Lord of the House

(Second, ask for a red ticket)

April 17th was the fifth day that the East China Sea bandits were withdrawn, which was the second day after Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Zuo Army back to Chongzhou and conquered Guangjiao Temple. Wu Meijiu jointly released a list of posts, notifying the bandit case to calm the hearts of the people. He also posted a list of talents, selected talents from local areas to supplement officials, and rebuilt several sets of teams in the county government as soon as possible.

Lin Fu unceremoniously put his seal on Wu Meijiu, forming the fact that the troops were stationed in a restrained place.

Before last night, Wu Meijiu might have to fight with Lin Fu for the power in Chongzhou.

Watching Lin Fu calmly and indifferently kill Ci Hai, who looked like a wise monk, with a knife in the throat, and the Guangjiao Temple, which had 250 or 60 monks and soldiers, was given to Jiangdong Zuo Jun effortlessly. After that, Wu Meijiu completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting with Lin Fu, and just wanted to ask someone to find a relationship and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

******

Chenjiaxu.

Hearing the crowing of the chickens for the first time, Chen Lei rolled over and woke up. The window paper was torn and the weather was getting warmer, so he had no intention of covering the hole/eye. The army was in chaos. Although the city suffered a major disaster this time, and the country suffered no crime, who knows when those pirates who should be killed will come ashore again?

Looking at the fog from the hole/eyes, I knew it was foggy outside.

"Didn't you say you were going to the city to see?" Chen Lei's mother-in-law opened her eyes and asked him when her husband turned over and sat up.

"What is there to see? I took a look the day before yesterday. The Xiahao River in the north of the city is full of corpses. No one cleans it up. Maybe there will be a plague. You remember to tell your family, and don't have any contact with outsiders." Chen Lei said. The Chen family had a shop in the city. Afterwards, a buddy fled back and said that the shop was burnt down. Chen Lei went to the city the day before yesterday to see it, but he couldn’t bear to tell his family about the ruins of the shop, so he stopped his feet outside the city.

Enze was killed along with other boys in the county school. It was a disaster for the Chen family, and after that, the shop in the city was left. The shop was destroyed, there was nothing left, the silver goods were emptied, half of the yard was burnt down, and the shopkeeper and two guys were killed. The account books have been burnt to ashes. Others put the shop's account, so don't count it, but the shop owes the account to other families. As long as others can find the root, they must pay it back. Chen Lei has a headache and thinks about buying dozens of acres of land in the countryside. After all, the shopkeeper and the two guys died because they were guarding the shop, so they had to talk to their family about something, and the rest could almost be used to pay off debts.

How to live in the future, Chen Lei has not had time to think.

Chen Lei has been unable to sleep well for the past few days, tossing and turning. In this season, Zhu Gui, a long-term worker, can do it well by himself, without the help of the master, but he just can't sleep well. He simply turned over the jacket from the foot of the bed and put it on. Chen Lei heard the dog barking in the yard. He was afraid to startle the only mule left in the backyard. He was about to go out and kick the dog in the stomach. Call, toss endlessly.

"Bang Bang!" Someone knocked on the courtyard door outside, and there seemed to be a clanging sound of bang bang bang bang sword knocking on the iron armor.

Chen Lei was startled, who would come to the door so early?

His mother-in-law also sat up in fright, her face pale. On the day the pirates landed, Chen Lei and his mother-in-law were also in the city. At that time, she wanted to die with her husband. Instead of staying in the city, which seemed safer at the time, she fled back to the countryside. robbery. His mother-in-law had heard the sound of light hitting by pirate soldiers in the ditch. It was so similar that she subconsciously thought that a pirate had come to Chenjiaxu.

Just as Chen Lei was about to ask who was outside, his mother-in-law covered his mouth desperately to prevent him from speaking.

"Chen Ermazi, Chen Ermazi..."

Hearing Chen Jingkui's voice, Chen Lei's heart was also relieved, he broke his mother-in-law's hand, raised his brows and scolded lightly: "What is it, you take the white half face as a ghost?" Chen Jingkui had a large white spot on his face. The villagers call him "white half face".

Chen Lei put on his clothes and walked into the yard. He was unhappy that others called him "Chen Ermazi", and responded while buttoning up: "Call your father, call your father, so loud in the early morning, call again, be careful of my black scumbag. Bite your eggs off!"

"So much nonsense, the county sent someone to find you!" Chen Jingkui scolded outside the door.

Chen Lei was startled. Hearing the voice, Chen Jingkui was surrounded by soldiers. What did the county send soldiers to find him?

Chen Jingkui slapped the gate of the courtyard outside and said, "Where are you guilty of? The county said it was picking up talents to make up for officials—you were chosen."

Chen Lei opened the courtyard door and saw two strong, strong and strong armored soldiers standing behind Chen Jingkui, the chief armored officer.

"You are Chen Jiaxu Chen Lei, didn't you pretend to be?" The leading soldier opened a paper booklet and asked Chen Lei, pointing to the small characters on it.

Chen Lei was also surprised, but it was really written on the pamphlet, and he was busy salute the two soldiers: "The two soldiers have worked hard... The youngest is Chen Lei in Chenjiaxu, and there is no second Chen Lei in Chenjiaxu, just pick up Is it the wrong person to serve as a virtuous person?" He glanced at Chen Jingkui suspiciously, how could he suddenly find a good person to make up for an official?

"You can't go wrong, I came back from the county overnight. From the county magistrates Chen Kun and Hong Changji down, except for Li Shuyi in Xisha, all the others have died and not a single one is left. The county is short of manpower. In the by-election, you can settle accounts and know how to read, how can you be wrong?" Chen Jingkui said, he also felt that this was strange, and he wanted to take this opportunity to recommend his second child to the county, but he didn't know what Chen Lei ate. Shit luck, and no one mentioned him, but he was listed on the by-election list, "I didn't say that I would definitely use you. You have to go to the county for a question and answer first, and only after the question and answer will you officially serve in the by-election. I’m about to rush to the county. If you make a mistake, the boss will blame you, don’t blame me for not reminding you! The monk of Guangjiao Temple killed more than 200 people last night!”

"Ah!" Chen Lei was stunned, the news in the countryside was blocked, no one went to the city, and basically no one knew what happened in Chongzhou County. Knowing that the Jiangdong Zuo Army returned to Chongzhou to attack Zilang Mountain yesterday, "What happened? Why did the monks from Guangjiao Temple kill so many? The East China Sea bandits are here again?" He actually didn't want to be an official. Once, being an official dies faster than anyone else!

"Pig... Master Lin came back yesterday with Jiangdong Zuojun," Chen Jingkui stubbornly ate the word "噌'er" into his stomach, and the liangjiachang in each village invited him to Zilang Mountain last night. Now, he rushed back and led the way to ask Chen Lei to go to Zilang Mountain. He had first-hand information and said to Chen Lei, "The monk of Guangjiao Temple is a thief monk, and the East China Sea bandits came ashore, which is the road led by those thieves monks. Lin As soon as the lord came back, he immediately took down those thieves and monks. Damn, dozens of wounded pirates were hidden in temples to recover, and they were brought out together. The monasteries in the townships who were suspected of banditry were given to Jiang Dongzuo. If the army is under control, the monks and nuns will all go to Zilang Mountain for interrogation, and there is a shortage of manpower there, so they are rushing to fill the officials!"

Chen Lei has a lot of eyes and thinks that Jiangdong Zuojun will know the monks and bandits of Guangjiao Temple as soon as he returned yesterday. Could it be that someone on Xisha Island has seen the monks of Guangjiao Temple colluding with pirates?

With all kinds of doubts, Chen Lei saddled the last remaining mule in the family, took He Gui, a long-term worker, and Chen Jingkui, under the protection of two horsemen, rushed to Zilang Mountain and walked forty miles. , it's already noon.

Chen Lei rushed to the northern foothills of Zilang Mountain. The Jiangdong Zuo Army has officially stationed along the northern and eastern foothills. The command tent is set up in the Donglu Temple. The main camp of the Jiangdong Zuo Army is also at the east foot, and the Beilu Temple is used as a temporary county government. , There are several posters posted on the white and white walls on both sides of the mountain gate.

Chen Lei instructed He Gui to lead the mule to guard at the mountain gate and not to go too far. He leaned over to the wall and looked at the notices. Some of them said they were dealing with bandit cases, and they said that there were disaster relief to comfort the people. They were all urgent matters. Because it was too urgent, there was no coherence, but the two big seals commanded by the Jinghai Metropolitan envoy and Jiangdong Zuoying Township Army were prominently pressed on the big seal of the Chongzhou magistrate.

It was originally the county magistrate's responsibility to select and replace officials in the county. Wu Meijiu temporarily acted as the magistrate of Chongzhou. Chen Lei and Wu Meijiu had never had a single relationship in their eight lifetimes. Doubt: Chongzhou changed Lin Bie to call the shots?

The official history of the so-called "Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy" sounds unfamiliar, and I don't know what it is, but the order of the notices and stamps is very elegant. In addition, it is appropriate for Lin Fu and Wu Meijiu to use the seal together in the notice of the bandit case, but Lin Fu also uses the seal on the notice of Anmin and the selection of virtuous people, which means a lot.

Chen Lei thought to himself, could it have something to do with this? He walked into the courtyard of Beishanmen Buddhist Temple with Chen Jingkui, saw Hu Zhicheng walking over, hurried over and waved to him: "Brother Zhicheng! You are here too..." He knew that the Hu family had moved to the island and followed the Lord Lin. To be intimate, I want to ask what is going on. Because his son was kidnapped by pirates in the county school together, they initially thought of ways to get money and beg someone. Chen Lei, Hu Zhiyong and Hu Zhicheng got to know each other like this, and they still walked around with each other. contact. If Hu Zhicheng and Hu Zhiyong brothers helped to speak, it would make sense.

Hu Zhicheng was so busy that his **** was smoking, and Wu Meijiu cooperated quite well. Everything was pushed to him and Li Shuyi. After all, Cao Ziang and others had no official name. He wanted to ship a batch of relief food from Xisha Island. He was about to rush to the riverside to take a look, but he really didn't have time to greet Chen Lei from Chenjiaxu. , I'll talk to you when I have time..." After a few greetings, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

At this time, Chen Lei was sure that he was suddenly selected. It was the Hu brothers who helped to speak. He was grateful. Seeing that they were really busy, he did not delay him. He and Chen Jingkui went to the designated yard.

Chen Lei is not the farthest on the road, like that one, he didn't leave until dusk, so there were already sixty or seventy people in the yard. Chen Jingkui took him here and left. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has his own command. Unless he is in the by-election, he doesn't need to stay here... Many people don't know Chen Lei, and several are Chongzhou boys. Chen Lei knew the relatives of the boy who was kidnapped in the case, and he wondered if they were all recommended by the Hu brothers? Seeing so many people, I feel strange again: Do you need so many people for this by-election?

The magistrates, county chiefs, and county magistrates are all officials sent from Beijing. It is not the local government's turn to decide. The only people who can make temporary by-elections in the county are the Sixth House Book Office, the post chief, the third class yamen, and the leader of the bow and knife team. Thirteen or four people are enough. The clerks and errands in the various houses are all hired by the people, and the officials who are sent by the fat are hired as private individuals, and should not be included in the selection list.

"Where is the person from Chenjiaxu?" a soldier asked as he probed into the courtyard.

"Master Bing, the little one came from Chenjiaxu..." Chen Lei wondered what was going on.

"My little general wants to see you and wants me to be more polite to you," the soldier said, "I don't dare to be called the soldier, come with me..."

With doubts, Chen Lei followed the soldiers out of the Beishanmen Temple and walked eastward. The garrison in the east was heavily guarded. The Hu brothers didn't look for him, and a little general appeared out of nowhere.

Walking into the Dongshanmen Temple, passing through the door, and walking to a remote courtyard, I saw the young armor-piercing general waiting for him, and let the soldiers who brought him go out first. Chen Lei followed the rules and didn't dare to stare at people. He opened his mouth to say goodbye. When he looked up, he felt that this young general was very familiar, and he seemed to have hit Lei in his heart. Wasn't he robbing his two-year-old son Enze? ? He raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, only thinking that he was confused, and there are not no people in the world who look alike.

Chen Lei was about to take a closer look when Chen Enze threw himself to his knees on the ground and shouted, "Daddy, the baby is on your knees!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
