Chapter 1666 Xue Lan’s Roar


    Shen Yi is very thin.


    Although Shen Yi is about the same age as Pang Tong, if he stands with Pang Tong, Pang Tong can at least equal Shen Yi. So when Shen Yi waved his thin arms and accused Pang Tong of being a corrupt official, many people looked at him with eyes. Look, if you think about it in your mind, you will basically believe Shen Yi''s words.


    ?These days, there are still people who don’t have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm, and then I see Pang Tong with his swollen belly...


    ?Hmm~o(*￣▽￣*)oHe must be a corrupt official and he didn’t run away!


    ??Amidst the noise around him, Shen Yi shouted loudly, and then looking at Pang Tong''s gloomy face, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.


    Shen Yi is from Kuaiji. She lost her father when she was nine years old. She has always been dependent on others. After she grew up a little, she began to travel around the country. Later, she went to Yingchuan, then to Xiangyang, and then to Chang''an, originally thought that Pang Tong would pay some attention to the famous assassin he delivered, but unexpectedly, it was as silent as the stone sinking into the sea...


    In fact, I can''t blame Pang Tong. It''s not that Pang Tong is arrogant or disrespectful to the virtuous corporal, but because some time ago, the cavalry general Fei Qian found that his territory was now larger, and all kinds of birds flew in, in order to prevent the destruction of some hostile forces. , or due to the leakage of intelligence, the login of officials with unknown origins was temporarily stopped, and the officials were appointed after being investigated first.


    Although Shen Yi has been to Xiangyang and Yingchuan, how could Pang Tong easily grant any official position to such a person without a thorough investigation? In addition, he was indeed very busy during this period, so it was reasonable that he did not pay attention to Shen Yi''s reputation.


    But Shen Yi didn''t think so. He thought he had been insulted! I patiently offered my assassination to Pang Tong, who looked like a corrupt official, but this guy actually dared to ignore me!


    ??What a tolerable uncle...


    ?So, at this moment, Shen Yi''s gaze towards Pang Tong was somewhat mixed with a look of pleasure, telling you to ignore Yu Mou in the first place! Now, it''s too late!


    Shen Yi didn''t think it was a big deal to confront Pang Tong. These days, it is politically correct to criticize officials. The emperor is the emperor, and the emperor cannot do anything wrong. So if something happens, it will of course be an issue with the officials above the court and at the grassroots level. On behalf of the vast number of people, slandering officials is a thing that can increase the Qing Dynasty. Reputation, build enough reputation, and show that you are not afraid of the powerful!


    Even if you can''t be an official now, it will be beneficial in the future...


    Didn’t you look at the great sages who had great reputations in the country before? Didn’t that one repeatedly refuse to be recruited by public transportation, and then the state and county politely invited them, and the three governments handed over the government, and each one was given a bigger and better official position?


    As a result, Shen Yi became more and more proud, jumping around like a male monkey who had been robbed of the peach in his hand. His face and buttocks turned red. He didn''t know whether it was because of excitement or because his robe was too thin. Some trembled slightly.


    Above the roadside restaurant.


    "That''s enough!" Du Ji said in a deep voice as he watched the situation in the street getting worse and worse, "Up to this point, there is still room for maneuver! Brother Wei, don''t make any mistakes!"


    Wei Duan held the wine glass, glanced sideways, and sat back down again. After a moment of silence, he said: "This matter is not one person''s business... What''s more, if the target is on the string, it has to be fired..."


    The fine tradition of coercing public opinion to oppress and then achieve one''s own goals is also the same, and it has been the same at all times and in all countries, just like the so-called extortionists in the name of loving dogs in later generations...


    Even if Wei Duan is not doing it for others, he must do it for himself. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hussars General Fei Qian''s territory is now expanding and he is in urgent need of all kinds of talents to fill the place. Whether it is Guanzhong or Sichuan and Shu, there are more than ten prefects from various places. How can such a big and fat pit be filled? How many of them don’t have Guanzhong people?


    ?How can we show the energy of the Guanzhong gentry if we don''t start a fight and then appease the people''s anger?


    ?So this matter is no longer Wei Duan''s alone, but a way to show his muscles and strength to the hussar general.


    "But don''t worry, Bohou..." In this situation, Wei Duan stopped hiding and lowered his voice and said in a very low voice, "This matter is also appropriate. It is limited to Pang Shiyuan... and will not provoke Piao. ride…"


    Wei Duan thought that Du Ji was afraid that the situation would escalate and provoke General Fei Qian, so he made a special explanation to reassure Du Ji. However, Du Ji shook his head and sighed: "Pang Shiyuan and General Hussar have classmates." Zhiyi...How could this matter be so simple? I''m afraid it''s a trap..."


    Wei Duan''s heart skipped a beat and he frowned and said, "But it was General Hussar who asked Pang Shiyuan to become an official!"


    There were also some minor officials from Guanzhong in the yamen of General Hussar. The news from these officials at that time was that General Fei Qian of Hussar ordered Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan to submit a letter to appoint him as an official. Isn''t this attitude obvious enough?


    Du Ji just shook his head, then sat down, also picked up a glass of wine, and said: "Now that I have said this, if Brother Wei is still obsessed with it... You and I have been friends for many years, and this is the end..."


    After saying that, he raised the wine cup to salute Wei Duan, drank it all, placed it heavily on the table, then walked away and went downstairs...


    “Bohou! Bohou…”


    Wei Duan raised his hand to greet him, but when he saw that Du Ji didn''t even look back, he couldn''t help but feel a little angry. He threw the wine cup on the table, but he accidentally knocked over a bean plate with a clang, and the dishes rolled down on the table. On top of the floor, there was quite a mess.


    The guard outside the door heard the sound, and as soon as he stretched out half his head, Wei Duan scolded him back. Anyway, after being disturbed by Du Ji, Wei Duan had no intention of drinking. He stood up with a frown and moved to the window. But this time, the high spirits just now are gone...


    ??Is it really a deception thrown by the Cavalry General?


    But the question is, if you don’t try it, how can you know whether it is true or false?


    "Here comes..." Wei Duan pondered for a moment, and finally ordered, "Let Kang''er come back immediately!"


    ? No matter what, let’s remove my family members from this matter first. Anyway, the testing actions have been arranged, and it’s almost time to change the course...


    "You are so guilty! You dare not reveal it to the public!" Shen Yi raised her arms and shouted, "You will definitely hide the people''s wealth! You should expose it to the sun!"


    ?Suddenly, someone echoed loudly, and then clamored the people to move forward together, trying to tear off the felt, hemp ropes, etc. covering Pang Tong''s vehicle. Pang Tong''s accompanying guards naturally stepped forward to stop him. In the street, among the chaotic crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "Pang Tong''s guards are committing murder! Help! Pang Tong''s guards are committing murder!" The crowd was in an uproar, and then they couldn''t help but give way, revealing a piece of clothing. The man came with a broken face, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and blood dripping from his mouth and nose. He was pointing at Pang Tong''s guards and yelling with grief and anger, "I was beaten by Pang Tong''s guards!"


    Pang Tong chuckled and almost laughed. He quickly covered it with his hands, causing his fat face to turn red. Damn, I''m looking for someone who is not professional. He looks miserable, but he is obviously a member of the noble family. If he were an ordinary person, he would be jumping around and scolding his mother now. How can he say something polite about Pang''s work? beat…


    Pang Tong tried hard not to laugh, his fat face was dark and red, but he didn''t expect it to be more effective, making others feel that Pang Tong was guilty, suppressing his anger and not daring to show up, he suddenly became more courageous, and someone rushed forward. , crying and expressing that the Ponzi guards were acting tyrannically, and asked someone to come forward to deliver justice.


    “What’s so noisy!”


    Immediately there was a sound outside the crowd. After they separated like water, Jing Zhaoyin walked into the crowd with a group of people from Cao Xuelan. He glanced at Pang Tong, whose face was dark and red, and then deliberately As if he couldn''t see, he said with a stern face: "With so many people gathered here, are you causing trouble?"


    The man with a bruised nose and face dripping with blood hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Out of public outrage, I responded to the people''s wishes and inspected Pang''s car dealership to check for corruption. Unexpectedly, I was injured by Pang''s evil slave..."


    "Hey! It turned out to be Pang Shijun''s chariot!" Xue Lan noticed Pang Tong at this moment, and immediately turned around and shouted, "How brave! How dare you collide with Pang Shijun''s chariot and horse! Are you going to die?!"


    Several of the nobles who were supporting the injured immediately cried out for injustice. On the one hand, they said that now that Pang Tong had become an official, he was no longer an "envoy". Naturally, it was not a collision. On the other hand, they also said that this was the public opinion, and he was just acting on behalf of the public opinion. Forget it, how can it be considered daring? Could it be that Xue Lan wanted to protect corrupt officials and ignored public opinion?


    "What? Pang Shijun has already become an official?" As if he had just learned about this, Xue Lan seemed to be persuaded after some words, and said, "The public opinion is so clear, Pang Shijun might as well just accept it." Come on... I don’t know what Pang Shijun’s intention is?”


    Pang Tong glared at Xue Lan and said, "You are so rude! Your position was also promoted by someone! What happened today is that you are going to humiliate someone under the pretense of public opinion?"


    Hmph, who are you scaring? Xue Lan sneered.


    He originally asked Pang Tong just to be on the safe side. After all, if Pang Tong had any other support, he should probably bring it out under such circumstances. However, when he heard that Pang Tong could only reprimand him in words, he could not bring it out. After something substantial came, he naturally calmed down and said, "Pang Shijun is clear! As an official, I should work for the benefit of the people of the world, not just for Pang Shijun''s personal gain! If Pang Shijun If you are selfless to the world, why should you be afraid of exposing yourself to the world? Besides, this person has not plundered Pang Shijun''s property, so why should he be seriously injured? And do it!”


    Pang Tong''s hands trembled, and he pointed at Xue Lan and said: "You...you...all of these people are white, how can they have the right to inspect them! Go quickly, go quickly! Come on, let''s go! Let''s go!" "


    "Wait a minute!" Seeing Pang Tong''s panic, Xue Lan became more determined. She immediately took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice, "It''s true that this person has no power in his white body! However, as a Jingzhao Yin Congcao, he investigates internal organs and corrects evil. It’s our duty to eradicate the traitors! Come and put Pang Shiyuan’s car dealership under inspection to rectify public opinion!”


    "Wait a minute! The carriages are all heavy objects of the county and state, how can we inspect them at will!" Pang Tong shouted, "Xue Congcao, you and I had no enmity in the past, why do you want to do this today?"


    Xue Lan originally heard about the importance of the county, and her heart skipped a beat, but after hearing the second half of Pang Tong''s words, her heart returned to her stomach again, and she replied proudly: "I am not making things difficult for you." , It makes it difficult for you to follow the will of the people! If you want to be magnanimous, you need to know that the way of heaven is clear, and the retribution will be unfavorable! Everyone will punish them!"


    ? Damn it, you''re trying to scare me again. How could I be deceived by your little tricks?


    Xue Lan''s words were righteous, which actually attracted a round of applause from the melon-eating crowd. Naturally, people who eat melons like to beat up drowned dogs the most, so under the guidance of thoughtful people, they still shouted for inspection, and the noise became louder and louder...


    Xue Lan looked at the deep ruts on the road again, and knew clearly in her heart that there must be something heavy in this vehicle. It was probably filled with an unknown amount of gold and silver. Pang Tong just said it again and again. Refusing to accept inspection, because everyone knows that if these gold and silver are really exposed, even if the reward Pang Tongzheng''er received is not corruption, it will be unclear. By that time...


    What''s more, the more Pang Tong blocks it, the more evil he is in his heart!


    Moreover, according to previous discussions, it was decided to make a bigger fuss, and it must be done in full view of the public. Otherwise, President Pang will always have reasons to evade. Only when the matter is confirmed, will it be truly indefensible. The debate left Pang Tong speechless.


    However, Xue Lan also felt a little strange. According to the original plan, at this time some so-called Qingliu bachelors and disciples of the Academy, just like those who "accidentally encountered" the lawless people in the Imperial Academy, should stand up to support, and then Citing scriptures for Xue Lan''s actions, firstly, it can prove the rationality of his actions, and secondly, he can also become famous and increase his reputation. But now these people have not appeared, and I don''t know what is the reason?


    ?However, I can’t care about that much at the moment. Originally, the support from these students was just the icing on the cake. Without these students sharing the profits, it’s not bad that this reputation can be enjoyed exclusively by myself!


    ?So Xue Lan did not wait any longer, and ordered his followers to come forward, preparing to push aside Pang Tong''s guards, pull off the felt covering the vehicle, and understand the matter thoroughly.


    "Xue Zhan!" Pang Tong stopped him again, "It is a serious crime to seize the property of the county without permission from superiors! Don''t make a mistake!"


    Xue Lan said proudly: "I am asking for life for the people! Even if I am guilty, I am willing to do so! Come here! Don''t say too much! Collect the vehicle for inspection!"


    Pang Tong looked around and seemed to think that no one would jump out, so he sipped his teeth, sighed, and said: "Forget it, you... all stand down! Let them be checked!"


    Pang Tong’s sudden attitude changed, causing the original smile on Xue Lan’s face to freeze...


    ?This, isn''t this trying to scare me again?


    But now that we’ve come to this point, we can’t just say sorry and just turn around and leave, right?


    ??So Xue Lan could only bite the bullet and let his men untie the hemp ropes tied to the vehicle, and then pulled off the tightly covered felt cloth...
