Without waiting for Xue Ji to send a notice to deal with the little concubine, those idle women who love to chew the root of their tongues have reached a consensus, and they shouted outside the yamen to soak the woman in the pig cage.

Xue Ji asked Wang Qu to drive people away, but he couldn't come hard, and it was also bitter for Wang Qu, he said outside the door that it was good to appease and suppress, and after half an hour, there were a few more people outside who didn't leave.

Wang Qu had no choice but to go back to the house to report to Xue Jiyu.

When Xue Ji heard about the situation outside, he couldn't help frowning, he never thought that this kind of backhouse battle that was common in large families could provoke public anger in Qianzhou.

In desperation, Xue Ji still compromised.

"It's their folk ethos...... Just do as they say."

Xue Ji was relieved, and the women outside gradually stopped, and they all went back to work with baskets and pockets.

Just in time for General Tang to gallop from a distance, he just returned to the city where he thought that there were so many people crowded in front of the yamen, and he almost didn't stop his horse and hit people.

"General, slow down!"

Wang Qu hurriedly stepped forward to take the reins, and General Tang dismounted, looking at the crowd around him, unconsciously suspicious.

"What's going on? Why are there so many women?"

Wang Qu pushed open the heavy gate and led the way, while explaining to him: "The general doesn't know, how do you know that the county was sent to the capital to be executed, and his concubine who murdered his wife's heir has not been dealt with. No, they will make trouble with the prefect's yamen......

Having said that, he happened to be in the study, Xue Jizheng was writing with a pen, and when he saw the person who came, he quickly put down the pen and covered the letter in front of him. Looking up again, I was slightly relieved.

"Lord Xue."

General Tang hugged his fists and bowed, Xue Ji waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and looked at Wang Qu again, Wang Qu understood, and went down to serve tea to the two.

Xue Ji only fiddled with the lid with the teacup, not in a hurry to drink it, looked up at General Tang, and asked him what he meant.

General Tang didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "My lord, the West Mountain and the deep canal you asked about before have been found."

"Oh?" Xue Ji suddenly came to his senses: "Where is it? Can someone be sent to investigate? Are there any traces of bandits?"

General Tang's face showed joy, and the answer was already obvious: "This Xishan is Xiyun Mountain twenty miles west of Qianzhou, and the deep canal is a rift valley in an unnamed group of mountains ten miles south of Xiyun Mountain.

"Good, good." After Xue Ji heard this, he knocked on the abacus in his heart, since King Ning suppressed the bandits when he was there, he has successively exterminated several mountain bandit camps of all sizes over the years, and now there are not many mountain bandits left, and there are ...... With the garrisons of Qianzhou and Shu County, there is nothing to fear.

So Xue Ji slapped it with a palm, and it landed on the table with a muffled sound, which was a decision. "General Tang, immediately rectify and transfer troops, exterminate the remaining mountain bandits, and leave no one behind!"

General Tang stood up and clenched his fists and shouted, "Yes." Just as he was about to get up and leave, Xue Ji stopped him as if he remembered something.

"You wait a while, the owner of the Red Tiger Village has a concubine named Quicksand, you have someone to save her and send her back to me. Don't hurt her life!"

As soon as General Tang left, Xue Ji let go of a matter in his heart, turned back the letter that he had just hidden, and continued to write the words.

At night, Wang Qu hurriedly came in, as if he was in a hurry to report, but when he saw in front of the people, Xue Ji was still worried about the letter, so he swallowed the words first, and lightly added some sandalwood to the incense burner, and then cautiously said a tentative: "Master?"

Xue Ji smelled the sandalwood and was indeed quiet, and looked up at the person: "What's the matter?"

Wang Qu owed a debt and said, "Master, how do you know the concubine room in the county...... Dead."

"Hmm." Xue Ji didn't care much, but he was strange in his heart, just such a trivial matter, why was he in a hurry when he came in?

Wang Qu hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "

Master, Mrs. He just committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam at home, and her dowry maid found out and went in to save her, and the doctor just passed by at this time."

Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, and the pen that had just been stained with ink in his hand accidentally shook off, and the ink fell on the half-written letter.

Since it was abolished, Xue Ji was no longer entangled, so he simply put down the pen and dealt with the matter in front of him first.

It is not easy to say that this Mrs. He is not easy, she married a husband who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and met a restless concubine who was still a femme fat, and the surname He did not give a cent to the wife of the fat and the people, and hid it from her until now, now it is okay, he was convicted and escorted to the capital, and the family's wealth has long been confiscated, poor Mrs. He is lonely, no wonder she is looking for death and life.

"What about people now? Have you been saved?"

"I should have been rescued, but I heard that Mrs. He was still looking forward to death, and she smashed all the porcelain in the house, and she wanted to cut her wrists and wipe her neck."

This is a difficulty, it is not difficult to save a person's life, but it is difficult to save a life of a person who is dying.

"How many taels of silver did you leave for Mrs. He when you raided the house?"

Wang Qu calculated in his heart before he said, "I should have left two hundred taels of silver."

That's a lot...... Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, put it in an ordinary person's house, these two hundred taels of silver are enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing, why can't she live?

Wang Qu could somehow guess what Xue Ji was thinking, so he said, "The servant heard that Mrs. He went back to her mother's house, and she deducted most of the two hundred taels of silver for her brother, and her brother also wanted to give her to Yang Zhizhou of Shu County as a concubine."

Xue Ji was a little surprised, and finally understood the reason. Although Zhizhou is older than the magistrate of the county, and Shu County is richer than Qianzhou, she is also a wife and a housewife, so who can accept letting her be a concubine?

But in the end, this is someone's family, Xue Ji sympathizes with her, and can't ask her brother how to do it......

"Wang Qu, you will send another two hundred taels of silver to Mrs. He in private tomorrow, let her hide some of them, and don't let her brother know."

"Yes."

Before Wang Qu retreated, he saw Xue Ji take a new piece of letterhead, lift the brush on the shelf and write it from scratch. Then he was puzzled, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Master, whose letter is this for?"

Xue Ji didn't speak, and pouted at a pile of official letters on the side.

Wang Qu understood, picked up the top letter, and was stunned when he only looked at the four words "Qingzhi Qinqi" outside, this is ...... This is the handwriting of the old man Xue Yao!

"From Gangneung?"

"Hmm."

Wang Qu took out the letter paper inside, read it carefully word by word, and the more he looked back, the more he couldn't help frowning.

Xue Yao rarely sent a letter to his youngest son, the front was quite ordinary, and he greeted his own children and grandchildren, but it was helpless to go to the back.

It's not a big deal, it's the Chen family's Dumiao Young Master Chen Shao High School.

At that time, Xue Ji was a seventeen-year-old middle lifter, and at the age of nineteen, the title of the gold list became Genghe's nineteen-year-old Enke Tanhualang. Now, Chen Shao is too similar to him, even better than him, seventeen-year-old middle lift, eighteen-year-old gold list title, although not as good as Xue Ji originally ranked first, but it is also a good ranking of the second first.

Wang Qu is also an old man in the Xue Mansion, he has seen Chen Shao a few times, and he was deeply impressed by the young master of the Chen family, who was already bitter and mean at a young age, and couldn't help but sneer when he saw this: "Young Master Chen is high school, what does it mean to send a letter to his master so far?"

Xue Ji still didn't speak, what did he mean that it was written on the letter.

Wang Qu put down the first page and looked at the second page. This time it is clear that the Chen family originally had a Chen Yu who was famous in the court, but they all knew that Chen Yu looked down on Shui Ying'er and Chen Shao's mother and son the most, so now it was okay to focus on Xue Ji.

Although Xue Ji is now downtrodden to Qianzhou, everyone outside knows that his relationship with King Ning is extraordinary, and he still wears a dagger given by King Ning, so he naturally looks up to him. The Chen family is no exception, and they are eyeing Xue Ji with such a half-star relationship, and they want to ask him to send a letter to King Ning, begging King Ning to draw a line and let Chen Shao make an exception to enter the Hanlin Academy with the same candidate.

This makes Xue Ji embarrassed, and

Not to mention that he doesn't have much affection for Chen Shao in his selfish heart, let's just say that King Ning is already too busy to take care of himself in this embarrassing situation, where can he reward him for thin noodles to help such an unknown person?

It's hard to reply. Of course, Xue Ji can't take over this troublesome matter, but if he tells the truth...... He has fallen to Qianzhou, and the king of Ning on his head still has no power and no power to take care of himself, and he will be sent to Jiangling, and it will not take ten days and a half months, and Shui Ying'er will be able to help him inform the ladies and girls of the city within one day.

Wang Qu also knew Xue Ji's difficulties, hesitated for a long time, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Master, why don't you just say that you have sent a letter to King Ning, and it doesn't matter if the prince doesn't agree to you."

Xue Ji frowned, and the Ming people knew that it was impossible for King Ning to accept letters from outsiders at this time......

Forget it, how much is a way, Chen Shao has just joined the company, where can he get access to these things?

Then he put pen to paper, coped with it in a few words, and then stuffed the letter paper into the envelope, dripped wax and oil to seal it, and motioned to Wang Qu to let people send it out.

Geng and the autumn of the twenty-eighth year

Xue Ji coped with his father's letter so-so, and Chen Shao naturally didn't get help, but I have to say that he was lucky, just in time for the resurgence of the situation in Beijing, and when the situation in the six departments was changing with each passing day, he was arranged into the criminal department without doing anything. Compared to the Ministry of Rites and Works, which may not be able to get around for a lifetime, this is a good place.

If you want to talk about the wind and rain in Beijing, it must be inseparable from the word seizing the heir. King Ning was banned, and naturally the courtiers thought that King Ning had completely lost power, and King An was going to make a comeback, and those walls went to the side as soon as the wind blew.

In the six departments, the original Anwang Party was controlled by most of the people of King Ning, but today it has changed again, and these people have been purged again.
