Yang Ze asked, "Lord Simon went to this rich man's house, is he going to deal with the rich man's funeral?" ”

Jiang Gaoming hurriedly said: "No, no, the rich man has not passed away yet, how can there be anything to deal with, not to mention what kind of identity my family Assassin Shi is, how can he give a rich man to deal with the aftermath, it is his family who is too disagreeable, and it has been known all over the city, this kind of thing is easy to say, and it is not good to see that the rich man does good things on weekdays, so my family Assassin Shi Master went to his house in person, thinking about trying his best to calm down the matter, so as not to make more and more trouble." ”

Yang Ze nodded, and Wu Youren pouted, neither of them squeaked, but they understood the meaning of Jiang Gaoming's words.

The Dafang Empire attaches great importance to filial piety, and even whether the local people can fulfill their filial piety and whether there has been a scandal must be included in the evaluation of local magistrates. Ximen Xiu is the assassin of Ganzhou, the head of one party, under his rule, there is a dispute over the inheritance, for ordinary people, it is just a conversation after dinner, but for Ximen Xiu, it is a matter of political achievements, which will cause great damage to his reputation of the assassin history, of course he can't sit still, and he has to deal with this matter personally.

Since they all understand, there is no need to say it explicitly, and Jiang Gaoming, as a long history, is impossible to say some key words with passing officials like Yang Ze and them, after all, he will have to mix under Ximen Xiu's hands in the future, in case he can't say anything well and offend Ximen Xiu, then he must not be put in small shoes by Ximen Xiu.

After chatting for a while, Wu Youren excused himself to be tired and wanted to rest, Jiang Gaoming said goodbye and left very interestingly, leaving only Yang Ze and Wu Youren in the house.

Yang Ze said: "Lord Wu, this kind of fighting for inheritance is very common in the capital, right?" ”

Wu Youren snorted and said, "There are more than one million people in the capital, and there are countless foreign merchants. This kind of thing happens almost every day, but the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if the unfilial children and grandchildren fight for it, they are only fighting secretly, and generally will not alarm the government, otherwise the reputation will be stinky, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. ”

Yang Ze sighed, didn't squeak, think about it, it's the same reason. In the ancient era of filial piety, the elders had just passed away, and the younger generations began to fight for family property, which is unreasonable.

Wu Youren said again: "And it alarmed the government and started a lawsuit." The government has always handled this kind of thing as a dog-eat-dog case, and after eating the plaintiff and the defendant, it will not be soft on asking for bribes. For example, sometimes two sons, in order to compete for 10,000 yuan of family property, can be eaten by the government. It is possible that each of them will take a thousand yuan, and even sometimes, not only will they not be able to share the family property, but they will even owe a lot of debts. It's not like this has happened before. ”

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Okay, being an official is too cool, not only can you take other people's property, but you can also take it rightly." No wonder the common people are reluctant to go to court, it is really the yamen rushing to the south. If you have no money, don't come in! ”

He said: "This Ganzhou fight for family property is also too unreasonable, the father is not dead, the children and grandchildren began to fight, and the history of the assassin was tossed, it seems that the history of the Ximen assassin is really hard!" ”

Wu Youren snorted and said, "What is he working for, if there is no benefit, can he rush over in person?" It's one thing not to discredit his political comments, but it's not enough for him to go in person, send someone to reprimand him, and suppress the matter, what is he going to do in person, not for the benefit, the more children and grandchildren of the rich man's family, the better, the more disputes, the more benefits he will receive, one by one, maybe the children's hands will be soft, what is his hard work, it is too late for him to be happy! ”

Yang Ze scratched his forehead, feeling that he couldn't continue his words, not long after he entered the officialdom, his face had not yet been thickened, he really couldn't imagine that the Lord Thorn Shi, who seemed to be "diligent in government and loving the people", was actually a master of asking for bribes, it seems that he should also practice his face, otherwise he would not be able to be a good official in the future!

The two gossiped for a while, Yang Ze went back to his room, lay down on the bed, and took a nap for a while, until it was getting late, he got up, washed his face, and went to find Wu Youren again.

After only staying in Wu Youren's house for a while, someone came to report that Ximen Xiu had returned, and asked Wu Youren and Yang Ze to meet in the front hall, and the two went out together, and were led by the servants to the hall.

Outside the hall, under the steps, there were two people standing, standing behind was Jiang Gaoming who he saw during the day, and the one in front must be Ximen Xiu. I saw that this Simon Thorn was only about fifty years old, with a big round face, two squinting eyes, a big nose, and thick lips, and he looked honest and sincere, and he was quite charitable and kind.

Ximen Xiu had already listened to Jiang Gaoming's report, in fact, when he was in the rich man's house, Jiang Gaoming had already sent someone to inform him of this, but he was dealing with tricky things at that time, and he really couldn't get out, so he came back at this time, not intentionally snubbing Wu Youren, and he didn't have the courage to snub a central housekeeper in the Feng Pavilion, and he was not so bold.

Seeing Yang Ze and Wu Youren coming, Ximen Xiu smiled all over his face, walked quickly to meet him, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Xiaguan Ximen Xiu, I have seen two adults, I really have an urgent matter today, and I can't come out to greet him, forgive my sins!" "In terms of his grade, even if he is called a subordinate official to Wu Youren, he doesn't need to be called a subordinate official to Yang Ze, which is really too polite, but his words and the expression on his face did not make others feel that he was flattering, but had a feeling like a spring breeze.

Wu Youren also hugged his fists and said with a smile: "This official passed through Ganzhou, and stayed here, causing trouble to Lord Ximen, we are embarrassed!" ”

"Where did this come from, Lord Wu is too polite." Ximen Xiu said repeatedly, he looked at Yang Ze again, and a series of praises came out, praising Yang Ze for his young and promising years, and he became a general when he was less than twenty years old.

After praising Yang Ze, Ximen Xiu took the initiative to take Wu Youren's hand and said, "Lord Wu, you must not recognize the lower officials, but the lower officials remember you!" I think that back then, Xia Guan was still serving in Beijing, and he had seen Lord Wu from afar, and he felt that Lord Wu was superb and a dragon among people. It's a pity that the status of the lower official was humble at that time, and he didn't dare to come forward to talk to Lord Wu, and he couldn't make friends, which is a pity. ”

Wu Youren was stunned, he really didn't remember where he had seen Ximen Xiu. But just now, people also made it clear that they had seen it from afar, and then they began to admire it, which made him unable to confirm where the two had met. Knowing that this is a relationship, he is almost flattering, but he can only admit it!

Wu Youren had no choice but to say: "If I knew Lord Ximen in Beijing as early as possible, then I would have to make friends!" ”

This is also a kind word, but this Ximen Xiu showed a moved expression on his face, took Wu Youren's hand, and said, "We really hate to see each other late." Since you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't we ...... tonight?"

When Yang Ze heard this, he thought to himself: "It's bad, this is a precursor to worship." In the next sentence, I think I must be a brother, I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I hope to die on the same day and month of the same year, Brother Wu, you have to hold on. Don't just meet and make a brother. It's your loss! ”

Wu Youren is a fool, he is very good, he is an official in the Feng Pavilion, even if it is a piece of wood, he will be trained into an old slippery head!

Wu Youren didn't wait for Ximen Xiu to finish speaking, then interrupted: "Yes, let's really see each other like each other, why don't we have a good drink tonight and talk about this interesting story in Ganzhou!" ”

He sealed the conversation, Ximen Xiu was naturally interested, and he didn't expect to be able to make friends with Wu Youren all at once, but adhering to the principle of not letting go of the opportunity, that's why he said that, under the temptation, Wu Youren was unwilling, if he mentioned it again, then he would be too uninteresting!

Ximen Xiu didn't have any embarrassed expression on his face, but said happily: "Yes, yes, let's have a good drink tonight, and we won't get drunk or go home." Come on, General Yang, let's go in together, Xiaguan has already prepared the best table noodles in the kitchen, which are all Ganzhou specialties and can't be eaten elsewhere! ”

This Simon Assassin Shi stretched out his other hand affectionately, grabbed Yang Ze, and the three of them entered the hall side by side. Jiang Gaoming followed behind, his face was also full of smiles, and he did not feel even the slightest bit unhappy because he was left out.

Yang Ze saw it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Look at the appearance of these two people, they are both materials for being big officials, Thorn Shi is good at pulling relationships, and Changshi Chengfu is extremely deep, they are all powerful characters, at least the thickness of the skin is extremely powerful, I am absolutely inferior to them!" ”

After entering the hall, Ximen Xiu must invite Wu Youren to sit on the seat, Wu Youren refused, he did not sit, Wu Youren had to sit on the chairman, Ximen Xiu asked Yang Ze to sit in the second seat, Yang Ze grinned, he is just a six-grade general, how can he sit on the seat of the assassin history, this is too unruly, you need to know that in the officialdom, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and the seat must not be mistaken, otherwise it will be a big faux pas.

But Ximen Xiu came to that set again, if you don't sit, I won't sit, and the two of us will always stand like this. Yang Ze couldn't, so he had to confess his guilt, sat down in the second seat, turned his head to look, and saw Wu Youren smiling at him, he had to smile back, and the smile was inexplicable.

Ximen Xiu and Jiang Gaoming both sat down, Jiang Gaoming clapped his hands, and the servants waiting outside entered with plates, and in the blink of an eye, the big table was full of dishes, there were as many as forty or fifty!

In the Dafang Empire, the rich people eat at one table for each person, using a separate meal system, only ordinary people's families, and poor people's families, will eat at one table, which is somewhat different from modern eating habits.

But tonight's banquet was set up on a large table, a big table, enough for twenty people, and four people sat very close, maybe Ximen Xiu wanted to be close to Wu Yourentao, so the banquet was set up like this.

The four of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and after eating for a while, Yang Ze asked, "Lord Ximen, are you going to do something today?" ”

Ximen Xiu smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, there is nothing to go along with or not, the lower officials have already reprimanded them, if Yan Laocai is dead, then what about the family property, it must be determined by the government, and they can't make noise by themselves, if it goes on like this, how can the Yan family's face exist, it's too unusual." After being reprimanded by the lower officials, they were honest. Now just wait for Yan Laocai's future affairs to be completed, and the lower officials will divide the family property among them! ”

His words were very direct and clear, without any cover-up, similar to what Wu Youren said before, that is, he was going to take the rich man's house and make a good profit.

Yang Ze said: "The rich man's surname is Yan, he has not passed away, he has made a fuss like this, if he is still sober, wouldn't he be heartbroken?" ”

Ximen Xiu nodded and said, "It's sad, it's pitiful." But what can be done, he has a stroke, he is old again, he will definitely not be cured, even if he is sad, he will not be hurt for long, alas, good people are not rewarded! ”

Wu Youren suddenly said: "Can't be cured?" Not really! As he spoke, he looked at Yang Ze.
