Chapter 42: The Secret of the Female Dependents
"The three prefects of Minning are in the golden twilight, and the Taige is full of wind, and it is indeed reported according to the truth, since the eighth year of Jiacheng, it has been built twice, and there have been more than eight minor repairs," Lu Yixuan nodded, and the old men around her were nervous, and she was leisurely, her fingertips stirred the clear water and wine in the jade cup beside her, "It's just, except for routine maintenance, is there really no other matter to upload the information, Lord Cao." She asked again.
The words were soft and soft like peach blossoms falling from the branches, but Cao Ji's forehead was cold sweat for some reason, and he quietly looked towards Liu Chang, but saw Lord Liu secretly shaking his head.
On the banks of Surabaya, the Minjiang River embankment, these are all old things, and the whispering elders haven't figured it out yet, but Liu Chang and Cheng You still remember it vividly, because at the end of the year, the little prince of Fengyang didn't pull three carts of fine wine to go to the sixth department, and forced the squire of the Ministry of Works to bear the guilt, and the old man vomited half to death in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there were more than one or two major and minor crimes that were vacated, this is one of them.
Not only are there people who embezzle projects, but there are also people who lie about the danger and delay people's livelihood-
"Lord Liu, don't just shake your head," Lu Yixuan saw the small movements of those two people, she was so pretty, but Liu Chang was also shocked to jump to her feet, the little girl smiled and pointed the fingertips dipped in wine on her lips, it was really delicious wine and food, "I have a total of six articles in the law of Da Yan, including the criminal regulations, if there are those who conceal and cover up disasters under the rule of hundreds of officials, what punishment should be imposed?" ”
The place where the disaster injury went was not played, and the senior citizens of the department were allowed to appeal by name, and the division was punished with death.
I am afraid that this law will suddenly run into everyone's minds, and Emperor Taizu revised the law of Dayan three times after opening up the territory, but this article is becoming more and more severe, but if there are officials who misreport and conceal the disasters in various places, there will be no forgiveness.
Three words are enough to make people's hearts drop.
If it weren't for the little prince's car of wine, who would be able to turn it over, Lu Yixuan's questioning was naturally only understood by the people involved, and the waiter of the Ministry of Works cried bitterly, talking about the embankment corruption case that year, and the lie about the disaster for several years, he was drunk and spit out the truth, but Cheng Youze heard it in the hall-
Of course, Cheng Dawei weighed the pros and cons and did not report all the crimes, there were many big and small crimes, first, things have changed, second, too much involvement, and third, it is difficult to find conclusive evidence.
Cheng Youze was originally dizzy after a few glasses of wine, but Lu Yixuan's meaningful questioning woke him up most of the time with a cold wind, almost subconsciously, Lord Cheng's suspicious eyes had already stared at Liu Chang viciously-
How could Lu Yixuan be so clear about the Surabaya dam in the past 20 years, and even knew that Lord Shilang ran to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to "spit out the truth", unless- unless it was someone under his command who went wrong and became a thief!
Liu Chang knew that he was suspected by his boss, but where did he dare to shout injustice, and he was aggrieved and aggrieved by his tail on the side.
However, at that time, there was more than one person who was drunk and spit out the truth, if Ren Zaifu knew about the dam case and knew that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was investigating the matter, the gains would outweigh the losses, and this time, the situation was reversed, but everyone was in danger in front of Lu Yixuan.
"Little girl, it's Ren's birthday today, don't make trouble." Cheng Youze's old eyes narrowed, warning and threatening, no, it should be said that there was a compromise in the end.
"Master Cheng laughed, I'm soft-spoken, how dare I." She is just a small Congliupin, how can she compare to the court dignitaries who are chattering in black and white in this courtyard, their faces are red and white, how funny, how funny.
Cheng You forcibly suppressed his anger, and the bustling crowd came over, but it was the old birthday star tonight, Ren Zaifu.
Ren Zaifu is an old fox who is used to officialdom, he never puts a face on his face when he smiles, when he doesn't smile, he is like an old scholar full of wealth, he smiles, and he looks like an amiable old man, he welcomed a few small county kings into the inner courtyard, why is the face of this litter of officials like choking on steamed buns, and there is still one Lu Yixuan, not happy or angry.
yes, I'm afraid it's going to be a quarrel.
Especially Cheng Youze, that Cheng is a prickly person, and his son-in-law was picked up by the Lu family, and he can't see the appearance of the Lu family wanting to climb up now.
Ren An didn't want this atmosphere to be stiff: "Wei Guogong has been in the same dynasty as this official for decades, and now it is a happy event to see his daughter Guangzong Yaozu, and the girls of the Lu family are not allowed to have eyebrows." He smiled, and the officials around him could only laugh dryly.
Of course, Lu Yixin will accept it when he sees it, look at the few people who are not smiling, and he can't wait to eat her alive, what about this old man, his words are good, but he may not be good-hearted, and you have to dismantle the affairs in the court and look at them separately.
"Ren Zaifu, I offended these adults, especially this Cheng Xiaoda," her eyes looked at her second brother, making Cheng Zhongqi's forehead bruise, "The little woman still went to ask the ladies for a cup of tea." She carried the hem of her skirt and did the etiquette pretendedly.
Ren An didn't stop it, the little girl was in the way of everyone's eyes when she was resting here, he secretly glared at the uninteresting officials around him, this was his Ren An's big birthday banquet, and he had to stir up the same situation as the court!
If it reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven, where will his old face go?
Everyone had to laugh and laugh, and they didn't dare to talk.
It is said that Ren Zaifu is meticulous in his actions, and even the maidservants in the house are carefully selected, all of them are Zhong Lingyuxiu, and they know what to do with just a little look, no, they are busy with two little maidservants who led Lu Yixuan to the group of female dependents under the glass lanterns on the side.
"Thank you." Lu gestured with his head bowed.
The women are splendid clothes, jewelry, and the families who can participate in the birthday are not to be underestimated, either the fate or the famous family, these flowery branches and eyebrows are showing off and showing off, none of them are easy to provoke.
Not to mention, Lu Yixuan was in the limelight in the school martial arts field that day, and many of them witnessed it with their own eyes, the little girl was wearing a jinghai cloth skirt, and her sleeves were half a day high and the young men were in a pot of porridge.
Tea and fruit points are readily available on the flower case, the ladies are laughing and scolding, happy and happy, there are eight-sided chess dice on the case, and the little jade is of different colors, and at a glance it is the favorite chess and card game of the princes and nobles who have nothing to do.
Liubo, Pupu, dominoes, holding lances, beauties light small fans, exquisite fingertips can also point to the country.
"Miss from the Duke of Wei's Mansion?" The woman in the northwest corner who stroked the hairpin flower was still about forty years old, looking at Lu Yixuan's eyes with pickiness, which looked like a young lady, it was clearly similar to her own maid, "I didn't expect that, ten years later, this Guogong Mansion can still turn up," she sneered, and the original grace and luxury became a little mean and sour, "Miss Lu, aren't you a female official from the sixth grade, you are wronged at the same table with us." ”
Lu Yixuan bowed his head and smiled: "The little woman is talented and incompetent, so she has to come here to drink tea and have fun." ”
The old woman was stunned and reacted, the wild girl was clearly ridiculing them for having no talent, no morality, and no success, and she was about to get up with her hands on the case.
"Mrs. Ying." The strange voice on the side was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, sweet and greasy, you don't need to look at it to know that it is a graceful little fox, that is Mrs. Xinfusi, with fragrant shoulders and lovely eyebrows, she saw that this Mrs. Ying, who had no one in her eyes, was very wrong with Lu Yixuan, and quietly signaled that everyone should leave a little bit of morality on this occasion.
Mrs. Ying, is a widow, the widow of Xin'an Hou Ying Guyi, when the old marquis died on the battlefield, the Son of Heaven thanked her for her merit, and specially named her as a first-class lady.
The old woman didn't have a good face, she snorted and didn't bother to look at the fox, a woman who climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix, relying on her young and quite beautiful appearance to win the favor of the master of Fusi, she looked down on this person who was a gentleman in her heart, what qualifications did a mere lady have to be on an equal footing with her, and at this time she actually taught her a lesson in a quiet manner.
The little ladies and maids who were waiting with them were busy talking and laughing to ease the atmosphere, and they saw that this small chess game was only halfway through, and the victory or defeat had not yet been decided.
The fox of the Fu Si family rolled her eyes, but she enthusiastically pulled Lu Yixuan: "Miss Lu, can you?" She pointed to a plate of loose sand on the case.
"I know a little bit about it."
"Okay," the pretty little fox blinked, and the rouge fragrance flew away, "Come on, come on, our Mrs. Ying was the first person in Qingliuyuan to gamble when she was not out of the cabinet, and I heard that it has been crowned for three consecutive years, so that all the ladies in Shengjing City are envious and admired." Although this woman is pretentious, she is not stingy when she praises people, and she pulls Lu Yi into a seat, obviously she is on the same page as Mrs. Na Ying.
