There was a stone tablet outside the county prison, but I saw that it read, "Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive", and Hu Daniu, who was still defending himself in the public court, had already crashed to death in front of the stone tablet.

Hu Daniu is an authentic farmer, his face is deeper than loess, his hands are full of calluses, his hair is gray, but his eyes are closed forever.

Wang Yue saw Hu Daniu who died under the stone pillar, and saw this honest farmer who was complacent with his fast work, and the tears that he had been holding back finally gushed out.

Obviously, everyone is in a peaceful period, but such a simple person died like this and died with a stomach full of grievances.

This is not the way of the world he pursues, nor is it the way of the world that he leads the soldiers in the north to protect, and the world of China should not be like this.

Li Guangming came over with Xiao Zhixian, but he saw Wang Yue crying bitterly for a grass people, and he was even more contemptuous of this person who had betrayed the civilian clique.

"Dead ...... He's dead? This...... How can this be? Xiao Zhixian saw that Hu Daniu really died under the stone tablet, and muttered in a panic.

Li Guangming seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing, and said lightly to Xiao Zhixian: "Your case is judged based on the facts, this Diao people are ashamed and indignant, and they don't want to lose Su to atone for their crimes, so they commit suicide, what does it have to do with you?" Our new Huguang Zhentai has a relationship with the old man, you truthfully play the judge, and the old man will keep you safe! ”

"Right...... That's right, the lower official reported it truthfully! Xiao Zhixian came back to his senses and immediately nodded quickly.

The sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was about to rain.

Wang Yue knelt beside Hu Daniu's corpse, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "Truthful? What kind of truth is this, have your hearts been eaten by dogs? ”

Those people who were watching may have all been kept in the dark, but how could these two people not know what was going on, and even the perjury of the salt shop and the teahouse shopkeeper was Li Guangming's doing.

Now that Hu Daniu was forced to die by hitting a stone, these two people didn't blame themselves at all, and they quickly formulated a plan to shirk responsibility here.

"There are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation, I don't know what to say! Xiao Zhixian, I hit a bad luck today, your banquet has been withdrawn, and the two of us will get together another day! Li Guangming found that Wang Yue deserved to be excluded by the civilian clique, so he immediately left the road.

Xiao Zhixian originally wanted to send Li Guangming, but when he saw that the body was still here and needed to be disposed of, he flattered him and said, "Lord Li, please go slowly!" ”

It's better if there are no non-commissioned officers in a county, but if there are retired officials who can eat well in the officialdom, they can really only be people with their tails between their legs.

Li Guangming strode out of the gate of the county government, there was already a sedan chair waiting in front of the door, and frowned at the two young people who hurriedly approached.

The housekeeper greeted him and reported a piece of good news at the same time: "Master, Mr. Cao Gongzi from the east of the city lost all his money in the gambling house last night, and he just expressed his willingness to sell us the family's 100 acres of land!" ”

"You don't need to tell the old man about these things, so that others don't have to mistake him for thinking that the old man loves to merge land!" Li Guangming glanced at the butler and admonished with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, the old servant lost his words!" The housekeeper stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, and then admitted his mistake again and again.

Li Guangming was about to get into the sedan chair and return to the house, when he suddenly heard a movement on the south side of the street, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and he saw billowing soot.

A group of people rode horses, and pedestrians avoided them one after another.

Although people from the surrounding areas flocked to the city because of the low price of salt sold in Jingshan County, it was unlikely that such a big battle would occur.

Li Guangming didn't think that Xiao Zhixian could attract any nobles, so he had more expectations in his heart, and when he saw an official wearing a three-grade official uniform, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

Sigh!

The leading Sanpin official noticed Li Guangming standing in front of the sedan chair, and when he got closer, he tightened the reins, and the two front hooves were raised gently.

"Lord Zhentai, if you don't repair the book first, if you learn that you have come to Jingshan to inspect, the lower officials will let people sprinkle water for ten miles to greet you!" Li Guangming saw that the person who came was the new envoy Yang Jizong, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Yang Jizong was also relieved to see Li Guangming, and said very happily: "Brother Guangheng, you are in Jingshan City today, you can be at ease as a brother!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Guangming was originally puzzled by Yang Jizong's sudden visit, but now he was even more confused.

Yang Jizong knew that Li Guangming was good at greeting, and now he was in Li Guangming's territory, as if he had seen through everything, and said: "The prince is here, and you have been hospitable, but I don't know if you can settle down at home?" ”

"You're looking for Wang Yue?" Li Guangming's eyes widened.

Yang Jizong was also stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Otherwise?" ”

Every official has a different story, and Yang Jizong's story is equally exciting.

Yang Jizong was born in Yangcheng, Shanxi, but the Yang family at this time was not one of the four major clans in Yangcheng, but just an ordinary small clan that got rid of farming because of selling salt.

In the first year of Tianshun, he was an official and honest during his tenure as the prefect of Jiaxing Mansion, and later became famous for two things.

The first is that Yushi Kongru suddenly broke into the back house of Jiaxing Mansion and opened Yang Jizong's box and basket to inspect, but there were only a few old clothes inside.

The second is that Yang Jicha entered Beijing to take up his post, and Emperor Chenghua asked Wang Zhi: "Who among the pilgrimage officials is incorruptible?" Wang Zhi replied: "There is only one person in the world who doesn't love money, only Yang Jizong."

It was Wang Zhi's words that Yang Jizong got the title of "the first Qing official in the Ming Dynasty during the Chenghua period", and resolutely became an important member of Qingliu.

Jiaxing prefect nine years of term, Yang Jizong was exceptionally promoted to Zhejiang according to the envoy, after the governor of Shuntian during the spearhead pointed directly at the eunuchs many ills, but also asked Emperor Chenghua to recall the eunuchs out of the town, so Emperor Chenghua was demoted to Yunnan deputy envoy.

Zhu Youzhu succeeded to the throne, and Yang Jizong was promoted by the Ministry of Officials, and was promoted back to Huguang from remote Yunnan, and now he is the Huguang Inspector of Zhengsanpin.

"The prince is in the county office!" Li Guangming learned that this promising official did not come to Jingshan to catch up with him, so he pointed to the gate of the county government in disappointment.

Yang Jizong turned over and dismounted, threw the horsewhip to the attaché behind him, and walked into the Jingshan County Ya in high spirits.

Hey?

Li Guangming was about to follow in, but when he saw Yang Jizong followed by a group of brocade guards wearing betta suits, he couldn't help but look at this group of people in confusion.

"The lower officials have lost their welcome, and please punish Lord Zhentai!" When Xiao Zhixian learned that Yang Jizong was coming, he hurriedly greeted him and knelt down.

"Prince, it's so hard for this official to find you!" Yang Jizong saw Wang Yue over there, and greeted him warmly.

Originally, he had gone to the rock of Jiewu Mountain to look for Wang Yue, and when he learned that Wang Yue had come to Jingshan County, he immediately brought Jinyiwei who came down from the capital, and now he finally saw Wang Yue himself.

Wang Yu and Hu Jun had already returned from their errands, Wang Yu handed Wang Yue a paperweight like a copper tiger button, while Hu Jun knelt on the ground and hugged his grandfather and cried bitterly.

Wang Yue took the paperweight, and the sadness in his heart was even worse, but when he saw Yang Jizong wearing a three-grade official uniform appear here, he couldn't help but look at this first Qing official of the Ming Dynasty in confusion.

"Prince, this is the exoneration document issued by the imperial court a few days ago, because this official has just arrived and almost missed your important matter, please forgive me!" Yang Jizong took out the official letter of exemption and handed it to Wang Yue, and solemnly apologized.

Yes? Exoneration?

Li Guangming's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that Wang Yue had resolutely been exonerated by the imperial court.

Now that the imperial court has exonerated Wang Yue, not only does Wang Yue no longer need to live in Anlu, but it is also possible that he will be reappointed by the imperial court.

Of course, this is actually only a theoretical possibility, but Wang Yue has long been excluded from the civil bureaucracy, and today Zi is a good king who is good at accepting advice.

"Lord Wang, listen to the order!" Lu Song, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, stepped forward and raised the Holy Decree in his hand.

Yang Jizong did not know the content of this holy decree. This time, it was said that it was to send Wang Yue a document to remove the crime, but in fact, it was to guide the way for this group of Jinyi guards who came down from the capital, and at the same time wanted to know how Wang Yue would be appointed by the imperial court.

"The sinner king respectfully invites St. Ann!" Wang Yue faintly guessed that he was going to be reused, so he knelt on the ground and said.

Lu Song replied, and then unfolded the holy decree and said, "Holy bow!" Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: When I was in the East Palace, I listened to the first emperor say: The more in Datong, the more in Datong, the more in Yansui, the more in Ningxia, Ningxia...... Today, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court was awarded, and the special Governor and the two Huai patrolling the salt imperial history and the transport officials experienced the various fields to check and clean up...... Give the king the flag, except for the three pins of the play, the rest will be asked like the law, Qin this! ”

The left deputy of the Imperial Palace? Prime Minister Salt Politics?

Not to mention Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian, even Huguang Judge Yang Jizong's eyes widened, he never thought that Wang Yue would be entrusted with such an important task by the new monarch.

Not to mention that the left deputy of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a genuine official of the third grade, and the rectification of the salt administration is related to the second largest tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yue is even more prominent than before he was demoted.

"The minister and the king are thanks!" Wang Yue had a dream earlier that he would be revived by the new monarch, and he didn't want it to really become a reality, so he received the decree with tears in his eyes.

Originally, his desire for political power became weaker and weaker, but after all this experience, he realized that the most terrible enemy of China may not be in the north, but in this official gentry class who eat people and do not spit out bones.

"Lord Wang, congratulations on your ascension!" Yang Jizong was originally very satisfied with his promotion back to Huguang as an envoy, but when he saw Wang Yue returning to the court in one step, he also congratulated with jealousy.

Xiao Zhixian found that Wang Yue was looking at him, and his face was immediately full of sneers.

I only hate myself for being blind this time, and I don't even know how to talk to this person who lives in the house.

If you can hug this thick thigh, no matter how bad it is, you can get a fellow governor and prefect, instead of staying up until retirement in Jingshan, a place where birds don't.

"Come on!"

As soon as these words came out, even the scrivener who had a spirit hurriedly handed over the pen he had with him.

Wang Yue has now received the emperor's favor and has become the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and he is no longer powerless to deal with the injustice in this world, let alone justice and cannot be served.

At this moment, his qi and blood surged, and the spirit in his chest was like a gushing spring, and he came to the white wall next to him with a pen, and immediately wrote a poem.

"Poems for Hu Da Niu"

I have lived in Guying for more than two years, and I am sad and helpless in the past.

It is the joy of the autumn harvest, and I don't know that the salt government has become a tiger.

The poor family wants salt, and the land of a hundred miles is idle.

Today, the emperor's grace suddenly arrived, and the old man held the knife and then the young.

……

Poetry, throwing a pen, ascending to the church.
