Dr. Tea unexpectedly shouted at the top of his voice, and immediately hit a thunderbolt in mid-air, countless faces were raised, and countless pairs of eyes flashed: "Is it really Qin Qingtian who has arrived at my Wuwangzhai?" ”

"Liu Laogen, don't make a mistake, legend has it that Chief Qin is the reincarnation of Bao Longtu, with a face like the bottom of a pot and a crescent moon on his forehead......"

"He's really Qin Qingtian! Fenglingdu is the one who speaks for our fathers and fellow villagers, or he will be showered in heavy rain. ”

A young man was leading an old man here, and suddenly the old man's eyes were straight, and the burden he was carrying fell to the ground.

The old man came from Puzhou to visit relatives, the young man was his nephew, and he thought he had a stroke, so he quickly pinched others: "Uncle, uncle-mother, quickly burn ginger soup!" ”

"I'm fine," the old man broke away from his nephew, looked at Qin Lin from a distance, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "Oh mom, it turns out that he is Qin Qingtian!" That day I was digging in the ground, he was a fairy daughter-like girl, and asked me about my livelihood from farming, I casually said that Zhou Papi is not a thing, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...... It's an eye-opener! ”

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Qin Lin knocked down Zhang Yunling and Zhang Siwei, thundered and thundered like lightning to destroy the Jin Shang Chief's Young Master's Mansion, and shook the Sanjin Pass, now he is no longer the black eyes when he first arrived in Puzhou, the people heard the name of Qin Qingtian, and they all rushed to tell each other, and took the initiative to come to redress their grievances.

Soon, the tea shed where Qin Lin was located was surrounded by people on the third floor and the outer three floors, and the fathers and villagers were talking about their grievances and the pain they had suffered over the years, and they poured out their minds to Qin Qingtian, and a few aunts and aunts even couldn't cry.

Qin Lin didn't need to deliberately win the hearts of the people at all, in this era of strict hierarchy, as long as he put on a gentle smile and made a promise to enforce the law impartially, he would have gained countless people's tears and gratitude.

Yin Binshang temporarily served as the criminal master, and took the table in the tea shed as a public case, and spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to record the people's complaints, these cases of the powerful and inferior gentry and the common people, either robbed the daughter-in-law of the family to be a maid ring, and hung her neck the next day, or she forced the field rent, and beat the tenants to be injured and vomit blood, the case is very simple and clear.

Qin Lin looked at the case file on the table that was getting thicker, and his eyes fell on a few figures on the dirt fence of the mansion not far away, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Dexin stood on the third floor of the Tuweizi attic, looking at the scene of the elders and villagers on the other side of the tea shed, his face was sometimes blue, sometimes white, the young man with Erlang's legs, just a casual glance made his heart beat like a drum.

Zhou Dexin's name is very undeserved, he has neither virtue nor good reputation, but because of his excessive exploitation and ruthlessness, he was nicknamed Zhou Papi by the people behind his back, and he is notorious for his reputation in ten miles and eight towns.

Qin Lin overthrew the Young Master's Mansion, Zhang Gongyu implemented the new policy, Wang Ma, Yang and Shen Si were silent, and some small and medium-sized powerful landlords were afraid, and handed over the money and grain accumulated over the years to three or five percent, seven or eight percent.

However, there are also many people who think that the accumulation of arrears is not a single household, which is a malaise accumulated over more than ten years or even decades. The crime of the Young Master's Mansion is to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, not to resist the payment of arrears, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 gentry in arrears and taxes in the country, but I am afraid that the government will not be able to control it. At the same time, the movements of the imperial court are not clear, maybe Qin Lin and Zhang Gongyu will be unlucky tomorrow, so the arrears handed over now are not very wronged?

Zhou Dexin thought so, and did so, Linjin Zhixian sent a post to urge, he fooled the past with a few words, Nazhi County has shallow qualifications, and he was selected for the examination, and his waist is not very hard, so he died down, and seemed to be blocked back by him.

Unexpectedly, he provoked Qin Lin, a evil star, Zhou Dexin secretly complained to himself, he was not arrogant enough to think that with his own strength, he could fight against Qin Lin who had defeated the Young Master's Mansion.

"Xia Pei, this bastard, he must have sued Diao!" A steward of the Zhou family scolded viciously, which immediately caused a resonance on the wall.

Xia Pei is the magistrate of the county, Zhou Dexin didn't have the time to find out who sued Diao at this time, his eyes rolled, and while ordering the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift, he led a few brothers down the wall: "Go, we will meet that Qin Qingtian!" ”

The middle door of Tuweizi was wide open, Zhou Dexin wore a seven-grade civil official uniform and led the crowd out, the brothers of the Zhou family and the head stewards followed him, and their expressions were not too nervous, the Zhou family was second only to Wang Ma, Yang and Shen The four first-class gentry, the previous generation also had an idle waiter in Nanjing, and the characters on everyone's official face have also seen a lot.

The fathers and villagers who were originally spitting bitter water around the tea shed, saw Zhou Dexin leading the crowd out, and immediately avoided both sides like afraid of snakes and scorpions, giving way to a large area in the middle.

Zhou Dexin was far away, and he smiled and shook his head to the ground: "Zhou Dexin, the secretary of the lower cabinet, has seen Qin Lin and Qin Chief!" ”

Several of his brothers also saluted: "Mark Zhou Defang, the inspection department of Wuwangzhai, and give a salute to Chief Qin!" ”

"Student Zhou Derui, Longqing Gengwu Imperial Examination ......"

Several brothers and nephews of the Zhou family have reported their resumes, none of them are white, and they have donated to the prison students, and they are all dressed up at the moment, like a group of well-dressed beasts.

Of course, in the eyes of the old party Qingliu such as Zhao Yingyuan, Wang Yongji, Gu Xiancheng and other generations, this is called a scholarly family, and the origin of family learning, it is worth climbing the friendship of the same family and the same country in the same year, and then recounting the year, and then the old gentleman, the uncle and the brother are called together.

Even if the local civil officials are in charge, they can only stand up when they encounter this posture and say a few words about the old gentleman for the benefit of Sang Zi for a long time.

But Qin Lin didn't, Hang Erlang sat on the bench, swaying Erlang's legs, slowly blowing the bubbling hot air with a teacup, and didn't pinch him with his eyelids.

A few of the brothers of the Zhou family were angry, Zhou Dexin's face turned red, his hand waved behind him, and he still said respectfully: "Hearing that General Qin is coming, Zhou has missed the welcome, it is really a sin!" The north wind is getting cooler, and the tea shed is not a place to sit for a long time, so he dared to invite General Qin to enter the bad house for a while, and slightly control the water and wine to wash the dust for the general. ”

After that, Zhou Dexin raised his head and looked around with a smile.

Don't look at the people who complained just now, after all, they were intimidated by his accumulation, and those standing in front couldn't stand up and retreated, and their faces became extremely ugly, and some people muttered in their hearts, saying that General Qin was an official of the imperial court after all, in case he helped Zhou Dexin, wouldn't what we did just now kill themselves?

"No, no, Qin Qingtian definitely won't!" All the people who have seen Qin Lin in Fenglingdu and Puzhou have very high expectations for him.

Qin Lin slowly put the teacup on the table, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Dexin, gently patted the grievances transcribed by Yin Binshang, and said unhurriedly: "Zhou Dexin, are you guilty?" ”

Zhou Dexin's face was not good-looking, he didn't expect Qin Lin to be so faceless, his face turned red, but after all, he still held back, waved his hand behind him, and the housekeeper who had just hurried from the mansion put a stack of papers in his hand.

"Enlighten Chief Qin, let Zhou tell the situation," Zhou Dexin bent down and presented a few pieces of paper to Qin Lin.

Oh? Qin Lin took it and looked at it, and laughed: "One hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, one hundred pieces of Shu brocade, and one hundred ends of silk and satin...... Tsk tsk, this gift is not light! ”

Zhou Dexin's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and Qin Lin read it out in public, what this means in officialdom is self-evident.

The fathers and villagers didn't understand the way of officialdom, and when they heard Qin Lin read a lot of gifts, they were all valuable things that they couldn't think of, and when they saw him talking to Zhou Dexin with a smile, it was inevitable that there would be a misunderstanding, and many people sighed for a long time.

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and Yin Binshang laughed and fell, don't say that Chief Qin is not greedy for money, even if he is greedy for money, the Zhou family's handwriting is too small, relying on the dividends of the Cao Gang and Wufeng Maritime Merchants, Chief Qin's hair is thicker than this, and he can afford this "heavy gift" of the Zhou family?

Sure enough, Qin Lin smiled and put the gift list and the stack of grievances together, and the Zhou family was full of inexplicability, but they listened to him say slowly: "Okay, there are many more charges of bribing the court officials." ”

I see, the people shouted hello and relieved their anger.

"What kind of court official are you!" Among the brothers of the Zhou family, Zhou Defang, who had the most short temper, jumped three feet high, and said angrily: "A captain in brocade clothes who has no job and no quality dares to call himself an official of the imperial court, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!" ”

Zhou Derui arched his hand, his mouth full of yin and yang: "The student doesn't know what rank Chief Qin is, and what position does the yamen hold where?" Our Wuwangzhai belongs to Linjin County, did you take over as the prefect of Linjin County, or the prefect of Pingyang? ”

"Second brother, third brother, don't do this!" Zhou Dexin pretended to be sincerely afraid, but did not really stop the two brothers.

Zhou Defang shouted directly, Zhou Derui asked viciously, Qin Lin is a military attache in brocade, where will he be the prefect of the county? This is a slap in the face to him.

Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali had cold faces, looking at the Zhou family with sympathetic eyes, as if looking at a group of dead ghosts, while Yin Binshang licked his lips with a smile of ruthlessness.

"Well, Qin Mou is neither the prefect of Linjin nor the prefect of Pingyang, so he really can't control your case," Qin Lin paused when he said this, looked at Zhou Dexin and smiled: "But your crime is obvious, as a Jinyi official school, I came to collect evidence on the orders of my boss, can't you?" Mr. Yin, you go and take a look at the south road, Zhang Dutang's fire card should have arrived. ”

Hiss~~ Everyone in the Zhou family took a breath of cool air, Zhang Gongyu, as the deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of Shanxi and the governor of Yanmen, and other military affairs, went on the horse to manage the army and dismounted to manage the people, held the law enforcement power, and in an emergency, he could kill people if he asked for the king's flag, but he was still Qin Lin's brother!

"Wash your neck and wait for death!" Qin Lin laughed, he was not in a hurry to do it himself, anyway, the Qingtian Lord who was not afraid of the strong and strong, clear as water and as bright as a mirror was Zhang Gongyu Zhang Dutang.

But Yin Binshang did not bring Zhang Gongyu or Zhang Gongyu's fire card, but led Gui Youhua and several eunuchs, and a team of Dongchang fans wearing brown shirts and pointed hats.

Gui Youhua is the general banner of Puzhou Jinyi, he used to oppose Qin Lin under Zhang Yunling's door, and later cried blood and knelt down to beg to change to Qin Lin, at this moment his expression was quite strange, his eyes flickered, and he had a great worry: This group of people brought the will of the Jingshi to pass on to Qin Lin, but they all had a straight face, no matter how they asked, they refused to confide even half a word, Mo No, Mo wasn't sent by the Jingshi to arrest Qin Lin? Even his old brother Zhang Dutang didn't send anyone here, but only asked himself to lead the way......

Gui Zongqi couldn't help but start worrying about his fate.

Zhou Dexin laughed, pointing at Qin Lin and laughing so much that he couldn't even straighten his waist, and the brothers of the Zhou family also completely relaxed, and said unscrupulously: "What kind of thing, still come to us to be the No. 1 person, hum, was asked by Dongchang to enter Beijing, hurry up and burn incense to worship the Bodhisattva, and beg not to give birth to animals in the next life!" ”

There are fixed rules for the Ming Dynasty to pass the decree, the holy decree issued to the general vassals and ordinary officials, is generally issued by the pedestrian department, the rank of the official and the important surname involved in the matter is promoted, then by the six chiefs, Lang Zhong level officials to issue the decree, if it is the army after the great victory of the class teacher, or canonization of the prince, the prince, the prince of the country, it is often by the Shangshu Shilang and other high-ranking officials to go.

Of course, there are often eunuchs and envoys who accompany them.

If there are only eunuchs, this will is mostly a central decree - the formal procedure of the cabinet vote, the emperor's approval, and the refutation of the six departments is the holy decree, and if the emperor directly orders it, it can only be called the middle decree. When the civil official received the decree, he felt that the decree was not his appetite, so he could play his temper and say, "This is the decree of the central decree, and the minister will not obey the edict", but the military minister is not so good, and the decree must also be obeyed, otherwise nine heads will be cut off.

Only eunuchs issued the decree, without any civil servants, Zhou Dexin is familiar with the imperial court system, and knows that this decree is the middle decree.

It's just the decree, just ask who the officials of the Ming Dynasty are most afraid of seeing when they receive the decree? It must be Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi. If there is also a factory guard eagle dog with the will, there is basically only one meaning: the emperor is going to arrest you and put you in prison!

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is wise, you have issued an edict to arrest the person surnamed Qin!" The stewards of the Zhou family laughed, and they were arrogant to the extreme.

The people looked at each other, did they really want to take Qin Qingtian's lock into Beijing? Many people are full of popularity, and some people are secretly crying, and they all believe the matter: after all, many people have heard the legend that the great loyal minister Qin Qingtian was the one who carried the coffin and died, and was degraded from the court staff of the Beijing master, so the emperor still holds a grudge and locks him into Beijing, of course, it is very logical.

A peasant woman clutched the child's clothes tightly, her face full of confusion: "How can you be, how can you be on the ground?" Qin Qingtian is a good official, we are all pointing at him, why do you want to arrest him? ”

"There are annihilators in the court!" The old farmer who came to visit relatives in Puzhou rubbed his hands and sobbed lowly, and bitter tears flowed on the old face of the ravine.

"God has no eyes!" More people beat their chests and feet, and they were angry for a while.

Guanzhong has been tired for a long time, and a few years later, in the year of the catastrophe, the same resentment rose to the sky, a husband raised his arms and shouted, and ten thousand people rose up, so the mandate of heaven changed, and the dynasty fell.

Qin Lin was secretly frightened, as if on their faces, he saw the angry faces after a few years, if these faces that still had feelings became numb and became indifferent to life and death, then the world would be irreparable! Thankfully, there's still time.

Yin Binshang nodded again and again, the people's hearts are like water, the dynasty is like a boat, and water can carry a boat and overturn a boat......

The eunuch who passed the decree was a chief eunuch in the twenty-four yamen, Qin Lin recognized him, called Li Tianfu, of course, his power could not catch up with the second eunuch, and even worse than Zhang Xiaoyang, but he also had to be regarded as a big eunuch with a head and a face.

The brothers and stewards of the Zhou family were scolding at Qin Lin, Li Tianfu looked quite surprised, then smiled strangely, and then turned his face and said in a deep voice: "Qin Lin, prepare to receive the order." ”

The imperial court system, receiving the order is not to kneel down and kowtow to finish, but also to put an incense case to salute, Li Tianfu said just look around, this tea shed is too simple, there is nothing, he can't help but hesitate.

"This angel, there are incense burners and dragon cards in the house," Zhou Dexin nodded and flattered Li Tianfu, and then turned around and scolded: "What kind of eyesight, don't go and take things out quickly!" ”

Zhou Papi's family was looking forward to Qin Lin's bad luck soon, so they hurriedly went back and took out the incense case, incense burner and other things, and arranged everything neatly outside the tea shed, and teased Qin Lin with a gun and a stick in his mouth.

Qin Lin, who was in the center of the whirlpool, didn't seem to be in a hurry, and saluted in front of the incense case step by step.

Li Tianfu first looked at the Beijing master to salute, and then unfolded the holy decree to read: "Zha Jinyi Lieutenant Qin, the original great merit to the country, because of the vain words to deceive the king and the loss of the courtiers, dismissed all the part-time divisions to degrade out of Beijing, the staff is not frustrated, diligent and thrifty, in the remote and hard-working royal affairs, ordered by the emperor to investigate Zhang Yunling and his son to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, recruit the two Tibetan Dharma kings to return, and dedicate the policy of reopening the Western Regions to spread the imperial authority of the country, and all the ministers and workers are trying to protect it, and I also found out that the member is loyal to the heart of his life, and he specially opened the restoration of the original and all the functions, plus the governor of the left capital, and the governor of the Qincha Dongchang official school! ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" Qin Lin took the holy decree.

What, Governor East Factory? Everyone present was stunned, Zhou Papi's family felt a chill to the bone, and the people couldn't turn around for a while: Didn't you say that you want to lock up Qin Qingtian, why did you become the governor of Dongchang again? I heard that the Governor of Dongchang is some fierce and terrifying demons, but Qin Qingtian is a loyal minister!

Li Tianfu immediately changed his face as soon as he passed the holy decree, and bowed to Qin Lin with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

All the Dongchang fans brushed and bowed down, and shouted in unison: "My subordinates knock on Lord Qin!" ”

The north wind blew strongly, the fallen leaves were Xiao Xiao, and suddenly a killing atmosphere arose.

Qin Lin laughed, and said in his heart that at this time, should he look up to the sky and smile, very arrogant and arrogant to dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of years? Uh, forget it, pretend to be struck by lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, Captain Qin became the Lord of Qin, Zhou Papi's family was so frightened that their souls were scattered, but Zhou Dexin's brain turned fast, and he immediately walked away on his knees, crying blood and begging: "Lord Qin, Lord Qin spare your life, spare your life!" I am willing to give all my family property, and I only ask the Lord of Qin to raise his noble hand......"

"You don't have to have all the property, just one thing is enough," Qin Lin stretched out a finger with a smile.

What the? Zhou Dexin's eyes widened.

Qin Lin smiled: "Borrow the head of the person!" ”
