Chapter 108: Chance Encounter on the Street (1 more) Ask for subscription
Early in the morning of May 13, the prince of Ning and his subordinates were expelled from Shangrao County and repatriated to Nanchang, the fief of King Ning. Sun Sui also ordered the officials of the prefectures and counties along the road to supervise and not allow the prince of Ning Wang to stay.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers have repatriated the prince of the vassal king for the first time, and Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning, is the first case, which can be said to have lost face, and this matter has spread throughout Jiangxi at a very fast speed, and even returned to the circle of magnates in the capital.
Jiangxi's upright local officials and the oppressed gentry all clapped their hands and relieved their anger!
You must know that since Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, restored the power of the three guards, he has become more and more arrogant and arrogant, secretly confined and killed local officials, and forcibly occupied people's land, public land, official land, and even the guard's tuntian, and often counted thousands of dollars.
And King Ning befriended the powerful people in Beijing, and most of the scripts that the magistrates complained about him were intercepted by Qian Ning and his ilk, so King Ning did so many bad things and evil things, and he still did not receive the punishment he deserved.
It is for this reason that the local officials in Jiangxi hate and fear, and the upright and outspoken magistrates have been almost cleaned up by King Ning, and the rest are either attached to King Ning, or do things in a low-key manner with their tails between them, and even do everything possible to seek a transfer and transfer out of the Jiangxi territory.
Is it sad to be miserable?
It is most appropriate to use this poem to describe today's Jiangxi officialdom, hundreds of officials are silent, lifeless, Li Min dares to be angry but dare not speak, is this sad or not?
However, now Sun Fuxun roared with his arms, and Kyushu was angry and thunderous, injecting a breath of vitality into the lifeless Jiangxi officialdom and lifting the spirits of Jiangxi's officials.
Sun Fuxun exterminated the bandits in Lead Mountain with thunderous means, and cleaned the officialdom of Shangrao County with the power of a great victory and expelled the prince of King Ning. This tough attitude, the iron-fisted means like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, makes people marvel, Governor Sun is good! Finally, someone dared to stand up and uphold justice, and resisted the soil emperor Ning Wang head-on.
The officials and gentry with a clear conscience can be silent and can protect themselves, but now that someone is taking the lead in carrying the flag against King Ning, how can they not shout and cheer for the governor?
Therefore, Sun Sui's expulsion of King Ning's son made Sun Sui's prestige in Jiangxi unprecedentedly high, and of course it also made King Ning Zhu Chenhao angry, eager to divide Sun Sui's five horses.
In addition, after the prince of Ning Wang was expelled from the city, the purge of the officialdom of Shangrao County was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Liu Qingyuan, the magistrate of the county. Strictly speaking, Liu Qingyuan is now the acting prefect of Guangxin Mansion, because the senior officials of the government headed by Lu Kang have all been eliminated, and now Sun Sui, the governor of the entire Shangrao County, is the largest official.
Of course, it is not possible for Liu Qingyuan to sit in the position of the prefect, after all, the prefect of the county is the seventh grade, and the prefect of Guangxin Mansion is from the fourth grade, and the difference in level is too far. Therefore, even if Lu Kang is found guilty afterwards, the ministry will send another official to fill the vacancy, and it is not Liu Qingyuan's turn to be the prefect.
Sun Sui and Liu Qingyuan teamed up to clean up the officialdom of Shangrao County, but Xu Jin, a little scholar who was a "thunder boy", had nothing to do, and continued to study hard to prepare for the college examination in August.
Of course, Xu Jin has made such a great contribution, and Sun Sui will not treat him badly, but Xu Jin has no official status, so how to reward it has become a problem, so he can only remember it for the time being, and he will cash it out when Xu Jin gets his fame in the future.
In addition, Xu Jin saved the prince of Xingwang, and Sun Sui also made it truthful in the book, and it is estimated that the emperor will also express it when he sees it, and it is very likely that it is a verbal reward and a reward in terms of property, after all, Xu Jin is still white, and it is impossible to add an official to the knighthood.
……
On the afternoon of 16 May, a long-distance horse team entered the county seat of Shangrao, and it was the people of Xingwangfu who had traveled thousands of miles from Huguang'an and Luzhou after receiving the 800-mile urgent report.
At this time, Xu Jin was still concentrating on reading and preparing for exams in the study of his house. Because the injuries on his body were not completely healed, Xie Xiaowan did not agree with him to go back to the academy, and under the resentful gaze of the little girl, Xu Jin was suddenly defeated, so he had to stay at home while studying while recuperating from his injuries, living a "corrupt" life of stretching out his hands with clothes and opening his mouth with food.
In addition, every two days, his brother-in-law Xie Yidao would get a bucket of potion for Xu Jin to soak, and Xu Jin got up every morning in addition to jogging, but also had one more activity - practicing vomiting. It's just that I haven't felt that this has any effect for the time being, and my stomach is full after every practice, because Xie Yidao's teaching has the action of "swallowing Jin", and the saliva of Jin, to put it bluntly, is swallowing saliva. It is said that this is called refining gas liquid, which can prolong life and make Xu Jin feel like he has been pitted.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jinmo put down his pen after writing "Shooting the Condor" and carefully dried the ink on the paper.
Because he had already negotiated with the carving workshop introduced by Fei Hong about the publication of "Shooting the Condor", and even received the deposit, Xu Jin would take a certain amount of time to be a "copyist" in addition to reading every day, so he would practice calligraphy after studying, and earn some extra blocks by the way.
Xu Jin moved his numb wrist, stood up and walked out of the study, only to see that the Xie brothers were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, sweating profusely, as if they had just been fished out of the water, even Xie Sangun, this kid, was bare-chested, and the six well-defined abdominal muscles in the lower abdomen made Xu Jin embarrassed.
The amount of food for those who practice martial arts must be far beyond ordinary people, and it is no wonder that Xu Jin's old father-in-law, who has never met before, shouts that he can't afford to support these "rice buckets". It is said that the three brothers-in-law are indeed very edible, and they have to have three or four bowls of rice every meal, which really fulfills the sentence: half the size, eat the poor old man.
Anyway, now with the addition of Erniu, the Xu family has a total of five people to eat, and the expenses are not ordinarily large, Xu Jin really has to find a way to increase his income, otherwise there is really not much left just by relying on the income of the haggis shop.
Xu Jin didn't interrupt the three brothers-in-law, nodded and went straight to the shop in front, this time was the evening market, and it was the busiest time.
It is said that the Hengfeng carriage and horse shop on the opposite side has not recovered until now, and the drivers of the carriage and horse shop have begun to find another way, after all, the family wants to eat, and they can't stay here, but only come over occasionally to have a look.
However, the business of the haggis shop has improved somewhat, because most of the coachmen go to the nearby vegetable market to get work, and when they pass by, they will also go to the shop to help, and the haggis shop opened by Aunt Qian opposite has closed down.
"Case Chief Xu!"
"Xu Gongzi!"
As soon as Xu Jin came out, the diners in the store greeted him warmly, this is the head of the county test and the government test, and I heard that he can also talk to the governor, and the future is limitless, so he naturally competes with each other.
Xu Jin smiled and nodded in response, and then walked to the stove to help light the fire.
"Xianggong, I don't need your help here, let's go in and read."
"I just finished reading it!"
"Then take a walk down the street, but remember to come back for dinner." Xie Xiaowan coaxed Xu Jin out.
Although she knows that her father-in-law is informal, but now that she is a child who has passed the government examination, Xie Xiaowan doesn't want her father-in-law to continue to do these jobs of serving people, so as not to be looked down upon.
Xu Jin reluctantly walked out of the haggis shop and wandered casually on the street. Now the city defense of Shangrao County is still controlled by Sun Sui's soldiers, and the prince of Ning Wang and his forces have basically been swept away, so Xu Jin walked on the street with unprecedented ease, and the long-lost sense of security returned.
It is said that when he suggested that Fei Hong write a letter to Governor Sun, Xu Jin planned to take advantage of the situation to sweep away the minions of the prince of Ning Wang and overthrow the prefect Lu Kang. Now that the prefect of Lu has fallen, all the officials who have befriended the prince of Ning Wang have been eliminated, and even the prince of Ning Wang himself has been expelled from the city, so the task is overfulfilled, and there is no need to live in fear in Shangrao County in the future.
Xu Jin was wandering around, when he saw a thin horse dragging a board cart struggling to meet him, with more than a dozen hemp bags stacked on the cart, piled high, and the driver was a yellow-faced man, and a lean old man sat in the passenger seat and dialed the abacus attentively.
Xu Jin recognized that this lean old man was Boss Han who sold lanterns at Nancheng Wharf on the Shangyuan Festival, that is, Han Chuang's Laozi Han Xin, who sent the bandit number: Iron Abacus Han Sanjin.
Xu Jin suddenly became childlike and shouted loudly: "Ouch, Boss Han, I lost a sack." ”
Han Xin suddenly jumped out of the car as if his butt was loaded with a spring, and hurriedly ran to the back to look around, and found that it had not fallen at all, and the fifteen sacks of grain were all on the cart.
"Drop a fart, who is so boring to entertain Lao Tzu...... Aha, it turned out to be Xu Biting Yin Xu Gongzi! Han Xin saw that it was Xu Jindun who put on a smiling face.
Xu Jin couldn't help but have black lines on his head, it was estimated that Han Chuang's guy often called himself Xu Biting Silver in front of his Lao Tzu, so Han Xin also called out. Of course, Xu Jin didn't care about these things, he casually glanced at the yellow-faced man who was driving the car, and asked with a smile: "What kind of treasure is Boss Han transporting in the car?" ”
Han Xin said with a smile: "What kind of treasure can it be, it's just the millet harvested in the nearby village, life is difficult, make a few hard-earned money." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, due to the matter of thieves, several rice shops in Shangrao County that were implicated were seized, plus the carriage and horse shops were also blocked, and the freight was affected, so the price of rice has risen further recently, and it is estimated that Han Xin, a profiteer with a flexible mind, smelled a business opportunity and actually started a business of trafficking grain.
Xu Jin quipped: "Boss Han is so smiling that the corners of his mouth are grinning to the root of his ears, I'm afraid he will make a lot of money." ”
"Hehe, I made some hard-earned money!" Han Xin sat back in the passenger seat with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Young Master Xu, you still have to hurry up to deliver the goods, let's talk about it next time you have time." ”
The yellow-faced man who was driving the car glanced back at Xu Jin coldly, and waved his horsewhip to drive the horse forward.
Xu Jin frowned, he always felt that this yellow-faced man was a little kind-faced, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, what made Xu Jin feel most strange was that there seemed to be hostility in the eyes of this yellow-faced man.
