Chapter 063: The Matter of the Yamen
But it was said that Xiao He and Cao Shen returned to the yamen, but they didn't know how to tell Jiang Kun about it, Xiao He thought, "If you take the initiative to let Liu Ji escort him to hard labor, Jiang Kun will definitely not allow it, what method should be used to say it?" ”
He thought about it, and finally went to Jiang Kun's study with Cao Shen, Xiao He arched his hand and said, "My lord, these four hundred and fifty hard laborers have been recruited, when will we send someone to escort them to Lishan?" ”
Jiang Kun let out a long sigh and said, "I'm also worried about this matter, this hard labor is all recruited, who can I send to escort it?" ”
Xiao He said, "The hard labor who was escorted to repair the Great Wall has not come back until now, I think it's better to wait for them to come back!" ”
Jiang Kun shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't know, this million people have been escorted to hard labor, and they haven't come back yet, so I think most of them have escaped!" ”
Cao Shen sighed and said, "Alas, this million is true, I have to come back to report it, why haven't you replied for so long?" Did he go to the end or not? What's going on? Why is there no news at all? ”
Jiang Kun said, "You two don't know, this escort of hard labor, but it is not trivial, none of these hard labor is willing to go, this hard labor deserted on the road, and it has not happened, you also know, if you escape from hard labor, this is a capital crime, if the escort does not arrive at the specified time, it is also a capital crime, there are several waves of people in front of the yamen, all because of this, none of them came back, I think, most of them were questioned!" ”
Xiao He and Cao Shen are not fools, they are in the same yamen, they have never eaten pork, haven't they seen pigs running? They just tried to find a way to help Liu San!
Xiao He sighed and said, "Yes, how is this good?" Who will be sent? ”
There was silence in the study, no one had a better candidate, Jiang Kun looked at Xiao He, then at Cao Shen, and said, "The two of you are my right-hand men in Pei County, and you have helped me take care of a lot of affairs in the yamen, so why don't you two help me escort it, now in this yamen, I only trust the two of you!" ”
Xiao He and Cao Shen hurriedly stood up, both knelt on the ground, Xiao He cried and said, "My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, although I have no virtue and no talent, and I have not been able to help my lord do a good job in the county government, but there is no merit and hard work, my lord, how can you send the two of us to escort the hard labor?" ”
Jiang Kun hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao He and Cao Shen up, and said, "Two adults, please get up quickly, I didn't mean that, please get up quickly!" ”
Xiao He and Cao Shen stood up, and Jiang Kun continued, "It's not a secret, I can't bear to let the two of you go, but this matter of escorting hard labor is not trivial, and we have to send competent people to do the escort, you see, how many times have we sent hard labor from Pei County really completed the task?" Every time the county is saying that we are not doing things well, we are either overdue or there are few people, and now it is okay, it is not easy to recruit these 450 people, but how can we send them to Lishan safely? ”
The three of them fell into contemplation again, and finally Xiao He sighed and said, "From the point of view, in this matter, we have to send Liu Ji, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion!" ”
Jiang Kun was taken aback and said, "What? Let him go to the escort? How can this be? He Liu Ji is a master who does not suffer losses, where would he do this drudgery? Not to mention this errand, not to mention sleeping in the open air, or to prevent the escape of hard labor, and at the same time to rush to Lishan as scheduled, can he Liu Ji succeed? ”
Xiao He said, "This Liu Ji is a person who understands the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, a few days ago, he committed a capital crime because of Xianyang, it was the adults you helped him, he was not only questioned, but also became the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, you are good to him, he is very grateful, if this is used as a reason, let him go to escort this batch of hard labor, I believe he will definitely complete the task!" ”
What a Xiao He, with this way of recommendation, the topic has been brought on the right track! Alas, this person, he just can't listen to good words, what kind of person is this Liu Ji, is it rare for Jiang Kun not to know? For Lu Pheasant's marriage, they had a lot of conflicts, not only made their son lose face, but also ordered his family to be arrested, how long has it been? How could he have forgotten? But after listening to Xiao He's words, Jiang Kun knew very well in his heart, and he secretly made up his mind! This time, I don't take care of you, not to mention sleeping in the open, if the hard labor runs away, if you don't arrive on time, you will be punished!
Jiang Kun thought about it in his heart, a faint sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "But the matter of escorting is not Liu Ji's job, will he agree?" ”
Xiao He said, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as you summon him to the county yamen, give him reason, and move him with affection, he will definitely be grateful to Dade!" ”
Jiang Kun nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way, okay, I will ask him to summon him to the county government to see what his attitude is!" ”
As he spoke, he shouted and asked people to take Liu San to the county yamen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Liu San entered the study, Jiang Kun hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile, "How is Pavilion Chief Liu doing lately?" ”
Liu San said coldly, "Thanks to the blessing of the adults, I have eaten enough and slept well, which is okay!" ”
Xiao He said on the side, "Pavilion Chief Liu, you are the pavilion chief, you must have not forgotten how you came here, if it weren't for Lord Jiang, you would have the position of Pavilion Chief of Surabaya?" ”
Liu San knew very well in his heart that Xiao He was letting him get as much as possible to get the errand of escorting hard labor, he nodded knowingly, and said, "What Lord Xiao said is very true, I think that at the beginning, I committed a big crime in Xianyang, if it wasn't for Lord Jiang to protect me, maybe I would have become a ghost under the knife, where is today?" ”
Jiang Kun nodded and said, "Pavilion Chief Liu doesn't have to take it to heart, when you look at Pavilion Chief Liu, that is the person of great fortune and nobility, and there is no need to say anything else, but now this county wants to send a group of hard laborers to Lishan to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum, and has not found a suitable person to escort him, Pavilion Chief Liu is experienced, courageous and knowledgeable, I believe he will definitely help me complete this errand!" ”
Liu San hurriedly stood up, waved his hands desperately, and said, "No, no, my lord, I can't do such a big thing, you might as well send someone else!" ”
Jiang Kun said, "Chief Liu Ting, as long as you can send this batch of hard labor to Lishan as scheduled, after you come back, I will transfer you back to the county, you also know that this Surabaya is not a good place!" ”
Liu San secretly scolded in his heart: TMD came to this trick again, this is clearly a wish made by the official, let Lao Tzu go on this errand, this is a matter of nine deaths, in case you don't arrive on time, in case someone escapes, this is a capital crime, you just let me be your father, I may not have this life! But what can be done? In case you find out that Lao Tzu once said that he was the true son of heaven, it is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, I will escort it, and I will die if I die, and it has nothing to do with my family!
Liu San heard this and said, "No, no, my lord, I understand your kindness, you should send someone else!" ”
Cao Shen stepped forward and said, "Pavilion Chief Liu, this is yours, isn't this Lord Jiang looking down on you, isn't it just escorting a hard labor, what's the big deal?" You have to know how many pavilion chiefs want to come to the county office, but there is no way! ”
Xiao He also stepped forward to persuade him, "That's right, Pavilion Chief Liu, this is Lord Jiang's cultivation of your village, don't let down Lord Jiang's heart!" ”
Cao Shen and Xiao He took turns bombing, so that Liu San had no reason to refuse, so he could only say, "Okay, good, my God, it's really a big official who crushes people to death, if you don't listen to you, I'm afraid I will be dragged out by you to find the deformed, okay, but I have a request, this Pei County will go to Lishan, but it's far away, I don't want to go alone, can you call my good friends Fan Xu and Lu Juan to go together!" ”
Of course Jiang Kun is happy, these people are in Pei County, they will only make trouble for him, if Liu San really has three strengths and two weaknesses, these people will not let him go easily, and now Liu San proposed to go with them, what he was thinking in his heart, Jiang Kun nodded again and again, and said, "Of course, there is no problem, it is nothing more than bringing more food and grass, what is this." ”
Liu San nodded and said, "Or my lord, you are good to me, you have said this, I still have a reluctant request, you also know, I am the cup of wine that I love, this to Lishan, the world is far away, and there are so many people, see if you can give me more money to run, so that the road will not be lonely!" ”
Jiang Kun listened, laughed, and said, "Usually sent to Xianyang, a trip is 100 yuan, how much do you want?" ”
Liu San heard this, and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that our Lord Jiang turned out to be an old sandwich shell, iron rooster, 100 yuan, and eat it in one meal, how is this enough, I can't do things for the court, and take my own money!" ”
Jiang Kun said, "How much do you want?" ”
Liu San said, "In addition to the living expenses of each hard laborer, I have to be given at least 50 yuan a day, which is not too much, a round trip for at least 1 month, that is 1500 yuan, you see, I don't have a sky-high price!" ”
Xiao He secretly exclaimed in his heart, "Okay, you Liu San, it's really bold to bargain in front of Jiang Kun!" ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Kun agreed in one mouthful, "Okay, it's yours, but you have to remember that I will give you these four hundred and fifty people, and you will send them to Lishan as scheduled, you know, this is not a joke, if it doesn't arrive within the time limit, everyone, including you, will fall to the ground!" ”
This is undoubtedly a military order, Liu San sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" I can only do my best, no, go all out, as for the result, only God knows, if it really doesn't arrive as scheduled, please take a good look at my family, after all, I also died for the contribution of Pei County! ”
Although Liu San said it with a big grin, the pain contained in his words was still revealed, people are dying, their words are good, birds are dying, and their songs are also mourning, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? After all, this is a test of life and death, if it weren't for the catastrophe of the "true son of heaven", Liu San would have been killed and would not have been willing to take this errand!
Jiang Kun nodded and said, "Pavilion Chief Liu, don't worry, I'm here here, everything will be fine, then please, how about I'll wait for you tomorrow?" ”
Liu San smiled faintly and said, "Tomorrow can't be done, and it's not too late for these two days, I haven't discussed it with my brothers, and the day after tomorrow, your delicious wine and food will be saved, counted as money, and given to me together?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, Xiao He admired this Liu San very much, obviously he was for the catastrophe of the "true son of heaven", but he still quietly asked Jiang Kun for the price, it was really high, high! also made this Jiang Kun grateful, after all, he solved a big problem!
