It was as if a cold current from the Arctic Ice Sheet was blowing through the temple, and all the movements in the temple were frozen instantly.

'What? …… Yamae?! ’

The so-called yamen is the official who runs in the yamen. It's just that there are two kinds of such officials, one is the long name Yaqian, who has been holding the official position for a long time, and can use the official authority to get up and down, which is a good job for everyone to do. But the errand service in front of the yaqian is another matter, this is a special hard labor for first-class households, but also the intention of harvesting fat sheep, but all the rich families on the stall, the bad luck of the family is ruined, and the lucky one will also lose most of the family wealth.

The affairs in the yamen are complicated, and some things are a big waste of money, so they all think of ways to transfer them to the yaqian, escort the yaqian to do it, and take care of the treasury to let the yaqian do it, as long as there is a deficit or loss in the middle, it is necessary to compensate according to the number. This is still small, and the yaqian has even become the target of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the yamen to cheat money. If you give a few pennies less, well, Han Gang once heard that there was an errand that traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to relieve the silver, and the unlucky ghost who stayed in Tokyo for three years - and the silver he escorted was less than a tael [Note 1]!

It's just that the former service of the yamen is one year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, unless there are suddenly too many things in the yamen, and the temporary apportionment is issued. I haven't heard of any major events now, at most, the Xixia people have come to fight the autumn breeze according to the rules of previous years. Headless and brainless, how could the Han family be subjected to such hard labor for a broken family?! Everyone in the hall knows that there must be cheats in it, and it may not be Li Lezi's hands and feet.

Han Qianliu thought clearly, slapped the table, and said angrily, "Li Lezi, do you want to destroy the door of the Han family?!" With such desperate means! Aren't you just greedy for the vegetable garden by the bay where my family lives? I don't want me to redeem it, and if you occupy my family's piece of land, your family's land in the river bend will be connected! ”

"Han Qianliu, I'm really wronged!" Li Lezi shook his head with a wry smile, and said that he was really misunderstood, as if he had really been misunderstood, "In the past few years, your Han family has not been in the Han family once, and it should be your house." Originally, the county was going to come to mention people two months earlier, but I saw that your kid was sick in front of me, and I really couldn't get out, so I asked my in-laws who were the head of the team in the county government to help you share it, and it dragged down for two months. ”

"You don't pretend either!" Han Qianliu sneered: "The former servants of the Ya are all first-class households. As soon as the third brother was sick, my family had long since lost their wealth, and there was only one and a half acres of land left, so it was reluctant to be a fourth-class household, not to mention that the third brother was only 18 years old this year, and he would not become a Ding until he was 20 [Note 2]. My family is now a Ding Zhuang of Han Qianliu, a real single Ding household [Note 3]. Whether it's in front of the ya, or in the husband's service, none of them can stand up to my family! ”

"Han Caiyuan, don't you know that Lu Dao only rebuilt the fifth-grade Ding production book in a leap year, and it took two months to rebuild it. Now in the county, your family still has two first-class households! ”

Han Qianliu snorted coldly: "As long as I go to the yamen to report, if I don't believe it, I can still hold on to this single household to fill the yamen?" ”

Li Lezi didn't expect Han Qianliu's stuffy gourd to be clear, he was stunned for a while, and sneered: "Then I have to make a guarantee for you!" ”

"You...... You ......" Han Qianliu didn't expect Li Lizi to be so shameless. Filled with anger, he pointed at Li Lezi's hand and kept shaking, unable to say half a word. He was a good gentleman all his life. It's rare to blush with someone, but now I'm so angry with Li Lezi that I almost have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Li Lezi, they are all villagers in the township, why bother to force people to despair?" The first to jump up was Han Qianliu's drinking friend Liu Jiu, who had a very tall ancient locust tree in the yard of his home, which was called Liu Huaishu by the villagers, and had a friendship with Han Qianliu for decades.

"Yo, it's Liu Huaishu, you're going to come out and hug the grievances!" Li Lezi said in a weird way, "I want to speak on behalf of Han Caiyuan, okay, who is going or not?!" The county only asked for someone, and it was not said who it was. This time, in front of the county office, it will be up to you Liu Huaishu's family. ”

Liu Jiu was stunned for a long time, with his family's net worth, it was a certainty that he would die before serving a year before serving the ya, where would he dare to accept it. sighed, turned his head to Han Qianliu, "Brother Han, I'm sorry." He bowed his head guiltily and sat down.

"Who else wants to go to serve the front of the government on behalf of the Han family?" Li Lezi was triumphant, his eyes swept over, everyone in the side hall bowed their heads, and no one dared to meet him.

Li Lezi was even more proud now, "Brother Han, you also listen to my advice, or sell your vegetable field to me as soon as possible, and your adoptive mother is also a lovely person." took the money to the county to check it up, and after two months of hard work, there was no trouble. ”

It's just that when he turned to the Han family's side, he saw Han Gang glancing at him coldly, his eyes were as cold as ice, and the forty-eight thousand cold hairs on Li Gang's body stood up at once.

Han Gang's eyebrows are thick and dense, but they are not heavy, they are so black that they seem to be drawn in ink made by Li Tingqi, the holy hand of ink making, but they are not as thick as the silkworm eyebrows, nor do they seem to be too straight and sharp at one end, but they are well-proportioned and narrow, straight like a pair of Kansai fast knives that are both thin and sharp. With this pair of knife-like eyebrows, Han Gang's originally slightly simple face immediately became vivid, only his eyes were raised, and his eyebrows were raised, like two quick knives stabbing up.

Li Lezi was once targeted by a big insect in the mountains, and escaped with a little luck. Han Gang's glance gave him the feeling like a tiger's eye. was glared at by Han Gang, and Li Lezi's arrogance dropped by seven or eight points inexplicably. At this time, Han Ah Li and Han Yunniang in the kitchen happened to get the news and rushed out together.

"Li Lezi, you are so daring!" It was hard to believe that it came from the mouth of a woman in her forties. Han Ah Li shouted before he fell, and with a wave of his arm, a phantom roared out, heading straight for Li Lezi with monstrous killing intent.

Han Gang's maternal ancestor once used three throwing spears to penetrate the bodies of seven party leaders in a battle, and thus sat firmly in the position of the head of the capital, and he was also well-known in the Jingyuan Road Army. The thing that Han Ah Li threw was also like a spear, as fast as a meteor, but it just grazed Li Li's earlobe with a slight gap, and slammed into the temple door that opened inward. There was a bang, and it shook everyone's ears. The phantom slammed to the ground, but it was the rolling pin that Han Ah Li brought from home.

Han Ah Li rushed out violently, and Li Lezi was so frightened by a rolling pin that he disappeared without a trace of arrogance, and hurriedly coughed dryly: "Han Caiyuan, Sister-in-law Li, don't say anything." Two days later, you will still honestly enter the city to be a yamen, if you are not in service, your board is indispensable, and the future of your third brother is afraid that it will also be in the soup!

Li Lezi threw down a sentence, turned around and ran away, Han Ah Li chased straight out of the door, scolded and chased Li Lezi away, and then returned with hatred. The side hall was silent, and everyone who participated in the banquet looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Han Qianliu hung his head and sighed, Han Ah Li had a cold face, and tightly clutched the rolling pin he picked up. Han Yunniang was crying, Chu Chu was pitiful, Li Lezi let the Han family sell her words, just when she heard it, her heart suddenly fell into a sea of ice, and she was trembling all over. She involuntarily approached Han Gang, almost sticking to him, as if this was the only way to dispel the chill in her heart.

Among the four members of the Han family, one is worried, one is angry, and one is worried, only Han Gang is calm and calm. shook the little girl's cold little hand, comforted her, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal!" Your third brother can solve it. ”

After appeasing the little girl, Han Gang stood up with a wine glass, his bright smile was full of confidence, "What's the matter, the banquet has just begun...... Don't let this fool ruined everyone's interest! ”

“…… Third brother...... Liu Huaishu looked at Han Gang blankly, he couldn't help the Han family just now, which made him feel very guilty, "But that Li Lezi's in-laws ......"

"What about the yellow tumor?" Han Gang Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, and there was an unconcealable murderous intent in his laughter, "Li Lezi bullies people, and in the fish and meat township, he ignores the law of the country as nothing." In the future, there will be a royal law to deal with him, and it will be enough for your uncles to be a witness at that time. ”

Han Gang said it arrogantly, but the spirit full of pride and ambition made everyone believe him involuntarily. They looked up at Han Gang, just like the third brother of the Han family who met him for the first time. By the way, he is a showman after all, and when he walks to the county, the county Yin has to talk to him with harmony. Although Huang Dama is Chen Ju's cronies, he can't be compared with a scholar!

Han Gang raised the wine glass, and his free and easy posture made everyone at the table dare not slack off. The guests raised their glasses, although it was not as enthusiastic as at the beginning, but a feast of retribution to the gods went smoothly after all.

Han Ah Li and Yun Niang ran in and out of the kitchen, bringing pots of hot dishes, Han Qianliu kept persuading the guests to drink, at least on the surface, he couldn't see the crisis that the Han family was about to face.

Han Gang lowered his head, in front of him, the sifted wine was clear and translucent, swaying gently in the cup, and the reflection of the cold eyes was distorted, faintly gloomy, just like Han Gang's heart. He whispered:

"Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live!"

Han Gang, who raised his head and drank it all, raised his head, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, and the fierceness in his eyes was hidden.

'Heaven is forgivable, but you cannot live!' ’

Note 1: This is a historical fact. The reason why Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi wanted to reform the service law was also because this service was too cruel to the people.

Note 2: The age division of Ding Zhuang in the Northern Song Dynasty is based on 20 years old as the bottom line and 60 years old as the upper limit.

Note 3: According to the early military service law of the Northern Song Dynasty, single households, non-Ding households, and female households are not required to serve forced labor.

PS: The Northern Song Dynasty, where culture and commerce flourished, was admired by many people. But the Northern Song Dynasty was a paradise for scholars and small citizens, not peasants.
