Because of the sudden outbreak of civil unrest in Hui'an County, the situation took a sharp turn, and even Cai Lin, the eunuch guarding Yongningwei, had to stand on Shen Xi's side and vigorously advocate for the treatment of Zhang Lian's crime.

As for those officials of the Quanzhou Mansion and Jinjiang County who wanted to bite to the death and refused to confess, they also knew that the general trend had gone when they learned of the Hui'an civil turmoil, and the most important thing at the moment was to make meritorious service and report Zhang Lian to get himself out.

Shen Xi's trial lasted all morning.

By noon, except for a very few cases where there was no confession, almost all the officials of the Quanzhou Prefecture and Jinjiang County Government testified that Zhang Lian had been corrupt and deceived his superiors and subordinates, and the confession, together with Shen Xi's performance, was immediately sent to the capital through the post station express horse. In this way, all of Shen Xi's errands in Quanzhou Mansion were officially completed.

But Shen Xi can't leave in a hurry, because there is a civil unrest in Quanzhou Mansion, and the prefect's yamen is almost a pot, and the main officials of the Jinjiang County Yamen are also involved in the case.

After arranging these, Shen Xi prepared to escort Zhang Lian and the others north. Previously, he had discussed with Liu Jin and the officials who escorted Almeida and others, as well as Xie Yun'er and other family members, met in Nanjing City, and returned to the capital from the Grand Canal to the north.

"When did Lord Shen know that there was chaos in Hui'an County?"

When Shen Xi finished handling the matter, Yu Niang looked at Shen Xi with a little more reverence in her eyes. She even thought that maybe if she was a few years younger, she would really consider committing herself to Shen Xi and not hesitating to be a cow and a horse for Shen Xi.

It's a pity that the years are not forgiving.

Shen Xi knew what Yu Niang wanted to ask, shook his head and said, "I didn't know in advance. ”

Shen Xi didn't tell the truth. He knew about the chaos in Hui'an County, and even before the chaos happened, he knew about the movements of the victims through the channel of the Chamber of Commerce.

This time, Shen Xi quietly infiltrated Quanzhou, and the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce not only provided him with all kinds of conveniences, but also had a stable channel for obtaining information, which was even more comprehensive and accurate than the intelligence network arranged by the imperial court in Fujian. But in front of Yu Niang, Shen Xi couldn't admit that he learned in advance, because this might involve concealing the report and causing trouble to himself.

In Shen Xi's view, the people of Hui'an County had no choice but to besiege the county because they had no way out, and finally lost control and caused a large-scale rebellion. It is said that it is a mob, but in fact it is just a group of hungry people waiting to be fed, and it is not difficult to calm down. Fortunately, before this, the grain raised by the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce had been sent to Quanzhou in time, and in fact, there was grain in the Quanzhou treasury, but the government did not release it before.

Shen Xi's suggestion to Wang He is also to only punish the first evil, pacify first, and suppress as a supplement.

Yu Niang sighed: "Ji people have their own blessings, but Lord Shen may not be easy to deal with when he returns to the capital...... It's the slaves who are causing you problems. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, where is Yu Niang, you are causing me trouble, it is Liu Daxia who is causing me trouble, okay?

From Liu Daxia letting Yu Niang go south with him, to preparing Ma Wensheng's transfer warrant for Yu Niang, all of this seems to have been designed for herself, even if Yu Niang is capable, she has no official position, what qualifications does she have to take the warrant to transfer troops and take people?

Shen Xi said: "There will be disasters and famines every year, if the court is properly lawful, and the local disaster relief is timely, it will definitely not cause civil unrest, and now the most lacking thing in the court is a good official who is responsible for the people." ”

Shen Xi went south this way, and saw a lot of local people, even in the prosperous era known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing", in many places still did not have enough to eat, which is more direct and thorough than what he knew in books...... Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, in the final analysis, Shen Xi was reincarnated as a human being, and he never thought about how to benefit the people before, after this trip to Quanzhou, his mentality finally changed some.

……

……

After communicating with Wang He, Wang He finally sent 150 officers and soldiers, and then helped requisition 50 carriages and coachmen to serve as prisoner carts to escort Zhang Lian and others to the north.

When the prisoner cars drove out of the gate of the Quanzhou Health Bureau, crackling firecrackers sounded inside and outside Luojiang Town......

In the past two years, Quanzhou has suffered from wind disasters and locust plagues, and the crops have failed seriously, but in order to make political achievements, the prefect has constantly exploited the people, making the local people miserable.

The people's hatred for the magistrate is the most direct, they only know that whoever can let them live and work in peace and contentment is a good official, as for Zhang Lian's own greed for a little silver, it is nothing...... You have the ability to be greedy, but as long as we live a good life, it's a pity that you only fatten yourself, but we eat bran and even starve and cold.

Going north from Quanzhou, due to the large number of people and carriages, basically you can only take the land route, but because the prisoner cart does not go fast, it is not as convenient and fast as it comes.

Shen Xi was afraid that someone would rob and kill him on the way, so he couldn't stay in the wilderness directly for the sake of hurrying, so he could only rest at the nearest post station when the hour came, and then hurry after dawn the next day.

In order to be in a hurry, this time he passed through Fuzhou City and did not enter, and it was inevitable that he had a little regret in his heart, not for anything else, just for the simple and kind little girl in Fuzhou City.

Shen Xi felt a sense of guilt, but there was more than one person who was let down by him?

There is also a Lu Xi'er in Tingzhou Mansion who hasn't eaten or drunk for him for two days and two nights...... In order to be able to go to the capital with Shen Xi, Lu Xi'er used the trick of hunger strike, Shen Xi was going to play at that time, and did not stay in Tingzhou Mansion for a long time, pretending to go to Jiangxi with a large team, and quietly went south from Tingjiang in half a way, detouring to Quanzhou.

From beginning to end, Lu Xi'er was in a state of indifference, and Shen Xi felt uncomfortable when he thought of this.

Before Shen Xi left Fujian, he received a letter from Hui Niang through the Chamber of Commerce in Jianning, in which Hui Niang not only wished Shen Xi a safe journey, but also euphemistically expressed that she would fulfill her promise to marry her daughter to him.

Shen Xi didn't say anything, because his feelings for Hui Niang's mother and daughter were complicated.

A lot of things take time.

All the way through the state, Shen Xi was very careful, he was afraid that Cai Lin would send someone to assassinate him, and he was afraid that someone would rob and kill Zhang Lian halfway.

As the convoy left the boundary of Zhejiang and got closer and closer to Nanjing, Shen Xi became more and more cautious. On this day, the convoy set off from Liyang, walked down for a day, because of the continuous rain, the road was delayed, and the night still did not arrive at the post station at the foot of the northwest mountain of Maoshan Mountain, and the line could only continue to move forward in the dark in the wilderness.

Shen Xi was jolting in the carriage and was dizzy, when he heard someone shouting in front of him: "There are thieves robbing prisoners!" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly got out of the carriage, the moon was dark and the wind couldn't see the situation in front clearly, but he heard the sound of swords intersecting, and soon the sound subsided, and a group of black shadows flew away, re-burrowed into the dense forest at the foot of Maoshan Mountain on the right, and disappeared.

"My lord, Governor Zhang's mansion was pierced by a long knife, I'm afraid I can't save it......" A soldier came over to play.

Under the light of the torch, Shen Xi went to check in person, "Zhang Lian" was indeed broken by the knife, the blood was dripping, and even the intestines flowed out, and there was no way to treat it this year.

Shen Xi's expression was sad, but he was relieved in his heart...... The real "Zhang Lian" has been hidden by him, anyway, these prisoners are unkempt, Shen Xi replaced Zhang Lian with another person of similar stature halfway, hiding these soldiers under his hands, and indirectly hiding the people who came to rob and kill.

Because Shen Xi knew that in the team escorting the prisoners to the north, there was the meticulous work of Cai Lin, the eunuch of Yongning Weizhen, or rather, Wang He had an order to let these soldiers escorting the prisoners take the initiative to cooperate with Cai Lin's men.

"When you arrive at the post station, find a coffin to put people in, and find a place to bury it after Nanjing City!" Shen Xi commanded.

Shen Xi didn't choose to bury it on the spot, because he guessed that those who came to rob and kill might be around, so he asked people to carry the body, so that Zhang Lian could not be found in a short period of time, and the convoy would become much safer.

……

……

On the sixth day of May, the group arrived in Nanjing.

When he arrived at the official post in the city, Shen Xi ordered someone to send the coffin containing the corpse to Yizhuang, and after everyone's attention was diverted, let Yu Niang, who had found a helper, quietly take the frightened Zhang Lian on the road, and then go to the branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing to meet Xie Yun'er and Zhang Laowu and others.

At this time, Zhang Lao Wu had just heard that his own family Zhang Lian was investigated by Shen Xi, and he was a little afraid in his heart, worried that Shen Xi would involve him in the case, but seeing that Shen Xi had no intention of pursuing it, he was a little relieved. But because Zhang Lian fell off the horse and "died", Zhang Laowu, the head of the team, couldn't raise his head in front of the officials, and lost his original arrogance and publicity.

"During the days when Xianggong went to Quanzhou, the concubine didn't know how worried, but fortunately, Xianggong came back safely. After all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rush back to the capital at the end of May. ”

Xie Yun'er has been waiting in Nanjing City for almost a month, and she remembers it in her heart these days, and comforts Lin Dai from time to time...... She's actually the one who's the most nervous.

Shen Xi said: "It's late, I don't care about a day or two, let's go to Xie Lao's Wine Mansion tomorrow to pay a visit." ”

Xie Yun'er pursed her lips and smiled: "No need, the concubine got the news, Xie Lao Sacrificial Wine has left for the north and went to the capital." ”

"Gone? What a pity! ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Xie Duo to be reasonable and accept the call of Emperor Hongzhi.

Now Xie Duo is going to the capital as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the priest of the country, which means that Xie Duo will be half of his boss after performing his duties in the capital, and he can go to Xie Duo to have a meal in the future, and discuss his knowledge with him, which is also a beautiful thing to think about.

After all, Shen Xi didn't have any good officials in the capital, and Xie Duo had always been good to him.

"What about Ning'er?" Shen Xi suddenly thought of a question.

Xie Yun'er thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I didn't hear anyone from outside mention it, but I think about it, I was taken to the capital by Xie Lao's sacrificial wine." Xiang Gong Mo is not the one who sent it out...... Reluctant? ”

Seeing that Xie Yun'er's face was slightly surprised, Shen Xi smiled and said, "Yun'er, where do you want to go?" ”

Xie Yun'er showed a wise smile and teased: "No one can figure out Xianggong's thoughts...... However, Xianggong shouldn't have any thoughts about Ning'er, but he ...... about concubines."

Shen Xi took Xie Yun'er into his arms and said proudly: "That's because the husband has a unique vision and knows how to distinguish between good and bad." Actually, I just want to know, Ning'er followed Xie Lao's sacrificial wine, did her life get better or worse? ”

Shen Xi felt that this was a question worth exploring.

Xie Duo took the initiative to go to the capital, did it have anything to do with Ning Er being by his side? But Shen Xi still didn't know Xie Duo's attitude towards Ning Er, and he was a little disrespectful to Xie Duo, who had the friendship of a half-teacher, thinking that Ning Duo's respectful attitude towards Xie Duo and now Xie Duo was a third-grade court official, even if he was a maid by Xie Duo's side, he didn't insult her at all.

Xie Yun'er said: "Since Xie Lao's sacrificial wine has set off, does the prime minister still want to stay in Nanjing City?" ”

Shen Xi thought about it, if he wanted to say that in addition to Xie Duo, he really wanted to meet someone, this person had a deep relationship with him, that is, Tang Yin, who returned to his hometown because of the Ministry of Rites in the first year.

But at the moment, Tang Yin is not in Nanjing, and if Shen Xi wants to see him, he will have to spend three or four days to go to Suzhou to make a round trip, which will seriously drag down his trip.

Thinking of Tang Yin, Shen Xi sighed with emotion, he did not change the fate of this great talent, maybe it seemed a little selfish, but Shen Xi firmly believed that as long as he had a way out, he would help Tang Yin sooner or later, and it would depend on whether the famous Tang Bohu accepted it with a face.

"No need, we will set off for the north tomorrow and return to Beijing as soon as possible to report to the imperial court."
