Chapter 1564: Ice and Fire 2 Heavens
With so many officials captured suddenly in Beijing, Zhao Prison was quickly filled, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei had to start borrowing the prison from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Lu Wenzhao knew the way inside the prison very well, and he was not at all worried about letting the Ministry of Criminal Justice People come to guard these prisoners. If they are allowed to deal with them, who knows when these prisoners will commit suicide.
So he asked Shen Long to send some evil eunuchs to help guard the prison, and all the prison guards were replaced with reliable manpower borrowed from Tengxiang's four guards. If anyone wants to report news or kill people to silence them, it is not so so now easy.
Most of the officials who abandoned their jobs and fled were also arrested and brought to justice. It didn’t take much effort for them. Once verified, Jin Yiwei would immediately ransack their homes; People who fled the battle naturally didn't like it very much, and immediately ordered people to escort them back to their place of origin after the house raid was completed.
Shen Lian was also ordered to escort a group of officials whose hometowns were not far from the capital to return to their original places. After packing up, he took a small team of people to escort these people out of Beijing and return to their hometowns. As soon as he came out of the city gate, he saw a group of officials in front of him. The leader of the team is Li Fusheng, the eunuch who had dealt with before.
"Oh, isn't this Shen Qianhu? Is Shen Qianhu going there on business?" Li Fusheng saw Shen Lian, waited for a while by the side of the road, and then greeted him.
"If you go back to Eunuch, the next official is to escort Master Jiang who abandoned him and fled back to his hometown, to Yucheng County, where is not only Eunuch going?" Shen Lian clasped his hands and saluted, then asked, he knew that Li Fusheng was His Majesty's confidant, Don't dare to neglect at all.
"Hahaha, that's a coincidence. Our family is about to send the remains of Mr. Wang who died in Zunhua back to his hometown for burial. However, Mr. Wang's hometown is in Jinshan County, which happens to be next to Yucheng County. We can go there together!" Li Fusheng also knew that Shen Lian was an officer under Lu Wenzhao, commander of Jinyiwei, so he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with him.
"It couldn't be better!" Since the two are on the same road, the two teams will form a team and go to the south together. When they checked in at the post along the way, after hearing about the errands they were about to run, the officials and merchants in the past would all rush forward. He stepped forward to accuse Mr. Jiang of his affairs.
Especially his fellow countrymen glared at him and yelled at him, "If you want to die, why do you implicate me? My son has studied hard for more than ten years, and this year he is preparing to enter the arena to try his luck, but he doesn't want to be implicated by you. You can't even get into the examination room! Do you still have the face to go back home?"
In front of Mr. Wang's coffin, there were people offering incense continuously, "Mr. Wang is loyal to the country, and he is really a model of scholars in the world. Even if he passes away, he will leave my Jinshan County. The old man will not do this business. Please return to my father-in-law It is allowed to protect the prince's heroic spirit to return to his hometown in the next one, and then burn a few incense sticks in front of the prince's spirit."
This person is very happy. His family also has nephews who are preparing for the scientific examination. Originally, it was estimated that their academic ability is insufficient. This subject may not be able to enter high school, but who would have thought that Jinshan would produce a hero like Mr. Wang. Yucheng's scholar quota was taken to Jinshan, and now the quota has more than doubled, and the probability of becoming a scholar has greatly increased, so why is he unhappy!
That Chief Jiang cried bitterly in the prison car. It was like this when he met his fellow countrymen on the road. I'm afraid it will be even worse when he returns home, right? I might as well be dead.
Shen Lian saw Master Jiang's thoughts, so he came to the prison car and warned, "Since Your Majesty spared your life, you should be grateful. It would be disrespectful to Your Majesty if you dare to kill yourself; if you don't know, His Majesty will punish you even harder. Forbid you to conduct scientific research for four generations of the Jiang family in Yucheng, and stop scientific research in Yucheng for six years."
Yucheng people can't bear to stop the scientific research for three years. If it stops for another six years, the future of a group of people will be completely ruined. After hearing this, the Yucheng people in the post station can't help it, and continue to point at Mr. Jiang. Cursed angrily, "You still dare to harbor resentment? Are you going to completely destroy my Yucheng?"
Now Master Jiang doesn't even dare to die,
If this dies, it will implicate another generation of their Jiang family. Well, even though they have no official position, the three generations of the family cannot take the imperial examination, and their reputation has been ruined. Will there be anyone willing to marry their daughter to their Jiang family in the future? It's not necessarily that there will be no grandchildren, but there is always some hope, isn't it?
If he dies, his great-grandson's generation will be implicated, and the Jiang family will have no hope at all. They really can't die and dare not die! Master Jiang turned his head and looked eagerly at the incense sticks next to Mr. Wang's coffin. His eyes were full of envy. If I had known this would happen, I might as well go out of the city and die in battle!
Shen Lian and Li Fusheng did not dare to delay along the way, and finally arrived at the junction of Yucheng and Jinshan counties that day, and the magistrates of these two counties also got the news, and they took people to wait at the intersection early.
The expressions on the faces of these two county magistrates were completely different. The magistrate of Yucheng County, where Mr. Jiang was located, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Mr. Jiang has been implicated in his affairs, and he cannot take the imperial examination for three years, and his evaluation will definitely fall into the lower ranks, so why would he have any good looks?
On the other hand, the county magistrate of Jinshan County has a solemn face, and his eyes are full of joy that cannot be concealed. The number of scholars in this county has doubled suddenly.
"Xiaguan led Jinshan's elders to welcome Wang Gong's hero back home!" Seeing Lord Wang's coffin, Jinshan county magistrate immediately brought people to prostrate to the ground, and after the ceremony, he got up and said, "Xiaguan has found a geomantic treasure in Wang Gong's township for Wang Gong'an. Rest, the elders of Jinshan are also planning to build a temple near the resting place of Wang Gong to offer sacrifices, and offer incense at four o'clock."
"The county magistrate has a heart!" Li Fusheng replied.
"Since Mr. Wang has returned to his hometown, then let the officials and the elders of Jinshan help Mr. Wang to return to his hometown, and finish the last part of the journey!" After finishing speaking, the magistrate of Jinshan took some prominent figures in the county to personally lift Mr. Wang up. He walked towards the county step by step, and wherever he went along the way, the people of Jinshan burned incense and offered sacrifices on the side of the road, and all the Wang clan members who accompanied him felt their faces were bright, and they cupped their hands to express their thanks.
On the other hand, in Yucheng County, the patriarch of the Jiang family in Yucheng looked as dark as the bottom of a pot. After the county magistrate greeted Shen Lian, he immediately read out the clan's decision and expelled Mr. Jiang's family from the clan. They get rid of punishment, but this is also a necessary means to show their attitude to His Majesty.
Along the way, when the people of Yucheng saw Mr. Jiang coming, they spit and cursed one after another. The once invincible Jiang family couldn't hold up their heads at all, and the two adjacent counties showed a scene of ice and fire.
