Chapter 103: Cai Zhifu Ancestral Hall
Suzhou government office signing room.
Governor Cai listened to Liu Zhengqi's half-truth:
"I heard a few days ago that my husband's ancestor sent the Kunshan gunman battalion to Xishan to suppress bandits, and we, the aborigines of Xishan, were all overjoyed and were discussing preparations to set up a shrine for my husband's ancestor. Although the villagers had to leave their hometowns after 35 years of fighting Jiajing, everyone has always been worried about Xishan, where there are our ancestral properties, ancestral houses and ancestral graves......"
Governor Cai was very useful when he heard this. He is a famous minister of science, clean and self-conscious, and does not like money, but loves fame.
Listening to Liu Yuanwai's words, he even thought about the site selection materials, design and planning of the ancestral hall, and the renderings after completion.
"Who knows......" but listened to Liu Zhengqi's words.
Cai Zhifu's face turned dark when he landed, and it seemed that there were changes in the Xiusheng Temple. "Who knows?"
"Who knew that the day before yesterday, Xu Kun, the second master of the Xu family, suddenly came to the door and threatened to say that the Kunshan gunman battalion would forcibly occupy Xishan Island, so that we, the aborigines, would rise up and resist."
"What does this have to do with the Xu family?" Cai Zhifu couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately remembered the glorious deeds of 'Zhao Zhuangyuan beating the elder of the small pavilion'.
"The second master said that his family has a personal grudge with the family of Zhaozhi County in Kunshan, and he wants to fix them to vent his anger to the eldest brother." Liu Zhengqi's words are not false, but he didn't mention who called Xu Kun......
"Nonsense!" Cai Zhifu shouted: "What did he a Songjiang gentry come to our Suzhou to pick up?" ”
"He said he wanted to do justice for us." Liu Zhengqi said with a bitter face: "But that's not the justice we want." Besides, with her husband and ancestor, how can you use the Xu family to stand out for us? ”
"Hmph, that's natural, the Xu family's hand is stretched too long!" Cai Zhifu was furious.
In fact, the Xu family was rude to Governor Cai in the past. Servants are always sent to inform them of something, and their attitude is very disrespectful.
It's often like this time, and I do things without saying hello, and I really never take him seriously.
Before Xu Ge was in power, Governor Cai could only swallow his anger and pretend not to care.
This time, Xu Jie has become a retired old cadre, and the Xu family still doesn't want to restrain himself, but instead intensifies, openly interfering in Suzhou's internal affairs and provoking the people to confront the government!
It's too much to take him, the dignified four-grade prefect, in his eyes!
New resentments and old hatreds came to my heart together, and the hatred made the roots of Cai's prefect's teeth itch. Ban Yu Fang asked coldly, "Then did you listen to him?" ”
"That's naturally not listening, we are all law-abiding and good citizens, how can we cause chaos to my husband and ancestors?" Liu Zhengqi hurriedly denied it.
Really, he went to one of him yesterday, and the rest were impersonated by Zhao Hao's people.
"So the Xu family threatened to kill you?" Cai Zhifu asked with a gloomy face.
actually started the Shunchang rebellion, is there any government in the eyes of the ground? Let's ask today's Suzhou, whose world is it?!
"Also because Xu Kun led five hundred Hao slaves to attack the Dashengwan camp yesterday......" Seeing that her husband was going to blow up, Liu Zhengqi was busy and ordered another explosion.
"What?!" Governor Cai was really angry, and shouted heavily: "The Xu family dares to gather evil slaves to attack the barracks of a county. Is this a rebellion?! ”
Liu Zhengqi was so frightened that he suddenly understood why Zhao Gongzi was so fearless.
To put it bluntly, it's still the old saying, the people don't fight with the officials.
No matter how small Kunshan County is, it is also a first-class government. No matter how big the Xu family is, it is only a local gentry. There is no suspense at all about which side of Governor Cai's ass sits.
And the butt determines the head, and the head determines the mouth......
~~
Cai Zhifu had a seizure for a while, and then asked angrily, "How many people died?" ”
He is going to hate the Xu family to death. No matter what the reason, a large-scale fight under his rule is a vicious event that can affect his career!
"No one was hurt, and no one died." Liu Zhengqi hurriedly gave her husband a reassuring pill and said: "It's just that all of them were detained by the Kunshan gunman battalion." ”
Then he added in a low voice: "The Xu family thinks that it is the rumor revealed by the villain, so they threatened to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey." ”
"Huh......" Governor Cai breathed a sigh of relief and said incredulously: "Even if five hundred pigs are caught, they can bite and injure a few people." Why are the servants of the Xu family not even as good as pigs? ”
Liu Zhengqi couldn't help but sneer: "Second Master Xu rushed into the camp and was captured by the gunman camp, and his subordinates had to surrender obediently. ”
Liu Yuanwai didn't tell the prefect, but he actually brought Xu Kun into the camp himself.
"Xu Kun is really a dish." Cai Guoxi laughed, leaned back in the chair, and his evaluation of the Xu family was downgraded a lot. "Finally, did you release them?"
"If you don't release people, it is estimated that the Xu family will not finish counting." Liu Yuanwai shook his head and said: "There is such a big incident, the villain has to hurry up and show his husband and ancestor, so as not to catch his husband and ancestor off guard." ”
"Well, you're not bad." Cai Guoxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, this official will pay attention to this matter." ”
"Yes, old man." Liu Yuanwai responded respectfully.
was just about to retire, but Cai Guoxi said in a deep voice: "Hugh wants to build a shrine on Xishan Island, how can this official be a person who sells his reputation and reputation." ”
After a pause, he said quietly: "Those in the wilderness are not serious." ”
Liu Yuanwai suddenly said that this is the old man's ancestor who dislikes the inaccessibility of Xishan, and there is no incense.
He hurriedly bowed down and said: "Then the West Mountain will not be repaired, only a shrine will be left on Dongshan Island, please ask my husband and ancestor not to shirk, and talk about the filial piety of the people." ”
"Hey, forget it, you guys watch it." Governor Cai waved his hand, and he was really embarrassed to take out the design drawings in the drawer immediately.
Let's let the following people handle it another day......
~~
After Liu Yuanwai said goodbye, Cai Zhifu called his staff member Mr. Hu and discussed with him which design plan should be used to build his ancestral hall.
I only listened to the staff member Mr. Hu planning hard:
"You have to choose the best location, hire the best craftsmen, and use the best materials. It is necessary to build the highest grade ancestral hall, the mountain gate has five wings and seven pillars, and the yard starts from at least five into one hundred acres. What a red wall and green tile! Brass incense burner! Shen Tan statue! Gilded protectors! and let him use all that he can. The most important thing is that there is still a god in the ancestral hall, so that the incense is vigorous, and after a few years or more than ten years, Dong Weng has become a god worshiped by the people! ”
Cai Zhifu listened with drooling. "How much does it cost?"
"Let those Dongting merchants pay for it, they have money."
"But spending too much money will still damage the reputation of the government."
"It's simple, find an old routine and partner with the temple and Taoism, so that all the expenses can be regarded as rebuilding the temple. But in fact, the temple has become a part of the ancestral hall. Mr. Hu said unhurriedly, obviously not the first time he had been a staff member.
"There is a White Horse Temple on Taihu Lake, I heard that the incense is very spiritual, why don't we ......" Cai Zhifu rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
"Dong Weng really knows how to choose a place."
The two were talking about the rise of the conversation when they suddenly heard a burst of startling drums outside.
Cai Zhifu was in bad spirits, and asked unhappily: "Go and see who is drumming, first find a reason to beat him!" ”
