Chapter 609: Self-inflicted humiliation
"Oh! Zhou Yushi, do you want to impeach me? Lin Haoran's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at the young official with a smile and asked.
"No!" Zhou Zilong hurriedly shook his head to deny it, he didn't dare to offend Lin Leigong, who had brought down his top boss, but found that Diao Laixi's eyes seemed to be about to eat him raw, and he immediately wanted to change his words.
It's just that he raised his head and found that Lin Haoran was already calm, and the words that he spit in his throat were swallowed back raw, and he couldn't speak anymore, and his body was still trembling.
Diao Laixi is so angry in his heart!
He usually eats and drinks with this Zhou Zilong, but he didn't expect that the chain fell off at the critical moment.
Lin Haoran looked at Diao Laixi's angry face, his mood seemed more happy, he took a sip of tea, and then said aloud lightly: "It's true that I am the prefect of Leizhou, but Diao Tongzhi seems to have forgotten, I am also the promotion of Guangdong City, why should I go to Guangzhou City?" ”
Yes?
Diao Laixi listened to Lin Haoran mention this, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he had just remembered that there was still this matter.
Guangdong City Bosi is located in the city of Guangzhou, although it has long been defeated, but the Yamen is still there after all. And Lin Haoran, as the director of Guangdong City, can naturally come back with a swagger.
It's just very strange, this kid seems to have forgotten about this errand before, and he has never been to the Yamen of Guangdong City since he took office. is also the same, so that he has long forgotten about this matter, and he didn't think that this kid still has this official position.
thought he could catch Lin Haoran's pigtails, but it turned out to be a joy and a void. That's not all, looking at those eyes full of ridicule, Diao Laixi was extremely angry, as if he had been slapped with a loud slap.
"Zhou Yushi, can I, the Bo Si of Guangdong City, come to Guangzhou City?" Lin Haoran's smiling gaze fell on Zhou Zilong again, and asked him again.
"Yes! While...... Of course! Zhou Zilong stammered in reply, and at the same time secretly glanced at Diao Laixi, but he didn't understand why this person would use this kind of thing to find Lin Haoran's stubble.
If the Guangdong City Envoy Department has not been relocated, Lin Haoran will be able to come back in a high-sounding manner, and no one can find fault with him at all. Diao Laixi's face turned even more red at the moment, he was simply humiliating himself this time.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, the identity of this Guangdong City Bo Si is more noble than that of the prefect of Leizhou.
The predecessor of the City Ship Division was the City Ship Envoy, which was generally served by eunuchs. Nowadays, it is subordinate to the Political Division, but its status is not to mention for the time being, and the oil and water in it are afraid that it is also the Salt Division that can stabilize it.
It's just that Diao Laixi doesn't understand why this kid suddenly ran back after he took office. But I don't know what this kid is trying to do, or if he is using this identity to come to Guangzhou City.
"Lin Futai, Diao Tongzhi, my lord is invited!"
But at this moment, a person who looked like a housekeeper walked into the flower hall and said respectfully.
Lin Haoran nodded lightly and followed. It's just that he noticed that Diao Laixi instantly became angry, and seemed to have more reliance, and he seemed familiar with the housekeeper, and chatted politely.
Wang Fanggui is the governor and governor of Liangguang, although the governor's office of Liangguang is in Wuzhou, but he still has the post of governor of Guangdong, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks when he stays in Guangzhou.
The two were taken by the housekeeper to a study, and there was sandalwood wafting in the room, but the smell was very elegant. It's just that I don't know if it's Wang Fang's personal preference, or if he can't afford to consume this kind of sandalwood, so he chooses to save it.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, Wang Fu stood in front of a huge map of Guangdong, staring at that place in eastern Guangdong, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the two of them came in from outside, Wang Fan happened to have his back to them, but Lin Haoran still saluted respectfully: "Lin Haoran, the prefect of Leizhou, Xiaguan, see the minister!" ”
Even though Lin Haoran was prepared, he couldn't help but sigh lightly when he heard Diao Laixi call himself "Student Diao Laixi". It turns out that this product follows Wang Fang is a teacher-student relationship, and there is this big backer behind him, no wonder even Guangdong Yushi has to sell him face, let alone take himself seriously.
Wang Fang turned around at this time, but his eyes first fell on Lin Haoran, not him, a student. His brows furrowed slightly, and he gently raised his hand towards the two of them and said, "You guys sit down for a while!" ”
"The teacher is worried about the traitor's chain?" Diao Laixi first glanced at Lin Haoran proudly, and then took the initiative to ask.
Lin Haoran watched him act like this, but he looked down on this person a little.
Not to mention, should I disturb Wang Fang's train of thought at this time. Now Wang Fu is standing in front of the map of eastern Guangdong, and there are signs on it, as long as he is not blind, he knows that Wang Fang is worried about Wang Lian's affairs, is this speculation worth being complacent?
At present, Guangdong is an eventful autumn, and last year's Japanese criminals in Chaozhou have just subsided, but the anti-thieves are ready to move.
Zhang Lian invited Lin Chaoxi from Meizhou, Guangdong, Xiao Wan from Dapo, Zhang Gongyou from Xiaojing, and Li Dongjin from Baitu, about 100,000 people.
It is worth mentioning that this disaster actually started in the silver mines, and the root cause was the greed and inaction of the imperial court.
During the Zhengde period, silver mines were found at the junction of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, and local heroes flocked to each other, each dominating one side, and seeking huge profits by taking advantage of the silver ore resources here.
Seeing that mining was lucrative, the imperial court began to increase mining taxes, and even directly sealed the mines. Not only are the miners unable to make a profit, but they are also unable to pay the miners' wages, so many miners are forced to rise up and roam around to rob innocent people.
However, it is located at the junction of three provinces, and the boundaries are unclear and the rights and responsibilities are unclear. As for the silver mines, the three provinces all want to take care of it, but for these rebels, the three provinces don't want to take care of it.
In addition, this area where there are silver mines has high mountains and dangerous roads, which is suitable for bandits to occupy the mountains as kings, but not suitable for the government to suppress bandits, and has gradually become a paradise for evil forces.
In the Jiajing period, the imperial court implemented a strict maritime ban system, which led to a great outbreak of the problem of Japanese plagues in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. On the contrary, this gave these rebels a chance to further gain momentum, forming a powerful force capable of attacking the city and plundering the wall.
Like the famous "Flower Waist Bee" before, it is fierce and tyrannical, and has done the most evil, with about thousands of people under his command, most of whom are exposed by miners as bandits, and their combat power is extremely powerful.
Now Zhang Lian is even more powerful, after becoming the new leader of the rebel army, and now he is promoted to the commander of the coalition army, and the number of troops has reached tens of thousands, posing a huge threat to the local government.
Now, Zhang Lian has become a big trouble for Wang Fang.
