Chapter 278 The person behind the scenes appears

That night, the staff of the governor Zhang Shuye rushed to the government office to report: "I don't know what happened in Haizhou County, but suddenly sent someone to guard the city gates in Sifang?"

Zhang Shuye laughed: "It was the old corrupt scholar in County Qu, right? I heard that he had made a mistake and said that the court had done something without authorization? Last time he spoke wildly. I forgave him for being old and useless because he had just taken office. Why did he have another problem this time? My government office is still in the city, and he didn't know how to guard the gate of Haizhou Prefecture City. Can he need him to guard?"

The secretary-in-chief chuckled and agreed, and explained carefully: "Dayin is not the order issued by Qu County Magistrate Qu, but the lieutenant of Meng County."

"Oh," Zhang Shuye pondered for a moment and changed his tone: "Meng County Magistrate started from the capital. He is familiar with the city foxes and the club. The official process will not be wrong. Since he issued this strange order, he must have heard some news and guarded against whom?...How did Haizhou County guard the gate?"

Secretary Zhang replied with a smile: "It's not a question of 'guarding the gate'. He just found a bunch of flower-armed men from Jinxiu Street to help, and stood at the city gate with his arms around him. There was neither investigation nor arrest."

"Look, it's really scaring someone to stop someone from entering the city... What are Qu Zhifeng, such a useless person, doing recently?"

"What can I do if I am idle in Haizhou County? Qu County only did one thing today: I allowed Mr. Fang's shop security and let Mr. Fang go home."

Zhang Shuye frowned: "This Haizhou County is uneasy at all... Let's check, what's going on with this former Juren Fang? Why did he release him home? County Magistrate Meng must guard the city gate strictly?"

Secretary Zhang added: "I felt strange and came to remind Dayin that not only did the Meng County Magistrate move, but some generals in the city were also acting. First, General Shi Chuan Shi, he lent out 40 people to the Haizhou County Station gate, and then selected dozens of people to go out to inspect the two streets of his own.

Not long afterwards, some generals from Haizhou County also appeared and went out to patrol the neighborhoods to which they belong. Although these people did not say anything on the street, suddenly, so many generals appeared on the street, which made the people in the city speculate endlessly.

Dayin, it’s better to ask the county magistrate Meng to ask. If there is nothing important, it’s better to calm the situation and let the generals disperse..."

Zhang Shuye looked solemn: "No, it must be that there is something wrong with the county magistrate Meng, and he will not do anything reckless. Shi Changqing, I also know that how could the pillar of the other sect who came out of the prime minister's family be a simple person? He seems to be rampant in his work, but in fact he is a cautious person... I remember that Old Man Fang lives in Cuizhuang, right?"

Secretary Zheng nodded and immediately took a look at it carefully: "Cuizhuang last year, 1,0300 refugees and more than 3,500 refugees. Cuizhuang opened a workshop and a rose garden. More than 3,000 people have been arranged. I have never heard of any idle people wandering around.

Cuizhuang is a female householder who set up a village, and Shi Changqing is also an official, so the tax is levied halfway - even so, Cuizhuang's taxes this year can triple... Oh, among them, Old Man Fang's workshops are also thousands of people."

"That's right... Qu Zhifeng dared to release him easily like this, so it's really stupid. From tomorrow, you vaguely hinted to the generals who came to the government office, so that they could also pay attention, to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and be careful."

Just as Zhang Shuye finished his explanation, a yamen runner came in to report: "The gentry of Donghai County came to report secretly."

Zhang Shuye replied disapprovingly: "It's late at night, so it's not a big deal, so let's put a lawsuit tomorrow."

The yamen runner hesitated to add: "The gentry's first complaint was a rebellion."

Uncle Zhang was frightened and immediately stood up and asked, "Donghai County gentry, did he talk to Donghai County?"

The yamen runners were also doing his husband's business and answered skillfully: "No, the squire said that he found something wrong and immediately took a boat to the mainland overnight to report to the prefecture yamen."

"Call in, call in—" Zhang Shuye shouted loudly.

The secretary came up to remind: "Donghai County is an isolated island. It was the base of the Mi thief Sun En during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Dayin, and there were sect bandits rebelling before. I heard that the Yellow Turban Cult and the White Lotus Cult were from the same lineage. Donghai County was isolated on the sea. Since someone had filed a rebellion first, you should pay attention to the rebels who don't think about Sun En, and occupied the island and called himself the king."

Zhang Shuye hurriedly asked: "What powerful gentry is there in Donghai County?"

"The new Tongzhou governor Shi Mou is on the island"

What else did Zhang Shuye ask? The yamen runners have invited the gentry in. Zhang Shuye just stopped talking, straightened his body, and asked the gentry in a low voice: "I am the Grand Priest of Haizhou and the governor Zhang Shuye, who is engaged in Haizhou business, you can say something if you have something to do."

The gentry kowtowed: "I know Da Yin. I have a gangster rebelled before. Five members of my family have been sent out. Da Yin once personally praised it."

Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Who else knows if you come to the government office?"

The gentry was stunned for a moment and thought that the magistrate was very strange. Instead of asking him what he wanted to report, he asked something irrelevant. He thought for a while and replied: "I'm here... I'm here and I'm here and I'm here and I'm here and I've discussed what I saw with Shi Yanei before. Yanei felt that it was important, so he secretly arranged the ship to let me land."

This is the most important content - Donghai County is isolated overseas, without the cooperation of local landlords, the yamen runners and official troops on the mainland dare not land on the island. Now that the local landlords are alert, Shi Yanei stays on the island and asks the gentry to make a secret complaint, he must be prepared. Then, no matter how big the matter is, it is within the controllable range.

"Tell me..." Zhang Shuye and his secretary relaxed their tight spine and began to show their style of scholars who were not panicked.

"I'm right, cough cough... I'm right, I'm right, having some private relationships with a group of new fishermen by the sea. The day before yesterday was fifteen. The tenant farmer was selling vegetables and food to the fishermen. I heard that they were discussing the "godial worship" ceremony that night..."

When Zhang Shuye heard the word "官网", his back was immediately straightened. He understood that this was not a false accusation, but a real sect bandit.

Sun En once separatisted the East China Island. Sun En's rebellion was once the most troublesome thing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty's economy was sluggish by the cyclical robbery of these bandits. Now, the bandits are eyeing the East China Island again. Isn't this a slight slander for Uncle Zhang?

"Have they ever called 'Amitabha'?" Zhang Shuye cut off the squire and interrupted.

The squire thought for a while: "I haven't heard of this word... I feel that they look strange when they say this, so I talked to Shi Yanei..."

Zhang Shuye cut off the squire again: "Did Shi Yanei say, what will he do after sending you away?"

The squire showed a thoughtful expression: "When I left, Yanei didn't say anything, but the yard was brightly lit, and the servants began to distribute swords and guns... Oh, Yanei invited the Ling brothers from the Mizhou firearm family from Shi Chuanshi Dalang in Haizhou. I saw that they also distributed a spherical object, saying it was a thunderbolt bullet from the Ling family in Mizhou."

"That's good, that's good-" Zhang Shuye breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the gentry: "This major rebellion must be conclusive. You should first stay in the government office, wait for the official to contact Shi Yanei, and then send the yamen runners to investigate..."

It seems that there is no need to investigate secretly. As soon as Zhang Shuye finished speaking, another yamen runner came in and whispered: "Someone is here to file a secret rebellion in Qushan Salt Field."

"Treason--" Zhang Shuye smiled: "When will it be the salt field turn to come out for the rebellion? Wait, come here."

Zhang Shuye greeted the squire with a gloomy face: "You just said that they were a group of new 'fishermen's' by the sea, fishermen? Yes?"

"Sir, please spare me..." The gentry knelt down with a pounce and kowtowed.

"No wonder you didn't go to Donghai County to make your debut, no wonder a salt field also makes your debut... Let the people from the salt field come in"

"Sir, please spare your life..." The Lord of the Salt Supervisor came in and kowtowed and wailed continuously.

Zhang Shuye had a tacit understanding and did not ask why the other party complained, but just confirmed: "You are also the first to sue the 'fishermen' in the East China Sea?"

The word "fisherman" that was specifically said in accent made the salt supervisor and the gentry breathe and immediately respond: "It's right"

The Salt Superintendent hesitated for a moment and added in a low voice: "The Lianshui Army is mobilizing personnel..."

Uncle Zhang's head buzzed: "Is this Lianshui Army also involved in this matter? You... the southeast half of the wall, you... are too brave."

The Salt Prison nodded timidly, and the gentry secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shuye gasped for a long time before he asked barely: "The court has always had a routine for resettlement of refugees. These fishermen suddenly appeared on the beach. I'm afraid they really came from refugees? Who led the resettlement?"

The Salt Superintendent did not speak, and the squire interrupted weakly: "It's the juren of Cuizhuang."

Uncle Zhang slapped the table and said, "Even I'm involved, it's really..."

The court has always had a routine for resettlement of refugees. After the rebellion of bandits, Haizhou encountered a rare drought. In order to reduce the burden on the government, Zhang Shuye made the decision and acquiesced Shi Chuan came out to accommodate refugees. Fang Juren quoted Shi Chuan's previous example and began to recruit refugees in large quantities. Now Shi Chuan has nothing to do, and Cui Zhuang has also increased taxes for the government. Zhang Shuye was originally very proud... But something happened to Fang Juren.

The reason for the incident was that Zhang Shuye destroyed the imperial system and allowed the gentry to privately accommodate refugees. However, because Zhang Shuye privately mobilized the imperial army last year, many people impeached and attacked the imperial court. Now that such a thing happens, the Salt Supervision cannot escape, the Lianshui Army cannot escape, and the poor supervision has caused officials in the southeast half of the southeast to be involved in the private salt smuggling of Haizhou Zhang Shuye, who is definitely the first criminal.

This kind of thing can only help all parties hide it.

At this time, Zhang Shuye had already understood the reason for the abnormal movement in Haizhou County: Qu Zhifeng released Fang Juren, and the matter was out of control. In order to avoid being confessed by Fang Juren and being involved in the crime of treason, all parties involved had to go from behind the scenes to the front: the Lianshui Army mobilized the army to destroy the evidence, the Salt Supervisor rushed to tell Zhang Shuye that it was not clean, and the gentry used the first sue to clean himself, Shi Yanei... He Shi Yanei couldn't clean either, he just saw that the gentry did not discuss with others, and only looked for Shi Yanei, which showed that Shi Yanei had known about this.

Shi Chuan... Well, Shi Chuan is not clean. He privately stored refugees and opened a workshop. Fang Juren did the same and then had an accident in his village. Shi Chuan must be involved, so he lends people to Meng County Magistrate to avoid Fang Juren's rush to attack the Fucheng - once Fang Juren attacks the Fucheng, the matter will be a big deal.
