Chapter 142: Debate in Prison: It Concerns the Future of the People of Shaanxi! (2)

Yan Siyuan held it in for a long time before finally saying, "The magistrate of Mengjin County is pedantic and arrogant. He doesn't listen to our opinions at all! Brother Jia Shao, don't do useless work."

"Besides, the magistrate of Mengjin County has agreed to open the granaries to distribute food because of your calligraphy. Things may not necessarily develop into the horrible situation you described."

The black fans nodded repeatedly.

In fact, what they wanted to say was: How can we be worse off than Cui Xian's toes in providing disaster relief and saving people?

But, just half a cup of tea passed.

What stunned Yan Siyuan and his group of black fans was that the magistrate of Mengjin County actually rushed to the prison!

Jia Shao really used a couplet to invite the county magistrate!

What exactly does that couplet say?

The magistrate of Mengjin County had obviously run all the way here, and he was still a little out of breath. As soon as he entered the prison, he shouted, "Who wrote this note to me?"

Cui Xian bowed and said, "It is me, Jia Shao."

The magistrate of Mengjin County narrowed his eyes and looked at the handsome young scholar in front of him in surprise. After a moment, his face darkened: "You are the 'Sage of Calligraphy'? Good, good!"

"I admit that your calligraphy is indeed superb! But, do you know what a horrible disaster you have caused?"

"The Book of Zhou clearly states that 'eight hundred princes unexpectedly gathered at Mengjin'. This is the place where King Wu swore his oath to defeat King Zhou! If refugees gather here today and are falsely accused of 'falsely receiving orders' like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's 'red letter in the belly of a fish', my entire clan will be in danger!"

"Not only me, but the entire Mengjin, and even this group of refugees who have fled here, will be doomed!"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap, making Yan Siyuan and others in the cell turn pale.

After saying this, the magistrate of Mengjin County tightly grasped the note in his hand, staring at Jia Shao with endless expectation in his eyes.

He hoped that Jia Shao could win the debate and find a way out for Meng Jin!

Because the couplet on the note read: Yu dredged nine rivers to bring peace to the world, and the people built thousands of dikes to stabilize Mengjin!

With just two sentences, a dead end was turned around!

This Jia Shao is definitely a man of great talent in governing the world!
