Chapter 128: Parents and Officials
Chapter 128 Parents
A figure in the martial arts world? To talk about what Bi Xiaoqing is most worried about in recent times, as Ye Tao’s guard commander, it can only be a figure in the martial arts world. If he knew that the atmosphere in Ninghe Town was so special, he would never agree to bring only twelve guards to Ninghe Town with the Governor in confinement.
Bi Xiaoqing had no choice. According to some fashionable saying, he was a few levels lower than Ye Tao in terms of confidentiality and information. Many of the reports that Ye Tao could see and information that he could learn were not known. But when Ye Tao chose not to tell him, he had no choice.
However, once he arrived in Ninghe Town and settled in the luxurious Bafang Tower in the town, Bi Xiaoqing, who had been walking around the streets for a while, felt that the atmosphere was not right. Although Bi Xiaoqing was Liu Meng's apprentice and had a good skill, he had never walked through the world, but he still had a little understanding of the atmosphere of the world. There are indeed many people who were famous in the palace guards, and they also passed on a lot of experience and experience in the world to guards like Bi Xiaoqing who can perform many "field missions". When Bi Xiaoqing became Ye Tao's guard commander and began to stand alone, these experiences were particularly important.
He found signs of unknown meaning at several street corners, which were obviously used by some people in the martial arts world. When he sat in the restaurant, his cautious expression and the serious and square and meticulous attitude that only the imperial guards and the inner court guards immediately alarmed two martial arts people who were originally drinking in the corner. Although the two guys did not carry weapons, they looked very good.
After encountering such a thing, Bi Xiaoqing thought of asking the Governor what was going on.
There are unknown figures of the world of martial arts on the construction site of Ninghe Town. This news has not been obtained by Zeng Man, but has been transmitted to Ye Tao through channels within the Governor's Office. There are many children of aristocratic families under the Governor's Office, and one advantage is that their families will strive to make their children have better conditions and better performance in their official careers. These children of aristocratic families have people like servants who are responsible for serving. Using these people to deliver letters is obviously faster than using the court's original post-transmission system.
Although Bi Xiaoqing was nervous, Ye Tao didn't think anything. When the people in the martial arts world came to Ninghe Town, they must have their purpose and must have reasons worthy of their coming here. How many of these reasons are related to the canal is what Ye Tao wants to know. The people in the martial arts world will not rashly fight against the court. Even the world's number one master may not find a governor to kill him to play with him to prove how powerful his martial arts are. After comforting Bi Xiaoqing a few words, Ye Tao ordered Chao Baoshantang to submit a letter of worship. Secretly summoned several key officials from the Governor's Office to dispatch Ninghe Town.
Bi Xiaoqing had no other words about such instructions. Although he was worried about Ye Tao's safety, he knew that in addition to the guards he brought, there were other people paying attention to Ye Tao's safety.
Sure enough, when Ye Tao was still friendly and asked Xiaoeran if there was any special restaurant in Ninghe Town for them to enjoy the first supper in Ninghe Town, the official who had previously reported to Ye Tao came. Although this guy named Han Dongdi was also a family member, he did not take the position of Ye Tao like some other people. Instead, he passed the exam that was quite terrible for most people in this era. The officials of the Han family and Gao Zhen and other groups walked very well.
Recently, the Han family has a long history and is not very tempted by the family that has emerged in several generations like the Gao family. Han Dong passed the exam and worked under the Governor's Office in the Canal, which may be considered an attempt by the Han family to expand their relationship network. Ye Tao did not take Han Dongtai seriously at first. Later, with Feng Zi's reminder and insistence, he arranged Han Dong to be his own side in Ninghe Town, which was also considered a reward for his favor. Han Dong's performance was among many newcomers from aristocratic families who had no experience.
The original county magistrate of Ninghe Town was a scholar who didn't know much about economic affairs. He was very unaware of some practices in Han Dong and set up many obstacles intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, after Han Dong communicated with his family, he went to some point and summoned the guy back to Danyang to report his job, and then he would be promoted to half a level and become an official in other places. In this way, Ninghe Town basically had the final say before the new county magistrate took office. Because Han Dong was very happy to do things, especially in the canal project, the local corvée collection was reduced and he preferred to use the method of hiring civilians who were to be remunerated. When many local people got the benefits, this temporary local parent official was very interesting.
In the small yard that Ye Tao was booked, Han Dong said to Ye Tao in a hurry: "Sir, you are not the time to come. Ninghe Town is really a little chaotic now. Please forgive the unreasonable officials. If the adults are not very tired, it is best to leave immediately. Ninghe Town will have to make trouble for at least a while."
Ye Tao frowned and said, "Is this happening? You wrote to me first. It was just a gangster. What's wrong now?"
Han Dong sighed: "On the third day after the letter I sent to you was sent, someone reported to the county magistrate, saying that it was a warehouse in the south of the city, with a very unusual smell, and it seemed to be rotten. After the county magistrate went to see it, he found that the deceased in the warehouse was the prison in the town prison. The prison was sick on the day the two figures in the river appeared on the river, and seemed to want to leave Ninghe Town. Unexpectedly, they died in the warehouse. Only then did Beizhi realize that the two figures in the river were probably not concerned about Ninghe Town chasing them, but because they had done what they were going to do. Later, I wrote a letter to the adults to report on this matter. However, today, you suddenly appeared in Ninghe Town. Beizhi realized that this letter was probably missed."
Han Dong sighed and continued to explain: "Weizhi has been trying every means to investigate the previous things these days, trying to get a glimpse of the whole story. Unexpectedly, many people from the Jianghu Town came to Ninghe Town one after another. However, many people from local sects from Dongping came to me and followed the rules to make it convenient for me, which allowed me to learn some news from them."
"The story is to be traced back to last summer when a seriously injured figure came to Ninghe Town. Because the person's origin was unknown, the Le family in Baoshantang did not accept the person. Later, the man settled in a small Taoist temple in the west of the city. The man refused to disclose his origin. The county magistrate asked several times. The guy did not disclose his origin and ordered the guy to be taken into jail. Although this guy was not imprisoned for some found guilt, the prison could not take any special care of that guy. He put it in a single cell. Except for the food, he would of course not be able to say anything else. The guy died in jail. And this guy was the cause of everything."
It turned out that this guy who died in prison was Xing Yuan, the wife's brother of the Lord Yingtang of Emperor Daomingzong. He was also a small leader in the Lord Daomingzong. The guy's wife was from Dongping. Last year, Xing Yuan took his wife back to Dongping's parents' home, but encountered some things. As a result, Xing Yuan's wife died, and Xing Yuan barely fled to Ninghe Town. He died in prison when he was unable to resist. The story was reported back to the Lord of Emperor Daomingzong, and the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord Mo Leng could no longer hold on to his face. Emperor Daomingzong was a Taoist association.
, using a demagogue religion to attract believers and cultivate strength, Xiling faintly wants to become a state religion. It affects the momentum of national affairs, but in private, the Daomingzong's Jianghu is also very powerful, and Yingtang is a violent group that governs all Jianghu forces in Daomingzong and cooperates with the development direction of Daomingzong to conduct assassination, robbery, family extermination, spy, etc. The news Mo Leng received was conveyed several times, and it was obviously very distorted. What Mo Leng was told was that Xing Yuan was tortured to death in prison.
From the perspective of officials and courts, the storm that is about to come, whether it is related to the entanglement between Dongping and Xiling, or whether it is related to the vast areas under his jurisdiction, it is definitely not a pleasant thing. "Confucianism uses literature to disrupt law, and heroes use martial arts to violate the ban", this is the most direct comment that can come out in his mind. He can understand Han Dong's difficulties. As the current local official of Ninghe Town, what happened under his nose was something he could not stop. He is now the most powerful thing.
The position he could take was to temporarily sign the county magistrate of Ninghe Town. In this position, he had to inspect the progress of the river project, and to find ways to stabilize the increasingly tense situation. He, a newcomer, cannot surpass the local residents. Some local residents have noticed that the atmosphere is wrong, and some wealthy families even go out for a while to avoid it, while most people do not have such conditions. These people need the comfort of his temporary parents.
What would happen if a fight in the martial arts world really occurred? The martial arts people in Dongping might still be concerned about Jingzhi in the local area, but Emperor Daomingzong would not have such concerns. If a large-scale warrior killing occurred in Ninghe Town, such as the killing of prisoners and the killing of prisoners, once panic arises and lets this panic spread, it will have a great impact on a small town like Ninghe Town.
