Shen Xi returned to the inner hall with a gloomy face, Yu Niang kept following him, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, Yu Niang asked in a low voice: "Lord Shen, is it too strict to raid the house at sixty times?" ”

"Harsh?"

Shen Xi sneered, "The official has spoken first, and he has given them plenty of time to think and hurry, and now they know their mistakes and do not change them, is it really true that the official is lying about it?" If you don't act in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, how can you protect the military authority of the dynasty if you don't punish it severely? ”

When Shen Xi said this, Yu Niang felt that Shen Xi seemed to be a different person, so unkind. www.biquge.info But she soon realized that it was not the person who had changed, but the identity and status.

Shen Xi is still as full of economy as before, smart and wise, he can take precautions for everything, and in front of Shen Xi, no difficulties are called difficulties.

Shen Xi was the same as when he killed Song Xi'er, and he never dragged mud and water.

However, Shen Xi is no longer the weak young man who has no merit in his body, he is now a member of the imperial court, and he has the power of life and death in his hands, Shen Xi is not unkind, but needs to be prestigious, otherwise no one will obey the words of a seventeen-year-old boy.

Shen Xi's unkindness can be regarded as a kind of conspiracy, and if he wants to establish his prestige in the three southeastern provinces, he must be rewarded and punished clearly, even if he kills people and raids his family, he can't frown at all.

"Asking the guilty to copy the house, someone has done it, and the official is a little tired now, and he is ready to go to the back office to rest." Shen Xi said a word and issued an eviction order to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang wanted to ask how to deal with Jiang Liwei, but she didn't dare to ask, Shen Xi's iron-faced selflessness also frightened her, which was also the result of a subtle deterrence.

Yu Niang said: "Lord Shen has been marching continuously, and he has tried the case overnight, he must be tired, the slave family has brought a few innocent, clean and decent girls outside, you might as well let them serve the adults to change their clothes and go to bed." ”

Shen Xi squinted at Yu Niang.

Yu Niang went south with not many retinues, but the imperial court has a perfect intelligence system and a large number of intelligence officers in the local area, and most of the people around Yu Niang are women, many of whom were bought back by her, but she can let her go.

Yu Niang had mentioned more than once that she wanted to give Yunliu and Xi'er to him, but he didn't accept it, but he didn't expect that in this case, Yu Niang proposed it again.

"No need."

Shen Xi refused as always, "This official is out on the expedition, and everything is done in accordance with military rules and discipline, how can he defy the law and corrupt the discipline?" If Yu Niang has no place to stay, she will stay in the wing room of the Yaxi courtyard of the mansion! ”

Yu Niang was silent for a moment before realizing that Shen Xi was reminding him.

She is now handing over the incriminating evidence of Song Kuang and others to Shen Xi, her identity has been exposed, and it will be dangerous to stay in the city, and at this time, the safest place in the city of Huizhou Mansion is the prefect's yamen. She said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Shen for your kindness, the slave family has nowhere to stay, so they spend the night in the mansion!" ”

……

……

Shen Xi led the troops from the sixth day of the first month of March to the end of the case late at night on the seventh day of the first month of March, and he did not close his eyes in the middle, and at this time he could finally lie down and sleep well.

As soon as he entered the house, Shen Xi felt a splitting headache, and his whole body was tired.

It's also that he has been planning too many things recently, coupled with poor rest, he began to overdraft his body at a young age, and his small body is a little unbearable.

At this time, Shen Xi didn't want to waste any more time bathing and changing clothes, the old men were not so particular, they got on the bed, closed their eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly. He would rather not wake up until noon before going to the market entrance to supervise and behead, and it is better for someone else to carry him into a sedan chair, and when he wakes up, he will be beheaded, and continue to sleep after the beheading.

Unfortunately, he had slept for less than three hours when he was woken up by the noise outside.

It was as if a woman was arguing with the guards guarding the door, and the noise was very loud, as if she was deliberately trying to wake him up.

"What?"

Shen Xi still felt top-heavy after getting up, opened the door of the house and asked, at this time, in the corridor of the side courtyard, two guards stopped the woman holding the wooden support.

That woman is an old acquaintance of Shen Xi, and it is Xi'er.

This girl's temper has always been not very good, she is rude and willful, and she actually quarreled with the conscientious guards in the prefect's yamen, and it was also Shen Xi who allowed Yuniang to settle down in the prefect's yamen with her entourage yesterday, and the guards knew that this was arranged by Shen Xi personally, if others dared to be so presumptuous, they would either be killed on the spot, or they would be imprisoned for questioning.

Shen Xi is the commander of the three armies, and his safety is the top priority in the army.

There are teapots, teacups, steaming rice porridge, dim sum and pickled vegetables on wooden trays, and it seems that Yu Niang is "considerate" and asks someone to prepare everything and send it over.

As for whether Yu Niang opened the stove in the wing room or went to the kitchen of the government to make this, Shen Xi did not know.

A personal guard said: "My lord, this woman has been shouting outside for a long time but refuses to leave......

Both guards had embarrassed looks on their faces.

If it is a man, it is easy to solve, but it is a woman, men and women do not kiss, and this woman is still specially ordered by Shen Xi yesterday to let her live in the mansion, the more arrogant Xi'er is, the more people feel that there is any ulterior relationship between her and Shen Xi.

"Let her come." Shen Xi turned around and went back to his room.

Xi'er was allowed to enter Shen Xi's bedroom, with a little smugness on her face, she walked into the room with a wooden support, and the guards followed her to guard the door.

The door was open, and Shen Xi did not cover the door, letting the soldiers know that there was no ulterior between him and Xi'er.

Xi'er bowed slightly, bowed her head and said coquettishly, "See Lord Shen." ”

Shen Xi looked at her, as if she had deliberately groomed and dressed, the lady's clothes on her body were clean and decent, and she was a little more charming when she met in men's clothes when she met along the way to the south.

But no matter how feminine she is, she can't change the bad habit of being rude and willful.

Shen Xi asked with a straight face, "Who asked you to come over?" ”

Xi'er said: "Back to my lord, it was my godmother who personally prepared refreshments for my lord, saying that Lord Shen had worked hard all the way and let ...... The folk girl sent it for Lord Shen to enjoy. ”

Hearing the word "enjoy", Shen Xi thought to himself: "This Xi'er obviously has a big chest, why is she so brainless?" She obviously knew that Yu Niang had the intention of giving her to me, didn't she know that what Yu Niang really wanted me to 'enjoy' was not refreshments and rice porridge, but she, the big girl with yellow flowers? ”

"It's a pity that Yu Niang's purpose is to install people around me to monitor and listen to the truth, Xi'er is just a chess piece in Yu Niang's hand!"

Shen Xi would not casually eat things of unknown origin, sat down at the table, and waved his hand: "Put the things down, you can go back." ”

Xi'er pouted, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Xi's cold attitude, but she still put down the wooden tray as she said, but she didn't take out the dishes and chopsticks, nor did she give a salute, and turned around and left without greeting.

Shen Xi was too lazy to reprimand and correct her, Yu Niang had the ability to cultivate a knowledgeable "daughter" like Yunliu, but she couldn't discipline a rude and willful girl like Xi'er.

The main reason is that Xi'er has never suffered a loss, if Yu Niang really gave her to those powerful people in the dynasty, was raised as a golden silk bird in a cage, and was beaten and scolded at every turn, she would know the end of being presumptuous and rude.

At this time, it was only mid-hour, and there was still some time before three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xi was about to go back to bed to continue resting, and Jing Yue had already asked to see him outside.

Jing Yue brought the previous raids on some bribed gentry and merchant families.

"Come in!"

Shen Xi greeted, and Jing Yue saluted respectfully after entering the house, explaining the matter in detail.

From the second half of the night to the morning, the officers and soldiers raided 23 large households and 11 businesses in Guishan County, and seized a large number of people, goods, land deeds, and land deeds. He finally understood why the government always liked to embarrass with the local gentry and merchants, and whenever there was a gap in the court's consumption, they would take these big families, because in these years, the fields and houses of the big families were all real estate, which could be realized at any time, and it was simply a money warehouse for activities.

Jing Yue said: "My lord, now that the per capita has been taken down, and the family property is being counted, how to dispose of it?" ”

Shen Xi said that he wanted to protect the military prestige of the dynasty, but it would not cause those families to be ruined, and there were many cases around him who escaped alive, such as Hui Niang and Li Jin, who were all victims of being convicted and imprisoned after raiding their homes. He thought for a moment and said, "Half of the industry is confiscated and used as military funds, and half is ...... Put it back! ”

Jing Yue thought about it, and spent so much effort to confiscate half of the family property, as if he was going to help people count their belongings instead of raiding the house, Jing Yue asked: "That man and animal ......?"

Shen Xi took a long breath and said, "Livestock is used as wealth, as for people...... Let's not engage in a joint venture, take the principals of each family to the yamen, beat fifty boards, and then go to prison for half a year! Remember, when you beat it lightly, go to jail and let each family pay for it, so we don't have to pay for their living expenses. ”

Shen Xi can't completely leave it alone! I can understand that you bribe, whether it is forced or voluntary, but after I issue an announcement, you can still sit firmly on Mount Tai, this is to find your own guilt, half of the family property is an appropriate punishment, and fifty boards plus half a year in prison is considered a clear punishment.

Jing Yue took the order and left, Shen Xi yawned, and before he could return to bed, the guards came to report that someone asked to see him.

Shen Xi had no choice but to go out again, only to see a jade lady dressed in men's clothes coming with Xi'er, who was still dressed as a lady, just like a handsome boy and a pretty maid going out with a pretty maid.

Is this a haven't sent people to be, and then to send them again?

Shen Xi waved his hand, and the guards stepped aside.

Yu Niang led Xi'er into the house, Yu Niang bowed her hand, Xi'er was about to bow and say hello, Yu Niang suddenly shouted: "Don't you kneel down and ask Lord Shen for sin?" ”

Xi'er was stunned at first, but then reluctantly knelt down, kowtowed to Shen Xi, and said, "The little girl is wrong, please punish the adult." ”

Shen Xi looked at the mother and daughter, and asked curiously, "Master Yu, what kind of song is this?" ”

Yu Niang saluted respectfully: "Lord Shen, the slave family asked Xi'er to send refreshments, but she didn't know the rules, Lord Tangtu, the slave family has taught her a hard lesson, and specially asked her to make amends for Lord Shen!" ”

Needless to say, Xi'er's expression was wrong after she went back, and she asked Yu Niang to know how unruly she was, and Yu Niang seemed to know why Shen Xi refused to accept Xi'er, this kind of wild and untamable girl couldn't get into the eyes of the eunuchs.

Shen Xi said: "Miss Xi'er acted recklessly, not with abrupt intentions, and this official will not worry about her as a little girl." Yu Niang brought people back. ”

When Xi'er heard Shen Xi say that she was a "little woman", she was unwilling, raised her head and pouted and glared at Shen Xi fiercely, but when she was glared at by Yu Niang, Xi'er lowered her head angrily.

Xi'er was endlessly aggrieved in her heart, one was to complain that Shen Xi had "abandoned her from the beginning to the end", and the other was that she had been preparing to pack her with Yunliu and send it to Shen Xi, who wanted Shen Xi not to appreciate it, so that she was over twenty years old and had no children yet, and she went south and north to live without a fixed place.

Yu Niang said with a straight face: "Lord Shen, the slave maid should be punished if he is wrong, if you think that it is not enough to punish Xi'er alone, even ...... The slave family is also willing to accept the punishment! ”

After speaking, Yu Niang actually knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Xi to ask for guilt.

Now Shen Xi is a little difficult to do, and it is clear that the mother and daughter have to be punished, if he doesn't punish him, people will not be happy.

Shen Xi's face was gloomy: "This official said that the rewards and punishments are clear, if you are guilty just because of a small mistake in the rules, it is an unfair reward and punishment for this official." ”

"What does the jade master want to do, or if he wants to ask me for help, you can open the skylight and say something, it doesn't have to be like this at all!" (To be continued.) )
