I can see the book of life and death
Chapter 69: The Power of God
Well, while the whole county was rejoicing, Rui Hai was busy with a serious look on his face.
I listened and asked a few more questions, but this was not the first time he had died prematurely.
Rui Hai has no children, but he still has two daughters.
I gave birth to sons, but many of them died in infancy, and none of them lived past the age of five. On the contrary, my daughters were weak and sickly when they were young, but they grew up stumblingly.
I instinctively suspected that there was something fishy in this, because I had also experienced this kind of situation where everyone in the world was against me.
Ruihai was the head of a county and had won an imperial examination, so he was well-known in the dynasty.
He was born to be blessed by the dragon energy of Daxia, and coupled with his own wealth, it would be quite difficult for ordinary people to hurt him.
For a county chief like him, if he died of illness or overwork, that would be within a reasonable range.
If he dies unexpectedly, it will definitely cause shock in the government and the public, and everyone in the government will be in danger.
This is an unwritten bottom line.
It's just the power of Ruihai. It can protect a county and a township, and it can protect hundreds of thousands of people, but it can't protect your own small family.
I think the overall incident is quite ironic and quite sad.
It's never easy to be a hero.
Rui Hai's two actions were heard by Da Tian, which shocked both the government and the public, and it was rumored that the chief minister favored him.
Rumors spread from time to time that the superiors intended to let Rui Hai go to Yangzhou to take charge of the affairs.
It was first circulated among the officials, and later even spread to the people.
People in Jianyi and Xingguo counties cheered.
I am also secretly happy for Rui Hai.
But something went wrong after all.
When people all over the south of the Yangtze River heard of Ruihai's actions, the government was cleansed, and the capital was delighted, and supervisory envoys were sent to inspect it.
Everyone knows that this is just a process, and the customs in various places in Jiangnan are indeed light.
After the inspector has gone through this process, it should be the time for Rui Hai to rise to the top.
Then, something went wrong.
The supervisory envoy Yan Qinmao traveled to various places, and the county magistrates and prefects in various places gave him a grand reception.
The supervisory envoy has a good reputation and likes fine clothes and fine food.
If you receive grand hospitality from various places, you can also get a correspondingly good evaluation.
He was originally from Jianyi. Hearing that Jianyi had a clean and upright atmosphere, he made a special trip to visit him.
It was supposed to be a formality, but the banquet ended on an unhappy note.
Ruihai doesn't even have many servants, and he personally has always disliked extravagance.
It was just a simple home-cooked meal, a real home-cooked meal.
Take a grass carp from the river, fry it in oil, add hot water, then add the prepared tofu, and cook on the fire for half an hour. The soup is thick white and delicious. It is commonly made by fishermen on the river, and it is more delicious.
Like to eat.
I took another carp and steamed it. Before steaming the carp, I had already removed the ribs from the body, so it was no longer so fishy.
I also took a dish of fish head with chopped peppers from Fulai Inn. The bright red peppers were chopped in advance without oil, and then a few handfuls of salt were added and sealed in a jar. After a few days, the chopped peppers were ready.
When you need to steam fish, take a big-headed fish from the river, whose scientific name is silver carp, take out the chopped pepper and wash it with clean water to remove the salt.
Then add an appropriate amount of minced garlic and sauerkraut in the pot and stir-fry for a while, then evenly spread it on the fish head, place it on the steamer, and steam it carefully for 20 minutes.
If you like spicy food, you can also add a few chopped soaked wild sansho peppers.
There is also fried pork, paired with some wild side dishes.
For ordinary people, this is probably a banquet that is only served on festive occasions, and it is quite cherished by Yu Ruihai.
But for the supervisory office, such simple talk is simply unpalatable and can even be said to be an insult.
In accordance with the supervision instructions, the inspection room is to inspect Jiangsu and Huaihe.
As a result, after walking through Jianyi, he left directly, not touring Jiangzhou, but to Huaizhou.
Soon after, the county magistrate in another place in Jiangzhou was dismissed from his post after being implicated by the imperial censor.
Afterward, I heard several people discuss that that person was also known for his uprightness.
Xue Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, did not say anything, but after hearing the news, he looked a little lonely.
After that man was dismissed from his post, there was no news about Rui Hai being transferred to Yangzhou.
There are rewards for Ruihai above, including a hundred acres of land plus a salary of 20%, including cloth and silver, but there is nothing related to promotion.
Well, why do I know so clearly, because Fulai Inn is owned by my family.
The fish head with chopped pepper was invented by me.
The matter of Rui Hai's promotion is so dirty.
He continued to stay in Xingguo County.
And I deeply realized the difference in officialdom.
As an official, with my ability and means, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat those old coots, they are too good at it.
I can't understand such a thing as Ruihai. I have done some research and found out that the censor has nothing to do with the Wang and Li families in Jianyi, so he didn't mean to cause trouble.
Yan Qinmao's nature is like this. For many years, he has been entertained everywhere he went, but whether he secretly accepted the gifts or not.
Well, another rumor among the Jianyi official circles is that Ruihai once wrote a letter directly to Yan Qinmao, reprimanding him for his extravagance and accepting other people's property at will.
This led to the man directly avoiding Jiangzhou and going to inspect Huaizhou.
Ruihai's head iron has been tested for a long time.
Yan Qinmao didn't want to give it another try, otherwise Rui Hai would write another memorial, bluntly stating that his bribery and extravagance practices were not harmful to him, but they would inevitably have an impact.
I personally tend to guess that Yan Qinmao may have been secretly pushed out by many people to go here.
Sometimes it doesn't need to be complicated to make things difficult for people, it can be done very simply.
Put two people with irreconcilable personalities and different personalities together, and they will naturally create the greatest sparks.
In a sense, Yan Qinmao was Rui Hai's superior, with a higher official position than him. After the collision, it was Rui Hai who was injured of course.
Rui Hai's incident sounded the alarm for me. I have no evidence, but I think all this was promoted by certain figures among the Jiangnan gentry.
Rui Haishu's memorial mentions: "The rich enjoy three to four hundred acres of property, but each household does not receive a cent tax, and the poor households do not receive a grain of income, resulting in a false tax difference of one hundred acres."
This sentence hurt the hearts of many people.
In particular, Ruihai was not only able to see it, but also personally measured the land and returned it to the people after having sufficient evidence.
He has touched the foundation of Jiangnan, and Ruihai will definitely have no future.
Rui Hai's incident reminded me.
I feel like I can't play with them within the rules.
Their family has been in the family for hundreds of years, and they have studied this set of rules to the point where it is difficult for me to understand.
Just like the boxing skills in martial arts can communicate with gods, their power skills can communicate with gods.
As Xiaoqi, the Jinyiwei inherited from my family, if I want to rise to a high enough level to compete with them, according to the normal promotion process, I will never have the chance in this life.
Unless I can expand my territory, I am not qualified to stand on their opposite side and will be easily crushed to death by them.
You can feel progress and growth every time you practice boxing. The path of power and martial arts is different. I don’t understand it very well, but there is a high probability that I will not be able to take this path of power and martial arts.
I think I have to choose another path, and I am ready to practice martial arts seriously.
