Chapter 779: Yield
When Tian Xing took Jiang Guo to find Feng Cheng, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
The dignified county magistrate of Lingshou County actually tucked the hem of his robe at his waist, rolled up his sleeves, sat on the stone ridge under the eaves, held a cooking cake in his hand, and chatted with an old farmer opposite while eating it in a big gulp. Beside him, a little doll of a few years old who was so mushy that she had no nose and no eyes ran around, and from time to time she would curiously reach out and pull the two little tails on Jiang Cheng's head, Jiang Cheng was not annoyed, but smiled and picked up a thinly sliced sausage from front of her to feed the little guy.
Where is the slightest bit of official authority?
Jiang Guo once again refreshed his perception of northern officials.
Tian Xing was not surprised, and explained with a smile: "It's not that every official is like Feng Xianling, he came out of Wuwei Academy, when he was in the academy, the main focus was on agriculture, and his experience in planting fields is no worse than that of ordinary old farmers." ”
Feng Cheng saw them, and probably understood what he was going to do, so he didn't pay much attention to it, ate the cooking cake in his hand in three or two times, and took a bowl of soup handed over by the old man, drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "Guo Laohan, your corn cob in these two acres of mountainous land looks good now, but it has to be carefully served, in the entire Lingshou County, there are only ten families who have planted this new crop, these seeds, but I have the cheekiness to ask the teacher to ask for it, this is a new thing, can it be fully spread in Zhenzhou, I'm just waiting for the results of your experiments. ”
"Don't worry. Old man, my farming skills, in these four towns and eight miles, who can compare, and there are precautions written down by your own hand, I will keep this year's harvest. Guo Laohan slapped his chest loudly, "I am all about this, and I don't care about the other fields." ”
"If there are any changes, any experiences, you have to let your son make a record, if it can really be promoted, then many of the wasteland in Lingshou County that was not used before can be planted with this, this is all food." Feng Cheng tirelessly admonished: "Not only can you plant it well, but if you want to promote it next, you also need everyone to plant it well." ”
"I remember it all very well." Guo Laohan nodded again and again.
Feng Cheng clapped his hands and stood up, put down the lower handle of his robe, shook his shirt, and said, "Then that's it, I'll come down and look at it in a few days." ”
"Is the county gentleman leaving?" Guo Laohan got up to send him off, and the dirty boy also came over.
Feng Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to twist the boy's little face: "Let's go, didn't you see someone coming to the door?" Your grandson is smart, and he will be able to go to school in two years. ”
Hearing the county gentleman praise his grandson, Guo Laohan'er suddenly smiled: "The family is counting on him to be able to study in the future, and he can also be admitted to Wuwei Academy, and he will be a good official like the county order in the future!" ”
Feng Cheng laughed, waved his hand, and walked out. Out of the courtyard gate, he didn't pay attention to Tian Xing and Jiang Guo, and went straight on the horse, Tian Xing glanced at Jiang Guo embarrassedly, and hurriedly followed.
The group walked silently for a while, Feng Cheng stretched out his hand coldly and said, "Take it!" ”
Tian Xing hurriedly took out Tian Lingzi's letter and the letter of Yuan Zhou, the assassin of Zhenzhou, from his arms and handed them to Feng Cheng.
"It's a good skill, even Yuan Tingshi came to help intercede." Feng Cheng sneered.
"Feng Xianjun, these Lingnan people have not been here for a long time, and they don't know the rules, so it can be said that those who don't know are not guilty. Of course, they did violate the law, and what Tian Gong and Yuan Gong meant was that as long as the other party was willing to forgive, they could still be punished lightly. Tian Xing said with a smile: "After all, it is the personal guard of the eldest girl, and it must always be seen in the face of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"Has the person forgiven?" Feng Cheng snorted coldly.
"Forgive, forgive." Tian Xing took out a stack of papers from his bosom, "Yesterday, Mr. Jiang has visited those farmers one by one, and each family has paid 50 yuan in compensation, and the injured family has paid 200 yuan in compensation. ”
"Violently resisting arrest and injuring the officer's ......" Feng Cheng glanced at the stack of documents in his hand, and his face eased slightly. The other party's compensation is also a big deal, after all, the one who was hit by a horse was not too seriously injured, two hundred yuan, which is worth the other party's income for two years, and those people must be satisfied. If you, the county lord, can get justice for them, you will naturally not be poked in the back.
"County Jun, we haven't come to compensate for the injured errand yet, mainly because we are afraid that the county gentleman will mistakenly think that we are bribing tolerance, as long as the county gentleman speaks, Xiang Jia will also compensate, after all, these people are different from ordinary people, and please look at the face of Tian Gong and Yuan Gong, lift it high, and put it down gently." Tian Xing said with a smile.
"Hey, hey!" Feng Cheng laughed twice, but did not speak, shook the reins of the horse, and galloped towards the direction of the county seat.
In the prison of Lingshou County, Xiang Qi had been loosened, and he was sitting opposite Yan Si with a depressed face, and the table in the middle was actually full of delicious food and a pot of wine.
Yan Si had a thick stack of documents in his hand, all of which were all about the Xiang clan that Xiang Qi had confessed.
The fierce general Xiang Qi finally did not survive Yan Si and surrendered on his knees.
"Come on, Brother Xiang, if you sign this document again, it will be over, and in the future, we will be colleagues." Yan Si smiled and put a piece of paper in front of Xiang Qi.
"You, you didn't say before that I was going to join your internal guard!" Xiang Qi said with some horror.
Yan swung his head, patted the stack of thick things in his hand, and said: "Brother Xiang, do you really don't understand or fake don't understand, when you say these things, the Xiang family can't tolerate you, if these things, a little bit of it falls out into your hands Xiang Da Girl, will you still be alive?" Not only will you not survive, but your family in Lingnan will not survive! You have a beautiful wife and concubines, children and daughters, parents and brothers, you can tell me, which of them can live? Could it be that you still want to advance and retreat with Xiang Jia? ”
Xiang Qi suddenly covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly.
Yan Si was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for Xiang Qi's mood to calm down before continuing: "So, you can only follow us with all your heart in the future." This is a path from which there is no turning back, and half-heartedness will only harm you. After signing this paperwork, you will be our colleague from now on, and to tell you the truth, you will thank me in the future for pulling you to our boat. ”
"Yan Si, I'll fuck your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Xiang Qi scolded angrily with tears in his eyes.
Yan Siyi spread his hands: "I didn't know who my father and mother were since I was a child, and I didn't know what my surname was?" So I don't know who my ancestors are, if you really want to find it, I'm grateful to you! How can I know who to put incense on when I am Qingming. ”
Xiang Qi was completely speechless, looked at Yan Si hatefully for a long time, and finally picked up the pen and signed his name on the paperwork. If you make a mistake, you will never look back, Yan Si is not wrong about this. As long as one of the documents in the other party's hand is lost, his family will inevitably die miserably.
"That's right!" Yan Si put away the paperwork with a smile, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Xiang Qi, "This matter, you still have to pass the face, and you will definitely be hit by the board next, but don't worry, we will do a good job, and it will definitely not hurt the muscles and bones." Feng Xianling will also receive letters of plea from the big people, and of course he will also get off the donkey, what about you, you are going to do three months of hard labor. ”
"Three months of hard labor?" Xiang Qi was surprised.
"Don't worry, it's all for outsiders. In these three months, we will send someone to conduct some corresponding training for you. Yan Si said: "Those who do our business are very knowledgeable." How to collect intelligence, how to send information, how to hide your behavior, to do so that you can't even say a word in your dreams, Brother Xiang, although you are a fierce general on the battlefield, but these things are definitely not good, if you don't train well, if you expose your stuffing, wouldn't you suffer in vain? Haven't we wasted all this effort? ”
Xiang Qi weakly picked up the cup and drank it all.
A day later, the case was pronounced in Lingshou County. In view of the fact that the injured party has made sufficient compensation to the injured party and obtained the aggrieved party's forgiveness, the offender should be punished lightly.
More than a dozen ordinary soldiers were given twenty canes and served a month of hard labor. Xiang Qi, as the main offender, was punished with 20 rods and served three months of hard labor.
As for the beating of Fa Cao Zhou Guozhu and Yigan Arrest, it was not mentioned in the whole text of the judgment. Privately, of course, Jiang Guo gave these people handsome compensation to shut them up.
These people in Lingshou County are quite satisfied, the loss is not big, but they have received a large amount of compensation, which can be regarded as a windfall. As people in the public family, the catchers know more, and they feel that it is already very good to have this result, but if it is changed to the past, I am afraid that this beating will be in vain.
Feng Cheng was not satisfied, because he felt that he had broken the law. specially wrote a letter to the Supervision Yuan to vent his dissatisfaction. Of course, this document is destined to be lost, because the internal guard is a subordinate department of the Inspectorate.
The most dissatisfied are the Lingnan people, who have been swept away this time, which makes people see the jokes, and also makes them see the situation they are facing more clearly, and in addition to acting more carefully, they also speed up the speed of planting people in Zhenzhou.
In addition to the special royal manor of Niuzhuang, there are more and more caravans from Lingnan, and there are more and more shops in Lingnan in the core area of Zhenzhou.
Of course, Li Ze didn't care about this little episode at all, and Tian Bo just talked to Li Ze casually.
