Chapter 62: Repaying Grievances with Virtue
For some reason, the county master didn't seem to like Yu Liyuan very much.
When he said this, Yu Liyuan's expression was a little strange, the county master always asked Yu Liyuan to go behind the scenes to talk, and made a special trip to get a curtain for him to block his upper body, so that he could only speak.
"Why?" Shen Xingyue was also a little puzzled, but listening to what Yu Liyuan said, she seemed to have an answer vaguely in her heart.
Yu Liyuan shook his head: "How do I know what he thinks, but this county master is a little unreliable in handling cases, and he does things by mood, if I wasn't here, I would have to handle a lot of unjust cases." ”
"Then did you say that this county master also bought it?" Shen Xingyue had a whim and asked Yu Liyuan.
Yu Liyuan's expression was shocked, and he looked at Shen Xingyue.
When he heard Shen Xingyue say this, he felt more and more that it was possible.
Officials such as the county magistrate are directly designated by the above, and they are all ranked in the imperial examination to be able to be such officials.
But when he went today, he saw that this county magistrate didn't look like he had read a book at all, and the judgment was arbitrary, and he still felt unhappy when he reminded him a few more words.
Seeing that Yu Liyuan's face was not quite right, Shen Xingyue felt that he would not really be so godly, so he said it directly.
"Then I'll ask again tomorrow? If you can, buy you a county master to play with, so that you can make your own decisions? Shen Xingyue said what she thought.
She didn't think there was anything to spend money on this, anyway, when the house was finally raided, the money would still go back to her.
Yu Liyuan was also a little crying and laughing: "There's no need, I spent money to buy the position, and he didn't dare to do anything to me." ”
"Okay then." Shen Xingyue sighed and agreed.
Unexpectedly, before Shen Xingyue could go to find Lao Wang, Lao Wang took the initiative to find the door, saying that if he gave 1,000 taels, he would be able to make Yu Liyuan the county master here, and the original county master would be demoted.
"Why is it being degraded?" Shen Xingyue blinked, she had just finished talking to Yu Liyuan about this question before, and Yu Liyuan still said that she didn't want to, and now Lao Wang came over.
She once felt that she was lucky enough to be able to meet good things at any time.
Lao Wang also sighed: "Mrs. is a cheerful person, I don't hide it from Mrs., the position of the county master is also sold by us, but that person doesn't know a single word, and if it goes on like this, it will be exposed, but we see that the master is very smart, and it is also fair, you look at it and give a thousand taels, this position is yours." ”
"But I only gave five hundred taels, and we don't have much left at home...... After giving a thousand taels, there will be no money to support the family......" Shen Xingyue's face was a little bitter.
In fact, she is rich, but she is just pretending to be here with Lao Wang.
When Lao Wang heard this, he also persuaded Shen Xingyue: "Madame doesn't want the master to be controlled by others, right?" As long as the lord is made the county master, the entire county is the lord's, and I am afraid that there will be no silver at that time? ”
"You mean......" Shen Xingyue looked at Lao Wang in surprise.
Lao Wang also showed a mysterious smile at Shen Xingyue.
On the third day of moving over, Yu Liyuan became the county master, and he was sent by the imperial court, and when he saw that the current county master was too mediocre, and he was an official position bought, he took him down, and he also took the token of the Qin Cha to become the county master.
If Yu Liyuan didn't know his identity, he would have believed it.
Lao Wang's arrangement was seamless, and even the vegetable stall owner didn't expect Yu Liyuan to have such an identity.
Thinking that they were so arrogant as soon as they came, the vegetable stall owner was also a little embarrassed.
The happiest thing is the extra money, he hasn't been in that small courtyard for long, but he can also take his previous group of friends back to the county master's mansion, and serve the county master.
And he looked at the current old man Yu Xuanang, not at all like the county master who was messing around before, and he also felt that Yu Liyuan could stay in this position longer, and then he would have an iron rice bowl.
Shen Xingyue didn't expect it to be so convenient, and the people below didn't question it, as if they were all used to it.
Yu Liyuan's face became more and more serious day by day, except for the time when he was busy in front, the rest of the time was with Su Feng, and Shen Xingyue had a lot less time to meet him.
Finally one day, a rare smile appeared on Yu Liyuan's face, and Shen Xingyue's heart also settled down.
"It's settled?" She asked Yu Liyuan.
Without him, it is really these days, Yu Liyuan is too tense, and as soon as he relaxes suddenly, Shen Xingyue guessed some reasons.
Yu Liyuan nodded: "I asked Su Feng to lead the people to arrest all their gangs, including the county commanders of the five nearby counties, and some other official positions. ”
This area is managed by the Shen family, so these people are taken away, and they are all sent to the big city in the Jiangnan region, and the Shen family is also in Nanzhao City, and Yu Liyuan and Shen Xingyue will also go over.
"Then no one will do it here for the county master?" Shen Xingyue has been a county magistrate here for a few days, and she feels that this day is quite comfortable, but she will be comfortable for a few days, and she will leave again.
"I have already arranged people, and after the results of this matter came out, there were people who came to take up posts, all of whom were promoted in the imperial examination, and they were also willing to do things for the people." Yu Liyuan talked to Shen Xingyue about the follow-up, and didn't explain anything in the mansion, so he left with Shen Xingyue.
Of course, they didn't leave empty-handed, and they also took away all the silver coins that they secretly hid in the county lord's mansion, which were all evidence when they arrived in Nanzhao City.
Nanzhao City is not far from here, only three days away.
This time, Yu Liyuan didn't hide himself anymore, and directly revealed his identity.
Shen Wuyan, the city lord of Nanzhao City, was waiting outside the city early, and when he saw Yu Liyuan's carriage, he hurriedly greeted Yu Liyuan and entered.
This has been going on for too long, and it's time to settle the bill.
These people were committed by gangs, and there were hundreds of people involved in the case, and the silver money obtained from buying and selling officials was even more than one million taels.
After obtaining official positions, they wantonly oppressed the people, and according to the laws of the Southern Dynasty, they were all beheaded.
And the reason why they can be so free here is mainly because there are people in the court, and the person who is their backstage in the court is Xu Zhizhou.
Hearing this name, Shen Xingyue was also silent for a moment.
So Xu Zhizhou was thinking about how to trip up his cheap father a long time ago.
The most obvious examples of repaying grievances with virtue are Xu Zhizhou and Shen Xiang.
When this case was reported back to the capital, it caused an uproar, and the Xu family was beheaded all over the house, and the people caught in Nanzhao City were executed on the same day.
