After Jiangdong Inspector Jia Pengyu became an official, most of his achievements were in Xingcao, but since he was from the Western Qin Dynasty, he was inevitably branded as a Western Qin sect.
Last year, the officers and soldiers were severely defeated by the Donghu people at Chentangyi in northern Hebei, and their vitality was severely damaged. They also forced the central government to accept the surrender of the She family on the humiliating condition of breaking the earth and granting a title, in exchange for elite soldiers from the southeast to support the northern line. The Battle of Chentangyi This caused the Holy Emperor to lose all confidence in the officials of the Western Qin faction who were in power. Even though the leader of the Western Qin faction, Chen Xinbo, could barely maintain his position, he was still shaky. The other officials of the Western Qin faction in the court were either demoted or dismissed. The Western Qin sect, which was very prosperous for a while, was about to completely fall.
Jia Pengyu was able to get rid of Jiangdong's Inspectorate because of his familiarity with the laws and regulations. He was well-known in Jiangdong for being honest, diligent, prudent, and good at making decisions. But he knew that these could not be his talisman. When Gu Wuchen, a new upstart of the Chu Party, came aggressively, he thought It would be great if I could retire and return home smoothly.
Jia Pengyu, who was in his sixties, had a short beard and slightly frosty hair on his temples. Under the light, he squinted at Lin Fu who was standing in the courtyard. He looked at the young man named Jiang Ning who had made a fuss in the feudal mansion the previous night. When he saw him He has a tall and straight figure and a calm demeanor. Although he is a Confucian scholar in Juzi, he still has a heroic appearance. He is the most talented and weak at the age of Juzi. No wonder Gu Wuchen tried to protect him to be the prison officer of Jiangdao Prison, but he felt strange in his heart. : Why didn’t he go to the capital to take part in the examination in order to gain a more prominent position? He thought to himself: It would be better if he didn’t want this prestigious position. The cliques in the DPRK and China would attack him. Hedong in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years, maybe ten or eight years later. The Chu party has lost power again, and the whirlpool that squeezed into the center may not have any corpses left, so it is better to stay in place and be more stable.
At this time, Jia Pengyu only thought about being able to return to his hometown safely. Maybe in a few years when the Chu Party would decline, he would still have the opportunity to become an official. However, at this time, he would not touch Gu Wuchen's bad luck for no reason, although he had deep feelings for Gu Wuchen's strong recommendation. He was a little repelled, but seeing Lin Fu's extraordinary bearing with his own eyes, and Lin Fu had indeed made great contributions today, he was not too cold, and pressed Lin Fu's shoulder eagerly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll take care of the young man recommended by Mr. Gu." People do have a future." As for the details of Lin Fu's long detour from Nancheng before bringing him into the city, Jia Pengyu would not go into details. Besides, Lin Fu and the others walked through the Donghua Gate, and most of the She family's aunt and sister-in-law would. If it was intercepted by the people from Jiangning Prefecture's Military and Horse Department, the credit of the Inspector's Department would be insignificant. From this perspective, Jia Pengyu also felt that Lin Fu and the others had done a good job.
"Lin Fu relies on the cultivation of these two adults for everything." Lin Fu said.
She Mingyue and her sister-in-law She Song stood in the yard with their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered. They did not know the identities of Lin Fu and the others along the way, but they were afraid that they would be led away around the city. At this time, they saw Jiang Ning's inspector and deputy inspector. The officials were all very close to this young man named "Lin Fu", and they were even more curious: Who is he? Before they came here, they had not heard of any wealthy family named Lin in Jiangning City.
At this time, Yang Pu prepared a quiet room and invited the She family's aunt and sister-in-law to go in and take a rest. The She family's aunt and sister-in-law were resting in the quiet room for a while when they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the gate, and the soldiers on duty outside the Yamen. Loudly announced that Jiangning Prefecture Yin Wang Xueshan, Jiangning Prefecture Soldiers and Horses Division Zuo Sikou joined the army Zhang Yubo and others were coming. The steps in the yard were chaotic, and then they heard familiar voices coming from the yard. She Mingyue couldn't hold it back for a moment, and she couldn't live up to expectations. After crying, he opened the door and saw his second brother standing in the yard surrounded by guards, greeting the two officers of the Envoy Department. He choked and shouted: "Second brother..."
Lin Fu stood quietly behind Gu Wuchen and watched She Feihu, the second son of Shewenzhuang, the Marquis of Jin'an, walk in accompanied by Xueshan, King Yin of Jiangning Prefecture, and Zhang Yubo, Zuo Sikou of Jiangning Prefecture, who joined the army.
Although She Feihu came to Jiangning this time to serve as the envoy to Jiangning, the Marquis of Jin'an, and was a civil servant of the sixth rank, he was currently wearing crimson copper rivets inlaid with steel sheets and a black leather ring with gold inlay around his waist.
He was wearing a bronze sheath and a sword. His left hand was wrapped in white cloth. It seemed that he was slightly injured while fighting with the assassin. One of the two attendants behind him held a lacquered red copper feathered jacket for him, and the other helped him hold it at chest height.
The blade of the sword shines brightly under the light, making She Feihu look murderous. In addition, he has a tall and straight figure, a slightly thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are as bright as lightning, making him very attractive.
If he hadn't seen him sitting outside Donghua Gate in the afternoon, watching his wife, and his sister risking her life to lure away most of the assassins for him, Lin Fu might have regarded him as a first-class hero, but at this time, there was a smile on his face.
With a smile that was not so clear under the light, watching him and Jia Pengyu, Gu Wuchen chatting in the yard, he thought to himself that even though She Feihu was a person, he was just a traitor.
She Mingyue rushed out excitedly, while She Song, She Feihu's wife, calmly held the door and called softly: "Husband, you are here..." Pingting walked to She Feihu's side and was very docile.
They bowed their heads and bowed to Wang Xueshan, Zhang Yubo and others.
"May I ask which of the righteous men saved Zhuo Jing and my sister-in-law? Feihu should express his gratitude as a generous gift." She Feihu clasped his fists and said to everyone in the yard.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Mr. Lin is not talented. He and his servant happened to be lucky enough to save your wife and your sister outside Donghua Gate." Lin Fu stood up and offered his hand to She Feihu, and refused She Feihu's generous offer politely.
Pay, he just heard Gu Wuchen and Jia Pengyu introduce that She Mingyue is the young daughter of She Wenzhuang, the Marquis of Jin'an. He was wondering why She Mingyue didn't stay in the lap of the Marquis of Jin'an, but followed her brother She Feihu to Jiangning to take up his post.
?
"Who is this?" She Feihu glanced at Lin Fu with sharp eyes. When he turned to look at Jiangning Prefecture Yin Wang Xueshan, his eyes became a little confused again, as if he was waiting for the Jiangning officials present to replace him.
Introducing Lin Fu’s identity.
When the convoy passed by Lin Fu and the others on the official road outside Donghua Gate, She Feihu was sitting in the carriage behind and noticed that Lin Fu and the others were wearing swords and holding high horses. To be honest, it was Lin Fu who attracted them.
attracted the attention of him and the guards, and instead took the real assassin who was using the charcoal ox cart as a cover. Later, Lin Fu and the others snatched the carriage from the assassins and fled eastward without stopping. She Feihu and the others
Until just now when he received the report from the Inspectorate, She Feihu still regarded Lin Fu as an accomplice of the assassin. She Feihu sent all his bodyguards into Sheshan to search for him, and also asked Jiangning Prefecture's Soldiers and Horses Department and the Jiangning Inspectorate to send out a large number of patrols.
When they went out to hunt in the east city, they didn't expect that Lin Fu and his party made a long circle from the south of the city until dark and said that they had rescued the people.
She Feihu felt cowardly, but he had to admit that Lin Fu and the others had rescued him. Originally, his guards could have surrounded and killed more than thirty assassins, but they chased them one after another into Sheshan Mountain.
, instead, five or six assassins escaped from the mountains. Even if Lin Fu went around in a big circle and finally sent the people to the Inspectorate, he could only regard it as an internal struggle between the Jiangning City Government Department, let alone himself
They also knew in their hearts what attitude everyone in Jiangning would have towards the She family who had been causing trouble in East Fujian for the past ten years. If they were not worried that their She family would start another war, the Jiangning officials present might even hope that he would be killed by assassins outside Donghua Gate.
Wang Xueshan and Zhang Yubo didn't know how to introduce Lin Fu. Jia Pengyu said with a smile: "Young Master Shaohou is a young hero; Lin Juzi is also a young hero, and he is highly appreciated by Mr. Gu..."
Gu Wuchen nodded with a smile beside him, very satisfied that Jia Pengyu said in front of everyone that Lin Fu said he was a member of his sect.
She Feihu still didn't know who Lin Fu was, but he knew an important piece of information: the young man surnamed Lin in front of him was a new member of the Chu Party and a close associate of Jiangdong Deputy Inspector Gu Wuchen. He raised his fist and saluted Lin Fu again and said: "
Feihu is here to thank Lin Juzi. Zhuojing and his sister-in-law were frightened today. Feihu wants to take them back to the hotel to rest early. He should choose another time to go to the mansion to express his gratitude..."
"Excuse me, please..." Lin Fu still said with a smile while holding his hands, and looked very politely at She Feihu and others leaving the Inspector's Office.
After She Feihu and others left, Jiangning Prefecture Yin Wang Xueshan left without stopping. However, Zuo Sikou joined the army and Zhang Yubo wanted to report to the Inspectorate about the hunt for the assassin. To be honest, as long as the two sisters-in-law of the She family stayed,
After returning safely, the Jiangning Mansion's Military and Police Department and the Inspectorate's Department were not very interested in searching for and rescuing the assassin, but they still had to carry out the matter for the sake of honor.
Lin Fu asked Zhang Yubo and found out that except for the five or six assassins who fled into Sheshan, all the other assassins were killed by the She family guards before the troops from the Bingma Division arrived. The She family guards also died quite heavily, almost twenty of them.
They died on the spot and more than ten people were seriously injured. Ironically, the swords, guns, and crossbows used by the assassins were all produced by Jin'an Mansion. Zhang Yubo guessed that these assassins might be sergeants under Li Zhuo's command. He was not angry that the She family had rebelled for ten years and surrendered.
The local feudal lord secretly organized the assassination. After all, the army led by Li Zhuo had been fighting against the She family for many years. It was normal for his subordinates to seize weapons from the Jin'an mansion. This can also be seen from the fact that She Feihu was not captured alive and asked about the behind-the-scenes
The intention to instigate is indirectly proved.
However, in addition to the patrols from the Military and Horse Division, She Feihu also sent out most of his bodyguards to continue searching for the assassins, and was unwilling to let the remaining ones escape easily.
Lin Fu couldn't stop sighing. In addition to dozens of intact elite guards, She Feihu also had Qingfengxing's military force that could be used secretly. He was a little worried about those assassins. Of course, he was not worried about the assassins who were let go today.
If the assassin was caught by the She family and he was implicated, he could just say that the assassin escaped and bit him back.
Lin Fu made the decisive decision to save the She family's aunt at the Donghua Gate, not just out of pity for her. First, they were holding knives and horses at the time, and they were also suspicious people. The situation at that time was difficult to explain to the She family guards.
The only way to avoid being accidentally injured was to stay away. Furthermore, he guessed that She Feihu would not be in the carriage, so saving the She family's aunt and sister-in-law would at least prevent the She family from losing face in the future and publicly target Jiyun Society;
Yun She and Qing Feng Xing, a potential force of the She family in Jiangning, have sworn to be incompatible, but the She family wants to treat Ji Yun She as a benefactor. It is interesting to think about it. Maybe She Feihu knows that he has sworn to be an enemy of Qing Feng Xing.
After that, I will feel quite depressed. Of course, being able to save the She family's aunt and sister-in-law is also a great achievement within the Inspector's Office. Lin Fu is about to officially enter the Inspector's Office as a yamen, and he needs such credit to support his appearance; Gu Wuchen worked hard to arrange
The prison officer who objected to recommending him to be the prison officer of Jiangdao Prison was also under considerable pressure. As a result, there would be no objections within the Inspectorate to his appointment as prison officer. Furthermore, of course Lin Fu also hoped that Luxury
The more enemies the family has, the better. This will reduce the pressure Jiyun Society may face in the future. Only then did Lin Fu grab the carriage and escape far away, leading the assassin into the dense forest of Sheshan Mountain to avoid being killed by the She family's guards.
Clean.
Lin Fu also guessed at the time that these assassins might have military backgrounds, which was deeply involved, so they rescued people and beat them to death without asking for details. Thinking about it, these assassins were really pitiful, and they might be hunted down by the military in the future.
Silence, after all, the mainstream in the DPRK still hopes to maintain the current relationship with the She family.
In the hall, Gu Wuchen asked Zhang Yubo about the pursuit of assassins by Jiangning Mansion's Army and Horse Department, and discussed with Jia Pengyu to leave all the hunting of assassins to Jiangning Mansion's Army and Horse Department. After Zhang Yubo said goodbye and left, Gu Wuchen thought about it again.
After finishing the few official matters in hand and returning to the house, Yang Pu came over and said that Lin Fu and the others were still waiting in the yamen. Gu Wuchen packed up and was about to leave the yamen. He walked out of the hall and looked at Lin Fu waiting under the ginkgo tree in front of the hall. He asked
Said: "Why don't you go back and rest earlier?"
"There are assassins outside the east city, and I'm afraid that the city won't be peaceful either. I have to watch the master return to the house so that Lin Fu can leave with peace of mind." Lin Fu said.
"Those assassins are not that bold in Jiangning City." Gu Wuchen said with a smile.
"It's better to be careful," Lin Fu said, "It's not that Lin Fu is suspicious, the She family is also suspicious of Shiliang County affairs."
"Don't talk nonsense about such invisible things in front of outsiders." Although Gu Wuchen said this, his tone was gentle. Obviously he also had this suspicion. After all, as a new member of the Chu Party and a dignified fourth-rank local official, he
Being stabbed to death on the way to office will immediately intensify the factional struggle between the DPRK and China. The more chaotic the center is, the better it will be for the She family. Of course, the assassin encountered in Shiliang County may also be the instigator of other factions, because too many are involved.
That's why Gu Wuchen didn't want to go into detail about the assassins in Shiliang County.
"Lin Fu knows that he never dares to talk nonsense in front of others." Lin Fu said.
"By the way, tomorrow Jiangning's official department will summon you to ask you about the matter. How are you preparing for it?" Gu Wuchen thought that Lin Fu would officially serve as the prison officer of Jiangdao Prison and would have to pass the final test tomorrow. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "You will be here today."
With such merit, the officials in Jiangning will not dare to deliberately create difficulties tomorrow."
"Lin Fu has not been slacking off in studying the laws and regulations recently." Lin Fu replied.
