Please ask me to be the emperor

People say that he is "old and cunning", but Zhang Shun only said that he had expected how cunning the old mountain leader was. How could he have imagined that just to increase his own value, he would actually act like it was real for a long time in front of him.

Fortunately, his disciple "Tangzhang" Huang Deqing "broken the pattern" and exposed his true colors.

However, Zhang Shun had no intention of pursuing the matter. The way to employ people is to make them good and avoid their shortcomings. Although this person is cunning and cunning, fortunately he has not done anything excessive.

What's more, this person is also the mountain leader of these more than 70 students. If he is beaten and killed because of such a trivial matter, he will lose the hearts of these talented people. What's more, this person has been old and frail for a long time, and may kick off his legs one day. Why should I be such a bad person?

After thinking about this, Zhang smiled and said: "In that case, I still have Lao Deqing to write a few documents for me and deliver them to Fucheng."

It is said to be a document, but in fact this is a semi-public and semi-private affair, and it is not suitable for public discussion.

Therefore, Zuo Lengchan took out these three official documents and asked Huang Deqing to imitate and write three letters.

Zhang Shun personally compared the handwriting and found that it was eighty-nine points similar. Without a special comparison, even an acquaintance would have difficulty distinguishing the difference between the two.

In particular, they are not only similar in appearance, but also very similar in spirit. Three letters, three font styles, very impressive.

Since it was written on the spot, Zhang Shun checked it personally and found no hidden words in it, so he felt relieved.

This letter already exists, and it is easy to find the tens of thousands of letters of petition and the people who came to offer their wishes. Zhao Lizi was originally from Mengjin, and Huang Shoucai was very prestigious in Yanshi, so the matter was left to Zhao Lizi to handle.

It is said that Sun Tuifu has always adhered to the principle of "laws and punishments, not to be used arbitrarily, only superiority and profit" since he became the official.

He is a tactful person and always likes to be "harmony". Whenever someone submits a complaint, he will easily get into trouble.

At the beginning, Governor Fan Shangxuan asked him to capture the "River God" Huang Shoucai and punish him for the serious crime of "colluding with bandits and causing harm to all the prefectures in Henan".

He weighed the pros and cons and thought to himself: If you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management. What's more, Governor Fan Shangxuan is both an official and an official. How can I ruin his face? Although Huang Shoucai has a great reputation, he does not have much strength. But once he falls into my hands, I will have no choice but to manipulate him.

After weighing the two sides, Sun Tuiguan boarded Governor Fan Shangxuan's pirate ship. While ordering the arrest of Huang Shoucai, the "River God", he sent people to find evidence of Huang Shoucai's crime.

It can be said that Huang Shoucai's hands and feet were clean. Although many boats were abandoned in the river, no direct evidence was found.

Sun Tui's Mansion sent people to Yanshi to capture fisherman Zhouzi for questioning. They all said, "The weather suddenly changed a few days ago and the wind was freezing. Unexpectedly, the boat was blown away. It has never been found. Unexpectedly, it is here. Thank you, Mr. Guan, for your help." Get it back!”

Sun Tuifu knew that this was nonsense, and of course those fishermen and boatmen also knew that this was nonsense. But "River God" Huang Shoucai was too famous after all, unlike ordinary people who could just find a way to beat him up.

If he were to catch him, he might not have eaten the mutton, but he would be in trouble.

Finally, Sun Tui's house caught the man and found a piece of official silver that could be used as evidence. As a result, Governor Fan Shangxuan was dismissed from his post and investigated, and Sun Tui's house was almost in tears.

I was so busy that I offended people in vain, but the mastermind fell down. What should I do?

If you don't want to do anything, you might as well chop Huang Shoucai into pieces. Sun Tuiguan doesn't have the guts.

Nowadays, rogue bandits are everywhere, not to mention whether the rogue bandits will come to cause trouble for themselves in the name of revenge for "River God" Huang Shoucai. Even if he accidentally forced those fishermen Zhouzi who had been favored by Huang Shoucai to rebel, he would not be able to reap the benefits.

There was no other way, so the Sun Tui Mansion had no choice but to lock Huang Shoucai in prison and serve him food and drink, for fear that something might go wrong. But he didn't dare to let him out, and for a while he didn't know what to do.

On this day, he asked the maid at home to fan himself to get rid of the heat, but he had a headache at the same time.

Suddenly he heard the servant coming to report that two or three messengers had come outside, bringing letters from the magistrate below.

Sun Tui's Mansion only asked which county magistrate asked him for personal matters, so he ordered them to come in. When the three men presented the letter, Sun Tui's house opened it and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turns out that this is exactly the letter from the magistrate of Mengjin County. It says: Huang Shoucai has made great achievements in regulating the river and saved the lives of thousands of people. He is not an official, but better than an official. Not to mention that this person has no motive for rebellion. Even if he has, a small punishment or a big warning will be enough. Otherwise, if the Yellow River bursts its banks next time, who should be found to regulate the Yellow River?

I opened another letter, but it was a letter from the magistrate of Yanshi County. It said: Relying on the mountains, you can rely on the mountains, and relying on the water, you can rely on the water. On both sides of the Yellow River, there have always been people who fished and crossed the river, and Huang Shoucai was well-known among them.

If Sun Tuiguan wants to build a large prison, he needs to mobilize troops and horses to guard against changes. If you only have a grudge against Huang Shoucai, you can just slap him and vent your anger. Why bother forcing these people to jump over the wall?

The last letter was from the magistrate of Gong County, and the general meaning was similar. However, the magistrate of Gongxian County specifically mentioned that Huang Shoucai had made great achievements in river management and had a good reputation. Now that the people of the three counties heard that Huang Shoucai had been arrested, they wanted to write tens of thousands of words, asking Sun Tuiguan to rule Huang Shoucai not guilty in time.

Officials from the three places persuaded, threatened, or made suggestions, but at the same time they told him that Huang Shoucai could not move.

To be honest, the magistrate of the three counties was unknown before, but now he suddenly interceded for Huang Shoucai. I have to say that it is actually very strange.

But Sun Tuiguan didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he thought it would be strange if it wasn't like this. It was obvious that someone wanted to protect Huang Shoucai at this time, so he deliberately contacted the officials and gentry to plead for mercy.

Sun Tuiguan suspected that the driving force behind the incident was none other than Xuan Mo, the new governor of Henan.

It wasn't that he doubted that Xuan Mo had any friendship with Huang Shoucai, but the governor's target was probably him.

The new governor was probably dissatisfied with Fan Shangxuan, the governor in front of him, and deliberately used this incident to test his attitude.

Especially now that "rogue bandits" are rampant in southern Shaanxi and western Henan, it is estimated that the new governor does not want to cause unnecessary turmoil because of his arrest of "River God" Huang Shoucai, so he takes the opportunity to beat himself up.

Thinking of this, Sun Tuiguan already had the intention of compromising and retreating. He then shouted: "Come here, prepare your carriages and horses, I'm going to pay homage to the prefect!"

He has already figured it out. This matter is difficult to handle but easy to handle. All he had to do was wait until the petitioner fisherman Zhouzi and the gentry came over, and then blame all these things on the former governor Fan Shangxuan. Could Fan Shangxuan still come over and argue with him?
