Chapter 16: Resolving the Crisis (Part II)
The official hat, the official clothes, Du Hong instructed the officials to play the county honor guard, everything was ready to stop, and he was about to step out, but when he turned his head, he saw Du Yan standing in the public house, with a hesitant and uneasy face.
Du Hong frowned: "Yan'er, go back to the inner courtyard to help your mother tidy up the house, Shi Lu came with a grudge this time, and the examination comments will definitely not say anything good, the old man will hand over his resignation letter tomorrow, and we will return home." ”
Du Yan hurriedly said: "Dad, this matter is still ......."
"Why?"
"Do you remember that scholar named Qin Kan? He thought of a solution for his daughter......"
Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Du Hong: "It's just nonsense!" Young people are too ignorant, you just mess around, and you actually pull someone else, the officialdom is deep and turbid, so why do you mess around? ”
"Dad, he really has a way to ......"
"Shut up! What has happened to a female generation and a scholar who has made a name for himself? Yan'er, my Du family is a pure white family, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet running around outside all day long, and you are still entangled with strange men, what kind of system! Go back to the inner courtyard quickly, the old man will punish you for grounding, and you will not be allowed to go out in the future! ”
After Du Hong finished speaking, he angrily brushed his sleeves away.
Du Yan looked at her father's old back in a daze, and shed tears for no reason.
Dad is a good official, he has always pretended to be the people in his heart, and has always adhered to the belief of benefiting one party, such a good official should not fall into the fate of being forced to return to his hometown by Xiaoxiao.
Standing quietly for a long time, Du Yan wiped her tears violently, and her expression became resolute.
Qin Kan, I hope you don't let me down.
The west gate of Shaoxing City.
Du Hong stood quietly on the right side of the city gate, behind him stood in order of official rank and grade of the county Cheng, the classic history, the main book, the head catcher, there should have been a staff master, but unfortunately the master was too smart, after knowing that the county owner had actually offended the patrol according to the imperial history, as early as yesterday, he handed over his resignation to Du Hong very sensibly, and left Shanyin County overnight, looking for the next Bole.
There are also two military attachés and a platoon of soldiers standing on the left side of the road, the military attache is Liu Yang and Ding Xiong, the deputy inspector of the Shanyin County Inspection Division.
Inspector Liu Yang is a middle-aged man in his thirties, he looks quite rough, he is wearing a green military attache uniform, embroidered with a nine-grade seahorse tonic on his chest, standing in front of the soldiers like a tiger entrenched, his eyes swept over Du Hong on the right side of the road from time to time, with a little sympathy in his eyes.
It is common for the Ming Dynasty to worship literature and despise martial arts, but there are exceptions. Du Hong is an exception, he has been very friendly with Liu Yang since he took office, the inspection department is responsible for the city investigation, anti-theft, anti-smuggling, and cooperate with the yamen to catch and patrol the city and many other duties, Du Hong has never looked down on these vulgar martial artists, so that Liu Yang is very grateful to Du Hong, but everything in the city, all are only to obey orders.
The grievances between the patrol and Du Hong have long been in the city, of course Liu Yang has heard about it, seeing that this good boss is about to be dismissed, Liu Yang's heart has been blocked, full of anger but he doesn't know how to vent.
If Lord Du is deposed, will the next magistrate be so kind to him as a martial artist?
The left and right sides of the city gate were full of officials and soldiers, and everyone kept an eerie quiet, but each had different thoughts.
After the two pillars of incense, the official driver of the imperial history Shi Lu came from afar, Du Hong looked at Shi Lu's official car with a blank face, and sighed in his heart, finally came......
Shi Lu's official drive was not extravagant, only a carriage, a coachman, four or five accompanying soldiers, and a domestic servant.
The patrol is responsible for picketing discipline according to the imperial history, and the impeachment and judgment are naturally to lead by example, so they are particularly cautious in terms of honor guards and personal use, and some imperial historians even deliberately sew a few patches on the new official uniform in order to have a clean reputation, and the officialdom atmosphere is so ridiculous. …,
The official driver was not in a hurry, and soon arrived at the West City Gate, and the officials of the county government were ready to take a few steps forward to show etiquette, but they saw that Du Zhixian did not move, and his feet were not eight, like clay wood carvings. The officials looked at each other, but they didn't take a step.
If the first official does not move, the officials below naturally dare not move, this is the rule.
The carriage stopped at the city gate, the curtain was lifted, and Shi Lu, who was dressed in a formal official robe, was helped out of the carriage by the domestic servants.
Shi Lu is about forty years old, with a thin figure, ordinary but a bit awe-inspiring, and a black beard under his chin fluttering in the wind, quite decent.
Dressed properly, seeing that the county officials were looking at each other from a distance across the long city gate, but no one stepped forward to greet him, Shi Lu couldn't help frowning, and looked at it, and there was a proud figure standing at the head, standing proudly in the wind, but it was so dazzling.
Shi Lu's face suddenly became gloomy, and soon he smiled again, Ha Luha laughed twice, took the initiative to walk through the road, and bowed his hand to Du Hong.
"Du Zhixian in person, Nanjing for two years, is it okay?"
Shi Lu was arranged to live in the official post.
Two days have passed, and the Shanyin County Ya is still as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and Shi Lu's arrival does not seem to cause any ripples.
But the atmosphere in the yamen is getting more and more tense day by day, from the county to the miscellaneous servants, and everyone doesn't even dare to come out.
Calm does not mean that nothing happens, on the contrary, the calmer it is, the more it means that a storm is coming.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
…………
…………
Du Yan couldn't stay in the inner courtyard of the yamen.
She really couldn't stand the low pressure in the yamen, which made her feel a sense of breathless depression, and at the same time she was also very angry, Qin Kan said that he would help her solve this dead end, but Shi Lu had been there for two days, and there was no movement on Qin Kan's side.
What the hell is this guy doing? Didn't he know that Daddy Ludao's official position was in danger?
So Du Yan was wrapped in the wind and thunder and ran to the inn in a rage.
It was still a familiar way of kicking the door with vigor, and the guy at the inn only saw a young woman rushing into Qin Gongzi's room, and then there was a crackling sound from inside, and Qin Gongzi's angry and anxious roar: "The surname is Du, are you going to take people's lives......", and there was no sound in the room at the end.
In the room, Du Yan rubbed her wrist happily, but her expression was much more relaxed, and the corners of her mouth even showed a little smile.
Qin Kan lay on the edge of the table with his dying breath, half of his body was unconscious in pain.
Du Yan looked at Qin Kan's appearance, with a little apology on her face: "I'm sorry, Qin Gongzi, just now I really felt a sense of anger in my heart, and after kicking open your door, I saw that you looked like I was underbeaten, especially when you smiled, as if reminding me to beat you, the little woman didn't have to be polite......
Qin Kan: "............"
PS: Excuse me...... I'm asking for a recommendation again...... If you haven't voted today, hurry up......
