Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

He was probably really dead.

However!

"It hurts, it hurts so much..." Master Bai Lian suddenly began to murmur again!

His heart, abdomen and lungs still did not rise or fall!

In the quiet cave, Master Bai Lian's groaning and roaring echoed.

His roar became more and more emotional! His tone became more and more serious!

His head began to burst, but it recovered quickly!

But his face was completely destroyed, and his whole face was scattered.

His facial features seemed to be joking with each other, and they could not be gathered together at all!

In this way, he gradually lay flat in the cave.

Waiting for a destined person, and giving the other person a surprise by the way.

......

"Shangguan, your subordinates have uprooted the White Lotus followers belonging to Master Bai Lian! Even Master Bai Lian fled in panic." A Jinyiwei knelt on the ground and respectfully reported the matter of arresting the White Lotus followers.

"The leader of the White Lotus traitor has not been found yet?" A thousand households questioned.

"This..." The Jinyiwei flag showed a trace of hesitation: "I am incompetent. When I was following the White Lotus Master, I lost him."

"Lost? Why didn't you lose yourself?" Qianhu stood up and asked sternly.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, all the White Lotus rebels will be executed, leaving a few high-ranking ones to be brought to the capital for trial!" After the Qianhu finished speaking, he walked away.

Only the worried flag was left, not knowing how to explain.

Chapter 111 The unclean county magistrate

A strong man dressed as a servant walked quickly from a house.

The fallen leaves on the ground were lifted up and flew in the air.

"How is the matter going?" A fat man with a big belly asked anxiously.

"This..." The man dressed as a servant hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"This master asked you to come out to do things, not to let you eat dry food! Three days! You must get things done for this master in three days!" The fat man yelled hysterically, and the roar spread throughout the manor.

After the servants left, he sat back on the armchair, breathing heavily, with a look of deep fear in his eyes.

After a while, he strode out of the manor and came to another manor.

The manor was full of weeds, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

"Clean up the things here for me!" He said to the several strong men around him.

The repetitive work was repeated several times in different places.

He returned home to rest for a while, and even the beautiful concubine was not in the mood to pay attention.

He fell on the bed and looked at the sky with lifeless eyes.

His name is Wang Quanfu, a county magistrate in a local county, and an official of neither small nor big.

Generally speaking, the relationship between the county magistrate and the county magistrate is not good, which involves the struggle for power.

But he is different, he is a child raised by the family of the local county magistrate.

He is not an official who came in through the imperial examination. He entered the officialdom through recommendation and climbed step by step to become the county magistrate.

The system of selecting talents in the Ming Dynasty did not rely solely on the imperial examination.

Especially during the early Ming Dynasty.

The three ways of selecting talents, namely imperial examination, recommendation and tribute examination, developed together to become an official in the early Ming Dynasty.

Wang Quanfu was a ruthless man. He grew up eating at other people's homes. Later, he was smart and clever and accepted the support of the county magistrate's family.

He learned the skills of accounting and counting, and was very good at dealing with things, so he was recommended to become a local clerk.

The results of the three-year selection were very good, so he became the local county magistrate.

In name, officials cannot communicate with each other, but in fact they are still very flexible.

There are examples of young people becoming high-ranking officials.

During the founding period of Hongwu, the population was declining, talents were lacking, and it was not difficult to kill corrupt officials and get promoted at a young age.

The same was true in the Yongle Dynasty. After the Jingnan Campaign, it was inevitable that there would be loopholes in the economic and political resources and the jurisdiction of the county governments in various places.

Until later, the imperial examination almost became the first way to select talents in the Ming Dynasty.

The other two ways to become an official were gradually closed, and even the power of those two ways to become an official was gradually recovered by the Ministry of Personnel.

The reason why Wang Quanfu was so panicked was because the truth had been revealed and things were not going well!

It was not because they were well-informed, but because the Jinyiwei's recent activities in their county were very blatant!

This obviously showed that they had some evidence!

Otherwise, when would the Jinyiwei be so arrogant and wandering around the streets!

When evil people speculate about others, they also speculate in the most vicious direction.

Not to mention that he himself was not very clean.

Fortunately, Wang Quanfu did have some skills. When he was greedy for money, he had already thought of a way out.

Now it was enough to just sell and hide assets step by step.

And the Jinyiwei's attention was not on these small officials.

The Jinyiwei was responsible for finding strange items and inquiring about strange things.

And this responsibility also affected the entire Ming Dynasty.

How could they have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of some small officials.

Wang Quanfu lay on the soft bed, still cursing in his heart.

How could this be, are the Jinyiwei so leisurely?

He came to investigate in such a remote place?

Is it easy for him to be an official? It's not easy!

The salary is so little. If they don’t collect some tributes and try to make some money, their county government can’t even afford to support a few hangers-on!

Even so, the court actually sent people to investigate?

The more Wang Quanfu thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

“Forget it! Even if I am arrested, I am not the only one. They are much more anxious than me!”

“Xiao Cui! Come in, this master is very anxious now!”

After a few dozen seconds of pupa, Wang Quanfu felt tired after the excitement.

All kinds of anxious things entangled him, and he hadn’t slept well for several days.

Wang Quanfu, who was drowsy, lay down for a while and fell asleep directly.

Xiao Cui lay beside him, ready to serve the master at any time.

Wang Quanfu’s snoring echoed in the room, harmonious and noisy.

The moonlight kept moving outside the window, like the sound of footsteps coming from the edge of the room after nightfall.

"Kaka~Kaka~"

"It hurts~It hurts~"

"I am God~I am God~"

In the quiet room, the whispering sound is particularly clear!

In addition to the whispering sound, there is also a chaotic sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Fire, I want fire..."

Xiao Cui was awakened instantly when she heard the movement in the room.

It is a basic skill as a maid.

She lit the lamp and slowly walked towards the direction of the movement.

She wanted to determine what was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.

If a mouse entered, she would wake up the master, and there would definitely be no good end in the end.

Xiao Cui checked several rooms and did not find anything that made strange noises.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't wake up the master.

When she returned to the master's room, the room was completely silent.

She was just about to lean on the table and rest for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong!
