Chapter 462: Depressed Zhu Lian
Zhu Lian's hand naturally cannot be a Ming Fa edict, but a decree from the palace, which is enough. No matter how luxurious the eunuchs are, they will not leave the status of the domestic slave of the Son of Heaven, and the disposal of domestic slaves does not require the opinions of foreign ministers, nor does it need to consider whether it violates the law, as long as the emperor wants to deal with it, he can deal with it.
The content of this holy decree is not to put Huang Enhou in prison for disposal, but to point out that the satin fabrics offered by Jiangning Weaving in recent years are either insufficient, or the quality is not harmonious, which is a negative grace. According to the imperial history, Zhu Lian was ordered to strictly investigate, Huang Enhou must not disobey, and everything is subject to Zhu Lian's arrangement.
You must know that this holy decree was issued before Zhu Lian left Beijing, that is to say, Zhu Lian patrolled the south of the Yangtze River this time, and the officials along the way were just adding heads, and Huang Enhou was the main course. Thinking of the rumors that came out of Jiangning City before, it can be seen that this matter is true, and Huang Enhou will probably not survive this time.
After the holy decree was read, Huang Enhou's face was no longer as lustrous as Fang Cai, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, muttering to himself: "Why bother...... Why bother? If you want me to let you do well, why bother to get this field. Even the people who run the rivers and lakes to play circus know that cutting bamboo is not hurting bamboo shoots, everyone is the same person, why do they have to kill them all, where did they come from such a big hatred? ”
Zhu Lian took out a piece of paper from his sleeve at this time and unfolded it casually: "Everyone, please see, this is the gift list that Huang Enhou gave to me in private and gave it to the official." three hundred taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, and fifty pearls...... Since the official arrived in the southeast, there have been a lot of gift-givers. Among them, the one with the widest hand is a county order, and as soon as he makes a move, he will be eight hundred taels of silver, which can withstand the income of the official in his life. People say that the southeast is rich, but it is worthy of its reputation. But compared to Huang Gonggong, it is a small thing, far from it! The list of gifts received by my Zhu along the way is recorded in the book, and it is sent to Jiangling Yuanfu by stagecoach to prove his innocence! This one is no exception, and it will be done in the same way. Brothers, if you want to follow the example of Gonggong Huang and give gifts, you can send the gift list directly to Jiangling or the Jingshi Cabinet. It's not easy for these postmen, if you can make them run a few steps less, just a few steps less! ”
He snorted, but no one laughed, and his face was extremely solemn. Most of the people present were husbands, and their hearts were bright, and Huang Enhou lost the lawsuit by 30% first. It's just that in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, except for Hai Rui, how can there be such a ridiculous person who has taken the money and changed hands as a crime. If Zhang Jiangling's subordinates are all such people, why do they get along with him like this?
Zhu Lian continued: "The magistrate who gave me eight hundred taels of silver, this official has already named Yan Shen, please investigate his crimes, as for the bribes, they are all in my car." If I don't accept it along the way, how dare those bribe-givers jump out and come to me to register their names? It's time for the end, and I won't hide it from you. Taken from the people for the people, these silver taels and Huang Enhou's this, Zhu will stay in Jiangning to fund the implementation of the new law. It can also be regarded as a modest contribution to the implementation of the new law! As for Huang Gonggong...... Didn't you just say that the errand is not good, and life is embarrassing? If it's like yours, I'd really like to be embarrassed! Come on, take Huang Gonggong back to the patrol yamen, and then check slowly. As for this woman......"
He looked at the Song family, the Song family still looked pitiful at this time, and seemed to be frightened by this scene again, the person was paralyzed and sobbed in a low voice, Zhu Lian's gaze stayed on her for a moment before saying: "Your family has some sins in the past, but it is better to know the way back, and the past is not to blame." In the future, I can be a person and do business with peace of mind, and I am allowed to do so. ”
Eating wine and eating to the point of taking away the eunuchs on the spot, Yu Daming officialdom is also unprecedented. It was supposed to be a banquet for celebration, but it ended in an inexplicable dreary atmosphere, and Song was both a plaintiff and an important witness, and he needed to be protected by the end. At present, the safest way to protect is, of course, Shangyuan County's all-weather and multi-faceted escort.
So in Yang Shida's former bedroom, the curtain shook gently, and the woman's slender feet and the man's feet overlapped up and down and stretched out of the tent, shaking violently. From time to time, suppressed cries came out, which was quite inconsistent with the identity of the hostess of the room, Wen Jun Xin's widow.
After a long time, the man's voice sounded, "Jin'er, your appearance today is really annoying, not only was you hooked, but even Zhu Lian was tempted by you." Asking me privately about your origins might be interesting to you. ”
Song Jin was originally curled up in Fan Jin's arms, closing his eyes and reminiscing about the taste of Fang Cai, but when he heard the words, he seemed to have been whipped, and hurriedly said: "Master, Jin'er is the master's slave, if I want to serve other men, the slave would rather die!" ”
The buckle behind him also rubbed Fan Jin's back and said: "Yes, we are all women from good families, how can we do such shameless things!" Even if I deduct it, I will never let the second man touch me. ”
"Where did you go? My woman has never been willing to let other men get involved, I just want to tell you, and I don't really want to give you to him. As long as you don't nod your head, if he dares to reach out to you, I'll kill him. ”
Song punched Fan Jin a few times in the chest, pouted, and said, "Slow down, my Yang family is the housewife, even if it's really your girl, I don't have such a slut." It's because of me, if you change your heart to a narrow path, don't say it on the surface, turn around and jump into the well and hang the beam, isn't it a human life? ”
"Okay, this time it's the official's mistake, and admitting punishment is."
"Okay, the master is willing to admit the punishment, and I can tell you what to punish."
"Punish me for giving you a big fat boy!" Then the creaking of the wooden bed sounded again.
After a long time, the Song family said while gasping: "Master, you said that Zhu Lian is the favorite general of Jiangling, if the slave family looks at it, he is the opponent of Zhang Jiangling in his previous life." The gift list made by those officials, if it is sent, it should also be sent to the hands of Long Live Beijing, how can it be sent to the hands of Xiangye, is there still an emperor in this eye? Everyone knows that Banzai is young and given to the emperor, and it is also to be disposed of by Xiangye. But that's the way it is, but things can't be done like this, the water can't go to the bridge, and when Banzai grows up and hears about it, if he is jealous of Zhu Lian, I'm afraid it's the blame on Xiangye. ”
Fan Jin sighed, "I really deserve to be a famous businessman in Jiangning, I can see things thoroughly, and I will rest assured that I will be handed over to you to take care of the business in the future." It's just a dignified jinshi, and it's not as good as a businessman to see things clearly, shame! ”
"Whatever he does, let's talk about our own business." Song said excitedly: "This Zhu Xiuyi is a friend of the master, if you want to come to this lawsuit, we will win, Huang Enhou will definitely fall this time." In the future, when a new town guard is too overseen by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the slave will count on his master to open up this joint. ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said: "You can't be a lieutenant for a lifetime, you have to be replaced sooner or later, and it's useless to rely on me to support you." If you really want to live a good life, the best way is to stop weaving. ”
"Stopped weaving? What about the silk on it? ”
"Officials supervise business and turn officials into business. It was purchased from the silk cloth merchants by the imperial court. Although most of Huang Enhou's words are untrue, one thing is quite accurate, whoever is in his position is difficult to be a good person. The system of the imperial court is like that, if you are a good person, you are destined to not be able to do errands, and if you want to do errands, you have to harm the people. The expenditure of the imperial court may not be provincial, and the burden on the people has also increased a lot, and the government and the government have enmity with each other, adding countless risks of civil unrest. The silk industry in Jiangning is also harmful, so many old looms have not been replaced for so many years, and all the silver has fallen into the pockets of the town guards. This time, I am going to take advantage of the opportunity to swing a knife and chop the waist of the eunuch guarding the town. ”
"Zhu Lian can call the shots for such a big matter?"
"He can't be the master, and there are people who can call the shots. After a while, the Xianggong of Jiangling will come to Jiangning, and when the time comes, you will make a statement to the Xiangye on behalf of the Jiangning silk merchants, and ask the Xiangye to call the shots. This matter of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing he can't call the shots anymore. Let's plan one or two, and we will definitely get this done when the time comes! ”
"Really? Can the master really let the slave and maid see the master? Can you still talk to Xiangye? "Although the Song family is a slave in front of Fan Jin, after all, he is used to being a family, and he will still show some arrogance. At this time, her voice trembled uncontrollably, and her body trembled slightly, like a sifting chaff.
Fan Jin said: "Then what's fake?" Isn't Brother Ling still in a relationship with the deceased old lady of the Zhang family, what is strange about seeing Xiangye. ”
"Don't mention him, the old lady of the Zhang family is famous for asking for money, as long as there is money to be made, you can see anyone. What kind of person is Zhang Xiangye, under one person, above ten thousand, even if my brother scatters all his family wealth, he is not qualified to meet Xiangye, let alone say a word. If I can say a few words to Xiangye, who else in the entire Jiangning would dare to underestimate me? …… Master...... I thought again......"
Although Huang Enhou was brought back to the Yamen, he was not imprisoned. After all, there is no concrete evidence to convict him, just detaining him in the guest room. The two servants brought by Zhu Lian accompanied him left and right, preventing Huang Enhou from committing suicide or self-harm. After hearing the contents of the decree, it was like a deflated ball, and the spirit became very decadent, and the person did not say a word there, but clung to the rosary and kept turning.
Zhu Lian pushed the door in, looked at Huang Enhou's appearance, and snorted coldly: "I knew this was the case, why did I have to do it in the first place." Grandpa Huang, you've gone too far. Listen to this official, tell the truth, and I can intercede for you......"
Before the words fell, Huang Enhou didn't want to raise his head and scolded: "Shut up!" Poor scholars, when does the life and death of our family have anything to do with you! Our family is the slave of the Son of Heaven, whether we want to live or die, it is the Son of Heaven who has the final say. Even if our family has never done anything, Your Majesty only needs to say a word, Huang Enhou, I am tired of your old face, our family will kill itself if you don't say a word, and you have to say a word when you hang the money, thank you Lord Longen! You stinky scholars, but you bookkeepers who run errands for Banzai, what does the Son of Heaven have to do with punishing slaves and maids, and you deserve to interfere? Is there anything else in this Ming Dynasty where you don't interfere? I'm not afraid that if my hand stretches too long, someone will cut it down sooner or later! Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has not allowed power ministers, Zhang Juzheng bullied Long Live bullying enough, everyone only knows that there is him Zhang Juzheng does not know that there is an emperor, sooner or later there will be a time when he is unlucky! What's wrong? He bullied the emperor, you lackeys dare to bully the slaves around Banzai? ”
Huang Enhou was known as a bodhisattva in Jiangning officialdom, but at this time, he lost his demeanor and roared and wanted to rush in the direction of Zhu Lian, but he was held down by two servants and couldn't move, but the swear words in his mouth couldn't be controlled. The eunuch scolded people unscrupulously, and at this time, his angry words were even more negative than his usual words, Zhu Lian was scolded by him and his face turned blue, and it was not easy to scold back, so he had to point at Huang En and say kindly:
"Enough! Huang Enhou, you don't mess around in front of your own officials, you know very well what you have done! How much money you have withheld from river workers and Caoyun can be checked in the yamen. It is stamped with your seal, and there is no room for you to deny it. In Jiangning City, how many trading shops are owned by your Huang Enhou, and how many industries have your dry shares, these can be seen from a check, and you still have to resist? Confess everything as soon as possible, hand over your greedy silver taels, and ask for forgiveness in front of the Son of Heaven. ”
Huang Enhou snorted, "Zhu Lian, you foolish thing!" Our family has said that it is easy to ask for my money and my life. Just long live the next decree. The palace has decreed that I will be done, and I know that I am doomed. But our family is His Majesty's slave and maid, and he can only die in the hands of His Majesty, not at the hands of Wenchen! I admit it with family law, and ...... with national law," he sneered, "What is national law?" Worthy of me? Huang Enhou only died, not guilty! ”
"Do you want to deny the most correct thing to do?"
"If the evidence is conclusive, you don't have to bother with me. When I can't see it? You also fell in love with the little silver woman whose P shares were as big as a millstone. It's a pity, that girl is now lying under Fan Jin's body and suffering X! It's not your share! You have to play majestic in front of me, and have the ability to rob a woman with Fan Huisi, that little silver woman looks like a girl who scratches her bones, and she can turn a man's soul upside down, you should go! ”
Zhu Lian's face became more and more gloomy, "Huang Enhou, now I'm talking about your embezzlement of money." ”
"Fart! The wages borrowed by our family are all accountable, and the big seal of the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is stamped on it, which has something to do with our own family? As for the shops on the street, ask them, who has seen me? It's all Huang Jien who swaggered and deceived me in my name, and I am also to blame? Then someone will change a bunch of shops to your name, isn't it true that you Zhu Shaohu should also die? Ask me about this little bit of chicken and dog, we don't have the time to serve you! Get out of here! It's not early, it's time for our family to chant and worship the Buddha. By the way, there is a Buddha statue in the secret room of our inner weaving and dyeing bureau, and the stomach is full of good things, good things that no one has ever seen in your life. Take out the things, send the Buddha statue, and the incense in our room, our family needs to use it. The specific list of those jewels is also in the secret room, don't you want to play the chapter, save you the effort, just copy it according to it. Several other places of gold and silver, we also told you, go and dig it, go and write a chapter to report, what else is it with this ink? Master Fan and that little slut are happy, you can do this, useless things, get out! ”
