Sun Sui looked at Xu Jin with joy. At this moment, he appointed a fifteen-year-old scholar as the sixth-grade general judge. Although it was suspected of seeking medical treatment in a hurry, it was a decision made by Sun Sui after careful consideration.

Although Xu Jin is young, he is mature and stable. He cannot be treated as an ordinary teenager. Didn't his friend Fei Hong also praise him for his talents as a public official?

Moreover, through personal contact, Sun Sui also felt that Xu Jin was tactful in his words and deeds, and his vision was sharp and far-sighted. If he had listened to him and moved the governor's Yamen to Nankang City, he would not be in the predicament he is in today.

.

Xu Jin glanced at the flushed old man Jiazi and said hesitantly: "Master Sun, the student is young and has little qualifications. I'm afraid he won't be able to take on such a big responsibility."

The implication of Xu Jin's words is that with his talent reaching the rank of a crown prince and his reputation as a mere scholar, even if he takes the position of general judge, he may not be able to control the officials of various states and counties, as well as the generals of the guards.

Sun Sui said disapprovingly: "There is no priority in learning, the master is the teacher; the good talent is put to good use, and the capable one lives there. Therefore, Zi Qian does not need to belittle oneself, and there is no need to worry. I will write a letter of appointment in handwriting, asking you to temporarily act as Guangxin

I have the post of general magistrate of the government to control the troops and horses of the counties. I will have the commander Fei Zichong to support me, so no one will dare to resist or disobey the order."

Seeing that Xu Jin still looked hesitant, Sun Sui couldn't help but sigh and said: "I am incompetent and have trapped Jiangxi in turmoil. If the war breaks out, the people will lose their lives and damage the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If Zi Qian can protect one state and one county, he will also

This can be considered as reducing my guilt. Could it be that Zi Qian couldn’t bear to watch me die...cough cough cough!"

As Sun Sui spoke, he was so excited that he coughed violently, making a sound in his chest, and his old face flushed. The soldier who was supporting Sun Sui quickly patted his chest gently.

Speaking of this, Xu Jin could not refuse again, and solemnly bowed and said: "Since Mr. Sun trusts the student so much, then the student will accept the order. Mr. Sun will have a good life, and your injury will get better.

"

Sun Sui stopped coughing, a smile appeared on his face, and nodded: "Okay, Xiao Xie, you go find paper and pen, I will write a letter of appointment in handwriting."

"Master Sun..."

Sun Sui waved his hand to stop Xu Jin who was trying to dissuade him, and Xie Erjian ran out quickly.

There happened to be a Confucian boy in the village who was going to school, so Xie Erjian quickly borrowed pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and also got cinnabar.

Sun Suiqiang supported his sick body and sat down at the table with the support of his soldiers. He spread out the rough bamboo paper and wrote a letter of appointment. Then he took off the governor's seal hanging on his waist and dipped it in cinnabar.

Put a seal on the paper.

After doing all this, Sun Sui finally felt relieved, and as if he had exhausted all his strength, he tremblingly handed the letter of appointment to Xu Jin, and said weakly: "Everything is entrusted to Ziqian!"

Xu Jin solemnly took the letter of appointment and put it in his arms, and said solemnly: "Students should do their best. If someone comes, please help Mr. Sun lie down and rest."

Xie Erjian quickly stepped forward and picked up Sun Sui and put him back on the bed. The skinny old man was as light as a handful of straw.

At this moment, the sparkle in Sun Sui's eyes had gradually faded away, and the blood on his face had faded away, turning into a dead gray. The sixty-year-old man looked like a candle that was about to burn out.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. It looked like Sun Sui was afraid that he wouldn't survive tonight.

"Xian son-in-law, I heard that the governor is awake, and I came here to have a look!" A middle-aged man as strong as an iron tower pushed open the door and walked in. It was Xie Qing, the father-in-law.

Xu Jin said quickly: "My father-in-law is here just in time. Please feel the pulse of Mr. Sun."

Xie Qing glanced at Sun Sui who was furious on the bed, and couldn't help but secretly screamed that something was wrong. He quickly stepped forward and checked Sun Sui's pulse, and said calmly: "Master Sun, the common people need to change your medicine. I'm sorry!"

After Xie Qing finished speaking, he turned Sun Sui over, took off the clothes on his upper body, and then lifted off the gauze that wrapped the wound, revealing the wound underneath.

Xu Jin glanced at it, and his heart suddenly went cold. He saw that the flesh around the wound had begun to rot, and it was obviously inflammation. In this era without antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, wound inflammation was equivalent to a death sentence.

Xie Qing shook his head imperceptibly to Xu Jin, applied new medicine, bandaged it, and said with relief: "Master Sun, rest well, this injury will get better!"

Sun Sui forced a smile and said: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, brother. Xiao Xie, Xiao Wang, you will be responsible for protecting Zi Qian's safety from now on, and you will obey his orders in everything."

This tone was obviously explaining the funeral affairs. Sun Sui was very aware of his injuries, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to appoint Xu Jin as the general judge of Guangxin Mansion.

A group of personal guards promised with red eyes: "I obey my orders!"

Sun Sui waved his hand and said with a tired expression: "You all can go out. I'm sleepy and need to rest for a while. There's no need to wait here."

Everyone left sadly and closed the door to the room.

Xie Qing whispered: "Xian son-in-law, I'm afraid Mr. Sun won't survive tonight."

Xu Jin sighed secretly: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Let's go back and rest. We have to travel tomorrow."

…

On the 19th day of the first lunar month in the 14th year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Chou period, Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, died of his injuries and died in Yangang Village, Qianshan County at the age of sixty.

Oh oh oh...

The loud crow of the big rooster woke up the sleeping small mountain village, and a red sun jumped out from the horizon, emitting thousands of rays of light to dispel the darkness before dawn.

Bangdang...

The door of Sun Sui's room opened, and Xu Jin walked out of it. His expression was calm, and he could not see any emotions or sorrows. Although his eyes were bloodshot, he looked quite energetic. A piece of white cloth was wrapped around his right arm.

The soldiers who had been waiting outside the yard with their horses for a long time looked at each other. Each of them had a piece of white cloth wrapped around their right arm, and the atmosphere was silent and a bit desolate.

A soldier stepped forward, performed a military salute on one knee, and said loudly: "Master Tongpan, everything is ready."

Xu Jin recognized Sun Sui's soldier as Wang Lin'er, who was quite outstanding in martial arts. Besides Xie Erjian, it was his turn. He nodded and said: "Wang Baihu, please come out with Mr. Sun's body!"

Sun Sui's personal soldiers totaled 300 people, and they established a hundred households and two deputy hundred households. Wang Lin'er was one of the deputy hundred households and the only remaining hundred households.

Wang Lin'er agreed, went to the room, took Sun Sui's body out, carefully placed it on a cart, covered it with a quilt, and fixed it with ropes. The cart was bought from the villagers of Yangang Village.

, Er Niu is responsible for driving the cart.

Xu Jin silently lit three sticks of incense and placed them in front of the cart. He solemnly bowed three times to Sun Sui's body and said softly: "Master Sun, let's set off."

A group of soldiers knelt down on one knee towards the cart and shouted in unison: "Sir, let's set off!"

The surrounding villagers couldn't help but pay homage to Sun Sui's body. Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er's eyes were slightly red.

"Mount your horse!" Xu Jin gave the order, and all the soldiers immediately stood up and mounted their horses.

Xu Jin turned around and faced the villagers around him, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm disturbing you fellow villagers!"

The village chief of Yangang Village, an old man in his sixties, quickly bowed his hands and returned the gift: "Master Tongpan is too polite. This is what we should do. Governor Sun is a good official. If he hadn't wiped out the nearby Qianshan

The thieves and bandits, we don’t know how much disaster we will suffer. It’s a pity that such a good official was killed by Prince Ning who suffered a thousand blows.”

Just when Xu Jin was about to give the order to set off, he suddenly saw a villager carrying a hoe running over in a panic and shouting: "No, there is a group of horseback soldiers coming from the official road and they are heading towards our village."

Here we are. Those guys chopped down several sugar cane trees at Lai Wang's house, as if they were reincarnated by starving ghosts. Fortunately, I escaped quickly!"

Xu Jin's face darkened. It was most likely that the pursuers were here, his grandmother's. These bastards were really bullshit. He asked calmly: "Fellow, how many people are there on the other side?"

The villager said with lingering fear: "There are about forty or fifty people. They all ride horses and carry weapons. They look fierce. By the way, some of them are dirty and covered in mud."

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he was sure that the group of pursuers had arrived, and it seemed that they had fallen into the trap he had set, but he didn't know how many thieves fell into the trap.

Xie Yidao said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, it's not too late. Let's set off immediately. If it's later, it'll be too late!"

A cold light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, and he shook his head and said: "It's too late, let alone what will happen to the villagers if we leave?"

The village leader of Yangang Village said quickly: "Master Tongpan, feel free to leave. Let's just go up the mountain and hide. Bandits have come to the village to rob us before, and this is what we did."

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'll take the villagers up the mountain to take shelter immediately. Yue'er, give me ten taels of silver."

"Yes, sir!"

Yue'er quickly took out a piece of silver from her bag and handed it to Xu Jin. Xu Jin took it and stuffed it into Muramasa's hand. The latter asked in astonishment: "Master Tongpan, why did you give me so much silver?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid some houses in the village will be damaged later. These money rights will be used as compensation. I hope I won't refuse!"

Muramasa looked confused. Could it be that he still wanted to fight in the village? There were forty or fifty people on the other side, could he beat them?

Xu Jin frowned and urged: "My father-in-law, please take the folks up the mountain immediately. If you wait any longer, it will be too late!"

"Oh... Listen to the judge, everyone, go up the mountain immediately!" Muramasa stuffed ten taels of silver into his arms and shouted loudly.

There were only about a dozen households in Yangang Village, and there was nothing valuable at home. The villagers went home and took some clothes and food to keep out the cold, and then ran away to the back mountain in a hurry.

Xu Jin looked calmly and said: "Wang Baihu, please bring Mr. Sun's body back to the house for the time being. I want to prepare a sacrifice to comfort his soul in heaven!"

The eyes of all the soldiers lit up, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly rose from their bodies, and their blood boiled instantly!

Xie Qing poked the ground with the machete in his hand and laughed loudly: "Okay, I know that there are tigers in the mountains, so I went to the tiger mountains. You are worthy of being my good son-in-law, Xie Qing!"

Xu Jin raised his head and looked at the official road opposite the village. A group of tired soldiers had already appeared in sight.
