The sudden invasion of the Chaozhou Prefecture by the Japanese was undoubtedly the greatest impact on the officialdom of Guangdong.

In the past February, the Guangdong officialdom first had a dispute over Yan Lin's Xiangshan New Town, then the investigation envoy Ding Yizhong's son was a suspect in the Leizhou bloody case, and then the inspector Xu Ji was transferred.

It was only when the news of the large-scale invasion of Chaozhou came that both the Xu and Yan parties were distracted by this sudden catastrophe, after all, Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, and the deputy envoy of the patrol sea were directly responsible.

Although they are all in the DPRK and China, the situation in Guangdong's coastal defense has really deteriorated to an uncontrollable level, and the two of them are also to blame.

The governor of Liangguang rushed from Wuzhou Mansion, but he passed through the city of Guangzhou without entering, and went directly to Chaozhou to take charge of the overall situation. Yan Rudou also honestly stayed in Nantou City, strengthening the coastal defense force at the mouth of the Pearl River, in order to prevent the Japanese from killing the city of Guangzhou from the mouth of the Pearl River.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the entire Guangdong officialdom shifted from the city of Guangzhou, paying attention to the development of the Chaozhou war.

Of course, some officials are not too worried, after all, they are not thieves after all.

Although the Japanese have the idea of attacking the city, they often only seek money, and they will retreat voluntarily when they encounter some resistance. So far, no Japanese have wanted to build a Yuan and claim the emperor on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and few Japanese have come to attack a big city of this level in Guangzhou City.

It's just that no matter what, the smell of gunpowder in Guangdong officialdom has dissipated a lot, and as the Yan Party and the Xu Party put their energy into the Chaozhou war, the entire Guangdong officialdom seems to have been given a respite.

In March, the fragrance of flowers is stronger, and there are flower branches poking out of the courtyard wall.

According to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, it is located in the vicinity of the south gate, and there are two stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the door, which makes this yamen appear very majestic. On the opposite side is a quiet alley, the first house of which was recently acquired, but the door of the house has been closed.

Although the door of the house has always been closed, the little golden monkey that always stays on the eaves proves that the family is inhabited here.

Chirping!

The little golden monkey jumped from the roof to the rockery in the courtyard, sat on the flat stone face, and scratched his ears and cheeks and barked at the people in the living room. The voice was very low, and did not show the slightest sense of excitement.

"Oops...... I'm so annoyed, I really want to rush in and arrest someone! ”

After hearing the cry of the little golden monkey, a little girl with a tiger head seemed to understand the meaning conveyed by the little golden monkey, and immediately said angrily.

Since she won her brother's assistance, Hu Niu spent money to buy this house, and has been monitoring the movement at the door of the judge's office, waiting for Ding Lu to appear.

As long as Ding Lu walked out of the Yamen of the Judge, then they could choose to arrest people in a place where there were few people, and then quietly send Ding Yizhong back to Leizhou to accept the verdict.

It's just that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. Their plan ran into a big problem, and Ding Lu had been staying in the back house of the Yamen of the Imperial Envoy, which made it impossible for them to start at all.

According to this situation, it is likely that Ding Lu stayed in the Yamen of the Judge until he accompanied his father to Shandong to take up the governorship.

Click......

Piggy was sitting at the table, eating the shortbread on his plate earnestly. Listening to the tiger girl's complaints, she raised her head in confusion, as if she didn't understand what was wrong with such a day.

Little Rabbit frowned seriously, although he was not interested in capturing the evil young Ding Lu, but it was a hurry for Miss Rush.

Shen Yan, who was dressed as a man, sat opposite the tiger girl, shook her head and persuaded seriously: "Tiger girl, if this is the case, not only will we not be able to catch people, but we will also startle the snake!" ”

"Why can't you catch someone?" Hu Niu stretched her tone, but she didn't know whether she was asking for advice or complaining.

Shen Yan explained seriously: "Although Ding Lu has committed a crime, your brother has no right to take over the Leizhou bloody case, let alone arrest people from Zheng Sanpin's judges." Now we can only do this secretly, we must not alarm the judge, let alone let Ding Yizhong know about our existence! ”

Tiger Niu sighed in disappointment, propped her face with her hands and complained, "Oops, it's so annoying! ”

Indeed, after receiving the help of her brother, she thought that the matter would be resolved quickly. But I didn't expect that almost ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still nothing.

As for that Ding Lu obviously committed a crime, she couldn't rush in and arrest people with confidence, and still let that big villain get away with it, so that Tang Suer's family could not be comforted.

"Tiger girl, maybe we have another way!" Shen Yan suddenly saw a flower in the courtyard, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Hu Niu immediately came to her senses, and asked anxiously: "Shen Yan, what can you do?" ”

Ali, Mu Ying and the others also looked at Shen Yan one after another, everyone knew that Shen Yan was very smart, and she was the military advisor of their group, and their eyes revealed a trace of expectation.

"We can't continue to wait for the rabbit, we have to adopt the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, and Lu Chunhua may be able to help us!" Shen Yan met everyone's eyes and said what she thought in her heart.

She didn't forget that even after Ding Lu was taught a lesson by Hu Niu and Lin Haoran, although she didn't dare to use violent means anymore, she didn't go to Lu Chunhua's store to "harass" Lu Chunhua.

Obviously, Ding Dawei really fell in love with Lu Chunhua, otherwise he would not have repeatedly run to Lu Chunhua's shop.

The tiger girl slid down from the stool, and immediately hurriedly walked outside and said, "Go!" Let's go find Lu Chunhua now! ”

Ay......

Shen Yan looked at the tiger girl's resolute appearance, but she didn't know whether to praise her for being decisive or laughing at her for being reckless. But sometimes, she likes Tiger Girl's personality and style of doing things.

Although the plague in Chaozhou has not been quelled, the city of Guangzhou is still very lively.

In particular, with the opening of the Nanyang route, the business of porcelain, cloth, raw silk, medicinal herbs and ironware became more and more prosperous, and more and more goods were transported from Guangzhou City to Haojing Wharf, and then sold from Haojing Wharf to Nanyang or Waguo.

The streets along the southern city wall are very lively, and you can smell the strong smell of meat when you walk in. There are special Cantonese barbecued pork, fragrant roast pork, and mouth-watering braised dog meat.

With the increasing prosperity of the Pearl River Wharf, the income of these lifu has increased, and the demand for meat has increased significantly. However, in this whole street, Lu Chunhua's field chicken shop business is undoubtedly the most popular.

"Bring me two catties of field chicken!"

Customers came out one after another, and the tables in the store were quickly filled.

Since the last time Lin Haoran came here to eat field chicken, it has brought prosperity to the business of this shop, not only ordinary coolies, but also some scholars who come here.

"Great! This living room inside please! This stir-fried chicken with wine is better, do you want bamboo leaves green or daughter red? A quick-witted guy greeted him, seemingly enthusiastically selling the drink.

With the booming business, the number of guys in the store has reached three, all of whom are villagers from Zhangjia Village in the east of the city, and some Zhangjia villagers caught field chickens and sent them to her.

is also the case, even if Lu Chunhua is in Zhangjia Village, she can still say something.

Lu Chunhua was wearing a water-green tight-fitting jacket with a white tight skirt underneath, showing her mature and feminine good figure. Beautiful willow eyebrows, a pair of charming Danfeng eyes, and a standard melon seed face are already known as "Tianji Shih" here.

"Zhang Jun, where are you lazy again? Hurry up and buy some oil for my mother! ”

Lu Chunhua was as hot as her figure, and she roared inside with her voice raised.

Zhang Jun is an old guy in the store, and after hearing this Hedong lion roar, he hurriedly ran out. I just watched the group walk out, but walked straight towards the boss lady, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Want my help?"

Lu Chunhua is very diligent and neat, and is busy putting oil in the iron pot, preparing to stir-fry the field chicken. It's just that I was surprised to hear that Hu Niu actually asked her for help.

It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she knows her own ability, and what the prefect's sister can't do, how can she be a peasant woman. Like the land and real estate she was occupied by her clansmen, if it weren't for Governor Lin to help her administer justice, how could she have come back so smoothly.

Hu Niu nodded seriously, and directly explained her intentions: "Yes! We're going to arrest Ding Lu's big villain, but Ding Lu has been hiding in the Yamen of the Judge and won't come out, we hope you can help lure him out! ”

"Hu Niu, is he really the murderer of the Leizhou bloodbath?" Lu Chunhua put down the shovel and looked at the tiger girl seriously and asked.

The fact that Ding Lu was the culprit of the Leizhou bloody case had already caused a stir in Guangzhou. Many people claimed that if it weren't for the serious problem of Chaozhou, Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, would have gone to Guangzhou City to try the case and directly convicted Ding Lu.

Hu Niu nodded very seriously and said: "He did it, we have already obtained the evidence, but it is only because no one has tried this case that we have not convicted Ding Lu until now!" ”

"I look at him...... It's not like that! Lu Chunhua frowned slightly, looking a little undecided.

Shen Yan immediately answered next to him: "People can't look at it!" If it weren't for Bao Qingtian, who would have thought that the dignified horse master would be a negative man who abandoned his wife and children? ”

"Okay, I'll help you!" As if she had figured out something, Lu Chunhua directly dropped the shovel, let the chicken in the pot turn paste, and strode inside.

When Hu Niu and the others saw Lu Chunhua behaving like this, they all felt puzzled for a while, and they didn't understand what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

After only a moment, Lu Chunhua handed them a piece of jade pendant and said confidently: "You take this jade pendant and ask him, he should come out!" ”

"It's his stuff?" Shen Yan took the jade pendant and found that this jade pendant was extraordinary.

Lu Chunhua nodded lightly and said, "Well, this is what he gave me!" He said that if I have something, as long as I rely on this jade pendant, he will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up! ”

Ay!

Shen Yan took the jade pendant and sighed softly, but she didn't expect that such a shrewd female shopkeeper would believe that evil young man's nonsense.

But now, they really don't have a better way, and they don't have a better candidate. Shen Yan glanced at Lu Chunhua twice, and found that this woman was indeed very tasteful, maybe that evil young man Ding Lu was really a sperm worm, so he was fished out by them.

At the beginning of March, it seemed to be followed by the turmoil in the capital.

After that postponement, the imperial decree was also issued to Guangdong. Although they did not blame Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, and Yan Rudou, the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, they ordered the two to do their best to resist the Japanese and to exterminate the Japanese as soon as possible.

At the same time, a holy decree also fell into the hands of Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou, who turned out to be in charge of the trial of the Leizhou bloody case.

This matter has to start with Zhang Guan, the imperial history of Guangdong, who used the power of the official to hear about the matter. After hearing that the Leizhou bloody case involved the son of Ding Yizhong, he immediately wrote a letter to impeach Ding Yizhong for committing murder, and proposed that the Leizhou bloody case be tried by Wang Fu himself.

Generally speaking, the imperial court would definitely agree to Zhang Guan's suggestion. But things are very unfortunate, there was a large-scale invasion of the Japanese in Chaozhou, and through the extension of the proposal, the governor of Liangguang Wang Fang made every effort to suppress the Japanese.

Since Wang Fan had to deal with the Chaozhou war with all his might, and the new governor Yushi was on the way, he finally adopted the opinion of a Guangdong official and asked Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou, to try the case instead.

Lin Haoran was born in Wenkui, known as a criminal name, and his rank has been ranked as the fourth grade, and he used to be the prefect of Leizhou who is more familiar with the case, so it is the most suitable person for him to try this case with full authority.

is also the case, after some thought, the imperial court actually handed over the Leizhou blood case to Lin Haoran for trial.

"There's a good show to watch now!"

"I don't know if Ding Yizhong wants to plant it, or if Lin Haoran returns in vain?"

"Huh...... I only know that no matter what the result is, the most proud one will definitely be Yan Rudou! ”

……

As soon as the news came out, it caused widespread discussion.

There are also knowledgeable people who know that Lin Haoran and Ding Yizhong are allies. Now the alliance is destined to fall apart, and the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Yan Rudou, who will be the final winner in the Xiangshan New Town.

To the surprise of many people, Lin Haoran didn't seem to have any intention of showing mercy to this ally's subordinates. After receiving the holy decree, the officials of the Guangzhou government office dispatched one after another, and rushed directly to the yamen of the judge.

According to the judge, it is a three-grade yamen, and its status is naturally above the Guangzhou government. It's just that Lin Haoran has a holy purpose, and although he came forward to obstruct it according to the judge's errand, he couldn't stop the menacing errand from taking Ding Lu away.

The Leizhou bloody case is more complicated, because after all, the place of the incident is in Leizhou, and it takes a lot of time to summon witnesses from Leizhou alone, and the case was not officially tried until mid-March.

On this day, when I heard that Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou, was going to try the evil young man Ding Lu publicly, the entire city of Guangzhou was in a sensation, and the people of Guangzhou City rushed to the Guangzhou Mansion one after another.

It's just that the Guangzhou government can accept only a limited number of people, so many people can only stand in the square in front of the door and wait for news. Although they couldn't witness Ding Lu's expression when he was sentenced, they were all unwilling to leave easily, and they all hoped to get the news of Ding Lu's sentence of beheading as soon as possible.

The Leizhou bloody case, which has been debated for so long, seems to be coming to a successful end today.
