Chapter 53: The Way of the World
There are more than ten miles away from the county seat of Gu'an Station, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and there are no populated markets nearby, and the group can't help but breathe a sigh of relief: there is finally a good place to rest.
The post station specializes in receiving officials for official business, and it is the county guest house and post office, which is provided by the county government at the expense of the county government...... The only difference is that the hospitality meals are provided according to the rank of the official. Don't underestimate the post man, Mr. Li Zicheng was fired by the postal office, unemployed, and then he embarked on the road of a great armed uprising.
Yi Cheng personally greeted the door, he had already received the official letter, and the Ministry of Industry traveled in the camp, and in modern times, it was a department-level cadre who came down to the place, even if this cadre dragged his family with his mouth, can you not serve well?
Jia Cong dismounted, the mule carriage was fed and guarded by the post guards, and when he walked into the gate of disrepair, the air was fresh, but this post office really did not dare to compliment, except for the south gate, the houses on three sides were all dilapidated: it is estimated that the Gu'an County government could not afford to pay for it, and the affected areas were understandable.
Yi Cheng entertained the meal, in the small hall in the north, Jia Cong and Qin Zhong came out full, the two brothers chattered and said that the eight strands of literature are more difficult to do, Qin Zhong is a little bitter, although he can't catch up with Jia Cong, under the butterfly effect, he has tried to do Shiwen, squatting under the steps, Qin Zhong said cautiously: "Zili, I feel that the eight strands of the imperial court examination are very problematic......
"Yes, senior brother." Jia Cong deeply agrees, it's not easy, it's not easy to be understood. When the two returned to the east hut arranged by the post, Jia Cong saw a familiar man coming out of the next door, going to the stable in front of him, and asking the postman to take care of his horse.
That person is not who it is, it is Yu Biao, who has seen Jinyiwei Baihu twice, Jia Cong thought awefully: "Jinyiwei...... By the way, the post stations of the Shun Dynasty are likely to be Jinyi Guards! ”
As soon as this idea came out, Jia Cong pinched a sweat for Teacher Qin: Fortunately, Qin Ye is not a big corrupt official, and his personality is softer, otherwise where can he hide it, Emperor Yongle is implementing a new policy, and he knows it.
At this time, Yu Biao turned around and saw Jia Cong, he was not stunned, his eyes were still indifferent and cold towards life, and he hugged his fists and said: "Jia Gongzi, you and I are really destined, are you from Gu'an, who came from Qin Langzhong?" Is it convenient to speak? ”
"Hyakho-sama, please." Jia Cong did not hesitate, he welcomed into the room, murderous, it was the usual momentum of Jinyiwei, these executioners, all of them were ruthless characters, Jia Cong didn't know what this person was looking for him to do, so he dealt with it carefully.
"Jia Gongzi and Wanping Luo Guoqi have a holiday?" Yu Biao sat in an old, unpainted, cracked wooden chair, seemingly asking casually.
Is this a trial of him? Jia Cong didn't answer first, he wanted to make a big salute, Jinyiwei asked you, there is no reason, and Yu Biao is the emperor, he must salute, Yu Biao held it: "In the private room, there is no need to do this." It's just that this Luo Guoqi has a bit of a holiday with my lieutenant. ”
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, Jia Cong sat down opposite him calmly, his expression calm, without panic. Yu Biao showed appreciation: there are few people who are not afraid of them.
"What can't be solved by a hundred households, there must be someone in his court, but those who can manage the fame of Xiucai are not only academic politics, but also patrol ......" Jia Cong took the tea handed by Sun Fu and handed it to Yu Biao.
"I heard that Liu Yushi praised Jia Gongzi?" Yu Biao took a sip lightly, ordered it, and said goodbye.
Jia Cong is not surprised, the most terrifying thing about Jin Yiwei is not only the means of execution, but also the intelligence of spying, there is no need to question it, Qin Ye's old background is archived in them, as Qin Ye's students, they know this, it is normal, but this feeling is very uncomfortable. A person, whose private life is known to others, can he be comfortable?
"Master Cong, what is the matter with Master Qin?" Sun Fu went out and came in again, and Qin Ye was worried.
"Nothing." Jia Cong was as calm as ever, he couldn't be uncomfortable, at least the situation was not bad, and he could pull an ally, outside Long Aotian scratched his head and came in: "Master Cong, the post guard came from a letter from the first-class general of Xifu." ”
It's Jia Yu, Jia Cong opened it and took a look: I haven't returned home for a long time, if you don't come back from the test, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!
Jia Cong pinched the rice paper, the handwriting was not as good as his, and he also learned Zhang Xu's wild grass, which looked funny, but in fact, it was not funny at all in feudal society, Jia Yu really did it, after all, it was publicized and promoted in the early stage...... Whether it is the extremely bad big family behind him, or the pressure of the imperial examination, or the danger of the people in front of him, these all make Jia Cong's mood heavy.
……
In the post room next door, Captain Chu groped for the dangling iron hook in his hand, "Big brother, this breath brother will definitely not swallow!" When has the brother suffered such a dumb loss! Yes, that Chen Jingfu had an affair with me, but she is not a married woman, and if we don't publicize it, we can still form a marriage...... hated Na Luo Xiucai, and forced her to death with a piece of paper...... Brother must let him taste the taste of Jinyiwei's execution! ”
"Brother, I understand." Yu Biao's powerful big hand pressed on Captain Chu's broad shoulder: "But he is not an ordinary talent, no matter the place or the court, there are people who speak, we are not reckless, can you move him?" ”
Captain Chu said angrily: "Big brother! We are serving the emperor! Why can't you judge him? Isn't his crime enough? Why be timid? ”
"Stupid!" Yu Biao scolded in a low voice, and said fiercely: "You think I don't want to? Do you think Big Brother feels good? Xiu Curtain is still in the Teaching Division! How much effort did it take me to get through the joints of the Criminal Department? Behind Luo Guoqi is Luo Min of the Ministry of Officials, who is the Ministry of Officials! Are you sober up? How many officials he is in charge of, recommending, appointing and dismissing, and how many cronies he has in the past few years, do you know? ”
Captain Chu mocked unwillingly: "In vain, you are a martial artist, a dignitary, are there fewer people who die under our hands?" ”
Yu Biao closed his eyes and said softly: "This is different, their death, we are on orders, we are just tools!" A group of obedient dogs around the emperor. In this world, a hundred battles and military exploits are not as good as a splendid article, do you understand, even if I am a martial artist, I am helpless. Since there are better people to carry the black cauldron, why should you go? ”
Captain Chu froze in place.
……
As soon as he received the documents, he immediately rented a large courtyard in the east of the city and gave Qin Ye a stay, and claimed that he paid out of his own pocket, which made Qin Ye happy, you said that he was a department-level cadre, how could he not order a show? The coldness in Wanping was all washed away by the "enthusiasm" of Gu'an Zhixian.
After arranging this matter, Li Fengxiang was busy for Luo Guoqi's paper for a while, and then there was news of a nine-magnitude earthquake in the county government: Yu Chenglong, the governor of Zhili, and Liu Dongsheng, the governor of Gyeonggi Province, were about to arrive and came to inspect the river.
It's like five thunderstorms, you said that the director of the Ministry of Construction has no decision-making power, so it's easy to deal with, and now it's terrible! Here comes the governor and secretary of the provincial party committee, and a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! Who dares to snub? Well, put on the black gauze hat, and Li Fengxiang once again went out of the city to greet him.
