On August 15, a sunny day finally arrived.

Lin Haoran stayed at home honestly, today is not only a fixed day off for officials, but also a holiday for Daming. It's just that after the two collide together, the holiday is also only one day.

During this period of time, in the face of continuous disasters, more and more refugees poured into Leizhou City, which made him, the prefect of Leizhou, also feel a huge pressure.

After getting up from the bed, I simply ate a breakfast, and then I asked the bamboo chair to move to the yard. There is a pot of fragrant tea next to it, which is to bask in the sun comfortably.

It's just that my mind is not idle, and I am still thinking about the disaster.

The disaster situation in various places is continuing, and what he didn't expect is that the price of rice in Gaozhou Mansion, where the flood occurred last time, was only two taels and one stone, and now it looks like it is about to run away.

It is no wonder that the people on the side of Chaozhou Mansion want to revolt, so that the anti-thief leader Zhang Lian will sit down. It's really the officials and businessmen of the Ming Dynasty who are too cruel, and they can raise the price of rice so high, it's just a naked robbery.

If this goes on for a long time, ordinary people will have no way to live, and there is no reason to do the opposite. As the saying goes, the Ming Dynasty died in the gentry, which is really not unreasonable.

It's just the time to be cozy, and the light seems to disappear.

He sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that the sky was going to be sunny and cloudy again, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was an extra bamboo cover on his head. Tiger Girl, a wild girl, came here out of nowhere, and was holding a bamboo cover to help him block the sun.

Faced with this wild girl who ruined his sunbathing, he couldn't help but say helplessly: "Tiger girl, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother, it turns out that you are not asleep! Don't you see? I'm helping you block out the sun! The tiger girl's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said in a serious voice.

Lin Haoran sighed, and immediately preached: "Do you know! This sunlight carries ultraviolet rays, which can kill the bacteria on the body, and is very effective against diseases such as plague! ”

"Uh, that's it!" When Hu Niu heard this explanation, she immediately put down the bamboo lid in a compromise, and said crisply: "Brother, if it's really good, then I have to dry it too!" ”

Lin Haoran raised her eyes to look at the wild girl who ran away, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. This wild girl runs out every day, and recently she likes to run to the city to play, where do you need this, the most ultraviolet rays in the entire Leizhou City are her.

After a while, the tiger girl walked slowly on her short legs, showing the attributes of a violent girl, carrying the wooden horse as tall as her on her shoulder.

Although the tiger girl is usually a little playful, as long as it is Lin Haoran's day off, she usually does not run around, and will honestly accompany her brother to spend this holiday.

or go out to play with Lin Haoran, or accompany Lin Haoran at home, in short, she will choose to stay with her brother. While Lin Haoran is kind to her, Hu Niu also cherishes this only family.

Lin Haoran can be alone in a quiet place, and he can lie on a bamboo chair for a long time without speaking. But the tiger girl is completely different, if she doesn't eat in her mouth, she will talk about all kinds of interesting things.

Whose sow gave birth to several piglets, whose family had a yellow-haired rabbit, whose egg was as big as her fist...... In this way, the tiger girl is simply talking, as if she is the father-in-law of the land of this city.

Creak......

The tiger girl grabbed the handle of the head of the wooden horse with both hands, stepped on the saddle below, leaned forward, and the whole wooden horse swayed, and the whole person swayed.

A hint of wind slapped on her cheeks, causing her two moth eyebrows to stretch slightly, and her pretty eyes became brighter, and she took a handful of dragon's eyes from the little rabbit.

Lin Haoran heard the movement next to her, opened her eyes and looked at this girl with a red face, and smiled knowingly.

Hu Niu found that he was looking at herself, handed over a handful of longan and said, "Brother, this longan is so sweet!" ”

Lin Haoran took the longan from the tiger girl, and followed the tiger girl's preference to leave the largest and fullest longan at the end, and he took off the largest and fullest longan from it.

When the crust is gently peeled away, the crystal clear white flesh is revealed, and when you put the flesh in your mouth, you immediately taste a refreshing sweetness from the overflowing juice.

The tiger girl spit out a black fruit pit, chewed the delicious flesh in her mouth, and watched Lin Haoran's reaction to eating longan, with a bright smile on her face, and continued to shake the Trojan horse proudly.

Lin Haoran looked up at the happy appearance of the tiger girl riding the wooden horse, and wanted that the time was set at this moment, and he felt the happiness at this moment.

The tiger girl was proudly eating the dragon's eye and riding the wooden horse, and when she found that Lin Haoran had been looking at her, she cast an inquiring look in confusion, and her pink and jade face showed an incomprehensible look.

Lin Haoran didn't say what he was thinking at the moment, but found a topic very casually and asked, "Tiger girl, do you like this place or the capital?" ”

Hu Niu was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "Brother, don't you have two more years to get to the exam date?" "The exam is every three years, this is the rule set by Taizu, and Lin Haoran has only been the prefect of Leizhou for one year.

"Two years are coming soon! Do you want your brother to stay here? Or do you want my brother to go back to the capital to be an official? Lin Haoran put a peeled dragon's eye into his mouth and seriously asked the tiger girl's opinion.

Hu Niu didn't rush to answer, but glanced at Lin Haoran with her black and white eyes, and said crisply: "Brother, do you think I don't understand anything?" You have done so well, you must be promoted, and you must not continue to stay in Leizhou as a prefect! ”

Lin Haoran was suddenly embarrassed, and found that he really couldn't underestimate the wisdom of this wild girl in his own house, so he had to ask in a different way: "Okay! Tiger girl, where do you want your brother to rise? ”

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. As an official who is interested in making a difference in his career, Lin Haoran has already begun to plan for the future and wants to take a relatively smooth path to promotion.

Hu Niu thought for a while, and then said seriously: "You can go back to the capital for a while, and then go to other places to be an official!" ”

"Why did you go back to the capital and then go to the place first?" Lin Haoran suddenly asked suspiciously.

"I kind of want to go back to the capital and live in our house in the capital for a while!" Hu Niu turned her head and looked at Lin Haoran seriously, and then said in distress, "It's just that there are too many big officials in the capital, like last year in the capital, you are always afraid that I will cause trouble for you!" So it's better to be a local official, brother, if you are a local official, then I don't have to look ahead and backward to do things! ”

"Come on! Tiger girl, when will you look ahead and backward in doing things? Lin Haoran immediately choked him with words, and then continued to expose: "When you encounter something, don't you always rush up according to your temperament, when will you think about the consequences of doing things?" ”

This is not a framed tiger girl, the tiger girl is the kind of chivalrous man who draws a sword to help when the road is uneven. Just when he sees injustice, he immediately teaches the wicked man a lesson, but he doesn't think about the consequences of offending the wicked man.

At the beginning, Lin Haoran still wanted to teach Hu Niu a little thick black learning, but found that Hu Niu even had to take care of things like dogs bullying cats, so he knew that it was more difficult to change this girl than to ascend to the sky.

The tiger girl was exposed, first blinked her eyes, and found that it was really like this, so she immediately laughed, raised her face and explained seriously: "Oops! If you're really angry, who remembers that much! ”

Rational people can restrain themselves well, while emotional people are often swayed by emotions, and it seems that this wild girl belongs to the latter.

Lin Haoran was quite speechless for this girl with a strong sense of justice, but she did not deny her plan, so she happily agreed: "Okay!" If he really returns to the capital to be an official, my brother will strive for release as soon as possible! But if you want to be the governor, your brother is probably completely out of play, but the governor can still consider it! ”

The governor is often concurrently served by the six servants from the third rank, and the governor is concurrently served by the left and right of the fourth rank, the former can be said to have no chance, but the latter still has room to operate.

Of course, it is not easy for any one to be promoted, this Ming officialdom is a pyramid structure, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. Like the second assistant Xu Jie, who has served as the second assistant for seven or eight years, the result is still unable to be promoted to the first assistant, and it even seems to be far away.

The tiger girl showed her bun face as a thoughtful gesture, her eyes rolled around, and then she nodded and said, "Okay!" Brother, you will be the governor, then I will be the governor's sister! ”

"Sister Governor, are you happy?" Lin Haoran smiled dumbly at this title and asked her jokingly.

Tiger Girl's moth eyebrows opened slightly, but she concealed her happiness, and deliberately lengthened her tone and said crisply: "What do I have to be happy about?" It's not me as a governor, and I don't want to continue to help my brother teach bad guys? ”

Lin Haoran suddenly looked at this girl speechlessly, obviously she likes to do things to eliminate violence and peace, and she really seems to think about her brother.

However, this Leizhou City can be so stable, especially in the matter of settling the refugees this time, there is really a credit for this wild girl.

Maybe this girl with a full sense of justice is easy to get into trouble and will offend some official gentry who are unkind to the rich or oppress the people for official power, but it is not a blessing for him to have such a sister with a delicate heart.

One is like an old man lying quietly on a bamboo chair, and the other is riding a wooden horse energetically, chatting without a word, chatting about some people and things in the future.

It's just that Lin Haoran's leisurely was quickly broken, and Lin Yuanbao hurriedly walked in and said that it was Lianzhou Wei Qianhu Han Xing who asked to see him.

Originally, Lin Haoran was not going to meet the guest today, but when he heard that it was Lianzhou Wei Qianhu Han Xing, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he met with this subordinate in the living room.

"Humble duty, see Lord Armament!" Han Xing looked like a dusty man, and when he saw Lin Haoran coming in, he immediately saluted.

Lin Haoran didn't talk nonsense, walked to the main seat and asked directly: "What happened?" ”

Han Xing was like pouring bitter water, and immediately told the truth of the matter.

After Zhao Yong was promoted to the commander of Lianzhou, he did not forget Lin Haoran's teachings, and immediately liquidated Lianzhou Wei mercilessly. Whether it was embezzlement of military expenses or encroachment on military camps, he dealt with relevant personnel mercilessly.

From Tongzhi to Xiaoqi, he combed it from top to bottom, and more than ten important officers of the entire Lianzhou Wei were brought to justice by him, and most of them lost their positions.

It's just that this move naturally offended a large number of people, even the generals on the side of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division.

Although Zhao Yong made Lian Zhouwei "angry and resentful", fortunately, Lin Haoran, a Haibei soldier, covered him, and the matter did not cause too many waves.

Some of the personnel of Leizhou Wei were successively arranged into Lianzhou Wei, and Han Xing was also promoted from Leizhou 100 households to Lianzhou 1000 households, thinking that things would go smoothly, but the commander Zhao Yong was suddenly planted.

When the inspector Xu Ji arrived in Lianzhou, the deputy of Lianzhou immediately reported Zhao Yong. claimed that Zhao Yong used the crime to seek personal gain, and asked him for a bribe of 5,000 taels, which kept his position.

What people never expected was that in Zhao Yong's house, five thousand taels of silver were really found. According to the order of the imperial historian Xu Ji, Zhao Yong was taken out of prison and asked the court to bring him to justice.

It was precisely in this way that the beautiful Lianzhou commander made Zhao Yong a prisoner, and Han Xing hurriedly came over to ask Lin Haoran for help.

"Lord Bingbei, this is definitely a false accusation!" Han Xingyan sincerely shouted for Zhao Yong.

Lin Haoran took the teacup from Lin Yuanbao and asked in a calm voice: "How do you explain the five thousand taels?" ”

"Humble ...... Ignorance! Han Xing also shook his head, but immediately raised his face and said earnestly: "After Commander Zhao arrived, he sorted out Lian Zhouwei, he really offended everyone for his brother!" The humble position is willing to guarantee with his life, Commander Zhao will definitely not be greedy for the five thousand taels, please be sure to rescue Commander Zhao! ”

Lin Haoran let out a long sigh, took a sip of strong tea, and did not agree to this request on the spot. But it's not that I'm afraid of Xu Ji, the patrol who belongs to the Xu Party, but that this matter is full of human and material evidence, and it is difficult to ensure that Zhao Yong is really greedy for ink.

Although he felt that Zhao Yong might have been framed, he knew that he couldn't be emotional. How many exemplary people in this later life, as a result, one was more unclean than the other, and immediately shook his head slowly: "I know, you go back first!" ”

"Lord Bingbei, you ...... When will you arrive in Lianzhou? Han Xing hesitated for a moment, but still asked stubbornly.

Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure swelled, but he still shook his head patiently and said: "Don't you look at the situation outside now, now I can't leave in Leizhou City, I will follow up on the matter!" ”

"Yes!" Han Xing took the order in disappointment.

Watching Han Xing leave, Lin Haoran put down the teacup and shook his head gently.

During this time, he really didn't get his wish, things happened one after another, and I didn't know how to solve the flood, and there was a problem on Lian Zhouwei's side. If there was no Lian Zhouwei to help, then his plan to exterminate the Red Flag Gang would have to continue to be delayed.

As soon as he thought of this, he asked people to call Sun Jixiang to hear his opinion.
