Number of People

  Chapter 39 A-character scroll political fledgling, groping forward

  Feng Ziying realized that her previous thinking was still too simple.

  The reason why he felt confident about this was largely due to the fact that Chen Jingxuan was the commander-in-chief of water transportation.

  According to his understanding, the governor of water transport is in charge of the daily affairs of water transport, and the chief officer of water transport should be in charge of the soldiers, even including the personal barracks of the governor of water transport. Unexpectedly, the chief officer of water transport in the Great Zhou Dynasty turned out to be a worthless post.

  Chen Jingxuan, who lacked the right to speak, was unwilling to take the risk of offending Li Sancai even if he wanted to. This was also a big mistake of his own.

This is the result of not being very familiar with the operating regulations in the current political system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the fact that the patrol censor can actually restrict the governor of the water transport, and even influence the actions of the governor of the water transport to a certain extent. This is another unexpected accident.

  Chen Jingxuan is unwilling to show up, so how to break through? My life is saved now, but the purpose is still far away.

   Ask Li Sancai directly?

  Will Li San take care of himself?

   Even if I met myself, so what?

   I'm afraid I'll get rid of myself with just a few words. If you want to win the other party's heart, you have to "alarmist".

   In addition, how can Qiao Yingjia not obstruct it?

  Qiao Yingjia's role as the patrolling censor means that he has a lot of ability to stumble, but doing things is not his scope of responsibility. He is more of a supervisory authority.

   In a word, he may not have much power to do things by himself, but he can make you fail to do things. In short, there is not enough success and more than failure.

  I heard that Li Sancai is also a fastidious person, living in a house and supporting his body, and his daily life is quite extravagant, but Qiao Yingjia should keep an eye on him very closely, because of this, the two formed such a deadlock.

  But Li Sancai is a courageous person who dares to do things, so if you want him to make a move, you must have enough incentives, or motivation.

There are three warehouses in the inner city of Linqing, which are the most important places for grain storage and transportation. Regardless of whether there is grain in the warehouses, once they are destroyed, it will affect the grain transportation and storage this year. This should be regarded as a reason, but is this possible? Let Li Sancai be tempted?

  Of course there are hundreds of soldiers in the inner city, but given the current attitude of the civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty towards this kind of soldiers, I am afraid that they have not paid attention to them at all, and it is not worth mentioning.

The most important thing is that this gang of gangsters has never launched an attack on the inner city, but only focused on looting the outer city, so the reason why the Sancang may be destroyed is a bit far-fetched, but it can also be said that it is really necessary to wait until the bandits attack the inner city , it is too late, the key lies in whether Li Sancai accepts this statement.

If the possibility of religious bandits entering the city is ruled out, how to suppress and exterminate these religious bandits is precisely not the responsibility of Li Sancai, the governor of water transportation, but the responsibility of the battalions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Shandong Capital Division, or Linqing Bingbeidao governs the duties of the Guards Army.

   After much calculation, Feng Ziying failed to figure out a more suitable method.

   When leaving Chen Jingxuan's place, Feng Ziying also begged the other party to help him discuss this matter, but Feng Ziying was not sure.

  This person is also a veteran who has been in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. How could he easily offend others? It is definitely impossible to send charcoal in a timely manner, but it is possible to add icing on the cake.

   That is to say, if Li Qiao and Li Qiao are at a stalemate, or Li Sancai is still unable to make up his mind for a while, maybe the other party will help, and there is nothing else to count on.

  Zuo Liangyu watched Feng Ziying eat the cage cake and mutton very slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face, knowing that the other party was thinking about something, so he didn't dare to disturb, and quietly drank the noodle soup.

  For Zuo Liangyu, the experience of these two days was really thrilling and exciting.

  To be honest, he is not very afraid of bandits.

  A young man who hangs out on the pier like him knows some people, whether it is Lifu on the pier, or the householders in Weijia Hutong, or even the kiln workers outside the city.

As for the preaching bandits, he also roughly knew that these people were not as scary as he imagined. The kiln workers outside the city, the weavers in the city, and even the Lifu on the docks were actually people from the Naluo Sect. Some officials are aware of this situation.

  Everyone turns a blind eye and closes one eye. As long as no major incidents are caused, everything will be fine.

But it was different this time. No one thought that Uncle Wang and the others originally wanted to make a fuss to make that Eunuch Chang, who was so eager to eat his own flesh, restrained, but the people from Luojiao got involved. Obviously, many of them are congregants from outside the city or even from other places, and the violent momentum shown is unprecedented, almost openly raising the flag to rebel.

  Especially seeing that the entire Linqing City was out of control under the rampage of these violent and uncontrollable religious mobs.

The guards and cao troops in the inner city did not dare to go out of the city, but this time they came out to report for help, seeing Brother Feng's expression did not seem to be going well, which made Zuo Liangyu feel a little unbelievable, could it be that the officers and soldiers just watched With the fall of Linqing City, everyone is still leisurely here and doesn't care, and even refuses to send troops to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos?

Zuo Liangyu's small brain must still not understand what's the problem here, but a seed of doubt has been unknowingly planted deep in his heart, it seems that the government is not as trustworthy as he first imagined up.

"Erlang, take this name card to the Shanshan Guild Hall and find a manager surnamed Chu, um, temporarily borrow three hundred taels of silver." Finally, Feng Ziying made up her mind to give it a try, even though she knew it would be very difficult. , but if you don’t try it and just sit and wait for these people to argue here, I’m afraid that in three or five days, you will have to collect their bodies for them.

   "Huh? Shall I go?" Zuo Liangyu was surprised, happy and worried, three hundred taels of silver? ! He had never touched five taels of silver before, but he suddenly asked himself to take three hundred taels of silver, which made him a little unbelievable, "Brother, can I do it?"

"If you don't try it, how do you know that you can't do it? That deacon Wang gave it to me. I don't have time. I want to meet someone first. You go to the Shanshan Guild Hall to find that steward Chu. Well, prepare three hundred Two silver, and then ask him to take you to the best antique shop in Dongchang Mansion to wait for me, and I will come to you."

Relying on the status of the former chief soldier of Datong Town and the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, Feng Ziying still managed to get some help from Wang Shaoquan. For some reason, the Shanshan Food Gang did not dare to have too much contact with Li Sancai, maybe There is Qiao Yingjia's reason, but for Feng Ziying, this is not a problem.

   "But brother, I..." Zuo Liangyu only felt that his body was hot and cold, and the pancake in his hand was squeezed into a ball without knowing it.

"Why, you can't find the Shanshan Guild Hall, and you still dare not meet people? Don't you boast that you have run through this Dongchang mansion several times? I don't know, don't you open your mouth to ask?" Feng Ziying was not polite, "Let you go Seeing people is not for you to go to the execution ground, what are you afraid of? Are you so afraid of meeting people?"

"No, brother, I'll go!" Excited by Feng Ziying, Zuo Liangyu's black face flashed a blush, she straightened her chest, stuffed the cage cake into her mouth, and took the name card Feng Ziying handed to him. He put it in his arms heavily, "Brother, then I'll wait for you."

   "Yes." Feng Ziying also took a deep breath and stood up, "Shopkeeper, pay the bill."

  No way, this is the only way now. I miscalculated the situation, and now I have to take a risk.

   Now Feng Ziying is extremely eager to have someone who understands the current situation in the water transport yamen to help her introduce the plan.

Although Chen Jingxuan also said something, it was obvious that the friendship was not enough, it was impossible to tell him some deep-seated things, and his age was indeed hard to be trusted, Feng Ziying could only figure out many things by herself .

Even if he has decades of experience as an official in his previous life, many things about being an official have not changed fundamentally throughout the ages, but he has a good understanding of the current administrative system of Da Zhou, especially the specific administrative power yamen. The various modes of operation are really not very clear, so he really has no idea about many things, he doesn't know how to start, and he can only touch them blindly.

   Gotta try it out.
