Ono Yuri's death did not cause any waves, a female death row prisoner who tried to escape from prison was just a death row prisoner, and when she died, several high-ranking officials of the Nanjing jury did not pay much attention to it, anyway, the confession of the charges or something was clearly recorded, which did not affect the conclusion of the entire case.

On the first day of the fifth month, last night's violent thunderstorm did not affect the sun rise today, and it was still a sunny day today, but the water of the Surabaya River rose a little.

Early in the morning, dozens of bowed ships were moored on the Surabaya River wharf in front of the government office, and Shi Haoran, the two Huai salt transport envoys, Jiang Ping, the prefect of Yangzhou, Xu Weixue, the giant thief, and the thief Da Nei Zongshe were escorted onto the ship one after another.

Subsequently, Lu Bing said goodbye to Xu Jin and the others who saw him off on the dock, and then led 300 brocade clothes to board the ship and leave, escorting the prisoners north along the canal to return to Beijing, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to arrive in Beijing.

It is worth mentioning here that Zhao Jian, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, also entered Beijing with the ship, after all, this case is serious, and it is necessary to send a weighty official to Beijing to hand over the trial.

After sending Zhao Jian and Lu Bing away, officials at all levels in Yangzhou greeted Xu Jin and then dispersed one after another.

Xu Jin arched his hand at Wang Shouren and the others, and said apologetically: "The lower officials are busy with official business, and it is inconvenient to accompany you to observe the 500 camp drills today, so Xie Yishi will replace the lower officials and take you to the Yangzhou Wei camp for a walk." ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "It's okay, Ziqian can be busy, don't worry about us idle old men who don't do their jobs." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Jin, the imperial historian of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Bian Xian, the secretary of the Nanjing Dali Temple, smiled bitterly, although they are all members of the third grade or above, but Nanjing only stays in the capital, so the official positions here are indeed idle positions for the elderly.

Of course, not all the officials of the Nanjing Ministry and Yuan sat on cold chairs, and some of them only went to Nanjing to go through the motions for the time being because of the need for promotion, and after a year and a half, they would be transferred back to the Beijing Division to take on important tasks.

Next, Xie Erjian took Lao Wang and others out of the city and went to Yangzhou Wei Camp to observe the 500 battalion drills. It is said that Wang Lin'er and Xie Erjian have been busy training recruits recently, and now the 500 battalion has been expanded to 1,000 people.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Xie Sangun, a kid, was actually taken by Wang Shouren, and took the initiative to propose to Xu Jin to accept him as a closed disciple and stay by his side to learn art for three years.

Of course, Xu Jin couldn't ask for it, not to mention anything else, with the signboard of Wang Shouren's personal disciples, the future of the brother-in-law can be described as bright, not to mention that Lao Wang's disciples are all over the Ming Dynasty, these are extremely valuable network resources.

Therefore, Xu Jin immediately personally opened up Luo and asked Xie Sangun to pay homage to Wang Shouren in full view of everyone, and with this relationship, the Xie family is stable!

After the two brothers-in-law took Wang Shouren and others out of the city, Xu Jin immediately returned to the government office.

It is said that Xu Daqincha is really busy now, especially after Xia Yan led the troops to leave Yangzhou, all official affairs were put on his desk, and the worst thing was that Jiang Ping, the prefect of Yangzhou, and several officials of the government were implicated and fell because of their involvement, so before the new official appointed by the ministry arrived, the daily work of the government had to be presided over by him.

So Xu Jin is so busy these days that he even has to run to eat and go to the toilet, and he often has to work overtime until late at night to rest, not an ordinary hardship, even the handsome little white face has two shallow dark circles under his eyes, which can make the pretty maid who serves him feel distressed in early summer.

Xu Jin worked hard non-stop, and after hastily eating the lunch sent by Erniu at noon, he immediately devoted himself to his selfless work, and it was not until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that all the official documents that needed to be reviewed were processed after almost getting off work.

Xu Jin rubbed his sore wrist, feeling that his waist bones were stiff, he would have to get tired sooner or later, and it seemed that he had to find a few helpers quickly. So Xu Daqin wrote a paper order with a stroke of a pen, transferring Zhu Kun, the commander of Dongtai County, to the government as the acting general judge, specifically responsible for dealing with the matter of land clearance, and transferred Wei Yang, a professor of Fuxue, to the commander of Jiangdu County, responsible for the daily government affairs of Yangzhou City.

The general judgment of Yangzhou Mansion is a six-grade official, and Zhu Kun was promoted from the Dongtai County Order of the Seventh Rank to the Yangzhou Mansion of the Sixth-grade General Judgment, which is equivalent to two consecutive promotions, but he resisted the pirates in Dongtai County, participated in the extermination of pirates on Dongsha Island, investigated and dealt with smuggling cases, and even paid the price of an arm, so these credits and hard work are added together, and it is not too much to promote two products in a row.

As for the senior brother Wei Yang, the professor of Fuxue was originally the seventh grade, and the Jiangdu County Commander who was transferred to the seventh rank was just a transfer of equal positions, so as long as Xu Jin's performance is successful, the probability of the official department finally passing the appointment is still quite high, even if it is not passed in the end, it is good to act now to help share the official duties.

Xu Jin finished writing the letter of appointment, stamped the letter of seal, and recruited the official to be responsible for the delivery, today's work is finished, and it is rare to get off work on time.

Xu Jin stretched his waist and walked out of the gate of the mansion, and was about to return to Ren's house, when Erniu squeaked and said, "Tenth uncle...... It's still early, why don't you go and visit Miss Cuiqiao? ”

Xu Jin woke up suddenly, he was busy trying cases and handling official business during this time, and he hadn't seen Wang Cuiqiao for seven or eight days.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, and ordered Erniu to drive to Jinhua's mother-in-law's medical center, and Erniu immediately happily beat the horse.

As the so-called love for beauty is shared by everyone, a peerless woman like Wang Cuiqiao, if Xu Jin doesn't have the slightest idea, it is definitely impossible, but for now, Xu Jin is indeed grateful to Wang Cuiqiao, and this woman's action of blocking a palm for herself regardless of her life really moved Xu Jin very much.

Granny Jinhua's medical hall is in the west of the city, in order to facilitate treatment, Wang Cuiqiao lived in the small courtyard behind the medical hall during this time, and Xu Jin also specially sent Chu Chun to help Qiu Yan.

In the scorching summer, the days are long and the nights are short, although it is already more than five o'clock in the evening, but the sky is still bright, and the sun has only set to the top of the Xicheng Tower. However, due to the obstruction of the surrounding buildings, the small courtyard behind the hospital hall is shady, and the sunlight only shines on the east wall of the hospital.

Wang Cuiqiao was seriously injured, coupled with the woman's frailty, her recovery was even slower, and after nearly 20 days of recuperation, she was barely able to walk around on the ground recently.

At this time, Wang Cuiqiao was supported by Chu Chun and walked slowly in the shade of the small courtyard, her slightly pale face was already sweating slightly, and her breath was obviously a little anxious.

"Master, you're tired, let's sit down for a while!" Chu Chun helped Wang Cuiqiao to sit down on the bamboo chair next to him, and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the sweat beads on the latter's forehead.

Wang Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Chuchun, don't call me master, it sounds weird." ”

"Then the maid will learn from the old man and call it Miss Cuiqiao!" Chu Chun pursed his lips and smiled.

Wang Cuiqiao coughed lightly twice with a handkerchief to cover her small mouth, and asked softly with a little surprise: "Early spring, Lord Xu...... It's been a busy day lately, hasn't it? ”

Chu Chun nodded and said: "The master is very busy these days, Nanjing came to jury the case of the giant thief Xu Weixue, plus Lord Xia is not there, everything has to be done by the lord himself, yesterday the maid went back to get the clothes, I heard Chu Xia said, the master handled the official documents every night until late at night to sleep." ”

Wang Cuiqiao sighed with relief and said softly: "In early spring, I'm fine now, or you go back to serve your master, just have autumn geese here." ”

At this time, Qiu Yan came out of the house with a bowl of soup and medicine, and said, "Miss, it's time to take medicine." ”

Wang Cuiqiao's distant mountain-like eyebrows suddenly frowned: "This medicine is too hard to drink, I want to vomit every time I drink it, it's so uncomfortable, it's okay not to drink it." ”

"Loyalty is good for the ear, good medicine is good for the disease, how can the disease be good if you don't drink the medicine!" A stern voice rang out suddenly.

The third girl looked up and followed the prestige, only to see Granny Jinhua coming over with a stern expression, followed by a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, who was Xu Jin.

Wang Cuiqiao's cheeks turned red, but the joy in her beautiful eyes was naturally revealed, and she said suddenly: "Mother-in-law has taught me that Cuiqiao has seen Master Xu." ”

Xu Jin smiled and returned the salute: "Miss Cuiqiao doesn't need to be polite, her complexion seems to be much better today." ”

Jin Huapo said with a straight face: "Is Lord Xu old and dizzy at a young age?" She blushed when she saw the man, where is the complexion good! After speaking, he grabbed Wang Cuiqiao's wrist and took the pulse.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless with embarrassment, and Wang Cuiqiao was even more embarrassed, with her head lowered and her long eyelashes lowered.
