Chapter 290 Confrontation between officials
Officers and soldiers have a natural sense of superiority over robbers, which has almost nothing to do with the value of force, except, of course, in the last days. Hundreds of men in the Xu Mansion were scattered in the face of dozens of officers and soldiers, and the officials in the garden were stupid, holding bows and arrows in their hands and not knowing how to end the battle.
Stone rushed in with a machete and shouted triumphantly, "Childe, I have no triad under my command...... Childe, what's wrong with your eyes? ”
Jiang Anyi's eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and the stones were frightened, and at this time, the officers and soldiers escorted Zhang Keji in. Zhang Keji saw it and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and find peanut oil, Anyi, but I was blinded by lime." ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Anyi relaxed a lot, let go of his hand, Zhang Putian collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath, fear enveloped his whole body, killing people to pay for his life, not to mention that his arrow shooting was a county order, and this capital crime was difficult to escape.
Jiang Anyi washed his eyes with peanut oil a few times, barely able to open his eyes, looked around, saw a group of officials standing like geese, and said angrily: "Look at these officials first, how many people have you caught, did Xu Mingyuan catch them?" ”
At the south city gate, more than ten fast horses galloped out of the city, and after running out of more than one stone, Xu Mingyuan reined in his horse and looked back at the county seat that he had operated for nearly 20 years. The escape was in a hurry, except for the more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets that he carried, all the family wealth collected over the years was not brought out, but fortunately, there was no burden from the family, and several concubines in the family, Xu Mingyuan, did not take it to heart at all, but it was a pity to spend a lot of money to buy Zhuzhu and Luoluo.
Scar persuaded on the side: "Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." Let's go to Huangyang Village, find the owner of Lei Village to borrow some people to level Fuluo City, and vent our anger for the eldest brother. ”
Huangyang Village, in the Huangyang Mountain, which is more than 120 miles away from Fuluo County, is the junction of Fuluo, Ningping, Jiang'an three counties, the mountains are high and the streams are deep, and they belong to the Sanzhi area, where there is a group of mountain bandits, the surname of the owner of the village is Lei Yihong, and there are four or five hundred minions under him. Xu Mingyuan has dealt with Lei Yihong and has a little friendship, but now he is in trouble and goes to defect I don't know what will happen, Xu Mingyuan sighed, and now he has to take one step at a time.
There were officers and soldiers in the city, Yan Kaichen couldn't pretend to know anything anymore, so he gathered the county officer, the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant, and rushed to the Xu Mansion with the remaining more than 30 officials. The Xu Mansion was in a mess, and the officers and soldiers were moving the belongings of the Xu Mansion to the front yard.
Jiang Anyi sat under the porch to rest, and the stone came to report that it was Yan County's order. Although he was very dissatisfied with the former county commander, Jiang Anyi still got up to greet him, Yan County Commander looked at the young juniors, thinking of the other party's prestige, and his heart couldn't help but be sour. Indicating his identity, Jiang Anyi asked the stone to tell everyone to pass the coffin and tell everyone, everyone saluted, Jiang Anyi didn't wait for everyone to ask, and first told Xu Mingyuan about his intention to murder himself, there were many people lying on the ground, and it was not difficult to confess.
Yan County Ling secretly scolded Xu Mingyuan for being stupid, even the archers of the county government were on board, so many people couldn't take a Jiang Anyi, and said with a forced smile: "Lord Jiang, when you first came to Fuluo, you found out about Xu Mingyuan's misdeeds, which really made the old man and others ashamed, this is not the place to speak, please go to the county office." ”
Jiang Anyi pointed to Zhang Putian, who was tied to the side, and said, "This person colluded with Xu Mingyuan, intending to shoot Jiang, and put him in prison first." As for the other brothers who were deceived, forget it, let them help to raid the Xu Mansion, and if they neglected, the two sins will be one. Those officials were overjoyed, but they didn't expect to be let go gently, so they immediately thanked them and joined the army of raids.
When they came to the county office, the convoy of Dong'er and others stopped next to the county government to rest, and there were twenty officers and soldiers guarding it. Yan Kaichen beckoned Jiang Anyi into the lobby, and someone led Dong'er and the others to the Yin Hotel to rest. On the lobby, the edict and the body were inspected again, Yan Kaichen handed over the official seal, Jiang Anyi sat in the lobby, and everyone saw the salute again, which was officially sealed.
Yan Kaichen intended to take advantage of the chaos to get out, and asked the head of the sixth room to hold the document and ask the new county order to check the handover, Jiang Anyi had already received Zhang Keji's guidance, and knew that the handover was sloppy, and there was a month's inventory time according to the regulations. Immediately smiled: "The official's eye is injured, and it will not be too late to hand over after the injury is healed." However, there is something to be done now, Wang County Chenglao, you ordered to post a notice to Sixiang, explaining that Xu Mingyuan deceived the market and murdered the court officials, and immediately pursued it, and informed the people that the price of medicinal materials was voluntary from now on, and no one was allowed to force the price. ”
After a pause, Jiang Anyi said again: "County Lieutenant Qin, you sent someone to release a notice, and three days later, this official will be promoted to the court to accept the case of Xu Mingyuan's bullying and oppression of the good, and the people who have been wronged will come to complain." ”
Jiang Anyi's several orders were issued, Yan Kaichen's face was a little unsightly, Wang Xiancheng quickly glanced at Jiang Anyi, and Master Liu sat cross-legged like a bodhisattva with his eyes half-closed, and he didn't know if he heard it clearly. County Lieutenant Qin raised his head and glanced at Jiang Anyi, as if he had something to say, and when he saw Jiang Anyi's red and swollen eyes, he lowered his head again.
There were many officials and officials in the lobby with blue faces, and the order of the new county order did not know how many people's jobs would be smashed. The new official took office with three fires, and many people sneered, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and everyone has a way to make it bad, so that the new county commander will suffer a dumb loss, and in the end he has to rely on his own people.
Jiang Anyi listened to the weak response in the hall, and knew that Mr. Zhang had analyzed this situation with him before he came, which was called "the new official burns the fire, and the old official smokes firewood", dealing with it on the surface and dealing with it later. Jiang Anyi has always had no good impression of the officials and the officials, and today he was besieged by the officials, and he secretly gritted his teeth and wanted to take the opportunity to have a seizure.
The officers and soldiers took the things confiscated by the Xu Mansion to return, Jiang Anyi glanced at it, there were tens of thousands of gold in all kinds of medicinal materials, and there were also a lot of various kinds of property, and the wooden box that was sent to the Xu Mansion that night was not among them, and it seemed that the Xu Mansion had not been confiscated. More than 50 people were arrested in the Qingpi of the Xu Mansion, and there were more than a dozen women, and Jiang Anyi let them be temporarily imprisoned, especially the women, and they were not allowed to be embarrassed.
After dispersing the ya, Jiang Anyi visited the county government accompanied by everyone, and when he came to the back, he found that the East and West Flower Hall was in disrepair and could not accommodate a few people. Jiang Anyi simply asked Yan Kaichen to move out within three days, and then renovate it. The Yin Hotel gave up the officers and soldiers who were escorted, and Jiang Anyi had an idea, so he simply took Dong'er and others to live in Xu Mansion temporarily. Dong'er saw that Jiang Anyi's eyes were injured, and it was inevitable that tears rippled, and her heart ached and complained, Zhang Keji came to Jiang Anyi to discuss, and when she saw this, she promised that she would be fine in two days, and Dong'er returned to the inner house.
Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "Women are just nagging, let Mr. laugh." ”
"The lord and wife are deeply affectionate, which is really enviable, how can I laugh." Zhang Keji sighed, thinking of his dead wife Zhuo Niang, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy. Jiang Anyi's heart moved, Mr. Zhang has been alone for some years, should he care about it, that Zhuzhu and Luoluo are good, you might as well let them take care of Mr. Zhang's daily life first, as for the rest, let's talk about it.
After a few words of gossip, Zhang Keji said: "Lord, today's great show of skills to remove the stubborn diseases in Fuluo County in one fell swoop, although it is a little reckless, but the effect is excellent, I believe that the people of Fuluo County will know that the Lord is as evil as hatred, and it will be beneficial for the Lord to govern the county in the next step." ”
Jiang Anyi was a little complacent, and said modestly: "Luck, luck." ”
The lord also knew that this matter was a fluke, but it was no longer possible, Zhang, as a minister, had to say a few words about the lord. The lord is prone to danger by nature, and the envoys of Renzhou Qingtian, the Northern Desert, and the Shasu Kingdom and Qizhou are all like this. Master Yun and the gentleman do not stand under the dangerous wall, the lord ......"
Zhang Keji talked endlessly for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Anyi was taught a lesson, and knew that what Zhang Keji said was reasonable, so he had to say yes again and again, and wiped cold sweat. Seeing that Jiang Anyi was indeed moved, Zhang Keji said: "Lord, Zhang was originally a person with a dead heart, and he had to meet the grace of the lord, so he wanted to rely on the lord to achieve a career, and he was bitter, hoping that the lord would forgive." ”
Jiang Anyi stood up, bowed deeply to Zhang Keji, and said: "Mr. Jin Yu's good words, Jiang Mou can not know, I hope that Mr. will be able to do the same in the future, speak freely, Jiang Mou can get Mr. help, it is really fortunate." ”
The two held hands opposite each other, and they couldn't help but shush.
County office, after dinner, Wang Xiancheng paced from his residence to the courtyard of the main book, the second hall and the right and left of the main book and the residence of the county Cheng, and the county lieutenant of Qin lived on the right side of the sixth room. Wang Xiancheng and Liu Zhuji are chess friends, and the two will get together to talk about it when they have nothing to do.
When I entered the house, the chessboard had already been set up, and the green smoke curled on the tea stove, Wang Xiancheng smiled and said, "Lao Liu, how do you know that I am coming." "Sit down in your seat, grab a sunspot and place it on the star in the upper left corner.
Master Liu slowly pulled out a white piece from the chess jar, put it on the Nanmu chessboard with a "snap", the voice was loud and crisp, and said with a smile: "This afternoon is a good battle between the old and the new, and your brother has to find me to figure out how to fall." ”
"Then what Brother Liu said you and I should do?" Wang Xiancheng quickly responded to his son and asked.
The water boiled, Master Liu got up to make tea, and replied: "Our Fuluo County is a good place, not only producing medicinal materials, this Qingwu tea is not under the top ten famous teas, but unfortunately several county orders only care about making money for themselves, how can they take care of people's livelihood and county conditions." ”
Wang Xiancheng took a sip of the teacup and said: "Brother Liu's skills in making tea are becoming more and more sophisticated, this tea has a mellow taste and beautiful shape, but it is a pity that it is raised in the deep mountains, and no one knows the goods." ”
Master Liu smiled slightly, he knew that after Yan County's order stepped down, Wang Xiancheng was originally the most likely to take over, and he also went to the state capital to carry out activities, who expected Jiang Anyi to fall from the sky and seize the position, Wang Xiancheng was inevitably angry, and he naturally perfunctory to Jiang Anyi's order.
Gently knocking the white son on the chessboard, Master Liu said meaningfully: "Let's have a 'silent true gentleman'." ”
The sound of falling children in the house was soft, and there was no other sound.
The moonlight tonight is good, and under the moonlight, Qin County Lieutenant sits alone in the courtyard, raising a glass to invite the moon, thoughtful.
At the back door of the county ya, the heads of the six rooms, the warehouse, and the granary gathered in the East Flower Hall, Yan Kaichen closed his beard and was silent, for a long time, Su Guoliang, the head of the house, couldn't help but open his voice: "My lord, say something, what should I do with the deficit of this warehouse?" ”
"Yes, my lord, the grain in the granary is a bit uncountable, and most of the grain is moldy."
"The things in the treasury don't fit the books, my lord, do you want to return some of the borrowed things?"
The crowd was noisy, Yan Kaichen opened his mung bean eyes and shouted, "What are you panicking about?" Most of you are veterans, and you have dealt with several county orders, and my predecessor has a big deficit. ”
Yan Kaichen rolled his eyes and said: "The new official took office with three fires, and this fire will be clear in three days, if you let this fire not burn, you will not extinguish the prosperity of the Jiang County Order, and the Jiang County Order naturally knows what to do." ”
Everyone nodded, whispering like ghosts, and the figures swayed under the lights, like a group of ghosts traveling.
