A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the Fengqiu County Yamen, Lu Jie sat at the head of the office, and Feng Yaozu could only accompany him on the side.

"Lü Zhiza, Yushi Wu is here."

Lu Hui raised his head and said, "Let him come in."

Feng Yaozu took a deep breath and felt that the grievances of the past were all gone.

Wu Zheng was tossing around in Fengqiu County, making him miserable. Moreover, this person refused to take soft and hard measures, and was very hard-pressed.

Now that Lu Zhiza from your Yushitai is here, can you still play sesame?

Wu Zheng came in and after saluting, Lu Jie said: "Let you wait to come to the place to supervise, but not torment. It is not the intention of the court to make the place miserable. Now Fengqiu County has brought complaints to the court. You can't do this, go back with me."

Sending censors was an important part of the New Deal. Lu Hui had been watching with cold eyes. Now that he saw Wu Zheng hit a wall, he was in a good mood.

Is this the New Deal you insist on?

Just a joke.

Ha ha ha ha!

He was in a happy mood, and immediately stood up and handed over his hands, "Zhixian Feng, the Yushitai will naturally be replaced by another person when we return. Please forgive me."

How could he bow to a low-level official like Feng Yaozu in the past? Today, he is just trying to defeat the New Deal by bowing to Feng Yaozu.

Look at the good deeds you have done. In order to wipe your butts, Lu has no choice but to bow to a county magistrate.

Feng Yaozu only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he felt as refreshed as riding the wind back home.

What is the joy of life?

Watch your opponent bow his head!

That's it now.

He smiled and said, "Lu Zhiza is too polite."

If he wins this battle, he will become famous all over the world.

Wu Zheng felt uncomfortable, and he touched the bulge on his chest.

That was a booklet given by Shen An, saying it could slap Lu Hui in the face.

He was too confused to pay attention before, but now he remembered.

What is it?

He took out the book, and Lu Hui was already walking down there.

Wu Zheng opened the booklet, looked at the records, and couldn't help but read them out.

"In March of the second year of Zhiping, Fengqiu gentry Yang Jing invited Feng Yaozu to drink and play with women. Later, Yang Jing's occupation of more than 300 acres of fertile land was suppressed..."

Lu Hui, who was walking down, was startled, "What?"

Feng Yaozu, who was about to send Lu Jie out, was stunned, and then thought about it carefully, but he didn't remember it.

Wu Zheng only felt his heartbeat speeding up and ecstasy surging.

"In March of the second year of Zhiping, someone reported that there was a heavy rain in Honglian Village and more than 20 houses collapsed in the village. Feng Yaozu immediately..."

Wu Zheng raised his head, with anger in his eyes.

What to do?

Go to the scene to check on disaster relief?

"Feng Yaozu traveled with a female prostitute, accompanied by five local gentry."

After serving as officials for a long time, the common people become just a number in their hearts, roughly the same as ants.

Lu Hui stopped.

Feng Yaozu remembered this matter.

At that time, he wanted to go down to check, but the local gentry invited him to drink and play with women. In the end, he decided to go to Xiaosa first and go down the next day.

Just such a delay...

"That night, more than ten houses collapsed again, killing three people."

Under the heavy rain, people could only hide in dilapidated homes.

When a house collapses, it's too late to react.

Lu Jie couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked at Wu Zheng with unfamiliar eyes.

Was this person actually prepared?

A certain person took the initiative to take him back, but he was afraid that he had come by mistake.

"In May of the third year of Zhiping, Feng Yaozu accepted a banquet hosted by local gentry Wang Chang and others, where they had food, drink and fun. Later, Wang Chang and others collected loans and destroyed twelve families."

Usury ruined the family, but many of the methods were criticized.

If you don’t have official support, you can easily be dealt with.

Therefore, most people who are powerful loan sharks are in collusion with the government.

Lu Hui's face turned red.

Wu Zheng glanced at him and continued to flip through the book.

"In May of the third year of Zhiping, Feng Yaozu traveled eleven times, all of which were paid for by local gentry, including two singers who were bought for him."

This is hidden bribery.

"June of the third year of Zhiping..."

Wu Zheng raised his head and said, "Eight villages in Fengqiu suffered from drought. Feng Yaozu only went to two of them, and then returned to the city to hold a poetry meeting. The gentry gathered, and the seats were full of talented people..."

Wu Zheng became more and more angry. He really couldn't help it. "While they were singing poems and singing, while they were full of friends, those people were crying! Where was Feng Yaozu at that time? He was holding women in his arms to accept the love of those people. Praising and being complacent!”

"This..." Lu Jie looked at Feng Yaozu. He wanted to see Feng Yaozu's refutation.

Feng Yaozu turned pale and said, "It's nonsense, it's all nonsense..."

Did you really refute it?

Lu Hui felt a little at ease.

Wu Zheng was startled and immediately chose to believe Shen An.

"In June of the third year of Zhiping, the gentry Liu Tian hosted a banquet for Feng Yaozu with great fanfare. Later, Liu Tian used his friendship with Feng Yaozu as capital, and then took over the quota of two elders and plundered them wildly."

Li Zheng was the most basic ruler of the Song Dynasty. They were in charge of taxation and labor within a mile of land, and they could be said to decide life or death with a single word.

The elders went a step further and were in charge of the large and small affairs of a township. In later generations, they would probably be the township chiefs.

But in the Song Dynasty, the elders and Li Zheng were not organized. It seems aggrieved to have no system, but there is also an advantage, that is, the operability is too powerful.

As long as you have a good relationship with state and county officials, you have the final say over a township.

These people can be called earth emperors!

Is that so?

Lu Hui was dubious.

But Feng Yaozu's expression changed drastically and he said: "You...you..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Lu Jie's heart tightened and asked: "But is it the truth?"

Wu Zheng looked at him, remembering his previous indifference, and remembering Tang Jie and Han Qi's complaints, and couldn't help but blush.

"Lv Zhiza, what is the truth?" Wu Zheng choked and said, "I only want to do things for the people and the government, but why do I find problems and no one cares about them? Why? Not only do you ignore them, but you also suppress them. Why did you do those shameful things?"

Lu Hui is here, and all the officials from the county are here today to welcome him.

At this moment, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw Wu Zheng firing at Lu Jie.

Lu Jie is the deputy of the Yushitai, and you, Wu Zheng, are just the new Yushitai. How dare you roar at your superior?

The key is that he directly exposed the faces of Lu Hui and others and made the matter public.

It’s taboo for His Majesty!

Now this venerable man is being embarrassed by his subordinates.

Lu Hui said in embarrassment: "I asked you the truth."

Wu Zheng looked at Feng Yaozu who was sweating profusely and said, "You should ask Magistrate Feng."

Feng Yaozu looked like he was getting angry at the top of his head.

White steam steamed up, looking like a fairy.

But underneath the white air was a worried face.

"This matter... many people are like this too."

Feng Yaozu finally found an excuse to refute, and said plausibly: "There are countless officials like Feng in the world. Why are you staring at Feng?"

This is the unspoken rule.

"But this is dereliction of duty, this is corruption, and this is illegal!"

Wu Zheng roared: "What is it to seek personal gain for others? Do you, Feng Yaozu, think this is a serious matter? Do you think that such an act should not be punished? Then in this world..."

He slowly turned around and looked at everyone, and said firmly: "Can this kind of behavior be carried out in the world? Even if Wu is dead, he will not back down. If no one deals with Feng Yaozu, he will go to the imperial city... "

He shouted with all his strength: "Someone will go knock on the que!"

This is one man's war!

He faced countless gray areas and chose to move forward.

The officials bowed their heads.

This is the battlefield for the bosses, and they will only become cannon fodder if they go up there.

Most people don't take it seriously, which shows the huge impact of this unspoken rule. A small number of officials felt sorry for him, but they felt that Wu Zheng was just a fly shaking a tree, and he was not overestimating his own abilities.

But Feng Yaozu was afraid that he was going to die.

But another question came to mind: How did Wu Zheng collect this evidence?

No one will collect this kind of evidence, and it is not easy to collect, because as soon as you go to inquire about the information, it will immediately trigger local vigilance. The gentry will join forces to resist your investigation, and will communicate with the local officials in time to work together. You take it away.

This was how Wu Zheng was dealt with originally.

But he found evidence of Feng Yaozu's dereliction of duty and reversed the situation in an instant.

Look at Lu Hui, his face is as dark as ink.

"Zhixian Feng, is this true?"

Every official has some of these things. If we really pursue them, the world will be uneasy. This is the main reason why Tang Jie and Fu Bi chose to retreat.

But Wu Zheng still took action.

Lu Hui looked at Feng Yaozu with cold eyes.

He judged that he didn't run away.

The steam above Feng Yaozu's head became thicker and thicker, looking like a steamer.

Big drops of sweat were all over his face, flowing down, and his chest was gradually soaked.

He said in a trembling voice: "Lu Zhiza, this matter...this matter..."

Needless to say, this is true.

Lu Hui was annoyed and said, "Just wait for Lu's impeachment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jie felt something was wrong.

Wrong!

It was Wu Zheng who found out about this matter. If Feng Yaozu is to be impeached, it should be Wu Zheng who impeaches him. Your impeachment by Lu Jie is more like grabbing credit.

He snorted coldly, "That's all, I won't care about this anymore."

Feng Yaozu looked at him desperately, and suddenly said excitedly: "Lu Zhiza, how did Wu Zheng find out so many things? I think this is a conspiracy, yes, this matter is a conspiracy."

Lu Jie shuddered slightly and looked at Wu Zheng.

This is Feng Yaozu's desperate means to survive.

We are all in the same group, and someone is messing with me!

Lu Zhiza, if they mess with me today, they will mess with you tomorrow if they don’t know what to do. What are you waiting for? Everyone joined forces to fight them.

This is also the sentiment of some opponents of the New Deal.

When their interests are touched, they will have such ideas, and then they will form a group and fight to the death against the New Deal, and will not give up until the New Deal is brought down.

So when Sima Guang went all the way from Luoyang to Bianliang, the world would be shocked.

Historical records record that wherever Sima Guang passed, the 'sergeants' cheered and the 'common people' jumped for joy...

The entire Song Dynasty was "rejoicing", rejoicing that Sima Guang came out of the mountain, and felt that the Song Dynasty was saved.

I don’t know how many of these rejoicing people have vested interests.

The New Deal collapsed, and the opposition became the victors. History is written by the victors, and Sima Guang's posture like the return of the king came from their pen.

Lu Jie looked at Wu Zheng and asked in a deep voice, "Who is helping you?"

Wu Zheng wanted to shake his head, but felt that this was not fair enough.

Just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly came to report from outside.

"Magistrate, there is someone outside who calls himself Shen An. He said that he has been in Fengqiu for a few days and saw that the scenery here is good, but there are dark clouds in the sky, and he is afraid that there are evil spirits at work. Today he saw that the dark clouds are gradually dispersing, and there must be someone inside to collect the evil spirits. , he wanted to ask that man, would you like to sell him a monster for ten cents?"

Wu Zheng burst into tears in an instant, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net choked with sobs and said: "My Lord...how can I thank you!"

Shen An was worried that he would not be able to deal with Lu Jie, so he came to support him.

Feng Yaozu staggered back and shouted: "It's Shen An, he's here..."

Fengqiu is right next to Bianliang, and everyone knows Shen An's tricks in recent years.

He said that he had been in Fengqiu for a few days, and now he appeared outside the county government office, claiming that someone was recruiting monsters.

Everything is clear.

It was Shen An who took action to find out the details of Feng Yaozu.

It is said that the scouts of the Mangshan Army are unrivaled in the world. It is not easy to find out the scandal of a magistrate.

Feng Yaozu was desperate.

Lu Hui said subconsciously: "I still have something to do, so I will go back to Beijing."

As soon as he took a few steps, he remembered that Shen An was blocking the outside. He was afraid that he would ridicule him if he went out, so he said, "Is there a toilet?"

The officials were dumbfounded and did not respond. Lu Jie stamped his feet and went back. Later, news came.

"Zhixian, Lu Zhiza ran away from behind."

Damn it!

Lu Hui was scared away by Shen An?

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Feng Yaozu was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone knew that this man was completely finished.

Wu Zheng slowly turned around and looked at the sunshine outside, as if he was in another world.
