Ran into a slippery county official, and the group finally lived a corrupt feudal bureaucratic life, saying that corruption is ugly, yes, let's say it is an unspoken rule, Li Zhixian also sent a clerk's office to take care of it, Qin Ye does not like extravagance and waste, and will stay. Qin Zhong is like a sleepy pig, still asleep in the early morning of the next day, Ruizhu and Baozhu are assigned to a good room, and they are also more happy, Jia Cong and Qin Keqing live regularly, they do not ring the bell, and they also wake up with a biological clock.

Let's say that Wang Dacheng, the secretary of the office, wanted to accompany Qin Langzhong to the county government to discuss river management, but Qin Ye sternly refused, Wang Dacheng was lazy and didn't want to go back to the county office, so he became a local tour guide for Jia Cong and Qin Keqing. Is Li Zhixian's move an extra move? No, this is the office character of the county magistrate: no one can be offended, no hidden dangers are left, and he is slippery, although Qin Ye is seventy or eighty years old, he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, there are also those who are still promoted at the age of seventy or eighty.

Strolling in the east of the city's market, getting a tip, Wang Dacheng, the tour guide, is more and more dedicated, Wanping City, Gu'an City is not as big as the west city of Beijing, they walked and walked, then walked into Liucuifang, in front of Chen Jingfu's firewood door in the square, the path was full of passing citizens, three layers inside and three layers outside, pointing and pointing.

Qin Keqing walked elegantly, originally wanted to stand on tiptoe, but wanted to disobey his own rules, so he asked, "What happened in the market?" So many people watched. ”

"It's not a problem, two sons, it's a woman who was martyred." Because they both wear the same robe and their faces are as white as jade, Wang Dacheng thinks that they are brothers, not blind, Qin Keqing's chest is tied up, and he is Tianzu, carefully dressing up men's clothes, not looking at the Adam's apple, it is difficult to distinguish in this era, to put it mildly, the children of rich families have led male pets to swagger through the market, Qin Keqing's dress is a bit like other people's male pets...... Wang Dacheng seems to think that martyrdom is normal: "Chen Jingfu is a widow, has never remarried, has adhered to women's morality for three years, and died of martyrdom this year, Gu'an's father wants to praise him......"

Qin Keqing was furious! Why? Can a woman be guilty of martyrdom if she keeps a festival? She has a higher level of knowledge than ordinary women, and she does not have the consciousness of a martyr, so she suppressed her anger and still said softly: "Why...... Not a martyrdom three years ago, but this year? ”

It was the first time Jia Cong saw Senior Sister Qin's anger, she was a flash of anger, and she was not disgusting, her eyebrows were light, elegant and moving.

As a cunning role in the office of the county officials, recording the promotion, appointment and dismissal of the county officials, Wang Dacheng sensed her anger, and after a closer look, Wang Dacheng finally concluded that she was a woman disguised as a man, maybe Qin Langzhong's daughter...... He changed his cautious tone: "Gongzi Qin, Gongzi Jia, that's the case, Chen Jingfu's father-in-law, who was originally a showman, was frail and sickly, and died soon after passing the exam......"

"Poor people, too." Qin Keqing sighed.

"Uh...... "Is this still called pitiful?" It's worthy of being from the capital, it's even more pitiful, you haven't seen it, Wang Dacheng nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, it's very pitiful...... Well, that, Chen Jingfu's mother's family is in business, sells salt, and is also a well-known rich family in this county, and the Chen family only got married because of their fame......"

"Later, I didn't know what was going on, a housekeeper slave of the Chen family accused the master of abuse and harshness, and it was fine, because ...... The person who writes the paper is Youyan's first form, and the nineteen counties of the five prefectures of Shuntianfu must give face, and this county is no exception...... The Chen family has no one to support them, and the housekeeper slave won the lawsuit, and after a check, the Chen family also committed other things, sue once, beat the county government once, again and again, and this will bankrupt the family......"

Officialdom Tai Chi! The word "drag"! This hand can make people go bankrupt!

This is not a secret in Gu'an, so Wang Dacheng can say: "That Chen Jingfu may have been stimulated by his mother's family...... Maybe it's something else, but I didn't decide the case, and the reason for this is not clear......"

It's not that he doesn't know, the reason why he is secretive is that he stands in the position of the county government and can't say it, Jia Cong and Qin Keqing glanced at each other, and with the shrewdness of the two, they can see through when they think about it: it is Luo Guoqi again, it must be Luo Guoqi who covets Chen Jingfu and can't, and uses legal and reasonable means to harm people.

In fact, this is the case, Luo Guoqi wanted to go further and write an article to promote Chen Jingfu's uncleanness, unobservance of women's morals, and having affairs with people during his widowhood, but he didn't expect that Chen Jingfu would come simply and hang himself...... Perhaps, in her opinion, it is better to be like this, and she can still have a good reputation if she dies......

The citizens praised each other: "The little lady of the Chen family is really strong and unyielding!" I heard that the county lord asked for the memorial arch of chastity. ”

"This matter will definitely be approved, with the archway of chastity, we Gu'an will also be beautiful."

In the feudal society, the memorial arch of chastity is very beautiful, once upon a time there was a woman to be martyred, the whole village beat gongs and drums, the scenery is beautiful, and the woman is lively to see the woman die, no one will pity her, will only be happy for her, more lively than happy events and marriages, and the whole place will be famous: this is on behalf of their local atmosphere is good, know the etiquette and keep the etiquette.

Qin Keqing saw that he was holding his breath in his heart, without saying a word, and walked back coldly, seeing that Wang Dacheng, Sun Fu, and Long Aotian were lagging behind, Jia Cong comforted in a low voice: "Senior sister, don't be angry, it's not good to hurt yourself, I promise you, Luo Guoqi won't be free for a few days." ”

"Senior brother...... Qin Keqing's eyes shot softly, stunned and speechless, since she can remember, she has not suffered any hardships or crimes, she was originally very good in Ning Guofu, and she was happy, but later there was a fatal threat, but only the junior brother ran around for her. The panic of the previous days has not been digested...... She sneered, "Don't trap yourself in it. ”

As soon as all kinds of customs rippled out, Jia Cong only felt a crisp in his heart, but this style had not yet lasted, and the East City Gate was lively again, more lively than Chen Jingfu's martyrdom, the officials opened the way, flags, sedan chairs, and the honor guard of the governor and the patrol came over, and they had to give way with the pedestrians.

……

In the Yahua Hall of Gu'an County, Yu Chenglong, the head of the Ministry of Officials and the Governor of Zhili, was in the center, Liu Dongsheng, the governor of Gyeonggi Province, sat on the lower right of the Imperial History, Qin Ye sat on the lower left of the Ministry of Works, and Li Fengxiang of Gu'an Zhixian could only squat at the back.

The official tone made a call, and Liu Dongsheng said in a straight tone: "Governor Xian, the lower officials proposed to build a dam and a remote embankment, which would rather be less, but better." This case was proposed by Jia Cong's on-the-spot investigation, and this son can be described as a capable person in river management. ”

Qin Ye echoed: "The lower officials seconded the proposal." ”

Yu Chenglong is also a national character face, and he can't see joy, anger and sorrow, only a second-grade brocade chicken supplement is very majestic, and vetoed: "The plan has been seen by the governor, Qin Langzhong, Liu Yushi, and Li Zhixian have been governing the river for a long time, and my treasury is empty, and I can't afford to repair it." In addition to these two articles, there is also the river soldier system and the outgoing responsibility system, and the governor has also sent someone to see it on the spot, and other feasible ones. You don't need to say it again, tomorrow the Japanese governor will come to the river in person, Qin Langzhong, bring Na Jia Zili over to take a look, and the governor will have a good life. ”

Qin Ye and Liu Dongsheng were helpless, two sentences: political disagreement, plus the government is poor.

Li Zhixian was submissive, and he didn't have the right to speak, so he had to carry out the order and arrange the two living Buddhas, Luo Guoqi asked him to see him in the study, and said with a smile: "The imperial court has given instructions?" Chen Jingfu really wants to set up a memorial arch? County Zun, she has slept with Captain Chu, although she knows very little......"

"Hurry up, send it in one day, the etiquette and law events, the court will all pass, which is also a good embodiment of the county's education...... Captain Chu dared to say that himself? No one said, black is white, white is black, when the watch, but also to set up the archway, from ancient times to the present, how many people are not like this? Li Zhixian gnawed on the chicken leg depressedly: "This official has a hard life, he is busy, he can't insert a word, you don't want to fish, if you have enough, take precautions, and there are two living Buddhas......"

Luo Guoqi scoffed and smiled disdainfully.

His reliance is Luo Min, his brother.

As the head of the six departments, the Ministry of Officials is divided into the Department of Literature and Selection, the Department of Examination of Merit, the Department of Inspection and Sealing, and the Department of Auditing, and its Chinese Department of Selection and Examination of Merit are very popular and powerful.

Gu Xiancheng, the founder of the Donglin Party, before he was dismissed, he mixed in the Examination Department and the Literature and Anthology Division, and then he used his cloth clothes to control the government, and the cabinet chief assistant was a puppet and a baby in his eyes, was he surprised? Not surprised? There is no doubt that Gu Xiancheng relied on these two Qing officials to attract many officials, and in the end, Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao and others of the Donglin Party successfully ascended to the throne and destroyed the three parties.

Speaking of Gu Xiancheng, he has a pair of very famous couplets: the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned.

Therefore, the Anthology Division and the Examination Division are very good and powerful.

is also Langzhong, the same department-level cadre, the Ministry of Officials Examination Department and the Ministry of Industry Battalion Division, which are not of the same grade at all, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles.

This is the fundamental reason why Luo Guoqi has no fear and local officials are rushing to him.

Although he also found out that Jia Cong was the public mansion, his purpose was not to kill Jia Cong, but to pass the official examination of the Ministry of Meritorious Service to Luo Min, so that Jia Cong could not take the county test and Qin Ye was dismissed. There are many kinds of political struggles, including personal grievances, disagreements, partisanship, public indignation, and so on.

Luo Guoqi fanned the Xiangfei bamboo fan, and said softly: "County Zun, Ming'er will also go with me to take a look, and see if his Jia Zili's method is shining, or is he smiling and generous!" ”

……

Jia Cong is not angry, he can be like Cao Mengde dropped a sentence of "concubine is not enough and scheming" and walked away, to put it bluntly, he is a suggestion, and the high-ranking officials use it to give him face, if he doesn't adopt it, what does he have to lose? He just wanted to do something, but this personal experience made him even more eager to get power: only political power is the last word.

In the study room of the big courtyard, Qin Keqing was pleased for him: "The governor wants to see you, it is a blessing for the junior brother, you still persuade me not to be angry, you are beautiful, and the senior sister is honored." ”

"How can I have the momentum, I hate less when the book is used, and I don't know how difficult it is to go through." Jia Cong said calmly: "I will do my best, try my best not to disappoint you." ”
