Chapter 218: Complaint
Zhao Tiegen thought that it was because he was drunk yesterday that he didn't send someone to send Zhao Jian home, and he blamed himself even more, don't look at his age, but he didn't run slowly, he ran faster than tolerance, and it didn't take much effort to run to the yamen.
When he arrived at the place where the corpse was placed, Zhao Tiegen squeezed into the crowd and saw the corpse on the ground, seeing that it was indeed Zhao Jian, he was so frightened that he didn't come up in one breath, rolled his eyes a few times, and fainted to the ground, and now the servants of the Zhao family could only step forward to take care of him first.
The tolerance said hurriedly: "What's the matter, as soon as I saw the corpse, Zhao Dongjia fainted, then this corpse is the one he knows, is it the guest of your family yesterday?" ”
The servants of the Zhao family quickly woke up Zhao Tiegen, and the housekeeper of the Zhao family raised his head and said: "This Langjun is indeed my lord's guest yesterday, named Zhao Jian, is my lord's nephew, just participated in the scientific examination, the exam is very good, it is estimated that he can be admitted to the Jinshi, because he wants to entertain in Chang'an, so he came to borrow money from my lord, and my lord borrowed him 500 yuan, but he didn't think that Zhao Jianlangjun was killed!" ”
He nodded, and said, "No wonder your master will be dizzy, five hundred is a lot of money, after lending it, the person died, then of course the money can't be repaid, if I change it, I will also be dizzy!" ”
As he spoke, he ignored Zhao Tiegen, he shook his head and entered the yamen, and reported the matter to the Liyang County Order, saying that the corpse was a member of the Zhao family.
Liyang County's name is Bai Li, and after listening to the report, he said: "Zhao Tiegen, it's the businessman who does business, right, his family is quite rich, and he actually lent 500 yuan to his relatives at one time, how can so much money be taken away, is it exchanged for gold?" ”
Bai Li is not very honest as an official, and the filial piety that should be required has always been the same, but it is not enough to say that he is greedy, and the extortion of rich people is all done by small officials, and he disdains it with the county order.
But the money involved this time is a little more, not to mention five hundred guan in Liyang, even if it is in Chang'an, it is a lot of money, of course Bai Li will be surprised.
The tolerance hurriedly said: "This villain didn't ask clearly, the villain brought Zhao Tiegen up!" He ran out of the lobby and called Zhao Tiegen in.
After Zhao Tiegen woke up, he howled and cried, he not only felt sorry for his five hundred guan, but also felt sorry for Zhao Jian's death, Zhao Jian is the only nephew of the Zhao family who may be an official, and now that he is dead, when will the Zhao family have another person with a glorious lintel, it seems that it is far away.
Bai Li looked at Zhao Tiegen, and saw that his face was full of snot and tears when he was crying, so he said: "Wipe it, quickly wipe it, Zhao Tiegen, the corpse is named Zhao Jian?" What the hell is going on, you can tell me about it, if you don't explain it clearly, this official can't make the decision for you! ”
Zhao Tiegen wiped his face with his sleeve, and then said: "Bai County Order, this Zhao Jian is my family's Qianli Horse, this scientific examination is very good, it is estimated that he will be admitted to the Jinshi, and he will become a big official in the future, and he will be a great official, and he will be a glorious ancestor......
As soon as Bai Li heard this, his face sank, and he felt that what Zhao Tiegen said was too harsh, if he was admitted to the Jinshi, he would be the ancestor of Guangzong, so if he couldn't pass the exam, wouldn't it? What a statement!
Bai Li was not born in Jinshi, he used to take the imperial examination, Jinshi was too difficult, he knew that he could not pass the examination, so he took the Ming Jing subject, but he did not pass the Ming Jing subject, ten years of cold window, ten years of scientific examination, twenty years of exhaustion of all the family's savings, poor and poor, but nothing was gained.
Bai Li didn't even have the money to eat in the end, his wife and children were so hungry that he cried, Bai Li hated the scientific examination, of course, he didn't blame himself for his poor level, he hated the examiners who criticized the papers for being blind, and he didn't even admit him, so that he couldn't even eat in the end.
In a fit of rage, Bai Li went to the county government in his hometown and became a lowest-level scribe, although he failed the imperial examination, but he still had some literacy skills, and the county government also needed a low-level scribe like him.
Bai Li can have something to eat, relying on a meager salary to support his family, and since then, Bai Li has been running, the more mixed up the better, first became the head of the scribe, and then he was promoted by the county order, went to a very remote and remote county, no one wanted to go, and became a county official, which is officially an official.
Bai Li was a county magistrate, when the county magistrate was vacant, no one would go to this place anyway, and the state promoted him to the county magistrate, and then he still made a good performance, so he promoted him to the ministry, and Bai Li was transferred to Liyang as the county magistrate.
Bai Li is old, and he has accumulated a lot of money, and he also knows that the end of his career is the level of the county order, and after he has done this county order, he plans to return to his hometown and go home to care for the elderly.
But now Zhao Tiegen told him that the Jinshi in the examination is the glory of the ancestors, for Bai Li, this is quite a slap in the face, and he is angry, what Zhao Tiegen said below, he didn't care much, touched his beard, Bai Li said: "Zhao Tiegen, you write out the case, and the scribe will record it, and then the official will let him do an autopsy, after the examination, you will take the body home, don't bury it for the time being, wait for the case to be broken, and then bury it!" ”
Zhao Tiegen is now emotional, and his mind is not particularly clear, he actually said: "I can't be buried until the case is solved?" If this case can't be solved in a year, won't it be buried for a year? ”
Bai Li thought to herself: "I have stepped down in a year, and it doesn't matter to me that you can't bury me at that time!" ”
He thinks so in his heart, but he won't say it, and he won't even show his expression, he is an old official, even if he can't do things without leakage, but he won't leave a handle for others to catch.
Bai Li comforted: "The official has already gone to the scene to see it, and has also recorded the situation at the time in detail, so that he will solve the case, arrest the murderer, and avenge the deceased, you can rest assured, the official will do his best, you go back!" ”
After speaking, Bai Li left the table first, flicked his sleeves, and went back to the second hall to drink tea, this case is very likely to be solved, so let's delay it first, Bai Li is very experienced in this area!
Zhao Tiegen couldn't, so he had to go to the scribe and tell Zhao Jian how he came to his house, especially when Zhao Jian took the gold, what did the gold look like, what marks did it have, and what were the gold leaves, this is very important physical evidence, as long as someone dares to exchange the gold and gold leaves, it proves that this person is a murderer.
The scribe recorded all the words and said to Zhao Tiegen: "I see, if this case drags on for a long time, the less likely it is to be broken, so you'd better urge it, lest it become a headless case." ”
This scribe is a local, and he is familiar with Zhao Tiegen, Bai Li can pat his ass and leave if he is not ordered by the county, but this scribe is a native of his hometown, and he has to live in Liyang.
Zhao Tiegen took out a piece of silver from his arms, about five taels, stuffed it into the scribe's hand, and whispered: "Do you think Bai County's order will solve the case with heart?" ”
The scribe took the silver ingot with his hand, he was satisfied, and after putting the silver ingot in his arms, he said: "Who knows if you don't have to worry about it, but Bai Xian Ling will step down this year, so he doesn't need to care, you want to go yourself!" ”
Zhao Tiegen was immediately anxious, Bai Li will step down this year, so he knows that he won't do his best!
If the case drags on, it will become a matter of the next county order, and the next county order can be said to be a mess left by the previous county order, anyway, whether the case can be solved or not, only the victim's family cares, how can the officials care, whether it is a white county order or a black county order, they will not bother!
Zhao Tiegen stomped his feet and left the county office, the scribe looked at his back from behind, and shook his head, Zhao Dong's family is really unlucky, not to mention that there are no five hundred yuan, his relatives are still dead here, and some of him is worried.
Zhao Tiegen returned home, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, he tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep, he felt sorry for Zhao Jian, and even more sorry for Zhao Jian's parents, if the emperor list was posted and Zhao Jian was on the list, then he would be sorry for the entire Zhao family!
But what's the use of thinking about it again, Zhao Tiegen can't influence Bai Li, it's not necessarily easy to send money, for a county magistrate who is about to leave office, it is definitely not uncommon to collect money and not do anything!
The next morning, when Zhao Tiegen was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, the housekeeper came running, to talk about responsibility, in fact, this housekeeper is also a little responsible, if he insisted on sending someone to escort Zhao Jian, maybe there would not have been a tragedy.
The housekeeper said to Zhao Tiegen: "Master, the little one went to inquire, this scientific examination has just ended with the examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province, and then to make a list, if you can pass the examination of the Ministry of Rites, you can participate in the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials, and finally the Ministry of Officials will decide who will be admitted to the Jinshi, tomorrow it seems to be the time of the list, do you want to go to Chang'an to have a look?" ”
Zhao Tiegen sighed, he is a businessman, and there is no scholar at home, so he is not clear about the rules of the scientific examination, he said: "Do you want to take the exam twice?" Well, my eldest nephew seems to have told me, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, so I was happy to patronize it! ”
The housekeeper said, "It seems that I have to take the test twice!" Since the current emperor ascended the throne, the rules of several scientific expeditions are not the same, and they have changed back and forth, so the small ones are also confused, and I don't know if it's right, why don't you go to Chang'an City to explore? ”
Zhao Tiegen thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said: "You go, if my eldest nephew is really on the list, then I will go to the capital to sue for this situation, I have to catch the murderer, otherwise I will be sorry for the whole family of our old Zhao family!" ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately went to clean up and asked someone to put on the carriage, and he hurried to Chang'an in the carriage.
Let's say Qujiang Pond, here is one of the most prosperous places in Chang'an, there are several luxury restaurants, and the back of each restaurant is supported by the powerful, the price of the banquet is extremely high, and a banquet here can even cost a middle-class family a year's income.
However, money is the most inappropriate thing for Chen Yingying, she instructed the housekeeper in advance, chartered the first floor of Furong Building, and ordered a song and dance girl, in short, according to the most luxurious level.
On this morning, Li Rizhi took Fu Guibao, Cheng Zizai and Chen Yingying to Furong Building, the highest floor was wrapped down by Chen Yingying, and they went upstairs, at this time the scholars from Zhengzhou had not yet come.
Li Rizhi stood at the window, looked at Qujiang Pond, and said with a smile: "This place was originally called Qujiang Pond, and it was renamed Furong Pond in the former Sui Dynasty, but because of the short time of change, the people still call this place Qujiang Pond, I estimate that this name will be changed back in the future!" ”
Fu Guibao said: "It's just a name, isn't it the same name!" ”
"Well, that's true!" Li Rizhi nodded, and he said again: "The view here is good, it should have cost Yingying a lot of money, right?" ”
Chen Yingying said: "I don't know how much it spent, I never cared about such mundane things as money." I originally wanted to buy this restaurant, but I heard that the owner didn't sell it, so I had to rent it, just rent, and I could have a few dollars! ”
Li Rizhi and the three of them nodded together, arrogant, Sister Yingying can have a few dollars in one sentence, showing the true nature of the rich woman's wealth!
At this time, the sound of footsteps downstairs, Quan Shufang and a group of scholars arrived, as soon as they went upstairs, they heard some scholars exclaim, the view here is really good, this place is really luxurious, it is worth feasting here for this life, how much does it cost!
The scholars began to ask the guys about the price, and after hearing it, they were even more exclaimed!
Chen Yingying looked at the sparkling pool water outside the window, opened her lips slightly, and spit out a word: "Vulgar!" ”
