Chapter 247: Going North to Offer Prisoners
April in the world is full of flowers.
In a blink of an eye, it is early summer, the weather gradually becomes hot, at noon, the fierce sun scorches the earth, the streets of Nanchang City are pedestrians and shops, and it seems to have restored the prosperity of the past.
However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the wounds brought by this rebellion to the people of Jiangxi are far from being recovered, and the war directly caused more than 100,000 casualties, and I don't know how many families have been torn apart because of this, and I don't know how many people have been displaced because of it......
As the so-called plan of the year lies in the spring, the farming society that relies on the sky to eat, and there is no way to make up for the missed agricultural time, this year, the people of Jiangxi are destined to tighten their belts and endure hardship.
In addition, the punishment of King Ning's rebellion is still continuing, and people are arrested almost every few days for this, and the major prison cells in Nanchang City are already overcrowded. This is still the result of Wang Shouren's restrictions being expanded, and it is really necessary to thoroughly investigate and investigate, and I am afraid that more people will be implicated.
At noon, Erniu drove a carriage to stop in front of the Nanchang County Yamen, Xu Jin got off the carriage sweatingly, walked quickly to the county office, directly through the first hall and the second hall, and returned to the third hall behind the county office.
"The master is back!"
A subordinate who was cleaning the courtyard immediately stood up to greet Xu Jin when he saw him, Xu Jin was now so thirsty that his throat was smoking, he nodded slightly and walked into the hall quickly, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured it into the spout very unfiguratively, sweat flowing down his neck like rain.
"Hey, sir, how can you drink cold tea, it's not good for your health, don't drink it!"
At this time, a girl who was about eighteen or nineteen years old came in with a bowl of sour plum syrup, and when she saw this, she hurriedly put down the sugar water and quickly stepped forward to grab the teapot.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "I'm thirsty!" ”
Yahuan said with a little disgust: "Master, the slave maid has prepared sour plum syrup for you!" ”
This maid is the one who was rejected when she wanted to serve Xu Jin to take a bath, her name is Liu Er, she has taken care of Xu Jin's daily life and diet for more than a month, and they are already familiar with each other a lot, plus Xu Jin has a good temper and has no shelf, otherwise Liu Er would not have the courage to grab the teapot.
Liu Er brought the sour plum syrup to Xu Jin, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat while playing a fan.
Xu Jin took a sip of sour plum syrup, and said comfortably: "This weather can heat up a person." ”
Carefully calculated, Xu Jin has been in office for more than a month, during this time he has been the shopkeeper most of the time, and has thrown all his official duties to the new county lord and the lord, and he is hiding in the back office to study, and he goes to Yuzhang Academy every once in a while to audit, or participate in the literary meeting or something, it can be said that this county order is very incompetent.
Some people even sued Wang Shouren, saying that Xu Jin was "derelict in his duties", but Wang Shouren only opened his eyes to this and obviously adopted a laissez-faire attitude, so Xu's county order was quite relaxed.
However, a few days ago, Wang Shouren suddenly assigned Xu Jin to do one thing, that is, to prepare a large number of prisoner cars, because he wanted to take King Ning north to sacrifice prisoners.
It is said that when the Son of Japan had arrived in Linqing, Shandong, and Jiang Bin, the eunuch Zhang Zhong and others who accompanied him were encouraging the Son of Heaven to go to Nanchang, and then release Zhu Chenhao for the Son of Heaven to catch him again.
You must know that the people of Jiangxi only experienced a major flood last year, and this year suffered from the rebellion of King Ning, if the Son of Heaven comes to Nanchang again, it will inevitably cost the people and money, and make matters worse, how can the people of Jiangxi afford it?
What's more, Jiang Bin and others actually wanted to let Zhu Chenhao go and let the Son of Heaven arrest him, such a ridiculous thing, how could Wang Shouren agree, so while the Son of Heaven had not yet arrived, he planned to personally take Zhu Chenhao north to offer prisoners, and block the foolish emperor Zhu Houzhao back halfway, lest he come to harm the people of Jiangxi.
So these days, Xu Jin is busy preparing prisoner cars, and there are as many as 1,000 prisoners in the Ning Wang line alone, not to mention the family members of such backbone prisoners such as Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, and the number of prisoner cars to prepare can be imagined, so Xu County Ling has been busy these days.
Fortunately, today is finally over, Wang Shouren personally led thousands of soldiers, escorted King Ning and the prisoners to leave Nanchang and go north.
"Master, your clothes are soaked with sweat, why don't you prepare water for you to bathe and change into clean clothes!" Liu Er proposed while playing a fan for Xu Jin.
Sweaty and stained, it was indeed very uncomfortable, Xu Jin nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Liu Er couldn't help but be secretly happy, and secretly made up her mind that she would be cheeky and serve the master to take a bath later.
As the saying goes, people love beauty, men like beautiful women, and women naturally like handsome guys. Xu Jin was originally a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, not to mention that he was still a talented man in Lian Zhongxiao Sanyuan, who was fifteen years old on behalf of Nanchang Zhixian, and was undoubtedly the wishful man that a woman dreamed of.
Liu Er serves Xu Jin by her side every day, and she gets the moon first near the water, so it is inevitable that she will not start the careful thinking of the girl's family, and even if she dreams, she wants to have something to do with the master. Of course, Liu Er is still self-aware, and she doesn't dare to think high, and she is satisfied that she can be a concubine for Xu Jin.
Xu Jin didn't know that the maidservant behind him was pondering about "overlord hard bow" to him, drinking sugar water comfortably, and suddenly stood up in surprise.
Liu Er was stunned for a moment, and looked outside, as long as the group was walking in.
"Xianggong!"
"Sir!"
As soon as the words fell, two beautiful girls rushed in like butterflies.
"Xiaowan, Xianggong has finally looked forward to you!" Xu Jin stepped forward quickly, opened his arms and hugged Xie Xiaowan tightly.
Xie Xiaowan hugged Xu Jindi emotionally, her petite body was about to hang on Xu Jin's body, her pretty face was flushed, she had been separated for nearly two months, this little girl was worried about her stomach every day, and she wanted to die!
Mei Wan Yue'er stood aside with a sweet smile, her eyes were both gentle and envious. Dabao and Xie Erjian walked in with their burdens and luggage, the former smiled, but the latter was a little embarrassed, looking at his sister and brother-in-law hugging as if no one was around, I felt very twisted!
It is said that ten days ago, Xu Jin sent Dabao and Xie Erjian back to Leadshan County to pick up Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er, because they wanted to send their father-in-law and mother-in-law back to Yugan County by the way, so they only arrived now.
Liu Er looked at Xie Xiaowan, who was hugging Xu Jin, and was dumbfounded, daring to love this is Mrs., it's really beautiful, and then looking at the sweet-looking pretty maid Yue'er next to her, she was even more shocked, and lowered her head in frustration, and at the same time regretted why she didn't "act" earlier, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!
Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan hugged for a while before parting, and said with a smile: "It's hard second brother, Dabao, take the second brother down to rest, Liu'er, tell the kitchen to prepare meals!" ”
Liu Er sighed and retreated, Yue'er glanced vigilantly, I have to say that a woman's intuition is sometimes really powerful, especially when she meets a competitor, Mei Er has obviously noticed something, and asked: "Master, is this Liu Er serving you during this time?" ”
Xu Jin was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Yue'er pouted and said, "The master is covered in stinky sweat, it can be seen that Liu Er is also a master who can't serve people, don't let her in in the future!" ”
Xu Jin laughed and said, "What's wrong?" Afraid you'll lose your job? ”
Yue'er's face turned red, and she said a little gagged: "No, if the master likes her to serve, then let her serve you in the future, and people will go to the kitchen to be a fire girl." ”
Xu Jin laughed hesitantly: "Okay, I'll tease you, the master won't let Liu'er serve in the future!" ”
Yue'er turned her anger into joy at this time, and happily picked up her luggage and walked to the bedroom, Xie Xiaowan glanced at her husband.
