found that everyone ignored the basic line of a book, that is, Xiao Chitose's first love was Kebaba, not Wu Xiuzhi.

In order to enrich China's script, my father-in-law also did his best and made the greatest sacrifice.

I hope Feng Menglong can write "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Hundred Treasure Chests" based on this.

………

The news of Sister Xiuzhi's surrender to the river, Liangchen learned about it three days later.

It was delivered by Kuazhou quickly.

Everyone who does the work knows that Miss Wu is a good friend of Father-in-law Wei in the past, or Father-in-law Wei specially ordered her to be sent to Yangzhou, but now she jumped into the river and drowned. If you change horses or not, you have to hand over the news to Grandpa Wei's desk as soon as possible.

When the informant arrived, Wei Gongcheng was surveying a new site for his eunuch yamen in Jiangnan Town.

Now it is different from the past, the emperor a holy decree, in the south of the Yangtze River to set up a town to guard the eunuch yamen, but also transferred Dongchang and Jinyi Wei each hundred lieutenants (fanzi) for the town guard yamen to dispatch, the palace also selected seven Fengyu to prepare the town guard yamen, this institution instantly changed guns, became extremely tall.

The Admiral Maritime Yamen, which was rebuilt in Wusong Shuiying, must not be able to bear the façade of the eunuch yamen mansion, so it is necessary to build a large, beautiful, and particularly magnificent town guard yamen, so as to be worthy of the emperor's incomparable trust in Gonggong Wei.

The drawings were designed by Wei Gonggong himself, it is a six-storey building, each floor is planned to move into the department, with two three-storey small buildings, with a total construction area of about eight acres of land, for this reason, the father-in-law specially ordered the treasury to allocate one hundred and sixty taels of silver to the owner of the plot. Converted into about 20 taels of silver per mu of land, this price is about the same as the current land price in Jiangnan.

The landlord refused to accept it, saying that it was rare for the father-in-law of the town guard to take a fancy to his family's plot to build a yamen, which was a blessing that his family had cultivated for several lifetimes, and he should donate the land, and he could not collect money.

Gonggong Wei must have appreciated the high consciousness of the landlord, but for the sake of long-term consideration, he still forced the landlord to accept the money for the purchase of the land, and at the same price to buy all the hundreds of acres of land around the town guard yamen, but for the time being, each family still had to plant or rent the seeds.

I was puzzled, and asked my father-in-law why he had to buy all the plots around the town guard yamen.

As the public said, the hundred-year plan is to give priority to development.

After that, he didn't say anything more, but just asked the people below to do it. When encountering a landlord who refuses to sell, he can take some accommodating measures to ensure that the matter is satisfactorily resolved.

With the spread of the news that the emperor had set up the Jiangnan Town to guard the yamen, the morale of the military and civilians in the maritime special zone has been completely settled, and the number of businessmen who have settled in or come to inquire after the year has also increased compared with last year, and some trade has begun to operate, and the whole is thriving.

The focus of my father-in-law's current work must be the first step in the construction of the town guard yamen and the expansion of the sea in the southeast.

Repairing the yamen is a good thing, not a bad thing, let alone a waste of manpower and material resources, but a real thing that must be done.

Just like the princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in his father-in-law's previous life, which one did not repair the palace after being crowned king?

It is Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Li Shixian, Wang Haiyang and other rising stars, don't they start building the palace immediately after they are crowned kings?

Are these people really trying to live comfortably?

The answer is clearly not.

There is only one purpose of overhauling the palace, and that is to tell the world who is guarding this place and whose territory it is.

More precisely, the establishment of responsibilities.

The father-in-law is now promoted to the eunuch of Jiangnan Town, and nominally dozens of prefectures and counties in the four prefectures and counties of Jiangnan have the right to intervene except for Ying Tianfu. Regardless of civil affairs or military affairs, these prefectures and counties must also report to the governor of Chengyingtian, and report to the yamen of his father-in-law Wei.

This is the first time that Wanli has really delegated power since Liangchen ran for Wanli Saddle Horse for nearly two years. With the name of this Jiangnan town guard eunuch, Gonggong Wei can plan everything justifiably, and can allocate manpower and material resources in Jiangnan. And those officials who oppose him can no longer directly card the neck of the special zone, but must cooperate. All they can do is sue the way.

Although he, the eunuch guarding the town in Jiangnan, is only a six-grade eunuch and still wears a green robe, the nature of the town guarding the yamen is here, and no one dares to take him Wei Gonggong in his eyes as before.

Of the seven Fengyu transferred from the palace, two were transferred from the internal officials and supervisors, and they were regarded as the original direct subordinates of Gonggong Wei. Three were from the priest's office, and the other two, one from the clerical office and one from the treasure bank.

The oldest is the clerk, named Cao Hua, a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, who is forty-three this year. I have been copying books in the clerical room for twenty-four years, and it is not easy to see him above, he is old, and if he doesn't release it out, his life will be ruined, so he is ranked first on the list.

According to the rules, the first place on the list is to serve as the yamen guard of Jiangnan Town, but if it can not be done, it depends on whether the town guard eunuch likes it.

Gong Wei took the school examination for this Cao Hua, asked a few words casually, and asked him to write a few lines, and then nodded in approval and ordered Cao Hua to serve as a guard.

Under the guard, there are two guards and two guns.

Separately, he is the daily official of the town guarding the affairs of the yamen, which is equivalent to the position of "secretary", one is in charge of the expenses of the town guarding the yamen, and the other is in charge of the personnel of the town guarding the yamen.

Gun supervisors are armed officers. On weekdays, he is responsible for the training of officers and soldiers guarding the yamen, and goes out with the town guard in wartime.

Although my father-in-law has his own ideas about the candidates for preparation and gun supervision. You know, there are more than a dozen eunuchs under his command. However, the list was set by the celebrant supervisor, and he was a new official, so he couldn't offend those big people in the palace, so he appointed them one by one according to the number of places on the list.

Chen Cheng and Huang Jinbao are prepared; Du Guang and Wu Xun are the guns in prison.

Yu Zhaobao and Zhang Jinwen are the attendants of the town guards.

He also ordered Cao Hua to take general responsibility, divide the responsibilities of the division, and implement the construction of the town guard yamen.

According to the current building conditions, it is not difficult to build a six-story building, the bottom three floors are based on bricks and stones, and the upper three floors are built with wooden tiles.

In addition to the 300 people from the navy's left-behind fleet, the construction personnel also recruited more than 40 private craftsmen and more than 200 people, and the construction period was set for two months.

After that, the father-in-law met with the factory guards assigned to him by the emperor.

The surname of the team led by Dongchang is Xiangfang, and he is a hereditary test hundred, but he is burly, and his speech is also loud, but he doesn't know how he is.

Jinyiwei led the team by Tian Gang, an acquaintance of Wei Gonggong, who also went south as a test for a hundred households, and brought not only from Beizhen, but also dozens of people from Nanzhen.

Gonggong Wei estimated that Tian Ergeng must have done something, otherwise Tian Gang would not have been sent to him.

Tian Gang was excited that he was following Father-in-law Wei again, and Qi Xiangfang might have heard on the side that Tian Gang had gone north to Liaodong with Father-in-law Wei, so he didn't care.

After a few words with the lieutenants (Fanzi), Gonggong Wei asked one person to reward five taels of silver, and then ordered someone to take them to resettle. Due to the shortage of barracks, it was temporarily arranged with his personal guard battalion.

A large part of the lieutenants (Fanzi) are going south for the first time, and they are full of curiosity about Jiangnan and the new town guard father-in-law in front of them, they are from the factory guards, and some legends about Wei Gonggong must have heard some, especially Dongchang's side has also clashed with Wei Gonggong in Zuo'anmen, naturally many people are worried, afraid that this Wei Gonggong will give them small shoes to wear.

I don't want Grandpa Wei to be approachable, treat them equally, and give them a reward when they meet for the first time, which makes them happy.

Gonggong Wei originally wanted to have a few drinks with Tian Gang and ask about the situation in Jingli. This time, Wanli suddenly promoted him to the post of Jiangnan town guard, and there must be a lot of inside information involved, and the good ministers can't help but understand it clearly. At the very least, he has to know who supports him and who opposes him.

But at this moment, the people from Guazhou arrived in the report.

Wu Xiuzhi's death made Liangchen's face a little unsightly on the spot, and his spirit was much weaker. He waved his sleeves and motioned for the group to stand down, and then he was alone by the river and floated with stones.

He blamed himself, because if it weren't for him, Wu Xiuzhi would not have died.

From the time he wrote a secret letter to the Zhao family in Yangzhou, Sister Xiuzhi, who was destined to grow up with his father-in-law Wei since childhood, would not have a good ending.

This is determined by Sister Xiuzhi's character.

It is not so much that the people of the Zhao family forced Sister Xiuzhi to death, but that it was him, Wei Liangchen, who personally forced Sister Xiuzhi to death.

Let's talk about feelings, it seems that there is really no relationship between him and Sister Xiuzhi.

The feeling of unrequited love in the past now seems to be just wishful thinking on his part.

Perhaps, Sister Xiuzhi's death is a good thing for both parties.

The only thing that is difficult to cross is that Liangchen is really sorry for Wu Fuzi.

It's a pity that Sister Xiuzhi will never understand the true meaning of Liangchen's words.

The secrets of the world can only be hidden in the hearts of those closest to them.

A woman who has changed her mind, a woman who can abandon her man for the sake of a greasy and powdery girl, although Liangchen wants to believe her, but reason does not allow him to do so.

"Whew!"

After taking a long breath, the stone in his sight floated a few times on the water surface and sank into the water, never to be seen again, just like Sister Xiuzhi who drowned in the river.

Liangchen looked fixedly at the surface of the river without rippling water lines, and after a long time, he raised his hand, beckoned the person to be interrogated, and asked him lightly: "Has Jiang Yilang ever been martyred?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, Jiang Yilang has never thrown himself into the river with Miss Wu, and this will fall into the hands of the Zhao family."

"It's a pair of mandarin ducks, why don't they live together and live alone in the world, like the walking dead, what's the meaning." Gonggong Wei snorted slightly, and instructed the informant: "You and tell the Zhao family, our family's meaning, Jiang Yilang is inherently guilty, but since our family promised Miss Wu to spare his life, he can't break his word." It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and the Zhao family has to suffer from him. ”

…………

Yangzhou, Zhao Mansion.

After listening to what the messenger said, Zhao Shengjie, the head of the family, couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, yes, it's the old man's negligence." How can such a person not suffer some hardships? ”

Zhao Fu on the side hurriedly asked, "Father, what kind of hardships should you ask him to suffer?" ”

"What's the trouble?"

Zhao Shengjie paced a few steps with his hands in his hand, and when he had an idea, he turned to his son and said: "All evil and fornication are the head, then Jiang Yilang has today, and it is all the disasters caused by the six impurities, why don't you call him the six roots pure... Speaking of which, it was still cheaper for him, that is, Gonggong Wei was kind and trustworthy, and if he changed the old man, he would have sunk him in the river. ”
