Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dragon and Tiger Guard
This is the old house of the Governor of the Governor's family, and it is in the same alley as the new house where the Governor lives now. The mayor's father was a showman during his lifetime, and the old mansion was elegantly decorated, but whenever a distinguished guest came, the chief would entertain here.
A few days ago, there was a big accident in Liujiawan, several children were lost, and some people saw bandits with knives at night. After the banquet, the drunken county Cheng touched his goatee and whispered to the chief: "Next year is the year of Lord Zhang's general examination, and there must be no accidents in the locality, and at the moment this case, it must be a big thing and a small matter, and it will affect Lord Zhang's evaluation, and we will not be good, right?" “
The official assessment of Daqi is divided into inspection and examination. The inspection is once every six years, and the examination is completed in the third, sixth and ninth years of the officer's tenure, and next year is the ninth year of the county magistrate Zhang Bo as an official, called the year of the general examination.
Although the towns of Shangqiao and Xiaqiao are separated by a strip of water, they belong to two counties. Shangqiao Town belongs to Qiaohe County, while Xiaqiao Town belongs to Linjiang County. The Shilipu in Qiaohe County has just had a tragedy, and it is said that the magistrate of the county has not been able to cover it, and it has been transmitted to the state capital.
In the past two years, Zhang Bo, the magistrate of Linjiang, has been cautious, for fear that the chaos in the place under his jurisdiction will affect his future, so as soon as the matter of Liujiawan was reported to the Yamen, he immediately paid attention to it and sent the county magistrate from all sides to suppress the matter.
Li Chang understood in his heart, and applied both soft and hard, while appeasing the people, he was alarmist: "Mrs. Qian lost her child, burned the house and went crazy, but as a result, the bandits were in a hurry, and even she was arrested." ”
Within a few days, the news that the bandits destroyed the door of the outer house of the ten-mile shop reached Liujiawan, and even the people who lost their children did not dare to make trouble.
For this reason, Zhang Bo, the magistrate of the county, also asked people to make a special trip to praise the governor for "good deeds in the township".
Although the lieutenant felt ashamed, he had nothing to do, so he could only hope that those bandits would show mercy and the children would stay alive.
There was nothing wrong for a few days, but the day before yesterday, someone found the lieutenant.
The person who came was named Mo Kang, and he held the letter of Long Huwei to investigate the affairs of the Qian family.
When the lieutenant heard the words Long Huwei, he was immediately stunned. He never thought that the small Liujiawan would attract the attention of Long Huwei.
When Taizu ascended the throne, the remnants of the previous dynasty supported an infant child and established a small court in the south, called the Later Jin.
Xiao Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo, sent Zou Zhen and Jiang Diqing, among the five tiger generals, to lead his troops south, and a year later, the Later Jin Dynasty collapsed, but the whereabouts of the little emperor are unknown.
Xiao Yuan asked for the establishment of the Dragon Tiger Guard, the Great Qi was first built, the people's hearts were unstable, and there were small groups of gangsters in the local area from time to time, and the duty of the Dragon Tiger Guard was not only to track down the whereabouts of the little emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, but also to rectify the place.
Flying Fish Guard and Dragon Tiger Guard are one north and one south, Flying Fish Guard focuses on prison and intelligence, and as we all know, Dragon Tiger Guard's background is the army. The Dragon and Tiger Guard was founded by Xiao Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo, and the first commander was Zou Zhen, one of the five tiger generals.
For the people in the south, they have more or less heard of Long Huwei, so when the lieutenant learned that the person who came was Long Huwei, he was really frightened.
The affairs of Longhuwei, not to mention the county government, even the state government and the government government can't manage it, and they don't dare to take care of it.
Mo dared to inquire about the Qian family, so he stayed here for two days. Just when the chief estimated that Mo dared to leave, he ushered in this brocade man early this morning.
This person's surname is Jiang, and the lieutenant didn't dare to ask in detail, looking at Mo Dare's respectful attitude, he knew that this must be a big man in Longhuwei.
The lieutenant only hopes that these people will not find anything now, and leave Liujiawan as soon as possible, so as not to make a big deal and the county magistrate will not be able to explain it.
Now, he was sitting a little cramped across from Master Jiang, repeating what he had said to that person the day before yesterday.
"The Qian family moved here eight years ago. In the past, there was a famous old lady in Liujiawan, and there were countless people who came to seek medical advice. Mrs. Qian came to seek medical treatment, alas, Mrs. Qian is a poor person, she and Xianggong accompanied Mrs. Qian to seek medical treatment, but the boat encountered wind and waves on the road, and the Xianggong of the Qian family went to help the boatman, and one was accidentally hit into the river by the waves, and finally rescued, and the person was no longer good. Poor Mrs. Qian is pregnant, her husband is dead, and there is a seriously ill father-in-law. It's a pity that they came unfortunately, and finally came to Liujiawan, but the old doctor Xiang traveled one step ahead of them. ”
The chief took a sip of water cautiously and continued: "Mrs. Qian was filial piety at that time, and she was pregnant, and the white-haired person of Mrs. Qian sent the black-haired person, and she became more sick than sick. At that time, I heard that the old doctor was not there, and Mrs. Qian fainted on the spot. After the old man heard about it, he suggested that they live here first, firstly, the old lady Qian and Mrs. Qian are not suitable for a long trip, and secondly, the old doctor may come back one day. ”
They rented a house and settled down here, and soon Mrs. Qian gave birth to a daughter, perhaps because she was happy to see her granddaughter, and Mrs. Qian's health gradually improved. It just so happened that one of my relatives was going to sell the house, and the old lady Qian bought it, which was the one that burned down. Doctor Xiang never came back, and later heard that he died outside, and the news spread to Liujiawan, and Mrs. Qian's thoughts were gone, and she couldn't afford to get sick, that is, in the third year they came to Liujiawan, Mrs. Qian passed away. ”
"Mrs. Qian is knowledgeable, since then the door does not go out of the door, concentrate on raising her daughter at home, although the old man is the elder, but when the old lady Qian passed away, I saw Mrs. Qian once, and when I saw her again, it was after her daughter was lost, she was crazy, alas, no one could stand it, the husband died, the father-in-law also passed away, and the daughter who was finally raised was also lost, she was a woman, how could she hold it."
The brocade-clothed man sitting opposite only then asked, "I heard that Mrs. Qian was captured by bandits?" ”
The chief secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and what the magistrate was most worried about was this matter.
He hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, a person saw it, that is, Mrs. Liu's son-in-law, his daughter Xiaocui was also lost, he was upset, he couldn't sleep at night, he wanted to go out to buy wine and drink, as soon as he went out, he saw someone on the street with a bright sword, scared him half to death, quickly closed the door, and didn't look carefully, and then even he couldn't tell if he was dreaming or really seeing it, that person is usually greedy for cups, eight or nine times out of ten is to drink too much dazzling, this peaceful and prosperous world, how can there be bandits." ”
