Chapter 209 I have made meritorious deeds for the Ming Dynasty, and I have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty
The Punishment Department was in trouble this time. Yang Xuan got out of the Punishment Department's prison, and Zheng Qi lost his temper in the Punishment Department and took care of a few people who used to jump hard.
Logically speaking, people in the Ministry of Punishment should not have a favorable impression of Yang Xuan and Liang Jing. No, they should be disgusted.
"Mr. Liang, please." The official who came to greet them, Huo Ran, was one of the officials who interrogated Yang Xuan that day. He had a straight face and avoided Yang Xuan's eyes.
Yang Xuan thought of the threat that this person had made that day, and said: "You seemed to have said that if Yang was not brought to justice, you would take off your official robe and go home to farm from now on. How come... you don't have a hoe at home?
"
The official's face turned as red as pig liver, and he lowered his head, "I made a mistake that day, please forgive Yang Mingfu."
After entering the prison, walk all the way inside.
The Prison Department's prison is naturally not small. The further you go in, the darker and darker it becomes, and all kinds of weird smells enter your nose... and the further you go in, the more sluggish the prisoners become.
In the dim light, you could only see the fleas jumping on the hay that had not changed for thousands of years. The inmates around you also finished saying what you needed to say in your life and were all in a daze.
Days like this can be said to be like a year.
"Is there anyone who commits suicide?" Yang Xuan was a little curious.
The jailer who followed said, "No."
This shows that no matter how difficult it is, we are still reluctant to die.
When we got to the innermost part, it was empty, except for one prisoner in one cell.
"Isn't this Wang Langzhong?" Yang Xuan saw Wang Yugui sitting on the ground.
Wang Yugui looked up when he heard the sound. When he saw it was Yang Xuan, he subconsciously shrank back and said, "Help!"
Amidst the shrill screams, Liang Jing said: "Brother, I'm waiting for you behind."
Yang Xuan turned around, but the official had disappeared. The remaining jailer stepped forward, opened the cell door, and resigned.
Is this the imperial concubine’s compensation?
Wang Yugui knelt there and begged in a low voice: "I'm the official... I just have no choice but to do it. In Yang Ming's Mansion, every grievance has its owner, every debt has its owner, and I know who the mastermind is..."
Yang Xuan stood still.
"Hey! Why didn't you say anything?"
Wang Yugui's eyes became more cunning, "The villain knows that he has offended the Yang Ming Mansion. If the Yang Ming Mansion can make a poisonous oath, the villain will say it."
Yang Xuan raised his hand, "I, Yang Xuan, swear here that I will never attack Wang Yugui. If I violate this oath, I will die without a burial place."
Wang Yugui felt relieved, "It's the head of the country."
I thought you would name a specific executor, but it turned out to be a huge lie... Yang Xuan handed over his hand, "Thank you very much."
Wang Yugui smiled happily. Who didn't know that this was the plan of the father-in-law? Even the emperor deprived the father-in-law of his title because of it... But Yang Xuan really took it seriously. How could he take action once he made such a poisonous oath?
I am so witty!
Yang Xuan turned around and left.
Behind him, Wang Yugui smiled like a mouse that had just eaten oil, "Ho ho ho!"
Not long after, the jailer came back.
Behind him were several criminals, all of whom were strong and strong.
Wang Yugui felt something was wrong. Why were the eyes of these big men so green?
The jailer casually threw something to a prisoner. Wang Yugui sniffed and asked, "Is it grease?"
The jailer turned around and left, "Don't cause trouble."
"yes!"
The jailer muttered and left. Wang Yugui vaguely heard something... That Yang Xuan is so cruel...
What's the meaning?
Several big men walked in, and the leader took the piece of fat. He licked a sip of the fat and said happily: "Although it is a little older, the skin and tender meat still have a different taste."
Wang Yugui felt a shiver in his heart. He backed away and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What do you think?" Several big men slowly came over.
"Here comes someone!"
"Help!"
"Well!"
…
Yang Xuan and Liang Jing came out of the Criminal Department. Liang Jing was a little curious, "Why did you swear?"
Yang Xuan said: "If I do something inside, the Ministry of Punishment will not consider it as evidence of guilt."
Liang Jing said reservedly: "My Majesty is here, who dares to reveal this matter?"
But the empress will eventually leave.
Liang Jing coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed, "There's something wrong."
"Brother Liang, just say it."
"You will definitely be promoted this time."
"Thank you so much, Brother Liang."
"Taiping County was naturally given to others, but this time..." Liang Jing suddenly cursed, "Bitch slave, mother, you worked so hard to lay those foundations in Taiping. You should have let your people serve as county magistrates again.
, this is the beginning and the end, but I didn’t expect...ah!"
An official has worked hard to lay a foundation somewhere and is promoted immediately. At this time, if he recommends someone to take over, the Shangguan and the Ministry of Revenue will consider it. In this way, the official can be promoted again with the help of those foundations, which is considered a complete merit.
.
Otherwise, officials will put their efforts into doing things, thinking that their current achievements are enough for their promotion, and then just rest on their laurels.
"Who?" Yang Xuan asked.
"I'm from the Chunyu family." Liang Jing smiled bitterly, "I can't see you because of my brother."
No wonder Liang Jing made such a battle today, Yang Xuan understood it in his heart, looked sad, and then said seriously: "They are all serving the country, let's leave it at that, otherwise the empress will also be in trouble."
"Good brother."
Liang Jing was so moved that he wanted to go to a brothel with him. Yang Xuan covered his lower back and said, "My waist is not feeling well lately."
Liang Jing said ambiguously: "Young man, please don't let your hands slip."
Old snake skin!
Yang Xuan returned home.
"Is Taiping ready?"
The old thief said: "It has been prepared for a long time, Mr. Lang, but someone has gone?"
Yang Xuan said: "If I plan for Lao Cao to take over Taiping County as soon as I come to Chang'an, how many people will take advantage of this to cause trouble? Now is the time, let Chunyu give it a try. Who will have any gossip when Lao Cao comes back?"
"Zitai!"
Zhao Sanfu is here.
"Your promotion has been suppressed."
"Expected things."
"Some people want to wait until Taiping County is taken over by Chunyu before letting this matter go."
"Afraid that I'll take care of Chun Yujian?" Yang Xuan sneered, "Am I the one who doesn't care about the overall situation?"
Zhao Sanfu looked at him and said seriously: "Yes."
…
Cao Ying and others have moved out of the county house.
"If I had known earlier, I would have followed Lang Jun to Chang'an." Yi Niang muttered.
The place they live in is not bad, but whenever she thinks about the vegetables she grows in the backyard of the county house, Yi Niang can't bear to leave.
Cao Ying coughed dryly and said, "I will move back soon."
"You have a beautiful idea." Yi Niang said, "I will go wherever your husband goes."
Zhang Siniang nodded vigorously.
"By the way, when will the new county magistrate come?"
Cao Ying said: "Lang Jun is in Chang'an and there is no one to hand over to him, so he must be quick."
The postal system of the Tang Dynasty was still very powerful. The emperor used it to transport fruits from the south, and the fruits could still be eaten when they arrived in Chang'an. This shows that it can be seen from this.
When Yi Niang was sweeping away the fallen leaves, Chunyu Shan came.
"Is this peace?"
Taiping City has been renovated and looks pretty good, but it seems a bit small.
Cars and horses kept coming and going, and the prairie merchants returned laden with goods from the Tang Dynasty, creating a prosperous scene.
"It's a nice place." Chunyu Jian felt hot in his heart, knowing that this was the place where he would take off.
Zhu Chan, the staff beside him, smiled and said: "It's time to inform Cao Ying. What are you going to do?"
Chun Yujian said: "If this person is valued by Yang Xuan, he probably has good methods. If he is prepared, it will be difficult to get him."
Zhu Chan nodded, "His presence in the county will hinder Lang Jun from taking over the Taiping Army."
"In this case, I will give him a surprise attack." The corners of Chunyu Jian's mouth raised slightly.
Immediately there was a notification that someone was coming into the city.
Cao Ying led the officials out to meet him.
The two parties exchanged greetings very cordially and then conducted a handover.
Zhu Chan was staring at Cao Ying, but Qian Ji could no longer contain his excitement and stood directly next to Chunyu Jian and kept reminding him.
Too frivolous... Zhu Chan shook his head slightly, feeling that Qian Ji was not useful.
Cao Ying did not stumble and handed over her agency affairs sincerely.
"No problem." Qian Ji whispered.
Chun Yujian smiled kindly, "I know that whenever the new county magistrate arrives, he can go to Lin'an to get dried meat. But I am a newbie here, so I am not used to the local environment, so I asked Magistrate Cao to visit Lin'an on my behalf."
As soon as he told Liu Shijun, he said that I was not acclimated to the local environment and was not feeling well. It would be disrespectful to see him at this moment. I would go after I recovered."
He glanced at Cao Ying and saw that there was more anger in Cao Ying's eyes. He couldn't help but sneered in his heart, "Secondly, if you go and get the dried meat, you will feel more confident in the winter."
Cao Ying clenched her fists and took a deep breath, "Yes."
While Zhu Chan was watching his reaction, he also had to look at others.
Jiang Zhen lowered his head, and Zhen Siwen looked sad...
Qian Ji whispered in his ear: "Jiang is really one of his own."
Zhu Chan's smile became more and more cheerful, and he cupped his hands and said: "It will be a long time since Prime Minister Cao County left. Who can I leave the affairs in my hands to?"
Cao Ying looked at him with squinted eyes, a sharp light flashing in her eyes, "The Ming Mansion will just make arrangements, but if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me."
This shows that the carriage and horse are not cooperating.
According to the plan before coming, first suppress Cao Ying, and then see if this person cooperates. If he cooperates, wait for a while and wait for Chunyu Jian to gain a foothold before getting rid of him.
But after a run, this person knew that the situation was over, but he refused to bow his head. His official position was not high, and he had a bad temper... Zhu Chan laughed and said, "You can stay for a few days and then go after the handover is completed."
Cao Ying sneered and resigned. As soon as he left, Qian Ji began to complain.
"The Ming Dynasty didn't know that during this period, Yang Xuan and Cao Ying worked together to suppress them, frequently stumbling upon their subordinates and causing problems."
He chatters like Mrs. Xianglin.
Qian Ji is a member of the Zhao family among the four surnames in his family. Although he and Chunyu are in the same camp, Yang Xuan should get out and Cao Ying should get out. The four surnames in the family must fight within themselves.
After Qian Ji was sent away, Chunyu Jian sneered and said: "Incompetent people chattering endlessly to explain their incompetence are worse than women in the market."
Zhu Chan smiled and said: "Mr. Lang, the nights are long and there are many dreams!"
"Go to the Taiping Army now."
After leaving the county house, an old man squatted outside the door. When Chunyu Jian came out, he stood up and almost bumped into each other.
What follows subconsciously is a kick.
The old man flew out and lay on the ground twitching.
"Yue Er!" A passerby glanced at Chun Yujian and others in surprise.
"Aye!"
Yue Sanshu howled miserably and rushed towards him, kneeling and shaking Yue Er.
"Aye!"
Chunyu Jian frowned and was about to scold his entourage when Qian Ji said, "This man is a criminal. He foolishly comes out to cater to Yang Xuan every day."
Yue Er and his young son set up a stall, and would flatter Yang Xuan when they met him.
These are noble people from Chang'an. One person committed a crime...
Zhu Chan said calmly: "Is there someone who ordered this person to rush into the Ming Mansion?"
Wonderful!
Chunyu Jian immediately thought of Cao Ying.
That's right, after Cao Ying acted as the county magistrate for a while, she didn't want to give up her power, so she sent criminals to attack the new county magistrate.
"Walk."
Chunyujian went to the foot of the mountain.
More than two thousand soldiers stood there lazily.
"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."
Even the shouting was feeble.
"That's it?" Chun Yujian shook his head and laughed.
Qian Ji said: "The Ming Dynasty must not underestimate the Taiping Army."
"They were originally exiled criminals. Yang Xuan gave them the opportunity to serve their crimes and make meritorious deeds. Naturally, they had to rush to kill them without fear of death. Tsk tsk! It's just that the rules are a little different."
Nan He stepped forward and asked, "Please give me instructions from the Ming government."
"You are..." Zhu Chan looked at him.
Qian Ji introduced him on the way and said that Nan He was Yang Xuan's man.
Zhu Chan just wanted to test it out.
Nan He smiled flatteringly, "I'm going to be the official Nan He."
This person must be replaced... Chunyu Jian made up his mind to serve as emperor and courtier, and said calmly: "Practice."
Then he kept shouting for kill all day long, looking extremely fierce.
"Sure enough, there is a ferocious spirit that makes them invincible." Chunyu Jian had never been in the army, and the Chunyu family had no tradition of producing generals.
But the staff member Zhu Chan once worked as a minor official in Jinwu Guard and knew a little bit about it.
Chunyu Jian said calmly: "From now on, Zhu Chan will lead the army."
Mr. Lang asked me to learn to smile flatteringly. It was really difficult!
Nan He, who finally no longer had to smile, roared: "I have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and I have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty..."
"go!"
Since Chun Yujian wanted to break up with each other, he naturally didn't care about driving away another person.
As for the army...
He walked to the front of the array and said calmly: "It's a good practice and a good fight. I will naturally wait for a way out for you."
Isn't Chunyu's guarantee stronger than that of that bumpkin Yang Xuan?
On the way back, a clerk asked for instructions, "Ming Mansion, someone said earlier... that it should be given meat."
"Give me some pigs."
"Mingfu, I'm afraid a few won't be enough."
"What's the meaning?"
Chunyu Jian felt something was wrong.
The clerk said: "They said they wanted to eat mutton."
"You bitch slave!" Chun Yujian sneered, "Are you trying to give me a blow and blackmail me?"
Zhu Chan narrowed his eyes, "This matter is not easy to handle. If I give it to you, will you give it to me in the future? If you don't give it to me, they will make a fuss..."
"Do they dare to rebel?"
"Of course I don't dare."
"Then let's give you the pig meat."
Chunyu Jian vaguely felt that this matter was inappropriate, but he knew that he could not give in, otherwise there would be no way out after giving in once.
This applies to both military management and herdsmanship. Many times, even if you make a mistake, you have to make it right.
Chunyu Jian immediately went to see King Wei, and when he came back he said, "King Wei refuses to send people thousands of miles away."
Zhu Chan said with a smile: "King Wei is cruel. Going to visit him is just a show. There is no need to worry about him in the future."
The first day was quite uneventful.
The same goes for the second day.
On the third day, some followers went to the street and had conflicts with people.
With just one punch, the woman in front of him fell down.
"Hit someone to death!"
Blood was slowly flowing under the woman's body.
The attendant scolded: "You bitch slave, please invite a doctor."
Chen Huagu, a famous doctor from Taiping, arrived with a medical kit on his back. After some diagnosis and treatment, he shook his head and sighed, "The child is gone."
The woman cried weakly, and then the whole family came, looking at the entourage who dared not speak in anger.
"Yue Er is dying." Someone was shouting.
Chen Huagu's expression changed, "I looked like I was dying yesterday, eh!"
After a while, Chen Huagu returned home.
Several plainclothes sergeants were waiting for him with smiles. Chen Huagu said dissatisfied: "You still can't trust me in such a thing?"
A sergeant said with a smile: "Brother Nan Wu said that of course he can trust you, but he is worried that that bitch slave will send someone to threaten you. No, let us brothers wait. If anyone dares to come, just scream for help at the top of your lungs, and then
It’s none of your business.”
Chen Huagu sat down, a little worried, "Will he not be able to fight?"
The sergeant said calmly: "The news came from the fast horse. The Ming Dynasty has cleared the grievances in Chang'an and will be promoted when he comes back. The Ming Dynasty said that he is still in Chenzhou."
"Still in Chenzhou?" Chen Huagu said happily: "Then what are you worried about? Just come."
Later, someone broke into Chen Huagu's home, and Chen Huagu immediately shouted for help.
"The Ming Dynasty wants me to change my words!" Chen Huagu looked frightened.
Chunyu Jian was still taking stock of Taiping affairs with Zhu Chan in the county hall, but he didn't know that many people were gradually surrounding him outside.
One by one, the people silently gathered in front of the county house.
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"Xinmingfu is looking down on human life!"
"The Xinming government is looking down on human life!" the crowd raised their arms and shouted.
"Please, Your Majesty, save me and wait!"
Chun Yujian in the county heard the shouting and stood up suddenly, "Who is outside?"
Zhen Siwen concealed his disdain in the audience and said calmly: "People."
