The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 198 Great Cause Part 4

The three cities outside the pass are so tossed, and the loss rate of officials is so high, especially in addition to accusing Lin Jing of corruption, some of them were killed easily, and there must be a reason to die.Not all the people in the court are dead. In fact, apart from fighting each other, the gang in the court are also politically acumen.Immediately, some people noticed that there was too much movement in the three cities outside the customs, especially Xie Guogong, who had just resumed the transportation of benefits outside the customs. Not to mention that all the channels of benefits were cut off, many of Xie's business were swallowed up directly.

Xie Guogong sensed that there must be something big happening outside the customs.

Xie Guogong immediately asked the imperial court to send an imperial envoy to go there. The imperial envoy went three times, but he couldn't find out why.The governor of Guanwai Shi also said that everything is normal, except that there are more bandits and some officials don't act, everything else is fine.

As for Xie Guogong's statement that the business of merchants outside the customs was deliberately suppressed, there is no evidence.As for the private letter from the Kong family to Governor Shi, Governor Shi also responded with the same set.For the imperial court, it is not appropriate to turn their faces now, Lin Jing is willing to spend money to manage it.Anyway, now that he has found two gold and silver mines, he really doesn't have to worry about running out of money.Besides, according to Shui Li, gold is expensive and silver is cheap in Japanese overseas countries, Lin Jing also asked Shui Li to get a lot of gold to exchange for silver, because the bottom line is large, and the profit is quite considerable.

The gang in the imperial court belonged to Pixiu, they were insatiable greedy, as long as they were well prepared, they would never fart.

However, it is not only the imperial court who always pay attention to the outside of the customs, but also Lin Yi.

This kind of movement outside the customs, or other people are only considering their own interests, but Lin Yi has a faint sense of ominousness, because, in the past six months, civil and military officials in the three cities outside the customs have lost more than [-]%, and it is very likely that this [-]% is only Amount that has to be reported.What is the reason for such a big commotion in the official circles of the three cities outside the pass?

Lin Yi and Shu Jingyun deduced it for more than half a month, and both of them firmly believed that there must be a big event in the official circles of the three cities outside the pass!

At first, neither of them thought that it was Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan who brought the remnant soldiers back outside the customs. At first, both of them suspected that Governor Longchengshi was doing something.

But Governor Shi, the governor in the pass did not grab him, and he left the relationship with the Kong family to become the governor of Longcheng.I don't need to mention other things about the Kong family, but there is no need to doubt their loyalty to the imperial court. Moreover, as for Kong Guogong, even if Kong Guogong was asked to go to Longcheng to be the governor in person, he probably would not have the courage.

Recently, the officialdom outside the customs is really too weird. Lin Yi is a close minister of His Majesty, so he proposed to call Governor Shi back to the court to pay his respects.

Chen Qibao also had the same meaning, so he had to ask in person to rest assured.

In this season when the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River has just been put down, I really didn't expect that at this moment, the great cause of rebellion outside the customs is in full swing and vigorous.Governor Shi was dumbfounded when he received the imperial decree, and hurried to ask Lin Jing for help, fearing that the imperial court had other plans to send him back, and wanted him to return to the imperial capital for trial or something.

Governor Shi felt that the end of the world was nothing more than that.

"If the imperial court thinks you are guilty, it will not be just an imperial decree. The imperial court will first select a new governor to replace you, and the new governor will bring at least one army to prevent you from disobeying the imperial edict. I can directly take you down! Now you can still come to me to discuss countermeasures, why not worry?" Governor Shi is a fan of the authorities, but Lin Jing hit the nail on the head and said, "Just don't worry! Just do what we did before. That said, push all these people to the Guanwaijun pension case! Guarantee that not only will you be fine, you may even be promoted.”

This was what Lin Jing had thought up at the beginning. The army outside the Guan was completely lost in the battle to conquer the South, and the imperial court did not deduct the pension. However, the money came out of the imperial court. Those who were taken over by these people up and down and divided into the hands of each family member could have one or two out of ten, and it had to be counted as the kindness of the local county.

Lin Jing killed such people, naturally there must be a reason for the crime, so he asked Governor Shi to report to the court for this reason, Lin Jing and Governor Shi said, "This matter of embezzling money must make a big fuss. From the bottom up, layer by layer, the adults should report the truth to His Majesty. Your Majesty always likes loyal and capable people."

Governor Shi asked Lin Jing, "General Lin, in your opinion, can I come back alive?"

Lin Jing couldn't hold back, and laughed, "What is the Governor thinking? You may be reused by His Majesty. However, once your case is revealed, the people who have offended you will go to sea. If Your Majesty wants to transfer you to the central government, there will be someone to stop you." Our Majesty has always wanted people to sacrifice their lives, but you really sacrificed your life, as for him, either because of this or that, he is not even willing to pay more for funeral money." He said, Lin Jing looked at Governor Shi, "If His Majesty transfers you back to the high-ranking officials of the court, I will put Shiro back and let you father and son reunite. There is no need to mention those things in the past. My lord, just be loyal to Your Majesty."

"How deserved it is." Governor Shi said hastily, "Ah Jing, I don't know people who are not trustworthy."

Lin Jing smiled, "If Your Majesty has such courage, it would be a good way for you to be loyal to the court. Why bring you to our treasonous situation?"

Lin Jingdao, "This time when you return to the imperial capital, the Governor-General just opened up the plan. If you stay in the imperial capital, my words will count."

Governor Shi said a lot of words of loyalty, but his heart was a little flustered. If he could take this opportunity to return to the imperial capital, he would avoid being at the mercy of the devil.The second is that if he can stay in the imperial capital, no matter what this Lin surname intends, it will always be safer in the imperial capital.

Governor Shi thought for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, although the imperial capital is supported by the Duke's family..."

He only said half a sentence before Lin Jing said, "It's not that the governor doesn't know that I've left the clan. I'll say what I said first. If the governor reveals my rumors, I won't be so easy to talk about."

Governor Shi didn't believe the Lin brothers' double reeds, and said, "Ah Jing, haven't you told Lin Guogong about your life? He should be so worried!"

Lin Jing said indifferently, "I don't know how worried he is, but isn't Gao Fan still alive? Just like the Governor-General's affection for Shiro and his son, the Governor-General wanted to go to the imperial capital first, so as to stay away from me, and then put Shiro in his place. Where is it? If I repent at the time and don’t trust him, wouldn’t Shiro be the proton that the governor placed with me? The relationship between father and son is the same, but what about the relationship between brothers?”

Lin Jing's words are very embarrassing.Fortunately, Governor Shi has a docile temperament. Seeing that the matter of wanting to use Mr. Lin Guogong was in vain, Governor Shi smoothed things over and said, "Ah Jing, why do you do this? You can't say it. Mr. Lin Guogong has difficulties."

"I don't want to know whether others have difficulties, and I don't need any help from others. I will get what I want."

Governor Shi left in a flustered manner.

Tu Xiaosan said, "I don't think this old boy seems to be a kind person."

Lin Jing snorted, "Let him go to the imperial capital to get a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he will come back naturally!"

Tu Xiaosan said, "I always feel that this person is unreliable."

"He knows the current affairs. What's more, his family is still in Longcheng, and Shi Silang is in our hands. Even if he has any tricks, he doesn't dare to reveal our affairs." Lin Jing said, "Right now we have There is no one who can be the governor, otherwise, why use this traitor." To even want to borrow the power of the Lin family is quite ambitious!

Tu Xiaosan said, "You said that such a sincere person as Shiro, how can he have such a father! What a father!"

Hearing the word Tu Xiaosan created, Lin Jing couldn't help but be amused.

As for Governor Shi, Tu Xiaosan has already released several reliable people. Lin Jing wants to let Governor Shi go and try, and ask Governor Shi to come back as soon as he touches the south wall.But Tu Xiaosan has a long-term mind after learning about Gao Fan, and he is not as kind as Brother Ah Jing, Tu Xiaosan has already ordered those people, if the surname Shi has the intention of betraying, they will be killed immediately!

Tu Xiaosan doesn't mind killing people now, even if he is a governor of a locality, a senior official of the second rank, Tu Xiaosan doesn't have any psychological pressure to kill him.It's just that Tu Xiaosan didn't mind killing people, but Governor Shi didn't give Tu Xiaosan a chance, because after returning to the court, the Guanwai Army's pension case naturally caused an uproar in the court, but the runs that Governor Shi suffered because of it were even more insignificant. mentioned.His Majesty appreciates Governor Shi's character very much, but Governor Shi suddenly made a big move, let alone thanking the family from the household department, even Kong Guogong also complained that Governor Shi said hello in advance and then released this big move.

Therefore, Governor Shi was in the dynasty, except for hitting a wall.

As for Governor Shi's thoughts, stay in the imperial capital for a while, where can he go for activities, he hit a wall, his face is swollen!

When Governor Shi returned to the pass with a dejected face, thinking of the uselessness he suffered in the imperial capital, he really gritted his teeth and felt: Why not follow Lin Jing and Li Yiyong (Tu Xiaosan) and the gang of bandits!
