County government hall
Chen Hua looked out with a worried look on his face, and after a while he turned to Prime Minister Hu County and said, "What should we do if we harass the people by letting the victims into the city?"
Hu County Prime Minister said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I followed Mr. Xu's instructions and have already placed people among the victims."
Chen Hua was still worried, shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have agreed to use his move yesterday. It was too dangerous!"
Hu Xiancheng said that he was only Weiwei, but he didn't think so in his heart.
To deal with these big households, good methods will not work. You have to follow Mr. Xu's idea and hit the snake seven inches.
It's better to be chaotic
Let the court know about the chaos, and let Mr. Chen take part in his trough and Caodu!
At this moment, the disciples reported from outside: "Sir, a group of large households and grain merchants in the county want to see you!"
Chen Hua has long been tortured crazy by this group of big businessmen and grain merchants.
Now that I heard that these people came to ask for help, I knew that this group of people must have received the news that the Huang family was being robbed, and they were frightened and came to seek shelter.
However, although he despises these people, according to Xu He's thinking, these people still need him to meet.
So County Magistrate Chen suppressed his displeasure and said, "Go, let them wait in the second hall, I want to change my clothes!"
Chen Hua went to the toilet for half an hour. Although a group of large grain merchants were sitting in the county office, they were still trembling all over when they heard the noise on Fenghuang Pier not far away.
Just when everyone was on pins and needles, Chen Hua walked out accompanied by Hu Xian Cheng.
Different from the previous few times, when a group of large grain merchants saw Chen Hua, they really fell to their knees.
"Master Chen, save us!"
"Master Chen, please restrain the victims and don't let them attack the villain's family!"
"Master, I know I was wrong. Today, no, right away I will ask the guys to remove the door panels and open a warehouse to sell grain!"
…
After they finished talking, Hu County Prime Minister pretended to be surprised and said: "Didn't I tell you everything last night? If you are willing to sell grain to the county, it means that we are all good squires. What are you afraid of?"
What are you afraid of?
The victims are jealous, but they don't care whether you are kind or not.
Besides, when you, County Magistrate Hu, looked for them yesterday, there were no victims present to testify or anything like that!
Chen Hua said with a serious expression at this time: "Are you afraid now? Why did you people go there so long ago?"
After hearing this, a group of people knew that the eldest man was still angry, so they all knelt on the ground and slapped themselves in the mouth.
"Sir, I was wrong. I was evil-hearted. I thought... No, I was bewitched by Huang Dewang, and that's why I kept my food secret and refused to sell it to the county!"
"Ah, that's right, that old thief Huang Dewang said that by holding back the grain and not selling it, he can then buy the victims' fields at a low price!"
"I was blinded by lard. Master, please spare us this time!"
Chen Hua and Hu Xian Cheng looked at each other after hearing this and said to themselves that these people are really cowards of Te Niang. Before they could guide them, they seemed to have colluded and poured all the dirty water into Huang Dewang's mouth. inside.
This is not bad, it saves the two of them a lot of trouble, and they don't have to leave a tail to teach others in the future.
Hu Xian Cheng coughed twice, and turned to Chen Hua in a pretentious manner: "Master Chen, you are all sages from Hailing Township. You always pay the summer grain and autumn tax faithfully, and you never default..."
Seeing him helping to speak, everyone quickly agreed:
"Yes, Mr. Chen, we are all kind-hearted people!"
"Sir, don't you believe that if we check the house yellow records, we will not pay on time every year and never default on it?"
"grown ups,……"
The gesture was made and the goal was achieved, but Chen Hua and Lao Hu were both waiting for news.
When there was no news, Chen Hua still had a dark face. No matter how much people begged him, he would never let go.
Just when a group of people were thirsty and ready to give up and go home to save themselves, a white servant suddenly came in and whispered a few words in Hu County Cheng's ear.
After hearing this, Hu Xian Cheng had a subtle sneer on his lips, then turned his head and nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Hua faced everyone and said with a stern voice: "If it were my temper, I would never help people like you, but firstly, it is the face of the county magistrate, and secondly, you are all well-known figures in the countryside. Some families have children, grandchildren and relatives who are officials outside, that’s all!”
Having said this, he said outside: "Here comes someone!"
After the disciples came in, Chen Hua ordered: "Take the sign and have the county government's third squad, minzhuang, and archers all go to the streets to persuade those people to return!"
"Also, take my post and ask Zhang Bingxian to send someone to guard the intersection!"
"Finally, I asked all the county officials to go to the streets to persuade the people to return! I just said that the food was available! Everyone went to the porridge to eat!"
About an hour later, needles could be heard in the second hall of the county government office, and everyone was wiping their sweat and waiting for news.
But what reassured everyone was that the noise outside the county government office became smaller and smaller, and finally no movement could be heard at all.
After another hour, an official hurried in and reported: "I would like to report to the first and second masters that the people have returned to the porridge and lined up to receive porridge!"
Chen Hua asked worriedly: "How is the situation in the county?"
The official said: "More than ten households of ordinary people were harassed, but apart from the destruction of the courtyard gates, only the clothes and salty goods hanging in the courtyards of some households were lost!"
When Chen Hua heard this, he was immediately reassured.
Prime Minister Hu County secretly admired Xu He. Before he came back, he repeatedly emphasized that letting disaster victims into the city was a double-edged sword. Someone must be sent to guide the correct concept of robbery. Where should be looted and where should not be looted. This is all Have a plan.
"It's not enough to rely on your confidants, Lao Hu, to guide the victims. You can ask my second uncle for help. Just say it was me and ask him to ask Inspector Xu of the Inspection Department in the north of the city to recruit a group of Xujia villagers to help. Please give me some guidance! Don’t be too obvious, just be realistic!"
Thinking of Xu He's words, Hu Xian Cheng was about to admire this little brother.
There is no way, the facts are there, the effect is surprisingly good.
But ordinary people were not affected, but the wealthy families on Fenghuang Pier suffered.
Most of the people here have yards on Fenghuang Pier.
Just now the officials came to report that on Phoenix Pier, only the Xu family, who had been giving porridge, was not affected, and almost all other families were affected.
The most miserable among them is the Huang family.
The Huang family has now been evacuated. In addition to the load-bearing pillars, other items such as the women's personal clothes have been looted by the victims.
Moreover, the Huang family's granary in Xujia Village was accurately pointed out by an "enthusiastic person". A group of outsiders accurately found the Huang family's granary. Now, it can be said that the Huang family has lost a grain of rice.
All gone!
When a group of big businessmen and grain merchants followed Chen Hua and Hu Xiancheng and saw what was going on, they felt chills rising from the backs of their necks.
This is so cruel!
A precise strike!
Lao Huang's family's industry was severely damaged this time.
As for them, most of them also have properties in Fenghuang Dun, and they have suffered a lot from the impact of the disaster.
However, compared to the Huang Dewang family, their losses are almost negligible.
This scene made the guy in the group who was originally thinking about defaulting on the debt suddenly stop thinking.
If there is one, there are two. If the victims are not allowed to enter the city again, the Huang family will not be the unlucky ones.
Hu Xian Cheng suddenly laughed and said: "Everyone, Huang Yuanwai, who is rich and unkind and hoards money, was arrested by the victims and taken outside the city. You all are familiar with him on weekdays. How about we go to rescue him together?"
"Help? This..."
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Yuan He quickly said: "Huang Dewang forced us to raise the price of food just because his eldest son is in the household department. Now that he has ended up like this, I won't go!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xian Cheng was furious and said: "Don't want to go? Today you have to go even if you don't want to wait!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they all followed Chen Hua out of the city with frowning eyes.
Hu Xian Cheng and He Yuan Wai's eyes met, and Hu Xian Cheng gave him a "I am very satisfied" look. He Yuan Wai breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heart was not at all relaxed!
