Chapter 138: The Shadow of the Abandoned House (Part 1)
Songyuan, a big mansion like a garden in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, was visited by the congratulatory guests who got the news for the first time, and it was very lively. Even the ordinary people in Songmingshan Village walk in the fields with their heads held high, looking proud. There is a jinshi in his own village, which is already very remarkable, and this jinshi has been prosperous all the way, and now he has recovered again after a few years of leisure, and he is directly Yunyang, the governor of the imperial history of the right capital. What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that Mr. Nanming will enter the cabinet to pay respects soon?
Even the famous talents in Songming Mountain Village are also active, hoping to experience life with Wang Daokun. After all, the governor is bigger than the prefect of Huizhou!
Except, of course, Wang Fulin. Maybe he can't keep up with those talents in the craft, but he can learn geography better than those nerds, and in the previous days, it was the Huizhou Mansion Chronicle, and it was the Ming Huidian, and he was familiar with the living environment WWW.UUXS.CC.
is also a governor, this Yunyang governor is a little worse than Wang Daokun's Fujian governor. Although the grade is the same, but when Wang Daokun was in Fujian, it was a genuine admiral military affairs, and he was in charge of an anti-Japanese army. And what is the concept of the governor of Yunyang?
There are four kinds of governors in the Ming Dynasty, one is like the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who is the highest authority at the provincial level; One is set up on the border, the main grasp of military power, and even the general soldiers have to look at their faces, such as in Liaodong, Ningxia, Gansu and other places; One is that the jurisdiction is particularly small, such as the governor of Miyun, the governor of Tianjin, and so on; As for the last one, it is a real hodgepodge. Singled out those places where the political departments meet, and where it is most difficult to govern, there are often chaotic problems such as displaced people. Among them, the governor of Yunyang is the last one, and the most tricky of the last ones.
The Yunyang governor's jurisdiction spans Huguang, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, and has jurisdiction over eight prefectures and nine prefectures, with a total of 65 counties. The problem of displaced people is particularly strict, and because it is located at the border, there are many problems of ripping, which is particularly difficult among the governors. This is still Emperor Jiajing's death now, otherwise the jurisdiction also includes the Anlu Mansion where the original Qianlong was located, and if anything goes wrong, the governor will be enough to die.
Therefore, on the order of Duan Fuzun, he came back to give Wang Daokun a gift, and Wang Fulin found that those wealthy businessmen and gentry from Xixi South Village on the other side of the Fengle River came one after another, so he didn't stay at Wang's house for long, and took the time to go back to his home. The left-behind Wang Qi and his wife were overjoyed when they saw him come back, no matter what he said, they insisted on filling a whole bag of fresh melons and fruits, vegetables, and meat newly sent by the tenants, and asked him to take them to the city for Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei to taste together. Although it is said that bringing these things back on a hot day will have to bother others to carry them on their shoulders, but the old servant has a heart, and Wang Fulin can't help but appreciate it.
At this moment, he was holding a bowl of rice noodles under Wang Qi's daughter-in-law, which was not too hot, so he sent chopsticks to his mouth. He used to be a spicy and unhappy person, but after arriving here, he lived a life insulated with chili peppers, and now he drinks delicious and delicious, but only lacks some spicy soup, he can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. At this moment, he heard Wang Qi's voice in his ears.
"Little official, since Zhong Daniu's guy left, Second Master Wang helped to collect another room of tenants, and he sent a lot more things every month than before, and after hearing about the fate of Zhong Daniu's back owner, the tenants in the two rooms in the past are also much more honest, and they don't dare to make trouble at every turn to reduce the rent. Before, because the little official and the two girls went to the city, I have been temporarily collecting the rent that the second master asked him to collect. When Wang Qi said this, he took a cloth bag from the hand of his daughter-in-law on the side and solemnly held it in front of Wang Fulin.
"In addition to five stones of new wheat as rations, here are ten taels and three cents and five cents of silver."
Wang Fulin took the bag of silver in a daze, and when he opened it, it was full of pieces of broken silver, with completely different shapes and sizes. Thinking about more than 130 acres of land, half a year's land rent is so little, he suddenly understood why his family was so tight before. It is said that the land in Huizhou is barren, this is the evidence! He thought about it, took out two small pieces from it and stuffed them into Wang Qi's hands, and when he saw that the old servant's face suddenly turned red, he hurriedly pushed it away, so he said with a smile: "We are all in the city, and you husband and wife are staying at home, and you don't know how much to do up and down, so is it possible to let you drink the northwest wind?" ”
But the little master was kind, Wang Qi could only accept it, but said in his mouth: "When the second master came last time, he also said that the letter from the little official to the old man and the old man has been taken away, but after all, it is far away, and there may not be a reply to the letter in a few months, so I can keep it at home, the little official and the two girls Brother Bao live in the city, which is convenient for reading and making friends, and it is better than in the village......
Wang Qixu babbled, and Wang Fulin listened absentmindedly. It's not that he doesn't respect this old servant, but because Wang Qi talked about making friends, he suddenly thought of his bad friend Cheng Naixuan. It's been a few days since Mo Xiang reported to him last time, and I don't know what happened to this guy who ran away from home in order to escape marriage. This son of the family has always enjoyed happiness, where do you know that the world is sinister, don't pay attention to the overturning boat in the gutter, but be calculated!
Wang Qi's daughter-in-law is honest, seeing that Wang Qi is only concerned about nagging, she can't help but gently pull her husband's sleeve, and when she sees that people don't react, she can't help but increase her strength. When Wang Qi stopped talking and glared at her dissatisfied, she whispered, "You forgot the son who came not long ago?" ”
"Ah, look at my memory!" Wang Qi hurriedly patted his head, and then hurriedly said to Wang Fulin, who didn't know why, "Thanks to my mother-in-law's reminder, someone came over a few days ago, saying that he heard about the little official and Jinbao, and specially came to Songming Mountain to visit, and asked me where Jinbao's house was." Because of the old liar's business, I was still a little worried, so I accompanied him personally, and then the person left. ”
Although Wang Fulin had already seen the power of the gossip show, he really felt a little confused to say that someone was so interested in his and Jinbao's affairs that he went directly to Songming Mountain to visit Jinbao's former residence. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "How old is that son, and what does he look like?" What do you have a surname? ”
"It's about fifteen or sixteen, a little bigger than a petty official. He was born with red lips and white teeth, and was handsome, but he had a good appearance. As for what the surname is, I asked, but he didn't say, only that he had been friends with the petty officials for a long time, and then the people left, although it was a little strange, I didn't pay attention to it. ”
There's something weird about that! Wait, since Wang Qiu was sentenced, the daughter-in-law ran back to her parents' house with her infant son, and Jinbao became his son again, and the family house was empty, is it ......
Wang Fulin originally planned to hurry back to the city after a little delay at home, but when he got such a news from Wang Qi, he had an extra heart, and immediately asked Wang Qi to take him to Jinbao's house - because he was extremely unkind to Wang Qiu before, he didn't accept the invitation to eat any full moon wine, and he didn't know that place at all. When Wang Qi took him to the front of a house in the east of the village, he had to take a closer look.
It is a house that has been around for some years, there is no courtyard wall in front of it, only a fence, and the yard may have raised some chickens and ducks in the past, but now it is empty, and weeds and leaves are everywhere. The door of the fence was unlocked, and Wang Qi opened it as soon as he pushed it, and he was about to enter, only to find that on the road leading to the house, the fallen leaves and weeds could vaguely see the traces of being trampled on. Now he had a better idea in his heart, and walked to the front of the house, he glanced at the gray pasted window paper, and suddenly reached out and pushed the door hard.
Despite his great efforts, the door did not move, and it was evident that the door of this house, which was supposed to have no owner, had been latched from the inside!
At this time, even Wang Qi felt that something was wrong. With his bare hands, he looked around and found that there was a nail rake in the corner over there, and immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and copied it in his hand, and then rushed back, and pulled Wang Fulin away from the door alive, hiding him behind him like an old chicken protecting a chicken. Immediately after, the old servant shouted: "Listen up, get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for calling someone!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a weak voice came from inside: "Don't call people! Can't I come out? ”
With the sound of the latch pulling, the two doors were slowly opened, and a man was moved out of the dark room. I saw that he was wearing a straight jacket that could not be seen clearly, his hair was still stained with cobwebs and dust, his face was sallow, his eyes were blank, and at first glance, he was a little boy who was no better than a beggar. But Wang Fulin couldn't be more familiar with people, and he recognized this Cheng Dagongzi at a glance, and he was immediately angry and funny.
And Wang Qi in front of him widened his eyes even more, and shouted violently: "Aren't you the one who asked Jinbao's family a few days ago?" Come on, what are your intentions in infiltrating our Songming Mountain? ”
Seeing that Wang Qi, who was loyal to the lord, almost rushed forward without waving a nail rake, Wang Fulin hurriedly grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and then said to poor Cheng Naixuan: "Good young master of the Cheng family, you are not right, you actually hide in such a place to live a sneaky life, isn't it a joke?" Don't hide, follow me. ”
"Shuangmu, you won't be so ruthless, will you? If he really wants to send me home, my dad will have to discount my leg! ”
Cheng Naixuan panicked and hurriedly wanted to stop Wang Fulin, but he only took two steps and fell to the ground one by one. If Wang Fulin hadn't seen the opportunity and quickly reached out to help, he would have had a close contact with the earth immediately. And after Wang Fulin dragged the person up, he looked at the clothes and smelled the really scary smell, and he almost had an urge to cover his nose.
"How many days have you been hiding here? Such a big smell! ”
"It's just ten days and half a month......," Cheng Naixuan still wanted to be vague, but seeing Wang Fulin's eyes, he finally said with a sad face, "After sending that little guy to your family, as soon as I went back, my father asked me to get married immediately, and I ran away quickly." Didn't I think it would be dark under the lights? My father may look for other places, including you, my father will definitely send someone to keep an eye on it, but this is an abandoned house in Songming Mountain, he will definitely not notice. When I get out of the limelight for a while, I will take out my savings and go to Huguang to do some business, I have all plans to do it! ”
