"Miss, the hot water has been boiled, why not take a shower first?" He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was facing the book and was distracted. After receiving the secret letter, Qi Ye sent the lady back to the other yard and left quickly. Miss.
It's normal to be lost.
After suddenly coming to his senses, Zhan Feiyu patted his face, "No, I'll complete this article first."
He Nuan wanted to persuade him, and he returned from Huai County with a long journey. It was the end of the year. But looking at Zhan Feiyu who was beginning to grind, He Nuan swallowed the words back to her mouth and walked away from the study gently.
After seeing the title of "Gentleman!", the original sentence immediately appeared in Zhan Feiyu's mind. This title comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Gongye's Long Chapter 5". Zi said to Ziqiu: "How a gentleman is like a man! There is no gentleman in Lu,
Where can you take this?"
The original meaning is Confucius commented on Zijian and said: "This person is really a gentleman. If there were no gentlemen in Lu, where did he learn this kind of morality?"
Zijian: The surname is Mi, the name is not Qi, the courtesy name is Zijian, and a disciple of Confucius. Because of his noble virtue, Confucius made such a comment.
Under the bright lights of the candle, after Zhan Feiyu grind the ink, he had already figured out the topic in his mind. He followed the topic and quickly wrote it on the paper: Those who have a gentleman will call him a gentleman. The name of a gentleman
, Only those who have achieved virtue live in it...
Three horses were settled in the yard, and He Sheng looked at the study room with candlelight from afar, "Miss is still studying?"
"There is another article to be written. Brother, I'll give it to you after the clothes are repaired." He Nuan got up and walked into the house.
After a while, He Nuan handed two sewn short shirts to He Sheng, "Outsiders say that the lady is lucky and studied under Mr. Gu, but no one knows how hard the lady is studying."
Although the daughter of a noble family also needs to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also learn to giveaway to the butler, in He Nuan's opinion, Zhan Feiyu, who sleeps less than six hours a day, is really bitter.
After taking the clothes, He Sheng looked at his sister who was invincible and comforted him: "It's like when we were trained back then, we can get through it no matter how hard or tired we are."
He Nuan naturally understood this truth, but she felt sorry for Zhan Feiyu. "What if the scholars do not base their base? Where do you go to make a living? The lady said that reading poetry and books is her capital for her to make a living."
He Sheng, who had always been dull, couldn't help laughing, "I learned to hang my book bags with the lady."
He glared at him in anger, and He Nuan also smiled, "After two days, all those people are here, I am the eldest maid next to the lady."
In the study, I don’t know the bickering between the two brothers and sisters. Zhan Feiyu’s literary thoughts are like a spring: Does anyone who regards him as a gentleman, can he not be called a gentleman? Now, those who study for themselves are not happy to get it, and those who discuss others do not want it.
For this reason, if you have some praise, you must try it. If you show your strengths, you will also have some evidence, just like a fish in history and an arrow...
Unlike the quietness of the other courtyards, the entire Huai County was completely in full swing with the arrival of Sui Baode.
Two hundred elite troops in the Nanxuanwei Institute escorted Captain Cao and others into the county town. Their masked black cloth had been torn off, so they were recognized as soon as they entered the city gate, causing an uproar. If it weren't for the fear of the iron-blooded killing.
The soldiers and the people who watched the fun would probably block the road.
Sui Baode took over the county government office, stuffed Captain Cao and other 60 or 70 people into the cell, sent soldiers to guard the prison, and then refused to see the Zhao County Magistrate, which made Zhao County Magistrate and others nervous all night.
The next day, the magistrate Zhao County, led the county magistrate Wang, Hou County Wei and others to ask for the Qianhu of Sui again.
"Sir, we insisted that the news was wrong and the law did not blame the public. Sui Qianhu could not deal with all of us." Outside the gate of the yard, County Magistrate Wang lowered his voice. Who would have thought that it would
He was so unlucky that he was caught by Nan Xuanwei.
"Hmph, this matter is of great importance. You haven't reported to me. Now that something has happened, Sui Qianhu will be resigned. If we pursue it, I will not plead for you!" Zhao County Magistrate said with a stern face.
Responsibility is fully promoted.
The county magistrate Wang's eyes were full of disdain and contempt, but his face was filled with fear and fear, "This matter was improperly handled by the subordinates and had nothing to do with the emperor. If Qianhu of Sui was investigated, the subordinates would bear it with all their strength."
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and his anger was relieved by three points, "It's good if you know."
Tao Baihu and Tian Sheng and his group were almost busy all night without closing their eyes. They looked through the window at the three Zhao County Magistrate standing outside the yard, "Sir, they didn't force anyone to death, they just forced them to force them.
Half dead."
If you have ten taels of silver at home, then it will fall into the hands of Zhao San and others. You will have to pay at least half of it and leave five taels for you. This will make you unable to starve to death, but you don’t have the courage to sue your life.
After a while, you save some money and these people make another profit, they can't die anyway, and they're just frustrated.
Sui Qianhu nodded in understanding. It was a lawsuit for human life, so the prefect Zhang would not ignore it. "Since you can't find out the evidence, you should bring back three military horses first. The stealing of military horses may be a barbarian and spy.
, Then take people to check each household and see how much silver you have grafted over the years!”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Tao Baihu responded and found out all the money. He wanted to see how these corrupt officials in Huai County could justify themselves!
Tao Baihu left with people in a hurry. County Magistrate Zhao, who had been left for a long time, was finally able to enter.
After seeing the Qianhu Sui family sitting upright above, the Zhao County Magistrate spoke loudly: "The lower official Zhao Yong paid a visit to the Lord. The lower official has no choice but to punish him. I would like to ask the Lord to punish him."
County Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Hou also knelt down below to apologize. Although the garrison could not control the affairs of the yamen, whoever made them unlucky directly hit the hands of Qianhu of Sui, it was true that the plan was based on people's success.
Looking at the three people kneeling below, Sui Qianhu waved his hand with disgust, "Okay, it's the matter of Prefect Zhang, you're under the control of Wufang. My official's hands are not that long and I can't control your county government.
”
The magistrate Zhao, who had his head down, was delighted, but he still kowtowed and apologized, "The officials were frightened."
"But you dare to steal military horses in Huai County, which is a serious crime of beheading!" Sui Qianhu changed his tone and slapped the table, full of evil spirits. "There are barbarians and spies in the county government! As the county magistrate of Huai County, you are
Don't know or collude with the spy?"
The county magistrate Zhao was frightened by the questioning. He was not talking about robbery, why did he involve military and horses, and barbarians and spies? This is a serious crime of colluding with the enemy and treason, and he wants to kill the nine clans!
The county magistrate Wang and the county magistrate Hou pale. They looked at each other and thought that the three good horses raised in Zhao San's backyard were actually military horses?
In one day, Huai County changed the sky. Three military horses were ironclad evidence and there was no need to be torture. As soon as Tao Baihu pulled out his sword, Zhao San was so scared that he confessed everything.
Afterwards, the magistrate of Zhao County, the magistrate of Wang County, the magistrate of Hou County, and the magistrate of Cao, the magistrate of Wu, including the yamen runners of the yamen, found a large amount of money at home. The salary of the magistrate of Huai County was two taels of silver, and
Some miscellaneous subsidies are all over, and the money is over.
Constable Wu worked in the yamen for five years. His family has six people, an old lady, his wife and three children. Constable Wu can be said to have elderly parents and young children. He is the only one who can earn money. It is reasonable to say that
The money is barely enough to live a life of food and clothing.
But the actual situation is that the Wu family has meat every meal. The eldest son is studying in a private school, and the whole family does not have a patched clothes. They live in five large tiled houses, except for Wu's gold bracelets, his wife's silver bracelets and
In addition to a few pieces of jewelry, the Wu family actually found three hundred taels of silver.
As for Captain Cao, let alone. He worked in the yamen for eight years and found two thousand taels of treasure at home. The property of Zhao County Magistrate is even more amazing, from porcelain, calligraphy and paintings to jewelry, plus silver notes, gold
Ingots, silver ingots...
Others were the magistrate of Qing Dynasty for three years, with 100,000 silver silver. Zhao County Magistrate was re-elected in Huai County for six years, and his family's assets had exceeded 100,000 taels. Even a small jailer in the county government office had 100 taels of silver at home, which were all people's money and cream.
, it was obtained by exploiting the people of Huai County over the years.
...
The news about Huai County reached Nanxuan Prefecture as soon as possible. Prefect Zhang and Chen Xuezheng, who had not left, received the news almost at the same time.
"It's just a mess!" With a bang, Chen Xuezheng slapped the table, and his already gloomy expression was even more ugly at this moment.
The Chen family has been entrenched in Jiangnan Road for many years, so naturally they don’t care about the gains and losses of a medium-sized county. However, the loss of Huai County is a successive failure of the Chen family’s control over Nanxuan Prefecture for Chen Xuezheng. How does the seventeen prefectures in Jiangnan Road view the Chen family?
"Sir, Sui Qianhu actually interfered in the government affairs of Huai County?" As Chen Xuezheng's guard, Yan Hui was deeply trusted by him, so he dared to speak when Chen Xuezheng was furious.
"That idiot dares to steal military horses! One hundred thousand taels of silver is not enough for him to spend!" Chen Xuezheng became more and more angry. If Sui Qianhu's hand really dared to extend from the army to the county government, the Censorate could take Sui Qianhu's power to the Censorate
Impeachment to the loss of the official position.
But the Qianhu of Sui was justified and found out that he had investigated the officials and officials from all over Huai County on the grounds of searching spies, and finally found a bunch of corrupt officials.
Compared with the angry Chen Xuezheng, the prefect Zhang sent someone to send the apology document that had been written long ago to the Jiangnan Road Administration. Even if the prefect Cao would make a reprimand to the prefect Zhang on the surface, the prefect Zhang lost only face.
But what I lost at home was the inner world.
After Chen Xuezheng's anger subsided, Yan Hui poured the tea and handed it over, and asked tentatively: "Sir, will we set off on time tomorrow and return to Zhongzhou?"
The government examination has long been over, and it is meaningless for Chen Xuezheng to stay in Nanxuan Prefecture, and Huai County has been taken down. Chen Xuezheng will only bring shame upon himself if he doesn't leave.
The second-rank Xuezheng of the imperial court was forced to flee by the small prefect. Chen Xuezheng could not swallow his anger and said sternly: "Go and notify Chai Yi and let him take action tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir." Yan Hui took the order and retreated. He originally planned to use Huang Li, the chess piece after leaving Nanxuan Mansion, but now in order to regain his face, sir has taken action in advance.
It was sunny in May. In the early morning, Prime Minister Zhang led a group of officials from the government office to bid farewell to Chen Xuezheng who returned to Zhongzhou Prefecture at the yamen.
"The tree is sad and has been separated by several people. The emperor respectfully sends it to you, wishing you a good journey." Prefect Zhang bowed and said goodbye, and said goodbye to you.
"There is no need to be too polite to prefect Zhang." Chen Xuezheng smiled and personally helped Prefect Zhang up who was polite to prefect Zhang, and said to the officials behind him: "Just leave here, y'all..."
Before Chen Xuezheng could finish his words, a shrill cry suddenly rang out.
"Who?" Yan Hui shouted sternly, and almost at the same time, several officials quickly stopped the person who was rushing towards him.
"Ministerial woman Huang met with Lord Chen and asked Lord Chen to make the decision for the woman!" He knelt on the ground with a plop, Huang Li kowtowed three times, while her face was haggard and her hair was scattered, but she had no past brightness.
The third lady is full of bright light.
Passers-by outside the yamen looked over in surprise. Huang Li is also well-known in Nanxuan Mansion. Not to mention that the Huang family was originally a Xinglin family, but Huang Li married the third son of Ming, which made many women cry and wet the veil.
Later, Huang Li was frivolous and ruined by the disciples because of peach blossoms. The third son of Ming and the Ming family did not blame him at all. But who would have thought that Huang Li would cry, make a fuss and hang herself and want to divorce Ming and her third son.
He also asked for 10,000 taels of silver from the Ming family, which made the contempt of Huang Li in the entire Nanxuan Mansion reach its peak.
"That's really Miss Huang? Didn't it mean that she was locked up by the Huang family?" Passerby A whispered.
The Huang Li was having a lot of trouble with Li that day. The Huang family was helpless with Huang Li and could not really make people laugh. In the end, they could only imprison Huang Li in the backyard.
Passerby B looked at Huang Li who was crying uncontrollably, "Does she want to sue the Huang family?"
As soon as these words were said, passers-by believed it. Huang Li's temperament was domineering and arrogant before getting married, but she was unfaithful after getting married. She often went to Donghu Inn to stay for a short stay. I heard that she had met a man in private, if she hadn't fought for him.
With the reputation of the Huang family and the Ming family, Huang Li has probably been drowned by rumors.
"What are your grievances? Who are you going to sue?" Chen Xuezheng asked a few questions in his routine, and then changed his mind: "I am the Jiangnan Dao Xuezheng. Since you have grievances, you should submit the complaint to the government office and hand it over to the Zhang.
The prefect will hear the trial.”
Huang Li suddenly raised her head and looked at the prefect Zhang who was wearing the government with tears in love. Even though she was over 40 years old, prefect Zhang was still tall and elegant, and she was as gentle as jade, warm and lusty as a gentleman.
She wiped her tears as if she was sad, and Huang Li choked and said, "Sir, the civilian woman is the concubine of the Prime Minister Zhang, but the Kong family is jealous and unable to tolerate the civilian woman. She also asked the adults to make decisions for the civilian woman."
Not to mention the passers-by, the officials and officials at the government office were stunned at this moment, and they almost glared at the sight of their eyes. Huang Li actually said that he was the concubine of Prefect Zhang?
Chen Xuezheng suddenly laughed and looked at the prefect Zhang with a joking look, "It turns out that it is Lord Zhang's family affairs, and it is even more inconvenient for this official to intervene. As the saying goes, self-cultivation and family management and govern the country and pacify the world, Lord Zhang still has to deal with it first and then stay home.
What is the matter, otherwise how could he serve the court?"
"Master, Li'er is desperate, so she can only make this bad decision. Please forgive me." Huang Li swept away her grievances, her voice sounded sweetly, and she stared at Prefect Zhang with a silence.
"Huang, do you know what crime should be for falsely accusing the imperial court of the imperial court?" Prefect Zhang's face was cold and his tone was solemn and angrily: "I am a magnificent and my wife, and I have never thought of taking a concubine, and I have never taken you as a concubine. If you
If you slander me again, don’t blame me for dealing with it according to law!”
The Prime Minister Zhang and the Kong couple had a deep relationship. Everyone in the Nanxuan Mansion knew that in recent years, the Prime Minister Zhang had only one daughter, but he never took a concubine.
Of course, even if the prefect Zhang takes a concubine for his offspring, it is impossible to choose Huang Li, the woman who is He Li. It is not because of He Li's identity, but people with a little bit of status in the Nanxuan Mansion would not choose Huang Li.
It's really bad reputation.
"Master, how can you be so ruthless?" Huang Li burst into tears again, knelt on the ground and started crying. Those who didn't know thought that Prefect Zhang was really a disobedient man.
