Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 599 Lin Yanei began to work hard

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The strong wind made the doors and windows rattle, and they entered the house through the cracks in the door. The flames in the brazier in the house were suppressed by the wind so that they only danced on the surface of charcoal.

Lin San hurriedly moved the brazier into the house, and poked the coals with a brass chisel: "It's so cold this year!"

Li Yan's whole body was warm, and he didn't feel cold at all, but he noticed that the servants at home were shaking slightly, and said, "Get some more charcoal."

Lin Sandao: "The old charcoal is almost used up, I'm going to prepare new charcoal."

Not long after, Lin San and the others became busy in the courtyard.

The open fire of charcoal is too strong, and direct lighting will fill the house with smoke, so smoke must be released in the courtyard in advance before it can be put into the hand stove and foot stove.

Li Yan got up and came under the eaves, looking at the cloudy sky, he frowned slightly.

This year's weather is indeed quite cold. For the Lin family, the consumption of firewood and charcoal is nothing. There is always hot water in the kitchen and the stove is not turned off. But the life of ordinary people in Beijing may be difficult.

While Lin San and the others were busy, they were looking forward to it: "The winter solstice is coming soon, so it's time to wear new clothes and have a good festival!"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Yes, the winter solstice must be a good festival."

In the Song Dynasty, Winter Solstice, Yuanzheng and Cold Food were the three major annual festivals, and Bianjing was the most important festival. , The official releases the Guanpu, and celebrates the exchange, just like the New Year's Day."

The winter solstice is as big as a new year. It is not an exaggeration. At this time, there is a festive atmosphere up and down. The kitchen is also making chaos, which is the dumplings eaten by later generations on the winter solstice. The dumplings are filled with round skin, half-moon shape, bulging in the middle, and pointed at both ends.

In comparison, Li Yan actually prefers to eat "馉饳 (gǔ duò)". He adopts the method of making chaos, but kneads it into the shape of a flower bud waiting to be released. In the end, it is not boiled, but deep-fried in a frying pan. , Skewered with bamboo sticks to eat.

Just as he was thinking about it, a scent wafted over, and he saw Lin Yuanjing walking in beamingly with a food box in his hand: "Erlang, the big fish and glutinous rice in Liu's shop is your favorite, I will give it to you when I come back." You brought it."

Li Yan took it, and opened the food box to see that it was a flower-shaped scorpion. This shop got fresh fish from the shore, chopped the meat into the stuffing, added a little leek and oil, and wrapped each one with its own flavor. The size of a child's fist, there are only six in it, but they can eat very full and hearty.

And thinking that Liu's shop didn't come back from the Forbidden Army Camp on the way, but just passing by when he came home from the imperial city, Li Yan was happier than eating delicious food: "It seems that my father's official position has been confirmed, and the contribution of Wuyou Cave has finally come. All down."

Lin Yuanjing's smile was restrained, and he sighed: "After so long, I finally came down. Your Uncle Zhang and I almost broke our legs running in the Sanya. The families of the casualties of the Imperial Army have to thank you for your help." Help each other, otherwise they won't be able to wait..."

Li Yan didn't take it seriously: "This is not deliberately making things difficult. The efficiency of every department is like this. It doesn't make sense that it's our turn to speed up suddenly... What official has father been promoted this time? Has he entered the top class?"

Lin Yuanjing waved his hands again and again: "I don't have side merits, but only the current merits, how can I be qualified to be in the top class?"

When it comes to the army of the Song Dynasty, later generations often think of the Privy Council, but in fact, the direct military institution for the national army is not the Privy Council, but the Sanya.

The commanders and envoys of the Dianqian Division, the Guards Horse Army, and the Guards Infantry are collectively called the "Three Yas". , is the top general position in the army.

Below it is the Hengban. Among the millions of troops in the Song Dynasty, there are only [-] high-ranking generals, but the official rank is not high, only the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and below that are the palace envoys, small envoys, and ambassadors Chen, that is, the generals and schools of the middle and lower ranks, from the eighth rank to the seventh rank.

Lin Yuanjing's promotional officer was originally a seventh-rank official, and he already belonged to the middle-level generals according to his rank, but he had no corresponding dispatch and was very marginalized. On the one hand, it was because of Lin Yuanjing's cautious and mediocre character that it was difficult to make progress in officialdom On the other hand, it was also because it was difficult for warriors in the Northern Song Dynasty to be promoted, and there were many cases where generals were robbed of credit, or even directly erased.

At this moment, Lin Yuanjing sighed again: "Speaking of Hengban, I just happened to meet Commander Zhong. The old Lieutenant Zhong didn't get into Hengban in the past, so what can I expect from that position?"

The old Taiwei Zhong refers to the famous Kansai general Zhong Shiheng. The Yang family is famous on the opera stage, but in fact in the official history, the Zhong family army created by Zhong Shiheng is much more important than the Yang family general. But it is such a pioneering figure who was hailed by Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others as a famous general alongside Di Qing. The official rank that he worked hard for all his life was only the seventh rank, and his meritorious deeds were embezzled and withheld.

This is normal. Di Qing was the only one who fell into Renzong's eyes and became the emperor's confidant, and was quickly promoted. Li Yan asked, "Then the father joined the Fourth Army?"

Lin Yuanjing said: "Your Uncle Zhang joined the Dragon Guard of the Fourth Army, and I joined the squads in front of the palace as the commander of the Golden Spear Squad."

Banzhi is the collective name of "the squads in front of the palace" and "Zhuzhi of Yulong". Seriously, the amount of money left but the lack of soldiers, the number of living people under his command may be less than half, but he is a real mid-level general after all.

Li Yan checked the attributes, and found that the family background attribute was indeed improved, and he cupped his hands to congratulate: "Congratulations to my father, and congratulations to my son for being honored by his father. I will be called a yamen when I go out in the future."

Lin Yuanjing couldn't laugh or laugh, and joked: "That's unbearable, now everyone in Beijing doesn't know that I am your father, and the three yamen have given me some face. With your Lin Erlang's ability, if you want to be promoted, you can't compare it to being your father." It came quickly? This time you wiped out the Worriless Cave, and you let me get it for nothing... It's just a pity..."

In the end, he fell silent and looked gloomy.

It's a pity who it is, it goes without saying.

The name of Gongsun Zhao has now gradually become a taboo in the capital, and Lin Yuanjing is even more aware that he was able to be dispatched by the real power and become the commander of the squad because the court intended to use it in the battle to wipe out Wuyoudong. Gongsun Zhao's personal credit was downplayed and distributed to himself and Zhang Bofen.

Thinking about it this way, the excitement of being promoted faded away.

Li Yan didn't think so.

After he had an accurate understanding of this world, he immediately lowered his expectations. In this way, it would be very good if he could get the credit for Wuyoudong.

If it weren't for the excitement of the crowd, and the fact that after the thief was caught out of Wuyou Cave, he paraded all the way through the streets, and the people in the whole city had witnessed it. They would have known who entered the cave to kill the thief, and the credit would have been snatched away by the rich and powerful , even Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen couldn't get their turn.

So what Li Yan cared about was the commander Lin Yuanjing just mentioned: "Is the commander my father met the commander Zhong Shihao who guarded the Queen Mother in the Daxiangguo Temple?"

Lin Yuanjing nodded: "It's him. Because of the responsibility for the assassination of the Queen Mother, he has been demoted to a commoner. If there is no family to protect him, he might be arrested and tortured in the Imperial City Department..."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Imperial City Division is once again in charge of the servants. It seems that in this dynasty, their sense of presence will become stronger."

The Empress Dowager Xiang was obviously killed on Zhao Ji's birthday, but it turned out that she died a few days late, and in order to curb the rumors in the city, the Imperial City Secretary was dispatched directly.

Yang Jian and Lan Congxi, the new officials of the Imperial City Division, led the team together and arrested people in the capital. Whoever dared to spread rumors about the death of the Empress Dowager was immediately arrested in the Imperial City Division's prison. It also suppressed the atmosphere of discussion on the surface.

But in fact, the people in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty were used to spreading news. How could this kind of human relations tragedy, which is more explosive than the sound of candle shadows and axes, not be discussed?

At first, everyone didn't believe it. After all, the official family had a good reputation before, and the empress dowager was also a loving mother and filial son. People instinctively didn't want to believe the rumors of killing their mother, but after being caught by the Imperial City Secretary, the storm could not pass Now, the public opinion is gradually changing.

Are you guilty of being a thief?

Li Yan can tell them responsibly: Yes!
Speaking of this matter, Lin Yuanjing's expression suddenly became serious: "Now the Imperial City Secretary is not only cruel to those who lie about the Queen Mother, but also the daring rebel 'Zuo Ming', the Kaifeng government office invites you to go Is the consultant arrested?"

Li Yandao: "After Ding Gongshi was promoted to judge, he didn't pursue evidence, so the efficiency of handling cases became very high. What's more, the Kaifeng government office is different from the imperial city department. They won't invite me to deal with 'Zuo Ming'."

Lin Yuanjing's face was soothed: "That's good, this person is no small matter, don't cause trouble, and deal with it..."

Li Yan nodded in a rare way: "Okay."

When it comes to "Zuo Ming", what amuses him the most is that thanks to the publicity of the government, this person has become a household name in the capital, and in the attribute column, there is actually more reputation for this identity.
