Chapter 98: The Wind Rises
Governor Zhang was detained with his doglegs, and even if his forces in Luliang had the heart to rescue them, there was nowhere to ask for help, after all, the forces scattered in the nearby cities were all given a nest by General Yang.
General Yang ordered someone to seal Luliang City, and no news from here could be transmitted back to the capital.
Jiang Fu also found the corpse of the guard he sent to the capital to deliver the message at Zhang's house, he was discarded in the firewood room at will, and his body was covered with various scars, which shows that he was tortured before his death.
These dowry guards are all the deadpools of the Jiang family, and even if they are tortured to death, they will not betray Jiang Fu for half a sentence.
Jiang Fu looked at the inhuman-shaped corpse, gritted her teeth, and went to the prison with a whip without saying a word, she broke everyone away, and everyone only knew that she was covered in blood when she came out.
And Zhang Heng in prison was beaten by her to only half his life, and he lost a leg.
According to the jailer on duty that day, he had never seen such a cruel torture method in his life, and when he saw Zhang Heng, he thought that the person was already dead, but Mrs. Chen did not hurt his heart at all, and he was tortured to death, and his life was not endangered.
Just kidding, Jiang Fu's method of torture was heard and seen by Jiang Guangyao's side since she was a child, that is, the Lang official of the Criminal Department had to call her ancestor when he saw her.
"Why do you bathe early in the morning? I'm not afraid of catching a cold. ”
Chen Jian'an went to discuss with General Yang in the early morning, and did not come back until it was time for breakfast, and when he came back, he saw Jiang Fu sitting at the dining table, and my fair lady stood behind her with a cloth towel to pay her hair.
Jiang Fu didn't expect him to come back so early, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then chuckled at him:
"The ceremony can't be wasted, isn't it about to be Laba, today was originally to prepare for bathing and changing clothes for sacrificial purposes.
Speaking of which, how did you discuss it, the county lord came to ask me yesterday when they would be able to return to Lin Yang. ”
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, other officials don't dare to go back without knowing the inside story, but the county knows that when it comes to the New Year, they always want to go home.
Chen saw that An had just come in from outside, so he didn't approach her, but went to the stove to roast the fire by himself, and replied:
"Soon, General Yang has sent people to search the homes of various officials, and I believe that they will soon be able to collect all the evidence of their crimes and send them to the capital.
At that time, His Majesty will definitely send someone to escort Governor Zhang's entourage back to Beijing, I think······· I may be transferred back to the capital at that time. ”
Jiang Fu nodded, not surprised.
"Then leave the matter of Luliang's side to General Yang, the barbarians have withdrawn their troops, and before the newly appointed prefect arrives, someone must deal with the affairs of this province.
The water here in Lingnan is too deep, in addition to the Zhang family and the Yang family, there are many other people staring here, so let's not interfere without interfering.
It is better to go back to Lin Yang City after Laba, if the officials leave for too long, the people will inevitably be panicked. ”
Chen Jian'an has no opinion on this, rather than letting Lu Liang fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions again, it is better to hand it over directly to the Yang family.
Luliang, as the grain and grass fortress of Lin Yangguan, can only ensure the welfare of the soldiers to the greatest extent in the hands of the Yang family.
Chen Jian'an proposed to General Yang the next day that he would take his people back to Lin Yang City, and General Yang was very surprised when he heard this.
Although he knew that Chen Jian'an was a rare good official, Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, not to mention a fortress like Luliang, the benefits that could be sought were even more unimaginable.
Now that Governor Zhang is not here, he can rely on his wisdom and strategy to successfully promote to the top of this fat child, but he just patted his ass and left?
Until General Yang sent him out of the city gate, he was in a trance.
Gu Qingshan, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh;
"This son has a ravine in his heart, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future, and he will not be confined to a place like Lingnan."
General Yang nodded, agreeing with this.
After Chen Jian'an returned to Lin Yang, he began to recall the people back to settle down, and he was busy approaching the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
This is the first Spring Festival that the two of them have spent alone, and Jiang Fu has given a lot of monthly money to the people in the mansion to reward them for their hard work during this time.
In order to get rid of bad luck, and in order to make more money for the people who do small business, the county government has been purchasing a lot of things these days.
I bought four or five hundred papier-mâché red lanterns alone and hung them in all corners of the yard, one by one beaming with joy.
Jiang Fu buys things with a lot of money and does not bargain for the price, and the common people are happy that every household is pasting lanterns at home, and those who can sell it to her are sold to her, and those who can't be sold are simply hung outside the gate by themselves, and they are happy.
On the morning of the 30th, Chen Jian'an sorted out all the work and materials in Lin Yang City, bought a bag of chestnut cakes and kicked them in his arms when passing by the market, and went home.
"Miss my father, he hasn't written to me for a long time, you said that I have been away for so long, does he not love me anymore?"
Jiang Fu is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that his father will not be able to control it when he is old, and he will be hooked away by a goblin while he is away.
If he has a dog outside and has another son, won't he really be unfavored?
Although he knew that his father was not the kind of person who would be confused by beauty, the distance would always make people feel uneasy, and Jiang Fu leaned on Chen Jian'an's arms a little lowly.
Chen Jian'an looked at her depressed expression, and felt a little dissatisfied with her father-in-law.
How much effort does it take to write a letter? Why is he so stingy, causing his daughter who left home to worry about her stomach.
Jiang Guangyao, who was far away in the capital, sneezed, and inexplicably increased his hatred value by 10 points.
Today, Concubine Yu gave birth, on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor thought that this was a heavenly auspicious rui and was very happy, obviously they had already suspended the dynasty, and forced all the ministers to wait in the palace.
This battle made Concubine Zhang Guifei's face blacken, and made all the ministers wait for the concubine to give birth to a child, does the emperor plan to make this child the crown prince when he is born?
Jiang Fu didn't know about the ups and downs in the capital.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when relatives gave gifts, Chen Jian'an and Jiang Fu didn't have any relatives here, so they thought that there would be nothing to do after sending away some colleagues who came to visit the door.
Unexpectedly, after lunch, people came to visit one after another with their pickles and snacks.
It's not appropriate to say it's a visit, they put down their things and leave a word, without even a name.
"The grass people have come to greet the adults and their wives, and I wish them good health and a long life."
"If you have to give gifts according to the rules for the New Year, don't dislike it, I wish you and your wife a good and early birth to a noble son for a hundred years."
"My family is a showman, this is a fan painted by him, I wish you a bright future step by step."
"This silk flower is for Mrs. to wear and play, I wish Mrs. everything goes well, and people are more delicate than flowers."
While each person left a thing, he also left a word of advice, Jiang Fu looked at the things piled up like a hill and couldn't cry or laugh, but there was a trace of warmth in his heart that he had never experienced.
