Chapter 143

Gao Zhizhou said, "it's against, it's against the order of the state capital."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "this is a violation of your private order to extort money from gaozhizhou."

This time, he was really angry with the other party. Did the other party dare to say that he was a place of extortion? This is an extremely severe accusation. If it gets out, his reputation will be ruined. As soon as he clapped his eyes, he said, "well, you can stay here for three days, and you'll know in three days."

Zhou Wentong is a member of the system. He knows many bad things inside everyone. If you quarrel here, you can't pull one out for a long time. Therefore, just detain him here. As long as you get the writing of the Ministry of officials and the driving post of the Ministry of punishment again three days later, you can pick up his official clothes and do whatever you want.

Zhou Wentong said to him, "Lord Gao, you are imprisoned. But you understand that now the lower official is presiding over the relief of refugees in Jimo. Tens of thousands of refugees are crying for food. Once no one presides over it, it will be chaotic."

With a sneer, Gao Zhizhou said, "you really think you're the same thing." then he ordered the left and right to detain him in the back hall of the state capital and forbid him to go in and out.

After all, the other party is now a seven grade official. If he is directly detained in his cell, it is inappropriate.

Zhou Wentong didn't care. He followed the Yamen to the back hall. In the back hall, he saw Ma Xiaoxiang. When Ma Xiaoxiang saw each other, his eyes were angry. He said, "what you did." as long as he thought about the grievances and humiliations he suffered yesterday, he wanted to cry angrily.

Zhou Wentong was pretending to be a fool. He said, "what does Lord Ma mean by this?"

Ma Xiaoxiang said to him, "you are still quibbling. When your official clothes are gone, I'll let you know the power of my official."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "Lord Ma, what happened yesterday? I'm still confused now?"

Ma Xiaoxiang was completely annoyed by the other party. Yesterday's humiliation was an unprecedented humiliation in his life. He didn't want to mention it. The other party now asked him to tell it again and again. As a well-known figure in the state capital, did he still publicize that he was robbed yesterday, leaving only a pair of underpants and wandering outside for a day?

Ma Xiaoxiang gnashed his teeth and said, "Zhou Wentong, I am at odds with you."

They originally wanted to detain Zhou Wentong. As long as they detain him for three days, as soon as the imperial court's driving sticker arrives, they can detain him and strip off the official. At that time, they can fight and scold if they want.

What they think is beautiful, but the fact is that they don't cooperate so well.

That is, the next morning, when he had just got up, the housekeeper hurried to him and told him, "my Lord is bad. Something big has happened."

Height, the first thing he got up every day was to read books and cultivate his temperament. When he saw the housekeeper so panicked, he said, "what's the matter?"

The housekeeper said to him, "just now Lord Wu, the city guard, sent someone to say that tens of thousands of refugees are surrounded outside the city. They want to break into the city and eat."

Gao he was surprised and said, "tens of thousands of vagrants? Where are so many people? Don't you tell you how to operate? Let them go to Fushan and let them go to Jimo."

The housekeeper said, "we have said so, but the other party didn't listen. They came from Jimo. They said that the county magistrate Lord Zhou was killed by a traitor and detained in the state capital. Now there is no host in Jimo and no disaster relief. They came here to complain for Lord Zhou."

He was so angry that he said, "what's the harm of a traitor? I wronged him?" Zhou Wentong's bad work.

The housekeeper said with embarrassment, "these are what those bold refugees said. They are surrounded here to hand over Lord Zhou. If they don't hand over Lord Zhou, they won't go."

He was more angry. He said, "it's better than Zhou Wentong. He dared to play this move. He's looking for death."

Gao was very angry: "let someone find Zhou Wentong right away." soon Zhou Wentong asked someone to bring him. Gao said: "do you think you will give in to this move?"

Zhou Wentong said to him, "I don't know what the magistrate is talking about, but I can tell you. There are tens of thousands of people waiting to eat outside. If adults don't solve the problem of refugees eating, I'm afraid the black yarn on adults' heads will be difficult to protect."

Highly angry, he said, "how dare you threaten me with this move?"

Zhou Wentong said: "it's not a threat. The Liu family in Fushan saw that the officials were helping refugees, so they entrusted the officials to be responsible for helping the refugees. If the officials didn't preside over their affairs, they wouldn't set aside a share of money and food. Tens of thousands of people have no food to eat, they will come to you for trouble. You think about it, sir. It's easy to arouse popular change."

They don't have any cards in their hands now, so they decided to play at the Liu family in Fushan to let the people eat big families, but the other party won't be stupid. Now they put the responsibility back to him.

Gao said to him, "you are so brave, but you know that your style is to arouse taboos in officialdom, which is to oppose the officialdom of the whole Laizhou government."

This is an obvious threat, an open threat, but Zhou Wentong pretended that he couldn't hear and understand. He said: "people can overturn and carry boats for water.

He had a headache. He went out and discussed with Ma Xiaoxiang. They took a look outside the city wall. Their scalp was numb. They only saw countless refugees coming one after another. They surrounded the city gate and said they wanted to release Lord Zhou. If they didn't, they wouldn't go, and some people kept coming. If they didn't meet their requirements, It will easily lead to civil unrest.

They all know that in fact, it is quite easy to deal with these refugees, that is, just give money and food, but who will take out so much money and food, isn't it against money?

Some families in Jiaozhou prefecture have set up porridge sheds for disaster relief, but this time it's all a small-scale scene. How can they afford this scene of tens of thousands of people? Now they hear that there are so many refugees outside, they all close the porridge sheds one after another, for fear that the refugees will eat them down and make them poor.

Facing this situation, he had to go back and tell Gao Zhizhou. He said, "there's no other way to put Zhou Wentong back."

The manager said, "yes! It's easy to stir up popular uprisings."

Now officials are most afraid that they will provoke a popular uprising.

However, Gao Gao was worried again. He said, "what should we do if we release Zhou Wentong now and the above orders come? And Lord Wu, the garrison in Jiaozhou City, told him to send troops quickly to drive away these refugees“

The housekeeper said, "I went to see Lord Wu early in the morning, but Lord Wu is ill in bed and can't take care of things."

He knew that the other party was so-called sick in bed and couldn't take care of things. In fact, he was just an excuse for fear of letting him lead troops to catch people. He was very good, but the other party wouldn't listen, so he had no choice but to say, "let Zhou Wentong go first?"

He saw that Zhou Wentong was released step by step to solve the immediate crisis. As for the imperial court's invitation to drive again, he delayed for a while. Now Zhou Wentong has brought tens of thousands of refugees. These refugees listen to him and have no choice but to do nothing.

Ma Xiaoxiang let Zhou Wentong go when he saw this. He was very unconvinced. He said, "once the other party goes back, the next time the official department writes, it's not easy to take him."

Gao he said: "it is not easy for the writing of the Ministry of officials to come. At the beginning, it was the Wang family who sued them, and everyone came together. Now even the Wang family said for them, it is estimated that it will be nothing."

Ma Xiaoxiang was basically stunned. He said, "he made such a big thing that he could let it go."

Gao he also sighed: "what a Zhou Wentong, what a cunning means."

Liu Bu and his party are not far away from the city. They also organized and arranged tens of thousands of refugees to Jiaozhou City today. They know that so many refugees here are enough to put great pressure on them. He has no choice but to release them. If he refuses to release them, he will directly lead the refugees to make trouble, which is called provoking civil unrest, which is what officials fear most, It's estimated that no matter how brave he is, he doesn't dare to mess around like this.

Zheng zining said, "you can still do this. Are you not afraid to defend the official face and resolutely refuse to let people go?"

Liu Bu said: "It's impossible for them not to release people for the sake of official face. Even if they have official face, I can give them pressure through the government. Don't they say they want to go to the Liu family to eat big families? When the Liu family opens its warehouse and opens its grain, I will announce to the public that everything is left to Zhou Wentong, who will be responsible for disaster relief. If Zhou Wentong is not here, I won't release grain. These victims will have no food to eat at that time It's possible to burn the prefecture governor. If they want to use me, I can use them. "

Liu Kang flattered him and said, "young master, you are really crafty. Let him be as crafty as a ghost and drink your foot washing water.

Liu Bu didn't like to hear this. He said, "what nonsense? What's treacherous?" especially when he saw Zheng zining standing next to him laughing, he felt a little embarrassed and humiliated. It seemed that I was a conspirator and a big villain.

Liu Kang quickly changed his words. He said, "with this small mouth, what the villain wants to say is that the adult is resourceful and strategizing, winning thousands of miles away."

Liu Bu narrowed her eyes and said, "since these officials want to make it difficult for our Liu family, we Liu family can also drag them into the water to make it difficult for everyone."

At this time, a fast horse came. Liu Bu recognized that he was a spy under Zhou Hui. It was strange to see him. He said, "what's the matter?

The detective came here on a fast horse. When he saw Liu Bu, he immediately turned over and dismounted and said, "Lord Zhou has an urgent report. He needs to report it to adults immediately. It's 800 Li urgent."

Liu Bu was surprised. The so-called 800 mile rush was used by the imperial court to deliver emergency orders. They Liu's family here, but there was no 800 mile rush. He opened the letter and said, "his father had an accident."
