There was a small episode when I asked Zhou Shaoliang to order Handan to order Zhou Shaoliang.

Le Cheng's people went directly to Zhou Shaoliang's Handan Ling Mansion, but they were idle because Zhou Shaoliang was visiting his brother Zhou Shaofen's mansion at this moment.

So the people from Le Cheng simply went to Zhou Shaofen's mansion again.

Then, Zhou Shaofen, the Shangqing of Zhao State, took his younger brother Handan, to the residence of Le Cheng.

After learning about the situation, Zhou Shaoliang's eyes flashed a little, and his expression was obviously embarrassed: "Master Sima, it's not that I don't want to help you, but in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of migrant populations in Handan, and there are only one thousand yamen runners in Handan, which is really beyond the reach."

When Le Cheng heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy and his tone was not very happy: "Does Handan Ling refuse to help with this little busy?"

Zhou Shaoliang is still waiting to speak, but his brother Zhou Shaofen spoke first: "The Grand Sima is right, brother Zhong, when you go back, you will immediately launch all the yamen runners in the Handan government office, and immediately search for those who spread rumors in Handan City and arrest and imprisonment, and see what the main messenger behind them is behind them!"

Faced with his brother's words, Zhou Shaoliang naturally had to nod his head obediently, immediately left Lecheng's mansion, and went to Handan's government to arrange personnel.

Le Cheng then smiled and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Zhou Qing is righteous, I owe you a favor in this matter!"

Zhou Shaofen laughed and said, "Sir Sima Yan is so serious. You and I will definitely support each other as ministers in the future.

By the way, should I notify Wen Xinjun of this matter?"

Le Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't tell Wen Xinjun first, so as not to think that I can't even solve this rumor."

What Le Cheng was afraid of was not because Lin Xiangru was looked down upon by Lin Xiangru, but because the empress dowager behind Lin Xiangru! Therefore, Le Cheng planned to solve this problem as small as possible, without using the power of Lin Xiangru or the empress dowager, which could also prove Le Cheng's strength! Zhou Shaofen nodded to express his understanding and asked, "Do you need someone to do it here?"

Le Cheng smiled and said, "No need, no need to worry."

If it were not forbidden, Le Cheng would not even want to use the staff of Handan Government Office, let alone the people from Zhou Shaofen.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Zhou Shaofen said goodbye and left.

After returning to his mansion, Zhou Shaofen summoned his most trusted confidant and whispered his soft advice.

"You go and notify there and say that Le Cheng has taken the bait!"

However, after receiving Le Cheng's request and brother Zhou Shaofen's instructions, he returned to the Handan Government Office and immediately summoned all the runners in the Handan Government Office and issued an order.

"I heard that many people in the market have promoted the benefits of Pang Yan in the past few days, specifically saying that Grand Sima Lecheng is not. Do you know what this is?

This is a troublemaker! Now our mansion orders you to set off immediately, arrest all those who dare to ramble and throw them into prison!"

After hearing this order, the yamen runners couldn't help looking at each other.

Zhou Shaoliang said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Go!"

An experienced yamen runner couldn't help but say, "Mr., the rumors in Handan City spread quite quickly. It can be said that most people are spreading rumors unconsciously. If they catch people, they will be very involved."

Zhou Shaoliang said impatiently: "If you want to say such words, just tell the Grand Sima! Think about it with your own mind, who is behind the Grand Sima?

That's someone that I don't dare to offend. What are you still questioning here? Is it because I'm not alive?"

Many yamen runners then understood.

Love is the order of the Queen Mother! Who dares to disobey the order of the Queen Mother?

Many yamen runners left immediately.

In a tavern in Handan City, everyone was excitedly talking about the hot topics in recent days.

"Have you heard of it?

The reason why Pang Nuan never beat Le Cheng when he recommended it was not because Le Cheng had stronger abilities, but because Le Cheng betrayed Wu Xinjun's interests to Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru, so he received the full help from Wen Xinjun and eventually became the Grand Sima!"

"Yes, let me tell you. At that time, Pang Nuan in the hall actually said Le Cheng speechlessly, but Le Cheng... Hehe, I won't say much about what everyone understands."

"It is said that Le Cheng knelt outside Wen Xinjun's mansion for a day and a night before Wen Xinjun accepted him. Such a traitor is really hateful!"

This is the rumor, and as it spreads, it changes its flavor and becomes more and more exaggerated.

An old middle-aged man coughed and said to several young men who were discussing the matter loudly on the table next to him: "Young people, it is better to discuss less national affairs, so as not to cause trouble."

Hearing the words of the mature man, several young men couldn't help laughing: "Sir, we are scholars in the palace, so what if we talk about state affairs?

Who can do what we do?"

"That's right, isn't the reason why the Academy was established to let us speak freely about state affairs?"

"Yes, yes, we are working hard in the academy to serve Zhao in the future. If we don't let us discuss these things, how can we serve Zhao who know nothing in the future?"

The young faces of the scholars were filled with confidence.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, and then a team of yamen runners rushed in.

The leading old yamen runner's eyes were sharp, and he directly locked on these young scholars in the academy who had just talked about it: "You are just spreading rumors here and attacking Lord Zhao, Sima Lecheng?"

Several scholars from the academy were stunned at first, then a leader stood up and said proudly: "That's right! Le Cheng does everything for his official position. We are about to rush him..." With a bang, the old yamen runner directly punched the speaker in the face, blocking all the words behind him back.

The yamen runners rushed forward and instantly took down all the scholars.

The old yamen runner sternly said: "Take them all back and take them to the Handan prison, and have a good interrogation to see who they are instructed!"

Soon, hundreds of people discussing the matter were arrested in various restaurants and restaurants in Handan City.

The originally empty Handan prison became overcrowded for a moment.

Handan Order Zhou Shaoliang was also injected with chicken blood and kept interrogating.

Many of the arrested people were scholars from the academy.

Whether it is Wu Xinjun, Zhao Kuo or Pang Nuan, they are regarded as "his own people" by scholars in the Academy, so they will naturally stand by Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan to criticize Le Cheng very much. It is not surprising that young people are prone to impulsiveness, and it is not surprising that they are scolded and then arrested.

Suddenly, Xunqiu, the high priest of the school, could not sit still. He immediately brought several priests to Handan Prefecture to negotiate with Zhou Shaoliang, hoping that Zhou Shaoliang could release these scholars from the school.

However, Zhou Shaoliang did not give Xunqiu face at all and refused hard: "Xunqing, this matter was arranged by the superiors. Not to mention that you came to me to plead with me, even if Wu Xinjun came in person, this mansion would not be able to give him such face!"

Xunqiu, who had hit a nail, left Handan Mansion angrily.

The several priests who followed Xunkui were anxious. Many of their disciples were arrested.

A priest hurriedly said, "Xun Qing, you have to think of a solution!"
