Not only people from Yujiazhuang, there are nearly a hundred Zhuangzi in Lantian County. Today, more or less villagers come to Chang'an City. Even people who have not entered the city can get the news in newspapers through various channels.
Hearing that the entire Lantian County would become Li Zexuan's fiefdom, the people were undoubtedly happy. However, as the news further fermented, more and more people discovered the hidden meaning behind this announcement.
"Let's go! Liu Laoqi, go to Chang'an City quickly! I heard that some people don't want Lantian County to become the fiefdom of Yong'an Marquis! Let's go to Chang'an City and have a look!"
"What? Didn't Zhao Wazi just say that His Majesty has decreed that Lantian County will become the fief of Yong'an Marquis? Why are you saying that now?"
"Hey! That's because you didn't read the newspaper carefully! Mr. Wu from our village said that what Yong'an Hou said is not as simple as it seems! Let's go, let's go!"
"Okay! Lao Wang, wait! If someone really dares to disturb this matter, I, Liu Laoqi, will be the first to let him go!"
Similar conversations took place in various villages in Lantian County. People who had not gone to the market were heading towards Chang'an City one after another, and a torrent was about to sweep over them!
"It's Wei Zuocheng! Yu Xiucai, I heard from a slave in Mr. Hu's family that it was Wei Zuocheng who strongly opposed His Majesty's transfer of Lantian County to Yongan Marquis yesterday morning!"
At 3:30 p.m., a dozen bankers from Yujiazhuang who had previously dispersed to inquire for information gathered at Dongshikou. One of the bankers said to Yu Dejing with an angry look on his face.
"really!"
Yu Dejing murmured to himself, then he looked at Zhong Lizheng and said, "Uncle Zhong, what should I do now? To be honest, if this incident hadn't happened, Wei Zuocheng would have always been a role model in my heart. But merging all the other Zhuangzi in Lantian County into the Marquis' fiefdom is beneficial to everyone! In terms of national law alone, Wei Zuocheng's opposition is indeed understandable! But he ignored the feelings of ordinary villagers like us!"
Zhong Lizheng's eyes darkened, he looked around at the angry and eager villagers of Yujiazhuang, and slowly said:
"Wei Zuocheng is indeed a good official who cares about the people, but he cannot focus solely on national laws and ignore the interests of the people of Lantian County! Let's go to Wei Zuocheng's home together and ask Wei Zuocheng for an explanation!"
"Okay! Go and ask for an explanation! Go and ask for an explanation!"
After Zhong Lizheng finished speaking, he immediately received unanimous approval from the bankers.
In the past, their Yujiazhuang was not Li Zexuan's fiefdom, and they still lived as usual. However, once a human being gives him hope and then lets him down, most people will not be able to accept it! The farmers in Yujiazhuang are in this situation now. They see that they have the hope of leading a good life with their families, but they are ruined by Wei Zheng alone! How can they endure this?
In addition, after learning that Wei Zheng was the "pusher" behind the scenes, other Zhuangzi people rushed towards Wei Zheng's home in Yongxing Fang. There were more and more people, gradually forming a mighty torrent. They come from different Zhuangzi, but they have the same purpose at this moment, which is to make Wei Zheng surrender and stop interfering with Li Erfeng's reward for Li Zexuan!
"Madam! Madam! It's not good! There are many people gathered outside the house!"
The old concierge of the Wei Mansion was the first to notice the abnormality and quickly reported it to the maids in the mansion, who then ran to the backyard to inform the mistress Pei!
Pei was surprised when he heard this: "Many people have gathered outside the house? I have always been an upright official, so why would these people come to our house to make trouble? Could it be that they were instigated by some villain~?"
The Pei family was born in a famous family, but she was willing to marry into the Wei family, a poor family. What she valued was Wei Zheng's upright and upright character. Although her married life was very poor, having such a noble husband made her spiritual life It has been quite fulfilling!
That's why she felt confused when she heard that people gathered outside the Wei Mansion today, because she might not dare to say anything else, but she felt that Wei Zheng's official character and character were impeccable.
"Madam! Those people didn't make any trouble, and they didn't say anything else. They just said they wanted to see the master and asked him to let them go!"
The maid bowed and replied.
Compared with the group of people who gathered in front of the Wei Mansion last year, this group of people can be said to be much more rational and restrained!
Mainly because Wei Zheng's official reputation has always been excellent, and most people think he is a good official. Although Wei Zheng may have done something wrong in granting Li Zexuan the title of Lantian County, the people still remember Wei Zheng's previous contributions to Li Zexuan. They are kind and have a lot of restraint in their behavior.
"Let them go? Let's go! Lu He, let's go out and take a look!"
Mrs. Pei thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out where Wei Zheng offended these people, so she stood up and said.
"Madam! Don't! You must not do it! There are too many people outside the house. What if there are some bad guys among them and hurt you? Madam, you should wait until the master comes back!"
When the maid heard this, she was startled and quickly stopped her.
At this time, Wei Zheng should still be attending the morning court, so she did not dare to let Pei go out to investigate the situation. After all, the destruction of the Cui family by angry people more than a month ago is still vivid in the eyes of many people in Chang'an City!
"It's okay! Since these people are not making trouble, they will definitely not harm me! Lu He, get out of the way!"
Pei insisted.
"No! The maid cannot let the lady go out to take risks! If the lady wants to go out, she must step over the maid!"
The maid said without giving in.
"Wei Zuocheng! Wei Zuocheng! Please let us go!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside. Mrs. Pei's expression changed and she said, "The master is back. Let's go and take a look behind the courtyard gate!"
This time, Lu He did not stop her anymore, but followed Pei towards the front yard.
"Let you go? Have I ever done anything detrimental to you or restricted your freedom?"
In front of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zheng just returned from the morning court and saw many people gathered in front of the Mansion from a distance. His heart sank, and he hurriedly came to the crowd, only to hear the people telling him to let them go, which made him very confused, and then he asked.
"Student Yu Dejing has met Wei Zuocheng!"
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Yu Dejing walked out, arched his hands towards Wei Zheng, and then said: "Yu comes from Yujiazhuang, which is the northernmost village in Lantian County! Among the eight villages in Lantian County last year, Every household of the villagers has everything they need! Now I heard that His Majesty wants to give all of Lantian County to Yong'an Marquis, but Wei Zuocheng has a different opinion, so we people came here to implore Wei Zuocheng to change his mind and support the transfer of the entire Lantian County. Grant it to Marquis Yong'an!"
