Chapter 145 Repaying Virtue with Resentment
Chapter 145 Repaying good deeds with grudges
Zhong Qingchun shouted this very timely, especially when he pointed out that the hijacked man was the son of the prefect of Suzhou, Min, and played a great role.
Those who can appear here are all public servants from Wuxi County. Who doesn’t know that the prefect of Min of Suzhou Prefecture is visiting the county government at this moment. Therefore, when I heard that the person in front of me who was holding his neck with a knife was the prince of Prefecture Min, almost everyone stopped. Those who ran too fast and rushed too far and could not stop, even fell to the ground because of forcibly stopping, making a mess.
You should know that the rainfall in Wuxi County these days is not less than that in Nanjing Prefecture. It’s just that there is no major water system near Wuxi County, and there is not even a tributary, so there is no major flood. It’s just that the heavy rain has transited after all, so the ground is still very wet at this moment, just because there are a lot of pedestrians recently, and it’s just that it’s a little bit simpler.
Zhong Qingchun's voice was loud, so even County Magistrate Lin heard this later.
He was secretly happy that there was no Young Master Min among the leashes. Who would have thought that he was placed behind the thieves as treasures? However, seeing that the man was unkempt and dirty in his clothes, he did not have the momentum of the noble master, even the refugees were not much worse than those refugees.
What's more, the sky is already dark now, and it's so far away, it's really not easy to see clearly.
It’s a pity that the little maid who came back to report the news was still punished at the temporary residence of the Min Mansion. It was left to leave the master to escape home privately. Even if it was to come back to report the news and save people, it was wrong. There was no one familiar with the young master around him, so County Magistrate Lin had to let the master around him go over and ask clearly before talking.
County yamen are different from government offices. In the administrative system of the Dashun Dynasty, under the county magistrates, there are directly guards of each county. Although these guards have the same names as the guards of each department in the government office, their ranks are different. Usually, most guards of the guards of the government office are about eighth rank, but most guards of the county offices are ninth rank. If they have a lower qualification, even those with the deputy ninth rank are minor.
However, as long as you are enrolled in the rank of a rank, you will be a complete official. Therefore, although the rank of these ranks of the ranks of the official system, they can also be called "Grandman" among the people - of course, this refers to the local area. If you go to the capital city, that's not the case.
This is like what I said in later generations. I don’t know that the officials are young until the capital (the other sentence is that the corresponding money is not called Shenzhen and I don’t know that the money is too low). In fact, they are all the same truth. There is also a joke from old Beijing: It is said that it is in Beijing, and that it is "the streets at the ministerial level are everywhere, and there are many colleges as many as dogs." Although it sounds uncomfortable, the same truth is also said here.
The master called Li Fuxiu, who was a Juren. After passing the imperial examination, he went to Beijing to take the exam several times but failed. Later, he simply gave up his mind to be a teacher at home. After all, Dashunchao is quite good in this regard. Even if he failed the exam, it would not be difficult to get a decent job just by relying on his identity as a Juren.
Then County Magistrate Lin went to Wuxi County to take office, but invited him to be a master. This time, he is now, and has been with County Magistrate Lin for more than ten years, and he is a real confidant. This year, Li Fuxiu is not old, but she is only over forty years old, and she is in her prime.
Li Fuxiu was ordered by County Magistrate Lin and immediately jogged all the way. However, cultural people were not as good as those men. Although they were jogging, they were also watching the road. They didn’t walk where there was water or where there was mud. They basically carried clean places and jumped all the way. Therefore, when they walked to the front row by Zhong Qingchun, everyone was a little panting.
Although Zhong Qingchun is not clean, he is from a martial arts scholar after all, and his physique and figure are very easy to recognize.
"Zhong Ai Si, is that man really Mr. Min?"
"Nonsense!" Zhong Qingchun replied to Li Fuxiu in anger.
At this time, Zhong Qingchun was not unfair. You should know that Min Xin came out with him, but at this time Min Xin was tied up and taken hostage by someone. No matter what, he could not escape the blame. So, the one who wanted to rescue Min Xin the most was not the extremely worried County Magistrate Lin, but the Zhong Da'aoshi.
However, after Zhong Qingchun finished speaking, he realized that Li Fuxiu was asking. He suddenly saw that he was talking to him. He quickly pulled Li Fuxiu's sleeve, and said with a little urgency and a little flattering: "Master Li, when I came to Wuxi, I heard from the Magistrate Lin that you are resourceful. Look, what can I think of now to save our young master?"
"This..." Li Fuxiu pondered, but in fact he pulled back his sleeves from Zhong Qingchun's dirty hands without saying a word: "It's not difficult to save him. It's nothing more than just understanding the reason, moving him with emotion, promising him with righteousness, and scaring him with power. In the end, if he really fails, he can still lure him with profit."
Seeing Li Fuxiu's words, Zhong Qingchun felt that the master, who was highly praised by County Magistrate Lin, was indeed very reliable, and immediately said flatteringly: "Master Li said so well. I, a rude man, didn't know these truths at the beginning, so I couldn't get into the Wu Jinshi. Fortunately, the prefect Min didn't think I was rude, and he also entrusted me with important tasks and asked me to take on the position of the police chief. But now seeing the young master being caught by the thief, I was helpless and was really anxious. Since Master Li had a solution, Qingchun was willing to be the master's front guard, and only hoped to save my young master."
Zhong Qingchun's words were sincere and sincere, but if Li Fuxiu listened carefully, he would feel that Zhong Qingchun's words were not true. The key is that Zhong Qingchun said that he was a rough man and was just a little polite, and he said something polite and well-founded, and it echoed each other very much.
Moreover, Zhong Qingchun first praised Li Fuxiu and then demoted himself, and finally threw out the big problem of saving Min Xin. Especially Li Fuxiu had already taken the conversation before, and looked extremely simple, which became a footnote to the nailing of Li Fuxiu.
If Li Fuxiu wants to refuse at this moment, he will offend Zhong Qingchun directly. When Zhong Qingchun stabs the matter in the future, it will be equivalent to offending the prefect Min. The consequences are not big, but they are not small, but they will eventually have some impact on him, Li Fuxiu, and even if they are not good, they will have to complain.
If Min Xin had a problem because of his disagreement, the prefect Min would be angry and might even implicate this matter on his benefactor Lin County Magistrate. When he was in the process of being in charge, Li Fuxiu was guilty of great consequences.
These things quickly passed in his mind. Li Fuxiu couldn't help but think thoroughly, and then he realized that he was ambushed by Zhong Qingchun, who seemed to be big and thick, and was directly trapped by him. But at this time, even if he knew it, it was useless, and there was no chance for him to break free.
In fact, Li Fuxiu was also confused. You should know that this Zhong Daoyeshi is a famous fine ghost in Suzhou City. He doesn’t know how many faces he remembers in his mind, so how could he be a rough person? He is just a disguise.
Since things have come to this point, although Li Fuxiu was very annoyed, he had to act like a responsibilities and agreed immediately: "Fuxiu naturally needs to help with this matter, but he still needs to understand the situation clearly before doing it."
"My master said this very much." Zhong Qingchun felt very happy when he saw that Li Fuxiu took over the hot potato, and quickly responded: "My master has something to ask, and Qingchun knew everything. If there was still something unclear, we can go there to ask the thieves who claim to be the Han family. I heard clearly after being caught by these thieves before that, even if those people were not in the same group, they should have old age. I think they should be clearer than I know."
"This is the best." Li Fuxiu nodded before asking.
"Sir." Chen Yang suddenly turned around and said, "Looking at that place, it seems like there is a fire."
"Hmm?" Tan Zong went as he said, and saw sparks lit up in the darkness in the distance. Moreover, these sparks did not stop moving, but were constantly winding, like a dragon circling around the mountain in the distance.
"Sir, it seems that someone is coming. Those should be torches held by people." Lu Wenyun saw some clues: "I'm afraid that those people are also reinforcements from these people, perhaps the garrison in Wuxi County."
"Garage?" Tan Zong's mind moved and asked quickly: "Do you know how many garrisons are in Wuxi County?"
Some of the nearby guards were stunned after hearing this, but then shook their heads at the same time. Chen Yang was more intimate with Tan Zong, so he replied on behalf of others: "Sir, we are just guards, and we can at most know the names of the local officials. However, the secrets of the troops garrisons in various places are not something we can know."
Tan Zong was reminded by Chen Yang at this moment, but he also realized that he had asked a stupid question.
This is like the military sub-districts in various places in later generations. Unless they are people in the system, how can they disclose how many people there are in a military sub-district? How many people there are on the surface and how many people there are in secret? These are all military secrets, even the garrison of the Dashun Dynasty is the same.
"Hey, look, sir, it seems that someone from the Han family has come." Qin Yu suddenly reminded everyone loudly.
Tan Zong immediately ignored the fire dragon coming from afar, and immediately turned around to look at the Han family.
Because it was already April, it was dark and slowly at this time, so although it was already dinner time, it could still see clearly. In a vague way, Tan Zong saw clearly that the person who came over was Han Wengan, the third supervisor of the Han family.
Before Tan Zong could speak, Lu Wenyun next to him spoke first: "What's this guy here for? Could it be that he still wants to repay kindness with grudges and join forces with the people from Wuxi County to deal with us?"
As soon as Lu Wenyun said this, the others suddenly looked tighter, and then they were furious, saying that the Han family was really helpless and that this time they must give the Han family a good look.
However, a chuckled appeared on Tan Zong's face, and the expression in his eyes was very playful.
