Chapter 22: He Came After Him
Jianchang County, belonging to Jiangxi Nankangfu, adjacent to Poyang Lake, a Jianchang River passes through the county. Ming Xiaozong divided Zhang Yanling as 'Jianchang Bo' and then 'Jianchang Marquis', his fief is this small county, which is also the only place where this small county is remembered in the Ming Dynasty.
However, now this small county town has once again become the focus of attention of the court. Because more than ten days ago, this county seat was just breached. The county treasury was looted, nearly 300 officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and even a county and a county were killed.
The government and the opposition were shocked.
Just when the people of Jianchang County were eagerly looking forward to the court sending an army to eliminate the culprit of this incident, the water coward hidden deep in the waters of the vast Poyang Lake, the latest court decree came from the county office, and the court would send Pai Qin down to investigate the cause of the incident.
Although Feng Daolin, the canonical historian of Jianchang County, was killed, he was the main person involved, so before the arrival of the imperial court, there could not be a single action about him, even if he was about to become a rotting corpse now.
Wang Xian, the county magistrate of Jianchang, was already frightened, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he not only sent someone to watch the morgue, but also sent someone to watch Feng Dianshi's family closely.
The house of Feng Daolin, the original Jianchang County Dianshi, on the side of the street at the east gate of the county seat, is a large compound covering a wide area, if it were not for Feng Dianshi's accidental death, this should be a busy traffic in front of the door, but now it is a door.
Feng Suqin, who was dressed in a sky blue cloth skirt, opened the door and went out with a basket in her hand. Under a big poplar tree at the gate of Feng's house, the two officials who were chatting looked at her and continued to chat disapprovingly. They all know this girl with a good face and a moving body, she is Feng Daolin's niece, and she only knows that her surname is Feng. To say that this Feng girl is really good to this uncle's family, she goes out early in the morning to buy vegetables and rice, since Feng Dianshi's accident, a room of old and young people have no idea, only this Feng girl endures her grief and still goes out on time to maintain the family's food and clothing.
Therefore, the guards had a good impression of Miss Feng. One of the officials even greeted Feng Suqin with a smile: "Miss Feng, I went out to buy vegetables early in the morning." ”
Feng Suqin walked forward along the street, picked a few green vegetables and two bitter gourds from the vegetable seller on the street, and when she passed by the pork stall, she glanced at the fresh pork on the board and was reluctant to buy it.
Alas, buy meat the day after tomorrow. Feng Suqin sighed silently in her heart. No one in the Feng family knows the family's current economic situation better than her. Since the death of his uncle Feng Daolin, the family spent a lot of money on the funeral, and when he was about to be buried, he was taken away by the county government, and he made a lot of silver to the county government, just to make Feng Daolin enter the earth as soon as possible, but Wang County's order never let go.
After spending a lot, the Feng family didn't have much money left except for the house, the aunt, the little cousin and the jewelry of the women.
Feng Suqin thought of herself and her mother knocking on the door of the Feng family in rags, the loving eyes of her uncle Feng Daolin when she saw the two of them for the first time, and the many ways that her uncle and little cousin took care of her mother and son, Feng Suqin has always remembered in her heart. She has always been a strong person, and she is also a person who values affection and righteousness, the Feng family is kind to herself, Feng Suqin can't let the Feng family collapse.
Since my uncle's accident, today is the twelfth day.
Feng Suqin thought that his uncle was dedicated to the public and dedicated half his life to the court, just like his father back then, he was a person who Feng Suqin respected, however, his uncle died in his post, not only failed to exchange for half a sentence of comfort from the court, but even died for a long time and could not be buried in peace.
What happened to this court? What else does this Ming official do?
Feng Suqin bought the day's food, temporarily stored it in a familiar store, and came to Jianchang County again alone, and once again asked to see the county lord.
The official on duty knew that this was the niece of Lord Yuandianshi, and he still remembered the old friendship of Feng Dianshi, and beckoned her to sit in the side hall, so he went to inform Wang Xian, the magistrate.
Feng Suqin sat in the side hall for more than an hour, but she couldn't see Wang Xianling, and her deep sense of powerlessness made her extremely depressed.
Jianchang is the master of Bo, Lord Ge Qiaoge happened to enter the side hall to find someone to do something, saw Feng Suqin, knew her intention, and sighed at the moment, he saw that there was no one left and right, and stepped forward and said to Feng Suqin: "Miss Feng, it's useless for you to wait like this." There is a clear order from above, the county lord has always been a person who has no ideas, this time Jianchang County has such a big leak, the county is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself, how can he promise you to bury Feng Daolin in advance, and there will be more trouble? ”
When Feng Suqin heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad, she raised her tearful eyes and looked at the white-haired Lord Ge Qiaoge, who was over half a hundred years old, and choked up: "Lord Ge, the people know that Lord Ge and my uncle have always been good, but now my uncle died unexpectedly, and he can't go into the ground for a long time...... The folk girl is a cow and a horse, and she will also repay Lord Ge's great kindness. ”
Ge Qiao sighed again, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Miss Feng, it's not that I don't help, Feng Dianshi is also a person I have always respected, I have mentioned this matter to the county lord no less than three or four times, alas, the old man can't do anything." ”
Feng Suqin was stunned when she heard this, and her face was ashen. I know that even Master Ge can't make sense, so it's really unimaginable. She bowed bitterly to Ge Qiaofu and walked out.
"Miss Feng?" Ge Qiao shouted.
Feng Suqin stopped and looked at him inquiringly.
Ge Qiao cautiously glanced around, and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered at the moment: "Jianchang's newly arrived Master Dianshi was directly sent down by the political envoy Yamen, and I heard that he is a student of Huang Weizhong Senate Huang, you might as well go and beg him, and hope that Lord Dianshi will come forward, and Lord Xianzun will give a few thin noodles." ”
When Feng Suqin heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly thanked Ge Qiao, and then went to find the newly arrived Master Dianshi.
The office room of the history of the canon was next to the county Cheng's room, Feng Suqin arrived outside the door, and was just about to go in, when he heard a loud voice from the room, and couldn't help but stop. It's not that she wants to eavesdrop, it's just that the people inside are talking too loudly, and they can't hear it if they don't want to.
I only heard a young voice say: "The palace director, this official asked you to take the list of officials in Jianchang County, what are you getting here?" Is there a roster of the third class of officers? ”
Another old voice said slowly: "Lord Dianshi, you asked me to take the list of officials, I want to go up and down in Jianchang County, from the third class of soap officials, the six-room scribes, to the suburbs of the first head, the chief, that one is not my Jianchang County officials, and you didn't say which piece you want, then I have to find a list of all the officials in my Jianchang County, and give it to your lords." ”
The young voice seemed to endure for a while, and Fang said: "Okay, then I didn't explain it clearly this time, now the official will say it again, you have heard the palace director clearly, the official wants to check the list of the leaders of each class, the head of each township, and the head of each house, you go and find it for me." ”
The old voice coughed twice and said, "Then, my lord, rest, the lower official has to go back and tidy up, and he will be able to come up with a roster that satisfies you." ”
"Well," the young voice said, "Then the trouble palace master has sorted it out, and I'll send it over in the afternoon." ”
"It's not that fast." The old voice said: "The lower official has to go back to find all the colleagues in the officer's room, summarize the files of various places, and copy and sort them out, and it will definitely not be possible to do it in the afternoon." ”
"Uh, when will that be okay?"
"Well, this, it will take at least three to five days to get it all ready."
At this time, there was silence in the room, and an old man who was nearly sixty years old came out of the history room leisurely. Feng Suqin waited for the old man to walk away, and only then entered the house, and just stepped into the threshold, only to hear a bang, a teacup was thrown out of it, smashed at Feng Suqin's feet, and shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
Feng Suqin shuddered and screamed.
The people in the house were shocked when they heard this, and they hurriedly walked out of it, and when they saw the people coming, they couldn't help but be stunned on both sides.
Feng Suqin looked blankly at this handsome face that was flushed with anger and his eyebrows were deep at this moment, this young man who occasionally walked into his sleep was actually standing in front of him alive at this moment.
He, he actually chased Jianchang? Feng Suqin suddenly said such a sentence in her heart, and when she woke up, she couldn't help but blush.
Xu Liang came back to his senses first, he ate and asked, "Miss Feng, how did you get here?" ”
"Ah," Feng Suqin was asked by Xu Liang, and she also came to her senses, she stroked the bangs in front of her forehead, pinched the corners of her skirt, and replied: "That day, I returned to Wan'an County, and the next day I followed my mother here to join my uncle." ”
"Oh." Xu Liang looked at Feng Suqin carefully, he hadn't seen him for more than a month, Feng Suqin looked much more energetic, and she was more charming and moving. He said: "Presumably, your uncle is also a rich and noble family in Jianchang County, so you don't have to suffer so much after you follow him." ”
Feng Suqin heard him talk about his uncle, Fang woke up to the purpose of his coming here, and hurriedly put away his little thoughts about his daughter's family, and said solemnly: "Gongzi Xu, you have come to Jianchang to pawn history, that's really good, you can help me plead with the county lord and ask him to return my uncle to us." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "What, what did your uncle do to let the county lord order it?" ”
"It's not!" Feng Suqin cried: "My uncle has died in battle, I just want to return my uncle's body as soon as possible, so that I can bury it as soon as possible......"
Xu Liang was even more shocked, died in battle? "Miss Feng, your uncle, which one is it?"
Feng Suqin wiped away her tears and said solemnly: "My uncle is the former Jianchang Dian Shi, Feng Daolin!" ”
Xu Liang was completely stunned, looked at Feng Suqin in a daze, and couldn't say a word.
My God, Feng Daolin turned out to be Feng Suqin's uncle, this, how is this good?
