Chapter 162: Helpless nepotism

The shout of "Miss has been found" almost alarmed all the people in Liu's Mansion, and some of the servants who had only entered Liu's Mansion in Shandong asked each other there:

"Isn't the master just a man in office, and what other young lady is there!?"

Immediately, someone from the past hurried over and told him, don't talk nonsense, this kind of thing will offend the master, shut up as soon as possible. But when I turned around, I was talking to my former acquaintances, wasn't Miss snatched away by bandits? Now I have found it again, tsk, I'm afraid that I have been the wife of the village for a few months, and even the owner of the small village has it.

The person who shouted excitedly was Steward Liu, since he came to Jinan Mansion, for the sake of his official reputation, Liu Shunhua obviously would not tell others about his daughter being snatched away halfway. But how could his own flesh and blood not care. I knew in my heart that as long as I got the news of Jiang Feng, I could find Liu Fangrui.

Jiang Feng is military attache is very likely to appear in the official documents that come and go, and you may find that the transportation and news in the Ming Dynasty were not as developed as in modern times, and some people were adjacent to a mansion, but they could not meet for life. Although Jiang Feng is also an official in Shandong, Bachelor Liu did not associate it in this direction at all.

In his heart, he didn't expect that Jiang Fengfeng and he would be officials in the same province, and there would be such a coincidence in the world, so after Liu Shunhua settled down in the position of the political envoy to participate in politics, although the official documents of the province were also noted, it was mainly through some old friends and friends in Beizhili and Shanxi and Henan to inquire about Jiang Feng's person. Because these places are relatively close to Shandong.

He knew that Jiang Feng had also gone out of Beijing to guard the place, and it was estimated that he was also in several provinces around Shandong, so that he could rob people.

There is a well-known rule in Liu's Mansion, that is, except for Steward Liu, no one else is allowed to enter the study when Lord Liu is at home, otherwise he will inevitably be severely punished, which is also a habit that Liu Shunhua developed when he was in Beijing. Reading and writing need to be very quiet.

Steward Liu's age is not young, because he was excited, he trotted all the way to the door of the study, and he was already out of breath, and he took a few breaths there to calm down, and then gently slammed the door. There was a rather flat voice from Liu Zheng's politics:

"Lao Liu, come in."

Steward Liu opened the door happily and went in, first called a thousand, and then was just about to open his mouth happily, when he saw Liu Shenzheng say with a little reproach:

"Lao Liu, you are shouting about this kind of thing in the house, if you let someone hear it, wouldn't it be troublesome, your age is not young, and you should act steadily."

As soon as he heard this, Steward Liu also felt that he was a little too excited about what he had just done, and his old face was red and he wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly saw that the ink on the snow-white rice paper on the desk was scattered, and the brush was placed horizontally on it. It seems to be a child's graffiti, Liu Shunhua's handwriting is good, and he has never encountered such a situation.

As soon as he saw the table with Steward Liu's gaze, Liu Shenzheng also turned red, coughed a few times, and casually diverted the topic:

"Just now my hand shook and the pen slipped to the side, and I left him alone."

……

Because of the existence of the secretary's office, there is no secret at all for Liu Shenzheng. Originally, as a new official, Jiang Feng had nothing to do with such a thing as destroying the Dong family. So when the case came over, he didn't care much, and even looked at the governor and Zuo Zuo's anxious appearance, and there was still a little snickering in his heart, but now this matter is different.

In the small hall on the edge of the study, there were three people, Liu Shunhua, behind him stood Butler Liu, and under him sat an old man with a clear face, this old man was the master hired by Liu Shenzheng. On weekdays, it is called Mr. Meng, it is said that it is still the far branch of the Meng Mansion in Zou County, of course, the sage is also going to eat, this is not unusual, although Mr. Meng's fame is only a show, but for officialdom and human accidents, it is really much stronger than a person like Mr. Liu, who is born in a book and is not familiar with it.

Inviting this old gentleman to come is definitely not specifically for Liu Fangrui's business. Originally, Liu Shunhua was ready to stand by and watch the excitement of this big case that would definitely cause an earthquake in Shandong officialdom. However, Dong Long actually overturned the case quite unreasonably, and this matter still involved Jiang Feng, and it was definitely impossible to get out of the matter.

Mr. Meng over there gently shook the folding fan in his hand, although the weather was still quite cold, he made an elegant and wise appearance there, and listened to Steward Liu finish talking about things, and said slowly:

"An ordinary small banner drives the officers and soldiers of the guard to be slaves, robs good merchants from all over the world, and has more than 1,000 lives in their hands, no matter how such a case is judged, I am afraid that the officials involved in Shandong will be implicated, and even the governor must at least have the crime of 'ineffective governance'."

Liu Shenzheng nodded there, he naturally knew what his master said, and even thought about whether it was possible for him to go further or install his own people if the officials in the province were removed because of this, and what benefits would he reap, at this time, Mr. Meng's words changed:

"Dong Long has also been an official for many years, and he has taken the right path of the imperial examination, so naturally he will not know these obstacles, those evidence are already ironclad cases, it is difficult to say if he wants to protect himself, how can he dare to sue again?"

Liu Shunhua is also a character who can understand it at all, and he said slowly at that time:

"Do you mean that he estimates that Shandong will not dare to make too much trouble about this matter, or that he has something to rely on......

Having said this, everyone understood the next thing, and discussed a few more details, and Steward Liu on the side was a little puzzled when he heard it, didn't he want to talk about Miss and Jiang Feng. Why didn't you mention it, and after talking about the relevant ones, Liu Shunhua and Liu Shenzheng seemed to have unintentionally mentioned:

"In this case, the merit of the town guarding the hundred households Jiang Feng may not be there, but he may be guilty?"

Steward Liu was already quite disgusted with Jiang Feng, and when he was in Jingshi that day, he felt that this person was extremely rude, and he acted like a robber everywhere, and he actually robbed his own young lady a few months ago. Steward Liu didn't realize that he was just angry, but he had no other emotions, you must know how big it was in the Ming Dynasty, where morality was extremely important, to rob the official lady like this.

In the atmosphere for a while, Lao Liu Tou blurted out there angrily:

"Just to cure that kid's sins, it's too lawless......"

Mr. Meng, the essence of the person, shook his fan and smiled silently, but Liu Shunhua and Liu Shenzheng's face was a little gloomy all of a sudden, and he slapped the table with his right hand and said in a cold voice:

"There's no place for you to talk here, presumptuous!"

Steward Liu, who was reprimanded, reacted suddenly, although Jiang Feng has no name now, he is actually his own son-in-law, otherwise the master would have gone to report to the official to arrest him, and he would be so quietly looking for it, thinking about it, the young lady is so spicy and rude, and she is really a rough talent like Jiang Feng to deal with it!

At this time, the rough man Jiang Feng they said was in the dock fort of the Thousand Households in Yantai Mountain, and the people from the Xia family pushed the cup and changed the lamp, this time in addition to Xia Cuiyu, there were also some Xia family principals, and more than a dozen big men who got off the boat with Xia Cuiyu on the dinghy that day were not only the guards of the Xia family's young lady, but also Xia Qingjiao, the third leader of the Xia family.

Xia Qingjiao is Xia Cuiyu's third uncle, it is said that he used to be a thousand households in the navy, and later the Xia family was implicated because of the battle in the imperial court, and his official position in the navy could not be kept, so he had to return home and go to sea with a boat. Naturally, there are veterans there to arrange the matters of going to the sea at home.

What he is good at is the way to train soldiers and weapons, that is to say, the entire Xia family's force is basically under the control of these three masters. After Xia Qingjiao saw Jiang Feng's Tie Ding on the sea, he was immediately amazed by his military background, thinking about what kind of people could train these strong soldiers.

And Tieding's equipment also amazed him. He was different from ordinary grassroots-born officers. The Xia family is also considered a high-ranking family in Fujian, and Xia Qingjiao, who was born in the Yanzhi, is naturally well-informed, knowing that even the so-called strong army in the world will not have equipment like Tieding.

The style of firearms, which was obviously unique to Franco, appeared in the hands of those who called themselves Tie Ding, and it was obviously improved, all of which shocked Xia Qingjiao, and for a year and a half, Tie Ding had been rotating at sea. This also made the Xia family make a judgment, the Jiang family's iron ding, or the iron ding on the sea, should be more than a hundred people.

This number was confirmed after being confirmed by the news brought back by Xia Cuiyu. There are more than 100 people in total, you must know that it is no problem for the Xia family to gather thousands of people at any time in northern Fujian, and the Xia family naturally has the intention of annexation, and this time Xia Qingjiao came with such a purpose.

Originally, I listened to my niece's evaluation of Jiang Feng on the boat, but one thing after another in the Beijing division seemed that Jiang Feng was more like an excellent businessman than a military officer, and when it came to being a person, Xia Cuiyu, who has always been known for her ability, had a very interesting evaluation, two words - "lustful, obscene".

These things made Xia Qingjiao more confident in the annexation of Tieding, Jiading is not a national soldier, and even if it is annexed, there is no sanction from the king's decree. However, I still have some doubts about Xia Cuiyu's judgment in my heart, after all, young girls are sometimes emotional.

After going ashore, seeing Jiang Feng's drooling appearance towards his niece, Xia Qingjiao's judgment of Xia Cuiyu finally had an intuitive judgment: it was really obscene and lustful.

After the two medium-sized ships docked in the harbor, the rest of the fleet began to move towards their destination, and the iron dings who rotated here also boarded the ship. After these things are completed, it is natural to repair them, and Jiang Feng, as a landlord, naturally wants to do his best to be a landlord.

There is a building similar to a hall in Wubao, and the two sides set up a banquet there, and after taking a seat, Jiang Feng just asked straight to the point:

"I wonder if you can afford to buy a cannon!?"
