Chapter 11: The Commander
"Okay, you old monk."
Wu Shi couldn't argue with the abbot, and jumped to his feet angrily: "I'm really anxious, I'll pull out all your dishes." ”
The abbot recited the Buddha's name: "The donor is not that kind of person, but he is reluctant to trample on things like this, if the donor is really willing, Lao Na has no words." ”
It was obvious that the old monk had eaten Wu's, and Wu's face turned red with anger: "Okay, good, if you have any more vegetables that you can't grow, don't ask me again." ”
"Lord Wu Shi's mind is too narrow-minded, this is not a good thing, he is angry, he is angry, he is angry." The abbot said something indifferently, and the angry Wu wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat people.
Ji Songxian covered his face, he really felt embarrassed, and he was afraid that the Wu family would really hit the abbot, so he could only drag her: "Mother, let's go and see elsewhere, I heard that the scenery of Lingyin Temple is very good, if we go around, we will inevitably be hungry if we walk around for a while, and if you are hungry, you can eat more fasting. ”
Wu Shi was immediately happy when he heard this, glared at the abbot, turned his head and lost his fierce look, and said to Ji Songxian with kind eyebrows: "Good boy, what a good girl, this is a good girl, this is a good saying, let's eat more and eat him." ”
The abbot smiled silently, Wu Shi only felt that his family had won once, and immediately became proud, and took Li Luan'er and Sun Shixiong to find a place with a good scenery like a victorious general.
Ji Songxian covered his mouth and snickered, but Sun looked surprised, and quietly said to Ji Songxian a few steps behind: "It's still a sister's way, every time we accompany our mothers to come, we can't persuade them." ”
Ji Songxian glared: "Isn't that mother-in-law still going to beat the abbot?" ”
"Where?" Sun glanced at Ji Songxian: "The old monk is powerful, my mother can't beat him, every time my mother fights with him, she fights with him, and he competes with him to shovel the ground, and thinks about the old monk with a few younger brothers and sisters. ”
Ji Songxian was almost dumbfounded, only to feel that this style of painting was extremely wrong, how did the legendary humble and kind old abbot become a scoundrel in the mouth of his sister-in-law, and how his own family saw how the shrewd and refreshing mother was defeated by the radical law like a child.
Ji Songxian couldn't think through it for a while, so he didn't want to, and followed Wu Shi for a while, Wu didn't feel tired at all, but Ji Songxian almost couldn't walk.
At noon, Wu took Ji Songxian to enjoy a vegetarian meal.
Wu's, Sun's and Jinling's grandmothers and wives of many high-ranking families are different, they call the girl to serve rice, but they tell them to serve less, if it is not enough, not more than more, and the province will not be able to eat and waste.
Ji Songxian saw that the two of them cherished food so much, and when they ate, they ate all the food in the dishes and did not have a grain of rice left, and they were puzzled, but they also learned, and saw that there was no waste of food, but somehow, Ji Songxian's heart only felt a burst of brightness.
"Sister Xian'er has eaten a lot today." Wu smiled: "It's about the reason for the hypermobility, and wait to go back and grow vegetables for my mother, I feel hungry when I am tired, this person is hungry, I can eat anything, I think when there was a famine in my hometown, we even ate grass leaves, bark and roots, some people are hungry and can't stand it so they eat Guanyin soil, only the soil is uncomfortable to eat in the stomach, and some people are born to swell to death." ”
Ji Songxian listened carefully to Wu's chatter, and whispered in his mouth: "Who knows that Chinese food on the plate is hard work." ”
Listening to such words, Ji Songxian only felt that when she was married in the past, she was sad all day long because of Cheng Ping'an, and she couldn't keep up her spirit for several years, it was too arrogant, and there were many people in this world who couldn't even survive, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she didn't have to work hard for life, so what qualifications did she have to be sad because of a little unsatisfactory.
The three of them had eaten and rested for a while before leaving.
Wu didn't say goodbye to the old abbot when he left, Ji Songxian didn't know why, he only asked if he wanted to say goodbye, Wu waved his hand and only said no, Ji Songxian thought that Wu and the old abbot were familiar, he should know his temper, and he didn't ask again.
Sitting in the carriage, although it was still bumpy, Ji Songxian no longer felt how hard it was.
The car left Lingyin Temple and walked east along Xuanwu Lake, Ji Songxian looked at the lake and mountains outside the car, and his mood became more and more calm.
It's just that she didn't calm down for a long time, and she was startled by the sound of horses' hooves, but she saw that Wu ordered someone to drive the car aside, and a group of people wearing flying fish suits rode by, and the first person was a young man in his twenties, he sat upright on a horse, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum, because of the extremely fast, Ji Songxian only felt that this person was amazing, but he didn't have time to see his appearance clearly.
After that, she saw the team kicking the stalls on the side of the road from a distance, but she didn't care about it, and galloped away all the way.
"What is this?"
Ji Songxian was shocked, he didn't want to have such a person at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Wu Shi also didn't understand, and immediately called the girl to ask the coachman: "What happened just now, who are those people?" ”
The coachman stopped the car and went down to inquire for a while, and asked a well-informed person who also got some letters, and when he came back, he walked through the curtain of the car and gave Wu Shi a lecture.
"Old lady, the one who just passed was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I can't tell which adult has committed something to arrest, but it's just a little too public."
Wu Shi was silent when he heard it, but Sun Shi let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid the capital can't stop again." ”
Ji Songxian's heart tightened after hearing this, only to feel cold all over his body, and he was also a little afraid in his heart.
The Great Xia Dynasty has not been founded for a long time, and it has only been ruled for three generations from Taizu to the present, but, although it is only such a short time, Jinyiwei can be famous, and it has the ability to stop crying, which shows how ruthless its methods are, how many lives there are under his hands, and the blood stained is afraid that it can fill up half of Xuanwu Lake.
In order to supervise hundreds of officials during the Great Xia Dynasty, and in order to deter those old ministers who were knighted with Taizu's southern and northern wars, Taizu set up Jinyiwei, and since then, Jinyiwei has been notorious.
Especially the previous commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhu Gou, he has arrested countless officials since he took office, and countless lives have died in his hands, as long as the officials who were caught in the Jinyi Guard, none of them could come out well, that is, they were found to have been wronged, but after being released, they were already crippled, and they died after a few days of life.
Ji Songxian still clearly remembers that when she married Cheng Ping'an, one day Cheng Ping'an came back and said that an official in the court who he admired somehow offended the commander of the Jinyi Guard and was framed and arrested, and it is said that he was severely tortured on the first day of entry, and the severity of the punishment during this period made Ji Songxian tremble and be frightened when he thought about it.
Although she was in the back house, she had also heard how officials would be treated when they entered the brocade guard.
For example, pouring chili pepper water, hitting the board, etc., are all light, and the nail pulling, tiger chair, peeling and cramping, etc., are all different, which is enough to make people tremble just by hearing the name.
It's just that the previous commander was too ruthless and too flamboyant, not only offended too many officials, but he also lost patience with him today, and in order to appease the officials, he could only be used as a target.
It is said that the commander endured all the tortures he had invented before he died, and wailed for more than ten days before he died.
Since the commander left, Jinling City has not seen Jinyi Wei arrogant for about half a year, and now, the new commander has taken office, and just the scene just now knows that it must also be a flamboyant, I am afraid that Jinling City will continue to be stormy in the future.
"Mother." The more Ji Songxian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and grabbed Wu's hand tightly: "Mother, let's go back and talk to my father and tell him to be careful." ”
Jinyiwei did not arrest people when there was clear evidence, some officials were imprisoned for trumped-up charges, and they didn't say anything about the size of their official positions, regardless of whether their majesty was heavy or not, they would be arrested if they wanted to, not to mention the prime minister, even those who were crowned kings and marquis were also taken into prison.
"Hmm." Wu Shi also had a little uncertainty in his eyes, and nodded: "Although the dead old man is smart, can he ...... Well, I'll go back and talk to him. ”
"Mother, let's talk to my father early." Sun was also a little worried: "Dad has always looked down on Jinyiwei's methods, and I see that this commander is not a vegetarian, so Dad Mo has a conflict with him." ”
"Don't be afraid." Wu took Ji Songxian in his arms, and smiled at Sun again: "Your father is fine, even if he doesn't look down on him, he won't have a conflict in person." ”
With Wu's words, Ji Songxian put down his worries and smiled on his face.
And Ji Songxian, Wu Shi and Sun Shi are talking about the new commander with his subordinates all the way into the Jinyi Wei command post, he quickly jumped off the horse, stood steadily, looked up at a few big characters on the card, and stepped in with a cold face.
Throwing the thin cloak on his body to the lieutenant behind him, he walked into the inner room in a few steps, and placed a few desks, tables and chairs in it.
A hundred households came in carefully, and the commander glanced at him: "How is the investigation?" ”
The hundred households have seen the ceremony, and they are more and more cautious: "Back to the lord, the humble duty has just been carefully checked, there are more than 300 pilgrims who went to Lingyin Temple to incense today, there are 84 people who entered the back hall, and there are 12 people who have taken a large amount of sesame oil money with the monk of Zhike, among which Mrs. Ji Zaifu and the little lady met the abbot of Lingyin Temple, should take out a large amount of sesame oil money, and want to come, the Buddha lamp should be them, and inquire with the monk of the guest, it is determined that it is the little lady of the Ji family who added the Buddha lamp, and also added a Buddha lotus, They are all added for Song Hui's children and benefactors. ”
The commander's face became darker when he heard this, and only when the hundred households were almost out of breath by his momentum did he speak: "Check the Ji family carefully." ”
