Chapter 824 Terrifying News

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Songjiang, especially everyone in Huating, has always regarded the Xu family as their top priority.  In addition, they were all drunk, and when they heard Xu Fan's shouts, they surrounded the two messy officials.

    "Stop! Don't come forward!"

    "Don't come close!"

    The officials brought by the two men quickly drew their weapons and shouted at the drunkards to retreat.

    The cold icy rain slapped randomly on the face, Niu Qianshi and Inspector Lin's official robes were wetted, and their faces were livid. They cursed secretly that the Xu family was really lawless and dared to besiege the imperial envoy in broad daylight.

    "What are you going to do? Both of you are imperial envoys from the imperial court. Are you going to rebel?!" The two of them were about to dare to attack, but Songjiang Magistrate Zhong Zhenji got ahead of them and started scolding them fiercely.

    ¡°Hurry and get back from me, and then take a step forward, and I will punish them all for treason!¡±

    "Don't you dare not listen to what Mr. Fu Zun said?" Zheng Yue, the magistrate of Huating County, also quickly stood up and cursed the people who gathered around him: "Xu Ping, Xu Ming, Xu Nianzu get out of here if you don't.  Get out!"

    As he spoke, he kicked the drunkards soberly.

    The county magistrate who broke up the family and Ling Yin who exterminated the family took turns to fight, and finally suppressed these guys who only knew about the Xu family and didn't know about the imperial court.  But they still looked at Xu Fan and refused to retreat.

    "You guys, please get out of here. Don't mess around here." Xu Fan calmed down now. Does he have the capital to rebel?  Obviously not.

    Hearing the uncle of the Xu family, the filial sons and grandsons of the Xu family dispersed one after another.

    "Two adults, I will send you away." Zhong Zhenji was afraid that there would be more trouble, so he and Zheng Yue protected Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunjian and left the Tuisi Garden.

    When they came outside and took a look, sure enough, their sedan chair had been smashed to pieces by the Xu family, and the bearers were lying staggered on the ground.

    "This is so outrageous!" Zhong Zhenji stamped his feet angrily, wiped the rain off his face, and shouted: "Bring my official sedan over here quickly!"

    ¡°And mine too!¡± Zheng Yue also yelled.

    In a blink of an eye, two sedans, one blue and one green, were carried over, and they asked the two adults to get on the sedan.  He walked with an umbrella and escorted Niu Qianshi and Lin Xunjian to the official ship pier.

    Fortunately, the official ship was safe and sound, and the two sent the two adults aboard.

    Entering the cabin, Zhong Zhenji once again apologized deeply for what happened today.

    "That's all." Niu Qianshi asked someone to bring cotton towels to the two local officials. He waved his hands and sighed: "It's your misfortune to have such a bad guy in the stall."

    "Alas, who says it's not the case?" Zhong Zhenji said with a bitter face: "Not to mention Magistrate Zheng, even I, a dignified fourth-grade magistrate, am just an errand boy in the eyes of the Xu family."

    "Is there a prefect who is more useless than me in the world?" Zhongzhifu wiped the water from the corners of his eyes and lamented:

    "But there is no way. The tax money that Songjiang Mansion pays to Nanhubu every year is withdrawn directly from Xu Mansion. It pissed off the Xu family and could not collect even a penny of tax. For the sake of the imperial court, the lower officials had no choice but to compromise.  .¡±

    "It's not easy." Niu Qianshi and Lin Pingzhi felt the same way. They were both colleagues who trembled under the Xu family's power.

    "Now that we have talked about it, can you two tell us the truth? Why are you here today?" Zhong Zhenjiba looked at the two of them and said, "At this time of crisis, I hope we can work together and help our brothers."

    "That's natural. If we don't save ourselves, we will really be doomed." Niu Qianshi nodded and rubbed his trembling cheeks with both hands.

    "Actually, it's not a secret. You will hear the news in a few days." Lin Pingzhi said in a low voice: "The new governor Yingtian has been decided."

    "Ah, so fast?" Zhong Zhenji couldn't help but shrink his pupils. The efficiency of the court's work is directly proportional to the degree of attention it pays.  Such terrifying efficiency can only show that the imperial court is extremely concerned about the changes that occur within his jurisdiction.

    "Who is it? Who scared you two like this?" He asked bluntly, not caring about the words.

    "It's Haigong of Haigangfeng." Niu Qianshi's cheeks could not help but tremble again.

    Lin Pingzhi also chattered his teeth and said: "Isn't the imperial court so angry that it can let King Haiyan be the governor of Yingtian?"

    "Ah, Hai Rui?" Zhong Zhenji jumped up from his chair and said in a voiceless voice: "Didn't the imperial court have a tacit agreement not to use Hai Rui lightly? Are they trying to drive everyone away?!"

    "Who made the Xu family disobey the rules and gave the court an excuse to close the door and let Hai Rui go?" Niu Qianshi held his head, his face full of despair.

    "Is it too late for me to become an official now?" Zhong Zhenji actually wailed, without the grace of a fourth-grade official.?

    "It's definitely too late. If you want to leave, you have to wait until Haigang Peak has finished interrogating you. Then we will see whether you are sent to the army or exiled." Niu Qianshi was not gloating at all, but said with real fear:

    "Hai Gong really wants to get to the bottom of it. I'm afraid that Lin Anyuan and I will not be able to escape the relationship. Now we have to completely cut off the Xu family. Otherwise, if we let these broomsticks get involved again, there will be no chance of survival."

    "Sigh, I wonder how useful the performance of the two of us today will be?" Lin Pingzhi was almost worried to death. If Lin Run hadn't been in trouble, he would have already left for Beijing by now.

    This is a good time, not to mention leaving office is far away, and we still have to wait for the trial of the sea warriors.

    " Only then did Zheng Yue know why Niu and Lin had acted in that scene before. But after all, he had just entered the official career and didn't quite understand the power of Haigong.  Finally, the three adults couldn't help but asked: "Then Mr. Hai, is he really that scary?"

    "Of course it's scary!" The three of them said in unison: "If you don't believe me, wait until the news spreads and see what Jiangnan will become!"

    "Oh." Zheng Yue was a little curious.  He and Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Shanghai, took office immediately. They had only been in Huating for three months and had not participated in anything yet, so there was nothing to worry about.

    Of course, it¡¯s not a big deal to watch the excitement.

    ??~~

    Strong winds brought down heavy rain, blowing the lanterns and colorful buildings in Huating County to pieces.  The array of chrysanthemums at the entrance of Tuisi Garden was also washed away by the rain.

    Many flower pots overturned and many chrysanthemums fell, making the carefully spelled character "Shou" look like a pale and pale character "Dian".

    The Tuisi Garden is even more chaotic. The reed canopy can block the wind but not the rain. It rains as much as it rains outside.  The guests who came to celebrate the birthday were soaked in water.

    In the cold winter of October, everyone was shivering from the cold and fled out of the reed shed one after another, leaving a mess on the ground and the birds and animals scattered in all directions.

    Those distinguished guests from out of town could not leave immediately, so they could only stay in Wanhe Songfeng Hall, watching the doctors coming into the inner room to treat Mr. Xu Ge, and asking each other in low voices what happened.  ?

    How come in just half a year, Mr. Xu Ge went from being the benefactor of hundreds of officials to being the public enemy of Suzhou officials?

    Is this the annihilation of humanity or the loss of morality?

    ps. There is still half of the next chapter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
