Galloping all the way, Chang Wei's wine woke up, his face was like ashes, and he was silent. Of course, he knew what the consequences of a Jinshi Zhixian were angry, and he said that he was just a slave of Xia Zhu's family, and Xia Zhu would never lose the dignity of the court.

The old servant of the prefect arrived at the study, saluted, and said to Xia Zhu anxiously: "Enxiang, I heard that the young magistrate of Yongcheng took Chang Wei back, and I don't know what to do. What can Chang Wei do? It must be that the young man who knows the county doesn't know what to do, and he loses face to fight for fame. ”

Xia Zhu said lightly: "You go with me and listen to what he has to say." Governor, you should be stricter in managing these servants in the future, and don't always cause trouble when you go out. It's an eventful time at this time, so don't let people gossip. ”

The old servant bowed and said yes, but his expression was obviously unconvinced, obviously not taking Xia Zhu's words to heart.

When he took the old servant to the flower hall, he saw Du Zhongxiao standing there with a serious expression. Chang Wei next to him had his hands tied behind his back, his face was gray, and he looked like he had suffered a lot. Chai Xin stood with a few retinues and Qiu Shilong, his body straight.

Xia Zhu coughed, and Du Zhongxiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The old servant of the prefect didn't wait for Du Zhongxiao to speak, stepped forward and grabbed Chang Wei's arm, and said, "What is this?" What's going on? You obeyed the orders of the prime minister and went to the camp to do things, why were you tied up? What is the face! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Du Zhongxiao from the corner of his eye.

Du Zhongxiao naturally knew what this old servant meant, and he still used Xia Zhu to complain about himself. He sneered in his heart and ignored it. If Xia Zhu really blamed himself for this matter and let the servants do whatever they wanted, Du Zhongxiao would not mind going to the court and spreading everything out, it would be nothing more than to stay away from Xia Zhu in the future. He is on the list of Jinshi, but the official promotion is slower, what else can Xia Zhu do.

Glancing at Chang Wei, Xia Zhu said to Du Zhongxiao: "Zhixian, this Chang Wei is very respectful and careful in my family, so I sent him to inspect the autumn grain in the camp." I don't know what happened, the magistrate tied him back? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Prime minister, the autumn grain harvest has been completed in the past few days. Because I saw Chang Wei inspecting the camp and field, he didn't work hard, I was afraid that he would come back and ask about it, and I didn't know what to ask. He listed the camp in detail and let him watch it. ”

After speaking, he took out the camp and field affairs that were originally given to Chang Wei and presented them to Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu looked at it slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, this is very detailed." With this coherence and competent personnel, it is not difficult to run a few more camp and field affairs. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "I don't want to be Chang Wei, the nature of the villain, I have this through, I think I know the affairs of the camp in detail, and I don't need to be humble anymore." This is a trivial matter, the humble position is to do things for the court, and you don't have to pay attention to what he thinks. Last night, this guy drank wine, and somehow became drunk, openly insulted the lowly position, and forcibly pulled the personal envoy of the lowly lady, and forced the wine to sing songs. Xianggong, in the lowly yamen, this guy is like this-"

Hearing this, the old servants of the Zhiyuan who had been standing beside Chang Wei were startled, and pushed Chang Wei's shoulder: "What, you dare to do such a thing?" Is that worth it? Say, have you offended someone, and others have wronged you? ”

Du Zhongxiao sneered: "Chang Wei is not alone, his entourage is here, ask what happened?" ”

The old servant of the prefect still had to distinguish it, and Xia Zhu said in a deep voice: "Qiu Shilong, what happened?" Let's be honest! ”

Qiu Shilong was originally a soldier, although his relationship with Xia Zhu was not as close as Chang Wei, but he was more trusted by Xia Zhu. hurriedly stepped forward, sang a promise with crossed hands, and told the story of the incident as it was. Du Zhongxiao was on the side, Qiu Shilong didn't dare to hide it, he learned how to react from Chang Wei, after drinking, he lost his temper, and fell deeper and deeper step by step, and finally forced Xiaoqing to sing without concealing it at all.

Xia Zhu's face turned pale, and when Qiu Shilong finished speaking, he turned to Chang Wei and said, "Is this the case?" ”

Chang Wei was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he said in a trembling voice: "The little one is dead, drinking is wrong!" Don't dare to drink anymore! ”

Xia Zhu sneered: "I was originally promoting you and giving you a chance to learn government affairs, but I didn't expect you to be so unbearable." Well, if I promote you as an official, it will only be worse if you do such things again! Later? Hum! ”

Speaking of this, Xia Zhu turned around and said in a loud voice: "Come on, drag this guy out, and kill him with a cane at the bottom of the stairs!" ”

Chang Wei was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Zhu: "Xianggong, the little one doesn't dare anymore, don't dare!" ”

Xia Zhutie's face was blue, but he waved his hand again and again, signaling the guards to drag Chang Wei away.

The guards did not dare to disobey the order, and stepped forward to pull Changwei. Because they are all acquaintances, they don't use their strength, and they all use their eyes to look at the old servant of the Zhiyuan next to them.

The prefect sighed, walked to Xia Zhu's side, and saluted: "Enxiang, Chang Wei is an old man in the house, even if he is not in a thousand ways, spare him this time." Du Zhixian was angry for a while, and he didn't have to put Changwei to death. ”

Xia Zhu said to the entourage beside him: "The Zhiyuan is tired, help him to the back to rest." ”

While instructing someone to take the magistrate out, he asked Du Zhongxiao: "Magistrate, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Du Zhongxiao arched his hand: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules." According to the law of the country, Chang Wei borrowed alcohol to make trouble, and it was enough to be responsible. The family rules of the public are not daring to ask. However, even if they are slaves, they are also good citizens, and if they die, they are afraid that they will violate the law of the country. ”

Xia Zhu sneered: "I raised these subordinates in the hope that they would contribute to the imperial court, but I didn't let them ruin my reputation. Killing him violated the law of the country, I just donated a few officials, so what! Sooner or later, it will be a scourge for such subordinates to stay around! ”

After speaking, he said to the guard in a fierce voice: "What are you waiting for! Drag Chang Wei out and die at the bottom of the stairs! ”

Xia Zhu has been the commander of the Northwest Army for several years, although he has not directly led troops to fight, the majesty of the commander is still there. At this time, he was angry, and he did not dare to look at him directly. The guard agreed with his hand, did not dare to delay any longer, pulled Chang Wei to the outside of the flower hall, and took the military staff.

Listening to the screams outside, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "I don't dare to ask about the family affairs of the prime minister, but the use of lynching and taking people's lives is not good after all, and it is not easy to explain to the court." Such a villain, a lesson and drive him out of the house, is why do you have to take his life. ”

Xia Zhu said: "Governing the family is like smelting the army, you must be strict!" If they don't have fear, how can they get things done? ”

Du Zhongxiao was not able to make a sound, so he had to stand there quietly. Xia Zhu said that governing the family is like governing the army, judging from his governance of the family, I am afraid that governing the army is not very good. When he was in charge, Northwest basically lost consecutive battles and almost never won a battle. It wasn't until Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan went to be the deputies that the situation was barely stabilized. Of course, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan were also recommended by himself, and he has a vision for knowing people.

Hearing the screams outside getting lower and lower, Du Zhongxiao's mood suddenly felt a little lost. He doesn't feel sad for people like Chang Wei, with his style of doing things, only this kind of end is worthy. Just standing here, I kept hearing him shouting there, which made Du Zhongxiao feel uncomfortable.

Zi said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, which is what it means. I like to eat meat, so I don't need to be a butcher myself. Prisoners do not have to do it themselves, let alone go through the process of torture. (It's on the shelves tomorrow, so I hope you can subscribe.) ）
