Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Old People

Although Chen Danzhu was very curious about Zhang Yao's letter to the Liu family, he did not lose his sense of proportion, and he did not dare to act rashly, lest Zhang Yao be affected a little bit.

She didn't go to Liu's shopkeeper to inquire again, and studied medicine, medicine, and medical treatment in Taohuaguan safely, striving to earn a lot of money and earn a doctor's reputation before Zhang Yao arrived.

Then Zhang Yao will come to her to see a doctor as a matter of course, and then leave him behind, let him go to the country with dignity, go to the Guozijian with peace of mind, study without worries, be an official, and write the book on water control-

The warm winter sun shines in the small Taoist temple, and Yan'er, who bakes medicine with charcoal fire, looks at Chen Danzhu under the corridor from time to time.

"What's the good thing lately?" She asked Ah Tian in a low voice, "Miss laughs from time to time when she reads." ”

Ah Tian guessed, Miss must be thinking about that old man, as long as she has been to the Rejuvenation Hall, Miss will come back like this, of course, this matter must be kept secret, she also smiled: "There is nothing bad now, this is the best thing for us." ”

That's the same, Yan'er also smiled, the two spoke in a low voice, and Cui'er looked a little uneasy from the bottom of the mountain.

"Big news, big news!" She shouted.

Today is her to send free medicine, and then help in the tea shed, people can always hear all kinds of news, as Wu Capital has become the imperial capital, the news of Tiannan and Haibei has come, and there is even news from the distant Qi country, I heard a few days ago that the king of Qi is sick and is about to die-

But usually after coming back at night, I will tell what I heard, why did Cui'er run back at noon? Now the tea shed business is very good, and the old women who sell tea are not allowed to be lazy.

"What's the big news?" Ah Tian asked.

"At the foot of the mountain, there are Wu people who disobey Your Majesty and are raided." Cui'er said in a low voice.

King Wu was not disobedient to His Majesty and was killed, how could the people be, Ah Tian and Yan'er were very puzzled, and Chen Danzhu, who was reading the book, also looked at it.

She asked, "What kind of disobedience?" ”

Cui'er said: "Most people are very happy about Wu Du changing his name, but there are also many people who are unwilling, and then there are people who whisper in private, say some bad things about this matter, insult the emperor, and scold His Majesty for not being worthy of changing Wu Du's name——"

In this way, Daxia is all the emperor's, and Wudu, as the territory of Daxia, scolds the emperor for not being worthy of changing his name, which is really disobedient.

......

......

Li Junshou is still serving as a county guard, responsible for civil security in the capital, he doesn't dare to expect to be Jing Zhaoyi in the future, and he is very satisfied if he can serve in Sanfu.

Today's county guard is busier, of course, the imperial court has also equipped Li County guard with more officials, he doesn't have to deal with everything personally, except for a few, such as disobedient, which must be personally inquired about.

Li Junshou looked at the group of people who were pressed under the hall, took a few pieces of paper handed by the messenger, and looked at the poems and songs written on them.

"Gongzi Cao, you said that you didn't say anything insulting to Your Majesty." He asked coldly, "Then how do you explain these poems and songs?" It's all in your handwriting! ”

The young man standing in the hall, his face was whiter than powder, and there was still drunken madness in his eyes, he could insist that he hadn't said those words before, but these words—

"I haven't written—" he shouted, but was visibly lacking in confidence, "I've drunk too much, and a lot of people are chanting—"

Hearing him say this, some of the other young people shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't chant this!" "It's you chanting yourself, we can't stop it, you still have to write it down!" "It's all you who are arrogant, implicating us!" "You were arrogant earlier, and I advised you."

The young man's voice was instantly drowned out, and his expression became even more flustered, he had been a little arrogant before, but which young man didn't? Why is it that he is now a big rebel?

At this time, an official messenger came in and said to Li Junshou: "The Cao family has been copied and inspected, and no more arrogant text evidence has been found for the time being." ”

Before Li Junshou finished speaking, a subordinate officer standing next to him with slender eyebrows said slowly: "Then search slowly and ask slowly." ”

His gaze swept across the hall.

Seeing his gaze sweep, the people gathered in the hall immediately retreated, and only the young man and an old man were left here.

The official's cold gaze fell on the old man.

"Master Cao's family has a large population, so just ask them one by one."

Two lines of tears flowed down the old man's rich and noble face, and he knelt down tremblingly: "My lord, I am old and pampered, and I have no way to teach my son, and I have caused today's trouble, and the old man is willing to bow down and confess his guilt, and hope to spare his family." ”

The flustered young man probably saw his father kneeling for the first time, and he was immediately frightened, and he knelt down: "Father, we, I am the Cao family, and I am the Cao family of Wu County for a hundred years——"

Although the Cao clan of Wujun is only a third-class scholar, it has also been in the capital of Wu for a hundred years and is quite prestigious.

Wu County is gone, what about the century-old Wang clan? The old man glanced at his son, a hundred years of wealth and prosperity have passed too peacefully, suddenly changed, he didn't even have the opportunity to teach his son, His Majesty initially set the imperial capital, all parties were ready to move, but they Cao fell into the trap and became the first chicken to be slaughtered - just to save the lives of the Cao clan.

Li Junshou was silent, and the official next to him glanced at him and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is an opportunity, you can't be kind to a woman." ”

Of course, Li Junshou understood, but - another official from outside rushed over, this time leading a eunuch.

"Li Junshou, did you deliver an invitation to Your Majesty?" The eunuch asked, looking a little impatient.

Li Junshou hurriedly stepped forward to salute and responded: "The stakes are very high, and I have to disturb Your Majesty." He looked at the official on the side, and the official held up a few pieces of paper in his hand and signaled—

The old man who was kneeling on the ground turned pale when he saw this action, and it was over-

Li Junshou retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes to the eunuch and said, "-Also, the evidence has been obtained by the lower official, please report it to Your Majesty." ”

The eunuch didn't care at all, and he didn't look at the paper that the official held up: "Your Majesty said that you know, isn't it that this family is dissatisfied with the fact that Wu has become the imperial capital and misses King Wu?" A little thing, don't make a big deal - let them leave and go to Zhou to find King Zhou. ”

In this way, it is just an expulsion, and it will not be copied by the family, Li Junshou was overjoyed and hurriedly responded, and the old man who was kneeling on the ground was also like taking off a layer of skin, weak and fell down: "Thank you Your Majesty for your forgiveness, Your Majesty Shengming." ”

.....

.....

The eunuch left quickly, and he didn't even look at the people kneeling on the ground, and he didn't care which one dared to offend the emperor, and the most famous family of the original Wu State was nothing more than ants in the eyes of the emperor.

The eunuch left, Li Junshou and the others were still busy, but one of the subordinate officials of the county guard was idle, sitting in a room with a few poems and songs in his hand, as if he was appreciating.

Wen Gongzi lifted the thick curtain and walked in.

"It's a pity." The subordinate official said to him, "These poems were submitted, which could have killed them and copied their homes, but Old Man Cao has saved a lot of good things in his life." ”

If you expel it, you can't forcibly search and seize it, you can only watch the old man take the treasure away.

Wen Gongzi didn't care about this, frowned and asked, "Then Cao's real estate still has to spend money to buy?" ”

The Cao family was evicted and left, and the family property had to be sold.

The subordinate officer smiled: "Why is Childe so timid now?" Although they were spared the crime of raiding their homes and exterminating their families, they were also sinners when they were expelled, a sinner, and it was just a matter of letting them take away their gold and silver property, and the real estate and fields, of course, were confiscated! ”

Wen Gongzi nodded with satisfaction, and gave a name card to the subordinate officials: "The matter is done, the banquet of the Geng family's housewarming to the new house, please be sure to attend." ””

The Huayin Geng clan is a first-class wang clan, much larger than the Cao clan, a third-class scholar clan in Wu County.

The official sat up straight, took the post with both hands, and said with a smile: "Later, I will have someone send the deed to the son." ”

Wen Gongzi nodded, turned around and left, walked out of this narrow yamen, he wiped his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, alas, if King Wu and his father were still there, how could he, the dignified son of the Wen family, personally set foot in this place to meet this little official.

Aggrieved.

.....

.....

People come and go in the city, and there are new faces every day, and the departure of old faces is not so cared for.

In front of a house with white walls and gray tiles occupying half of the alley, people are constantly coming in and out, heavy cages are pulled on the cart, and there are several domestic servants at the door who are cleaning the door plaque with a ladder, and an old plaque of the Cao family has been removed and a new door plaque has been hung.

The people passing by looked at each other and left, without talking or daring to stay longer, except for a carriage.

Chen Danzhu lifted the curtain of the car and looked: "This is the house of the Cao family who was driven away, the house is really good." ”

Zhulin looked nervous next to the car and asked, "Miss Danzhu, what do you want?" ”
