Chapter 221 Killing prisoners (1)(1/2)
"Xiao Yi is leaving?"
Chen Dong put down his chopsticks and looked surprised, "Why did you suddenly leave?"
On the dining table, there was a silence. It was the second day of visiting Huang Shang, and Chen Dong happened to visit Yuyin's house.
At the dinner table, Yu Yin said that he might have left Tokyo, which surprised Chen Dong and others. However, An Daoquan had learned in advance and was calm. But for Chen Dong and Zhang Zeduan, the news was a bit sudden.
Yu Yin smiled, picked up the dishes, and took a sip of wine.
"But it was too popular and was envied by people.
Now, the list of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly is rumored in the streets and alleys was promoted by me, and Bai Shizhong and others were even dismissed. Do you think they would let me go easily? If so, how should their face be preserved? If they stay in Tokyo, they will sooner or later be framed. Not to mention that I am a white person, even if I am above the temple, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.
My uncle thought that he had evil to many people in his family and should avoid the limelight.
It just so happened that the official wanted to reset the Yingfeng Bureau in Hangzhou, and there was a real lack of a chief supervisor. The crown prince had previously said that it would not be wrong to be a chief supervisor of Yingfeng Bureau with me, Wen Linlang, and to be the chief supervisor of Yingfeng Bureau. So he discussed with me and asked me to take office."
In fact, it is difficult for Yu Yin to nourish his body, so it is difficult for him to enter the officialdom according to principles.
Wen Linlang is more of a kind of identity and a status that is not very useful. Yu Yin has no fame, so how can he be a real person?
Since the Song Dynasty, we have emphasized literature over military affairs.
The position of Duguan sounds good, an eighth-rank military officer, but who is willing to take responsibility for the children of officials with fame or deep background? This is clearly a promising position. Scholars disdain to do it.
Not to mention, Yingfeng Bureau’s reputation is not very good. It is an institution that may be replaced at any time.
Anyone with some backbone who is really willing to be the ruling master is actually a lackey of the royal family.
What Zhu Xie did in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau has really made many people feel dissatisfied.
Therefore, no one is willing to take on such a seemingly popular position. If Yu Yin had not caused too much trouble this time and had to leave Tokyo to avoid the limelight, Huang Shang probably wouldn't have agreed to him to take up this position.
After Yu Yin finished speaking, she thought it was over.
But Chen Dong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
He sat there without saying a word for a while.
Yu Yin couldn't help but wonder. "What's going on in Shaoyang?"
It was an ordinary question, but when Chen Dong thought of it, he suddenly burst into tears, "I harmed Xiao Yi, I harmed Xiao Yi!"
Yu Yin was stunned.
Zhang Zeduan sighed and said softly: "Xiao Yi was imprisoned before. Shaoyang was afraid of disaster, so he was told by Lei Guan, a student in the Imperial Academy, and spread rumors in the market, trying to increase Xiao Yi's reputation and make Bai Thief and others afraid of the mouse.
But I didn't expect that this rumor later turned into Xiao Yi's mastermind who promoted the release of that list... Xiao Yi came out of prison and thought he was peaceful, but he didn't expect it... I had advised Shaoyang before. Xiu Xiu had too many dates with Lei Guan people. But Shaoyang was really anxious at that time and refused to listen to the advice, but Xiao Yi..."
Zhang Zeduan's speech was vague, but his general meaning was clearly expressed.
Yu Yin was also very surprised because he never expected that the person who caused this result would be Chen Dong.
It is obviously a bit too much to say that Chen Dong is the culprit. Because no matter whether Chen Dong creates rumors or not, Bai Shizhong and others cannot give up with Yu Yin. After all, the Song Dynasty Times Weekly was created by him, and if the list leaked, there was no responsibility for Yu Yin, and it was also related to him. More importantly, the persimmons must be pinched with soft ones! In the Song Dynasty Times Weekly, in addition to Yu Yin, no matter which one they want to move, they may cause conflicts.
There is no need to say anything about Li Ruoshui, a group of people from the Imperial Academy.
Behind Gao Yaoqing is Gao Qiu, and behind Gao Qiu is Emperor Huizong. Even if Emperor Huizong is a little dissatisfied with Gao Qiu, it does not hinder Gao Qiu's identity and status; Zhu Xuan? Not to mention it! The people of the old Zhu family are not soft persimmons.
Therefore, no matter whether Chen Dong is causing trouble, Yu Yin will be plotted sooner or later.
After hearing Zhang Zeduan's words, Yu Yin was not angry, but was moved a little.
He reached out and hugged Chen Dong, and said softly: "Shaoyang don't blame yourself. What does this matter have to do with you? What should we do after all will come. In fact, I have already prepared for it. But there is one thing that I want to blame you... Shaoyang, you are upright and a gentleman. A person with a temperament like you should not be entangled with some people, and they will be used by others sooner or later."
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yu Yin.
After a while, he whispered: "Don't Xiao Yi blame me for being troublesome?"
"Ha, I'm not the one who doesn't know anything about it. Shaoyang had a good intention, so how could I blame you?"
Chen Dong smiled!
He sat down and remained silent, as if he was thinking about things.
It was Yu Yin and Zhang Zeduan and An Daoquan who kept persuading him, but he kept saying nothing.
After a long time, Chen Dong suddenly raised his head and seemed to have made a decision, "Xiao Yi, I'll accompany you to Hangzhou."
"ah?"
Yu Yin was shocked and hurriedly looked at Chen Dong.
Zhang Zeduan was also surprised and said softly: "Shaoyang thinks twice, and now you are about to leave the world. If you go to Hangzhou with Xiao Yi, wouldn't it be useless to waste your previous efforts?"
But Chen Dong sighed.
"I have known Xiao Yi for half a year.
At first, my family looked down on Xiao Yi, and always felt that Xiao Yi was just a little talent and could not bear big things. But later, these things happened one by one, but my family felt deeply. Especially the masterpiece of the Song Dynasty Weekly made me feel even more ashamed. I just felt that even if I sat in the Imperial Academy all day, I would just be fake knowledge. Like Xiao Yi, I was considered real knowledge... Lei Guan and others disdained to be classmates with him. So I asked a false statement with Mr. Ruobing. When Xiao Yi went to Hangzhou, I would go together and have more knowledge.
It’s not too late to get back to the exam again.”
Chen Dong said it very firmly and did not allow Yu Yin to refuse at all.
Until he said goodbye and left, Yu Yin didn't feel reminiscent, and felt a little confused.
Chen Dong is so good. He is about to pass the imperial examination, but suddenly he wants to take a leave and go to Hangzhou with him?
Could this guy have ruined his head?
After all, it was not a little advantage for him to follow Yu Yin to Hangzhou, and he could only delay the whole year. Moreover, he seemed to be going to be a staff member of Yu Yin, which made Yu Yin a little at a loss. In his heart, Yu Yin hoped that Chen Dong could walk with him! In this way, after he went to Hangzhou, he could have someone around him who could talk and communicate.
But if this is the case, wouldn’t it delay Chen Dong’s future?
After seeing off Chen Dong, Yuyin couldn't help but hold Zhang Zeduan back, "How did Shaoyang make this decision?"
Zhang Zeduan heard this and smiled, "Xiao Yi, don't mind, Shaoyang is this temper... If you don't let him accompany you, he will feel uneasy. For him, although it may take a year's delay, it can offset his guilt.
Haha, let him go with you.
To be honest, I also had this idea, but I was snatched from Shaoyang first..."
Yu Yin was stunned, "Does your brother want to walk with me too?"
Zhang Zeduan smiled and said, "I'm not hiding Xiao Yi. This time I returned to Tokyo, and I originally wanted to re-enter the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting to re-enter the old business. But who expected that there has been no news from the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. It is not easy to live in Tokyo. If I don't find another way out, I'm afraid that Xiao Yi will not be able to pay the money for the next year. I originally thought that if there is no news, I would go back to my hometown.
But after hearing Xiao Yi's words, I couldn't help but fall in love with the beautiful scenery on the banks of Xizi Lake, so I wanted to go with Xiao Yi with Xiao Yi...
His own talent and knowledge are not as good as Shaoyang, nor are he as talented as Xiao Yi.
But I can barely take responsibility for writing and painting. Xiao Yi wants to be the chief supervisor, but I think he still lacks a secretary."
Yu Yin nodded subconsciously.
But he immediately came back and realized the meaning of Zhang Zeduan's words.
Chen Dongfang just said that he wanted to go to Hangzhou with him, but Zhang Zeduan's words were even more straightforward and wanted to be a Yu Yin's aide.
According to Huang Shang's statement about the situation of the Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, Yu Yin generally also has some understanding of it.
The newly established Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau is still mainly to collect strange flowers, stones, famous trees and fruits from all over the southeast, and to worship the royal family. However, the power of Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau is far inferior to that of Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau at the time, and even some expenses have to be solved by themselves. Compared with the grand occasion of the "small court in the southeast" when Zhu Xie took charge of Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, the newly established Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau is simply a stepmother. The newly appointed person to take charge of Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau was Li Jian, the governor of Hangzhou, who was born as a Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe. Because he eviled Cai Jing and his son, he was expelled from Kaifeng.
Previously, the Hangzhou magistrate was named Cai Jing, and he was the son of Cai Jing.
Relying on Cai Jing's power, this person abused the people and harmed the government in Hangzhou. It was full of complaints among the people, and people called Cai Jing the "Cai Hu".
Such a cruel and tyrannical figure was last year, at the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe, who traveled with others to the shore of Xizi Lake, and was assassinated by a hero and died on the spot. Li Jian didn't know how he had good luck after leaving, so he took over the vacancies of the Hangzhou prefect.
However, judging from his appointment as the Yingfeng Bureau of Hangzhou, he does not seem to be a favored official.
Huang Shang said: "Li Zhi is a timid man and still likes elegance.
Although he could not bear the heavy responsibility, he had no evil thoughts. Xiao Yi went to Hangzhou and just made friends with him, and he would not be embarrassed."
The chief supervisor of the Yingfeng Bureau of Hangzhou is actually the bodyguard who escorted Hua Shigang on the water and land.
The chief supervisor is the military supervisor, and it was often appointed as eunuchs at first. After the Song Dynasty, the position of chief supervisor changed, including the "Lu" chief supervisor, the "Zhoufu" chief supervisor, etc. Among them, the "Lu" chief supervisor is in charge of the garrison, training and other affairs of the imperial guards on the road; the "Zhoufu" chief supervisor is responsible for the garrison, training, military equipment and service affairs of the city's army.
The Yingfeng Bureau chief supervisor was not under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, and was only obeyed by the Yingfeng Bureau.
However, since Yu Yin does not have any qualifications, even if he takes up the position of Chief Supervisor, he can only be called "custodian".
He may have soldiers between 300 and 800 people under his command, and is responsible for protecting the safety of Huashigang.
In other words, it is the chief military officer of Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau.
Since he is the chief military officer, he can be equipped with some staff secretary to be responsible for daily affairs.
Of course, the salary of this staff secretary is not obtained from the court, but is solved by the governor himself. According to the authority of the eighth-rank military position of the "denomin", Yuyin can have one secretary, one chief clerk, and a total of 30 personal soldiers.
After Yu Yin came out of Huang Shang's house, he was thinking about the issue of the candidates for staff.
But he didn't expect that before he came up with a suitable person, Zhang Zeduan volunteered to take responsibility.
"Brother, why bother you..."
Zhang Zeduan waved his hand, and a look of loss and gloomy expression appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Don't advise me, I will stay in Tokyo and I will beg for the streets sooner or later. I don't have the talent of Liu Sanbian, nor can I have the ability to govern the country and maintain peace. What I have in my life is just calligraphy and painting... But these calligraphy and paintings will not last long, and I always have to find a stable life.
I have known Xiao Yi for more than ten years, but I have secretly observed that Xiao Yi has great luck and will sooner or later become successful. If you don’t vote at this time, you will miss the opportunity when you vote again in the future. After thinking about it, you can only ask Xiao Yi for your favor."
Zhang Zeduan, that is also a proud and arrogant person.
Being able to say this can be said to be sincere and makes Yu Yin even more unable to refuse.
To be continued...
