Chapter Twenty-Six: Sudden Changes
Shi Wei vaguely remembered that the Southern Tang Kingdom adopted the two-capital system.
When the Southern Tang Dynasty was founded, Yangzhou was the eastern capital, and Jiangning Mansion, where Jinling was located, was the western capital.
In the sixth year of Zhou Xiande, after the lord Li Jing ceded the fourteen states of Jiangbei to the Zhou State, he promoted Hongzhou to Nanchang Mansion, which was called the southern capital.
Jiangning Prefecture has more than ten counties under the jurisdiction of the capital city Jiangning (Jinling), Shangyuan, Jurong, Dangtu, [***], etc., and Yin, Jiangning Prefecture is equivalent to the mayor of Yanjing City.
Although Shi Wei is only a citizen of the city in a county, because Dangtu is close to the capital Jiangning and near Gyeonggi, he can also hear a lot of gossip about the court.
Before he knew more than a month, this person named Lu Xuanming was promoted to Jiangning Mansion Yin, but he didn't think that this new Mansion Yin would start to inspect the counties of Jiangning Mansion as soon as he took office, and the first stop was Dangtu County.
The new top boss inspected his own land, and Xin Yi, a subordinate, naturally did not dare to slack off, thinking that he wanted to create a grand welcome scene, so he would treat this as a figure with a head and face in Tu Cheng, and even a character like Xiong Qingye was invited to support the scene.
Seeing that Xiong Qingye had something to do, Shi Wei just found an excuse to leave.
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and in the past few days, the poor people in Tu County have been living a very bad life.
The county magistrate Xin Yi ordered that all the beggars begging along the streets be arrested and imprisoned, and all the torn hawkers were driven into the alleys, and they were not allowed to sell on the streets, and the households along the streets were not allowed to dry their clothes outdoors.
All kinds of measures were taken because of the Jiangning Mansion Yin's inspection, and this Xin County Commander was to serve as a faΓ§ade in front of his superiors, so as to show how prosperous Dangtu was under his rule and how rich and educated the people were.
In the evening of this day, Ping'an Hall closed early, Shi Wei, Shi Niang and Lilac were having dinner by themselves, and they had just eaten a few bites, but they heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is coming to see the doctor at such a late hour?" Fan Peilan doubted.
"Maybe it's an emergency, Lilac, open the door and take a look." Shi Wei commanded.
Lilac hurriedly put down her chopsticks and trotted to the front hospital hall, and soon heard a "squeak" the door open, and then heard Lilac scream.
Shi Wei and the others were shocked, and they hurriedly got up and ran to the front hall, and when they entered the door, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Lilac was helping a panting woman with difficult steps to move into the hall, and the woman turned out to be Xiong Qingdai.
Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xiong Qingdai, and asked in surprise: "Miss Xiong, it's so late, why did you come to my medical center, does he know about the Xiong gang leader?" β
"Big brother, he...... He ......"
Xiong Qingdai's breath was dying, and a "he" just came out, and he fainted when he closed his eyes.
"Miss Xiong!"
Shi Wei was taken aback, and hurriedly held the soft body that had fallen down, and suddenly felt a wet feeling in his palm, and when he raised his hand, he found that his palm was stained with blood.
When I looked down, I was shocked to realize that her skirt had turned red, most likely caused by the wound she had broken all the way from the bear mansion.
As soon as they saw the blood, the two women screamed in unison.
"Bring me my medicine kit."
Shi Wei picked up Xiong Qingdai and ran to his room, when he put the fainting woman in his arms on the bed, Fan Peilan had already taken all the things to treat the wound, and Lilac also came with a handful of hot water.
Although there were others at the moment, Shi Wei couldn't care about it, rolled up her sleeves and pulled down her skirt to the end, and in front of the two women, she cleaned the wound and reapplied the ointment, and it took a long time to re-bandage her wound.
Shi Weichang exhaled and sat down.
He saw that although Xiong Qingdai's breath gradually subsided, her face was pale and bloodless, so he ordered: "I see that she must have lost a lot of blood all the way to our Ping'an Hall, cloves, please make some red dates and glutinous rice porridge." β
Lilac went away.
"Yuanzhi, how can this Miss Xiong be so badly injured and come to our Peace Hall at night?"
Fan Peilan still looked confused, she saw that Shi Wei was busy for a long time, and his head was covered with sweat, so she picked up a wet towel to gently wipe the sweat beads on his forehead for him.
Shi Wei shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but I think something big should have happened, and let's wait for her to wake up." β
Fan Peilan sighed and said no more.
In this way, Shi Wei and the others stayed by the bedside, and after more than an hour, Xiong Qingdai woke up faintly.
Shi Wei's face was happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss Xiong, are you awake, do you feel better?" β
Xiong Qingdai was confused for a moment, gradually came to his senses, and suddenly grabbed Shi Wei's hand tightly, and shouted nervously: "Shi Langzhong, my eldest brother is ......."
She was in such a hurry, and her breath was not smooth.
"Don't worry, your wound has cracked and you have lost a lot of blood, drink this bowl of red date glutinous rice porridge first."
Shi Wei Wenyan comforted her, took the porridge from Lilac's hand, tried it with the tip of his tongue, felt lukewarm, and then helped her up with one hand and brought the bowl to her mouth with the other.
Xiong Qingdai had to lean on Shi Wei's shoulder weakly, slowly swallowing the porridge one by one, and occasionally a little leaked from the corner of her mouth, and Shi Wei wiped it off for her with a handkerchief.
"I really didn't expect that Yuanzhi is still such a careful and considerate man......"
Looking at such a scene, Fan Peilan sighed in her heart, and a strange look appeared in her eyes, which seemed to be a little surprised, and seemed to be a little envious.
Xiong Qingdai drank up a bowl of porridge, her qi and blood were a little better, and Shi Wei asked her what happened.
She said silently: "Big brother, he was arrested by the government." β
Xiong Qingye was caught?
Hearing this, not only Shi Wei, but even Fan Peilan and Ding Xiang, the two women, were also surprised.
The leader of the dignified fishing gang, the leader of the gang at the number one in Tucheng, is close to the county magistrate, how could such a character be suddenly arrested without warning?
This kind of thing, in other words, no one will believe it.
"Why was he arrested?" Shi Wei looked suspicious.
Xiong Qingdai shook her head and said: "I don't know, anyway, in the evening, a lot of arresters suddenly broke into the house, and I arrested my eldest brother without saying anything, and also sealed my house, and everyone was driven out." β
"Could it be that the government is raiding the anti-pornography and anti-crime ......," Shi Wei muttered.
"Sweeping pornography and fighting black?" The three women, including Xiong Qingdai, were all at a loss when they heard these four words.
Shi Wei realized that he had accidentally slipped out of the new word again, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm muttering nonsense." Miss Xiong, since the leader of the Xiong gang was arrested, how do you think of me in the Peace Hall? β
mentioned this time, Xiong Qingdai showed even more sadness and helplessness.
It turned out that the yamen's intentions this time were not simple, and while they were catching Xiong Qingye, they swept all the branches of the fishing gang and arrested the leaders of those halls.
After Xiong Qingdai was kicked out of the house, she wanted to go to other gangs to discuss, but after running several branches, she found that the entire fishing gang was almost served in one pot.
The No. 1 gang of Dangtu, who claimed to have hundreds of people, collapsed overnight, and the gang that lost its leader scattered in all directions, Xiong Qingdai suddenly found that she was alone and had nothing to rely on, so she had to come to find Shi Wei.
"The relationship between the fishing gang and the yamen has always been good, when Tu Yamen thinks about it up and down, he has received a lot of benefits every year, but now he wants to eradicate the fishing gang overnight, this matter is not simple."
After a little thought, Shi Wei realized the seriousness of this matter.
That Xiong Qingdai suddenly hugged Shi Wei's arm, and her face swelled with pleading, "Shi Langzhong, now that the fishing gang has been overturned, only you can help me, please save my eldest brother." β
"Me?" Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "A person as big as the bear gang leader can't save himself, Shi is just a small man, how can he help Miss without power and power." β
Xiong Qingdai hurriedly said: "I heard that my eldest brother said that Shi Langzhong treated Mrs. County Order, and I heard that the county order is very polite to you, so I ask Shi Langzhong to intercede with the county order for my eldest brother." β
"This ......," Shi Wei hesitated.
I wanted to ask Xiong Qingye to do something by myself, but he flatly refused on the grounds that it was unprofitable, and now the surname Xiong has suffered this catastrophe, it stands to reason that Shi Wei should be happy to see him lively.
Moreover, Xin Yi was willing to cut the meat that was sent to his mouth every year, and uprooted Xiong Qingye with such a thunderous means, which shows that there must be greater benefits than taking bribes, and he can't influence the decision-making of the county order at all with his own face.
With these two points, Shi Wei weighed it and knew that it was not the best strategy to save the bear Qingye.
Seeing that Shi Wei seemed to be embarrassed, Xiong Qingdai suddenly jumped off the bed, knelt down for Shi Wei, and begged with tears in his eyes: "I only have such a big brother, I beg Shi Langzhong to save him, as long as Shi Langzhong is pertinent, I Xiong Qingdai is willing to die for Shi Langzhong." β
