Procrastination, for Tang Yi is not a big problem, a month's time, including the first to fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, is the time of the New Year, the yamen does not open, the creditor does not collect debts, who if the land is requisitioned in this half month, the lack of virtue is smoking, and the wind stinks for 800 miles.

Out of the fifteenth day of the first month, it is not far from the county examination, the imperial examination has always been a major event, sloppy, many children gathered in Taicang, Shen Liang dared to risk the world's disapproval, obviously not.

"Your Excellency can immediately issue an order and notify all villages and towns that the county examination in the 31st year of Jiajing will be advanced to the first month, so that the candidates will come to the state city after the fifteenth year, and you will personally preside over the exam."

"This is a good idea!" Chen Menghe said with a smile: "The imperial examination is as big as the sky, and the scholars gather, and Shen Liang does not dare to make the heavens angry and resentful." What's more, before the exam, the official can lend the title name, and I don't see anyone, wonderful! What a great idea! ”

After Tang Yi said, there is no need to worry about the time after the year, just how to deal with the past in the next few days before the year.

"By the way, after the twenty-seventh, the official is going to Suzhou to report the one-year money, food, and punishment to the prefect, so that there are only three days left before the twenty-seventh, Tang Xian's nephew, do you have a good idea?"

Why am I again?

It's you who know whether it's good or not, don't put all the blame on me!

"My lord, I want you to leave for Suzhou early, or you will be able to escape!"

"This, I'm afraid it won't work, what if Shen Liang chases after him?" Chen Menghe refused: "I think he is a very serious person, and he is not easy to fool." ”

Tang Yi thought so, and there was really no way for a while, so he could only say: "My lord, if we don't think about it separately, it's really not okay, you can buy some croton and pull it for three days." ”

"You want to kill me!" Chen Menghe scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you have a bad idea. ”

Tang Xiucai thought it was good, and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, it's really not good, you just suffer a little and suffer a little crime, just think it's for the people of Taicang!" ”

Chen Menghe gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "I'll write a letter to the master first, but if I can't do it, I can only eat croton, and I can't kill anyway!" ”

Coming out of the yamen, it is already the time to hold the lamp, the houses on both sides of the street are lit with candles, wafting out the aroma of food, and in the middle of the year, at this time, every household has a little oil and water in their pots.

The well-fed bear child has a red face, running wildly on the street, playing, and venting his inexhaustible energy. Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers is heard, which adds a bit of joy.

At the end of the year, I don't know whether it is happy or worried!

Tang Yi shook his head, silently calculating, the teacher Wei Liangfu and Tang Shunzhi had to send a gift there, he was studying in the Wang family, and he had not yet visited the Wang family, so he should also go. The rest include the Zhu family, Lao Tan Tou and Shen Lin, Lei Qi, Wu Tiancheng, by the way, and Liuying, or please come together, lively and lively.

Just thinking about it, the father and son had already arrived at the door of the house, and were about to open the door, when a figure ran out of it, and just bumped into it, Tang Yi took three steps back, and the other party fell and squatted.

If you look closely, it is the little guy Shen Lin, his face is pale, his eyes are red, as if he is crying nose.

Tang Yi suddenly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When Shen Lin saw that the young master was back, he flattened his mouth and endured his sadness, but tears still flowed.

"Young master, godfather him, he's sick!"

Tang Xiucai frowned, Lao Tan Tou was still sweeping the yard in the morning, there was no problem at all, how could he say that he was sick.

"Shen Lin, you tell the truth, what the hell is going on?"

Shen Lin looked frustrated and told the two of them about the situation. It turned out that since he arrived at the Tang family, Tang Yi has been good to the old man and Shen Lin, and he has some spare money in his hands. The old man thought that there were still many old friends in the village, so he took a half-day off, bought some food and drink, and went to see the old neighbors.

Happily returning to the village, he heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the fields in the village were nailed to wooden stakes, saying that they were to be requisitioned. In the afternoon, a group of men dressed in short beats rode and rammed, and the villagers went to stop them, and three were injured.

One of them was the grandfather of the old Tan Tou, and when he saw the white bones, the old man immediately fainted in pain. He was sent back to Tang's house by the villagers, and as soon as he woke up when he got home, he struggled to go to the cemetery to see, and fainted after walking a few steps.

At this time, Lao Tantou was lying on the kang with a fever, his mouth was full of nonsense, crying, scolding, and he seemed to be more than ten years old, and a number of gray hairs suddenly appeared on his sideburns, which was particularly dazzling.

"I'm not filial, I'm not filial!"

"Impermanence grandpa, take it away, take it all!"

"Hell, it's time to go to hell!"

…… The old man was half-asleep and muttered in his dreams.

Listening to the old man's bleak and hoarse chatter, Aunt Zhu's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth in anger, and kept scolding: "Throw the grave and dig the grave, if you lack great virtue, there is no royal law!" ”

As soon as she looked up, she happened to see Tang Yi coming in, and she hurriedly got up.

"Little Xianggong, you can count it back, Brother Tan was bullied like this, you can't ignore it, you can't lose our face!"

In the past few months, the Tang family has been talking and laughing, and there is no vain exchange. Parents have come several times, who has this dignity. Even Aunt Zhu's eyes are high, and she values the dough more than anything else.

She was angry, and Tang Yi was even more angry.

After listening to Shen Lin's introduction, there is no need to ask, the fault must be Shen Liang's body, this guy is carrying the Zhizhou Yamen behind his back and has already started land acquisition.

First the old house, and now it is bullied to the door, really when I Tang Yi is pinched, so easy to bully!

If land requisition is official business, there are more things than this fuck, Tang Yi can bear it, but when it comes to the people around him, he steps on Tang Yi's red line, which is unbearable!

Thump.

Shen Lin suddenly knelt on the ground, tears flowed for a long time, the little guy's mouth was tightly closed, and he suddenly kowtowed, and his head hit the floor tiles, and it became red and swollen after a few clicks.

"Kneel and kneel, your knees are soft? What's the use of just knowing kowtow when you encounter something, you have to find a way, use your brain! Tang Yi said fiercely.

Shen Lin's body shook, Tang Yi was so angry with him for the first time, the little guy almost instinctively jumped up from the ground, stood in front of Tang Yi with his head down, his head was blank, he opened his mouth, and couldn't spit out a word.

Tang Yi stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said softly: "I have never regarded you as a scholar, we are friends and a family." Take good care of your godfather, wait for him to wake up, and tell him that I, Tang Yi, will definitely let Shen Liang honestly renovate the cemetery and apologize! ”

"Really?"

"Is there anything that your young master can't do?"

"Hmm!" Shen Lin nodded vigorously, and finally burst into laughter, the young master said that if he can do it, he will definitely be able to do it!

In the study, Tang Xiucai sat in the center with a blue face, and Tang Yi and Lei Qi sat on both sides, as well as Wu Tiancheng, who had just arrived.

"It's really unreasonable, Yi'er, you know no, Lao Tantou's village is not far from the land of our ancestral grave. Your father sold the ancestral grave last year, but your kid said that he wanted to buy the ancestral grave back. If it falls into the hands of Shen Liang and is planted with mulberry seedlings, your father will have no face to live! ”

"It's not just you, the child has no face to live!"

Tang Yi said with a calm face: "Dad, the top priority is to find a way to find Shen Liang's shortcomings so that he can prescribe the right medicine." Tang Yi's gaze fell on Lei Qi, but he found that Lei Qi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Little Xianggong, I inquired, Shen Liang is not easy to deal with!"

"How?"

"He has been working for the Weaving Bureau for more than ten years, and he has more than 10 million dollars of silver, but this person wears coarse cloth, drinks cold water, and only eats one meat and one vegetable at each meal, and his life is not as good as that of ordinary people, and there is not even a woman around him. In the past ten years, the weaving eunuchs have changed three or four times, which one of them regards him as a henchman in his confidant, and he can complete any difficult things to him, but he can complete it smoothly. Self-denial, no desire, no desire, ability, connections, and backers! Speaking of which, Lei Qi admired Shen Liang a little, but the more he admired, the more he felt powerless.

Wu Tiancheng rolled his eyes and proposed: "Master, I always listen to what scholars say about the world, if you are poor, if you are poor, you will sell yourself!" ”

"Phew, that's called being poor, and being alone."

"Hehe, that's right, the apprentice means to talk to Shen Liang with the identities of you and Tang Xianggong, and let him let him give up your old mansion and cemetery, as for the others, we can't care about it, do you think this idea will come true?"

Without waiting for Tang Yi to answer, Lei Qi shook his head.

"You don't know, Shen Liang is a stinky stone, invulnerable. But he, the most believe in feng shui, believe in fate! I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Feng Shui said that Tang Ye's old house has good feng shui, and he can be rich and wealthy if he lives in it, and he will have many sons and blessings. Shen Liang bought the house, and heard that it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to renovate the house, so he invested such a large capital, how could he let it out easily. ”

"It's over, it's over!"

Wu Tiancheng spread his hands, this time the master encountered a problem, people have strong financial resources, stronger backers, soft and hard do not eat, simply steamed and cooked, mallet does not plaque, fried does not explode, ringing like a copper pea.

Everyone was dejected, but Tang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled mysteriously: "I still think he is flawless, it turns out that there are still flaws!" ”
