Chapter VI: Deserving of the Name and the Law of Punishment (2)

In the morning, the rain had stopped. Ye Yongjia packed up his things and said goodbye to his fellow Chen. He naturally kept that reminder in his heart, but he would only avoid this fellow Chen. They are not on the same path, and if they are able to work together in the future, it will lead to fierce collisions and confrontations.

But for now, there is no need to worry about this, they have gone their separate ways.

The two soon arrived in Chenzhou. The local officials first arranged them to the pavilion, gave them official uniforms, and talked about the local government affairs, but there was no major incident, and the only thing was that a few months ago, the capital of Chenzhou, Huaining City, made trouble outside the city, and was defeated by Yuan Lun, the governor of Chenzhou, with a hundred people, and the leader was beheaded in the city. When asked about the relationship between Governor Yuan Lun and Governor Lu, these people were silent and had to divert from the conversation.

After a while, Ye Yongjia was going to visit the prefect, so he left Kou Zhong in the museum and went straight to the mansion.

"Lord Prefect." Ye Yongjia walked into the conference room, looked at Lu Deguang sitting under the grid window at the door, and shook heavily.

"The new judge?" Lu Deguang stood up with the handle of the chair and beckoned Li Yong beside him to pour tea.

Ye Yongjia approached, looked at Lu Deguang's face, and didn't know how to talk to the prefect who had ruined his family with a pleasant face, so he had to sit on the chair first and wait for the prefect Lu to speak.

Stiff silence. Governor Lu stood in front of him, but he also stayed for a long time without speaking.

Li Yong glanced behind them, put the tea on the table, and coughed.

"Ah...... That ......" or Lu Deguang broke the deadlock first," Ye Tong sentenced...... How is it at home? With that, he swallowed his own saliva and coughed awkwardly.

"It's all right at home." Ye Yongjia reached out and took the tea, his eyes looking left and right.

"That's good......" Lu Deguang said with a smile, but the flesh trembled on his face, and he smiled very reluctantly.

"The prefect will explain the official business, after all, it is in the beginning of the next ......"

"yes," Lu Deguang laughed again, "I forgot about ......."

"This general judgment is in charge of transportation, salt affairs, and litigation, and is handled by the deputy prefect; However, this place belongs to Henan, and it is not important to transport it, and the salt department only acts as a salt supervisor, and as soon as the ship transporting salt arrives, it can be interrogated and interrogated; Well, this lawsuit, but I'm carrying a heavier burden. If you are in the south, this errand is still hard, but in Chenzhou, Ye Tongju is to follow the way of learning a little bit of politics, which is still easy. ”

"Where subordinates are serving for the first time, they must ask the prefect to take care of them."

"Of course, I've read your papers...... Anything else? ”

Ye Yongjia gently put the bowl down, "The subordinate is fine." He stood up, "May I go?" ”

"Let's go...... Let's go. Lu Deguang nodded.

Ye Yongjia turned around and walked out of the conference room and walked towards the lobby.

"Looks like he has a grudge against you, too." Li Yong poured tea for Lu Deguang and said.

"Now when he is winning people's hearts, he is just using him to deal with Yuan Lun; After that, he was destined not to be kept. Lu De looked up at Li Yongdao.

With the passage of time, Ye Yongjia and him have seen each other for a long time, and naturally there is no such estrangement that is exposed, but it is not written off, but hidden deep in the heart. More than three months have passed, and Ye Yongjia has also gone to the Governor's Office several times, and he also has a different opinion on Yuan Lun. His word Weizong, originally from Liu Zhennian to pacify Guangxi, after Lu Deguang was released to Chenzhou, the imperial court sent him as the governor, which was about the eyeliner planted by Liu Zhennian. But in addition, Yuan Weizong also has his own ambitions, and it is not enough to hold military power, but also covets Lu Deguang's political power. Despite its ambitions, it is also a bit ambitious.

Unconsciously arrived at the busy agricultural period, because the reported grain production was very insufficient, Lu Deguang immediately proposed: "In ancient times, officials were all farmers to persuade farmers, but now they have lost their traditions, it is a pity, I write a persuasion to farmers, how about you and I go to the fields?" All the officials said yes, and Lu Deguang asked for a pen and paper in the court. After writing, he first sent a few officials from the yali to inform the people, prepared good wine by himself, and took Ye Yongjia and others to the township to persuade farmers.

All the peasants gathered in the fields, and when they saw the prefect coming, they all cheered. Lu Deguang smiled, took the persuasion text, jumped into the field, and preached loudly to the people. Ye Yongjia listened to the text he wrote, which was not only not a dictionary, but also popular and audible, and all the peasants understood it very well.

Lu Deguang took off his official robe and walked in the pit of the canal, but whenever he saw that one family cultivated more land, he called Ye Yongjia to carry a pot of wine and give it to others. After sending all the wine, he resumed the situation of the river canal with all the officials, and if there was a need for dredging, he ordered the construction to begin, and if there was still a need for a waterwheel, he ordered that the money be allocated to the household, and the man should be asked to set it up.

Ye Yongjia looked at his full smile, which was very different from the humble smile when he first saw him, and there was always a trace of righteousness. But he is such a speculative villain who accepts dirty money and falls into the well. This may be in Ye Yongjia's heart, but it is just a slight recurrence of conscience.

Lu Deguang climbed up from the field, Ye Yongjia helped him and handed him an official robe. Lu Deguang was about to put it on, when he suddenly saw a few people running desperately from the fields, panting, and the farmers were looking at each other, not knowing what they were afraid of.

"Your Excellency!" The man wept a little, fell to his knees, and crawled forward two steps. "We don't dare to say it on weekdays, but when we see the adults coming in person today, we must ask for justice!"

Lu Deguang looked at the people and immediately squatted calmly in front of them, listening to what he was about to say.

"Uncle Wang, the man of that house, every time he came to collect grain, he used an alias to offer to us; If he can't afford it, he will take a few soldiers from the yamen and step on the ground, who dares to offend him? The villagers were afraid of the protection of the officials and did not dare to file a complaint; But you're a good adult! I believe that if Governor Lu really understands this matter, he will severely punish that unconscious official! His eyes were wide as if they were about to burst open, and he immediately kowtowed three or five times, looking at him longingly.

"Bold!" Lu Deguang stood up suddenly, startling the man, and the perseverance in his eyes suddenly turned into doubt and fear.

Ye Yongjia looked at him steadily.

"Go back to the Yamen," Lu Deguang turned around and said, "This mansion wants to try Wang Boyi!" He flicked his arm and walked briskly in anger.

This is the first time Ye Yongjia has seen the ascension hall. I never saw it when I was a child. The yamen was full of people, and although they may have seen it more than once, they still looked at the arrangement of the yamen with novelty: two teams of soldiers holding water and fire sticks, lined up on both sides, standing like iron, without squinting; To the east sat the note-taking staff, and above it was the prefect, dressed in a bright red and shiny official robe, and beside him sat a crowd of people, including a general judge.

Wang Boyi was escorted up by the soldiers and knelt in the hall. The prefect picked up a piece of paper filled with ink and motioned for the official to hand it over.

"This is what those people said, do you admit it?" Lu Deguang asked.

"Lord Prefect, there is no reason for this!" Wang Boyi threw the paper aside, kowtowed and said.

"Your words don't count. I calculated the cost of your last month's report, which is about one tael of silver; But I just asked the house, and said that after you finished collecting grain, you bought a stove in the house, which is about twenty taels of silver. You don't have more than three taels a month, and no matter how much money you save, you can't spend it on this kind of thing, right? This coincides with the day of the grain requisition, which is probably not a coincidence. ”

Uncle Wang was taken aback, and Governor Lu continued: "I'm afraid that you saw that people were panicking these days, so you hurriedly spent it, isn't that reasonable?" ”

He was speechless for a while, didn't know how to argue, and just kowtowed in a panic.

"Remove him first! Another day. Lu Deguang waved his hand, got up and shouted:

"Quit!"
