Chapter 119: Who will take the blame?
Xu Wuxiang’s words made Yun Zhao silent for two days.
The Yun family considers it their mission to save the Ming world. It is his duty to save the suffering people of the Ming Dynasty from the sea of suffering.
Yushan Academy’s slogan is “Let people live with dignity”.
The disciples of the academy believe in "I will punish the injustice in the world."
If something like what Xu Wu wants to happen happens in the silver factory, this may be the biggest scandal since Lantian County became famous all over the world.
Yun Yang said calmly: "If something like this happens, just kill all the refugees."
Xu Wuxiang said calmly: "You are killing all the refugees. Before that, kill me first."
Yun Yang said angrily: "Which side are you on?"
Xu Wuxiang looked at Yun Zhao and said, "I am the county official. In exchange for fifty pounds of millet, it shows that I am basically a poor person, and of course I am on the side of the poor." Yun Zhao said angrily: "It's all speculation now, and we will talk about it after we get to the silver factory." /p>
Xu Wuxiang stood up and cupped his hands towards Yun Zhao: "There has been news from Shetaotian. They have repeatedly assured the envoys sent to Tianshui that the matter at the Silver Factory has nothing to do with them. Said, this is the first time they have heard of such a place in Lanzhou Wei."
"Have the Silver Factory been contacted?"
"Not yet, the road is difficult. It is estimated that there will be no news until tomorrow. Uncle Bao is only sixty miles away from us. According to the order of the county magistrate, I have asked them to wait for us in Fuqiang County."
Yun Zhao ate in a hurry and was too late. After washing, he mounted his horse again, and took advantage of the bright moonlight to hit the road overnight.
After riding fast for an hour, Yun Zhao saw the Clouded Leopard waiting on the roadside.
“It’s confirmed, it’s the craftsmen of the Silver Factory who rebelled!”
The first moment Yunbao saw Yun Zhao, he hurriedly informed Yun Zhao of the news he had received. .
Yunzhao, who was tired and tired while sitting on the horse, swayed and almost fell off the horse. He said with a sigh: "Why?
I don't believe that Yunfang and the others will treat the craftsmen harshly!"
Yunbao supported Yun Zhao and got him off the horse, and whispered: "No matter what the reason is, I will set off overnight. You rest until dawn before leaving. I will wait for you to arrive at the Silver Factory in two days. The events there should be It's settled."
Xu Wuxiang said to Yun Zhao with some despair: "County Lord, this is an internal matter, not a military matter. Xu Wuxiang is willing to go to the silver factory to quell the chaos."
Yun Zhao ignored Yun Bao and Yun Yang, looked at the moon that was about to disappear behind the mountains and said, "Are there any dead people?"
Yun Zhao said, "There was a mining accident sixteen days ago. , more than 60 people were trapped in the mine. Yunfang gave some money to the families of those 60 people, saying that the rescue would not delay production, and ordered the mine to be reopened. Then a dispute arose.
< p>The craftsmen were still digging the collapsed mine, but Yunfang and his group were kidnapped by the craftsmen and locked in anotherIn an abandoned mine outside, they also said that if the miners died, the abandoned mine would be blown up and Yunfang and others would be buried with them. ""Sixteen days? "
After hearing Clouded Leopard say this number, Yun Zhao lamented that after so many days, the people buried in the mine had almost no chance of survival.
" Yun Zhao Are they still alive? "
" Alive, the miners seemed to know that there was little hope of rescue, so they rebelled in the Baiyin Factory Walled City. "
"Didn't escape? "
"No! The silver factory had sufficient supplies and they did not escape. "
Xu Wuxiang interjected: "Uncle Bao, why is there no news about the guards of the Silver Factory? What are they doing?
Yunbao glared at Xu Wuxiang and said: "The guards at the Silver Factory are hired swordsmen from Guanlong. This time, they did not help Yunfang and the others, nor did they help the miners." "
Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "How can they get a neutral stance? ”
In the dark night, Xu Wuxiang couldn’t see any pockmarks on his face, only a pair of big eyes were shining brightly. After listening to Yun Zhao’s question, his eyes were even more amazingly bright.
p>Baoquan said: "County Lord, we can't abandon Yunfang and the others, nor can we abandon the miners, then..."
Yun Zhao said calmly: "There must be someone responsible for the mining disaster and the rebellion. In order to prevent the court from thinking that we are aggressive, we did not send our own troops, but the Guanlong swordsmen who spent a lot of money to hire, actually stood by and watched this matter!
What a weird thing!
It is reasonable for the miners and craftsmen to worry about the safety of their loved ones and to attack Yunfang for misbehaving. It is also reasonable to imprison them in an abandoned mine to prevent them from blocking the rescue.
Xu Wu thought, you set off overnight and go to the silver factory now to handle the mining disaster and rebellion.
I thought this was a disaster, but I didn’t expect it to be a conspiracy! ”
Xu Wuxiang glanced at Clouded Leopard and said, “I’ll go right now!” "
Clouded Leopard shook his head and sighed: "Take my men with you. ”
The tired Xu Wu wanted to jump on the horse again, and under the leadership of a soldier holding a torch, he hurriedly set off on the road.
In four days, he drove seven hundred After many miles, even Yun Zhao, who had learned to ride a horse long ago, was exhausted.
After entering the inn, he hurriedly washed up, but did not rest immediately. Instead, he talked to Clouded Leopard.
"Uncle Bao, is it really what you said? "
Clouded Leopard said irritably: "It's almost the same. ”
“That means there is a mistake. Tell me, what exactly is the mistake? ”
“People here are lazy! "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "Since ancient times, Longzhong has been a barren and miserable place. If people here want to survive, they not only have to compete with the sky and the barren land, but also with bandits. Fighting with the government, in this situation, all the lazy people would have starved to death.
So, it makes no sense for you to say that people here are lazy.
It was Yunfang who made a mistake, right? "
Yunbao turned his head and said: "I don't think Yunfang is at fault. He is not corrupt or lazy. He just wants to get us more copper so that our Lantian County can become richer. .
I have been stationed in Baoji for the past two years. I met him once in September last year. That time he came to deliver crude copper and collect supplies.
He is extremely dark, extremely thin, and an eight-foot-long man is as tall as a bamboo pole in a robe. Just like that, he is still asking me if Lantian County has become better. Listen to me. After our current situation, we had a drink and cried with the confinement baby. We only stayed in Baoji for two days and then went back to the silver factory.
If you say it’s his fault, I won’t accept it! "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "From the standpoint of our Yun family, Yunfang is not only right but also meritorious. It is a great contribution.
Looking at the general trend of Lantian County, he made a mistake.
Our Yun family has changed into Uncle Bao, do you know? "
Clouded Leopard said stiffly: "I don't know! "
Yun Zhao said patiently: "In the past, we looked down on the imperial court. You always said that the Ming Dynasty did something wrong and what was wrong.
Now, our Yun family has transformed from a family into a country. Although outsiders still think that we are still a family, does Uncle Bao include most of a family as big as Guanzhong?
We have actually completed our rule over Guanzhong.
Do you know how much space Li Shimin’s family occupied in the beginning?
The territory is not as big as ours. When we started, we only had 30,000 troops under our command!
After Li Yuan captured Guanzhong, he proclaimed himself emperor, and his country was named Tang!
So, our family can no longer call it home. To the miners and craftsmen of the Silver Factory, they are against our court, not the Ming Dynasty!
It was us who wasted no time on the lives of the people and did things that were so insignificant that people rebelled. This is why I say that Yunfang has contributed to the Yun family and Lantian County. "
Yunbao thought for a while and said: "You can't punish Yunfang. He may not be able to accept your punishment, let alone kill him. Otherwise, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life, and you will not be at ease either. ”
Yun Zhaodao: “If such a big thing happens, someone must take responsibility. "
Yunbao said: "Didn't you already decide that it was the bad things done by those Guanlong swordsmen? ”
Yun Zhao said: “It must be them, it must be them. However, I, the Yun family, are not completely innocent. Someone must be responsible for the deaths of more than sixty miners.” "
Clouded Leopard suddenly stood up and said: "I said, it can't be Yunfang. If you punish him, you might as well punish me!
With his current body, he would probably die if he could not bear twenty army sticks!
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Of course it can't be Yun Fang. Beat him to death.", my mother will beat me to death when I go back! "
Hearing this, Clouded Leopard finally showed a smile, spread his hands and said: "Who do you think is appropriate to punish? "
Yun Zhao picked up the teacup and offered Clouded Leopard a cup of tea, then pointed at his nose and said, "You! "
Clouded Leopard said in confusion: "What does it have to do with me? "
Yun Zhao said viciously: "The Silver Factory is your management line. Now something happened in the Silver Factory. Do you think a little Yunfang can satisfy the miners and craftsmen who have lost their loved ones here? ?
Of course you, the commander of Baoji, need to take the blame for this. If you don’t take the blame, I will have to take the blame.
So, after my nephew weighs it, he still thinks it’s better for you to carry it! ”
