Chapter 487 Snow Night Murder

Although it was already the night ban, a mule cart was walking through the night, picking the alleys without wooden fences, which was quite stable. ●⌒, the two men riding horses and carts were not talkative, and one of them was holding a reins and carrying an empty mount with them. Only the cold wind rustled on this snowy night. The man who drove the cart said that he had fought against Japanese pirates in Fujian before. Now he wore a hat and his lips were tightly pursed, but he was a little more indescribable than the hippie smile before.

In the mule cart, Shuai Jiamo, covered with a thick quilt, leaned half against the wall. After the effect of the Mafei San medicine passed, the heart-wrenching pain on his wounds and the bumps of the mule cart made his facial features twitch together. Despite this, he was pale and stared at Wang Fulin sitting beside him, as if only this young man sitting next to him could make him feel a little relieved. I don’t know how long it took, but he asked in a low voice: “When did Wang Xiaoguanren enter Beijing?”

"Today." Wang Fulin said two words concisely. Seeing Shuai Jiamo being shocked, he spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't think I'm talking nonsense with you, the injured. I have just finished the Nanjing matter and returned to She County. My uncle, Mr. Zhong Yan, rushed over from the capital, saying that you were in the capital and caused a lot of trouble, and asked me, who was causing trouble at the time, to clean up the mess quickly. So I stayed at home for only a few days, and didn't care that the Huaiyang section of the canal was still blocked. The north of the Shandong section had frozen and came directly from land to Beijing. As a result, I just arrived today. I encountered this situation."

Although when he was strictly protected by Zhao Wuye and other officials in the She County class room, Shuai Jiamo turned a blind eye to the outside world and did not know much about Wang Fulin, he later jumped out of the right and wrong circle of one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou, and devoted himself to uncovering the black hole of She County's tax and service for many years, which was alone in the face of a higher-level figure, and instead heard a lot of things from others.

According to legend, this young scholar from Songmingshan, She County was in the Beixinguan Rebellion in Hangzhou. He stood up with the then Hangzhou prefect, Yu Yuan, to quell the riots. According to legend, Wang Fulin learned about a conspiracy to provoke conflicts between the Hui merchants and the Dongting merchants in Hankou Town, where Hui merchants had an absolute advantage, so that the two sides could temporarily bridge the conflicts. According to legend, Wang Fulin killed a giant thief in Huizhou and sent She County magistrate Ye Junyao to the new position of Huiningdao; according to legend, this person was swept back to Zhenjiang Danpu by Shao Fang, and then escaped easily. He led a good show of Wang's change of ownership in Yangzhou.

As for the things that Wang Fulin had to do on the ground of one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou, he also knew so much. Therefore, he did not doubt Wang Fulin's position. As a young talent among She people, how could he not want to reduce the burden on his fellow villagers? He chose to believe the other party after being seriously injured and left the clinic.

At this moment, realizing that he was in the capital, Wang Daokun, the Minister of War, was right in his hands. Shuai Jiamo couldn't help asking again: "Since Mr. Nanming had known that I had arrived in the capital, why did he keep me out before? When I was running around and asking for advice, he refused to come forward and say something."

Wang Daokun is not just unwilling to come forward to say a word. According to the meaning that Wang Daoguan had reposted before, he clearly wanted to keep suppressing the matter. When Yin Zhengmao was transferred back first, he would firmly take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and then say that it was related to the interests of the party in Sheren Township. In contrast, it didn't matter if Xia Shisiwen was delayed for two years. Just like his thoughts at the beginning, it was not a delay in the situation where Shuai Jiamo had no news at all.

Wang Fulin did not reveal this joint, but pulled the quilt for Shuai Jiamo, who was now haggard, and saw his hands exposed outside were skinny, and he remembered that he had advised him to leave Huizhou and go to Nanjing or even the capital to seek complaints, and he couldn't help but want to ask the truth. But now the other party has fallen into this state, and he doesn't know how to speak. Maybe he saw his hesitation, maybe he has not met someone who can speak up in the past few years, Shuai Jiamo actually started to talk to himself.

"Three years ago, you advised me to leave Huizhou and sued me, so I left with my family. In addition to the 100 taels of silver you gave me, Zhao Bantou and others of the squad also raised fifty taels of money for me. You should know that for ordinary middle-aged people, more than ten taels of silver is enough for a year, but only this one hundred and fifty taels, but I spent all my food, clothing, housing and transportation in more than a year. I dare say that these four things are all carefully calculated and never wasted a penny, but more are used to manage those greedy clerks, and that's it."

Shuai Jiamo suddenly lifted the quilt and exposed his legs. The legs wrapped with blood bandages can still be seen unnatural bends. In those areas where the bandages are not wrapped, there are not complete pieces of good meat, and there are traces of old injuries in many places. Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was full of shock and anger, Shuai Jiamo, who was no longer young, laughed in a voice that was even worse than crying.

"I'm afraid that Wang Xiaoguanren didn't think about it at that time. He left Huizhou. As long as I was still struggling with the matter of Xia Shishi, some people were thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh. Over the past three years, I almost lost my life several times, and even caused trouble to Yan's family. In the end, I had to send them back to my hometown. Every time I asked myself, my ancestral home is not from She County, but because my family had military status in Xin'anwei, I established a career in She County. Why not be thankless in the 14th year of Jiajing? Cheng Peng and Wang Xiang once sued this, but they died before the result was a result. More than a hundred years ago, Lu Zongyuan, a native of She, had sued him, and he died in vain. It was not that he had no discerning people, but that this matter was like a lid covered by someone, with the officials pressing him down, and the people who benefited were also suppressed. Only those who did not believe in evil were hitting their heads and bloodshot."

Wang Fulin used to think that it was not worth making such a storm for a county of thousands of taels of summer tax silk. He also thought that from the founding of the country to the present, summer tax and autumn grain, as a regular tax, has long been no longer the main burden of the people. The real heavy burden lies in all kinds of military expenses and miscellaneous levies. After all, as long as the emperor thinks of any expenses, he can slap his head down. Even if the ministers persuade them again and again, he can block the emperor's lion back for a small part, which is already a stern minister of admonition. But now facing such a person who is covered in wounds and tears, he feels that he is wrong.

Even for fame or profit, it is always respectable to fight for so long. What's more, like the ruins of thousands of taels of summer tax silk in Huizhou Prefecture, are there many other prefectures in the world?

He tried his best to not worry about these things first, and calmed down and asked: "Mr. Shuai almost lost his life today, but do you know if someone is behind the scenes?"

He couldn't control the previous things, but he would definitely not stand by and watch the future things.

"It's all those who are fucking and dogs." Shuai Jiamo sneered indifferently and said lightly, "I haven't been able to open the cover of the only Xia Tax silk in She County for so many years. One of the major reasons is that the households on the government office are controlled by the people of Wuyuan all year round. From the officials to the clerks at the bottom of the school, they will send the tampered things on the way. Over time, they will naturally be a bad debt that no one can find out. Naturally, they are not working in vain. The local lords have proclaimed this and won the admiration of the foolish people in the countryside. As for some scholars who are like litigants, they are willing to be hawks and dogs."

Shuai Jiamo said ruthlessly. Wang Fulin chewed these words, but he also knew that Shuai Jiamo was angry, and the facts might not be the case. But at this time, he did not want to argue with the old man who was too frustrated, so he just covered the quilt again, and then opened the thick cotton car curtain and asked someone who was driving: "How far should I go after all the circles that have been moving for so long?"

"Little officials, because it's night ban now, it's the best way to get rid of some unknown guys. We have the master's name, and there is such a wounded person in the car. Even if we encounter people from the Dongcheng Military Police, you really stop the car and investigate, you don't have to worry. But those sneaky guys are different. After catching the offender, you can beat the boards of 20 or 30. Who can stand it? Besides, you are still carrying two people to fight against the formation. Even if they have a bad mind, they have to wonder whether they have this strength. Under the feet of the emperor, let alone they are just small snakes crossing the river, even if they cross the river, they have to keep it."

However, just as the words were full of confidence were released, I saw a few men in black blocking the road not far away. Even though the man driving had really followed Wang Daokun to kill Japanese pirates in Fujian, the time had passed by almost ten years, and now he was at the most peaceful imperial capital under the feet of the emperor. He only felt that a bucket of ice water was poured from the beginning. For the first time, he didn't quite understand the profound meaning behind such a simple thing. Isn't it just a small matter of Xiashi Silk in She County? Even if there are many people in the other five counties dissatisfied with Shuai Jiamo, the troublesome person, as for causing such a big battle, as for robbing and killing the relatives of the minister at the feet of the emperor, it would be like to cause trouble.

Just as he subconsciously clasped the steel knife on his waist, he heard Wang Fulin's angrily shout from behind: "As long as someone dares to take action first, I will kill you without mercy, and I don't believe it. The old soldiers of Zhejiang Army will lose the battle."

The temporary coachman was immediately surprised. He was not the Zhejiang Army brought out by Qi Jiguang. One of them was mostly boasting, and it was already very difficult to beat two or three. Wang Fulin said this because he wanted the invader to retreat. But at this moment, he saw two riders rushing forward, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the carriage, and he had already drawn his sword. At this moment, he realized that the so-called Zhejiang Army soldier in Wang Fulin said that the two men were still rushing forward when they saw the black shadows. The weapons in his hands reflected cold light under the glazed lamp next to the carriage. He felt his heart raising his throat.

Could it be that there is really a snowy night battle in this capital of the capital
