Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

After Xie Gui sternly refused a few times, Feng Zhang stopped clinging to him at night, and came to talk to him when he was free, and the days were quite peaceful.

The medicinal materials are slowly being collected, and there are only a few rare medicinal materials left, which will not be available until the caravan returns to Daysun.

The courtiers were deeply concerned about Xie Gui's life experience, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find out the cause and effect.

Therefore, Xie Yong, who had been lurking for a long time, made a move.

Xie Yong wrote a letter in tears, begging to let Xie's family and his eldest son go.Xie Gui is his young and romantic child, his biological mother has disappeared and so on.

Looking at the entire gentry, there are only a handful of people who are young and not romantic, but no one insists on this.Anyway, it has not been found out so far, His Majesty can give some punishment.

At the beginning of May, Xie Gui was imprisoned in the prison for nearly a month, and was finally released.Immediately after he received the decree, he moved to be the governor of Jinghai County, added Prince Shao Fu, and went to Jinghai County to take up his post today.

The courtiers were even more melancholy.

Your Majesty, is this mentioning or demoting?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

At the end of the month, Xie Gui left Beijing in a car and rode, but His Majesty didn't say anything.The courtiers clamped their tails tightly and did not dare to make mistakes.

When they made a fuss, Prime Minister Xie was thrown out of the capital. Although His Majesty complied with their wishes calmly, the debt will be settled sooner or later.

On the carriage to Jinghai County, Qin Jiu was complaining: "My lord didn't come to see you off!"

Feng Ya's little head shrank aside, Xie Gui patted him, and gave Qin Jiu a wink: "I finally got out of the capital, and once he sent it off, the previous things would be for nothing."

Times are tough for courtiers these days.In order to consolidate the government, His Majesty exiled even the most favored Prime Minister Xie, there is nothing he can't do.

This time when he came out, Xie Gui asked Feng Ya from Xie Mansion and took her away.Qin Jiu stumbled on Xie Gui's nose, and turned his attention to Fengya.

Feeling the meaningful gaze of Qin Jiu, who was tall and thin like a monkey, Feng Ya shrank behind Xie Gui in fright, not daring to poke her head out.

From June to August, it is the hottest period of the year in Jinghai County.When Xie Gui's chariot arrived at Changfeng, the prefecture, Qin Jiu was so hot that he collapsed. He found another carriage by himself, and could not get up all day long.

Both Xie Gui and Feng Ya are used to staying in Qingjiang County, Qingjiang County is similar to Jinghai County, so they are quite used to it, just watch Qin Jiu's jokes.

Jinghai County is the most powerful among the three counties in the southeast. It has always been controlled by the emperor's confidant ministers, and has been suppressing local officials and officials all the year round.Therefore, compared with Shuofang County, the officials here are more respectful and respectful to Xie Gui, and Xie Gui's post of Sheriff is also smoother.

However, it doesn't mean that some people are used to Xie Gui being so comfortable, especially the Sheng and Wei families.

They fought with Xie's family in the capital, and when Xie Gui returned to Jinghai County, they also tried their best to trip him up.

In mid-June, less than ten days after Xie Gui took over as the county governor, something happened in Changfeng, the county governor.

Some iron workshops under the jurisdiction of the county government have heard rumors of iron ore outflows, which are said to be related to the newly appointed sheriff.

In the scorching midsummer, the county government was crowded with people, waiting for the new sheriff to appear.

Mr. Xie hasn't shown up since he entered Changfeng, he kept complaining about his illness, but the affairs were handled very quickly.

When Xie Gui appeared, the crowd fell silent, all eyes were on him, and no one dared to discuss it anymore.

Some people think that, as expected of a person who has reached the aspect at a young age, this aura of calmness and prestige is really not easy.

It was Li Junwei of Jinghai County who brought up this matter. Others only said that he had some background and his official position was stable, so he took the lead, and no one objected.

The matter of ironware can be big or small, but when Mr. Xie came, he went straight to the main seat and drank tea.The little book boy was busy fanning him, but he never looked this way.

So bold.

Li Junwei looked at him calmly, and then stepped forward: "Thank you, sir."

Xie Gui glanced at him quietly, but didn't speak.

Outsiders don't know Li Junwei's way, but he knows it very well.Tiangangwei mentioned that the leader was Li Junwei. He felt that this surname looked familiar, so he asked someone to check, and he really found something.

Li Junwei has a close relationship with the Seventh Prince's party who has long lost power. He is the Seventh Prince's mother concubine, and the mother's family of Li Concubine.He is not in the long line of the family, and has a relatively distant relationship, but because of the reputation of the Li family, he has the opportunity to move around in the officialdom.

The county lieutenant is not a big official position, but he holds a lot of power, and all military and political affairs in the county are under his control.If nothing happened to the Seventh Prince, he would be able to slowly climb up the rank of county lieutenant, and maybe he would eventually become an official in the same dynasty as Xie Gui.It's a pity that the Seventh Prince died long ago, which also caused him to be stuck here, and he hasn't been promoted for several years.

If Commander Li hadn't jumped out, Xie Gui might not have noticed him.After all, the toxicity is onset slowly, and he wants to minimize the number of times he exerts himself.

Li Junwei didn't know his thin relationship, Xie Gui had already investigated him thoroughly.At this time, he had shown a generous gesture, and said to Xie Gui: "Master Xie, this is a big matter, I hope your lord will give an explanation to the officials and others."

The aroma of Mangshanxue was refreshing, Fengzhang prepared a lot for him, and told Tiangangwei, if there is new tea, he must hurry to Xiegui.

Xie Gui Youyou took a sip of tea, and said in surprise: "Master Li, the weather is hot, you are in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

Captain Li frowned, "My lord, you clearly know..."

As a county guard, Xie Gui can't be as casual as a prime minister, if he said he didn't know about it, he would give Li Junwei a reason to talk.

Xie Gui nodded, "I do know, but isn't the matter already resolved? You came here with great fanfare just to discuss a resolved matter with this officer?"

Li Junwei has been held back in this position for too long, and has rarely met Xie Gui, a person who is gentle on the surface, but is actually a mess. The artisans who said that the iron ore was outflowed, it is true. And..."

"Besides, the iron ore is all flowed to my subordinates, do you want to say that?" Xie Gui smiled.

Li Junyi bowed his head, "I dare not."

Xie Gui put the tea bowl on the table, and there was a crisp sound, but it was like a thousand weights falling to the ground, which made Li Junwei's heart tremble.

Xie Gui smiled lightly: "You have brought everyone here, so why not dare to bring them in."

The last sentence was said to the outside, a male voice responded lazily, and brought in several craftsmen.

Li Junwei's heart skipped a beat.

He prepared a few people, originally to gag Xie Gui's mouth, there are witnesses and witnesses, let's see how Xie Gui explains.

As soon as Qin Jiu came in, all the officials knew that His Majesty sent it to Lord Xie, and no one dared to question it.Qin Jiu didn't bother to look at them, so he put them in front of the officials and stood beside Xie Gui.

Before a few craftsmen spoke, Captain Li said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, just speak up if you have something to say. I will uphold justice for you."

The outflow of iron ore is a very delicate matter, and it is seriously suspected of treason.But Li Junwei said this at this time, only to comfort the craftsmen, to support the craftsmen, and let them not be afraid of Xie Gui.

Xie Gui glanced at Li Junwei with a half-smile.

Several craftsmen saluted respectfully, but turned their heads to Xie Gui and said: "Lord County Sheriff, Commander Li threatened the villains to come today, I hope there are a lot of Lord Sheriffs, let the villains go... "

There was an uproar.

Li Junwei was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect these people to identify Xie Gui as soon as they came up, but...on the field, how did they identify him?

Xie Gui watched a big show with a smile.Until Li Junwei left in disgrace, his smile hadn't restrained.

Qin Jiu sent several craftsmen back, and when he came back, he saw that he was still smiling, and couldn't help complaining to him: "Young master, if you laugh like that again, I will write a letter to the master."

Li Junwei only knows one thing but not the other.It is true that several craftsmen did not know each other with Xie Guisu, but almost all skilled craftsmen in the world obeyed the arrangements of the Tianyi Society's master.

Xie Gui shook his head, "Don't be too suspicious of senior brother, he just has good intentions."

Wei Chu heard that someone had recruited his craftsmen and wanted to plot against Xie Gui, so he immediately reported to Xie Gui.Xie Gui didn't startle the snake, and directly slapped Commandant Li in the face at the most critical moment.

Qin Jiu glanced at Xie Gui suspiciously.

Just kidding, let's get back to business.Xie Gui suppressed his smile and told Qin Jiu: "Send a message to Your Majesty immediately that the Sheng and Wei families are in collusion with the rest of the prince's henchmen, let Your Majesty pay attention."

Even Li Junwei, the Seventh Prince's henchman, could be incited, and those two families really spared no effort to trip him up.

However, in this way, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys makes the rest of the officials quieter.Usually when encountering difficult things, I try my best to finish it by myself, and then I will inform Xie Gui at the end, and I dare not bother Xie Gui.

Half a year passed without incident.Entering November, Pomegranate came to Jinghai County for a trip.

When she came, Qin Jiu still made fun of her, fearing that Yan Qi would feel sorry for her, so he was stuffed with pomegranate in the water, and couldn't speak for three days.

Xie Gui admired: "It's best to save a copy of this medicine for me. If he gets noisy in the future, I'll give him another."

Qin Jiu stood aside resentfully, looking at Pomegranate pitifully.

Shiliu didn't bother to talk to him, so he took Xie Gui's pulse first, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The poison is slower than expected, it seems that this is the right place. The medicinal materials are still two flavors away, and we can get them together soon--in addition, my lord Let me give this to the son."

Shiliu took out something and lifted the brocade wrapped outside, revealing the newly polished bamboo flute inside.

Xie Gui took the bamboo flute and remained silent for a long time.

Shiliu came here this time at Feng Zhang's order, to stay in Changfeng City, and always pay attention to the poison on Xie Gui's body.As for the collection of medicinal materials, Yan Qi was worried, because the matter at hand of Pomegranate had to be temporarily handed over to him, leaving him with nowhere to complain.

And her second purpose of staying here is the last and most rare medicinal herb, sea lotus.

This medicinal material is extremely rare and difficult to preserve, so it is worth thousands of gold.Because it comes from the other side of the sea, Shun has few people who know it, but Pomegranate happens to be able to distinguish it because he has detoxified Fengzhang.

And the fleet transporting the lotus in the sea will return to Daysun before the year.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when every family eats Laba porridge, pomegranate cooks porridge with their own hands.Qin Jiu didn't dare to make fun of her this time, so he only dared to drink his porridge in suspense.

Halfway through drinking the porridge, a young Tiangang Guard hurried in and stared blankly at Pomegranate, not daring to meet Xie Gui's gaze.
