Chapter 1124 Foreign Affairs Officer (Part 1)

After seeing off the imperial envoy and Zhu Zhilian left, Cao Yong remembered something. That was, there was a marquis in Qingyuan City, with a higher title than his uncle.

"That's good. Zhu Zhilian has added confidence and is also a blessing for the people of Baoding Prefecture!" Cao Yong was a little moved when he thought of the Dai Wang case.

Song Hou had different views. The relationship between the governor's office and the city was subtle. However, because the two had huge differences in grades, they each performed their own ways, which saved them from right and wrong.

Now, Zhu Zhilian is granted the title of marquis and has a higher title than Cao Yong, the governor.

If the two have a consensus in the future, it would be a problem if they have different political views. Even if the status of the prefect cannot shake the authority of the governor, it will be used by others. If the governor's office becomes dirty, it will cause trouble.

Cao Yong did not take it seriously. Decentralizing power and governing was the art of the emperor.

Not to mention Zhili, even other remote provinces, the governors and governors can have the final say. Like Nian Gengyao, the situation is special, because of the integration of the war in the Northwest in the early years. Today, it has become a disaster.

Cao Yong didn't feel embarrassed, but it was difficult for officials from all over the city of Qingyuan.

The imperial envoy arrived in Qingyuan on the 27th day of the 12th lunar month. The prefect's ruling yamen opened the central door to welcome the order. How many people saw it?

In just two or three days, the officials in the city knew about Zhu Zhilian's title of marquis. Although he was just a sacrifice to the incense of the previous dynasty, the super-rated title was placed there and should not be underestimated.

The prefect's office cannot be said to be crowded with people, but it is also a constant congratulations.

If it were the early years of the founding of the country, everyone would be taboo about the Miao people of the previous dynasty. Now, nearly a hundred years after the founding of the country, Zhu Zhilian was not the marquis of Xu Jue, and he was still the prefect, so he might be transferred back to the capital to be an official in the capital at any time.

Of course, there are many people who want to flatter you.

During the Chinese New Year, who would leave behind a door to thank the guests? It is the right time to respect the "congratulations" and "New Year's gifts" together at this time.

The officials in the city, even the Governor's Office, sent people to the prefect's office to send a "congratulations" to the prefect's office. It's not that Cao Yong wanted to curry favor with Zhu Zhilian, but that everyone just carried the sedan chair.

There are also many people in this city who pay attention to his movements.

If he doesn't save face for Zhu Zhilian, it will be a situation where the two of them will be vying for each other.

Seeing that the Governor's Office was showing goodwill to the Xinhou, the prefect's office became more and more lively.

Many officials have already speculated that on the first day of the first lunar month, whether it is the lively Governor's Office or the lively Governor's Office.

The answer is obvious.

Early in the morning of the first day of the lunar month, the chariots and horses of officials who came to pay New Year's greetings were tightly blocked in front of the Governor's Office.

Even Zhu Zhilian, who was watching from everyone, took his family to the Governor's Office to pay New Year's greetings, which made everyone jealous.

They also wanted to take their families to socialize with the Governor's Office, but they were not qualified yet.

Yesterday, Liu Chuan came to send a greeting letter, mentioning Zhu Zhilian's intention to bring his wife and children to greet him.

Zhu Zhilian's low attitude surprised Cao Yong very much.

However, I immediately realized that the other party was an old official in the officialdom for more than 30 years. Even though he had been in the prefect for many years, he should not be underestimated. If he was really a nerd who was ignorant of the world, he would have been stripped of his official position as the people.

Zhu Zhilian knew the tact, and Cao Yong was naturally very welcome.

However, Chu Yu was quite excited.

The New Year is already lively, but now it is far away in Zhili, but there is only one family of three.

Occasionally, if a female family comes to pay tribute, most of them are the wives and daughters of the Governor's Office. Their ranks are too different, and their interactions are flattering, which makes people tired.

The prefect's wife Liu, on Chu Yu's birthday, came here. She was well-educated, gentle and restrained. Chu Yu had a good impression of her.

When I heard that she came to visit, Chu Yu sent someone to prepare a banquet and discussed it with her husband. He posted a post to invite two guerrilla wives to accompany the guests. The guerrillas were from the third rank, and their wives were from the third rank. Their rank was not the highest among the imperial decrees in Qingyuan City. However, because they were subordinates of the Governor's Office and the magistrate's office, they did not politely invite them to accompany the guests.

If a wife from Taoist hangs over to accompany her, Liu would be uncomfortable.

Liang Chuanfu's wife Zhao Jia, who is in his forties, is wearing a flag suit and looks a little rich; Xie Tianlai's wife Zhu, who is dressed in a Han style, looks fair and pretty, and does not look like she is in her thirties at all, just like her twenties.

Zhao Jia is a bit dull and doesn't like to talk much; Zhu is smart and can speak well, and she just listens to her whispering in the room.

Not only can she flatter the master, but she also does not forget to do her duty as a guest. With a cup of tea, she has changed her name, and she has gone from "Madam Hou" to "Sister Liu" to "Sister Liu" and Zhao Jia's "Sister Zhao".

Only Chu Yu has a noble status, so she dared not take the "sister and sister" style, but she can also call her "maid" and "princess".

It's like putting their husbands aside and making friends with a few boudoir friends.

The originally somewhat unfamiliar atmosphere suddenly became active.

Among the four, Chu Yu, the youngest, is almost thirty, and everyone's topics are inseparable from their own children.

This is not the first time that everyone has come to the Governor's Mansion. He has seen Tianyou more often. He has to praise Tianyou, even praising Chuyu for being very lucky, and his three sons and one daughter are all born.

Among the four, Liu and Zhao Jia married their daughter-in-law, so they had to say a few more words about the mother-in-law.

Chu Yu listened, just smiled and listened.

She was not afraid of any disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. The Cao family passed on filial piety to the family, the elders set an example, and the younger generations were all filial and obedient. If she really talked about a disobedient daughter-in-law, her son would not be able to follow her.

In my early years, I heard from my husband that I wanted my children to get married after 18, but Chu Yu thought it was too late at that time. In recent years, the children have grown older, and Chu Yu is grateful to her husband again.

Whether she handed her son to the woman next to her or the man next to her, she was worried about being a mother. Perhaps she could only let go when the children grew up and handle things more carefully.

Only Zhu listened very seriously and couldn't help asking a few more questions, which made everyone laugh.

Although she is also the mother of four children, she has three daughters and one son. Her son is only two or three years old and is still learning to speak.

"Sister Zhu thought too early. It will take more than ten years for your brother Jin to get married." Liu said with a smile.

Zhu said with a bitter face: "Brother Jin is my lifeblood. Thinking of giving it to the woman next to me one day, I feel sad. I feel sorry for the mother-in-law in the world. It’s because I have Brother Jin, and I realize why my mother-in-law didn’t like me back then!"

With the elders in this, it will be difficult for others to answer.

Zhu also finished speaking and realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Look at my broken mouth. Fortunately, it was in front of the princess and sister. If he was in front of others, it would be a joke..."

Zhao Jia and Zhu were old acquaintances, so they spoke to help her and said, "What Sister Zhu said is true. I tossed and turned the night my eldest son got married. I couldn't sleep well. I just felt it was a happy event, but I still felt bad. I always felt that my son was robbed, but I could only hold my anger with me. It would be great if I had a grandson. Children were unreliable. I always had to marry, and only my grandson belonged to me."

Liu also echoed: "That's right, when I see my grandson, how can I still care about my son? Everyone has survived the wife, who can laugh at whom?"

While talking and laughing, Chu Yu felt like he had some insight. He was no different from Zhu. Every time he thought of his son marrying a wife, he felt sad. Is this the case for all mothers in the world?

Thinking about how lucky I was to marry into the Cao family, my mother-in-law loved me very much and was not dissatisfied with her.

When she saw the guests off, Chu Yu mentioned something to her husband, that was, after the fifteenth, she returned to Beijing to pick up her mother-in-law.

I originally planned to let Tianyou pick him up, but Tianyou is already fourteen and half a young man.

Cao Yong thought about it, if everyone in the mansion came to Zhili, he would bring the luggage and items he would take with him, and he would have a lot of things to deal with. Chu Yu would have to go back once, so that the old people and the young people would be messy.

In a blink of an eye, after the fifteenth, Chu Yu took Tianyou back to Beijing to pick up people, and the yamen also opened seals.

I don’t know how Zhu Zhilian works, Dai Xingguo handed over to Baoding Prefecture after the New Year, avenged his wife, Dai Wang, and sued the rich gentry Mao Renxing forcibly committing rape and death.

Cao Yong did not know the details, but just asked someone to investigate in the Qingyuan County Government. In the case of Dai Wang, the Qingyuan County Magistrate accepted bribes and collected 500 taels of silver from Mao Renxing.

On the day Zhu Zhilian took the complaint, he asked someone to detain Mao Renxing and took it to the case.

The Qingyuan officialdom was in an uproar.

It was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Xie Tianlai's wife Zhu recognized Zhu Zhilian as his "parent brother". The two were from the same hometown and had the same surname as Zhu. Such kinship was common in the officialdom.

In order to make this relative, Zhu Zhilian bought two tables of wine and asked Xie Tian to come to the prefect's office to visit.

Who would have thought that in just two days, Zhu Zhilian took Xie Tianlai's cousin Mao Renxing.

The most surprising thing was Xie Tianlai and his wife.

You must know that the matter of recognizing Zhu Zhilian as his "parent brother" was encouraged by Mao Renxing.

According to his words, "A servant of the coat has become a descendant of the Dai Wang Miao family; his cousin's family also lived in Datong for generations, and maybe he was the Emperor of Dai Wang."

Zhu was so moved that Xie Tianlai was also interested in receiving assistance in the officialdom, so he acted as "recognizing his brother".

Even Mao Renxing followed him to the prefect's office, thinking that he had more relatives with real power.

I don't want this to happen.

Xie Tianlai was shocked and went to the prefect's office to plead with mercy.

Zhu Zhilian presented evidence and evidence. In the past half month before and after the New Year, he had collected all the evidence. In addition, several other lawsuits related to Mao Renxing were found, including embezzlement of shops and those involved in needlework and needlework plunging into suicide.

Xie Tianlai was not a fool, so he saw that Zhu Zhilian was determined to do it, and was angry and annoyed, so he left with his sleeves.

He sent people to send letters to the capital, but he also knew that the distance water could not relieve the near thirst. When there was news in the capital, the case was probably closed here. However, it was probably not easy to protect Mao Renxing.

In a panic, he could only grit his teeth and enter the Governor's Office to ask for a meeting with Cao Yong.

Cao Yong always asked people to pay attention to this case, and it was not surprising to Xie Tianlai's visit.

In Qingyuan City, the only one who has the right to interfere in the prefect's case handling is himself, the governor and governor.

Xie Tianlai looked earnest and finally said: "Master Duxian, Mao Renxing cannot be sentenced. He is from Prince Zhuang's Mansion, an external manager of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and is responsible for managing the Zhili industry of the Prince's Mansion. He asked the Lord Supervisor to help him because of the prince's friendship..."
