Zhao Wei got Zhao Jing's message from Zhao Yuan, understood it, and immediately went to find his grandmother Zhang.

Zhang hesitated: "The matter of leaving the clan in Xiaochangfang should indeed be notified to the government, not to mention anything else, the household registration always has to be changed." Send someone to the capital, it's no problem, you can leave in two days at most. It's just that...... Do we really want to tell Tao Zhixian to let him choke Zhao Ze's qualification to participate in the imperial examination? ”

Zhao Wei was a little anxious when he heard this: "Grandmother! No matter how kind and merciful you are, don't use it on your enemies! Then Zhao Ze is not a good thing, have you forgotten? He killed his younger brother at a young age, if it weren't for the fact that he was covering up this matter, the Jiang family would not have poisoned our family, and his father and mother would not have died tragically! His eyes were red: "You have a good heart, and you can help a thousand or ten thousand people, and no one in a single small house can pity them!" ”

Zhang hurriedly hugged him: "Silly boy, do I still have to feel sorry for the enemy?" I don't want to tell Tao Zhixian about this, because I know who he is. Zhao Ze had done evil things in the past, but now he is still a half-grown child, and he doesn't know how well he does his homework or whether he is good at coaxing people. Even if Tao Zhixian had heard about his grandfather and mother, and might even have heard about the evil deeds of killing his brother when he was a child, he had only heard about it, and when he saw him, he might think that he was still a child, and there was no need to kill them all. Our family is a bitter master, and it is reasonable to leave the small long house, but it is a unique career, and it is to do this to a child, how do you know that Tao Zhixian will not misunderstand? My wife is old, but I'm not afraid that others will misunderstand. But your brothers and sisters are still young, and you are going to take the county exam next year, so that the respect of a county has a misunderstanding about you. Isn't the gain outweighing? ”

Only then did Zhao Wei understand his grandmother's hard work, and his face was ashamed: "I thought wrong." Zhang put his arm around him and smiled: "It's not your fault, it's that grandmother didn't make it clear." ”

Zhao Xiu sat aside and thought about it. He said: "Then we won't tell Tao Zhixian about Zhao Ze's qualifications for the scientific examination, we will only mention the matter of the clan to him, and he will definitely ask the reason, then we can tell him all the evil things that Xiao Changfang did." Zhao Ze's murder of his brother, whether convicted or not, his grandfather and biological mother are criminals, which is irrefutable. Whether to give such a person the qualifications for the scientific examination. That Tao Zhixian naturally knew it. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if we achieved our goal without having to be a bad person? ”

Zhang smiled: "That's a good idea. Just according to Sister Xiu's meaning! Zhao Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

After leaving the main room, Zhao Wei took his sister to a corner of the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Your idea is certainly good." But the man in Tao Zhi County is a bit bookish. What if he was deceived by Zhao Ze, thinking that he was a good boy who was eager to learn and motivated, and let him take the imperial examination, how could it be good? ”

Zhao Xiu pursed his lips and smiled: "What is my brother anxious about?" Even if Tao Zhixian allowed him to take the exam, it was still unknown whether he would be able to participate. ”

Zhao Wei Daqi: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhao Xiu leaned into his ear: "Brother didn't see it? Brother Jing specially asked Brother Yuan to come over and deliver the letter to us, so enthusiastic, obviously he didn't want Zhao Ze to stay. Not only does Zhao Ze live in the sect's house, but he will cause him trouble. That willow warbler is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Brother Jing is the eldest son, and now he is the patriarch. In front of his father, he hindered filial piety, and it was nothing to be angry, but Liu Ying, a girl in the room, wanted to rely on Uncle Yu's momentum to stir up the wind and rain, how could he bear it? I'm afraid I can't wait to get them rid of them as soon as possible, but it's just that Uncle Yu is in the way, so I can't say much. ”

Zhao Wei's eyes lit up: "You mean...... Will Brother Jing help us get rid of Zhao Ze? "As long as Zhao Ze is not here, what new tricks can Liu Ying play?

Zhao Xiu said with a smile: "Don't just talk about the sect, even other clansmen can't let Zhao Ze have a chance to turn over." You forgot? The small long house is out of the clan, and most of the property recovered is classified into the whole clan, and everyone can be stained. Compared with a promising child, isn't it more touching to get the wealth? Many clansmen have suffered disasters this year, so they don't have the patience to wait for a small long house that may not be willing to help the clansmen even if it is developed. ”

Zhao Wei smiled slightly: "Even if there are no these benefits, it is impossible for the clansmen to stand on the side of Xiao Changfang." Who told them to think too highly of themselves? There is a stinky shelf high all day long, only when the clansmen are fighting the autumn wind, and they have never looked at people squarely. Our family sponsors the children of the clan to study every year, and helps the orphans and widows in the clan. The people have eyes and naturally know which side to choose. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "My brother is reasonable, but with the benefits, they can stand in line more neatly." Not to mention anything else, just Uncle Yu of the sect, he came late, I don't know what we discussed, if he knew that most of the property to be returned to Xiao Changfang would be filled into the public property of the clan, I was afraid that Zhao Ze would be kicked out of the door immediately! ”

Zhao Xiu has come from modern times, and he can't get rid of the concept of moving people with profit, in this era, in the eyes of readers, it may not be a little above board, but when it is used on Zhao Yu, it is just right. She guessed, when he settled down, the father and son finally had time to talk about what had happened in the last few months, Zhao Jing told Zhao Yu the details of the arrangements after the little long house left the clan, and he knew that he could still get a lot of benefits from the little long house.

Although the confiscated more than 5,000 acres of land property is to be sent out by the heads of the big houses in the clan to manage it together, but the management of the field, it is impossible for everyone to sit together and discuss everything, and then decide how to do it, there must always be someone to take care of specific affairs, and the sect has always been used to doing this kind of thing, as long as you get this fat shortage, how many hands and feet can't do it? At the current price of rice on the market, one stone of rice can be sold for one or two or three dollars of silver, and more than 5,000 acres of land have 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money!

As soon as this account was settled, Zhao Yu felt uncomfortable. He remembered how the Niu family cried poverty to him when he was in the capital, and told him how difficult his family was, but how bright his future was, because Zhao Jue was supported by the bigwigs in the army and the support of the palace, although he was only a six-rank military attache at the moment. But that was from the ninth grade in five years, which can be described as rapid. As long as you stay up for a few more years, you don't dare to say that you are a marquis and worship the prime minister. But being a general or something is not a problem. Niu also promised to donate an official to him at that time, and promised his children and grandchildren a military position, at least six grades. Niu also gave him five hundred taels of silver, saying that this was his hard-earned money, hoping that he could help protect his grandson Zhao Ze and let Zhao Zeshun gain fame......

What are five hundred taels of silver? Xiao Changfang has tens of thousands of taels of income a year just from the land in his hometown, why are you crying in front of him? All the money of his clan was put together. There may not be this number, five hundred taels? What about sending Hanako?!

He must get his hands on the more than 5,000 acres of land!

Zhao Yu made a decision in his heart, and Zhao Ze left everything behind. He also complained to his son: "How can you let everyone go out of each house, and everyone will take care of it?" There are many people, each with one resignation, who will listen to when the time comes? I didn't have to delay the big thing. We are Zongfang. We should have taken care of it. ”

Zhao Jing said in his heart, everyone is guarding against you. He said, "This is the opinion of the people, and my uncle and grandmother also said that it is good." ”

"What people's opinion? It must be a ghost in the outer six rooms! Zhao Yu said disapprerovingly, "As far as their family is shrewd, I don't know?" Now there are also people in their family who have opened a grain shop, and many of the 5,000 acres of land are planted with rice, as long as the price of rice is a little cheaper than that on the market, it is enough for him to earn, and it is not the clan that suffers? No way. This matter cannot be left to the outer six rooms. Didn't you go to the steward of the little house and ask for the account books? It just so happened that Brother Ze'er was here, so I went to tell him. The account books and people must be dragged in our own hands, and we can't let the outer six rooms cover the sky with one hand! ”

He was excited to take care of this matter, and didn't pay attention to what Zhao Ze and Liu Ying said, Zhao Jing was speechless, he didn't want him to interfere, but remembering that the steward of Xiao Changfang strongly refused to hand over the account books, he felt that it was okay to let his father ask for it in the name of Zhao Ze, and when the account books were brought over, the people who went to the capital to return to the property also handled the transfer of the land, and the steward of Xiao Changfang had no authority, so naturally he didn't need his father.

Zhao Jing made up his mind, and he didn't care how Zhao Yu acted, but he suffered Zhao Ze. He didn't care about anything at home, and after returning to Fengxian, he also listened to Zhao Yu and Liu Ying's arrangement, and only cared about reading books in the room, where did he know anything about the account books? Zhao Yu wanted to borrow his name, he agreed in a daze, and he didn't know how Zhao Yu acted, and the next day Liu Ying broke into the study of the outer courtyard to scold him, how could he hand over the property of Xiaochangfang to Zongfang? He was still confused, he didn't understand what she was talking about, so angry that Liu Ying jumped to his feet and counted him down, before he rushed to Zhao Yu's side to try to dispel his intention to annex the Xiaochangfang industry.

After making such a fuss, Zhao Ze also vaguely knew that he was being used by Zhao Yu, and he was angry and panicked in his heart. If even Zhao Yu can't be trusted, what can he do in his hometown? In addition, he has to sign up for next year's county exam, and a lot of preparations have to be made. For example, the resumes of three generations should indicate the names of grandfather and mother, what if the county honorifies him on the grounds that they are all criminals, and he is not allowed to refer to them? It must be done in advance. Another example is the mutual knot, he has to know five local children who take the same exam, mutual insurance policies, and a local student with insurance before he can take the exam. Originally, these things could be solved by the clan alone, but Xiao Changfang came out of the clan, and almost all the clan agreed, could he still get the help of the clan? If not, isn't it time to go out and meet other children? The examiner's preferences should also be inquired. There is only half a year left, and things can't drag on any longer.

But Zhao Yu has no intention of helping him at all now, he says that he has something to do, and he has no time to pay attention to him, and the attitude of Zhao Jing and his wife is also very cold, what should he do? Do you want to visit a few people yourself? Whose name are you going to take? Although my father is a six-rank military attaché, no one may buy it in my hometown, if I take my grandfather's post, will my grandmother recognize it?

Just when he was entangled and hesitating, Zhao Wei had already led Zhao Jing and Zhao Kun, the son of the eighth old lady, on behalf of the Zhao clan, to visit Tao Cheng, the new magistrate of the county, and explained to him the matter of the Xiaochangfang clan. After Tao Cheng learned what happened, he said solemnly: "Such a vicious act is really outrageous. This official should go to Wenjingzhong, and let the court know about the evil deeds of Zhao Jue's family! ”

Zhao Wei didn't mention Zhao Ze's imperial examination at all, and what Zhao Jing wanted to mention was stopped by him with a look. Not to mention how Zhao Wei explained afterwards, after they left, Tao Cheng also lamented with the county Cheng that Mrs. Zhao was not easy, and reprimanded the fierceness of the Zhao family's small long room.

The county is an old man in the county, and he is very clear about the affairs of the Zhao family, so he said: "The eldest grandson of the Zhao family's small long house is also returning to his hometown to participate in next year's county examination. Is it possible that no one in his family knows the law? The biological mother of the eldest grandson is still locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, and the crime is serious, how can her son take the imperial examination? ”

"Is that so?" Tao Cheng was very indignant, and he didn't even plan to see Zhao Ze's face, so he directly informed the ceremonial room that the son of the prisoner was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and no one was allowed to be accommodating!

As soon as Zhao Ze made a little move, he was splashed with a basin of cold water, and the whole person was stunned. He was young and ignorant, and he was still doing the dream of "avenging" his mother when he was admitted to the Jinshi and became a senior official, but now his hope was shattered, and he was terrified for a while, and he didn't know what to do in the future. Liu Ying is a girl, no matter how much she is valued by her grandmother's cow, her knowledge is limited, and she can't give useful advice, so he hesitated, should he ask Zhao Yu?

Zhao Yu didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was angry now, and ordered someone to escort the steward of the small long house, and directly found Zhang: "Auntie, this slave in your family is so hateful!" He actually filled his own pockets and greedy thousands of taels of silver! (To be continued......)
