Three hundred and seventieth chapters more violent rumors
Wanting to understand the cause and effect, Li You breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. He had been speculating about the inside story suspiciously since yesterday. It turned out that the truth was that simple. After worrying about it for a long time, it was just like boiling soup and pouring snow.
The idea of the sudden attack by the three families in Yancao Prefecture was very good. The joint impeachment was very effective. It was like the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. It was a pity that they chose the wrong time. They did not know that Mr. Li currently has a halo of meritorious service, which has a 100% damage reduction effect and is valid for at least half a year.
No one can impeach him or her in any way.
Of course, if you look at history, you will find that countless heroes have unlucky endings. After all, people's memories are always forgotten. But at least in the early days, heroes will always receive all kinds of preferential treatment and indulgence. Today, Mr. Li is in this situation.
stage.
In front of Gao Yuntong, who was proud of the fearlessness of the ignorant, Mr. Li, the only one who knew the truth, had a very confused expression. Should he tell Mr. Gao now and despair, or should he wait for him to realize it later? Which situation?
What breaks his heart the most?
However, in Gao Yuntong's eyes, Li You's tangled expression was the despair and pain of a loser. He sneered a few times, ignored Li You, rolled up the scroll on the table, and said to Jin Wanwan: "Goodbye.
"
After watching Gao Yuntong leave the room, Li You didn't say anything in the end.
"You..." Jin Wanwan said after sending his in-laws away and returning to the pavilion, he stopped talking. He didn't know what to say, and his mood was extremely conflicted. Why is this outstanding son-in-law so at odds with the Salt Transport Department?
, otherwise it would be such a perfect network of relationships, but now he is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.
Li You originally wanted to play some tricks to "test" Jin Wanwan's position, but he suppressed the idea as soon as it came up because he couldn't afford to "test" it. Only a novice would mindlessly test the target without looking at him.
Test others.
You must know that Jin Wanwan is not his subordinate and has no obligation to accept any test. Forcing the test will only leave Jin Wanwan with a grudge. You cannot blame a rational person for not making the right decision when the information is incomplete.
Even if Jin Wanwan wavers in the face of the "difficulty" and alienates him, so what? In the end, Li You still needs Jin Wanwan for help. What's the use of testing at this time without testing?
People like Jin Wanwan, who have reached a certain level of strength, naturally have the capital and rights to change their stance. They cannot use so-called "morals" and "emotions" to be demanding. Instead of exploring his current choices, it is better to leave a good thought.
.
So Li You said to Jin Wanwan: "You don't have to worry about me, they are just chickens and dogs!"
Jin Wanwan was quite shocked when he heard his son-in-law's words. In his eyes, this son-in-law always looked confident and in control of everything, but the current situation was one-sided. It was really not the time to show confidence, right?
"I will let you see what God's will is!" Li You dropped these words enigmatically and returned to the county government office.
Jin Wanwan frowned and said nothing. He also knew a little bit about the officialdom system. Now his son-in-law was in a situation where he was besieged on all sides. He really couldn't think of any way for his son-in-law to break the situation.
After a night of silence, Li Youcai sat down in the back hall the next day. Mr. Hu, who was in charge of local affairs, hurried in and suggested: "As people in the city are panicking now, they all think that the proprietor is about to leave. The proprietor must refute the rumors."
Otherwise, I’m afraid it will affect the proprietor’s governance.”
Li You laughed a few times, shook his head and said: "What rumors are you trying to refute? No need!"
Master Hu was very suspicious when he heard this, "You don't want to refute the rumors? What does the proprietor mean?"
"Do you think the local gentry and people want me to leave?"
"The proprietor has applied benevolent policies, like a loving father and mother, and has won the hearts of the people. The people of Jiangdu County will never let the proprietor leave." Master Hu replied half flatteringly and half seriously.
Li You asked again: "Based on my meritorious service in Sizhou, do you think I will be punished by the imperial court?"
"Of course not."
"What else do you have to worry about? When the imperial envoy arrives in Yangzhou to reward me, will the people in this city who are worried about my future be very surprised or even excited when they hear about this?"
"It will definitely happen."
"Then let's make the surprise more intense!" Li You said confidently.
Previously, he had been worried about the conspiracy of the three government agencies in Yancao Prefecture, and he did not dare to act rashly because he could not see through it. Now that he has seen the situation clearly and knows the cause and effect, he naturally has no worries anymore. What else should he not dare to do? If there is a chance, he will cheat
When it comes to fame, it doesn't matter if you don't whitewash it or tolerate rumors for a while.
Of course, gaining fame requires technique, and many people's pretentiousness is counterproductive. However, Mr. Li's knowledge in this regard is beyond the times, and it is naturally unfavorable.
As a lover of Internet literature in his previous life, Li You had read countless good books. Of course, he knew the law of rising and falling first, that is, the sunshine always comes after the wind and rain, and the passion must come after the frustration. Without the foreshadowing of depression, where would it come from?
Extremely cool**?
This law also applies to the current situation. The native people of Yangzhou City are equivalent to readers of books, and he, Li You, is the author or director.
Therefore, at this moment, we must create a depressing plot even if there is no depressing plot, and arrange a grievance section even if there is no grievance section. Only in this way can the most emotional effect be produced at the most exciting moment, and the strongest fanaticism can be concocted in the minds of the people.
!Besides, how can you see the rainbow without going through wind and rain? How can you know how to cherish Li Qingtian if you don’t go through hardships?
Let the rumors become more intense!
After making up his mind, Li County Zun called the printer and printed some slips. He also called some government servants and handed out a slip by hand, and gave them a very honorable task to write down the contents on the paper.
, and then go even harder to spread those unfavorable rumors! The more unlucky he is, the better!
For example: "Master Li is really finished this time. The imperial envoy is already on the way and wants to take him to Beijing for questioning!"
Another example: "When people die, political power ceases. I am afraid that the new policies implemented by Mr. Li since he took office will be canceled one by one!"
Also: "This time the Salt Transportation Department and the government office have opened up the Queen Mother's relationship, Mr. Li's official position will definitely be lost!"
These subordinates are not very good at executing good deeds, but if they are asked to do bad things, their execution is surprisingly high, and the effect of spreading rumors is pretty good.
And it also had a side effect. The people of Yangzhou City felt that even the county government officials did not think highly of Mr. Li, and they were even more pessimistic about Li You's future. They couldn't help but lament in their hearts. Of course, the salt merchants continued to tell each other and opened fire.
Feast to celebrate.
In just a few days, fights between locals and residents occurred in several restaurants in Yangzhou.
Don't think that the people of Yangzhou City are naive. A few rumors can arouse their emotions. You know, what do the people look forward to most these days? It is for a local Qingtian Master to come.
The local governance of the state and the dynasty is very personal. The comfort of the people in a place is largely determined by the personal qualities of the local officials.
The people will be glad to have Qingtian. When Mr. Qingtian left office, many of the people cried and shouted for him to stay. Indeed, many of them were sincere. On the one hand, they were reluctant to leave, and on the other hand, they were worried about the future. Who knows what the next one will be like?
master?
But when evil officials come to do evil and take away the land, the people will suffer. Of course, most local officials are ordinary people, but there is no Qingtian who makes decisions for the people and is popular with the people.
For the people of Yangzhou City, Li County Zun is the Li County Zun who dares to impose heavy taxes on wealthy salt merchants to reduce the burden on the local people. He is the Li County Zun who has fair rewards and punishments in criminal cases without corruption and perversion of the law.
He is a respected person from County Li who values scholars and is generous with their money.
To sum up, Mr. Li is truly worthy of being the Grand Master of Qingtian, and it is rare to meet someone of this level in fifty years. If possible, the people in the city are willing to let Mr. Li serve as the magistrate of Jiangdu County for the rest of his life, because they are afraid that he will never be found again.
There is no better county magistrate than him. Apart from others, who would dare to attack the group of salt merchants except Mr. Li?
Therefore, Mr. Li's whereabouts are very affecting people's hearts. The emotions of hundreds of thousands of gentry and common people in the county are also stirred up by various rumors. They are frightened and worried, up and down. This is not because the rumors are so clever, but because the people care too much.
The question of Mr. Li's stay now remains.
People in this era are still naive, Li You said with emotion. There are not so many doubtful commentators on the Internet in the 21st century. Otherwise, just because the government officials took the initiative to spread rumors on the streets, they would be caught and questioned by netizens.
Squirt until death.
A few days later, the news from Sizhou gradually spread to Yangzhou, the rumors subsided a little, and the people of Yangzhou were relieved. I heard that Mr. Li had made great contributions, and the imperial court would not do anything to him.
This won't work! Writing likes to see the mountains but not the plain, and being bland and without twists and turns is definitely boring!
It was no longer easy to use the government servants, so Li You sent all his servants to restaurants and shops on the streets to spread various rumors about the new version.
It has to be said that the people of Yangzhou City are really concerned about Mr. Li's whereabouts, and rumors related to this will immediately become a hot topic.
"The imperial court is very dissatisfied with Mr. Li's unauthorized flooding of Sizhou and wants to punish him!"
"More than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Sizhou filed a bloody complaint against Mr. Li. The imperial court is worried about civil unrest and wants to take advantage of Mr. Li and the common people!"
"Futai and Mr. Li had a fierce conflict in Xuyi County. They fought for 300 rounds but could do nothing. In anger, they went to the court and made slanderous remarks to capture Mr. Li!"
"If there is a reward, the edict should have come long ago. The delay until now shows that Mr. Li cannot escape his crime! By the way, the imperial envoy who came to arrest Mr. Li is really on the way. Now he has arrived at Huai'an Mansion. Someone has seen it with his own eyes."
The slightly relaxed mood of the people in the city was lifted up again. The salt merchants who were registered were also uneasy and worried about what to do, wondering whether this damn Li You could still leave?
However, in the Salt Transportation Department, the government office, and the Guazhou Warehouse, the moods of several adults plummeted, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the lake like Sizhou City.
Their ability to distinguish rumors is far better than that of ignorant people, and they understand very well that the new version of rumors are all nonsense, and only Li You's achievements are real. However, this means that they have become clowns who try to shake up the heroes.
Just yesterday, they thought the bluffing Li You was a clown, but overnight, the roles were reversed. (To be continued!)
