Chapter 404: Persuading people to go into the water from Liangla
If the encirclement and suppression of Qin Dewei and Yuanfeng this time was a big project, Luo Heng, who came from the Western Shang Dynasty, could barely be regarded as a project leader.
Rich Man Luo didn't understand what Wang Zhengze and Liu Dashima were afraid of. Even if they suffered a small setback, it was only a temporary phenomenon!
The imperial court's advantage in the capital was not weaker than that of Qin Dewei, and it was an overwhelming advantage in Nanjing. What reason was there for losing?
Finally, the rich man Luo Hengluo said to Liu Da Sima: "Whether Qin Dewei is a weakling or not, you will know if you look at his movements today!
With Qin Dewei's character of retribution, if he still has a back-up plan, he will definitely have a very lethal counterattack today!
If there is not much movement today, or it is just scratching the surface, then it can probably be judged as the end of the war."
Liu Shangshu thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he agreed: "Then let's see it for another day."
On this day, Yuanfeng Hao Bank made a blacklist of shops that participated in the protest and called for closure and made it public.
On this day, outside the county government gate, the one-hundred-wen complaint subsidy was stopped, and the carriages that sent people to Jurong for free were also gone.
Those who came to take advantage of the subsidy didn't care, and at most they left disappointed, but those who really had something to complain about suddenly started to complain.
On this day, a group of government officials came to the gate of Xin'an Guild Hall and threatened and cursed in various ways.
On this day, Nanjing's Minister of War and Counselor Liu Long invited all the ministries in Nanjing to come over to discuss how to resolve the political crisis.
But on this day, there was no news about Qin Dewei himself in Nanjing, and no one even showed up.
If most people in Nanjing can still wait and see for a day or two, then Yingtian Governor Sheng Duanming in Jurong has fallen into unprecedented anxiety.
He began to regret that he was deeply involved in this matter just for some money and the request of his fellow villagers.
Who could have imagined that a governor bullying a junior member would be in danger of ruining his reputation?
While Governor Sheng was having urgent discussions with his staff, someone suddenly came to send a message. Master He, the great master who was also in Jurong, asked him to come over.
Governor Sheng was furious when he heard this. Although the governor and the academic officer belonged to different systems and their work was independent of each other, the status of the governor was still higher after all!
It is extremely rude for you to ask the governor to visit you instead of visiting the academic officer because he has something to do!
But the staff advised: "I heard that Inspector He has always been upright and polite, and never looked down on others. In such an extraordinary period, there must be a deep meaning in doing such an extraordinary move!
And at this time, it is normal for other officials to keep a respectful distance from Mr. Ming, and it is not a deliberate insult, so I think He Tixue probably has some special circumstances."
Full of doubts, Governor Sheng traveled in a low-key manner, went out through the back door, and quietly arrived at the Jurong Examination College.
Then the sedan was carried into the gate before Governor Sheng got out of the sedan.
The Imperial Court is at the deepest point. Governor Sheng passed through the examination shed and entered the inner courtyard gate. When he looked up, he saw a young man named Qin who deserved to be cut into pieces standing outside the hall!
Wucao! Governor Sheng's brain exploded instantly. He was about to shout "take it down left and right", but then he remembered that this was not his place.
Governor Sheng turned around and was about to leave. When he turned around, he sent troops to surround all the gates of the examination hall. He only had to wait for the man named Qin to come out...
He Tixue hurriedly came up and shouted: "Dazhong Cheng, wait! Listen to me!"
Then He Tixue pointed at Qin Dewei and said: "This son wanted to meet with Dazhong Cheng, but he was afraid, so he asked me to be a middleman and invited Dazhong Cheng to come over."
He still had to give face to the academic officials. Governor Sheng glared and responded: "This college and this son are incompatible with each other!"
Qin Dewei hid behind He Tixue and said loudly: "I won't say whether I am a grudge or not, but now Dazhong Cheng is about to become an abandoned son. Only I can save you, Dazhong Cheng!"
He Tixue shouted at Qin Dewei: "If you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Dewei argued: "Dazhong Cheng's task is to stand in front of the stage and confront me, but he can't do it well. Instead, he has become a burden. He will definitely be abandoned and become an outcast!"
Governor Sheng couldn't understand how this man named Qin had the shame to say these things. He didn't want to think about it, who had harmed others to such an extent?
Anyway, Governor Sheng really didn't want to talk to Qin Dewei, so he only said to He Tixue: "Such a wolf-hearted person, what good can you do by speaking for him?"
He Tixue smiled bitterly and said: "I am not speaking for him, but I can't bear to see Dazhong Cheng in trouble."
Governor Sheng looked at He Tixue suspiciously. The relationship between supply and demand between a great master, Tixue, and scholars was completely one-sided!
Only scholars can ask for the Grand Master, and the Grand Master can ask for nothing from the Scholars. Under normal circumstances, the Scholars can't give the Grand Master anything at all.
So why did you learn to help like this? Is it because you took the wrong medicine?
To say that Qin Dewei knows the big shots in the DPRK, don't you know He Tixue? As an official, when he reaches the level of superintendent of schools in Nanji, Qin Dewei's help and words are very limited!
Taking advantage of the moment of hesitation, Qin Dewei said seductively: "Dazhong Cheng, do you want me to withdraw the report so that you won't become an outcast?"
But the words "reporting letter" instantly aroused Governor Sheng's anger, and he scolded: "Bah! Saying this to you, a little thief Pizi, is no different from seeking the skin of a tiger! I won't do it!"
He Tixue hurriedly advised: "If you have something to say, say it well."
The dignified governor has his own backbone even in adversity! Governor Sheng said no more, turned around and walked out.
Qin Dewei quickly shouted: "Dazhong Cheng, think twice! If you are not careful, you will really become an outcast in Nanjing officialdom!"
Governor Sheng said contemptuously: "Pretending to make shocking remarks, alarmism! Do you think this hospital is a three-year-old child?"
Qin Dewei responded: "If I ask you to be made a Dazhong Prime Minister on the condition of withdrawing the report, do you think the Nanjing gang will agree? So you will definitely become an outcast!"
What a waste! Governor Sheng, who had already thrown away decades of health care skills, was furious and couldn't help but spit back: "You only run this hospital, what's the use!"
"Then who will be useful if I get rid of him?" Qin Dewei asked abruptly.
"You have the ability to do it..." Governor Sheng just said two words and then fell silent.
At this time, a staff member hurried over and reported to Governor Sheng: "There is an urgent letter! Please read it quickly tomorrow!"
Governor Sheng took it. There was no signature on the letter, but he knew who wrote it.
After a few more glances, it turned out that he was advised to transfer all the cases against Qin Dewei to the Nanjing Criminal Department.
Before Governor Sheng could think of the content of the letter, he heard another annoying cry.
"Dazhong Cheng, is this letter from Nanjing? He must have abandoned you, right? Are you really going to become an abandoned son?"
Initially, Governor Sheng didn't think too much about it, but after being brainwashed by the demonic voice over and over again, the word "abandoned son" kept appearing in his mind, making him suspicious.
Logically speaking, Qin Dewei should not be allowed to know the content of the letter. This is the most basic sense of confidentiality.
But for some reason, Governor Sheng wanted to get ahead of those people in Nanjing and see Qin Dewei's reaction first. Maybe he couldn't completely follow the rhythm of those people in Nanjing.
So he sneered and said, "Someone advised me to forward the case against you to the Nanjing Criminal Department. What do you think?"
Qin Dewei didn't expect Governor Sheng to be so open-minded, so he subconsciously replied: "Of course you will become an outcast in the end."
Damn it! Governor Sheng really wanted to hit someone after hearing this!
But in order to test Qin Dewei, he held back: "It's useless for you to pretend to be stupid! When the case reaches the Nanjing Criminal Department, you won't be able to escape, and you will definitely be taken advantage of!"
Qin Dewei answered truthfully: "If these solved cases go to the Nanjing Criminal Department, what can they do to me?
If you can sue me, Qin Dewei, by seizing family property, bullying the market, etc., then I, Qin Dewei, will be in vain as a primary school student of Jinling!"
He Tixue thought it was really outrageous, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Is it the sentence after the Jinling primary school student?"
Qin Dewei replied respectfully: "The great master is right!"
Governor Sheng was still sneering, "Do you think this is the only part of the case that will be made public? What you are being sued for is not only the robbery of family property, but also the adultery with Gu, but it is just not made public for the time being."
Wucao! Qin Dewei was surprised that the other party had no lower limit! As expected, there are always people who use the relationship between men and women to stigmatize others!
So Qin Dewei sighed again, "Although they failed to sue in the end, it was very hard to hear when the news came out. I had no choice but to compromise with the Ministry of Punishment.
Then I can only put forward conditions and bargain. If the princes are willing to appoint Dazhong Cheng, I will go to the eunuch to withdraw the report.
So what I just said is correct, Dazhong Cheng will still become an outcast in the end."
Governor Sheng: "..."
He finally understood that as long as he didn't cooperate with Qin Dewei today, he would eventually end up becoming an abandoned son.
For me, there may be many routes, but there is only one ending.
After calming down, Governor Sheng fell into deep thought. When he stood in front of the stage, he actually learned a lot of lessons from past mistakes.
Firstly, because the governor has a relatively large scope of authority and also has judicial power, he can theoretically hear cases directly.
Otherwise, if you find a minister outside the Ministry of Justice, even if you have a high status but no judicial power, how can you control Qin Dewei?
Secondly, because Governor Yingtian was not in Nanjing, he maintained a safe distance to prevent the powerful Qin Dewei from stabbing him at close range.
But in the end, everyone still didn't expect that Qin Dewei was so capable of troubleshooting...
Qin Dewei kept urging: "Dazhong Cheng, if you think about it carefully, you and I don't have any deep hatred at all!
I, Qin Dewei, am just a junior official, and you are a dignified governor. Even if you defeat a junior official, what political benefits will you gain?
So you were probably entrusted by others to do things for others and stand up for others. By the way, did Fang Xianfu, Deputy Assistant Secretary, and Huo Tao, Vice President, send you a message?
In the final analysis, hatred belongs to others. You and I are not worthy of enmity, let alone involving yourself!
And you can tell Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao that this time it is not that you are not trying your best, but that the officials in Nanjing want to abandon you, and you have to protect yourself!"
As Governor Sheng listened, he always felt that something was wrong. You, Qin Dewei, have done a lot of things to persuade people to be virtuous and drag them into trouble, right?
