Chapter 382 - Taking office

Seeing this bloody whip, Lin Haoran naturally knew that all this was deliberately done by someone.

Leizhou City is located in a remote area, and culture and education are not thriving, so there are no unscrupulous court ministers, nor are there bullying imperial relatives, but there are bullies.

The bullies here are different from other places, because they are located on the border and face the sea on three sides, many bullies can escape after killing people, so they are more confident, and the most famous bully in Leizhou City is now called Jia Bao.

Jia Bao disappeared in Leizhou City for a while, but he didn't know what means, and he made a fortune all of a sudden. Now there are hundreds of people under his command, and he has many industries in Leizhou City, and he is the veritable number one bully in Leizhou City.

It is said that the previous evidence of Jia Bao's crime in Li County, Haikang County, wanted to get rid of this great harm for the people of Leizhou City. As a result, he was taken captive by Jia Bao outside the city, whipped alive to death, and then burned to death.

Tonight there was a fire in the stable of the inn, and a bloody whip appeared in the room, which was probably a dismount that the other party wanted to give him.

If he, the prefect, doesn't mess with Jia Bao, he will naturally be able to get along safely. But if you want to do something to Jia Bao, it may be Li Xiancheng's end, becoming a nameless charred corpse.

I have to say that there are evil people in the poor countryside, and this Jia Bao is probably really an outlaw. If he was not mistaken, this Jia Leopard must have been born as a pirate, and he was a vicious man.

"It's difficult to be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it's not easy to be an official in this remote place."

Lin Haoran sighed lightly, but he was not overly afraid, did not alarm anyone, and threw away the bloody whip very casually.

Although Jia Bao was forced to kill him and flee to the sea as a thief, he would not accept the threat of a local snake. He came to Leizhou City to make a political bet, if he still wants to return to Beijing as the prime minister, then he will make some political achievements in Leizhou City.

The next day, the news of Lin Haoran's arrival at the post station reached Leizhou City.

After getting the news, Tang Buyuan, the magistrate of Haikang County, and Dai Beihe, the magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture, came to the post station to meet the new prefect Lin Haoran and discuss the date of entering the city.

The officialdom of later generations is quite superstitious, not to mention the current officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. In ancient times, there was a cloud when he became an official: "The fourth day of the first year is ominous, the first seventy-six is the most sorrowful, and the nineteenth is even more suspicious of twenty-eight. ”

In the end, he asked Wu Daoxing for an auspicious day, and the two subordinates went back to the city to Zhang Luo.

Hu Niu is an idle master, and when she learned that it would take two days to enter the city, she immediately entered the city in the name of a pioneer with Ali, Wu Daoxing and a rice tank.

For this girl, Lin Haoran has already given up treatment. However, unlike in the capital, this Leizhou City belongs to him after all, and I believe that this girl will not poke out any big baskets.

The sixth day of the ninth month, an auspicious day.

This is the day when the prefect of Leizhou Prefecture and the Bo Si of Guangdong City promoted Lin Haoran to take office, and the sedan chair set off from the post station outside the city and headed towards Leizhou City.

Eight sedan chairs, holding a big golden umbrella, a flag guard of honor, the flag is playing "the son of heaven protégé", "six yuan and the first", "Da Ming Wenkui" and other words, a group of people blow and blow from the east gate of the city to enter.

The east of Leizhou City faces the sea, and the post station is located in the north, but the team goes around in a big circle and enters from the east gate, because this implies the implication of "purple gas comes from the east".

The east gate of the city is called Zhenyang Gate, which contains the meaning of suppressing the sea. Entering from the Zhenyang Gate, it is the East Street of the Town, and the Mansion is located in the West Street of the Town, located in the northwest direction of the city.

It's just that the sedan chair arrived at the crossroads, but it suddenly went north and entered Guangchao North Street. Because of the transcendent status of the City God Temple in this era, every official had to pay homage to the City God Temple before joining the company.

There are two city god temples in Leizhou City, one belongs to the Leizhou Mansion and the other belongs to the Haikang County Government.

The two temples were next to each other, and since the new prefect took office, the squares of the two temples were emptied of vendors and people. It's just that curious people inevitably came to watch from afar and watched the new prefect get down from the sedan chair.

Compared with the previous prefects, Lin Haoran's fame is too great, and it has also increased the number of onlookers several times. First, he was famous for his "Bamboo Gentleman" in western Guangdong, and then won six yuan in a row to become Wenkui, and now he has returned to his homeland as a prefect, and he is a legendary figure in their hearts.

The Fucheng God's Temple has hung up red lanterns, and the three animal sacrifices have been prepared on the table.

Lin Haoran was wearing a blue silk five-grade official uniform, embroidered with a white pheasant on his chest, a black gauze hat, and a silver sash around his waist, and worshipped in a regular manner.

After worshipping the god of the city god, he took a sedan chair back to the entrance of the town and headed towards the government office located in the west street of the town. Because the Ming Dynasty is respected in the north, and the north is the position of the emperor, the yamen in the world is either east or west.

"Lord Fuzun, the yamen has arrived!" Sun Jixiang outside reminded.

Lin Haoran felt that the sedan chair was bending, and couldn't help but open the sedan curtain and look out, and found that the sedan chair had indeed arrived outside the government square, and what caught his eye was the wall of the wall where the notice was posted.

The sedan chair bypassed the wall of the wall, and officially entered the government square, and the gate of the Leizhou Mansion was in front of him. Compared with the six yamen in the capital, it is undoubtedly extremely shabby, but compared with the Shicheng County Yamen, it is several times more magnificent.

Entering the gate of the government office, there is a large courtyard. On the left is the prison, on the right is the Yin Hotel, the former is to greet prisoners, the latter is to greet guests, which is regarded as two types of foreign guest houses.

After entering the second gate, there is the instrument gate in front, and the sedan chair must stop.

Lin Haoran's "induction ceremony" officially began, first kneeling and knocking three times to worship the door of the ceremony, after passing through the door of the ceremony, in front of the road is the roadblock stone - the ring stone pavilion.

A big stone erected in the fake pavilion, the front is engraved with the three big characters of "Gongshengming", and the back of the big stone is engraved with "Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people; The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive".

Gongsheng Ming, selected from "Xunzi * Bu Gou", "Gongsheng Ming, partial to dark", which means that justice can be clear about things. The officialdom of this era reveals the atmosphere of Confucianism everywhere.

After kneeling down to worship the "Gongsheng Akashi", Lin Haoran went around, and in front of him was the public hall, which was the most solemn area of the entire yamen.

Stepping into the platform, stepping on His Majesty, tidying up his appearance, standing on top of the public hall, and bowing to the throne of the emperor in the north. After the ceremony, pay respects to the official seal placed on the case, which can be regarded as an official appointment.

Although Beijing officials are afraid of being released to the outside world, in fact, there are also benefits to the release of officials, that is, from grandson to uncle. Like what he did in the cabinet before, he was running errands, but after he was released, he became the uncle of these five counties.
