Chapter 372 The people reflect
Chapter 372: People's Reflections
The people in the town only knew that there was a high-ranking official coming from the town, but no one knew the purpose of Jiang Lang coming.
In the small teahouse in the town, drinking a cup of herbal tea in the afternoon and bragging about it has almost become the only leisure activity in the town. Now the people in the town have started to talk about Jiang Lang and others.
"Big news, big news!"
A young man suddenly heard the sound of a young man, and then a young man rushed in. Without saying a word, he picked up a cup of tea on the table at the door and drank it clean. Then he raised his hand, raised a finger and said, "Big...Big...Big...Big news!"
"Why do you have any big news? Did you hear from me?"
A guest at the next table teased.
"That's right, that's right, what else would you do if you brag every day?"
Faced with other people's teasing, the young man blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I really have big news this time!"
"Then tell me, what big news is!"
Another guest expressed interest.
When the young man heard someone cheering him up, he suddenly felt energetic and asked mysteriously: "Do you know who the person living in the Liu Family Inn is?"
Someone immediately said disdainfully: "Isn't it just the prefect of Yangzhou? Everyone knows this!"
"The Prime Minister of Yangzhou?"
The young man smiled coldly, slapped the table lightly, and said disdainfully: "Forget it, the prefect of Yangzhou, he is just a follower now!"
"Yo...yo...!"
Someone immediately smiled and said, "You kid is so brave that you are so brave. This Yangzhou prefect is a big deal in your eyes. Be careful to arrest you, lock you up in a prison, and repair your kid well, and tell you to talk nonsense!"
The young man blushed and argued: "I'm not afraid of scaring you to death when I say it. Let me tell you, one of the two people who came with the Yangzhou prefect, one of them was the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice in the current dynasty, and everyone knows the other young man. It was the young man who was in the entrance of the town last time, with a beautiful little wife, who was not afraid of Song Mazi at all!"
"Secretary of the Ministry of Justice?"
As soon as this name was reported, the people who sat there couldn't help but be stunned. However, this was a small town after all, and no one knew how big the minister of the Ministry of Justice was. So someone asked: "What kind of official is this minister of the Ministry of Justice? It's bigger than this prefect?"
The young man couldn't help but spit out and said, "You don't believe it if you don't know anything about it. This Minister of Justice is a Beijing official. From the second rank, this Yangzhou prefect is a grandson in front of others!"
Many people present took a breath. What a second-rank official is that he is.
But someone immediately asked: "What kind of official is that young man with his beautiful wife?"
"I don't know this!"
The young man shook his head and said, "But it seems that the official is not young, it seems that the minister of the Ministry of Justice is respectful to him."
"I see you bragging again!"
Someone immediately retorted, "The ministers of the Ministry of Justice respect him. Could it be that he is the prince or the prince?"
"I didn't brag!"
The young man said anxiously, "This is all told by Manager Liu!"
"Then I ask you, what exactly are they doing this time?"
The young man was silent for a moment and was about to answer when suddenly the sound of the gong at the door was remembered, and someone shouted: "Listen to all villagers, the Song Yuanba family harmed the village and endangered the people. After the court learned about it, he sent the current minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Mi to investigate the case. What are the injustices of all villagers? Tomorrow morning, I will go to Liujia Inn, Lord Mi will avenge you!"
"Listen to all the villagers..."
...
When the people in the inn heard this, they couldn't sit still and ran out in a swarm. They saw two soldiers carrying a Daluo on the street, knocking while walking, and shouting what they had just said, and there were a few soldiers behind them maintaining order.
The young man turned his eyes and shouted loudly: "Let's go..., let's go...!"
While speaking, he squeezed forward hard. When approaching the soldiers, he smiled and asked, "Brother Bing, I'll ask something!"
Perhaps because of the fact that the Song Yuanba came out this time, these soldiers became very polite and asked, "What's the matter?"
The young man immediately said, "It's just that there is a young man with Lord Mi. I don't know who he is?"
"You are talking about Lord Wang!"
Bing Yong immediately said, "That was the county horse of the current dynasty, the factory governor of the East Factory, and the general who was conquered the thorns in the court!"
These soldiers and brave men were brought by Lord Mi from the capital, so he naturally knew Jiang Lang clearly.
"oh?"
The young man nodded and smiled apologized: "I understand, thank you!"
Bingyong smiled slightly, didn't say much, and walked forward.
The onlookers in the teahouse slowly returned to their positions. The soldiers and brave men just heard the calls clearly, so someone discussed: "Is it too much for the imperial court to arrange a minister of the Ministry of Justice to deal with the Song and Yuan tyrants?"
Someone continued, "I think things are definitely not that simple! Think about it, the first thing is that Sun Yuanbiao, the boss of the Sun family, killed a servant of Song Mazi and was arrested by the prefect. He heard that he would be sentenced to death, but not long after, the young man came to our town and openly fought against Song Mazi. Now that others are with Lord Mi, they are probably not a small role!"
"Of course not a small character!"
The young man said proudly, "I might as well tell you that the young man is the county Ma Ye of the current dynasty, the factory governor of the East Factory. A while ago, there was no news that the imperial court defeated the sects? That was his general. Do you think others are a small role? In my opinion, Sun Yuanbiao must be one of his capable subordinates. His subordinates were arrested, so he naturally could not sit idly by, so he came from the capital thousands of miles away to save Sun Yuanbiao."
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Then, then this general is a loyal person?"
"That's!"
The young man nodded and said, "You think, what a great official he is. Just one word of the question can make the prefect let Sun Yuanbiao release, but he came here in person. This shows that he attaches great importance to Sun Yuanbiao. It's time for Song Mazi to be unlucky. Who wouldn't provoke him? He actually provoked the Sun family. Now, he knocked down the nail!"
"He deserves to be unlucky!"
Someone gloated and said, "This Song Mazi is definitely not a good person. He is not a bad person in normal times? He deserves to be unlucky now, which is why these people have let out a rant! We will also go tomorrow morning and sue him well!"
"Are you not afraid of revenge?"
"revenge?"
The man sneered and said, "Now the grasshoppers with the Song family are in the autumn. They can't jump for a few days. Do you think this prefect will help them? He doesn't dare to give him ten courage!"
This statement quickly gained the support of the guests of the entire teahouse, and it can be seen that the Song family is full of complaints in the local area.
Jiang Lang and others didn't know the reaction in the teahouse. After arriving, they used lunch and rested for a while, and then took Zi Ling and Lord Mi to the outside of the town. As for Song Wenxuan, they did not ask him to go with him.
After seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Lang said: "Mr. Mi, does the imperial court have other arrangements this time?"
Lord Mi was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "It's true that I can't hide it from you. This reminds me of what Lord Yu said to me when I left the capital. If Lord Wang asked about it, it means he already knew it, then you can tell him honestly!"
Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Yu is thinking a lot. So what is your mission this time?"
"Investigate taxes and silver in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
Lord Mi said word by word: "Mr. Yu found that the tax and silver in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are quite rich, and the tax and silver are lost at least 30% each year. This time, your subordinate Sun Yuanbiao was arrested. Lord Yu thought this was an opportunity, so he sent me to investigate in the name of this. Of course, he also showed it to the officials to let them relax their vigilance and facilitate us to investigate the case!"
"That's right!"
Jiang Lang nodded and smiled, "I said, Sun Yuanbiao was arrested, how could he work hard for you? There is also articles in his relationship."
