Chapter 252: Entering the Mansion
On the ground in front of the door was a man kneeling, naked in a shirt and carrying a thorn on his back, hanging his head and saying nothing.
The Great Governor's Mansion is located in the east of the city, where the rich and powerful gather, and the crowd is not as frequent as the three streets and nine lanes.
Zhou Shilin ran out and saw such a scene.
A girl carrying a basket with vegetables and meat in the basket was pointing to the half-kneeling man and said, "Isn't this the rich man from Jinling, surnamed Qiao?" How did you get here? ”
The girl's voice is not small, and such a shout made a few people who were still confused look at her, an insider.
"Ouch, you know everything!" Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the girl waved her hand disdainfully, "This rich man gave 3,000 gold to the people of the Hewen Pavilion, and asked someone to compose poems, but the second one refused to accept the first, and the two of them talked about what happened, and they were both lying at home!" ”
It's noisy! Qiao Zhengyuan hung his head and said in his heart. If it weren't for her face, he really wanted to push this girl named Hongdou aside, and she kept talking about her mouth.
But he couldn't catch up, after all, she had told him about it a long time ago, and he agreed to it.
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he silently recited it in his heart a few times, Qiao Zhengyuan couldn't help but secretly scolded, "Quend her head", and lost face.
Even if she is kind enough to pick the least, isn't there someone watching?
It's noisy! Zhou Shilin also thought the same way, seeing the girl with a mouth and a horn that soon made everyone around her know about her dress, she looked like a maid who went out to buy vegetables in this Vermilion Bird Fang.
He didn't give face to a maid, but he didn't know where she belonged to, so he didn't dare to drive people away at will. After all, where did he get so much effort to pay attention to what those maids looked like.
But thanks to this noisy maid, he completely understood who was the one who took the initiative to come to the door to ask for the guilt.
Isn't this the "three thousand gold"?
All right! I was going to give him some colors to see, but now he ran to the door by himself.
Zhou Shilin's face sank, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw several men with black hats standing outside the crowd, squinting and looking here.
Zhou Shilin's eyelids jumped: Not good! Why did the little official of the Imperial Observatory come here?
There are only five imperial historians in the imperial history platform who are staring at the every move of the central government, but the officials in Chang'an City can't be counted. The group of people who love to have nothing to do with the imperial history take turns to play on weekdays, and now they are participating in the fight between the two princes here, and the prince is suspected of poor supervision, and he is punished and punished; Ming'er will participate in which horse has a woman and princess outside, caught rape or something, smashed the people's things, and was fined. Of course, there are big things, but they are all these little things.
The result of these things was either a ban or a fine, and every year the Imperial Observatory cut a lot of expenses for the state treasury on officials.
And the source of these trivial things is these little officials raised by Yushitai.
In terms of official position, he is only the lowest rank of the ninth grade official, but he hangs in front of the official's mansion all day long, just staring at which one has something to do.
As an important place for officials from the DPRK and China, Suzaku Fang is also a key place for these officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory to inspect.
This "three thousand gold" originally picked a time when there were not many people, so as not to make a big fuss, but although there are not many people now, there is no shortage of important Yushitai officials, and they are stretching their necks and waiting to see!
Phew! Zhou Shilin secretly scolded: Bacheng didn't long after seeing him to get His Majesty's reward, so he stared at him, and he didn't know if it was a good thing done by those civil officials or Yu Shitai wanted to reduce expenses for the treasury again.
Now that it has passed the eyes of the little officials of the Imperial Historical Tower...... Zhou Shilin took a deep breath, stepped forward and helped up the naked man in front of him, who was really unattractive.
"It's no wonder that you're doing this," Zhou Shilin looked at the man in front of him who was a little panicked with an expressionless face, glanced at the little official of the Yushitai who was watching from the side, and continued to speak, "It was the two children who had an accident when they got into a fight, and so did you, how can you be naked this day?" Come with me into the house, get a piece of clothing and put it on! ”
What's wrong with being naked on a hot day?
Qiao Zhengyuan couldn't help but shake when he heard Zhou Shilin's words, and a girl seemed to appear in front of him.
"Master Qiao, don't worry about doing this, I have already arranged the red beans, and I will let people lead those little officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory to the Great Governor's Mansion. In front of people, Zhou Shilin will not do anything to you, and will let you out of the house safely, but this does not mean that he is really kind to you and doesn't care about this matter. The girl was pacing in front of her eyes with her hands behind her back, her eyes bright.
"Now is a good time, the military attache is rewarded, the Chinese official of the court is quite dissatisfied, and Zhou Shilin, as the great governor, has taken a big lead. At such times, he will not fall into his mouth, and he will not let Yu Shitai catch his handle, otherwise he will be bitten by civil officials. ”
"But after all, a person in a high position, your three thousand gold hurt his nephew, how could he bear this breath? Even if I don't trouble you for a while, when the limelight is over, I can kill you if I find any trouble. ”
"If you want him not to trouble you, you have to go into the house with him, and what I did before is so that you can enter the house, talk to him, and make him willing to listen to you. If it weren't for a good time like now, he wouldn't have listened to you. No way, people are ants, and it's not easy to make people listen to you. ”
"And you have to seize this opportunity, give him that letter, and then tell him that the person is now locked up in Dali Temple, and if the Great Governor needs it, you are willing to go to court."
Zhou Shilin said "don't blame him", but that expressionless expression still betrayed Zhou Shilin's true emotions, and Qiao Zhengyuan knew that she was right again.
"Your Excellency." Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Shilin grabbed his hand, Qiao Zhengyuan grabbed Zhou Shilin with his backhand.
Zhou Shilin's face changed slightly, and he noticed that something seemed to be stuffed into his sleeve.
"Feng Jincai asked someone to do tricks behind his back, Zhou Gongzi is not wrong, the person who was asked to do tricks and feet is now locked up in Dali Temple, if the adults are in need, the small ones are willing to go to court." Seeing that the man in front of him finished speaking with a suppressed voice, he raised his voice again, "Thank you, sir!" ”
Several of the officials of the Imperial Observatory looked at each other, as if they didn't understand.
Zhou Shilin suddenly said: It turned out that this "three thousand gold" was deliberately said to the officials of the Yushitai.
This time, I thought that he deliberately chose the least number of people to come to his mansion to take the blame, and I was afraid of causing trouble for him. Originally, I had doubted that the little official of the Yushitai came by such a coincidence, but now the sentence "three thousand gold" can prove that this person has nothing to do with those people in the Yushitai. Most of them are still the hands and feet of those civil officials or imperial historians behind their backs.
Considering everything in this way, although he is just a rich man from a foreign country, it is not without merit, not to mention, his sincere heart can be regarded as unquestionable.
There are many people who want to talk to him Zhou Shilin, but there are not many people who stand on his side without thinking about it between the king of Wu'an and him, especially if he is just a foreigner.
Zhou Shilin felt a little happy in his heart, thought about it, mumbled, turned around and said, "Come with me" and walked in.
In the past few days, for the sake of the Wu'an County Palace, he has nowhere to send a fire in his stomach, and now someone has come to the door with such a thing, but he has helped him.
How can the people of his old Zhou family be wronged and just forget it? Especially this grievance is still from the palace of Wu'an County.
Although it's just a small thing with a big sesame seed, who says that a small thing can't be a big thing?
