Chapter 92: Wuzhong County
Hearing Chu Nian's words, the old man suddenly burst into tears, "Benefactor, you are our benefactor......"
Seeing that he was about to kneel down in front of Chu Nian as soon as his legs bent, Chu Nian hurriedly supported his arms, "My lord doesn't have to be like this, I am not worshiped by loyalty." β
When the old man's mood gradually calmed down, Chu Nian helped him sit down on the edge of the collapse, the old man seemed to be in poor health, so excited, his body trembled, Chu Nian was afraid that he would faint, so he carefully put a soft pillow on the side of the collapse, and then helped the old man to lean down here.
The old man took a sip of water, his breathing gradually calmed down, but he still held Chu Nian's hand tightly, "Dare to ask the benefactor's name?" β
Chu Nian smiled, "The little girl's name is Chu Nian, and she is the third mother of the Chu family in Beijing. β
Whether it is Su Nian or Chu Nian, it is just a skin, and under this skin, there will always be a burning soul of revenge.
The old man lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then his eyes widened, "You are the Wushuang County Lord!" The unequaled county lord who calmed the disaster in the southwest last time! β
Chu Nian shook her head helplessly, she didn't expect that her southwest matter had spread to the southeast.
The old man became more and more excited, "Heaven is endless, I'm saved!" Tingchuan is saved! β
Seeing that his body was about to tremble again, Chu Nian hurriedly stroked the old man's back, "Don't be excited, my lord, I'm just a woman, if you want to save Tingchuan, you have to rely on the people of Tingchuan." β
The old man looked at Chu Nian intently, and after a while, he got up and went out despite Chu Nian's obstruction, "What about Ah Yuan?" Where is Ah Yuan? β
The door of a small room not far away was opened, and a young man with clear eyebrows came out of it, a scholar dressed as a scholar, holding a book in his hand, too far away Chu Nian couldn't see what it was.
Seeing the old man and Chu Nian, the young man frowned and put down the book in his hand, and hurriedly walked over to support the old man's trembling body, "My lord, take care of yourself, what's wrong?" β
"Ah Yuan...... Come, let me introduce you, this is the unequaled county lord. The young man followed the old man's gaze to Chu Nian, and the two looked at each other and nodded politely.
I saw the young man come forward and bow respectfully, "I have seen the county lord, and the grass people have a single name and a distant character, surnamed Ye." β
Chu Nian nodded, and saw the old man take Chu Nian's hand, and said earnestly: "The old man knows that now that the court is decaying and the royal family is declining, the county lord wants to achieve a great cause, but the old man's life can no longer last The day when he saw the county lord achieve a great cause, Ah Yuan was a talent that could be created, and asked the county lord to ......."
Hearing this, Chu Nian knew that the old man had misunderstood what she meant, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "My lord misunderstood me, I just hope that Tingchuan can have his own troops, if the court can't support it, at least Tingchuan still has the power to protect himself." Chu Nian lowered his eyes, "For now, the little girl doesn't have that strength. β
Ye Yuan looked at Chu Nian thoughtfully, and the old man sighed helplessly, "Now that the court is mediocre, what should we do." β
Chu Nian shook his head and said: "The court is not completely mediocre, but now that the queen mother is in charge, in addition to the prime minister, other officials are also loyal ministers, I don't know if you know, who is behind the long history of Tingchuan?" β
Hearing this, the old man lowered his head and pondered: "There are many people here, let's go to the house and talk." β
The three of them walked towards the old man's hut together, and when the three of them sat down, Ye Yuan skillfully poured tea for himself, and then heard the old man say: "This Tingchuan Changshi took office after the murder of the prince's family, the former Tingchuan Changshi was an honest adult, after the prince was killed, he resigned from his official position and disappeared, before he left, he had told us these county orders that the current Tingchuan Changshi is behind the Wang family, if we really want to continue to live well, don't easily provoke him." β
Chu Nian frowned, if the Wang family was behind this Tingchuan long history, and Liu Qi went back to Beijing to report this matter, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear the long history of this Tingchuan, but now that the king of Huainan is in the capital, as long as Liu Qi does not mention this matter to Wang Zixuan in advance, the king of Huainan will not easily let go of this opportunity to remove the minions of the Wang family......
Thinking of this, she got up and said, "My lord, later, I will go and explain some things to someone." β
Saying that, she went out, leaving an old man and a young man to look at each other, this is why Ye Yuan dared to speak: "My lord, if you entrust Tingchuan to the county lord, is it a little abrupt?" β
The old man shook his head, looked at the door and said, "Now, apart from this county lord, do we have any other way to go?" β
Ye Yuan's face was stunned, and after a while, Chu Nian came back.
After taking his seat, Chu Niancai looked at the old man and said, "Now that the Wang family is in power, it is not difficult to suppress the current Tingchuan Changshi, but ...... The successor of the long history of the court must be someone we all trust. β
When Chu Nian's words fell, the old man turned his gaze and looked at Ye Yuan on the side thoughtfully, Ye Yuan frowned, and then listened to the old man's words: "I am afraid that I am not competent for this kind of body, but if I say that I care about the people and have great ambitions...... I don't know if the county lord can ......"
Before the words fell, Chu Nian already understood what the old man meant, the old man had served in Tingchuan for so many years, so he naturally understood the situation in Tingchuan, and this old man was a wise man, if it was the person he elected, he would definitely not be an idle person, not to mention, Ye Yuan didn't look like he had no talent.
"I wonder if Mr. Ye has experienced the imperial examination?"
Ye Yuan shook his head, "I only won the show, and if I went up, I didn't pass the exam." β
Seeing this, Chu Nian had no choice but to frown, thinking a lot in his heart, and after a while, he smiled, "It's easy to do, leave this matter to me, Mr. Ye just needs to pack up, and when the disaster is dealt with, he will prepare to return to Beijing with me, but ......"
She paused, and looked at the old man, "My lord knows Mr. Ye, but I don't know, I can't rest assured that all the people of Tingchuan will be handed over to a person I don't know, these days, I also ask Mr. Ye to follow me hard, if I think it is feasible, I will naturally find a way to recommend Mr. Ye to the court." β
The old man's dark eyes suddenly lit up because of Chu Nian's first half of the sentence, "Ah Yuan, thank you for not being able to thank the county lord." β
That Ye Yuan was originally also a person with great ambitions but no ambitions, and when he heard that Chu Nian was willing to fight for him a chance, he immediately showed gratitude, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The county lord is very kind, Xiaosheng has nothing to repay, the only sincere heart, if Xiaosheng really receives the favor of the county lord, it will definitely benefit the entire people of Tingchuan!" β
Chu Nian smiled, stretched out his hand to lift him up, "It's good for you to say this to the people, it's still too early to say it." β
After a while, Chu Nianrin said, "If you return to Beijing with me, you will have to face more than just Tingchuan's problems, do you understand?" β
Ye Yuan's eyes were slightly downcast, and he looked at Chu Nian fixedly, "Even if it is really as the adults said, the county lord is going to rebel against this cold day, Xiaosheng will definitely follow, as long as it is ......" Ye Yuan smiled with slightly squinted eyes, "As long as the county lord is really a person who can be trusted." β
Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, this kid is a grudge, this is because she doesn't believe him, so she treats him the way of others? Immediately, Chu Nian laughed: "Mr. Ye's personality is really likable. β
If others dare not fight back against the bullying, how can they bear the responsibility?
β¦β¦
When he came, it was Chu Nian and the four secret guards who came, and when he returned, it was Chu Nian, the three secret guards, and Ye Yuan, who was carried by the dark four and ran all the way.
When he arrived at the Changshi Mansion, Ye Yuan's face was pale, and he didn't need to ask carefully to know that literati and artists like him had not been subjected to such "welfare treatment", and his body couldn't stand the bumps when Dark Four performed light skills, so he naturally felt uncomfortable for a while.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was just white, Chu Nian arranged for Ye Yuan to change into the guard's clothes, and then found a room for him to rest for a while, Chu Nian didn't make any trouble to go out in the past few days, and Tingchuan Changshi Wang saw an extra guard next to Chu Nian, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he still greeted Chu Nian all day long, and was anxious to let Chu Nian leave.
After a few more days, someone finally came to the court, and Tingchuan Changshi notified Chu Nian, who was enjoying himself in the house, and took people to the border of Tingchuan to greet him, and Chu Nian was pulled to the carriage and went together.
In Qingyu County, on the border of Tingchuan, the person from the court is a father-in-law who has passed the decree, and the father-in-law is followed by Liu Qi, seeing this lineup, Tingchuan Changshi has an ominous premonition in his heart - the last time he heard about the seizure of the corrupt official in the southwest, it was just a message from the guards, and this time even the father-in-law in the palace came out...... Could it be that it is a big deal?
Also, this General Liu, didn't he leave for a while? Why did you come from the capital?
His wishful thinking questions were quickly answered, and he saw Chu Nian greeting Liu Qi with a smile, and then saw the father-in-law smile and said, "County Lord, take the order?" β
Chu Nian knelt on the ground for a long time, but at this time, his father-in-law said with disgust: "Tingchuan Changshi Zhao Qi, Wushuang County Lord Chu Nian, take the order-"
Zhao Qi knelt on the ground after realizing it, and listened to the father-in-law of the head of the court said slowly: "Tingchuan Changshi Zhao Qi, embezzled a thousand taels of disaster relief funds and a thousand taels of taxes, and after investigation is true, he is hereby dismissed from his official position, demoted to a commoner, and will never be allowed to enter the court as an official, Qin thisββ"
Zhao Qi looked stunned, his eyes were dizzy, and the edict behind him said that Chu Nian should suppress the Tingchuan disaster, naturally he didn't hear it, but Chu Nian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Qi, he had embezzled so much, and he concealed the disaster and didn't report it, and even bullied the people, but he was just dismissed from his official position, it seems that it was the handiwork of the Wang family, but it should have been a punishment of a few years, but it rose to the dismissal, it seems that the dark three brought the news to the king of Huainan in time.
However, it is difficult to say whether King Huainan will do what she arranged later......
After receiving the order, Liu Qi frowned and said: "This time you have to deal with the disaster alone, I need to go back to Beijing for some important things, can you still ......" Seeing Chu Nian's impatient face, he reacted and smiled: "I won't hold you back." β
Chu Nian nodded and said, "Yes, the little girl shouldn't shake General Liu's 'sincere heart'." β
Liu Qi's face was stunned, and after a while, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he turned to leave.
The next day, Chu Nian began to arrange for the withdrawal of the people sent by Tingchuan Changshi to Wuzhong County, and the people were released, when they heard that Tingchuan Changshi was dismissed, everyone rushed into Changshi's mansion and drove Zhao Qi's family out, Zhao Qi cried and begged Chu Nian to let him go before leaving, but Chu Nian kicked him out of the door.
Since the disaster of Tingchuan was handed over to Chu Nian to deal with, the name of the temporary history of Tingchuan naturally fell on Chu Nian's head, but the disaster was not over yet, and Chu Nian was really lacking in skills.
