Ansu County is not a county, it is indeed only a small place, although it can be seen that this banquet must be organized by Liang Xianzun as much as possible, but in the eyes of Gao Pragmatic, it is like that.

Of course, he came to Ansu just to visit and pay a little respect, and he didn't just come to have a meal, so he didn't care much.

It's just that because Gao Shiji, the host and guest, is too young to drink, the meal is even more tasteless, and it will soon be over.

Liang Xianzun found all the leading figures in the county, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was a scene, so that they could see the strength of their background, Gao Pragmatic knew it in his heart, but he was too lazy to break it.

When the banquet was over, all the officials and squires had already left, leaving only Liang Wu and Gao Pragmatic brothers, Gao Pragmatic excused himself to hurry, and planned to leave.

Who expected Liang Xianzun to hurriedly stay, and said: "Brother Xian came to my Ansu, how can you just eat a light meal and leave?" If this is about to go out, where will the old face of the foolish brother go? How can I spend some more time, so that the foolish brother can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Oh? You also know that you are an old face, so why do you still call me old with a good brother!

This Liang Xianzun is a Jinshi in Jiajing's thirty-eight years, when he was nearly thirty years old, and he was almost forty years old at this time, and it was more than enough to be a high and pragmatic father.

As for spending some more time, that's even more of a joke. My son is going back to his hometown to prepare for the exam, and he has to drop in Anyang halfway to see if he can do the big thing that the third uncle explained, how can there be time to delay with you?

So Gao pragmatic and decisively said that he not only wanted to rush back to Xinzheng to prepare for the exam, but also came to Beijing this time, and it has been nearly a year. This time I have sent someone to inform Xinzheng in advance, presumably now my mother is already looking forward to Xinzheng, as a son of man, I can't wait to go home immediately to fulfill my filial piety, so I have to refuse the kindness of my brother.

The ancients first valued filial piety, but there was a saying that "filial piety is the first of all kinds".

However, Liang Xianzun didn't really have to stay Gao Pragmatic to be a guest in his small place in Ansu, after all, his main purpose was to use the name of Gao Shiyu and the great god behind him to give himself strength, since Gao Pragmatic had to go, he couldn't force him to stay.

But Liang Xianzun has one more thing, he has to trouble Gao Shiyu. He glanced left and right, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Brother Xian, I won't tell you, Brother Fool still has a difficult matter, and I must ask you for advice." ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised, and said: "Senior brother is polite, junior brother is thin and shallow, where can he afford the word senior brother to ask for advice?" The senior brother asked, and the younger brother reluctantly answered. ”

Liang Wu hurriedly thanked him first, and then he groaned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Forgive Brother Yu for being presumptuous, I don't know if Brother Xian has ever heard of the Ding Sijuan case in Huizhou Mansion?" ”

"Huizhou native Ding Sijuan case?" Gao Pragmatic was stunned, Gao Gong had talked to him about this matter before, and he also gave Gao Gong some ideas [Wufeng Note: If readers and friends have forgotten this foreshadowing, you can refer to the first volume of "Xiaoge Lao" Chapter 084 "Pragmatic Homecoming" and Chapter 085 "Officialdom"], but it has been a while since the incident, and he almost forgot it.

Moreover, what does the case of Ding Sijuan, a native of Huizhou, have to do with your Liang Xianzun? People are in the south of Zhili, but your Ansu County is in the north of Zhili, the two are thousands of miles apart!

However, since the other party asked, Gao Pragmatic didn't want to be too perfunctory, so he nodded slightly and replied: "The third uncle and I talked about it." ”

Liang Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The teacher actually talked about this matter?" Ignorance...... What is the teacher's consideration for this matter? ”

Gao Shishi frowned slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "This matter, you don't seem to have anything to do with senior brother, right?" ”

"Well, this ......" Liang Wu hesitated slightly, and finally decided to confess, so he said with a little embarrassment: "Don't hide it from Brother Xian, some people under Brother Fool are really a little confused...... A few days ago, they found that a foreigner in the county behaved strangely, so they brought him back to the county government for questioning, who expected that person to be a key figure in the case of Ding Sijuan, a native of Huizhou...... This person's name is Shuai Jiamo, I don't know if the virtuous brother has an impression? ”

Shuai Jiamo?

I'm impressed, and I'm very impressed, isn't this the guy who is a "nosy" math and law talent who single-handedly stirred up this case?

Gao Shishi frowned and said, "Remember some...... But Shuai Jiamo is not in Huizhou, why did he come to Ansu? And, brother, what are your people doing arresting him? ”

Liang Wu smiled bitterly: "Although this matter is the self-determination of the people below, but from the perspective of the Ming Law, they are not reckless, it is really because that Shuai Jiamo is now a fugitive from Huizhou, although Ansu is not under the rule of Huizhou, but it is not good to knowingly indulge, since it has happened, I can only take him first." ”

Gao was surprised: "How did he become a fugitive?" This person should be the plaintiff in this case. ”

Liang Wu sighed and said, "It was supposed to be like this, but then ...... By the way, how much do you know about this? ”

"What do I ......" Gao Shishi recalled slightly, and muttered: "What I know is that Shuai Jiamo found out that there was a difference in the silk tax paid by the people in She County for two hundred years, so he overstepped the level and reported it to Ying Tianfu, and Hai Gangfeng, the governor of Ying Tian at the time, issued a document asking Huizhou Mansion to investigate in detail. However, due to the later transfer of Haigangfeng to another post, the other five counties lost their deterrence, and they all said that they would prepare for the Hajj in the coming year, and they had stopped working and wanted to delay the matter. And Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, probably also felt that more things were better than less, so he didn't have any response on this matter. ”

When he said this, he naturally didn't want to reveal his suggestion to Gao Gong to Liang Wu - because he didn't ask about it again after making the suggestion, and he didn't know how Gao Gong handled it.

In fact, Gao Gong accepted Gao Pragmatic's suggestion, and had already sent a letter to Nan Zhili, vaguely expressing his own attitude. However, the communication efficiency in this era is too low, and it is not clear whether there are new changes in this matter during this time.

Liang Wu was relieved to see that Gao Pragmatic did know the first half of this matter, but his face was still full of wry smiles: "It seems that Brother Xian does not know something, and this matter has changed again." ”

"Oh?" Gao Pragmatic was a little interested and asked, "What's the change?" ”

Liang Wu said: "This matter is a long story, from the date of the Tianxun according to the instructions, the local government has dragged on for two months, and there has been no response to this. It wasn't until April 18 that Jixi County slowly replied with a letter of application - as for the other four counties, they simply didn't even bother to respond. And this Jixi County Shen Wen was submitted in the name of Yang Cunli, the county's prefectural counselor, and there were also signatures from the elders in several counties. ”

Gao Shishi frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully, "Teaching? Why is this the response of the teachings? What about their county order? ”
