Turbulent Times Chapter 995: The third purpose
All the officials and nobles in Fanyang County received the white post from the Lu family's ancestral house, but except for those who are related to the Lu family, other officials and nobles hesitated again and again, but finally did not go to the Lu family Some of them even sent their unimportant nephews to the ancestral house to express their condolences, and some even pretended not to know.
These people acted like this, naturally because of the prefect in the county seat of Zhuo County. After Dou Shihai was killed and Lu Bian was forced to death, the result of the battle in Fanyang County has come out. Naturally, the prefect The adult's complete victory is the result.
Now everyone is looking at whether the prefect is going to kill them all, or to what extent, everyone knows that after the Lu family, there will be a big cleansing of the officialdom in Fanyang County. Originally, all officials and many nobles He has inextricable relationship with Lu Shi, and at this time, he is afraid that he will not be completely related to Lu Bian. Who would dare to attend Lu Bian's funeral? The so-called world is just so cold.
…
…
It's just that troubles have not been seen for a long time, especially Wang Junlin was looking forward to those useless scholars who were looking forward to doing things. Wang Junlin was disappointed, and called Shen Guoer. The two discussed for more than an hour, and directed a big show.
Wang Junlin sent someone to arrest Lu Bian's fifth son, Lu Youwei's fifth younger brother, Lu Youfeng. The dummy, holding a bow and arrow secretly shot the dummy.
This reason is naturally a bit absurd, but so what! The prefect is so domineering, so indifferent to his own reputation, and so fond of ruining his own reputation.
The next day, people began to gather in front of the post where Wang Junlin lived, cursing loudly and shouting those unknown slogans, such as releasing Lu Youfeng and returning Lu's innocence.
What made the Lu family even more delighted was that students from Lu's College and scholars from Fanyang County also joined the ranks. The young students were full of enthusiasm, and they were provoked by the people arranged by Shen Guoer. The people arranged by Shen Guoer took the lead, each of them was very angry, as if the prefect had messed with their women, they made loud noises and angrily reprimanded them.
The posthouse where Wang Junlin lived was naturally as calm as usual, but this frightened the county magistrate, county lieutenant, capital lieutenant, and county magistrate of Zhuo County. Colluding with each other, they have been carefully serving the prefect these days, and it seems to be effective. The prefect has not done anything to them, but you untouchables jumped out to make troubles, and these damned scholars simply want to Kill us!
The four officials of Zhuo County became angry and panicked. They led a thousand county soldiers and nearly a hundred small officials to guard outside the post house as quickly as possible, and sent those angry scholars He and Shen Guoer secretly hired beggars and hooligans to drive them away.
After driving away the troublemakers temporarily, four officials from Zhuo County entered the posthouse and pleaded guilty to the prefect. According to the intention of the four people, all these people should be thrown into prison, and the leader should be killed for the crime of treason. They committed suicide, and sent their family members to jail.
Wang Junlin glanced at the four of them, thinking that these four are the kind of people who have no lower limit for their official positions!
Thinking that these four people must continue to be officials, Wang Junlin said lightly: "They are all hot-blooded young people. Since I have ever cared about my reputation, don't make things difficult for them... Outside It's freezing cold, and after a long time, the blood will also be cold, and it won't take long for them to disperse."
As if they had rehearsed, the four quickly bowed down and said in unison: "Your Excellency is wise."
Wang Junlin believes that the spy organization controlled by the old **** next to Yang Guang must have arranged many spies in Fanyang County and even in Zhuo County at this time. After these people reported today's scene to Yang Guang, it was him The greatest advantage.
…
…
Under the directing of Shen Guoer, the ordinary people played by local hooligans and beggars dispersed before eating with their extra wages, but those scholars were not there yet, because this was originally arranged by Wang Junlin. Shen Guoer bribed three scholars to take the lead, and finally gathered more than a hundred scholars. Although Wang Junlin knew that these people would not be able to accomplish anything, what he lacked most at the moment were scholars, because reading, literacy, and rationality are the ones that govern the government. must have conditions. Therefore, Wang Junlin also had a third purpose to instigate some scholars to make trouble by self-directing and acting - to find some people who can be used, and then cultivate them.
In the evening, it snowed again, and more than a hundred scholars were shivering in front of the post house, but there was still no reaction inside the post house, and the lights inside could be seen faintly flickering, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard. The rain came.
The county magistrate and magistrate had already left, and the county lieutenant and the capital lieutenant led the county soldiers and some arrests to stand in line. A torch was lit in their hands, illuminating the hall outside the post house.
Snowflakes are flying, and the clothes of the scholars who are still outside the post house have already been covered. They look at each other and shake off the snowflakes on their bodies, and some can't believe their ears. These people are already like this, Mr. Taishou There is still such leisure and elegance.
I was suffering from the cold, but the prefect was listening to the opera. These scholars became inexplicably angry, and the cursing voices that had stopped for a while due to exhaustion resounded loudly.
In the midst of the scolding, Shan Xiongxin came out and looked at the scholars calmly. When these scholars finally saw someone coming out of the posthouse, they immediately fell silent and looked at him angrily. Shan Xiongxin.
Shan Xiongxin said loudly: "The prefect said, you are young, you are misled, and the prefect does not blame you. But you are instigated and promoted, but you don't know the truth. How stupid? You are scholars, but now you are so stupid. It's really insulting to be so noisy like a shrew in the market, the prefect is going to let you wait in, and confront the prefect face to face, please!"
The audience was suddenly dead silent, Wang Junlin's reputation for viciousness and poison was too strong, if it were replaced by other people as the prefect, at least they would not be afraid that their lives would be in danger. Can come out alive?
For a while, no one dared to say anything. The three scholars who were bought by Shen Guoer didn't know who bought them. They are unwilling to take their own lives.
Seeing that no scholars dared to stand up for a long time, Shan Xiong was confident that the prefect would be disappointed, and there were still very few scholars who were truly courageous and upright.
At this time, a scholar stood up, followed by three more scholars, all four of them had determination in their eyes, and they looked like they were going to die.
Shan Xiongxin glanced at the four of them, with a smirk on his face, which made the four scholars feel cold. Haoran uprightly supported them and followed Shan Xiongxin into the post house.
