The Wei family saw that they were right, but Xu Huang knew nothing about it. Wei Xuan briefly explained to Xu Huang the results of his discussion with his clan members last night and his worries.

Although Xu Huang had been mentally prepared, he was a little disappointed to hear that the prefect might have done nothing. However, the next day Xu Huang followed Wei Xuan to the prefect's mansion to meet with the prefect Yin De.

Today is the day when the prefect Yin De ascends the hall to discuss matters. Except for the outgoing county magistrate, the county soldier Sima, and the southern postal supervisor, most of the officials of the prefecture have arrived.

Xu Huang was not qualified to appear on such an occasion, but today Wei Xuan had important matters to present to the prefect, and it was also the first time since he recommended Xu Huang to the prefect's mansion, so he stood behind Wei Xuan.

It seems that under Wei Su's care, Wei He did not delay the furniture in the court hall of the prefect's mansion, and now everyone has a chair to sit on.

After everyone had arrived, the prefect Yin De, accompanied by Wang Huan, entered the hall from the back. He glanced around the hall and frowned when he saw Wei Xuan holding a lot of bamboo slips in his hands.

But he soon greeted him with a smile: "Zhongdao is back. How was your harvest during this trip to the county?"

The prefect asked, and Wei Xuan could only stand up and bow to Yin De and replied: "Your Majesty, it is clear that Xuan's sightseeing tour this time is really shocking. The specific announcement has been reported to the Lord many times before. Today's announcement

I also brought a lot of county diaries and asked the governor and princes to read them."

The commander of the camp nodded and winked at Wang Huan who was standing aside. Wang Huan quickly walked a few steps to Wei Xuan's side, picked it up and gradually distributed it to Gong Cao, Zhu Bo and others.

Everyone's expressions were similar to those of the Wei family the night before. First they were curious, then shocked. Many people looked in disbelief! Then they gradually became calm.

However, among the subsequent chief officials of Cao Tang, except for the thief Cao Guanqiu Xing who tried to persuade the prefect Yin Detong to make up his mind to rectify the north of the county, only the meritorious Cao Weining and the chief Bo Peisheng argued with each other.

Everyone else persuaded the prefect to govern the county leniently and not to be too extreme.

The prefect Yin De did not want to offend the local county magistrates and the leaders behind them, and he was even less willing to go to war to deal with the local wealthy families. Seeing everyone like this, he said lightly that the governor had worked hard and was ready to take over the matter.

Of course Wei Xuan didn't want to let it go like this. It wasn't because of how hard it was for him, but because the situation in the county was too corrupt. He didn't care that it was his first time to go to court, and he couldn't bear the look on his face. He stood up from his seat and pointed.

The bamboo slips on everyone's desk said: "In the Ming Dynasty, it has become a climate for Taiping Road to penetrate Hedong. The Xiangling massacre is proof. If it is not rectified, Hedong will become the Julu of yesterday, and Anyi will definitely become the Guangzong of yesterday.

!”

Cao Tang Jinliang, who had five senses, curled his lips when he heard this and stood up from his seat, pointed at Wei Xuan and said: "Why should Governor Wei be alarmist? I have been waiting in Hedong for many years, why don't we do it for half a month?"

Wei Xuan was furious. If he could make a vow, he would be willing to bet with this man. However, although this man had no power, his status in the prefecture was relatively high and he was the head of all Cao Citrons. He was clearly relying on his status and age to rely on his elders. Wei Xuan also

What can be said?

Wei Xuan had no choice but to turn to the prefect Yin De and said: "Ming Mansion, what if Xuan discovers clues of rebellion such as Yang Fengna in Xiangling in the future?"

Yin De frowned: "If there is rebellion, I will deal with it decisively."

What Wei Xuan wanted was Wei Xuan's words. Knowing that there would be no progress in renovating the north of the county, he changed the topic: "Xingri County has already mastered enough evidence and asked the Ming government to order various places to do so."

Arrest Guo Tai, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai!"

Wei Xuan thought that if you don't want to touch those county magistrates and the most powerful families who don't want to, it's always okay to order the arrest of a few Taiping Dao leaders. After capturing these people, although there is still a possibility of Taiping Dao uprising, the strange thing is that

The time may be delayed, and the scale may be limited. This can be regarded as one's own responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Yin De still looked unconcerned: "Yang Feng must be arrested. If there is insufficient evidence from others, it is better not to act rashly."

Wei Xuan wished he could just go up and pinch Yin De's neck, asking him, "Do you have to wait until it is a fait accompli like Yang Feng before you are willing to take action?"

Seeing the look from his brother Wei Ning, it was clear that he was trying to calm down, so he breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject again: "Mingfu, Xuan was traveling all the way and found that the people in the north of our county were suffering from drought and floods in spring and summer.

There is almost no harvest, so the government government should purchase grain from other counties to provide disaster relief, otherwise the victims will join Taiping Road one after another and it will be out of control."

The prefect Yin De did not answer directly but looked at Lord Bo Pei Sheng. Pei Sheng had to stand up and said: "Ming Mansion, now we can take three steps. First, we will allocate part of the money from the treasury to Hanoi, and the third assistant will buy grain. If the government

If the treasury is unable to do anything, it can write to the court and ask the court to allocate part of the money and food for disaster relief, and it can also call on the wealthy families in the county to donate."

Jin Liang stood up again and said: "Master Pei, you know the family background of my governor's house best. Not to mention that there are disaster victims all over the Han Dynasty. How much money can we get by writing to the court? Even if the court receives our request, it will raise food and grass non-stop."

I'm afraid it will have to wait until the spring of next year before it can be transported to Anyi. As for calling on wealthy families to donate, aren't the most wealthy families in Hedong the Wei family and your Pei family?"

Wei Xuan couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Are we just going to let Taiping Dao infiltrate and let the victims fall into the arms of Taiping Dao? Do we have to wait until everyone becomes Yang Feng before we even think of taking action?"

Seeing Wei Xuan getting angry, Jin Liang sat down with his hands spread out.

The prefect Yin De lost no time in standing up and talking to Wei Xuan, who was full of anger.

Mail, everyone is coming."

Yin De thought for a while and then said: "I heard that Gong Ming is the brave and brave pioneer of this bandit suppression, so you can come together."

It was the first time for Xu Huang to have the honor to observe the whole process of the prefect's meeting in the palace. When he followed Wei Xuan and walked out of the prefect's house, he sighed: "Duyou, what should I do if this continues? Do you think there will really be an uprising on Taiping Road in the near future?

"

Wei Xuan looked back at the prefect's mansion and said in a low voice: "Back then, Dong Zhongying guarded Hedong and foreigners did not dare to enter, and Taiping Road disappeared. Hey... look at today... I will do my best to obey fate!"

Although everyone was red-faced because of the affairs of the county, everyone was still very happy when the prefect Yin De hosted a banquet in the evening. After all, it was public funds to eat and drink, especially the other chief officials of Cao Tang. Although they were more senior than Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan was

The Ziwei family, and being the core disciples, naturally did not dare to neglect him. Several people who argued with Wei Xuan during the day even wanted to ask Wei Xuan to reconcile at the banquet in the evening.

Wei Xuan had no intention of drinking, and wanted to take advantage of the banquet to persuade Yide. However, Yide immediately said that the guests and guests would have a good time tonight and not talk about business. Wei Ning and Pei Sheng frequently winked at him, and Wei Xuan

He had no choice but to socialize. However, he was not interested in exchanging compliments with these people. Soon he sat in his chair and fell asleep. The prefect glanced at him and said with a smile: "Is the governor drunk?"

Wei Xuanzang felt angry, so he stood up and said with a smile: "I don't dare to get drunk, but I have to get drunk because I am worried about civil affairs!"

Yin De's face was a bit ugly, knowing that Wei Xuan was planning to criticize Sang and Huai, saying that he and others were sensual and careless about the lives of the people, but as a prefect, he couldn't bear to argue with Wei Xuan.

At the critical moment, it was Jin Liang who stood up again: "Wei Inspector, you are the youngest here tonight in terms of seniority, why don't you come and liven up the atmosphere?"

Jin Liang's behavior is also very rude. Although Wei Xuan is junior and should take the initiative, it is not right as a request. Don't forget that Wei Xuan is still the second son of the Wei family.

Wei Xuan rolled his eyes at him and ignored him. He lifted up what was in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. Jin Liang was a little embarrassed but did not dare to get angry, so he said to Maid Yang: "Give the governor a full post!"

After hearing this, the maid quickly helped Wei Xuan fill up the wine glass. Wei Xuan refused to refuse anyone who came and drank several glasses of wine. Now he looked really drunk, or maybe he was crazy because of alcohol. He suddenly came from his seat with a flag.

In the center of the hall, he scanned the crowd and then sang slowly: "Droughts and floods have been frequent in the past few years, and the seedlings that have been chewed have not grown every year.

The price of rice has increased several times, and people are struggling to make ends meet.

The grass roots and leaves fill the belly, and the children croak and cry to each other.

The dust from the cauldron and the cooking pot are flying, and the smoke from the cooking pot disappears. It is difficult to find a meal of porridge for several days.

The government levies food and goes wild, and wealthy families collect debts like wolves and jackals.

The poor man is still breathing, and his soul will be buried in the spring soil first.

Skulls are piled up like mountains all over the place, and we are suffering from hunger due to heavy karma.

Can you not teach people to weep, so that the tears will turn into spots of blood?

I advise wealthy families to help with the relief work. A single grain of mercy in Taicang is boundless.

Dry bones can be reborn after being retaught, so that one thought can touch the world.

Heaven and earth bless good people selflessly, and good people will achieve great virtue and happiness.

Helping the poor and rescuing the needy will make great contributions, and your virtue will bring prosperity to your descendants."

At first everyone thought he was just sighing because he saw the county suffering from the hardship of the people, but in the end it turned out to be a "Relief Song". Jin Liang, who had previously accused Pei Sheng, was filled with shame, while Guan Qiu Xing stood up and looked at Wei.

Xuan, followed by chanting: "I advise the rich to help, Taicang's kindness is boundless."

Wei Ning and Pei Sheng were also infected by Wei Xuan and started singing along: "Withered bones can be reborn after being taught again, so that one thought can touch the world.

Heaven and earth bless good people selflessly, and good people will have great virtues and long-term blessings."

Gradually many people stood up, including Xu Huang, who followed Wei Xuan and chanted repeatedly: "He who helps the poor and the needy has great merits, and his virtue and virtue will bring prosperity to his descendants."

Seeing everyone like this, Wei Xuan felt a little relieved. He looked at the maid next to him, and the maid quickly helped him fill it up again. Wei Xuan drank it all in one gulp and bowed to the prefect Yin De who was in a complicated mood on the throne: "Thank you.

Mr. Fu entertained me, and Xuan drank too much, so I will take my leave."

Yin De saw that he had really drunk a lot and refused to leave him. He waved his hand and motioned to Wang Huan to see the guest off. When the others saw that Wei Xuan was about to leave, they all stood up and bowed. Seeing this, Xu Huang quickly confessed to the prefect and then stepped forward to help him up.

Wei Xuan.
