Chapter 12: The Mansion Will Be Sent Away in a Hurry (Part II)
Han Gang had planned to go home early in the morning to report the news, and then rush back. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the city gate, I saw my own Lao Tzu [Note 1] and Li Lezi.
Han Qianliu was surprised and delighted, grabbed his son's arms, and looked up and down for a while, as nervous as an antique collector who accidentally bumped the treasured porcelain and checked it up and down for damage: "Third brother, you are fine, right?" ”
Han Gang smiled and asked, "The child looks like something?" ”
"You didn't kill anyone?!"
"Ah...... this" Han Gang laughed lightly, and glanced sideways at Li Lezi, in Han Qianliu's eyes, his son's eyes are no different from Li Lezi's now, "The child did kill someone......
Han Gang's words paused here, Han Qianliu's face turned pale, and Li Lezi seemed to have been hit on the head by a gold nugget, happy but puzzled. And Han Gang immediately solved his doubts: "Liu San, Zhang Keding, Xiao Shilai." These people, they should all know each other, right? ”
Now it's Li Lezi's turn to be pale, his feet are soft and weak, how could he not know the little follower of his in-laws: "He...... They ......"
"Last night, the child took over the job of guarding the armory, but he didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the three thieves would sneak in and want to set it on fire, so they killed the child." Han Gang happily watched Li Lezi's face turn from white to blue, because of the little worry that he had a mortal enmity with Chen Ju, he was also a lot more relaxed after seeing Li Lezi's expression. The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and he can overturn Li Lezi and Huang Dama, and he can still overturn Chen Ju!
"Liu San and the three of them are all followers of Lizheng's in-laws, and they went to the armory to set fires, and your in-laws are afraid that they will not be able to escape the responsibility. Before I came out, I just listened to a vague sentence, and Huang De used ...... "Han Gang's voice was very soft, but the subtle words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and exploded in Li Gang's ears, "I have committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”
……………………
Time flies, and so does the state trial of the armory case.
The voice* ten days ago has disappeared from the common chatter of the people of Qinzhou. The effects of the deaths of Liu San and others have gradually fallen silent. The culprit Huang Dama committed suicide in fear of crime, and all the blame fell on him, all the family property was confiscated into the official, and his wife and daughter were also confiscated into the teaching department, and the two sons disappeared inexplicably. The state government only issued two sea fishing documents, set a reward for the two sons, and announced that everything was closed.
Chen Ju once patted his chest to protect Huang Deyong's wife and children - he did it. He kept Huang Deyong's son to change his name and surname and go away, while Huang Dama's wives and daughters were ransomed at a high price before they could stay overnight in the teaching department. In order to obtain a paper of divorce from the state, which must be approved by the government for the prostitute to be good, Chen Jufei has a lot of money.
By appeasing Huang Deyong's posthumous affairs, Chen Ju slightly calmed the hearts of the people around him. The next thing to deal with is the foreign enemy who caused him to lose more than 30% of his net worth and how much he owes favors. Han Gang is immortal, and people's hearts are uneasy.
In a stable bureaucratic society, the division of power among its various departments has been established over the years. The prestige of the judge with moderation cannot suppress the magistrate at the next level.
These days, Han Gang has been studying hard in Puxiu Temple every day, occasionally pulling a bow and shooting arrows to regulate his mood. Only by going to Wu Yan's mansion to chat with him can it be regarded as resting. Han Gang worked so hard that Wu Yan valued it even more. It's just that he helped Han Gang make an identity certificate and wanted to ask for the identification of a single Ding household, but Chengji County ignored it at all. A piece of paper sent by Cheng Jizhi County, but Han Gang had to go into the county office.
Bypassing the empty hall and walking on the stone road leading to the second hall of the county government, Han Gang had a bad premonition in his heart. He had seen the yellow tumor that had hanged himself, his face was purple and black, his tongue was long, but the tumor on his neck was shriveled and crumpled like an apple that had been left for a long time. Unlike Han Qianliu, who had crossed the river to visit him almost every day for ten days, Han Gang did not have the joy of victory in his heart. Because this is just the gecko's tail that Chen Ju broke off for self-preservation. The viper was still spitting letters behind him, and he still couldn't sleep well at night.
An old man with a kind eyebrow led Han Gang inside, and another young man wearing a white linen filial piety uniform passed by him. Han Gang has a good memory, and remembers that it was Zhou Feng who was in his position. In the past few days, when Han Gang thought of Zhou Feng, he had to sigh that he was really lucky, if it wasn't for his own family that caused Huang Dama, he would have ended up burning and turning into a charred corpse.
Seeing Han Gang looking back at Zhou Feng, the official who led the way said with a smile: "This kid is also lucky, his son hanged himself the night before, and his family has become a single household." Today, the county Yin Kaien let him go home. ”
Han Gang's expression moved slightly, "What a coincidence......"
"No one likes this kind of coincidence, there are less than two months left this year, how can I endure it any longer." The official shook his head and sighed, full of emotion.
Han Gang sneered, "If it weren't for you officials who were greedy, why would Zhou Feng's father take his own life just to save his son back?" ’
The two walked to the front of the second hall, and the old official didn't go in directly, but turned to Han Gang and said, "Han Xiucai, everything is empty when people die, Huang Deyong is dead, and all the festivals should be revealed. ”
Han Gang was stunned, which one is this singing? In the past few days, listening to Han Qianliu, who enters the city every day, although the plant is not on the in-laws, Li Lezi was also tortured by the good students in the state government, and after three days of coming out, the toad in autumn became a toad in spring, and he lost a whole circle, and his family property was also lost by nearly half. After this toss, he was frightened by Han Gang's methods, and he went to the door every day to make amends, and he had to return the land he had bought strongly. If Li Lezi has Chen Ju's support, why should it be so?
It's just that doubts are doubts, and what should be said has to be said: "Since Huang Deyong is dead, how can Han have an enemy?" Li Lezi is even more trivial, and the land sold to him will be redeemed by my family with money in the future, and I will not take advantage of him. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Xiucai is really magnanimous. The old official smiled, "That's the case, I'll remind Xiucai." Today, the county Yin summoned him, and he may be sending Xiucai to your new errand. After you go in, you will report the family affairs to the county Yin, and report it as a single household, or you can go home like Zhou Feng today. Think about Li Lezi, he doesn't have the courage not to help you with the bond now. ”
Han Gang bowed down and thanked: "Thank you Chen Zhisi!" ”
Chen Ju's expression froze, and then he looked at Han Gang carefully. I saw that he was still an ordinary scholar, and his appearance was gentle and elegant, and his demeanor was rarely matched by the scholars in Qinzhou. Only his eyebrows and eyes are like knives, adding a lot of sharpness to Swen. But Chen Ju still remembered that when Huang Dama's body was carried out of the house, this Xiucai stood in the crowd of onlookers outside the door, like standing out from the crowd. At that time, his sharp eyes were not looking at Huang Dama, but at himself. His eyebrows were like knives, his eyes were like swords, a chill rose from his body, his skin was aroused, and he only thought that he was worthy of being a famous teacher and disciple in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had already formed a mortal feud that he couldn't understand, he really didn't want to provoke Mr. Hengqu's students.
"Well said, well said!" Chen Jugan smiled and accompanied Han Gang into the hall.
A circle of officials gathered in the second hall, and under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, a young man in his thirties sat upright. It is now the magistrate of Chengji County. After Han Gang came in, he was busy signing documents and sending out the people. Only half an hour later, he had to take a breath, and when he looked up, he saw Han Gang, who was outstandingly groomed.
Han Gang was wearing a green cloth shirt, a square scarf, and a scholar's outfit. Tall figure, straight nose and eyebrows, clear eyes, and extraordinary bearing at a glance.
To the scholars, Cheng Jizhi County did not want to be rude, and Wen Yan asked: "You are a talented person, who is your surname, and what is the matter with coming to Yazhong?" ”
Han Gang saluted: "Student Han Gang." You have to recruit the Yazhong to stand by. ”
"Han Gang?" Cheng Ji Zhixian's face turned cold in an instant, and he was no longer gentle.
The matter of the Dexianfang armory made him suffer a lot, and this year's performance appraisal had to be sentenced to the middle and bottom, and the grinding time would be extended by another year. He heard a lot of gossip from Chen Ju, and almost hated Han Gang to the bone. What can't be punished by the county, but it goes to the state! What about Zhang Zai's disciples? Zhang Hengqu doesn't know how many disciples he has received, and he can be regarded as a student after only listening to two lectures! What is the best background for such a kindergarten child!?
"You're Han Gang?!" Cheng Jizhi asked again.
"The student is Han Gang." Han Gang replied with a respectful salute.
Zhixian's face was stiff, and he said coldly: "Han Gang, since you have applied for the errand service, you have only been a prisoner for one day. I have a lot of affairs in Chengji County, and I can't leave idlers. Now there is a batch of silver silks and wine to be sent to Gangu City, and you will lead the team. ”
'Do you want to continue to serve as the yaj? If you are an escort, you have to bear the losses during transportation. But his Han family doesn't have any extra money.
For the Han family, relieving the hard labor before the yamen is the best choice. And Chen Ju, who followed up with him, smiled mildly and threw encouraging glances at Han Gang. Han Gang sneered in his heart: "If you really have a heart, you should help me speak now." ’
It's a trap for sure!
Just looking at the current situation, the surrounding officials are all eyeing each other, and they don't know how Chen Ju arranged himself in front of Chengji Zhixian, and the young Jinshi Zhixian looked at it with a look that was quite unkind. Maybe as long as you don't say a word, you will probably be lifted to the ground, and the thick killing rod will be served. No matter with his current physical condition or the condition before he got sick, he couldn't take a few hits, and he was going to die.
Chen Ju is good at acting, but the level of the extras is much worse. What Han Gang saw in their eyes was all murderous intent, not 'maybe, probably', but 'certain'! Killing people and killing people's hearts, by the way, Chen Ju is indeed calculating.
But if I say yes, can you do it right now?' If a gentleman doesn't suffer immediate losses, why should he do it for the time being. put Zhou Feng back in front of me, all he wanted was for me to say 'no' to this single household? How will you get your wish! ’
With his mind turning, Han Gang agreed to it, "It is not only the order of the Ming Mansion, but also for the sake of national affairs, Han Gang should obey it!" ”
had to be escorted to the army, Han Gang's face was like frost, and it was only when he saw that Chen Ju's face was also generally ugly that his mood improved a little.
Out of the second hall, he looked up at the gray sky, his fate could not be grasped by himself, but was manipulated by others. If he can have an official body, how can Chen Ju's generation move him at all. sighed from the bottom of his heart and muttered: "It's better to be an official!" ”
