The Eleventh Year of Jiajing Lu Mansion, Beijing
"Master awake?" Lu Bing asked the maid outside the Nuan Pavilion.
There was a sound in the house, an old woman’s voice came
"But Wenfu? Come in!"
Lu Bing opened the door and walked in. There was an old man lying on the bed and an old woman sitting next to the bed. Lu Bing bowed and said:
"The son greets the father and mother, do you feel well today?"
The old man on the bed watched Lu Bing come in and got up forcefully. The old woman hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Lu Bing also hurriedly stepped forward.
The old man wore a white lining and his complexion was dull, but between his eyes, he could still see the mighty killing of the warriors. The old woman's hair was half-white, but her bearing was extraordinary.
Lu Bingli was in front of the bed, and the old man looked at this young man in a golden flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist and couldn't help but smile proudly—this is my son!
"You come." The old man buzzed.
Lu Bingyiyan stepped forward, and the old man struggled to get up and straightened Lu Bing's official hat.
"This flying fish suit has been worn by our family for several generations. We must wear it well and neatly!"
"Yes, my son remembered," Lu Bing replied respectfully.
"Go to work!" The old man waved gently
"Yes, the child retired."
…
After leaving the mansion gate, Lu Bing headed to the East City under his supervision.
Beijing has always been rich in the east, rich in the west, poor in the south and inferior in the north. In other words, Dongcheng is mostly rich businessmen and shops, while Xicheng is mostly high-ranking officials.
Three years ago, not long after Lu Bing took office, Emperor Jiajing removed his adverbs and asked him to supervise Dongcheng as Jinyiwei Qianhu. The first is to make my nanny live more comfortable. After all, East City is full of rich people, shops, and more oil and water, while West City is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, who are prone to trouble or even offend people. There are many poor families in the south, but some in the north Prosperous, but mostly fireworks.
As for the second... The emperor is also short of money, especially the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, he is still an emperor who likes to make alchemy, and he spends a lot of money to make alchemy with countless precious medicinal materials.
And Lu Bing also understood the emperor's wishes, so 70% of the filial piety received every month was sent to the emperor's inner storehouse.
When he arrived at the Dianmao courtyard of Jinyiwei in Dongcheng, Lu Bing strode to the mahogany high chair in the main hall and sat down. There were two rows of seats at the bottom, two deputy thousand households at the top, and hundreds of households in each block. Try a hundred households, and then stand behind the hundred households is the general flag under their respective jurisdiction. In the courtyard outside the gate stood the flags of the entire East City.
Today is the beginning of the month. It is necessary to redistribute the jurisdiction of each hundred households. After all, the situation of each street is different and the income is different. Therefore, drawing lots to determine the jurisdiction of each month is the fairest way.
Lu Bing saw that the time was almost up, and he said
"The two of you start to click!"
Deputy Qianhu Yuesong, Wu Jinjiang took the lead, and started to click on Mao, and from time to time, click on Mao to finish. Deputy Qianhu Yue Song had an unbearable reply: "My lord, Xue Yang has not arrived yet..."
Yue Song is tall, with a beard, and looks like a man in the green forest. At this time, because his subordinates were absent for no reason, he gritted his teeth secretly, and his face was trembling.
"Why?" Lu Bing was expressionless
"The next official will ask someone to go to his home to ask questions." Yue Song looked at Lu Bing's face and was even more flustered. He hurriedly replied, "If it is for no reason, I will skin him!"
"No need." Wu Jinjiang, another thousand households, stepped forward and glanced at Yue Song: "I know what's going on. The Dong Factory found out that Xue Yang had taken bribes illegally, and he has been arrested."
This Wu Jinjiang has a thin body, but his eyes are full of viciousness, looking at Yue Song, he replied arrogantly.
"What!" Yue Song was furious: "Why don't I know!"
"Huh, why should Dongchang tell you what it does?" Wu Jinjiang cast a scornful look at Yue Song.
"You!" Yue Song grabbed Wu Jinjiang's lapels and directly lifted it up: "Whoever does not take bribes privately is a major event, but it is also used to alarm the Dongchang factory. You think it was you deliberately mischievous! "
Wu Jinjiang was also furious, struggling desperately, and directly pulled out the Xiuchun knife: "Yue Xiu! Don't bite people without evidence..."
Yue Song watched Wu Jinjiang drew his sword, and also drew his waist sword. He also bullied that Wu Jinjiang was not as strong as him. He even carried the sword and was about to fight.
Seeing this, Lu Bing slapped the armrest and shouted in a deep voice, "Enough!"
Yue Song shook his whole body when he heard Lu Bing's low drink.
Wu Jinjiang gave a cold snort and inserted the knife back into the sheath.
Three years ago, when Lu Bing first arrived at the Dongcheng Qianhu Office, he served as Deputy Qianhu, and he was a colleague with Yue Song. Because of his youth, he was directly appointed as Deputy Qianhu from the white body. Dongcheng Jinyiwei Zhong was dissatisfied, thinking that Lu Bing was seated in this position because of his background, and Yue Song was one of them.
Unexpectedly, in less than three months, Lin Shen, a thousand households in the east city, was transferred to Shaanxi, and went to eat loess with Wang Qiong, Shangshu and Youdu Yushi of the Ministry of War.
Lin Shen, a former Qianhu in Dongcheng, was generous and kind, and he was very much loved by Dongcheng Jinyiwei. Yue Song is one of them, privately calling Lin Shen his master.
Yue Song has served here for many years. He has many close friends and a lot of money. He thought it was logical to take over the post of Thousand Households. Unexpectedly, after the appointment, it was Lu Bing who took over the position of Thousands of households. In addition, when Lin Shen was transferred to Shaanxi, it was already fifty-three. The gossips behind everyone thought it was Lu Bing who was hurting others, and Lin Shen was transferred to him. Its vacated seat.
Therefore, Yue Song was indignant and instructed the Jinyi guards in Dongcheng to make things difficult, not to cooperate with Lu Bing as an errand, and even repeatedly claimed at the gathering that he could slap Lu Bing's little white face to death.
