Chapter 42: A Deadly Gift
Zhou Bantou looked left and right, pulled up Mao Wenzhi, and avoided him in the corner of the wall, and then whispered: "I took a lot of effort to inquire, but unfortunately no one knows what crime Master Dianshi has committed." I heard that it was an official document approved by the Nanjing Criminal Department, and it may also involve a big man in Beijing, which is really strange, how could the master of the history of the Dian Shi have something to do with the big man in Beijing. ”
Mao asked Zhidao: "It's impossible for my eldest brother to do anything hurtful!" ”
Zhou Bantou smiled bitterly: "I know, I can't believe in the character of Lord Dianshi?" Taking a step back, even if the master of the history is really corrupt and bribery, careless of human life, with his official position, he should not alarm the big people in the capital, and it is impossible for the Nanjing Criminal Department to directly inquire into this matter. ”
Mao Wenzhi glared and said, "Then tell me, is my eldest brother's life in danger?" If it's just a matter of losing office and resigning, it's nothing. ”
"This ......"
Zhou Bantou's face turned into a bun, and he said with a bitter face: "Old Mao, this matter is ......, alas, let me tell you, even the county magistrate has never encountered this kind of thing." Fang Cai Su Zhutou asked him, and the county magistrate was also at a loss, not knowing what crime Lord Ye had committed and how the court would deal with it. ”
Outside the Huxian prison, a catcher who volunteered to accompany Sister Sun to visit the prison here said with an ugly face: "Gao Xiaoliu'er, with the friendship of our brothers, you don't give this face?" ”
The jailer said apologetically: "Brother Luo, I'm really sorry, this is the order of Lord County Cheng himself, Lord Ye He committed a case with Tongtian." No one is allowed to meet, and I am just doing errands, and I dare not disobey the orders of the county lord. ”
Luo Zhu said unhappily: "Come on." It's okay to talk to others, but say that to me? In prison, you cover the sky with one hand, as long as you want to do it, what can't you do? You just quietly lead us in, as long as you don't say I don't say it, how can Xu Xiancheng know? ”
Gao Xiaoliu shook his head repeatedly. said: "If people don't know, unless they don't do anything, the younger brother still has to rely on this food to support the family." Xu Xiancheng said that who dares to privately connive with others to meet with Ye Dianshi and be punished as a co-defendant, it is really unbearable. ”
Sister Sun often goes to the county office to deliver soup to Ye Xiaotian. I don't know how many people in the county government have a crush on this beautiful and delicious little girl from the Miao family. This Luo Zhukuai is one of them, so he specially accompanied her to the prison today, thinking that with his own face, he could let her go in to meet Ye Xiaotian, but who wanted to be turned away, and his face turned black at the moment.
Luo Zhukuai said ashamedly to Sister Sun: "Luo is incompetent, I'm sorry for you, Sister Sun, let's go." ”
Sister Sun remembered Hua Yunfei's instructions and couldn't break through. Just as he was about to leave with Luo Zhu, the tall Liu'er suddenly said, "Slow!" ”
Luo Zhu quickly turned around and stood still. Said coldly: "What? ”
Gao Xiaoliu'er looked at Sister Sun up and down, and said with a smile: "Sister Sun, right?" It's good-sounding, the name is good-looking, and the people are better-looking, who are you from Ye Dianshi? ”
Luo Zhu looked at it quickly, and said to Sister Sun with a cold face: "Let's go!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry."
Gao Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Sister Sun, although I can't let you in to see Ye Dianshi, and I don't know what Ye Dianshi has committed, but when Xu Xiancheng escorted Ye Dianshi to prison, he once said a few words to Ye Dianshi, and I was next to me at the time, and I only heard one sentence, but it is also the most important one, do you want to know." ”
Sister Sun's eyes lit up, ignoring his slightly lewd gaze, and asked urgently, "What words?" ”
At that time, Xu Boyi arrested Ye Xiaotian, personally escorted him to the prison, and locked Ye Xiaotian into a separate cell that was not adjacent to the other cells, and finally couldn't hold back the pride in his heart, retreated left and right, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Dianshi, for more than a year, the most prominent person in Huxian County is you, but people's luck will always run out one day, and now your luck has finally come to an end." ”
Ye Xiaotian was still confused about why he was arrested, but when he saw Xu Boyi's eyebrows fluttering, he had a faint feeling that this matter must have something to do with Xu Boyi. Ye Xiaotian calmed down and said calmly: "I was arrested and imprisoned, but I have a lot to do with you?" ”
Xu Boyi didn't answer, but he couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Ye Xiaotian sighed and muttered to himself: "Look at your virtue, it should be you who calculate me." ”
Xu Boyi's expression was grim and said: "Before I went to work, someone once said something to me, she said: 'In officialdom, there are only two kinds of people, one kind of person is stepped on, and if you don't want to be stepped on, you have to work hard to step on people. 'Do you really think that if you make me lose face on the rain altar, I will be soft and willing to be stepped on by you? ”
Xu Boyi took a step closer, remembering the humiliation he had suffered that day, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and roared in a trembling voice: "This time, you are dead!" ”
Gao Xiaoliu was standing in the cell at that time, although he had avoided it, Xu Boyi's roar was too loud, and he could still hear it clearly. However, he didn't hear Ye Xiaotian's next words. Ye Xiaotian was unmoved at that time, only exhaled lightly, gave Xu Boyi a long stroke, and said word by word: "Thank you for the teaching, I remember this sentence!" ”
Xu Boyi was stunned, the calmness and calmness revealed by Ye Xiaotian's words made him instinctively feel the danger, and his hairs stood up, but he immediately calmed down and sneered: "What do you remember, do you still have a chance?" Hahaha......"
Xu Boyi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly and walked out of the prison.
Sister Sun listened to Gao Xiaoliu's sentence "This time, you are dead!" She nodded to Gao Xiaoliu and said, "Thank you!" He turned around and left, wanting to rush back to the mountain to discuss countermeasures with Hua Yunfei.
But the tall little six called her again: "Sister Sun, I'm afraid that Ye Dianshi will be in a catastrophe this time." Listening to Xu Xiancheng's tone, it is inevitable that he will lose his life and raid his home in the future. You are so young and beautiful, why should you live and die with the Ye family, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, no matter what your identity was in the Ye family before, I don't care. As long as you are willing to ......, I will marry you, so that you can escape. Rely on it for life! ”
Luo Zhuai was furious when he heard this, although he also liked Sister Sun and had a crush on him, but he was only secretly admiring, how dare he reveal half of his affection. Now that Ye Dianshi has just been imprisoned, what charges are not clear, so some people are worried about his woman?
Luo Zhukuai's face turned pale. Rolling up his sleeves and rushing forward, he cursed: "Gao Xiaoliu, are you a fucking individual or a livestock with human skins on your head." Lao Tzu must teach you a good lesson today! ”
"What do you do, what do you want to do?" Gao Xiaoliu'er is thin and small, but he can't compare to Luo Zhutou's big man, if Luo Zhutou really wants to beat him. He's no match. Frightened, he retreated again and again.
"Brother Luo, forget it!" Sister Sun grabbed Luo Zhutou, although she was petite and exquisite, it was impossible to pull Luo Zhutou, but the little hand only gently pulled Luo Zhutou's sleeve, and Luo Zhutou stood obediently, very tame and obedient.
Sister Sun rolled her eyes and looked at Gao Xiaoliu'er. said with a smile: "Thank you Little Sixth Brother for reminding me, if the Ye family is really in trouble." People will take your word for it. ”
She pursed her petal-like beautiful lips, took out an embroidered purse from her belt, handed it to Gao Xiaoliu, and said: "Little Sixth Brother told people such an important news, and they have nothing to thank, there is a purse here, which was embroidered by the people themselves, and it is a gift to Little Sixth Brother." ”
What does it mean for the daughter's family to give their purse to a man? Gao Xiaoliu was overjoyed, his body was a little lighter, he took the purse, and smelled the faint aroma of the purse, if it weren't for Luo Zhutou standing next to him, he would have pounced on it, hugged the sun sister and kissed and gnawed.
"Brother Luo, let's go."
Sister Sun's eyes flowed, and she waved slightly towards Gao Xiaoliu, and then walked out. Luo Zhu saw that she actually gave Gao Xiaoliu a gift, and it was such a warm gift, but when she was really ready to fly separately when the disaster came, she was disdainful, and she was a little cold to Sister Sun.
……
Zhang Juzheng sat in the study, with a thick goose down cushion under his buttocks, carefully considered it for a long time, and wrote: "The province levies and distributes, and the business is invested in thick agriculture; …… Qingguan City, with good business and benefit farmers! ”
After writing the full text, he double-checked it again to make sure that there were no omissions or typos, and then gently closed the chapter and called: "Come, send it to the palace immediately!" ”
Since Zhang Juzheng came to power, the biggest reform for officials has been the examination of the law, and for the people, it is "a whip law" and "clearing the acres of fields". In fact, the "one whip law" and "clearing the acres of land" have not played a practical role in reducing the burden on the people, because the "one whip law" is actually a tax reform, which converts all kinds of taxes in kind into silver money for calculation.
And this is not Zhang Juzheng's invention, it has been implemented in some places before, because it is effective, he has been pushed to the whole country, which is much more convenient for the imperial court, but it has added trouble and burden to many people.
Although Qingzhang produced a lot of land that the landlords and gentry had secretly hidden, so that they had to pay taxes according to the regulations, they were soon able to come up with countermeasures to transfer this burden to the peasants and tenants, but for the imperial court, the tax revenue was greatly increased after all.
At this time, Taifu Temple has more than 4 million taels of silver, Taicang has more than 4 million taels of silver, the two total more than 8 million taels, Taicang's grain can also be used for ten years, it can be said that the treasury is full, it is Zhang Juzheng to ask for exemption from the arrears of money and grain in the provinces for more than 10 years since the first year of Longqing, but this is the real benefit of the people.
In addition, although Zhang Juzheng was born in Confucianism, after all, he was a famous minister who ruled the world, a famous minister, and was more pragmatic in his work, so he always disagreed with the "emphasis on agriculture and light business", and believed that both agriculture and commerce should be emphasized.
After this letter was written, he couldn't support it anymore. He suffered from hemorrhoids, which made him unable to walk, and he was in great pain when he sat for a long time. He stood up, twisted his waist slightly, and was about to go for a walk in the garden, when the old butler crept in, whispered a few words to him, and offered a gift list in both hands.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and smiled, calling Qi Jiguang's expression and said, "This Yuan Jing, but I don't know what I have collected for me." Unfolding the gift list, he only glanced at those rare treasures and splendid things, and didn't care, but when he saw the words "navel", his eyes lit up.
Zhang Juzheng is diligent in his work every day, and he is also old and sick, so that his appetite is also affected, and he still feels that it is difficult to eat a hundred dishes, and he can't find something that can make him appetizing and liking. But there is one hobby that is getting older and stronger, and that is beauty, and Shousuke-sama is the only one who never gets tired of it.
Over the years, the Meiji from all over the country has been flooded in the back house, there are no less than hundreds of people, and the first assistant is not too much, but after all, he is old, frail and sickly, and he is still able to deal with state affairs, but he is often "powerless" to appease the back house, and he has a soft spot for all kinds of sex drugs.
Qi Shuai gave him a blind "navel" last time, and the effect was very good after using it, he only mentioned it casually, and he didn't want Qi Shuai to keep it in his heart, so he sent him another altar this time. Zhang Shoufu nodded with a smile, swept his gaze down, and suddenly was happy again.
The following also mentions the gift of Mei Ji, and specifically mentions that this Mei Ji was not bought with money, but because of the change in her family, she was desperate, and she heard that she was serving the world's famous ministers, and she gladly agreed. This woman is knowledgeable and gentle, gentle and virtuous, and hopes that with her to serve the pillow and take care of daily life, Lord Shoufu can feel at ease about state affairs and benefit the people of Li.
Zhang Jiangling shook his head and smiled: "This Yuan Jing, ......, bring that woman here, and the old man will see you!" ”
:Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets!.
