"Do you know the Liu Ji rice shop on Shuangnian Street?" Wang Shouren asked.

Zhang Meishou shook his head, but he was guessing in his heart.

She didn't know exactly where the accident was, but if what Wang Shouren said next could match, it should be what she wanted to inquire about.

"Yesterday afternoon, someone first went to Liu Ji to make trouble, saying that his family's rice had eaten and killed people...... The lion opened his mouth and asked for a thousand taels of silver before he would give up. ”

Zhang Meishou frowned.

The shopkeeper of Liu Ji Rice Shop insisted that there could be no problem with his own rice, and there were so many people who bought rice every day, so why did he have an accident alone? So not only did he refuse to pay the money, but he also dragged that group of people to the official mansion to reason. ”

"And then?"

"I went to the government, and the county ordered Liu to pay compensation to the shopkeeper - because the people of the county government found poison in the rice sold by Liu Ji's rice shop. If Shopkeeper Liu can't come up with 1,000 taels, he will be convicted of murdering other people's lives and imprisoned. ”

In the final analysis, is it to force people to break the wealth and eliminate disasters?

But if you open the door to do business, who would be stupid enough to poison the rice they sell? What are the benefits?

Wang Shouren obviously thought of a place with Zhang Meishou, sighed, and then said: "Shopkeeper Liu can only go back to raise money, but those people are not satisfied after getting the money, so they have to sell their youngest daughter one hundred taels to them, otherwise they will sue Shopkeeper Liu for murder." ”

took 1,000 taels from others, but asked for 100 taels to buy someone else's daughter......

When Zhang Meishou heard this, he had already expected Wang Shouren's next words.

"Shopkeeper Liu was unwilling, and probably expected that those people were originally coming for his little daughter, and asking for silver was just a disguise by the way—" Wang Shouren said this, and his voice was a little lower: "Early this morning, I heard that the little daughter of Shopkeeper Liu threw herself into a well at night." Those people didn't believe it at first, and they had to go to see the body, but Liu's shopkeeper's daughter-in-law was already mad. ”

Zhang Meishou listened, and his heart was a little blocked.

This incident should be the one that Mr. Liu experienced in the previous life.

Mr. Liu's official career in his previous life was not smooth, which is why.

According to Liu Yiqing's own words, when he first entered Beijing, he was penniless due to a change, so he worked as a temporary bookkeeper in a shop.

During this period, he met a wicked man who wanted to forcibly occupy the shopkeeper's daughter, and also smeared the reputation of the shopkeeper, after the shopkeeper's daughter was forced to die, Liu Yiqing was also hated by the wicked for helping the shopkeeper to reason and write a paper.

Liu Yiqing was falsely imprisoned because of this, and later it was his teacher who was far away in his hometown who wrote to Li Dongyang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites at the time, to ask him to come forward, so that Liu Yiqing was released from prison.

Liu Yiqing, who suffered from a whole year in prison, missed that Spring Festival and waited in Beijing for three years.

After winning the list in one fell swoop, he began to thoroughly investigate what happened back then, insisting on finding out the group of wicked people.

But who knew that this investigation was getting deeper and deeper, and finally found the head of the character he couldn't move at all.

Liu Yiqing, who had just entered the official career, was arrogant and insisted on playing this matter.

But this excerpt that openly impeached Ning Guifei's brother and the commander of the Jinyi Guard was destined to sink into the sea.

Liu Yiqing not only failed to expose Ning Tong's crimes, but was suppressed by the Ning family many times, and after two years of struggling in Beijing, he was relegated to the bitter cold land of the northwest for the crime of greedy ink.

When he was sent back to Beijing for reuse, it was already after Zhu Youzhang ascended the throne and the Ning family was punished.

Therefore, Zhang Meishou insisted on keeping Liu Yiqing to live in Zhang's house temporarily this time, in order to let him avoid this matter that would have a huge impact on him.

Efforts and grievances must be based on the premise of really making a difference.

If it's destined to not help, and it will cause trouble, then it really doesn't make much sense.

Today's Ning family is in full swing. Not to mention that Mr. Liu is just a person without any background at the moment, that is, he is a first-class member of the imperial court, and it is difficult to shake him even if he faces the enemy head-on.

"Zhenzhen, I guess this group of people must have been premeditated." Wang Shouren said with a straight face: "You should never go out alone on weekdays, be careful." ”

It seems to be a prosperous and stable capital, but there is an undercurrent surging in the dark, and it is never peaceful.

Zhang Meishou nodded and agreed.

clearly helped Mr. Liu solve a great trouble, but she couldn't relax in her heart.

She knows that she has little power now, many things can't be intervened at all, injustices happen every day in the world, and no one can do it perfectly.

But there was a breath hidden in her small body, which made her feel depressed.

There are many things that you don't know, and once you know, it's not easy to completely ignore them.

In such a state of mind, Zhang Meishou suddenly thought of a person-

"Brother Bo'an, why didn't you go to the palace to accompany you today?" She seemed to change the subject.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only has to read and practice calligraphy, but also spends half of his time every month practicing riding and archery. I'm just a literary companion, so I don't have to go along. ”

Wang Shouren's disapproving answer made Zhang Meishou stunned.

Zhu Youzhu has been practicing martial arts and riding and archery since she was a child, she heard it right?

If you don't eat books, you are willing to waste your time riding and shooting?

It's even more surprising than hearing that an old sow can climb a tree!

"Even if I enter the palace every day, I only accompany His Highness to read in the morning." Wang Shouren added another sentence, but he didn't directly say that the rest of the time was spent playing together.

The more Zhang Meishou listened, the more incredible he felt, and he couldn't help but confirm his previous guess a little more.

"What is the temperament of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Do you feel sorry for you? Zhang Meishou asked sideways.

Wang Shouren shook his head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a gentle temperament, never embarrasses people, and can be called approachable." Speaking of this, Wang Shouren felt that it didn't seem right, so he added: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves cleanliness very much, and cleans his hands dozens of times a day...... The tea bowls and other materials used must be scalded with boiling water again and again before they are used. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shouren suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Last time, a Hanlin came to talk about the history of reading the scriptures, because his beard was messy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the inner supervisor to immediately find a razor, and asked Hanlin to clean his beard before continuing to read - you don't know how funny Hanlin's face was at that time." ”

His Royal Highness the Partial Crown Prince said it seriously, but there was a bit of obscurity in his eyes.

When Zhang Meishou heard this, he didn't think it was so strange.

This is something that Zhu Youzhu can do, yes.

He is not deliberately critical, but seems to be a kind of ...... that cannot be suppressed from the bottom of his heart Mannerism?

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

Wang Shouren suddenly remembered something, and took out a slender small brocade box from his sleeve.

"What is this?" Zhang Meishou asked curiously.

"This is rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you see-" Wang Shouren said as he opened the brocade box.
