Cai Sichun was very busy when a book clerk squeezed in from outside, came to Cai Sichun and said: "Master Er Yin, there is a man named Zhao Fuxiang outside who wants to see you!"

Cai Sichun thought that Zhao Fuxiang came to him to discuss the affairs of the wealthy family, but now was not the time at all. Cai Sichun was extremely busy and had no time to talk to Zhao Fuxiang. He frowned and said, "What a mess, let him come back in a few days!"

The book clerk did not dare to say anything anymore and quickly withdrew. The original book clerk wanted to go out and inform Zhao Fuxiang but failed, but after feeling the money in his arms, the book clerk decided to try again.

After meeting Cai Sichun for the second time, the clerk said: "Master Er Yin, Zhao Fuxiang has been waiting outside for a long time and said that he has something important to report to the master!"

After hearing this, Cai Sichun cursed Zhao Fuxiang in his heart for being so ignorant. He was so busy, how could he have time to listen to his nonsense? Cai Sichun originally thought about it, but for the sake of his senior brother Zhang Wenming, it was not good to see him, so Cai Sichun had no choice but to agree.

See you before.

The clerk was secretly happy that he finally got the money, so he hurried out and brought Zhao Fuxiang in. After Zhao Fuxiang saw Cai Sichun, before he could say anything, Cai Sichun asked: "Brother Zhao, what's the matter with you? You've seen how busy I am.

Yes, if there is nothing urgent, please come back!"

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Master Cai, the common people are here today to keep your official position!"

The room was originally noisy, but as soon as Zhao Fuxiang said these words, the room immediately became quiet. The office clerks in the room were all smart people. After hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said, they all bowed and left, leaving only a large office in a household.

Next, Zhao and Cai.

When Cai Sichun heard Zhao Fuxiang's alarmist words, he frowned and said, "Brother Zhao, are you exaggerating? Last night was just a conflict between refugees and gangs, and a few people died!"

When Zhao Fuxiang heard what Cai Sichun said, he secretly cursed in his heart. Sure enough, these officials in any era were all evil-hearted. Hundreds of people died last night, but Cai Sichun only said a few people.

"Master Cai, how do you want to deal with what happened last night?"

"The investigation of what happened last night has basically been made clear. The leader of the refugees, Meng Decai, incited the refugees to cause trouble and burned down many houses, resulting in the death of several good people. I have issued a fire warrant to arrest Meng Decai and bring him to justice!"

Zhao Fuxiang had known that Cai Sichun would do this. The reason is very simple. Although both parties are responsible for this matter, the guild is a local snake and has inextricable ties with the government. Therefore, Cai Sichun wants to solve the problem quickly, that is, let him

The refugees created several scapegoats, which not only gave the court an explanation, but also reassured the local people.

In fact, Zhao Fuxiang had long expected that Cai Sichun would do this. It's very simple. Officials are most afraid of emergencies like this, but no one can control such things, so if problems arise again, they should be solved quickly and give a reasonable explanation to the above.

That's the key. As for who is right and who is wrong, the higher-ups won't ask too much. Anyway, those who died were ordinary people who had no right to speak, and no one would really speak for them.

This is what Zhao Fuxiang did when he was an official. If there was a problem, he would solve it as soon as possible. He would not care about right or wrong. He would quickly suppress the matter and talk about it. When his superiors noticed it and saw that the problem had been solved, they might even praise Zhao Fuxiang. As for the problem,

No one cares about the real reason.

Zhao Fuxiang listened to Cai Sichun and smiled, took a chair and sat across from him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, if you do this, you may not be able to keep this city! Of course, you and Mr. Zhou will not be able to keep their official positions! Even in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Even if Governor Shen is willing to come forward, even you can’t!”

The current governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Shen Dilong, who is also a close friend of Huang Daozhou, so Cai Sichun can now sit here in a leisurely manner.

Cai Sichun was not surprised that Zhao Fuxiang knew about this relationship. After all, the relationship between Zhao Fuxiang and Zhang Wenming was here. Cai Sichun frowned and asked: "Brother Zhao, what do you have to say?"

"Master Cai, the common people are trying to save you! Do you think it's all over if you use Meng Decai as a scapegoat? The grudges between the refugees and the locals are not forged in a day or two. You can chop off Meng Decai's head now, but you will definitely anger the refugees. If you are If someone instigates someone, those refugees will immediately rush into the city and kill you. If this really happens, even if Mr. Shen is protecting Mr. Cai from behind, the worst case scenario is that you will be dismissed from office and exiled!"

Cai Sichun was not a fool. After hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said, he snorted coldly: "Humph, you have a heart? I'm afraid it's not you!"

Yesterday, Zhao Fuxiang said that he wanted to take advantage of the refugees, and something like this happened last night. Now that Zhao Fuxiang has come to intercede for Meng Decai, it is very clear who is behind it.

Zhao Fuxiang did not deny it and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai, originally the grassroots people just wanted the refugees to join the boat gang to vent their anger. But you know that the two parties have deep grudges and causing such a big thing is really not the grassroots' original intention!"

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he changed his tone and said in a solemn tone: "Sir, the grassroots people are here today purely out of love for their sworn brother. The grassroots people have received the news, and there will be big moves for the refugees tonight. If the government If we really want to arrest Meng Decai, I'm afraid no one can save the people in the city!"

Although Zhao Fuxiang was deceiving Cai Sichun, it was indeed possible based on the analysis of the situation. Cai Sichun also regretted what he had done just now, why he had forgotten about the refugees.

Cai Sichun thought for a long time before asking: "Since Brother Zhao is willing to come over and say these things to me, do you have any clever ideas to solve the current problem?"

Zhao Fuxiang likes Cai Sichun very much. He will never talk about morality in everything like Zhang Wenming. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Fuxiang is confident to convince Cai Sichun. If Cai Sichun had been replaced by Zhang Wenming, Zhao Fuxiang would never come to visit today.

"Sir, except for a few leaders of the Boat Gang, everyone else is almost dead. Why not blame the Boat Gang for this matter, saying that they are all followers of the White Lotus Sect. They originally wanted to start an uprising in Qiongzhou, but the government has already grasped it. Whereabouts, we will wipe out all these rebellious rebels one day in advance. As for those who died, are they all rioters incited by the White Lotus Sect! What do you think of this, sir?"

The White Lotus Sect is a strange organization in ancient China. When the world is in chaos and dynasties are rising, the shadow of the White Lotus Sect can often be seen.

The teachings of the White Lotus Sect are simple and clear, and the scriptures are relatively easy to understand and accepted by the lower class people, so they are often used as a tool to organize the people to resist oppression.

The Fangla Uprising in the Song Dynasty was the White Lotus Sect uprising, and the Red Scarf Army in the late Yuan Dynasty also relied on the power of the White Lotus Sect.

By the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang was firmly established in the country, he completely forgot about the kindness of the White Lotus Sect in helping him. As for Zhu Yuanzhang's good son Zhu Di, he was even more ruthless. The father and son suppressed the White Lotus Sect on a large scale and banned the White Lotus Sect's incense altars in various places. The White Lotus Sect, which was active in public, was forced to go underground, so there were more than 20 White Lotus Sect uprisings in various places during the Hongwu and Yongle years.

Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, had some abnormal brains because he had been imprisoned for a long time. After the incident, the White Lotus Sect was given legal status for a short period of time, but it was quickly banned. From then on, the White Lotus Sect completely became an underground force.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the intensification of land annexation and civil conflicts, the White Lotus Sect developed greatly. The Tang Saier Uprising in the Jiajing Period and the Xu Hongru Uprising in the Second Year of Tianqi both dealt a blow to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, everyone in the Ming Dynasty was equally hostile to the White Lotus Sect. As soon as there was any sign of a gathering of followers, they would destroy it first no matter what.

Cai Sichun knew that as long as he reported the news about the emergence of the White Lotus Sect in Qiongzhou, the court would not even ask, and people would be killed immediately. Of course, if the local government suppressed it properly, there would be no shortage of promotions and fortunes.

Although Cai Sichun was not a good official, he still could not do such immoral things as falsely accusing hundreds of people of being White Lotus cultists and dyeing his official uniform red with hundreds of human heads in order to gain promotion and wealth.

Zhao Fuxiang saw Cai Sichun's hesitation and knew that this guy couldn't bear it. Zhao Fuxiang felt that he should light another fire to make this hesitant guy firm up his determination.

"Master Cai, those people from the Boat Gang are somewhat innocent, but don't you think about yourself? If you still insist on your opinion, the refugees will definitely rise up in rebellion, and the unlucky one will be you! But in turn, use the heads of the Boat Gang to calm the anger of the refugees.

, adults can win people's hearts while getting benefits, isn't this a win-win situation?"

In fact, Cai Sichun knew what to choose without Zhao Fuxiang's persuasion. On the one hand, he was promoted and made rich, and on the other, he was demoted and returned to his hometown. What do you think he should do?

Cai Sichun gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, just do what Brother Zhao said! But I am just a colleague, and I still need Mr. Zhou's approval. But this is not the most difficult thing. I am sure to convince Mr. Zhou, Hainan

What should we do about Commander Mao of Wei? He is a native of Qiongzhou, and you cannot convince him with your tricks!"

Hainan's health clinics and local government are not in the same system. Although Hainan Health Guards are nominally under the management of the Guangdong Dusi, due to the importance of Hainan, the higher-level agency that directly manages Hainan Health Guards is the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Precisely because of the importance of Hainan Guard, the chief officers of the guard are all highly qualified. The current commander in charge of Hainan Guard is named Mao Jiao, who is a native of Qiongzhou.

Zhao Fuxiang smiled: "I will take care of Hainan Wei's affairs. Now let's go together to convince Mr. Zhou!"

The number one leader on Hainan Island, Lord Zhou Shuguangzhou, the prefect of Qiongzhou, is an old man in his sixties.

What happened last night frightened Mr. Zhou. Unlike Cai Sichun, a fellow scholar who was born in Donglin, Zhou Shuguang was from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He was a high school scholar at the age of 30 and was considered a rising political star at the time.

But Zhou Shuguang was unlucky. When he was admitted as a Jinshi, it coincided with the imperial party struggle in the late Wanli period. At that time, his mentor was Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.

Zhou Shuguang was very prosperous in the early days because of his teacher, and within a few years he was promoted to the fifth rank of the Ministry of Revenue. But Zhou Shuguang's good luck also ran out, because Emperor Wanli died.

After the emperor's death, there was a great reshuffle in the court, and members of the Donglin Party who had been defeated by the Zhejiang Party revolted one after another. Within half a year, Zhou Shuguang's teacher Fang Congzhe was sent back to his hometown to retire.

Zhou Shuguang had no backer and could no longer stay in the capital, so he had no choice but to go to Jiangxi Province for a high-level job and become a seventh-level county magistrate with a fifth-level qualification.

After Emperor Tianqi came to power, the Zhejiang Party members all defected to Wei Zhongxian and became eunuchs. At this time, Zhou Shuguang got lucky. Instead of following other friends to flatter Wei Zhongxian, he honestly served as a county magistrate in Jiangxi.

After Tianqi's death, Wei Zhongxian was forced to hang himself. The Donglin Party, which had regained power, began to liquidate its political opponents. Zhou Shuguang escaped the disaster because he did not have a party to attach himself to the eunuch, and was promoted to the fifth rank of magistrate.
