Qin Lin's appointment as the superintendent of Dongchang was not only unexpected by most people, but also reasonable.

Overthrowing the young master's mansion who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and recruiting the two religious kings of Wusi and Tibet, this is a rare miracle, but compared to the opening of the Silk Road, the first two are nothing, at least in the eyes of Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor who got 500,000 internal funds every year, and in the eyes of the Jingshi Xungui group, which has its own share of profits, this latter contribution is undoubtedly the greatest.

Rewarding merit and punishing is the imperial court system, and the emperor cannot overstep it, not to mention that the protégés of the four major families of Wang Ma Yang Shen are like snowflakes on the book to protect the promotion, when the head of the court Shen Shixing secretly beat the side drum, Qin Lin's merits The court must have an explanation for him, otherwise from Wanli to the princes and nobles led by the Marquis of Dingguo Wu Qing, and then to Wang Chonggu and Ma Zili, I am afraid that when I reach out for the silver, I am afraid that it is not very steady.

But the Jinyi Wei system, one is in charge of the guard and two Zhenfu Divisions in the north and south, and the three positions are occupied, Liu Shou has a famous minister's son, and Zhang Whale joins forces, and he is also very open on Wenchen's side, Zhang Zunyao is Zhang Whale's nephew, and he has made contributions to Wanli in bringing down the Jiangling Party, and there is also a Luo Sigong, who is simply Wanli's own henchman, so he can't make a place no matter how he calculates.

The nine ministers and governors of the provinces have always been served by civil ministers, even if Zhang Ju is alive, I am afraid that there is no way for Qin Lin to withstand the pressure of the entire civil official system and sit in these positions.

The governor of the capital of the army? The example is for the noble ministers; The commander of the border town? Even if he is a governor of about one product, he has to kowtow when he sees the five products of the military department, and Wanli is embarrassed to take it out when he thinks about it.

When Zhang Cheng mentioned the governor Dongchang, Wanli only felt funny at first, but if he thought about it carefully, it was the only one that worked: first of all, this position was originally Zhang Cheng's, Zhang Cheng and Qin Lin were in the same party, he was willing to give it up, and it did not involve other factions, nor did it affect the checks and balances of the court, and the internal and external factions had nothing to say.

Secondly, the factory and the guard have always been integrated, and the East Factory is selected from the Jinyi Guard, although the Governor Dongchang has always been served by the eunuch, but it is not said that it cannot be done by the Jinyi Wuchen!

In the end, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both royal eagle dogs, and they have always been chosen by the emperor to govern affairs, and they are not subject to the beak of the outer court.

Wanli's imperial technique is the outer Confucian and internal methods taught by Zhang Juzheng, who is well versed in the way of checks and balances, and there is another layer of calculation in his heart.

Now Zhang Whale is powerful, calling for wind and rain in the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and joining forces with Liu Shouyou to master the Jinyi Guard - Wanli transferred Luo Sigong into it with the meaning of mixing sand, and Zhang Whale took the opportunity to knock down Feng Bao to install cronies in the East Factory, and has maintained considerable influence so far. Zhang Whale is in charge of the palm print, Jinyi Wei accounts for most of it, and he still doesn't let go of the East Factory, isn't this catching up with Feng Bao back then?

Wanli couldn't tolerate the appearance of another eunuch who threatened him, so he pulled Qin Lin back, and with Qin Lin's prestige in the factory guard, he might be able to bring back part of the situation in the East Factory, and join forces with Zhang Cheng to play a role in counterbalancing Zhang Whale.

As for Qin Lin's strength? Wanli is not worried, the East Factory is a royal private setting, and it seems that the powerful factory governor can be removed with a decree!

In this way, Qin Lin and Qin became the first governor of Dongchang in the history of the Ming Dynasty to serve as a military minister!

Wrong, Qin Lin is not a father-in-law, he can only be called the overseer.

In the previous dynasty, he served as the governor of Dongchang, and most of them were the masters who set off a bloody storm, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Feng Bao, all of them were power-hungry, majestic and evil, and there was a nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian behind him, but now he is only a teenager, and his balls are still happily hanging in the crotch of his pants.

Qin Lin received the order to serve as the governor of Dongchang, and he did not live up to the expectations, and immediately opened the killing ring, took the head of the bully and inferior gentleman Zhou Dexin to make a fortune in the city, and passed on the head of the Quartet to think that the people were fish and meat The people were punished, and then the trial of the case, the return of the people's land and property, etc., were thrown to Xia Pei of Linjin Zhixian County to deal with, the biggest obstacle has been cleared, Zhou Papi's family is frightened, and the rest of the matter is simple.

The people in the Sanjin Pass said that this Dongchang Governor was probably the only loyal minister in the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty; However, the "gentlemen" who were frightened and forced to pay the arrears of taxes gritted their teeth and scolded him for being vicious and cunning like a Junchen, combining the evil of Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Feng Bao.

It's a pity that the real mastery of the Guanxue portal, the protégé of the old officials all over the world, Wang Ma Yang Shen Si, everyone refused to agree, but for Qin Lin to open their eyes, in previous years, the gentlemen of Shilin could not fight and you had to scold your means, to Qin Lin here did not play a role, it is said that later the news reached Nanjing, the literary alliance leader Wang Shizhen laughed, and the talented Wang Shiqi under his knees also made a fu, blowing the conch for Qin Lin.

Three days after Qin Lin received the order, Fengling Town, the Young Master's Mansion.

In the past, the young master's mansion of Xuanhe has now presented a bleak scene of trees falling and scattering, the withered yellow fallen leaves in the courtyard are not cleaned, with the north wind rolling, the hall is hung with white cloth curtains, a few coffins are desolate in the center, the candle flame in front of the spirit is as faint as a bean, dust has accumulated in many places, and cobwebs are faintly hung in the corners.

Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan walked here hand in hand, seeing that there was no one around, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he pinched Zhang Zixuan's palm, and the two of them slowly walked to Zhang Siwei's residence behind.

Zhang Siwei, who was above 10,000 people under one person, was already like frost, looking haggard, lying on the hospital bed for a long time.

Wanli issued a decree, saying that Zhang Yunling, Zhang Sijiao and others collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the crime was unforgivable, and ordered the Puzhou Zhang's family property to be confiscated into the official, and all the fields seized from the people were returned.

Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan walked outside the door and looked at Zhang Siwei's declining appearance on the hospital bed, and knew that in fact, there was no difference between killing and not killing, and this person would not live long.

Zhang Zixuan originally wanted to take revenge and vent the grudge in her heart, but when she saw Zhang Siwei like this, she lost interest, pulled Qin Lin, and said in a low voice: "Brother Qin, let's go." ”

The Young Master's Mansion was very deserted, although the voice was small, Zhang Siwei heard it, turned around with difficulty, looked at Zhang Zixuan with dizzy old eyes, suddenly his pupils shrank, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, is it Miss Zhang of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Niece to meet Uncle Shi," Zhang Zixuan was blessed, looking neither sad nor happy.

Zhang Siwei's hair is as white as frost, his skin is withered, his face is full of wrinkles and age spots, and he is ten or twenty years old compared to two months ago! His lips pursed, and he said dejectedly: "Miss Zhang, you killed the old man, the old man is sorry for Ling Zun and Brother Ling, alas, I wanted to raid the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion, but instead copied the old man's young master's mansion, the cycle of heaven, and the retribution is not happy...... Hahahaha......"

People are dying and their words are good, Zhang Siwei said these words, and he knew that his fate would not be long, so he laughed miserably.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, my niece will never kill you," Zhang Zixuan smiled and grabbed Qin Lin's arm, "Now I have everything, and you, have lost everything." ”

Qin Lin nodded, Zhang Zixuan was right, her sunny smile simply illuminated the entire Young Master's Mansion, and she retreated from the gloomy and desolate mansion.

Zhang Siwei is no longer worth doing, let him live and survive, see our happiness with his own eyes, and see the decline and withering of his Young Master's Mansion, which is more painful than killing him.

"This official has been promoted to the governor of Dongchang, so he will go to Beijing to take office, and he will be lost!" Qin Lin smiled at Zhang Siwei, revealing eight white teeth, and left here without looking back.

Zhang Siwei supported half of his body, looked at the tall backs of the two in a daze, and fell back to the bed for a long time, with a long sigh from his mouth, with the rotten breath from the grave, now he is already a dry bone in the grave, and in the last time, his soul will be tormented by remorse, and will be swallowed by pain and ruthlessly.

Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan walked out of the Young Master's Mansion hand in hand, and came to the sunny street, the warm winter sun was so warm, and the gloomy and rotten atmosphere in the Young Master's Mansion was swept away in an instant.

Fengling Town has undergone earth-shaking changes, this change is indescribable, but it is so real, from the steady pace of the people in the past, from their original panic, now often smiling faces, can see something new.

In the past few decades, the dark clouds that shrouded over Fengling Town, the haze that weighed heavily on people's hearts, have dispersed!

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and Yin Binshang waited outside with the Jinyi official school, the horses had already been packed, and they had said goodbye to Zhang Gongyu as early as Puzhou, and Qin Lin would go straight to Beijing from here to take up his new position.

Qin Lin helped Zhang Zixuan into the carriage, and he also sat on the horse, and when he was about to leave, the people of Fengling Town, who heard the news, rushed over from all directions.

"Lord Qin stays!" Fan Yiti came out of the crowd, holding a glass of clear water in his hand: "The Lord of Qin is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and the people of Fengling Town have nothing to repay, except for the incense burning at the Lisheng Ancestral Hall, I can only send a bowl of clear water!" ”

"Qin Qingtian treats me with kindness and reconstruction!" The old folks had tears in their eyes.

Zhang Zixuan in the carriage nodded secretly, it is better for a family to cry than to cry in a county, get rid of the Young Master's Mansion, how can the people of a county laugh? In the entire Guanzhong Sanjin, I don't know how many people ...... Qin Lin was on horseback, bent down to take the water and drank it all, and was about to beat the horse and leave, who knew that the people had watched too much of the drama and literature, and brought out the water one after another: "Qin Qingtian also drinks a bowl of water from my old man!" "Qin Governor Gaohou Wandai!"

Mom, Qin Lin almost fell headlong, I'm afraid that there are thousands of waters, dare to love me as an elephant?

In the carriage, Zhang Zixuan was trembling with laughter, and poked her head out of the window to remind him: "Idiot, just touch your lips a little, who told you to drink it?" ”

That's it, it's okay, it's okay, Qin Lin wiped a cold sweat.

On the afternoon of the day Qin Lin left Fengling Town and returned, Du Tiezhu and his wife hurried to the gate of the Young Master's Mansion with a pair of children, and were all taken aback when they saw the desolation and dilapidation here.

Du Tiezhu pulled an old man and asked, "Zhang Qingtian, where is Qin Qingtian, isn't he here to take the complaint and complain?" ”

"You're coming late!" The old man shook his head, "Zhang Qingtian returned to Yanmen Pass to inspect the yamen, and Qin Qingtian was ordered to return to Beijing and become a senior official of the East Factory." ”

Yes? Du Tiezhu was stunned, the village he lived in was too remote, and it was too late to receive the news, but he didn't think that his mother had died of illness again, and he finally settled down for the funeral, so he came over to complain, Qin Qingtian and Zhang Qingtian had already left.

"Then, who are you going to sue now?" The lady of the Du family asked impatiently.

The old man shook his head: "It's done early, the young master's mansion has copied the property and family property, and returned it, the evil slave servants are either dead or run away, and now there are not a few people left, and Master Zhang is also lying on the bed waiting for death, and he can't even speak, what else can you sue?" ”

The Du family stared at each other, they were the most simple mountain people, they couldn't think of any other way, and they looked around, but there was really nothing they could do, so they had to turn around and leave Fengling Town step by step.

Thousands of miles away from Puzhou by land in Datong Mansion, Shanxi, an extremely magnificent green building, the melodious music of the silk and bamboo orchestra is endless, the princes and grandsons go in and out, the warblers and the swallows are whispering, and it is a scene of wealth and elegance.

But in the backyard of this green building, there is a different situation, and the old woman with a meaty face is holding a rattan in her hand, supervising seven or eight teenage girls.

Each little girl stood up straight, with a bowl of water resting on top of her head.

"Stand up straight, raise your head, hold your chest up, and tuck your belly!" The fierce old lady waved a rattan, "Whoever lets the water in the bowl spill out, don't eat, wait for a cold shower!" ”

"Jizhen City Wall", "Xuanfu Teaching Field", "Datong Girl" are nine sides of the three uniques, the first two are dead things, the back of Shanxi Datong Mansion girl is a living person, in the whole country is very famous, the Rouge of the North is second to none, and Yangzhou Thin Horse is called the North and South.

The so-called Datong Mansion girl, in fact, is the name of the Datong Qinglou training, from a young age to select the best qualifications to train, the body, voice and demeanor must be adjusted to perfection, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, so they can be famous, unique in the smoke and clouds of Beijing, for the bustards to find a rolling source of money.

The little girl with the best qualifications and the most beautiful appearance here, with a hint of stubbornness on her face, became more and more beautiful and lovely, with a bowl on her head, her body trembled slightly, and when all the sisters couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy from the old lady, she still bit her lip tightly and didn't say a word.

"I want to listen to that big brother, I want to be a good person, and good people can't be afraid of bad people!" The little girl thought so.

Mama waited for her viciously, this girl is the most difficult to train, but she is the most beautiful she has seen in many years, hum, little hooves!

"Mother Wang is alright, it's almost there!" The old bustard came over with a smile, took down the water bowl above the little girl's head with his own hands, and held her little face, pretending to be very pitiful: "Oh, my second sister Sun has been doing business for so many years, Du Siniang is the most handsome, and she will be famous in Jinghua in the future, and I don't know how many sons and grandsons I will fascinate me." ”

Du Shi Niang clenched her teeth and didn't say a word, I don't want to be fascinated by any prince and grandson, I just want to be a good person like what the big brother said...... I hope to see him again......
