Nongmen Shenjue

Before arriving in Yueliang Prefecture, Changliu Town got the news. Knowing that Wen Jixue will come, the residence is naturally packed.After Liu Yi left, Mu Qingyan opened the door and looked around, very satisfied.

In the room, there is a clay pot for the stove, which is convenient for hot water. There is also a brazier with good charcoal inside.Felt curtains are hung on the door to block the cold wind and humidity, and the windows are covered with bright paper. When the curtains are drawn during the day, the lighting will not be affected.

Mu Qingyan took off his cloak and put it on the clothes hanger, rinsed the tea cups, and made two cups of weak tea.

Wen Jixue drank tea and was still thinking about the case of the six members of the Zheng family.

Not long after, Liu Yi brought someone to bring food.Liu Yi is not only an innkeeper, but also has good cooking skills. Stewed mutton, fried tofu, fried river prawns, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried taro balls, and two casserole chicken soup rice noodles with mountain mushrooms, two small bowls of sweet Boil glutinous rice balls with wine.

The meal came late, the two of them were really hot and cold, and there were many at the table, and they almost finished eating in the end.

Waking up early the next day, Liu Yi delivered breakfast.

Tofu nao and pan-fried buns.I guess I know the taste of Wen Jixue. The tofu nao is salty, so I prepared the marinade, sprinkled mustard, crushed peanuts, and added chili oil. The tofu nao is very fresh and tender, and the marinade is just right.The pan-fried buns are stuffed with pork, with skin jelly added, and the rich juice is eaten in one bite. The skin is sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onion, and the bottom is browned. It is also delicious.

"I bought this in the town." Wen Jixue drove into the town last night, and had already seen the shops on the street.Not to mention the fried buns, tofu nao is a bit troublesome to make, and Liu Yi can't do everything by himself.

"Go out to eat next time." Mu Qingyan could tell that Liu Yi was different from Gao Tian and the others.People like Gao Tian and Jiao Li seemed to be alone, maybe even followed him out of a photo studio, but Liu Yi was a native of Changliu Town, maybe it was just a coincidence that Wen Jixue took him by his side.

After the meal, the two left the inn and chose a path to leave the town.

Wen Jixue took him to Xuejia Village.

It takes an hour to walk to Changliu Town in Xuejia Village.

This road is very spacious and basically flat. It was rebuilt after the Xue family made a fortune.At that time, the local government and the people highly respected the Xue family, actively participated in road construction, and raised funds to build a shrine for the life of General Xue at the head of Xuejia Village.When we came to the end of the road, the dilapidated shrine came into view, behind which were ruined houses with weeds all over the place, like graveyards.

There is only one village, Xuejia Village, which has been tabooed by people for many years, and no one has migrated here.The fields near the village are all good fields, most of which are sacrificed by the Xue family. After the Xue family incident, the land was confiscated, and now it belongs to another family.In the slack winter, there are naturally no people on the land. Usually, I go to the mountains to collect firewood and hunt. There is a mountain behind Xuejia Village. All the ancestors of the Xuejia were buried there. It is the cemetery of the Xuejia ancestors.Although the affairs of the Xue family will not affect the dead ancestors, but no one has taken care of them for more than ten years, and the grave has long been deserted.

This was also one of the reasons why Wen Jixue didn't come back.

So what if he comes back?The great revenge has not been avenged, so he can't expose it. When he came back, he saw the ancestral tomb was deserted, but he couldn't take care of it.It's fine that these are the same family from the next room, but his biological parents, brothers and sisters, no one restrained them after death, they could not be buried, and even his bones could not be found when he was able.

"This was originally my grandfather's ancestral hall." Wen Jixue stepped into the dilapidated gate, and the gate had long since disappeared. Weathered, already blurred.

Wen Jixue said again: "It turned out that when my father was stationed at the border, the local government said they wanted to add a statue to my father here, but my father refused. Both my grandfather and my father thought it was too late. It is reasonable that even my grandfather did not want to build a shrine. , but knowing that the time has come, the emperor also issued an order to reward the local government and give a plaque to the Shrine..."

Wen Jixue never liked to mention the past honors and disgraces of the Xue family, but this time she touched the scene and said a lot.

For example, it was not the current emperor who bestowed a plaque on the Shengci Temple, but the former emperor.So there are no fragments of the plaque here, because no one dared to smash that plaque, and if there was a plaque, no one would dare to move this living temple.The current one is really powerful, he directly sent the prince to come and "invite" the late emperor's plaque back.

Since the emperor decided to push the boat down, he would definitely not leave any hidden dangers, and this result was expected.

It is precisely because of this that the local people became more and more afraid, and did not dare to approach Xuejia Village for several years.

At that time, there were so-called whistleblowers from time to time, either true or false, that they were involved with the Xue family and so on.

Wen Jixue let out a long sigh, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her emotions had calmed down.

He knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times to the broken statue without saying a word.

Seeing Mu Qingyan, he bowed to the statue three times.

Wen Jixue held his hand and smiled: "If grandpa is really here, I will be miserable."

But Mu Qingyan couldn't talk and laugh like him. After all, if he could, everyone would like their loved ones to live.

Without personal experience, it is always difficult to empathize.I personally came to Xuejia Village and saw the dilapidation and desolation everywhere. I can imagine how prosperous and lively it was at the beginning. How many lives were taken away by an imperial decree. Wen Jixue's martial arts can be regarded as advanced, but she could not directly assassinate the emperor. How could it be less.

The only consolation is that the day when the mystery is revealed is not far away.

On the way back, the two talked about the county magistrate Xi Yong.

"This Xi Yong has been entrenched in Yueliang Prefecture for a long time, relying on King Rong and the Wu family to be stable until now. But today is different, Li Guifei mother and son were reprimanded for the incident in Wanxia County, and they are dormant and low-key. At that time, the faction attached to it also all restrained, but this Xi Yong thought the sky was high and the emperor was far away." Wen Jixue said coldly: "Then change to another county magistrate, no matter how bad it is, it is just like Xi Yong."

There are so many corrupt officials in the world, Wen Jixue doesn't have the time to take care of such nosy matters, but Xi Yong's targeting of the six members of the Zheng family this time, framing them so rampantly, really touched Wen Jixue's anger.

Wen Jixue didn't think much of Zheng's family, but since they met, he couldn't ignore them.

It has been three years since she left the control of the photo studio, and she came back once at the very first time, and arranged for Liu Yi and others.He was trapped in a photo studio in his early years. Although he started to accept tasks at the age of 20 and could go out, but at that time the photo studio was very controlled, and he was also worried about being exposed, so he didn't dare to go to Yueliang Prefecture.

In the past three years, although he deliberately didn't come back, the relevant news here has not stopped.

He knew the details of the Zheng family in Huangpo Village, their years of experience, and their current situation.However, it's just knowing, instructing Liu Yi to help secretly.Xue's family matters a lot, as a former fellow villager, being implicated in such a way, but not getting into trouble and venting anger, is enough to make people look at him highly, Wen Jixue doesn't say anything, but thinks about it in his heart.

Mu Qingyan was very clear about his thoughts, but he had doubts: "It's just to change the county magistrate, but this case has already been closed in the county government. As long as it is reported, it is impossible to bring it back for retrial."

Wen Jixue smiled: "No, it's not impossible, as long as you use the right strategy, you will definitely succeed."

Mu Qingyan was curious: "What trick do you have?"

"This is going to be tricky, you just have to wait and see." Wen Jixue didn't say anything.

Mu Qingyan sneered: "If you don't say it, I don't say it, I'm not that eager." The joke was a joke, he frowned and said: "Leaving aside the results, if you want to make arrangements, take Xi Yong down, it won't take three or five days. effort."

According to the normal process, officials will return to Beijing to report on their duties at the end of the year. If there is a job change, it will be done before the end of the year, and the officials will get the news before or after the year.

For example, Xi Yong, without the special call of the emperor, of course he could not go to the capital. His official evaluation was in the hands of the Zhizhou, who reported it to each level, and the governor sent it to the Ministry of Officials.In other words, if there is something wrong with Xi Yong, he has to catch up with the time before the year, and if he misses the time, he has to wait until next year.

Wen Jixue said: "By March next year, Xi Yong's term in Guining County will be full again. Where do you think he will go?"

A term of office is three years, and usually officials can be re-elected at most once in a certain place, that is, six years.

Xi Yong was initially re-elected in Tianyu County for six years, and he was re-elected in Guining County, which will soon be six years.Then, after the expiration of his term, Xi Yong will definitely be transferred. Flat transfer, left transfer, and promotion are all possible.If he doesn't get promoted, he will have to leave Yueliang Prefecture, because Yueliang Prefecture is Zhili Prefecture, with only Guining and Tianyu counties under its jurisdiction.

As for the Zhizhou of Yueliang Prefecture, which is the fifth rank, Xi Yong is not so capable of seeking it.

Mu Qingyan ignored this before, and couldn't help frowning: "This... Judging from his previous actions, it seems that he is entrenched here and refuses to leave. It is impossible to go up, and there is no other place for him to level off. Most likely, he just leaves. Yueliang Prefecture." After a little hesitation, he said, "No way, he was transferred back to Tianyu County, right?"

If there is no case of the six members of the Zheng family, it would be the best way to let Xi Yong leave.But by that time, the case will never turn around, and they can't afford it.

"That would be too stupid, revealing her thoughts, and easily attracting attention and attack." Wen Jixue shook her head.

When Xi Yong transferred from Tianyu County to Guining County, it was considered as a transfer from a mediocre county to a wealthy county, which is human nature.It is also reasonable for him to fight for re-election. He went to other places, even if it is still an equally prosperous place, but he has to start from scratch, which is far worse than laying the foundation in Guining County.

Xi Yong has been in Yueliang Prefecture for nearly 12 years, if there is no better place to go, he must be reluctant to leave.

"Someone will succeed him?" If Xi Yong really had other intentions in Yueliang State besides collecting wealth, then the current situation must have been expected and the successor had been prepared long ago.

"Go to Tantan to find out. However, no matter whether he leaves or not, he has to pay back what he owes Yue Liangzhou!"

Mu Qingyan nodded: "Actually, in my opinion, I have some doubts about Xi Yong's mission. It's nothing else, but Li Guifei's mother and son, although I can't say that they have nothing to do with the Xue family's affairs, but according to the old Concubine Li's status has limited influence, so no matter what, she shouldn't worry about it, and it's been 12 years since she was buried here...it's hard to imagine."

In short, if someone is monitoring Yueliang Prefecture, whether it is the old emperor, or the hidden real culprit and the biggest beneficiary, it is reasonable, but it is really difficult for Concubine Li, mother and son to agree.

The author has something to say: There is a mistake in the previous part that Yueliang Prefecture is Zhili Prefecture, and Zhili Prefecture only governs counties, um... I clearly wrote it, so I am confused.This has little impact, and the mobile phone update is not easy to change. I will revise the previous chapters two days later.
