I want to go back to Liangxiang Yamen.

"My lord, there's an old man looking for you."

The official brought a family of old and young, led by an old man, two women and children, and two children.

Yan Chengjin took a step back vigilantly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The old man led them and knelt down in front of Yan Chengjin, cowardly: "Big man, the villain Liang Zhong wants to do cooking cakes in Liangxiang, I heard that I have to pay taxes and silver, I don't know how much silver I have to pay?" ”

Before he became a homeless person, he did a cooking cake business in Baoding Mansion, and the evil officials oppressed them, so they fled to the capital to become a homeless person.

Liang Zhong had two sons, and the eldest son starved to death while fleeing the famine, leaving only two orphans and widows.

The second son worked as a long-term worker in a workshop in Liangxiang, and the wages he received were enough to support a family of five.

Liang Zhong also wanted to work in the workshop.

However, the number of people required in the workshop is limited, and it is stipulated that only one person can be arranged for each family to work first.

Now that there are more people in Liangxiang County, Liang Zhong wants to return to his old business, make some money, and subsidize his family.

I don't know if he can afford to pay the business tax.

"Selling cookcakes?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Merchants bring their men to do business, and they always have to eat, and selling cooking cakes is a good choice.

"If you can earn three taels of silver a month, I will charge you ten yuan, if you can't earn it, you won't accept it, you can do it yourself." Yan Chengjin was careless.

Liang Zhong's eyes widened, how could he earn three taels of silver in a month, the eldest lord didn't want to collect his taxes.

"Kneel down for the eldest master, the villain's whole family has thanked the eldest master."

Liang Zhong was full of gratitude, and knelt down with the family.

“？？？” Yan Chengjin.

Out of Liangxiang County,

Xiao Jing ordered someone to carry the sedan chair over, and Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The sedan chair is stuffy, I will go back." ”

"Your Majesty, it's a long way from Liangxiang to the capital......"

Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi glared at him fiercely, Xiao Jing hurriedly lowered his head, ordered someone to withdraw the sedan chair, and followed Emperor Hongzhi.

"Li Qingjia, did you say that Yan Chengjin deliberately set up a bureau today, and he didn't dare to impeach himself, so he asked Zhang Xian to take the lead?"

Li Dongyang shook his head: "Yichen doesn't look like it, no matter how bold Yan Chengjin is, he doesn't dare to calculate Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has a slight visit, how can he know in advance, but Chang Ningbo and Ning Shou's fields in Liangxiang, can you check it?" ”

"There's no need to check, this son is extremely cautious, if it is not true, he will never dare to stand up easily." Emperor Hongji sighed.

Mu Bin on the side deeply agreed, Yan Chengjin said yes, that must be twenty percent sure.

Otherwise, this guy will never take a stand.

Yan Chengjin didn't know that his sparse performance had been listed as an exemption from inspection by the imperial court.

Li Dongyang was puzzled: "What about these fields?" ”

"The cabinet intends to return it to the people of Liangxiang tomorrow, if the two of them dare to enter the palace to make trouble, the court staff will serve!" Emperor Hongji became disgusted with his relatives.

Back to the capital,

Li Dongyang entered the palace with Emperor Hongzhi, went to the cabinet room, and drafted two decrees on behalf of Emperor Hongzhi and sent them to Ningshouhou and Changningbo's mansion.

The Zhang brothers and Zhou Yu entered the palace overnight and pleaded with Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, if there is no land, how can the Chen family feed them?"

"I can't live, I can't live."

The Zhang brothers beat their chests and fell to their feet and cried.

"The harvest is about to be completed, can Your Majesty let the ministers collect the summer grain and return it to the good country?" Zhou Yu feels sorry for 1,200 acres of land, and there is still food growing in the field, so give it all to Liangxiang for nothing?

"I don't want to see you." Emperor Hongzhi had a gloomy face, and his voice was like a bell: "Drag it out, hit twenty boards each, and let you cry enough." ”

Zhang Heling asked: "After the fight, can Your Majesty return the land to the minister?" ”

"Xiao Companion watched for me, every big board, I have to hear the sound of skin opening flesh, no favoritism!"

The eunuch dragged the three Zhang brothers out.

The three were stripped and pressed on the bench, and Xiao Jing personally supervised the execution.

The Zhang brothers are afraid, and Zhou Yu is also afraid, when they used to beat the court cane, not only did they not use it, but they could also wear a few more pairs of pants, but now they are ......

Syllable!

As soon as the stick went down, the wailing sound entered the Fengtian Palace, and Emperor Hongzhi was in a slightly more relaxed mood.

In the previous dynasty, he saw with his own eyes how his relatives Wanxi and others misled the country, and now he is repeating the mistakes of the previous emperor.

Zhang Heling was in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the minister will never dare to ...... anymore"

Xiao Jing comforted: "Don't be afraid, three lords, after eating this meal, you will be fine." ”

"Try it with a light ingot!"

"Grandpa Xiao, I want to change people, this eunuch is too strong!"

The next morning,

When I went to the court, I unexpectedly didn't see the Zhang brothers and Zhou Yu.

Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and began to review the Da Ming Law.

Learn from the past.

This is a magical book, and every time you open it, you will have many new insights.

wrote out the impeachment of the imperial court without inspection, and Yan Chengjin did it.

In Dai Shan's eyes, he became a gold medal salesman and an example for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to learn.

Yan Chengjin sent people to inquire about the news of the Zhang family brothers and Zhou Yu, but it seemed that they were blocked by His Majesty, and they didn't inquire about anything.

The next day, the sky was gray and bright.

Zhu Houzhao came to Yan's mansion overjoyed, and saw Yan Chengjin lying on a rattan chair, Chunxiao and his daughter kneading the muscles and bones on his body for him, so comfortable.

In the past few days, he has been running around in Liangxiang and the capital, and his whole body is sore, so Chunxiao and his daughter can rejuvenate his muscles and bones for him.

"Let Hongu try."

There are many companions and palace ladies in the East Palace, as well as the crown princess, and this guy is worried about Chunxiao and the flexible fingering of the daughter.

"His Royal Highness will not return to the palace again, and the minister will call Jinyiwei."

"Get up, this palace tells you a secret."

Zhu Houzhao is not good at anything, except for one good, the speed of spreading news is faster than that of optical fiber.

"There's gossip in the palace again?" Yan Chengjin stood up suspiciously.

Zhu Houzhao lay down beautifully: "The eldest uncle and the second uncle of the palace said that they want to take revenge on you, and Chang Ningbo, that night the father and emperor punished them with a board, and let Gonggong Xiao personally watch it, within half a month, it should not be able to come down." ”

Yan Chengjin had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness really brought good news to the minister." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked stunned, the eldest uncle and second uncle of the palace, don't they have a row at all?

Yan Chengjin said to He Neng: "Prepare the sedan chair, this young master is going to Liangxiang." ”

His Majesty punished Ning Shouhou and others, which means that he has granted Zhang Xian's request, and at this time, the holy decree should have arrived in Liangxiang.

As for the Zhang brothers and Zhou Yu, he is not afraid at all.

IQ is so impressive......

How can you put chilled watermelon, broad beans, spring cakes, dim sum, chrysanthemum wolfberry tea and other pastimes into the sedan chair.

Zhu Hou took care of him and said that he was going to Liangxiang, and said: "This palace will also go to Liangxiang to have a look." ”

"The minister heard that the newcomers Yang Yan and Zhanshi are very strict, Your Highness should go back to the palace."

The newly appointed James Yang Yanhe personally taught calligraphy from the Four Books and Five Classics to various families.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care: "If the palace doesn't listen, he still dares to beat the palace?" ”

Yan Chengjin didn't bother to pay attention to him, anyway, he beat the dragon whip to admit the master, and he didn't hit himself.

Sitting in a sedan chair, Zhu Houzhao got a horse and followed Yan Chengjin to Liangxiang.

Early in the morning, there was a caravan escorted on the official road.

Most of the cars I saw were two kinds of cars.

One is a package ride, and the other is a peace car.

The package is fast and not afraid of wind and rain, and the mule cart can be worn by the stars and the moon, which is suitable for long-distance travel.

The Taiping cart is an ox cart, the model is wide, thick and heavy, and the car is hung with bells, which jingle when passing by.

Both kinds of cars, one fast and one slow, have their own benefits.

Horses were scarce, and many small traders hired Taiping carts from Shunfeng Yaxing to Shuntianfu only.

Passing by Shunfeng Yaxing, Yan Chengjin opened the sedan curtain and took a look.

The scale of the tooth shop is still very small, only some horse-drawn carriages and Taiping cars, doing truck rental business, and the small merchants in Liangxiang can't take the goods, so they come here to rent a car.

Entering the main street of Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin went to the Yamen of Liangxiang, Zhu Houzhao searched for fresh things, and there was no shadow when he entered the county.
