Chapter 304 Zhu Qiyu’s true purpose

Chapter 304

Lin Cunde and Lin Cunren were walking on the field path and chatting. Lin Cunde asked Lin Cunren to collect the field deeds!

When Lin Cunren heard what Lin Cunde said, he could only put it away and said: "Well, I also know that it is not easy for you outside, but you have money, so buy some things for yourself!"

"Well, I've been taking care of things. I'll leave all the family matters to you!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded.

At the door of Lin Cunde's house, Lin Xianglong originally wanted to have dinner with Lin Cunde and the others, but when he saw Lin Cunde and Lin Cunren chatting in the distance, he stopped shouting and let the two brothers chat for a while!

Lin Cunde is very busy now, and he knows it!

Tomorrow I have to go to my grandparents’ house and rest at my grandma’s house. I don’t know how many days there will be!

Moreover, people come to visit the family every day. If Lin Cunde has not seen him for the past few days, it will be bad if he continues to disappear. After all, they are all fellow villagers, and they are all scholars!

Lin Cunde and Lin Cunren chatted outside for almost three quarters of an hour before they went back and continued to their uncle's house for dinner!

After dinner, Lin Cunde chatted with his relatives at home, and then returned to his old house. Qiu Shuang came here and received great respect. He also followed Lin Cunde to his uncle's house for dinner!

Lin Cunde arrived at the tea room, and Qiu Shuang and the others also started to add more candles in the tea room to make the tea room brighter. Lin Cunde took the Di newspaper and looked at it, and there was also some news about Zhejiang sent by Jin Yiwei.

In addition, there are reports sent by Wang Zhi and Chen Zhao every day.

Lin Cunde wanted to read it, and even wrote to Zhu Qiyu to report on the new policy.

At Peng Shi's home in Anfu County, Peng Shi was already at home with Ding You. At this moment, in his home, the magistrate of Anfu County, the magistrates of the other two counties, and several judicial officials were all in Peng Shi. At home.

They wanted to entrust Peng Shi to go to Lin Cunde's hometown and take them with him.

In fact, Peng Shi and Lin Cunde had a normal relationship. The only previous confrontation was the rumor. Otherwise, Peng Shi and Lin Cunde basically had no intersection. Peng Shi and Lin Cunde's father had no contact before, although the two families were less than a year apart. Hundreds of miles!

But there are too many officials and students in Ji'an Mansion. If they really want to move around, they can't move around. In addition, Lin Cunde's father is just a seventh-grade censor, and he is over forty, while Peng Shi is At the age of thirty-two, he passed the first prize and entered the Imperial Academy for just over a year before joining the cabinet.

It didn't take long for Ding You to return to his hometown this time.

"We also ask Mr. Chun Dao to go to Luling Hou's mansion. We want to see him, but he can't be seen! Mr. Chun Dao was in the cabinet before and knew Luling Hou. We also hope that you can help us. I heard that Luling Hou A large number of officials were arrested in Zhejiang, and many officials' homes were ransacked. If the Marquis of Luling did the same thing in Jiangxi or Ji'an, everyone would have no way to survive, and a large number of people would be implicated, Mr. Chun Dao , this time we can only rely on you, and other people can't speak in front of the Marquis of Luling!" The magistrate of Anfu County said to Peng Shi, whose words were pure.

Now Peng Shi has no official position. Everyone originally wanted to call Peng Shi the elder, but Peng Shi refused. He is now at home in Dingyou, so it is inappropriate to call him elder!

"Yes, please ask Mr. Chun Dao to go and speak for us. In fact, we don't know if we have any problems, but we are afraid!" Another county magistrate looked at Peng Shi and said.

"I heard that there is only one county magistrate left in Hangzhou Prefecture, and all the other county magistrates have had their homes confiscated. The Marquis of Luling's visit to Zhejiang and Jiangxi this time will cost lives!" The magistrate of Anfu County continued to persuade Peng Shi.

Peng Shi was also extremely depressed at this moment. They thought that he was an official in the capital and a cabinet minister, but he was not enough in front of Lin Cunde!

So what if I get the top prize? What about cabinet ministers? Who is Lin Cunde? Admiral of the Fifth Military Camp, Right Commander of the Rear Army, Marquis of Luling, Zhu Qiyu's sister-in-law, and the adopted son of the Empress Dowager, any identity is beyond his reach!

Moreover, because of Wang Ying's incident, he had offended Lin Cunde before!

I was going to Lin Cunde's hometown, not to intercede, but to visit!

Moreover, Ding You was at home and could not visit him. He could only visit outside. He didn't know whether Lin Cunde had seen him or not!

My level is not high enough to be Green Cunde to come out to greet him!

But now these people come to see me, and I can't help but give face, and I can't tell the truth to them!

The most important thing is that I don't know how those officials are doing and whether they have committed corruption. How can I tell them?

What if the three people in front of me are all on Lin Cunde's arrest list? If he goes there by himself, isn't he going to die? When the time comes, Lin Cunde will investigate himself to see if he has any beneficial dealings with them. Will this cost his life?

It has only been two years since I passed the first prize, so is my career over?

"Mr. Chun Dao, please help me!" Seeing that Peng Shi didn't speak, the three county magistrates all stood up and bowed to Peng Shi.

Peng Shi looked at them and wanted to curse, but now that Ding You was at home, he couldn't offend the local magistrate. Although he was not afraid of him, he had relatives at home. When he was not at home, the county magistrate would come to trick his family from time to time. , I can’t stand it, and who knows who else is behind this county magistrate?

Especially in Ji'an Mansion, maybe this person's cousin is an official in the court. Wouldn't he make enemies for himself?

"I will go and speak for you, but you also need to know that I am only a fifth-rank official. Now I am not enough to see you in front of the Marquis of Luling. In addition, the Marquis of Luling returns home to visit his relatives, so there may not be talks. It's official business, so if I go, I may not have the chance to mention your affairs, and I may not even be able to see the Marquis of Luling!

Don’t be surprised. I was a cabinet minister, and the Marquis of Luling would give me face. Even the chief and assistant ministers of the cabinet, the Marquis of Luling, would sometimes disappear!

"Ah?" The three of them looked at Peng Shi in surprise. "It's true. Compared to us civil servants, the Marquis of Luling is much higher than us. If he doesn't see us, there's nothing we can do!" Peng Shi looked at them helplessly and said.

One of the county magistrates raised his hands to Peng Shi and said: "As long as Mr. is gone, that's fine! If you have the opportunity to speak for us, we will be grateful. If there is no chance, we will also be grateful. There is nothing we can do!"

"Yes, yes!" the other two county magistrates nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll go in two days. The Marquis of Luling will definitely not have time in these two days. After all, he hasn't returned to his hometown for many years. Now that he has returned, there must be many relatives who need to visit. Therefore, I will go in these two days. It will only cause chaos to the Marquis of Luling, and it will also cause the Marquis of Luling to be unhappy. Just wait for two days!" Peng Shi said to them.

They nodded too.

After Peng Shi sent them off, he also sighed. He came back. Lin Cunde was an earl. Who would have thought that Lin Cunde defeated Wala in the battle at Shanhaiguan and was therefore made a marquis!

When I was in the capital before, I had no contact with Lin Cunde. At that time, I felt a little disdain for Lin Cunde!

After Lin Cunde became an earl, he had no chance to get close because he had already offended him by then!

Now that I have been granted the title of Marquis, I have returned to my hometown to visit my relatives. I am at home and it is impossible not to visit!

Lin Cunde could not see him, but he had to go!

On Lin Cunde's side, while Lin Cunde was handling official business, five people, his uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, Lin Cunren, and Lin Cunzhen came in.

Originally, Lin Cunzhen didn't let them in. He knew that Lin Cunde was handling official business.

However, when Lin Cunde learned that they were already outside, he asked them to come in first, and gave up his position, letting Lin Cunzhen make tea for them while he finished writing the letter first!

After writing the letter, Lin Cunde called the Jinyiwei and asked them to deliver the letter to the capital and Hangzhou.

Just then when he was about to sit down, Lin Cunzhen also gave up his seat and sat down next to him.

Then we sat there, chatting together, talking about things in Ji'an Mansion and things in the capital.

The next morning, after Lin Cunde had breakfast, he took a carriage to his grandparents' house, which was almost twenty miles away from Lin Cunde's house. Lin Cunde arrived at his grandparents' house in more than half an hour.

At this moment, grandparents, uncle's family, second uncle's family, and aunt's family all arrived. In addition, some of my grandfather's brothers and some of my cousins ​​also arrived.

After Lin Cunde arrived, he chatted with his grandparents, uncle and the others. After dinner at his uncle's house at noon, Lin Cunde also gave gifts to everyone, and the gift he gave to his uncle was a very valuable jade, and I gave some money!

In the evening, he had dinner at his second uncle's house. After dinner, Lin Cunde returned home.

Next, I have to go to the homes of my two aunts and my aunt, and finally come back. Whether you are a marquis or a duke, relatives still need to move around!

Therefore, for two consecutive days, Lin Cunde was a guest and had meals at other relatives' homes.

On the fourth day after returning, Lin Cunde was truly free.

In the capital at this moment, Zhu Qiyu also received a letter from Lin Cunde. When Zhu Qiyu saw what Lin Cunde said in his heart, the civil servants wanted to control the anti-corruption. They wanted to protect some corrupt officials and did not want so many officials to be arrested.

Zhu Qiyu figured it out immediately, and couldn't help but feel angry!

Zhu Qiyu had always been very surprised before, why they wanted to promote the New Deal so actively.

It turned out that I wanted to take the initiative.

In my heart, I was even more dissatisfied with Chen Xun and the other officials of the Six Departments!

Those civil servants are indeed calculating.

Everyone thought that Zhu Qiyu wanted to implement the New Deal, but they didn't know that Zhu Qiyu wanted to fight corruption. Some people thought that Zhu Qiyu wanted to fight corruption, but no one knew that Zhu Qiyu's purpose was those lands.

He wanted to let the court control as much land as possible, slow down land annexation, and extend the life of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Qiyu read Lin Cunde's letter, he sat there and pondered, thinking that after Lin Cunde came back, it would be time to consider moving the six ministries and the cabinet!
