Confucius said: "What you believe is your eyes, but your eyes are still untrustworthy; what you rely on is your heart, but your heart is still not trustworthy. Disciples remember that it is not easy to know people."
To put it simply, what Confucius meant in these words was to warn his disciples: in many cases, what they see in their eyes is not the so-called reality! Even if you try hard to distinguish, you will often make a mistake.
Therefore, it is not easy to know people! Those who are not very wise are not enough to uphold it!
Such as now.
Faced with the public outcry among the people, Xiao Han finally backed down due to his "violent appearance and soft heart", and "reluctantly" allowed the old county magistrate to continue to perform meritorious service on the grounds that the culprit who burned down the West City had not yet been arrested.
As soon as he said these words and saw Xiao Han sneaking away in "embarrassment", countless people present suddenly burst into cheers like a torrent! That scene was like a huge victory!
But behind this, how many people can recognize Xiao Han's painstaking efforts?
"Master, master! Are you okay?"
The third brother, who was slumped on the ground, stared blankly at the cheering crowd. He didn't even know when the man in front of him would leave!
It wasn't until his body gained some strength that he suddenly woke up and hurriedly struggled forward to help the old county magistrate.
The old county magistrate stood up straight little by little with the support of his third brother. Although there were smiles on some old faces, if you look carefully, you can vaguely see a little sparkle in those old eyes. scroll.
"I'm fine!" Slowly exhaling a breath, the old county magistrate looked at the figures of Xiao Han and others walking away in the dark night with a complicated expression. Only when they disappeared into the darkness, did he slowly turn his head and look at himself in front of him. Many people were excited!
"Everyone! Please rest assured! This matter is not over yet! This county will find justice for you!" He stretched out his hands and saluted the people present. This time, the old county magistrate's tone was filled with incomparable confidence and determination. !
"I will obey the order of the county magistrate!"
Seeing this, many people in front of them did not dare to make any excuses. They hurriedly stopped cheering and bowed their hands to the old county magistrate!
Perhaps it was at this moment that they felt convinced by this "county prince" who came by air! There is no longer the same dislike and resistance as before when Fatty Hong was in power.
"Okay, okay!" The old county magistrate clearly saw the change in the eyes of the people, so he smiled with relief, waved his hands and continued: "It's getting late, let's have a rest. We have to rebuild our homes tomorrow, so we can't delay this! If anyone has no place to live, he can stay temporarily in the county government office!"
"No, no need! There is a place to live, there is a place to live..."
Did the people hear that the old county magistrate invited them to stay at the county government office? They immediately said no, and then they dispersed one after another!
Go to the county government office to sleep? Don't be ridiculous, who can sleep in a place like that?
A storm subsided.
The people's grievances were dissipated, and the old county magistrate also received countless people's support. Except for Xiao Han, who took a big blame, everything seemed so perfect.
Oh, I almost forgot, outside Guangzhou, there is an acquaintance who is clenching his fists and looking at this dark city.
"Xiao Han! Chen Ziwei! You are very good, haha, very good..."
————————
It is actually difficult to have an accurate definition of what a noble family is.
However, Xiao Han himself believes that any family that can be called a noble family must have a few things!
One said: rich
2nd: Someone
Three: Have the right
Those who only have money are called rich.
Those who only have people are called landlords.
Only when the three come together and all three form a certain scale can they be named a noble family!
For example, Xunfu, Nankangfu, and Nanyifu in Guangzhou!
How many mansions were destroyed by the old county magistrate?
For the three mansions, which have some strong financial and human resources, this is just an insignificant loss!
But although the loss was small, its impact was no less than using slippers to slap them in the face!
If you can tolerate this tone, then in the future, cats and dogs will probably dare to poop and pee on their heads!
Therefore, counterattack is a must!
Seeing that everyone was an official in the same dynasty, the three palaces decided to have an upright duel first, so that the world could see their strength, and avoid hiding in Lingnan all day long and pretending to be dogs. Over time, it really became dog!
So, on the seventh day of the Guangzhou incident, the Chang'an Palace ushered in the first wave of offensive from the three families.
"Your Majesty! Xiao Han, the son of Sanyuan County, traveled to Guangzhou and acted arrogantly there! He was even so bold as to appoint and remove officials without permission! This is a treasonous and unethical act. I request you to kill this beast as soon as possible!"
"I second the motion! I also heard that this beast not only committed evil on his own, but also made a nest of snakes and rats with the county magistrate Zhang Ziwei who was secretly appointed by him! Seven days ago, he secretly instigated the people to attack our Tang Dynasty government office, causing countless casualties. ! Even the families living around the government office suffered disasters, with their houses destroyed and all their property lost!"
"minister……"
At the court meeting, several officials appeared from nowhere to criticize Xiao Han who was far away in Guangzhou!
It seems that not killing this person is not enough for the people to be angry! If this person is not killed, Jiangshan Sheji will immediately be suspected of subversion!
Among the civil and military teams on both sides, there were also several people with flashing eyes and eagerness to try on their faces.
"Ahem, why is Mr. Wei so taciturn today?" In the ranks of civil servants, Tang Jian asked with a smile and cupped his hands to Wei Zheng beside him.
"Hmph!" Wei Zheng closed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly.
He is a good remonstrator, but he really doesn't know these guys who are "straightforward in admonishing" in front of him, and he doesn't want to know them!
Impeach Xiao Han?
There is nothing wrong with this in itself. After all, Xiao Han has long been like that broken drum beaten by thousands of people, and he is taken out at every turn to set a negative example for others!
But no matter who it is, even if he has a life-and-death feud with him, he has never naively thought that Xiao Han's head can be chopped off by impeachment!
On the contrary, most of the countless people who clamored to chop off his head ended up dead. But Xiao Han was still jumping around nicely!
"These are people from Lingnan! They have nothing to do with my Yushitai!" He lowered his voice and uttered a sentence. Will Wei Zheng continue to ignore Tang Jian next to him?
And Tang Jian also had a "Sure enough" expression on his face. He folded his arms and continued to watch with interest those people who continued to cry in the court!
"Your Majesty! Lingnan has been a land of barbarians since ancient times. The local people are fierce and have never obeyed the imperial teachings! Rebellion and looting are commonplace! Thanks to your majesty's talent and strategy, you established Guifu, Xunfu and other yamen in Guangzhou to use barbarians to control barbarians. This It was only then that the land of Lingnan was calmed down, but now, it has been destroyed by a child with a yellow mouth! If the local natives lose their discipline and something happens again, the land of Lingnan will be in danger!"
