After the salted fish is married

Careers

The people in Pingchang City were very excited. They gathered at the gate of the governor's mansion to watch the trial of King Rong.Most of the officials involved in the letters read in the afternoon were in the Governor's Mansion, which saved Ji Song a lot of effort, lest he have to send people to various places in Liangzhou to arrest people.

Ji Song opened the court at the Governor's Mansion overnight, and he called in the Chi Ling Army to maintain order.Once the crimes committed by the officials involved in the case are verified, they will be beheaded immediately.In less than two hours, the heads of five or six greedy crocodiles had fallen outside the governor's mansion.

Seeing the bloody heads placed neatly on the desk, the usually arrogant officials were terrified.They knew that they couldn't escape, and if they didn't tell the truth, it would be a small matter to be beheaded, but a serious matter to their family.

According to the things they committed, the light ones can destroy the family, and the serious ones can destroy the three clans.Whether their families can survive depends on how honest they are.So in the courtroom, whatever Ji Song asked them, they would answer. After a while, the officials involved in the scene poured beans out of a bamboo tube to confide in the crimes they committed.

It's just that Ji Song still frowned, he was not as relaxed and carefree as the crowd watching.

There are many officials involved in the Liangzhou corruption case. The sheriffs, Sima, and county magistrates of 56 counties in the eight counties...the officials and officials are intertwined with each other, and one pulls out a large area.It's a trivial matter to arrest these officials, and beheading is also a trivial matter. The key is that he has no civil servants under his command.

Although he transferred [-] soldiers from the Chiling Army, it was no problem for these soldiers to charge forward, but it was indeed a bit difficult for them to do paperwork.The reason why Jiang Yi is arrogant is that he is expected to have no foundation in Liangzhou other than Chiling Army, and he needs Liangzhou officials to do things.

He needs people, people who can do things, people who are talented and virtuous.But when he first arrived in Liangzhou, where did he find so many people?

Just as Ji Song was rubbing his temples, Yan Ke's voice came from next to his ear: "Master, master."

Ji Song raised his head wearily, and Yan Ke reported concisely: "Six corrupt officials were killed in the night trial today, and the rest of the people involved in the case have been imprisoned in the Pingchang Yamen." There are too many people involved in the case. It is impossible for the entire Liangzhou officialdom to be purged.

Yan Ke asked with concern: "Master, why don't you take a break today and continue the trial tomorrow?" The body is the capital of the revolution. Ji Song encountered such a bad thing when he first arrived in Liangzhou. The matter in Liangzhou will be settled within a few days.

Fearing that Ji Song would disagree, Yan Ke reminded: "The princess is still waiting for you outside the city."

Hearing the word wangfei, Ji Song's tough attitude finally began to loosen. He nodded slightly: "That's it for today. Go outside the city to meet wangfei... No, I'll pick him up."

Seeing the messy Liangzhou officialdom, Ji Song's mind was in a mess, and an unknown flame was burning in his heart.He wished to kill all the corrupt officials in Liangzhou, but he knew that killing alone was not enough.With all kinds of emotions intertwined, Ji Song felt physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, he really wanted to go back to Ah Ning and eat a bowl of Liangpi made by Ah Ning.

Thinking about the matter of Liangpi, Ji Song suddenly remembered something important: "A Ning and the others are okay?" He patronized the interrogation, and even left A Ning and the others outside the city, and he didn't know what happened to A Ning.

Hearing Ji Song's question, Yan Ke scratched his cheek in embarrassment.He doesn't know either!He has been by Ji Song's side all the time and he doesn't have superhuman powers, how would he know the situation of the princess and the others?

After setting up the soldiers, Ji Song, accompanied by Yan Ke and the others, galloped towards the city gate.Unexpectedly, before reaching the gate of the east city, they saw that the gate of the city was crowded with people holding torches.Taking a closer look, they were all the people of Liangzhou City, and some of them had just evacuated from the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Yan Kelema casually asked a person who was queuing up: "My countrymen, what are you doing here?"

The man's eyes were flickering with fire: "You don't know, do you? Princess Rong is avenging the people outside the city. If you have any injustice, you can go to him. I heard that Princess Rong looks like a fairy, and she is beautiful." What a kind heart!"

When they squeezed through the long crowd to the side of Yan Xining's convoy, Ji Song was stunned.I saw more than a dozen long tables on both sides of the official road, and behind each long table were two people who were writing at their desks.People lined up in front of the long table, and someone guided them to tell their names and addresses and whom to sue for any wrongs they suffered.

Candles were lit in the carriage behind the long table, and Yan Xining was sitting in the carriage binding and packing piles of paper.He lifted the curtain and glanced at the endless crowd, groaning inwardly.

The county government in Pingchang City may not have opened its doors for so many years, and there are so many backlogged cases.He didn't major in criminal investigation. Facing so many pleadings, his scalp was numb.I just hope that Ji Song won't get angry when he sees so many papers.

At this moment, he heard three rhythmic knocking sounds from outside the carriage, it was the guards who had returned!Yan Xining was refreshed, he opened the curtain to look around, and saw Yan Ke baring his white teeth and pointing to the back: "Princess, master is waiting for you in the car."

The carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion stopped behind the carriage of the Wang family, and was blocked by the carriage of the Wang family, the noise gradually faded away.An ice bucket was placed in the carriage, and Ji Song felt much more relaxed.

After a while, the curtain moved, and Yan Xining got in: "Rong Chuan..."

As soon as Yan Xining entered, she was hugged by Ji Song.All the questions were stuck in the throat, stroking Ji Song's back, Yan Xining could only feel the indelible exhaustion from his partner.

Yan Xining gently stroked Ji Song's back: "I heard from the people that you did the right thing. Corrupt officials should be killed."

Ji Song nodded slightly: "I know, I don't intend to let them go. It's just that Liangzhou's officialdom is in a mess. If they are killed, there will be no one available."

There is still a plague of locusts in Liangzhou's sky, if the duck raising is not arranged sooner, it will cause disaster again when the autumn harvest comes.Ji Song faced one after another, causing him a headache.

Yan Xining rubbed Ji Song's back, and he said in relief: "Don't stress too much, we have already done so many things when we arrived in Liangzhou today, let's do the rest slowly. Liangzhou is so big, isn't it Still can't pick out a few useful people? At worst, we will issue a notice to recruit people tomorrow, and we will recruit whoever is lacking. You see, I just yelled on the official road, and there are so many people willing to come out to help. The state still has a lot of talent.”

Speaking of this, Ji Song raised his head: "By the way, Aning, what are you doing?"

Yan Xining had been busy for a long time, and now his lips were chapped and peeled. He licked his lips and said embarrassedly: "Isn't it because I saw you punishing corrupt officials, so I want to help too? I'm afraid that there is not enough evidence, so I will Tell the people passing by that if you have a grievance, you can come to us."

Ji Song laughed dumbfounded: "As expected of you."

Yan Xining hesitated, "Did I cause you trouble?"

Ji Song held his hand: "No, you helped me a lot." Punishing corrupt officials is inseparable from solving people's worries, and Yan Xining did the right thing.What is wrong is that this group of officials in Liangzhou have only cared about the fish and meat these years, and have not done anything that should be done.

Yan Xining saw that Ji Song's eyes were turning purple, and he said softly, "Are you tired? Have you eaten yet?"

Ji Song shook his head: "No, what about you?"

Yan Xining also shook her head: "No." The cooks of the Wang family cooked a lot of meals, but those meals were given priority to the common people who helped write the pleadings.He doesn't feel hungry when he's busy, but now that he's chatting with Ji Song, his belly starts to play tricks.

After a pause, Yan Xining asked, "Why don't you make it easier today? I'll ask the Wang family's cook for a pot so we can cook some noodles?"

At this time, Ye Linfeng's voice came from outside the carriage: "Hey, I'm so sad. I've been with you two for so long, and no one of you found out that a living person like this old man was lost."

Ji Song lowered his eyes in shame, he was only looking for Ah Ning, but he really didn't realize that Ye Linfeng was not in the car.But Ye Linfeng was the one they didn't need to worry about the least, and there were not many people in this world who could bring down Miracle Doctor Ye.

Ye Linfeng opened the curtain and walked in, holding a big food box in his hand: "It's hard for me, old man, I still miss you young couple. Come, the special dishes just packed from the restaurant in Liangzhou City are still hot Come on, you're welcome."

Yan Xining was overjoyed: "Thank you genius doctor!"

After opening the food box, Yan Xining saw a huge basin.The basin was bigger than his face, a foot deep, and half a bowl of beef soup was placed in it.There is a light layer of oil on the clear broth. Just by smelling the soup, you can know how delicious it is.

Ji Song took out a large bowl containing noodles and beef from the second layer of the food box. Liangzhou belongs to the north, and the people have a big appetite, so the meals here are very solid.For example, this serving of beef noodles, the amount of beef given is very large, and at first glance, you can only see the gray slices of meat but not the noodles below.The sliced ​​meat is covered with green coriander and garlic sprouts, giving a strong visual impact.

Yan Xining was shocked: "The portions are huge." Such a serving of noodles would cost a lot of money in the capital, right?

Ji Song has stayed in Liangzhou for a long time and is no stranger to Liangzhou beef noodles.He poured the beef and noodles in the bowl into the noodle soup, and after a little mixing, a large bowl of fragrant beef noodles appeared in front of the two of them.

Ye Linfeng shook his head: "Have you tried Liangzhou's unique beef noodles, have you? Try it soon."

Liangzhou Beef Noodles pays attention to clear soup, white noodles, and fresh taste. It is served with coriander and chopped green onion, which can be described as delicious in color, fragrance and taste.Ji Song handed the empty bowl in his hand to Yan Xining: "Eat quickly, the noodles won't taste good if they are lumpy."

The noodles that Ye Linfeng chose for the two of them were three types of beef noodles. The noodles had a strong texture and the soup was extremely delicious.Especially the sliced ​​beef inside, which is as thin as a cicada's wing, soaked in the soup and fragrant into the bone marrow.

The two of them who had been busy all day were already hungry. At this time, they leaned next to the food box and sucked on the noodles, and nodded hurriedly: "It's delicious, so fresh."

Ji Song kept putting the beef slices in the big bowl into Yan Xining's bowl: "The beef and mutton in Liangzhou are of good quality, you should eat more."

Ye Linfeng sat down on the low bench, and he happily told the two of them what he saw in the Liangzhou restaurant today: "You two are in the limelight, one is petitioning for the people, and the other is beheading corrupt officials. The storyteller below has compiled a book for you two overnight. Work hard, I believe that you will be able to return the people of Liangzhou to a clean Liangzhou."

It's fine if you don't talk about this question, but after talking about this question, Ji Song began to feel heavy again: "Just now Aning asked me to post a notice to recruit people, but the appointment of officials is so random."

Yan Xining slurped the noodles and said casually: "Then don't appoint officials for the time being, we only recruit people who can do things. For example, if we need to raise ducks, we will recruit experienced duck breeders; if we need to be able to write official documents, we will recruit people with relevant knowledge Experienced people are the only ones. Get things done first, and then consider the matter of appointing and dismissing officials.”

Ji Song's eyes lit up suddenly: "It makes sense!" He was too limited, he only wanted to give suitable positions to the right people and let them handle the chores in Liangzhou.But I didn't expect to let people do things first, and whoever does things well can stay as an official.

Ji Song wished he could hold his princess in his arms and kiss her several times. As expected of Aning, what he said casually made him suddenly understand.

After thinking for a while, Yan Xining said, "By the way, Huang Caiwei's father seems to be the Sima of Pingchang County. He risked his life to deliver the evidence to prove that he has conscience and ability. I think such a person should be reused."

Ji Song had already thought about this, when he was in the Governor's Mansion just now, he had ordered people to go to Pingchang Prison to rescue the Huang family.It's just that Huang Xingjian and his son were tortured and have been sent to the hospital for treatment.

Ji Song nodded slightly: "I know, you don't have to worry."

After eating a bowl of noodles, Yan Xining's stomach has become much firmer, but he is a bit greedy for beef soup.It's a pity that the store doesn't have a spoon, so if you want to drink soup, you can only drink it with a big bowl.

Ji Song saw what Yan Xining meant, and he pushed the big bowl in front of Aning: "Drink the soup."

Yan Xining held the edge of the big bowl with both hands, and he lowered his head.At this time, he felt his nostrils itching, and he decisively put down the bowl in his hand and raised his head: "Here it is again..."

Bright red nosebleeds dripped down from Yan Xining's nostrils, Ji Song raised his head and his pupils trembled: "A-Ning! What's wrong with you, don't scare me!"

Yan Xining waved his hand and pulled out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve. He casually tore two small balls from the rice paper and stuffed them into his nasal cavity: "It's okay, it's just too dry. Drink more water and you'll be fine."

He had already had nosebleeds twice this afternoon. The weather in Liangzhou was so dry that he, who grew up in a water town, felt dehydrated.

Seeing Yan Xining happily drinking the soup with a big bowl, Ji Song felt very uncomfortable.Before coming to Liangzhou, he wanted to show Aning to see different scenery, invite him to ride a horse in Chiling Army, and eat Liangzhou delicacies.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou, Aning followed him up and down, not to mention eating delicious food, and he didn't even have time to stop and drink water.Moreover, the officialdom in Liangzhou was shaken, and it would not get better for a while. Ji Song could already predict how busy the next few days would be.

Ji Song said in shame, "A-Ning, I'm sorry."

Yan Xining put down the noodle bowl suspiciously: "Huh? Why do you have to apologize properly?"

Ji Song said guiltily: "You like rice and water. I promised you that I would not make you feel inconvenient when you come to Liangzhou, but..." The first meal in Liangzhou, Ah Ning ate Noodles, drink noodle soup.

Yan Xining smiled and said, "The noodles are delicious too. The beef noodles in Liangzhou taste really good, better than the noodles in the capital." He held the bowl with eyebrows and eyes curved: "I can eat many bowls of this kind of noodles. Besides It's not that there is no water in Liangzhou, isn't it just a drought, no matter how severe you are, you can't change the weather. Don't worry, so many people in Liangzhou can live, so can I."

After saying this, he lowered his head and took another sip of the noodle soup. In order to divert Ji Song's attention, he shook his head: "I don't know how the store's noodle soup is made. It's really delicious. When I'm done with work in the future, I must go to the store to try it." Have a taste."

How could Ji Song not know what Aning was thinking, he smiled slightly: "Okay."

At this time, Yan Xining thought of an important thing: "By the way, don't the people in Chu and Liao usually eat beef? Why do the people in Liangzhou like to eat beef noodles?" According to the memory of the original owner, beef is a relatively rare meat. People seldom eat it.Steward Leng had never delivered beef to him, and he had only eaten white-cut beef in the Yingke Building for so long in the capital.

Ji Song explained: "Most of the people near the capital raise buffaloes. The buffaloes are strong enough to help the people do farm work, so the cattle are regarded as treasures by the people. Except for high-ranking officials, the people are reluctant to eat cattle. In Liangzhou, there are Pastures, most of the cattle raised here are yellow cattle. Because of the large number and the lack of arable land in Liangzhou, it is as common for the common people to eat beef as they eat mutton.”

Yan Xining suddenly realized, and then he said happily: "Actually, I really like beef." He especially likes stewed beef brisket with potatoes. After he settles down, he must make a big pot of beef brisket with potatoes.

Speaking of stability, Yan Xining asked: "By the way, Rong Chuan, where should we live today?" Although judging by the appearance outside, they might stay all night, but there is always a time when their work is over and they should go to where?

Yan Xining was a little distressed: "I don't mind sleeping in the carriage, but Bai Tao and the others have already gone to Yongchang County..." He always felt a little out of place with all the things he used at hand in other carriages.

Ji Song smiled and said, "Actually, we have a palace in Pingchang City."

Yan Xining:? ? ?

Before Ji Song, Liangzhou also had a king.It's just that with the passage of time, those kings are gone, but the mansions where they lived have been preserved.Although Liangzhou officials don't do things for the people, they are very good at currying favor with Shangfeng.Knowing that Ji Song is coming to Liangzhou, they have already repaired the palace.

Ye Linfeng said with satisfaction: "This afternoon, I have gone to the Wangfu to explore the way for you. The house is quite good."

Yan Xining was a little puzzled: "Then why did you take me to Yongchang County?"

Ji Song's ears were slightly red: "I... have some private property in Yongchang County, and it's closer to the Chiling Army, so I think it's more convenient." If he didn't have to deal with Liangzhou officialdom, he would prefer to live in Yongchang County .Now it seems that he can only honestly live in the palace to handle official business.

Yan Xining raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's okay, as long as there is a place to live, it's fine." Whether Yongchang County or Pingchang County, they are all under the rule of Liangzhou.Where is not doing things?Where is not life?

After the two drank a large bowl of noodles with soup and water, it was time to get down to business.

Yan Xining pushed Ji Song to the front of the people, seeing Ji Song appear, the people knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed.Ji Song raised his voice and said, "Folks, it's getting late today, everyone should go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, when you go to the county government office, I assure you that your grievances will be cleared up."

Someone in the crowd said: "Yes, it's so late, even if we don't rest, the prince and princess must rest. They are exhausted, who will avenge us!"

The common people thought about it for this reason. Usually when they go to the Yamen to do business, which one of the officials doesn't sleep until the sun is up?They closed the door early again in the afternoon.But the prince and concubine have been busy since they arrived in Pingchang County today, and they are different from each other.

The voices of "My lord and concubine go back to rest." "Yes, you have to rest well" came from the crowd, but the people stood still.Ji Song understood that if they didn't leave, the people would not disperse either.

Ji Song faced the dozen or so people who helped Yan Xining write the pleadings.Surprisingly enough, these dozen or so people turned out to be young and strong guys.Ji Song said softly, "I'm sorry for today's trouble, everyone."

The dozen or so people were sincere and fearful: "Don't dare, it's an honor for the little people to do things for the princes and concubines."

Ji Song sincerely said: "I don't know if you have time tomorrow, can you go to the Yamen to continue helping?" After a pause, Ji Song added: "I won't let you work in vain, we will reward you accordingly."

The leader took a step forward, and he said seriously: "There is no need to pay, the grass people are willing to do things for the princes and concubines. The princes and concubines work for the people of Liangzhou. As Liangzhou citizens, we should obey the princes and concubines."

Ji Song smiled: "Then thank you all. It's late, you go back first, and I will trouble you tomorrow."

Standing behind the wheelchair, Yan Xining cupped his hands towards them, and said gratefully, "Thank you." If it weren't for this group of righteous men who came forward today, he and Wang Wenyue alone would not have been able to write so many papers even if their handwriting was broken.

The carriage started slowly, and the people used the torches in their hands to illuminate the road ahead of the convoy.In the sound of "rest well", Yan Xining's eyelids gradually drooped.Before the car reached the gate of the palace, Yan Xining was already fast asleep with her head resting on Ji Song's legs.

Ironically, the place where the Wangfu is located is only one street away from the Governor's Mansion.After Aning was settled, Ji Song summoned Yan Ke, Pang Wenyuan and other generals together.

When he told Yan Xining's proposal, the generals all thought it was a good idea.There is a proverb in Chu Liao that a black cat and a white cat are good if they can catch mice.In the same way, whether people or officials, as long as they can do things, they can be used.

Ji Song said in a deep voice: "Just be careful when recruiting talents, and don't let people take advantage of you." The turmoil in Liangzhou will definitely spread, and the princes in the capital want to put eyeliner in Liangzhou. It would be troublesome if spies from the enemy country mixed in.

After thinking for a while, Wu Chengkai said: "Boss, this matter is easy to handle. We just need to be confident and bold in recruiting people, and the important things are still left to our own people. The stability of Liangzhou is not a matter of a day or two. When capable people do things, it is natural They will stand out, and those who are incompetent will retreat. When Liangzhou settles down, we will slowly review the backgrounds of these people. Even if spies from enemy countries sneak in, he must first do things well before he is eligible to be reviewed."

Ji Song smiled and said, "Yes." When Liangzhou settles down, the dominant power is still in his hands.At that time, those who are capable will stay in their posts, and any problems will be eliminated directly.

Ah Ning's proposal is good, but I don't know how many people will be willing to stand up and do things for him tomorrow.
