Chapter 474: Conflict
Sun Bian has been an official for many years, and everything is inevitably complicated, and when he heard Sun Ren say this, he immediately knew that this matter was tricky.
If you can be sure that it is Sun Ning's seed, it will be fine, and it is not in the filial piety period, so I took it back directly, raised the mother and son, and there was nothing to do.
But it's even more troublesome to be so uncertain if it's not.
If you admit that it is biased or not, it is really embarrassing for others to know that the tiles on the top of the Sun Mansion are verdant.
But if you don't admit it, whether it is or not, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Sun Bian has been a pro-people official, has entered Dali Temple, and it is not a problem to open a court to try the case, and he also knows the story of the criminal name.
The rich family, and when people die, there are a lot of people who come out to recognize their relatives one or two, as long as there are really traces of that shadow, and look for a few past credentials at will, someone is behind the force, and they unite with the officials and gangsters, and want to bite off a piece of fat from that family, it is not a difficult thing.
According to the old practice of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether it is an outer room or an illegitimate child, they can all share the property of their parents.
When Sun Bian was a magistrate in the past, he saw a well-known wealthy family in Linxian County, and after the death of the head of the family, he left behind a wife, a son and a daughter.
At the time of the funeral, a woman with a child in her arms ran out of the hall, took advantage of the chaos to walk to the coffin, knelt down to confess her relatives, and cried that the son in her arms was the illegitimate child of the deceased, and that she wanted to divide the family property.
In front of three relatives and five friends, and neighbors, the old wife immediately scolded that the woman and the child were liars, and wanted to drive her out.
The woman refused to leave, hugged her son and made a fuss in the court, seeing that she was about to be thrown out, but was hurriedly stopped by the son of the old wife, and actually recognized the child as a younger brother in the court, and promised to enter the house to raise him well, and come to him again in the future to divide the property.
Acting like this, people outside listened to it, and everyone praised him for his loyalty and morality, but Sun Bian listened to it and knew that this was shrewdness.
Sure enough, more than ten years later, Sun Bian inadvertently heard the old things of that family again, and realized that the deceased's "illegitimate son" had already grown up, and was divided into some fields by his brother, and had already left the house to mingle on his own.
And then the news slowly came out, that day in fact, many ruffians were waiting outside, once the woman and illegitimate child were kicked out, everyone would go to report to the official—they all knew that this family was really rich, and they had already bought off the officials in the state government's yamen, waiting to make this fortune!
Fortunately, the son was clever and knew that this matter was not good, and as soon as he entered the yamen, many times he would have nothing to do.
If you don't have half of your family property eaten by those officials, you have to thank God, even if you go bankrupt, it's not a strange thing.
In this case, it is better to give up some money to the "brother" who does not know the truth or falsehood.
With Sun Bian's official position, he naturally won't worry about going to the yamen, and there will be officials who dare to blackmail, but he has another worry - if someone impeaches himself with this matter, he will justify it clearly, and he will still be splashed with sewage, not to mention that this matter is still a puddle of muddy water, and he can't say it clearly.
It's troublesome not to admit yourself, but if you admit it, it is finally confirmed that this child is not surnamed Sun, but what is the family of Zhang Sanli Siwang and Ermazi next door, he is a dignified Zhu Zi minister, and he was actually teased by the wine lady outside, how can he save face? !
The more Sun Bian thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he only felt in a dilemma.
It's not going well in the court, and when I get home, there are still so many troubles.
***
Sun Bian already had a lot of things, and he encountered Chen Huiniang's bad heart, so naturally he couldn't keep an eye on the next person to inquire about the tiger hero who saved his father and sister that day, so he had to explain the idea of looking for people.
According to the news that Sun Bian learned, there were two teenagers, a little girl, and several dart masters. The dart master didn't care, just looked at the first two, it is said that the age was not very old at the time, and the little girl was only thirteen or fourteen.
Now five or six years have passed, and everyone is in their early twenties.
According to Sun Yunniang, except for one of the young men who came halfway like a person from the south, the rest of the men and women spoke without an accent.
In Sun Bian's opinion, at such an age, except for a few people, it is almost impossible to enter Jinmingchi on that day.
A few days ago, Jin Mingchi was only open to Beijing officials, and those who could rub in to enjoy the flowers and scenery were the family members or friends of Beijing officials.
The old man Sun Ning originally said that the man's surname was Gu, which was commensurate with the little girl's brother and sister.
But this time, Sun Yunniang said that the woman claimed to be surnamed Ji.
With such inconsistencies, Sun Bian didn't bother to ponder it, so he only asked his subordinates to inquire about which Beijing official surnamed Gu or Ji in the capital, and there are now about 20 children in the family.
Ji is a small surname, but Gu is a big surname. The subordinates inquired and found seven or eight qualified officials, but when they asked, the children of about 20 years old had not been out of the capital several years ago.
This time, it was stuck again.
Sun Bian didn't know, it was all his own ideas that went wrong.
Ji Qingling entered Jin Mingchi, not because she was the daughter of a Beijing official - although her father was also a Beijing official, he had already been martyred - purely because of her husband's identity that she could enter openly.
She and Gu Yanzhang are not brother and sister, they are actually husband and wife.
Sun Bian went to find them as the sons and daughters of an official, and it was a strange thing to find them!
***
Not to mention that the descendants of the Sun family returned in vain, on the other hand, Ji Qingling didn't know that someone was about to sweep the people surnamed Gu and Ji in the capital in order to find him and Gu Yanzhang.
She is currently having tea with Liu Muhe in Renhe Restaurant.
Liu Lin's birthday is imminent, if there is only Ji Qingling himself, it is enough to send a birthday post and add a few small things, but now that Gu Yanzhang's share is counted, he has to add some serious things.
The two of them made an appointment to go out to the shop, wanting to find something suitable for the Liu Lin family to celebrate.
After working for a long time, he finally ordered the things, Ji Qingling thought that the orange crab and shrimp mushroom soaked rice in Renhe Restaurant was very good, and now that it was just at the right time, he simply came out, and he was not annoyed, so he took Liu Muhe around the long way to eat at this house.
At the end of autumn, the crab paste is just right, and there is a special taste for making orange crabs.
The two arrived late and did not make a reservation, so they had no private room, so they had to find a secluded place to sit on the second floor, talking while waiting for the food to be served.
After a while, I saw a fellow carrying a few plates of snacks, such as dried lino, dried plantains, hazelnuts, quimbles, etc., and after a while, another man came with a plate of orange crabs.
The plate was just on the table, and Ji Qingling was already moving his index finger.
Orange crab is also known as crab stuffed orange, it is said that it was originally created by a man surnamed Lin in the south of the Yangtze River, it is to take "the big orange to cut the top, remove the grain, leave a little liquid, and use the crab paste meat to cover it, and still cover it with a pedicle branch." "From the outside, it looks like a yellow orange, and when I open the orange lid, the unique aroma of crab roe and autumn orange has come to my face.
Ji Qingling took the chopsticks and was about to taste the food, but he didn't want to hear a commotion in the box not far away, and then the door was kicked open, and I don't know who threw it out, and fell straight to the ground.
Someone scolded inside: "Shame on your face!" Where do the bed bugs come out! Our little master is also what you can see?! ”
