Chapter 148: All parties react
The intention of Li Linghuai to come and arrest people seemed to have been seen by Wang Ningzhi, so Xie Daoyun was surprised to find that there were still a large group of guards at home, unlike yesterday, who were all out to do business.
Walking out from Wang Xizhi, you can see the guards walking around on the road, wandering around at the entrances of various important courtyards. When you see her passing by, you hurriedly salute without being rushing, but there is no abnormality... But Xie Daoyuan is not only a talented woman, but also a person with great wisdom in Wang Ningzhi's eyes. As Wang Ningzhi's pillow, although she cannot fully understand some of the words and deeds of the husband, she can understand them, and can see the inner and even deeper foreshadowing from the surface. In daily interactions, this is the interaction between the two people and the outsiders, and the connotation is not without wit.
There were also more people at the door of the second room. When she saw her appear, she hurriedly came over: "Mrs. Young Madam, what happened to Erlang?"
Xie Daoyun vaguely remembered the names of these people, Ge Shun, Liu Hu, etc. It seemed that they were not the original troops, but were transformed from the refugee army, but they were also valued. It seemed that there was no problem with loyalty, so she responded faintly: "It was said that it was related to the massacre of the Xu family in Yixing, and was captured by the Yangzhou Governor Li Linghuai."
Ge Shun's face changed, he looked at the others behind him, and then said to Xie Daoyun: "Young lady, don't worry. Erlang had expected this, and we were also prepared, but..."
He looked around, Xie Daoyun instantly understood and nodded, "It's said inside.
A group of people entered the study room, and Ge Shun continued: "What I want to say below is Erlang's meaning. We did it in the Yixing Xu family, but it should be handled very cleanly. After our investigation, Li Linghuai only mastered two key people, Han Ziwen's confidant Fang Ming and Xu Shuai... Xu Heng."
"Xu Heng?" Xie Daoyun raised her eyebrows and thought for no reason what the Heavenly King Ningzhi said to her, as if Xu Heng also had a task? Just like Wang Ningzhi, she narrowed her eyes and signaled Ge Shun to continue speaking.
"Fang Ming should be able to prove that it was the Yixing Xu family who we were going to. Erlang made some analysis of him. Among us, why did Li Linghuai contact him? In addition to his duty in Yixing County, there are probably other reasons - for example, the remaining bodies in Yixing County Prison may not be burned out. Han Ziwen's body, and what signs does Han Ziwen's body have to be recognized?" Ge Shun sighed, "Han Ziwen is our leader. We all know many of his things, such as the jade pendant he carried with him... So Erlang believes that the matter is from the jade pendant."
"Where is Xu Heng?" Xie Daoyun said, "Even if Fang Ming can be sure that you attacked Xu, Han Ziming's jade pendant can confirm that you appeared there, but how to connect with the Langjun is not the role of Xu Heng, right?"
"It was exactly the night when the hurricane hit, Erlang replaced Xu Heng and Puxiang from the county jail generals, and went to the Xu family farm together. If Xu Heng gave evidence, Erlang... would be very lucky."
"What do you want us to do?" He did not hear the overly worried from Ge Shun's words. Xie Daoyun thought about it and realized that it was because Li Linghuai could not prove her. Langjun had absolute confidence in any way. Then, Ge Shun and the others came to find him, obviously for other things.
"Erlang once promised Zheng Qingfeng, the master of Qixia Temple, to ask the Taoist of the Evolution Sect to do things for Langjun, so Langjun will help him preach. This is an opportunity. During the disaster relief, Erlang gained gratitude from many people, but this gratitude was not fulfilled, so Erlang wanted to take this opportunity to transform this gratitude into something real, such as the number of people in the sect - and ask the young lady to write a few documents in his own hand, preferably with a seal, and we will go and execute Erlang's orders." Ge Shun said respectfully, and after saying that, he did not wait for Xie Daoyuan to act, he continued, "Erlang has some words to tell the young lady."
"What do you mean?" Xie Daoyuan looked over with cold eyes.
Ge Shun's body trembled and was a little afraid, but he still said, "The reason why Erlang did not tell the young lady these things in advance, but instead told me that it was because he was not sure that Li Linghuai would definitely take action. Since he could not make sure that it would happen, he was unwilling to tell the young lady these things, so that the young lady would only increase his worries... Erlang said that a gentleman who can make his family feel safe and warm is a good man, so please don't be upset."
As Ge Shun said, Xie Daoyuan gradually smiled and her eyes seemed to have become vivid. She ignored the thoughts of the characters, so she picked up the pen that Wang Ningzhi often used and said, "Grind ink."
...
The big white geese were clattering, almost becoming a landmark scene in this village.
Out of respect for Hei Qier, many villagers also began to raise white geese at home, so that when they went to a few families, they could often hear irritable screams.
This is a village that has just been built. Compared with the villages in the past, it is clean and tidy and has a smooth plan. It was built by several villages in the past. Some refugees also live in it. Due to Wang Ningzhi's government orders, taxes have been reduced. Although the labor-for-relief has been completed, you can still borrow food from the county magistrate's office. You only need to wait for the grain to mature this season before returning it. The interest rate is very small.
But although a lot of taxes have been reduced, for villagers, their lives will be more difficult in the second half of this year, and they will only look better next year - the premise is that the government orders continue.
The villagers were already very satisfied, at least they had no worse life than before, which was enough to satisfy them. The statues of gods erected in the center of the village center square filled their inner emptiness. Compared with the Shangqing School, which was high above and spread less Buddhism, the Evolution School was obviously more in line with their interests.
At this time, the square was very lively, and a group of villagers were worshiping the statue of Wang Ning.
This is a spontaneous worship. Originally, the village chief would organize worship every morning, and then the villagers would start working in the fields, and then it turned out like this. Before going to the fields in the afternoon, someone would come to worship spontaneously. Although it was spontaneous, it looked like an organized one.
Hei Qier was wearing a Taoist robe. Although her skin was still dark, she was capable and had a bad appearance. She did not participate with the village chief, but looked at Chen Quan who was holding her in surprise. She quickly reacted and whispered: "What happened?"
Chen Quan nodded and handed him the documents in his hand: "Look at it."
Hei Qier simply knew how to read, took the document and looked at it, his eyes fixed on the last seal: "Written by the young lady?"
"That's right, so how to do it depends on yours. I have to go to other villages here, so I'll leave first..." Chen Quan hurriedly explained, turned around and left Hei Qi'er alone, until the villagers reminded him that it was time to pass, and then suddenly woke up, passed through the figures of a group of villagers, entered the center of the square, and stood on the platform.
"Village Chief, don't rush to worship first. I have something to say." Hei Qi'er's face was filled with sadness and frowned, "It's very important."
When the village chief saw it, he suddenly felt a sudden heart and gave the position to Hei Qier: "Little Zhenren, what's the matter? It's so urgent?"
"About the Duke." After saying a word, Hei Qier looked at the lowly villagers, coughed hard, and raised his voice, "Everyone, calm down first."
The noise gradually continued. After a moment, everyone stared at Hei Qi'er. They didn't understand why Hei Qi'er's face, who was smiling on her face, suddenly became so ugly, as if she was hit hard. However, Hei Qi'er was of great help to them. Many people respected it and would not make trouble at this time.
Hei Qier was brewing feelings and suddenly asked: "Do you think you are living today? Do you still worry about the precarious houses, intensive taxes, unpaid farmland, and slim hope. You feel helpless about this, so you are displaced and become a refugee?"
The villagers were stunned, and after a while someone said, "Although it is still difficult now, the Duke brought me hope, so there is no such worry."
"Yes, the Fujun has brought us hope that we live in a wooden house and will not collapse even if it is windy or rainy. The farmland has been destroyed, but the Fujun has reduced taxes. Even... I know you may have heard some news. The Fujun intends to raise a private school to educate children of a certain age--" Hei Qier stopped for a moment, squatted down slowly, and showed the documents in his hand to the villagers, "The Fujun was arrested and imprisoned."
"What?"
"Mr....Mr. isn't she imprisoned?"
"What's going on? Could it be that Fujun has committed a crime? It shouldn't be. Isn't Fujun at home these days?"
...
Hei Qier's expression was very sad, and his grief seemed to be contagious. When the villagers heard that the people they worshiped were sent to prison, they were extremely anxious. Although not everyone cared about Wang Ningzhi, Wang Ningzhi had a very important relationship with their government orders for the next six months. How could they not care about it? Besides, in their eyes, Hei Qier was really sad and continued to speak: "The Lord of the House was framed."
"Everyone knows that I am a Taoist in Qixia Temple, and our sect was evolved by the Taoist Taoist in Shangqing School. Taoist Taoist in Shangqing School focuses on his origin rather than saving the world. They are often children of aristocratic families. However, the government orders of the Duke of the Duke allow us to live and work in peace and contentment, making it impossible for them to absorb refugees as subordinates, slaves, and tenants. Because of this, they hold hatred to the Duke of the Duke... Do you remember that the Shangqing School Taoist in Taoyuan, Kuaiji after the hurricane? Isn't it just that they gathered together to insult the Duke of the Duke?" Hei Qier said indignantly, "They slander the Duke of the Duke of the Duke is related to a massacre of the family. I want to take this opportunity to get rid of the Duke of the Duke, so that their people can succeed to the prefect and change the Duke of the Duke of the Duke!"
There was an uproar, and the villagers who were still silent just now suddenly started to make noise when they saw him.
"I know you may not believe it. I just got the news, but villagers who have relatives in Wujun can ask if Gu Qi from the Gu family of Wujun are interested in being the governor of Kuaiji!" Hei Qier walked down from the stage and walked slowly in the crowd. Every time he went, he would see the same indignant villagers. "They are high and do not take us seriously at all, but we can't beat them at all. We can only pray for the Lord of the Mansion to spend the rest of our lives-"
Perhaps suddenly realized that what he said was a bit too much, Hei Qier hurriedly changed the topic: "The letter in my hand was written by Xie Lingjiang, the wife of the Fujun. The letter contained the date of the Fujun's arraignment and the request of the county magistrate. She would go to seek justice on the day the Fujun was arraigned... I hope we can go there together and tell the world that good people will be rewarded and bad people will be rewarded!"
"It was the request of the county magistrate's wife."
"For us, the county magistrate was imprisoned, and the county magistrate's wife begged us to help... everyone, will you go?"
"go!"
...
In Shangyu County, Lin Changxiu handed the document in his hand to the old village chief who was literate, turned around and looked at the group of villagers in front of him. His body trembled slightly due to excitement, and his lips were pursed hard, and he looked at everyone silently, as if he felt his emotions. A group of villagers looked at him nervously.
After reading the document, the old village chief slowly lowered his hand and said to the villagers: "Everyone has understood what Xiao Zhenren said just now, and I have read it too. It was indeed written by the county magistrate's wife, and everyone thinks..."
"The Lord of the Mansion is very waiting for me, I will definitely go anyway!"
"I'll go, too."
"We'll go together, we must avenge the Lord of the Mansion!"
...
...
The sun sets, and the sun is getting dusk.
A fast horse ran over and stopped at the door of Xie's house, known as Wuyi Lane. After the notice, the sender delivered the letter to him.
Not long after, in the courtyard, Xie An looked at the two letters in his hand, walked his beard and opened them one by one to take a closer look.
One of them was a letter from Li Linghuai, the governor of Yangzhou. The letter stated that the case of the Yixing Xu family's family extermination had the latest progress, but after finding it, it was found that all the evidence pointed to Wang Ningzhi of the Wang family of Langya. Because Wang Ningzhi was the prefect of Kuaiji County, Xie An now serves as the position of Shizhong, Central Guardian, and Minister of Personnel. He naturally needs to know about the cases related to fifth-rank officials.
"Is it related to Shuping?" He smiled softly and signaled to the maid next to him to hold the light, "He has never been peaceful this year."
While talking to himself, he opened the second letter from his niece Xie Daoyun. The handwriting was beautiful but very powerful. If he were not familiar, he would think it was a man's hand. After Xie An carefully read it, he pondered for a moment, but this time he did not talk to himself again. Obviously, things were a bit important, and there was a maid next to him, which was not suitable for them to hear.
After a while, the maid called the servant over and thought, "The case of Yixing Xu has made progress. Yangzhou Governor Li Linghuai will interrogate the person involved at noon the day after tomorrow. This matter is quite important. Qiudu (Xie Yao's name, Xie An's eldest son) is not here. You go and inform Yuandu (Xie Yan's name, Xie An's second son) and let him go tomorrow and attend on my behalf."
"yes."
