The second episode of the fallen angel II
After inquiring, Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqiu basically knew some things about Jia Baishun and Lu Xian, and they also knew something about them. Because Jia Baishun had just arrived here, he did not persecute the local people too much. Therefore, the common people don't have much impression of this old prefect, and the only feeling is that this Jia Baishun is a little passive and slacking off, and he usually leaves everything to the master Lu Xian to be responsible. And this fake little spirit son Lu Xi'an is not only Jia Baishun's master, but also the actual manager of the daily life of this prefect's yamen. The common people have heard of this Lucian a lot, although Lucian is a little delicious and greedy for money, but his ability to do things is not small. When I first came, the people of the yamen looked down on this young master, which is also something that every yamen has. The people of the yamen not only deceived outsiders and feared evil, but also treated their own people. Lu Xi'an knew that the people of the yamen were disobedient to him, but he did not directly attack him. Instead, the situation stabilized, and after getting familiar with the work, I suddenly handled several very beautiful cases. not only made everyone look up to him, but also established his own prestige in the yamen, so he privately dealt with the people who targeted him before. Lucian did not deal with everyone, he only dealt with a few of the most troublemakers, as well as those who were not united within the yamen, and used this opportunity to consolidate his position. Not everyone may know about Lucian, but the people who live in the city are more well-informed. It just so happened that a bookstore in the yamen was temporarily rented in this area, and an old mother in the bookstore knew a lot about the master's family, and every time she went out to buy vegetables, she would tell everyone all kinds of new news about the yamen.
The people in the yamen were not only well-informed but also had poisonous eyes, and they saw that Lu Xi'an not only had a good relationship with the boss Jia Baishun, but also was a person with real skills. Lucian was not only proficient in the ways and means of the operation of the yamen, but also very good at investigating and handling cases. Some of the methods and ways of doing things are more professional than ordinary veterans, and both the torture room and the servants say that they are not as good as this master Lucian. Just because Lu Xian understands the profession and knows the operation of the yamen, it is not easy for the people of the yamen to get through the tricks. Gradually, everyone began to accept this fact, not only did they not dare to target Lucian, the master, but also began to take refuge in Lucian. Jia Baishun is an old fritter in officialdom, as long as he controls the situation in the yamen through Lu Xi'an, lives peacefully with a few colleagues nearby, and does not offend his superiors. Some officials of the Yamen were not qualified to have a good relationship with Jia Baishun directly, so they had no choice but to pledge their allegiance to Jia Baishun through Lucian.
In addition to being greedy and bold, Lucian did not kill all the people in the yamen. This person not only has the ability, but also knows that it is impossible for one person to manage the entire yamen. Therefore, Lucian, with the combination of grace and power, co-opted some officials who had no foundation, made them loyal to him, and arranged for them to do things for him. Through these officials, Lucian controlled the day-to-day operations of the yamen at all times. This bookstore, who lives near Qintai, is one of Lu Xi'an's subordinates, and the reason why Lu Xi'an is at ease with him is because this person does not have any backstage. If you want to mix well in the Yamen, you can only rely on Lucian, the master. As a scholar, Lucian will not scold people in public, and he is also relatively kind to the common people. Therefore, the people in the vicinity don't think that this master has anything excessive, so Lucian has a general impression in the minds of the people.
Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqiu inquired about Jia Baishun and Lu Xi'an, Qin Tai also began to systematically sort out the whole thing. Regarding the origin of this Lucian, Qin Tai also knew something. Xiao Lingzi was born in a Tartar and is a slave of the Qin Tai family, so it is absolutely impossible to have a chance to get ahead. Not to mention being an official, it is also difficult to be an official in a certain yamen. Qin Tai can't because Xiao Lingzi is a private person, so he has not solved the identity problem of Xiao Lingzi. Later, because Qin Tai had offended too many people, he couldn't find a way out for Xiao Lingzi. Zhang Juzheng was relatively straightforward at the time, so he proposed to let Xiao Lingzi leave Qin Tai for a period of time, and then come back to help Qin Tai after he was left by others. But at that time, Qin Tai couldn't do without Xiao Lingzi, and Xiao Lingzi was unwilling to leave Qin Tai easily, so this matter was left there. When Qin Tai learned that he might be in danger, he decided to let Xiao Lingzi leave him. The first is to protect Xiao Lingzi, the second is to use this opportunity to consider Xiao Lingzi's future, and the third is to give Xiao Lingzi a chance to be independent, so that Xiao Lingzi can experience himself more.
When Xiao Lingzi was recommended to Duan Xingao by Qin Tai, Duan Xingao did not treat Xiao Lingzi as his own at first. Although Duan Xingao respected Qin Tai, he was not optimistic about Xiao Lingzi. First, Xiao Lingzi is too young and doesn't look stable. Second, Xiao Lingzi looks like a Tartar, which makes people misunderstand. Although Duan Xingao himself is also from the Bai nationality, because of the Mongols, Duan Xingao, like ordinary Han people, is a bit aimed at people from ethnic minorities in the north. In the vast majority of Han territory, everyone is not optimistic about Xiao Lingzi. Third, Qin Tai mentioned in the letter that he wanted to give Xiao Lingzi a background, and hoped that Duan Xingao would help. This made Duan Xingao think that Qin Tai was also a cronyistic person, so he was even less optimistic about Xiao Lingzi.
But not long after, Duan Xingao discovered that Xiao Lingzi was not only not a villain who tended to be inflammatory, but also a very capable young man. Xiao Lingzi used his expertise to help Duan Xingao quickly solve several unsolved cases. Duan Xingao began to become interested in Xiao Lingzi, and Xiao Lingzi also answered Duan Xingao's questions. Duan Xingao immediately discovered that this little Lingzi not only had the ability, but also had a lot of theoretical knowledge. Duan Xingao only knew that Xiao Lingzi was not a burden but a treasure, Xiao Lingzi not only learned Qin Tai's skills, but also learned some of the skills of the old drunkard master, and the kung fu in his hands also had five or six costs to show the little heroine. Duan Xingao regarded Xiao Lingzi as his confidant, and Xiao Lingzi became a dark horse by Duan Xingao's side.
Duan Xingao also wants to cultivate this little Lingzi well, but how to arrange a suitable identity for the little Lingzi? Although there were many examples at that time, there were many cases of people selling official positions through bribery. But Duan Xingao, as a Qing official, has no money to buy a background for Xiao Lingzi, and it is impossible for the righteous Duan Xingao to know the law and break the law. Duan Xingao can't do this, and Qin Tai won't do it either, so Xiao Lingzi's background has become a big problem. Fortunately, Duan Xingao is a county with a legitimate reputation in the imperial court, and he has the right to check the relevant information. finally found a more reliable information for Duan Xingao, which created an opportunity for Xiao Lingzi to seek a good citizen's background.
In ancient times, the "inverted son-in-law" was called a son-in-law, but the common people did not need such an elegant statement, and everyone called the son-in-law a son-in-law. This kind of son-in-law had a very low status in ancient society, and was not even as good as a powerful minion. The so-called door-to-door son-in-law mainly refers to the fact that there is no male heir in the woman's family, or the male heir is too young to be the master of the house. At this time, the woman found a man with a clean net worth and married into the woman's family to become a door-to-door son-in-law. This kind of marriage no longer inherits the ancient tradition of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the status of the woman is higher than that of the man. Whether it is the social status of the family, or the handling of property and family business, the woman has the absolute initiative. Not only is the man not allowed to divorce his wife, but he also has to worry about being kicked out of the house at any time. Even the children they give birth to, whether male or female, have to bear the woman's surname. If the man is kicked out of the house by the woman, he will be a homeless man with nothing. This is the so-called "inverted door", and the elegant point is called "recruiting Lang into the red".
There is also a special kind of son-in-law in Daming, and the reason why they became "inverted doors" is even more ridiculous, but it is even more difficult to think about it carefully. The army of the Ming Dynasty implemented the guard system, that is, the professionalization of soldiers. Once every soldier becomes a soldier, they will be a professional soldier for the rest of their lives. Except for some special occasions, the army was disbanded on the spot once the war was settled, and this kind of professional soldier was fixed. Not only are they soldiers all their lives, but even their children and grandchildren are soldiers. The Wei had their own land, so they could feed their families and not have to pay any taxes to the imperial court. Therefore, the military families in the guard house are also called military families, and the life of the military families is a little better than that of ordinary people. However, as a military household, they also have their own rules and characteristics, first, they need to accept militarized management. Not only do they have to manage their own crops, but they also have to participate in regular training to ensure local peace. Second, they need to be ready to obey the dispatch at any time, and it is their job to exterminate the nearby rioters or bandits. These things are not only dangerous but also very likely to cause death and injury, so no one wants to be involved in this kind of thing. Third, once they are old or dead and disabled, they need someone to replace them and continue to serve as soldiers. Otherwise, they will take back the land they have been allocated, drive them out of the guards, and disqualify them from military households.
