Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 234
All the people present were stunned to see the big hole in the arena, and the emperor was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, "Isn't this thing too powerful?"

Fang Xin stood beside the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are muskets. You are looking at this."

Jun Wei below had someone set a target a hundred feet away, and then held something similar to a revolver in his hand and fired at the target.After several shots were fired, the people watching the target in front waved small flags, indicating that they had all been hit.A few military generals had already run to the target, checked what happened, and came back to report, "Your Majesty, this musket has a long range and great power. It is indeed a rare and good weapon."

Emperor Long Yan Dayue called Jun Wei to him, "The things presented by Ai Qing are really powerful. Don't you know that these things can be produced in large quantities?" At this time, the country needs these powerful weapons the most.

Just as Junwei was about to kneel down, the emperor waved his hand and stopped him from kneeling.Jun Wei stood there and replied, "Your Majesty, these things can be made, but it is best to have someone take them with you. My teacher and brother have studied for nearly five or six years before they can make them successfully. If you want to make them within a certain period of time To produce a large number of firearms, I am afraid that my brother must come, and my teacher is too old to travel long distances." This is the key point.

"Oh? It turns out that Brother Ling has done a lot of research on this object. Where is Aiqing's hometown? I want to send an edict immediately. Xuan Aiqing's elder brother will come to Beijing immediately to supervise the creation of this object." When the emperor heard this, he didn't know Quickly summon Jun Ye.

At this time, Jun Wei suddenly knelt down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the student's elder brother has been framed and locked up in the prison of the county government. He cannot go to Beijing to supervise the manufacture of firearms for His Majesty."

As soon as the emperor heard this, it was okay. It was hard to find a talent, let alone being framed, even if he was really guilty, he had to be pardoned.However, this martial arts arena is not a good place to discuss matters after all, "deliver the decree, put it in the imperial study, and officials above the fourth rank, go to discuss matters together."

The emperor delivered the decree, of course he hurried back to the palace.In the imperial study room, Junwei presented all the evidence brought by Haoyu to the emperor, and the emperor became more and more angry when he saw it. "Aiqing, are all the above facts true?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's all true. At this moment, my father and my brother are in the prison in Shuangdian County. If the student's younger brother hadn't gone to deal with it, I am afraid that he would have been tortured to the point of death. A few days ago, the family sent someone to report At that time, more than 1 taels of silver had already been given to the county magistrate, and now, I am afraid that I will send a lot more. Your Majesty, this Wei magistrate county has been in Shuangdian for less than three years. , It’s miserable. Today, the students don’t want to fight for fame, but they have to speak out for the common people and their families.” Jun Wei knelt in the middle of the study, speaking earnestly.

An official next to him, probably in his fifties, was a little anxious at the moment. "Bold Tong Junwei, you are just a small number one scholar. You dare to intervene in the affairs of the court before you get an official position. It is really audacious. Your Majesty, such lunatics should be punished severely. Where is it?" This person came directly at Junwei, wanting to clean him up.

The emperor glanced at this person, "Yan Shangshu, don't you think that such corrupt officials should not be severely punished? If not severely punished, what is the prestige of our Cangyu Dynasty? Come, I will immediately decree that this Shuangdian County The county magistrate brought me back to Beijing, found out the facts, and severely punished."

Fang Xin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, I would like to send an imperial envoy to find out the truth. If it is true, as the number one scholar said, the Fa-rectification will be done on the spot, which just shows the court's determination to punish the evil. If the report of the number one scholar is false, then the name of the number one scholar will be taken away and he will be punished for a false accusation."

The person standing next to him hurriedly asked for an order, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."

At this moment, another lord stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I think that Lord Yan should not go. The magistrate of Shuangdian County is Lord Yan's cousin. If Lord Yan goes, it will inevitably be suspected of perverting the law for personal gain." This man It was Fang Birong's elder brother.

When the emperor heard this, Long Yan was furious, "Yan Shangshu, no wonder you keep saying that you want to punish the champion, so that's what happened. I don't think you need to be a Shangshu. You are a dignified official, and you just cover up your relatives like this. Where do you do evil, what face do you have to be the Minister of the Ministry of officials? Go home and reflect on your mistakes, and wait until I have dealt with this matter. Come on, take Mr. Yan down. Take care." The emperor meant, of course, that he was afraid that someone would notify the county magistrate first.

The emperor sat there, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Fang Qing's family, you are the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, so I would like to trouble you to go to this Shuangdian County to check everything. If the magistrate of this county is really corrupt and perverts the law, it is right to execute the law on the spot." I don't need to repay you anymore." He was talking about Fang Birong's eldest brother.

"My minister complies with the order. The minister will leave tomorrow. Find capable people for His Majesty as soon as possible. It is important to make firearms." Lord Fang hurriedly accepted the order.

The emperor nodded, and looked at Jun Wei again, "Zhuangyuan Lang is so courageous, he dared to participate in the imperial court without an official position. It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and his courage is commendable, that's all, I don't think there is any need to enter the Imperial Academy Yes. Just follow me, take over your uncle's position, and be a housekeeper. Fang Xin, go to Shenzhou immediately, become a prefect of the state, and go out to experience for a few years." The emperor has long intended to let Fang Xin After going out of Beijing to practice, it happened that Enke was over, and there was a good candidate to take over, so Fang Xin was sent to Shenzhou.

Fang Xin is naturally happy, Shenzhou is closer to home after all, it will be much more convenient in the future. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Okay, I'm a little tired today, so let's do it. Zhuangyuan Lang, I allow you to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives, and return to Beijing to take a job within two months. Go back and comfort your father and brother, go." The emperor believed it immediately Junwei, thinking about it, understands that if there is no real grievance, who would give up the fame and fame that he got, just to join a county magistrate.

The emperor got up and went back to the harem, and all the ministers also left the imperial study, seeing everything that happened today as if in a dream.But first congratulations to Jun Wei and Fang Xin, and Fang Xin led Jun Wei to thank them one by one.

Back at Fang Mansion, Fang Xin hurriedly led Jun Wei and Bo Wen to the old lady's residence, and told about today's events.He also talked about his official position change and so on.When Wu heard that her eldest son-in-law was saved, she happily pulled Jun Wei, "Good boy, your father did not raise you in vain, you are doing well." Then she looked at Fang Xin, "It's good to go to Shenzhou, and practice more. A few years ago, it is time for the imperial court to employ people. The emperor didn't say when to leave?" The old lady was worried about her daughter-in-law.

"Pack up your things and leave immediately. It happens to be possible to go with Junwei and Fang Shilang, and it can be regarded as a companion." Fang Xin sat beside her mother, "Mother, I'll go and have a look first, so I have to trouble my mother first." I’m taking care of Xuehui now. I’ll pick you up when Xuehui has a baby.”

Wu Shi nodded, "That's okay, Xuehui is seven months old now, so it's not suitable to travel long distances. We will go to Shenzhou after she has given birth. You should be more honest and don't do anything." Wu Shi After getting along with Han Xuehui these years, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not bad, so I warn Fang Xin.

Fang Xin was taken aback for a moment before she understood what her mother meant, and she couldn't help laughing, "Mother, do you think I look like that?"

Wu didn't say anything, just gave a warning look, and then asked people to pack Fang Xin, Jun Wei, and Bo Wen.I was in a hurry, so I didn't bring much.

Early the next morning, Fang Xin led several nephews and went back.Haoyu only visited his mother once when he came here.He was worried about Yu Xian's end, so he told Bi Rong that when the matter was over, he would come back to the capital and spend some time with his mother.

After reconciling with Fang Shilang's brigade, everyone hurried to Shuangdian County. It took nine days to arrive in Shuangdian County.Bowen was supposed to go home first, but he heard that his father was also in Shuangdian County, so he followed.Naturally, Fang Xin arrived in Shenzhou to work on the way, so he can't come here with him.

When the imperial envoy came to this small county, the magistrate of Wei quickly brought people to greet him.As soon as we met, I haven't waited for anything.Fang Hongze ordered Wei Zhixian to be arrested.

"My lord, as soon as I heard that the imperial envoy was coming, I hurriedly greeted him. I don't know what my lord did not do well, which caused my lord to misunderstand. I hope my lord can clarify." Call for injustice.

"Come here, take him down. Immediately announce to the whole county that Wei Zhengmin will be tried in the county government early tomorrow morning, and let the people of the county come and see what will happen to this corrupt official in Yurou Township." Fang Hongze didn't even look at the county magistrate Wei. Let someone detain him directly.

Of course, the guards next to him hurriedly took him down, and then a large group of people entered the county office.There is no magistrate in this county yamen, so Mr. Liu and others hurriedly arranged for the imperial envoy to live there.After everything was settled, Mr. Fang called Mr. Liu and others, and asked how the magistrate of Wei was doing on weekdays.At this time, who doesn't know that the magistrate of Wei is about to fall, so why don't you hurry up and say something? When Mr. Fang heard it, it turned out that the Tong family's affairs were relatively minor.Fang Hongze was furious, and slapped the table, "If these corrupt officials are not severely punished, it will be difficult to appease the anger of the people. If they are not severely punished, it is not enough to show the imperial court's intention to punish corrupt officials. They really deserve to die."

Next to him, Jun Wei and Bo Wen quickly persuaded Master Fang, and Fang Hongze calmed down, "Jun Wei, your father and brother are still in prison, do you want to go and see them?"

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. The students also want to visit my father and brother. However, the magistrate Wei will be interrogated tomorrow. In the hall, I will definitely see my father and brother. If I go now, I'm afraid it will be confirmed." Jun Wei stepped forward and said.
