Chapter 108: Watching Him Get Up From Zhu Lou, Seeing Him Feasting Guests
Ten days later, at the foot of Dongqingshan Mountain, we found the main residence of the Zhao family.
The land of Jinling was originally known for its charm and beauty. Although the wealth was not as rich as before after the capital was moved, more and more wealthy households have taken root in Nanjing and the surrounding area after recuperating for more than a hundred years, thus creating small and elegant buildings.
A graceful and exquisite garden or a majestic and majestic garden. Therefore, even though Zhao Qin was only a small cosmetics officer, this huge Zhao residence was as magnificent as a prince. Xu Xun followed Ye Guang to wander around, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
, "It took Zhao Qin so much effort to build such a village built on a mountain with a spring as a pond. Now that the owner Yindang is in prison, not to mention this house, even the people inside have to live there."
And suffered disaster, nature is really playing tricks on people."
After looking at the three-story red building with his hands behind his back for a moment, Ye Guang said these words slowly, glanced at the Zhao family who were kneeling on the ground and trembling in the courtyard, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He glanced sideways.
Glancing at Xu Xun behind him, he suddenly asked, "Do you think these people are pitiful? It's not like they made a big mistake. Zhao Qin was the only one who made the mistake, but now they all have to be implicated?"
Xu Xun was also looking up at the two-story building. When he suddenly heard Ye Guang's words, he quickly turned around. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It's not pitiful. It's natural for one person to achieve the Tao, a chicken or a dog to ascend to heaven." It's natural for one person to lose power.
The whole family was involved. Zhao Qin was a Jinshi, and his wife, children, old and young, no matter whether they were virtuous or unworthy, all enjoyed all the glory and wealth because of their official status. However, he went around the countryside and did many unscrupulous things again and again.
At that time, did any of them ever try to persuade them? Since they enjoy the honor of being the descendants of officials, they have not paid the corresponding responsibilities. If they are really implicated now, of course they are the ones to blame!"
His voice was not quiet, and all the people kneeling below could hear it clearly. Most of them were shy and kept their anger in silence, but a half-year-old child suddenly raised his head and raised his neck and shouted:,
"We don't know what dad did!"
"Xu Xun, you are right, you really understand!" Ye Guang nodded at Xu Xun, and when he saw the two Jinyi captains rushing forward and pressing down the child's head, he waved his hands lightly, "
Don’t know? Not knowing is the biggest sin! As a close relative, you don’t know what evil things your father has done.” Of course, there is no way to explain this advice. I only know that I can enjoy the glory and wealth that I have here with peace of mind. How can there be such a thing in the world?
What a wonderful thing? Come, please say goodbye, father-in-law!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhao family, including Mr. Zhao who was extremely weak and was carried out, showed panic expressions. When Ye Guang saw two young eunuchs coming up to protect a middle-aged eunuch, he
He signaled Xu Xun to retreat with him. After a moment, he saw the middle-aged eunuch slowly unfolding the edict. There were no eloquent parallel prose couplets, but a simple edict.
"It was discovered that Zhao Qin, who was in charge of the affairs of the former Nanjing Engineering Department, was rampant in the countryside and was full of misdeeds. The former Qin had already been appointed as a sheep, and now the commander of the Imperial Guards, Ye Guangda, the Prime Minister of Lisi Temple, and Fei Kai, Yin Wuxiong of Tianfu, jointly requested Zhao Qin to report fourteen crimes.
The life of his father-in-law was particularly high, and he was asked to be hanged according to the law. He did not wait until the right time was passed. The Zhao family's business registration was immediately lost, and all their property, property, etc. were transferred to the official. He was over 16 years old and lived in Liaodong. "I don't care about the rest."
His wife’s tomb was cut down and leveled at the place where it was buried, so I admire it here.”
As soon as this decree was finished, some members of the Zhao family fell to the ground crying, and the servants and servants behind them looked at each other, but they also began to worry about their own future and fate, and for a while they cried sadly.
As for Mr. Zhao, who was lying on the stretcher over there and groaning, he didn't know whether it was because he heard the order or because he was seriously injured. He actually held his breath, and the scene suddenly became more chaotic. Ye Guang stepped forward.
After talking to the middle-aged eunuch who announced the decree, he suddenly shouted sharply.
, "Shut up, everyone!"
Seeing that the Zhao family in the courtyard was silent and quiet for a moment, Ye Guang said word by word: "The emperor has already given this Zhao family house under Dongqing Mountain to another person. Before evening, you guys packed your personal clothes.
Move out immediately! All the servants and servants of the family must stay. If any of them leave on their own, they will be treated as refugees!"
The Zhao family never expected that after announcing the decree, they would be kicked out. For a while, they were crying and fighting. However, they were surrounded by wolf-like and tiger-like guards in uniforms. After escorting away the few men who were going to be exiled to Liaodong,
, the others were roughly kicked out.
Seeing this scene, even though Xu Xun was not a soft-hearted person, he still turned his head away and looked up thoughtfully at the three-story Zhulou in front of him.
, "Is this Young Master Xu Qi?"
Xu Xun heard such a high-pitched voice coming from next to him, and seeing that it was the eunuch who had just announced the decree, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. The eunuch immediately helped him up with quick eyes and hands, and he actually smiled so kindly: "No wonder Fu
My father-in-law praised us repeatedly in the letter to our ancestors. We heard what you said outside just now. We really know something! Seeing that you have been looking at this building, do you think you like it very much? Hey, we will move in the future.
Come in and do whatever you want!"
, "Moving in...father-in-law, what do you mean..."
Seeing Ye Guang also walking up, smiling and nodding to himself, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel as if something was falling from the sky and hitting his head. Although this garden is not in Nanjing, its value is slightly discounted, but it is a courtyard within a courtyard.
, rockeries, small ponds, back gardens and so on, it is absolutely impossible to throw a few square meters of money at it. So, he said nonchalantly for a moment: This is really..."
"Don't worry, it was our ancestor who passed a few words in front of the emperor. No one dares to say that this is a mutual agreement." The middle-aged eunuch smiled proudly, ordered the young eunuch who came with him to leave, and then
Seeing that the captains under Ye Guang had also retired, he said slowly, "This time Master Ye's case was handled smoothly. The ancestors said a few words of kindness. After returning to Beijing, he will be promoted to the first grade."
It’s safe to take away the first-level crown. As for Mr. Xu Qi, if you hadn’t helped him, Eunuch Fu might have been raped by the man named Zhao, and the next thing would not be so smooth. The ancestor said,
Rewards are based on merit, and those who have merit must be rewarded in full. Things like official positions and honors are public assets, but a house is nothing. So, congratulations to the Seventh Young Master on getting a beautiful house!"
, "My father-in-law is now the Chief Literary Supervisor writing, and he is also the proud man in front of Eunuch Xiao, the Chief Printer of the Chief Liturgy Supervisor."
Ye Guang suddenly woke up when he saw Xu Xun, and was very humble and polite to Bie Bin. He just stood aside and said nothing, thinking about where Li Yifeng, who had gone back a few days ago, should be at this moment. He was in charge of Fu Si Yu Er in Beizhen.
Ten years ago, Yu Shengguan had already lost his heart, but the only thing he couldn't bear to do was to let go of Beizhen Fusi. After all, the power of detectives was his foundation. He waited until Biebin left with a smile, and then he waved to Xu Xun.
come over.
"Eunuch Xiao was also held captive by several officials before. This time he has made a bright comeback because of Eunuch Fu, so I will give you such a benefit." Although Xu Xun rejected his offer.
"Yanlan" But after getting along with him these days, Ye Guang appreciates him quite a lot, and he doesn't hesitate to explain a few more sentences at this time. "According to my point of view, your house is not as good as your land, but most of the fields under Zhao Qin's name are
It was a fertile land, and there were too many people interested in it, but it was his house that fell because of him."
If others think it is unlucky, not many people will covet you, and no one will care about you if you marry me."
How could Xu Xun not understand such a shameless suggestion? He quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your care!"
"There's no need to thank you. After all, it was you who persuaded the Shen family.
Thanks to their cleverness, the three farms involved in the treasure map were all handed over. Otherwise, with the treasure map that no one knows is true or false, even if the Shen family's virginity is in front, the Shen family will still have to eat it.
Hang up." Ye Guang frowned slightly, and then said, "So, because the Zhao family forced the marriage, all the Zhao family's previous betrothal gifts went to the Shen family, plus double the compensation. In English, it is one or two thousand.
"It's not enough for the land price." But the Shen family should be satisfied. After all, no one will pursue any of their previous crimes, which can be regarded as making up for a major hidden danger."
During the competition in the capital, the top men drank the soup, and all that was left was scraps. Xu Xun naturally knew that Ye Guang had done all he could, but he still felt sorry for Shen Yue in his heart. However, when Ye Guang said that Shen's daughter Jingbiao was beaten in the Ministry of Etiquette
When he came back, he didn't feel dissatisfied, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The most glorious thing in the eyes of people these days, the imperial banner, is worthless to him. After all, Shen Yueren is not dead yet. If he is given a memorial arch, he will be able to do anything about it in the future.
What's more, I can't let the little girl go home.
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Guang suddenly patted Xu Xun's shoulder as if he was close to an elder and said, "This big house belongs to you from now on. What is your first plan now?"
Should I marry a beautiful concubine with one wife, or take two beautiful concubines first?"
"Master Ye is joking." Xu Xun raised his head and looked at the three-story building again, then turned to look at Ye Guang and said, "I heard that this building is Zhao Qin's most beloved place. I want to put it
Demolished." Seeing the shock on Ye Guang's face, he smiled and said, "I heard that Grandfather Taizu had a rule that no pavilions, ponds, or red towers were allowed in the houses of common people. I am a serious person.
Naturally, common people cannot imitate Zhao Qin. Just having a house is a crime!"
"Hahahaha, you little half!" Ye Guang smiled, then nodded knowingly and said, "The house belongs to you anyway, and if you don't want to hide in the golden house but have to go to such trouble, that's up to you!"
In the evening, when a large group of Zhao family members were driven out of the huge house in misery, under the setting sun, the three-story red building that was once the landmark building in the big house was already being renovated by several craftsmen.
With his vigorous efforts, Xu Xun gradually revealed his cheeks. Xu Xun, who got on the carriage, listened to the commotion inside, suddenly lowered the curtain, and smiled at the person sitting next to him.
"What do you think of this house?"
"Whatever, I don't want the house where Zhao Qin lived!"
