Chapter 17 Master Cheng's gift of one accompaniment
Wang Fulin still underestimated the crime of forging official seals and documents in these years. After he returned to the inn, in the evening, Songbo, who had gone to the county government to see the excitement, also returned. When Somber spoke of the result, he was taken aback.
Although a Da Ming law was further refined on the basis of the laws of all dynasties, coupled with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's "Great Message", "Jiaomin Bangwen" and various written laws issued by various emperors in the form of edicts, most of the chief directors of various states and counties studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, made eight articles, and after the title of the gold list, they recited poems, answered poems and answered the peace, and educated the people. Therefore, when it is time to judge the case, the judgment is to make a difference, and according to the objective and subjective process of judging the case, the rule of man is greater than the rule of law. In many cases, it was even at the hands of the scribe of the torture chamber.
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who forges the seal of the Yamen will have only one end, and that is to behead! However, the seal letter is also divided into grades, and the first class is the boxy seal of the yamen at all levels, because the vermilion seal clay is used on weekdays, which is collectively referred to as the vermilion seal. The second class is the governor, the school, the military equipment, the water conservancy and other defense, rectangular, or silver or copper, because of the purple red water stamp, also known as the purple flower seal. If you forge these two kinds of seals, of course, you will end up dead. However, the fake seal engraved on a piece of dried tofu is not the seal of Shexian County, but the seal of the county yahufang, which is far less important than the former, and the sentencing will naturally be reduced.
Therefore, in the end, Wang Qiu's crimes only focused on beating and abusing his brother, forging documents and seals, combining the two crimes, and then passing the guΓ² big reduction, etc., I don't know if that Ye Xianzun was so angry that he was directly sentenced to one hundred canes for three years, and he was beaten hard!
As for Liu San, a quick shift helper, and Wan Youfang, a warden, because they belonged to the Yamen of She County, Ye Junyao had the intention to make a decision in court, but later he did not make a decision for the time being, and everyone was sent to prison first. The reason is very simple, Liu Hui, the household secretary, insisted that he didn't know, and the other six room officials were divided into several factions, and it was said that before the case was finished, there was a commotion in the county government of She County.
You must know that the entire county government is also like a small court, the six rooms of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers are equivalent to the six departments of the imperial court, and the underbearing room is also a small cabinet. The imperial court is the most expensive in the official department, but the six rooms of the county government are the most popular in the household room and the torture room. Taking the Yamen of Shexian County as an example, when the old economic officials vacate their seats, they often have to ask for the top silver from the newcomers. Among them, the household clerk is the highest price, a full six hundred taels, and most of the time it is even priceless. After all, if he wasn't too old to do it, what priest would be willing to let go of that fat oil and water?
After listening to these excitements, thinking of the summer tax mentioned by Master Cheng, Wang Fulin felt that it was not appropriate to take it out and ask Songbo, so he simply inquired about the details of the Cheng family. Sure enough, Songbo, who often goes in and out of the city, is very familiar with the Cheng family, and immediately smiled: "This Huangjiawu Master Cheng is a native of She County, born in poverty, and he was promoted not long after entering school, but he failed to try again and again, and then he simply made up a teaching, and after serving for a term, he felt too aggrieved, so he went to Yangzhou Huai'an to make salt, and accumulated hundreds of thousands of homes for more than ten years, but he did not forget his roots, and has been settled in the county seat instead of Fucheng. I heard that he told the eldest son of the family that he was the eldest daughter of the eunuch family......"
Wang Fulin, who was drinking tea, suddenly became distracted. According to this, Master Cheng is simply a cow among the cattle people, his family is poor but he also passed the examination, he will try a few times and run to the business without being admitted to the Jinshi, and after the businessman, he also saved hundreds of thousands of thousands of businesses, and gave his son Cheng Naixuan, the eldest son of Cheng, to the official eunuch family to marry, but Cheng Naixuan was not happy, so he did not hesitate to defile himself as a good man!
Could it be that Cheng Naixuan heard that his fiancΓ©e was a fierce woman with a lion roar in Hedong, so he made this kind of bad move?
Thinking like this, it is not his turn to worry about other people's affairs. Because he went to see this lively, it was getting late now, and Songbo planned to return to Xixi South Village tomorrow, so he entertained the old man well, and left people to live in the small courtyard of the Majia Inn that he rented.
Early the next morning, in addition to Songbo, the three villagers couldn't let go of their homes to say goodbye, so he took out a few gifts he had bought before to thank them, and sent them away, asking him to send a letter to the two sisters at home, informing him of the current situation, and Songbo was full of promises. However, the four palanquin drivers said that the master had a life, and he had to send the little official back to make the errand, Wang Fulin was happy to leave four helpers and let it go at the moment.
Now that the salted fish has turned over, and the county master has sent Wang Qiu and the others vigorously and resolutely, Wang Fulin naturally wants to go home quickly to hide and relax, but at present, the great master has not left, and all kinds of information are not equal, so he has to be patient and continue to linger in the Ma Inn. In the afternoon, he had nothing to do, but he was too lazy to go out, so he simply took the Analects and gave a lecture to Jinbao. At first, it was based on the memories in his head, but before he knew it, it was boundless, and when he finally heard a gentle knock on the door outside, he woke up suddenly. It's outside the home, not at home, and it's terrible to be charged with a deviant crime!
"Who?"
"The villain came to give Wang Xiaoxiang a good news! The great master of the Huizhou Mansion corrects your name, praises you for benevolence and filial piety, and if there are rumors in the future, you should be strictly investigated. β
Although after the end of the big drama in Minglun Hall the day before yesterday, Wang Fulin successfully reversed the matter of buying his nephew as a slave, which attracted Cheng Naixuan to call for support, and shocked Ye Junyao, the county commander of Shexian County, and brought the other two charges of not doing anything in one fell swoop, and cleared his reputation, but after all, this has not passed through the clear road in the official mansion. At this moment, he was overjoyed, and Jinbao moved faster than him, and stepped forward to open the door in three steps and two steps, but saw a strange middle-aged man standing outside, looking at the dress, as if he was a servant of a large family.
Sure enough, as soon as the visitor saw Jinbao, he immediately bowed and called Brother Bao, and when he saw Wang Fulin come out in person, he knelt down and kowtowed, and after getting up, he said with a smile on his face: "The villain is Cheng Hu of the Cheng family of Huangjiawu, and on the order of my master, I specially came to give the little minister good news!" A great master personally determined that the scene the day before yesterday had been spread to everyone, and no one dared to say anything about the fame of the little minister. β
"Please thank Master Cheng for me, I have a lot of concern."
That Cheng Hu immediately agreed, and then said with a smile: "The master also asked the villain to bring the words, the great master is going to leave for Nanjing tomorrow, and many ministers from the government and county schools will go to Xin'anmen, the county seat, to see them off in the morning, and please don't forget that this is also an opportunity to make friends with classmates." β
Wang Fulin realized that he had gloated about Cheng Naixuan's beating before, but he didn't know the other students in She County, and now the only guy he knew could only lie on his stomach on the bed to recuperate, and he had to use a lot of brains when seeing him off. Moreover, he still wanted to go back to his hometown to hide lazy, but he forgot that he was a student anyway, and according to the rules, he was going to study in the Minglun Hall of the Academy! You can skip class, but you can't run away every day, right?
This is the sequelae of trying to keep your fame!
Wang Fulin was about to open his mouth to thank him again, but he saw Cheng Hu suddenly clapping his hands, followed by a pair of young boys and girls who were originally standing in the courtyard with their heads bowed, each carrying their burdens, and stepped forward in small steps, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. When the two of them looked up, he immediately recognized that the young man on the left was the one he had seen before.
Even if this kid turns to ashes, he won't forget it, it was the Qiu Feng that Cheng Naixuan ordered Ya Po to send to his house, why did he send it again!
As for the girl next to him who touched about twelve or thirteen, he didn't recognize it, her appearance was quite good, but her body had not yet grown, and she looked a little slender.
"Little Xianggong, after this Qiu Feng was brought back to the county seat by that tooth woman, he was sent to the Cheng family's compound with the deed, and the young master left him to sprinkle and sweep in the front yard. After the lord came back, he personally inquired about him, in fact, he was innocent, and he knew a few words, and the deed of sale was also re-examined, and there was no fraud, just because he was born beautiful, the tooth woman had a misunderstanding of the young master, so he talked nonsense, and came back because he was not angry, and he passed on to his peers that were unfavorable to the little minister, and the lord had spoken, and she was not allowed to gain a foothold in six counties in Huizhou. Look at this Qiu Feng is still a duty, the old man means that he gave it to the little minister as a scholar. β
Speaking of this, Cheng Hu stole a glance at Wang Fulin's face, and saw that he did not refuse immediately, his heart was slightly relieved, and he pointed to the girl on the other side: "As for this girl's name Forsythia, she was bought by the master in Huai'an, she has no relatives and no reason in Huizhou Mansion, she is diligent in her work, and her temperament is docile, not to mention that she does not have to worry about handing over to outsiders. This is all the master's intention to apologize for the young master, and please accept it from the little minister. β
After seeing that they finished speaking, he handed over two deeds of sale, but Wang Fulin really couldn't refuse this time. Master Cheng's apology is different from Cheng Naixuan's apology last time, not to mention the difference between the elder and the young, if he pushes it back this time, it will be too faceless. However, how much he wished that he had sent two girls, instead of giving one to accompany one, and one girl to catch such a Qiu Feng who had made him so entangled!
"Okay. Please reply to Master Cheng, when the Great Master is sent tomorrow, I will personally come to the door to thank you! β
After saying this, Wang Fulin took the deed of sale, and found that it was the same as the original, and it was the same deed for the sale of a man and a daughter, so he instructed Jinbao to reward Cheng Hu with a penny of silver. Waiting for the Cheng family who had completed the task to retire happily, he looked at the two slaves who were under his name, thought for a while and said first: "Since you two are with me, you will be called a junior official in the future, so as not to be confused with Jinbao." β
It's enough for a Jinbao to call his father, he doesn't want to have a tender face, but he is surrounded by a person to call his father, and every moment he has the illusion that he is already a lot old and full of children and grandchildren!
When the two agreed, he said to Jinbao again: "Jinbao, Qiu Feng will assign you to be a scholar in the future." β
"Huh?" Jinbao almost thought that he had misheard, and after a while, he said with some sneer, "Dad, I can do everything myself, and I don't need to be served." β
"Elder, do you dare to resign?" Wang Fulin glared and put on the pretense of being a father, "You are my son, you will take the Xiucai examination in the future, and you will not have time to study, how can you have so much time to do chores?" β
Wang Fulin glared, and couldn't help but block the little guy back, but he didn't notice that Qiu Feng bit his lip lightly after being stunned for a moment. After arranging Qiu Feng, he looked at Forsythia and said, "Forsythia, when you return to Songming Mountain, you go to serve my two younger sisters, and do some miscellaneous things such as tea, water, pen and ink in the next few days." β
"Yes, petty officer." Forsythia hurriedly kowtowed again in agreement. When she saw Wang Fulin and Jinbao returning to the house, she stood up on her knees, and saw that Qiu Feng was still on the ground and didn't get up, so she reminded her loudly, "Hey, the little official and Brother Bao have already entered the house!" β
Qiu Feng hurriedly entered the house when he saw Forsythia put down this, he got up a little sluggishly, remembering that the last time he was sent to Wang's house in Songming Mountain, Wang Fulin refused to want himself, so on the way back, the tooth woman beat and scolded himself, although Cheng Gongzi finally left himself in the Cheng family compound, but he was not as good as the lowest little guy. Now he has gone around and been given to Wang Fulin, and Jinbao, who was also just a servant at that time, was approved by the great grandmaster in the previous time, and he ascended to the sky from a mere servant step by step, and became the real adopted son of Xiucaixianggong!
is also a human being, he is also eager to learn and progress, and can read and write, why can he only be bought and sold by people in such a humble way, sent back and forth?
