In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and it is July, and the hottest period of midsummer has passed.
In the past month, Hu Shilang of the Nanhu Department, Tang Qianxian of the Nandu Procuratorate, and Zhang Yushi have all been dismissed from office and sent to the northern capital for interrogation.
As for the Qingxi House and vegetable garden, after the government office handed it over to the county government, the county government returned it to Qin Dewei, and all the furniture inside was replaced with new ones.
Therefore, Hua Tong of the government office was sentenced to a crime and stayed in office for one year, and was sent to Suzhou to supervise the production of gold bricks.
As a result, the number of urban legends about the Embroidered Clothes Envoy increased a lot. It was rumored that the peerless demon boy turned his hands into clouds and made rain. He directly uprooted the official power of the Xin'an (Business) Gang, the richest, and sent them to the capital's West Market Fortress.
Kill a person and his head will roll.
Tea sales in Nanjing City dropped by another 10%.
Qin Dewei's other target, Jiang Fuyin of Yingtian Mansion, was very cautious in doing things and did not reach out easily, so Qin Dewei did not catch any problems.
But there is a Second Master Jiang in Nanjing who is good at giving away people's lives! He can scratch out a lot of problems from Second Master Jiang, and then accuse Jiang Fuyin of "You don't teach your children well, and you let your children do evil".
It's the fault of a son who doesn't teach his father, and he can't even take care of his son, so why should he be a minister of the capital? He should move his position as soon as possible, and go to any province as an inspector-general, as long as he doesn't become an eyesore in the city of Nanjing.
Qin Dewei felt very insecure with such a governor always standing over his head.
At this time, it was less than a month before the Nanzhili Township Examination, and the atmosphere among Nanjing scholars changed again.
For most of them, it was time to sharpen their weapons before the battle. There was a sudden increase in serious literary meetings, and gossip was flying all over the sky.
Of course, grand ceremonies such as the Provincial Examination have nothing to do with Qin Dewei, a primary school student. His daily job is to organize documents. A large number of self-examination books from yamen in Nanjing are all sent to Qin Dewei's desk, which is quite boring and boring.
Qin Dewei was helpless about this, and Wang Dasima refused to let him go. He had to make his own ideas with tears in his eyes.
I can only occasionally cheer myself up by inviting people over for tea.
All the tea merchants in Nanjing want to collectively petition, asking Mr. Xiao Qin to stop asking for tea!
In fact, Qin Dewei still feels very Muggle at heart. After all, Nanjing City was a capital city in the Ming Dynasty, so the standards of the yamen in Nanjing City were also very high.
As a temporary librarian in the Huitong Library, Qin Dewei, no matter how courageous he is, can't help but feel anxious when searching for passages and excerpts from so many self-reflection books of second- and third-grade yamen.
If you do this kind of work to the end, will Wang Dashima be used as a scapegoat to take the blame?
In novels, this is how the superiors do things! Look at the history books, people like Zhang Tang, Zhi Du, Lai Junchen, Luo Xiangjiwang, there are several good endings!
Although Qin Dewei also knew that Wang Da Sima's character was not like this, at least he was considered a gentleman in historical evaluation.
But Qin Dewei still didn't want to leave his fate completely in the hands of others. After a quick calculation, he found that there were only a few days left in the two-month writing deadline. It was only right to wait until the time to resign and leave.
Anyway, until now, I have taken all the credit for my hard work, and helped Wang Da Sima earn all the face, and Wang Da Sima may have earned many favors in private.
Bringing Fei to such an extent is worthy of Wang Da Sima's kindness in protecting him and the grace of giving the Xu family a hundred households.
As the saying goes, retreat bravely from the rapids, and stop when you are ready. It depends on Da Sima's intentions, but it seems that he still doesn't want to let himself go.
When Qin Dewei was thinking wildly, Wang Tingxiang came to the Huitong Hall from the Ministry of War and summoned him. He directly instructed: "Don't hold on to Jiang Fuyin anymore, let go."
Qin Dewei was stunned and asked: "Is this what you mean, sir?"
Wang Tingxiang nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
This is different from what was agreed in advance! Qin Dewei said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, you want to show favoritism?"
There were so many flaws that Wang Tingxiang didn't know where to start. With all the things you, Qin Dewei, did, you still had the courage and shame to question me for favoritism?
Of course, the reason why Wang Tingxiang suddenly changed his attitude and let Jiang Fuyin go must have been because of someone's public relations, so it was really hard to defend himself against being accused of favoritism by Qin Dewei, who knew the inside story.
He could only act like a superior and said: "I have my own considerations and you don't need to question me! Just do your part!"
"I disagree with the Lord's order! Lord Jiang is indeed not suitable for Jing Zhaoyin!" Qin Dewei suddenly pushed back firmly and refused to give in.
This was the first time that Wang Tingxiang was contradicted by Qin Dewei like this. He felt very embarrassed and shouted: "You are just a calligrapher. You have no right to act independently. Just follow orders!"
Qin Dewei sighed: "People of different ways do not agree with each other. Since the boss treats me like a small official with a sword and pen, I will not be shameless to stay. The deadline for writing is approaching, so I say goodbye!"
Then Qin Dewei gave a big salute, then turned around and walked out, walking very fast, almost walking.
Wang Tingxiang was shocked, are young people nowadays so temperamental? If they don't agree with each other, they will let go and leave? The scholarly style in Jiangnan is indeed impetuous, and it should be rectified!
Seeing Qin Dewei disappear outside the gate, Wang Tingxiang was in a daze for a while, and suddenly realized something. He suddenly stood up, put his hands on his forehead, and said in annoyance: "I have misled him!"
Qin Dewei definitely did this on purpose! He deliberately found a reason to disagree with himself, and then pretended to resign in anger and leave!
But because of his face, he couldn't directly ask to stay, and then he ran away!
It's not that easy to run away! Wang Dasima quickly called the military officer and ordered: "Send someone to find Qin Dewei!"
After running out of the hall, Qin Dewei immediately hired a sedan chair, paid double the price, and carried him to Jiangning County Government Office as quickly as possible.
Returning to the county government office where he had been away for nearly two months, Qin Dewei felt no stranger at all. He walked straight into the six-bedroom area from the gate.
As he walked, he secretly sighed that the people here were still so warm and everyone knew how to greet him; they were still so polite and everyone knew how to avoid crossing paths and salute.
They don’t become strangers at all just because they haven’t seen each other for two months. It’s rare, rare!
The six offices of the county government were lined up on both sides of the corridor. Qin Dewei walked to the door of the ceremony room and called inside: "Is Yao Lishu here?"
Then I saw Chief Yao of the ceremonial room opening the curtain to welcome me out. He asked a little nervously: "Why did Mr. Xiao Qin come to see me today? Do you want to invite me down for tea?"
Qin Dewei denied it unceremoniously and said: "Bah! Are you worthy of drinking tea?"
Secretary Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "To be honest, I still want to go. It is said that if you are less than sixth grade, you are not qualified to drink tea."
"Stop being so long-winded!" Qin Dewei impatiently stopped the greetings and said directly: "Hurry up and go through the formalities for me to use me as a clerk in the reception room! After all, I am also a citizen of Jiangning County!"
Official Yao asked in surprise: "Is it because Da Sima is ignoring you, or is Wang Lianqing not having fun anymore? Why do you come over to tease me?"
