This is called meeting on a narrow road, the brave one wins, whoever gets cold feet first becomes the dog!
Through this suspension of receipt, Qin Dewei could see that Governor Sheng, who was accustomed to being pampered at the top, lacked tenacity and ruthlessness.
This is what he has been waiting for, so now he can start taking preemptive strikes!
Although Qin Dewei is not sure who is colluding with Governor Sheng Duanming of Yingtian, and there must be strong insiders in Nanjing, it is enough to know that Governor Sheng is the only one who shows his face.
Qin Dewei's idea is very simple and crude. You can come in any way, but I will only go all the way. I will cripple Governor Sheng and the others will naturally be exposed.
At that time, even if others can hold back, Governor Sheng will take the initiative to expose it in order to protect himself!
In fact, it was not a mistake to let Governor Sheng stand in front of the stage. The main reason was that no one else could have imagined that a single soldier could cripple the governor.
After making up his mind, Qin Dewei told the officer at the county government gate: "Continue to leave tomorrow! That's right!"
The yamen servant asked doubtfully: "Didn't the Fuyuan side suspend the collection of petitions?"
Qin Dewei added: "Whether the Fuyuan accepts it or not, as long as you go to the governor's office with a petition, you will be given a subsidy! Let me tell you, the subsidy is only for the last three days!"
Then Qin Dewei turned around and entered the county government office, had a secret talk with the county magistrate Shen for a while, and then arranged for his attendant Zhao Si to do things.
After coming out of the county government, Qin Dewei went to the county school. Today happened to be a day to go back to school, and many students went back to the county to study and socialize.
As soon as Qin Dewei stepped through the gate, he saw several old students dragging Gao Changjiang, who was struggling desperately, towards the side corner of Minglun Hall.
Wucao! Qin Dewei shouted quickly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! What's wrong?"
The old student said angrily: "A while ago, everyone went to Jurong to take the posthumous examination, and only Gao Changjiang passed it! He actually showed off to us!"
Qin Dewei said calmly: "Isn't this title just a matter of a word from the Grand Master?"
What else did the old man want to say, and Qin Dewei said: "According to the emperor's approval, I have to go to the great master every month to listen to the instructions.
I am planning to go to Jurong tomorrow to meet the great master, do you want to go with me?"
Swish, swish, swish! There were more than a dozen people around Qin Dewei in an instant, all asking: "Is this true?"
Qin Dewei smiled and said: "You can go if you want, but there are too many of you, so I don't dare to make any guarantees!"
All the scholars then shouted: "Let's go together! Let's just think of it as a youthful trip to the east!"
Qin Dewei quickly said: "Just the twenty of you are enough, don't be too many!"
Then he thought about it and made a suggestion: "It's not peaceful outside Nanjing now. If you have a strong servant at home, it's best to bring him with you."
The scholars were puzzled. Why did they bring so many strong servants to Jurong for a spring outing and to meet the great master?
That's where the two big guys, the governor and the school inspector, are stationed. I haven't heard of any security issues? Is it possible that there are going to be fights?
An old student joked: "I heard that Brother Qin and Fuyuan are having a war. Could it be that they want to lead us to besiege the palace?"
Qin Dewei nodded seriously and said: "Yes, that's what I have in mind. I will attack Xingyuan and capture the evil governor! If you are afraid of death, don't go!"
Everyone laughed together, Qin Dewei was really funny when he was funny.
Someone else said with great concern: "Brother Qin! There have been a lot of rumors about you recently. Today, your revelations appeared on the streets again. Seeing as the situation is getting worse, don't you want to think of something to do?"
Qin Dewei waved his hand and said, "Let the rumors spread for a while longer!"
The next day, all the scholars gathered outside the county school gate. Qin Dewei very considerately found a big car and made unified arrangements for the trip.
After all, there are so many people, and if they are not arranged in a unified way, they can easily get separated after hundreds of miles.
After the ten cars were full, Qin Dewei stopped waiting and sat in the lead car himself and ordered: "Let's go!"
The motorcade left the city gate and headed east along the road. Many other vehicles were seen along the way, but no one was surprised.
Firstly, it is spring, and there are usually many people traveling in this season. Secondly, as everyone knows, in recent days, the governor has intervened in the judicial affairs of Jiangning County, and many people have gone to Jurong to file complaints.
After wandering for an unknown amount of time, I just entered Jurong County when I suddenly saw seven or eight cars blocked in front of me and about twenty old men blocked on the roadside.
An officer and several soldiers shouted to the old men: "The Prime Minister has issued an order to suspend the collection of complaints. No more complaints are allowed to be filed in Jurong today!"
Qin Dewei looked over and saw, wasn't this the Cao Qianhu he had seen before? It turned out that Governor Sheng had set up a forward station to intercept people who complained.
He jumped out of the car and said to Cao Qianhu: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Cao is still as charming as ever! But have you offended Dazhong Cheng? He actually sent you here far away to do this thankless job.
?”
Cao Qianhu: ""
Before Cao Qianhu could think of what to say, a county official suddenly rushed over from Qin Dewei and hit the soldiers with a stick.
Immediately, the situation was tense. Cao Qianhu shouted calmly: "Stop!" and said to Qin Dewei: "What are you going to do!"
Qin Dewei pointed behind him and said with a simple and rude threat: "Seeing that the folks in this county were blocked from complaining, we scholars were filled with indignation and wanted to remove the obstacles for the folks.
Look at how many of us there are, and look at how many of you there are, Mr. Cao, I advise you to take care of yourself and don’t force me to take action."
Cao Qianhu was in a dilemma. It was absolutely impossible to take action. There were too many people on the other side. Moreover, there were also a group of scholars. It was a hornet's nest and there was no way to fight.
Qin Dewei made another suggestion: "I think, Mr. Cao, it is best for you to go back quickly and report the situation to Dazhong Cheng."
Cao Qianhu looked at the comparison of the forces between the two sides again, and acted decisively. He ordered the soldiers: "You will continue to intercept here and are not allowed to retreat until I go back to report for help!"
Then he got on his horse and returned to Jurong in a hurry.
At this time, Governor Sheng was communicating with guests from Nanjing. Regarding the current predicament, the guests suggested: "Dazhong Cheng, give Jiangning County an order to reopen the execution hall!
But don’t cancel the receipt of the petition here, it means that both sides can decide the case, and the people can go to whichever side they want!"
Governor Sheng had not thought about this method, which could reduce the pressure without losing dignity, but he asked doubtfully: "Is Jiangning County willing to obey the order?"
If Jiangning County, where Qin Dewei is entrenched, was willing to listen to him, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!
The guest added: "You can ask the bosses in the city to come forward and put pressure on Jiangning County together. After all, this farce is tormenting the people, and it is normal for the bosses to pity the people and not be able to see it!"
Governor Sheng had no objection. It would be better if someone in Nanjing could help put pressure on him.
When Governor Sheng saw off the guests at Yimen, he saw Cao Qianhu rushing in out of breath.
Dazhong Cheng yelled and scolded: "You bastard! Didn't I send you to the county boundary to set up a roadblock to block the petitioners? Why did you come back without permission!"
Cao Qianhu quickly replied: "Something big has happened! Then Qin Dewei personally took some government officials and some scholars to cover the complaining crowd and attack the pass!
I and a few other people tried their best, but the other party was so outnumbered that they couldn't stop it, so they had no choice but to come back quickly to report!"
Governor Sheng was furious. He was so deceitful! Do you really think that the governor is just made up of paper? Do you really think that he is a coward by suspending the collection of cases?
