Chapter 160: Dismissal and Imprisonment
Just as Chen Jiayu, the princess of Prince Alcohol, said to Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying, and then Princess Alcohol met Lin Shuran alone, and between her words, she hoped that she could say a few more good words in front of Xu Junze, and at the flower and silk banquet, Lin Shuran sat in the place closest to the main seat.
Not only the prince and princess, but also the ladies and relatives of other provinces who participated in the flower and silk banquet were also mostly flattering and flattering Lin Shuran, who didn't know that the emperor's new decree was to fill the treasury, and none of them wanted to be wronged.
Lin Shuran also learned from the conversation with them that the new head of the household department had already excitedly told everyone that the Si Nong Division had already obtained a good way to increase grain production, and that in the spring and autumn harvest next year, one mu of land might be able to produce thousands of catties of grain.
But I didn't expect that the people who heard the news just laughed, mocking this new Shangshu whimsical, for thousands of years, not to mention the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, even the yield of 500 catties per mu is extremely rare, the emperor must have deliberately spread false news for the new decree, the purpose is nothing more than to make everyone willing to pay the property tax.
Yes, no one believed that the Jin Dynasty would have a grain yield of 1,000 catties per mu, and more people regarded it as an "conspiracy" of the emperor, whose purpose was just to coax the ignorant people and the nobles who were unwilling to pay taxes.
Sitting in the carriage on the return trip after the flower silk banquet, Lin Shuran had a wry smile and helplessness, she spent three years to improve the quality of local grain seeds in the Jin Dynasty, and really grew high-yield grain, but except for those who had seen it with their own eyes, everyone else didn't believe it.
Maybe the yield of 1,000 catties per mu is too outrageous for people in this time and space, so they can't believe it, or maybe, as time goes by, they will always see with their own eyes that this is not a lie at all.
With a "clang", the carriage suddenly stopped as if it had knocked something down, and Lin Shuran in the carriage leaned forward suddenly, but fortunately, Lingqin and Feiyue quickly protected her.
"What's going on?" Lingqin said coldly.
The groom, who was driving the carriage, immediately replied with sincere fear: "Madam, a beggar has struck me, as if—as if the man had not moved!" ”
"Lingqin, go down and have a look!" Lin Shuran instructed Lingqin, and by the way, she opened the curtain of the car, and happened to see a person with messy hair and dirty body lying next to her carriage, but the person was lying on the cold and hard bluestone road with his chest on the ground, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
Lingqin jumped out of the carriage, turned the man over with a raised hand, then squatted down and put his finger on the man's nose to test it, and then looked up at Lin Shuran at the window and said, "Madam, this person is still angry." ”
At this time, Lin Shuran also saw the person's appearance clearly, and his eyes were shocked, isn't this the new county magistrate Fei Hengfei of Shichuan County? I haven't seen him for a while, how did he become like this?!
It just so happened that there was a medical hall nearby, Lin Shuran asked Lingqin to send Fei Heng to the medical center first, and she followed, after all, Fei Heng was knocked down by her carriage.
Fortunately, after the diagnosis and treatment of the doctor in the medical hall, Fei Heng was fine, but his body was too weak and weak, so he drank some decoction and went back to recuperate.
After a while, Fei Heng also woke up slowly, he looked around a little blankly, and it wasn't until Lin Shuran called "Lord Fei" lightly that he fixed his eyes on Lin Shuran.
seemed to be shaking his head for a moment, and Fei Heng saw that the woman who was talking to him was Lin Shuran, the young daughter of General Xu's wife who had been seen in Sujiazhuang in the southern suburbs.
"Mrs. Xu, where is this?" Fei Heng propped himself up and barely sat up.
"Master Fei, this is the medical hall, how are you-" Lin Shuran looked at him and stopped talking, not knowing what had happened to him.
Fei Heng smiled sadly, and said with a lost expression: "Mrs. Xu, don't call me like this again, where is there any Lord Fei, now I am just a commoner." ”
Lin Shuran's face was full of surprise, Fei Heng could be regarded as a great contribution to Su Sanqiang's case at the beginning, even if he would not be promoted to a few levels, he would not fall to such a point, could it be that he made any mistakes during this time?
Seeing the doubts in Lin Shuran's eyes, Fei Heng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Mrs. Xu doesn't need to be so shocked, I have been dismissed, I was just released from prison, I offended the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and now I can still leave a life, which can be regarded as my Fei Heng's blessing!" ”
Lin Shuran could hear the resentment and dissatisfaction in Fei Heng's words, he was originally just a seven-rank magistrate, and he actually disregarded his future and life to oppose the Su family and the Marquis of Dingyuan, he admired him very much, and the people in the southern suburbs also admired this "Lord Fei" very much.
With the ability of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to think of dealing with a seven-grade petty official, it is simply easy, Fei Heng offended the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion because of the overthrow of the Su family, so he ended up in the point of being dismissed and imprisoned, which is really uneasy.
"Your body is still very weak, I'll let someone send you home first!" Fei Heng is a good official praised by the people, and Lin Shuran is also very sympathetic to his plight, thinking about helping him more.
Fei Heng shook his head again and said: "Thank you Mrs. Xu for your kindness, I was originally in Beijing alone, and now where is there any home, the four seas return, the four seas, just go, where to bury it!" ”
Lin Shuran didn't expect this blow to make Fei Heng so disheartened, wouldn't it be a pity if the people lost such a good official, after thinking about it, she said to Fei Heng: "Even so, your current physical condition is not suitable for moving around more, so let's do it, there is a shop of the Xu family on this street, you go to the backyard of the shop to rest for a few days, and then decide where to go." At the beginning, thanks to you, Lord Fei, you were able to bring a wicked person like Su Sanqiang to justice and eliminate harm for the people, please don't shirk. ”
In the face of Lin Shuran's kindness, Fei Heng was very grateful, he studied poetry and books for several years to gain fame, and vowed to be a good official for the country and the people, he went from a local seven-grade official to a seven-grade official in the capital, although he was not promoted, but he did a lot of things for the people, which is enough in his opinion, not an official can do practical things for the people, even if the official is small, he can also share worries for the monarch and avenge the people.
It's a pity that he has nowhere to throw his blood, and people like Wei Qianjie, Marquis of Dingyuan, who use power for personal gain and cause chaos in the dynasty, can run rampant and domineering in the Jin Dynasty, which is really a disaster for the Jin Dynasty and the people.
In the end, Fei Heng was persuaded by Lin Shuran to go to the backyard of the Xu family's pharmacy to live temporarily, and then Lin Shuran told Jin Liu to take good care of him, so he got into the carriage and went back to the General's Mansion.
It is rare for Xu Junze to go back to the house today, he doesn't seem to have much rest outside, and he went back to the room after dinner.
Lin Shuran thought that he had gone to bed to rest first, but when she came to the inner room, she found him sitting on a chair in his middle coat, as if he was waiting for her to come back.
