Chapter 200 and Chapter 5: Departure
Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng's identities are now just merchants, and they followed Liu Dong and others to the Grange outside the city to save people because Kyaukjiao was still guarding outside the city, and because Liu Dong needed the help of Ge Cunzhong and Ah Wu. But when Kyaukjiao and the children who were omitted came back safely, and when the government arrested the key criminals, it was really inappropriate for Shu Jin Chai Yanfeng to continue to follow.
However, Ge Cunzhong and Ah Wu still followed Liu Dong to the old mansion in the city.
When Ge Cunzhong and Ah Wu came back, they also brought back the results of Liu Dong and others' investigation:
Liu Dong and the others determined the ownership of the grange, and after interrogating the location of the old house in the city, they immediately went to arrest people. When he arrived at the old mansion, he almost didn't encounter any decent resistance and drove straight into to catch Mu Wang, who was still sleeping. Strangely, there was no one but Muwang. When Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng were exploring at night, they saw Yingyue and the man in Tsing Yi surnamed Xie as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
On the second day, Liu Dong came to Yipin Pavilion in the evening with a tired and sad face. After Shu Jin prepared a few meals for him, he told Chai Yanfeng and Shu Jin about the latest progress of the case. It was also Shu Jin who participated in the rescue at the beginning, so Liu Dong also told them about the progress of the case.
It turned out that the leader of the mountain bandits was on the line with Mu Wang, and he started to rob people from beating houses and robbing houses, but unfortunately he didn't know where Mu Wang sold them. When interrogating Mu Wang, Mu Wang initially refused to admit that he was the mastermind, and then refused to say who was behind the scenes.
The interrogation lasted all afternoon, and Muwan was not asked to say anything more useful. Last night, Mu Wang was somehow free. He committed suicide in fear of sin.
"He's dead?" Shu Jin asked, but he actually had this kind of speculation in his heart. That Yingyue acted very secretly, according to Shu Jin's guess. The person in Tsing Yi surnamed Xie is not Yingyue's subordinate, and he should also be her accomplice. Since they left Mu Wan and ran away, there was no reason to keep him alive.
Now that the results are out, Yingyue has never appeared, and Mu Wang, as the only person who has had direct contact with her, has also died in prison. It seems that Dong Shuyan can only close the case like this.
Shu Jin thought like this, and sure enough, Liu Dong said that Dong Shuyan had already planned to close the case and report it. Something about the moon. Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng didn't mention it. Although Dong Shuyan looks fair and selfless, he knows that he has ambitions in his career by looking at him so much about his reputation on weekdays.
In this way, you can get the commendation from above and make a glorious note on your political achievements. And why should there be any extraneous branches? I believe that if I really provided information like Yingyue, I wouldn't be grateful to Dong Shuyan, and maybe I would offend this county magistrate! So Shu Jin simply didn't mention it.
As for Yingyue and the people behind her, Shu Jin thought that he was such a merchant, there should be no more intersections, right?
The incident was in a small county town like Jiangxing. It really made a lot of waves. Most of the people only found out after the fact: the former Jiang Xing overlord Mu Xingqing subjugated the law. His son Mu Wang actually ran back to Jiang Xing and did a tricky thing! For a time, there were those who cursed and those who rejoiced.
But at the same time, the people's praise for the tolerance between the county magistrate Dong Shuyan and the county officials has risen to another height.
The spring flood caused natural disasters in many counties, and Jiangxing County was safe and sound, which was a very fortunate thing, and now it is also said that Dong Shuyan has a good way to make the county; When the victims came, Dong Shuyan introduced several resettlement policies that were very effective in ensuring the normal life of the people in the county; Open warehouses and release grain to resettle the victims, so that the victims can survive to the greatest extent. This time it has long been in the hearts of the people, Dong Shuyan is compassionate and compassionate. The impression of loving the people like a son.
In the end, Dong Shuyan used thunderous means to crack the case of a few days. The culprits behind the scenes are also brought to justice. Therefore, for a time, Dong Shuyan's prestige was in full swing in Jiangxing County, and even with it, a group of officials were arrested, and all the county officials were unprecedentedly supported.
In Yipin Pavilion and among the tea, there are storytellers who take Liu Dong out of the city to save the children, and go into the city to catch Mu Wang.
Wei Jiaojiao is young, and sometimes after listening to those hearsays, he still said boasting as if he had seen it with his own eyes when he didn't know anything, so he couldn't help but come back and pouted at Shu Jin:
"Shenma master, obviously a foodie......" The word foodie was once heard by the young ladies and the young ladies occasionally used it to scold Shang Qiang, and the young ladies thought it was interesting, so they used it.
Of course, this is all in private. The two little girls are like children in front of Shu Jin, and outside, everyone praises these two extremely sensible children, although they are young, they can act safely than the big girls.
After Dong Shuyan reported the case, there was naturally a will to commend him. Of course, the promotion will not be so fast, but it is true that Dong Shuyan left a good impression on the people above.
The days finally returned to calm, Yipinge's business was still booming, the business of tea was still lively, Erganfang was stepping up the production of new sugar, and the new cloth developed in cooperation with Lu Yongheng was also initially successful, and it was about to be officially produced. At this time, the will of the Emperor Shang came down.
The one who came to announce the decree was a five-rank imperial guard commander named Sangeng, not a eunuch or something like Shu Jin thought. He was accompanied by Ge Yi.
Because the decree was read to Shu Jin, the place of the decree was set in Yipinge. According to the rules, everyone in Yipin Pavilion knelt down to receive the decree, and listened to Sangeng Wen read out the will of the crepe, and after Shu Jin received the decree, Sangeng withdrew the idle people and so on, leaving only Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng, and read out another will: that is, to give Shu Jin the holy decree of the lord of Xiangtang County.
This holy decree can be said to be unexpected by Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng. When the will was read out, Sangeng took out the identity nameplate specially created for Shu Jin and several subordinate nameplates, and respectfully handed them to Shu Jin, and congratulated him in his mouth. Chai Yanfeng listened to the holy decree, and his mind couldn't turn around. He thought that Yonglao's identity was either rich or expensive, but he didn't expect it. It would be so noble!
King Yong, the only one-word king of the Dayan Dynasty, is powerful. The real one person is below and above ten thousand!
He still thought that he would work hard to earn a world to support Shu Jin. It turns out that Shu Jin already has such a big backer! No matter how capable he is, he can only be a small leader in the military at most, right? How to compare with what King Yong brought to Shu Jin? Besides, now Shu Jin's identity is not what it used to be, county lord, such a title is enough for Shu Jin to call the wind and rain!
I wanted to catch up with Shu Jin's pace, and I wanted to participate in the martial arts test for a certain official and a half position. As a result, before he could make a move, he relied on Shu Jin to get the title of a county horse. Time. Chai Yanfeng's heart is really too complicated and complicated.
Shu Jin also never expected to be crowned a county lord.
Yong Lao can treat her sincerely, and treat her well enough when he helps her get the qualification of an imperial businessman, but he didn't expect to help her ask for a title. Xiangtang, you don't have to think about it to know that this is what Yong Lao thought of because of the sugar she gave. Shu Jin took the identity nameplate handed over to her by Sangeng and also had mixed feelings in her heart. I was stunned for a while. I don't know what to say.
In the end, it was Chai Yanfeng who reflected first. Ge Yi is an acquaintance, and it doesn't matter if he greets him or not, but after all, Sangeng is here to deliver the decree, according to the rules, he can't hang others, he should always show something. So, Chai Yanfeng smiled and said politely to Sangeng:
"The three commanders, it's hard to come from afar. Let's take a break and try our tea at Yipinge? ”
Sangeng is a martial artist. But which one of the relatives of the emperor is not related to the emperor's relatives? So if he is outside, he can naturally walk with his head held high. Although Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng, who he is facing now, were once only civilians, but under the holy decree, now Shu Jin is the lord of Xiangtang County and the granddaughter of King Yong, and according to the grade, he is the fourth grade. He didn't have the capital to take a stance, but being too flattering was not what he was good at, so he smiled, patted Ge Yi's shoulder next to him, and said to Chai Yanfeng:
"You don't need to be polite, Xia Guan is very familiar with Ge Yi, I have long heard them say that the county chef is very good. This time, I've saved up enough strength to have a big meal. I just don't know, hehe, is there this mouthful? ”
Although now according to the grade, there is absolutely no reason for Shu Jin to cook for him, but Sangeng's tone is naturally familiar and not annoying, and one sentence has brought the relationship between them closer. What kind of grade do you talk about among friends, right? It was natural to say that he wanted Shu Jin to cook for him, Chai Yanfeng also laughed when he heard this, and said:
"What's the problem then, when you come to Yipinge, you definitely won't be hungry to the three commanders. Come on, come on, please! ”
Here, Chai Yanfeng's words, Shu Jin naturally heard them. Naturally, she would not start to cook far away because she had the title of county lord, or she would start to look down on people with lower grades than herself. So at the moment, I also promised to do it myself and make a delicious meal for Sangeng Geyi and others.
Shu Jin's appointment as an imperial merchant was announced in Yipinge, although there was no gong and drum, but the matter still went away. Dong Shuyan in the county government naturally heard the news. It was a five-grade official who came to deliver the decree, three levels higher than his county order, so when he heard the news, he immediately set off to pay a visit. In the end, in addition to Sangeng, Ge Yi, Chai Yanfeng and Shu Jin, Dong Shuyan and county lieutenant Liu Dong were also added to this meal. Rong Wenshan has been rejected by Dong Shuyan recently, so he naturally won't take him with him at this moment.
Yong Lao took into account Shu Jin's fear of trouble, so he told Sangeng who passed the decree to remember to dismiss the idle people when he announced the decree. When I arrived at Sangeng, I naturally understood that King Yong had a deep meaning. So Shu Jin's identity as the county lord, he naturally concealed it. When introducing Ge Yi, the third watch only mentioned in passing that this was King Yong's guard.
Guards are such things, in fact, strictly speaking, the grade is not too high, and some simply do not have a grade, but it depends on whose guard it is. Ge Yi is here now, that represents King Yong, Dong Shuyan saw that it was just Feng Shujin being an imperial businessman, and even King Yong sent his own guards over, Sangeng was respectful to Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng, and he naturally felt that Shu Jin was not simple. So he was polite enough to Shu Jin and others.
Fortunately, Dong Shuyan and Shu Jin Chai Yanfeng did not have much intersection in several contacts, although they did not deliberately make friends, but fortunately, they did not show their faces. At this moment, at the time of the banquet, they naturally talked, as if they had a friendship.
Shu Jin's food naturally has nothing to say, and Sangeng, who has tasted the imperial meal more than once, also has to say that it is delicious. also jokingly said to Dong Shuyan: You, a county magistrate, have done more than the high-ranking officials in the capital!
Dong Shuyan naturally took the opportunity to praise Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng for a few words, and the guests enjoyed the meal until they were close to Hai. All the people who participated in the feast had their personal goals accomplished. Everyone was happy.
After receiving the holy decree, he naturally had to prepare to enter Beijing to thank him. I don't know how long I will stay in Changdu this time, and there are really a lot of things that need to be arranged.
The rule of Yipinge is to launch new dishes every month, Shu Jin is not in the building, this matter must be handed over to others to be responsible, and the new dishes Shu Jin has already considered, so you must teach others to try it out until there is no problem with the taste.
When it comes to going to Changdu, Shu Jin can't go alone, and the people around her have to discuss who goes and who doesn't. Ge Cunzhong and Wu Shu Jin were all going to take it with him, Shang Qiang was also jumping to go, although Chai Yanfeng didn't say it explicitly, but his eyes had already told Shu Jin that he was going too; The two young ladies chattered, hoping that Shu Jin would take them, and even the Qiao brothers and the two children of the Xu family who heard the news were eager to try. However, they themselves understood that it was already a great gift for Shu Jin to be able to take him in, and they didn't dare to bring it up if they wanted to.
Shu Jin weighed it, since Chai Yanfeng wanted to participate in the martial arts, it would not hurt to go to Changdu in advance to take a look, and Qiao Hongyi, Shu Jin specially asked him if he wanted to participate in the imperial examination. The answer given by Qiao Hongyi was categorical, he originally planned to participate in the Autumn Festival this fall, and he would have to wait two years if he missed it! Moreover, he is also very confident that he will definitely be on the list this time.
In the end, the personnel who went to Changdu were determined, Chai Yanfeng, Ge Cunzhong, Ah Wu accompanied them, plus Qiao Hongyi, the child. Qiao Hongyi planned to go to Changdu to find a place to settle down, until Qiuqiu. Although it is still early in autumn, many students are rushing to Changdu at this time. In order to facilitate them, Changdu also opened up several residences for these students who were rushing to take the exam, and they could live in it with only a small amount of rent. Therefore, Qiao Hongyi's plan is also indispensable.
The twins knew that they couldn't bring themselves this time, and they were very disappointed for a while. However, when I thought about it, the master handed over Yipinge to the two of them to watch, and it was not because he took a fancy to them. So, I thought about it then. On the day of departure, the two little sisters swore and said:
"Master, don't worry! The two of us will definitely help Brother Wen take care of Yipinge, you guys have a lot of fun in Changdu! It seems that Shu Jin and others are going to Changdu to travel and play.
March 15, the first year of the first day, the month of Ding Mao, the day of the second day. It is suitable for traveling, building, sacrificing, praying, fasting, consecrating, making beds, building warehouses, and forming nets; Nothing is taboo. On this day, Shu Jin and others set off and rushed to Changdu. (To be continued......)

Then I have to get up early on Friday, and my son goes on an autumn trip. How many things. It's been a long week.
