In other words, Xu Xun came to Leizhou City that day.

Xu Ji arrived at the Chaotian Gate of Leizhou City but did not enter, and ordered the honor guards to be put out left and right, waiting here for the officials in the city to come out to greet him. The cards of the Gui Chou and the first and the patrol of the imperial history lit up, which immediately attracted the attention of the people who entered and exited the city gate.

When the reader recognizes the contents of this pair of cards, he knows that this is a great patrolman.

The onlookers were immediately terrified, and the patrol press appeared in the play, knowing that this was a great official, and they could find this lord to be the master if they had a great grievance.

Influenced by the drama, many people have a natural favorability towards the patrol, and even call the Lord Qingtian. Local officials are careless about human life, who will administer justice? It is often the inspectors who inspect the place to uphold justice and rehabilitate the people.

In particular, the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty was served by poor children, which caused many people to think that this kind of official would be more in charge of the people, and maintained a higher respect for the governor.

Xu Ji sat in an ordinary sedan chair, enjoying the kneeling of the people around him, which is also the reason why he likes to inspect places, so that he does have a majestic spirit of inspecting places for the Son of Heaven.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that some cases could be the master, but some cases could not.

For example, when he went to Huazhou to inspect, someone complained that the governor of Huazhou was tyrannical after all, but he couldn't really intervene in this matter, and the governor of Huazhou had a lot of filial piety to him after all.

The sedan curtain had been lifted high, so that he could really see the situation outside, and even more so the city gate.

It's just that those local officials haven't rushed out to kneel down to greet them, but they see a group of ragged refugees crying and shouting.

One of them, a well-dressed middle-aged fat man, caught his attention, as if he was quite resentful, and shouted loudly, "Lord Qingtian, please be the master of the small people!" He was still holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Xu Ji's eyes immediately flashed with joy, this time he used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, in order to take that person away, and then take over this place smoothly. If you can collect evidence of Lin Haoran's crime, it will naturally be the best.

In his opinion, the reason why Lin Haoran was able to win such a big reputation in a short period of time was mainly because of the result of his use of tyranny. Lin Haoran must have forced the local people to dare to be angry and dare not speak, forcing everyone to sing praises for him Lin someone.

Now, the scene in front of us is proof of this. Lin Haoran left Leizhou City at this time, and as soon as his patrol arrived, someone came to shout injustice, which shows that his guess is correct.

As long as he can find evidence in this regard, it will be enough to cause Lin Hao to die.

"Stop! The patrol is here, who dares to be presumptuous! Two sturdy retinues immediately stepped forward to stop them, and shouted angrily at the refugees who wanted to rush forward.

"Hugh is rude! This official is appointed by the imperial court to patrol the place, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, to redress the grievances of the people, how can he treat the people who have filed grievances! Xu Ji stepped forward with his hands and reprimanded his entourage with justice.

The two entourages were stunned, but they still confessed to the old man who suddenly changed his temperament, but saw Xu Ji gently say to the fat rich man holding the paper: "What grievances do you have, come and talk carefully!" ”

"The villain wants to tell the lord of the house ......!"

The outsider was about to speak, but the others pushed him violently, and a group of people shouted to redress their grievances. Xu Ji was touched like a fragrant dumpling, and the whole person was almost overthrown to the ground because of his unstable footing, but fortunately, he was pulled by someone again.

"Are you going to rebel?" A guard with a knife shouted and pulled the knife out, which stabilized the situation.

Xu Ji's eyes were also displeased, and he was very disgusted with these people who didn't know the number of etiquette, and in order to collect evidence of Lin Haoran's crimes, he kindly asked why the rich man wanted to sue the Lin prefect.

It's just that the rich man obviously lived up to his expectations, and he didn't want to deduct Lin Haoran's big hat, but only accused Lin Haoran of "unfairness in judging the case".

It turned out that the rich man's surname was Tie Ming, and he was a well-known miser in the local area. When his father died, he wanted to drive his brother's family out of the house, but he didn't plan to give him a penny.

However, his sister-in-law made trouble with the small yamen, and finally sued the government again. Lin Haoran sentenced the two to separate their families, and immediately divided the property equally, and also slapped 30 boards.

It's just that Tie Mi was extremely dissatisfied with the equal division of property, and he had already planned to go to Guangzhou City to complain according to the judge's yamen, but now he heard that the inspection of the imperial history was coming, and he was instigated to come over to complain.

Tie stingy burst into tears, crying as if he had been greatly wronged: "Lord Qingtian! That hanging hair is just a concubine, why should he compete with me for family wealth, this is a big injustice! ”

"Get rid of him!"

After Xu Ji heard the reason, his face immediately sank, and people drove this miserly rich man away.

Although this person's brother is a concubine, he is undoubtedly the eldest brother, how can he drive his brother's family away just after his father died. As for Lin Haoran's judgment, there is nothing too faulty, after all, there is no issue of principle involved.

If he dares to make a fuss about this matter, it is not clear whether Lin Haoran will be blamed, and he, the inspector of the imperial history, will inevitably be criticized, which seems to be making a big fuss, and even offending those officials who are concubines.

The man was blown away, but he saw a group of officials hurrying towards the city gate.

"Xiaguan Leizhou sentenced Dai Beihe to see Lord Patrol!"

……

Due to the absence of the prefect Lin Haoran, Dai Beihe, who was sentenced by the Leizhou Governor, came out with two officials from the yamen to greet him. In front of the inspector of the score, although they had some complaints, they still saluted respectfully.

Dai Beihe, who is the head of the six grades, is a level higher than Xu Ji, but the patrol of the imperial history belongs to the supervision agency of officials, and Xu Ji has the right to directly supervise the officials in Guangdong.

In the same way, when each other's ownership is clear, the rank is no longer important, and the officials, including Dai Beihe, who was sentenced by the Leizhou Mansion, directly bowed.

"Get up!"

Xu Ji said lightly, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and planned to make some fuss about the recent arrest of rice merchants by the government and county government, and planned to play a trick.

Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly heard the servant exclaim: "My lord, our official seal is gone!" ”

As soon as these words fell, the officials present couldn't help but raise their heads in astonishment. This official seal has a lot to do with it, especially for such an official position as a patrol, and it is very likely that some bad people will use it to deceive them.

As if he remembered something, Xu Ji suddenly gave an order in a fit of rage: "Those refugees just now ...... No, Diao Min, where did those Diao people go? Hurry up and give the order to get back the official seal for this patrol! ”

Refugee? Diao Min?

Dai Beihe and other officials listened to these words, but they looked around, except for the honest kneeling people, it seemed empty everywhere, how could there be those people Xu Ji said.

Xu Ji saw that none of these officials took action, and he was immediately even more anxious, and immediately blamed angrily: "Didn't you hear what this patrol said?" ”

A few officials were about to take action, but they heard Liu Jiaoyu from Haikang County muttering in a low voice: "I don't know if you can remember the case of Liu Sanyi of the fake county magistrate last year?" ”

Naturally, everyone will not forget this case, and it can be said that it is still fresh in their memories. The fake magistrate Liu San actually concealed it for a full year, and also killed Li Xiancheng, thanks to Lin Futai's arrival to expose this person and bring him to justice.

Now, a patrol officer who has never met before appeared, and said that the official seal had been lost, which made many officials present suspicious. In particular, this patrol imperial history is the first time to Leizhou City, and none of the officials present have ever seen it.

"This official thinks that he should be careful, who knows if he is a thief shouting to catch a thief, he should verify it!" Zhang Tongju, the oldest qualified person in Leizhou Mansion, said in a low voice.

Everyone's eyes fell on Dai Beihe, Dai Beihe nodded slightly, and then arched his hand to Xu Ji's angry gaze: "My lord, do you have an official background?" ”

Xu Ji was in a fit of anger, his face immediately fell, and he grinded his teeth angrily at Dai Beihe and said, "Dai Tongju, are you questioning the identity of this patrol?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" Dai Beihe hurriedly confessed, but his attitude was still firmly explained: "It's just that Leizhou is located in a remote area, and we and other officials have never seen the patrol press, so I want to verify one or two!" ”

"Bastard thing!" Xu Ji immediately scolded, he was usually in the place, which official was not respectful, and now this small general judge dared to question his identity face to face.

"Your Excellency, please also show the official seal or official documents, otherwise...... Hugh blames the official for being offended! Dai Beihe was not afraid, but seriously bowed softly and hardly.

The officials behind him were not afraid of Xu Ji, who was pale, calmly met his angry gaze, and resolutely stood on the side of Dai Beihe.

Xu Ji stretched out his finger and pointed at them, then turned to his henchman and said, "Turn out the official documents for me!" ”

The henchman ran back and pulled out a thousand taels of gold from the large box he was carrying. In the strange eyes of everyone, he continued to flip down again, and happily picked up a small box.

Hum!

Xu Ji took the small box, snorted coldly at the officials present, and was about to open the box, but the whole person was suddenly stunned. But I saw that the box was empty, and there was no trace of official documents at all.

Dai Beihe also saw this scene, his face immediately turned cold, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Someone! Put this person in custody for the time being, and make a decision when Lord Fuzun returns! ”

"You ...... Dare! Xu Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and immediately scolded.

"Take it!"

Dai Beihe snorted coldly, and he didn't have the slightest fear.

Xu Ji's entourage wanted to resist, so they immediately drew their swords and guns, but the officers and soldiers of Leizhouwei's Guancheng had already arrived, and immediately surrounded them and ordered them to lay down their weapons.

Facing Lei Zhouwei, who was like a wolf and a tiger, they exchanged glances, and finally wisely chose to be captured.

"It's a conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy! ”

As if he had figured out something, Xu Ji suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

Before coming to western Guangdong, many people said that Lin Lei Gong could not be provoked, and that he was the real emperor of western Guangdong. But he didn't think so, and always thought that the other party was exaggerating.

It's just that today, it is not that he designed Lin Haoran, but that he walked into Lin Haoran's trap.

"Is the identity of this inspector really fake?"

"I don't know, did you see that box of gold?"

"It's true or fake, this is not a good official after all, it's enough for us to have Lin Leigong!"

……

The onlookers watched the majestic Xu Ji being escorted away, but they didn't have too much sympathy, but faintly gloated, and they didn't care about this so-called inspection.

Poor Xu Xun originally planned to start a bloody storm in this Leizhou City, but before he set foot in this Leizhou City, he had already been thrown into the government prison.

Nanshan Temple, an ancient temple located in a scenic mountain.

Jiang Yuan sat in the hall of a living room in the backyard, listening to the news from all over the country, and was quite satisfied with the rice price market in various places, and everything was under his control.

Although the price of rice in Leizhou Mansion did not fluctuate and was still suppressed by Lin Haoran, everything was actually within his expectations.

This seems to be Lin Haoran's decisive move, which has kept his good reputation as Lin Leigong, but in fact he is extremely ignorant. If he suppresses the price of rice and does not allow rice merchants to make profits, then the rice grain from other places will not flow into Leizhou City, and then there will be no money to buy rice, which will cause a real disaster.

If when the rice in Leizhou runs out, he will not send the rice over, or only send a little rice to the past to make huge profits, which will inevitably make a group of people starve to death.

At that time, the board of the imperial court will inevitably hit this ignorant boy, let alone ripping off his official body, I'm afraid it is not unimaginable to cut off his head.

"Haha...... That's a great trick! I asked people to release the news that my rice was almost sold out, but the people in the city really bought rice on a large scale, and almost all of my rice was sold out! ”

Zheng Menfu got the latest sales of his own rice, and immediately laughed at everyone.

The situation of the others is similar, they have all received good news, their faces seem to be fluttering, and they are congratulating each other.

Jiang Yuanwai found that everyone's eyes gradually fell on him, so he smiled mildly and said, "You can rest assured!" As long as your rice is almost sold, my Siamese rice will be delivered to you, and you will never run out of rice to sell! ”

"Thank you so much!"

"This time we are not in the Jiang Yuan, maybe we will definitely miss the opportunity!"

"Isn't it? I said a long time ago, following Brother Jiang will definitely make a fortune! ”

……

More than a dozen squires were in a good mood and immediately complimented them. 、

After all, according to the current situation in the rice market, this disaster has affected the autumn harvest. As long as there is rice in hand, there is no fear of selling rice at a good price until May next year, and Jiang Yuanwai is equivalent to giving them a lot of silver.

Jiang Yuan was sipping hot tea, very satisfied with the current situation, and was about to give a speech.

The housekeeper suddenly pushed the door away in a panic, and said to Jiang Yuanwai in a hurry: "Old ...... Sir, big ...... Big things are wrong! ”

Seeing this, the festive atmosphere was diluted a little, and everyone looked at the butler in puzzlement.

"What are you doing in a hurry, what are you talking about slowly!" Jiang Yuanwai put down the tea cup that had just been brought to his mouth, and said with an unhappy face.

The housekeeper swallowed his spit, let his breath calm down, and then pointed outside and said worriedly: "A lot of guards suddenly appeared outside, and our temple is surrounded!" ”

"Huh...... Who is so bold? Commander Song and I are friends of the boys, is he impatient? Zheng Menfu didn't have the slightest fear, but said angrily.

All the squires knew that Zheng Menfu had a very good relationship with the commander of Lianzhou Guard, and when they heard that there were some guards outside, their hearts were also relaxed. Whether it is a civilian official or a military general, this has always been the first level of the official to crush people.

The housekeeper swallowed and spat again, and said in a low voice: "It's Lin Leigong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the squires were immediately shocked and puzzled.

It is true that Lin Haoran is powerful, but he is the prefect of Leizhou, and he can't control the boundary of Huazhou at all. It's just that the facts are in front of you, that Lin Lei Gong really came, and surrounded them.
