The sturdy life of crossing

The whole Zhongfu was in chaos, the guests who came from the wedding were in a mess with the servants, but the gate of the Zhongfu was guarded by the officers and soldiers who came, and no one could come in or out. Eye-catching, his eyes were dull, he didn't understand that welcoming a relative would encounter such a situation, his fingers were about to bleed from the palm of his hand, and he managed to calm himself to stand here.

The crowd of onlookers at the entrance of the Zhongfu had already dispersed, who dared to watch the officers and soldiers handle the case and arrest people?But the situation in the Zhong Mansion quickly spread as they dispersed. In the teahouse where Jian Leyang and the others were located, someone downstairs had already heard loudly describing the scene at that time.

Zhao Wu and Zhao Erhu looked at each other, Zhao Wu hurriedly asked the boss: "Boss knew there was such a play?"

Jian Leyang smiled and was in a good mood: "I don't have such supernatural powers, but I think it should have results, today is a coincidence, we didn't come in vain, haha... let's go, go out and see if there is anything want to buy."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Wu hurriedly pulled Zhao Erhu to follow the boss upstairs and downstairs.

Zhao Erhu was at a loss, even if the boss said today was a coincidence, he could clearly hear that the boss knew that the county magistrate Zhong would have an accident, the old... is too powerful, and he dared to propose marriage to the boss before, Zhao Erhu shuddered violently, the ignorant man is fearless, he was talking about him, and now he never dared to have that kind of thought for the boss again.

But with Jian Leyang around, he has taken root in the Canghe Gang. If others don't believe him, he believes in Jian Leyang.

When Jian Leyang and the others returned to Canghe Town, the news had already reached here one step at a time. Zhang Meng and Li Si came over to confirm the news with Zhao Wu. They said that they saw officers and soldiers rushing in to arrest people when they were welcoming the relatives in Zhongfu. The two were very happy to hear it, and regretted not going to see it with the boss. Just that dog officer made the former Tiger Gang have no place in the county. Fortunately, the boss took him in, otherwise they don't know where they are going.

Jian Leyang confessed to them: "Don't reveal your identities for now, who knows if those people in Jiangnan will be tracking down your whereabouts. We made them suffer such a big loss, how can they let it go."

We listen to the boss. "The days are not worse than before, and they have nothing to complain about.

The news of the common people is not so well-informed. When Jian Leyang returned to Yongan Village, no one mentioned the arrest of County Magistrate Zhong. Only Jian’s father and mother were informed by Jian Leyang. Jian’s father was very happy that such a corrupt official was arrested, but he was worried What would a county magistrate be like if he was sent.

The next day, Jian Lao San returned to Yong'an Village with his wife. Others saw it strangely. The daughter-in-law of Jian Lao San's family rarely set foot in Yong'an Village except during Chinese New Year. Jane and the third came back together.Jian Laosan said nicely to everyone that the second elder was not in good health, and they came back to serve the second elder. This statement was praised by many people, but what kind of expression they had when they closed the door was another matter.

Jian Leyang sneered when she heard about this, and Aunt Zhao said curiously, "Brother Yang, do you know the reason? Tell Auntie quickly." Based on what she knew about Jian Lao San and his wife, things would never be as good as they said.

"Brother Yang, tell me, did your third uncle and aunt come back to hide because they were afraid of being involved in the matter of County Magistrate Zhong?" Although Jian Niang didn't quite understand the affairs of the officialdom, the accident happened to County Magistrate Zhong yesterday. Jian's third child came back today, and the timing was too coincidental, so I couldn't help but make this association.

Aunt Zhao didn't know about it, and Mother Jian explained it to her in detail, and Aunt Zhao clapped her hands suddenly: "It must be like this, I don't know if Jian's third father-in-law will be involved, no, I have to go back and tell my family Kouzi, he still doesn't know about the county magistrate.

"The man in her family is Li Zheng. He usually has a lot of business dealings with the Yamen, but he hasn't heard of it until now. We can't let him be fooled by Jian Laosan."

At this moment in the big house of Jian’s family, the old man almost vomited blood when he heard the news brought back by Jian’s third child. How could the luck of the third child be so bad this time? The county magistrate Zhong was arrested. , When the next county magistrate takes office, can he still appoint the third son's father-in-law?

Perhaps the happiest person in this family belongs to Xiao Wang. The three younger siblings were so proud before. Even when they came back during the Chinese New Year, they could do nothing without doing anything. But she was extremely jealous, now she wished that the third sibling's family would be involved, to see what capital she had to be arrogant in the future.

Although Jian Wan and Jian Hehua did not deal with each other, they were both unhappy when they came back, and they did not want to go back to Yong'an Village at all.

In the end, Mr. Jian said: "It's good if you come back. During this time, you can study at home with peace of mind and concentrate on preparing for the next year's rural examination. It is better to rely on yourself than rely on others. When the third child becomes a juren, it will be much easier to find an official position." .” At that time, there is no need for a master.

"Yes, father, my son listens to father's arrangement, and concentrates on studying at home during these days."

Jian's third son's words immediately coaxed the second elder to smile again, especially the old lady, Xiucai Niang asked her to raise her head and walk in the village. He became more and more loving, and when he turned to Mrs. Liu, he put on a serious face: "The third child's family must take good care of the third child during this time. If there is any situation with the third child, my wife will not spare you."

"Yes, mother." Mrs. Liu couldn't see the change in the family's attitude towards her. She also hoped that Xianggong could be admitted to Juren as soon as possible. When she became a wife of Juren, her status would be different.

In the days that followed, Jian Leyang saw that the youngest Jian had never left Yong'an Village, and said that he would concentrate on studying at home to prepare for the provincial examination. Jian Leyang's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he asked Jane's father: "The third uncle really has the level to take the provincial examination. ?

Jian Leyang remembered clearly at first that Father Jian's expression was extremely complicated at that time, but the answer he gave was very certain: "Your third uncle is still a little bit worse." Jian Leyang believed that his father's statement had already given third uncle face, By a little bit, it actually means that there is a lot of distance.

Not long after, news spread from the county that Zhu Bo had been arrested, along with many other people, and the new county magistrate was already on his way and would soon arrive in Xindan County.

"Brother Yang, this is the news from the county steward Qu. Look, it's the situation in Beijing." When Jian Leyang went to Hua Ren Tang, Doctor Hua stuffed him with a letter.

This is exactly what Jian Leyang needed. He lacked such a news channel, so he quickly opened it to read it, and laughed after reading it quickly. How tense is the situation here.

The letter said that the old emperor ignored the situation in Jiangnan at first, and the Jiang family was very arrogant because of the pregnant and favored concubine Li, and did not restrain them at all. Just half a month later, the old emperor didn't know why. She suddenly lost her temper and ordered people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to bring a group of officials surnamed Jiang to the capital to interrogate. Some officials in the capital were also implicated. It seems that Concubine Li also ate melons at first, but then news spread that Concubine Li suffered from abdominal pain. The old emperor stayed in Concubine Li's palace for several days in a row. It can be seen that Concubine Li did not fall out of favor at all because of the Jiang family and Jiangnan's affairs, and was still gaining power.

Jian Leyang shook his head after reading it. Guanshi Hao was also present. He had read the letter before Jian Leyang. Guanshi Hao held the tea bowl and said, "Brother Yang, you can see it too. Don't look at the old emperor who sent such a big letter before." Huo, but in the end, when the demon concubine Li concubine got involved, in the end, the Jiang family and the officials of that faction were likely to be treated lightly. Our Majesty,..."

Guanshi Hao shook his head and stopped talking. Everyone knows that there must be no good things to say.

Jian Leyang can't take care of the affairs of the palace for the time being. Now that the matters in Xindan County are resolved, let the people in the capital fight for themselves.When he returned to the Canghe Gang, Zhang Meng also sent a letter: "Boss, someone sent a letter specifying that it was for the boss."

Jian Leyang was extremely surprised, why did he deliver the letter today, and while receiving the letter, he asked, "Did you tell me who sent it?"

"The man said that the boss will understand after reading the letter." Zhang Changmeng said.

Jian Leyang didn't doubt that there was him, opened the letter and looked at the inscription on the back first, and said with a smile: "It's actually a letter from that young master Hua. I didn't expect that young master Hua still remembered our little gang."

"It's him!" Zhang Meng was also surprised, "Did Master Hua say something?"

Jian Leyang was already reading the letter, and said as he read it: "His letter mainly talked about the situation in the capital. This young master Hua may know that I don't understand the situation in the capital, so he wrote about it. Anyway, I have to thank you for this." Master Hua remembers us."

This letter supplements the missing information from Guanshi Qu. Huajia’s source of information is more reliable. Why did the old emperor lose his temper after ignoring him at first? Isn’t it because a large sum of money was involved? The emperor figured out one thing. The large sum of money that the Jiang family swallowed in Jiangnan was actually the old emperor's, so the old emperor was in a hurry. Does he not need the money?Of course you need it!

Who does the money in Jiangnan belong to?Of course it belonged to the old emperor, but now the gang of officials in Jiangnan swallowed up the money that belonged to the emperor, how could the old emperor handle it lightly?So check it out!He insisted on investigating and recovering the money, and sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to comfort the victims in a symbolic way.

After Jian Leyang figured out this matter, she was even more disappointed with the old emperor. The court was tossed by the old emperor like this, plus natural disasters and man-made disasters, how long can this great prosperity last?In fact, he doesn't want to see the chaos of wars. He is the only one who pays off. It doesn't matter how he fights, as long as he doesn't offend him. But now he has a family, and in troubled times, he is doomed to live in trouble. Parents and younger brother Wen Yuan They are all ordinary people.

Zhang Mengheng sneered, he couldn't speak ill of the emperor, but he also knew how bad the old emperor's behavior was.

"Don't worry about that. Our new county magistrate is coming. Master Hua said in his letter that he is a young official, not from the Jiang family faction. On the surface, he is much better than the previous county magistrate Zhong." Too clean and honest, In fact, it is not good for the survival of gangs like them, and they are also subject to many constraints.

"That's good. Let's go to the county to have a look on the day when the new county magistrate arrives." Finally something good happened, Zhang Meng said happily.

On that day, Jian Leyang did not go there as Feng Le's boss, but brought Jian Wenyuan and Tian Xiaoniu along to watch the fun and watch the new county magistrate.

During this period of time, Jian Leyang bought a cow for his family. Because of the drought, some families sold their cows to make ends meet. Jian Leyang bought one just because he liked it. According to the current conditions of Jian's family, he bought another cow in the village. It didn't attract too much heated discussion at all, and some people said that it's time to buy cattle in places like Jian's.

When he got into the car and passed in front of Jian's big house, Tian Xiaoniu said: "Uncle Jian left yesterday, brother Leyang, Uncle Jian also went to see the new county magistrate."

Jian Leyang glanced at the closed door of the big house, and said: "At this time, I must go to the county for the new county magistrate. Look, there are more gentry in the county and surrounding areas going this time."

All the way to Xindan County, I saw Zhang Meng and the others in the crowd, Zhang Meng and others who knew Jian Leyang's identity also saw him, but they didn't stay on him too much, so as not to accidentally expose the identity of the boss. What kind of person the county magistrate is is still unknown.

The county government was severely arrested by the officials from the original prefecture, and the one surnamed Zhong was taken away. Today's county government can be said to be withered, and the rest is led by a county magistrate who has been suppressed by the county magistrate Zhong before. Compared with these people, the gentry and merchants behind are relatively large in scale. When the county magistrate didn't arrive, the scene was buzzing. They didn't get any news. What happened to the new county magistrate? Who is it, what is his temper, and whether he can deal with it well.

Jian Leyang also saw the youngest Jian in the crowd. Those who stayed with him should be scholars from Xindan County and surrounding towns. Not many of them were young, and some had gray hair. They coughed and looked at him from time to time. official way.

"Here we come! There is movement on the official road!"

"My lord, the new county magistrate is here!" This is a person from the county government sent by the county magistrate, who rushed back to report the appearance of the new county magistrate. They don't dare to take power in front of the new county magistrate at present, so they should honestly work under the new county magistrate.

Sure enough, a group of people appeared at the end of the official road. Maybe they knew that they were coming, so the new county magistrate also set up a show. Jian Leyang had excellent eyesight. He raised his hand to cover the dazzling light and looked over there. When the person in the county magistrate's uniform walked in the middle immediately, he showed surprise.

That person is not someone else, but He Yunzhang who escaped from Xindan County!

The portrait hanging at the gate of the city hasn’t been torn off yet. This is great. The wanted person has returned as a county magistrate. Jian Leyang thought about how He Yunzhang would feel when he saw the portrait. stand up.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Jian Wenyuan only saw a group of people appearing, but he couldn't see them clearly, besides, he had never seen He Yunzhang.

Jian Leyang said happily: "The new county magistrate should be a very interesting person."
