Kuang's mother, Kuang Liuhe's mother and son killed chickens, bought fish, and entertained Jia Cong and Qin Zhong, they regarded Jia Cong as a benefactor, originally their Kuang family was surrounded by four walls, and the situation was bleak, Jia Cong borrowed Liu Dongsheng's relationship to get a salt quote from Tianjin Mansion, Kuang's mother hired someone to hand over with Changlu Salt Farm, sold legal salt, and finally got through the difficulties.

And his family is as frugal as ever, but it costs money to study, and Kuang's mother has the thoughts of a small peasant woman: she wants to save it for her son to marry a daughter-in-law.

In this year's Guiyoufu test, the hard-working Kuang Liuhe was like a bamboo, and he won the top 20 and prepared for the college test. However, Qin Zhong fell off the list, his psychological quality was not up to par, and the four books were only barely able to gnaw, far less skilled and fluent than Jia Cong.

During the banquet, Jia Cong persuaded Qin Zhong to participate in the re-examination of the government examination before the hospital examination, this kind of re-examination has been interspersed with various serious examinations, Qin Zhong is also mainly based on Jia Cong, only nodded, he suddenly remembered Jia Yingchun who he had seen from afar one day last year: his skin was slightly plump, his cheeks were fresh and fresh, his nose was greasy and goose fat, his blood was boiling, he was not famous, and he swore not to give up......

Originally, he would have intersected with the little nun Zhi'er of Shuiyue Nunnery, but now his life track is getting farther and farther......

When he came, Jia Cong had already carefully sent Kuang's mother a meeting gift, it was a few pieces of fabric, not rash, they said goodbye, and Kuang's mother interviewed Kuang Liuhe.

"My son's two are in the same year, they are really handsome, but that Qin Gongzi is a bit like a little girl, that great benefactor Jia Gongzi, that demeanor, that bearing, is worthy of everyone in the capital, my son wants to make friends with ......" Kuang's mother chattered.

"Mother, it's not good to talk about people behind your back like this." Kuang Liuhe advised.

Kuang's mother poked a finger at her son's head: "Your mother has eaten more salt than you have eaten!" If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you! You are a scholar, you should be more knowledgeable than your mother, study hard, take the test hard, raise you so big, your father will leave as soon as his legs are stretched, how do you know that it is not easy for women to be people? Fortunately, my son has filial piety, when I was a child, I had a handful of and urine, and my former mother was sick, so I exchanged you for a handful of and urine, even if I can't kill my mother, it's worth it! As the saying goes: Jigu disaster prevention, raising children to prevent old age! ”

Kuang Liuhe is a filial son, although his mother's insight, in his opinion, may be superficial and vulgar, but he does not refute it, "hey" responded, while helping the old mother rub her shoulders and legs.

"Ma Dianshi, this time I have worked hard, a little silver taels, or the yamen's errands, after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks." Jia Cong sat in the county government office, the room was full of copywriting, and the copywriters were filed separately, this row of buildings was on the right side of the county office, which belonged to the six-room office space.

The matter that Jia Cong and Ma Dianshi talked about is naturally to collect all kinds of illegal evidence of Luo Litigator, and the positive struggle can only be solved by positive means, Jia Cong and Luo Litigator's bet has already been spread, if this matter makes the Yin Knife, it will have a bad reputation for Jia Cong, of course, Jia Cong is not a rigid person, and he doesn't mind playing conspiracy if he doesn't make it public.

Throughout the ages, anyone who climbs to a high position is a scheming for everyone, and if they don't want to use it, they have to use it.

In fact, Fan Zhixian had already instructed Ma Dianshi on this matter, Luo Guoqi was unscrupulous, and Fan Zhixian was also ready to kill him.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Ma Dianshi didn't dare to take it seriously, laughed, accepted the silver, and complimented: "This matter will definitely be done, the head of the Jia case is the proud protégé of the county lord and the Tongzhi lord, and I hope to take care of it in the future." ”

"Well said." Jia Cong retrieved the donated silver from the Shuntian Shecang, and the income was hundreds, but the Shuntian Shecang was pitted by Luo Guoqi, and the Yamen side was exploited layer by layer, and there was not much, but fortunately, the Shanhai Book Society in the capital, with his reputation and publicity, the income from selling books would become more and more considerable. Also because of the Shecang incident, Fan Zhixian has been dissatisfied with Luo Guoqi for a long time.

Ma Dianshi complained for a while, saying that since the imperial court implemented the fire consumption and returned to the public, the silver they handled had dropped significantly.

The so-called fire consumption is the money collected by the government from taxes, which needs to be re-put into the official kiln and cast, cast into silver ingots and ingots, and then handed over to the household department. In this way, in the process of recasting, there is a loss of silver, and the lost part is still scavenged from the common people, which is called fire consumption.

Fire consumes silver, and the yamen has always been greedy from top to bottom, and when they return to the public, it will naturally cause a backlash from the petty bureaucratic class, and cut off people's financial routes, which is undoubtedly desperate with them!

Jia Cong said in his heart: "The fire is returned to the public, and the land is spread into the acre, this Yongle Emperor really dares to do it, and his courage is not small......"

At the end, Ma Dianshi said: "I'm going to arrange people to inspect in all directions, maybe to Gu'an, that case involves Gu'an County, back and forth, the matter is implemented, why will it take ten days and half a month, first congratulate the first court of the Jia case for the high school test...... By the way, Liu Yushi has been in the hall of the official office for a few days, and I am afraid that I will be introduced to the ......"

Sure enough, Fan Zhi County sent a door to invite him to the Tongzhi Hall, which was about a few hundred meters away from the county office, and Jia Cong said goodbye.

……

Liu Dongsheng first arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and also patrolled the imperial history, which can be described as education and official style supervision, and grasped it, just the study and political work, so that he did not have much time to rest.

According to Lin Wanping, Liu Dongsheng went to social studies, colleges, and county schools to inspect the style of study, and supervised the construction of educational facilities when they encountered damage. Whenever they go to a place where students gather, they must inevitably investigate the questions of experience and policy, and the students of the prefecture and county schools must also be dealt with in accordance with the "sixth-class dethronement method": those with good rankings will be promoted to higher grades, and those with bad rankings will be punished, and these selected students will be the preparatory camp for the township examination. In other words, not every talent can participate in the township examination, and they must pass the annual examination and scientific examination of academic administration.

This is not over, after dealing with these matters, Liu Dongsheng returned to the Tongzhi Hall: sit in the hall in person, and all illegal incidents related to students, tribute students, and prison students, the people can come to complain, and the school administration will handle it himself. What's more, Liu Dongsheng has the rank of imperial historian on his head, and the magistrate must also be entertained.

Xuezheng is almost the master of Xiucai.

And the patrol according to the imperial history, Gyeonggi Province to supervise the imperial history, at any time to play the impeachment of the Gi auxiliary officials, the patrol according to the go, the eight directions tremble.

In the flower hall of the west courtyard of the Tongzhi Hall, Shen Tongzhi and Fan Zhixian accompanied Liu Dongsheng, the master of Xuetai and the patrol adult, the officialdom atmosphere, and the banquet is also work.

Jia Cong was brought in to greet them one by one, and looked at the three of them out of the corner of his eye, Fan Zhixian was tall and big, and he looked like a rough man, but don't look at his stupid appearance, this person is not stupid at all as an official, and his face is full of murder when he gets angry. Shen Tongzhi has typical triangular eyes and thin lips, and he doesn't look easy to get along with. Liu Dongsheng's eyes were capable, and when he looked closely, the scars on his cheeks were like caterpillars crawling.

Jia Cong said in his heart: "These three sit together, how can they look more and more like robbers in Taihang Mountain?" ”

"After a few months, Jia Cong, you are a lot taller, and your literary style has also improved." Liu Dongsheng was pleased, he smiled, his face was like a few insects moving, it was particularly infiltrating, it was difficult for Shen Tongzhi and Fan Zhixian to eat.

"The afterlife is terrible." Shen Tongzhi took the lead in echoing, and Fan Zhixian followed suit: "Patrol according to the adult's discerning eyes to recognize the hero, and don't make the pearl dusty." ”

Jia Cong said with interest: "Tormenting students is all the credit of the three teachers. ”

In fact, he was thinking to himself: "Is this a robber worshipping the mountain?" In the future, I, Jia Cong, will follow these people to charge into the officialdom? ”

Liu Dongsheng did not smile: "I hope you can still be modest after June, the hospital test is not as good as the county test and the government test, the eight shares are not good, I can't stop everyone's mouths, I won't bend the law for personal gain, I won the show, there are a few opportunities waiting for you...... The official hopes that at the hairpin ceremony, you can stand in the first place. ”

……

Yongchang Gate Market, there are a few capable men wearing hats, wearing black robes, and straw sandals, drowning in the crowd, take a closer look, the body structure of these people is not ordinary, tiger back, bee waist, mantis legs, the pace moves regularly, as tight as a robot.

Captain Chu said: "Finally returned to Wanping, Brother Yu, this time my brother can slash the enemy, right?" ”

"I'll have to wait until I'm in prison." Yu Biao pondered: "If they arrest you and you go to prison, you won't be able to see any traces, and it will be easy to deal with in the face of the officials." ”

"What the eldest brother said is that this is the only way to be careful and simple."

……

It was June, the preface was a small summer, and the annual college exam, the last hurdle of the children's exam, was held at the end of the scorching summer.
