Signing room, in the tea table.

The two of them sat opposite each other, their teacups filled with the smell of tea, and they were talking to each other.

Sun Jixiang is a person from Sunjiazhuang in Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, and the first talent of Sunjiazhuang, and he is already the pride of the Sun family.

The Yaxiang of Shuntianfu is full of talents, and it is difficult for a poor scholar like him from a peasant family to stand out. Although he had a good talent since he was a child, in the end, in order to make a living, he still chose to become a clerk.

Thanks to the benefits of his hometown, Sun Jixiang was able to go to the Yamen of the capital to run errands, and entered the Hanlin Academy with the Wanping County Yamen as a springboard, so that he could continue his studies in the Hanlin Academy, a place where humanities gather.

If this is the case, then his life will be uneventful.

It's just that fate made him meet Lin Haoran, and he resolutely accepted Lin Haoran's olive branch and chose to become Lin Haoran's staff. He went from the capital to Leizhou, followed Lin Haoran all the way, and finally returned to the capital.

But he didn't expect that his people were forced to make a living, and at the same time they were encouraged by a hot-blooded young man. A group of them went to steal the granaries of Zhufu, and when they were discovered, they directly robbed some grain.

When leaving, someone knocked over an oil lamp, which caused a fire, and caused this catastrophe.

Lin Haoran has never been an emotional person, and after listening to Sun Jixiang's narration, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, frowning tightly.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the laws of the era were more inclined to protect the interests of the gentry and the gentry. If he dared to lean toward the common people and lightly punish those "Diao people" who robbed grain and burned houses, he would definitely become an enemy of the official gentry class.

Lin Haoran was born in a peasant family and never considered himself a member of the gentry class, but he did not think that he was capable of fighting this invisible force now.

The death of Liu Jin, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the former celebrant supervisor, fully illustrates many problems, Liu Jin can be an insatiable power eunuch, but he cannot do things that harm the interests of the official gentry.

"Dong Weng, I just found a clansman to ask, although they were bewitched by the villager Sun Qiang, but the burning of the house was really an accident! If they are really convicted of rebellion, they will definitely follow Sun Qiang and fall into the grass! For the sake of a few fewer bandits in Shuntianfu, and for the sake of my kind-natured clansmen, please open the net! Sun Jixiang has always given people the impression of being a workaholic, but at this moment he is more like a loving elder, looking at Lin Haoran pitifully and begging.

Lin Haoran put down the teacup gently, shook his head slowly, and said, "Sir, you are a fan of the authorities!" If this official favors your clansmen in this case, he will definitely be attacked by Gao Yao and others, which will harm your clansmen, and this is not the solution. ”

Although Shuntianfu Yin is very beautiful, it is also like sitting on a big oven. In Leizhou and Guangzhou, he can make a decision, but here he has to be careful, often guarding against those open guns and hidden arrows.

"My lord, is there a good plan?" Sun Jixiang really had no idea, and he knew that Lin Haoran was not an upright official, but he had a kind heart, and immediately looked at him longingly.

Lin Haoran's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and then handed the complaint on the table to Sun Jixiang.

Sun Jixiang stretched out his hand to take the lawsuit, but his eyes were full of blankness looking at Lin Haoran, not knowing which one he was singing.

Lin Haoran no longer looked sloppy, looked into his eyes and said: "Mr. Sun, this lawsuit will be pressed to the torture room first, we have to think of a way to let the members take back this lawsuit by themselves!" ”

Although the nature of this case is very scary to investigate, there are no dead people after all. As long as all the members can take the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit, and let the case go from existence to nothing, then the matter will undoubtedly be clear after the rain.

I have to admit that Lin Haoran's thinking is not bound by the rules and regulations of the sage book, but he has scattered thoughts, and he always knows how to be so flexible when encountering problems.

Sun Jixiang's eyes lit up immediately, but he immediately shook his head lightly and said, "This member is an extremely stingy rich man, and he has a certain influence in the local area, I'm afraid he won't compromise easily!" ”

"Really?"

Lin Haoran's eyes flashed with contempt, now he even dared not to pay attention to Gao Yao, the head of the household department, how could he be afraid of a small rich man, but he had the heart to help Sun Jixiang solve this matter, so he made up his mind and said: "Mr. Sun, I will personally go to Sunjiazhuang the day after tomorrow!" If necessary, the official will personally go to the mansions and personally meet with the members of the government. ”

"On behalf of the people of Sunjiazhuang, thank you!" Sun Jixiang learned that Lin Haoran was going to move the people to Sunjiazhuang, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears and he sincerely thanked him.

"Mr. Sun, you and I don't need to be polite!" Lin Haoran shook his hand gently.

This time, he temporarily planned to go to Sunjiazhuang, but it was not all to solve this troublesome matter. Now that he is the Yin of Shuncheon Mansion, he also wants to take a good look below and see the real life of the people below Shuncheon Mansion.

The people in Beijing are important, but after all, he is the parent official of Shuntianfu, and he also has the obligation to care for the people outside the city. Especially if he wants a good official reputation, he needs to get more support and love from the people.

Perhaps in the eyes of some Shuntianfu Yin, Shuntianfu is the city of Beijing, but he has already set his sights on the entire area of Beijing.

Sun Jixiang learned that Lin Haoran went to Sunjiazhuang in person, and he would personally come forward for this matter. Although he knew that things might change, his heart was full of infinite gratitude to this benefactor, and he already planned to be loyal for the rest of his life.

Sun Jixiang had just left with the complaint, and it was suddenly dark outside the door, but a person hurriedly walked in.

Lin Haoran saw that this unfamiliar body shape was about to pull down his face immediately, but when he saw the appearance of the person who came in, his mouth opened slightly, and he immediately smiled on his face and said, "Brother Ji De, you are back!" ”

It was Tuiguan Mo Fei who hurriedly walked in from outside, who was sent to Songjiang Mansion because of the He Jiuyi case, and now he has finally returned. His skin looked dark, and he saluted Lin Haoran with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan has seen Fu Cheng...... No, I've seen Lord Fu Yin! ”

Mo Fei looked at Lin Haoran, who was wearing a sweatshirt, but after a business trip, Lin Haoran had already been promoted to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion. Facing this promotion to the post of Shuntianfu Yin in the same year, he was both shocked and sincerely happy.

Lin Haoran patted him on the shoulder and asked with concern, "Brother Ji De, can this journey go smoothly?" ”

"Back to the mansion, Lord Yin, this trip is not smooth, and the lower officials almost can't see the adults!" Mo Fei shook his head slightly, and replied with a complicated look in his eyes.

The smile on Lin Haoran's face immediately disappeared, and he solemnly invited him to sit down and said, "Sit down and talk slowly!" ”
