On the first night in Yecheng, the fifth Lun made Zang Nu and others loose on the outside and tighten the inside, and kept the house he lived in tightly. After all, when he thought of the scene when Li Yan was easily stabbed by a local tyrant, he felt the chill was so cold.

Wu Lun didn't want to get such a knife one day, so he planned to write the Ximen on the list of rebellions and hand it over to Chang'an, so he could do it once and for all.

Wu Lun did not make his own decisions quietly, but consulted Geng Chun first. After all, Geng Chun's family is also a powerful man in Julu, Hebei, and he knows the local forces better than him.

As a result, when Geng Chun suddenly heard about this, he immediately objected: "I advise Bo Yu not to write this in his memorial to the emperor, otherwise it may not be the one who suffers in the end, but you may be!"

Geng Chun told Di Wulun something he didn't know: "The Ximen family was born after Ximen Bao during the reign of Marquis of Wei Wen. They had a deep root in the local tree and were loved by the people. Not only Wei Cheng Dahao, but some people could speak in the court."

"Boyu still remembers the story I told when I first met at Lang Office?"

About double yolk eggs and the auspiciousness?

Geng Chun nodded: "Yes, at that time, there was a alchemist named Ximen Junhui wandering between Yanzhao and being a guest in my house. He was the concubine's son of the Ximen clan. Now Ximen Junhui has been valued by Wang She, the general of the Zhidao Gongwei, and regarded it as the commander of the teacher. If you want to move the Ximen clan, Ximen Junhui can make an apology to the emperor through the General of the Wei."

General Wei was one of the four generals. Wang She was still trusted by Wang Mang and was one of the few people in the Wang family who had a good fortune. With this mountain on his back, the Ximen family really didn't have to be afraid of any chief officials in the border area.

Secondly, Li Yan's affairs were indeed the first to be reported by the Ximen family. The governor of Jizhou could testify, and he also stopped Li Yan from scheming in the capital day. He was still a hero.

The fifth reunification only relies on his own words to force the Ximen family to be rebellious. It is too far-fetched. The five powers of the matter are in charge. If the lawsuit is fought, who will Chen Chong and Kongren help? In addition, General Wang She, the general of the Wei Dynasty, said Xiang, it is not certain who loses and who wins.

Geng Chun said: "What's more, even if the emperor allows you to destroy the Ximen family, who will rely on to destroy it? The Ximen family has communicated with princes and princes, and has surpassed the power of officials to benefit each other. The county soldiers all listened to his family, and their children and relatives are all over the county, so if they are fewer than a few thousand people, they may not be able to take it down."

If the local tyrants can be easily destroyed by 2,000 stones, they were also bullied by the Geng clan of Julu in the past, why were they alive without hesitation?

What's more, the court is now in decline and its troops are in short supply. It is unlikely that it will send an army specifically. The fifth reunion wants soldiers but no soldiers and only one Ma Yuan, so it still has to rely on the help of the neighboring county. But looking at the attitude of the subordinates of Zhiting County and the Ximen clan, will these guys who are no different from mercenaries take advantage of the powerful and kill themselves with their backhand?

Or ask for help from the Grand Tutor Xi Zhongjingshang, who was suppressing thieves in Yanzhou? However, Jingshang's army was indulging in the military. He heard that the military discipline was worse than that of Ruchen and Dong Xi during the Northern Expedition. He gave him an excuse to come to the wealthy Weicheng County to fight for the autumn wind. It was like opening the sheep pen and letting the wolf in. The fifth relationship would be a great sinner.

"Two evils are the least. Compared to kneeling down to welcome the king's army and letting him slaughter, I might as well close the door with the powerful and play by myself."

The fifth relationship is as good as the flow of good deeds. According to Geng Chun's words, he gave up the idea of ​​tearing his face with Ximen to the death.

"Since the fight cannot be done."

"Then let's change the writing fight!"

...

The next day, the fifth reunion arrested Li Yan, and the first thing he did after taking office was to go out of the city to worship Ximen Bao Temple.

Ximen Bao Temple is located on the bank of Zhangshui. Four hundred years ago, this river was not as calm and tame as it is now, but was extremely surging, so it was because of the fact that He Bo married his wife. Ximen Bao ruled Ye, joined the witch and the three elders, and went to the river right, ending this bad habit.

Then Ximen Bao sent people to dig twelve canals to lure Zhang water into the fields. After the diverting, the Zhang water was no longer unruly. The water in the twelve canals was turbid and silted, which could silt and fertilize fields, increase yield and improve soil quality. This allowed more than 10,000 hectares of fertile fields around Yecheng to be irrigated, and Wei land was rich.

After Ximen Bao's death, the people of Ye built the Ximen Bao's Temple in the place where he controlled the water.

However, it is sad that Ximen Bao was also a fighter who broke the superstition back then. Now many superstitious activities in Ye are revolving around the Ximen Bao Temple. Ximen Bao has replaced He Bo, who married at that time, and has become a local god. The incense is endless, and the great god outside the temple is dancing happily.

Ximen Bao used to throw the three elders into the river, and it was considered to suppress local forces. Now his descendants have reproduced here for four hundred years and have transformed into the most powerful tyrant in Weicheng County, reaching a level of over 2,000 stones.

I don’t know whether this is the story of a dragon slayer turning into an evil dragon.

He only knew that he was indeed respectful to Ximen Bao from the bottom of his heart. After entering the temple, he presented a sacrifice and said, "Alas, Ximen Bao was appointed as the commander of Ye in the past, and has been able to benefit from water. The people have given him enough wealth and are famous all over the world. He has been in the future and has been invincible for the time being. He can be called a wise doctor!"

Sacrifice to his temple is not only to send a friendly signal to the Ximen family to ease the relationship between the two parties, but also to please the local people. As far as the fifth reunion knows, they are extremely respectful of Ximen Bao. The scepter in the hands of the fifth reunion, the seal on the waist, and the emperor's appointment are all useless to ordinary people. For two hundred years, they have identified a deadly principle:

"The two thousand stones in Wei land must be recognized by Doctor Ximen first!"

Otherwise, it would be difficult to even gain a foothold, let alone do things.

So after the fifth reunion came out of the temple, he announced his first decree: "I will invest in the erecting of a stele outside the Ximen Bao Temple, so that the achievements of Ximen Dafu will be engraved on the stone forever."

These "good intentions" actions of the fifth family made the Ximen family slightly lower their guard. Ximen Ping, who served as the official of Gongcao, thanked the fifth family for his generation, and also fulfilled the Ximen family's promise.

"Dayin, the autumn harvest has arrived. I will pay taxes in August and rent in September. The subordinates will definitely urge the fight to do their best, and it will not be delayed!"

This is what makes people shocked: Wei Chenggang experienced a seemingly planned rebellion, and dozens of Li Yan and his gangsters were arrested, and Cao Cao in Yecheng was almost empty.

However, the Ximen family can guarantee that this year's autumn harvest and rent and taxes can be collected smoothly, and that the fifth reunion will definitely complete his plan as the county magistrate's KPI. Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

In other words, whether there is Li Yan or the county magistrate has nothing to do with it. Wei Cheng's officialdom still operates normally under the leadership of the Ximen family. After all, the two thousand stones flowing, and the iron-killing official Ximen is a man.

If the Fifth Reun had just come, the Simmons looked at him and asked for taxes and rents, there would definitely be frequent problems. Maybe he could make a civil war for the Fifth Reunion, and then rely on the General Wang of the Guard in the court to make him get out quickly.

What made the fifth reunion even more uncomfortable was that from this activity of worshiping Ximen Bao, he found that the Ximen family inherited the legacy of their ancestors and had a high reputation in Wei and was loved by the people. The county magistrate who was rotated every few years was not as good as the Ximen family.

From the observations of Geng Chun and Ma Yuan over time, we can see that the Ximen family is very similar to the fifth relationship. They are kind and generous, support the lonely and widowed, and are even willing to accept some refugees for the government...

From the perspective of moral judgment, the Simon family is definitely the "good powerful" who should be named on the list of fifth ties.

But if you stand at the level of interest, you can understand it like this: "Those who support me are such a powerful man."

"The one who opposes me is the bad guy!"

After reaching the position of Two Thousand Stones and controlling a county, the boundary between good and bad is beginning to become blurred.

What is right and what is wrong? You have to think carefully about the fifth relationship in the future.

Seeing the Fifth Reun frowning and thinking, Geng Chun thought that he was still afraid of the Simen family, so he whispered to give the Fifth Reun an idea.

"In fact, if Boyu wants to cooperate with the Simen family, there is a way. In the past, some 2,000-stone first took office in Julu, it has been tried and tested."

"What's the solution?"

"Marriage." Geng Chun smiled with bad intentions: "You already have a wife, but you can marry a concubine of the Ximen family. In this way, you will become relatives with Ximen, and your interests will be tied together, making it much easier to act."

What a joke, is my fifth reunion like that? I really hesitated for a moment, but...

He also knew that Geng Chun was making trouble, and the two looked at Ma Yuan, don’t forget that the fifth reunion brought his father-in-law to the post.

If Ma Yuan ran away, he would not be able to recover the losses given to the fifth reunion, one hundred Simen.

What's more, the fifth reunion was still a little dissatisfied. If he compromised and gave in so easily, he acted with the mighty and became their puppet puppet, it would be a shame for time travelers.

"It's right to join if you can't win."

Wu Lun said intimately: "But I want to fight again, and finally let the current affairs person join me, not the other way around!"

...

The ideal of the fifth ethics is quite good, but the reality is indeed very skinny.

In mid-August, the late Jizhou Prime Minister and the deputy general manager of Jizhou finally arrived in Weicheng County and completed the handover procedures with the Fifth Reunion. The deputy general manager of the Wuweisi Office and the officials of the Wuweisi Office escorted Li Yan and Yan Chun back to Chang'an together.

As the soldiers from Zhiting County were sent away by "rituals", after Geng Chun brought more than a hundred cavalry to return north, the fifth reunion suddenly discovered that after the tide receded, the person who was swimming naked was himself!

The fifth reunification realized the difficulty of the airborne county magistrate. Although he relied on the Shangshu to kill Ma Jian and executed dozens of Li Yan's iron-core gangsters, killing the gate of Yecheng, and hanging his head to the top of the city to create terror to intimidate the little girl. But the powerful people respected him on the surface, but in fact they probably didn't take it seriously - do they have few such scenes?

Wu Lun couldn't help but complain to Ma Yuan: "My father-in-law is here, the current situation is that my government orders will not leave Yecheng."

I wanted to get Ma Yuan's comfort or advice, but Ma Yuan directly gave him a blow: "Boyu looks down on him too much."

Ma Yuan said: "Looking at the city, the county soldiers guarding the city gates are all from the military officers to the soldiers. Who can listen to your orders? Will the people of Yecheng suddenly love you because you arrested Li Yan, who had been in power for ten years?"

Wu Lun laughed in silence: "So, I am not leaving the county government now?"

"Boyu is so proud."

Geng Chun also joined in to finish the fight, gestured outside the door, and lowered his voice: "The officials in the county were divided into Cao's affairs. The leader of Gongcao was the master of the army, and the Ximen family held the right to advance and advance to officials. The powerful army was the master of the thief Cao, who could train troops to protect the county and arrest thieves, and the Wu'an Li family was responsible for it."

"In all the other cadres, in important positions, there are powerful children from various counties. They are in common and in-laws, and they only think that the county magistrate is a puppet, and they respect you in public for two thousand stones, and secretly treat you as a Huangkou son."

"That's right."

Ma Yuan stretched out his little finger and gestured at the small hall in a small space, revealing the cruel truth: "Boyu, although you are two thousand stones now, in fact, the government orders cannot leave this small room at all!"
