One hundred and sixtieth chapters impartiality and selflessness
Zhu Jia was originally full of confidence, thinking that he could suppress the acting magistrate who had made almost no noise since taking office.
It can be seen that when she saw Jing Zhongkuan's calm demeanor and his words that were neither humble nor overbearing, she was startled. The other party obviously did not accept her, but she was too hasty and her face was torn as soon as she came up.
Back then, she could threaten Huang Zan's brother-in-law with a memorial to the court. What could she do now to force the acting magistrate, who could be replaced by the court at any time, to surrender?
Are people afraid of you participating in the concert?
Zhu Wanjian stepped forward and shouted sternly: "Jingzhi County, what's the use of your nice words here? Since you want to eliminate the adverse effects, why did the Zhu family send people to the county government to ask for people before, but if you didn't give them, I had to be the boss.
Mother came to visit in person? When have you ever given my Zhu family face?"
Zhu Wanjian burst out suddenly, and Zhu Jia couldn't help but look sideways at his son.
It is said that although this son is not very good, he still needs to stand up and mess around at critical moments... but it is a card that can be played at any time.
Of course, this card can easily trick you.
Jing Zhongkuan sighed: "To me, the eldest young master of the Zhu family is just a child. The most important thing for children to do when they make mistakes is to correct them in time to avoid doing it again in the future... He behaves badly. I will not hand him over to his parents. Let the parents
Strict control should be left to a few servants of your government? How will he know that he has made a mistake? Is he just relying on introspection? Or will the county government step in and correct him when he makes another mistake? "
Another speech that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhu Wanjian's face twitched a few times, and he realized that he had to argue with a scholar, and he really didn't have the eloquence to do so.
Zhu Wanjian could only look at the old lady.
If Zhu Jia's family is down the stairs, the other party will obviously have good reasons. Zhu Yanling is young, but he makes mistakes frequently. If the county government brings the person back, as long as there is no embarrassment, of course he has to wait for the parents of the Zhu family to come to ask for the person... Your Zhu family
If you just send a shopkeeper or a servant to take someone away, then your Zhu family won't give face to the county government!
"Then if I come here now, will Jingzhi County release him?" Zhu Jia's anger subsided a little, but she still did not sit down. She wanted to maintain pressure on a small county magistrate.
Jing Zhongkuan stood up and said earnestly: "Mrs. Zhu, you also know that some of my county magistrates have not come today. Once the court appoints a new magistrate, I will go back to my hometown in Jingzhou to guard one-third of an acre."
I want to live on the land... As the magistrate of Fuguo, all I want is stability, and nothing is a good thing."
"snort."
Zhu Jiashi looked very disdainful when he responded.
Knowing that your future is bleak and you don't have much ability, you are still here talking to the Thousand Households of Jinyiwei?
Jing Zhongkuan continued: "Lingsun did cause some trouble yesterday, and someone even kicked him off the stage. This matter... is still talked about by many people in the city today."
Zhu Jiashi said coldly: "The people in the troupe are just actors and actresses. As a local official, does Jingzhi County, as a local official, make decisions for the people or for a group of actors?"
"People are no different."
Jing Zhongkuan said sternly, "We are all common people of the Ming Dynasty. No one has two more eyes than the other. If something happens, I will ask for a bowl of water to calm you down. Besides, I heard that your son... is the eldest master of the Zhu family."
Are you going back to Anlu soon?"
Zhu Jiashi was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became cautious.
At first, she regarded Jing Zhongkuan as a stupid young man who didn't understand the rules of officialdom, but now she discovered that he was more knowledgeable than she thought. He even knew the inside story of the Zhu family clearly, and it was not without purpose.
"At this time, I believe that more is worse than less. The dispute in the theater has been settled, and each other will not be held responsible. In addition, the Zhu family should not pursue the fight in the Jiaofang Division, and all kinds of... If you cause any trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jing Zhongkuan is negotiating terms with Zhu Jiashi, and the exchange sounds reasonable.
I will release him, and you, the Zhu family, will not pursue him any further, and everyone will go back to their respective families.
Zhu Jiashi said: "Is it possible that under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhi County, if a case that is offensive to morals occurs, it will be settled without detailed investigation?"
In Zhu Jia's opinion, it is impossible for her grandson to go to the street and sleep without clothes at night. Someone must be looking for trouble. People from the theater troupe... don't seem to have that ability. It is unlikely. The most likely person to do something is
He and Zhu Yanling were jealous of each other in the studio and even got into a fight with those people.
Jing Zhongkuan smiled and said: "If we really want to pursue the case, should the young master of the Zhu family stay in the county government and cooperate with the official investigation?"
"you……"
Zhu Jiashi was very angry.
But there is no way. Who would have thought that now that I am in someone else's position, the official in front of me, who is in his thirties and is still relatively young in the officialdom, would be so insecure?
Butler Liu came over and reminded him in a low voice: "Old madam, it is better to do less than to do more..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jia extended his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice: "Well, the Zhu family will not pursue yesterday's incident. As for my grandson's mischief... the Zhu family will punish them, and I will not bother the county magistrate.
Thank you for your trouble."
"Mom, how can this be done? It's over like this? It's a good thing to leave your grandson in the county government for a few days to teach him a lesson. Don't let him mess up the rules. He might spend a lot of money on the family after he goes out... The Zhu family's face
The most important thing!"
Zhu Wanjian was still speaking for Zhu Yanling before, but suddenly he changed his tune.
Zhu Jiashi did not explain, but his tone became kind: "Please don't listen to the nonsense of the dog, Magistrate Jing. Today's incident... Thank you Magistrate Jing for protecting the face of my Zhu family."
With Zhu Jia's promise, Jing Zhongkuan said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say, now let someone release your grandson, and you can take him home and discipline him well."
…
…
Zhu Yanling was taken out.
As Jing Zhongkuan said, the eldest grandson of the eldest son was not treated badly in the county government, but he seemed to be drunk and cursed when he was taken out of the room by Butler Liu, and became even more arrogant after leaving the gate of the county government.
"Sooner or later, we'll find someone to take care of the county government office... isn't it just a seventh-grade government office?"
Zhu Yanling's unruly and wild look made Zhu Jiashi frown.
Zhu Wanjian glanced at Zhu Jia with teasing eyes, as if to say, look, this is your grandson, and I haven't even figured him out yet.
Zhu Jiashi glared in the past, as if in return.
You're not much better off either!
"Second brother, take Yanling back and lock him in a woodshed. Before his father returns to Anlu, he will only be guaranteed basic food and drink. Whoever lets him out... will be guilty of the same crime as him!" Zhu Jiashi said harshly.
When Zhu Yanling heard this, his eyes widened: "Grandma, you can't do this..."
As he spoke, he was about to run away, but Butler Liu and his men captured him directly.
Zhu Jiashi stepped in front of the carriage and said: "Before his father comes back, the Zhu family should not cause any trouble, including you, the second child. If you commit a crime, do the same as him... If you don't even have this bit of patience,
Let our Zhu family get into trouble again, so that your brother cannot return, and you uncle and nephew will have to live in the woodshed until they grow old!"
Zhu Wanjian pouted aggrievedly. He wanted to say, what does this have to do with me?
But he heard some signs.
Why did the Zhu Jia family choose to be patient in front of Jing Zhongkuan? Perhaps it was Jing Zhongkuan's wake-up words that played a role... Isn't the most important thing for the Zhu family now to wait stably until Zhu Wanhong is released from the capital to Anlu and takes over Zhu Mingshan's post?
?At this time, Mrs. Zhu, you should understand that calmness is the best option now, and the county government is helping your Zhu family.
"Grandma, my grandson doesn't dare anymore. Let him go out. He won't drink anymore these days... Butler Liu, are you looking for death? Believe it or not... Ouch!"
While Zhu Yanling protested, he was put on a carriage and almost tied up and sent back to the Zhu family manor.
…
…
County government office.
Jing Zhongkuan leisurely closed the small wooden box that someone had given him. Inside were some exquisite gifts. Although they were not very valuable, they looked like twenty or thirty taels, which was almost half a year's salary of Jing Zhongkuan.
County Magistrate Song came in from outside and said respectfully: "The magistrate of Jing County, the Zhu family left, and they tied up the eldest son of the Zhu family and threw him into the carriage, saying he was going back to close the woodshed."
Jing Zhongkuan smiled and said: "At last Mrs. Zhu is not stupid."
"Jingzhi County, who was the person you met before? He...couldn't be here to help with the matter?" Song County Magistrate was busy receiving the Zhu family and his party, and he didn't know who Jing Zhongkuan was receiving.
Jing Zhongkuan said: "That's the person sent by Su Dangjia, the brother-in-law of Huang Fantai, the governor of Huguang Zuo... Originally, I thought that the Zhu family, as a member of thousands of royal guards, had connections with the world and could solve everything easily. But now I found out...
The one who really has a connection with Tongtian is the young master of the Zhu family who is studying in the palace."
"Um?"
Song County Cheng didn't understand at all.
Jing Zhongkuan smiled and waved his hands, he did not intend to explain clearly to his subordinates.
Precisely because Jing Zhongkuan knew that the theater troupe belonged to Zhu Hao, the people sent by Su Xigui also expressed their opinions on behalf of the theater troupe, and in addition, Zhu Hao had been embarrassed by the Zhu family before, and even the royal palace chief Yuan Zonggao personally came forward... Various signs indicate that in fact,
Zhu Niang’s family has a very strong background, and they need money and people.
Jing Zhongkuan's son and Zhu Hao both worshiped under Tang Yin's sect, so they were considered senior brothers. Jing Zhongkuan naturally understood the "difference between inside and outside". At this time, there was no reason not to favor his son's fellow senior disciples, right?
As for who caused Zhu Yanling to be thrown naked into the street yesterday, Jing Zhongkuan will not go into details. It may be that Zhu Yanling happened to have a dispute with someone in the Jiaofang Division and was retaliated afterward. It may also be that Zhu Hao sent
It doesn't matter what he did, whether it was because people from Prince Xing's Mansion or Su Xigui looked down upon him and vented his anger on the troupe.
Zhu Yanling's evil deeds were punished, and the people in the city praised him one after another. The Zhu family came to the county government to suffer, but he still received gifts... His education was intact, and he earned a reputation for being impartial and selfless.
If you continue to think about it, if the blame is placed on Prince Xing's Mansion or Huang Zan, then is it right for you to be an official?
Such a big battle couldn't have been caused by Zhu Hao, right?
"Jingzhi County, what should we do with the actor who sang Guan Gong in prison?" Song County Magistrate asked for instructions.
Jing Zhongkuan smiled and said: "There is no need to deal with it, just let him go, he still has to act... Many people in the city are waiting to see Guan Gong fight in Changsha. I expected that today he will perform on the stage again. The following is
People will definitely applaud continuously, and nothing else, this actor really brought out Guan Gong's aura of looking down on the world...
"I don't know where that kid from the Zhu family found such a guy who doesn't understand current affairs... Hehe. Anyway, if someone comes to give theater tickets later, let the people from the Yamen go and have a look, just to support the scene.
