Chapter 34: The Power of Communication
In the morning, before nine o'clock, the Furong Teahouse in the north city, the Zhangji teahouse in the south city, the Tingfeng Pavilion in the west city, and the Yangchun tea house in the east city are all talking about one thing, that is, Luoyang has a black-hearted official, mixing rice with sand, shoddy, to those helpless poor households.
Originally, this was a good deed, but the black-hearted officials, in collusion with the rich and unkind grain merchants, put the wormy rice with sand, and pretended to be good rice and divided it.
Everyone is still strange, why don't you say the ancient today, let's talk about this thing first, it turns out that this happened really in Luoyang City, each teahouse has a bag of rice, saying that the sand may be mixed with rice, but, try it out in public, any handful of rice, there is a lot of sand is true.
And this rice is not good rice, it has been bitten by insects, and some of the rice inside is sticky, and the corpses of the rice worms in it have not disappeared.
Those who can come to the teahouse in the morning will not have a bad life, and such rice grain will only be fed to pigs in the eyes of these people. What's more, how many elderly people are still sitting here?
It turned out that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people more quickly and stabilize the country, the elderly over the age of 60 were exempted from all kinds of taxes, and the representative yamen were allowed to seal a few idle names of the keepers and reward 20 acres of Yongye land. Carry forward the tradition of respecting the elderly. ,
At this time, the audience became excited, and some people stood up at that time and wanted to go to the government to reason.
And it was Yan Zifei's apprentice who said that Gu was fanning the wind and lighting the fire on the side, and soon, several old people with a full sense of justice took the lead and rushed towards the government together. In these years, the status of the old man who has been rewarded is still very influential.
The cowhide drum of the government suddenly sounded......
This drum is not something that can be beaten casually, as long as this drum sounds, no matter what the official does at the moment, he must be met immediately, and generally such a drum sound is a major case of human life.
In the past, there was still a killing stick, that is, you got the official master over, and he had the right to beat you first and then ask about the case, so that you know that this drum must not be beaten at will. There is a price to pay, because if you don't beat the drum, the case can be postponed, and if you knock it, you will have to handle it immediately, which will disrupt the official's work plan.
It's just that few people beat it later, and the drum hasn't been played for more than a year.
In other words, Dou Han is distressed, he can sit in this position today, it is not a straw bag, he knows that when the eldest grandson rushes back, it will be difficult to explain, the confiscated wine utensils have been imitated, and the secret has been sent to Chang'an. The subordinates said that they used this equipment to put ordinary wine on it and steam it, and the wine would flow out.
I was about to order the wine set to be returned, go to the Changsun Mansion to accompany him, and then compensate a sum of silver, and push the responsibility to the people below, it is estimated that it is certain to be humiliated, and I will have to see the face of the Changsun Mansion in this Luoyang City itself, and it is not a time.
At present, with the relationship between the eldest grandson mansion and the Dou family, it is not too difficult for him. Let people always pay attention to the movements of the Changsun Mansion, and as soon as someone comes back from Chang'an, they will quickly inform themselves.
When he was eating breakfast under the service of his favorite concubine, the drum of grievances sounded.
Dou Han really didn't know about this grain matter. When he heard the first sound of the rumbling drum, he still didn't believe it, but the sound of the drum made his face change greatly. Immediately got up, quickly put on his official uniform and walked to the lobby.
I was holding back the fire in my heart, thinking that whoever hit it first would talk about it.
When they arrived at the court, the yacha on both sides had already arrived at the ranks, and this time there was no Dou Qingshan present, so he had no scruples, and he was shocked, "The person with the drum goes to the court." The anger in his voice could not be concealed.
Liu Ao was brought to the hall.
Dou Han just wanted to shoot the shocking wood, and after seeing that it was Liu Ao, Yang paused in the middle of the air: "Why are you?" "Hesitantly put down the shocking wood! Could it be the sake brewery? Can't do it?
"Lord Thorn Shi! Someone is going to rebel! Liu Ao's words made Dou Hanlei half dead. Now that Datang has just gained a foothold, rebellion is the most taboo thing above, and it can be said to be the first major crime!
"Liu Ping'an, this official reads that you are a scholar, and you have an intersection with the Changsun Mansion and my Dou family, so I won't beat you to kill you, but don't be alarmist and spread rumors, this is not a joke, you are going to lose your head!"
"Alarmist? Spreading rumors? I wonder if Lord Thorn can remember the rescue last time? Do you know what the folks eat now? ”
"I naturally know this, I specially instructed Steward Cao to distribute ten catties of rice grain per person, is there anyone who deducts it? Or did someone starve to death? ”
Dou Han was confused, after he explained this matter, he had never asked, in his opinion, this kind of thing is his own reputation, and the people below can do it well, and it is not a difficult thing, his concubine's house is the largest grain store in Luoyang City.
This business naturally falls to their families, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders!
"I don't know if it's a deduction, but I seem to remember that the first day I cooked porridge was still the best polished rice, but my lord, what do you think is sending now? There is a bag of rice outside, which was brought by Ping'an, can you let someone bring it in, and the adults will look at it and see if this kind of rice can be eaten? ”
Liu Ao didn't know what's wrong, now looking at Dou Han is so hateful. Looking at this way, it is estimated that I don't know about the grain being exchanged.
It is certain that this is a corrupt official, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations. Liu Ao judged that this grain merchant who exchanged grain must be related to the family of this assassin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just left it alone.
With permission, Zhang Lao, an old man chopping wood, easily put it in the public hall with a bag of rice in one hand, and then stood beside Liu Ao. The little master of his own family said, protect this little master.
Dou Han seemed to be arrogant and didn't even look at himself, a little annoyed. "What kind of person is this, so unreasonable?"
Zhang Lao glanced at Dou Han with his eyes: "Let's talk about it after you can pass this level, it's not that the little lord is here, you are a dog official, the old man doesn't even bother to look at you." ”
Zhang Lao's words were also damaged enough, and the choked Dou Han's face turned pale. Pointing at Zhang Lao, "You... You—" Speechless.
Liu Ao looked at the bad dishes, this Zhang Lao is really upright! Dou Han is an official of the imperial court after all! Hurry up and come out of the round: "Oh, my lord, Zhang Lao and others are like this, let's take a look at this rice first, you see, Liu Ao opened the bag and poured the rice on the court on the spot......
Seeing the rice on the ground, Dou Han couldn't get angry, walked out and grabbed a handful with his hand: "Where did this come from?" How can this rice still be eaten? "I asked in my mouth, and I faintly felt bad in my heart!
Before Liu Ao could speak, the periphery of the Erdao Yamen was full of people, and several canonized old men shouted to see Master Assassin Shi. How many people are out there? It can't be stopped at all, besides, a few people are too old to use force to stop it!
"Hula" came in a large group of people. Several old men raised their hands, and the people behind them stopped.
With the arrival of a few elders, the assassin has no temper! These people, don't look at the official body, they are all old people who have seen His Majesty! At the Peony Festival in Luoyang last year, His Majesty came here and specially met with a few people.
"I heard that there is a black-hearted official in our Luoyang City, I want to know if it is true? This is Xiao Liu Gongzi, right? Attaboy! An old man who looked relatively old, looked at the history of the thorn, and then turned to see Liu Ao said.
Liu Ao hurriedly nodded in greeting.
Everyone has seen the rice on the ground, and it is the same as the storyteller in the teahouse. At this time, Dou Han was really panicked: "Chuan Cao is over!" What to do? ”
Steward Cao has been outside the crowd all the time! There are too many people, and they are desperately squeezing in! Just knew that the matter of the relief grain was exposed, Steward Cao's heart was light, and today, he was forced into the black-hearted rice again! Just handed over! I feel very sorry!
said that he was solely responsible, and now he only cares about the expenses and registration, and he can't control the rest......
