If there is deep public dissatisfaction, it is the root cause of the official Miaozi's prison. Before these spies left, Dakui had carefully arranged the investigation and evidence collection methods. When Dakui saw the results, he couldn't help but feel timid.
Looking back, although the amount of corruption is getting smaller and smaller, the number of people involved is getting larger and larger.
At that moment, Da Kui no longer hesitated, and immediately, together with Master Feng and the guards such as Gou Sheng, stones, brooms, dustpans, benches, etc., carefully compared the information signed on the paper in the wooden box with the roster one by one, in order to avoid any misunderstanding.
There were errors and omissions. Later, the two rosters brought back were compared again and compiled into a new volume.
By the time the two rosters were verified one by one, Da Kui and Master Feng had been busy all day and night. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their faces looked tired.
Da Kui looked at the crowd and said, "I still have something to discuss with Master Feng. You can go and have a rest." Everyone looked at each other and then each of them handed over and left the hall.
Dakui said in a deep voice: "Prepare the memorial. I want to report it to the King of Wu." Master Feng immediately went to get the memorial, polished the ink and held a pen while waiting for Dakui to narrate.
Dakui pondered for a long time before he said: "Zhang Dakui, the political envoy to the south of the Yangtze River, reported that under the great trust of the King of Wu, I sent spies all over the south of the Yangtze River and gained a lot. Now I have drawn up two lists. One is the spies sent by the Yuanting in the north of the Yangtze River.
A total of 2,754 people. Among them, 1,300 are in charge, and the rest are subordinates. The second is corrupt officials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River, with a total number of 6,869. Those who have embezzled more than 100,000
There are five hundred and thirty-two people in total, and the remaining ones have varying amounts. As the ancients said, the law does not punish everyone. The number of officials who committed the crime is so large that I am afraid of being unsafe and dare not specialize in it, so I asked the King of Wu to give a special report."
After Dakui finished narrating the contents of the memorial, Master Feng just finished writing. After the ink was dry, he presented the memorial to Dakui. After Dakui read it carefully, he immediately took the seal and stamped it with the official seal.
Looking at this memorial, Da Kui felt uneasy. He didn't know what the outcome would be if this memorial were presented. However, Da Kui had a heavy responsibility and could not tolerate it at all.
The confidential letter and the newspaper were put into the wooden box together. Da Kui personally locked, affixed the seal and stamped the box.
"Let's take a rest early. I will keep this wooden box until tomorrow before sending someone to the capital." Dakui was weak when he spoke at this time, all due to excessive uneasiness in his heart.
In the past, I galloped on the battlefield and killed so many enemies, but now as a civil servant, it is difficult to put down the butcher knife. Although the wooden box may not turn out as expected when presented, some people's heads will inevitably fall to the ground. As for how many people there are.
If the meeting is at risk, then it depends on whether King Wu is a person who eats fast and chants Buddha's name.
It is not without reason that King Wu had great confidence in Da Kui. The spies sent by Da Kui to various places in the south of the Yangtze River were all deployed by Tang He and Chang Yuchun. The guards around Da Kui and even Master Feng were more like eyes and ears than subordinates.
, the eyes and ears of King Wu Zhu Yuanzhang. Dakui also knew it well in his heart. If he made any mistakes, he believed that King Wu would be the first to know.
After returning to the back house with the wooden box under his arm, Da Kui, who was restless, saw Huang Ying. After not seeing each other for many days, Huang Ying had lost a lot of weight. At this time, Huang Ying had tears on her face, and she must have cried just now.
Dakui was confused and put the wooden box in a safe place. Then he came to Huang Ying, took her hand and sat beside the bed together.
"Ying'er, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" Dakui's tone was gentle. He would only speak in this tone when facing Huang Ying.
Huang Ying just cried but said nothing. When Da Kui saw Huang Ying like this, he immediately asked angrily: "Who is it? Tell me, and see if I don't peel off its cramps!"
Huang Ying looked at Dakui with tears in her eyes and said softly: "My husband is in a high position and busy with official duties, so I can't keep you company. Even if your husband marries three more wives and four concubines, it's okay for me to have three wives and four concubines. The slave family will be fine..." Huang Ying shed tears as she spoke.
It drips like broken pearls.
Dakui couldn't help but slapped his thigh: "My aunt, please don't cause trouble for me." Only then did Dakui understand what Huang Ying was thinking. It must be that Huang Ying saw Lian'er brought back by Dakui, and she also closed her eyes when she saw Lian'er.
She was as beautiful as a flower, so she thought that Da Kui wanted to take a side wife, so she was sad and shed tears.
It stands to reason that with Dakui's identity, it would be okay to take a concubine, but Huang Ying comes from a Jianghu family, and although she is aware of the etiquette of three obediences and four virtues, she always cannot overcome this hurdle in her heart.
Dakui paced back and forth in the room and said anxiously: "When I was in Quanzhou, I met a friend in Xiangquanfang. My friend spent 8,000 taels of silver to redeem her from Xiangquanfang.
It was given to me. Don’t think too much about it.”
Huang Ying couldn't help but choked up and asked: "Where is Xiangquanfang?"
Dakui said without thinking: "Xiangquanfang is a goulan, and inside is a place for drinking flower wine..." As soon as he said this, Dakui couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being a pig, as expected.
"Ah? You actually went to a brothel to flirt with women?" Huang Ying burst into tears when she heard this, and tears burst out. No matter how Dakui coaxed her, Huang Ying just cried like a baby.
Da Kui had no choice but to raise his hands and curse and swear: "If I, Zhang Da Kui, do anything wrong to you, I will be struck by thunder from the sky." Da Kui said seriously, but Huang Ying just didn't believe it.
Dakui gritted his teeth helplessly and said: "Okay, you come with me to find out." After saying that, Dakui picked up Huang Ying and left. He walked out of the house and went downstairs. When he walked to the monastery across the courtyard, he happened to see Ma
The young master stood in the yard.
Dakui couldn't help but asked Mr. Ma in surprise: "I asked you to drive the carriage if you have something to do, and if you have nothing to do, you can go to the wing next to the stable to stay, but what are you doing in Lian'er's yard?"
Mr. Ma hesitated and said nothing, but Dakui did not pursue the matter and immediately said: "Forget it, Mr. Ma, please tell my wife clearly whether Lian'er and I are innocent. You are a scholar, so you should tell the truth.
ah."
Mr. Ma looked at Dakui, then at the flower-like oriole next to Dakui, and then said truthfully: "Master Zhang once said that Lian'er is a prostitute. When he has had enough fun, he will sell Lian'er back to the brothel."
After saying this, Mr. Ma lowered his head deeply.
Da Kui couldn't help but jumped up when he heard this: "I'm just playing with you, how can you take it seriously?" Before he finished speaking, his ears hurt. It turned out that Huang Ying stretched out her bare hands and grabbed Da Kui's ears.
"Madam, don't listen to his nonsense, I was just joking with him." Dakui hurriedly begged for mercy, but Huang Ying couldn't hear Dakui's ramblings, and Dakui screamed in agony when her hand was hurting by exerting so much strength.
"Didn't you curse and swear? Didn't you want to confront me? You said it yourself to go to the brothel, but someone else said you had an affair with Lian'er. Even if you said you didn't, why did you bring her back? You are like this
I...I...I can't live anymore." Huang Ying let go of her hand, turned around and ran out of the yard.
Dakui couldn't help but jumped up and down anxiously. Just as he was about to start chasing him, he saw Mr. Ma standing there with his head bowed. Dakui immediately cursed angrily: "You are so mean and you are hurting me. Wait until I come back and we will get to know each other slowly." After saying this, Dakui also ran away.
I left the yard to chase the oriole.
Chapter 31 The good news
"Ying'er, wait for me." Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Da Kui shouted repeatedly, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. It was he who brought Lian'er back without thinking, which made Ying'er angry. But
Da Kui was even more angry at Mr. Ma. As the saying goes: Don’t slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you scold someone. Mr. Ma knew that there was a misunderstanding, but he added insult to injury and confused right and wrong. After this incident, Da Kui finally saw the wisdom of a scholar.
vicious.
Da Kui chased straight to the door of the inner house, and saw Huang Ying entering the room and closing the door. When Da Kui rushed to the room and pushed the door open, he found that the door had been locked from the inside. Da Kui banged the door with a bang.
She couldn't help but said: "Ying'er, listen to me. Things are not what you think. Miss Lian'er and I have nothing to do with each other." Huang Ying sat at the round table in the room and just cried on the table, but
Who cares to listen to Dakui's chatter?
The maids Xiao Hong and Xiao Cui heard the noise and came out from the side room to see Da Kui yelling in front of the door of the wife's room. Xiao Hong and Xiao Cui ran over in a hurry. Xiao Cui came to the door and walked into the room through the crack in the door.
Looking over, seeing Huang Ying crying, she immediately forgot the rules of respect and inferiority, pointed at Dakui and said: "Why are you so ignorant? Madam is pregnant now, and she is most upset. If she gets pregnant...
….”
"What?" Da Kui was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, don't scare her, hehehe." Dakui is now thirty-four.
Man, now that I suddenly know that I am going to be a father, how can I suppress this joy?
Da Kui was so happy that he kept wandering around in front of the door. Although he was eager to see Huang Ying and ask her questions, there was nothing he could do if the door was not opened. At this time, he heard Xiao Hong say: "Master, please go elsewhere. We are here to persuade him."
Just give me advice, Madam."
Da Kui quickly nodded and bowed: "Excuse me, you two." This was the first time for Da Kui to do this, and it's no wonder. Da Kui expressed his gratitude to the two maids and felt very grateful. After hearing the suggestions of the two maids, he turned around and walked towards
Front Hall. I heard that pregnant women need dietary supplements, and they should not be too meaty.
Da Kui immediately went to ask for the chef from Zuixianlou and cooked two delicacies. One was sweet and sour fish and the other was steamed lamb. Da Kui personally stayed in front of the kitchen door until the chef finished the dishes. Da Kui saw it
I know that the cook is good at stealing food, but I don't want this cook to steal it too. It's not that I'm worried about the lack of food, but it would be very unsightly if the food is dirty.
Dakui personally brought two dishes back to the back house, and walked quietly to the door of the bedroom. He heard the chatter in the room, and Dakui couldn't help but poked his head in front of the crack in the door, and saw two maids in the room joking with Huang Ying.
Huang Ying asked: "How does he look?"
Xiao Hong was the first to say: "When the master heard that his wife was happy, he was so happy that he was all over the place." As soon as these words came out, the room burst into laughter again.
Xiaocui interjected: "I just heard the concierge Ah Fu say that the master went to invite the cook from Zuixianlou. I think the master is arranging to cook delicious food for Madam at this time." When Huang Ying heard this, she was filled with joy.
His face was full of shyness. Dakui stood outside the door and saw Huang Ying's pink face and peach cheeks through the crack of the door. He was even more itchy. After being apart for so long, we have to get together today. They all say that a small farewell is better than a wedding. At this time
