Ye Xiaotian's words seemed a bit brazen, but if he had the cheek to reveal his status as a venerable, it wouldn't be considered bragging. Although the identity of Gu Sect Venerable is really not awe-inspiring to the officials and gentry who live in a civilized society and do not know much about the so-called Gu Sect that Shen Shan Shengmiao believes in, but it was only half a year ago. A small prison guard who left the capital now has hundreds of thousands of people, is it a myth
In the chief envoy's yamen, the inspector Wang Haoming had just arrived not long ago, and he was drinking tea and chatting with the chief envoy Jiang Xin at the moment. Adhering to the principle of "the king does not see the king", these two officials of the frontier region never appear in public together, let alone visit each other's yamen, except for occasional banquets and social occasions.
But today is different, Wang Haoming is also a student of politics in the province, and he admitted the candidates, and these admitted candidates, whether they are officials or become local gentry celebrities, have to deal with the chief minister's yamen, so In this interview, the two of them must appear together.
The two of them were talking in an official tone, when a yamen servant suddenly rushed in and reported loudly: "Master, the judges are fighting at the gate of the yamen."
Wang Haoming's expression sank when he heard that. He had just boasted to Jiang Xin how knowledgeable and moral the candidates he admitted were, and how these people would help Jiang Buzheng carry out his mission if they became local officials or gentry. Political policy, isn't this a slap in the face
But this is Jiang Buzheng's territory, although Wang Haoming was angry, he didn't want to explode, he just looked sideways at Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin was always upright, and when he heard this, he was immediately displeased, and his face sank like water: "Why are you fighting?"
The yamen servant said: "Go back to the master, the candidates are lining up in order to wait for the master to hear, suddenly a field steward came and accused a candidate named Ye Xiaotian of seducing his fiancée with flattering words, and even killed this The woman's father caused the woman's mother and daughter to be at odds. Ye Xiaotian was furious, and rushed to grab him and beat and kicked him. He also had a tall follower who also did it together. .”
"oh?"
Jiang Buzheng's face moved slightly, and he glanced at Wang Haoming lightly, because in the official document handed over to him by Wang Yacha, he had specifically mentioned several people and recommended them emphatically, among them was Ye Xiaotian, who had already Yes.
Wang Haoming knew that it was not the fundamental purpose of the Xia family to seek fame and fame for Ye Xiaotian, the ultimate goal must be to give him an official status, but it was not up to him to make decisions on this matter, but as the examiner of the current imperial examination, he has the right to recommend, Therefore, it is better to act first, and in the official document handed over to the chief secretary, it is deliberately mentioned that Ye Xiaotian has a strong personality and is determined to make progress, and he can be sent to Hu County to work in Hu County, in order to open up the situation in Hu County.
Jiang Buzheng glanced at him, and said with a half-smile, "Master Wang, this Ye Xiaotian is really as you said, with a strong personality and determination to forge ahead!"
Wang Haoming's old face turned slightly hot, and he coughed and said, "It must be that Ye Xiaotian humiliated Cui Xiangxian at the Qiyun Pavilion that day. You have heard about it, Mr. Jiang. Hehe, this person has a hot temper, but He is not afraid of power, this kind of person is more suitable to be stationed in Hu County than a mature and stable person."
Wang Haoming said, he didn't know how regretful he was, he knew that Ye Xiaotian would make such a thing, why would he recommend Ye Xiaotian so much, this Jiang Buzheng is a upright person, and he doesn't buy the account of those chieftains. If he didn't talk too much, after Ye Xiaotian made such a fuss, Jiang Buzheng was annoyed, then how could Ye Xiaotian still have a chance to become an official? It's good now, she clearly hates him, but she still has to speak well of him.
Jiang Buzheng's heart moved slightly after hearing Wang Haoming's words. Since he governed Guizhou since he was in power, he has more than maintained his achievements but not developed enough. Several court elders in the court put him here in the hope that he could open up the situation and strengthen the imperial court's control over Guizhou.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Guizhou, he realized that without the nods of the chieftains, his decree would not be able to leave the gate of the mansion, and it would be a piece of waste paper. In the past few years, they could only barely maintain the situation without making any achievements, especially in Huxian County.
The two chieftains in Huling fought for land until they launched an army to fight. The imperial court decisively sent troops to quell the war, dismissed the two chieftains, established Huling as Huxian County, and established Liuguan, which was equivalent to winning for the imperial court another area directly controlled by the imperial court. Territory, this is the proud work of several court elders in the court.
However, it has been more than three years since Huling was established as a county, and this crucial place located at the northernmost post road in Guizhou is still not in the hands of the imperial court. For this reason, he has been reprimanded by secret letters from the elders several times.
Now Yang Yinglong wants to put Zhao Wenyuan, the son of Bozhou Amu Zhao Xin, in Hu County, and the Tian family wants to put Xu Boyi, a member of the Tian family, in Hu County. Obviously, the chieftains in Guizhou have come to realize that they want to bring the imperial court into Guizhou. "This hand" was cut off, and Hu County was once again in his own hands.
Because of this, Jiang Buzheng complied with both the demands of Yang and Tian, determined to fight the wolves and tigers, let the two chieftains, Tian and Yang, compete first, and one can consume the resources of the two chieftains. Strength, and secondly, they can check and balance each other.
Now this Ye Xiaotian appears again, it is said that he is the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai appointed by the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake, if he is allowed to go to Hu County, the situation there will inevitably become more chaotic, the more chaotic the better, the chaotic, the court will only It's so messy to profit from.
Thinking of this, Jiang Buzheng smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, young man, you can't lose your blood just because you read the book. Mr. Wang has already come to a conclusion when Jiang heard about the case of Ye Xiaotian abducting another man's wife. The manager of the Tianfu is making trouble out of nothing, insulting the newly promoted Juren, he should be beaten!"
After Jiang Buzheng finished speaking, he said to the yamen servant, "Go! You don't have to wait until the third quarter of the hour, let them see you."
Wang Haoming was stunned when he heard it, and secretly suspected: "Just let it go so lightly? This is not Jiang Xin's character. What is this old guy thinking?"
※※※
Xie Chuanfeng returned to the Tian Mansion with red and swollen cheeks, covered his face and rushed to his own residence. He didn't want the servants in the mansion to see his embarrassed appearance.
In fact, he also knew that Li Dazhuang intended to use him, but he already wanted to disgust Ye Xiaotian, and the two hit it off.
Xie Chuanfeng originally thought that no matter how Ye Xiaotian argued with him, this kind of thing would become darker and darker. Isn't Ye Xiaotian proud of himself? Let him lose face like this first, maybe the Xia family will feel disgusted when they hear about it, then Ye Xiaotian will be defeated. He abducted his pretty and charming wife whom he had betrothed since he was a child, and he would only be willing to let him have a taste of it. Who knows that this Ye Xiaotian is actually a donkey, he beats him without saying a word, is this also called a scholar
Steward Xie covered his face and was about to go to his own residence to get some medicine to reduce swelling and blood stasis to apply on his face, when he suddenly heard a cold voice: "Xie Chuanfeng!"
Xie Chuanfeng was startled when he heard the voice, turned his head anxiously, and saw a beautiful figure standing gracefully on the steps, wearing a light hat on her head, she couldn't see her face, only her pretty and round white chin , behind her stood two maids.
Xie Chuanfeng knelt down on his knees, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Miss."
He didn't hear footsteps, but a corner of the white skirt had already appeared in front of his eyes, the toe of the boot was hidden, and Tian Miaowen's faint voice came from above his head: "What's the matter with your face?"
Xie Chuanfeng hesitated twice, before he could think of a word, Tian Miaowen sneered: "What are you and Li Qiuchi doing together?"
Xie Chuanfeng was shocked: Oh no! Missy knows it all.
Xie Chuanfeng hastily touched his forehead to the ground, and said, "Miss, forgive me, I know I was wrong!"
Tian Miaowen said indifferently: "After working in charge for a few days, I started to get carried away? Don't forget, you are from the Tian family. If you make such a difficult situation with others, others will think it is just your personal grievance, or is it the instruction of my Tian family. ?”
As soon as Xie Chuanfeng heard something wrong, he couldn't help sifting through the chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, villain..."
With a movement of the white skirt in front of her, that graceful figure had gone away, leaving only Tian Miaowen's cold voice: "Go away, you will no longer be a member of my Tianfu!"
Xie Chuanfeng was shocked, took two steps on his knees, and begged in a low voice: "Miss, please forgive the villain once for the sake of the villain's saddle."
Xie Chuanfeng kowtowed while talking, waited for a while but still did not see Tian Miaowen speaking, looked up, and there was Miss Tian, surrounded by many servants and servants of Tian Mansion, all looked at him with sympathy.
Xie Chuanfeng shouted in despair: "Miss!"
Xie Chuanfeng still didn't give up, he knelt on the ground straight and didn't move, but after a while, Mrs. Han, the housekeeper in Tian's mansion, came to him with a servant, and said to him: "Xie Chuanfeng, Miss miss you is a little bit to our Tian family. Hard work, this is your reward, you go."
Xie Chuanfeng hurriedly said: "Aunt Han, please help me to speak a few words of kindness in front of the eldest lady, but it can make the eldest lady change her mind. Your great kindness and virtue, Xie Chuanfeng, will never be forgotten!"
Aunt Han sighed: "Don't you know Missy's temper? Don't waste your efforts."
The servant put a bundle beside Xie Chuanfeng, and Mrs. Han glanced back, and said to several servants: "Send him out." After saying that, Aunt Han walked away. despair.
Xie Chuanfeng left the Tianfu in a daze, and stood in front of the Tianfu gate for a long time, finally gave up, left slowly with the package on his back, and found a carriage shop. Tian Fu doesn't use him, who else in Guiyang City is willing to use him? The only way out now is to go back to Tongren.
"Ye Xiaotian!"
Xie Chuanfeng was sitting in a shabby room, waiting for the chariots and horses he arranged to return home. Thinking of the instigator who caused him to be kicked out of the Tianfu, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth.
Suddenly, he thought of the package that Miss Tian gave him. The heavy package should contain a lot of gold and silver. Now his future is gone. If the money is richer, he can buy a house and land after returning home and live a moderately prosperous life.
Xie Chuanfeng opened the package, and unexpectedly found that besides a sum of gold and silver, there was actually a letter in the package. Xie Chuanfeng hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, and a trace of joy immediately appeared on his brows. He hurriedly looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. Swallowing the letter in two mouthfuls, a smug smile appeared on his face.
