Chapter 132: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable

The Department of Teaching and Workshop is the department in charge of music, dance and opera, which is under the jurisdiction of the Yingtianfu Yamen, and its direct supervisor is the Ministry of Rites. Le Ji is a brothel of the official family, the wife and daughter of the prisoner, after being convicted, are all assigned to the music book, the music belongs to a department of the Department of Education, the music book has the identity of the official family, and also goes to the society to solicit some girls, and even rob some girls.

Leji is a profiteering department, and the girls in it don't get any pay, and all the money they earn from selling their bodies belongs to Leji.

The fate of the girl who fell into the music membership is very miserable, unless she meets a well-wisher and helps to redeem herself, the wives and daughters of those prisoners are rich, and they may not be able to redeem themselves, and they have to rely on the relationship to get rid of the identity of the music membership.

The girls in the music book are all very good, even stronger than the girls in the Qinglou, many girls are the family members of the criminal officials, this is also the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's lack of morality, thinking that the official has committed a crime, not only the person himself must be punished, but also the family must be punished.

The girl in the music book, on the surface, is singing for entertainment, but this is not the case. The officials thought about prostitution, so they looked for the girls in the music book, especially the family members of those who committed crimes, such prostitutes who don't want money, why not do it, some officials, think that a certain girl in the music book is good, so they brought it back to the house, Feng Luan of the Jiaofang Department is just an official of the nine products, and he won't put a fart.

After what happened just now, Su Tiancheng is no longer interested in listening to any music, he is not a fool.

"I think it's better to forget it."

Su Tiancheng said this, and of course the rest of the people would not say anything.

The wine and food came up quickly, there were not many dishes, and the colors looked good.

The crowd didn't drink much, but after half an hour, the feast ended.

Back at the county office, Su Tiancheng was very surprised, everything was arranged, Su Pingyang, Wang Furong and others had already come.

He had something on his mind, and after greeting everyone, he went to the second hall with Qu Qingze.

"My lord, when you see Ma Jiashou, are you a little confused?"

Qu Qingze changed the title, after all, this is in the second hall, and under the formal occasion, of course the title will be changed.

"Since Lord Qu knows the Dao, is there something that needs to be reminded of me?"

Su Tiancheng's tone was not very good, Qu Qingze didn't care, and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Xiaguan knows what Lord Ludao thinks, then Ma Jiashou's attitude has no scruples, Zheng Keyou deliberately avoids, including Xiaguan standing behind, all of this must be confusing to adults, but there are some things that need to be handled by adults personally, and others cannot be replaced, what happened in the restaurant is just the beginning."

"Oh, that's right, then you can tell me more."

"Xiaguan saw two things, first, Ma Jiashou had no scruples, this is because his cousin Ma Jiagan was sentenced by Ying Tianfu, and many officials in the county government could not afford to offend, so they could only watch from the sidelines, Zheng Keyou was the governor of Ying Tianfu, and when he saw Ma Jiashou, he turned around and looked out of the window, it is understandable what other people's attitudes are."

"Second, it's not a big deal to let the girl from the music book sing, it has become a common practice to be vassally elegant, but the adults have been to the Qinhuai River, and even Lord Yin of the Mansion has specially warned them, at this time, it is very interesting to let the girls from the music books sing the songs."

A smile also appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"In this way, I have just arrived in Jiangning County, and I have encountered a disadvantage, and I need to deal with tricky things."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and did not speak.

"What do you mean, I understand, the officials of the county government can't work together, what are you talking about to do big things, although you have not been in office for a long time, but you should have some understanding of the situation of the county government, can you say some specific situations."

"Yes, but the lower official said that the adults are not ready to do it."

"Of course, the officials of the county government have their own thoughts, which is unavoidable, but when doing things, they must be generally fair, and the most important thing is to prohibit and obey the arrangement, without this basic guarantee, I can go home and plant sweet potatoes."

"Your Excellency trusts Xia Guan so much."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, and suddenly laughed.

"We are brothers, we all say that people's hearts are unpredictable and the sea is difficult to measure, are you also thinking too much, Jinyi Wei Qianhu, I haven't seen anything."

"It's because Xia Guan has seen too many things that he said this."

Qu Qingze was not polite, and his expression became serious.

"The biggest problem of Jiangning County is Ma Jiashou's body, more than 1,000 government servants, most of them are recruited by Ma Jiashou, gathering a lot of scoundrels in Jiangning County, these people can't do good things, all day long, is to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, making a miasma, during this time, a little calmer, it is the busy farming season."

According to the regulations, during the busy farming season, the county government will stop issuing notices, which means that it will not accept complaints from ordinary people, unless it encounters a major event and it will continue to be announced until after July.

The so-called announcement means that the criminal room accepts the complaint of the people, and after the county magistrate reviews it, it should be promoted to the court for trial, and the trial will be conducted directly, and if it should not be tried, the pleadings will be returned.

Most of the so-called stories of drumming and complaining are fictional, and this situation will only appear in the Jingshi Yamen.

The two biggest things in the county are money and food and punishment.

"In July, the collection of land taxes will begin, and the lower officials estimate that there will be more things when the time comes."

"Xiaguan has not been in Jiangning County for a long time, and these situations are not known after they came, how did Xiaguan know about Lu Dao, needless to say, but Xiaguan can guarantee that these situations mentioned are true."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"You mean to say that if you can't rectify Ma Jiashou, I don't want to think about it, I can do things well."

"That's how Xia Guan sees it."

"Okay, then let's start with Ma Jiashou's body."

"Dare to ask your lordship, what are you going to do, do you want to go directly to the opening of the Tianfu Yamen."

"Hehe, Master Qu, haven't we been together for a day or two, will I do this?"

"In this case, the lower official will say a few more words, didn't the adults just now want to ask about the situation in Jiangning County, the lower official has some suggestions."

"I should have said this a long time ago, I'm afraid you thought of it, too many words will be lost, it's completely unnecessary."

Qu Qingze stood up.

"The first thing is to control the scribes of the county government, especially the officials and wardens."

"Don't underestimate these officials and wardens, they are old and sophisticated, I don't know how many magistrates have gone through in Ludao, they are familiar with all the official procedures, and they control them, so they will not be deceived."

"The county government is mainly six rooms, and the lower officials feel that the adults focus on the household room, the official's room and the torture room, as for the ceremonial room, the military room and the workshop, there are not many things."

"The second thing is to focus on the money and grain affairs of Jiangning County, the tax in Jiangning County is 130,000 taels of silver per year, which is set by the imperial court, if the adults are not able to pay it, there must be opinions from above."

"The third thing is to coordinate the relationship between the four parties, as the governor of Gyeonggi County, if you can't coordinate all aspects of the relationship, it will be difficult."

Looking at Qu Qingze, who was talking eloquently, Su Tiancheng suddenly had a strange feeling, Qu Qingze is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, is he also a scholar, the words he said, the head is the Tao, ordinary people would not think of such a far-reaching thing.

Qu Qingze has the ability, he is happy, no matter what Qu Qingze's purpose is, he can become a powerful assistant when he does things with himself.

Not long after Qu Qingze left, Lu Tianming came in.

"My lord, today's matter is mishandled by the lower officials, and I ask the lord to punish him."

"Master Lu, don't blame yourself, I've already said it, it's not your responsibility."

Lu Tianming's face was cautious, and it seemed that he was still a little uneasy.

Seeing Lu Tianming so cautious, Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, it seems that the land of Gyeonggi is really a place to temper people, and there are no edges and corners to polish people.

"Master Lu, I have already said that we will work together in the future, and I still have to rely on you more for many things in Jiangning County."

"That's that, this is the duty of the lower officials, what arrangements do you have, the lower officials will definitely try their best to do a good job."

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Lu Tianming's posture cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Su Tianwei was still thinking about discussing some things with Lu Tianming, and when he saw such a situation, he was not in the mood. However, Lu Tianming is cautious, which is better than being arrogant.

Back in the backyard, Wang Furong was already waiting.

By the young master's side, she is the only personal maid, this is the most happy thing for Wang Furong, and this is arranged by the young master himself, when she came to the county office, the little girl was tempted, and she must serve the young master well.

Seeing Su Tiancheng coming in, Wang Furong hurriedly greeted him.

"Young master, the slave maid serves you to rest."

"Furong, don't be so restrained, there is no difference between here and Pingyang Mansion."

Seeing the slim Wang Furong, Su Tiancheng's heart moved.

The bath water has been prepared for a long time, and since the crossing, he has always insisted on taking a bath by himself and does not want anyone to serve.

When Wang Furong followed into the house, Su Tiancheng did not speak.

Wang Furong, who was blushing, felt a surprise in her heart, all along, the young master had been bathing alone, for this matter, she had been distressed for a long time, she was a personal maid, and the young master didn't want to serve herself, did she have other ideas, but a few days ago, when she was worshipping outside Nanjing City, the young master was holding her hand.

This shows that the young master has her in his heart.
