Chapter 15 is covered in copper stench

Deng Quansheng coughed heavily, and the words in the room stopped. Only then did he slowly pick up the door curtain and walk in, bowing to Zhong Shi and saying, "Humble to see Fa Cao." ”

Zhong Shirong glanced at him, the anger on his face gradually subsided, and nodded: "You came just in time, teach me a good lesson for this rebel!" ”

Deng Quansheng snorted, glanced at Zhong Wenbo who was standing next to him, and said with a smile: "I have also heard about this matter, Wenbo, Ling Zun is right, poetry exchange, don't care too much." If you lose this game, you may not be able to get it back in the next game. Now you behave a little more generously, which is worthy of your name as the first genius in Yizhou. ”

Zhong Wenbo looked up at him and was about to speak, but he saw that he kept squeezing his eyes, he knew this Deng Quansheng very well, and knew that he was defending his father's face, not that he was telling the truth, so he sighed and did not refute.

Zhong Shirong listened to his son's persuasion to listen to Deng Quansheng, and his anger dissipated a little, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's talk, you can go out!" ”

Zhong Wenbo turned around and walked out. Deng Quansheng glanced at Zhong Shirong and said, "I'll go and persuade him a few more words." After that, he chased him out and whispered to Zhong Wenbo: "Don't worry, I will definitely get you back with your face!" ”

Zhong Wenbo stood stunned and looked back at him, a little puzzled.

Deng Quansheng smiled a little proudly and said, "You just wait to see the excitement, I will definitely make the surname Xiao look good." Feel relieved! ”

"You're not going to find someone to hit him, are you?"

"We are Sven people, how can we do such vulgar things! He bumped into my palm himself. I'll tell you more about that later. ”

"Hmmm! Thank you, County Lieutenant. ”

"Thank you, we don't talk to each other as a family!" Deng Quansheng patted him on the shoulder, yin**: "To bully you is to bully me!" Even if you endure this breath, I can't bear it! ”

Zhong Wenbo nodded and walked away stupidly.

Deng Quansheng returned to the study, and when he saw that Zhong Shirong was still gloomy, he smiled and said, "Child, I haven't experienced much, and slowly he will understand." ”

Zhong Shirong sighed and said, "I'm annoyed that he can't withstand a small setback, what will I do in the future?" I still expect him to enter the official career, how can he treat people in his career with such a character? What do you think of other people's faces? Alas! What a disappointment for me! ”

"Persuade slowly, it will get better. Actually, I know this matter, and I can't blame Wenbo for being so angry, the scholar surnamed Xiao is too flamboyant, and he even picked up the word "five cars of poetry and eight buckets of talents" in front of the Jade Building, and boasted that he could become a poem in seven steps, and today he will trample the Yizhou literati under his feet. Wenbo was so arrogant and angry when he saw him, so he came forward. I don't know where he copied the crooked poems from, and he didn't beat Wenbo in the first place, it was Wenbo who let him, but he climbed along the pole, not to say that Wenbo lost, but also forced Wenbo to drill the gutter! If it weren't for the scholars present who coaxed, he would really force Wenbo to drill the gutter! You say that this surname Xiao is not too much? It's no wonder Wenbo is angry. ”

Zhong Shirong didn't know the truth about Lu Dao at that time, so he didn't know that Lu Dao Deng Quansheng was completely reversing black and white. Hearing this, I couldn't help but slowly frown, snorted, and said, "What is the origin of this surname Xiao?" So arrogant? ”

"I heard that it seems to be the distant nephew of a vegetable farmer named Xiao Laohan in the city, who grows and sells vegetables. Businessmen and the like, what good people can be! Sneaky, sinister and cunning! ”

"Hmmm......"

"Fa Cao rest assured, we in Yizhou can't tolerate such a person's publicity, this matter will be dealt with."

Zhong Shirong shook his head and waved his hand, "No! Zhong Wenbo Doushi lost to him, this is what many people know, and the whole city is talking about this matter, if you dispose of him, no matter what the reason is, people will immediately know that Lu Dao was done by us, and it will not be good. He is a poor scholar, studying poetry and writing, arrogant and arrogant, and speaking a little ugly, so he doesn't have to care too much. Readers, but if there are some talents to learn, how many are not arrogant? This kind of thing, it's good to have a big belly, so you don't want to be troublesome! lest anyone gossip about me. ”

Deng Quansheng sneered: "What Fa Cao said is true. Humble and short-sighted, ashamed. ”

Zhong Shirong said slowly: "The case of the Zhao family that I told you last time will be remanded for retrial immediately, and you have to deal with it." ”

"Fa Cao rest assured, the humble job will be done seamlessly!"

"That's good! - Alas, you are right just now, businessmen and the like, stealing and playing tricks, this kind of person is really boring. But the large amount of money in his hand is still interesting, and if it weren't for this, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to these bad things. ”

"Yes, yes, this kid is full of copper stench and vulgar, so he will make trouble for Facao. If it weren't for the two money, who would care about him! ”

After gossiping for a while, Deng Quansheng got up to say goodbye, left the Zhong family, and returned to his house.

After changing into civilian clothes and having dinner, Deng Quansheng was laughing with the concubine he had just accepted into the door, and the servant came to report that a guest had visited and sent a greeting post.

Deng Quansheng opened it and saw that it was a letter from Du Dayin, the scribe of his old subordinate in the torture room. This old boy, who visited before, never sent any greetings, what's wrong with him now? Could it be something else?

Deng Quansheng instructed the flower room to please, and after laughing with his concubine a few words, he walked out and arrived at the guest flower room.

When he entered the room, he saw Du Dayin and a young scholar sitting upright on two couches, with two large and small brocade boxes on several cases. When they saw him come in, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Deng Quansheng knew that the two brocade boxes must be gifts, there were too many people who came to his house to give gifts, and he was already numb, it seemed that this was for what kind of case and something like that he found his trust. At the moment, he smiled and said to Du Dayin: "Old man Du, how is it?" After leaving the yamen, I see that you can live a more nourishing life than before! ”

Du Dayin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, this is all the blessing of the county lieutenant of Tuodeng County." Seeing Deng Quansheng sitting cross-legged on the couch, he was very comfortable with his arm on the table, so he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, and I brought a little brother to visit today, which is abrupt." ——This little brother's name is Xiao Jiading, a native of Jiulong County. I have admired the name of the county lieutenant for a long time, so I came with the old man to visit the adult. ”

Xiao Jiading?

Deng Quansheng's triangular eyes, which had become a slit when he was smiling, suddenly opened and became two little mung beans. He looked Xiao Jiading up and down, and said, "Yesterday, I heard that a foreign scholar who met friends with poetry in front of the Jade Building is also named Xiao Jiading, could it be Your Excellency?" ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It was the late birth, the arrogant act of the late life, which made the county lieutenant laugh." ”

"It's really you, it's really good!" Deng Quansheng high-fived, he really applauded in his heart, he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and it didn't take any effort to get it! "After the official heard about this, he has been thinking about what kind of suave scholar this is, and when I saw it today, he was really extraordinary and talented."

"The county lieutenant has won the award."

"It's not that the award was won, but your poem was also read by the official,—— 'I don't know where the new song sounded last night, and it was still around the painting beam.'" And 'But he may make his master drunk, and he will not know where it is.' 'It's all good poems, especially the few sentences written about Wang Zhaojun,' as soon as I went to the Zitai Lianshuo Desert, I left the green mound alone to dusk. It's really a stroke of genius, and it makes people not only cry when they look at it. Good! What a poem! ”

"A few limericks, to be appreciated by the county lieutenant, is really a blessing for a later life."

They were laughing, but Du Dayin had beads of sweat on his forehead, as soon as he heard Deng Quansheng mention this matter, he regretted it in his heart, how could he forget about it? This Deng Quansheng was pulled by Zhong Wenbo's father, Zhong Shirong, he didn't expect this stubble, today's things, I'm afraid of being yellow!

Xiao Jiading didn't know the inside story at all, and opened the two boxes on the case with a smile, revealing the consistent money and the warm jade pendant inside. said: "This is a little bit of a late life, and I also ask the county lieutenant to laugh." ”

Deng Quansheng's eyes looked at the jade pendant, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and even the emaciated Adam's apple was grunting, as if he was swallowing saliva. At first glance, he is a greedy guy! Xiao Jiading smiled secretly in his heart, this matter should not be a big problem.

This is also a coincidence, Xiao Jiading took Zhong Wenbo's jade pendant to bribe Deng Quansheng, but unfortunately Deng Quansheng didn't pay attention to Zhong Wenbo's accessories, and he didn't know that this thing belonged to Zhong Wenbo.

Deng Quansheng reluctantly retracted his gaze, looked at Xiao Jiading and said, "Is there something wrong with the little brother giving such a huge profit to this official?" ”

"No, it's just a little bit of a visit to the county lieutenant. In his later years, he studied the law hard since he was a child, and he always had an ambition to be able to judge right and wrong and uphold justice, so he wanted to join the yamen and find an errand in the torture room. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that Xiao Jiading actually proposed to go to his subordinates in the yamen to be on an errand, Deng Quansheng immediately laughed, his eyes rolled a few times, and Cao Zhong Shirong, the official of the government, had already said not to touch him, and it would not work if he did it clearly, so he could only think of a trick to get him in first and find a chance to clean him up.

Deng Quansheng slapped his hands and smiled: "That's great! Xiao Gongzi is so talented, he can go to the yamen to do things, and the hero has a place to play. Ha lu haha. We are very welcome! However, if you want to go to the torture room to do business, then you need to understand the criminal law, and the official will test you on the spot, how about it? ”

"It's good, please ask the county lieutenant to ask the question."

"Well...... Deng Quansheng stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said, "What are the five punishments for our Datang Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Jiading smiled in his heart, this question is too simple, he doesn't need to answer it as a graduate student of legal history, he is an undergraduate student of the Department of Law, and he knows the Tao after studying the general history of the legal system, but of course he will not be stupid to show that he is very capable, and after thinking for a while, he arched his hand and said: "It seems that it should be - flogging, rod, apprenticeship, streaming, and death." ”

"Not bad!" Deng Quansheng nodded with satisfaction, thought for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "How many are each category?" ”
