Chapter 222: Regret
Du Xuanmo revealed his identity, and then took Shen Shimei to live in the post house, and it was not safe to stay outside. Shen Pomegranate's stall continued to be open, and every day I could see a cart pulling pots and pans out of the post house, and those who didn't know it thought it was from the back kitchen of the post house.
"Sister, are you really an official wife?" Sister-in-law Wang has been a little cramped since she knew Shen Shimei's identity, and she didn't dare to come over to speak, but Shen Shiliu often leaned over to speak, which made Sister-in-law Wang also feel nervous, and her facial expression was not very natural.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "Yes, my father-in-law is an official." ”
"Then your man is so capable, why do you still have to set up this little stall?" Sister-in-law Wang also felt strange, such an identity is just happy at home, why bother to come out in the wind and sun?
Shen Shiliu smiled and said: "He is so capable and he is capable, what I like to do is what I like, and he also makes me do whatever I want, I like to set up stalls, it's nothing!" ”
Sister-in-law Wang felt that Shen Shimei's words were too ignorant of the suffering of the world, and they got up early and worked late every day just to live, but Shen Shiliu came out to set up a stall, in fact, just to play, this time, you can see the gap in the realm.
"If only I had a good life like you, how many women would envy you to death!" Sister-in-law Wang sighed and said.
Shen Shiliu was very proud, and the little "vanity" in his heart was satisfied.
At noon, someone came to Wang's sister-in-law's stall and directly lifted Wang's sister-in-law's stall. The oil pan used to fry the fritters was also kicked over, and the oil was spilled all over the ground.
"What do you guys do?" As soon as Brother Wang saw that someone was coming to make trouble, he stepped forward to stop him, but as a result, several people from the other side's five big and three thick people directly hammered into Brother Wang's chest with one punch, and Wang's sister-in-law was too frightened to make a sound, and she would only cry when she helped Brother Wang.
Shen Shiliu couldn't stand it anymore, beckoned Xiao Tie to quickly protect the two sister-in-law Wang behind, and then asked the gang: "Who are you?" How do you say that if you hit someone, you hit someone? ”
Xiao Tie's figure is about the same as that of those people, but it is a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Shen Shiliu saw this situation and wanted Xiao Tie to call people first, but the five people on the opposite side glanced at Shen Shimei and left without saying a word.
Shen Shimei's face was dark, those people should have come for her, they knew who she was, so they didn't dare to do it, but they didn't dare to do it to him, but they dared to do it to Sister-in-law Wang's family!
As soon as the person left, Shen Shiliu hurried to see Brother Wang, and the punch in the chest was not light, Shen Shiliu asked Xiao Tie to directly carry the person on his back and send him home first.
"What can I do about this?" Wang's sister-in-law cried.
"Don't worry, look for Langzhong, as for those people, they will definitely not be spared!" Shen Shiliu said.
Lang Zhong took a look and said, "The injury is not light, the medicine can't be stopped, and I have to lie down and recuperate these days." ”
Sister-in-law Wang panicked: "How much does this cost?" "Now that the stall has been lifted, there is no income, and the family's savings are really not much to talk about.
Shen Shiliu said directly: "Doctor, you can prescribe medicine, the money is not bad for you." ”
Sister-in-law Wang shook her head: "I can't afford to pay ......"
"It's important to treat the disease, and you don't have to pay back the money, let Brother Wang recuperate first." Shen Shiliu said, this is because she is also guilty, she shouldn't come out later, Brother Wang's injury was also affected by her.
Wang's sister-in-law is a woman, the child is small, and the man has an accident now, how difficult it is to have more boyfriends.
Shen Shiliu left Xiao Tie here to take care of it, and went back to the post house first, Du Xuanmo and Mo Su talked about things, and saw that Shen Shiliu came back with a black face, and came over to ask after talking about things.
"What? Didn't you go to a stall? Coming back at this time? Du Xuanmo asked.
Shen Shiliu was silent for a while before he said, "You say, am I willful?" ”
"What the hell is going on?" Du Xuanmo rarely looked at Shen Shimei so depressed.
Shen Shiliu told the matter of Wang's sister-in-law's house, and then said: "I shouldn't go to set up a stall anymore, and now I will suffer at home." She only thought about her own feelings, and she didn't think that she would make others sad like this.
Du Xuanmo patted Shen Shimei: "The blame is also those troublemakers, they are instructed, when the big fish here are fished out, those stinky fish and rotten shrimp will also be dealt with!" ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, and asked Mancang to deal with the stall first, and he was going to take care of the Wang family in the past few days.
Seeing that Shen Shimei was not happy in his heart, Du Xuanmo was not happy in his heart, he would definitely not spare those who oppressed the people.
Half a month later, there were several officials in Mincheng County and Yucheng County who were imprisoned, and there were many vacancies, Du Xuanmo sent a letter directly to Kyoto City, he had already drawn up a list, Zhuo Ming had no objections after reading it, there were not many others after the big exam, there were many people available, and soon the vacancies here were blocked.
All the fields occupied by the government were also sent back, and Du Xuanmo also ran away in person, but unfortunately, the eldest lady couldn't survive a typhoid fever because of her illness, and the family had already done a funeral.
Shen Shiliu had mixed feelings in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that these officials didn't do anything, the eldest mother's children would not have left home to make a living, and the eldest mother would not have gone early without good care.
Now although the field has been returned to the eldest mother's children, the regrets have also been left.
After the land is returned, all the people who went out to make a living will be allowed to come back, and they promise that no taxes will be collected for three years and that the taxes will be halved within ten years, otherwise most of the people will not come back.
"Now that we know what is going on here, it's time for us to go back to Kyoto City." Mo Su said.
Shen Shiliu shook his head: "This matter is not over yet, there are still people in the last black hands, and those corrupt officials who have been imprisoned will be tried again!" ”、
Mo Su shook his head: "Does Lord Du really want to investigate this matter to the end?" I can also see that the identity of the person behind this should not be ordinary, he may be a member of the imperial court, or even a relative of the emperor, and he is not aggressive. "He is old, and he also knows that Du Xuanmo is easy to be angry at this age, but the court is deep, and if the edge is too much, it is easy to be broken.
Du Xuanmo nodded heavily and said: "If I hadn't seen the tragic situation here in person, maybe I would have chosen to settle the matter and not investigate it deeply, but the scene in front of me is really heart-wrenching, although there is no real natural disaster in this place, but the people are tormented by human disasters, they can't go back to their homes, and the old man doesn't care about dying in the end, if you don't investigate, wouldn't it be disregarding the principles of heaven and humanity?" The emperor is a Ming monarch today, I just need to show him what I want to see, and how to deal with it in the end depends on the emperor. "If the emperor is still unmoved when he sees this, then he may really have no meaning in the court, and he has no contribution to the world and the people.
Mo Su looked at Du Xuanmo, once upon a time he also had such thoughts, but the longer the time, the more his mood changed, he could only maintain the only bit of clarity in his heart in this materialistic world where power was supreme, and losing himself was the saddest thing.
"If that's the case, then I'll report it truthfully." Mo Su said.
Du Xuanmo smiled timidly: "Then thank you Master Mo." ”
Mo Su didn't think about helping Du Xuanmo, but it was within the scope of his authority, and it was not difficult not to whitewash the peace.
Shen Shiliu on the other end left some money, which was enough for the Wang family to make a living.
"This ...... It's too much...... "Sister-in-law Wang didn't dare to accept it."
"Take it, the eldest brother's injury is about to heal, but you also have to eat and drink, when the eldest brother's injury is healed, you can go out of the stall again, those bad people have been arrested, don't dare to do anything wrong again, and if someone bullies you in the future, you will report it directly." Shen Shiliu said, Du Xuanmo's matter has an eyebrow, and she should be about to leave here.
Sister-in-law Wang took the money and wanted to kneel down for Shen Shimei, but was also stopped by Shen Shimei, where is she qualified to accept this kneeling?
Leaving home, Shen Shiliu returned to the post house, and Du Xuanmo was training people in the living room.
"This time you are temporarily dispatched, you must also act according to your conscience, the people here have just suffered a lot, if you have any things to oppress the people, do not do practical things, and only do things with money, don't talk about you, your children and grandchildren, don't think about it when I want to enter the court as an official again!" Du Xuanmo said something to scare, afraid that he would get away a wave of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then get a group of wine bags and rice bags.
"Yes, my subordinates remember!" The new officials were all subservient.
Du Xuanmo saw that the attitude of a few people was quite good, so he said: "When we leave, if someone comes to contact, do you know what to do?" ”
"The subordinates will not be dishonored!" The crowd returned.
Du Xuanmo nodded, if there are still people who want to repeat their old tricks, these people can be regarded as eyeliner.
Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo when he was still at home very different, and the truth of this court was that the official level crushed people to death.
Shen Shiliu returned to the room, and after a while, Du Xuanmo also returned.
"We should be leaving in the next few days, so let's get ready." Du Xuanmo said that there is a lot of work to go back and finish.
Shen Shiliu nodded and said, "I used to think that my life was not easy, but now that I look at it, I am lucky." ”
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly: "Yes, whether the people are doing well or not, in fact, it still depends on whether the officials do the personnel or not, especially these county orders below, if the parents and officials don't take good care of the people, how can the people live comfortably?" ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, this time it really didn't come out for nothing, and because of this, let her know the meaning of Du Xuanmo being an official.
A few days later, the team set off, and before leaving, Shen Shiliu went to say goodbye to Sister-in-law Wang, and asked Sister-in-law Wang to go to Kyoto City to find her if she had any more difficulties.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Shimei was in a trance, Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei had no spirit, so he said, "Do you miss your child again?" ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, he came out for so long, and his daughter and son hadn't seen him for so long, so he really thought about it.
"Will you come out later?" Du Xuanmo asked with a smile.
Shen Shiliu shook her head, and then nodded, although she was in a very congested mood when she came out, but if she didn't know, her thoughts would be limited, she hadn't seen the suffering of the world, and she didn't know how good her life was.
Du Xuanmo also understood that Shen Shimei couldn't be idle, so he smiled, and rushed home all the way to his heart.
