Tan Lun has really been on fire these days. The officials and subordinates in the yamen are either all waste, or harboring evil intentions. The belongings and accounts in the yamen were not only chaotic, but also had some discrepancies. Tan Lun had just arrived, and it was not easy to deal with his subordinates on a large scale, so he had to endure his temperament and slowly tidy up. Everyone thought that this Shangguan was easy to bully, so he embezzled even more unscrupulously, making the yamen a mess. Because everyone was busy with corruption and had no time to manage local affairs, the rate of some fights and crimes increased by a large margin. Although Tan Lun is also the deputy envoy of Shanxi Bu, and Jia Baishun is also a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, he is still very different from Jia Baishun. First, Jia Baishun is an envoy, equivalent to the current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Director of the Public Security Department. The governor is now the ******** and governor; The political envoy is the first deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and concurrently serves as the executive vice governor. The deputy political envoy is equivalent to the current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and vice governor. However, Tan Lun, as an official, is still in the local direction, and concurrently serving as the deputy political envoy is just to mention Tan Lun's identity and status. So Jia Baishun is a provincial official, and Tan Lun is just a local official. Second, Jia Baishun was in charge of the security of a province, and he not only had power but also soldiers. Although Tan Lun is said to be the same prefect, but now Tan Lun's power is not listened to, and no one is willing to obey. Third, Jia Baishun is the cousin of Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, and everyone knows that after Jia Baishun comes here for a turn, he will go back to be a Beijing official, and his future is bright. Tan Lun was demoted, in fact, he was an unlucky person, and Tan Lun's backer Gao Gong also stepped down. Therefore, Tan Lun is a person that everyone is not optimistic about, so his subordinates dare to do this. One is an official with a brilliant future, and the other is a demoted official who has stolen the shelf, and the treatment is of course different. Jia Baishun not only saw Tan Lun as unlucky, but also used the power in his hands to deal with Tan Lun. Tan Lun received three reprimands from Jia Baishun in a row as an envoy, almost saying that Tan Lun was useless. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that whether it was ability or prestige, Tan Lun didn't know how many times better than Jia Baishun, and Jia Baishun couldn't be compared with Tan Lun at all. But now Tan Lun, who is useless, has the right to accuse Tan Lun who has the ability and no rights.

After Qin Tai learned about his friend Tan Lun's situation, he comforted his friend Tan Lun while helping Tan Lun check the case. If you compare who will be an official, ten Qin Tai together is not Tan Lun's material, but when it comes to solving the case, Tan Lun is really not Qin Tai's opponent. Tan Lun has always been a Beijing official, and has never been a real parent official, let alone handled local cases with his own hands. This kind of case is not a homicide case, nor is it a big case, so Tan Lun will not adapt to it for a while. Qin Tai is different, not only often taking on this kind of case, but also dealing with this kind of thing almost every day when he was in Fujian, Jianquan, and Zhou. While Qin Tai helped Tan Lun deal with these cases, he asked Tan Lun how to deal with this kind of thing. Although it was only one night, Qin Tai helped Tan Lun do a lot of things and taught Tan Lun. Tan Lun is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and even more worthy of being Emperor Longqing's most trusted subordinate. It's only been one night, and Tan Lun has learned how to be a local official. Qin Tai called his uncle Qiu Min in again and asked Qiu Min to tell Tan Lun some tricks of the grassroots yamen. The enemy has been in the county government for a long time, and he has seen too much and is used to these things. Tan Lun was taught by Qin Tai, a master of solving cases, and Qiu Min, the "old fritter" of Yamen, and immediately learned a set of Yamen's style of doing things and handling cases. Tan Lun was very grateful to Qin Tai, he was supposed to help and take care of a little person like Qin Tai, but now he asked Qin Tai to take care of and help Tan Lun in turn. Tan Lun secretly swore that as long as there was a chance to turn over, he would definitely repay Qin Tai, a good friend.

Leaving the territory under Tan Lun's jurisdiction, Qin Tai and his party gradually moved away from the west of the mountain. Along the way, Qin Tai was really worried, the ethnic minorities in the north were eyeing each other, and they had the possibility of going south to invade at any time. Due to the large amount of taxes, the local people often have mob riots. Some people can't support themselves by farming, and they can't save their families by doing business, so they have to take risks and fall into the grass. Some people seem to have figured out a truth, that is, they starve themselves to death honestly, and live a chic and happy life when they are idle. Therefore, everyone likes to cling to the powerful and make a living by oppressing the kind people. For this reason, these people often make trouble in the local area, forcing some honest people to resist. These people are not only gangsters, but also protected by powerful forces behind them, so they have become a major harm to the local area. In addition to these, one of the biggest headaches for local officials is the welcome and send-off between officials. Some magistrates, as long as they have experience as officials, know that a large proportion of the yamen's expenses are spent on banquets. Inviting officials to eat and drink, plus entertaining and giving gifts, and the exchange of courtesies between colleagues cost nearly half of the expenses of the yamen. If some officials are reluctant to spend this money, it will lead to their own affairs not going well, and the officials will target themselves in everything. The vast majority of officials are wise to do this wrong, but for the sake of their own future, for their own future, everyone does it. The yamen's expenditures were seriously exceeded, resulting in people up and down having to rely on taxes and corruption beyond the regulations of the imperial court. As a result, the common people became more and more dissatisfied with the yamen and officials, and the relationship became more and more tense. If this continues, sooner or later, the common people will rise up against the imperial court and the government, and even overthrow the dynasty.

Qin Tai and his entourage rented two carriages, Zhan Xiaoxiao held the child and the Qiu family's wife in a carriage, and it was Qin Tai's uncle Qiu Min who drove the car. Qin Tai and the old drunkard master sat in a carriage, and it was Qiu Xiaoqiu who drove the car. For everyone's safety, and in order not to let too many people pay attention to them, Qin Tai did not rent a coachman. The carriage of the carriage and the horse pulling the carriage are connected, just like the chain enterprises in the society now. These carriage and horse shops were for Jin merchants and merchants, and the carriages and horses had their own numbers and marks, and as long as there was a certificate from the Jin merchants, they could rent a carriage. Qin Tai rented a carriage in the name of Qin Baoguo, and every time he arrived at the next foothold, he could change the carriage or the horse that pulled the carriage, and he could also settle and return the carriage and horse on the spot. If a person fails to return the carriage and horse, he will not only be blacklisted by the carriage shop, but also damage the person's reputation. In this case, not only will this person not be accepted by any inn, but even a serious businessman will not do business with this person, and this person's life will be ruined. Fortunately, Qin Tai and the others often go out and will drive the carriage, and Qiu Xiaoqiu and Qiu Min's father and son will also immediately master the skills of driving the car. Soon after, Qiu Min's father and son officially accepted the task of driving the car, and the father and son each drove a carriage.

After all, the old drunkard master is old, and he can't compare to the past. In the carriage, the old drunkard fell asleep groggy. Qin Tai faced this senior, and he really had indescribable emotion. When I used to handle cases, the old drunkard master almost never left his hands, and drank like a puddle of mud every day. Over the years, the old drunkard master has not only been obviously lacking in spirit, but also has become less and less drunk. shows that the old drunkard master said that he didn't want to teach the bad boy Qiu Xiaoqiu, and he didn't want the little boy Qin Ping'an to smell a smell of wine, in fact, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that the old drunkard master was old and couldn't drink anymore. If the old drunkard really can't even drink alcohol, the life of the old drunkard will come to an end. In order not to disturb the old drunkard master, Qin Tai and his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu sat in the carriage to catch the carriage.

I don't know if it's Qiu Xiaoqiu's natural optimism, or the good feeling brought by him and Qin Tai's first trip south to solve the case, so after setting off again this time, Qiu Xiaoqiu is always very happy. If it weren't for the repeated reminders of his father Qiu Min and his mother Qiu Family, Qiu Xiaoqiu would really have been pestering his cousin Qin Tai. Except for Qiu Xiaoqiu, everyone saw Qin Tai's troubles, and everyone was worried that Qin Tai would get sick alone. Therefore, the lady of the Qiu family took care of her son Qiu Xiaoqiu repeatedly, don't let her cousin Qin Tai be too tired, and try to make Qin Tai happy.

Qiu Xiaoqiu was driving the carriage while humming some mountain songs to his cousin Qin Tai. Qin Tai didn't think it at first, but then gradually found that his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu's song was very good. Qin Tai served as a magistrate in Quanzhou and was with the local people almost every day, so he could not only understand but also speak some Hokkien dialect. Qin Tai listened and listened, and found that his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu was singing the famous "Ode to Mazu" in Fujian. Qin Tai not only knew about Mazu Niangniang, but also solved a strange case in the Mazu Niangniang Temple. Qiu Xiaoqiu's song couldn't help but remind Qin Tai of the Mazu Niangniang Temple and the story about Mazu.

On both sides of the Fujian Strait, everyone also worships Guanyin Bodhisattva and other gods, but more people worship the sea goddess Mazu Niangniang. Legend has it that Mazu Niangniang, formerly known as Lin Mo Niang, was the descendant of an ordinary fisherman on Meizhou Island. Lin Mo Niang was smart and witty since she was a child, but she didn't like to talk, so everyone thought she was a mute, and even her parents named her Lin Mo Niang. Only when the fishermen are in danger, Lin Mo Niang will cry or scream, but everyone doesn't know what Lin Mo Niang means. When Lin Moniang was seven years old, Lin Moniang's father went to sea with everyone, but when he encountered wind and waves, Lin's father disappeared. After Lin Mo Niang sensed that her father was killed at home, she put on a carpet and went out. A few days later, Lin Moniang returned to the shore, and the carpet changed back to an ordinary carpet. Lin Mo Niang not only came back by herself, but also rescued the unconscious father Lin. Everyone thinks that Lin Mo Niang is not simple, so they don't dare to underestimate Lin Mo Niang. Before going to sea, some people asked Lin Mo Niang if it was safe, and Lin Mo Niang's words were not many but absolutely correct. Lin Mo Niang's prediction is not only very accurate, but Lin Mo Niang will also go to sea to save people. After being saved, many people said that Lin Mo Niang was wearing a set of red clothes and sitting on a carpet to save everyone. Lin Mo Niang's name gradually became known far and wide, and everyone came to ask Lin Mo Niang to bless their family safety.
