81 Money opens the way to inform the government It is not easy to get rid of slavery
In accordance with the instructions of the county order, Liang Wenzhen prepared gifts and money, took Xu Fan with him, and rushed to Dongping Mansion. The two of them hurried up, rushed to Dongping Mansion all the way to the dust, and immediately found an inn to settle down.
After a short rest, Liang Wen really ordered Xu Fan to take care of the items he was carrying, and he brought gifts to visit. After several inquiries, I finally found the residence of Chen Wenzhao's brother-in-law Liu Yu.
Liang Wenzhen knocked on the door, and what came out was a ruddy-faced young man, seeing that it was a living person, he tilted his head and asked, "Who is the guest officer looking for?" ”
Liang Wenzhen was very annoyed when he saw this person so arrogant, but he pretended to be polite and polite, and said, "I'm looking for Liu Yu, does he live here?" ”
"It's right down," the young man glanced at Liang Wenzhen, playing with his nails, "I'm afraid that the guest officer is going to help build the line below, so I have to ask my brother-in-law." This is useless, the brother-in-law is a pedantic master, and he can't help you much. Liu Yu finished speaking, but he wanted to close the door.
"Wait, under Liang Wenzhen," Liang Wenzhen opened the door, handed a one-foot square brocade box to Liu Yu, and said, "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect." I hope that Liu Daguan will help me with this little favor. ”
Liu Yu saw that the brocade box was finely workmanship and exquisite brocade, and he thought that the items inside were extraordinary, so he paused and said, "I will help you meet at most, as for whether it will work out or not, it depends on your creation." When he said that, he accepted the brocade box and put it in his pocket.
"Tomorrow at noon, I invite my brother-in-law to come over for dinner, Brother Liang pretends to be my old acquaintance, come up to meet, can you catch up, see if Brother Liang has been created." Liu Yu finished speaking, closed the door and left.
Liu Yu's house, although it is a little unreasonable, but after all, it gave Liang Wenzhen a glimmer of hope. Liang Wenzhen returned to the inn and began to carefully calculate how to get in touch with Chen Wenzhao.
On the second day, Liang Wenzhen went to the banquet as promised and saw Chen Wenzhao. Liu Yu said to Chen Wenzhao: "Brother-in-law, this is a friend of the next, Liang Wenzhen is a big official. ”
"This Yanggu is hugely rich, the famous Liang official, how did you know him?" Chen Wenzhao asked. Liu Yu couldn't answer, Chen Wenzhao flicked his sleeves and left angrily. Throw down a sentence: "You don't grow up, if you have to connect with others, I won't see you again in the future." ”
"Adults and slow," Liang Wenzhen said, "I was the last time I was involved in the murder of Wu Dalang in Yanggu County, Pan Jinlian's defense witness came here and met Liu Daguan at that time. When I visited a friend today, I happened to meet an adult, so don't misunderstand. If you have a disagreement with the two of you, it is Liang's fault. ”
"Oh," Chen Wenzhao stopped, turned around, walked over to Liang Wenzhen, and said, "Since that's the case, it's good to tell the truth, why bother to spit out." ”
"I guess I forgot about it for a while, so there's nothing wrong with that." Liang Wenzhen smiled and said, "It's not common for adults to be angry and powerful, so that Brother Liu is speechless in front of adults." ”
Liu Yu saw that Liang Wenzhen relieved him in a few words, and suddenly had a good impression of him. Seeing that Chen Wenzhao was suspicious, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, my brother-in-law's eyes are terrifying. ”
Chen Wenzhao glared at Liu Yu and stopped talking.
Liu Yu beckoned the two to sit down and have a drink. Liang Wenzhen and Chen Wenzhao talked for a while, and were impressed by his conduct and morality. From poetry and songs, the two talked about the philosophy of life, and they had a feeling of hating each other. But Liang Wenzhen struggled with how to ask for help from the other party.
After thinking and meditating, Liang Wenzhen finally got a plan.
Liang Wenzhen's mouth was like a river, talking about the politics of the current dynasty, expressing his heart directly, scolding the traitorous ministers for being in charge, and feeling that the country is not a country, and the society is dying. Chen Wenzhao thought so, but because of the sensitive topic, he wanted to stop it several times, but he felt that the discussion was like thunder and he couldn't bear to interrupt.
After Liang Wenzhen stopped for a while, Chen Wenzhao said: "Liang Daguan, he has profound insights and really admires. But this kind of thing should be said to the government, and it must not be taken out and said. This court politics is not what we are most worried about at the moment. What the government is urgently worried about is the poor harvest of the previous year, and how to improve the harvest is the top priority. ”
Liang Wenzhen thought for a moment, and said: "Speaking of this harvest, there is a rice planting method in my hometown from overseas, called the dense planting method, and its principle is to increase the yield of rice per mu through reasonable dense planting. ”
Chen Wenzhao was really interested, and said, "Do you have a complete grasp of this dense planting method?" ”
"This method of dense planting has been proven for many years, and the production has increased greatly. As a result, the people of my country have a good harvest every year, and the peasants are rich, and there is no home for cold and hunger. Liang Wenzhen swore and was full of confidence.
When Chen Wenzhao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Can you invite Liang Daguan to come to the mansion tonight?" Of course, Liang Wenzhen would not postpone it, and said: "Lord Fu Yin has an appointment, how dare you not obey." ”
The two laughed and drank merrily. After a table of wine, the cups and plates were in disarray, and Liu Yusong and the two left.
Throughout the afternoon, Liang Wenzhen was thinking about the meeting with Chen Wenzhao in the evening, thinking about what kind of situation would arise and how to deal with it.
That night, Liang Wenzhen brought silver tickets and gifts, and was invited to Chen Wenzhao, the government meeting. This Chen Wenzhao really deserves his reputation, the mansion lives in the house, none of them are expensive and luxurious, they are all ordinary furnishings, and they are not as good as the ordinary solid home.
Liang Wenzhen and Chen Wenzhao exchanged pleasantries for a while, paced to Chen Wenzhao's residential hall, sat opposite each other, and poured tea.
Liang Wenzhen took a sip of tea, it was really difficult to swallow, and he swallowed it forcefully, but he pretended to enjoy it very much, and said: "Fu Yin Qing Tea Tea is as clear as Fu Yin, good tea, good tea." This is the silver donated to the government for repairs, and a small gift to the lord of the government, please smile and accept it. As he spoke, he took the brocade box in his hand and the silver ticket in his sleeve to Chen Wenzhao.
Chen Wenzhao took the silver ticket, but pushed the brocade box open, and said with a smile: "This silver ticket has been received by the government, and it will be announced to the whole government tomorrow, saying that you Liang Daguan, sympathize with the people's feelings, and donate 20,000 taels to build bridges and roads to benefit the people, and the people must be grateful." ”
"Lord Fu Yin should not postpone it, he hates to see the adults late, and his admiration for the adults is like a surging river. A little gift and a confidant, that's nothing. Liang Wenzhen said.
Chen Wenzhao thought for a moment and said: "It is better to be respectful than to obey the order, do not chatter, and inform the precautions of dense planting." ”
Liang Wenzhen laughed and said, "This dense planting is no different from ordinary planting. It's just that this spacing, the distance between the front and back of a seedling, the left and right distances, is one inch, but more fertilizer must be applied. ”
Chen Wenzhao nodded with satisfaction and said: "In this case, I will issue a list tomorrow, and all localities will pilot according to the proportion of acres and vigorously promote the dense planting method." ”
Liang Wenzhen wanted to ask for help, thought about it again and again, and said: "I heard that Chen Fu Yin is aware of everything, I have an unjust case, I don't know if Fu Yin is willing to make it convenient, write off some files, and return the innocence of the parties." ”
When Chen Wenzhao heard this, his face changed greatly, he pushed the silver ticket and the brocade box, and said: "If you have nothing to do, you have exhausted all the organs, I am afraid that it is premeditated, and you want to overturn the case with the Pan family." ”
Liang Wen was really anxious, and said: "It's just because I really know that Pan Jinlian really didn't participate in the murder, but was an innocent woman." Because I pity her in my heart, I suffered this unjustified disaster, so I can't help her. ”
"That Pan Jinlian was sentenced to enter the church and be a slave forever, that is, although she is suspicious, there is no ironclad evidence." Chen Wenzhao said, "And the verdict was made by Yanggu County, and the government also thinks it is appropriate, and there is no doubt about it." Now it's good that you have such a clever trick to bribe me. ”
"I'm not a bribe. This was originally in the next mind, and as a businessman, it was taken from the people and benefited the people, and it was also a matter of course how to call bribery. Liang Wenzhen said, "I am willing to donate more silver taels, I just hope that the adults can think of a way to make it easier to act, and get that Pan Jinlian out of slavery and avoid the suffering of slavery for a lifetime." ”
"All the evidence in this case has been carefully studied by this government, and the testimony is also clear to this government." Chen Wenzhao said, "If there is no new and stronger evidence now, this government will never interfere in this case again." If you want this government to do some tricks for you, it is even more impossible. The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, is the local parent official, the duty is to do it, and he does not dare to show favoritism. ”
"In that case, Liang is bothered a lot." Liang Wenzhen said, "But some must be polite, please accept it, don't let Liang down." ”
Chen Wenzhao was about to resign, but Liang Wenzhen had already gone out and left a sentence: "Fu Yin is famous, the name is not deserved, the purpose has not been achieved, and it is not worth the trip." ”
Liang Wenzhen went out of the prefect's yamen and looked at the street lights, but he didn't see the people looking for him thousands of times. Looking up at the crescent moon, thinking of the flowers blooming and the moon is often missing, it is always shallow and deep, and it is even more sighing, so he hurried back to the inn, ate and washed with Xu Fan, and planned to return to Yanggu County tomorrow.
Rescued Pan Jinlian and let her get out of slavery, things are not going well, if you want to know what will happen next, please see the next decomposition.
