Chapter four hundred and sixty-two: I don't care or forgive others
The servant who went to Xu's mansion came back soon and replied: "Sir, Xu Shidu refused to come to the Literature Museum."
In fact, Chen Nian had already expected this result, and was both angry and funny. Xu Qian was really bold. I had the will to be with him, so he would not come even if he called him. Could it be that he didn't want this black hat?
But it would be fine if Xu Qian didn't come. Anyway, let everyone see the arrogance of this guy. Chen Nian said: "Prepare the sedan chair, but he won't come, I will go and ask him in person."
"Sir, how can there be a reason why the inspectors come to the door in person instead?"
What Chen Nian wants is the effect, and he should dress himself up as a disadvantaged group. Then see how Xu Qian explains, and said, "Don't talk too much, and prepare quickly."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Nian rushed to the Xu Mansion surrounded by a team of servants. The Xu family's house was the most vast. It was said to be the work of the eunuch Huang Jin, but it was finally given to Xu Qian. The Xu family's father and son moved here half a year ago.
, many servants and guards were hired. Even so, compared to this huge house, it still seems a bit empty.
This house is jealous when you look at it, especially Chen Nian. As a poor and innocent river, the place where you live is still a rented courtyard, which only has three rooms, and you have to hire a doorman, a sedan chairman, and a monthly salary.
After a few days of getting it, you will have to clear your light. Sometimes you really have no choice but to borrow money. The more you have to spend this life, the more you will be.
There is no extravagant hope to get to this point now. I just want to flatter Yang Tinghe and be able to make a living. Only by holding the power in my hands can I get a lot of money. The commanders have such high combat power and cannot stand the good things of others.
The truth is, if you think about it, they are both officials, but they are delicious and spicy, but they are snot and cry. It’s okay for people with better families. If they are poor, they might have to send some silver every year.
It's even more miserable in the countryside.
Chen Nian's family is not well off. Although the imperial envoy can curse people when he sees them, his life is really hard. Sometimes he wishes he could be released and become a county magistrate. Now, when he sees a big house like the Xu family, he feels sour.
He then became furious and cursed in his heart: "I don't know how much money and cream have been squeezed out, bah!"
He was angry, but his behavior was very low-key. He ordered someone to take the sign and negotiate with the Xu family's doorman, but the other party was not embarrassed. He went in and reported immediately. He came back after a while. It was only so close to an incense stick, but he couldn't help but let Chen
Nian was shocked, and a stick of incense was back and forth. How big is the Xu family's house? The surname of Xu is irrational, a servant. Like me, they are all clear waters. He is dressed in a bright clothes and angry horse, but I am a dusty man. He is a servant.
Ruyun. But I struggled to hire a sedan chair carrier. Is this still a lifelong one?
Then Mr. Chen sighed in his heart that it was because of so many stupid insects named Xu that the world was so rotten. He cursed like blood in his heart: "Human hearts are not the same."
The door came over and said, "My young master said, please come in and talk."
Mr. Chen, sitting in the sedan chair, was displeased. Although Xu Qian was a attendant, everyone was of the same grade. Moreover, he was now on the inspection, so he refused to even come out to greet him, but he only asked someone to invite him.
Own.
This Xu Qian... is really a tragic death.
Let's see how he explains later. Now he is so angry that the heavens and the people are resentful. If he doesn't deal with him, my husband will no longer be named Chen.
He tried hard to hold back his anger and entered with the door. It was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. He had seen a grand house before. He had also visited some of his colleagues' houses of the same year, but this house occupies a large area and is so exquisite about decoration.
It is extremely rare, with countless carved beams and painted buildings, hundreds of buildings, lofts, corridors, courtyards, screen walls, and main halls. Every tree and flowerbed seems to be carefully arranged and tailored, integrated into the building, and does not seem abrupt.
It is on this brick and tile, and you can vaguely see the excellent carved cloud patterns. The bricks and stones on the ground are in the style of Qin bricks, and there is almost no gap in the joints. You can see through the meter door several times.
The spacious front hall has scattered rooms on both sides, with excellent layout, which is both exquisite and elegant, and can reveal the atmosphere of the north.
The old man walked around the flowers, and felt both hatred and jealous, as if every brick and stone he had walked through was covered with the blood and tears of the working people. Although he was full of class hatred, he and Xu Qian were both officials in the same dynasty, and
It was not a difference between a landlord and a tenant, but the resentment that inexplicably surged into his heart made him feel very tight.
After entering the front hall, the inside was very wide, with a little bit of luxury in elegance. The flower-arranged vase was placed on several tables. You can almost see the lifelike painted maid on the bottle face, and there are plaques and letters on the wall. At first glance, it is obvious.
All are excellent works. Xu Qian was energetic at this time and was wearing a round-necked regular dress. Although it was in the middle of winter, it was still warm with a carbon pot here. Therefore, Xu Qian didn't have much clothes on his body. He saw the old man and smiled.
The salute: "Mr. Chen, I am disrespectful, I am disrespectful."
Chen Nian's face was gloomy, but he had to return the gift: "Shi Yu, I have long admired him, long admired him."
One is disrespectful and the other is long-term, but it does not mean that the two of them appreciate each other. On the contrary, Chen Nian felt even more disgusted and said seriously: "Xu Shidu, this official is here by order..."
Xu Qian smiled and said, "Oh? Is there any intention?"
Chen Nian had to shake his head: "Your imperial edict was not issued. In short, this time it was for a business. Now that official duties are important, I have just started to make it straight to the point. Xu Shidu, since you are a Hanlin Shidu, can you know the laws of the court?
”
Xu Qian gave the maid a wink. The maid took off obediently and went to pour tea. Xu Qian replied: "Of course I know."
Chen Nian said with a stern face: "Since you know, I dare to ask you, what are the principles for the imperial court to deal with officials?"
Xu Qian replied: "Clean, be cautious, and be diligent."
Chen Nian nodded and said lightly: "If an official is late and leaving early, or if he simply disappears during official business, what crime should he be punished?"
Xu Qian said: "If it is done in the year of Taizu, if you miss a day, you will be beaten for 20 small plates. You will be given a second time every 3 days. If you have a stick for 20 days, you will be given a big plate with a stick for 100 large plates."
Chen Nian wanted to laugh in his heart. This guy remembered this method clearly, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into his trap. He said, "Since you are so clear, then I will ask you again, what if you are absent for eight days?"
Xu Qian replied: "Thirty rods."
Chen Nian sneered: "What if the attendant is absent from the attendant?"
Xu Qian said: "Shi Zuo is also an official, so of course this is the case."
Chen Nian looked at Xu Qian coldly with his hands behind his back: "So I dare to ask Xu Shidu again, since you know the law, why did you knowingly commit it? I have learned that you have been absent from work for eight days and have not been to the office for eight days.
Why is this?"
Xu Qian seemed a little disgusted: "I have difficulties..."
Difficulty... Chen Nian almost jumped up. He had seen shameless people, but had never seen such shameless people. If you have difficulties, you can skip work. Then I still have difficulties. He said coldly: "If you really have difficulties, why
Don’t write a letter to ask for leave? You don’t give me a warning and you’re absent from work for no reason, so what are you talking about?”
Chen Nian was aggressive, but Xu Qian was very calm. He said in embarrassment: "This difficulty is not enough for outsiders to tell you. Besides, Your Majesty has made it clear that I am not allowed to say it. If you use this difficulty to take a leave, wouldn't it be against the king's order?"
When he asked him what his difficulties were, he didn't say them, and asked him why he was absent from work. He said he had difficulties. This was simply a circle, treating Mr. Chen as a fool, and even practicing Tai Chi.
"Since that's the case, then the fact is that you have been absent for eight days and should be thirty. What do you have to say?"
Xu Qian said seriously: "I am wronged."
"Under the accusation?" Chen Nian sneered repeatedly: "Where are so many unfairnesses in this world?"
Xu Qian's eyes rolled: "Sir, really want to hit me?"
Chen Nian said seriously: "It is not my official who wants to make things difficult for you, but it is really not allowed by national laws."
Xu Qian suddenly smiled. He was no longer polite to Chen Nian. He sat on the pear wooden chair beside him and looked at Chen Nian strangely: "If you want to fight, then just fight, just fight. If you don't fight, you are a puppy.
”
Chen Nian almost vomited blood without anger, but he suddenly discovered a problem. It was okay to hit Xu Qian, but the problem was that this is the Xu family. Do he dare to hit someone? I am afraid that Xu Qian had a hair.
, the people in the mansion beat him to death. As for the servants outside the mansion, of course, they cannot break into the door at will. After all, there are many people in the Xu family who are in the Jinyiwei. If you rush in, there will be a lot of trouble at that time.
In fact, there is another way, which is to ask Xu Qian to go to the Censorate to execute, but...
Chen Nian had to say patiently: "Of course you have to fight, so follow me to the Censorate to receive the punishment."
Xu Qian was too lazy to pay attention to him: "What if I don't go?"
"You...you are so brave!" Chen Nian was really angry this time: "Do you still have the laws of the king? Do you still understand the rules? You...You...You are the official who is ordered to do things, and you dare not be respectful, even if you dare not be respectful.
Are you still a court official?”
Xu Qian said seriously: "I have explained to the adults very clearly. The reason why I can't go on duty is because I have difficulties. The adults shouted to beat and kill without asking the reason. They thought that Xu was easy to bully."
The question returned to that circle, and Chen Nian had to ask angrily: "What are the difficulties?"
Xu Qian immediately shook his head mysteriously: "No one can tell me!"
At this moment, Chen Nian saw Xu Qian's power. He smiled coldly: "Okay, since you have nothing to say, you should never go on duty if you have the ability..."
Xu Qian was shocked and said, "My dear Lord. Although Mr. Xu is just a servant, he is not up to the decision to do so."
Chen Nian felt that it was too sarcastic. He felt that he was fighting with Xu Qian, just like a child playing house. He had to say, "You really won't say it anymore? Well, I will go back and report it now. I can't deal with you.
Of course someone will deal with you."
He turned around and wanted to leave.
Xu Qian suddenly stopped him: "Does sir really want to listen to my difficulties?"
