Chapter Eighty-Five: The Origin of the Blessings
The end of the year passed quickly, and it was the first month in a blink of an eye.
The city of Kyoto has been very lively for a few days, and the Anraku Mansion is no exception.
An Le Gong is from a bitter background, knowing the difficulties of the people, he rarely embarrass them on weekdays, and during the New Year's Festival, he bought two sets of new clothes and sealed a big red envelope.
Up and down the house, nature is happy. Even Aunt Hua didn't shout for a salary increase anymore.
Zhu Ping'an and An Le Gong went to the palace to celebrate the New Year for the emperor and his grandson, and were pulled by Fu Dilanxian and others to get together every day, and the days were a little busy.
It was easy to be empty on this day, and he didn't leave the house, so he walked around the house with his hands in his hands, and saw Laifu sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.
Zhu Ping'an's heart moved, he paced slowly, and asked with a smile, "Laifu, what are you doing here, do you miss a woman?" ”
Laifu was out of his mind, and was startled by Zhu Ping'an, and quickly stood up, and said with a bitter face, "The young master made fun of Laifu again......"
"The young master didn't laugh with you. The so-called men should get married, and women should get married......"
Zhu Ping'an was serious at first, then lowered his voice in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile, "How about you look at the lily?" If you like it, the young master will help you match? ”
"Young master, don't make fun of Laifu...... Lily is the eldest girl in the house, and in the future, the lord will definitely promise her to a big family to be a wife. Blessing is just a subordinate, where can there be such blessings......"
Laifu's face turned red, and those freckles shone slightly.
"Eh......, she's a maid, you're a scholar, a natural pair, isn't it just the right match?"
Zhu Ping'an smiled and said solemnly, "What's more, if the young master gains power in the future, I can't say that I have to get an official for you, this official's wife, it is safe to ensure that Lily is safe......"
Laifu only thought that Zhu Ping'an was joking, where did he dare to respond, but he just excused himself again and again.
"Lily marries or not, and Benhou doesn't dare to guarantee. But it's not difficult to get a petty official for you to be in charge. ”
Zhu Ping'an made up his mind in his heart and didn't say anything more.
"By the way, Laifu, this Chinese New Year, everyone else went out to visit relatives, why are you alone in the house, and you don't go home to take a look?"
Zhu Ping'an had long been surprised, the people in the house had relatives inside and outside Kyoto City, that is, Laifu, and he had never heard him talk about his family. Zhu Ping'an didn't know if he lost this part of his memory when he crossed over, or if Laifu hadn't mentioned it to him in the first place.
"Young master, there is no family in Laifu, this house is Laifu's home."
Listening to Zhu Ping'an's question, a different color suddenly flashed in Laifu's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal.
Although he deliberately concealed it, where could he escape Zhu Ping'an's eyes.
Zhu Ping'an said in his heart, "There must be something here." ”
He stopped asking Laifu questions, laughed a few more words and walked away.
…………
After dinner, Zhu Ping'an came to An Legong's room and asked him about the origin of Qifu.
An Legong didn't know why Zhu Ping'an suddenly asked about it, but this was not a secret, and there was nothing to hide. So, he explained in detail the origin of the blessing.
"This matter has to start with the lawsuit a few years ago......
An Le Gong took a leisurely sip of tea.
More than ten years ago, after being introduced, An Le Gong bought hundreds of acres of land in Ping County, which is fifty miles away from Kyoto.
At that time, it was all wasteland, and there was no output.
Later, An Le Gong asked people to reclaim it, and it took great effort, and after a few years, these wastelands were turned into fertile and fertile fields.
Seeing that the annual output was quite abundant, the original seller was a little red-eyed and regretted it.
The seller didn't know the identity of An Legong, relying on his own backers in the imperial court, he found the local director who was doing some land for An Legong, saying that he wanted to buy the land back at the original price.
When the principal heard this, of course he didn't dare to make the decision, so he hurried into Beijing to report to An Legong that he knew.
An Le Gong was naturally furious when he heard this, and said in his heart, "How much silver did Lao Tzu spend to reclaim this land, and you actually want to come and pick up the cash cheap?" If you want to bully people, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person......"
After so many years in Kyoto, it's good not to bully others, but I didn't expect someone to dare to lie to me.
The more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was angry, he wanted to look for other people's troubles.
Who knew that before An Le Gong had a seizure, the seller was impatient to wait, and a complaint was directly sued to the county government of Ping County.
The seller's surname is Xu Minglian, and he is Cheng Yaowen's eldest brother.
At that time, Cheng Yaowen had not yet become a waiter in the ministry, and he was still the head of the ministry. Although he is not a court official, he is also a powerful figure.
The magistrate of Naping County saw that the first person was the eldest brother of Cheng Yaowen, the head of the Ministry of Officials, and accepted a lot of benefits from Xu Lian, so he was naturally on his side.
So I found witnesses, made confessions, worked hard, and made all the arrangements properly, before issuing a ticket for the defendant to go to court to judge the case.
After receiving the letter sent by his subordinates, An Le Gong was even more furious.
He thought about it for a moment and sneered, "Since you have taken the road of the government, then we will come clearly, so as not to say that I am bullying people......"
An Le Gong naturally did not come forward, so he sent the most famous lawyer in Kyoto City to Ping County to deal with the lawsuit.
Nazhi County didn't expect that the defendant was An Legong.
At this time, the matter came out, and I learned that the original buyer was the prince of Anle in the current dynasty, but it was too late to regret it.
When Xu Lian heard this, he was also a little worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but retreat.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaowen was young and vigorous at that time, relying on his real power position in the Ministry of Officials, and wanted to wrestle with this idle An Le Gong.
The result was naturally a complete failure, not only could the land not be bought, but Xu Lian also really accompanied a large sum of silver, which was considered to calm An Legong's anger.
"If you want to make up your mind on our heads, it can be regarded as an iron plate ......"
Zhu Ping'an smiled and said, "But Dad, what does this have to do with Laifu?" ”
"It was the year when your father and I went to Ping County for the first time, and I met Laifu on the street. It was freezing cold, and he was begging on the street alone, and when his father saw that he was pitiful, he took him back to his house. ”
An Le Gong sighed leisurely.
Zhu Ping'an knew that this was his father remembering his life experience again.
"Speaking of which, Laifu and Cheng Yaowen's eldest brother have a lot to do with it......
Laifu's original surname is Wu, which is a local Wujiazhuang family.
Back then, Laifu's mother went to the county seat of Pingxian County to catch up with the market, and by the way, she sold some needlework made by herself.
Who knew that he happened to meet Xu Lian, and when he saw that Laifu's mother was a little beautiful, he tricked her into the house in the name of needlework, with bad intentions.
Laifu's mother fought to the death, and Xu Lian was afraid that the matter would be too big to end, so he released her from the house.
When Laifu's father heard about this, he naturally refused to take a break, so he went to Xu Lian's mansion to find him a theory. Who knew that in his eagerness, he accidentally broke Xu Lian's forehead.
Xu Lian was furious, and Fufu's father was beaten half to death, so he was sent to the county government of Pingxian County, accusing him of forcibly breaking into the house with bad intentions. Nazhi County received the benefits, and he sent Fu's father to prison, and soon died in prison.
Xu Lian is a tyrant in the local area, and when Wujiazhuang heard about this, not only did he not dare to stand up for Laifu's father, but he was afraid that the Xu family would be angry with him, so he drove Laifu out of the village.
Laifu's mother was left behind for other reasons.
Since then, Laifu has lived on the streets and become a little beggar until he meets An Legong.
I didn't expect Laifu to have such a tragic past, hearing this, Zhu Ping'an's heart couldn't help but be on fire, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
"What about the surname Xu? And what about the dog officer who cares about people's lives? ”
An Le Gong was taken aback by the murderous aura that burst out of Zhu Ping'an's body, and then thought about it, when he first heard about it, didn't he have the urge to kill?
