Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Volume 10 Dragon Dance - Volume 11 is the 1228th Schedule

Listening to Wei Ren's words, Cao Hao couldn't help frowning.

He went to Jiangning, originally to "visit the sick", and even the so-called errand of investment promotion in the household department was in the name of the person, how could he bring many things and meddle in local affairs?

Doing things badly and interfering in local areas is a taboo in officialdom.

But with Wei Wenying here, how could Cao Hao stand by and watch?

In fact, with the friendship between the Wei family and the older generation of the Cao family, even without Wen Ying, Wei Ren could ask for mercy. It's just that he feels guilty because his wife treats his nephew poorly, where does he still have the face to pose as a "world friend" in front of the Cao family.

This is another "kidnapping" and a "bandit", and Pangjia Village is also mentioned. Wei Hei and Cao Jia looked at Wei Ren's gaze, and they were both a little unkind.

The former knew the relationship between Cao Hao and Wei Xin, and was very dissatisfied with Wei Ren, an unqualified uncle, who couldn't even take care of his nephew, and caused chaos to Cao Hao; The latter's gaze is a bit complicated......

Although Cao Hao didn't promise anything to Wei Ren, he was in the end, and he had no interest in wandering, and after coming out of "Yao Ji", he returned to the General Military Mansion.

Cao Song and Li Wei are both there, and it is rare that both of them wore official uniforms and came out of the General Military Mansion. Li Wei's pockmarked face added a bit of solemnity, and Cao Song's face was a little excited.

Seeing Cao Hao coming back, both of them stopped.

"Are you going to the governor's yamen?" Seeing that both of them were wearing patch clothes, Cao Hao asked,

In Jiangning City, there are few people who can make Li Wei and Cao Song take the initiative to visit, and the newly appointed governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Kai, is one.

He Tianpei, the former governor of Jiangsu, was a military general, and he was transferred from the post of general of Jingkou after the vacancy of the governor of Jiangsu for two years. The former governor of Liangjiang, Zha Bina, was transferred back to Beijing as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Speaking of the new Liangjiang governor, he is still an acquaintance of Cao Hao, who is the former chief soldier of Malan Town, Fan Shiyi.

Although the new governor was appointed, he returned to Beijing from his post to see His Majesty, and he had not yet taken office in Jiangning. Zhang Kai came up from Jiangxi as a political envoy, and directly from Jiangxi to Jiangning, and he was one step ahead.

Li Wei, on his side, was also promoted to the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang.

On the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, they are second only to the governors of Liangjiang, and they are not controlled by each other, except for the different schedules of the previous dynasty, the two are also equally powerful.

"Exactly, there is a will to 'suppress bandits', and I want to discuss with Master Zhang." Li Wei replied.

It's not his own responsibility, and Cao Hao doesn't want to do much inquire. Originally, I wanted to mention to Li Wei and the two of them that the gentry's children were plundered, but when I saw that they were in a hurry to go out, I also suppressed it first, thinking about it and waiting for them to come back.

Cao Song was a little excited, and said: "Big brother, the emperor ordered Lord Li to take charge of the robbery case in the seven prefectures and five states in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will listen to moderation. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was surprised.

Although this is so, Li Wei's transfer of troops is cheaper, but it is the power of the governor of Liangjiang (), and the identity of the new governor is embarrassing.

"It should have been like this a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult to transfer a few people." Cao Song said to himself.

When Li Wei heard this, he smiled a little bitterly. Cao Hao could only say "congratulations", and the door was not the place to speak, Li Wei and Cao Song hurriedly went to the governor's yamen.

These two people were not there, but Cao Hao was idle. He didn't like to go outside, so he went to Cao Song's study, took today's court newspaper and ate tea and read the newspaper.

Although it is in his younger brother's mansion, Cao Hao is still a little worried about the capital.

When he went out of Beijing, he went to Li's house once and visited Gao Taijun. The old lady is still hanging like that, whether it is good or bad. If only it could survive until the end of the year, it would be fine. If it had been a few years ago, wouldn't it have been these days......

When he came out, he also took over the household errand, otherwise, even if it was harder, it would be better to return to Beijing quickly than to work here.

Cao Hao held the teacup, a little distracted.

I heard someone outside the door: "Master, the villain has something to do!" ”

It was Zhang Yi's voice.

Cao Hao put down the teacup and said, "Come in!" ”

Zhang Yi came in in response, holding a stack of worship posts in his hand: "Master, several yamen adults in the city, as well as old people with the same grandfather, have sent more worship posts." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He only arrived yesterday, and after he came, he went directly to the General Military Mansion, and he had not yet started the meeting in the officialdom, and the news from the officialdom spread too quickly.

If the ordinary Qin is sent to the place, the news will come down from the capital, and the officialdom will be more prepared. Cao Hao this time, but under the guise of official business, he came out temporarily for family affairs, and he worked hard all the way, and the news of the post station was not so fast.

The problem has appeared in this general military mansion.

"You have also met with several stewards here in the past two days, and what is the situation in the house here. Is there anything that the second master and the second wife are struggling with? Cao Hao thought for a moment and asked.

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the officialdom in Jiangnan is different from the capital, and it is said that the officialdom sends more maidservants." The second master followed the customs of the locals, but it added a lot of people. Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Fortunately, the second wife is virtuous and can control it, but there is no chaos." The second master also had something to say, the lowly maid can accept it, how can the people's daughter dare not accept it. For this, some people were jealous of the second wife, and somehow found out about the second wife's mother's family, and chewed their tongues seriously for a while. In officialdom, wine and money have always been a good thing to bribe and give gifts. Cao Song is like this, but he can't find a big mistake. A lowly maidservant, in the eyes of the world, is like a thing, it is nothing.

But if it is a good family, it will be a lot of trouble to give someone to be a concubine.

At that time, the biological mother of the fifth son, as a prostitute, and as a Shangguan relative, entered the gate of the Cao family. Even if it is the wife of the main house, it is necessary to give three points.

In addition, there is a law in the imperial court, and the magistrate cannot take the daughter of the local people as his wife, otherwise it is also a sin for the defendant to send it out.

Cao Song did not break off the officialdom in a dissociative way, but also had a clear mind, remembering the lessons of the past, Cao Hao was quite pleased.

In this way, Jinghui is a little pitiful.

On the one hand, her own uncle fell when he was the governor of Liangjiang, and the Dong E family was wiped out, leaving only her orphan daughter. It is not uncommon for Jiangnan officialdom to remember this incident, but it is a bit too much to talk about.

Cao Hao snorted coldly, and his "compassion" for his cousin suddenly came to naught.

Jinghui encountered such difficulties, it was Cao Song's husband's fault.

As a man, he can't block the wind and rain, so that his wife has been wronged, which is really not repaired.

When I came over this time, I saw that Jinghui was stable and calm, and I thought that she was being a wife outside the house, and because of her mature experience, I didn't expect to be wronged like this.

Cao Hao has always been protective of his shortcomings, and he has no good impression of the official gentry in Jiangning City.

"You're going to keep an eye out and see who's doing it. The Cao family has only been away from Jiangning for a few years, and they are full of snakes? Cao Hao narrowed his eyes and said.

Zhang Yi responded, and from those worship posts, he pointed out two copies, and said: "In addition to the worship posts, these two families also gave a gift list, because under the guise of the New Year's ceremony, they were sent together with the things in the second master's house, and they couldn't be pushed for a while, and they were all placed in the front yard." ”

Cao Hao took the gift list and looked at it, but it was an antique inkstone or something, but it was not eye-catching.

"Be careful, don't get anything else in your hands." Cao Hao said.

If it is in the office of a direct officer, it is an officialdom practice to accept the filial piety under the three festivals and two birthdays, and it is not a fault; If you go out on an errand and accept gold and silver, you are suspected of "taking bribes".

"I looked at it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it...... If the master is worried, is it a good ...... to seal the box and put it into storage?" asked Zhang Yi.

Cao Hao waved his hand and said: "Don't be so troublesome, register the gift list, and let people take the things and objects directly to the second wife, who would expect these things to return to Beijing?" ”

After a conversation with the master and servant, Cao Hao asked him to pay more money and put it on this account, which was counted as everyone's expenses, and there were more than ten people at once during the New Year, which also bothered the second wife; The other part is used as a reward for everyone's year.

It's just that when I go out, in order to make everyone go out less and make trouble, only half of these rewards will be given, and the rest will be made up for back in Beijing; Otherwise, everyone is not afraid to eat and drink, but if they gamble and make a shame, hard work will become a sin. The governor's yamen was not far from the general army's mansion, and by the time Cao Hao finished explaining this, Cao Song and Li Wei had already returned from the governor's yamen.

Without waiting for Cao Hao to ask, Cao Song had already said as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube: "Zhang Kai is not authentic, he has no responsibility at all, and he will nag endlessly when he sees Master Li." I don't believe it, Pangjia Village really can't move, and it will involve so many officials and gentry all of a sudden? The governor has not yet arrived in Jiangnan, he is a governor, who dares to embarrass him? ”

Li Wei's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be holding his breath in his heart.

Cao Hao sighed in his heart and recounted what Wei Ren said.

When Li Wei heard this, he stood up with a "Teng" and said angrily: "What a bold thief, how dare you threaten the local government and coerce the government? ”

If Li Wei was not in charge of the anti-bandit affairs in Jiangnan, then the other party's move would really be effective.

There is an old saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. What official is an enemy of all the local gentry? Even if Li Wei is like this, the backer is directly from the emperor, and if he offends the local gentry, it will be difficult in the future.

In the past two years in Jiangnan, Cao Songcai has had a good relationship with Li Wei, and his relationship is deeper than in the capital.

Seeing that Li Wei was annoyed, Cao Song hurriedly persuaded: "It's just a little trick, why should adults take it to heart?" cleaned up the two families, and told the bandits in Pangjia Village about the rebellion, who dares to do it? ”

The words are simple, but Jiangnan is to be appeased, and Pangjia Village can be convicted as a "bandit", but it is not appropriate to make it public. Otherwise, those who are dissatisfied with the court don't know how to play......

The capital, Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Looking at the two maids on the ground, the sixteenth elder brother couldn't help frowning.

Sixteen Fujin waved his hand and sent the two of them down, Fang said: "I think it's inappropriate, then change two"

The sixteenth elder brother frowned and said: "Hengsheng is alone in the county king's mansion, and Rui didn't arrange this for him, let's go on the pole and give it away, what is this called......"

Sixteen Fujin hesitated: "Master, the third princess will not be able to leave the palace until the year after tomorrow at the earliest, and there are still two years to go...... The people sent by the palace are better than the people who are messy outside......"
