Chapter 23 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 23 (13)
[Big Chapter, local integration is finally coming to an end, development is finally about to begin, ask for votes, ask for evaluation, ask for collection]
Wang Xingping is sitting upright in the mansion, Xu Ji on the chair of the head has just washed up and come back with Wang Xingping with some refreshments, just on this road back and forth overnight is already tossing enough, it is easy to return to the mansion to take a little rest, and in addition to Wang and Xu in this west courtyard, there is only one old official to serve, and the sky is very clean.
Guiyang's government Wang Xingping's family has been here more than once, but he is still the first to come in by himself. In addition to being smaller than other state capitals, there is no difference in the shape of the yamen in various places in the land of the Ming Dynasty. Part of the courtyard of Sanjin originated from the original Tixue Yamen, but compared with other large households in the city, the houses in the government were more regular, neat and more closed.
On both sides of the road outside the Yimen, in addition to the land shrine and the Yaowang Temple, there are rows of public houses, where the catchers, soaps, medical officers, palanquin bearers and listeners come and go on weekdays. Entering the Yimen, the lobby on the central axis is the place where the prefect Sun Chongxian deals with the affairs of the daily house, and according to the common practice of the imperial court, every few days is the day of the announcement of the acceptance of the lawsuit, but at this time it is the autumn harvest, and then the autumn fu, so the original announcement once on the fifteenth day has now been suspended.
On both sides of the courtyard outside the main hall, the three rooms of soldiers, criminals and workers are in the west, and the three rooms of officials, households and ceremonies are in the east, which is different from the six departments of the center of the imperial court, and the division of labor in the government office of the pro-people officials is more detailed.
Since entering the government, Wang Xingping has shown a different kind of carefulness from others, unlike those ordinary people who were really born and grew up in Si, the people may have never been here, but everything in the government will not be unusual. What Wang Xingping saw through the setting of these offices was the traces of the management of this huge empire extending everywhere, as evidenced by the subtle institutional settings in the yamen that managed a prefecture or even a county. As a person who is interested in working hard in this country, these details have to be paid attention to, after all, he has now understood that to be an official in Daming is not to rely on saying beautiful words as understood in the past, everything still has to be tested to speak with strength, even if it is the same as the party.
I have to say that judging from the 'Gongshengming' stone tablet in the ring stone pavilion before the lobby, the cultural atmosphere of this government is much stronger than that of the government buildings in later generations, and it also adds a bit of prestige.
On the back of the stele of the ring, the sixteen characters of 'Eryu Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive' are also more intriguing and thought-provoking. According to legend, it was still after the destruction of the Song Dynasty in Shu, in view of the political corruption of Shu before and after, and the defeat without a fight, the five generations of Shu lord Meng Chang's "Guanzhen" abbreviated as these four phrases in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo [Note: 983 AD] issued to the world, which is the "Ring Stone Inscription". It is later in front of the yamen of various states and counties, and many inscriptions are set up as warnings. This is also the time for Guiyang to build the mansion is too short, if it is replaced by the Dazhou Mansion in the mainland, many of the ring steles in front of the yamen hall are even handed down from the Song Dynasty famous handwriting, presumably up, this Guiyang Mansion looks ordinary.
You can't sit in the main hall, and you can't sit in the retreat hall, which is where the prefect works on weekdays. The side courtyard in the east is the guest house of the government, and now Wang Xingping is located in the west courtyard, which is where Xu Ji works on weekdays, Guiyang Mansion now has no Tongzhi, and his three mansions are actually engaged in the right to be no different from Tongzhi, and the chores in the house during the time when Sun Chongxian just came are all there.
It was still early, and the lights and candles in the yazhong had not yet been removed, but it was not like a real hall for the two of them to sit down like this, but more like a heart-to-heart conversation in Wang Xingping's eyes.
The reason why I feel relaxed is because Xu Ji's arrangement reassures Wang Xingping.
Although the rest of the treasury was all brought into the yazhong, now he was only in the torture room and was not imprisoned by the officials, and he became the guest of honor of the general judge.
As for Wang Zhongde, he had already obtained the right to act cheaply and followed Wang Jianzhong towards Shuiwo Village, of course, with the men and horses in their hands, they were far from being able to surround Shuiwo Village, not to mention that they had to leave a team of men and horses to guard at the granary, but with the Liao four people who were there at the beginning, it was not a few, at least the relationship between Wang Jianzhong and Wang Zhongde could be explained by casually finding a reason afterwards, so as not to go to Gu Congxin again to owe personal favors.
Xu Jian was careful, and first brought Wang Xingping into the mansion for questioning, and the prefect was also freshening up in the back hall at this time, and when Sun Chong came out from the back first, he could also roughly understand things clearly. After all, as Wang Xingping said, it is related to the raising of autumn grain and grass, since it is a matter of the governor himself, the people below are also very sloppy.
Soon Sun Chongxian also came to the west side of the courtyard, although an intermediate scholar next to him didn't recognize it, but he knew that he was a character like a curtain guest.
At this time, it was naturally inconvenient for Wang Xingping to sit down, and Xu Jian hurriedly got up and gave up his seat to introduce him.
After a salute, several people changed their seats, and Wang Xingping took a closer look at the people at this time.
Sun Chongxian looks simple, at first glance with kind eyebrows and kind eyes with a smile, and now he has no office, he is wearing ordinary home clothes, and the clothes are still old at a rough look, and they are kind at first glance. But Wang Xingping knew that the name of this person today was not to be underestimated by the surrounding barbarians, but at least the first impression was that he was a trustworthy person.
It is not difficult to hear the local accent of Shaanxi in the official dialect, this Sun Governor is famous for his courage to do things, and now that something has happened, he will naturally not shirk it like his predecessor. He was born in a person, and he was not promoted as quickly as a jinshi, and now he looks like a person who does things.
Sun Chongxian had also heard of Wang Xingping's name a long time ago, and when he sat down, he looked at the young man in front of him with a serious face, "You will tell the official again from the beginning......
…………
Since the beginning of autumn, the sun has risen later and later, but Gu Fengming still insists on getting up early, not because he doesn't want to spend time in the bed with a beautiful woman, but there are more important things today.
After freshening up and coming to the study for dinner, a cronie was already standing in front of Gu Fengming, with a respectful expression and a face full of flattery, only looking at the dust under his feet that was crushed by boredom under his shoes, it was obviously some time.
At dawn, the two family members went out to investigate the news as instructed yesterday, and the one who asked in the city was very fast, and when they came back, the two sons of the Gu family had already gotten up, and He Degu had just come to the house early.
"Did you ask for any news?" Gu Fengming looked at the tea in the cup and asked slowly.
Since it has been decided to have a 'fire dragon burning warehouse', there will always be some movement at this time, if something big happens according to his own ideas, Zhang Changgeng will naturally go to the north to raise the dragon pit to avoid the limelight according to the prior agreement. Yanglongkeng Division is famous for producing water and horses, and it is also the most prosperous horse market in Guizhou, but it is also a place where all the Yi are mixed and easy to hide, even if there is really something to go north can not cross the provincial border in one day, and it is not easy to find it when you go out of the province.
There was no superfluous explanation for this night, there was no need to ask more about what should be said, all Gu Fengming and He Degu needed to do was to sit at home and wait for news, and with such a big battle, Gu Fengming felt that there should be no more accidents, and the good news might not be long before it came.
The family sent to the city to inquire apparently did not disappoint him, and indeed asked for something useful.
"There are a lot of people today, and the city is also chaotic, but the villain heard that the door of Rouyuan Gate opened in the middle of the night, and the king on duty at night led the thirty or forty soldiers out of the city in a hurry."
Gu Fengming glanced at He Degu when he heard this, but He Degu said, "Yu's family should be reliable, otherwise all these years of trading will be in vain." ”
Since the city gate was opened at night and the troops were mobilized, it would not be a trivial matter, and Asha, who thought that Yu's home, should have succeeded according to the plan set, if it wasn't for the police patrol sergeant outside the city, why would he leak out?
"By the way, when the villain passed by the big cross, he saw that the honor guard of the prefect also went to the north gate." The family worked hard to add details.
At this time, although the local senior officials will not go out as the Qing season to open the way, but there should be a flag in front of the guard of honor to summon is a lot, the government in the honor of the garage is to store these things, this is the dignity of the officials but also to remind the people to avoid, although the family members who go to ask can't understand the words on the brand, but as long as they ask the people around a little bit, they can naturally know the identity of the owner of the honor guard.
Gu Fengming only needs to know who is going, first a team of armored cavalry went out of the city in the middle of the night, and the king commanded him to know, if it weren't for the autumn these days, he could lie high in the garrison camp in the south of the city every night, that is, these days, Gu Fengming thought silently in his heart, but it had nothing to do with his plan. And the prefect rarely goes out early in the morning, especially today is a scene, the city also needs to have officials to suppress it, if it weren't for the major event of human life outside the city, it would not have alarmed this one early, thinking that at least there were dead people last night, I'm afraid there were a lot of deaths, after all, the method that Gu Fengming discussed with He Degu that day didn't plan to stay alive.
"What's going on with the Wang family?" Gu Fengming still asked in disgrace.
"The villain was about to talk about this, but I heard that in the middle of last night, the young master of the Wang family was arrested and put into the mansion, and he hasn't been released yet."
The two sons of the He family were also using their morning at this time, but when they heard this, they all stood up and hurriedly asked the family in front of them, "Oh? But is that true? ”
In the final analysis, the Gu family is just a businessman, strictly speaking, it is just a shopkeeper in the businessman's family, even if he has a lot of net worth, and he has some connections in the shopping mall, but how can he inquire about all the things in the yamen in a hurry, so he is still a little surprised to hear the information from the government.
The kid of the Gu family described the information that he didn't know how many hands he had turned, "It's true that I asked, I did see someone bring Wang Xingping into the yamen last night." ”
"Have you ever been in prison?"
In the middle of the night, the third watch escorted a scholar into the government office, which really didn't seem like anything good, He Degu was the first to think of the prison cell in the southwest of the government office, which was commonly known as the South Prison. It doesn't matter if he is an ordinary outer prison or an inner prison where heavy prisoners are held, as long as people go in, it is naturally easy to say, after all, the Gu family and the He family can still 'help' outside.
The family replied honestly, "The villain just inquired from Zeng Asi, and I really don't know if he has been imprisoned." ”
Gu Fengming said that he originally knew it from this person, and also said: "That Zeng Ah Si is just one step fast, and it is not easy to enter the Yimen in ordinary times, how can he know so much." ”
The family added: "I didn't see that Wang Xingping come out." ”
After about half an hour, the other person who went out of the city first also came back, followed by an acquaintance, Gu Fengming's nephew He Degu's son He Jin.
"How's it going in the North Corner?" He Degu was not polite, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Dad, the warehouse was surrounded by officials and soldiers, and everyone in the warehouse only dared to watch from afar, and his son didn't dare to come forward."
"So there's no water in the barn?" Walking on the water is actually a fire, and at this time the houses are made of wood, so people say that the fire is said to be walking on the water, which is a taboo thing, and Gu Fengming obviously asked this question not because of any taboo, at least last night he was one of the most taboo people.
He Jin was a little embarrassed, "This nephew can't say well, you can't see the situation in the courtyard wall outside, and I asked a few residents who didn't know what happened last night, but it was noisy for a long time, but Zhang Wu, who was patrolling the night in the middle of the house, was killed, and when the officials and soldiers went, they had already blocked the warehouse of the Futai." ”
Most of the local granaries are built by digging into the ground, and the buildings above the ground and the roof of the warehouse are actually not high, and the wall of the warehouse of the Futai is not low, so it is indeed not easy to see the situation in the courtyard when standing outside.
However, the key to reporting important intelligence in the ...... is in the details, which He Jin can still pay attention to.
"But what?"
"My nephew first saw a county worker enter the courtyard, and when I left, I saw the prefect's guard of honor, and Sun Chongxian went to the courtyard to check it in person, thinking that there was no one alive."
There were deaths on the ground, and in addition to conducting an autopsy, the local chief officers also had to go to the scene to investigate. But even if there are really dead people in ordinary cases, the dignified mansion may not have seen it in person, and the rules set by the Hongwu Dynasty have long been no longer followed under the rule of today's son, but since Sun Chongxian can go, there must be no fewer dead people, and it is true that Wang Xingping was arrested and taken to the mansion, presumably Asha did not miss.
Thinking of this, Gu Fengming commanded loudly.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to the palace......"
