Li You got the orders of the magistrate and Master Huang, so he went out and called some quick soaps, because the master said not to publicize it widely, so he didn't dare to let those helpers with big mouths go.

This gang is also called white servants, that is, unemployed vagrants who gather around the arrest of Kuai, while helping the officials run errands, but do not receive money from the yamen; On the one hand, he relied on his close relationship with the public to do some things, collect some benefits, and mix a few bowls of rice to eat. In the words of the 21st century, it is a temporary worker, and there are only about a dozen arresters in the entire Xujiang County, and there are more than 100 helpers.

Li You led the four officials and two prison mothers to the Guanyin Nunnery in the east of the city, and when they got there, they called for the door and rushed in. After a while, Nun Tian was escorted out, and when she saw Li You, her face was as white as earth, her body was shaking like chaff, and she could barely walk.

The two officials had no choice but to hold the nun, and they also knew that this nun was not a good thing, so they kept pinching and touching their hands, and they took advantage of a little advantage that was not taken advantage of.

After waiting for another moment, the prison lady helped Yan Niangzi out, and it was really a remnant flower after the wind and willow rain. The prison mother-in-law is very experienced, and she brought a hat and veil and other things for Yan Niangzi to use.

This team of people finished work and returned to the government, and Chen Zhixian was promoted, and only Master Huang waited as a temporary secretary, and there was no one else. first sent Yan Niangzi to the side room to rest, and began to interrogate the Tian nun. When the nun saw the official, her expression became more and more flustered. After playing a few boards first, I recruited all of them.

It turned out that there was a Huzhou merchant Wang, who hooked up with Tian Nun and became an old acquaintance. Wang merchants do some silk business, back and forth between Huzhou and Xujiang, every time they go to Xujiang, they will have a conversation with Tian nuns. The two of them were in the nunnery, and suddenly there was a spring thunder and a spring rain, and then a lady came to shelter from the rain. Seeing this, Wang Keshang became interested, and teamed up with Tian Nun to imprison the Yan lady, and said that the matter was done secretly, and no one knew.

Then the merchant found a wooden box, thinking that he would put the little lady in the box and transport it to the ship and turn to another country. It's just that he was reluctant to have his goods, and the business delayed these days, and finally explained to the Tian nun that he would come to transport people on the nineteenth day.

Chen Zhixian's face was red, and under Lang Lang, there were such lawbreakers in his territory! and put Nun Tian in prison, and sent someone to arrest the merchant Wang.

At this time, Yan Xiucai rushed over, and the husband and wife hugged each other and cried, and the five or six people in the court were all emotional. I only heard that Yan Niangzi crying tears and raining, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave family is disgraced and lives in the world." I am fortunate to see the heavens, and I have no worries about meeting my husband again. Say goodbye to this and serve the officials in the next life. ”

She tried to kill herself by hitting a pillar...... Judging from a large number of operas and novels, Li You secretly moved his steps and quietly leaned towards the pillar closest to Yan Niangzi.

"Don't be short-sighted! This is not the lady's willingness, but the fault of others, what is wrong with the lady? And go home with me to serve my in-laws in peace. Yan Xiucai eagerly grabbed his own lady and said. Somehow he didn't hold it, and was broken free by Yan Niangzi.

Just as judged, Yan Niangzi slammed into the wooden pillar next to her, and Li You quietly moved sideways and stopped in the middle. Yan Niangzi just lowered her head and hit the pillar, where to see what was in front of her, and as a result, she crashed into Li You's arms. But Li You didn't stand firm when he moved over, and after being hit hard by Yan Niangzi, he subconsciously hugged her and fell to the ground.

I saw that Li You and Yan Niangzi were rolling on the ground, looking at each other, closer than closer, and they were stunned for a while.

Everyone in the court was dumbfounded, what kind of drama is this... I've never seen anything like it.

According to this kind of ugly case, the victim of the little lady will inevitably dissect her heart, whether it is a performance or a sincere heart, she must stage a drama of death. For example, if you hit a pillar, there are indeed those who dare to commit suicide, and they must be commended as a festival woman, and they may go to the archway after death. But it's rare to really die after all, it's more like breaking your scalp and pretending to be in a coma to be rescued, and then it's over, which can be regarded as a death of your will.

I can't complain about anyone, the ancients are this habit, you don't see, when the emperor Yanjing is to resign three times, everyone can just ascend the throne by twisting it together, and the essence of this trick is the same.

This kind of unspoken rules of society are understood by everyone, so they didn't stop it, and even Yan Xiucai may have deliberately let go. Only this Li You, with some consciousness of his past life, made this oolong when he was young and impulsive, causing the court to look at each other, what should I do next?

The first to react was Yan Xiucai, who stepped forward and pulled up the lady, nodded to the magistrate, and left the yamen with the lady quickly, leaving in a hurry. He also understands that it would be a shame to stay no matter what, and thirty-six plans would be the best.

After a lot of confusion, Chen Zhixian shook his head and retreated.

Li You, who realized something, got up from the ground, laughed awkwardly a few times, and hurriedly left. Later, everyone in the hall talked about it, and the conclusion of the public recommendation was that Li You deliberately flirted and took advantage of Yan Niangzi as a rescuer. laughed and scolded together: "What a womanizer!" The court also dares to be so presumptuous, and he is not afraid of the big board of the county lord. It is estimated that Yan Xiucai will think like this when he comes back to his senses, otherwise everyone will really not be able to explain Li You's behavior.

That night, Huzhou merchant Wang was arrested and brought to justice. The next time, the magistrate called four or five insiders to try the case, and Wang Keshang wanted to deny it, so he was sentenced to a big sentence.

Li You, who was called to serve as a soap servant, personally held it, but he was not skilled in business, and accidentally pinched off Wang's finger and fell off, not reaching the level of a broken thread connected to flesh and bones, and was despised by the old soap servant. After several punishments, Wang Keshang suffered but was in pain, and he also recruited all of them.

Chen Zhixian got the confession and wrote the verdict, but was stopped by the master and said a few words. Therefore, it was decided that the case involved the woman's reputation, and that the public execution would not be carried out by the Ministry of Liberation (Suzhou Prefecture and Nanjing Criminal Department). Huzhou merchant Wang, Xujiang Chengdong Guanyin Nunnery nun Tian and others committed a partnership with a ** wife and intended to abduct and sell, the crime was extremely heinous, and the reason of heaven was intolerable, and they were sentenced to death with a cane in the court, wrapped in a mat and thrown to the mound for burial. Wang's side had 200 taels of silver, all of which were compensated to Yan Xiucai, and the Guanyin Nunnery in the east of the city was confiscated into the official and dealt with in the future.

The punishment in ancient times was much more ruthless than in the 21st century, Li You sighed in his heart, and he would come out after being locked up for more than ten years in his previous life. Also, this Yan Xiucai actually got two hundred taels of silver for mental damage! It's equivalent to his salary for more than ten years.

When the nun Tian heard the verdict, she panicked and hugged Li You's leg, "The little official save me!" ”

Chen Zhixian, Master Huang, and the two government officials looked at Li You with playful eyes. Li You was embarrassed to get rid of Nun Tian, but he couldn't break free from being entangled, he thought to himself, you nun has done something hurtful, what am I doing to save you, I don't have the ability. Hard-hearted... Hard-hearted...

Nun Tian saw that Li You didn't care about her, and scolded in despair: "You little thief and donkey who killed a thousand knives!" There's no dew at all! I've blinded these dog's eyes, and I've lured you wolf-hearted thing! Curse that whip down to you to rot early! ”

There is a love ...... Everyone in the hall looked at Li You's eyes more and more interestingly, if it weren't for the fear of being beaten by the magistrate in the name of roaring the court, some people would have raised their heads and laughed. is a good Li Xiaoguan, and he has caused peach-colored disputes in the court for two consecutive days, and he has been in the limelight for a while.

Li You was greatly annoyed when he heard the viciousness of this Yinni's scolding, and he felt that he had lost face, so he kicked away with all his strength. What a! Master, I also gave you a few coins of silver, and we don't owe each other!

Chen Zhixian saw that the more trouble became more and more unbearable, for the sake of solving the case, he didn't bother to care about the pickled matter in Li You's crotch, dropped the sign and ordered the execution, and beat the two criminals to death and bury them early.

Next to him, Master Huang looked at Li You thoughtfully, and said: "Li Messenger and I went to the public house to talk, and the old man had something to discuss. ”

Li You was a little uneasy, could it be that I made a big mistake? Is there such a thing as a style problem these days?,Didn't I hear that it's all about elegance.。 After thinking about it again, if there was really a big mistake, with Chen Zhixian's methods, it would have been another big meal a long time ago, and it seems that the problem will not be too serious. When he arrived at Master Huang's public house, Li You shook his head and said, "The old gentleman called the little one to come, what do you have to say?" ”

Master Huang nodded with a smile and said, "Li is young and romantic, and the old man's eyes are hot." ”

Li You was ashamed, "The old gentleman laughed. ”

Master Huang asked: "Li has been a servant for generations, and he is also familiar with people in this county, and now the old man has something to trust." ”

In fact, I don't know Li You grew up in his hometown Xishui Town, until last year when he replaced his father and entered the yamen as a messenger, so he lived in the county seat, and he has not worked for more than half a year, where can he be called familiar. But it is obviously beneficial and harmless to take this opportunity to do a good job for Master Huang, so he will accept it first.

"The proprietor of my family, Chen Xianzun, is from a large family in Shandong, and has studied poetry and books since he was a child. Master Huang said slowly: "After winning the Jinshi, he was not admitted to Hanlin (Jinshi entering Hanlin is a fast track to promotion), so he didn't want to stay in Beijing, so he chose the seat of Xujiang Zhixian County." But after all, he is young and a little vigorous......"

Li Youyi's mind is confused, what is this old gentleman telling me about this? But he was confused, but he couldn't help but envy in his heart, he was born in a wealthy family, handsome and elegant, and he was a jinshi in his twenties, although he failed to enter Hanlin, but it was also an existence that he could only look up to in all aspects. I can't wait to ask the sky about the wine, why don't you let me Li You cross over to Chen Zhixian? can only be a small citizen, and finally mingle in the market, and there is no hope of becoming a scholar for the rest of his life.

Master Huang changed the topic, and then took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it to Li You and said: "The last two meals of the board Li was tired, this is some soup money, and the old man is in charge of giving it to you." ”

Li You didn't shirk it, put away the silver and patted his chest and said: "The little one is a straightforward person, what is the matter with the old gentleman, just give orders, and the little one will be done." ”

Originally, with the system of this dynasty, the household department had hundreds of tax divisions in the world to collect commercial taxes, and Xujiang County, as an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, also set up a tax department. There is a household named Wang Yue, who is called Zhongnan, who was ordered to inspect the tax departments in the south of the Yangtze River, and came to Xujiang County. According to the atmosphere of officialdom, as a local parent official, Chen Zhixian wants to give Wang Langzhong a clean sweep and give Cheng Yi money - these are all bad rules of officialdom, and no one can avoid it.

That said, Chen Zhixian arranged an official banquet as usual, and invited some squires to eat and drink with him. But in the end, Chen Zhixian and Wang Langzhong were very unhappy, and the problem was the silver. After the banquet was dispersed, Chen Zhixian gave Wang Langzhong a copy of Cheng Yi, Wang Langzhong felt insulted and did not accept it, and the two parted unhappily.

This Wang Langzhong is really a clean official... Li You thought.

Master Huang sneered and said, "Do you say that he is as incorruptible as water?" The county only gave him five or two Cheng Yi, and it was a joke when he received it! ”

It turned out that it was because there were too few... It does not conform to Wang Langzhong's identity as the second largest department in the world (the household officials have always felt that they are higher than the Ministry of Rites, second only to the Ministry of Officials).

Li You was speechless when he heard it, then Wang Langzhong is also a five-grade master of the key department of Jingtang, and he wants to send it away for five taels of silver? No wonder Wang Langzhong was unhappy. This Chen Zhixian can be a second-class jinshi, he should be a smart person, how could he do such a ridiculous and stupid thing. Could it be that his Jinshi background was unexpected?

Li You was very curious about the reason, but unfortunately Master Huang never explained, which made people's hearts itch.

"If this happens, the old man has to try to remedy the owner." Master Huang continued: "I inquired about Xiang Ya in Wang Lang, who likes to enter the house in cold clothes and micro-clothes, pretends to be vulgar and laughs at the night, and is the most impatient to socialize with Yaji, chess, qin, calligraphy and painting. The old man plans to invite him to socialize in this county, but I have not been here for a long time, I really don't know the way, I see that Li is young, I must be familiar with the local Qinglou Chu Pavilion, please help me. ”

You know... Master Huang gestured with his eyes.

With the classification of this year, this Wang Langzhong is biased towards taste... Where did Li You understand these Qinglou doorways, he crossed the two prostitutes he had been to before, and they were not on the table at all. But when it comes to this, and then look at his image in the public court, if you don't understand Master Huang, you don't believe it. If you don't understand, you pretend to understand, isn't it just a pimp. He made up his mind in his heart and said: "The old gentleman is serious, I don't know which one is suitable for a while, wait for me to go down and consider it carefully, and there will be a reward today." ”

Master Huang took out a small ingots and handed it to Li You, "If there is a suitable notekeeper, it will be decided, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards." ”

Having said that, this Chen Zhi County is the official of the Zhengyin parents in the Nanzhili locality, and he is only assessed by the Suzhou Prefecture and the Nanjing Ministry of Officials; Second, although Wang Langzhong is an important official in Beijing, this time he only came to inspect the tax department directly under the Ministry of Households, and he couldn't find Chen Zhixian. Even if he offended Wang Langzhong, is Master Huang so nervous? This has something to do with another plan that Master Huang made for Chen Zhixian.

Li You was entrusted by Master Huang to go out of the yamen, and he was thinking about this matter. Coldly, I heard someone scolding in my ear: "Little thief donkey! Come to a sticky end! "Someone scolded him for the second time today, and in a blink of an eye, it was Yu Dalang who was arrested by him before.

Today, the truth of the Xiucai lady's case is over, and Yu Dalang was naturally cleared of his grievances by Chen Qingtian and released from prison, and he was reincarnated. After being locked up for a while, the clay man was also forced out of the fire surname, and as soon as he came out, he saw the enemy and couldn't help but curse a few words.

When Li You pulled out his waist knife and prepared to teach a lesson, Yu Dalang slipped away like a rabbit.

Looking at this speed, Li You thinks he can't catch up, but you can still run the temple if you can run the monk? When I have time to look for you, Li You scolded and took back the knife, and remembered that it was obviously his own fault first, so he decided to let this guy go.

The dog-legged servants are all this style of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and it has become a fixed image in the hearts of the broad masses of the people, but it is a pity that Li You is one of the glorious dogs.
