Chapter 218: Timely Letter

Jiang Long heard Jiang Qi's helplessness.

I couldn't help but be curious, so I opened my mouth and asked.

Jiang Qi is in a very bad mood at the moment, and if someone else asks, he will definitely scold him with his eyebrows raised and his eyes raised, and he will spread his anger on the other party who can't open his eyes.

But at this time, he glanced at Jiang Long, but he sighed lightly, did not hide it, and said it.

Only then did Jiang Long understand what had happened.

Chen Baihu used to be a personal soldier by Jiang Qi's side, because he was young and his subordinates were quite capable, and he was very appreciated by Jiang Qi, so Jiang Qi, who was nearly fifty years old at the time, wanted to let Chen Baihu start as a big soldier, and promote Chen Baihu while he could still reign for a few years.

The personal soldiers are equivalent to the private soldiers of the generals, and they are raised by the military at their own expense.

The imperial court will not issue a stipend.

And most of them have signed a deed of sale and are the domestic slaves of military generals.

There are no hard and fast rules on the number of pro-soldiers, and those from wealthy families naturally have many pro-soldiers.

And the generals who climbed up step by step from the big head soldiers had fewer personal soldiers.

If you want to give your life to yourself, you don't just have to hold the deed of sale, but you also have to settle down, equip them with weapons and armor, eat and drink well, which is a lot of money.

Therefore, ordinary generals can't raise a few pro-soldiers at all.

Chen Baihu was loyal to Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi's promotion of him naturally had great benefits.

After Jiang Qi abdicated, Chen Baihu could take care of Jiang Qi's descendants.

Jiang Qi is only a military general, and he does not have a title, and his descendants cannot be hereditary.

At the beginning, Chen Baihu did not disappoint Jiang Qi and made a lot of contributions, so Jiang Qi naturally promoted him from a big soldier to a hundred households.

After that, Chen Baihu made a lot of contributions one after another, and it was not far from being promoted to a thousand households.

But at this time, something happened to Chen Baihu's family.

Chen Baihu's parents died early, and it was his eldest brother and sister-in-law who raised him as an adult.

Later, the family was really difficult, so Chen Baihu sold himself and went to be a personal soldier for Jiang Qi.

A few years later, Chen Baihu's eldest brother died of illness.

Only the widowed sister-in-law and two little nephews were left in the family.

Speaking of which, his sister-in-law is really very beautiful, and when it comes to age, she is just thirty, and she must remarry.

Although Chen Baihu took care of his sister-in-law's family and gave all the money to his sister-in-law to support the family, the widowed woman had a very difficult life.

Later, there were elders in the family who proposed to let Chen Baihu, who had not yet married, remarry his sister-in-law.

In this way, the woman has something to rely on, and Chen Baihu can be regarded as having his own home.

The proposal was spoken, and neither of them objected.

Everyone in northern Xinjiang is accustomed to seeing life and death, so many things are more open.

Chen Baihu has been a personal soldier by Jiang Qi's side for many years, and has experienced countless battles, and almost died on the battlefield a few times.

Look more open.

People live for only a few decades, so what do they care so much about?

I feel that marrying my sister-in-law can not only protect my sister-in-law from being bullied by outsiders and gossip, but also allow my two nephews to have a father, which is a great thing.

But seeing that the wedding date is approaching, something big has happened.

Chen Baihu's sister-in-law went out into the city to buy things, but was taken by a gentleman in the city and wanted to snatch it home and take her as a concubine.

As a result, Chen Baihu's sister-in-law would rather die than obey and hanged herself.

The gentleman's son didn't know the identity of Chen Baihu's sister-in-law, if he knew that Chen Baihu had given Jiang Qi his own soldiers, then he naturally wouldn't dare to mess around.

I thought it was just ordinary people, so I didn't take it seriously.

As a result, the matter reached Chen Baihu's ears, and Chen Baihu directly went to the house alone.

Not only did he kill him, but he also hacked and injured many relatives and slaves in his family.

After killing someone, Chen Baihu did not flee, but was taken away by the county government officials and put in prison.

That family is also quite shili in Wangsha County, and several people serve in the imperial court, so if such a major event occurs, it is natural to take Chen Baihu's life.

Jiang Qi is the second-in-command of Wangsha County, and he did not dare to offend in vain.

But there were several dead and injured people in the family, and they just couldn't bear it.

Even if Jiang Qi spoke, that family had to cut off Chen Baihu's head.

After that, Jiang Qi wanted to move around in the government and fish out Chen Baihu.

But Pang Chengan suddenly intervened, and the officials in the government just didn't dare to make small moves.

Although Pang Chengan and Jiang Qi do not agree on weekdays, they always have to save face, and there is no special reason why Pang Chengan wants to intervene in it?

Jiang Long was puzzled and asked.

"It's not that the surnamed Pang wants to teach what benevolence, righteousness and shame are, which explains that the brother-in-law and sister-in-law are not allowed to get married......" Pang Chengan's rough voice became louder again, "It's damn!" How can there be so much attention in the northern frontier?

Isn't it normal for a brother-in-law to marry a sister-in-law and an uncle to marry a brother-in-law?

In a different race, a son can marry a wife as well! ”

In fact, there are practical reasons for this phenomenon.

One is that there are few people reading here.

Second, Northern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, where to find so many suitable marriage partners?

The third is poverty, it costs money to do happy events, to matchmakers, banquets, to build new houses, in short, to marry a daughter-in-law and go home so that the savings of more than ten years are gone.

When a brother-in-law marries a sister-in-law, he can do big things and small things.

Invite a few high-ranking relatives to come over, have a glass of wine, and tidy up the house a little, then the family affairs will be done.

Jiang Long can think of these reasons to some extent.

Knowing the reason for Pang Cheng'an's intervention, Jiang Long also frowned.

It's a bit tricky.

Chen Baihu wanted to marry his sister-in-law, which violated the policy implemented by Pang Chengan in Wangsha County, and that family must have gone through the door and handed the words to Pang Chengan.

Pang Chengan didn't know, but if he knew, he naturally wanted to get involved.

In the incident, Chen Baihu himself was unreasonable, because after the death case occurred, it had to be handed over to the yamen for handling.

personally killed the door, and the reason became unreasonable.

However, compared to Pang Cheng'an's intervention, the incident itself is not reasonable.

Or Weishenme everyone wants to be an official?

The superior, naturally, has an advantage with his own privileges.

Things are somewhere between right and wrong, and then the superior speaks and says that it is right, it is right, and if it is wrong, it is wrong.

Even if black and white are reversed, ordinary people can only do nothing in vain.

This is really a headache, and Jiang Long can't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

The group was about to arrive at the gate of the government office, when suddenly someone stopped in front again.

"Master Jing, this is a letter from your book."

The person who came was a soldier in the official post station, and someone had sent the letter to the post station before, asking him to help forward the letter to Jiang Long, and said that the matter was urgent, and the soldier knew that Jiang Long had to come to the government every day, so he waited here.

Jiang Long saw this soldier and nodded slightly.

Tudu dismounted and took the letter, and then handed it to Jiang Long.

He threw the soldier a small piece of silver and sent it away.

The soldier took the silver into his arms, thanked him loudly, and left happily.

Jiang Long slowly opened the envelope, spread out the letter, and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

This letter came at a better time!

The letter was sent by Delis, and the content written on it was that two officials had corrupted the law.

The incident is clear and the evidence is conclusive.

And these two people are Pang Chengan's cronies who were recently promoted.

"Master Jiang, Chen Baihu is saved." Jiang Long said as he handed the letter to Jiang Qi.

Although Jiang Qi is a big old man, he still recognizes some words.

Took the letter paper and swept it quickly, Jiang Qi was hahadaxiao.

"Let's go, let's go to the mansion!"

In an instant, Jiang Qi was confident.

Unloading his blade, Jiang Long, under the leadership of Jiang Qi, went straight to the place where Pang Cheng'an was dealing with political affairs.

met Dewey on the way, but Dewey did not dare to stop Jiang Long.

Who doesn't know that Jiang Qi is a temper tantrum?

As long as the grade is not as high as Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi is not happy, and he dares to whip you.

Such coarse people don't reason with you at all.

So Dewey just pretended not to see Jiang Long, and hurriedly walked to the direction of the gate of the mansion, wanting to hide out.

Jiang Qi wants to see Pang Chengan, even if Pang Chengan is of high rank, he can't see it.

However, Pang Chengan didn't expect Jiang Qi to bring a young official in.

As soon as the young official opened his mouth and reported to his home, Pang Chengan's face was instantly gloomy.

The above asked him to make trouble for Jiang Long and not let Jiang Long have the energy to do something, so he called Jiang Long to Wangsha City, intending to consume.

But I didn't think that Jiang Qi, the old bastard, actually brought Jiang Long over.

"You are the newly appointed Lingtong County Commander, Jing Jianglong?" Now that he has seen people, he naturally can't want to drag it out anymore, after Pang Chengan glared at Jiang Qi secretly, he said in an indifferent voice.

"Xia Guan is exactly." Jiang Long responded respectfully.

No matter what you think in your heart, the superficial work has to be done.

"It just so happened that the official wanted to summon you to meet, and you came by yourself." Pang Chengan's face is not for nothing, the thickness is some, let Jiang Qi and Jiang Long sit down, just open his mouth and say that he is going to get up, "Actually, I called you to Wangshacheng this time to talk to you about the county school, the triennial autumn festival is about to begin, but there are too few students in Lingtong County who are qualified to participate in the scientific examination......"

Those who are officials, those who can be officials, and those who can be officials are all able to speak and speak.

On the platform, you can open your mouth casually and make a speech, and you can count it in hours.

Pang Chengan is the same, but he just talks about a county school, but he chatters endlessly, and Jiang Long falls asleep.

But here, you have to endure not yawning, otherwise you will despise and disrespect Shangguan.

After talking for an hour and a half, Pang Chengan stopped after changing five teas.

Jiang Long hurriedly got up from the chair.

Pang Chengan said a few more words, and told Jiang Long to recruit two instructors for the county school and serve as an assistant to Pan Wenchang, and Jiang Long left.

After leaving the mansion, Jiang Long and the others returned to the post station, planning to return to Lingtong County early tomorrow morning.

The reason why Pang Chengan said it for so long was actually to make Jiang Qi angry, Jiang Qi was a big old man, with a straightforward and irritable temperament, and he couldn't listen to the constant grinding of readers on weekdays.

In order to repay Jiang Qi for bringing Jiang Long in.

Moreover, Pang Chengan also remembered Chen Baihu's affairs, and deliberately wanted to make Jiang Qi anxious.

However, today's Jiang Qi is surprisingly patient, as if he has incarnated as a master outside the world, and has been sitting quietly, drinking tea with his eyes half-closed.

On the contrary, Pang Chengan was a little unpredictable.
