Chapter 910: The Crow of the World
A few tall catchers obviously did this kind of thing, when they pounced on Zeng Aniu and the others with great momentum, wanting to drive these "beggars" out of Beijing.
Zeng Aniu looked at the fast catcher who rushed over, and her heart was immediately angry and anxious, and the girl in her arms was so frightened that she cried, and her little hands tightly grasped Zeng Aniu's clothes.
"This official, they are really not beggars, please make it convenient!" The stall owner, who still smelled of oil smoke, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to firmly hold the leader and pleaded.
The head of the hunt was five big and three thick, and there was a striking black mole on the left eyebrow of his face, and when he felt that there was something more in the palm of his hand, the fierce face immediately became gentle.
When the stall owner let go of his hand, he also secretly estimated the weight of the silver, and immediately gave his companion a look, that is, he smiled and said, "You are still acquainted!" Let's not embarrass them, let's take a look elsewhere! ”
After these menacing catchers got the benefits, the murderous aura on their bodies immediately disappeared into invisibility. Like a gangster who got the protection money, everyone seemed to be a hanger, and one of them took two pieces of donkey meat from the stove and burned them.
Lin Haoran saw this scene in his eyes, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Compared with Mongolia in the north and the Japanese in the southeast, the most serious problem in the Ming Dynasty at the moment should actually belong to the scribes and officials who tried every possible way to make money.
Daming is like a big tree, which may absorb sunlight and rain and dew in the early stage to generate, but with the appearance of maggots. Either the tree can absorb more nutrients, or these maggots will be removed, otherwise it will be difficult to return.
Lin Haoran successively served as the prefect of Leizhou and the prefect of Guangzhou, and he also saw the greed of the scribes and the officials in his eyes, but what made him feel helpless was that the officials in the capital could not hide their greedy faces.
Of course, they can't be blamed for this. After all, they also have to support their families, and it is indeed difficult to survive with the little money of the yamen alone, so they will do everything possible to extract a little benefit from the common people.
After hearing the little girl's cry, Tiger Niu was already planning to come forward, but the script deviated again. Under the maneuver of the stall owner, the catcher who played the role of the villain has already gone away.
It's just that she frowned, and her bright eyes looked at these fast catchers, and remembered the appearance of those fast catchers in her mind. He has already labeled them as bad eggs, and he will only educate them one day.
"You have all seen that the yamen of this capital also wants silver! If there is really any grievance, and there is no silver tael, you should dispel this idea and go back to your hometown as soon as possible! The stall owner sent the gang away, turned to Zeng Aniu and the others and said earnestly.
Lin Haoran listened to the stall owner's words, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, daring to bypass him, the Shuntian Mansion, and become an official with an eye for wealth.
However, the water in this capital is indeed too deep, although he will not be greedy for money, but if any big people are involved, he will definitely not interfere. Just like Chen Yinshan, the magistrate of Huating County, who was obviously murdered, also closed the case by suicide at the moment, and he would not intervene in it.
"Thank you for your advice! However, we have grievances, no matter how difficult this world is, we will also go to the yamen to file a complaint, and we will definitely find a blue heaven master to administer justice for us. Zeng Aniu said firmly.
"You're really elm heads, you have to hit yourself on the head to break the blood to make things clear! However, I have done my best today, and you will not come to me again, and I will not help you again! The stall owner seemed to hate that iron could not be made of steel, turned and walked towards the stove and left a message.
"Thank you fellow villagers for taking care of you these days!" Zeng Aniu saluted the stall owner and said with gratitude.
This year, being able to help them do this is already a great good person. Especially these days, they have seen the warmth and coldness of people, and it is not easy to get a bite to eat in the capital.
After eating a donkey meat fire, Zeng Aniu followed his fellow villagers to put the donkey meat on the fire, planning to save it for the evening to eat, and then saluted Lin Haoran and the tiger girl before leaving.
"Wait!"
Hu Niu suddenly stopped them, gave the little rabbit a look, and said seriously to Zeng Aniu: "This silver is given to you, but you have to save flowers, you really can't live hungry, you go to the Lin Mansion in Lingshi Hutong of Yongfang to find me!" ”
Lin Haoran turned his head and glanced at the tiger girl, and he was already surprised by this wild girl's righteousness and squandering money.
"This ......" Zeng Aniu's face was embarrassed, looking very hesitant, and his eyes fell on Lin Haoran. Although it was the money sent by the tiger girl, the tiger girl was too young, so she naturally had to ask Lin Haoran's parents.
Lin Haoran didn't care about these silver taels, and said lightly to Zeng Aniu: "This silver is given to you by my sister!" If you want to continue to stay in the capital, you can't do it without money, so you better accept it! ”
"Thank you to the two beneficiaries!" Zeng Aniu really needed silver taels, so he thanked him seriously.
Lin Haoran looked at the back of Zeng Aniu and the others leaving, but he glanced at it thoughtfully, and always felt that things were not simple. Hangzhou, Songjiang and other seven prefectures were affected by the flood, but the victims of the disaster came to the capital to complain so persistently, I am afraid that there is really an ulterior hidden secret.
"Childe is a noble person at first glance, you are the master who went to Beijing to take the exam! You have such a good heart, the little one wishes you the title of the Spring Festival Gold List in advance! Xiao Er congratulated him flatteringly when he checked out.
The tiger girl stood aside, but she looked proud and said with her face up, "Oops! My brother has already passed the exam, and he is now the new Shuntian Mansion Cheng! ”
"Huh? Shuncheon Fucheng? You are...... Lin Wenkui! Xiao Er's mouth opened slightly, and his face looked at Lin Haoran in great surprise.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival holiday has passed.
Lin Haoran began a new life in the officialdom of the capital, originally he was qualified to go to the early dynasty, but because of Jiajing's laziness, he was also exempted from the toil of entering the Forbidden City or the West Garden every day.
In the lobby of the Shuntian Mansion, Huang Zhongda, the official of the third grade, sat in the public hall, and Lin Haoran led a group of subordinate officials to sit in the hall.
Huang Zhongda is nearly fifty years old, is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, and has served as the director of the official criminal department, the member of the foreign department, the prefect of Songjiang, the envoy of Shandong, and the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, so as to sit in the position of Yin of Shuntian Mansion.
Huang Zhongda said to the officials: "New year, new atmosphere! Our Shuntian Mansion is an example of the world's government officials, what are the shortcomings at the moment, what do you have high opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
