Sister-in-law Yang and other servants have long been guessing that the ninth young master is the seed sown by his own master, but it has not been confirmed, but now that he understands, he can't help but suddenly say: "When I was strange about the moon wine, all the masters of the family, the sixth old lady in the third room, the seventh master, the eighth master in the fourth room, and the seventh uncle, all said something not very good. At that time, the old lady couldn't listen to it, and after a few arguments, they all said that the blind old man was fooling. Well, dare to love the fat water and not fall into the fields of outsiders, how can it be the blood of the old Wang family. ”

"Don't make a noise, if the aunts know about it, then what's the deal?" Lord Wang hurriedly reminded him, and said: "They complained and complained, why didn't they say anything when Xiao Jiu's name was filled in the family tree?" ”

"I probably knew it at that time, and besides, who is not afraid of you, master?" Sister-in-law Yang smiled.

Lord Wang asked again: "You said that Miss is unruly, what is the evidence?" ”

Sister-in-law Yang said: "Where can I get the evidence for the things in the bed?" It's easy to get credentials, and give birth to a child. ”

Lord Wang frowned and said, "Why didn't the doctor say it?" What a bastard, for me to trust him so much. ”

Sister-in-law Yang said: "Say it to your face, if you don't collapse the master's stage, everyone can't hang it on their faces." ”

Lord Wang didn't believe it after all, but it was not good to ask the baby daughter, and it happened that someone invited a matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye, and the other party's family background was good, so he hurriedly hired nearly a hundred needle thread people, sewed wedding dresses day and night, bought a rich dowry, and sent his daughter away with gongs and drums.

In less than half a month, the new aunt came to Daxing angrily to ask the master of sin, asking where the contents of Miss Wang's stomach came from? Fortunately, Wang Bagui was the political envoy, and he said that he was willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to give his son-in-law a few beautiful concubines, and secretly calmed down the turmoil.

Editor-in-chief Zhao said softly: "Later, I learned that my uncle accidentally learned about the scandal of Miss Wang's family, and specially came to ask for a kiss, so that it was not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune." ”

Xu Haoxin said that he is another pick-up man who likes to be a father. In order to become an official, he gave up everything.

You Xiucai said: "It's a shameless thing, it's all done by people who are officials, it's not strange!" ”

Early the next morning, Editor-in-Chief Zhao summoned all the readers and said to his face: "In my opinion, Yongshun is no longer a safe place, although Governor Li went back yesterday, forgive him will not be reconciled, and he will definitely take revenge." I want you to be young and strong, don't stay in your hometown and waste your time, it's better to find another place to study. Or maybe make a career. At least three years later, Governor Li left and came back. ”

When the scholars heard this, they all said that the gentleman was reasonable, but they looked at each other and couldn't come up with an idea. What I am afraid of is that if I leave Editor-in-Chief Zhao, the local government will come to arrest people, and I hesitated for a long time, and I will not be able to make a decision after all.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao smiled: "If you are willing to go out, I will have a way to protect you." As long as you are sent to Liaodong, you don't need to worry about the government. ”

This is Xu Hao's meaning, and I hope that through this incident, these readers will open their eyes. Seeing that they all nodded, some said that instead of worrying at home and going out to the sea and the sky, why not do it; Some say that the old death is under the window. After all, you can't do a big career, so it's better to go out and experience it and increase your knowledge.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "That's good." Pack up, and I'll see you off tomorrow. ”

Everyone nodded and was talking, when someone shouted outside the window, "Mr. Zhao, is Mr. Zhao in the house?" ”

I saw a messenger being led in, and he arched his hand and said, "I have been ordered by the Lord, and my lord has specially prepared a few water gifts and asked Mr. Zhao to reward them." There is also a letter here, please Mr. Zhao to look at it. “

As he spoke, he held the letter in both hands, and Editor-in-Chief Zhao received the letter in his hand, and was about to open it, when he turned around and ran out, calling the people who came with him to bring in the gifts he had sent.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao hurriedly read it, knew the intention of Governor Li's mansion, and the things he sent, and noted them one by one in the letter, and said: "Don't take it in, I will never accept it." ”

When the messenger heard this, the whole person was stunned, and he was stunned and didn't say a word.

Editor-in-chief Zhao said: "You go back to worship your master, I already understand his love, and I am not a gift from others." As for these people, I will send them to Liaodong tomorrow, and when I send them, I will still come back, and then I will visit your master. ”

The messenger blinked and said, "When I came down, I had a message that if Mr. Zhao didn't appreciate the things he sent, he wouldn't be allowed to go back." Mr. Zhao! Your old man is finally pitiful, so let's take it. ”

Editor-in-Chief Zhao smiled: "This is strange! Whether to send it or not is up to him, and whether to receive it or not is up to me, how can there be any reason to force others to accept it? Okay, you go back quickly, it's vexatious to stay here. ”

After saying that, he got up and went into the back room, but he had no choice but to ask someone to carry the gift out, and he went in himself to ask for a reply.

Editor-in-chief Zhao said: "You go back and tell your master, I said everything in person yesterday, and there is no need to reply." ”

"There is no reply, and the reward sticker is also called a small sales difference." Send someone to seek the word.

I don't want Editor-in-Chief Zhao to have Xu Hao behind his back, and he is not afraid of a prefect, so he made up his mind not to save any face for Li Deng, and wanted to do a good deed, so he said with a cold face: "Go back, don't be bored." ”

The messenger had no choice but to talk out, and the family members who came with him said: "There is no reply from the master, and it is okay if the hand sticker is not poured." We don't accept gifts, but the people from our government come out to give gifts, and there is no reward, so there should always be money, right? What is this? ”

"Fuck off!" The messenger was a little annoyed, "Open your dog's eyes and see, who is that?" Good to ask people for foot money? I really don't know whether to live or die. ”

Moreover, Li Deng was waiting for a reply, thinking that he could not ignore his own face when he gave him a gift this time, and did he not want to curry favor with the dignified prefect with unlimited future prospects? Even if he is old, he doesn't think about future generations? What is just a few shows? Maybe because of this, I will hand the person back, and I promise to take it lightly, and I can give an explanation to the top.

The person came back, and his face was gone, and it was nothing more than a year and a half of shut-up, so that the locals would know what happened to the person who offended me, and they were happy thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the family came back with their heads down, and Li Deng hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Mr. Zhao?" Can you take something? How so? Did you bring those people back? ”

The messenger whispered, "The man saw it, but he didn't take it, and he didn't bring it back." ”

Governor Li hit a muffled thunder on his head, and said in his heart, why don't you even accept a thin gift? Is it too little? Busy asked again: "What did you say after reading my letter?" Do you have a reply? ”

The messenger said, "He saw it, and he just smiled." Said I knew, no reply. ”

Li Deng was immediately furious, and said angrily: "It's really a big shelf, since there is no reply, what about the hand sticker?" How to write it? If you don't accept my things, you have to have an explanation, right? ”

The messenger said, "Master, there is no hand sticker." ”

Li Deng became more and more annoyed, and said hatefully: "My good things are all bad in the hands of you bastards!" I specially sent you to give gifts, where is the usual way to speak? No reply was made. I don't have a sticker, I don't know if you're going to fake it, it's just a fucking dead man, what do I want you to do? Rubbish. ”

The aggrieved poor man didn't dare to make a sound, his brother-in-law Lai Daquan slipped away early, Li Dengzheng scolded, and saw the subordinate who carried the gift box walking in, and said angrily: "People didn't accept it, what are you doing here?" Return the fruit to the shop. It's useless to say I'm useless. The chickens and eggs were also returned, and the sheep were slaughtered in the kitchen, and at noon I drank the mutton soup, and told the bookkeeper to pay a heavy gift. ”

The gift of daring was not sent. His old man didn't break a penny, and it was all included in the prefect's three public funds.

The next situation was like a storm, and before Xu Hao could make a move, the imperial court had already reacted. In order to handle the donation, he severely reprimanded the Hunan officialdom and ordered the right-hand political envoy to return to Beijing to report on his work, and the left-hand political envoy Fu was shocked into a cold sweat. Without waiting for the imperial court to send a messenger, Li Deng and other officials were immediately dismissed.

Editor-in-chief Zhao, Wu Jing and others were overjoyed, and now they didn't have to leave, and they couldn't help but praise the efficiency of the imperial court's vigorous and resolute actions.

Xu Hao guessed that it was because he arrived in Hunan that he attracted the attention of some ministers and preemptively rectified the Hunan officialdom. But in this way, it is just a dismissal and investigation, and it is foreseeable that no one will die, and he has an explanation for himself and the people, which can be described as a typical officialdom practice.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, after all, it was impossible for him to blatantly do anything when the matter was a foregone conclusion. Let's be honest again, officialdom has been a big mud pit since ancient times, and if you compare it with shameless officials who have no lower limit, you will lose.

What is interesting is that Li Deng is very open-minded, anyway, the dismissal is not a disappointment from office, the establishment is still there, who let the top fall. When I go back and look for a way, I can't guarantee that one day I will be able to make a comeback, this mentality is really rare.

When waiting for the handover, he knew that his reputation in the local area was very bad, and he wanted to give him a few Wanmin umbrellas, and on the day he left, he would find two squires to take off his boots for him, and he would also ask a filial piety or Jinshi Gong who was good at eight shares to make an inscription on the moral and political monument for him, and he also wanted to set up a shrine for him in the local area, so that when he returned to Changsha, he could also cover up his own actions.

There is no lower limit to being really shameless, so it is inconvenient for me to say it, so I asked the master to discuss it with the county order.

The county magistrate was very speechless, and said euphemistically: "Don't hide it from the old master, our Taizun is a strong official, but the people don't know how to do it, and there are too few days, although there are many virtues and politics, but it has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." It's because of this matter, the brother is also a little inconvenient, it is better to go to Liu Zhuting, Grandmaster Zhou, the two of them are still familiar with the people in the place, maybe they can talk about them, but I don't know. ”

The master hurriedly said: "I Dong Weng has said, as long as they are willing to be famous, it is the money to make the umbrella of the people, and the money for building the ancestral hall, all of which will be taken out by Yi Dong Weng himself, and he must not break the bank, this is okay, right?" ”

The county magistrate said: "Since Taizun takes the money himself and opens a few names at will, why should he alarm them again?" Whether you are willing or not, there are many discussions. ”

The master is a native of Shaoxing, and he thinks that the master of Shaoxing has almost monopolized the officialdom of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he can be described as an expert in this kind of thing, so he said unhurriedly: "The matter of building a temple, Dong Weng said, and there is no need to build a large number of buildings." I remember that there is an empty courtyard at the back of the academy, there are three empty houses in it, and there is another door outside. ”

The county order said: "It can be regarded as working, but on the day the umbrella is delivered, there must be a few showmen who will send it, who should I look for?" ”

"It's easy." The master smiled, "If others don't come, the secretary in the yamen of the lord, won't it be over if you order a few people?" ”

The county order was puzzled when he heard it, and the master said: "Adults should know that the secretary can wear black yarn, so let them wear azure coats and black yarn together, are you still afraid that they won't come?" As for taking off his boots, he asked the officials to do it, and it could also cover people's ears and eyes. Only filial piety or jinshi, it is not easy to make an inscription, and you have to ask adults to help solve it. (To be continued......)
