Lord of the House

The carriage stopped, the curtains of the carriage were blown open by the wind, and the moonlight was like water, pouring in and falling on Gu Yingxiu's beautiful face as moist as jade, a heart raised in his throat, if anyone finds out about her and Lin Bietong rides in a carriage, and there are a hundred mouths that can't tell the difference. The second son, Lin Xuzong, is so angry that he will definitely not let her and Lin Bie live.

Gu Yingxiu fell into Lin Bing's arms, staring at the curtain of the car door that was blown by the night wind, and asked calmly, "Aunt Zhao, who is blocking the way?"

"Auntie, Seventh Madam, is it me?" Lin Jingchang's voice came in through the curtain of the car.

Gu Yingxiu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his hand to support the soft couch and wanted to change his posture, but caught something like a dead snake. He felt warm through his pants, saving himself from sitting in Lin Bie's arms. One hand rested on Lin Bie's thigh. Gu Yingxiu is not an innocent girl, of course she knows what her subordinates are supporting, her hands panicked, her body was not balanced well, and she bumped into Lin Bie's arms again. His smooth cheeks rubbed against Lin Bing's stinging chin, and he sat aside in a panic. He didn't dare to make any other movement in the carriage, and he had to pretend to be calm and follow Lin Jingchang in front of the carriage. Talk: "Jingchang, what do you have to do with me?"

Lin Bie was in so much pain that he grinned and couldn't make any abnormal sound. Gu Yingxiu looked at the exaggerated expression on his face and felt amused again: Does it really hurt that much? Feeling shy, he still focused his attention outside the carriage.

Lin Jingchang walked to the carriage. He also knew the etiquette, but he avoided speaking to others: "If the Seventh Madam encounters a scholar, he must go as far as he can, and the second son is not so easy to get along with..."

Gu Yingxiu looked at Lin Fie's blurry figure in the dark, and said to Lin Jingchang outside the carriage: "I know, I won't go looking for him now..." There was a carriage coming from behind, Gu Yingxiu thought Lin Tingxun came out of the ancestral hall in a while. If he met him, he would have no excuse to stop him from entering his carriage. He had no time to say anything to Lin Jingchang on the side of the road. He said to his mother Zhao Hu outside, "Aunt Zhao, take me back. Mansion, I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest early."

Naturally, Mrs. Zhao knew that the carriage could not be delayed on the road, so she led the horse towards the mansion in front of her. Gu Yingxiu's personal maid and two healthy women who were accompanying her could have taken the carriage, but now she can only follow the carriage.

Lin Jingchang left in a hurry after seeing the seventh lady's perfunctory words. He thought that Lin Fu's trouble this time was too great to make Mrs. Lin, who has always been taking care of Lin Fu, flinch. Lin Jingchang looked at the background of the carriage in the night and sighed deeply. , Secretly said: Xiucai, Xiucai, you can do more for yourself, even the Seventh Lady can't help you, and she doesn't dare to help you.

****************

Lin Bie was thinking about Lin Jingchang, even if Lin Jingchang was a little timid, after all, he wanted to stay in Shanglindu, and no one could offend the second son. Today, he put a knife on the second son's neck and forced him to kneel in public. Everyone knows the second son. The young master hated himself to the core, but Jingchang still ran over to find the seventh lady and wanted to borrow the seventh lady to remind himself. He sighed in his heart, and secretly said: Let's have the opportunity to be rich in the future.

"You said you, how many people should worry about you?" Gu Yingxiu leaned over and whispered to Lin Bie again, worried that people outside the carriage would hear it. It was impossible not to whisper, but it was just the ambiguity of falling into her arms and holding her thighs with her hands. This moment is like a bright moon in the night sky that can't be hidden in my heart. I can't hold back the cherished thoughts in my heart, but I have to sit next to each other to discuss countermeasures. I bite my ears and say such words, just like the whispers between lovers. , Gu Yingxiu only felt a little hot, trying to make her breathing normal, "I really don't know what you experienced in Baisha County, and now it's too late to listen to you. I think you should have made up your mind to go to Jiangning. , You heard what Xiao Wu said, so don't delay. Don't go back to Zhao Hu's house tonight, hide outside for the night, I will come to Huyan tomorrow, come over and meet me again ."

"Okay, go to the corner ahead and I'll go down quietly." Lin Bie said.

"You really don't care who you saved today?" Gu Yingxiu asked.

"Who?" Lin Fu asked.

Listening to Lin Fu's simple question, Gu Yingxiu could not wait to slap him on the chest and said, "My second uncle was reactivated by the imperial court a few years ago, and he spent a period of time overhauling at the Hanlin Academy, and this time I came to Jiangdong. Served as a deputy inspector. He hadn't been back to his hometown for 20 years, and he took a boat to Hongzepu Waterway to take office. He just wanted to stop at Shiliang for a few days to pay homage to his ancestors. I didn't expect that someone in Jiangdong would not welcome him."

"I guessed he was Gu Wuchen!" Lin Fu said.

"Then you sneaked away without letting my second uncle say thank you?" Gu Yingxiu said angrily, "In the afternoon, the second uncle sent someone to say that he would visit the door in two days to thank him. My second uncle is very polite. Daoist, but I didn't expect you to leave Shanglin on foot tonight."

"He hasn't returned from Shiliang County for 20 years. How does he know that I am under your care, Sister Yingxiu?" Lin Fu thought to himself that Gu Wuchen's ceremonial preaching was limited. Yingxiu said, "Liang Zuoren is full of opinions about the children of the Lin family. Before I saw the assassin in the county, I had a verbal conflict with them. I didn't expect to take credit, and I didn't expect to stay there and find it unpleasant, so I left."

"I don't know how determined the second young master Lin Xuzong is. If he is really determined, only Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu will follow you, I am not at ease; tomorrow I will tell the second uncle to let you go to Jiangning with them - after the assassination, Shiliang County will send troops to **** my second uncle. After you go to Jiangning, you have to be careful."

Lin Fu didn't say that Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu were not the only ones by his side, thinking that it would not be too late to tell her about these things in the future. He didn't know the details of Gu Wuchen's reactivation of the imperial court. In short, Gu Wuchen's appointment to Jiangdong as the deputy commissioner should allow Gu Yingxiu not to be bullied by others in the Lin family. It is no wonder that Lin Tingxun did not show any intention to clean up himself in the mule market. , It turns out that Lin Tingxun also knew that Gu Wuchen was sitting in the tea hotel at noon.

"..." Lin Fu almost blurted out to ask Gu Yingxiu who the girl disguised as a man was, and accidentally grabbed the girl's chest - well, I didn't expect to be young, so it was quite predictable.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Yingxiu looked puzzled at Lin Fie while pinching the edge of his left palm.

"It's nothing," Lin Fu said, "there are some things, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

The road from the ancestral hall to the Lin family's mansion is not long, so I can't say much. At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping in front of me. In the dim night, I saw two fast horses rushing straight forward. Mrs. Zhao and two healthy women hurriedly pulled the carriage over Avoiding it, Gu Yingxiu's maids rolled into the ditch in fright. Seeing the fast horse rubbing the carriage and passing by, the horse neighed in horror and scolded the strong woman who was accustomed to the majesty next to Gu Yingxiu.

Gu Yingxiu was also startled, and felt that Lin Fu lightly shook her hand and whispered, "I'm going down." Lin Fu got off the carriage while others didn't care. Gu Yingxiu still had Yu Wen to give him a light grip, and thought to herself: You are so bold, even the old lady's hand dares to touch it! He lifted the curtain of the car to a corner, and watched Lin Fu walk into the distance like a ghost against the shadow of the courtyard wall.

****************

Seeing a figure in the distance, Zhao Hu greeted him, saw Lin Fu, and asked, "Have you seen the Seventh Madam?"

"I see," Lin Fu said, "Where's Master Zhou?"

"We're here?" Zhou Pu and Wu Qi were hiding in the bushes, and they saw them walking out with a horse with a thin wooden stick in its mouth and a rope around the horse's neck, so that the horse wouldn't neigh. .

"Let's go tonight?" Zhou Pu asked.

"One more day, do you know who the assassins in Shiliang County are today?" Lin Fu said.

"Who is it?" Zhou Pu asked.

"It's Gu Wuchen who the assassin said should be so ashamed that he should jump into the river," Lin Fu said. Zhou Pu didn't know the origin of the Gu family, so he said to him, "Jiangdong Deputy Commissioner of the Inspectorate, Zuoqiu Censor of the Duchayuan... "

"It turned out to be a big man," Zhou Pu asked. "Why did he eat at the tea hotel with the magistrate of Shiliang County?"

"This Liang Zuoren is also an unwilling person. He was elected in the same year as Gu Wuchen and became a good friend. However, Liang Zuoren took the jinshi examination for nine years before he was sent to Shiliang County to become a magistrate. Gu Wuchen was on his way to Jiangning to take office. It's not surprising to go around Shiliang County by water and go home to worship ancestors~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and meet Liang Zuoren."

"It's really lively. Who wants to assassinate him and prevent him from going to Jiangning?" Zhou Pu asked.

"Who knows? The water here won't be shallow." Lin Fu said, "We'll find a place to hide for the night tonight. I'll go to Huyan tomorrow to see this Master Gu. It's good for us."

Zhou Pu nodded, it was definitely a good thing to know Jiang Dong's deputy inspector.

****************

This dynasty set up prefectures and counties at the local level, and there was no clear concept at the provincial level. Above the prefecture, the Ministry of Propaganda and Envoys is in charge of civil affairs in one place, the Division of Procuratorial Envoys is in charge of prosecution and prisons and at the same time supervises local officials, and the Admiral's Office is placed in charge of military command of the towns within the jurisdiction. One government is in charge. Only in a few places, either to resist foreign aggression, to suppress people's actions, or to quell rebellions, the imperial court will set up the position of governor to command local military and political power. The governor-general is not permanent in the locality, and the officials appointed are all envoys sent by the imperial court. There is no fixed term of office.

According to the Office of the Inspector, the Inspector and the Deputy Commissioner are set up, respectively, with the official titles of the third grade and the fourth grade. In addition to being in charge of local prosecutions and prisons, the Chief Procurator also serves as a supervisory agency dispatched to the local area by the Central Metropolitan Procuratorate and undertakes the duties of supervising local officials. The official title of the Imperial Censor of the Capital Court. The deputy envoy of the inspector was only a fourth-rank civil servant. It seemed that the rank was not high. Because he had the authority to supervise local officials and listen to the heavens, he was actually regarded as a local official who was only slightly inferior to the minister of Xuanfu, the admiral, and the emissary.

According to Lin Fu's understanding, Gu Wuchen is almost equivalent to the later deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee and a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
