Huang Senping led his horse out of Jinjiang City, paused for a while outside the city gate, turned around and looked at the city gate, and when he saw no one was following him, he got on his horse and left.
Qin Song walked in the crowd, suddenly raised his hand, and then helped the government servant who was about to fall: "Don't drink too much, you must be drunk now."
Putting the yamen servant at the end of the alley and covering his head with a curtain, Qin Song turned and left.
When the yamen servant suddenly woke up, he could no longer remember what had happened. When he thought that Qin Tong would be punished if he was lost, he simply lied and said that the man left the city on horseback and thought he was from out of town.
Qin Xin didn't care, he was just an inconspicuous person.
Hui'an County, county government.
The county magistrate Feng Yuanli looked at the silent magistrate Shi Ruji and said with a smile: "Originally we were worried that the man named Gu would attack us, but who would have thought? He was just a flash in the pan, and his power was gone in the blink of an eye. We also It’s a lucky escape.”
Shi Ruji nodded heavily.
Gu Zhengchen lost his power, which was a good thing for everyone.
But at that time, Ruji was a little preoccupied and said solemnly: "Gu Zhifu has lost power. Who has the final say in the government office now?"
Feng Yuanli frowned: "Of course it is Qin Xin and Wu Kang who have the final say."
Chief Secretary Wei Zhang and Dian Shi Huang Xue looked at each other and felt Shi Ruji's worry.
You must know that Shi Ruji has been able to wander around Hui'an County all these years because of his foster father Tang Xian. Although the government office is no longer under Gu Zhengchen's control, Tang Xian is dead after all.
Shi Ruji didn't care about the death of his adoptive father Tang Xian. He recognized that his father was not his real father, so he died as soon as he died. But the problem is, Shi Ruji can lose his biological father, but he cannot lose his godfather.
Now that Tang Xian's tree has fallen, he has to find another tree to hang the rope on.
Who to look for?
It's hard to find connections in Qin Xin's place. Although he is greedy, after all, he hasn't knelt down in the past few years. If he suddenly runs over, people may not accept it. Wu Kang is a suitable candidate, but Wu Kang was almost sent to prison by Gu Zhengchen before. Although he is saved now, he is not the government's palm print officer.
Shi Ruji rubbed his eyebrows and said: "If there is no one to take care of the government office, with the things we have done, we will be imprisoned in less than half a year. So, Huang Xue will bring a gift to the government office and give it to him." To Qin Xin and Wu Kang."..??m
Huang Xue was a little worried: "If we send both of them, I'm afraid it will cost a lot..."
At that time, you had no other choice but to give away the greedy money to save your life.
After Huang Xue took away a batch of gifts, Shi Ruji returned to the bedroom. After confirming that no one was outside, he moved the cabinet at the end of the bed, took out a floor tile, and took out the wooden box inside.
After taking the wooden box to the table, Shi Ruji sat down and sighed twice, then opened the wooden box and reached out to get the account book.
The hand touched the bottom, and the nails scraped against the wooden board.
Shi Ruji was stunned for a moment, pulled the wooden box in front of him, looked down, and saw a cold air rising from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai.
Where is my little notebook?
When Rujiu's hands began to tremble, not a single piece of paper was missing from the empty wooden box!
This cannot be lost.
There are too many shady secrets recorded in it. Once left outside, there will be many people who want to kill themselves.
Shi Ruji hurriedly ran to the floor tiles to look, but there was no account book inside.
It's over.
Completely finished.
At that time, you felt like the sky was falling.
The purpose of writing account books is not to know where the money goes, but to check and balance those high officials. As long as you receive money and receive benefits, you should take more care of them.
We are all grasshoppers on a rope. If I die, you will have to drag my body with the rope to death. If you don't want to die together, you can't let anything happen to you.
Well now, the account book is gone!
Not to mention that there is no way to record the amount of money spent tonight in the notebook, and I might even be recorded in the notebook. What makes Shi Ruji feel most uneasy is who took the account books and when they were taken away!
Shi Ruji controlled the county government very strictly on weekdays and did not allow anyone to know the county house without asking for instructions. Even if they wanted to speak and give gifts, they could only do so in the second hall. It is impossible for the county magistrate, chief registrar and others to enter. They have been with you for many years and cannot do such a thing.
Who could that be?
Shi Ruji recalled bit by bit who had been in the county office recently and who had entered the magistrate's house.
I remembered.
Wu Kang has been here, Zhou Yuan has been here, and a little further ahead, Tang Xian and Zhang Jiujing have also been here.
It was impossible for Tang Xian and Zhang Jiujing. They were busy dealing with Tang Hu's affairs at that time, so they had no idea to take action.
Zhou Yuan didn't have this chance either. He brought the sergeant here, and after saying a few words, he went to sleep outside the city.
Do you know Wu Kang and Wu Tong?
Shi Ruji thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. This guy was stared at by Zhang Pei, and it was not easy for him to escape even if he had some free time. Later, when the pirates broke out, Wu Kang no longer lived in the county government office, and he had no chance to take action.
Who else could it be?
Shi Ruji frowned, suddenly thought of something, stood up suddenly, and the chair was brought down to the ground.
"Zhang Pei!"
At that time, you were filled with fear.
The only person who entered the county government office who might be targeting him was Zhang Pei next to Gu Zhengchen! Zhang Pei seems to have been keeping an eye on Wu Kang, but he is not without a chance!
Wu Kang left late at night and discussed with Zhou Yuan the countermeasures for the pirates to cause trouble in Quanzhou Prefecture. The next day, Gu Zhengchen left Jinjiang City and ran to Hui'an. Thinking about it carefully, this was not because Gu Zhengchen left because he was worried about the people of Hui'an. Very soon Perhaps after getting the news, he hurried to Hui'an, and then Gu Zhengchen entered Zhou Yuan's temporary camp and forced Zhou Yuan to stop.
When Wu Kang left for the second time, it was when the county government got Zhang Pei drunk! Shi Ruji clearly remembered that he was discussing countermeasures with others in the second hall and did not go back to the bedroom at night. When he returned to the room, it was almost dawn, and his wife woke up and rubbed her neck, saying she had a stiff neck.
Now that I think about it, Zhang Pei must have been here, knocked his wife unconscious, found the secret compartment and took away the account book!
Your hands trembled slightly.
If the account books really fell into Zhang Pei's hands, it would be equivalent to falling into the hands of Gu Zhengchen, and there would probably be many people who died because of the account books.
There was another doubtful point that Shi Ruji couldn't figure out. If Zhang Pei really took the account book, why didn't Gu Zhengchen take it out? Before he jailed Tang Xian and others, he could have produced this account book as evidence, but he did not do so.
There has never been any news about the account books in the government office, and Gu Zhengchen has not taken any further action. It seems that the account books are not necessarily in his hands.
Shi Rujiu looked pale.
No matter who takes the account book, once the account book appears, there will be no good end for him.
You can't talk about this kind of thing. If you go and tell Qin Xin and Wu Kang that you recorded how much money they received in a notebook, and now that the notebook is gone, they will probably kill you on the spot...
Shi Ruji thought about it again and again, and decided to make another fortune to make up for the loss of gifts. By the way, he wrote a letter to the Shipping Department to keep in touch with him.
Quanzhou Wei.
All the sergeants lined up in the training field. The commanding officer Zhou Yuan stood in front of the sergeants, followed by a group of thousands and hundreds of households, and solemnly saluted the newly appointed commander Huang Senping.
Huang Senping stood on the high platform, ordered someone to read out the imperial appointment document, and then shouted loudly: "I, Huang Senping, have been greatly favored by the emperor. I am the commander of the Quanzhou Guard and am in charge of the Quanzhou Guard's sergeants, training, operations, logistics, criminal names, etc." In all matters, I hope you will be united and serve the imperial court wholeheartedly."
Zhou Yuan smiled very ugly.
The imperial court threw in a commanding officer out of thin air. His official position was higher than his own. In other words, from the day he took office, he was no longer the highest officer of the Quanzhou Guard. The person who gave orders became a person who bowed his head and obeyed orders. What a feeling. It's really uncomfortable.
Huang Senping didn't light a fire when he came up. When he arrived at Quanzhou Guard, he hadn't found a few sticks of firewood yet. Even if he tried to light three fires, he couldn't light a single fire.
Build relationships first and get to know your colleagues before getting down to business.
Huang Senping is a native of Quanzhou, a good talker, and has organizational skills. He called a group of colleagues to drink that night.
The commander-in-chief Zhou Yuan, Qianhu Caiye, Qu Huan, Yu Siye, Wuju, etc., and Baihu Huang Bannian, Lin Baifan, etc. naturally did not dare to refuse and came one after another.
They are all rough people, and their words are all in the wine.
Huang Senping didn't put on airs, he got acquainted with a group of generals and served them drinks one after another.
"Commander Zhou, I heard that you have made many military exploits and you are a great warrior. You must drink this glass of wine!"
"You killed the pirates back then, you were so majestic. Drink!"
"With your talents, you will definitely be promoted to a higher level one day, drink!"
"If you want wealth and honor, don't forget each other. Drink!"
"Do you want to show your brother some face? Drink!"
Huang Senping persuaded Zhou Yuan to drink, but Zhou Yuan had to drink even if he didn't want to. When he got to the back, he drank directly and was carried back. Huang Senping grinned and continued to look at Cai Ye: "This burly Qianhu is so stupid!"
"Why, Commander Zhou has already drank, and you don't drink? Are you not giving me face, or are you slapping Commander Zhou in the face? Let's raise a glass! You won't come home until you're drunk!"
Round after round, the dishes were not touched much, and twenty jars of wine were poured out.
When each of the generals became drunk, Huang Senping smiled and retreated to the side room, and the hall suddenly became lively.
Huang Senping bent over, stuck out his butt, and peered at the crack of the door.
This pig who scolded himself didn’t know who had stolen it, so he had to step forward quickly to prevent it from getting into someone’s belly. It's not fun to scold you. When my friend looked at you and lent you three cents, you didn't pay him back for three years.
Cai Ye got even fiercer, slapping the table and yelling at Gu Zhengchen: "This guy is the culprit. So many of our brothers have disappeared, and it's all his fault!"
"Yes, why would there be so many things if he didn't come to Quanzhou Mansion!"
Wu Ju agreed.
Huang Senping watched everyone denounce him, saying that Gu Zhengchen was a fool, a fool, and someone who did not know his own abilities. These people were really brave enough. If they knew, he would have to listen to what Gu Zhengchen would think.
"What a terrifying Prefect Gu."
Huang Senping thought secretly in his heart.
It was obvious that Gu Zhengchen could control the Quanzhou Guard even if he did not come to the Quanzhou Guard. After all, the decree was not given to him alone.
But Gu Zhengchen didn't do this. He was like a king of the mountain in the posture of a tiger. He didn't roar, and didn't even show his fangs. He just stared at the monsters and monsters in Quanzhou Prefecture...
