Chapter 53: The First Snow in Anyang (I)

Jiayue, the first snow in Anyang.

Early in the morning, Xiao Xiao was shouting outside, and trotted all the way into the moon room.

"Miss, Miss, it's snowing! It's snowing! She shouted excitedly, holding a ball of snowballs, and her hands were a little red from the cold.

Qing Dai glanced at her, "Isn't it snowing, what's so exciting, see you rushing in, the cold air is brought in, and I'm not afraid of freezing Miss." ”

Xiao Xiao, who was nagged by Qing Dai like this, was also a little aggrieved and said: "But no one has ever seen such a big snow." ”

At the beginning of the month, he smiled lightly on the side: "Chengzhou does not snow often, even if there is snow, it is not big, no wonder Xiao Xiao is like this, I also want to go out and have a look." As he spoke, he asked Qing Dai to take the cloak, put it on and went to the backyard, and sure enough, it was snowy, and the courtyard was covered in silver.

At the beginning of the month, I was also happy, "This snow is really heavy." Qingdai, at this time in Anyang City, is there a good place to enjoy the snow? ”

Qing Dai smiled when she heard it and said: "At this time, it should be the best snow appreciation in Jiuli Temple, and most of Anyang City can be seen in the Buddha Pagoda in the temple. ”

At the beginning of the month, her eyes flashed, "Okay, after breakfast, we will go to Jiuli Temple to burn incense, and then go to the top of the tower to see the snow." ”

After breakfast, the three of them went out to prepare for incense.

When he arrived at Xuanyang Street, he suddenly encountered two horse-drawn carriages rampage in parallel, overturning the vendors on both sides, and Qingdai Xiaoxiao hurriedly escorted the moon to the side. After the carriage, Xiao Xiao said indignantly: "What kind of person is this, so arrogant, Xuanyang Street is a small street, and he still collides like this." “

Qing Dai sneered, "Who can there be, just look at the style of the carriage, it is Shang Shufu who shot Xiao Ao's family, and those who clash with him are naturally from the East Party." ”

As he was talking, he saw an old man fall on the side of the street, as if he had just been hit by a carriage.

"Uncle, are you alright?" At the beginning of the month, Xiao Xiao stepped forward to help the old man. Seeing that the old man was only wearing a cotton coat, Yue Yue couldn't help frowning and asked: "Uncle, why don't you wear more clothes when you go out, it's not good if it's freezing on a snowy day." ”

I saw that the old man looked depressed, and the god muttered: "The old man only entered the city yesterday, but he didn't expect it to snow." ”

Yue Yi was stunned and asked, "The old man is a foreigner?" But come to the city to look for relatives? ”

The old man waved his hand, his eyes finally focused and asked, "Dare to ask the girl, do you know where the Dengwen drum of the Yushitai is located?" The old man searched for a long time and still didn't see Yushitai. ”

"The old man came to Beijing to fight Dengwen and drum to voice grievances?" Qing Dai asked in surprise.

The old man's eyes darkened, and he nodded without speaking.

At the beginning of the month, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and the beginning of the month said: "Uncle, this Dengwen drum can't be beaten indiscriminately, if there is no evidence, it will be imprisoned in the Criminal Department." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "The old man is already a lonely and widowed person, he is afraid of going to prison, if he doesn't tell him, my son will really die in vain."

Hearing the old man say this, Qingdai couldn't help but look at the beginning of the month, and the two looked at each other.

"Uncle, where are you and what grievances do you have, why don't you tell me that I have a friend who works in the Imperial Observatory, maybe he can help some." After much deliberation, he spoke at the beginning of the month.

When the old man heard this, he suddenly felt a little more energetic, "What the girl said is true?" ”

"Yes."

The old man nodded and told the beginning of the month.

The old man was originally from Dongqiu County, Caozhou, and his family was engaged in quarrying. Two years ago, a county order came to Dongqiu County, Caozhou, which corrupted the law and brought disaster to the villagers, and even embezzled the ICBC allocated by the imperial court to repair the embankment for private use, and used sand and gravel instead of stone to repair the embankment. Several quarrymen were naturally unwilling, so they went to the county government to make trouble, but they didn't expect the Dongqiu County Commander to beat the leaders to death with the officials. One of them was his son, who made a big fuss afterwards and gave a few families some compensation.

But the old man's son was a single family member, and the old man was naturally unwilling to do so, so he went all the way to Anyang to petition.

"If you care about people's lives like this, the state government won't care?" I was stunned when I heard the first day of the month.

"That county order is the nephew of the state capital, and the state government will naturally not stand up for us, if we have to do it, how can we not go far to Beijing to sound the drum?" The old man said sadly.

"The county order is the nephew of the state capital?" Yue Yi was stunned and muttered repeatedly.

"Miss, what's wrong? But what's wrong? Qing Dai saw that her face was different, so she asked.

"There are regulations on the appointment of local officials, and no one who is a relative of the clan can serve in the same place, and he cannot be a subordinate of his superiors." Moonlight explained.

"So there's a problem with the appointment of the ministry?" P.S. Xiao Shino.

"No, I didn't see this on the appointment documents of the Ministry of Officials in previous years," she said, her brows furrowed, "They should have changed their household registration, so it is a problem with the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

The bottom of his eyes darkened, and he reacted instantly at the beginning of the month, if it involves the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it should be involved with the East Party. If the old man goes to fight and hears the drums and complains, he will inevitably find out here, but when the East Party comes forward to intervene, the officials protect each other, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will inevitably make a big fuss, and some people's hearts will be crossed, and the lives of the old people may not be guaranteed.

"Girl? Girl? Can your friend help? Seeing that the beginning of the month and the beginning of the month were silent, the old man was also uneasy in his heart.

Looking at the old man's appearance, the beginning of the month couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, if this is the case, she can't help if she wants to, not to mention that there is no hope of grievances, but I'm afraid that even the old man's life will be put into it.

"Old man, I'm really embarrassed, my friend is in charge of the Imperial Historical Procuratorate, and the lawsuit is reported to the Taiwan Procuratorate." At the beginning of the month, he bowed his head and replied.

The old man was slightly disappointed when he heard this, and waved his hand again: "It's okay, don't blame the girl." Please ask the girl to tell the old man how to go to the Yushitai, and the old man will go to hit the Dengwen drum. ”

After listening to the old man's words, the beginning of the month became even more worried, since he already knew that there was no hope of revenge, if he sued him again in the place of Yushitai and let him express his grievances, wouldn't it be in vain to let him die?

After hesitating for a long time, at the beginning of the month, he finally decided to sue the old man about it.

The old man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he couldn't bear it at the beginning of the month, so he took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to the old man, saying: "Uncle, I really don't have anything to help you, you can use some silver taels here, and the right should be compensation." ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly refused: "How can this be, the old man is a native of Liba, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital, and the girl is willing to tell me that these are already great favors, how dare you accept the girl's money again?" ”

"Take it from the old man, our young lady just can't see others suffering, and it's better for you to take her in." Knowing that she did this at the beginning of the month because she was ashamed, Qingdai hurriedly helped.

After hearing this, the old man looked at the beginning of the month incredulously, but he didn't expect that there were many eccentric people in this capital land, so he said to the female bodhisattva with gratitude, and then left.

After the old man left, the heart of appreciating the snow at the beginning of the month couldn't help but drop to the bottom point.

"Miss Hang?!" When he was depressed and planned to return home, he happened to meet Xu Shiheng. At that time, he had just come out of a teahouse and was overjoyed to see the beginning of the month.
