Chapter 649: Stratus Clouds (1)
The three-year drought in Zhengde spread to the beginning of the fourth year, and this winter, there was little snowfall in many places in the north, but the weather was extremely cold.
In February, the spring is still cold, and the canal in the North Zhili section has no signs of thawing.
Shen Rui, who went to Shandong to take up his post, and Dai Dabin and Lin Fuyu, who returned to the south to mourn, were all in a hurry, so they couldn't wait for the boat, so they had to ride horses and cars.
Shen Rui went to Dengzhou to serve as the governor of Dengzhou.
Originally, the promotion and release of Beijing officials were all to be promoted to one level, and the prefects of the three eastern prefectures of Shandong were mostly released by six subordinate officials, the most of which were the Langzhong of the fifth grade, and there was more than one person from the fifth rank of the foreign lang and even the sixth grade.
Therefore, Shen Rui put the fourth-rank prefect out of the fifth-grade official body, and in terms of official rank, it is completely a normal promotion.
It's not normal, it's just the speed of promotion, and it's not been two months since he got this positive five grades......
But this matter is not much for the imperial history to jump out and talk about it.
Fools know that even if it is the fifth product, it is also the general political secretary, and the position of the daughter is not changed, and it is put in the place from such a critical yamen, not to mention the fourth product, even if it is given to the third product, it is also a loss.
Unless you are a feudal official, where can you compare to following the Son of Heaven next to you.
And this place, Shandong, is now a disaster and bandits, and it is really a mess. It's really a place that I don't like to go to.
Many people speculated about whether Shen Rui had fallen out of favor, or that the situation in the cabinet had changed, after all, there were two cabinet elders standing behind Shen Rui.
Of course, there are also people with a keen sense of smell, this Dengzhou is close to the sea, and in the first two years, he also promised to repair ships to transport military supplies to Liaodong, Shen Rui is famous for making money, and the emperor is going to open the sea, so let Shen Rui be a pioneer.
It's just that this pathfinder is also extremely risky, and it is not easy to have a good end.
The collective silence of the officials is also due to the acquiescence of the bigwigs in the cabinet who can direct them.
*
Brother Shou talked with Shen Rui for a long time, and little by little outlined the prospects of Dengzhou and even the whole of Shandong, although Shen Rui knew that it was easy to talk on paper and difficult to implement, but there was still a small flame burning in his heart, which made him eager to try and create a new world.
After coming out of the palace, Shen Rui naturally wanted to go to his father-in-law, his father-in-law, and his uncle to explain the matter, and also expressed his intentions.
Yang Tinghe got the news, and his mood was quite complicated.
He also has high hopes for this son-in-law, and is even more optimistic about his son-in-law than his son.
Therefore, his career plan for Shen Rui is similar to that of many cabinet elders, Hanlin Academy-Tongzheng Division, Zhan Shifu-one of the six ministries-Jiuqing-cabinet.
The elders of the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Wang Hua, Wang Wei, and himself, all took this route.
This is also the most normal route and the safest route for Wenchen to reach the top.
Especially now that Shen Rui has done very well in the General Administration Division, and he has won the emperor's heart, he has just been promoted, and his future is very good, so he was suddenly transferred out of the Beijing Division, and he couldn't help but be flashed.
Qiu Ju's false accusation, Shen Rui didn't leak a word, in the end, the channel to get the news was not right, and such a thing as spying on Gong Yu couldn't be said even to his father-in-law.
Therefore, Yang Tinghe didn't think about whether the little emperor was suspicious of Shen Rui, he only thought that the little emperor trusted Shen Rui too much, and when the treasury was empty and Zhao Hongpei was sent out to make money, he threw Shen Rui, who had always had an idea, to Shandong to try his luck.
"The emperor wants to train you. This is also the meaning of the emperor's trust, in the past two years, the emperor has become more and more prestigious, and the people around him who have to be used have also been put in the important yamen experience. Yang Tinghe said with emotion.
The so-called more and more dignified, not that the little emperor has more and more eyes, and his own people are put in important places. Outsiders say that the little emperor is greedy for fun and ignores political affairs, but Yang Tinghe and such close ministers and important ministers know that the little emperor knows in his heart, and no one can fool him.
The port of Dengzhou is really important, but Shandong is ...... at the moment
Yang Tinghe sighed: "It's just that the situation in Shandong is really troublesome, and if you go, I'm afraid it will take a lot of thought." Be careful yourself, too. ”
Shen Rui nodded and said, "Son-in-law can save it." The son-in-law watched the newspapers from all over the country, Dengzhou did not see a disaster, Dengzhou is close to the sea, there are always many ways to think. In addition, the Lu family has been in Dengzhou for many years, and the son-in-law has picked up a ready-made bargain. ”
Yang Tinghe sighed: "You are young, you think simply. However, it is much cheaper to have the support of local clans. It's just that you have to be extra cautious in what you do. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "First Tongzheng Conglan, the first political secretary, is a person from Dengzhou Mansion, although he is now going to Yansui, and when he turns around, you should also go to his mansion to pay a visit." Shandong Cong's hairpins in the past dynasties are different from the Lu family. ”
Shen Rui hurriedly responded, and said some plans to think of Shandong for the time being.
Yang Tinghe gave him guidance, but at the same time regretted in his heart, although he had been training for three years abroad to broaden his horizons, and he would have a better view of the overall situation in the future, and he would be able to better understand the people's sufferings once he was in power, but in the end, he was no closer to the center of power than in Beijing.
And now in the cabinet, although Li Dongyang and Wang Hua are not in harmony, they are both old-fashioned figures, and they have deep roots in the DPRK and China; Jiao Fang leaned on Liu Jin and was arrogant for a while; Wang Wei now wants to retire, just wait and see, and don't want to touch anything; In such a situation, Yang Tinghe showed a bit of a disadvantage.
His champion son is now in the Hanlin Academy, and he doesn't need it, but this son-in-law, who is not only in an important position, but also has a holy family, is really his good helper.
But no matter what, the little emperor has this meaning, this is a foregone conclusion, he knows that with the character of the little emperor, it is useless for him to keep his son-in-law again.
Moreover, they were originally the imperial party, and they were just following the orders of the emperor since childhood.
Yang Tinghe had no choice but to accept this result, and while helping his son-in-law plan, he was also looking for a master for his son-in-law in the staff.
As for Wang Hua, because his son Wang Shouren went out to make contributions, he didn't think that staying in Beijing was the first place.
After listening to what Shen Rui said, Wang Hua only twisted his beard and smiled: "You, this unwilling to be idle is the same as your teacher." ”
Shen Rui said with a smile: "I don't dare to compare with my teacher, but my grandson also wants to follow the man and set up a career." ”
Although Wang Hua was praised, he also stared at him, his eyes were full of deep meaning, "I have seen your palace try to ask, your ambition old man has already known, I just hope that you will remember what the old man said to you that day, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds outside, and you can't rush in when you have power." It is necessary to know that slow things are round. ”
Shen Rui remembered Wang Hua's long conversation with him after the palace examination, so he took a deep look and said, "Master rest assured, my grandson will not be greedy for merit, and strive to do things safely and satisfactorily." ”
Wang Hua nodded with relief, and said: "Dengzhou is near the sea, and there are several rivers in the territory, you go back and write a letter to your teacher, asking him to send some people who know how to water with you." ”
"Shigong really guessed his grandson thoroughly, and this is what his grandson planned." Shen Rui said with a smile.
At the beginning, Changshou and others were also given by Wang Shouren, and it can be said that the guards around Shen Rui were originally the foundation of these people.
Wang Shouren commanded water warfare in Taihu Lake, and now he is training water division in Nanjing, so his subordinates will naturally have guards who understand water warfare, Shen Rui has eaten such sweetness, how can he not please people, he is also ready to ask more people to come.
Wang Hua laughed and scolded the clever ghost, and said that he would also write a letter to Wang Shouren, and take the post road with the official document, and he could get to Nanjing faster.
Wang Hua only regrets that he has no reason to be old in Shandong. As for the staff, with Yang Ting and this father-in-law, there is no need for others to interfere, after all, the master of the staff is also a close person to the chief officer, and Yang Tinghe is not a group with him, so Wang Hua also consciously did not give the staff to avoid misunderstanding.
Uncle Yang Zhen also had a release in his early years, so he also gave the most encouragement to Shen Rui's release.
The two talked for a long time, and he taught Shen Rui a lot of tips for being an official outside.
can be promoted back to Beijing in the foreign office, and can sit in Dali Temple, Yang Zhen is not an ordinary person, Shen Rui naturally wrote them down one by one.
Moreover, Yang Zhen also has a good friendship in the same year is from the Shandong Wang family, although he is an official in other places, his family is in Jinan Mansion, and there is more than one person in the clan, who is quite influential in the local area.
Yang Zhendao is writing a letter to the past, not to mention the side, it is important to find two staff members who are well versed in the local officialdom in Shandong for Shen Rui.
*
After saying hello like this, when the little emperor wanted Shen Rui to go to Dengzhou's dictate to the cabinet, Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe remained silent and did not say anything at all.
It was Jiao Fang who stood up and applauded first, saying that the emperor was wise, Shen Rui was a young talent, and he had repeatedly made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and he was the best candidate to be sent to Shandong.
For a moment, everyone in the cabinet looked sideways.
Jiao Fang failed to enter the Sanding Jia, because his son Jiao Huangzhong was not pleasing to the eyes of all the Jinshi in front of Jiao Huangzhong in Wuchenke.
Although Jiao Huangzhong was directly given an official position, in the two projects of repairing the actual record and repairing the collection of books in the Ten Thousand Scroll Pavilion, it was either Li Dongyang's person or Yang Tinghe's person who was promoted and reused, and Jiao Huangzhong didn't even touch the edge. Looking back, almost all of the officials who were awarded at the same time as Jiao Huangzhong were higher than him, and he was still an idle person from the seventh rank in the Hanlin Academy.
Jiao Fang was about to jump to his feet and scold, taking the opportunity of Liu Jin to find the Hanlin Academy, he did not miss the black hand and added bad luck to Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe.
Therefore, as soon as he Jiao Fang jumped out and shouted loudly for Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, it was not a good thing to be allowed to be protected.
Jiao Fang not only wanted to pull out Yang Ting and a capable person, but also Liu Jin's instructions.
The big guy next to him didn't know that the little emperor had seen Shen Rui, but Liu Jin knew. If the little emperor wants to release Shen Ruiyuan, he will not hide it from the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies.
Liu Jin didn't have a good impression of Shen Rui, but for Zhang Yong's sake, for the sake of the Shen family who also gave him gifts, he wasn't too disgusted. In fact, he has been cleaning up the Hanlin Courtyard recently, and suppressing the rumors outside that he forcibly recruited his son-in-law Dai Dabin, so he has no time to meet Shen Rui.
But he can't stand the fact that there are people around him who have a heart.
Qian Ning is the best at drilling, he has been by the little emperor's side for a long time, and he has figured out the emperor's likes and dislikes, so he devoted himself to pleasing the little emperor, and really became a celebrity around the emperor.
But he is popular, and there are many people who come to give him gifts and beg him to do things, and even the vassal king will give him gifts generously, which makes him quite proud. However, he is just a courtier-like figure in the end, without any real power.
Although he is the adopted son of a eunuch, he is not a eunuch in the end, and he can't live happily by teasing the little emperor all his life, especially when the little emperor is getting older, he will lose interest in those children's things one day.
Qian Ning's top priority now is to take advantage of the fact that he still has a holy family and hurry up to get some errands with real power.
He is also strange, it stands to reason that the emperor is very fond of him, and many times he does not carry him behind his back when discussing things, but when he wants to send an errand, he either cheapens Cai Liang or gives it to Zhou Xian, and no good errand falls on his head.
The family background of those two people was there, and he was unwilling and could only admit it, but this time Shandong suppressed the bandits, and it was clear that he sent people out to grab the credit, but he used an ordinary hereditary brocade guard to settle down in Luokedi, and used Gao Wenhu, who was born in a common people's family, and still didn't use him, so he was very unhappy.
Qian Ning suspected that someone was maggots in front of the emperor - then Shen Rui exposed him in front of the emperor last time, and he said that he needed to know how to train soldiers.
This time, when he heard from Liu Jin's private house that the emperor intended to release Shen Rui, Qian Ning was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to kick this person away from the emperor's side, so he spared no effort to blow the wind to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin also felt that there were too many people around Banzai, which was not conducive to Qian Ning squeezing in. If Qian Ning can monopolize the favor of Banzai and keep saying good things for him, then he Liu Chitose will stand more firmly, what Hanlin Academy, even if it is the cabinet, he doesn't have to pay attention to it.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Jin gave an order, Jiao Fang was of course happy to do so, and kicked Shen Rui away with all his might.
Jiao Fang's voice in the cabinet, Li Dongyang immediately stood up against it.
Although Li Dongyang did not want such a rising political star to be in Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe's camp, he still chose to let this Shen Rui stay in the capital rather than let Jiao Fang succeed.
Especially the emperor can still listen to Shen Rui's words, in the imperial road submission, Shen Rui's performance is also completely in line with the standard of an upright civil official, there is such a person by the emperor's side, it is always better than those traitorous eunuchs and reckless martial artists who can only flatter and coax the emperor to play.
Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe kept silent in order to avoid suspicion, but he Li Dongyang couldn't keep quiet.
Li Dongyang insisted that although Shen Rui was talented and had also written disaster relief notes, he was young and inexperienced, and he only resettled thousands of disaster victims at the beginning, but now many provinces in Shandong have been affected, and the victims are only afraid of no less than 100,000.
Jiao Fang said that Lao Cheng knows how to provide disaster relief, but what about after disaster relief? This winter is less snow and cold, seeing that the spring sowing will be delayed, how this year's harvest is very difficult to say, at this time not only to provide relief, but also to quickly replant food, otherwise disaster relief is a bottomless pit, every year needs disaster relief!
Not to say that the imperial court can afford to bear such expenses, let's just say that after three years, the land will be abandoned, and even if you want to, you can't grow anything.
Although Shen Rui is young, he can find out the method of farming from the book, after all, the court's relief is limited, and it depends on the disaster victims to save themselves, Shen Rui is young and energetic, and he knows how to do it, and he is suitable to do this thing to encourage farming.
The two argued with reason, and quarreled for eighteen rounds, but there was no result.
As a result, the next day, the little emperor first asked Liu Jin about the bachelor Lu Kuo, and Lu Kuo was quickly sentenced to a fine of 100 stones, and then the official was reinstated.
Before long, Li Dongyang's subordinate Ji Shi Jingyang directly entered the General Administration Department for the experience before the museum was disbanded.
Jing Yang is also a new science and technology jinshi last year, and his test results are quite good, and Li Dongyang is also very optimistic about him.
It's a pity that the cabinet wrestles, and half of the top ten this year are Yang Shen, Shen Rui, Liu Ren, Jiao Huangzhong, Pang Tianqing, etc., and the number of people who can protect each cabinet veteran is really limited.
Although Jing Yang has excellent knowledge and character, and the palace test strategy is also very good, but in terms of flexibility, he is not as good as Lu Nan and Hu Zhanzong, Li Dongyang had to abandon him and try to protect Lu and Hu.
Jing Yang failed to enter the top seven of the second class, and he was never awarded an official, but he was successfully admitted to the Shu Jishi, and now he is studying in the Chang Hall of the Hanlin Academy. Li Dongyang was also going to wait for him to disperse before arranging a place for him.
The little emperor's actions, where did Li Dongyang still not understand the reason, so he didn't mention Shen Rui's matter.
Shen Rui's appointment was successfully issued.
*
The friends of the same year did not know the deep meaning, and they were also the same as the officials, they all felt that no place was as good as in Beijing, and any official position was not as good as being by the emperor's side.
Therefore, whether it was coming to Shen's family to congratulate Shen Rui on his promotion, or at the banquet held for him later, everyone couldn't help but bring out a tone of regret in addition to blessings.
Shen Rui will not pretend to be free and easy, but just smile gently, and do not express any opinion on the matter of going to Shandong.
Because Dai Dabin did not appear at this banquet, some people whispered during the banquet, saying that Bin Zhongmo was not made by Liu Jin to dare not come out, and said that Shen Rui had gone too far for him, and it was really wrong not to come to see him off at this time.
Or Yang Shen personally refuted the rumors for Dai Dabin, saying that Dai Dabin had just received the news of the funeral at home, his mother had passed away, and now he was filial piety, and it was not easy to go to the banquet, and everyone was relieved.
I secretly wrote it down if I had a good relationship, and I thought that I would go back and make up a copy of Dian Yi and Dai Dabin.
What is even more sorry for Dai Dabin, with the help of repairing the actual record and repairing the collection of books in the Ten Thousand Volumes Pavilion, Dai Dabin was promoted to a higher level, and the future is just right, but this time Ding is worried, and I don't know what will happen after three years.
Someone quietly advanced Shen Jin, the former champion who was also worried about Ding when he was just promoted, and now he is pinching his fingers, but he is coming back.
However, how could Shen Jin be the same, he still had the Shouning Marquis Mansion to plan for him, if Dai Dabin was from Liu Jin, he would not be worried in three years, now......
It's just that Shen Jin is Shen Rui's brother in the end, and now at the banquet for Shen Rui, everyone is not good at talking about Shen Jin's gossip, and a few mutters will pass.
Dai Dabin's mother is not more than half a hundred years old, not old, but this time she died of heart disease.
She also had heart disease in her early years, but it was not serious, and she often took decoction medicine to regulate her when she got older.
Originally, her eldest daughter-in-law did everything in the previous years, and she was not tired, but this year, Dai Da Binde was in the middle of the flowers, and the local people with heads and faces just entered the month of Layue came to Dai's house to give New Year's gifts.
It was too pleasant for people to give heavy gifts to see, especially some officials and their dependents, but it was not a lady Dai sister-in-law who could entertain on her behalf, and Dai's mother had to fight hard to entertain one by one.
After taking a nap at noon on this day, Dai's mother suddenly fell straight up, and instantly lost her breath, which frightened the maids and women into flying their souls, crying and calling people everywhere.
After Dai's sister-in-law arrived, she detained all the people who were waiting, for fear that her mother-in-law would be poisoned.
When the doctor came to see, it was said that overwork caused heart disease, and the Dai family mourned.
This compartment held a funeral, and that compartment was busy sending people to Beijing to deliver letters.
Fujian is far away from Beijing, and it has passed through several disaster areas, so the news was delivered to Dai Dabin for a long time.
Shen Rui, Yang Shen, Pang Tianqing and other friends made an appointment to go to Dai Dabin's house to complain to him, but after a few days, Dai Dabin was already haggard.
Although he has become an official, he is still a young man who has not yet reached the crown, and he suddenly lost his mother, and his heart is full of grief and fear.
Lin Fuyu also wanted to go back to mourn his aunt, so he took a long vacation to Qingze Academy, and was packing his luggage for Dai Dabin at this time.
Lin Fuyu's filial piety period is short, and he will enter Beijing to take the exam two years later; Three years later, Dai Dabin also had to come back as an official, and as soon as the two discussed, the house in Beijing was not going to be sold. It happened that Yang Shen and others came, so they entrusted the matter to Yang Shen and Pang Tianqing.
Shen Rui asked again that Dai Dabinding's formalities had been completed, and asked him how to go.
Dai Dabindao is still going through the formalities, and he is also at a loss for the return journey, Guy heard from his family that the situation in several disaster areas passed by is not good.
Shen Rui invited him to accompany him, "Now that the canal has not been opened, if you go with me, it should be the Mengchun season when you go to Shandong by land, no matter how cold the canal is, it should be thawed, and then board the ship from Shandong to the south." Take the waterway, prepare more fresh water, give the boatmen more silver, and when passing through the disaster area, the boat will not stop docking, and sail by day and night, and there will be no trouble. ”
Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, at this time, shipping was not possible, otherwise it would be cheaper to take a sea ship from Shandong to Fujian.
He also said that he would help them contact the dart master of the dart bureau to escort them all the way, and Dai Dabin Lin Fuyu thanked him again and again.
In this way, Shen Ruicai walked with the Dai Dabin brothers.
Because the Xu family was old, Yang Tian was frail, and Zhang Qingbai and He's children were still young, they had to wait for the Tiannuan Canal to be civilized, and then escorted by a few clansmen who were in Beijing to take a boat to Lu.
Especially at this time, the bandits in the east and west of the mountains have not yet been cleared, and it is inconvenient for Hulala to take her female dependents to pull a lot of luggage on the road.
There is also a reason why many people go to Shandong.
That day, Shen Rui got the news that he was going to Shandong, and when he went home, he held a small family meeting.
Yang Tian was going to follow.
On Xu's side, although his body is still healthy, he is getting older, and there are no major illnesses and minor illnesses.
Shen Rui was a little entangled, on the one hand, she was worried about her mother's body, afraid that the car and horses would tire her; On the other hand, he hopes that she can go out for a walk, like the old people around him in his previous life, it is good to travel and see the scenery, especially Dengzhou Linhai, the climate is pleasant, and it is also a livable place, maybe she can change to a warm and humid environment and her body can be better.
Xu did not hesitate at all, and said that he would follow his son to the post. It's not that she doesn't believe in Yang Tian's ability to manage the family, Yang Tian has been in good order in the year since she got married, which has made the Xu family quite satisfied.
In fact, the Xu family let go of foreign appointments with Shen Cang in his early years, and he knew best that no matter the local officials, small officials, or even gentry and village elders, they were not easy to get along with.
The son was young and let go of his foreign post, and he was a big man in a place, and he didn't know how many calculations he had to face; Yang Tian's bride was tender-faced, but she was afraid that many things would not be easy to pull down her face and refuse, so the Xu family couldn't rest assured, so she decided to follow.
In the end, she is a second-class fate, and she has the status of this lady's elder, and she can be calmed down on many occasions.
But within two days, Shen Rui learned the news of Dai Dabin's mother's sudden death from heart disease, and he was scared again, for fear that he would be tired of the Xu family, so he changed the euphemism of the law to persuade the Xu family to stay.
Xu naturally also knew about Dai's mother, and when he saw his son being so filial, he couldn't help ironing, but he still insisted that he was fine, and he wouldn't be so tired by taking the boat in the future, so that Shen Rui didn't have to worry about her.
Although Shen Rui was worried, she couldn't persuade her, and then she raised her eyes and became angry, and Shen Rui had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, more and more people were ready to follow Shen Rui later, and He and Zhang Qingbai were able to take care of Xu, so he was a little relieved.
Lu Erqilang's daughter-in-law Zhang Qingbai stayed in Beijing, first, to take care of some business in the Lu family's capital, and then to have a good relationship with the Shen family.
As soon as she heard that the Shen family's small long house was going to Shandong, she was very happy to follow her back to her hometown in Shandong.
Lu Twenty-seven Lang had been out trading all year round, and she was in charge of everything at home, and now she didn't send a letter to Shanxi, so she began to arrange everything for the shop in Beijing, and she was ready to go home with her baggage.
As for her father, Tianliangzi...... Her father is also an immortal now, unless she goes to the temple to offer incense, she can't see it ordinarily, and her father has never needed her to take care of it.
Zhang Qingbai went to the temple to inform her, and Tianliangzi took a few boxes of commonly used appetizers, antidiarrheal tubes, headaches, brain fever, and other pills to her, and there was nothing else.
As for the He family, after she got the pension, she also bought a house and property in Beijing, but Yang Tian had not entered the door at that time, she helped the Shen family manage the family as a righteous daughter, and the child was small, so she had been living in the Shen family.
After Yang Tian passed the door, the Xu family did not let their mother and son go, after all, the young woman was alone with young children and had a large property, and it was not so reassuring to be in the capital, a place where the powerful and powerful were like clouds, dragons and snakes were mixed.
He felt that Xu's sincerity was treated, and Brother Xiao Nan had also been enlightened to study with Shen Zhou, so he continued to live.
Her mother and son were placed in an independent courtyard on West Road, with a spacious house, an independent kitchen, and an independent corner door leading directly to the outside of the house, which was also very convenient.
Now that the Xu family is going south with his son, it will be a little embarrassing for the righteous daughter of the He family to stay in the Shen Mansion any longer.
And she used to be in charge of the house.
Now the small long room of Shen Mansion is going to Ludi, and there is no hostess in the small second room, so there is only the small third room left.
The second master, Shen Zhou, wrapped his luggage and went to live in the academy. Originally, Qingze Academy and Qingyi Academy were booming, and he was also extremely busy, not returning to the house once for ten days and half a month.
The third lady has the same temperament as dough, and she has been said to be a housekeeper for so many years, but in fact, she has never taken any ideas.
When He moved out, he was worried that he would lose his support, and when he bought the house, there was no empty house for sale in Renshoufang, and the location she bought was still quite far away from the Shen Mansion, and if anything happened, it would not be able to take care of it.
If she stays, then the third wife here can't take care of the house, and she can't help or not.
And she also knew that the third wife was not the Xu family, although she was a good person, her ears were too soft, and her mother's family had a gap with the Shen Mansion because of the Shen Zhou incident, if someone provoked her, it would make her more difficult in the future.
So after thinking about it, He also decided to follow Xu.
The clansmen in Beijing originally came to Shen Rui, and the third master, an idle Chinese scholar, didn't need anyone to help, so Shen Ying left two households there, and the rest said that they wanted to go with Shen Rui.
Most of these clansmen who went north were not wealthy in the clan, and they had already heard that the Shen family also had a livelihood in Shandong, and the clansmen in the past were all developed, and now Shen Rui went to Shandong as an official, and they all happily followed along.
In this way, it is a large team that goes to Ludi.
The Xu family went a few months later, and he also wanted to teach the third wife to manage the house, and he wanted to arrange some servants in key positions, and then ask Shen Ying's wife to come over from time to time to take care of one or two, which could be safe.
Originally, the Shen family's small long house left, and Shen Zhou went to the academy again, leaving a third master who was just a small middle scholar, and there was nothing worthy of others' calculations.
As long as the Shen family doesn't have that black-hearted servant, nothing will happen.
*
Let's say that Shen Rui and Dai Dabin travel together, they are all several big cars pulling luggage and sundries, and they are accompanied by more than a dozen servant guards, which belongs to the standard configuration of the son of the family when he goes out, which is very ordinary and inconspicuous.
Shen Rui didn't bring a maid here, only the little maid was long, and in addition, it was Yang Tinghe's master. Among the guards, he left Changshou to take care of everything at home, and took Tian Shun with him.
Tian Shun is also born in a snake letter, and he can speak like his senior brother, and he can talk about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees people, and he dots along the road, which is much more appropriate than Zhang Chenglin and others who were trained by Changshou.
Dai Dabin and Lin Fuyu sold all the servants they bought in Beijing, only brought back three or five servants brought back from Fujian, and then hired two dart masters and ten executioners under them from Shunfeng Biaoxing.
The group went out of the capital division like this, went straight out of the realm of Shuntianfu, and when they arrived at Hejian Mansion, more than a dozen cavalry guards came to converge. The leader is Du Laoba's cousin Wang Stick.
He had previously participated in the plan to save Wang Yue on behalf of Du Laoba, so he had been to Shandong and had a good understanding of the terrain of the three eastern provinces of Shandong. He had been in contact with Shen Rui all the way and was relatively familiar, so he was sent by Du Laoba to protect Shen Rui.
There are too many people in the capital and it is difficult to let too many people follow, Du Laoba got the news that Shen Rui was going to Shandong, so he scattered the brothers early.
It's not just Wang Stick, there are other brothers in front, or life or secret protection, and some green forest characters along the way are also greeting.
The people on the road didn't dare to rob the officials, Du Laoba This is also another layer of insurance, and the local head snake is always well-informed, there are too many rogues in Shandong, and there is any wind and grass and expect the head snake to report the news.
Shen Rui finally enjoyed the benefits of the post stores set up by the Eight Immortals Car Dealership, outside of the post stations, these stations replenished dry food and drinking water, and even repaired cars and horses, which were very cheap.
In the end, the territory of Beizhili is where the Jingshi is located, which is much more peaceful, and there are few homeless people, and there is nothing to say all the way.
When the north was about to go out of Zhili, the weather finally warmed, and the pedestrians also brought news that the canal was opened, and the ships to the south of the Ande Water Post were already open.
Shandong Jinan Prefecture Dezhou is the leading to Beijing water and land rush, because there are nine provinces into Beijing waterway dry road all have to pass through Dezhou, known as "Jiuda Tianqu" and "Shenjing Gateway" said, under the Ande County, there are Ande water station, Ande horse post, can pass through water and land.
Shen Rui and Dai Dabin will divide the road here, Shen Rui will take the land route to the east, and Dai Dabin will change the water route to the south.
The group rested at the Liangdian post at the junction of Beizhili and Shandong, and packed the things first, and the manpower had to be redistributed.
When Dai Dabin left Beijing, he brought out from the Shunfeng Marker was an ordinary executioner, and now Shen Rui has replaced him with some people with better martial arts.
One of them is also Tian Shun's deputy, who was originally eating with Tian Shun in the green forest of southern Fujian, and this time he asked Ying to escort Dai Dabin back to Fujian, preparing to pull more people in Fujian and go to Shandong to cast Shen Rui.
After some distribution, everyone rested early.
Wang Stick came to Shen Rui's side, and sent someone to guard outside the door, before he lowered his voice and said to Shen Rui: "Second master, Ding Dachong has sent news, we are just afraid that people will target us." I just looked, and there was something wrong. Among the people who were eating in the front yard just now, some people only floated to our side. ”
Shen Rui couldn't help frowning, what's the situation?
When they stayed at the post station all the way, they all showed their identities, and they all greeted them on the green forest road, but they had many cars, horses, and luggage, and they were not rich......
That's not a robbery.
It's for revenge.
"Can you do it accurately?" Shen Rui asked with a calm face.
Wang Stick said without hesitation: "Nine times out of ten." But even if it's not, we have to be more careful. ”
Unexpectedly, Shen Rui thought of Liu Jin chasing and killing Wang Yue.
He boasted that he didn't have such a deep grudge with Liu Jin, and Liu Jin had a lot of eyes and ears in the court, and he wouldn't know why the little emperor sent him to Shandong this time.
If you want to kill him at this time, you must not only bear the revenge of Wang Hua, Yang Ting and the two elders, but also face the anger of the little emperor. Liu Jin shouldn't do such a stupid thing yet.
Then, he thought that Liu Jin was now angry because of the rumors about recruiting his son-in-law Dai Dabin.
This is, Liu Jin wants to attack Dai Dabin?
In the history of his previous life, Liu Jin not only killed Wang Yue, but also chased and killed Wang Shouren! It is said that Wang Shouren escaped by jumping into the river and dwindling to death.
For those you don't like, just kill them. Usually, that's not how politics plays. But Liu Jin himself is not a politician.
His methods are so rampant and straightforward, for example, with heavy flails.
"You and Junzi go to the bottom of the idea first to see how many people are staring at us." Shen Rui looked directly into Wang Gongzi's eyes and said, "If you find a brother who understands water, you will change to Dai Gongzi." ”
These people had never done anything before, and at this time, they were afraid that they wanted to wait for them to separate, and then attack Dai Dabin alone. Dai Dabin took a boat, and the easiest way was to scuttle the boat in the river.
Wang Stick has been perfectly trained in stalking and anti-stalking, and when he saved Wang Yue, he successfully countered the stalker, so he patted his chest to ensure that he could find out those who were stalking.
He also said with pity: "If it's okay in the wilderness, those tails behind can be disposed of quietly." This one is next to the canal, and they are all prosperous villages and towns, so it is not easy to move. ”
Shen Ruihu asked, "It's not easy for us to do it, and it's not easy for them to do it." They're not going to burn down the station, are they? ”
Wang Stick said in his mouth: "Burn the post station?!" That's a felony, and wouldn't it be even more troublesome for the court to track it down. ”
But in the end, I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I went downstairs to call Tian Shun and Zhang Chenglin, went to see the wind direction, and checked around again, looking at the grass in the stables and the oil tanks under the kitchen, in case someone piled up oil and set fire.
At the end of the day, the guards were divided into several teams to take turns.
Shen Rui also slept very lightly, and he would wake up at the slightest movement.
But the night was all right.
The next day, it entered the territory of Shandong, and it took less than a day to arrive at Andeyi.
Shen Rui ordered the guards on duty yesterday to go to the car and sleep for a while, and the rest of the people were all under martial law and paid attention to the surrounding movements.
Dai Dabin and Lin Fu Yuyuan are both horseback riding, and they usually occasionally come out to ride horses to move their muscles, but today Shen Rui asked them both to get into the car, and they didn't come out until Ande.
Shen Rui didn't explain anything to Dai Dabin, and this kind of thing was just his personal speculation. He only told them that there were bandits in Shandong, and it was better to be careful.
Dai Dabin did not object, and honestly got into the car with his cousin.
One morning, when everyone stopped to eat dry food and rest, a dart master who had run this road several times also said: "There is a disaster and famine in the south, and there are fewer merchants on this road." When I visited here the year before last, the road was full of people and trucks pulling goods, and there were many mothers-in-law from nearby villages carrying water to sell on the roadside. ”
All the standard men are low-level rough people, and their words are meaty: "Why is the mother-in-law selling water?" Is it to sell water or people? "You don't understand this, the mother-in-law's water is extra sweet......"
The dart master spat at the crowd, "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." It was near the wharf, and the work of loading and unloading people on the wharf was more profitable than digging food in the soil, so the men all went to the wharf, and the remaining mother-in-law in the village saw that there were many pedestrians, so they came up with the idea of selling water to buy food. ”
Everyone went to make fun of Dong Da Niu, who was bored and eating cakes over there, "It's Da Niu's peers." "Big Niu, go back to the dock and let them see how Hercules does his work."
Dong Da Niu was originally powerful, and in the past two years by Shen Rui's side, he has followed Changshou and Zou Feng to learn kung fu, and Shen Rui took him with him when he came out this time.
I didn't think about it as a guard, although he was domineering in kung fu, he was still that mindless appearance, and he really couldn't point to him to be flexible on the spot.
Shen Rui was thinking that his strength might be useful in Dengzhou, such as a stone lion or something to deter some oil mice.
Because Guizhi's mother became more and more embarrassed by Yang Tian's side, Shen Rui also valued Dong Daniu, and specially invited the captain of Jinyi to teach him martial arts. No one makes fun of him in Pingsuri, but he has a lot of maintenance.
The people on the side of the dart bureau didn't care much about the jokes, and someone from the Shen family's guards came out to relieve Dong Daniu.
Dong Daniu didn't realize it, he only ate his own bread, and someone handed him water, so he opened his mouth and laughed stupidly.
At this time, Qi Sheng, the chief attendant beside Shen Rui, lifted the curtain and called Wang Stick over.
Wang Gongzi knew that Shen Rui attached great importance to Dong Da Niu, thinking that Shen Rui was dissatisfied because he saw Dong Da Niu being teased, so he glared at the dart masters who were talking nonsense, and then got into the car in two steps.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rui said: "Have the brothers outside sent a message to you, is there any movement around?" ”
Wang Stick was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." What's the matter, the second master doesn't look right? ”
Shen Rui said: "No, I just listened to the conversation of a few people outside, although there are many villages nearby, there are almost no men. Even if something happened, the women and children did not dare to come out to see it. Now it is between Liangdian Station and Ande Station, there is no front and back, and there are not many people on the road, but it is a good place to start. ”
I just had a full lunch, and I was basking in the warm sun, so I was afraid that I would be sleepy. This is also the best time to start.
Without waiting for Shen Rui to finish speaking, Wang Stick couldn't sit still, and immediately said, "Son, I'll take a look." With that, he quickly jumped out of the carriage, greeted Tian Shun, ordered two people, mounted the horse and ran away.
Shen Rui also got out of the car and squinted his eyes and looked around.
At this time, the sun is in the middle of the day, the sun is scorching, and after standing for a long time, I only feel that my eyes are white and shaking, as if I want to see people clearly.
There is not even a raised hill, and the village seems to be on the horizon at a glance.
Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh dumbly, could he be nervous, with such a terrain, he still wanted to set up an ambush first, isn't it too child's play.
The dart masters over there were all full of food and drink, and when they saw Shen Rui coming out, they came over to greet him, and then went over to tidy up the horses and prepare for the road.
Shen Rui walked over and saw that Dong Da Niu was still struggling with a piece of bread, chewing vigorously, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and just wanted to say, "Drink saliva and eat again", but he heard the sharp whistle over there, which was the code of Wang Stick's warning.
The surrounding dart masters immediately became alert, got on their horses one after another, and soon had the experience to set up a formation, drive several cars in one place, and circle them into a protective circle.
Shen Rui shouted "Big Bull on the horse", and he quickly rode on the horse, and went to the car of the Dai Dabin brothers and the master, telling them to hide in the car and not come out.
Brother Dai Dabin was frightened for a while, and asked Shen Rui: "But there are rogues?" ”
Shen Rui didn't have time to explain more, so he only said: "Not necessarily, don't panic, we have a lot of good hands." ”
Dai Dabin wanted to lift the curtain of the car to take a look, but Lin Fuyu pulled him to prevent him from moving, and said with relief: "Don't make trouble for Hengyun." The rogues are all rabble, not afraid, not afraid......"
Having said that, his voice was shaky and out of tune, which showed that he was still very afraid.
Dai Dabin was even more worried, although the Liukou was not successful in martial arts, but in case there were many people......
But at this time, he had no power to restrain the chicken, and he couldn't help but swear in his heart that if he went home safely this time, in the past three years, he would practice martial arts like Brother Hengyun.
Shen Rui looked in the direction of the whistle from then on, first saw Wang Stick and the other three horsemen rushing quickly, and soon, a group of people followed behind.
There was no rain or snow, the dust on the spring road was dry, and the horses' hooves stepped on, raising a huge amount of smoke and dust, so it was impossible to tell how many people came. But listening to the sound of hooves, there is no less.
Shen Rui's heart sank.
This is not only to kill Dai Dabin, but I am afraid that he wants to leave himself behind.
A wave of ruthlessness surged up in his heart, Lao Tzu came to Daming, not to cushion your back, Lao Tzu still wants to do a career in Shandong, how can you wait to hurt me!
He held the long knife that had been hidden in the car in his hand, this knife was given to him by Lu Liulang, it was more ornamental, the knife handle was inlaid with gold and inlaid treasures, but because it was the skill of building a knife, it was extremely sharp and the weight was appropriate, Shen Rui used it very handy, so he found someone to change it, wrapped the knife handle in skin, changed it to be simple and easier to hold, and used it every time he practiced the knife.
This time I came out and brought it with me, which is also a backup self-defense. I didn't expect it to work, so I'm still using it here.
He had imagined what he would be like when he faced the killing, how could killing a beast be the same as killing someone, and how would killing a person by torture be the same as directly slashing someone. He never knew what kind of mentality he would use to face it.
He thought it would be in Dengzhou, facing pirates, but he didn't want to be here, facing eagle dogs who didn't know who it was.
And when it came to the end, he didn't have any mentality.
Only in my spare time do I think about those useless things, what emotions, what mentalities.
When it came to life and death, his eyes were only fixed on the direction of the whistle, as if there was a task there and he was about to complete it.
A life-and-death mission. You die. I live.
*
There was a tall man with good eyesight standing on the car, holding a pergola and looking into the distance, constantly broadcasting the enemy situation to everyone, "Not too many, thirty or forty, not as many as us!" ”
"Call the stick master and they are far away, they can't do this horse, let's go back and chop their useless horses to drink!"
When he said this, he laughed and his morale was greatly boosted.
However, not long after, the man suddenly screamed, "No, they have bows and arrows!" Hu Datou has arrows on his body! ”
Everyone was shocked, and Shen Rui's face also changed, and he shouted: "Surround the car outside!" Daniel! Stand up the cart and leave the luggage alone! ”
It's too late to enter the village, so make a bunker on the spot.
Everyone received orders one after another, Dong Daniu has a bad brain and doesn't know how to think, but he has been trained to respond very quickly to orders, pointing where to hit.
He immediately lifted up the next few flatbed carts directly, and regardless of the luggage scattered on the ground, he set up a row of carts in three or two clicks, and the ones with the carriages were also pulled on both sides as a block.
The men who are good at riding horses, but they have never fought horses, and these years the street bastards just learn some fists and feet, and who wants to learn horse warfare if they don't go to the battlefield.
"If they come rushing at us, let us dismount and cut off the legs with our swords!" A dart master shouted. The crowd agreed.
The men quickly clarified the division of labor, which people hid behind the cart and waited for the rain of arrows to pass before killing, and which people rode horses to fight guerrilla.
Anyone who knows the business knows that a person's arm strength is limited, and there are not many arrows that can be shot continuously. And I heard that it usually shoots one round first, and it's basically going to rush up.
As long as the horse runs fast, the arrow may not be able to hit, and there is a chance to disrupt the opponent's formation.
The dart masters pulled Dai Dabin and the master's car a little farther away, and divided their hands to protect it.
The man standing on the car and looking at the car was still reporting, "They also looked at our side of the car, a few people shot sticks with arrows to them, damn it, forget the eight lambs, if they didn't shoot just now, they must be hiding arrows to deal with us." ”
Shen Rui calmly analyzed: "There are not too many people who know how to bow and arrow. They won't have too many arrows either. ”
This is Texas, not a border town, where did so many elite cavalry come from!
The last time they killed Wang Yue, they didn't use bows and arrows.
People are not allowed to have bows and arrows, if you really want to hurt people with arrows, you can't leave a living mouth, and you must dig out the arrows one by one, even if the corpse burns and can't see the wound, the arrows can't be burned, and leaving the arrows is equivalent to exposing yourself.
This time the arrow was used, which showed that it was to kill everyone here, and not one was left.
Shen Rui sneered, since someone hates him to such an extent, then, he will not die!
The king's horse ran as fast as he could, and when he got away from the men, he shouted as he rushed from a distance: "Damn the eight lambs hide in the village and let out cold arrows." I sent a signal, and in a moment the brothers in the back gathered around, and the big ones wrapped up the group of forgotten lambs. ”
Hearing that the signal had been released, reinforcements would arrive immediately, and everyone was even more energetic.
At that moment, Tian Shun and Zhang Chenglin each led their guerrilla squads to attack separately and meet the three of Wang Stick.
The other party began to shoot arrows again, and as Shen Rui expected, the man on the lookout shouted that there were less than ten people with bows, and the rest were with knives and spears, and they did not carry arrow bags.
Na Tian Shun and Zhang Chenglin are also quite experienced, and after discovering this, they asked people to deliberately bully people to lead people to release arrows, and then immediately fled far away, consuming the opponent's already small number of arrows.
When the arrows were exhausted, the team behind them, who were assigned to hide behind the cart, got on their horses one after another, and Liu Zhuang led them to rush over to engage in the battle.
However, the two sides were in a scuffle, and a ridiculous scene happened, many of the two teams of people and horses only knew how to ride horses, and they didn't know how to fight horses, so they simply jumped down and waved their knives.
So the horse completely became a means of transport, and the mission was accomplished when people were carried over.
Shen Rui rode into the battle group, and when he saw this, he ignored the people standing on the ground and took those who were still on the horse.
Especially those with quivers.
In the melee, bows and arrows have long been useless, and those people have abandoned their bows and held swords, but the quivers are inconvenient to untie, so they have become a sign of brightness.
The sword was extremely sharp, and soon it was full of blood, Shen Rui cut down several riders along the way, and Qi Sheng and Wang Stick followed closely behind him, protecting him tightly.
However, in the battle of 100 people, the field was already chaotic, blood was splashed, and the shouts of killing and pain were intertwined, making people's brains dizzy, and there was no reason at all, only mechanical killing remained.
In the chaos, Shen Rui suddenly heard a person over there shouting, "Don't fight, go and kill the little white face in the car first!" Shen Rui didn't want to raise his knife and rush straight over.
The man suddenly saw someone riding a horse and killed him, and he was startled and raised his gun with both hands to meet him, and between the lightning and flint, the man subconsciously exclaimed: "Shen Rui?!" ”
Shen Rui didn't hesitate for a moment, he had already turned his hand and made a few moves, the man was stabbed in his right arm, and the spear was out of his hand, but he desperately pulled his neck and shouted: "Shen Rui is not in the car!" Come the fuck on! ”
Shen Rui was shocked, didn't he go to Dai Dabin, but to himself? He didn't have time to think about it, but he struck the man with a single blow, and turned to meet the enemy who had been drawn by the man's shout.
Qi Sheng and Wang Stick also worked very hard, but the kung fu of this group of riders was obviously much better than those who dismounted, and the two of them couldn't help but hang up their colors.
It seems that after a long time, they don't know how many people have been cut, and it seems to be just a moment, not long after they started fighting, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and some people shouted "kill the liukou" and "protect the second master", but it was Ding Dachong and others who had arranged for Du Laoba to secretly protect Shen Rui had arrived.
The two sides flanked, and the gang immediately became confused.
I don't know if the leader was hacked to death by Shen Rui, this group of people was no longer able to gather, but some people wanted to lead the crowd to escape, but they couldn't break through the encirclement.
Here, Qi Sheng and Wang Stick had already escorted Shen Rui out of the battle circle and watched the battle on the side of the carriage.
There were also several corpses next to the carriage, which had been knocked down by the dart master who was guarding Dai Dabin. It was probably because they shouted that Shen Rui was not in the car, and no one came over here.
Seeing Shen Rui and others coming back, Dai Dabin and Lin Fuyu also had the courage to get out of the car, Shen Rui comforted them and asked them to go back to the car and not get down.
Wang Stick drank a water bag with a bang, wiped his face, shouted happily, and then turned his head and asked Shen Rui, who was staring at the battlefield, "Second master, do you want to stay alive?" ”
Shen Rui's face was covered with blood, so people couldn't see his expression, and he could only hear his cold voice: "It doesn't matter, if there is a surrender, stay first, and if there is no one, you don't need to deliberately catch it alive." It is important not to hurt us. ”
Wang Gongzi responded and said to Qi Sheng: "Protect the second master, I will replace Shunzi and Lao Zhang." With that, he drove his horse over again.
After a while, Chang ran over with Zhang Chenglin and Liu Zhuang, turned over and dismounted, and asked Shen Rui, "How is the second master?" ”
Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's nothing." He looked at Liu Zhuang's blood-stained sleeves and said, "How are you hurt?" ”
Liu Zhuang said: "Second master, rest assured, it's okay." ”
Zhang Chenglin still carefully looked at Shen Rui and confirmed that he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't think that such a thing would happen." We still have a short experience, if Brother Changshou is here, we will not let the second master be frightened. ”
Liu Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "Where did you come from to kill talents, you will chop them up and feed them to the dogs when you turn around!" ”
Shen Rui patted them on the shoulder and said, "You have done a very good job. It's hard to predict. ”
As he spoke, Wang Stick, Tian Shun, and Ding Dachong had quickly ended the battle with an overwhelming margin.
After counting, only five of the forty-three people on the other side were alive, and seven of Shen Rui's guards and dart masters were killed, four were seriously injured, and more than ten were lightly injured.
This is the official road, it is not a secluded place, there are always merchants to pass by, but about to see the fight here, the merchants only seek safety outside, and no one dares to come over, and some people run back to Ande County to report to the official.
Here, Tian Shun also sent people to the village to buy water, and went to Ande to ask for a doctor and buy medicine for injuries.
Shen Rui simply wiped his hands and hair with water, went back to the car to change out of his dirty clothes, and when he came out, Wang Stick came to see him with a strange face.
"Second master, one of the five said to be an insider, and it was Liu Jin who sent them to kill Dai Ye, saying that Dai Ye didn't know how to raise and annoyed Liu Jin." Wang Stick's voice was lowered, "Brothers, look, that man, and a few dead people with quivers on their backs, are all eggless. The man said that the people next to him were all rogues he had hired, and if he wanted to kill someone, he would push them on the rogue. ”
Tian Shun said on the side: "Didn't the first Gao Ye (Gao Wenhu) come to Shandong to suppress bandits, Du Baye let the post shops of the Eight Immortals here all help, I also asked in the post shop all the way, Gao Ye They are in Puzhou and Caozhou to suppress bandits, and there are no bandits here." ”
Wang Stick nodded and said: "Exactly, I also want to say this, and the brothers on this road also said that there are no rogues in this area, if there are these people, it is impossible for them not to hear the movement." ”
Shen Rui nodded and said, "Go and continue to ask, just say that I know they are coming for me." It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth, I didn't plan to keep them to confront anyone in court, so I just took care of it. ”
Wang Stick smiled and said hello.
After a while, Wang Stick's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a low voice: "It's a person who can resist the punishment, and he broke ten toes before he said that he was from Dongchang." But, isn't Qiu Ju already in prison? I knocked him on the leg bone again, but he didn't change his words, only said that Qiu Ju sent him to kill the second master. ”
Five days after Shen Rui and the others set off, Jingli quickly sent news that the testimony of the woman who had accused Qiu Ju was in line with the evidence sent back by Wang Yue, and Qiu Ju was so mad that he sent the woman to the prison and killed her. The emperor was furious, Qiu Ju and his henchmen were sent to the Beizhen Fusi Prison, Qiu Ju several private houses, shops, and farms were confiscated, and it is said that there were nearly 10 million taels of gold and silver.
Wang Stickzi was amazed and said that this was not a sea of gold and silver.
Tian Shun also said that he had seen the treasure house hidden by the sea bandits on the island, and that was probably it.
Shen Rui knew that the richness of these eunuchs was staggering, and he remembered that he had read the information in his previous life, and when he confiscated Liu Jin's family property, there were hundreds of millions of gold and silver, and countless treasures. And looking further, when Wang Zhen, the great eunuch of the orthodox dynasty, was raided, he was "more than 60 treasury of gold and silver, 100 jade plates, and more than 20 corals six or seven feet high.
This shows who the wealth of the world has gone to.
Wang Gongzi thought that since Qiu Ju and his gang were served in a pot, it was impossible to send someone out again, so this person's confession must be a lie.
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Alert as you are, I didn't notice anyone following me along the way." I'm afraid that people will be sent out first, so they will wait for me here. ”
And Dai Dabin.
Since he can frame Liu Jin to kill Dai Dabin, if you think about it, Qiu Ju is also calculated.
Shen Rui thought about it, Qiu Ju spread rumors to provoke Liu Jin, and he secretly told the emperor about the emperor's grandson, but he was afraid that he would have been laying out this game a long time ago.
He sneered and instructed the king to say, "Before the officers and soldiers come, collect all the arrows that fell along the way, and search all these people, bows, quivers, arrows, and some waist cards that can prove their identities." It was divided into two parts, one of which was handed back to Beijing and given to Liu Jin. ”
However, perhaps before his "evidence" was delivered to Liu Jin, Qiu Ju would have died in Beizhen Fusi Prison.
Without this false accusation, Liu Jin couldn't bear Qiu Ju either, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
Wang Stick couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Shen Rui glanced at him, and continued to command: "The people who tell us are Liukou." ”
Only then did Wang Stick answer.
Shen Rui turned his head to Tian Shun and said, "Shunzi worked hard to make a trip to the Texas Guard near the left, and said that the chief of the guard department would give them a great credit for suppressing bandits." Be quick, look at the time, the people in Ande County can't make it before dark today, then they will only send people tomorrow. Before noon to-morrow, you are to bring the soldiers of the guard. These people can't be killed by us. ”
