Chapter 827: Who Kneels Whom?
In the early years of Wanli, the world was quite a bit of Zhongxing weather, although Qiongzhou Mansion was not as good as Hangzhou, Yuegang, Guangzhou and other sea trade ports, Qiongshan Port wharf was still very busy, countless fortune boats and fishing boats went in and out, transported the Li native cloth on Qiongzhou Island and the medicinal materials of Wuzhishan to the mainland, and also transported tea, porcelain and silk from Leizhou, Guangzhou.
An old-style Guangzhou boat slowly entered the port at the wharf of a thousand sails, completely unnoticeable, a group of more than ten people abandoned the boat and landed, whether it was a fisherman or a wharf worker, would never have thought that among these people who were in a hurry, there was the former prince Taibao, Jinyi Wei were all commanding envoys, and Qin Lin who stirred up the situation in Beijing.
However, Qin Lin's holy decree to serve with Qiongzhou Jinyi Wei had already been made clear to the world, and he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, this small team with a northern accent and a fierce and agile look fell into the eyes of those who cared, and the god-like Niu Dali and the chubby Lu Yuanzhi could be recognized at a glance.
On the east side of the wharf, the three officials looked at each other and hurried together in the direction of the government office; On the west side of the dock, two short and sturdy men also nodded and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
After a stick of incense, the two men walked into the hundred households of Jinyi Wei Qiongzhou Mansion...... Wufeng Maritime Merchants have already purchased a courtyard for Qin Lin, located in the southeast corner of the city, three into the courtyard, with a large garden behind, the middle pond is crystal clear, surrounded by many tropical flowers and trees, a corridor built of bamboo, and a colorful parrot standing on the wire shelf, which is quite in the southern atmosphere.
An old housekeeper introduced the names of the various rooms and flowers and trees with a smile, and his attitude was very respectful: "Chief Qin, this place is arranged according to the pattern sent by Lord Jin Xuanwei, are you still satisfied?" ”
"Well, that's good," Qin Lin nodded, he could see that this was done with his heart, and seeing that the big parrot was brightly colored, he slowly walked over and teased it.
The parrot flapped its wings and shouted: "Little wrongdoer, don't be careful, little wrongdoer, don't be bothered!" ”
Flutter~~ Bai Shuanghua couldn't help laughing, the parrot's tone was the same as that of Jin Yingji, although he was not by Qin Lin's side, he had to send a parrot to come and see him.
Bai Shuanghua used the secret technique of disguise to change her appearance, and she looked like a cold handsome offspring, but this smile is like an iceberg melting and returning to the earth in spring, even a blind person can see that she is clearly a beautiful woman.
The maid servant left in the house was quite surprised, but he didn't expect that there was a stunning beauty hidden in Chief Qin's pro-military academy, and many Huaichun girls squeezed their eyebrows at each other: Our master, what a merry and unruly young man.
The old butler also lowered his head, trying to laugh and barely hold back, why did the master specially order to get such a parrot, now he finally understands.
Qin Lin was embarrassed, grabbed the parrot and threatened: "Talk nonsense again, pluck your hair bare, and call you a bare-ass stupid bird!" ”
"Hmm~~" The parrot seemed to understand the threat, whimpered in fear, and covered its eyes with its two wings.
Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and the lieutenants immediately burst into laughter.
Seeing Qin Lin's embarrassment and the parrot's eccentricity, the hoarfrost was overwhelmed, the cheeks and eyes of Chunsheng were flowing, and the flowers in the courtyard were overshadowed by the blooming flowers in the courtyard in an instant.
No, no, what's wrong with me? I came here to persuade him to join forces in the uprising, to fight the world, and to make a bet with him for the next year...... Bai Shuanghua hurriedly gathered his mind, and his pretty face was covered with a layer of frost again.
The house is ready-made, with all the covers, boxes and cages, and everything is cleaned up, Qin Lin and his party really moved in with their bags and settled down quickly.
After lunch, hastily bathing and changing clothes, Qin Lin put on the flying fish suit of the captain of the brocade clothes, wore a wingless black yarn on his head, tied a belt around his waist, carried an embroidered spring knife on his shoulder, and took the official letter from the commander of the pro-army in brocade, and led the brothers to report to the hundred households.
Lu Yuanzhi is a heartless fool, and when he saw Qin Lin's dress, he laughed: "Brother Qin, you were also dressed like this in Qizhou back then, but I didn't expect that a few years later, the python robe and jade belt were all worn, and today this set of captain's clothes is worn again." ”
"Dead fat man, which pot is not opened!" Qin Lin knocked a chestnut on the fat man's fat head, and laughed dryly: "Brothers, let's not mention how beautiful we are in the Beijing Division for the time being, now that I am back to being a captain, you will also accompany you to become a military surplus, pay attention to what you say and do." ”
All the brothers promised in unison, since they gave up their good future and accompanied Qin Lin to Qiongzhou, they were hardcore henchmen, and they had already been mentally prepared.
Bai Shuanghua glanced at Qin Lin angrily, "Hmph, I didn't say it to this sect master, don't worry, I won't cause you trouble." ”
That's good, Qin Lin smiled and hugged his fists, he was not afraid of anything else, he was worried that the sect leader would encounter the eagle dogs of the imperial court, and he would go out and kill the Quartet without saying a word, and the Jinyi official school of the Qiongzhou Hundred Households was not enough for her to kill, wouldn't it be because of himself that he brought unwarranted disasters to the brothers in Qiongzhou?
At this time, the city is not big, and it is a walk to the place where the hundred households are stationed, only to see two brocade wrestlers wearing mandarin duck robes and spears standing at the door, and their expressions are a little dignified, and the pedestrians on the street are consciously avoiding this yamen, and they really want to pass by from the opposite side of the street.
Niu Dali was about to go in and deliver the official letter, Qin Lin took it from him and walked towards the door of the hundred households.
The Qiongzhou Institute was just a small resting place on Qin Lin's long journey, and he neither needed nor disdained to plot anything here, so from the beginning he didn't put the shelves of his predecessor, and he didn't send someone to pass it on, but he came to vote for the official letter first, and even changed his clothes into ordinary captain's attire.
Qin Lin walked up, bowed to the Jinyi wrestler guarding the door, and then handed over the official letter: "Two brothers, Qin Lin, the captain of the Jinyi school, and the Jinyi pro-army have all commanded the envoy to send the official letter, and sent the noble hundred households to serve, and the two of them have passed it on. ”
The two wrestlers seemed to have expected it, and after exchanging glances with each other, one went in to pass the word, and the other pushed the spear forward, Leng Sensen's spear tip almost poked Qin Lin's chest, and said viciously: "Don't trespass on the Jinyi pro-army station, you just wait here, if there is anything, the chief of the department will have his own fate!" ”
Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and other brothers were first shocked, and then angry, although Chief Qin was dismissed from all positions, after all, he was the boss of Benwei, and his identity was there, how could a wrestler dare to be so rude? According to the unwritten rules in the officialdom, the dismissed boss passes through the old subordinate jurisdiction, and the hundreds of households here should still be respectful and respectful!
"Bold!" Niu vigorously rolled up his sleeves, revealing a fierce look, wanting to teach the brocade wrestler who didn't know the rules a lesson.
Qin Lin waved his hand to stop Niu Dali, took two steps back, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, let's wait here, since there is an official letter from the Jinyi pro-army commanding the envoy to send me to Qiongzhou to serve, forgive me for the hundred households here and not send me back to the capital again, right?" Well, in that case, I can't ask for it. ”
This is a joke, Qin Lin was dismissed and sent to serve in Qiongzhou Mansion, there was the holy decree of Emperor Wanli, and there was an official letter from Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi, so he came all the way to Qiongzhou, how big are the hundred households in Jinyi in Qiongzhou, can kick Qin Lin back to Beijing?
Not far away, the location of the second floor of the tea house facing the street, surrounded by lacquer carved screens inlaid with shells on all sides, guarded by several officials at the staircase, saying that the prefect and the distinguished guests talk about poetry and writing, and idlers are not allowed to come up.
At the same table with the prefect Tang Jingting was Hai Rui Haigangfeng, they learned the news of Qin Lin's arrival, so they waited in the teahouse early, and after lunch, they made tea twice, and finally waited for the scene where Qin Lin came to report to the hundred households.
"This son laughs at the humiliation of the reckless man, it can really be said that he is diluted, not arrogant or impatient, but he has a bit of talent that can be created!" Tang Jingting praised Qin Lin without a word, because the teacher intended to include him in the door wall, and he might become a member of the same door in the future, and one is a civil official, and the other is a military minister, this senior brother can only help each other, and will not compete with each other.
Although the Tang prefect felt that Qin Lin had little chance of regaining the stage of power, if the two sides had no grievances or hatred, they would not plant thorns if they could plant flowers, which was a common practice in officialdom.
Hai Rui took a sip of bitter tea, and said noncommittally: "Look at it again, maybe he was suddenly degraded and his mind was taken away by him, so he was wronged and forbearing?" That's too disappointing for the old man, you must know that people must not be arrogant, nor can they be arrogant! Jingting, this is the old man's heartfelt words, you must remember, remember. ”
"The teacher is high, and the students admire it so much," Tang Jingting admired and admired in his mouth, but he was quite disapproving, teacher, you are arrogant, and in the end you were demoted to the home for fifteen years, if it weren't for Zhang Siwei and Yan Qing's gang to borrow the hat of "the first Qing official of the Ming Dynasty" on your head to decorate themselves with a façade, I am afraid that they would die of old age in Qiongzhou for the rest of their lives! Besides, let you be arrogant, Gu Lao Er came out to eighty taels of silver, aren't you writing a birthday message for his mother in a row?
Come on, I, Tang, coax you, let me do what you say, then thank you...... While he was talking, a large group of people poured out from the hundred households, and Hai Rui and Tang Jingting stopped talking and concentrated on seeing how the situation developed over there.
Mo Zhigao, a middle-aged man with a short figure, has very dark skin, deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, two burnt yellow beards on his lips, and is wearing a flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, with a six-rank military attache on his chest.
"Chief Qin, Chief Qin is here, and the disadvantages are shining!" Mo Zhigao greeted him with a smile on his face, and his whole face was about to rot.
Could it be that Mo Baihu was not privately instructed by Liu Shouyou? Hai Rui and Tang Jingting were surprised when they saw this scene from afar.
Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali glared at Na Lux just now, hmph, you are still sensible, our brother Qin has been a member of the guard, why do you put on that face?
Qin Lin arched his hand with a smile: "Mo Baihu, I am a dismissal and transfer personnel below, and I don't dare to call myself a chief, but now that I have assigned my command, I should respect you as a chief." ”
"Ah, Chief Qin has been dismissed?" Mo Zhigao exclaimed, the voice was so loud that almost the entire Qiongzhou capital city could be heard, and it immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, the people walking on both sides, the guests drinking tea on the ground floor of the teahouse, and the customers who selected the goods in the shops, all looked at this side, looked at Qin Lin suspiciously, and pointed and said that he didn't know what royal law he had committed, and he was sent to our remote place.
Lu Yuanzhi was a little unhappy, and glanced at Mo Zhigao, Damn, you have a big throat, do you want to give you a horn, so that everyone in the whole Qiongzhou Mansion will know that our Chief Qin has been dismissed and sent here? Are you a monkey?
Mo Zhigao smiled gloomily, just as Lu Yuanzhi guessed, he did it on purpose.
Originally, although Qin Lin was dismissed from his post and served in the Qiongzhou Army, his wife Xu Xinyi was still the eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion, and his relatives and friends were all over the government and the opposition, and even the Gangneung Party bosses, there were many protégés and former officials who stayed in the court, and no one could help but have scruples.
However, the place of Qiongzhou Mansion is the southernmost part of China, and it is too remote, Mo Zhigao does not necessarily know all the forces behind Qin Lin, let alone witness the scene of the starry arch Beidou and the peaks facing Taiyue when the suburbs of Beijing bid farewell. In his mind, after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Liu Shouyou, the governor of this guard, wrote a letter and a secret will, in order to climb the big tree of Liu Dudu, and for the sake of a bright future, Mo Zhigao will do everything.
Qin Lin's face was unwavering, as if he didn't notice anything, and still smiled: "Yes, didn't Mo Baihu have time to read the official letter?" In the next because of carrying the coffin, he was beaten with 300 court rods outside the noon gate, and he was dismissed from his post and assigned to serve in 100 households in Qiongzhou. ”
Three hundred court staffs? The officials of the Qiongzhou Institute gasped, and their faces changed a little: Is this person cast in steel, cast in iron, fried, or boiled? So many canes didn't kill him!
"There are needles hidden in the cotton, soft and rigid, this son is a little interesting!" In the teahouse, Hai Rui couldn't help but applaud, and his appreciation for Qin Lin increased by three points.
Tang Jingting laughed, and suddenly came up with a reason why the teacher wanted to include Qin Lin in the door wall, Hai Rui carried the coffin to death, and Qin Lin also carried the coffin to death, so the teacher was so blue-eyed.
However, Hai Rui didn't take the court staff, which is far less brilliant than Qin Lin, but then again, if Hai Rui was beaten with three hundred court rods, it is estimated that he will be beaten to only meat scraps.
Mo Zhigao's heart also trembled, knowing that the people who could take three hundred court rods and still be alive were all cattle people, and he didn't know how much power there was behind him to protect him.
can think of the hints and promises of Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi, the so-called profit and wisdom, Mo Zhigao turned his heart sideways and glanced at the henchmen around him.
A lieutenant of the Qiongzhou Institute sighed and said suspiciously: "Chief Qin was really dismissed from his post and assigned to work for this institute?" That's an ordinary captain...... It's like, it seems that when you meet Shangguan, you should go to court, right? ”
Mo Zhigao deliberately didn't look at Qin Lin, looked at the sky with two eyes, and said in a weird manner: "Then how can you be embarrassed, Captain Qin, what do you say?" ”
In fact, like a slightly polite boss, he will be exempted from court ginseng, first of all, he takes care of the face of his subordinates, and secondly, he also appears to be broad-minded and sympathetic.
What's more, if a court member like Qin Lin is dismissed, according to the unwritten rules, his old subordinates should kowtow to him, instead of him coming to the court.
Lu Yuanzhi and Niu were furious, rolling up their sleeves and about to rush up and beat people.
Bai Shuanghua hung her head, her eyes flashed with lightning and thunder, and she silently stepped on the pavement made of loess more than an inch deep - if it was another occasion, she would have slapped Mo Zhigao's head into a rotten watermelon with one palm.
Somehow, she often didn't have a good face for Qin Lin, but when others looked down on Qin Lin, the sect leader would be very, very angry...... Mo Zhigao felt a chill in his back for no reason, as if he was being targeted by the most vicious and terrifying demon god.
Hey, hey, Qin Lin put his hand behind his back and shook it, the murderous weight of Bai Shuanghua, he stood in front of him, and he felt his hair blow up.
Bai Shuanghua quickly realized that something was wrong, and quickly restrained his murderous aura, so that Mo Zhigao was not so frightened that he peed his pants.
"Strange and weird, what happened just now?" Mo Zhigao wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and looked at Qin Lin again, only to see that he was still smiling, and he didn't look angry, so he settled down, bit his teeth hard, straightened his face and didn't speak, only stared at Qin Lin with the corner of his eye, and waited for him to go to court.
Several henchmen in Qiongzhou laughed, our hundred adults are just monkeys, aren't you afraid that someone in Qin will be too big an official, is there still a chance to resurrect? Specially greeted out, so that you can kneel down on the street, hey, hey, it's you!
Above the teahouse, Tang Jingting shook his head, "Mo Baihu is too much, he is so unsparing, he is too eager for quick success, and he doesn't even care about the physique of his old boss and old subordinates, although Qin is young, after all, he has been the commander of the Jinyi Guard......"
This is an unwritten rule in officialdom, for example, Hai Rui was an official, and was later dismissed and returned to his hometown for some reason, does he still have to kneel down and salute his protégé Tang Jingting? That would be too impersonal and contrary to Confucian norms.
Among the military attachés, this set of civil officials is not as strict as Shilin's civil officials, but Qin Lin was countless times older than Mo Zhigao at the beginning, and once he was demoted, Mo Zhigao had no scruples, which seemed very despicable and shameless.
"Jingting, you can't say that," Hai Rui pinched his beard and shook his head: "After all, the court is the law of the imperial court, and Mo Zhigao is unwilling to take the initiative to get rid of it, so Qin Lin can only ...... Let's see how he copes. ”
Many people on the street focused their eyes on Qin Lin, and the people of Qiongzhou Mansion didn't know who this person was, they only knew that he had committed a crime and was degraded, and there were many green-skinned singles and scoundrels waiting to watch the excitement.
Mo Zhigao and his henchmen were triumphant, the more people they saw in this scene today, the better, and the more widely it spread, the more satisfied Liu Dudu was!
"Liu Shouyou, Liu Shouyou, it turns out that you gave me such a big welcome gift," Qin Lin suddenly laughed contemptuously.
"What's the matter, do you dare to call Liu Dudu's name?" Just now, Nalux raised his spear again, and shouted viciously: "Do you kneel or not? If you don't kneel, go back! ”
If Qin Lin brushes his sleeves away, then he will be in the middle of the annihilation plan, and Liu Shouyou, Zhang Whale, Yan Qing and others can use the topic to play again...... Qin Lin waved his hand to stop the brothers who were about to go berserk, sighed very helplessly, and then stretched out his hand to untie his clothes: "Alas, the weather is so hot, I am sweating all over my body......"
Uh, what does he mean by taking off his clothes at this time? Everyone looked at each other, and Hai Rui and Tang Jingting in the teahouse couldn't figure out the situation.
Who knew that the clothes had just been untied and had not yet been taken off, Mo Zhigao and all the official schools of the Qiongzhou Institute were a little shorter, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in unison, shouting and dancing: "Respectfully Saint Ann, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
