Chapter 51: The Prison County
There is a two-storey restaurant on the street in front of the smoke building, at this time there are two people standing on the railing of the second floor of the restaurant, looking at the smoke building in front of them, both of them are people from the temple, one is Feng Gongming, the supervisor of Shanyin County, and the other is Gui Yifan, the county of Shaojiu County.
As a county order, Gui Yifan is young, he just turned thirty years old this year, just entered the year of establishment, this person was born and raised in Shanyin City, Shanyin City is the county seat of Shanyin County, his family was poor when he was a teenager, and he was sold into the family of a master of the rivers and lakes in Shanyin City as a small slave, and it happened that Jiang Chonglou was also a slave in this family at that time, and the two got acquainted.
Later, Jiang Chonglou got a martial arts opportunity, became Xuanwu, and brought Gui Yifan to live in Shaojiu County, with the funding of Jiang Chonglou, Gui Yifan had the opportunity to study, and finally passed the Jinshi examination through reading, and was assigned to Shaojiu County to do the county order, and Jiang Chonglou called him a brother.
Jiang Chonglou is indeed not good at making friends, and most of the friends he makes are unreliable friends, but Gui Yifan is indeed a reliable friend, and he usually helps Jiang Chonglou a lot, but this time the smoke lock building encountered a big disaster, Gui Yifan was more than willing and not enough, because this time there was a supervisor Feng Gongming.
According to Wu Hongxiong's suggestion, Gun Yizhai bought Feng Gongming, spent a lot of silver, and promised to give him a beautiful female slave every year after getting the cigarette lock building, not only because Feng Gongming was greedy for money and lustful, but also because he had a grudge against Jiang Chonglou, and he had asked Jiang Chonglou for a beautiful female slave and was refused. So this time, Feng Gongming went to Shaojiu County to deter Gui Yifan, so that Gui Yifan could not lead troops to help Yansuo Lou.
Each county of the Wuchu Dynasty had four official positions: county guard, county supervisor, county officer, and county lieutenant. Needless to say, the county guard is the head of a county. The county warden is equivalent to the deputy county guard, and is an official who assists the county warden in managing the county government, and when the county warden is absent or unable to serve as a director, the county warden acts as the county warden. A county lieutenant is an official who commands the officers and soldiers of a county, and they are all military generals. The most special thing is the prison county.
The so-called supervisor of the county is the person who supervises the officials of a county, which is directly appointed by the emperor, and the main job is to supervise the officials of a county, including the county guard, the county officer, the county lieutenant and even the county orders and county lieutenants of the subordinate counties, who have the right to report directly to the emperor and have the nature of a supervisor. With this position, the imperial court has a firmer grip over the counties, prevents the counties from becoming more special, and facilitates the monitoring of corruption in the counties.
In addition to supervising the officials of a county, the county supervisor also has another great right, that is, when the county guard issues an order in a county, the county guard must sign the name of the county to take effect.
The superintendent county has great power, but he cannot directly recall a county order, even if it is a county guard, he cannot directly recall a county order.
The appointment and dismissal of the county order is decided by the emperor, and the county order is only subject to the control of the county guard, and the county guard who wants to remove a county order needs to be impeached, and the official department will verify it and finally report it to the emperor for decision, however, most of the impeachment will be approved.
The success rate is related to the origin of the county order, if the county order is from the Jinshi, the county guard will not easily provoke the county order, the Jinshi is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the punishment of the Jinshi will be very cautious, but there are only a few hundred Jinshi every three years, and the number of Jinshi in the county order is not much, and there are more people, and it is easy for the county guard to impeach a county order.
Gui Yifan was born as a Jinshi, and the county guard of Shanyin County had to give him some face, so he was not afraid of Feng Gongming, but this time he did not dare to lead troops to aid Yansuolou in front of Feng Gongming.
Because of the prevalence of Xuanwu, the Wuchu Dynasty admired martial arts, according to the regulations, it was generally the rivers and lakes that mattered to the rivers and lakes, and the county-level government could send troops to participate in large-scale battles in critical situations, but it required the joint signature of the county guard, the county supervisor, and the county lieutenant, and the three people were jointly responsible for the accident.
Gui Yifan is now facing this situation, Jiang Chonglou has a great favor to him, he is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, this time he wants to lead the troops to help Yansuolou, but Feng Gongming, the prison county, is here, forming a deterrent to him, if he leads the troops to participate in large-scale battles in front of Feng Gongming, he will give Feng Gongming conclusive evidence of the crime, even if he is from a Jinshi, he will not be able to eat and walk around, at least take off the official hat, and at worst he will be beheaded.
Because of this, Gui Yifan, who was standing on the railing on the second floor of the restaurant at this time, had a somewhat ugly face, while Feng Gongming, who was standing on the side, was a little proud, seeing that the door of the smoke building in front of him had been opened, and the two major bandit leaders Si Diao and Liu Duan had already climbed the smoke tower to confront Jiang Chonglou, Feng Gongming deliberately joked: "Gui County Ling seems to be very depressed, and you are reluctant to let Jiang Chonglou, who is called a brother and brother, die tragically?"
Gui Yifan smiled coldly: "Although the imperial court has a life, and the rivers and lakes are in trouble, but this time it is a group of bandits and bandits who have done all kinds of evil in Shaojiu County, Feng Jian County came to stop me from attacking this group of bandits this time, so I am not afraid that I will join you as a protégé of the Son of Heaven?"
Feng Gongming also smiled coldly: "Bandits, no, they are not bandits, but a gun gang from Taihu County, and they are all from the rivers and lakes. ”
Gui Yifan's face was depressed, he had already investigated, the so-called gun village was the gun gang in Taihu County before, he even knew why the gun gang would be reduced to a cottage, if it was really a group of pure bandits, Gui Yifan could lead his troops to resist in the name of defending the county, but this group of bandits was still a gun gang not long ago, and they only came to attack the Jianghu gang of Yansuolou this time.
In this case, if Gui Yifan leads troops to aid without authorization, and Feng Gongming reports directly to the emperor, he will still be in danger, not to mention that the bandits who came this time have two Xuanwu leaders of the Expansion Yuan Realm, and if they lead the troops to help, they will definitely kill and injure many officers and soldiers, and it will be even more dangerous.
Although Gui Yifan is a brother and brother to Jiang Chonglou, although he knows how to repay his kindness, he doesn't want to lose his official hat or even let himself be beheaded for Jiang Chonglou, he used to be very bitter, so he cherishes today's glory and wealth even more, not to mention that he still has great ambitions to pursue in the officialdom.
All he can do now is to silently write down this hatred, and in time he will help Jiang Chonglou avenge this revenge, not only slaughtering those bandits, but also bringing down Feng Gongming, the supervisor of Shanyin County.
Seeing that Gui Yifan was silent, his face became even more ugly, and Feng Gongming was even more proud, he picked up a pot of good wine placed on the railing, looked at the smoke building while drinking, and recited a few lines of poetry sarcastically: "Life is sent for a lifetime, and it is like dust." Why don't you take a high step and ask for Lu Jin first. ”
Life is like living in a foreign land, and a short life is like dust that is rolled up in a strong wind, and it will be blown away by the wind in an instant. Why don't you find a way to be the first to climb the ladder and enjoy the glory and wealth first!
Gui Yifan knew the meaning of these poems, and he also knew that Feng Gongming was using these lines to ridicule those Jianghu people at this time, expressing his pride as a county supervisor, thinking that no matter how powerful those Jianghu people were, even if they were Xuanwu in the Expansion Yuan Realm, they couldn't compare with him.
Gui Yifan was still silent, just thinking silently in his heart: Feng Gongming, Feng Gongming, people are watching the sky, and I am also watching, you are so greedy for money and lustful, and you are seriously bending the law for personal gain, sooner or later you will create retribution!
Suddenly, Feng Gongming squirted out of his mouth with a mouthful of wine, and his eyes widened in astonishment: "Who are those two?"
Gui Yifan looked at the smoke building again, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: It's Nian'er who is back, I heard Brother Jiang Chonglou say that Nian'er's Tongmai has become a very rare thunder attribute unit vein Xuanwu, I thought he was bragging, but now it seems to be true!
