Chapter 4: Returning to the People on a Snowy Night (4)
In the morning, Duan Xiuji and his entourage went to the city gate to supervise the arrest of thieves, and the harvest was also quite rich, and after a while, four or five Jiangyang thieves who had been wandering for a long time were arrested. Their errand is paid according to the head, four or five is quite a lot of money, and in order to leave the three or two heads of money, it is not worth it to freeze at the gate of the city with the guards for a day.
Duan Xiuji also thought so, so he waved his hand and said that today was over, and in order to show his leniency, he said that he would invite them to eat and drink.
The boss spoke, who would say no? What's more, you don't have to pay for it, on this cold day, it doesn't hurt to drink some wine to warm up your body, and then take the opportunity to pat yourself on the back, if you shoot well, you will have a good errand next.
The group went to the Moon Tower.
After three cups of yellow soup, they were all a little fluctuating. Duan Xiuji is also from a famous family, and his great-grandfather was still the champion in the Hongwu period, although his generation has gradually declined, so that if he wants to seek a promotion, he can only serve the East Factory, but the tutor is still there after all, what Liu Jin has done recently, he wants to say that he is not a little dissatisfied in his heart, it is his own deception. At this time, I was a little confused after drinking, and another group of people held it, and it was inevitable that the words in my heart would be revealed.
After all, if I am drunk, it must be a little ugly to say, what kind of gelding dog thief and the like, I may have to brag about the saint and the ignorance of people, if I am in the court, it will definitely not be like this, etc.
In fact, they are all drunken words, and in today's government, who doesn't want to sigh when they see it. Duan Xiuji has already entered the East Factory, and he definitely doesn't have any determination to be a minister, so he complained a few words by getting drunk, how to be an errand or how to be an errand for the East Factory - but there were people present.
Yu Feng, who has always seemed to be a bully, went to tell the secret before the banquet was over.
The factory was accompanied by the saint to feast, and when he came out and heard his subordinates come to report this, he immediately dropped the jade cup in his hand.
It seems that this is indeed a tricky task.
Yang Hanxing and Wang Qing squeezed into the courtyard from the half-hidden gate, and first saw a group of people kneeling in the dark, and Yang Hanxing quickly knelt down against the side.
In front of them are the dozen or so fans and stalls that went with Duan Xiuji today, all of them were tied up and kneeling, drenched all over, and it seemed that they had been helped to sober up. In front of him was Duan Xiuji, who was also drenched, and he didn't look up, not knowing what he was thinking. A father-in-law sitting on a chair at the front, it was Su Ming, taking a sip of tea, and glancing at them kneeling, his eyes were heavy, and Qianhu Xu Pan was standing next to him, his face was also calm.
Su Ming spit out the tea leaves he drank into his mouth back into the cup, and asked Xu Pan next to him with a sharp voice: "But it's all here?" ”
Xu Pan bent down: "Father-in-law Su, it's all here." ”
"I don't want to sit in the yamen on weekdays," Su Ming still sits, and he didn't stand up when he spoke, but he deliberately glanced at Yang Hanxing when he said this, "It's okay to play women and gamble to make some money, as long as you are loyal to the saint-" He arched his hand towards the sky, "Have a loyal heart." ”
He slapped the table, and his already sharp voice raised a little: "Result! You saints are the dearest in their hearts! There are also rumors of criticism of the Holy Heavens! It really chills the heart of the saint! ”
Yang Hanxing noticed that he hadn't said the factory father, just the saint - of course, now these two words almost mean the same thing, but ......
Her heart sank a little, but there is still a difference between the two statements after all, although many people are now definitely willing to offend the saint rather than offend Liu Changgong, but the Daming law does not criticize Liu Jin's crime, but criticizes the saint, which is an ironclad heinous crime.
He directly wanted Duan Xiu to die.
Just because of two whining drunken words.
Yang Hanxing's head was lowered, but the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile, the power was monstrous, the power was monstrous.
It was not Yang Hanxing who understood what Su Ming meant by this, Duan Xiuji raised his head suddenly, the cold day, the soaked clothes, his lips were purple from the cold, and he was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid. He defended himself: "There is no rebuke to the Holy Lord! ”
"But there is a reproach to the saint!" The person in the seat coldly concluded, "Ignorant people? Chaos in the government? Didn't these words come from you? If it comes from your mouth, what else can you say? ”
Only then did Duan Xiuji understand that this was not to judge him, this was to judge him.
He looked around for help, hoping that someone would stand up and help him, and he was not too harsh on them on weekdays. No one came forward. He went to see Xu Pan again, the two of them came out of Jinyiwei together, and the relationship was okay, he was the only one among these people present who could talk to Su Ming, at least help him say a few words. But Xu Pan didn't even look at him. His eyes stopped at Yang Hanxing, he had the grace of knowing her, she should always stand up and intercede for him.
Yang Hanxing didn't look up, she knew that Duan Xiuji would definitely look at her, but she didn't look up.
From the moment he entered the East Factory, he should know what kind of place this is, no matter how harmonious he is on weekdays, he will eat people after all, Yang Hanxing thought indifferently, he was probably scared and confused.
It's come to this kind of time, Duan Xiuji is a little bit of a seed, and he should also stand up and scold the gelding dog for misleading the country, which can at least make him look like a hero who has gone the wrong way and is at the end of his rope.
But he didn't want to die.
So he slammed his head on the ground, and tears and snot poured out together: "Father-in-law Mingjian! The minions are not disloyal to the factory! Factory Gongmingjian! The minions are just drunk and talking nonsense for a while! The minion knows that he is wrong! ”
Su Ming's shriveled lips pulled out a smile and looked at Duan Xiuji, who was kneeling and begging him. He is not young, and he doesn't have a lot, but he can be regarded as having survived, Duan Xiuji is still very young and lacks nothing, but he can't survive it.
Such a scene made him happy, and he was fluttering: "Drink and spit out the truth." ”
Duan Xiuji was sentenced in one sentence, and he stretched out his hand to greet the little yellow door behind him: "The Holy Lord's edict, Duan Xiuji, one hundred households in Dongchang, although his deeds are unforgivable, after all, he has been loyal to the country and given a glass of wine." ”
Xiao Huangmen walked up to Duan Xiuji with a plate.
On the plate was a glass of wine.
"This is Holy Compassion and gives you dignity."
Duan Xiuji didn't know what it was, but he refused to drink it, he knelt down and moved to Su Ming's side: "Father-in-law, the slave knows that he is wrong!" The minion knows that he is wrong! Ask the father-in-law to keep the slave a dog's life, and the slave will make a cow and a horse for the father-in-law......"
Before he could take two steps, Xu Fan waved his hand, and two people came up, dragging him directly to the west wing, and Xiao Huangmen followed behind with wine.
The backs of many people present who had been tense did not relax as Duan Xiuji's shouts gradually faded away, this is Duan Xiuji's sin alone, it is true, but above the court, there has always been no reason to stop one's own body, and he is not a generous person, and he is not allowed to be liquidated by his cronies or anything.
Sure enough, Su Ming's gaze fell on the bodies of the few who were tied up in front of him: "A few of you, although you didn't speak at the time, but you didn't stop such disrespectful words and deeds to the factory lord and the saint, it can be seen that your heart is also different!" ”
A group of people trembled, and one after another "slaves knew their sins".
However, Su Ming didn't seem to have the idea of making a desperate attempt, and waved his hand: "Drag it down and hit twenty sticks, and have a longer memory." ”
It's okay to have no worries about life, and they didn't even say a demote or anything like that, so the hearts of a group of people finally let go, and they didn't need to be dragged by anyone, they rushed to get the sentence, and the attitude of admitting mistakes was not inactive.
The next thing is to reward meritorious deeds, Su Ming stretched out his hand and pointed: "Hu Boyuan leads a hundred households, Yu Feng has meritorious service and promotion." ”
Yang Hanxing caught a glimpse of Yu Feng's smug smile in his spare eyes.
"Remember your duty, such a scenery that everyone respects wherever you go! Who gave it to you! Remember! Su Ming's original intention was just to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, at this time the chicken was dead, and the matter was over, with a wave of his hand, "Disperse." ”
No one dared to move for a while, it was Hu Boyuan who stood up first, and the others stood up one after another, slowly moving towards the gate, and once they moved out, they began to run fast.
Yang Hanxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Yang Hanxing."
However, as soon as he stood up, he heard a shrill voice calling her name, and Su Ming asked the newly appointed hundred-handed Hu Boyuan beside him: "Is it called Yang Hanxing?" ”
Hu Boyuan looked proud of the spring breeze: "Back to my father-in-law, yes." ”
"Humble Yang Hanxing," his leg really hurt, but Yang Hanxing didn't hesitate at all, and knelt down again with a puff, "I've seen Gonggong Su, and Gonggong Lao is concerned." ”
Su Ming didn't let her get up: "I heard that Duan Xiuji treats you quite kindly? ”
Duan Xiuji treated her well, and the entire Yamen knew about it, if she concealed it, it would seem that she had a ghost in her heart.
Yang Hanxing kowtowed: "Back to my father-in-law, the humble position was indeed promoted by Duan Xiuji." The humble always remembered the kindness of the factory duke who didn't care about the identity of the lowly woman, and made an exception to let Duan Xiuji summon the lowly to come in. ”
"It's understand," Su Ming was quite satisfied with what he said, "The factory is lenient, our family is not a wicked person who abuses his prestige, since you are not in the Moon Tower today, it is enough to do things for the factory in the future, I heard that you are doing things well." ”
"Dedication to the factory and the public," Yang Hanxing expressed his loyalty, "It is the duty of humility." ”
"It's good if you know, but you don't have to follow Wu Quan in the future," Yu Feng didn't leave, and behind Hu Boyuan, Su Ming signaled to him, "Follow Yu Feng." ”
Whoever follows is not following, not to mention that this is like giving her an unspeakable occasion? Yang Hanxing knocked his head down again: "All the humble duties obey the orders of my father-in-law." ”
"One more thing," Su Ming smiled, "University Scholar's Mansion, are you staring?" ”
"Yes," Yang Hanxing didn't quite understand why he was asking this at this time, but he still replied very cautiously, "I just went yesterday, and I'm going to go later today." ”
"But what's the problem?" Duan Xiuji asked this question.
But Yang Hanxing understood that what Su Ming wanted was definitely not the answer she gave Duan Xiuji, but she had always collected money to do things......
Yang Hanxing was a little entangled.
"Humble and stupid, I didn't find any problems," Yang Hanxing looked at Su Ming's wrinkled face with a smile, and added, "It's just that I am a little puzzled why there is a passage in the Later Han Book when Scholar Yang read the Book of the Later Han last night." ”
Su Ming's eyebrows raised: "Which paragraph?" ”
Being alive is the most important thing, Yang Hanxing made up his mind.
"Say yes, pro-virtuous minister, far villain."
