Turbulent Times Chapter 994: The man who manipulates the hearts of the people

Lu Youwei's heart sank. He vaguely understood Wang Junlin's plan. If Wang Junlin were to slaughter them, the Lu family, he would have a deadly enmity with tens of thousands of members of the Lu family, and he would be vigilant and hated by all the nobles in the world , was hated by the scholars of Fanyang County, and even all the scholars in the world. On the contrary, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Fanyang County, including hundreds of thousands of tenants, would not be separated from the prefect because of this matter.

So, the prefect wants to force him to kill members of the Lu family. If there is internal strife among the Lu clan, which leads to the weakening of the Lu family and even the extermination of the clan, what does it matter to the prefect? Even if the powerful nobles and scholars in the world know that the prefect is behind this matter, it is difficult to blame the prefect.

Thinking of this, Lu Youwei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley, but what could he do? Unless he doesn't want to be the suzerain of the Lu family, wants to lose his reputation, wants to die...or kills the prefect...he remembered what his father said before he was strangled to death by him.

…

…

After Lu Youwei left, the Spring and Autumn Valley Master who had been following Lu Youwei these days also left.

Concentrating on eating some buns, Xiang Xiang suddenly said: "Master, do you think this Lu Youwei will kill his people?"

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Yes, he will definitely. A person who even killed his own father is no longer a human being, but a lunatic. A lunatic can do anything!"

"It's just the last delusion that he hasn't done anything now. Shen Guang has already sent someone to take down the people he sent to the capital secretly, and got a fortune of gold and silver for nothing." Wang Junlin said with a smile: "In conclusion, this Lu Youwei is actually a character. He is scheming, tolerant, ruthless, and decisive enough to achieve his goals by any means. However, he has never understood a truth. In this country where the laws are not too restrictive, who has Whoever controls the force and the army has the final say, not to mention that he has not yet fully controlled the Lu family. Even if he has complete control, no matter how much wealth, no matter how many scholars support him, and no matter how great his prestige, what is the use? What!"

Perfume blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked, "Does the master want to kill all the members of the Lu clan?"

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Killing the Lu clan is indeed beneficial for me to completely control Fanyang County, but the blood flowed into rivers and the corpses are scattered everywhere... This is not good for me, so this matter can't be done." Urgently, force Lu Youwei to kill slowly! If Lu Youwei procrastinates and refuses to kill, we'll just give him another warning."

At this time, Shen Guoer came from outside the door. Wang Junlin asked someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. , and the views of those scholars, reported to Wang Junlin one by one, and finally reported in detail some of the officials at all levels in Fanyang County.

Wang Junlin listened very carefully, finally nodded, and said, "That fourth master of the Lu family, find someone to get in touch with him, find a way to make him develop ambitions, give him courage, and find someone for Lu Youwei. Make a mess."

Shen Guoer immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant, and said, "I understand, I'll make arrangements now."

…

…

In the final analysis, the price Wang Junlin paid was just his illusory reputation in the eyes of scholars and aristocrats, but his reputation is rotten, which is actually good. He even regrets that no trouble happened this time, you know If something goes wrong, Yang Guang will definitely find some reason to reprimand him, but this kind of self-inflicted stink is what he is very happy to see, because the more it is like this, the more Yang Guang feels relieved about himself.

If Lu Bian's prestige in the hearts of scholars in the world is not so high, if it is not a famous Confucian, just being the suzerain of the Lu family, Yang Guang would not have such a strong murderous intention.

Wang Junlin is very clear in his heart, like a mirror, the world is not in chaos now, his power comes from the emperor, or from the emperor's trust in him, but with Yang Guang's character, who knows when it will suddenly change? Thoughts?

Judging from the emperor's actions in recent years, Yang Guang has become more and more suspicious. He kicked himself out of the position of commander in chief of the Blue Yiwei Mansion and sent him to be the prefect of Fanyang County. But more is his fear of Wang Junlin. As for dealing with Lu Shi, it is not only possible to deal with the prefect of Fanyang County.

This is also the reason why Wang Junlin didn't want to intervene explicitly with the Fanyang County Navy Division. He believed that with his ability, as long as he showed greed for military power and tried to control the army, Yang Guang would definitely do something. That's why he asked Nie Xiaoyu to train soldiers in the name of Yan Ding in the self-contained salt field. No one has ever taken Yan Ding seriously, or regarded Yan Ding as a small official. This is just convenient for Wang Junlin to act in secret.

There is also Snake Island, which will be Wang Junlin's biggest secret. As for the two islands near Goguryeo that Yuan Taizuo gave him, I can't take care of them at this time. I sent Jin Yibei back to the county a few days ago City and other news, it is estimated that the other party can't wait.

......Shen Guoer finished eating a basket of steamed stuffed buns, and said in a low voice, "Sir, do you want to go to Lu's ancestral house and offer some incense sticks to Lu Bian?"

As Lord Wang Junlin, the prefect, going to offer sacrifices to Suzerain Lu can obviously ease the current situation and benefit his own image.

But... Wang Junlin just shook his head indifferently, and said, "Scumbags like Lu Bian who are just trying to gain fame, how could I pay homage to him."

Shen Guoer was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled, in her opinion, small actions can save a lot of trouble and bring a lot of benefits, so why not do it.

Wang Junlin stretched out his hand, pointed to the common people outside the window, and said softly: "The hearts of the people are not terrible, but those who stand above the people and can use the hearts of the people...we can use the hearts of the people now and People who change people's hearts. As for those scholars, if they can't even see what kind of existence Lu is, I don't care what he thinks about this kind of trash, these people can't affect the overall situation."

…

…

It's snowing again in Fanyang County, especially in Zhuo County.

In one night, the sky and the earth were completely white, and the funeral of Lu's suzerain will be held soon.

Wang Junlin looked at all this indifferently, seemingly not doing anything, but actually waiting for Lu Youwei to do something.

On the third day after Lu Youwei came to see Wang Junlin, there was a sound of mourning in Lu's ancestral house. There were white cloths hanging high and the mourning hall was open. It was the seven-day period for the coffin to rest.

After the seven-day mourning period is over, it is time to report the funeral. According to the funeral rules of this period, after seven days, the news of the funeral must be spread to relatives and friends, and then wait to be mourned by relatives and friends.
