Chapter 334: Terrifying News
Songjiang, especially Huating, has always regarded the Xu family as the most. In addition, they all drank wine. When they heard Xu Fan's shout, they surrounded the two dog officials who had smashed the scene.
"Stop! Don't go forward!"
"Don't get close!"
The official officer brought by the two quickly pulled out his weapons and shouted loudly to the drunkards to retreat.
The cold Bingyu slapped his face randomly, and the robes of Niu Qianshi and Lin Xun were wet, and his face turned ashen. He secretly scolded the Xu family for being lawless and dared to siege the imperial envoy in broad daylight.
"What are you going to do? Both of you are the imperial envoys of the court. Are you going to rebel?!" The two were about to pluck their courage, but Songjiang Prefect Zhong Zhenji rushed in front of them and scolded them with a fierce expression.
"Hurry back to our office, take me one more step forward, and all of them are treated as rebellion!"
"Do you dare not listen to the words of Lord Master Fu?" Zheng Yue, the magistrate of Huating, also quickly stood up and scolded the people who surrounded him and said, "Xu Ping, Xu Ming, Xu Nianzu... If you don't get out of here, get out of here!"
He said while kicking the drunks, which made them a little more awake.
The county magistrate who destroyed the family and the imperial magistrate who destroyed the family took turns to fight, and finally suppressed the guys who only knew the Xu family but not the imperial court. But they still looked at Xu Fan and refused to retreat.
"You guys retreat quickly, don't mess around here." Xu Fan calmed down now. Do you have the capital to rebel? Obviously there is no one.
Hearing the Xu family's uncle's voice, the filial sons and grandchildren of the Xu family dispersed one after another.
"My sirs, I'll take you away." Zhong Zhenji was afraid of having another problem, so he and Zheng Yue protected Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunzhang and left Tui Siyuan.
When they came outside, they saw that the sedan chairs of the two had been smashed by the Xu family, and the sedan chairmen were also lying all over the floor.
"It's so incredible!" Zhong Zhenji stamped her feet in anger, wiped the rain on her face, and shouted: "Come on my official's sedan chair!"
"And mine!" Zheng Yue also shouted.
In a blink of an eye, two sedan chairs, one blue and one green, were carried over, and the two invited the two adults to get into the sedan chair. They walked with umbrellas and escorted Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunzhang to the official ship dock.
Fortunately, the official ship was safe and sound, and the two of them sent the two adults onto the ship.
After entering the cabin, Zhong Zhenji apologized again for what happened today.
"Forget it." Niu Qianshi asked someone to take a cotton towel to the two local officials, waved his hands and sighed: "It's also your misfortune to sit on the ground tiger with such a head."
"Oh, who said no?" Zhong Zhenji said with a bitter face: "Not to mention the magistrate Zheng, even if I, a fourth-rank magistrate, is just a errand-runner in the eyes of the Xu family."
"Is there any magistrate in the world who is more cowardly than me?" Zhong Taifu wiped the water from the corners of his eyes and lamented:
"But there is no way. Every year, Songjiang Prefecture remits the tax and bank to the Southern Ministry of Revenue, it is directly withdrawn from the Xu Prefecture. It annoyed the Xu family and could not collect a penny of tax. For the sake of the court, the officials could only compromise."
"It's not easy." Niu Qianshi and Lin Pingzhi empathized with each other. They were all colleagues trembling under the power of the Xu family.
"It's all up to this point. Can you tell me the truth? Why did you come today?" Zhong Zhenjiba looked at the two and said, "As the storm is in turmoil, I hope to work together and help my brothers."
"That's natural. If we don't help ourselves, we will be over." Niu Qianshi nodded and rubbed his trembling cheeks with both hands.
"Actually it's not a secret. You should hear the wind in a few days." Lin Pingzhi said in a muffled voice: "The new governor Yingtian has been decided."
"Ah, so fast?" Zhong Zhenji couldn't help but shrink his pupils. The efficiency of the court's affairs was proportional to the degree of attention. Such terrifying efficiency only shows that the court is extremely concerned about the changes that have occurred in his jurisdiction.
"Who is it? I scared you two like this?" He asked straightforwardly without hesitation.
"It's Haigangfeng Haigong." Niu Qianshi couldn't help but tremble.
Lin Pingzhi also trembled and said, "Isn't the court really angry? Can the King of Hai Yan be the governor of Ying Tian?"
"Ah, Hai Rui?" Zhong Zhenji jumped up from the chair and said in a lost voice: "Didn't the court have a tacit understanding and will never use Hai Rui easily? Is this going to kill everyone?!"
"Who told the Xu family to disobey the rules first and gave the court the excuse to close the door and let Hai Rui go?" Niu Qianshi held his head, his face full of despair.
"Is it still time for me to retire now?" Zhong Zhenji actually started to wail, without the style of a fourth-rank official.
"It must be too late. If you want to leave, you have to wait until Hai Gangfeng finishes your trial. Then let's see if you are exiled to be exiled." Niu Qianshi was not gloating at all, but said with real fear:
"Hai Gong really wants to get to the bottom of it. I am afraid that Lin Zuoyuan and I will not be able to escape. At present, we can only completely break up with the Xu family first. Otherwise, if we are burdened by these broom stars, there will be no way out."
"Oh, I don't know how useful my performance will be today?" Lin Pingzhi was almost worried. If something had happened to Lin Run, he would have set off to return to Beijing now.
Now, I have to wait for the trial of the Sea Fighter.
Only then did Zheng Yue realize why Niu Lin and the other two had to play that role before, but after all, he had just entered the official career and didn't quite understand the power of Hai Gong. Finally, he couldn't help but say to the three adults: "Is that scary that Hai Gong really that?"
"Of course it's terrible!" The three of them said in unison: "If you don't believe it, wait for the news to spread and see what Jiangnan will look like!"
"Oh." Zheng Yue was a little curious. He and Shanghai magistrate Zhang Yi took office for a while. He had only been in Huating for three months and had not participated in anything, so there was nothing to worry about.
Of course, I don’t mind watching the fun.
~~
The strong wind was pouring down with heavy rain, shaved the lanterns and colorful buildings in Huating County. The chrysanthemum array at the entrance of Tuisi Garden was also washed away by the rain.
Many flower pots are overturned and many chrysanthemums fall, making the carefully spelled word "南" look like a pale and pale word "南".
The Tuisi Garden was even more messy. The reed shed can shelter the wind and not the rain. The size of the outside and the size of the inside. The guests who came to celebrate the birthday were all drenched in the fallen chickens.
In October of the cold winter, one of them shivered from the cold and escaped from the reed shed, leaving a messy place with birds and beasts scattered.
Those VIPs from other places who were not good enough to leave immediately and could only stay in the Songfeng Hall of Wanhe. While looking at the constant doctors, they went into the inner room to treat Mr. Xu, while whispering to ask each other what was going on.
Why did Mr. Xu turn from the benefactor of all officials to the public enemy of Suzhou officials in just half a year?
Is this the destruction of human nature or the destruction of morality?
