On the way back home, Chen Guiyi met Wang Jin's sedan chair.
Wang Jin felt proud when he learned that the sedan chair opposite was Chen Guiyi's. He also remembered that day when he went to the door to ask Chen Guiyi for his ancestor to be included in the hero's book but was rejected, and felt angry.
Wang Jin rolled up the curtain and said: "Hey, isn't this the famous and famous Chen Guiyi and Chen Shijun? Where are you going? This is not the way to meet the official? Oh, I forgot, I forgot.
Now that you have been demoted from the official family, you are no longer a minister. I am offended, hahaha,,,"
Wang Jin smiled, causing the bearers to laugh too, and Chen Guiyi's face was full of ridicule.
Chen Guiyi's bearers and entourage were dissatisfied and wanted to argue, but Chen Guiyi stopped them.
Wang Jin laughed again and said: "Chen Shijun, I still have important things to do, so I can't delay. Unlike you, who has nothing to do and is light on your body, please make way for me. I will hold a banquet to thank you the next day."
"
Chen Guiyi took one look at Wang Jin's arrogant look, felt disgusted in his heart, and was ashamed to talk to him. He ordered the bearer to move the sedan aside and let Wang Jin pass first.
Wang Jin was even more proud when he saw Chen Guiyi surrendering, and left in a sedan chair laughing.
Chen Guiyi, the boy who followed him, was dissatisfied and said: "That guy is so rude, why should the master be afraid of him?"
Chen Guiyi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Wang Jin is just a villain, why bother talking to him?"
After that, Chen Guiyi ordered the bearers to get up and return home.
When Wang Jin returned to his residence, Ding Chang and Mark had been waiting for a long time.
When the three met, they immediately began to conspire, hoping to take advantage of Chen Guiyi's new arrival to get the position of Lin'an Prefecture Yin. This would lay the foundation for Wang Jin to enter the political hall and become the prime minister.
Mark was smarter. He had already thought of a way. He said to Wang Jin: "Although the officials exiled Chen Guiyi, their intention to reform has not changed. At this time, if they want to win the high position of Lin'an Governor, they need to let the officials
Some people believe that you have a great influence on the reform.
My method is to ask you to immediately submit a letter to the officials, and ask the officials to appoint veteran ministers such as Cui Yu, Hong Zikui and others to preside over the reform, so that the officials will think that you support the reform wholeheartedly and that you are one of the officials."
Wang Jin deeply agreed, and then Mark continued: "After gaining further trust from the officials, I will write to you again, hoping to take the lead in setting up a government office in Lin'an and implement the compulsory teaching method, so as to set an example for the world. The officials will definitely agree. At that time,
With the official's frequent promotions and eclectic employment habits, it was a matter of course for him to be awarded the post of Lin'an Governor."
Wang Jin was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said: "Miao Miao Miao, your words are very kind. When I become the governor of Lin'an, I will definitely recommend you to the officials."
"Thank you, envoy."
Mark was excited and raised his hand to thank him.
Mark looked at Ding Chang again and said to him: "Although Chen Guiyi has been overthrown this time, the officials have not completely given up on him. You have also made the officials unhappy to some extent. Please don't submit a letter or lurk for the time being."
Doing nothing is the best policy."
Ding Chang nodded, deeply convinced, and admired Mark's talent.
Then Wang Jin held a banquet in the mansion and entertained Mark and Ding Chang warmly. When Mark and Ding Chang left after having enough wine and food, Wang Jin called his confidant Wang Zhong to his side and whispered to him.
After speaking, Wang Jin said: "This matter must be handled carefully, kept secret, and must not be known to outsiders."
Wang Zhongnai has been a slave of the Wang family for generations and is extremely loyal. He nodded solemnly and said: "Please don't worry, Master. If the matter is exposed, I will die immediately and I will never let the Master be disturbed."
"Well, very good, you will be rewarded a lot when you come back. If you fail, I will take good care of your little family. Your only son is not young anymore. It doesn't hurt to give him a future in the future."
Wang Zhong was so excited that he knelt on the ground, burst into tears, and said, "Thank you so much, Lord, for your great kindness."
"It's not early, let's go and do it."
"Yes." Wang Zhong stepped back carefully.
However, it was said that Chen Guiyi left Lin'an and said goodbye to Li Zongmian, Chen Longzhi, Chen Guiqian and other relatives and friends outside the city. It was raining heavily when he left, which made him extremely sad.
Chen Guiyi and his family took three carriages and embarked on the journey to Yangzhou.
The journey was uneventful. On the third day, when Chen Guiyi continued on his way and passed a mountain road, he suddenly heard a roar.
Chen Guiyi was shocked and hurriedly opened the curtain to check. He saw dozens of bandits rushing towards him. Chen Guiyi's expression suddenly changed.
How can there be bandits running rampant when the emperor is walking majestically at his feet?
"Husband, what should we do?"
Chen Guiyi's wife was frightened and hid behind Chen Guiyi with her children. Chen Guiyi drew out his sword and said: "My husband is here, don't panic."
After saying that, Chen Guiyi took a few steps forward with his sword and shouted angrily: "I am Chen Guiyi, the former Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, but you dare to commit lawlessness and plunder money, but treat our laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing? You will leave quickly today.
I will not investigate the matter, but if you dare to take a step forward again, I will kill you without mercy!"
Chen Guiyi's sword-wielding talent was so heroic that even the bandits did not dare to look down upon him.
However, this group of bandits were obviously well prepared, and one of them was Wang Jin’s confidant Wang Zhong!
It turned out that Wang Jin actually asked Wang Zhong to assassinate Chen Guiyi. Wang Zhong informed the local bandit leader Yin Tian about the news and exaggerated Chen Guiyi's wealth. Yin Tian could not resist the temptation of gold and silver, so he came to kill people and buy goods.
Wang Zhong said to Yi Xiantian: "He is Chen Guiyi. The goods in the carriage are worth at least ten thousand gold."
"Hahaha,,,"
The bandit leader Xiantian was overjoyed and said to Chen Guiyi: "Guan Guan, you are corrupt, pervert the law, and oppress the people. Today I, Xiantian, will stand up for the people and kill you, the dog official."
After saying that, Yixiantian said loudly to his men behind him: "Brothers, this dog official is corrupt and perverts the law. His possessions are all looted from the people's fat and anointed people. Let's kill him today to eliminate harm for the people!"
"Remove harm for the people, remove harm for the people."
The bandits found a reason and were no longer afraid of Chen Guiyi. After all, there were many people on their side, and Chen Guiyi only had a few servants and grooms around him.
Chen Guiyi held the sword tightly, with sharp eyes, protecting his wife and children behind him, and was not afraid of the bandits charging towards him.
Just when the bandits were about to approach Chen Guiyi, they heard a few "whirring" sounds of strong wind, and four or five sharp arrows suddenly shot at the bandits, killing and wounding three of them immediately. The bandits were frightened and stopped in a hurry.
Not daring to rush any further, he opened his head and looked around.
"The brave bandit dares to intercept and kill an official, and he will die!"
A roar came, and a heroic man in his thirties led five or six people to fight out. They were all burly, holding sharp blades, and had bows and arrows on their backs. Without saying a word, they rushed into the bandits and killed them in all directions.
