Chapter 108: Dismissal of the law
Xu Shu didn't plan to get Fa Zheng done in this time. He had just realized that Fa Zheng was a proud person, an extremely conceited person, and he was very stingy. He needed to come a few more times before he could invite Fa Zheng to Liu Bei.
Yes, Xu Shu felt that he was still a little lacking in ability to recruit Fazheng. But if Liu Bei had taken action, Xu Shu would think there was not much problem. In terms of fooling others, Xu Shu felt that Liu Bei was a well-deserved strong man.
This time, Xu Shu came here, and he felt that he had lured Fa Zheng's dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang, and was waiting for this dissatisfaction to grow vigorously. Xu Shu didn't think that Xu Shu had no dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang at all.
Putting his heart in his heart, Xu Shu felt that if he was in the situation of Fazheng, he would definitely leave with his seal. He just didn't know why Fazheng was still staying in Yizhou.
Xu Shu didn't know that once Fa Zheng left Liu Zhang, he might have suffered crazy revenge from the scholars in Yizhou. If Zhang Song hadn't been protected by Zhang's past few years, Fa Zheng would have died long ago.
After Xu Shu left, Zhang Song and Meng Da both came out of the secret room.
"Xiaozhi, how long has it been since your secret room been cleaned? There was a smell inside, and Ziqiao and I almost couldn't stand it." Meng Da's first sentence was to blame Fazheng.
Fa Zheng gave Meng Da a blank look. This secret room was kept by Fa Zheng in the future and if it was used, he rarely used it.
Zhang Song didn't care about this, so he called Fa Zheng and Meng Da to sit down, and then said, "Xiaozhi, it seems that Liu Bei has become interested in you."
"Well, with Xu Shu's performance, Liu Bei seemed to mean that." Fa Zheng said in agreement.
Meng Da said happily: "Isn't this very good? Liu Bei wants to recruit Xiaozhi, and Xiaozhi can join them as he goes with the flow."
"Xiaozhi, what do you think?" Zhang Song seemed to have the same meaning as Meng Da.
After thinking for a while, Fa Zheng said, "Just just now, Xu Shu kept trying to arouse my dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang. I also revealed something as he wished. Liu Bei never talks in his work. It is estimated that it will take not long before Liu Zhang will receive some bad words about me."
"It seems that Xiaozhi is already very familiar with Liu Bei. If Liu Bei wants Xiaozhi to vote towards him, he will naturally not come licking his face. If Xiaozhi takes the initiative to vote, it will be different." Zhang Song said with relief.
Fa Zheng nodded slightly.
Meng Da said in confusion: "Zi Qiao, what's going on? Xiaozhi took the initiative to surrender to Liu Bei, which is different from our plan."
Fa Zheng said, "Zi Du, you misunderstood. If Liu Zhang had any actions against me, please don't bother with Zi Qiao and Zi Du. I want to see what methods Liu Bei would use."
"Okay, since Kojima has such a plan, I won't care if I'm in Xiahe Zidu. I just might feel wronged." Zhang Song said.
Meng Da couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to say more, so as not to make Zhang Song and Fa Zheng feel that his IQ could not keep up.
Fa Zhengsaran said, "I am wronged? In Yizhou, do I suffer less grievances? Is there such a little bit of it?"
Zhang Song was very pitiful to Fazheng. Since Fazheng came to Yizhou, he was constantly wronged, making a gentleman who was righteous and honest, so he didn't know what these scholars in Yizhou thought.
Fa Zheng means this, and Zhang Song and Meng Da are not good at continuing to say something. They found an excuse and went back, leaving Fa Zheng alone in a daze.
"Liu Bei, if you really want to recruit me, show me your skills. But in the end you are still useless!" Fa Zheng thought calmly: "If it is really as I thought before, then the people in Yizhou will definitely move. Haha!"
Fa Zheng laughed coldly, making people feel a chill.
On the other hand, Xu Shu had returned to Liu Bei and reported his gains to Liu Bei.
"Yuan Zhi, are you saying that Xiaozhi is very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang?" Liu Bei was very close to Xu Shu in private.
Xu Shu said affirmatively: "From Fazheng's performance, Liu Zhang has lost the talent of Fazheng. As long as the lord uses a little trick, Fa Xiaozhi will come and vote."
Liu Bei was very satisfied. He didn't mind that there were many talents in terms of talents. Facts proved that the more talents you have, the greater the advantage you can gain in the battle to dominate the world. Liu Yu, the world's overlord, is the one with the most talents. Cao Cao and Sun Ce, who are in the separatist side, are also full of talents. Only Liu Bei's talents except Xu Shu, Wei Yan can take advantage of them, and the others are one or two cats.
"Yuanzhi, it seems that you have to go to Faxiaozhi's place a few more times. Hi, if I hadn't pretended to be sick and wouldn't go out, otherwise, I would have come to visit Fazheng in person." Liu Bei wanted to use sincerity to move Fazheng.
"Lord, in fact, as shown below, we don't have to be so attentive to Fa Zheng, we just need to use some means." Xu Shu said.
"Oh? Yuan Zhi, what trick do you have?" Liu Bei asked.
Xu Shu said softly in Liu Bei's ear. After Liu Bei finished listening, there was no joy on his face, but it was vaguely obvious that Liu Bei agreed very much.
"Yuanzhi, please let go." Liu Bei ordered.
Xu Shu bowed and said, "I'm here to obey the order!"
What exactly did Xu Shu and Liu Bei say? Only the two of them know.
In the next two days, Liu Bei's people did not visit Fa Zheng, as if they had forgotten Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng laughed in his heart: Retreat as advance, do you think I don’t know?
The whole Chengdu city looked very calm, but something unexpected suddenly happened.
Rumors are everywhere in Chengdu, and these rumors are not about Liu Zhang, but about Fa Zheng. Many people know that some people have to deal with Fa Zheng. However, it is expected that such a thing happened today.
Some of them are rumors about law and law violations. What embezzles public funds, disregards human lives, and acts rampant are just crimes that are not a big deal. Such rumors, let alone the law correct, even those who do not deal with law correct. They wanted to collect evidence of law violations and law violations before, but unfortunately they were at a loss. Fazheng is easy to offend people, but fortunately, they have always been clean and there is almost no evidence of their crimes.
Of course, Fa Zheng knew that this was Liu Bei's method, and there was no one except Liu Bei. It was just that Fa Zheng hoped that Liu Bei could come up with something more powerful, otherwise Fa Zheng would look down on Liu Bei.
This kind of rumor of violation of laws and regulations is just a prelude to it. Liu Bei and the others have even more powerful ones.
The following rumors shocked Chengdu officials and even Liu Zhang.
There were news of Fa Zheng’s dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang everywhere in Chengdu. After Fa Zheng came to Yizhou, he contributed so much to Yizhou. Now he is just a suggestion captain. Fa Zheng is already very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, often lamenting that he is not appreciated, and even scolds Liu Zhang as a foolish person who does not understand his talent. Rumors and rumors also say that Fa Zheng is always thinking about leaving Yizhou to find a wise ruler who understands him. In addition to these, Fa Zheng is also walking around secretly, wanting to bring together a group of people so that he can have the capital to pursue wealth and prosperity.
Why did such news shock Liu Zhang?
Because Liu Zhang knew that Fa Zheng was really talented, but there were too many people that Fa Zheng offended, which made Liu Zhang unable to promote him. Liu Zhang wanted to maintain the stability of the entire Yizhou. People like Fa Zheng who had talented but poor interpersonal relationships could be used, but they could not be reused. It was only given by Liu Zhang to suggest the position of lieutenant to Fa Zheng because Fa Zheng is really talented and Zhang Song's face. But now the rumors are dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, and even thought of leaving Yizhou, which made Liu Zhang feel unstable. Talents rot in his own hands, which is also his own. But if they are in the hands of others, it is to increase their strength to others.
At this time, Liu Zhang had the idea of getting rid of Fazheng.
Zhang Song and Meng Da finally understood why Fa Zheng told them not to worry. It turned out that Fa Zheng had expected Liu Bei to play this trick. After Zhang Song and Meng Da thought about it, they felt that they still listened to Fa Zheng. Because what they did was the same as the rumor.
The others were even more moved. Fa Zheng was a very annoying person, and now he was trying to escape from Yizhou. Doesn’t this mean that Fa Zheng wants to take revenge on them in the future after leaving Yizhou? So the Yizhou scholars who Fa Zheng offended were planning to beat Fa Zheng to death this time. But the most important thing is that they need to look at Liu Zhang’s attitude.
Liu Zhang did not disappoint these scholars in Yizhou. He summoned his subordinates except Fa Zheng to discuss, nominally responding to rumors in Chengdu, but actually wanted to hear his subordinates' views on Fa Zheng.
There is naturally no benefit from the parties involved in the meeting without the parties involved.
Zhang Song and Meng Da chose silence decisively. When other civil and military officials saw that Liu Zhang meant this, they expressed their opinions. Their meaning was very clear. The so-called "no wind can cause waves", and Fa Zheng is probably such a person. They suggested that Liu Zhang arrest Fa Zheng immediately and interrogate it carefully. Only a few people, like Zhang Song and Meng Da, remained silent. These few people were very clear about the right and wrong, and understood that Fa Zheng must have been wronged. However, under the surging emotions, they were not easy to come out to speak for Fa Zheng. After all, Zhang Song and Meng Da, two people with good relationships with Fa Zheng were silent, and there was no need for them to speak.
Their approach was really vicious and did not give Fa Zheng a chance to defend himself. As long as these people used a major punishment, Fa Zheng could only do so obediently.
Fortunately, although Liu Zhang was foolish and kind-hearted, he thought it was undesirable to directly arrest Fa Zheng.
But how could the scholars in Yizhou who Fa Zheng offended missed such a good opportunity? They kept saying bad things about Fa Zheng in front of Liu Zhang, and demanded that they would not be trusted.
Zhang Song and Meng Da watched these people perform coldly, and decided to make these people pay the price in the future.
At this moment, a few silent subordinates such as Zheng Du, Wu Yi, Huang Quan spoke. They really couldn't stand the continued development of such things and said a few fair words for Fa Zheng. These were rumors and there was no evidence at all. In fact, there were factions under Liu Zhang's command, and there was always someone who wanted to make his opponent unhappy.
After someone said justice, Liu Zhang became even more undecided.
In the end, Liu Zhang was really tired and announced that the meeting was over and the matter of Fazheng was discussed in the future. Fazheng seemed to have been delayed.
But the scholars of Yizhou who Fa Zheng had offended would not let go so easily this time. They had already seen Liu Zhang's thoughts and immediately began to act.
Didn’t Zheng Du, Wu Yi, Huang Quan and others say something rumored and there was no evidence? Then they would come up with deadly evidence.
At this time, news came from Xindu County, where Fa Zheng had been a county magistrate. The current Xindu County Magistrate reported that the former county magistrate Fa Zheng had lost 500 yuan in public funds. Xindu County Magistrate even reported to his superiors that during the period when Fa Zheng was in office, he bullied Liangshan, and even embezzled and accepted bribes and ignored human lives.
It's not a rumor now. The county magistrate of Xindu County took out the account books, files, and witness testimony, and a lot of fatal evidence.
When these evidences were taken to Liu Zhang by someone who was interested, Liu Zhang now felt that he had misread Fazheng in the past.
Zhang Song looked at these evidences one by one, and after reading them, he cursed that he was shameless. These books and files were all remade. As a different leader, Zhang Song had read all the relevant information of various counties and counties in Yizhou. With Zhang Song's talent to remember, there was no file that he could not remember.
"You can't be so shameless!" Zhang Song cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Liu Zhang looked at the evidence angrily, but he didn't expect that Fa Zheng, who was considered honest in his heart, actually embezzled 300 yuan of public funds. 300 yuan was nothing to Liu Zhang, but it made Liu Zhang angry. What Liu Zhang hated the most was people who were different from each other. Liu Zhang never wanted to see Fa Zheng again.
"Repeal all official positions of Xiaozhi, demoted to civilians, and never complained!" Liu Zhang issued an order angrily.
This can be regarded as Liu Zhang's opening of the Fazheng Network. Of course, the relationship between Zhang Song, Meng Da and Fazheng forced Liu Zhang to leave some room.
The scholars of Yizhou who were not in the face of Fazheng were obviously unwilling to accept such a result. They shouted that they were not strict with the right way, which was unjust.
However, after saying this, Zhang Song angered.
Zhang Song stared at his eyes and said softly: "I am definitely unfair. Why not do this? I will come to hear the case personally. I will ensure that all my colleagues are satisfied! Don't worry, I have always hated evil and will not let a bad person go."
An invisible threat! Zhang Song seems fair, but is actually a threat.
Speaking of a person's strength, it depends on his deterrence. Zhang Song said lightly, it works better than anyone else.
Liu Zhang didn't want to be so troublesome. He was a person who was not valued, so he would be dismissed if he was dismissed. Of course, in order to prevent Fa Zheng from leaving Yizhou, Liu Zhang ordered Fa Zheng not to leave Chengdu City.
Things have become a foregone conclusion when things come here.
