Chapter 107: The Great Purge
King Ning, the prince of Ning, the eunuch Liu Ji, and a group of palace guards were escorted back to the mansion by Sun Sui's personal soldiers.
Xu Sui snorted coldly again: "Come on, take down the prefect Lu Kang." ”
Lu Kang shuddered for a moment, the whole person was stunned, he thought that those lead mountain bandits were dead, as the so-called death has no proof, the matter of the thief and the thief will definitely not be implicated in himself, in the end, Sun Sui can only catch a few small fish and shrimp to get angry, but he didn't expect Sun Sui to directly order to take down himself.
At this time, the two pro-soldiers had already pounced on Lu Kang like wolves, and their hands were stretched behind their backs.
Lu Kang was both shocked and angry, and protested: "Lord Governor, this official is not a thief, why should he take this official?" ”
Sun Sui Zhenzhen said eloquently: "This official received a report that the prefect Lu Kangzhong was full of private pockets and used his power for personal gain, and there were officials in Shangrao County who secretly collaborated with thieves and thieves, and the prefect Lu Kang was accompanied by dereliction of duty, so he was temporarily removed from his post and detained, and when the case was clarified, he immediately stripped off his official robe and put him into custody pending trial!" ”
Lu Kang's whole body shrank, as if he was a few years older in an instant. The officials and gentry around all knew that Lu Kang was finished, as the so-called three-year Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, how many butts are clean?
Fill your pocket? I don't have any advantage from being an official. Abuse of power for personal gain? Who has the power not to benefit the people around him?
is the so-called official level crushing people to death, saying that you can do it, or if you can't do it; Say you can't do it, you can't do it. What's more, Lu Kang's butt is indeed not clean, and he has not received less silver over the years, and if he searches at home, tens of thousands of taels of silver are still easy, if you add valuables such as antique calligraphy and paintings, 100,000 snowflakes of silver are only a lot more.
If it was in the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, greedy for a few taels of silver was enough to kill the head, and one unlucky guy was even ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to peel the skin and grass, and for a period of time after that, the bureaucrats of the whole country were walking on thin ice, and no one dared to be greedy for ink.
Lu Kang thought that when those bandits died, he could sit back and relax, but he knew that Sun Sui was going to clean the officialdom of Shangrao County, how could he keep him, the prefect, to hinder Liu Qingyuan's investigation of the case?
Therefore, Sun Sui had already set a strategy when he had a secret conversation with Liu Qingyuan in Xujia Village that day, regardless of whether he could ask for a confession from the mouth of the bandit leaders, he would first find an excuse to take down Lu Kang.
Liu Qingyuan has been an official in Shangxian for several years, how could he not have some black materials from Lu Kang in his hands?
Immediately afterwards, a large number of officials were taken down for various reasons, including Tongzhi (deputy prefect), pusher, governor, experience, prison, and some gentry were also taken down.
For a time, all the officials present were in danger and were silent. The officials and gentry originally came to participate in the celebration banquet, but they didn't expect to be arrested in large numbers at once, and they really responded to the sentence: cucumbers beat dogs - half of them are gone.
Over there, Governor Sun was arresting people in full swing, and here Xu Jin was helped aside by Erniu to sit down, and Fei Ruyi, who was carrying the wound medicine, was tearfully lining the medicine for him.
Xu Jin was beaten fat, and his nose and face were also swollen, but compared to the broken appearance of King Ning's son, Xu Jin was lighter, but Xu Jin had other injuries on his body, especially his hands and feet, because he was curled up to protect the vital points, so his hands and feet were seriously injured, and he was bruised and purple, and even Erniu couldn't bear to look at it.
Fei Ruyi gently took the medicine for Xu Jin, and her beautiful eyes still contained two bubbles of crystal tears, and she kept asking if it hurt, which Xu Jin was embarrassed and a little useful.
At this time, Zhu Houxi had already picked up the clothes scattered all over the place, skillfully wrapped them with baggage, and lived in Xu's house for more than half a year, and he was no longer a little beggar who couldn't do anything when he first came.
Zhu Houxi stood aside with his burden on his back, and his eyes were a little strange when he saw Fei Ruyi gently rubbing medicine for Xu Jin.
Xu Jin coughed awkwardly and said, "Little slave...... Your Royal Highness, these clothes are dirty, what are you doing here? ”
Zhu Houxi pursed his lips: "These clothes are all made for me by Sister Xiaowan, I have to keep them as a souvenir, and I can wash them if they are dirty." Xu Jin, you have nothing to say, why is your heart empty? ”
Xu Jin was suddenly choked speechless.
At this time, Fei Hong and Fei Cai came over, and when they saw their niece rubbing medicine for Xu Jin without suspicion, as well as the distressed appearance of pear blossoms with rain, they couldn't help but glance at each other helplessly, and now I am afraid that more rumors have come out.
Fei Hong coughed lightly and asked with concern, "Ziqian, how are you hurt?" ”
Xu Jin didn't have a table word before, Fei Hong has always called Xu Jin Xiao Xu, or Brother Jin, but now Xu Jin has taken the table word, so it is naturally cordial to call the table word.
Xu Jin hurriedly stood up: "Master Fei, the student is fine. ”
Fei Hong couldn't help frowning when he saw the bruises on Xu Jin's hands and feet, and Fei Cai said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, it is so vicious." ”
Zhu Houxi said stupidly: "I should have kicked a few more just now." ”
"Come on, send Ruyi home, Dabao, you help send Ziqian home." Fei Hong waved his hand and commanded
Although the celebration banquet continued to be held after Sun Xunfu was arrested, Xu Jin really couldn't participate in it anymore with his current appearance.
……
The governor's yamen, the banquet for the generals to celebrate the achievements of the generals continued, but the new celebrity Liu Zhixian was very busy, a large number of officials who had just been arrested had to be taken into custody, and the thieves who were poisoned in prison had to be dealt with to find out the cause of the poisoning.
Liu Qingyuan hurried back to the county government room with his people, and found that all the thieves in the prison had indeed vomited black blood and died, and there was vomit everywhere, and the smell was extremely unpleasant.
In addition, the beggars Du Cripple and Ge Laoliu who were detained during the Shangyuan Festival were also poisoned and died, and these beggar leaders have been sentenced to capital punishment for abducting and selling children.
Liu Qingyuan led someone to dispose of the corpse, then walked out of the squad with a gloomy face, and asked, "Who is on duty in the prison today?" ”
The head of the squad said tremblingly: "Lord Hui County, my subordinates and Li San are on duty today, but the subordinates are really not poisoned, and the meals are also sent by the kitchen fireman." ”
"Where is Li San?" Liu Qingyuan glanced around, but did not find the jailer named Li San.
The team leader looked around and said, "It was still there not long ago." ”
"Go, find out!" Liu Qingyuan shouted sharply.
Half an hour later, Li San was found, but it was a corpse, which fell in front of the door of the room where he lived, stabbed into the heart with a knife, and died on the spot, and there was a burden next to it, it is estimated that he was killed when he wanted to run away, the burden was turned over by the murderer, and the belongings inside were taken away, leaving only some clothes.
Liu Qingyuan's face was pale, and at the same time, he felt a chill in his heart, he was afraid that the people around him would not be able to use it anymore, and he would have to clean it again and establish a trustworthy team.
……
Xu Jin's screams came from the room, and Xie Xiaowan stood outside the door so anxious that she burst into tears, and her heart was broken. The little slave Zhu Houxi comforted: "Sister Xiaowan, don't worry, didn't the big brother say that he didn't hurt the internal organs, and he would be fine if he rubbed the medicinal wine." ”
In the room, Xu Jin was lying on the bed with his bare buttocks, and there was a bath bucket next to him, but the water in the bath bucket was pitch black, revealing a strong smell of medicine.
This is a potion brewed by Xie Yidao, which has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, Xu Jin soaked in the bath bucket for half an hour just now, and the bruises on his body obviously dissipated a lot, but it looked even more terrifying, because the area occupied by the blood stasis would be larger when it first dispersed.
At this time, Xu Jin's hands, feet and body were full of blue and black, and it looked scary enough, no wonder Xie Xiaowan's girl was so distressed that she burst into tears.
At this moment, Xie Yidao was rubbing Xu Jin's wounds with medicinal wine, his hands were red, and there was a faint white gas, Xu Jin only felt as if he had been burned by fire, it hurt when he rubbed it, but it was very comfortable afterwards, anyway, he didn't have any image with his bare buttocks, so Xu screamed in pain very spinelessly, which made Xie Xiaowan, who was waiting outside, feel distressed and restless.
Finally, the screams gradually subsided, and Xie Yidao opened the door and walked out with a tired look.
"Big brother, how is his injury?" Xie Xiaowan hurriedly asked.
Xie Yidao replied: "Brother-in-law is fine, the bones are not injured, I will rub the medicine on him twice again, it is estimated that the stasis will be almost completely dispersed, well, you go in and clean up for your brother-in-law." ”
Xie Xiaowan hurriedly opened the door and went in, and at this time Xu Jin was still lying on the bed with his bare buttocks. It is said that although the two have been married for almost a year, they have not yet had a round house, Xie Xiaowan is still the first time to see Xu Jin's slippery appearance, so she is a little shy, but when she saw the red and black injuries on Xu Jin's body, the little girl couldn't help but shed tears again, and silently put on the clothes for Xu Jin.
Xu Jin smiled and comforted: "What are you crying about, Xianggong didn't suffer in vain, the prince of Na Ning is worse than me, his face is swollen into a pig's head, I'm afraid I don't dare to see anyone." ”
"Xianggong, it's not funny at all!" Xie Xiaowan snorted and pouted.
Xu Jin's heart was hot, he hugged Xie Xiaowan into his arms, and kissed the pouting little mouth, the girl's lips were cool and slippery, no wonder it was called eating tofu!
Xie Xiaowan snorted lightly, glanced at Xianggong shyly, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, eldest brother, they are outside." ”
Xu Jin licked his lips unsatisfactorily: "It's okay, I can't hear it behind closed doors!" ”
"Ahem...... Brother-in-law, someone is looking for you outside! Xie Erjian's voice came in from outside.
"Oh, I'll be right out!"
Xie Xiaowan's pretty face was as red as fire, and she quickly put on her clothes for Xu Jin, who knew that someone knew the taste of marrow, held her face again, and took a wolf sip on Sakura's lips, and then walked to the door with dignity.
Xie Xiaowan is both shy and sweet!
Xu Jin opened the door of the room and found a row of people standing outside, several brothers-in-law, the little slave Zhu Houxi, and Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong's brothers.
"The people are here, come and sit in the hall!" Xu Jin looked calm and authentic.
Fei Maozhong said: "The third sister is crying and her eyes are swollen, so we ...... Ahem, I thought Ziqian was bedridden, but now it doesn't seem to be seriously injured. ”
Fei Maoxian said gratefully: "Ziqian, thanks to you this time, otherwise the third sister's reputation will be ruined by the beast of King Ning." By the way, there is a bottle of wound medicine here that the third sister asked us to bring. ”
"Oh, thank you Ruyi girl on my behalf!" Xu Jin took the box of wound medicine and handed it to Xiao Wan beside him.
Fei Maoxian looked at the box of wound medicine in Xie Xiaowan's hand and opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
