Chapter 600 Centrifugal
"Are you so anxious?"
Lin Xi thought with his eyes and said to himself, "He is a plenipotentiary minister. I have to take care of his face, so I agree."
"yes."
Qi Ji said: "By the way, my husband, there seems to be some abnormal movements in the Xiangzhou Prefecture. The efforts to implement the 'new policy' have been increased recently."
Lin Xi's expression was indifferent, and she continued to walk forward, observing the 'scenery' along the way, and said, "It won't last too long for me to see."
Qi Jin didn't say anything this time because he thought so too.
Lin Xi looked at the fields not far away, and seemed a little abandoned, and the canals were dry, and said, "The plan of the Ministry of Works must be held fast, so it cannot be delayed. How long will the people from the Censorate arrive?"
Qi Jin looked up at the sky and said, "Huang Zhongcheng came out the slowest, so he should have to wait a little longer, but it's almost the same thing that happened in the past few days."
Lin Xi nodded, with his hands behind his back, and his face looked a little tired.
Seeing Lin Xi hunched over, Qi Jin was a little worried and said, "My husband, we have been traveling day and night these days, but we haven't had a good rest. Why don't we take a rest and leave?"
Lin Xi stopped and looked at the farmland in the distance. Before early spring came, it was still a deserted appearance.
He said, "I can't wait. I can't wait. I'll cook it as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Lin Xi was the deputy minister of the Political Affairs Hall and also served as the Minister of Personnel. He was one of the few important officials of the court and must not be left Beijing for too long.
Fuzhou Prefecture, not far from Jianchang Army.
This is the Grand Mansion, second only to Hongzhou Prefecture, and its status on Jiangnan West Road is naturally also important.
Fuzhou Prefecture has four counties under its jurisdiction, with its capital in Linchuan County.
This is humanistic jade, and many famous and famous figures have emerged.
The current magistrate of Fuzhou is Cui Tong. He is a Jinshi in the seventh year of Yuanfeng and is known as a "clever official" in Fuzhou Prefecture.
Because he is very close to Hongzhou Prefecture, he has not set off yet.
Cui Tong was fifty-one years old. He had given up on his career and was obsessed with calligraphy and painting. He had certain achievements in himself. He often held various literary meetings in Fuzhou Prefecture, and his literary reputation was quite famous.
Since He Yi came to Jiangnan West Road, Cui Tong vaguely felt that it was not good. However, He Yi was trapped in Hongzhou Prefecture and could not leave the government orders at all. This made Cui Tong feel much more relieved and continued his past leisure days.
But with He Yi's death, Cui Tong became uneasy again.
After two months of panic and uneasy, the court's anger towards Jiangnan West Road finally vented, and the thunderous wrath was reduced.
Zong Ze, who combined the power of "strategy", "general manager", "governor", and "governor", led 30,000 Huwei Army to Jiangnan West Road!
During this period, Cui Tong has been sending people to Hongzhou Prefecture to investigate the news and want to have a good look at what this singular minister is going to do?
After a lot of life, he had nothing else except for Zong Ze's "summoning order".
I thought that this plenipotentiary minister would make some comforting actions to relieve the worries and anxiety of Jiangnan West Road, but who would have thought that what would come would be a large-scale arrest and confiscation of the house, and they would be all famous and famous gentry members in Hongzhou Prefecture!
Since I got the news, Cui Tong has never said he had a good sleep and had insomnia for two days.
At this moment, he was painting his paintings in the study.
The brushes that used to be extremely smooth are now very awkward. Moreover, Cui Tong dislikes the things he painted, and he has already crushed and thrown away. I don’t know which one of them is now.
A middle-aged man stood at the door, waited for a while, and walked in quietly.
Cui Tong frowned when he heard the footsteps, picked up the paperweight and continued to draw.
The middle-aged man looked at it and said softly: "Main Lord, those magistrates have been waiting for a stick of incense."
Cui Tong became more and more annoyed and said, "They want to go, but they don't want to go, but I didn't force them!"
Cui Tong was also a member of the Hongzhou Prefecture who had not been to "take leave" before. Yesterday, he had already written to Hongzhou Prefecture, saying that he had "healed his illness."
Now, several magistrates under his jurisdiction are sitting on wax and come over specially.
The middle-aged man was Cui Tong's aide. Seeing that Cui Tong was upset and was in a bad mood, he sighed and said, "Main Lord, it is not a way to hide like this. They came here, not whether to go to Hongzhou Prefecture. Instead, the court confiscated dozens of gentry and other major gentry families, including the Chu family, and was worried that it would burn to our Fuzhou Prefecture."
Cui Tong was also worried. Looking at the things under his pen, he felt extremely annoying. He threw down his pen and said with a cold face: "Let's go."
The middle-aged man hurriedly followed him and whispered: "Master, please stop talking later, let's see their attitude first."
"Yes." Cui Tong responded coldly.
He has been in Fuzhou Prefecture for so many years, and although he is not a director, he knows the network of relationships between Fuzhou Prefecture and the true thoughts of these people.
He won't be the one who stands out!
The main hall of the Houya.
The four magistrates of Linchuan County, Chongren County, Yihuang County and Jinxi County were all sitting on chairs, looking at each other, with a calm expression and a rather anxious look.
Before, they were all "sick and took leave" and did not go to Hongzhou Prefecture.
Now, the court has scouted the house without any scruples. They are a little uneasy, worried that the plenipotent minister will settle the score in the future.
None of the four of them spoke, and they waited quietly.
The oldest of these four people is in their fifties, and the youngest is in their thirties. They are either fat and big-eared or noble.
The sound of footsteps came from the side door, and the four of them quickly got up, waited for Cui Tong to come out, raised their hands, and said, "The Lord has met the Mansion Master."
"Sit down," Cui Tong said lightly with a blank expression on his face.
After Cui Tong sat down, the four of them looked at each other and sat down slowly.
"Tell me." Cui Tong took the teacup handed over by the servant, and the expressionless face on his face turned into an order to expel the guest.
When the four of them saw that Cui Tong was unhappy, they didn't care. They pretended to be pondering for a while. The magistrate of Linchuan County, Zuo Tai raised his hand and said, "Master, I heard you are going to Hongzhou Prefecture?"
Cui Tong fiddled with the teacup and said, "The governor is summoned, I dare not go."
Yan Yi, the magistrate of Chongren County, snorted decisively and coldly: "Main Lord, why are you afraid? The governor's yamen confiscated Chu family and others, but because they were bold and arrogant, they besieged the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Party. They asked me to see that they deserve it. But we have always been obedient to the law and have peace under our rule. What should we be afraid of?"
Cui Tong tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Yan Yi coldly.
Xun Jie, the magistrate of Jinxi County, followed and said, "Yes, the reason why Ying Guan and others were arrested was that they did too much. Even the governor and the imperial envoy dared to murder them. They were all the more expensive to die in prison. The court sent a new governor. I see, what they said is, we don't object to what we should live our lives."
“Yes, right, right,”
Xu Zhongkai, the magistrate of Yihuang County, responded and said, "Prince, our Fuzhou Prefecture is different from Hongzhou Prefecture. It is free of illness and disaster. As long as we are united, nothing will happen."
Cui Tong seemed to be out of the matter and watched coldly.
These four people said so much, but they were just asking him to take the lead and fight against the governor's yamen headed by Zong Ze.
