When it was getting late, Lin Mengde rushed over.

Among the dead yesterday, there was a guy lent to the Jiyun Club by Lin Ji Warehouse, an old man brought out by Lin Mengde from the forest, loyal to the Lin family, although the Jiyun Society was founded by Lin Tie on his own, he sent Lin Mengde to help, and he was also very dedicated, when the murderers attacked the camp last night, he wanted to light a fire to the thieves to stop the spread of chaos, and he stabbed more than a dozen knives on his body, and when he cleaned up the body in the early morning, the blood on his body was almost exhausted. Lin Mengde bought a coffin from the city and wanted to transport this loyal fellow back to Shanglin for burial.

Along with Lin Mengde, there were more than ten Dongyang Township parties, as well as ten cars in short supply.

Seeing that the camp has been surrounded with wooden stakes and bamboo sticks and thorns, the twilight is slightly thick, campfires are lit around the camp, and there is a special person to take care of it, and there is a team of swords and archers from the Jiangning Prefecture Terracotta Division on the left side of the camp to prevent the recurrence of last night's tragedy - this is also the special care that Zuo Sikou joined the army Zhang Yubo used his privilege to give to Jiyun Society - although the homeless people in the camp have not yet dispelled the panic and sadness caused by yesterday's tragedy, but they have not shown much panic, There were even dozens of people organized to guard the camp with homemade guns and bamboos, and the seriously injured were transferred into the city in the afternoon to recuperate, and Lin Mengde knew that after the tragedy last night, Lin Jian still had enough ability to control the situation.

The only shocking thing is that there are dozens of corpses parked in the shack in the northwest corner of the camp that was temporarily used as a mortuary, because there are not enough coffins from Quyang Town for a while, and more than a dozen people are parked in the shack with white cloth and door panels, and there are dead people burning yellow paper outside the mortuary, and in the deepening twilight, the piles of burning yellow paper look particularly miserable.

Lin Mengde let out a long sigh, and he asked Lin Lian, "Lord Gu hasn't been here yet?" ”

"Lord Gu took someone to Jiangning Mansion in the afternoon to ask for jurisdiction, and he was blocked," Lin Jian said, "The Jiangning Mansion only agrees to send someone to supervise the handling of the case according to the Inspectorate Division, and does not agree that the case will be ......taken over by the Inspectorate Division."

"Alas......" Lin Mengde sighed lightly again, Zhang Yubo was in the Jiangning Mansion Soldiers and Horses, and Gu Wuchen really didn't need to send someone to supervise it. Although Zhang Yubo will try his best to help this side, the Jiangning Mansion Terracotta Division is mainly controlled by the local forces in Jiangning Mansion, and everyone suspects that this case was committed by someone in the local area against Gu Wuchen. Lin Jian also completely controlled Jiangdao Prison after Gu Wuchen cleared Jiangdao Prison, but Zhang Yubo did not have such good luck. In addition to the two Sikou of Jiangning Mansion who are Beijing officials, the other officials are all selected from Jiangning Mansion, and the squad leaders, pawns, archers and horse infantry below are also from Jiangning's local wealthy people or military households, and there is also Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion who is strongly pressed, Zhang Yubo has the name of a chief, and his control over the Terracotta Division is really weak. Besides, the attackers who attacked the camp last night were ferocious and abnormal, and their methods were sophisticated and vicious, and they were afraid that they would not be able to deal with it with the manpower of the Soldiers and Horses Division, but according to the Inspectorate Department, they could not take over the case from the hands of Jiangning Mansion, so there was no official name for coming forward, Lin Mengde sighed and said, "According to the usual practice, I am afraid that this case will drag on again, after all, the dead are all inconsequential homeless people - have you heard that Chen Zhihu led his troops through Wu County, upset the homeless people in Saidao, and used the cavalry to kill the homeless people in Saidao as murderers?" ”

The world is like this, and it is no wonder that Lin Meng has the mind to calm people.

Lin Mengde didn't rush over until dark, and after knowing the news in the early morning, he always tried his best to help buy the medicine for the injured in the city, and vacate the building in the Dongyang Hall to accommodate the injured who were transferred to the city, ask Langzhong for treatment and care, and organize the township party to donate money and materials. At this time, when the cohesion of the township party was also realized, it was only more than half a day, and more than one million dollars were donated, and more than a dozen people followed Lin Mengde to escort ten truckloads of donated and urgently purchased materials out of the city to visit.

The disappearance of the only son of the Qu family Qu Wuyang, the Qu family naturally couldn't hide it for too long. The Qu family dragged on for a few days, but no one could find anyone, and no one came to the door to extort money, and Qu Wuyang's son was a famous son in Jiangning, and he didn't show up for a few days, so others naturally became suspicious, and the Qu family officially told Moling County and Jiangning Mansion.

Of course, the Qu family did not dare to say that Qu Wuyang's only son, Qu Wenbin, disappeared outside the poplar forest on the night of the tragedy, and fabricated other locations, and the people sent by Moling County and Jiangning Prefecture naturally couldn't find any clues. Due to the Qu family's amazing wealth in Jiangning, the case of Qu Wuyang's only son disappeared immediately became another major case that shocked Jiangning after the tragedy of the Hekou homeless people.

*********

Since the Inspectorate has no jurisdiction, the personnel under the Jiangning Terracotta Division are very perfunctory in investigating and handling cases, so naturally they can't find any clues. After a few days of peace, Zhang Yubo was also forced to withdraw his sword and archers to the city.

Lin Jian didn't care, he couldn't ask too much of Zhang Yubo, and in a few days, Chen \/Yuan Liang of Moling Zhixian County and Zhao Shuhan, the head of the Jiangning Criminal Department, and others came to visit, and they couldn't do anything about the case.

When such a thing happened, Lin Jian couldn't get out and go elsewhere, he went back to Prison Island to deal with official business during the day, and before nightfall, he took the guards to live on the shore, and by taking advantage of this incident, he increased the number of guards to twelve. Although Prison Island has no jurisdiction over the estuary, Lin Jian takes the guards to the shore every day to spend the night, and even sometimes Lin Tie is delayed on the Prison Island, so he first sends Zhou Pu to lead the guards to the shore to guard, and others can't say anything.

Probably the landlord of the land on the inner side of the embankment and the Qu family wanted to dissociate themselves from the tragedy of the homeless attack and killing, and did not want Lin Jian and the Inspector to put the target of suspicion on their heads, Lin Jingzhong went to the Quji rent collection stack to ask about the land rights of the embankment, and the landlord who had not been exposed took the initiative to come to the door the next day and agreed to transfer and sell more than 200 mu of land on the inner side of the embankment to Jiyun Society at a price of 7,000 yuan per mu.

For fertile land with an annual harvest of five or six stones, even in the south of the Yangtze River, where grain is cheap, the selling price of 7,000 yuan per mu is really not high.

The Qu family wanted to clear their suspicions, and did not make it difficult for Jiyun Society on the issue of the right to collect rent, and the previous rent collection deed was lifted without a single copper to be compensated. More than 200 acres were originally rented by 12 tenant farmers, and the Jiyun Society made up the green seedling money to the tenants, and hired these tenant farmers to work for the Jiyun Society.

On February 8, Ye Kai's Zhengye Hall completed the production and engraving of the two sets of carved plates of the "Prison Book", and also printed four volumes of the real sample book and sent it to the estuary. On this day, Zhao Shuhan, the director of the Jiangning Criminal Department, was bringing his friends to the estuary to visit Lin Bin, picking up the thick sample book that was still wafting with the rich fragrance of ink, and felt a lot of nostalgia for a while, and covered his sleeve to wipe away the tears that couldn't help but flow.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ren's uncle Sun Bao once said that "there is great virtue, followed by meritorious service, followed by meritorious speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal", for thousands of years, "virtue, meritorious service, and speech" have been regarded as the core moral concept of lifelong pursuit by literati and scholars. Virtue is the matter of saints, meritorious service to help the world, save the people, and make a statement is to write a book and say it to pass on to the world, because the standard of virtue and meritorious service is too high, more literati and bachelors take the word to pass on the world as the goal of their life.

Zhao Shuhan is conceited of his talents, and deep down in his heart he is also desperate to write a book and pass it on, today's wish is fulfilled, how can he be treated calmly? Zhao Shuhan later knew that Lin Tie Zhengye Tang published the book "Prison Book" actually cost more than 200 taels of silver, with his Zhengyi, even if the whole family did not eat or drink, it would have to accumulate for ten years, he was excited to rub the leather cover, looking at Lin Tie for a while and didn't know what to say, put the sample book on the table, took a step back, and saluted Lin Tie Chang: "Shu Han is not thankful, please Brother Lin accept this gift......

"Brother Zhao has tormented me, my name on the prison book is already a deception, and I don't dare to accept Brother Zhao's gift again." Lin Jian hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhao Shuhan, not being treated by him for such a long time.

The Jiangning Ministry of Industry, who came to visit Lin Jian with Zhao Shuhan, made a hall book, and Shi Ge Siyu took another sample book next to him and said with a smile: "Good Zhao Shuhan, I still don't talk about such a big thing as writing a book and writing a book, do you really regard me as a friend?" You should be fined to pay for today's drinks. Lord Lin don't be humble, I have heard you and Brother Zhao talk about prison management for many days, you really have a talent for prison management, I will make a fair judgment, you are not deceiving the world. Master Gu used you to govern Prison Island, it is really a discerning ......"

Lin Lian laughed, grabbed Zhao Shuhan's arm and sat down together, and said: "After the carved plate is made, it will be printed quickly, and it will only take ten days and eight days to work for one hundred copies." I think this is good, Brother Zhao don't think that the grass hall here is simple, after the book is made, pick a day, Master Ge and I invite some colleagues to come over, first, to celebrate the publication of the manuscript, and secondly, to mention the knowledge told in the prison book, Brother Zhao also gave us a lecture on the spot, which can be regarded as a lecture ...... the scriptures."

"Where am I qualified?" Zhao Shuhan hurriedly excused himself and said, "Please Brother Lin don't embarrass me." ”

When it comes to opening the scriptures and lecturing, even the county school and teaching edicts are all civil officials of the eight grades, the government school and the school officials of the Xuanfu envoy are all local celebrities, and the positions of the country's priest and professor are all celebrities in the world, and these are all people who are officially qualified to give lectures on the scriptures. Excluding the countless private schools, there are also many folk academies in this dynasty, but the people who are qualified to give lectures are all celebrities. The famous author has the Xixi Institute under the mountain in Moling County, the first person to give lectures is the great Confucian of the world, the former household department Shangshu Chen Xiyan, last year Jiangdong County Township tried to solve the Yuan Chen Mingzhe is the teacher of Chen Xiyan.

This side is less than thirty miles away from the Xixi Academy at the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Shuhan really doesn't dare to give lectures here.

Lin Jian looked at Zhao Shuhan's friend Ge Siyu who was sitting on the side and asked, "Brother Ge, what do you think?" ”

"It must be," Shi Ge Siyu, the secretary of the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, said excitedly, "We will not invite Mr. Daode from the Xixi Society, miscellaneous craftsmanship is not in the right stream, then we will invite those colleagues and students who are not in the right stream to listen to Brother Zhao's lectures......"

"How many more people will come?" Zhao Shuhan said.

"If others don't come, just me and Lord Lin will sit in the hall and listen to your lectures, is it enough?" Ge Siyu said.

"You want me to invite wine, just say it......" Zhao Shuhan had no choice but to entangle Lin Jian and Ge Siyu, so he had to agree to it.

"That's a good thing," Ge Siyu said with emotion, carefully taking a sample book to his side, and looking at the sunset sun shining in through the window, "For this matter, it is worth getting drunk today." Then he asked Lin Lian, "How much silver do I have to give before I can take this book home!" ”

"You come to listen to Brother Zhao's lecture, this book will be given away by Jiyun Club for free - we set a date, whoever comes here to listen to Brother Zhao's lecture for three days, the book will be given away by Jiyun Club for free!" Lin Jian said, "Of course, we will ask Zhengye Hall to print a hundred copies, and we will end up to a hundred. ”

"How does this work?" Zhao Shuhan said.

"How not?" Lin Jian asked Zhao Shuhan rhetorically, and then asked Ge Siyu, "Brother Ge, what do you think?" ”

"Then I'll be greedy and take this book first," Ge Siyu said with a smile, "Such a thick book, such a good print, I can't print it without three or five thousand yuan, and I really can't come up with such a silver penny, so I can only barely come to listen to Brother Zhao's lectures." ”

Ge Siyu took out a sweat towel from his arms and wrapped the book carefully, he was not confused by the short beard, he was a fat man, the spring was cold, and his clothes were thin.

Ge Siyu's father was originally a master craftsman in the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, and later he was rewarded for his merits and got rid of the craftsman status, he was able to participate in the township examination, and reluctantly passed the examination to fill the post and entered the Jiangning Ministry of Industry as a book. Like Zhao Shuhan, he is the most idle and cold official in Jiangning City, even worse than Zhao Shuhan.

After Jiyun Society solved the problem of land rights for the river embankment at the mouth of the river, it was ready to build a large number of civil works in the next few days.

Zhao Shuhan dragged Ge Siyu to the estuary to visit Lin Lian, saying that he was taking him to visit friends and drink wine, but in fact, he pulled Ge Siyu to come over to help. Ge Siyu inherited his family education, and served in the hall for a long time, and he was very proficient in the construction of civil engineering, which is the talent that Jiyun Society needs to use for civil engineering.

Zhao Shuhan has a deep attainment in the history of calligraphy and writing, and his calligraphy and painting skills are all super-first-class, and he is also popular with his colleagues in Qingliu; Ge Siyu was reluctant to raise people in the examination, and besides, he was a child of a craftsman, even if he was full of knowledge in the construction of the general, he was still rejected by those Qingliu colleagues. Zhao Shuhan came to Jiangning, and his interest shifted to miscellaneous craftsmanship, and it didn't take long for Ge Siyu to become friends with him, which has continued to this day.

After the tragedy of the estuary homeless people, Zhao Shuhan attracted Ge Siyu to meet Lin Tie, and only a few days later, Ge Siyu led Lin Tie as a confidant. Jiyun Society is building a lot of construction at the mouth of the river, and Ge Siyu is also a supervisor and designer. Ge Siyu was a scholar in the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, and he was worried that he had nothing to do all day long, and in the past few days, he went directly out of the city to the estuary to help after going to the Yamen with Zhao Shuhan every day, not asking for anything else, as long as Lin tied him and Zhao Shuhan or other friends who came with him to have a good drink.

Not to mention anything else, Jiyun Society is building a lot of construction, and it is necessary to dig a deep water channel on the river beach for the ship of a thousand stones to anchor directly at the end of the river before the spring flood comes and the river rises, and secretly invited a few masters from the Jiangning Mansion Gongcao and the Jiangning Ministry of Industry to do things, these masters are either apprentices brought out by Ge Siyu's father, or they are under the jurisdiction of Ge Siyu. For Ge Siyu's enthusiasm, Lin Jian of course couldn't ask for it, and he asked Lin Jingzhong to prepare a carriage for Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu to pick him up in the past few days.

Zhao Shuhan has now become very cautious, although the manuscript has long been entrusted to Zhengye Hall before the New Year's Festival carved plate printing, but when the manuscript was not printed, he did not mention a word, because he was afraid that in the end it would become empty due to other unforeseen changes, so Ge Siyu only knew at this time that his friend's book was about to be printed.

Ge Siyu wrapped the "Prison Book", and couldn't help but get it to his nose and smell the rich ink fragrance, not only happy for his friends, but also very envious in his heart.

Lin Jian saw Ge Siyu like this, and asked with a smile: "Brother Ge's family biography will be used as a study of construction, do you have the idea of writing a book to pass it on?" ”

"If you are going to do miscellaneous arts, you can also write a book?" Ge Siyu's eyes lit up.

"Why can't it, the "Jiang Zuo Sutra" written by Li Cunhan, the young eunuch of the former dynasty's Jiangzuo Temple, hasn't Brother Ge read it?" Lin Jian asked with a smile.

"......" Ge Siyu's bold temperament was also embarrassed, and said, "In the general work, Li Cunhan is the same existence as the ancestor master, how can I expect to compare with the ancestor master." ”

To put it bluntly, it is architectural engineering, Lin Tie because Jiyun Society wants to build civil engineering, in addition to hiring a master craftsman in Jiangning City, he himself also searched for whether the ancients had any monographs on this subject, who would have thought that for thousands of years, only four hundred years ago, Li Cunhan's "Will Zuo Jing" was handed down?
