Shoko High Gate (25)

People in officialdom, how can it be sunny and snowy?

When you were young, did you have any affair with a woman in the Qinglou? When you were serving in various localities, did you engage in favoritism, bend the law for bribes, or offer or accept bribes? When you were administering the people and adjudicating cases, did you expropriate and extort money, and did you have unjust, false, and wrongly decided cases?

As soon as Jin Shouli pondered about it, he felt that as long as he checked him carefully, it was impossible to find out at all. He lifted the wine jug and poured a glass for the fourth master, "You say, over the years, no one has impeached Prime Minister Chu?"

The fourth master understood why Jin Shouli asked this. Obviously, if there was an easy way to find it, it would have been caught. Now that I have checked again, is it too late? Thinking like this proves that Jin Shouli's brain is still alive. He laughed and said: "If you are an official, where will no one be impeached? If there is really no impeachment of the official, the emperor should be suspicious." Prime Minister Chu is smart and smart, and from time to time a few people can always pop up to impeach him? But the content of the impeachment is irrelevant. What inner curtains are not repaired, what longitudinal children make trouble and ride horses to hurt people, and what is the loss of honor in front of the emperor. It's all bullshit. Besides, the emperor can be trusted, and he can use him, so he won't dare to bump into him without long eyes. It's good to find evidence, but if you can't find evidence, you may even put yourself in it. So, don't take a risk. But then again. Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. Feng Shui has always been in turn. Everyone knows the emperor's situation...... This is a courtier. The people on the dragon chair want to protect Prime Minister Chu, then no matter how true your evidence is, no one will ask deeply. But if the person above wants to ask him to vacate his seat, even if your evidence does not stand up to verification, no one will ask him deeply. Third brother, think about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Jin Shouli looked at the fourth master and smiled: "Fourth, why didn't I find you so bad before." ”

"Drink! Drink!" the fourth master handed over the wine glass, "Drunk jokes, forget what you say." It can't be true!

The two brothers touched each other gently, and everything was silent.

At night, the fourth master washed up, and Lin Yutong could still smell the smell of wine on his body. He kissed him on the mouth, and hooked the wine worm, "I want to have a drink too." ”

"In two days. The fourth master said, and kissed back, "If you don't kiss a few more times, you can satisfy your hunger." ”

Lin Yutong really pressed him and kissed him several times.

After making trouble for a long time, the fourth master gasped and helped her up, and discussed with her, "I don't think it will be possible to live out in the future, but what do you think about this part of the industry?"

"The second room will be half scored. Lin Yutong and the fourth master counted with their fingers, "There is only half of the big house left." And this half, the score is several. Grandpa Guo and his wife count as one, Jin Shouren counts as one, and Qi Duoer also has to take one. And then there's us. This has to be based on the fact that the descendants are the same. If you do the math, we actually have the least share. In addition, it is estimated that there is not much savings in this house. If you really raise a private soldier, can you still save money at home? Look, whatever you give us, we want. As he spoke, he remembered that the fourth master was not a person who cared about silver, so he looked up at the fourth master, "Why did you think of this and ask this?"

"I remember that there is a horse farm in Liaodong in this house. The fourth master whispered, "If there are private soldiers, then they must have started from this horse farm in the first place." If you look from here, you should be able to find clues. ”

"Want to test one or two?" Lin Yutong turned over and asked.

The fourth master chuckled, then shook his head and said, "Still not good." If it's really tempting, it can't be so tempting, it's too rough! ”

And Jin Shouli, who left from the fourth master, went directly to the outer study after returning and discussed with Jin Chengquan.

"Dad!" Jin Shouli poured a sip of tea and said in a low voice, "The fourth child is really a bit yin, I didn't come up with this way." He wants to borrow our hands, right? Chu Shi didn't fall, he couldn't breathe because of the pressure, but it was hard to say whether his life could be saved. ”

Jin Chengquan glanced at his stupid son, although this child also has a heart, but compared to the fourth, it is still a little worse. He hadn't taken this nephew too seriously before, but this time he knew how powerful this kid was. The people below clearly said that they had sent the daughter of the Lin family to Shiziyuan, but the next day they found out that it was a girl who sent her. That girl is also called Chu's family, and she poured a bowl of dumb medicine, I don't know where she sold it? Obviously, she put the girl of the Qi family into the bed of the fourth child, and even used the medicine, but it was obvious that it was the Lin family who had a round house with the fourth child. went around in a circle, and everyone had some accidents, just the fourth child, nothing changed. The daughter-in-law is still the same daughter-in-law. If you hadn't known you were going to do it, you wouldn't have been able to explain it.

Now that he has said such a specious thing to his son, they know that he is killing people with a knife, but they really can't resist this temptation.

"You said that the fourth child is a little overestimating us, there are some things that we can't find out. After Jin Shouli came back, his mind calmed down a little, and then he felt that the fourth child's idea was good, but he was a little confused. As far as their father and son are concerned, they really can't find out. He still has this self-knowledge.

Jin Chengquan shook his head: "You...... No one really understands. He's not asking us to check! He's borrowing your uncle's hand. ”

"My uncle?" Jin Shouli was a little puzzled, "My uncle was implicated by my grandfather...... It's been years since they were out of office. ”

Jin Chengquan pondered for a long time: "Ask your uncle in a few days." ”

"My grandfather was ...... How the hell was involved?" asked Kim Shouli in a low voice.

Jin Chengquan sighed: "It's been more than ten years......" said, as if he remembered something, "This matter, really speaking, it really has something to do with the fourth child." The Lin daughter that the fourth child married, her maternal grandfather, was still your grandfather's Shangguan ......"

"My grandfather?" Lin Yutong was stunned, "You mean the Gan family?"

The fourth master nodded: "It's the Gan family who was beheaded all over the house." The affairs of the Gan family are probably inseparable from Chu Yuan. These two people have a lot of overlaps in their careers. Chu Yuan served as the magistrate of Xuzhou, and Gan Haichao happened to inspect Xuzhou as the inspector of the imperial history. Chu Yuan served as the governor of Yizhou, and Gan Haichao was the academic administrator of Yizhou. Chu Yuan served as the prefect of Haicheng, and Gan Haichao was weaving the yamen of the mansion at that time. These two are arguably the longest-serving people in the same place at the same time. You said that such two people, one was beheaded by the emperor before he succeeded to the throne, but the other rose to the top, successively serving as the servant of the ministry, the secretary of the ministry, and the prime minister. Is there such a coincidence?"

That's true!

This Gan Haichao may not necessarily be a good official, but this Chu Yuan must not be clean.

Lin Yutong snorted: "Actually, I never thought to figure out who was right and who was wrong back then. But if it's really Gan Haichao...... If my cheap grandfather really died because of Chu Yuan, it means that Gan Haichao must have some great handle in his hands. Otherwise, the other party would not have taken the life of the family. ”

"That's it. The fourth master reached out and picked up the scissors, cut the twist on the oil lamp, and then said: "The father of the second lady Gao was a subordinate of Gan Haichao back then. was also implicated and dismissed because of Gan Haichao, and even his two sons were not able to come out. Although the second son of the Gao family was in high school to explore flowers, he is now hopeless in his career and has opened a academy outside the city...... If you don't call the Gao family to come out, can there be no Chu Yuan's handwriting here? I think, the Gao family is not so unhelpful, Tanhua has been admitted, can it only be mixed in the Hanlin Academy, can it still be mixed? It can be seen from this that the relationship between the old man of the Gao family and Gan Haichao is not an ordinary subordinate or not. The friendship is not bad. ”

Lin Yutong understood what the fourth master meant, this instigation of Jin Shouli was actually to alarm the Gao family. The two generations of the Gao family have been suppressed, and a young handsome man was stunned to have his wings broken, even if he didn't have such a deep resentment back then, now this resentment is only afraid that it has accumulated to a certain extent. If you tell them, the opportunity to turn around may be just around the corner. The last change of imperial power cost the Gan family's life. Then another change of imperial power is imminent, is it impossible to kill the Chu family.

The Gao family will be tempted!

The old man of the Gao family is also the old man of Yushitai, and Qin Hui still has a few good friends, not to mention the old man Gao. Besides, like the Gao family, there was definitely more than one family that was implicated because of the Gan family back then. These people have been inconspicuous for so many years, but if they are gathered, they are also a force to be reckoned with.

To overturn the case for the Gan family is to overturn the case for them.

Lin Yutong got up and rubbed the temples of the fourth master. It seems that he has not been idle during this time, and if he can dig out the relationship between these big and small officials and famous families in the capital so clearly, he knows how much energy he has spent. "What can I do?"

The fourth master smiled: "These things can't be found out in a day or two." Besides, everything has to be done at the right time, in the right place. How should we live our lives? No one can do nothing all day long, only the calculation of intrigue and intrigues. Man lives to live. I use my brain to bother with it, but I want to live a better life. You can't reverse the priorities. ”

Lin Yutong's understanding is that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Live a stable life, and everything else is floating clouds.

In less than two days, the first step of a stable life, the division of production, was finally delivered.

Kim Sung-an was very formal this time. Even Prince Zongzheng Lao Yu was invited to witness. In addition, there is the king of Chengjun and the marquis of Jing'an. Chu Yuan, the prime minister of Chu, naturally also came, this is not only Mrs. Chu's mother's family, but also Mrs. Shizi's mother's family. The second lady's maiden family, the Gao family, did not come, but Lin Fanghua came in person, and Lin Changqing also arrived early. Only a twenty-seven-year-old man at the head of the second master is something Lin Yutong has never seen. I just think the way this person looks at people makes people feel uncomfortable.

The fourth master turned sideways, blocked Lin Yutong, and said in a low voice: "This person is Hu Ziqi, the nephew of the old lady." ”

The big house and the two rooms are separated, and it is right to call the old lady's mother's family to come. It should be that the elders of the Hu family are gone, this person is small, but the door is big. Lin Yutong saw that his eyes kept lingering on Qi Duoer, and he glanced at himself and Xiao Chu from time to time, so he asked in a low voice, "This is that Uncle Hu?"

The fourth master said 'um', and when he saw his eyes glancing again, he was a little annoyed in his heart.

Lin Yutong whispered behind the fourth master: "Don't worry about it, I have a way to pick him up." ”

Jin Cheng'an, who was sitting at the top, coughed lightly and turned his face to look at Prince Yu, "If there is anything inappropriate, please speak up." ”

Prince Yu stroked his beard and head: "As long as your brothers have no opinion, we will give a witness." ”

Jin Chengan took out two boxes: "This is to divide the family's property into two equal parts." One for each of our brothers. The house in this house cannot be divided, but the old lady is in one day, and this house cannot be demolished. This mansion is a total of five rows and five courtyards. In the middle, we took the old lady to live. In the far west, there is a two-bedroom residence. There are still three roads left, and my three sons occupy one of them. In the future, they will live their own lives. Expenses are no longer in the public account. Even the subordinates were divided. Except for the back garden, which is public, the rest is private property. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, this is also fair. Each house is separated by a sandwich road, and there are doors on both sides. Each locks the door, and that's two families. Relatively speaking, it is relatively independent.

"Let's pick the easternmost side. She muttered to the fourth master in a low voice.

Jin Chengan didn't look at the contents of the box, and pointed to one casually, "That's it." ”

This is all negotiated by the two of them, and now they are going through a formality, so that everyone can see this brother and brother.

Jin Chengan added: "The old lady's things, after a hundred years of the old lady, will still follow this division, and then we will talk about it." ”

Jin Chengquan nodded, approving Kim Sung-an's arrangement.

Seeing that there was no dispute, Prince Yu wrote the deed, and took this to the yamen to register and transfer, and that's it.

There is only one son in the second room, Jin Shouli, and there is no need to divide it again, half of the family property of the government is actually in his hands.

Mrs. Chu's face was a little unsightly, her son was the son of the world, but the third child in the second room took the lion's share. She has worked hard for so many years, who has worked hard for whom and who has she been busy for?

Jin Chengan opened the remaining box on the table and pushed it in front of a few of the witnesses who had been invited: "Please, divide these things into four parts." The two of us will count as one, and the sons of the three rooms will each count as one. After the two of us have been a hundred years old, the three sons will be divided equally. There is only one daughter-in-law guarding the second family, and I can't treat her badly. ”

"No way!"

"No way!"

Mrs. Chu and Lin Fanghua said in unison.

Lin Changqing's face darkened suddenly, this doesn't need to be asked, this is against giving his son-in-law the same treatment as his son-in-law.

Lin Yutong pulled Lin Changgan's sleeve behind him and signaled him not to speak. Why can't you really scramble?

It's really the first time that Lin Changqing feels so close to his daughter, but if he doesn't speak, isn't this a bully for his own family?

Mrs. Chu glanced at Lin Fanghua, she was angry with Lin Yutong, but she couldn't see Qi Duo'er either. He pursed his lips and said: "According to the concubine, the concubine should divide seventy percent of the family property, and the concubine should account for thirty percent." Let's not talk about seventy-three points, at least the sister-in-law should be twice as much as the sister-in-law's industry, this is the rule that everyone follows. So, I mean, this inheritance should be divided into seven parts. We are the elders, the eldest is two, and the second is two. The fourth child occupies a share. In the second family, there is only one young daughter-in-law, and she is a widow's family, and she doesn't understand the things outside, so these things are first collected by the elders and taken care of on their behalf. When the second house is succeeded by the heirs in the future, the inheritance will be returned together with the income from these years. ”

Lin Fanghua's face turned black all of a sudden, what does this mean? It was said that it was divided into two parts, but it couldn't fall into his hands. Just now I said that I should live my own life, but I didn't even give interest, and the palace stopped the monthly silver. Is it possible to ask your daughter to live on a dowry?

As if she knew what Lin Fanghua was going to say, Mrs. Chu added: "Allocate five hundred taels of silver to the second room every year. The widow's family, no expenses, five hundred taels is more than enough......"

"Bullshit!" Lin Fanghua was stimulated by the sound of 'widow's house'......
