Chapter 25: The Mountains Don't Turn and the Water Turns
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Ye Xiaotian opened twice, this time he was really a little tired, he was sleeping soundly on the couch on his back, Ruo Xiaosheng ran to the gate of the courtyard, tiptoed, pinched his throat, and shouted through the door: "Miss Doni, Miss Doni, get up quickly......"
Ruo Xiaosheng shouted twice and felt that it was inappropriate, although this was Miss Doni's yard, but he came to find the master, this sneaky, in case the master heard it, and then suspected that he had an unclear relationship with Miss Doni......
Ruo Xiaosheng slapped himself lightly, and hurriedly said: "Master, master, get up quickly......"
Don't look at Dou Ni Don't be a girl's family, but she sleeps very deeply, especially today, the body that was tossed by Ye Xiaotian is about to fall apart, and at this time, I am afraid that I can't wake up with thunder, Ruo Xiaosheng howled a few times, and the girl who was still sleeping in the side compartment heard it, got up in her clothes and asked outside the door: "Who?" ”
Ruo Xiaosheng hurriedly replied: "It's me, Menzi Lao Ruo, someone from the government has come, 100,000 urgent matters, ask to see the master." ”
"Got it!"
Xiao Yahuan agreed, and knocked at the door of the main house, which woke Ye Xiaotian up, the candle on the table was not extinguished, Ye Xiaotian asked outside through the dim light, and learned that it was from the government, and he was immediately shocked, there were so many big things today, he was really afraid of any accidents.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly grabbed his clothes and put them on, and when he turned around, he saw Doni curled up like a little lazy cat sleeping sweetly, half of her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and she shone like jade in the light, and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, cover the quilt for her, and then tiptoe out.
Ye Xiaotian followed Ruo Xiaosheng to the front yard, and saw a servant standing in front of the wall, and he didn't see the person's appearance clearly under the cold moonlight, the person had taken a few steps forward in a hurry, saluted Ye Xiaotian, and said anxiously: "My lord." The villain is a prison guard, and he was ordered to report that there were gangsters robbing the prison, and the king's master book was rescued! ”
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Half an hour later, Ye Xiaotian had already appeared in Huxian Prison. Outside the prison has been arrested, and the lights inside and outside the prison are bright. As soon as Ye Xiaotian arrived, Ma Hui and Xu Haoran immediately led him inside, reporting the situation to him as they went.
Ye Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "How many people died?" ”
Ma Hui said: "There are no dead people, there are four patrols in the courtyard." There were two cell bosses and two prison patrolmen, a total of eight people, most of whom were knocked unconscious, among which only the cell boss Lao Xing suffered a little wound in the throat and had difficulty speaking, and the two prison guards patrolling the prison had bruises on their chests. ”
"Huh?"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Ma Hui, and continued to walk on his feet. asked, "Apart from the king's book, who else has been rescued?" ”
Xu Haoran said abruptly: "No one else has saved anyone, but ...... Chang Zizi and Lu Mo were killed by them! ”
Ye Xiaotian suddenly paused again.
On the wall of the door of the cell, Su Xuntian was holding a torch on the side. Hua Qingtian looked directly at the pattern on the wall, and asked Su Xuntian in a daze for a while: "Xuntian, what is this?" ”
Su Xuntian said: "This should be a swarm of bees." ”
Hua Qingfeng's face became even more ugly: "Bees? Swarm? Is the king's book ......?"
Su Xuntian said: "I'm afraid that eight or nine will not leave ten, and I will interrogate the prisoners in prison." Listening to them, the king is not an unrestrained reader, but a martial arts master with an amazing art industry. Chang Zizi and Lu Mo were killed by him. ”
Hua Qingfeng said in confusion: "It's strange, since he is full of martial arts, why didn't he flee that day, but was arrested calmly?" ”
Hua Qingfeng muttered to herself, in fact, she already believed it in her heart, thinking that she had worked with the mysterious thief in Yungui for five years, and intrigued with each other in private, and now she could still live here in a good manner, and she couldn't help but fight a cold war.
Ye Xiaotian walked over, and when he saw Hua Qingfeng stretching his neck to look at the wall, he hurriedly followed suit, and when he looked at the pattern on the wall, his face became extremely ugly. Ye Xiaotian looked at it in a daze for a long time, then suddenly turned his head to Su Xuntian and asked, "Su Zhutou, have you ever sent someone to visit the Wang family?" ”
Su Xuntian said: "Zhou Zhutou took people to go, but there is no news yet." ”
Before the words were finished, a torch flashed in the distance, and Zhou Bantou ran back panting with a group of heavily armed catchers: "The eldest master, the second master, the people of the Wang family have gone all the way at some point, and the strange thing is that in their house, there are two of our people tied up." ”
Hua Qingfeng suddenly realized and said, "I understand, he was deliberately arrested in order to give his family time to escape." ”
Ye Xiaotian didn't know what he was talking about, so he saw the two catchers come forward, lowered his head in shame, and said to him: "My lord, the villain is ashamed, I can't watch the people of the Wang family, and ...... Returning to the way of others, as soon as we wake up, we will ...... He found that he was tied to a pillar in the hall, and no one saw him. ”
These two people were the two people who were sent by Ye Xiaotian to spy on the Wang family, Ye Xiaotian sighed, patted them on the shoulder and said: "If you don't watch it, you don't watch it, it's already a fluke that you can survive, and you have never left anyone alive." ”
Hua Qingfeng was reminded by Ye Xiaotian's words, slapped her palms, and suddenly said excitedly: "That's right!" A swarm of bees has always been to kill them all, but this time they are kind-hearted, isn't it strange? They are not a swarm of bees, they must have deliberately left a mark of a swarm of bees to lead us astray! ”
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him strangely, and said in his heart: "The person has been rescued, even if it is not done by a swarm of bees, what is the difference, what are you excited about?"
Hua Qingfeng thought in her heart: "It's not just a swarm of bees!" If the county is really offended by the ruthless Jiangyang thieves, now that they have cut off their financial routes, it would be strange if they would not steal the head of Xiang Shangshang in the future. ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Originally, Chen Muyan, as the ambassador of the tax department, was bribed into the water to provide convenience for smugglers, which was just an ordinary corruption case, but Wang Zhushu, as a person who had long been a thief of smuggling, was actually appointed by the government as the chief secretary of a county, and used his official body as a cover in this position to wantonly sell smugglers and ban them for several years, and finally he successfully escaped from prison, which is intolerable.
This case has been stabbed in front of the young and vigorous Wanli Emperor. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, there is already a New Year atmosphere in the imperial city, and the entire capital is preparing for the New Year. At this moment, the case was handed to Emperor Wanli, and Long Yan was furious.
The emperor ordered the world to be wanted with all his might, and he also wanted to investigate the person who recommended Wang Ning as an official back then, but after checking and checking, the matter suddenly disappeared, and the emperor stopped asking about the matter, as if it had never happened.
It is said that it is only said that Wang Ning played a role in quelling the rebellion between the two Tusi. Therefore, he was hired exceptionally and appointed as the chief secretary of Hu County. This case involves a group of heroes who contributed to the suppression of the rebellion at the beginning, and if the investigation is detailed, it is inevitable that a bunch of pickled things will be found again.
Emperor Wanli has just overthrown Zhang Juzheng, and the civil official system is being reshuffled, and he doesn't want to make a big move to attack the military general system again. Therefore, the emperor only issued a decree to order the Nanjing Ministry to send officials to Huxian to take over Wang Ning's position, and the matter was over.
Nanjing City, the Ministry of Langzhong Guo Shun's house. Bai Hong, the former Jiangpu magistrate, said to Guo Langzhong with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, you must help me, the younger brother doesn't want to go to Huxian County to serve, where the mountains and rivers are high and dangerous, barbarians are everywhere, the atmosphere is vicious, and the people are fierce......"
Guo Langzhong said impatiently: "Oops! You are the one named by Meng Shilang. Now that Meng Shilang is serving in the Ministry of Officials in the capital, he will reinstate you as an official at once, isn't that a slap in the face of Meng Shilang, and you will turn a deaf ear when Meng Shilang hears about it? Then I will be involved with you. ”
This was originally Baihong, Jiangpu Zhi County. On the day when Ye Xiaotian went to Nanjing to serve as a promotion official, he heard that he was a famous cool official and deliberately teased him. asked Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi to pretend to help him tidy up his clothes and hide a scorpion in his hat.
At that time, he made a big fool in front of Guo Shilang, although Guo Shilang blasted Ye Xiaotian from the Ministry of Officials to the Criminal Department, but he really checked this Bai Hong with his heart, and found that he was really an official fan, and he was only an official who was important in the exam, in order to get a good evaluation from his boss, he pretended to be wrong, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and did not report the disaster in the year of the disaster, but still blindly extorted taxes from the people, and the people's voice was extremely poor, so he was dismissed in anger.
However, the dismissal and the reduction of the post are two different things. "Cutting one's post for the people" is "cutting one's status", and he has been stripped of his qualifications as an official, and he has become a flat-headed commoner, his identity is gone, all his official privileges are gone, and even the gifts of his deceased parents have to be taken away.
Dismissal is "the crown and the belt are idle", the position of the official is gone, but the identity and rank of the official are still there. Bai Hong's Jiangpu Zhixian envoy is gone, but he is still a seven-rank official, and he is still an official, so it is possible to reuse it, especially when "there are people in the court".
Bai Hong is "someone in the court", and Guo Shun is his brother-in-law. Of course, his sister is not a real sister, take their family's genealogy and flip through it, and ask some old people in their family, this Guo Shun's wife is indeed the cousin of Bai Hong's seventh aunt and eighth aunt.
So after Bai Hong learned about this relationship, he immediately came to the door to give a generous gift, and affectionately recognized this relative, although the pro is a distant relative, but the two families are close to each other, Guo Shun is a person with soft ears and can't hear the pillow wind, so he pondered to help him recover.
It's just that this Bai Hong is Meng Shilang's dismissal after all, and now Meng Shilang has been promoted to the capital officials, which is more powerful than when he was in Nanjing, and Guo Langzhong has no reason to be arrogant, how dare he blatantly give Bai Hong a county order position.
This time, it happened that Beijing issued an official document, and the Nanjing Ministry of Officials selected officials to serve as the chief bookkeeper in Huxian County, Guo Langzhong came up with such a compromise idea with an idea. Compared with the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, Huxian County is not the same, no one wants to go at all, he just sent Bai Hong to serve as the chief bookkeeper as a seven-rank official.
As long as Bai Hong stays there for three years and two years, there is no merit and hard work, and then let him be reinstated as an official and choose a wealthy county in the south of the Yangtze River to be the county commander. Who would have thought that this Bai Hong didn't know what to do, Guo Shun said angrily: "You say that no one really wants to go to this master book, there are no incumbent officials, but there are many alternate officials rushing to go, if you are afraid of hardship, then I will choose someone else." ”
Mrs. Guo also persuaded: "Yes! Brother Hong, didn't your brother-in-law say that you don't need to be meritorious when you go there, but you will be transferred back after three years or two years, and then you will be reinstated in a justifiable manner, what are you worried about. It's not easy for your brother-in-law to fight for this opportunity for you, if you give up, but I don't know what year and month it will be a day to recover. ”
Bai Hong stomped his feet, had to tell the truth, and said with a sad face: "Little brother, I am not afraid of hardship, in fact, when I was the county magistrate in Jiangpu, I was not greedy or not happy, but I paid too much attention to the examination and was not very sympathetic to the people." ended up like this. I'm not afraid of hardship, it's just ...... It's just that you really can't go to this Hu County. ”
Guo Shun said angrily: "If you are not afraid of hardship, why can't you go?" That's not Longtan Tiger's Den! ”
Bai Hong nodded seriously and said, "Brother-in-law, although Huxian County is not Longtan Tiger's Den, it is almost the same, and the feng shui there is not good." ”
Guo Shun was stunned by Bai Hong, and said in amazement: "Huxian Feng Shui is not good? Who did you listen to, you haven't been to Huxian, how do you know that feng shui is not good there? ”
Bai Hong said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that Ye Xiaotian is there to be a county minister, and where Ye Xiaotian is, the wind level is not good!" ”
