Chapter 106 The Case of Yang Xiu, a Famous Scholar 1
It's a pity that this person was an arrogant guy when he was a student, most of Ruan Yuanlin's disciples were descendants of the wealthy families or feudal officials, but Yang Xiuzhi often used his literary talent to mock and mock their parents' behavior. Most of those classmates who did this hated him very much, and Ruan Yuanlin had no choice but to end his only three years of study in a hurry and let him go back to Puyang to find his uncle Yang Yanzhi.
After he came back, Yang Yanzhi had no choice but to arrange for him to participate in the scientific examination, which was not as formal and unified as the Sui Dynasty at that time, that is, some informal assessments held privately by some local governments in order to absorb talents, so he was promoted to the county magistrate of Changshan Zhending by Dingzhou Assassin Shi. After being an official for a year, he was exceptionally promoted to the Taishou of Zhao County because of his outstanding political achievements, but unfortunately he was removed from the imperial court after only two months in office because he was not afraid of power and executed the corrupt officials of the Qiner Zhu family.
After three years of leisure, he was valued by the Southern Xuzhou Thorn History and served as the Taishou of Suyu County, the only county in the state. Southern Xuzhou is close to Liang State, belongs to the frontier war-torn land, Yang Xiuzhi not only lamented the miserable life of the people, but also saddened that the court was corrupt, traitorous ministers were in charge, no Ming monarch could notice this remote place, so he gave up drinking every day, because of the vassal elegance, he even liked women. In the past two years, the political performance has been average, but at least it has not caused any more trouble.
He didn't have too many thoughts about Gao Huan's regime and Gao Huan himself, but he felt that he was born at the wrong time, and if he could serve under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Sima Yan, he would definitely be able to make some achievements. Because of drinking flower wine, his body is getting weaker and sicker, and he doesn't care at all. is still singing and banqueting all day long, and his uncle Yang Yanzhi did not listen to him several times, so that Yang Yanzhi no longer cares about him.
On this day, Yang Xiuzhi was still asleep in the room. The previous night's sex had left him in a state of confusion and exhaustion. Beside him lay a half-naked singer. These two are famous women in the fireworks alley here, they were invited to come to sing and dance last night, and the banquet dispersed and the two beauties were left by Yang Xiuzhi to discuss the dance arts.
The three of them were sleeping in a huddle, and the little guy outside the door hurriedly banged on the door and shouted: "The master is not good, the boss of the state government yamen has come to inspect the yamen." Hurry up, or you'll be in trouble. ”
The little girl was also told this news by the official of the government office, and the time on duty was in charge of the affairs of a county, but he was messing with the singer at home. If this matter is known by the assassination history, the loss of official position is small, and if it is investigated, I am afraid that Yang Xiuzhi will have to suffer a lawsuit, which is called dereliction of duty. It is a grave sin of dereliction of duty.
Yang Xiuzhi's little guy is called Yu Tong. He is fourteen years old this year, and he is a clever and intelligent teenager, who usually accompanies Yang Xiuzhi to ride horses, write, play the piano, and play chess. Don't look at his young age, under the influence of Yang Xiuzhi, this kid is also proficient in piano, chess, books and horses, and is very popular with Yang Xiuzhi.
The three people in this room heard Yu Tong yelling and yelling. I couldn't sleep and was woken up. Yang Xiuzhi's sleepy eyes were hazy as he fumbled with his clothes and asked, "Which yamen master is patrolling?" "I reached out and touched the **** of the singer. Yang Xiuzhi retracted his hand embarrassedly and continued to grope, the light in the room was too dark, and he accidentally touched the thigh of another singer, which was slippery and tender, Yang Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed, but the two singers were very cheerful, and laughed at him without mind: "Look at you, you are groping indiscriminately on the Taoist family, why didn't you touch enough of my two sisters last night?" The two looked at him with a grin.
The little guy outside the door said anxiously: "It is said that Lord Xu Mingzhi, the servant of the imperial court, and Lord Thorn Shi are inspecting the political achievements together, and they happened to come to us today, so you hurry up." ”
Yang Xiuyi heard that he was a member of the central government, and he was also a little anxious to find clothes and pants to put on, how could this official, who is usually difficult to see, have the leisure to come to his territory to inspect today. Here he was in a hurry to get dressed, but the sister over there was messing with him, deliberately hiding his socks and hats, Yang Xiuzhi anxiously begged her for mercy: "Two girls, don't mess around, thank you here, it's all different from the past, don't delay the time." ”
"It is said that you, Lord Yang, despise worldly fame and fortune, and I may not see it, so I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you." The older singer took his hat and deliberately teased him. Yang Xiuzhi chased her with one bare foot in annoyance, snatched the official hat from her hand, and said a little angrily: "There should also be a limit to jokes, although I Yang is not a layman who strives for fame and fortune, but my family and relatives are still alive in this world, I always have to think about it, filial piety comes first." With that, put on his official hat and turned around and went out.
The singer shouted behind him with a resentment, "Isn't it just a joke with you, stingy man!" ”
Yang Xiuzhi hurriedly ran to the office of the government office, he lived in the courtyard of the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, the front yard was the office, and it would take more than ten minutes to walk back and forth once, so the distance was not too close.
Yang Xiuzhi came to the door of the study, quickly tidied up his clothes with the help of Yu Tong, and stepped in. I saw that there were already several people in the room looking through the official documents he had sorted out, and at this moment, Nanxuzhou Thorn Shi was nodding and explaining some official cases to Xu Mingzhi, and when everyone saw Yang Xiuzhi coming in, Xu Mingzhi deliberately asked Thorn Shi: "Lord Thorn Shi, is this ......?" ”
Without waiting for the assassin to answer, Yang Xiuzhi took a step forward and said loudly: "Student Yang Xiuzhi, this place is too guarded, I don't know that the adults came to inspect today, and they are far away, forgive their sins." ”
Xu Mingzhi just nodded and didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to flip through the file. Thorn Shi's complaining eyes shot at Yang Xiuzhi, and he angrily pouted at him, meaning to let him come over and explain himself. Yang Xiuzhi stepped forward, and there were two people standing next to Xu Mingzhi, one was wearing civilian clothes but looked very delicate and heroic, it was estimated that it was Xu Mingzhi's Mr. Shuzuo. The one on the side knew at a glance that it should be Xu Mingzhi's bodyguard, the reason was very simple, this person was hawk-eyed, and a pair of eyeballs were looking around alarmingly.
"My lord, I'll come." Yang Xiu stepped forward to take the file in Xu Mingzhi's hand, Xu Mingzhi smiled at him and said, "It's okay, I'll do it myself." Yang Xiuzhi felt a little embarrassed, not the embarrassment of being rejected. It was the Feng Ying Horse that he hated the most before, why did he appear on him at this moment, can't he be exempt from vulgarity?
Yang Xiuzhi was still thinking, but Xu Mingzhi spoke: "It seems that Lord Yang is usually very busy. I don't have much office, most of the files that need to be processed here are backlogged here, I looked at the time, the earliest even reported last year that was not processed, what is the situation? After that, he stared at Yang Xiuzhi.
The assassin on the side was already secretly wiping the sweat on his forehead, and now not only Yang Xiuzhi had to finish playing, but he also had to get into it if he couldn't get his future. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuzhi smiled indifferently. said: "My lord is too worried, I have already read these copywriting files, but they are just some disputes between the neighbors." It's just a trivial thing in the market. It is not a big problem for the government to deal with it or not, and if it is really to deal with these things, it will only be an easy matter for the lower officials, and these things will be all settled in half a day. ”
Thorn Shi was so shocked that his heartbeat almost stopped. Xu Mingzhi asked a little annoyed: "Then according to your words, what is the matter that can be bothered by your old man?" ”
"A big deal in the court. The national policy of national development, the tributary conquest of the enemy country, I think I should be interested in. Yang Xiuzhi saw Xu Mingzhi today, and he also planned to vent the depression in his heart, so he simply spoke wildly. Xu Mingzhi was about to get angry and scold, but he was stopped by the handsome scholar who looked like a scholar, and only heard the scholar say: "Since you are so capable, so let's do it, you can dispose of all the official duties that have been backlogged for almost a year in one day." We'll talk about other things then. ”
When Yang Xiuzhi heard this, he turned his head and asked him: "Dare to ask the name of Gao?" Xu Mingzhi was startled, thinking that he had seen Gao Huan's identity. Otherwise, how can you ask him his surname? Who knew that Gao Huan replied with a smile: "I'm just Lord Xu's entourage Shuzuo, not the surname Gao." ”
Yang Xiuzhi was a little disgusted with him and said: "Well, as you said, if I handle these official duties within one day, what should I do?" Xu Mingyi was about to get angry when he heard this, Gao Huan smiled slightly: "Then our Lord Xu can recommend you to serve in the Central Imperial Court, at least the position of Jiuqing." ”
"Lord Xu, is what you said seriously Mr. Shuzuo?" Yang Xiuzhi turned his head and asked Xu Mingzhi, Xu Mingzhi said a little embarrassed: "That's right, that's what he said." Yang Xiuzhi laughed three times and then said, "Okay, let's make a decision." Xu Mingzhi did not forget to mend the knife: "Lord Yang, if you can't finish these official duties in one day, then I will punish you." ”
Yang Xiuzhi laughed and said: "Okay, I'll start working from now on, Lord Xu and Master Thorn Shi will sit on the side to see if I am fair or not?" Thorn Shi stepped forward and whispered: "You are crazy, what you said is that within one day, this has been half a day, and you can finish a year's official duties in one afternoon?" "It means you don't cheat Lao Tzu.
Yang Xiuzhi smiled slightly and said to him: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
So Yang Xiuzhi immediately went to the court to try the case, Gao Huan also came to the court with great interest to listen, originally Xu Mingzhi wanted to give him a seat, he said in a low voice: "Don't be like this, in case Yang Xiuzhi sees it, we will gang up, it's okay, you can sit down." Xu Mingzhi's mind was not on the case at all, he felt that Gao Huan standing behind him was staring at him all the time, which made him uncomfortable as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Gao Huan looked at Yang Xiuzhi's office with interest, but it was indeed as he said, it was all trivial and short-term things, and it didn't take long to dispose of more than half of the files, which was tiring for the officials, who were usually leisurely and loose and had nothing to do, and today's half-day effort summoned criminals, collected physical evidence, sent them with the court, and busily tired the dozen or so officials into dogs.
When it was almost dusk, Yang Xiuzhi disposed of the last official document on the case, and instructed the officials to deal with the follow-up matters in this way and this while handwriting instructions. Thorn Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Mingzhi's face was red and white, a little embarrassed and a little angry. Gao Huan looked at Yang Xiuzhi with a little surprise and admiration in the back.
Just when everyone thought that today's matter really ended here, suddenly there was a shout of drumming and shouting at the door, Yang Xiuzhi threw away the cinnabar pen in his hand, turned his head and asked the head of the official team: "Who is beating the drum?" ”
The head of the official team went out very reluctantly to check, and today he has done all the work of the year in a day, and he is tired like a dead dog. finally got to the point of the next value, and there were people who came to beat the drum and voice their grievances, which was really bad luck for his grandmother.
I saw a young man limping into the lobby with the head of the class, and before he got close, the young man knelt down and cried loudly: "I beg the lord to avenge the villain, Lord Qingtian." ”
Yang Xiuzhi asked him to stop crying, and asked with a straight face: "Who in the hall is complaining, hurry up and report your name to hand over the paper." The young man hurriedly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and asked the official to hand it over, and cried in his mouth: "The villain's surname is Li, and he is a member of the Li family village thirty miles outside the city, and the villain's brother Li An went out to do business and sell brushes a few days ago, and said that he would return in three or five days, but now that more than ten days have passed, no one has been seen, and the people who have done business together have come back one after another.
