Although the imperial envoy was simple, there were still four to five hundred people. Taking care of so many people fell entirely on Huijiang Yi Cheng and Yi Shi. Although they had fifty civilian servants sent by the county
, they were still busy from morning to night. It wasn’t until midnight, until tomorrow’s breakfast, that the two of them were as tired as dead dogs, and they went back to their houses to prepare for their sleep.
Li Yishi entered his room, hammered his back, took out a fire stick, blew out a red light, and lit the candle on the table...
When the candlelight came on, the room suddenly became much brighter. Li Yishi saw a man in black, standing motionless in front of the window...
Li Yishi dropped the fire seal, opened his mouth wide and sifted through the chaff with his legs. When he saw the face of the man in black, he fainted from fright...
The man in black, who was supposed to make a shocking appearance, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He had no choice but to put Li Yishi on the bed, pinching the middle of the body and the mouth of the tiger. After a long time, he finally heard
Li Yishi's snoring... Mr. Yishi is really too tired.
The man in black completely lost his patience. He slapped Li Yishi awake with both front and back slaps, picked him up by the collar and said, "Look who I am?"
Ghost... Li Yishi was horrified. He said in a weak voice.
"Yes, I am a ghost!" the man in black said bitterly, "an evil ghost who comes to demand his life from his enemies!"
Seeing Li Yishi fainted from fright again, the man in black had no choice but to speak human language: "Don't be afraid, I am He Chang."
"What...he Yuanwai?" Li Yishi's eyes were wider than the man in black, and his teeth chattered: "That's still a ghost..."
"Do ghosts have shadows?" The man in black raised his hand and looked for a shadow in the candlelight, which enveloped Li Yishi's face.
"You're not dead?" Li Yishi believed that he was alive, but still couldn't believe it: "How did you escape the Autumn Jue?"
"Hehe." Seeing that he finally believed it, the man in black sat on the edge of the bed and said, "I told you before, I am Jin Yiwei!"
"Then why didn't you reveal your identity earlier?" Li Yishi went through many hardships and became sensitive and suspicious, saying: "I have suffered this humiliation for nothing."
"Hey," the man in black sighed and said honestly, "Actually, I didn't expect that the identity passed down by my late father would still be useful to this day." Then he briefly explained the cause and effect:
"I have three generations of grain chiefs in my family. My father and grandfather were both grain chiefs in the Hongwu Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, grain chiefs received much more attention than they do now. My grandfather and father would go to Beijing every year to meet with the saints. In addition to asking about the harvest, Taizu
In addition to questions about authority and prestige, they would also be asked about local history, governance and people's sentiments. In order to win over them, Emperor Taizu organized all the grain chiefs in the world into Jin Yiwei and ordered them to secretly monitor local officials."
"It's a pity that in his later years, Taizu mistakenly believed the slander of the civil officials, executed the commander of the Jinyiwei, and disbanded the Zhenfu Division. My father, the spies of the Jinyiwei, suddenly lost their organization. He told me the truth before he died, and said to me,
Now that the emperor has re-established the Imperial Guard, we spies may be able to regain our status sooner or later. I didn’t care at first. Life is good, who wants to be a spy?” The man in black said bitterly: “Until that little boy named Wang
He was a thief who ruined my family and was about to be executed. Only then did I remember my identity. Unfortunately, no one believed me even if I told him!"
"Then what happened next?" Li Yishi asked carefully.
"Actually, some people heard it and took it seriously. The Jinyiwei Qianhu who participated in the trial personally found out my identity. After confirming that I was indeed the Jinyiwei Baihu, he took me to the prison in the capital and gave me
Change your name and let me out!" He Chang said such a secret thing without any concealment, and was not afraid of causing trouble. Jin Yiwei's identity made him very courageous.
"Then who is outside the membership now?" Li Yishi exclaimed.
"There is no such thing as He Yuanwai now." He Chang said with a straight face, "My surname is Chang, and Chang is the Xiaoqi of Jinyiwei Town Fusi!"
"Isn't it a hundred households?" Li Yishi whispered.
"Hey" He Chang, now called Chang Zai, Chang Xiaoqi glared at him awkwardly and said: "This is the price of survival, paid for with a third-level official rank!" He then emphasized: "Xiaoqi from the Zhenfu Division.
, the local government must also respect it!"
"That's true." Li Yishi praised with envy: "Who dares to offend Jin Yiwei."
"Of course." Chang Zaizhi snorted with satisfaction: "This time, my brother volunteered to accompany us, Mr. Qianhu, to escort the imperial envoy and his party. I didn't expect to return to Fuyang so soon."
"But Fuyang has changed beyond recognition." Li Yishi sighed, which seemed to be like a lost flower.
"By the way, how did you end up like Yi Shi?" Chang Zaizhuan said, looking at Li Yishi who was at least ten years older: "When I saw you aged like this earlier, I didn't dare to recognize you."
"Alas" Li Yishi was of course Li Sheng. He burst into tears before he opened his mouth and said sadly: "Boss named Wang, you know that I was the one who helped you in the first place."
Naturally, he won't let me go. Wei, who thinks I'm not of the same mind as him, is willing to help him and his father deal with me." Talking about his sadness, Li Yishi burst into tears and said, "Those bastards in the county,
They were also the beasts that made trouble for the community. I took turns to be my influence. Later, all the gangsters on the network felt that my family was extorting money. The father and son of Wang Xian became bigger and bigger, and more and more people stepped on me to please them. Now I
The valuable things at home have been looted long ago. Your sister-in-law doesn’t even dare to go out on the street. Once she goes out on the street, someone will definitely take advantage of her. Wow, I don’t want to live anymore.
Alas, we are really brothers in trouble. Chang Xiaoqi was also reminded of his sadness, and he burst into tears and said: "After my accident, all the valuable things in the house were moved away by those beasts like Hu Buliu. How many rooms are there?"
My wives and concubines also remarried one after another. When I found my son, he was begging for food from the beggar. Wuwu, if I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being. Wuwu
The two hugged each other and cried for a long time before Chang Xiaoqi wiped away the tears. Fortunately, the sky has eyes. Not only did I survive as a brother, but I also became a royal guard. He said with a heavy slap along the road, I will come back this time.
, they are seeking revenge from people named Wei, people named Wang, and people named Hu.
What a pity! Li Yicheng Shi came out and said, "Brother, what are you going to do? I will fully cooperate with you."
Why don't we ask you to plan this? Chang Xiaoqi said, let's see if there is any good way. I can't help them even if they are killed. Li Yishi scratched his head and said, these people have been very fierce recently, and they have destroyed everything in the yamen.
, the big households in the county were kept obedient, and the people were even more grateful. Could it be that they were invulnerable? Chang Xiaoqi glared at them and said, of course not, the big households hated them, but they just took advantage of their power and did not dare to act recklessly.
, Li Sheng said bitterly, as long as we can grasp the key point, we don't have to worry about killing them. Why can't I understand what you are saying? Chang Xiaoqi said at a loss, saying for a while that there was nothing he could do, and then saying that he didn't have to worry about it.
There is nothing I can do now, but as long as I can get the accounts of households in Fuyang County, I can do something. Li Sheng said coldly, starting from this spring, the county will rely on private houses, open terraced fields, and buy grain.
, it’s time to collect raw silk again, and there are a lot of expenses. Brother, do you know what this means? Every line is like a mountain, and Chang Xiaoqi doesn’t understand what he is talking about.
This means that there are a lot of opportunities to make money. Li Sheng was envious and said, it is better to rely on private housing. According to the custom, half of the difference in management will be taken, half of the household housing will be taken, and the remaining 100 percent will be controlled by the county magistrate. Pause.
He said, even if they were clean and no longer deducted from it, the whereabouts of 20% of the money would be unknown. As for opening terraced fields, buying grain, and growing raw silk, there would only be a lot more money. This money is called routine. According to (
Ming Dynasty Law), but it is undoubtedly corruption,
Corruption, Chang Xiaoqi said. In recent years, I have never heard of any official being arrested for corruption.
"It's not a big deal," Li Sheng said quietly, ""If the big families jointly report to the imperial envoy, and Fuyang County officials are colluding, corrupt and perverting the law, what do you think the imperial envoy will do?"
"Uh... probably it will be handed over to the prefect's Yamen." Chang Xiaoqi whispered.
"Why, won't you hand it over to the Jinyi Guards for investigation?" Li Yishi said in surprise.
"Civil officials have always been very wary of us Jin Yiwei," Chang Xiaoqi sighed: "You may not think that we are on the same side as Hu Wei, but he is as wary of us as he is of guarding against lowly people..." After a pause, he said, "But we are not either.
Kill them!" Thinking of the day when Mr. Qianhu kicked away Mr. General Banner who said something wrong, he decided in his heart: "We Qianhu have said that we can leave Hu alone if necessary!"
"Then let them sue Jinyiwei." Li Yi said: "But why do we, the masters of Qianhu, help you?"
"Brother Ping, you..." After all, Li Yili was used to doing this kind of business. After saying this, he realized, "How much does it cost?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Chang Xiaoqi raised a finger and said, "Brother, I have no money now, so you can only pay."
"I don't have that much money anymore..." Seeing He Chang's complexion, Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sell the iron and get it together for you!"
"Can you ask those big families to contribute something?" He Chang gave him advice: "It is also their wish to overthrow the Wei surnamed Wang, and they must also bleed!"
"Okay, but it's best for you to show up, so that they can easily believe it." Li Yi was completely sleepless, and his eyes were shining: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Diao Zhubo and ask him to make arrangements. Let's all meet
A face,"
"That's fine." He Chang said: "We must hurry up, we can't stay in Fuyang for a few days..."
"Well, I'll go find Diao Zhubo right now!" Li Yi said: "He is also extremely hard-working and must be very active!"
