The newly appointed county magistrate was still a figure in Zhang Juzheng's faction. After taking over the position of the previous county magistrate, he contributed a lot of money to the superiors and received praise from the superiors. It can be said that he has stabilized his position.
And because Liu Haojia was the first to catch up on the tax collection matter, he also met Liu Haojia once, so the two of them were familiar. So when Liu Haojia arrested the scholar, he sent someone to notify him. As the local county magistrate, it is natural that if anything happens, he must be brought to his head first!
When County Magistrate Wei heard that dozens of scholars had been captured by Wu Ninghou and taken into his mansion, he felt that the sky was about to fall! It was already very difficult for him to be dictated by various bosses in his position, but now that such a big thing happened, he felt that his life was hopeless!
He felt that since these scholars had offended Wu Ninghou and were taken into the mansion, they must have received a good beating first! Maybe by the time he arrives, these scholars will already be covered in wounds and wailing incessantly! So he designed a routine for himself!
First, you should yell when you don't see anyone, and then when you see someone, you should protect the scholars with your body. No matter how righteously you rebuke Wu Ninghou! It would be best for Wu Ninghou to beat him up as well, then this would be perfect!
But when he finished yelling and rushed into the scene, he found that the scene he imagined did not exist! No whip, no board, no bloody scene! Instead, a large group of scholars and Wu Ninghou sat around the table, drinking tea and tasting snacks! This is clearly like a poetry meeting!
Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but look back at the servant who reported the news to him, and the sorrow in his eyes almost overflowed! Of course the servant understood what he was thinking. He would never say that his young master was setting him up, so he said innocently: "Master, I was just ordered to inform you. I don't know the specifics. I don't know. It’s in the mansion!”
Magistrate Wei turned around and looked at the scholars. Although he knew that he must have been tricked, he still didn't know where. But when he saw that the scholars were safe and sound, he was relieved! The number of officials involved behind these dozens of princes is not a small number. If it really caused trouble, it would be enough for him to drink a pot!
At this time, Liu Haojia stood up and said, "Master Wei, what did you mean by shouting just now? Do you think I will torture these scholars?"
The scholars burst into low laughter upon hearing this! In fact, they thought so when they were first arrested, and many of them even fantasized about how they would impress Wu Ninghou with their righteousness! The worst thing is to walk out with bruises all over your body, tell everyone that you never gave in and become famous all over the world!
But I don’t know what happened, but after Wu Ninghou said a few words, things turned into what they are now! But fortunately, it should be considered a good thing if I don't get beaten! So he wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted Liu Haojia and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Marquis! I am really in a hurry, I thought, I thought..."
Liu Haojia laughed and said, "I know what you are thinking! You probably thought that I would give these scholars a good beating, right?"
Magistrate Wei smiled apologetically and said, "How could it be possible? How can the Marquis be such a cruel person!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Of course it was then! That's why I asked Mr. Wei to come here because I wanted you to be a witness! Otherwise, tomorrow someone would probably say that I acted recklessly and beat up the scholars!"
Magistrate Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible? Lord Marquis is kind, and the subordinates still know it!"
Liu Haojia said: "It's useless just for Mr. Wei to know. It's better to let everyone know! Well, everyone happens to be here. After Eunuch Zhang finishes introducing the situation, Mr. Wei can also find out about it from the scholars. What's going on!"
Then Liu Haojia didn't wait for Wei County Magistrate to speak, turned around and said to the scholars: "Go back and tell Mr. Wei what happened today, and then discuss the future plan of the salt field with Eunuch Zhang! You must know half of the Ming Dynasty Everyone is counting on this salt farm!"
When the scholars heard that such an important task was entrusted to them, they immediately became excited! One by one, they patted their chests to express that they must finish the work, so that Mr. Hou could rest assured!
Seeing that the scholars had expressed their opinions, Liu Haojia turned around and said, "Master Wei, I leave everything to you! I am tired and have to go back to rest."
Rest! "
After speaking, he strode away without waiting for Magistrate Wei's response. Only then did County Magistrate Wei realize that it was probably not him who had been tricked, but someone else! And looking at Liu Haojia's posture, he definitely didn't intend to let himself out of the Hou Mansion.
So he could imagine that tomorrow the bullets like snowflakes would be sent to the court, saying that when he beat up the scholars, Liu Haojia would beat them back one by one like before! It seems that the civil servants are going to be embarrassed again!
Thinking of this, he looked around and found a few servants standing under the wall, surrounding the entire yard! He knew that his plan was in vain! So he could only sigh and sit down to have a good chat with the scholars. See what happened?
As soon as Liu Haojia left the yard, a servant came over and whispered: "Second Young Master, the matter has been settled! Several people have fallen into it while transporting out of the city, and they will definitely find out!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "You won't reveal your flaws, right?"
The servant said: "No! The clothes have been changed, and the face has been beaten to a pulp. Even my mother can't recognize it! And the subordinate specially picked the hand of a thin person. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell!" "
Liu Haojia said: "Okay, you did a good job, go to the accounting room to receive the reward!"
After sending away the servants, Liu Haojia quickly came to the study and wrote a dozen letters one after another and arranged to send them out. The only thing left was to wait for the situation to develop tomorrow! But these things are unknown to the Wei magistrate and the scholars!
Listening to the stories of the three of them, the emotions of the courtiers also kept rising and falling! When they heard that the maids in the Hou's mansion were going to beat them, the civil servants all said that Wu Ninghou's family tradition was not upright and he had no dignity! The nobles praised the Liu family's maids for being able to dance with guns and sticks, and they had the family tradition of military generals!
When they heard the competition between Liu Haojia and Jin Pu, many civil servants looked proud and proud, thinking that the scholars would win! Even the nobles felt that Liu Haojia was afraid of falling into trouble, so they all remained silent!
But the reversal of results caused their emotions to change 180 degrees! Especially when they heard them competing to solve the problem, everyone concentrated and wanted to hear the specific situation of this paragraph!
