The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 10 The First Wave of Attack

Now the price of coarse salt in Zhen'an County has risen to 30 yuan a tael, and a tael of salt is only enough to eat for a few days.

Compared to other places, the price is already high.

This is forcing him to express his opinion.

Song Wei's heart was as bright as a mirror.

"Brother Wu knows how to joke. Coarse salt is now 30 yuan per tael. People in Zhen'an County can no longer afford salt. I didn't ask Brother Wu to lower the price. Brother Wu still wants to increase the price. This is naturally impossible. matter."

Wu Zhenkun frowned after hearing Song Wei's words.

"My lord, you don't want Wu to increase his price?"

Wu Zhenkun sat up straight and said.

"It's natural!"

Song Wei said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, do you know that I have mastered the supply of grain and salt in Zhen'an County. As long as I say a word, the people in Zhen'an County will be unable to afford food and become refugees."

Wu Zhenkun has now torn off his mask, and has no respect for Song Wei.

"I naturally know that if you don't want to die miserably, you can raise the price, and I will follow suit."

Since he wanted to completely break up, Song Wei was no longer polite.

Cai Hu and Liu Ruyan next to Song Wei looked at him in surprise.

Too hard, but so cool!

Wu Zhenkun stared fiercely at Song Wei: "Okay, okay, since that's the case, I don't think you need to stay here anymore, come here! See off the guests!"

Come out from Wu Zhenkun's house.

The three of them were walking on the deserted street, Cai Hu couldn't help but said: "My lord, we have completely torn face with Wu Zhenkun now, Wu Zhenkun will definitely not show mercy, as long as he raises the price of grain and salt, the people in Zhen'an County The people will definitely not be able to afford food, and we will be the ones who will be in trouble."

Song Wei nodded silently. Of course he knew the result, but he also had countermeasures.

Song Wei thought for a while and said to Cai Hu: "Cai Hu, now I want to give you a task."

Cai Hu cupped his hands: "My lord, please tell me."

Song Wei said: "Tonight, I want you to find all the traitors in the yamen. Tomorrow morning, follow my orders and take down all these people. To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. If we want to fight against Wu Zhenkun and others, we here We must work together as one to be impregnable.”

Cai Hu looked at Song Wei in admiration: "Yes, my lord."

Early the next morning, Cai Hu found Song Wei with a list.

"My lord, I can't guarantee that all the traitors in the house are here, but most of them should be there." Cai Hu said to Song Wei.

Song Wei looked at the twenty or so people on the list and nodded: "That's enough, are all your people ready?"

Cai Hu: "It's all ready."

"Okay, you go down first." Cai Hu left.

Liu Ruyan came to Song Wei's side, looked at the people on the list, and looked at Song Wei suspiciously: "What exactly are you planning?"

Song Wei looked up at Liu Ruyan and said with a smile, "You'll know in a while."

An hour later, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the government office.

Cai Hu ran in in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, a large number of people have come to the Yamen to make trouble."

Song Wei raised his eyebrows: "Take me there."

On the way, Song Wei asked: "Has the price of salt gone up?"

Cai Hu nodded: "It has risen to 100 yuan a tael."

Song Wei sneered, "That's all Wu Zhenkun is capable of."

The three came to the gate of the yamen.

The gate of the county government office was locked tightly, and someone outside was pushing the door frantically, and several government servants stood guard at the door.

Liu Ruyan panicked: "What should I do now?"

Song Wei smiled and said: "Wait for the performance! Cai Hu, get your people ready."

Cai Hu nodded, winking at his people.

At this moment, there were forty or fifty yamen servants in the yard, and a dozen or so of them saw Song Wei coming and gave each other winks.

One of them suddenly yelled: "Down with the corrupt official Song Wei, and return the people to a blue sky!"

As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen yamen servants immediately ran to the gate of the county yamen, intending to open the gate of the county yamen from the inside.

Song Wei nodded to Cai Hu: "Do it!"

Cai Hu shouted violently: "Do it!"

All of a sudden, the other yamen servants who had been prepared a long time ago pulled out their sabers and attacked the rebellious yamen servants.

Forty or fifty people fought together in an instant.

Liu Ruyan jumped up and joined the battle group.

Compared with these yamen servants, Liu Ruyan's martial arts is so high that it cannot be higher.

With the addition of Liu Ruyan, all the rebellious government officials were quickly subdued.

Cai Hu complimented: "A grown-up has a clever plan, and a villain admires it."

Song Wei chuckled: "Don't be in a hurry to flatter, the real trouble has not been resolved yet, all these people will be put in prison first."

"Yes!"

The yamen servants took away all the subdued people after saying a word.

Song Wei said to Cai Hu: "Cai Hu, go and open the door."

Cai Hu panicked instantly: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. The people are rioting now. As long as you open the gate, you may hurt your lord."

Song Wei shook his head: "Don't be afraid, as Ruyan and you are here, these people can't hurt me."

Liu Ruyan curled her lips: "I will not protect you, a corrupt official."

Song Wei laughed: "You will protect me, an upright official."

"Cai Hu, open the door!"

Cai Hu had no choice but to nod: "Yes."

The door opened, and the people rushed in.

When several of them saw Song Wei, they immediately shouted: "The corrupt official Song Wei is right there. He is the one who makes us people unable to live anymore. Beat him!"

People flocked to Song Wei.

Song Weiyi was not afraid, and said to Liu Ruyan: "Ruyan, beat those talkative leaders to the ground!"

Liu Ruyan gave Song Wei a blank look, did she regard this girl as her subordinate?

Although she was upset, Liu Ruyan didn't refuse. She flew forward and knocked down several leaders.

The passionate people immediately braked the brakes.

After dismounting, Song Wei took a step forward and shouted to the people: "Besieged the county government by listening to rumors, do you know what crime it is?"

No one dared to speak.

Cai Hu cheered at the side: "It's tantamount to rebellion, punishing the three clans!"

After the words "kill the three tribes" were uttered, fear showed on the faces of the people.

Song Wei glanced at everyone's expressions, and he said: "I also know why you did this, and I also know that you were just instigated by some people, but in the end, your life is still difficult, this is me. The responsibility of the head of a county."

After the beating, Song Wei took everyone's "mistakes" to himself, and the riots in the hearts of the people decreased exponentially.

"Master County Magistrate, we, we really have nothing to do!"

An old man cried bitterly.

The others immediately responded.

Song Wei waved his hand to calm the people down. He said: "I know, I know, I will find a way for you. Here, Song Wei, I promise with this black gauze hat on my head, you give me seven days, after seven days , I, Song Wei, let all of you eat 5 yuan a tael of salt."
