This scholar, like Lin You, went to Beijing to take the exam, because the Xie family is from Jiangnan, so he is particularly concerned.

What's more, Lin Qingwan is also involved.

Who is Lin Qingwan, she threw out the straw paper, making the price of the paper three times cheaper, and the most direct beneficiary is their group of readers.

Especially those who are from ordinary families.

Everyone doesn't talk about it, but they are very grateful to Lin Qingwan, not to mention that the Lin family's reputation in Shilin has always been very good.

Not only the scholars are concerned, but other readers have also been secretly staring, seeing that the Xie family is losing and retreating, everyone privately said that this is also the Xie family's crime deserved, as a parent, even if a bowl of water can not be leveled, it is also the most taboo to shield the children and grandchildren of the family to frame the brothers, if the incident is not punished, will it become a habit to cause trouble in the future?

The Xie family is still a scholarly family, and they don't even understand this truth.

Scholar Kai Kai said: "Tang Taizong has made countless achievements in his life, but he has always been criticized because of the Xuanwu Sect, not only because he killed his brother, but also because he made a very bad example for future generations. ”

The scholar sighed: "After the Tang Dynasty, the royal family's seizure of the throne became more and more powerful, and even raising troops became the norm. But there is a precedent of Taizong's success in the past, and it is difficult for future generations to stop. Taking history as a mirror, the Xie family should also be more cautious, Xie Yiyang harmed his brother's life, and he didn't punish it, not to mention the Lin County Lord who was closely related to him, but I was afraid that even God would not be able to see it. Let's look at it, most of the Xie family will still have trouble in the future. ”

The people in the teahouse were taken aback, and nodded one after another: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, can the younger generations learn from the ancestors?" ”

"I'm going to beat my kid when he fights, what does Old Xie think, he didn't look confused before, but the eldest grandson killed the second grandson's life."

The Xie family is the fifth-ranked family in Jiangnan, and it is still very famous here.

Xie Hong was also a character when he was young, and the older people sighed slightly, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

"The things that Xie Yan and Xie Yiyang committed involve national law," the scholar said, "This is not the county lord Lin meddling in revenge, it's just that they are not right, so what does it have to do with the county lord?" You talk like this, as if the county lord had framed them in revenge. ”

The scholar shook his head and said: "Now that their father and son are in prison, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are still investigating, and we still think that Lord Lin killed them." ”

"Brother Tai's news is lagging behind," a scholar entered the door in the dust, he seemed to be passing by here, because he heard everyone's discussion before stopping, he smiled and threw the horse to Xiao Er, so he came in with a smile and said: "Xie Yan and Xie Yiyang have been sentenced." ”

Xiao Er led the horse and was reluctant to go, so he leaned against the door and pricked up his ears to listen.

It was rare for the shopkeeper not to chase him, and he also looked at the new scholar curiously.

The scholar smiled: "Xie Yan was sentenced to exile, the sentence was just handed down when I left Beijing, and now it is estimated that the person is about to leave, Xie Yiyang is less guilty and sentenced to three years in prison." ”

The first scholar was surprised, "Only three years? Didn't you say that you hurt people so badly that they almost died? ”

The second scholar knew that he had left early, and he definitely didn't know what was going on," the victim wrote a letter of understanding and personally went to the lobby of the Criminal Department to intercede for Xie Yiyang. Hearing that the Xie family paid a lot of money and compensated a lot, the criminal department saw that they had a good attitude in admitting their guilt, and the victim also forgave and gave a light sentence. ”

The scholar sneered: "The Xie family still wants to use money to atone for their crimes, but the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department is quite upright, because Xie Yiyang previously shirked responsibility and framed others, so he was judged to be in violation of the regulations." ”

Otherwise, Xie Yiyang should have been released from prison by now.

But even in this way, everyone was also stunned, and the ordinary people once again felt the difference brought about by different classes.

In their opinion, it is difficult to get out of prison even if they don't die, but it is so easy for them to be in the officials?

In fact, it was not easy at all, Xie Hong paid a lot of money for his son and grandson to get this result.

After this incident, the Xie family was broken, and they were afraid that they would not be able to recover for a long time.

Looking at the two great-grandsons who were still young, Xie Hong was even more silent, and his eyes couldn't help but look at his second son.

As soon as Xie Gan saw his father's gaze, he came back to his senses, and said without waiting for him to speak: "Father, I won't be a leader, you know that this is a good thing for the Xie family, otherwise I'm afraid that the Xie family will be even worse." ”

Xie Hong was angry, "Just restrain your temper." ”

Xie Qian pursed his lips and said: "I haven't changed it for more than 30 years, I can't change it for the sake of my mother, do you think I will change it for the sake of my eldest brother and Xie Yiyang?" ”

Xie Hong was tired and said: "It was for the Xie family at that time." ”

His shoulders slumped, his back bent, and he was no longer the high-spirited and energetic Lord Xie he used to be.

Seeing his father like this, Xie Qian was also distressed, but he was self-aware, he was really not suitable for a career.

"Father, the Xie family is not your alone, you don't need to carry him on your shoulders, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, if you want me to say that you shouldn't give Xie Yiyang a walk, he will be sentenced for as long as he wants." Xie Gan paused and said: "No, there is no evidence for Erlang's death, and he doesn't need to be sentenced for this one." ”

Seeing his sarcastic face, Xie Hongqi didn't fight anywhere, and couldn't help but pick up the book in his hand and hit him, "That's your nephew!" ”

Xie Gan turned his head to dodge, pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Erlang is also my nephew." ”

He looked at Xie Hong with blazing eyes and said, "Father has ever thought about how to teach Xie Xing and Xie Xuan in the future?" Let them think that it is not a big mistake to frame their brother's life, as long as they have no other brothers, the elders have to protect them? ”

Xie Hong felt a pain in his heart, clutching his chest and panting.

Lin Qingwan and the Yang family both asked him this sentence, but he always felt that he was right, Da Lang was his only grandson.

He can't help but protect him, but now that his son asks him like this, he really thinks about this question, in the future, will the heirs of the Xie family have the same brother Xiao Qiang?

Seeing that his father's face turned white with discomfort, Xie Gan couldn't help but sigh, stepped forward to support him and said: "Father, let's leave the matter of the eldest brother and the eldest man alone, you resign and return to your hometown, I will raise the two nephews in the future, even if the upper beam is not right, I can break the lower beam, and I will not let them be crooked again." ”

Xie Hong frowned, "I resigned?" Isn't that the Xie family unattended? No, your nephew is still young, and he has to survive until he grows up. ”

Xie Gan couldn't help but roll his eyes, wait for Xie Province to grow up for more than ten years, Dad, can you still live until then?

Xie Qian pursed his lips and looked at his father, thinking that if his father resigned now, he might really be able to live for more than ten years, but if he still became this official, it would be difficult.

If others were to throw off his sleeves and leave, but this was his father, he had to persuade softly: "Your spirit is short, you can't hold on to ......"

At the same time, Lin Qingwan also received news from the capital, Xie Yan was exiled, and Xie Yiyang was also sentenced.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and after taking Lin Yubin away, she called Yi Han and said, "Xie Yiyang will change prisons, you send someone to pay attention, I don't need him to be crippled, I want him to be brain-dead." ”

Yi Han was stunned for a while before he pondered: "Crazy? ”

Lin Qingwan smiled silently.

Yi Han nodded and said, "This is not difficult, Xie Yiyang is now a thin line away from going crazy." ”

"How are Cui Liang and Wuyang?"

"As usual, Mr. Wang helped to check, and the two of them were not clean, but they did not leave any evidence."

Lin Qingwan regretted, "In the end, it is a big family, much more cautious than the Xie family, continue to let people stare at, we have to be patient." ”

Yi Han responded in a low voice, and only retreated when he saw that she had no other instructions.

Lin Qingwan spread out the paper on the table and continued to write the plan.

The reading building is already under construction, and it is easy to build a house, but it is difficult to run a reading building.

First of all, books are a big obstacle.

Lin has a lot of books, but most of them only have one or two, and it is obviously impossible for her to move these books to the reading building, let alone only put one or two books in the reading building, so she has to print books.

For many books, the Lin Family Bookstore has ready-made engravings, but many more are not.

Lin Qingwan was thinking about whether to use movable type printing, or let people copy the book?

Both are powerful, and she's weighing them.

In addition to books, there is also the business model of the Reading Building, which is the most difficult, because the Reading Building cannot be unprofitable, so even if she maintains it, she will collapse when she leaves.

She hopes that since the Reading Building has been established, it will exist for a long time, and even if there is no support, it can stand on its own.

What does the Reading Building rely on to make a profit?

Selling books?

But in that case, after a long time, she was afraid that the reading building would become a bookstore, so she decided to change the original setting.

Lin Qingwan bit the tip of the pen tangled and wrote and drew on the paper.

The reading building was given to Lin Qingwan by the emperor, so it was built by the imperial court, and Lin Qingwan didn't have to spend a penny.

However, the imperial court of Daliang was accustomed to saving, and Zhou Tingshi, as a magistrate, naturally inherited the will of the supreme leader, so after asking Lin Qingwan's opinion, the materials used in the reading building were the most ordinary bricks and wood, all of which were recently taken.

The wood is not a famous species except for the larger ones, according to Lin Qingwan's instructions, the space inside is wide and large, and Zhou Tingshi and the craftsmen are very happy.

Because the number of rooms is small and the walls are few, everyone's workload is reduced a lot.

Since the reading building is a building, of course, it cannot have only one floor, it is a three-story structure, and it is the highest type of building in Suzhou City.

Because Lin Qingwan's first request at that time was big, Zhou Tingshi chose a secluded place very simply, surrounded by small shops with dismal business.

This land is a wasteland in the city, and Zhou Tingshi plans to sell it to a wronged boss who came to Suzhou to do business and build a house for others.

Before it was sold, the emperor's will arrived.

Because it was big, Zhou Tingshi was reluctant to use the land in the central city, so he pulled out this land on the edge of the west city.

Before the construction, with the friendship of the two, Zhou Tingshi also asked Lin Qingwan a special question, asking her if she would like to ask for this land, or if he would choose some for her.

In fact, it's only half a street further in.

Lin Qingwan heard that he was going to go and chose this land decisively, forget it, isn't it just that the popularity is not prosperous, anyway, they are all in the city, and they will always be prosperous.
