Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

It is easy to find out the case of Yang Zhuo, the magistrate of Baoning County. There is even a file in the government office, and the charges are not much different from what Yang Zhuo's wife said.

After his death, the position of Baoning County Magistrate was sold by Qin Song at a high price to a dandy on Zizhou Road who only had the reputation of being a scholar. According to Xiao Yansui's investigation, even the scholar was bought by that dandy's father. .

Fake the imperial examination and sell your official position to get a title.

These two charges alone were enough to make Qin Song's head fall to the ground.

When he found out this, his face turned red with anger. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately sent people to arrest the new magistrate. At the same time, he wrote a letter to the Shu city defenders. The city defenders were no better than others, as long as they If they don't plan to rebel now, they will never dare to openly confront Xiao Yansui.

Of course, there is also an element of gambling in this.

Not two days after Shen Huan'an's birthday, Mrs. Qin invited her to enjoy the flowers. All the wives and concubines who came from the Shu official's home were so beautiful that Shen Huan was dazzled by the flowers.

They enjoyed flowers and tea, recited poems and composed poems. Although Shen Huan was not very cooperative and turned her face away several times, Mrs. Qin behaved very gently from beginning to end. After sending the others away in the afternoon, she asked someone to bring a bunch of boxes. Place it next to her.

Shen Huan was puzzled: "Mrs. Qin, what does this mean?"

Mrs. Qin smiled: "Miss Xia, there is no need to panic. These are just some greeting gifts that I gave to Miss Xia. A person as beautiful as Miss Xia needs worldly treasures to be worthy of her. His Highness, Prince Tang, will also like it." .”

Shen Huan took one of the boxes and looked at it. Inside was an East Pearl half the size of a fist. It was shiny and valuable at first glance.

She looked at the beads and smiled. She covered them and put them aside. Then she picked up a slightly larger one. When she opened it, there was no treasure, but a stack of banknotes with a denomination of one thousand taels. It was estimated that there were at least thirty or forty coins. open.

This is really expensive.

She took it out with a smile, and when Mrs. Qin secretly scolded her for being short-sighted, Shen Huan asked innocently: "Did Mr. Qin get these from corruption and bribery? No wonder my family couldn't eat in the past. It turned out to be He was corrupted by Mr. Qin."

Mrs. Qin: "..."

"Miss Xia is really good at joking."

Shouldn't this be tacitly understood? How dare she say that?

"Isn't it?" Shen Huan sneered: "According to our country's laws, the annual salary of the magistrate is only a few hundred taels of silver. If these many coins and treasures are not corrupt and bribery, could they be Mrs. Qin's dowry?"

Mrs. Qin's expression froze again.

However, Shen Huan casually picked up another box. It was a box full of precious pearls, all of which were round and shiny. This kind of goods should only be used by empresses in the palace.

"It's so beautiful." Shen Huan sighed: "But I won't take it back today. Mrs. Qin will keep it for now. We will pick it up in a few days."

Mrs. Qin didn't know why, so Shen Huan stood up directly: "Thank you for the hospitality today, Mrs. Qin. I'll say goodbye."

She was followed by two maids, who were following her silently. Mrs. Qin was probably a little dumbfounded, considering her words but did not stop her.

After they left, the people around her asked her what Shen Huan's words just meant, but she was still puzzled.

After thinking for a long time, he said: "Maybe I have never seen so many treasures before, and I dare not act rashly. She said that she would come back another day, so I will wait for her to come back another day."

-

To her dismay, they could no longer wait for another day.

Xiao Yansui originally thought that his letter would be lost, but more than half a month later his people had brought the new county magistrate back. The night before he took action, the deputy general of the Shu city defense army unexpectedly visited.

"Zhang Chong, a humble official, please see the prince."

"There is no need to be polite, Vice-General Zhang." Xiao Yan stepped forward and helped the man up: "Did General Lin send you here?"

"Yes." General Zhang Fu said, "Not just General Lin, but also His Royal Highness."

Xiao Yansui was immediately shocked: "Brother Huang is also in Shu? How could it be? Isn't he in Lin'an City?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came a few days ago. At that time, General Lin was debating whether to comply with the prince's request. The prince also knew that the treasury has been empty in recent years. The defenders in various places in Shu are supported by Lord Qin. General Lin cannot make decisions without authorization. .”

Shen Huan was also at the side at the moment, but she kept standing like a maid serving. Zhang Chong didn't notice her at all. Hearing her words, Shen Huan couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, if people like him hadn't been corrupt and bribery, how could the national treasury be empty? If the national treasury is full, why would the army need him to support it? After the thief steals, he will show small favors, and the victim will be grateful. What kind of fallacy is this?"

Zhang Chong was surprised at first, but calmed down after seeing Xiao Yansui's lack of reaction. After hearing what she said, he suddenly became enlightened.

He didn't understand the previous part, but using the thief as an analogy, he understood immediately.

"Your Majesty, who is this?"

Xiao Yan lied without changing his expression: "This is my king's military advisor. I think what he said is very reasonable. Where is your royal brother?"

Zhang Chong said: "It was His Highness the Crown Prince who proposed a thorough investigation of Shu. Naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Qin Song and the people behind him. That's why he sent me to His Highness the King of Tang to discuss the plan."

Xiao Yan casually told him his plan to take action immediately.

Zhang Chong said: "If Qin Song is really desperate and the army cannot arrive within one day, can the prince wait a little longer?"

Now that they have foreign aid, Xiao Yan is too late. After discussion, they decided to take action in three days. Xiao Yan will go to court with Qin Song to show his face. If the evidence is available, Qin Song will attack him if he doesn't want to plead guilty.

When the prince brings people here, he can justifiably capture them.

After the discussion, Zhang Chong rushed back to the military camp overnight.

Unfortunately, the three days of waiting were not peaceful either.

After the good-for-nothing county magistrate was captured, his father quickly came to Qin Song and wanted to ask him to help save his son. Qin Song also immediately understood that it was Xiao Yan who had detained the man and brought him directly to ask for him.

There is still one day left before the time they agreed.

Xiao Yansui wanted to argue with him to delay time, but Qin Song said straight to the point: "Here, no one can take him away except His Highness Prince Tang. There is no need for the prince to pretend. Since he has promised to stay safe, why do such useless things?" Things."

Xiao Yansui did not stand upright, but said: "That day when I came back from Mr. Qin's house, I met a woman who stopped her on the way to complain about her grievances. I was only investigating and handling the matter in accordance with the law. Why did Mr. Qin go to the line like this?"

Qin Song heard about someone stopping his car, but he didn't know who the person was and thought he was an ordinary citizen of Baoning County.

"Since we want to investigate the case, why don't the prince send the person directly to the government office? This overstepping of the hierarchy is a serious crime."

Xiao Yan was a little angry when he heard his threat: "Master Qin said that he was suing for overstepping his rank. I also have something to ask, Master Qin. Does Master Qin know that according to the laws of our dynasty, to be an official is to at least have the title of meritorious service? What you are talking about Zhou Tongmei, the new magistrate of Baoning County, is just a scholar, so what qualifications do he have to be the magistrate?"
