Shen Xi escorted Almeida and others from Quanzhou, and Zhang Lian's hanging heart was relieved, and he faintly looked forward to it......

As long as Shen Xi returns to the dynasty and tells him about his merits, he will inevitably be added to the ranks.

It's just that Zhang Lian is a little nervous, but Shen Xi didn't accept his bribes, and it's hard to say whether Shen Xi will speak for him.

For the sake of insurance, Zhang Lian wrote a recital in addition to the battle with the Francophone warship in the port of Thornton.

This recital was not directly submitted to the emperor, but was sent in the form of private letters to the court officials who were close to him in the capital, asking them to act on the opportunity.

This recital, but it is to participate in the Qin order envoy Shen Xi to act recklessly in the locality, angering the envoys of the Buddha Lang machine, so that the peace talks could not be achieved, the Buddha Lang machine people made a difficult bombardment of Tonggang, Shen Xi without the approval of the prefect Yamen, without the approval of the prefect Yamen, took people to start a war with the Buddha Lang machine people, if it were not for the timely rescue of the local government, Shen Xi not only died, but also caused the lives of the people of Quanzhou to be miserable.

Despite this, three ships escaped, and they plundered coastal villages and slaughtered local people.

Zhang Lian deliberately reversed the order of the Franc Robot's slaughter of the village and the invasion of Thornton Port, saying that it seemed that it was because Shen Xi did not understand negotiation skills and angered the Franc Robot that led to the invasion of the Franc Robot, and then the Franc Robot was defeated and slaughtered the village in anger when he left.

"Fight with me, you kid is still a little tender!"

Zhang Lian asked people to send the notebook to the capital, and his heart was much more steady.

If you kid know each other, it's okay, and we will share the credit between the two of us; If you don't know each other, I'll let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes.

Zhang Lian put aside the matter of the envoy of the Buddha Langji for the time being, and more troublesome things happened in the counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou...... Because of the resistance of the people of Quanzhou, there were many conflicts with the yamen of the counties. Zhang Lian's order to the county orders of all counties was that anyone who dared to make trouble should only be arrested and questioned.

This trick did work in the beginning, a group of hungry people who couldn't even eat enough, where did they dare to go against the imperial court?

But Zhang Lian underestimated people's instinct to survive, when people really can't survive and are desperate, Wang Fa becomes an ornament, and high-pressure intimidation has no effect.

The hungry people had made a fuss once before when the autumn grain was put into storage in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and then although it subsided, it was because the people had a little grain in their hands, and when the winter came, the spring famine came, and the people even ate all the wild vegetables in the wilderness, and they still couldn't make a living, so they could only get up and make a fuss......

Quanzhou Dehua, Yongchun, Anxi, Tong'an and other counties have had accidents one after another, relying on the official errands of the county government alone, can not stop the footsteps of the hungry people, many landlords' estates have been breached, and the counties and counties under Quanzhou have been closed one after another, preventing the disaster victims from taking the opportunity to occupy the granaries in the county.

"Prefect, what do you think? Lord Qincha has just gone to Tingzhou through my mansion, and if he finds something and goes to the imperial court, this matter will not be good. ”

Zhang Lian said angrily: "He is a six-grade Zhongyun, what kind of storm can he raise?" Didn't anyone stab the matter to the court before, what is happening now? Isn't this official here? There are people in this official court, who can help me? ”

In Zhang Lian's mind, even if the imperial court pursues the anti-grain case, at most it will make his political achievements have a small stain, and what he has to do is to erase this small stain as much as possible.

As long as he doesn't make a big mess, he is confident enough to be safe.

But things are getting more and more serious, at present there are two groups of victims in Quanzhou to form a climate, from the initial riot to evolve into a civil uprising, these people robbed the gentry and merchants, have some weapons and equipment, morale is greatly boosted, and they are about to attack the county seat. Zhang Lian didn't dare to publicize the matter, as long as the guard sent troops to suppress the civil rebellion, the matter would not be able to be suppressed.

Just when he felt anxious, the people under his hands intercepted the letter written by Yu Niang to Shen Xi, who was in Tingzhou Mansion.

Only then did Zhang Lian learn that among the entourage who came to Quanzhou Mansion with Shen Xi, someone stayed in Quanzhou Mansion City, as if they were tracking down something.

"Your Excellency, you say...... Wouldn't this Qin Cha also be investigating the grain resistance case in the first year? Master Ma Yan put forward the hypothesis that annoyed Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian said coldly: "After this case was played to the imperial court, the imperial court issued a decree to commend it, it has only been a few months, how can someone be sent to investigate?" Even if you come to check, you won't send a six-rank Hanlin official who has only been an official for a year. However, Liu Shangshu of the household department is notoriously difficult, and now he doesn't even accept the filial piety we sent, and sincerely wants to go with me and other local officials. ”

"Your Excellency, do you mean that there are people from the household around the Qincha?"

"We have to guard against it. But don't worry, this letter has no content, hum...... Send the letter to the Chin Cha as it is, and I'll see how he copes!" ”

Zhang Lian felt that God was able to intercept the letter because God helped him, so that he could test whether Shen Xi had other responsibilities.

The letters were sent one after another, and Shen Xi received one each when he was in Tingzhou Mansion and Taohua Village.

Shen Xi wrote a reply, and as soon as the letter reached the boundary of Quanzhou, it was intercepted and sent to Zhang Lian quickly.

“…… Three slices of ginger, send water to swallow, there is a Western tribute pill, smell can have the effect of resurrecting the dead, hope to ask from the pharmacy, do not use it with cumin, there is a big harm! ”

The content of the letter was very plain, except that Shen Xi inquired about the situation of this sick person, and these few words seemed to have some deep meaning in them.

But Zhang Lian pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand what these words were talking about.

are all terminally ill, and the prescription is ginger tablets?

Besides, this elixir paid tribute from the West may be able to save people's lives, but since it is a tribute, why should you go to the Forbidden City to ask the emperor for medicine, how can you go to the pharmacy to ask for it?

In addition, this elixir actually clashes with fennel, what is this?

"My lord, I think Qin Cha must have noticed something, what he hinted at in this letter, this letter must not be sent, otherwise it will ......"

Zhang Lian said angrily: "Otherwise? ”

Master Horseface didn't dare to answer casually.

In fact, it is self-explanatory, since you can't understand Shen Xi's words, it means that there is a deep meaning in it, and it may be a very powerful idea, so that Zhang Lian can't eat and walk around.

Although Zhang Lian didn't want to admit it, he was indeed a little worried in his heart, and he was stunned to detain Shen Xi's letter and study it for two days, but he still didn't find any clues from it.

Zhang Lian's efforts were in vain.

Shen Xi's main purpose in writing this letter was to perfunctory to Yu Niang...... He had already figured out what would happen if this letter fell into Zhang Lian's hands, I didn't even know what I wrote blindly, let alone worry about others understanding.

"It's better to send the letter out, now that people are under our surveillance, I don't believe that I can play any tricks!"

Zhang Lian was somewhat conceited, he believed that even if the people sent by the imperial court made a move, they would not threaten him, because the whereabouts of the people secretly investigated by the household department were now completely under his control, as long as there was any rash move, the result would be a death, and he would not allow anyone to poke things out.

"Shen Xi, Shen Xi, I originally wanted to share the credit with you and show mercy to your subordinates, but now it seems that I have to use some means against you. None of the people who oppose me will end well! ”

Shen Xi had contact with the people who came to investigate him, which annoyed Zhang Lian, and immediately asked people to send a letter to the capital, catching up with the previous private letter, and directly changing it to Emperor Hongzhi.

At the same time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhang Lian sent people to assassinate the subordinates suspected of being from the household department, so as to ensure that the news of the chaos in Quanzhou would not be leaked.

On March 26, Zhang Lian received news that Shen Xi had returned to Tingzhou from Ninghua, and set off the next day from Ganjiang in Jiangxi to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Beijing via the Grand Canal.

Zhang Lian thought that Shen Xi thought he had achieved a great achievement and returned to the capital happily, but he had to face the disaster of prison, and he felt relieved in his heart.

Let you pretend to be tall in front of me, but you are just a fledgling stinky boy, and you put on such a big score, do you really think you are a great character? Phew!

On the ninth day of the fourth month, a government official sent a letter to Zhang Lian, and at the same time brought a message: "Lord Prefect, the commander of Quanzhou Wei has invited you to go to his administrative office in the west of the city, saying that he wants to ask you why the Wei Office did not learn of the notice of the government yamen when the Francophone attacked the port of Thornton before. ”

"Everything has to be notified by the prefect's yamen? This Quanzhou Mansion, is it governed by the prefect's yamen, or is he Quanzhou Wei? Zhang Lian's tone was arrogant.

The incident of the Franco's bombardment of the port has passed, and most of the Franco's prisoners have become prisoners, except for a few bandit leaders who were escorted away by Shen Xi, the rest of the people were all imprisoned in the official post.

The people of Quanzhou Wei are trying to compete with themselves for credit!

"My lord, I think it's better for you not to go, this Quanzhou Wei Wang commander has always been at odds with you, and this time I go, most of them are not pleased." Master Ma Yan suggested to Zhang Lian, "It's better to come and leave it alone." ”

Zhang Lian thought for a while and sighed: "At present, the civil unrest is imminent, in order to prevent the elbows and armpits, it is better not to offend the people in the military station, prepare generous gifts, just go with me." Remember not to be offensive in words, but to do your best so that things can be calmed down. ”

Now Zhang Lian is not afraid that Quanzhou Wei will compete with him, but that the military will poke out the news of the chaos in the place and listen to the sky.

So he can only be temporarily soft, people want to ask him for questioning, he personally took the gift, the so-called reach out does not hit the smiling face, these soldiers do not have too high social status, and they are hereditary official positions, thinking not about how to be promoted, but how to make a fortune, military merit or something is secondary, the most important thing is to use interests to block their mouths.

Master Ma Yan was a little nervous: "But my lord, Luojiang Town is not our land in the end......"

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Lian sneered: "Since Luojiang is in Quanzhou Mansion, how can it not be our land?" Could it be that he, Wang He, can still detain me, a member of the four grades, and punish me? ”

The horse-faced master was stunned...... Quanzhou Wei really doesn't have this power, he doesn't want Zhang Lian to go, mainly because he is afraid that Zhang Lian will go to the head of the guard, which is equivalent to starting from below.

Different from the silver given to Shen Xi, the gifts that Zhang Lian prepared for the Quanzhou Wei Commander were all copper coins and several large boxes full of them.

These big-headed soldiers don't like silver and like copper coins, which is quite vulgar in Zhang Lian's opinion, and they don't care about the silver in vain, but they are rare and heavy and impractical, and they are copper plates that have been touched countless times by the peddlers' pawns.

In order to show humility, Zhang Lian took out of the city to Luojiang Town, the Weizhi Institute of Quanzhou, and there were not many people, after all, there were requests for people.

When Zhang Lian arrived in Luojiang Town and came to the Quanzhou Health Office, he suddenly felt a crisis, and stopped to ponder, but he didn't know where this crisis came from? He shook his head and led people into the gate of the official office, but before he entered the lobby, he heard a "bang" behind him, and the door was closed.

"What for?" Zhang Lian glared angrily at the officers and soldiers who were facing the enemy.

"Your Excellency, forgive me, this is what Commander Wang specially explained." The guards stepped forward and laughed.

Zhang Lian sneered, he really thought that he was a general who had been in and out of the battlefield and had experienced a hundred battles, but he was just a world official in Tuntian.
