Lu Qingyang, the prefect of Yangzhou, is a smart man with all-round skills. He never makes the first move and does things steadily. He never offends anyone.
Zhen Lian is a murder suspect who has both the person and the stolen goods. According to the law, he must be detained in Yangzhou Prefecture? Okay, then I will be ordered to take the person and keep him in prison.
Zhen Lian is the son of the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Can't he offend the Zhen family? Okay, then I will give him the best care a prisoner can get in prison.
Mr. Zhen sent someone to deliver something to his nephew? Yes, check it carefully. As long as there is nothing wrong with it, just send it. You will not be wronged by your nephew.
Mr. Lin requested that the memorial be reviewed and submitted in a timely manner according to the law? Yes, there are many procedures to be followed, and the report should be submitted in a timely manner without any omissions.
Magistrate Lu is such a "good" official who does his duty but never causes trouble for himself. He protects others and protects himself. Although he has no political achievements, he has always had a good reputation in the court and among the people.
Because of his outstanding performance, he has stayed in a prosperous place like Yangzhou.
It has been five years now. If you are "competent" in this year's evaluation, you will definitely be promoted. Therefore, if you are as smart as him, you must not offend others at this time.
Hearing that Lin Ruhai, the salt censor of the Huaihe River, moved his family to Guanglinglou for a temporary residence, Magistrate Lu hurriedly brought the manuscript of his collection of poems to greet him, and repeatedly blamed himself, "It is a dereliction of duty for the commission to fail to properly settle a national pillar like Mr. Lin."<
/p>
Upon learning that Lianghuai Yanzheng Zhen Huan suddenly fell ill, Magistrate Lu immediately came to visit with the "hometown specialties" Cordyceps sinensis and ginseng. His face was full of concern and he said many heart-warming words, "I beg you to please take care of your health for the country."
.
Over the years, he has had dealings with major salt merchants in Yangzhou, but he has never accepted a gift of one tael of silver.
When the salt merchants were too kind to refuse, Magistrate Lu only accepted some small and elegant gifts, so as not to make the salt merchants feel that they were too aloof and unkind. After all, officials who are disconnected from the people are not good officials.<
/p>
These small gifts, such as a small "Five Cows" by Han Huan of the Tang Dynasty, a small top-quality Tianhuang three-chain medal, or a small Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln azure glaze brush washer, are all worthless.
The little things of elegance do not harm Mr. Lu’s good reputation.
Moreover, he always had to sneak around and avoid being seen, which really made Magistrate Lu very reluctant to do so.
This time something went wrong with Mr. Yanzheng Zhen, and Jiang Chun, the leader of the eight major salt merchants, also fell into disgrace. The other salt merchants were also worried. While collecting money to send away Jia Lian, this prickly man, they went around to inquire about the news. Naturally,
It is inevitable to run to Magistrate Lu.
Magistrate Lu is a master of "walking among thousands of flowers without leaving a single leaf on his body". After visiting Mr. Zhen, he immediately understood that something was wrong and immediately fell ill upon hearing the news. Moreover, he was very ill and was bedridden.
Unable to see anyone.
The salt administration master in Yangzhou fell ill, and his parents, the official Mr. Lu, also fell ill. Now, many salt merchants in Yangzhou city became orphans without parents, crying out for food, and living in panic.
But after all, there are still people who can barely hold on to God.
For example, Jiang Chun, who had a friendship with the Supreme Emperor, immediately tried his best to deliver a message to the Daming Palace after returning home;
For example, Shen Chu, who was related to the King of Beijing, sent people to Beijing overnight to find the King of Beijing for help;
Another example is Bao Daozhi, who sent his nephew to the palace as an errand. Not only did he write a letter asking his nephew to inquire about the situation, but he also found out about the palace painter who had given him twenty taels of gold and painted a portrait of his father.
At this time, the eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers. Black cats and white cats, the one that catches mice is a good cat.
Of course Master Zhen Huanzhen cannot be a stupid cat. He is a presbyopic cat who is half really sick and half pretending to be sick.
He understood that the key to this matter was to find out who was behind Jia Lian. He also understood that the most difficult problem to solve was that his nephew Zhen Lian was also involved in a murder case. Criminal cases are harder to clear than corruption cases. .
As soon as he returned to the house, Lian Yeqiang wrote two letters.
One letter was sent to Jinling, asking my brother to find a solution quickly; the other letter was sent directly to the capital. As long as the news can be sent to the old concubine, the matter may turn around.
.
The moon shines brightly on Kyushu,
Some are happy and some are sad.
From ancient times to the present, from south to north, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
On their side, dark clouds were covering the city, but on the other side, Lin Ruhai finally managed to see the moonlight when the clouds cleared. She was in a great mood and her health was getting better and better.
The weather has been fine these past few days. In the eyes of Lin Dawen, it was even more like "the sky in Yangzhou is sunny." He actually put down his books for one day and invited Jia Lian to visit the Daming Temple on Shugang in the north of the city to pay homage. Ruins of Qiling Pagoda.
Jia Lian was naturally happy to go.
It is much better to go out for sightseeing in the countryside than to be dragged around the noisy streets by Zhuyu and Qingwen.
Of course, Jia Lian was also very happy to see Lin Dawen's energy getting better and better day by day.
Finally, through his own efforts, he personally changed Lin Ruhai's life and death, and also changed Lin Daiyu's future destiny.
If Lin Ruhai had not died, he would have remained a confidant of the current emperor, his official position would have been promoted, and Lin Daiyu would not have become an orphan.
With the support of her father, a high-ranking official, Sister Lin can change her miserable fate of being lonely and helpless, crying all her tears, and dying miserably.
In addition, he had rescued Qin Keqing, changed the fate of Qin Keqing who died unjustly and suffered an infamy, slashed the "Ten Thousand Years Plank" with a sword, and obtained a powerful official position, and had also begun to change the declining trend of the Jia family.
What's more, now that he has received the full support of the famous Salt Gang, Jia Lian's confidence in being able to completely change the spirit of the Red Mansion is getting stronger and stronger.
.
Shugang is four miles northwest of Yangzhou City. The land is high and the slope is gentle. The mountain has three peaks: east, west and middle. Surrounded by Pingshan Tangwu in the middle, there is a river to the south, which leads to Slender West Lake.
The Daming Temple on Shugang is the first of the eight major temples in the county. It was once the place where the famous monk Jianzhen gave lectures and precepts.
We walked all the way through the Main Hall, the Reclining Buddha Hall, and the Hongfo Pavilion, and finally arrived at the ruins of the Qiling Pagoda.
The Qiling Pagoda was originally built by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty to celebrate his birthday. It is majestic and towers into the sky. Li Bai, Gao Shi, Liu Changqing, Jiang Huan, Chen Run, Liu Yuxi, and Bai Juyi all visited it and left behind eternal masterpieces. Unfortunately, it was
Destroyed in the third year of Huichang in Tang Dynasty.
In the first year of Jingde reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, a seven-level multi-treasure pagoda was rebuilt on the original site. Unfortunately, it was destroyed again in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Lin Ruhai shook his head repeatedly and sighed:
"When Qin Shaoyou came here, he wrote a poem and said: 'If a tourist talks about the beauty of climbing, he must take the first view of Huaidong.' This shows that when you climb the tower, you can overlook the entire Daming Temple, Slender West Lake and Yangzhou City. How beautiful it is.
.
It is a pity and a pity that the base of the tower is left in a mess now."
Jia Lian was used to seeing high-rise buildings in his previous life, so he didn't have that much expectation for climbing the tower. He just saw Lin Dawen's emotion, so he sighed in agreement.
In this situation, Jia Lian originally thought that Lin University would be inspired by poetry, but he was worried that he would not be able to do such an elegant behavior of "vomiting sour water". However, he saw Lin Ruhai pointing towards the place where the boat girls gathered in the dock at the foot of the mountain and said,
:
“‘It’s rare to smile in this world, and you have to return with a head full of chrysanthemums.’ In life, you still need to be cheerful.
We might as well get on a flower boat, with the beautiful scenery in front of us, the wine in our hands, and the beauties... Playing and singing, we can swim all the way to Slender West Lake, how beautiful it is."
Damn it! Lin Daxue asked if you want to take me to drink flower wine?
