Xu Hao soon received the news that more than a dozen officials, including Chen Ying, the prosecutor, Cao Yu, the political envoy of the right cloth, and Zhang Lian, the deputy political envoy, were denounced by Tang Zong, the secretary of the prosecutor, on charges of accepting bribes from the Yan Wangfu.

The imperial court was eager to take action against the officialdom of Beiping, and once an official impeached him, he would naturally react vigorously and resolutely.

There is something strange about this, Xu Hao didn't understand that this is the case. But no matter what, it is true that Chen Ying took bribes and sold officials, this kind of person is a typical example of rampant when he has his will, and it is not difficult to be caught by Tang Zong. What's more, even if there are no bribes, there will be officials who are inclined to the imperial court to take the opportunity to disturb the officialdom of Beiping.

When Zhu Gaochi and Monk Daoyan sent someone over to ask him to discuss countermeasures, Xu Hao categorically refused, a group of bastard officials who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures, what could they save, it would be good to be beheaded.

Xu Hao saw the difference between Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di is not a person who particularly hates corruption and perversion of the law, after all, he was born as a prince and did not suffer from the same miserable suffering as Zhu Yuanzhang in his early years.

The time when Zhu Di secretly bought Chen Ying and others happened to be when Xu Hao went to Daning Mansion, and he didn't know it at all.

According to Zhu Di's character of retribution, Liu Jing's fate in the future may be very sad, and he gave up the title to his brother Liu Lian, as early as the tenth year of Hongwu, Liu Lian and Hu Weiyong's henchmen had a conflict, and they were coerced to fall into a well and die. Facing the future Yongle Emperor and the officialdom that fell against each other, Xu Hao had to think deeply about his future.

Half a month later, Xu Hao received the news from the capital that Chen Ying and others were demoted and went to Guangxi, which means that the Jianwen Dynasty swept away the harshness of corrupt officials during the Hongwu Dynasty and was unforgiving, and it was so lenient that Cheng Dù, who could not be punished as a doctor.

It's no wonder why Zhu Yunwen is deeply missed by the literati, the tragic experience of Hong Wunian's officialdom is really creepy, and it is reasonable for Zhu Yunwen to be supported by the literati.

The evaluation of an emperor as the word 'benevolence' in all dynasties is a great praise. And to whom is it right? As a person with vested interests, Xu Hao was a little at a loss, after all, he was no longer an ordinary person in the future.

It is said that the Qin family went to the Qin Mansion again that day, and saw the Miss Qin family in the inner house, wearing an ordinary plain clothes, with no reserve in her expression, her expression was calm and her eyes were clear, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her body was not fat or thin, she was indeed an authentic beauty.

The Xun family returned satisfied, and Mrs. Qin's brother-in-law, Wang Fang, walked out with a smile. In his thirties, he wears a scarf. Wearing a cashmere pimple jacket, he is a talent from Beiping Mansion.

Wang Fang said: "With the character and appearance of our girl, there is no reason for the other party not to agree, and now only the brother-in-law is nodding." ”

Mrs. Qin hesitated and said, "As you said, after marriage, it will be of great benefit to your brother-in-law's career?" But to wronged my daughter to be a concubine, I always feel uncomfortable. ”

Wang Fang said: "King Yan is the head of all the kings today, except for the Holy One, he is the most respected of His Royal Highness, and the Xu family is a relative of King Yan, sister, don't you see where the Xu family's mansion is located?" It's next door to King Yan's Mansion. Looking at Beiping, who has this status? Besides, the wife of the son-in-law is the county lord, and the second room is the young lady of the Hou family, so what is there to be wronged by our girl? ”

In this way, Wang Fang repeatedly talked about the benefits of marrying the Xu family, and the young lady of the Qin family who was standing outside the door was half angry. Silver Tooth clenched and hated her uncle to the bone, but her father Qin Da was not at home recently, so she could only endure it.

The Yin family returned to Zhuangzi and said to Xu Wen: "The girls of the Ni family are not very talented. It's not as good as the Li Niang in the yard, this doesn't need to be mentioned. That Miss Qin is a great beauty, but Lord Qin is not at home. The wife of the Qin family did not promise it personally. ”

Xu Wen was suddenly full of joy, and generously rewarded the Yin family with ten taels of silver, and the Qi family smiled with satisfaction: "What lady is the Ni family old man thinking about the third young master's side, do you know where it came from?" ”

Xu Wen said: "I said that I met in Shandong, my husband died and no one ran away, eighty percent of them were the outer rooms of the third child, and the bullshit was clean and self-conscious, which was all a cover for outsiders to see." ”

Yu Shi smiled: "Thank God, if this Miss Ni is a beauty, then what should it be?" How could the third young master's woman give it to the Ni family's master. ”

Xu Ji also smiled: "It seems that God intends to fulfill me, if I really drop one, this matter will inevitably be a little annoying." ”

The next day, when Li Niangzi heard that the big officials were going to take concubines, she turned around and went back to the house to lie down without saying a word, which made Xu Wen, who was hiding on the side, secretly happy.

The Qin family was ordered to go to the Qin family to send gifts and discuss the date of employment, and last night after the commotion of her daughter's search for death and life, Mrs. Qin became more and more hesitant, reluctantly accepted the things, and rewarded the Yin family with two taels of silver.

Wang Fang was anxious, so he blocked the Yu family in the outer house, and after informing the other party of his identity, he said: "Don't hide it, my niece is young and ignorant, since your son-in-law is willing to marry Qin and Jin, it is best to ask Princess Yan to make the decision herself, otherwise I am worried that it will be difficult for a good thing to come true, if it comes true, Wang should give two hundred taels of silver." ”

Seeing the money-eyed Qi clan, he immediately agreed, hurried home and said to Xu Wen, and Xu Wen rode to Yanwang's Mansion happily.

Princess Yan was very happy that her nephew was here at first, and she was busy letting Xu Wen in, and after listening to it, she frowned and said for a long time: "Parents should be in charge of marriage matters, how can I do it on my behalf?" And I heard you say that Miss Qin is a descendant, where do you want to be clever? Where is Miss Qin, who was born as an official eunuch? ”

Xu Wen said with an aggrieved face: "My wife, she has refused to have sex with me since she got married, do I have to keep her hard?" Since she is dead to me, then I will also treat her as dead, after Miss Qin marries, will I be able to treat her as a wife? Will it humiliate her? ”

Princess Yan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Did you offend her? ”

"Why!" Xu Wen said angrily: "Don't be deceived by her, in fact, it is a first-class domineering and jealous shrew, and even the maid at home does not allow me to move a finger, if it were not for the identity of the county lord, my father and mother would have divorced her for seven crimes." ”

Princess Yan thought that there must be something hidden in this matter, but she shook her head when she heard it, and said, "This is a coincidence, isn't it, wait for me to persuade her for you." However, I still can't come forward about your concubine, unless Lord Qin and his wife nod first. ”

No matter what Xu Wen said, Princess Yan, who was serious and sensible, just didn't agree, and there was no way for Xu Wen to return to the countryside and go to Xu Hao again.

"Tell me to help you persuade your aunt?" Xu Hao was a little funny, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, you want me to sell my relatives for glory." It's only been a few months, and you asked me to ask my aunt to take a concubine for you, isn't this a little too inauthentic? ”

Xu Wen sneered: "You have been an official for a few years, why are you still so naïve?" As the saying goes, people don't punish heaven and earth for themselves, anyway, if you don't help me, I'll tell the whole family that you are hiding in the golden house here, and I will see how you face the snow. ”

Xu Hao sighed and said: "Even if I help you, it's useless, then the master of the Qin family is the same acquaintance of the five products, even if my aunt comes forward to propose marriage, in the end, Lord Qin does not agree, what can you do?" And if Lord Qin wants to cling to the Yan Palace. Why don't you send your daughter to be a concubine? If you have the ability to make Lord Qin nod with satisfaction. ”

Xu Wen said: "You don't have to worry about it, as long as my aunt comes forward, this matter will be completed, and when Lord Qin returns home, my raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice." ”

Xu Hao said coldly: "Miss the daughter of the dignified eunuch's family, the pearl of Lord Qin's palm, do you really dare to marry someone's daughter back without the consent of the two parties?" Have you ever thought about the consequences? In case you anger Lord Qin, do you really think that the Yan Wangfu can protect you? ”

Xu Wen shouted: "I am his son-in-law." What can you do with me? ”

Xu Hao said with pity: "Wake up, you are not his son-in-law but a murderer who insulted other people's daughters, without the permission of your father, this marriage is not valid at all." Even an emperor can't be so domineering, let alone a princess. ”

"Innocent! At that time, I will personally come to the door to ask for guilt, am I Xu Wen not worthy of his daughter? It is a good thing to have Yan Wangfu Yucheng, can his surname Qin not consider the consequences? ”

After all that's said. Xu Wen's expression was gloomy, "Don't you help me say a word of pleasure, don't come to this cozy posture." ”

Xu Hao was completely disappointed in Xu Wen. This time, he said categorically: "Don't think about it." ”

"Okay." Xu Wen said angrily: "If you spoil my good deeds, then I can't make you better, let's see." After speaking, Xu Wen threw off his sleeves and left, returned to Zhuangzi, and smashed four or five tea cups in a fit of rage.

For several days in a row, the Yin family went to Qin's house to inquire about the results, but because they came too often, it aroused Mrs. Qin's vigilance, and her daughter began a hunger strike, so no matter how her brother persuaded her, she made up her mind to wait for her husband to come home.

Just when Xu Wen was at a loss, Qin Da received a message from his family Pegasus and returned to Beiping in the dust.

As soon as he got home, he gave his wife a big mouth in public, pointed at the stunned Wang Fang and said sharply: "You black-hearted brute, you dare to take advantage of my absence to seek my daughter, get out of me, and never enter the door of my Qin family in the future." ”

Wang Fang hurriedly ran away, and all the maids retreated when they saw this.

Qin Da said angrily to his aggrieved wife: "You are even willing to give your own daughter to others as a concubine? Confused. ”

Mrs. Qin covered her face and said, "Didn't I agree." ”

Qin Da sneered: "Fortunately, you didn't agree, if you promise, I have to divorce you immediately." ”

"Ahh Mrs. Qin's face turned pale with fright, and she said in disbelief: "Didn't you say that it would be nice if you could form a relationship with the Yan Wangfu, and you still wanted to marry your daughter to the king of Gaoyang County, otherwise I could listen to my brother's words?" ”

Qin Da said coldly: "Stupid, this time and that time, it is difficult for the Yanwang Mansion to make a big move, and maybe one day he will be questioned by the court and demoted to a commoner." And this Xu family is not the real Xu family, what qualifications do you have to marry my daughter? What's more, it's better to be a concubine. ”

Mrs. Qin, who understood it, didn't care about her red and swollen cheeks, and said hatefully: "There is such a thing? God, I was almost cheated by Wang Fang's brute for my daughter's life, and I didn't finish with him. ”

Qin Da's expression softened, he raised his hand and touched his wife's face, and said in shock: "This time, fortunately, I had the foresight to take refuge in the imperial court in time, otherwise I would have been detained in Beijing with Chen Ying and other colleagues to be questioned." In the future, our family will draw a clear line with the Yanwang Mansion, and we will obey the orders of the political envoy Zhang. ”

That night, Ni Liang received a message, squinted his eyes and said: "It turns out that the beauty is the outer room of the third son of the Xu family, and his wife is also a stunning beauty, but unfortunately she is the lord of the Mu family." (To be continued......)
