In the evening, Zhu Hansan called Xi Zhicai, and Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao had dinner with him.
"Zhicai, what happened today is roughly like this. If you analyze it, will Li Xiang die on the way?"
Zhu Hansan picked up a piece of braised meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked with a smile.
"In my opinion, Li Xiang will most likely not be able to return to Xindu!"
This matter does not require analysis. As soon as Zhu Hansan finished speaking, Xi Zhicai replied directly.
"Alas! If Li Xiang fails to return to Xindu and dies on the way, we will also be suspicious!"
Zhu Hansan said with a sad face: "How about we send people to protect him along the way? At least let the fat man return to Xindu City alive."
"Sir, this is not so much a bad thing for us as it is a great good thing!"
Xi Zhicai seemed to have a good plan, he chuckled.
"Oh? How did it turn into a good thing? Could you please tell me?"
When Zhu Hansan heard this, he immediately became interested and asked anxiously.
"Yes, the actor Bo, I don't see what's good about it. As soon as Li Xiang dies, the Prime Minister will send someone to investigate, and then some money will be spent. I finally have some savings to do something, but I have to postpone it.
Several months.”
Zhang Liao asked in confusion.
"You guys! You only know one, but you don't know the other!"
Xi Zhicai put down his bowl and chopsticks, stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "First of all, Li Xiang has publicly stated that he will tell the Prime Minister Zhang Feng's guilt in detail. It is difficult for everyone to talk in public! If something happens to Li Xiang,
Zhang Feng is the most suspected. You can take this opportunity to bring Zhang Feng down. From now on, you alone have the final say in this county government office. At that time, it will be time for us to show our strength; secondly, even if this matter
If we can't bring down Zhang Feng, we can also ask Zhang Feng to eliminate the banditry in Jingxian County in the name of the bandits in the territory. But it was Zhang Feng who did this. Where will he go to eliminate it? Your Excellency, please clarify the time for solving the case.
, when Zhang Feng cannot solve the case, my lord, you can convict Zhang Feng for the crime of unstable public security and poor handling of the case. Although you cannot bring him down, you can still make him hand over some county soldiers; thirdly, even if
Zhang Feng is a little clever. If he doesn't intercept and kill Li Xiang, we can also do justice for heaven. Anyway, such a corrupt official's death will be in vain. We are killing harm for the people! This is a worthwhile move. How can you enjoy it, sir?
Why not?"
"You want me to kill someone? This..."
When he killed Zhang San, he was killed first because someone wanted to kill him first, and he was the last to fight back. He didn't have much heartache, but now Xi Zhi asked him to send people to kill Li Xiang. Zhu Hansan really couldn't do it.
come out.
"Sir! The world is about to be in chaos, corrupt officials are rampant, bad gentry are everywhere, people's hearts are not as old as before, and if you want to achieve great things, you cannot have the kindness of women. Besides, who is Li Xiang? This official has been running rampant in the countryside for many years and has stolen so much people's fat and anointing. We are here
Isn't it considered to be doing justice for heaven and getting rid of this scourge for the people?"
Zhu Hansan was good at everything. He was ambitious, had ideas, was courageous, was kind to people, knew the sufferings of the people, wanted to prosper the people, and made the county rich. However, such a wise master was hesitant about killing people. In these days, which one
A heroic hero does not carry a few lives on his back. Even he, Xi Zhicai, killed talented people to go to Luoyang to seek a living. In his opinion, corrupt officials should be killed as long as they are killed. There is nothing to worry about.
"Yes! The actor
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What you say makes sense. If you, my lord, can't be cruel, then leave this matter to Zhang Liao! I will never let others know that it was your idea, lord!"
Zhang Liao seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice.
"Alas! Zhicai, Wen Yuan, you all thought of me wrong," Zhu Hansan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said with a wry smile: "The great governance of the world starts from the rule of law. People should act in accordance with the law and abide by the law. How can they overstep their bounds? According to your rules
You mean, if you think that person is guilty, then everyone can do it for God? In this way, the world will not be a mess? I have always had great ambitions, this is true, sometimes I will go against my conscience
Do some immoral things, but what I want to tell you is that even if a human life in this world is worthless, no matter how worthless it is, it is still a human life. This... is my bottom line, fighting on the battlefield, that is the philosophy of both parties.
We are different, we have different beliefs, and death and injury are inevitable, but I absolutely cannot agree with this killing for no reason. Whether you say that I am a benevolent woman or that I am hypocritically benevolent and indulge the enemy, after all, this is still the Han Dynasty.
In the world, we are all subjects of the Han Dynasty. Li Duyou is an official from Xindu. If he is corrupt and bends the law, if I want to kill him, it must be after the evidence is solid, he acts in accordance with the law, and he must be executed according to the law.
, you...understand?"
In this era, human life is really worthless. Even a scholar as resourceful as Xi Zhicai can hardly escape the concept that human life is worthless. Zhu Hansan felt that since he wanted to show his talents, he could only act in accordance with the law.
If there is no way to rely on it, what kind of chaos will happen? Even if this person is guilty and deserves to die, it must be dealt with according to the law, and those who have this right can only be in a few special departments, and no one else can.
There should be such power of life and death. Although this breeds the ambition of criminals, it also cultivates generations of good-hearted people to respect the law. After all, there are always a few bad guys.
"Sir, I beg your pardon to disagree with this statement. Since ancient times, whoever wants to achieve great things has been a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person?"
Zhang Liao was very puzzled by this view. In his opinion, these are just tricks used by the powerful to fool the people. Which person in power does not have his own white gloves and black gloves? If Zhu Hansan is a womanly person, what else can he do?
It would be better to say that he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. This kind of thing is often said to outsiders. Suddenly, Zhang Liao felt that Zhu Hansan did not regard him as one of his own, and he was inevitably in a trance.
"Wenyuan, if you want to do great things, you must first correct your heart. These words may seem unrealistic to you, but in my opinion, this is the only way to achieve long-term peace and stability." Zhu Hansan ignored Zhang Liao, but Xi Zhicai and the others thought of it.
Since he has decided on his own style of conduct, he will definitely not change it. If he himself is unstable and wavering, how can he attract a group of like-minded people to do big things with him?
"Sir, it seems that you have a big plan!" Xi Zhicai was smart and guessed Zhu Hansan's plan after a moment's thought. He glanced at Zhu Hansan with hidden eyes and comforted Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, since we are all
Your Majesty’s subordinates should follow your Majesty’s will and must not act recklessly!”
"Haha... Those who know me are talented!"
Zhu Hansan was relieved in his heart and laughed and said: "It's nothing to say that Zhang Feng is just a mere Zhang Feng. As long as I recruit fifty guards, that's when Zhang Feng will hand over power."
"Zhicai, have you recruited enough brewing workers during this time?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhu Hansan still had some food left in his hand, so he thought about making wine. He was sure that once the wine was released, it would definitely form a storm and sweep around Jingxian County.
"There happens to be a shop in the city that is ready to be sold. I have asked Mrs. Zhang to contact me. In a few days, I should be able to buy the shop. As for the brewing workers, Wenyuan has already recruited ten people with innocent backgrounds and no family ties.
A carefree young man."
Regarding Zhu Hansan's desire to make wine, Xi Zhicai was a little resistant. After all, there was very little land belonging to the Yamen. The land within a radius of more than a hundred miles in Jingxian County was controlled by aristocratic families. They wanted to open up wasteland but could not find a place. They had just obtained it from the aristocratic family.
We need some grain to last for two years at most. If we make wine, the grain storage will be greatly reduced. Besides, the harvest has not been good in the past few years, and grain is too valuable. After thinking about it, Xi Zhicai decided to persuade someone.
He advised, "Sir, we don't have a regular source of income for the time being. We don't have much savings if we make wine so rashly!"
"Hehe! Don't worry, Zhicai. I will get rid of Zhang Feng. By then, all the Zhang family's land will be confiscated, which is enough to maintain the operation of the county. Moreover, once this wine is released, it will definitely become a fine wine that the wealthy families will compete for.
The benefits are tempting, if we exchange wine for food, I believe many people will be willing to give up their stored food."
Zhu Hansan had obviously already planned on how to sell and maintain, but he still remained wary of production. After all, he didn't want to see the Chenxiang Pavilion matter again. He said in a deep voice: "As for the brewing workers, we must be strict
Wenyuan is solely responsible for the screening and the protection of the winery. Remember, we cannot let our brewing formula be exposed. When the time comes, we will do justice to this formula in the name of the Yamen and strictly clarify the ownership of this formula. Once others
Counterfeit and be held accountable.”
"As for Li Xiang, let's leave it alone. Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with us. What is our top priority now? It is to brew the first batch of wine before the New Year, and then build a reputation for this wine, and make money while celebrating the New Year.
For the last time, I will leave the brewing matter to you, Zhicai. Remember, it is better to be slower than to let people with evil intentions mix into the brewery."
This festival has been treated solemnly by the people since ancient times. Even those who do not drink on weekdays will drink a little on this day. Zhu Hansan wanted to seize this opportunity, sell on a large scale, and take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
"I obey my orders!"
Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao quickly clasped their fists and agreed.
There are still two or three months before the end of the year, and time is very tight. At this point, Zhu Hansan is racing against time. He recruits guards and poor workers, rents shops, and fights wits and courage with Zhang Feng and Li Hu.
Think of it as a snake.
At this time, in the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Feng seemed to have decided on a major event.
"Master, have you decided? Once you do this, there is no way back."
Butler Zhang had a sad look on his face and tried hard to persuade him: "Actually, Zhu Hansan is not a hard person to deal with. As long as you hand over the military power in your hands, head of the family, he will not make things difficult for you, head of the family!"
"If we don't have soldiers in our hands, then my Zhang family will be destroyed even faster! There is no need to say more about this matter, I have made up my mind! Just go out of the city overnight and find them!"
