Touring the Ming Dynasty

The Emperor Longjia finally passed Yangzhou, did not stop at other places, and drove directly back to the Forbidden City. When the news of His Majesty's safe return to Beijing came, the letter of appointment that Duan Fei was looking forward to was also delivered to him.

"Duan Fei, a person from Baoying County, Yangzhou, is extremely intelligent. During his tenure, he repeatedly solved murder cases. He exposed the conspiracy of Japanese pirates in Hai'an Town. There are more than a hundred people, Duan Fei has made great contributions, and now that Jiangxi is plagued by banditry and there are many cases, Duan Fei is specially awarded the post of Jiangxi Prosecutor and Prosecutor Si Qianshi, and he will take up the post immediately, I respect you!"

With this letter of appointment, Duan Fei took Shi Bin and Guo Wei away from Baoying under the welcome of the people, officials and his little brothers in the whole city. The boy is also very sensible. He is studying hard under the guidance of the newly hired private school teacher. There are also those who don't like reading and love practicing martial arts. Duan Fei directly sent them to the Yangzhou Branch of the Beijing-Hangzhou Bodyguard Bureau. There is no problem with a little thing.

When Duan Fei visited Yangzhou, he went to see the judge Xie Zhijun. Xie Zhijun was very moved by his strange encounter. Duan Fei also met Mr. Shi, but unfortunately the Yue brothers were not there when they were dredging. These people are all the young policemen he fell in love with when he was in Hai'an Town. Those who have survived the cruel battlefield will not be cowards. Duan Fei doesn't need them to be too smart. What he needs is obedient and willing people. As a stranger in a foreign land, the more familiar and trustworthy people around me, the better.

Mr. Shi readily agreed, but this was not an order from the imperial court, but a personal invitation from Duan Fei. It was up to those guys whether they were willing to leave their hometowns and go to Jiangxi.

Duan Fei left 2000 taels of silver bills as travel expenses for those guys, as well as the daily expenses of the Yue brothers, and also as gratitude to Mr. Shi.

This time, Mr. Shi was not polite to him, and revealed that if he had the chance, he would also like to serve under Duan Fei. , The group of people who also contributed to the suppression of the Japanese have no news yet. What does this mean?Legend has it that Duan Fei met a nobleman, and calculating the whereabouts of that person, the answer is very obvious. Duan Fei is young and promising, and his future success is just around the corner. Naturally, Mr. Shi hopes to tie himself to Duan Fei, the soaring and rising star. on the rocket.

Duan Fei went to Bao Daxiang after coming out of the Yangzhou government office. The old shopkeeper Zhang also heard about Duan Fei's promotion. He happily congratulated Duan Fei repeatedly. Unfortunately, I don’t know if this trip is a blessing or a curse. I came to Bao Daxiang to hope that you can help me make something. It’s best to invite all the masters. I want to offer a reward for helping me make this thing. People will get ten thousand taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Zhang was not very surprised. He led Duan Fei to the back workshop, and called all the craftsmen to Duan Fei. Duan Fei began to talk about what he needed.

"The thing I need is called transparent glue..." Duan Fei explained to everyone, but unfortunately Bao Daxiang is a handicraft workshop, not a chemical laboratory. Duan Fei had no choice but to encourage everyone to brainstorm and ask others, especially people from Nanyang... In short, if you can get what Duan Fei needs, then 1 taels is indispensable.

With a little regret and a lot of expectation, Duan Fei left Yangzhou, went up the Shuo River of the Yangtze River, then passed Nanjing and Anqing to Poyang Lake, and then followed the Zhangjiang River (the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River was called Zhangjiang in ancient times) to Nanchang.

This section of the journey lasted more than two days. Fortunately, the boat can sleep, and the scenery along the way is picturesque, and the journey is very refreshing. Tang Bohu wrote more than ten new poems and drew a few sketches in Dalian. After throwing away the burden in his heart, he Duan Fei's spirit is much better than when Duan Fei first met, his face has lost all color, and his face becomes flushed, as if the time has come and gone.

After entering Nanchang City, Duan Fei immediately went to visit the chief of the yamen of the procuratorial envoy. At the beginning of the rebellion, King Ning almost killed all the officials above the fifth rank in Jiangxi Province and Nanchang Prefecture, and the rest were also imprisoned. After King Ning was put to death, they were all dismissed due to dereliction of duty. Now almost all the officials in Jiangxi are newcomers. Among them, Duan Fei's immediate boss, Wu Wending, the Jiangxi procuratorate and procuratorate, was the one who followed Wang Shouren to quell the rebellion of King Ning. One of the heroes.

Although Wu Wending is a literati, he has a rough and bold air. Although he felt that it was inappropriate for Duan Fei to be specially appointed as a fifth-rank official from a commoner, but after seeing the words in Duan Fei's resume that he solved murder cases and made meritorious service in bloody battles with Japanese pirates, he immediately disagreed. He changed his face and introduced Duan Fei the two deputy historians and several other things, and immediately arranged a job for him.

"Jiangxi is simply a den of thieves. There are countless criminal cases backlogged. You came just in time. Fushi Ji's desk has a backlog of criminal cases. Go over and help him clean it up." Wu Wending looked at Duan Fei as if watching There is a gold ingot. Although he is a civil servant, he likes to do military affairs and is not good at solving crimes. If he is transferred to the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, maybe he will be more at home. When he came to this prison and procuratorate, Si Ke was blind in both eyes. Well, according to the two deputy historians of the procuratorate, the officials are not smart, they only follow the routine procedures to handle cases, which is very inefficient, and the accumulation of cases is increasing, and now there is a "solve cases like a god" His subordinates, he was overjoyed.

Duan Fei felt both helpless and lucky to meet such a stunned boss. I only came to report the helpless one. You didn't even arrange a berth for me, so you beat me to do things. Are you sorry?The good thing is that this boss seems to be very dependent on me. Even if I do something wrong in the future, as long as it is not a big mistake, there will be a superior to protect me. This is good news for me who has just entered the officialdom.

Now that there is a Shangguan covering him, Duan Fei is not polite. After he quit, he did not go directly to the deputy secretary Ji Jinxing, but ran out of the Yamen Gate and asked Huang Suliang, who followed him to Nanchang, to find an inn near the Yamen to accommodate everyone. Son, and then go to find a suitable house to live in.

Although there is a rule that yamen officials must live in the yamen, but those who really implement this rule are officials who want to save money. According to the practice of Ming Dynasty, Duan Fei estimates that he will have to stay in Jiangxi for three years. Living in the back yamen is a bit restrictive. , I still have 6 to [-] taels of silver bills in my pocket, and I can still afford to buy a house.

After dealing with these matters, Duan Fei took Guo Wei and Shi Bin into the yamen of the procuratorial envoy, and found the Deputy Shi Ji Jinxing, who was buried in the high case file. After seeing Duan Fei, he immediately arranged for him. A single office room, this room has two entrances, facing south and facing north, outside the door and window is a small garden, with jagged rockery and gurgling water, shaded by green trees and flowers blooming like brocades, compared to what Duan Fei saw by Chashi and Ji Fu The place where Shi works should be quiet and spacious.
