Before the dispersal, Qin Zixiong came to report and had put Su Guoliang back in prison.

Jiang Anyi remembered Mr. Zhang's words, the king and Liu Shen in this county government are unfathomable, Qin Zixiong is a man of temperament, and he is worthy of being relied on as an arm, so he smiled and said: "Brother Qin, today's matter is more mentioned by you, I can be free in the evening, I want to invite Brother Qin to drink two glasses to express my gratitude." ”

Qin Zixiong wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "My lord is confident, Qin has said a lot." It was difficult to resist the kindness, and Qin thanked him cheekily. ”

Seeing that Qin Zixiong was heroic and did not have the pedantry of a scholar, Jiang Anyi appreciated it more and more, got up and said: "It's time to disperse, Brother Qin will go home with me, and today I will personally cook a few small dishes to entertain Brother Qin." ”

Roast duck, three fresh meatballs, boiled fish maw, fried liver tip, rabbit meat, red stewed meat, fried crispy white bi (the practice of crispy white bi has spread and has become a dish of ordinary people), fried green vegetables, eight dishes are on the table, with all the color, flavor and flavor. Jiang Anyi raised his hand to give way, Qin Zixiong tried to sandwich a piece of fried liver, chewed two mouthfuls and nodded repeatedly, didn't care about speaking, and stretched out his chopsticks to clip the red stewed meat, and ate his mouth full of oil.

Jiang Anyi reached out and poured wine for him, and said with a smile: "I haven't cooked for a long time, but fortunately, my apprentice is a foodie, and he has his help in these dishes, but it didn't take much effort." Brother Qin, don't just eat vegetables, do one. ”

Qin Zixiong put down his chopsticks and drank his glass, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the adults still have the means of eating ancestors, and Qin Mou has a mouthful." Picked up the chopsticks and commented: "This fried liver is tender but not fishy, the red stewed meat is crispy but not greasy, and the three fresh meatballs are light and delicious, delicious, really delicious." ”

Zhang Keji said with a smile on the side: "Lord Jiang easily didn't make a move, and Zhang was also touched by Lord Qin's light, so he had this blessing." Come, Zhang salutes Brother Qin. ”

At home, Zhang Keji had already taken off his mask, Qin Zixiong was surprised for a moment and returned to normal, when Jiang Anyi cooked, Zhang Keji chatted with Qin Zixiong, Qin Zixiong admired Zhang Keji's erudition and knowledge, and deeply regretted that Zhang Keji's face was burned. By the time the wine and food were served, the two had already talked and laughed and became confidants.

When the wine was half-drunk, Zhang Keji began to learn about the people and things of the county government from Qin Zixiong, Qin Zixiong originally intended to make friends, and he would answer all questions, and told Jiang Anyi everything he knew.

Jingyang Mansion, in the guest room of Tongyi Old Store in the east of the city, Yan Kaichen is alone with the lone lamp and drinks alone with the shadow. Staring at the bean-sized lights, Yan Kaichen fell into deep thought.

Ten days ago, after leaving Fuluo County in a hurry, Yan Kaichen knew that Jiang Anyi's case of asking Xu Mingyuan would inevitably involve him. But Jiang Anyi is known as a "second stunned", seeing that he is not emotional, Yan Kaichen feels that it is better to slip away first.

Four days ago, one of the old servants sent him a message, saying that the Jiang County Order had reported the matter of his harboring and connivance with Xu Mingyuan to the state capital. If the crime is punished according to the law, at least the family property will be confiscated and demoted to the common people.

was forced to be helpless, "Yan asked for money" had to give up his wealth to save his life, relying on the familiarity of people, and playing up and down. Up to Zhao Shulun, don't drive Zheng Kunshan, Sima Qian Ying, to everyone who joined the army, down to the officials who did things, the silver was spent like flowing water, and finally got Zhao Tingshi's opening qualitative, poor supervision, confusion, and a fine of 1,000 taels of silver.

When Yan Kaichen escaped from Fuluo County, he still had 16,000 taels of silver on his body, and the silver on his body was less than 3,000 taels after this fight, and he gave away 5,000 taels just by Zhao Tingshi. Flesh clenched the wine glass tightly, Yan Kaichen took a sip of wine with a sad face, and his heart ached, my money, this is my life.

There was resentful hatred in his eyes, all of which were given by that Jiang Anyi, Yan Kaichen put the wine glass on his hand hatefully, and rolled his eyes to think. Yan Qing also brought news that Su Changhe died in front of the county government, and now the people are very resentful. Yan Kaichen stretched out his hand and stroked the few beards, there was something strange about this matter, it could be that someone was behind his back.

Wang Xingren's fair face flashed in front of him, Yan Kaichen smiled, it must be him, it seems that his piece of inkstone has worked. Now that the lawsuit has been settled, Yan Kaichen is not in a hurry to go home, he has to wait, take a look, find the opportunity to bite Jiang Anyi, and let out the evil breath in his chest.

Jiang Anyi didn't know that there was a poisonous snake entrenched beside him, he took Qin Zixiong to the countryside every day, went out early and returned late, visited the township, learned about the hometown, talked with the people, and made preparations for the investigation of "tax into one", and the affairs of the Su family were put aside for the time being.

At the same time, Jiang Anyi is also doing a big thing, recording what he has seen, heard and thought about every night into a book, tentatively named "Fuluo Diary". Zhang Keji was greatly praised when he saw it, and said: "The master's words are three, which can be said to be a parallel to meritorious service. It's just that Zhang Mouguan this diary, easy to understand, full of fun, this "Enjoying the Cool" writes the coolness of the lotus pond in the backyard to the fullest, wonderful. ”

As he spoke, Gu Zi shook his head and read, "Bring a fan to chase the willow outside, and lean on the Hu bed on the south side of the flower gallery." The moon is bright and the flute is uneven, and the wind sets the pond lotus to be fragrant. Okay, Zhen'er must like it, my lord, can you let Zhang take this diary with you, so that Zhen'er can take a look. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled slyly and said, "Sir, Anyi didn't write this diary to make a statement. As Mr. said, this diary is interesting to read, involving landscapes, dwellings, customs, and anecdotes, and less government affairs. ”

"Prince", Zhang Keji was stunned for a moment, then understood, and looked at Jiang Anyi and spit out four words, "Jane is in the emperor's heart." ”

What is Jane in the emperor's heart, is to let the Son of Heaven often remember, there are thousands of officials in the world, there are thousands of officials in Guangjing, the Son of Heaven remembers a few people, in addition to the assassin history and a few important officials, the Son of Heaven has at most seen the name from the annual performance appraisal of the ministry, how can he have an impression of people.

The Son of Heaven has a lot of things, although Jiang Anyi has the right to play the secret box, it is impossible to play a book if he has nothing to do, so that the Son of Heaven will revoke his direct performance power in a few days. That's why Jiang Anyi thought of finding another way, and his Chongwen Pavilion Straight Bachelor Son of Heaven was not removed, which shows that the Son of Heaven acquiesced to him and was still a waiter in the East Palace. The prince is the age of learning things, this diary is written specifically for the prince, so that the prince in the palace can understand the situation of the people, just like opening a window, so that the prince can see the outside world, the prince is interesting to read, and the son of heaven is happy to see.

Jiang Anyi originally maintained a certain connection with the queen and the crown prince through perfume, and this diary will further strengthen his connection with the prince. With Jiang Anyi's understanding of the temperament of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will inevitably ask for a look at the diary, and then his heart will inevitably be violent in front of the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Keji laughed and said: "The lord is far-sighted, Zhang sees that there are still some things that need to be annotated in this diary, you might as well let me take it to improve it a little, and you might as well send it to the East Palace through the post station once in ten days to see the after-effects." ”

Fuluo County, Su Mansion, although Jiangzhi County has not yet liquidated the Su family, but after burying Su Changhe, the Su family has shown a depressed scene, the originally lively house has become a lot deserted, many servants are gone, and the white couplets and the high-hanging soul mirror in front of the house listlessly tell the funeral of the house.

In the main house of Su Mansion, the two brothers Su Guozhong and Su Guoxing, Lu Zhisong and Fang Ren drank sullen wine with their two aunts, and let out a sigh or two from time to time.

Lu Zhisong blinked and said: "That day, the Jiang County Order said that the account books of the previous years should be investigated, and this matter must be prevented, if it is really investigated, the Su family may not be able to pay off the debt." ”

Su Guozhong said sullenly: "In the past few days, what should be divided has been divided, and what should be hidden has also been hidden." Brother-in-law, you hid the "Mountain Stream Map" in my father's room, and the rain green pot is gone. The only valuable things left in the house are houses, shops and fields, and they can't be realized for a while. ”

"Heli", Lu Zhisong said: "After Heli, the woman can divide the property, so that the shop and the field can be temporarily stored with the woman, and then overlap when Jiang Anyi's term expires, so that the Su family can avoid losses." ”

Fang Renyong couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "Brother-in-law, you don't have a bad idea, this Jiang Anyi hasn't done anything yet, and the Su family will be ruined first." ”

"Second brother, I'm thinking about the Su family here." Lu Zhisong blushed and argued, "Otherwise, you can find a way." ”

The servant walked in at the door, and the crowd stopped talking. The servant said: "Someone sent a letter outside the door just now, saying that it was for the second master. As he spoke, he handed over the letter in his hand.

Su Guozhong read the letter, and his face seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop, red and white, and green. Lu Zhisong asked curiously, "Second brother, whose letter did you say what?" ”

Handed the letter to Lu Zhisong, Su Guozhong was speechless in thought, Lu Zhisong read the letter, and his color changed, and he exclaimed: "Who is this person?" If he goes to the state capital to file a complaint, he has a few chances of winning. ”

The letter was anonymous, and it instigated the Su family to go to the state capital with the Zhang family to file a complaint. The letter listed Jiang Anyi's six crimes: first, lawlessness, beating the head Zhang Putian to death in court; the second is to oppress the good and force the good man Zhang Changhe to death; the third is to confuse the public with fallacies, and use silver-faced people to fool the people in the name of gods and ghosts; the fourth is to expropriate and exploit colleagues in the yazhong; the fifth is to rob men and women, and take the opportunity of Xu Mingyuan to occupy Zhuzhu and Luoluo; Sixth, he was corrupt and bent the law and took the opportunity to occupy the Xu family's industry.

Lu Zhisong clapped his hands excitedly and said: "As long as one or two of these six crimes are implemented, the surname Jiang will not be able to eat and walk, at least this county order will not be done." Second brother, why don't you go to Jingyang Mansion to complain? ”

According to the "Da Zheng Law", the civil sue official will be beaten fifty boards first. Su Guozhong gritted his teeth, took the wine glass and drank it all, and said: "I'll sue you for this situation, brother-in-law, you are Xiucai to accompany me on a trip, and the third child and brother-in-law in the family will support them first, waiting for our news." I went to contact Zhang's family overnight and left early tomorrow morning. ”
