Chapter 134 Calculation Every Step of the Way

Qian Zhong waited for a long time, until the first batch of linen from the exile was sent to the merchant ship of Baolai, no one stood up to recognize him, and Engong didn't send him any letter.

It seems that helping him seek the post of county magistrate in Qiongzhou is for him to make contributions, not for him to protect someone.

The Qian family has also arrived in Qiongzhou, Qian Ji was a little annoyed, "Second brother, we don't even know who we are, what if we collide with benefactor's people?"

Qian Zhong pondered: "Engong said that everything should be done in accordance with the law and my heart. I think the person he wants to protect will not do anything illegal, so how can we conflict with him?"

Qian Ji curled his lips disapprovingly, he was still young, and said with enmity: "What kind of a good person is the person sentenced to be exiled here?"

Qian Zhong shook his head, frowned and said: "There are countless cases of injustice in the world, the small ones are sentenced by a county, and the big ones are sentenced by the king of a country. How can they be considered sinners just because they were exiled? What's more, they are sinners. The future generations are innocent, so you are not allowed to be so rude to the people in the place of exile. No matter who you are, the basic etiquette must not be lost, this is tolerance."

Qian Ji was speechless, "Isn't the king of a country the emperor, and the emperor wronged people?"

Qian Zhong paused, that was the first person who made unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. Seeing that the younger brother was curious, he was afraid that he would cause trouble, Qian Zhong said: "Runing Qin's family is a scholarly family. The cabinet, the Qin cabinet is even less famous. He was responsible for the smuggling of official salt in Liangjiang and the misappropriation of disaster relief money in Lianghu that shocked the government and the public. Those two cases killed many corrupt officials. He was in the cabinet for five years. It gradually became clear that although the people could not live and work in peace and contentment, their lives were ten times better than they are now, but he was detained as a criminal of 'rebellion' and exiled to Qiongzhou."

Qian Zhong said in a low voice: "How could he, a highly-respected cabinet minister with a bright future, rebel? Moreover, the emperor's judgment was strange. Rebellion was a sinner of the Yi tribe, but he only sentenced the Qin family to exile, and even the Qin cabinet They all saved their lives.”

Qian Zhong became an official when Qin Xinfang was in the cabinet. At that time, the government and the public were rectified by him for several years, and many cancers were removed. At this point, he immediately interrupted the imperial examination after passing the examination and sought the post of county lieutenant in his hometown.

At that time, he was only twenty-four years old. At this age, only young talents can be selected in the examination, but it is too difficult to pass the examination, and it is even more difficult to pass the Jinshi examination.

But the situation at home has been driven to a desperate situation. Seeing the eldest brother and two younger brothers being bent over, the nephews in the family are nearly ten years old, and they have to take turns to wear clothes, and they don't even have a piece of clothing that belongs to them.

Qian Zhong is not a person with no scruples, and it is still far away to be a Jinshi. For himself and his family, he gave up the position of the county magistrate in the imperial examination. Confident that as long as he accumulates enough capital, he can go further.

Who knew so many things would happen along the way.

Qin Xinfang was exiled, and the bureaucracy he had so easily cleared began to become muddy again. And it was so unfortunate that he had a boss like Wu Zhi.

Thinking of this, Qian Zhong's heart skipped a beat. Among the exiled people in Qiongzhou, whoever had the most important identity should be the Qin cabinet, and the cloth workshop run by Zhang Yiyan and the caravan under Zhang Liulang belonged to Gu Jingyun, the nephew of the Qin cabinet.

And two of the biggest things he did when he came here involved the Qin family.

Qian Zhong couldn't help rubbing his chin in thought, so Engong asked him to come here to take care of the Qin family?

But Engong is just a businessman, how could he know the Qin cabinet?

No, if Engong is really a businessman, how can he intervene in the official department and let him be the county magistrate of Qiongzhou?

A light flashed in Qian Zhong's eyes. As a small official, he didn't know the turbulence above. He only knew that Qin Xinfang was a good official, and he seemed to be at odds with Concubine Lan Gui.

There are folk rumors that the Qin cabinet was exiled because the emperor believed the slander of Concubine Lan Gui. If the rumors are true...

Qian Zhong's enemy is the Wu family, but behind the Wu family is the fourth prince, and he has always been well aware of this.

If he wanted revenge, he had to rely on a force comparable to the power of the fourth prince.

The first choice was naturally the prince, but he couldn't get in touch with the prince, and he didn't dare to approach him. But the Qin cabinet is different. Now that the Qin cabinet is under his rule and exiled, he should not be too easy to talk to.

Qian Zhong immediately kicked his younger brother out. He had to write a letter to En Gong to find out if it was the Qin cabinet.

If not, he would have leaned on it openly.

At this time, Li Baolu was packing the luggage they left.

It's almost June, and Qiu Wei is in August, so they have to go to Guangzhou in advance to prepare.

The first batch of cloth from the cloth shop has been sent out, and the sales volume is not yet known, but the business of the caravan has prospered a lot because of the cloth shop.

Zhang Liulang is secretly planning to buy goods from the county town and sell them from village to household. If linen can really make money, Zhang Liulang's business will definitely start.

Because there was an extra child in the family, when Li Baolu was about to leave, she always felt that there were many things that were not arranged. She went to Bai's house three times a day, and Bai Yitang was so angry that she kicked her out, pointed at her nose and said angrily: "Three days Don't let me see you."

Li Baolu rubbed her nose in embarrassment, didn't she just want to send some Niu Niu's toys to the cabin in the mountains in advance, so they really had to hide in the mountains in the future, and Niu Niu would have something to play with.

Li Baolu was busy with trivial things, but Gu Jingyun was busy with big things.

Qin Xinfang wrote big characters for three days in a row in the study. Two days before her nephew was about to leave, she still called her to the study. The first sentence was, "Is the new county magistrate Qian Zhong yours?"

Gu Jingyun paused and said, "Not really."

"He didn't care when he went to Beijing to sue for impeachment. Wu Zhi wanted to arrest his family and threaten him. His elder brother led people to hide in advance, but he kept chasing and killing them all the way. They still escaped when they met a kind businessman who helped them cover. The businessman sent them all the way to Beijing, and put them at the feet of the emperor, so that the Wu family would be wary of rats."

Qin Xinfang raised her eyebrows.

Gu Jingyun hesitated for a moment and said: "The merchant knows uncle, but I don't know if uncle still recognizes him. He used to be a small salt merchant in Zhejiang, and you saved his life when you investigated the private sale of official salt."

In fact, he saved his whole family. Back then, the businessman was pushed out as a scapegoat. Once the crime was confirmed, he would be executed all over the house. If Qin Xinfang hadn't stopped him, that man and the dozen or so small businessmen who were blamed together would have died long ago. .

Qin Xinfang's heart was heavy, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. She said, "It's an old friend from many years ago. I didn't expect to be able to get in touch with you."

Knowing that his uncle was angry, Gu Jingyun bowed his head and said, "It's also a coincidence. His son and Uncle Chen's son used to be classmates. I asked Uncle Chen to help find a good official who is honest and honest. By chance, I found out about Qian Zhong."

In fact, he accidentally heard gossip about Wu's family in the capital, and then learned about Qian Zhong, and followed the investigation to find out the businessman, and then unfortunately connected to the Chen's family.

Although the businessman's son and Uncle Chen's son were classmates, they were not familiar with each other, or they didn't even know each other's existence before that, but they just happened to have studied in an academy.

But it doesn't matter, he just needs an excuse and a channel to contact, that's enough.

Although Tan Qian is stupid, he is too greedy for coolness. He can do anything for money. It is too dangerous for such a person with no lower limit to be placed in Qiongzhou.

In the past, he could ignore it, because he knew his uncle's ability, and Tan Qian couldn't break ground when he was too old, but now there is a baby in the family.

He will never allow any danger to exist.

When he knew that his aunt was pregnant and made up his mind to reveal his identity and escort Li An back to Beijing, he decided to change to Qiongzhou county magistrate.

Originally, he wanted to use the prince's power to exchange someone from their side, but he didn't expect the prince's family to be so difficult.

And no matter how trustworthy the prince is, he is not as useful as his own.

He purposely stayed in the capital for such a long time, apart from recuperating from his injuries, he just inquired about available people.

At that time, he listed a lot of small officials, and in the end, he found three who were the most suitable. However, regardless of his personality or experience, the one who moved him the most was Qian Zhong.

And that businessman still remembers his uncle's kindness, and that businessman is Qian Zhong's benefactor.

Gu Jingyun knew that his uncle didn't like his careful thinking, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "Qian Zhong is recommended by Uncle Chen. I have seen his resume, and he will definitely be able to do something in Qiongzhou. So I privately asked Uncle Huang to help. Qian Zhong recommended it, Qiongzhou is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, not many people will compete with him, especially after the county magistrate like Tan Qian, Qiongzhou can be said to be riddled with holes."

What he didn't expect was that the backhand he had arranged was useless, and a new patrol came, but the effect was even better than the one he had designed.

Tan Qian was liquidated as quickly as possible, and Qian Zhong came to Qiongzhou a month earlier than he expected.

Qin Xinfang shook her beard, "Uncle Huang? Which Uncle Huang?"

Gu Jingyun lowered his eyes and said, "Oh, it's Huang Wei, the Imperial Academy attendant. He has a brother-in-law who works in the Ministry of Officials. It's much more convenient to do this."

Qin Xinfang's complexion darkened, and he handed over many contacts to Gu Jingyun, but Huang Wei was definitely not included, because Huang Wei was a purely academic person, and he only asked Huang Wei for one thing, that is, as long as he He would suppress Gu Huaijin for a day in the Hanlin Academy and not be able to stand out.

You can neither be promoted nor leave the Hanlin Academy!

Gu Jingyun will contact Huang Wei, does that mean he also knows about Gu Huaijin?

Seeing that her nephew's face had no abnormal expression, Qin Xinfang couldn't help sighing, the child must know, Qin Xinfang couldn't help but get entangled.

He doesn't regret banning Gu Huaijin, he is Wen Yin's elder brother, he has to seek justice for his sister, before he returns to Beijing, Gu Huaijin must not escape from his grasp and get out of his control.

But Jing Yun is Gu Huaijin's son, and Qin Xinfang felt a little uncomfortable for being so indifferent to his father's situation, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Qin Xinfang felt distressed and couldn't pursue him anymore, so she had to repeatedly ask: "Don't rely on your own intelligence to do whatever you want, you can't do things based on calculations, I won't pursue this matter, but in the future, you are not allowed to do anything like this again. "
