(319) It is too late to regret

"You bastard boy" Zhao Chengcai really couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and slapped his younger brother, "You don't look down on others, people still don't look down on you"

"Chengcai, what are you doing here? Why did you move your brother for no reason? Zhao Wang was annoyed and protected his youngest son.

"Mother, just protect him, protect me hard, see if you can protect me for a lifetime" Zhao Chengcai was really angry, flicked his sleeves, and was too lazy to say a word, and left

This...... What's going on? Zhao Wang's fire is big. I didn't bother to pay attention to my youngest son, so I went back to the room angrily.

Zhao Laoshi frowned, stomped his feet and muttered, "It's a good thing, how did you get it like this?" ”

Zhao Chengdong was slapped in the face, his face was gloomy, and he also entered the house in a gloomy manner.

Only Liu Fang peeked at the family through the crack in the window, very proud.

When Zhang Qingting came back from the racecourse today, he saw Zhao Chengcai's unkind face, "What's wrong?" How do you get angry like this? Could it be that Xue Zi'an let it go again? ”

What's the matter with him? How can Zhao Chengcai be in the mood to take care of other people's affairs? In front of the closest lady, he threw away the book and began to complain about today's events, "Such a good family, how difficult is it to come to our house?" But my mother is good, from the moment people enter the door, they start to show off what is wrong with our family? How capable can Chengdong be? If it weren't for the lady, you worked hard to earn some family business, what would they choose? I'm so."

Zhang Qingting understood what was going on, and smiled coldly, "If you want me to say, this is also your own doing, and you don't know your mother's temper, if you follow me, you will decide and let them do it, you don't listen to this, right?" ”

"Why are you like that? People are feeling uncomfortable, you don't persuade them, but you come to add to the blockage."

"Hmph, it's better for me to block at this time than for you to hit your head outside and come back to me to be angry" Zhang Qingting was straightforward and fast, and added fuel to the fire, "I'm afraid this matter will soon spread, and then your 'smart and motivated' second brother will probably be even more difficult to please his daughter-in-law."

Although Zhang Qingting's words are not popular, they are the truth. The Ding family is considered virtuous, and when they go back, they only say that their family has a shallow foundation and can't climb high, but the matchmaker has been present, and then Zhao Chengdong will say goodbye, and others will always ask what happened. A few days later, the news spread, and the good girls from all over the country were unwilling to marry Zhao Chengdong.

First, Zhao Wang's family is quite notorious in the countryside, and I am afraid that this mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law too harshly, after all, few women have the ability to kill pig girls. Second, Zhao Chengdong's concubines are about to give birth, and when they enter the door, they will rob each other with others, but all parents with some conscience are unwilling to marry their daughters. Even if some people are willing to get married, and the lion asks for a bride price, or asks directly, how much can the horse farm share? How much can the alley be divided? It's like a deal.

Zhao Wang's family really began to be anxious, and the marriage of this youngest son was delayed again.

Now that there is such a trouble, Zhao Chengcai is first disheartened, "I don't care about Chengdong's marriage anymore, if she makes trouble with her mother by herself, if she drags it out like this, when the Liu family gives birth to a child, we will also divide the family, and this kind of thing is not without precedent, but it is just to make people scold a few words, anyway, I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

"I have to take a note of this, you are not allowed to deny it in the future," Zhang Qingting said with a smile and pulled him up from the stool, "You are so angry, you can't read the book, you are going to eat soon, but go down and chat with your younger brothers and sisters to relieve boredom, I heard that your academy is going to hold a conference today, go and listen to what Yuanbao and they say, that kid should really take a hard beating."

After discussing the matter of the Spring Palace books flowing into the academy, several masters in the academy decided to seriously investigate and deal with it, and resolutely put an end to this unhealthy trend, but considering that the children are still young and are also deceived by traitors, it is not specific to each student, but before the end of school, all the students were convened for a general meeting.

At the meeting, the whole story of the incident was reported, and those who misreported and misread the previous things will no longer be investigated, and those who still have these things in their hands will quickly throw them into their own firewood stoves, and if they find that someone is privately circulating such indecent books, they will all be treated as withdrawn from school and will not be tolerated

The children were all frightened, and outside the specially open door, the parents who came to pick up their children were also very angry when they heard it, and someone immediately asked, "What kind of thing is missing eight lifetimes of virtue to show us this kind of thing?" ”

Li Hongwen made a special trip to ask Meng Zizhan, and at this time he boldly said, "It is the Xue family that opened the Silver Hook Gambling House, but fellow villagers, please rest assured, once our academy found out such a thing, it immediately went to the government, and last night the county lord personally led the people to arrest all the criminals, this time Lord Meng was determined to investigate the affairs of the Xue family to the end, if the villagers have grievances, you can go to the yamen to complain, if you are still a little worried, let your own children write it down, Throw the paper at the gate of the yamen, and it will not affect you in the slightest."

This news really made the entire Zalanburg blow up, it turned out that Xue Zi'an was really lacking in virtue and a little bold, so now I went to the front of the Silver Hook Gambling House to take a look, and sure enough, the door was closed, and the seal of the government was pasted. And the once prestigious Xue family's mansion was also seized. But because there are too many of their families, they can't live in prison, except for Xue Zi'an and his wife and some stewards, the rest of the family servants are all claustrophobic here, guarded and patrolled by the government.

The people will be skeptical, and they will have different opinions. Some say that the Xue family will definitely be unlucky this time, and some say that the Xue family still has the backer He family, even if the county master wants to handle this case, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

But there is a most practical problem in front of the Xue family, the whole people of Zalanbao hate them for harming their children, as if they had received the same order, for the Xue family's servants who came out to buy under the supervision of the officials, none of them were willing to sell anything to them.

I don't say that I don't sell it, but when I see them coming from afar, I put away the stall and put it out when they are gone, what can I do?

So, when the children of the Xue family led the nurse to visit Xue Zi'an in prison, he didn't open his mouth yet, and the children cried first, "There is no fish, no meat, and even vegetables have to be eaten, and every day is white rice and steamed buns, I don't want to eat that you and your mother go home quickly, we have to eat good things"

The nurse also cried, "Master, what can I do about this?" The food stock in the house is almost gone, if no one sells anything to us, will everyone in the house wait to starve to death? ”

"Is it because the government won't buy it?" Xue Zi'an hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.

"It's not that no one is willing to sell to us at all, even for double the money, no one will sell"

Xue Zi'an felt cold in his heart when he heard this, could it be that he was so angry and resentful in Zalanbao?

The nurse packed a few clothes for him and sent them over, "Master, you take care of yourself, these steamed buns are left for you, we have to go over there to see Mrs."

When they left, Xue Zi'an looked at the two steamed buns in his hand that had been mixed with coarse grains, and he had never eaten in his life, and for the first time in his life, he felt that his life seemed to be wrong.

If he could know the outcome of this case, Xue Zi'an would definitely regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have provoked Zhang Qingting at all. But what made him regret even more was that he was born in the Xue family.

Meng Zizhan handled the case very patiently, and after collecting a lot of evidence in the early stage, he asked Qingsong to personally send him back to the capital quickly, and his father secretly played the Son of Heaven. When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and specially secretly appointed the officials and the criminal department to supervise it. First, they were detained without trial, and they waited for the Xue He family to look for familiar officials to jump out and excuse themselves.

Some well-informed people felt that things were strange, and chose to protect themselves and escape the catastrophe. Some people who don't know what to do, under the blindness of heavy profits, throw themselves into the net.

In the end, the case snowballed and got bigger and bigger, and in the end, not only the crimes of the Xue He family were all exposed, but more than 100 officials, large and small, were implicated. The beheaded, the deposed, the degraded, the exiled, the exiled, the officials of the whole area changed six or seven out of ten. It also opened the prelude to the rectification of the rule of officials after the young emperor His Majesty sat firmly in the dragon court.

A year later, Mr. and Mrs. Xue were finally convicted. Xue Zi'an was executed by Ling Chi, and the He family found out the truth because of the killing of the maid with a rod, and because she was a female dependent, she was given to commit suicide in prison.

Seeing that the government was in earnest, the common people jumped out one after another to complain about their grievances, and this case, together with the big and small cases implicated, lasted more than two years before it was settled one after another.

But in the hands of Mencius, it only lasted more than two months. When the almost ordinary characters jumped out, some things were no longer something that Mencius could handle with his current identity. At that time, Lord Qincha revealed his identity and took over temporarily, and he handed over the power to return to Beijing to resume his life.

Although this credit is great, it is not something that can be swallowed by one person. It is enough to let the emperor remember that the first credit is his Mencius Zhan.

That's all for later.

Now, it's back to the spring of March in Zaranburg. Spring comes late in the north, and the shallow grass can not pass the horse's hooves at this time, but the greenery everywhere is full of life.

Not long after Xue Zi'an was imprisoned, Mencius was still standing on his last shift here. The lives of the Zhao and Zhang families are calm but a little unpeaceful.

Zhang Qingting lightly lit the table with his fingers, frowned, and was speechless for a long time.

Fang Mingzhu finally couldn't hold it back, put down the things in his hand, Huo Di stood up, "Eldest sister, I'm going to ask Brother Ali no matter what, and see what the hell he's messing with."

"You sit down" Zhang Qingting glared at her, "What can you ask in such a hurry to ask with a white face?" ”()
