Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

Chapter 11 First Encounter

After hearing the news of Wu Zhen's suicide, Wen Yu couldn't recover for a long time.Now that the person is dead, he doesn't want to pursue it any further. This can be regarded as an explanation for the deceased.

Wen Yu abolished exorbitant taxes as soon as he took office, and then committed this murder case.All of a sudden, the prestige of the people in Mengyang soared.Although the details of the case are unclear, it does not prevent them from making up their minds.For a while, there were a lot of story books in Mengyang City with the magistrate of Qingtian as the protagonist, and the protagonist among them was Wen Yu.

After Wen Yu learned about this, he didn't take it seriously. After all, people's lives were monotonous in this period, and there were few entertainment methods. He regarded it as having fun with the people.

Seeing that the government didn't take care of it, everyone became happier.Among them, some students wanted to flatter Wen Yu, wishing to write Wen Yu as the number one detective in ancient and modern times who punched Di Renjie and kicked Bao Qingtian.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Wen Yu came to Mengyang. During this month, people's livelihood in Mengyang has recovered a little.But compared to other counties in Chengdu Prefecture, it is still far behind.

First of all, at this time the entire Sichuan Chief Secretary is in a stage of rapid development.In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan's population, economy, and education were greatly destroyed by the previous dynasty, so Ming dictator Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the relocation of millions of people from Huguang and other places in Jiangxi.After so many years of recuperation, Sichuan is now ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the entire Daming.

Secondly, Mengyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the traffic is really inconvenient, and there are bandits infesting... Thinking of this, Wen Yu turned around and asked Zhou Wan: "Is the inspection department coming soon?"

Zhou Wan replied respectfully: "I heard that the news has been received in the past few days. I heard that the new inspector's surname is Xu. It is said that there are nearly a hundred people in the inspection department of our county."

Ever since Wen Yu broke the case of Wei Lin's murder and cleared up Zhou Wan and Zhou Cun's grievances, the two father and son are now convinced of him.Wen Yu was a little surprised when he heard that hundreds of people were brought to Mengyang by the patrol inspector. It seemed that it was different from what he had imagined. The capital might have attached great importance to this civil uprising in Mengyang.

Wen Yu's thoughts were a little confused. It just happened that there was nothing in the county in the past few days, and the official affairs were almost handled, so he discussed with Mei Hongzhi that they should go to the teahouse together.

At this time, it was autumn, but the sun was still shining brightly in Shu, and there were still many people in the teahouse.Many people are willing to spend a few pennies to beg for a bowl of tea in the teahouse. The teahouse sometimes arranges female prostitutes to sing songs, and sometimes asks storytellers to read passages.There are also some families with female relatives, and there are private rooms on the second floor for them.

Wen Yu and Mei Hongzhi originally chose to go to the second floor, but the teahouse was full, so they could only choose to compete for a seat in the hall on the first floor.The shop waiter laughed and led the two of them to the farthest corner on the east side. At this time, there were already two young men sitting at that table.

One of them is almost young, with a long beard that looks like a bearded man, and the other is much younger. When Wen Yu saw this man, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is basically the best-looking man he has ever seen since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty. man.

The man looked to be about 20 years old, with fair skin, an indifferent expression, and handsome facial features like sculptures. Even though he was sitting, he could still see that he had a bee waist and ape arms, and his towering shape.

Wen Yu thought that just because of his aura, he didn't look like a native of Mengyang, could it be the clan?In other words, based on this appearance, it is a proper debut in modern times, but I don't know whether to be an actor or a boy group...

Just as Wen Yu's thinking became more and more broad, Mei Hongzhi next to him coughed heavily, and secretly groaned in his heart, why did Mr. Wen keep staring at his face, didn't he see that he was carrying a knife in his hand? It's not the same as chopping vegetables when you are rude to chop us two frail scholars.

Wen Yu came back to her senses, and saw that although the man was still expressionless, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he quickly smiled apologetically at him.Everyone's expressions became even weirder, and the bearded man even glared at him.

Wen Yu felt a little embarrassed, and stopped talking, but concentrated on listening and speaking.

Hearing a sound of "pa", the storyteller on the stage cleared his throat: "Last time we said that Wen Yuwen county magistrate defeated the [-] Mongolian army, and was turned around by the fox demon who was practicing in the mountains outside the city." When I saw it, I suddenly felt secretly…”

"Pfft!!!" Just as Wen Yu picked up the teacup, she spit it out before swallowing.

What the hell are these, Wen Yu Wenzhi County?Isn't this him?When did he confront the Mongolian army, and the fox demon?Behind him, Mei Hongzhi was amused, and whispered to him: "Recently, this kind of story is popular in Mengyang, and the common people like to listen to it. Now Wen Yu is the common protagonist of all the stories in Mengyang."

Wen Yu was speechless, making a mistake, making a mistake. He didn't stop this unhealthy trend when it first arose, but now it's probably too late.

The bearded man sitting on the side frowned, and said with a bit of disdain: "I don't think this Magistrate Wen is anything special, but he is just a flatterer. As the saying goes, 'what is good at the top, what is good at the bottom It must be so', the folk customs in Mengyang County are indeed not correct, no wonder there will be civil disturbances."

The man next to him hadn't spoken yet.Mei Hongzhi first retorted: "What this brother said is wrong. The songs of the ancient Yun Fuxing all the way, the incense of Buddhas and thousands of families, how do you know that these are not the words from the heart of the people who love the local officials?"

Mei Hongzhi was very dissatisfied. He didn't care how the previous Mengyang officialdom was, but since he and Wen County Magistrate took office, it can be said that they have been diligent and diligent, without any slack.Now this person doesn't know anything, and he is just talking nonsense here. He will have a good reasoning with this person today.

The bearded man sneered and was about to speak.

The young man beside "Hong Yuan" stopped him lightly.Then he called the waiter to pay the bill. Before he left, he said to Wen Yu and the two of them: "My brother is outspoken, so I offended you two Haihan." After saying that, he turned around.

Looking at his back, which was as tall and straight as a green pine, Wen Yu couldn't help but sigh that although this man looked indifferent, he was unexpectedly a reasonable person, and his affection for him greatly increased in his heart.

On the second day, Wen Yu received a document saying that the people from the inspection department had arrived and were stationed 50 miles west of the city.

As the saying goes, "The magistrate who ransacked the house, the magistrate who killed the family." Although local officials like magistrates are powerful and powerful, they can't help but take the Jiupin Inspection Department seriously.

The official position of inspection began in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and it is an institution for maintaining local law and order.Although the inspection is a subordinate of the magistrate, the magistrate only has jurisdiction over the inspection and has no right to transfer, and the Mengyang inspection department has about 100 people armed, which Wen Yu may not be able to compare with, the most important thing is , The hereditary official position during the inspection, the ancestors have accumulated a certain amount of contacts for generations, which is much better than some local officials.

When Wen Yu heard that the inspection department was coming, he asked the inspection department when the inspection would come, and the person who reported said that he was already waiting outside.Wen Yu hurriedly took Mei Hongzhi and Zhou Wan to meet him.

When I got outside, I saw three tall figures standing side by side in the distance.Taking a closer look, Wen Yu couldn't help being a little surprised. The two of them were not the two from the teahouse that day.

When the two of them saw Wen Yu, they also seemed a little surprised.Especially the bearded man, after all, he speaks ill of someone behind his back, but in the end that person is right in front of his eyes.Wen Yu saw his discomfort and smiled slightly.

At this time, the other person seemed to have realized that the handsome young man saluted Wen Yu: "Xu Jing, the inspector of the next official, pay homage to the county magistrate, these two are my deputy."

The bearded man cupped his hands in embarrassment: "The next official, Wang Huike, pays homage to your lord. I have offended you before, and I hope your lords will forgive me."

Wen Yumei Hongzhi waved his hands and said it's okay.

The last day is a baby face, some people can't tell their age, but they are born with a smile.He bowed to several people: "Jiang Lei, the deputy inspector of the inspection department, was originally a native of Mengyang, and later left his hometown to make a living. It is also a few adults who ruled the people." When he saw someone, he immediately got close to him. Compared with him, Xu Jingwang Huike seemed a little dull.

Wen Yu briefly introduced Mengyang's current situation to them, and then asked Xu Jing: "I wonder what Master Xu's plan is when he first arrives in Mengyang."

Wen Yu originally wanted to care about his subordinates and ask Xu Jing if he could solve the problem of board and lodging.Unexpectedly, Xu Jing replied: "I was ordered by the court to come to Mengyang to suppress the bandits, why don't I ask Mr. Wen to tell my subordinates some details about the bandits in Mengyang."

Wen Yu was choked by him, and complained in her heart, this Daming officialdom has never heard of people who just met and started working without even greeting, how many people this inspector is going to offend.The two lieutenants behind him seemed to be used to his superior's honesty, and smiled apologetically at Wen Yu.

Sighing in her heart, Wen Yu just thought about it, whoever makes parents look good, beauty always has some privileges.He brought several of them into the second hall of the county government.

The second hall is the place where the county magistrate does his daily work, summons subordinates, conducts research and tries civil cases. The "Jianfang" is to master the county magistrate's letters and posts, while the "Zhaofang" mainly deals with inspections, ticketing, files, etc.

Wen Yu ordered someone to take out the prepared things from the imperial room, and after Xu Jing and the others were all seated, he said to them: "Please look, this is the map of the surrounding forests in Mengyang County, and the map of the surrounding areas of Mengyang." The distribution of cottages.”

I saw that the map was three or four feet long and wide, and various rivers, undulating terrain, and the location of the village were drawn in detail on it.

Seeing such a picture, Wang Huike couldn't help but smile: "With this, our suppression of bandits will be sure."

Zhou Wan said to You Rongyan from the side: "This map was drawn by our lord Wen after he took office, ordered the scribes to put together all the previous maps, and sent people to survey, and drew the results himself."

"Master Zhou..." Wen Yu helplessly stopped him from continuing, feeling that recently everyone around him has a tendency to become Yu Chuan, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that he will swell himself.

He was a little embarrassed and said to Xu Jing and the others: "Mengyang's population is limited, and if we move forward rashly, we may startle the snake, so we can only assist the patrol department from the side." Xu Jing got up and saluted him: "Wen Your lord is too modest, suppressing bandits should be the job of our inspection department, so you have helped a lot."

The author has something to say: The ballad of the lucky stars along the way, the incense of the Buddha and the family. This is what the Song people described Sima Guang, referring to the fact that officials are upright and honest and loved by the people.

Sorry for the long break, thanks to the little angels for their perseverance QAQ
