Chapter 6 Entering Fujian for the first time
"Gao Junshou, my subordinates are here, congratulations. [No pop-ups. After the handover, the Fujian county guard fell to the ground and knelt. Gao Lin hurriedly helped him up and said, "There is no need to make such a big gift, I just sent the emperor's order to investigate this matter." After that, if there is no other difference, this county guard will still be yours. ”
The man shook his head and said, "Gao Junshou, you are a good person. There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"This Shaolin Temple matter, it's best not to delve into it. Gao Junshou also please know that it is heavy, and it is good to find a good excuse to perfunctory the emperor. ”
"Oh?" Gao Lin was a little puzzled, he knew that the destruction of this Shaolin Temple had something to do with martial arts. Hearing the tone of the county guard, it seems that there are many terrible things behind this. But I don't know why the county guard told him this.
"Gao Junshou, I shouldn't have said this. But I'm not that cunning person, and this time I'm going home to farm, and the burden is on your hands. I didn't dare to touch the Shaolin Temple at all, for fear that my life would not be guaranteed. The man let out a long sigh.
The two chatted for a while, and Gao Lin, who was only talking, became more and more confused. The man talked for a long time, but nothing had anything to do with why it was so so.
In the end, Gao Lin could only say a few perfunctory words. sent the man away, and then sat down safely in the seat of the county guard.
The new official took office with three fires, and Gao Lin was no exception. This fire is naturally a matter of Shaolin Temple.
"Go and call me the lieutenant." Gao Lin said.
Someone from outside went out and called the lieutenant in.
Speaking of this county lieutenant, compared to the county guard, in fact, the county lieutenant has more real power. Nominally, the county guard is in charge of the county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant has the military power of the county and the life and death of many people in his hands. Therefore, most of the county guards and county lieutenants do not have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and everyone is polite. As the saying goes, harmony makes money.
The county lieutenant walked in, and it was a guy with a righteous face. Gao Lin took a look at it and was very satisfied.
"You, the county lieutenant of Fujian?"
Gao Lin's tone of questioning was very calm, and the others had already stood up, which could be regarded as reducing the pressure on the county lieutenant a little.
The county lieutenant was stunned when he heard this question, he originally wanted to report his name and official position directly. When asked like this, all the things I was ready to say were messed up. After adjusting it for a while, he spoke:
"I'm the county lieutenant."
Hearing the voice, Gao Lin was even more satisfied. This voice is indeed the voice of an iron-clad man, and it is very comfortable to listen to.
"What's your name?"
"Ding Yuan."
Hearing this name, Gao Lin's smile became even stronger. I am very satisfied with everything, at least listening to the name and looking at the momentum, it is a good material for martial arts.
After the two of them asked for warmth, Gao Lin and Ding Yuan asked about the situation of the Shaolin Temple. Ding Yuan said a few polite words, and then gradually revealed the truth:
"In fact, the destruction of Southern Shaolin is very shaken here, and the fight is said to have lasted for three days and three nights, and the corpses are all over the field. The villagers at the bottom of the mountain have all been victimized, and many have lost their families as a result. It's just that I don't dare to investigate this matter anymore, and if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't be standing here. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"As a result of investigating this matter, our former county lieutenant died. I was then appointed to take over the matter, and became the lieutenant here. Ding Yuan replied.
Gao Lin nodded, probably understanding a little in his heart. This is by no means a matter of one gang, but a tragedy in which many gangs fight directly. In addition to gangs, there should also be some people in the government, otherwise how could this be.
"These people in the martial arts have cultivated a skill, neither benefiting the people nor cleaning themselves, why do you have to do this." Gao Lin smiled.
"This group of people has developed a skill just to fight and kill. If they don't kill a few people, their lives will be in vain. ”
After Ding Yuan and Gao Lin finished speaking, the two laughed together.
After laughing, the two became serious again. Gao Lin knew that he had a great responsibility, and this matter involved many martial arts gangs, and if he made a slight mistake, he would also be killed.
"Lieutenant Ding, you will bring me everything you know and what you have investigated for so long. Tonight, I'm going to take a good look. Gao Lin said.
Ding Yuan's face was a little strange, and he said very embarrassedly: "County guard, this is okay." However, I am afraid that it will not work tonight. ”
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished asking, Gao Lin understood what he meant.
The outside has long been stopped by a group of wealthy merchants, and the new county guard has taken office, and this group of wealthy merchants naturally wants to come to set up a banquet. The support of the government is the main backer of these people, and those who can get into the top few in Fujian are by no means ordinary people.
Gao Lin must go to this meal, and tonight, he really can't see anything.
"It's okay, Ding Yuan, you can sort out what you know tonight, and I'll let others sort out the rest, I'll watch it tomorrow." Today, these people are going to pick up the dust for me, and if I don't go, it's not good. ”
The two said a few more words, and Ding Yuan retired. Gao Lin straightened his clothes and walked out.
It can be said that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, these people have to rely on the county guard, and the county guard also depends on this group of people. Whether a region is safe or not is affected by the outcome of these people's discussions. Gao Lin has just arrived, so he has to communicate with these people first, and it is convenient to ask for a 'benefit' in the future.
Gao Lin is a civil official, and when a civil official is a county guard, he will be assigned a person to guard him. This is a rule that has to be followed, and the previous county warden has already prepared a person, and when Gao Lin comes, that person will stand up.
looked at the man, through the thin clothes, a tendon R looked hot. Gao Lin didn't talk to him much, this is the person who protects himself, and his life will be handed over to him.
The two walked out together, and under the reminder and support of others, they came out to meet the rich businessmen and nodded their heads.
Li Million, Zhang Bancheng, Wang Fugui. They are all some unpopular names, but they have one of the best properties in Fujian. A group of people eat with fat brains, and I don't know how much money comes from the hands of the poor. Gao Lin smiled, a bunch of people had already chosen a place to help Gao Lin catch the wind and wash the dust. If you don't go, you can't go, a group of people are huddled, chatting hotly.
Everyone came out, a sight on the street. Small traders, hawkers, and ordinary people look at the people who pass by, and there is only fear and sincerity in their hearts. For those rich people, this is an opportunity to show off their might, and to be able to walk with this Fujian county guard, people in Fujian have to give more or less face. And for Gao Lin, this is a part of the road that has to be walked. Until he can gain a firm foothold in Fujian, he is nothing in front of these people.
A few people in front opened the way, and a few people in the back guarded it. Gao Lin in the middle and the generals who protect Gao Lin. A group of rich people surrounded them, and the rich families all brought housekeepers, so it was not lively.
