Chapter 160 Dismissed from office and imprisoned

Chapter 160 Dismissed from office and imprisoned
Just like what Prince Jin's concubine Chen Jiayu said to Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying, then Princess Jin met Lin Shuran alone, and she hoped that she could say a few more good words in front of Xu Junze. Let Lin Shuran sit at the place closest to the main seat.

Not only Prince Chun, but also the female relatives from other prefectures participating in the Huasi Banquet are mostly flattering and flattering Lin Shuran. Who doesn't know that the emperor's new decree is to fill the treasury, and none of them want to be taken advantage of.

Lin Shuran also learned from the conversation with them that the new Secretary of the Household Department had already excitedly told everyone that Si Nongsi had already found a good way to increase grain production. In the coming spring and autumn harvest, one mu of land might produce thousands of catties of grain.

Unexpectedly, the people who heard the news just laughed, mocking the new minister's whimsy. For thousands of years, it is extremely rare to produce [-] catties per mu, let alone a thousand catties per mu. The emperor must have done this for the new The purpose of the deliberate dissemination of false news by the decree is nothing more than to make everyone pay the property tax willingly.

Yes, no one actually believed that the Jin Dynasty would have grain that could produce thousands of catties per mu, and more people regarded it as the emperor's "conspiracy", whose purpose was nothing more than to deceive ignorant people and nobles who were unwilling to pay taxes.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back after the Huasi banquet, Lin Shuran had a wry smile and helplessness on her face. She spent three years improving the quality of local grain seeds in the Jin Dynasty, and she really grew high-yielding grain, but except for what she had seen with her own eyes People, other people don't believe it.

Maybe a thousand catties per mu is too outrageous for people in this time and space, so they can't believe it, no matter, as time goes by, they will always witness with their own eyes that this is not a lie at all.

With a bang, the carriage suddenly stopped as if it had knocked over something, and Lin Shuran in the carriage suddenly leaned forward, but fortunately Lingqin and Feiyue quickly protected her.

"What's going on?" Ling Qin scolded the groom coldly.

The groom who was driving the carriage immediately replied in fear and trepidation: "Ma'am, there is a beggar bumping into him, it seems——it seems that he is not moving!"

"Lingqin, go down and have a look!" Lin Shuran instructed Lingqin. By the way, she opened the curtains of the car, just in time to see a man with messy hair and dirty body lying beside her carriage, but the man was lying on his chest lying on the cold On the bluestone road, I can't see the face clearly.

Lingqin jumped out of the carriage, raised her hand and turned the man over, then squatted down and put her finger on the man's nose to test it out, then looked up at Lin Shuran who was at the window and said, "Ma'am, what's the matter?" People are still angry."

At this time, Lin Shuran also saw the man's appearance clearly, and was shocked. Isn't this the new magistrate Fei Hengfei of Shichuan County?It's been a while, why is he like this? !
It happened that there was a medical clinic nearby, Lin Shuran asked Lingqin to take Fei Heng to the medical clinic first, and she followed, after all, Fei Heng was knocked down by her carriage.

Fortunately, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Fei Heng didn't have any serious problems, but his body was too weak, he just needs to drink some soup and go back to recuperate.

After a while, Fei Heng also woke up slowly. He looked around in a daze, until Lin Shuran softly called "Master Fei", and then he fixed his eyes on Lin Shuran.

Seemingly dazed for a moment, Fei Heng realized that the woman he was talking to was Lin Shuran, the young daughter of General Xu's wife who was the imperial tutor, whom he had met in Sujiazhuang in the southern suburbs.

"Mrs. Xu, where is this?" Fei Heng propped himself up and forced himself to sit up.

"Master Fei, this is a medical clinic, why do you—" Lin Shuran looked at him, hesitating to speak, not knowing what happened to him.

Fei Heng smiled sadly, and said with a lost expression: "Mrs. Xu, please don't address me like that anymore. There is no such thing as Mr. Fei. Now I am just a commoner."

Lin Shuran was full of surprise. In Su Sanqiang's case, Fei Heng had done a great job. Even if he didn't get promoted, he wouldn't be reduced to such a level. Could it be that he made some mistakes during this period?
Seeing the doubts in Lin Shuran's eyes, Fei Heng smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "Mrs. Xu needn't be so shocked. I have already been dismissed from office and just released from prison. I offended Dingyuanhou's mansion. Now I can still save my life. It is my blessing, Fei Heng!"

Lin Shuran could hear the resentment and dissatisfaction in Fei Heng's words. He was originally a seventh-rank magistrate, but he disregarded his future and life to fight against the Su family and Marquis Dingyuan. The common people also admired this "Lord Fei".

Relying on the ability of the Dingyuanhou Mansion to deal with a seventh-rank official, it would be a piece of cake. Fei Heng offended the Dingyuanhou Mansion because he overthrew the Su family, so he ended up being dismissed from office and imprisoned. flat.

"Your body is still very weak, let me send you home first!" Fei Heng is a good official praised by the people. Lin Shuran also sympathizes with his experience and wants to help him more.

But Fei Heng shook his head again, and said: "Thank you Madam Xu for your kindness, I came to Beijing alone, where is my home now, I return to my home, I return to my home, that's all, that's all, let's be buried wherever I go !"

Lin Shuran didn't expect Fei Heng to be so disheartened by this blow. It would be a pity if the common people lost such a good official. After thinking about it, she said to Fei Heng: "Even so, your current physical condition is not suitable. Walk around more, how about this, there is a shop of the Xu family on this street, you go to the backyard of the shop to rest for a few days, wait until you feel better, and then decide where to go. Thanks to you, Mr. Fei, you were able to bring wicked people like Su Sanqiang to justice , to eliminate harm for the people, please don’t refuse.”

Faced with Lin Shuran's kindness, Fei Heng was very grateful. He studied poetry and books for several years and was determined to obtain fame. He vowed to be a good official for the country and the people. , although he was not promoted, he has done a lot for the common people, which is enough in his opinion. Only a high official can do practical things for the common people.

It's a pity that he has nowhere to spill his blood. People like Dingyuan Hou Wei Qianjie who use power for personal gain and disrupt the government can run rampant in the Jin Dynasty. It is really a disaster for the Jin Dynasty and a disaster for the people.

In the end, Fei Heng was persuaded by Lin Shuran to live temporarily in the backyard of Xu's pharmacy. After Lin Shuran told Jin Liu to take good care of him, he got into the carriage and went back to the General's Mansion.

It was rare for Xu Junze to return to the residence today, he didn't seem to have had a good rest outside, so he went back to his room after dinner.

Lin Shuran thought he had gone to bed first, but when she came to the inner room, she found him sitting on a chair in his middle coat, as if he was specially waiting for her to come back.
