The sea of officials rises and falls. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment when Liu Yongan was dismissed and Liu Chengfang was imprisoned, Qiao Chaoyang was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Officials, and became the Ministry of Officials.

Qiao Chaoyang had just arrived at the ministry, but he overheard the news that Liu Chengfang, the prefect of Xiangyang, was in prison pending trial. His grandmother's nephew, Deng Ji, wanted to give gifts to the two squires through him, hoping that they would recommend the position for their relatives.

Qiao Chaoyang thought of Liu Yongan's refusal to marry the princess, and knew that someone had taken the opportunity to suppress the Liu family, so he had to go to Liu's house in person to find Liu Yongan to talk about it.

In fact, when he asked Master Qian to give Huoshan's tea mountain to Wang Jing, he planned to bury his feelings for her deep in his heart and seal it from then on, but he was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to tell the rescue by mistake, so he came over by himself.

When Liu Yongan learned that Qiao Chaoyang was visiting, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Anyone who has such a rival who is better than himself in everything is inevitably a little nervous. However, he quickly put away his emotions and met him in the outer study.

He subconsciously didn't want Wang Jing to see Qiao Chaoyang.

"Something happened to the fourth uncle...... Qiao Chaoyang told everything he had heard.

Liu Yongan solemnly thanked Qiao Chaoyang, he and Wang Jing did not know these news at this time, Zhang's trust Liu Yongsheng sent it, Haozhou is far away from Dadu, and his itinerary is not as fast as the official.

Qiao Chaoyang reminded: "It is rumored that Ning Liyang is very greedy, and he will repay it. "Ning Liyang is the prime minister of Jiangbei Province, Henan, and Liu Chengfang's boss.

Speaking of Ning Liyang, Liu Yongan's face couldn't help but change greatly.

Liu Chengfang has been an official for many years, and generally speaking, the official style is upright and has won the support of the people, especially the Tongzi Academy he built, which has cultivated a large number of talents and is famous in the Jiangbei area of Henan.

In fact, most of the people who are upright are not greedy or less greedy. Since he is not greedy, the gifts from his boss are less than others. It's okay to give a small gift, but Wang Jing and Liu Yongan had fished a golden fish king in the lake on the way to Lu'an, and this fish king was given to Ning Liyang by Liu Chengfang's envoy, so that he could bleed once and give 1,000 taels of silver to the fishermen who sent the fish.

Liu Chengfang had already shown himself in front of Liu Yongan: "Ning Liyang is such a person who picks the door, your father can actually ask the people for a thousand taels of silver in his hand, and it can be recorded in the Henan Jiangbei Provincial Chronicle." ”

I am afraid that my father will be impeached at this time, and the first one who will not let him go is Ning Liyang.

Liu Yongan sent Qiao Chaoyang away, and his heart was like a mess.

If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have had to suffer such a great sin.

But something happened to his father, and he, as the eldest son, had to stand up. Not to mention anything else, Ning Liyang must be dealt with immediately, but he has never taken care of money, and this matter must be his own, and it is urgent.

He had no choice but to find Wang Jing, "Jingjing, lend me 20,000 taels of silver first, and pay you back later." ”

Wang Jing was shocked, he asked for so much silver, something must have happened.

"But at home?"

Liu Yongan nodded, he had never helped her earn a penny, but now he wanted to ask her for so much silver, he was very guilty.

"Someone has joined the father?"

Liu Yongan couldn't help but sigh: Wang Jing's sensitivity to political affairs is much better than him.

He was going to hide it from her, but he had to tell her at this time.

Wang Jing immediately went to the inner room and took 20,000 taels of silver tickets, "Don't panic, the case has not been tried yet, and my father will be fine." Ordered Shuangxi to hand over the silver money to Lord Gu, who participated in politics. ”

Liu Yongan was stunned.

"Lord Gu's wife's surname is Liao, and she is Mrs. Liao's sister-in-law." Wang Jing explained, afraid that he wouldn't understand, so she hurriedly added: "Mrs. Liao, Xu Qing's mother." rashly asked Shuangxi to find Ning Liyang, he might not necessarily accept this money. ”

People who can be a first-class member, even if they are greedy, this caution must be there.

Liu Yongan was embarrassed, and he didn't pay attention to the intricate relationship between these officials.

"Father's business, don't make a public announcement first, I will prepare a gift, you first go to Dashiqiao Hutong to visit Liu Chengxing, the fifth uncle of his own family, who used to be a scholar in the Criminal Department."

This is the news that Liu Yongan asked to inquire about the officials of the Criminal Department.

Liu Yongan: There is such a family, it's just that I don't have a long memory when my mother said this, I haven't been there when I was an official before, and now people in the past are estimated to have a bad heart.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Wang Jing said: "I went to visit when you first took office, and when you were injured, the fifth aunt also came over, but unfortunately you were weak at that time and fell asleep." "Now that I'm in good health, I'm just going to visit my elders.

Liu Yongan just went.

Liu Chengxing was very happy to see this nephew who was not afraid of the powerful, and the two began to drink in the afternoon and drank until late at night.

Liu Yongan came back in the middle of the night and told Wang Jing: "Master Shangshu Gu of the Criminal Department likes cockfighting. ”

The foundation of the Liu family is too shallow, Liu Yongan was only a jinshi last year, those who were born poor in the same year were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they have the spare strength to help him, and those with better conditions, seeing that he offended the queen mother and princess, it was too late to avoid him. But there is no way to erase the blood relationship, and the people who can be seen now are those who are related to the Liu family, even if they don't help, at least they won't fall into the ground.

Of course, there are also those who fall into the ground, such as Liu Yongan's little uncle, who scolded him twice after knowing that Liu Yongan refused to marry Princess Wellcome. Even more cruel words, if you don't admit your mistake to the princess, your aunt said that she will never recognize you as a nephew again.

Liu Yongan said lightly, "Okay".

The Hu family was afraid of being implicated, so they drew a line with him as soon as possible.

Everyone has their own ambitions and can't be forced, what Liu Yongan can do is naturally only to satisfy this uncle.

Of course, he didn't let Wang Jing know about these things, so as not to make her unhappy.

Since he got the news from Qiao Chaoyang, Liu Yongan's heart has been heavy, even if he found out that Shangshu of the Criminal Department likes cockfighting, but he has never played cockfighting, and it is just chicken ribs to know that people have this hobby.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jing smiled and said, "Brother has sent someone to keep an eye on the gate of Lord Gu's house?" ”

Liu Yongan said: "The pie is a pie, but our family doesn't raise fighting cocks." ”

Wang Jing glared at him, "As the head of the family, why don't you even know what is at home?" ”

Liu Yongan was surprised: "Could it be that we really have cockfighting at home?" ”

Wang Jing nodded proudly.

In the capital, how can you become a lackey who can't fight cocks?

Liu Yongan will be suspicious, why doesn't he have any impression of this?

Wang Jing: "Zheng, you take the uncle over to see those fighting cocks." ”

Zheng said: "When we came here last year, my grandmother bought these fighting cocks back, and I also bought a chicken slave." As he spoke, he led Liu Yongan to the corner of the garden.

Zheng Zheng is only seven years old, but her speech is old-fashioned, she is from Huoshan, she is simple by nature, and she is not afraid of Liu Yongan like other maids, and her tone is a little disgusted with how he doesn't even know what his own family has.

was disgusted by such a small yellow-haired girl, Liu Yongan was very depressed.

"Just because you have a cockfight doesn't mean you can win."

"Grandma said that she will win every gamble."

Liu Yongan's belly: Blow!

But he suddenly remembered that when his father was still raising fighting cocks before, Wang Jing would treat fighting cocks, and later won a lot of silver from others.

Thinking like this, he was full of hope for the fighting in front of him. (To be continued.) )
