The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the traditional festival of the Song Dynasty, Zhongyuan Festival. Buddhism calls it the Ullamban Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival among the people.

A few days ago, there were various items sold on the street, such as boots, shoes, toes, hats, golden rhino fake belts, colorful clothes, etc. Some people placed various items on wooden shelves made of paper and went to the street to sell them everywhere.

The Panlou area and the wasili in the east and west of the city are as lively as the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Anyone who has built a new tomb outside the city will come to pay homage to the temple on July 15th.

On this day, there will be a carriage and horse in the palace to visit the grave.

The inner officials in the palace worked with various departments under the temple department to arrange meetings and burn money mountains to commemorate the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the country in the past, and also opened a temple to pay tribute to these lonely dead souls.

"Haha, Ghost Festival, it's really a sign of demons dancing. Have you seen the article "Accuses of the Fathers and Elders of Chenliu County" published in the Song Dynasty Weekly?"

Zhang Yuliu ranked high in the upper and the left and right rows of the lower and the richest squire in Chenliu County.

An old man with white beard laughed and said, "I saw it, it's all nonsense!"

Zhang Yuliu stroked her beard and said, "The boy from the Ouyang family is testing us. If our attitude is not firm enough, he may really want to send the Qingzhang team here. What are your countermeasures?"

The white-bearded old man pretended to be crazy and stupid: "Test? What to test?"

Zhang Yuliu glanced at the white-bearded old man and said a little dissatisfied: "Old Wu, you are a famous wise man in Chenliu County. Can't you see that the boy from the Ouyang family is testing?

Qingzhangtianmu has always been a sneak attack. How could Qingzhang team inform you in advance before it arrives?

He deliberately wrote in the weekly newspaper just to see our reaction.

If we had no reaction, they would have come.

If we object, then there will be a conflict. If there is a conflict, then the matter will be big or small!"

The old man Wu, the white-bearded man, smiled and said, "Oh, so that's the case."

Speaking of this, Mr. Wu stopped talking about it.

The biggest landlord in Chenliu County is the Zhang family. His Wu family has a lot of land, but compared with those here, his family still has a little less land. His family mainly focuses on doing business, so why bother to take this muddy water?

Seeing this, Zhang Yuliu was filled with anger and turned her eyes to the others. The others also whispered to each other and did not look at him at all.

Zhang Yuliu gritted her teeth.

They are all old foxes.

But it is normal. The total land of all of them is not as large as that of the Zhang family. They are unwilling to leave this. If the Zhang family wants to keep the hidden land, they have to stand up on their own.

Zhang Yuliu invited them here today. Can they still not know what they meant, it was just to win them over to fight against the court.

If it is really a matter of life and death, they will naturally have to work hard, but it is not yet. Zhang Yuliu himself did not stand out first, but invited them over. Why do you want them to be the first to stand out?

They don't do it!

This kind of discussion usually has no result and the meeting ends unhappily.

Zhang Yuliu sat in the hall and cursed, cursing Ouyang Bian, cursing the landlords of Chenliu County, cursing Xu Ying, and cursing the magistrate of the fifteen counties of Kaifeng.

If it weren't for the memorial from the fifteen counties of Kaifeng, the court would probably not have had this idea, and would not have regarded Chenliu County as the first place to investigate!

It’s all because of Xu Ying’s evil deed!

July 16th.

Ouyang Bian gave lectures to Lu Huiqing and others in the Political Affairs Hall.

"This time, you must pay attention to your personal safety. When you go out to measure the land, you must let the attendant imperial guards follow you, and the local yamen runners also let them follow you to prevent accidents.

Pay attention to working methods. When facing farmers who do not understand the situation, you must explain the policies to them. Don’t be too rude. You must first separate the people who don’t know the truth.

But you must pay attention that your personal safety is the most important thing. If someone dares to resist the law violently, you must dare to fight back.

You must be clear that you represent the court, and our policy formulation is comprehensively considered. People who do not know the truth should also be moved by emotion and reason, but those who have ulterior motives should dare to sanction them!"

Lu Huiqing and others were secretly shocked. Ouyang Bian's words sounded like they were simply asking them to pay attention to safety, but when they contacted the following words, they were murderous.

Seeing their expressions, Ouyang Bian smiled: "I hope there is no."

As soon as Ouyang Bian finished speaking, rapid footsteps came.

A clerk ran out of breath. When he saw Ouyang Bian, he was about to run over before he could speak. Ouyang Bian shouted, "Stop, what's the matter?"

The clerk stopped quickly, gasped and adjusted his breathing evenly: "Chen...Liu County Government Office was surrounded..."

Ouyang Bian's expression sank: "Who is so bold?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Ouyang Bian waved his hand, and the clerk quickly went to the back to report to his husbands.

Lu Huiqing and others looked at each other.

Ouyang Bian frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lu Huiqing hesitated and said, "Ji Mo... are we still going?"

Ouyang Bian raised his head and smiled: "Of course I have to go, I have to go as well as the swords in the sky, and... I'm afraid this is a warning to us!

Brother Lu and Brother Zhang, this time you two lead the team to the next battle, it may be a tough battle. As long as you follow the policy, don’t be afraid of things. If you dare to emerge, fight resolutely. After the fight, I will clean up!"

Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun showed a resolute look on their faces. They nodded, and Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Ji Mo, don't blame us for causing you a big trouble."

Ouyang Bian smiled, with a cold smile in his smile: "As expected, they really dare to hit the gun, and they are worried that there is no object to establish their authority!

You should set out quickly. No matter what the Zhang family, Wu family, or Li family, as long as you dare to emerge, you will fight resolutely!"

Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun hurried away with people. Ouyang Bian, Zeng Bu and others said: "They are going to the front line, we have to escort them in the rear, and our battle is about to begin!"

If this is a war, Lu Huiqing and others will go to the front line, and this court will be the key to the victory or defeat of the war.

Although Ouyang Bian seemed to have won over the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Sansi Office, the Censorate, etc., represent the backbone of the Song Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, before the tide recedes, he will not know who is the friend and who is the enemy.

Zeng Bu quietly approached Ouyang Bian and asked softly: "What are we going to do now?"

Ouyang Bian looked deep in the courtyard, where the officials of the Political Affairs Hall worked.

He smiled and said, "Wait!"

Zeng Bu and others nodded and went back to the government, but they were not waiting, and there were still many things to prepare for.

"Mr. Ouyang, Wen Xiang and others are welcome!"
Chapter completed!
