Chapter 355: The Fierce Thunder Plague God
Wang, Wu, Xu, Cheng, Bao, Huang, etc., are all Xin'an surnames, Huizhou clans. The most prominent branches of the Bao family, the ancestors began to study for the imperial examination, or to make money in business, such as the children of wealthy businessmen like Bao Er, who inherited the shadow of their ancestors when they landed, and they didn't know what indica rice tasted like and what coarse cloth felt like. Therefore, when he followed Wang Fulin into the humble house, he was almost smoky by the smell that came to his face.
And this is already the fourth bitter master he has visited. When he went to the first house, his whole face was stiff, but at this moment, he was able to squeeze out a few sincere tears.
This is the home of Aunt Huang and Ah Ying's mother and daughter. The brother's body has been returned to the funeral, the coffin and clothes are all good, in addition to the original fifty taels of buried silver, the second master Bao promised to find a good family for Ah Ying in the future, and choose a good child for Aunt Huang to pass on. As for whether to choose a son of the same clan or adopt a child with a different surname who is less than three years old, it all depends on their mother and daughter's wishes. In addition, the Xin'an Hall will do its best to help the county government fight a lawsuit to chase the suspect, which also calmed down the originally angry mother and daughter a little.
Seeing Wang Fulin and Bao Er Er worshipping together, Aunt Huang thought of her experience of being "invited" to the inn on Xin'an Street, and couldn't help but peek at Wang Fulin several times, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was handsome and handsome. Thinking that he was Wang Daokun's nephew, she became more and more excited. After she said goodbye as the bereaved owner who lost her son, she hurriedly asked Ah Ying to bring tea and water, and she followed by her to serve diligently, but seeing that this person was about to leave with only a little lip touch, she wanted to keep people but couldn't find a good excuse, and suddenly said in her heart: "That's right, little official." Since the coffin of Da Lang was sent back. Many people come to worship. There are also people who have said strange things. ”
The reason why Bao Er Ye was persuaded by Wang Fulin was not only because Wang Fulin was the nephew of Wang Daokun, the governor of Huguang, but also because he was well-informed and had heard rumors about Wang Fulin in his hometown of Huizhou Mansion, not to mention that Wang Fulin directly slipped the master around Zhou Xianzun of Hanyang County and told him that the bitter master planned to sue the official.
At this moment. He couldn't help frowning when he was most afraid of making things bigger: "What strange words?" ”
"Said that since it is just a water separation, there is such a big murder in Hankou Town, why not ask Lei Qingtian to uphold justice?"
Wang Fulin has only been here for less than ten days, and when he heard the word Lei Qingtian, his first reaction was that after more than a year, he had dealt with many officials, and it was the first time he had met an official who could be called Qingtian. However, Second Master Bao's face immediately turned pale, and he exclaimed, "Then the Thunder Plague God has returned to Wuchang?" ”
The people call it Qingtian, but the second master Bao calls it the plague god? The contrast is too great!
didn't wait for Wang Fulin to react. Second Master Bao immediately got up and said, "If the Thunder Plague God is really alarmed, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die!" Petty officials. Without further ado, let's go home! ”
Aunt Huang originally wanted to show off the news she got, keep Wang Fulin, and then let her daughter A Ying, who was dressed in filial piety, sway more in front of this noble son, who knew that the second master Bao was so uncomposed, and directly pulled Wang Fulin away, and was immediately annoyed. She hurriedly chased out, as if she was giving it away, and said babblingly: "There is also Master Ma from the Hanyang County Ya who came to inquire about the weapon fight again and again, but I only said that I didn't know, and I didn't say much to him." The second master is not only considerate, but also the little official helped us solve the big problem, of course we listen to the second master and the little official in everything. ”
Wang Fulin didn't bother to stay here longer, especially when he found that under Ah Ying's filial piety clothes, there was a thin layer of mouth grease and facial fat, which made her look more and more glamorous, where was she as heartbroken as she cried before, worried that the old lady had nothing to support, so he was even more reluctant to have a relationship with others.
After a perfunctory sentence, he left the narrow courtyard and got into the carriage, and before he could ask, the second master Bao said angrily: "The Thunder Plague God obviously heard that he went to Xiangyang before, and picked the thorn of the sub-patrol Dao Xu Observation, why did he suddenly kill back to Wuchang?" Little official, this thunder plague god is amazing, do you know how many people he participated in when he took office in Huguang the year before the imperial history? ”
Second Master Bao directly stretched out a slap, then turned it over again, and said with palpitations: "The year before last, because the grain stored in the reserve warehouse was not enough, a total of more than a dozen county orders in the entire Huguang were fined or even demoted!" After this was done, he was transferred back at the end of his term, but last year, because of the disaster in Huguang, many officials took the relief grain and traded with grain merchants, and as a result, he was transferred to patrol Huguang for the second time, and this time, ten court officials were killed! Among them, there are seven county orders, two general judgments, and one sub-patrol road, a total of ten people! Half of them were directly dismissed, and half of them had to be sent to the army in addition to the stolen money. It's just that this person was picked up by the old man of the high pavilion! ”
As if he was afraid that Wang Fulin would not know how powerful this was, the second master said in a low voice: "This time he went to Xiangyang to find trouble, Xu Xuemo Xu Observation, is the best friend of Zhang Gelao, and he has a better relationship with your uncle Mr. Nanming, who is the same year as Zhang Gelao, so those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!" ”
The water of this lake is so deep, and sure enough, he was pitted by Wang Daokun again! But this time, he also pitted that Zhou Xianzun by the way, and finally pulled one more person into the water!
Wang Fulin inquired and learned that this Huguang Inspector, who had the double nicknames Lei Qingtian and Thunder Plague God, was actually called Lei Jigu, and he was a legendary figure in Huguangduan. This person's initial official, like Shu Bangru and Huang Long, is only a government official in charge of criminal names, but because of the high efficiency of clearing up the backlog of cases, he was selected by the high arch of the discerning pearl, and was promoted to supervise the imperial history.
"He's not going to stop targeting the big guys this time and focus on me and other businessmen, right?"
Regarding the frightened posture of the second master Bao, Wang Fulin couldn't help but secretly admire - being an official is like thunder and blue sky, this is called a fierce reputation! It's just that thinking about it, Lei Jigu is not the kind of official who blindly sells his reputation and reputation, but a doer, this time if it is such a lowly and high-ranking inspector, the imperial history will blatantly intervene. No one can stop it. He was suddenly secretly glad that he didn't think about blindly pressuring.
Thereupon. He comforted the devastated Second Master Bao, thought for a while and said: "By the way, the Second Master has been in Hankou for many years, and he can be regarded as half a local, since he is so afraid of that Lei Shiyu, how about finding someone to keep an eye on him from afar?" ”
Seeing that Second Master Bao was immediately moved, he added: "It's not for anything else, just in case Lei Shiyu didn't want to take care of this matter." But what if someone picks it up? ”
"I'll arrange it!" The second master Bao was so afraid of Lei Jigu's murderous reputation that he immediately stopped the carriage and horses at this time, summoned a steward and gave a few instructions, and after sitting back, he clenched his right hand into a fist and gently beat his left hand, obviously very bottomless.
At this time, Wang Fulin suddenly spoke: "By the way, if that Lei Servant has any signs of meddling in this case, the second master might as well strike first." Directly join the bitter master and go to Hanyang County to complain! ”
"Huh?" Second Master Bao couldn't help but be taken aback. "The little official brought Zhou Xianzun's master to me, didn't he hope that I would take care of the bitter lord and turn a big thing into a small matter?"
"Originally, it was a double plan, and the matter was too big to be covered. Moreover, as far as I know, the weapon fight suddenly provoked by the Dongting Shang Gang this time came too suddenly, and the Hui Gang didn't expect them to be so fierce, so they suffered a big loss and suffered heavy casualties, but why did the other party choose such a time and attack so ruthlessly, can the second master figure it out? Since it was directly hit on the Xin'an wharf, it was someone else's attack, and we were justified no matter what. If others want to make things bigger, we should make things big ourselves, so that we can seize the initiative! ”
Second Master Bao was stunned at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally nodded solemnly: "It's okay, that Zhou County Zun was there, and I asked the little officials to help me speak." Alas, I thought before, this matter will be in the end, maybe I have to rely on Mr. Nanming to see the friendship of fellow villagers and help our Hui businessmen. ”
When Wang Fulin saw Zhou Xianzun again and mentioned Lei Jigu, he found that the strong reaction of Second Master Bao before was by no means excessive, because Zhou Xianzun, who had always behaved calmly in front of him, almost didn't jump up from the chair with a difficult movement at this time, and even his voice trembled.
"Thunder...... Thunder...... When did the Thunder Plague God come back, how do I not know! ”
He hadn't said anything to Wang Fulin before, could it be that the two masters accidentally showed their mouths?
As soon as he said a word, he realized that he had lost his temper, but at this time, compared to letting Wang Fulin see the joke, he was more afraid of letting Lei Jigu catch the pigtails, and after he barely sat down, he complained: "This Lei Jigu is really good at picking bones in eggs." At the beginning of my tenure, because he came to check the reserve warehouse, I urgently added 500 stone of grain to the reserve warehouse out of my own pocket, so that I escaped being fined. Last year's catastrophe, I was able to provide disaster relief, and I didn't contaminate those black-hearted grain merchants at all, but I was still found by Lei Jigu with a bunch of stubble. Now if he, who is the best at prison, intervenes again, my county magistrate will really not be able to do it! ”
Therefore, compared to this one, his murderous name is really a small thing!
Wang Fulin had this very irrelevant thought in his heart, and then owed Zhou Xianzun with a smile: "County Zun, this time there is such a case, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and it is impossible to cover the lid." In that case, why don't you give it a go? Please listen to me, after all, this is the home stadium in Hanyang County, if ......"
As he spoke, his voice fell. And Zhou Xianzun frowned when he heard this, and then gradually stretched out, and finally knocked on the handrail hard, gritted his teeth and said, "It's done!" When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! I didn't do anything bad this time, I'm not afraid that he will find a thunder plague god! ”
