Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 92
Recently, the situation in Gaozhou Prefecture was turbulent, and a big event happened: Miao Jiafeng, the new magistrate, made a private visit in a micro-service.

But soon, another news spread, saying that Miao Jiafeng was not going to inspect the people's situation at all, but colluded with the black bandits, but because the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, they fought and were killed...

Compared with the former, the latter is much more widespread.

After all, ordinary people like conspiracy theories, collusion between officials and gangsters, and hot news that can unearth a lot of shocking inside stories.

At the same time, a previous rumor about the prefect Miao raising corpses in the government office was also found out, and evidence was obtained, which caused an uproar in the city.

This kind of thing is simply appalling. Ordinary people don't understand the Walking Corpse Sect, and feel that as long as the word "corpse" is tainted, nothing will be good, and they can immediately associate it with "eating people" and "drinking blood".

Miao Jiafeng is dead, and his reputation is rotten. All the confidantes who followed him to the post died, disappeared, and none of them survived.

So far, the position of chief official in Fucheng is vacant again, waiting for a new appointment from the imperial court.

Gou Yanxiu first, followed by Miao Jiafeng, in just over half a year, disasters happened to the two magistrates.It had to be discussed a lot, and some even said that it was a problem with the government's feng shui.

It is said that these remarks came from the mouth of Lu Banxian, an expert in the city, and the words are convincing.

Ever since, other officials of the government office, such as Tongzhi, Tongju, Zhubo, etc., sent people to prepare generous gifts, and asked Lu Banxian for advice and change their luck.

Compared with the attention-grabbing movements of government offices, the changes in the military are less known.Among them, Zhao Changkong beheaded Cao An, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, and was promoted to be a captain because of his meritorious service; Qiu Bugui, the former captain, resigned voluntarily because of his injuries...

The Qiu family is leaving, moving away from Lingnan and going to Yunzhou.

Strictly speaking, this is not "going", but "returning". After all, the ancestral home of the Qiu family is in Yunzhou.

Qiu does not marry to get started with the cultivation method, she must go back to "home" to perform the real clan inheritance ceremony, so as to become a saint.

This will be a once-in-a-century grand ceremony.

As family members, Qiu Bugui and others will naturally not miss it.

Qiu Bugui's injury had already gotten to the point where he was retired due to injury, it was just an excuse.People are about to leave, and they probably won't come back, so what are they still occupying their positions?It's not as beautiful as an adult, and send a meritorious service to Zhao Changkong.

In fact, this is also a transaction, Zhao Changkong guarantees that Qiu and his party can leave Lingnan safely.

Qiu Bulai split up the unsealed Yuelai Commercial Bank, realized it, and maximized the benefits. The money he got was enough to guarantee the life needs of the whole family.

Don't panic when you have money in your hand, this has always been Qiu Bulai's motto.

The most surprising thing was Lao Qiu. For some reason, the old man suddenly became energetic, and he could eat three bowls of it for a meal.

At the beginning, everyone was still terrified, thinking that he was going to return to his glory.As a result, after several days, the old man should eat and drink, and there is nothing wrong with him.

Everyone was surprised and happy. Although they felt strange, they were more happy: the old man lived a long and healthy life. What a wonderful thing, can you not be happy?

Grandpa's family was moving, and Chen Jin was about to leave, but they didn't go together, and they went in different directions and destinations.

"Xiao Lang, there is always a banquet in the world."

Qiu Bugui said with a sigh.

Chen Jin asked: "Uncle, you are leaving in a hurry, do you have other worries?"

"That's right. Although Miao Jiafeng is dead, there are people behind him. No one knows when those people will find them. Moreover, if such a major incident happened in Fucheng, it is likely that the inner factory will be alarmed and people will be sent to investigate. .”

Qiu Bugui said: "Since we have been exposed, we should change places as soon as possible."

The Qiu family has long been used to moving.

Chen Jin nodded and said, "It's the principle to take precautions before they happen."

Qiu Bugui continued: "Xiao Lang, you are inseparable from this matter, so you have to be more careful."

"Well, I will."

Qiu Bugui sighed: "In the past, I would have asked you to follow everyone no matter what, but now, there is no need to worry. With your strength and character, you are enough to be alone. Uncle is very relieved, and there are some things, it is time I told you."

Hearing this, Chen Jin asked in a deep voice, "Please speak clearly, uncle."

Qiu Bugui took out a letter: "I've written everything about your parents in the letter, you'll know it right away."

"Thank you uncle."

Chen Jin took the letter and did not rush to open it to read, but bid farewell to everyone one by one.

Qiu Baoer: "Cousin, next time we meet again, I will treat you to the best roast chicken in the world."

"Okay, it's a deal."

The two clapped their hands together and made an oath.

Qiu Buwei, with her hair tied around her waist, is heroic and graceful, and the handsome young man said, "Xiao Lang, will you miss me after I leave?"

Chen Jin replied tactfully: "Of course, I will miss everyone."

Qiu seemed dissatisfied with not being married, and suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lang, since that night, I have sworn that my women's clothing will only be worn by one person from now on."

Chen Jin pretended to be stupid and said, "Who is it for?"

Qiu Bujuan smiled and said, "I know you're pretending to be stupid, but it's really cute to look stupid."

Finally it was Lao Qiu's turn, he was holding a long bamboo whip, his old face like pine bark was vicissitudes and serious.

Crack!

The bamboo whip slapped the ground hard, making a crisp sound: "My dear grandson, you must study hard. Only by studying well can you get ahead! Only then can you marry three wives and four concubines!"

Chen Jin: "..."

The former is spur and inspiration, but what does the latter mean?
Well, they are all real words of wisdom. In this time and space, those who can marry three wives and four concubines are the proper winners in life.

After saying goodbye, those who rode on horses rode on horses, and those who got on the carts got on the carts. With a wave of their hands, the chariots and horses started and left the old hill village.

It wasn't until the team turned a corner and disappeared from sight that Chen Jin turned around.

Gu Leyou beside him asked, "Scholar, are you alright?"

Chen Jin smiled: "It's not life and death, what can happen?"

Gu Leyou clapped his hands: "Open-minded! It's just right, let's go to the city and start at Chunfeng Tower tonight. Lao Lai said that he has already booked Qin Cao girl for his treat."

Chen Jin: "..."

Is this piano girl really that good?It makes this guy never forget, always talking about it.

Immediately said: "Don't you want to get acquainted with Catcher Ma? I will introduce him to you tonight."

Gu Leyou said happily: "Double happiness is coming, I can give my Miss Yueru to the horse catcher."

Chen Jin said: "Catcher Ma has never had any color in his life. He doesn't like to go to Chunfenglou, but only wants to drink at roadside stalls."

Gu Leyou rolled his eyes: "Actually, I seldom go to Chunfenglou. Every time I go, it's for entertainment, and I can't refuse. For example, this time, it was Lao Lai who invited me several times. I was too enthusiastic, so I reluctantly agreed...In short, I will go wherever you go. There are poems to prove it: Women are like clouds, heroes are like trees. Clouds cover your eyes, and trees are easy to hug..."

Every time he heard him chanting doggerel, Chen Jin always had the urge to slap his face.

It really deserves a beating.

On the way back to the city, he opened the letter left by his uncle and read it carefully.

After reading it, let out a long breath.

Chen Jin knew some of his own background at the beginning: his mother eloped with his father to start a family, and later his father was framed and his family fell into ruin, which triggered a series of subsequent events.

The reason why Chen's father was framed was actually related to Chen's mother.

As the daughter of the Qiu family, Chen's mother is naturally extremely beautiful, and she has been doted on in every possible way since she was a child. According to Qiu Bugui, the whole family wanted to train her to be a "sage aunt", but she was "abducted" by Chen's father. If it doesn't belong to their hearts, they naturally have opinions on Father Chen.

The man has passed away, and all the grievances have long since disappeared. When Chen Jin grew up, Qiu Bugui no longer concealed anything from this nephew:

"Jiangzhou Wang's family? It's time to go back and have a look."

In today's world, there are five famous families, namely the Su family in Zhongzhou, the Cui family in Shangzhou, the Xie family in Changzhou, the Wang family in Jiangzhou, and the Hong family in Liangzhou.

The Wang family is one of them, with a prominent reputation.

At the end of the letter, Qiu Bugui repeatedly told Chen Jin to be careful and not to be impulsive.

……

After entering the city and returning to the rented house, Chen Jin and Gu Leyou simply went to the market to buy various ingredients, took them back to the yard and lit a fire for cooking, and then invited Ma Shengshen over.

Gu Leyou also thought it was a good idea, it was more sincere than going to a roadside stall to eat a bowl of noodles.

At dusk, Ma Shengshen came over after get off work.

Upon seeing it, Gu Leyou felt kind-hearted, and finally remembered: when he returned to the mountain from Fucheng, he met a group of people on the way, and sighed at the majesty and might of the leader, wasn't that person Ma Shengshen?

When he said it, Ma Shengshen also recalled: "I came to Gaozhou that time to arrest the big thief Tuoyanhu, and because of this, I got acquainted with Conservation."

Chen Jin immediately raised his glass: "Come, let's have a drink for this acquaintance."

The three men toasted and drank, and the atmosphere was suddenly heightened.

After drinking for three rounds and eating several catties of meat, I started to talk about things.

Chen Jin said: "Brother Shengshen, I heard that you are about to be promoted to headhunter?"

Ma Shengshen replied: "Master Yang told me today that if there is no accident, it will be completed next month."

"With your ability, you are more than enough to be a headhunter. You should have been promoted long ago. Come, let's have a drink."

Since Miao Jiafeng was killed, Yang Rong's attitude towards Ma Shengshen has taken a big turn. He deeply feels that such a fierce man is needed in the yamen of the Gaozhou Prefecture Police Department, who will charge forward in the future, slaying demons and so on. Just one knife out of the sheath.

If you want a horse to run fast, you must feed it well.

After the death of Xing Tutouheng, there was already a vacancy in the Yamen's position of Butou, and it was only logical that Ma Shengshen filled it.

Ma Shengshen asked, "Shou Heng, has your grandfather's family left Lingnan?"

"Well, I left this morning."

Chen Jin replied, "Maybe in a few days, I'm leaving too."

Gu Leyou, who was pouring the wine, shook his hands and spilled the wine: "You didn't say you were going to leave today!"

Chen Jin chuckled: "Everyone is good to say goodbye."

Gu Leyou asked reluctantly: "Have you really decided? No, didn't you want to take the exam for fame? Can you go to another place?"

"I'm not from Lingnan... Back in the Central Plains, I will naturally have a way to take the exam."

Gu Leyou said "Oh": "I see. Scholar, you are not something in the pond. After entering the land of the Central Plains, you will definitely be able to make great achievements and become famous."

It was also in this house, and it was also at night. At that time, their life was quite difficult, and they couldn't even afford supper.When talking about future plans and prospects, Gu Leyou once pointed to Yue Mingzhi, saying that he would join hands with Chen Jin and travel to the Central Plains to make a name for himself, and to experience the charming Qinhuai Fengyue...

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin was really leaving now.

Immediately said: "I have made some money recently, and I am preparing to renovate the Taoist temple. This is what I promised Master. After I finish this, I will leave Lingnan and go to the Central Plains to find you."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Welcome very much."

"For our reunion in the future, let's have a toast!"

Ma Shengshen said: "Shou Heng, then what is your position in the patrol department?"

Chen Jin said: "I will go to resign tomorrow."

This temporary book office has no meaning to him now.

Ma Shengshen thought for a while, and then asked: "It's a long way from Lingnan to the Central Plains, and there are many cities, counties and towns on the way. I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to lead the way."

This is indeed a problem.

In the Qian Dynasty, apart from traffic congestion and slow efficiency, identity was also very important.Going from one place to another, if you don't have a legal citation document, you will be regarded as a refugee by the government in minutes and thrown into jail.

The solution is to go to the relevant department of the yamen to go through the relevant procedures, which is estimated to cost a sum of money and take a lot of trouble.

Ma Shengshen suddenly said, "Shou Heng, do you want to be a wanderer?"

"Wandering?"

It was the first time Chen Jin heard of this name.

Ma Shengshen explained: "This is a new title launched by the Patrol Division. As the name suggests, wanderers are wandering around. Holding this license is equivalent to having a legitimate identity to travel the world."

When Chen Jin heard it, his eyes lit up: this thing is so good.

Ma Shengshen continued: "However, if you want to become a wanderer, you must pass a certain force assessment, and you must complete a considerable share of tasks every year, otherwise your license will be cancelled. Of course, when you complete the tasks, you can get relevant rewards."

This position is similar to that of a "bounty hunter", but the passport function of the license is really coveted.

This move by the inspector is really wonderful.

From the side, it also proves that their ambition of recruiting troops is not only to expand their strength, but also to compete with internal factories.

Gu Leyou's eyes also brightened: "I want to be one too."

"As far as I know, the Gaozhou Prefecture's Patrol Division has a total of five places for wandering arrests. If you are interested, I will ask Mr. Yang about the relevant situation tomorrow. I am just helping to ask, and I can't interfere with other things."

For Chen Jin's matter, Ma Shengshen, who has always said so little, said so much, it's really hard for him.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Brother Sheng Shen."

Chen Jin raised his wine glass.

After a night of drinking, Ma Shengshen missed the time to go home again, and wondered if he would be punished after returning.

On the second day, Chen Jin, who went to patrol the Siyamen and asked to resign, was called to the hall by Yang Rong.

The surprisingly thick-armed Master Yang stared at him: "Chen Jin, I heard you want to be a wanderer?"

"Yes."

"Why do you want to be? What are you capable of?"

Yang Rong asked directly.
