As the power of these gods grew, the yamen and some ordinary people began to worry. In the fifth year of Wanli alone, there were no less than dozens of reports reported to the capital by yamen in various places. This does not include some provincial-level yamen who deliberately withheld or concealed them, who concealed or did not report them for the sake of their status and political achievements, or because they were supporters of a certain god stick, so they deliberately forgot or did not report them. Most of these reports that have already been submitted to the capital have also been "flooded", and they are all privately reported to the capital by some local officials who still have conscience or opinions. The so-called "drowned" means that the documents or report letters reported by subordinates are treated as useless letters by these people, and they are not reported to the higher authorities in accordance with the regulations. If it is not sent to the table of the higher officials, it is impossible for the cabinet to know, and it is impossible for the cabinet elders to know, and it is even more impossible for the little emperor and the queen mother to know if the cabinet elders do not know. However, the imperial court took a disregard for this kind of report letter, and even did not bother to register. Some Jinyiwei and Dongchang's spies also reported this matter to their superiors, but the superiors in charge of registering information did not think so. Zhang Li, a subordinate lieutenant of the Hui Branch, once took the opportunity to report to Beijing and mentioned this incident separately, hoping to attract the attention of his superiors. However, his superiors said that he was nosy and warned him not to make trouble. As a result, the local yamen could not manage the affairs of these organizations, the middle and lower levels of the six yamen of the imperial court were reluctant to mention it, the senior officials of the imperial cabinet did not know about the sources, and the little emperor and the empress dowager had never heard of it. This missed the best opportunity to deal with it and became a major hidden danger for the imperial court.

Lao Zhang was originally a farmer who did his duty, but he didn't expect that he would also become a celebrity. Lao Zhang is actually not very old, but because his son is an adult, everyone habitually calls him "Lao Zhang". Lao Zhang's ancestors were poor peasants who farmed for the landlord for the last four generations, and Lao Zhang himself didn't know it, and it is estimated that nine times out of ten he was also a farmer. Lao Zhang's living standard is from the bottom, and he can't support himself. Lao Zhang's father got married in his thirties, and only when he was forty years old did he have a child. But Lao Zhang got married early and had his first child soon after. This can only be said to be Lao Zhang's luck, and he just happened to meet a good opportunity.

The place where Lao Zhang is located belongs to the Yellow River, so geological disasters often occur. Ten years are often followed by floods, droughts, plagues or locusts, and almost constant disasters. Whether it is the common people here or the landlords, their lives are not very good, so the landlords will not be too harsh on the common people who farm the land. The landlord Lao Zhang served was also a good person who was more amiable to them, so Lao Zhang's family served their family for nearly 50 years. Even Lao Zhang's name Ah Dog was obtained by the old lady of the landlord's family, which means that Lao Zhang will serve their family loyally and be a good dog for their family. Lao Zhang is really loyal to this landlord's family, at least he has never done anything to be sorry for the landlord's family.

The so-called good landlord is not actually a good man, but just a little kind to the people. When collecting rent every year, he will still be vicious, and he will usually bully men and women as usual. When the landlord was still a young master, his father, who was later the old lady, engaged a marriage for his son. The woman is a young lady who is also a landlord, and the only difference is that this young lady has a talented brother. Once this kind of landlord family has children and fame, it is possible to develop into a family of officials and eunuchs. The old lady took a fancy to the woman, so she tried her best to set up this family affair for her son. The lord was actually reluctant in his heart, because at that time, the lord was not only on good terms with a girl, but he also heard that the young lady who was married was not only old but also not good-looking. But the old lady was the head of the family at that time, and the master did not dare to disobey what he decided, so he got married. After marriage, his wife was actually good to him, but he was not happy. Because the old lady not only forced him to get married, but also did not allow him to marry the girl he liked as a little wife. Thinking that this wife was old and ugly, and the girl he liked was forced to marry someone else, of course the old man was unhappy. But the old lady was in charge of the family at the time, and his wife's status in the family was higher than that of his own family, so the old man had to live like this.

Soon after, the old lady decided to retire and gave up the position of head of the family to his son, and the old man became the head of the family. At this time, the wife's mother's family also had an accident, and the wife's brother, the scholar who might be an official, was ordered to go home and think about it behind closed doors because he was on the wrong side. The lord thinks that this is the time for him to "turn over the serf and sing", and he is going to completely change the direction of his future life. On the one hand, he cultivated his cronies to consolidate his position, and on the other hand, he inquired about the whereabouts of his lover, and prepared to marry his lover into the door as his little wife. It was also this old man's good luck that his husband died shortly after his lover entered the door, and she was driven back to her parents' house by her mother-in-law. The old man spent a very small amount of money to buy this first lover back, and the old man no longer paid attention to the warnings and complaints of the old lady and his wife, and directly announced that this woman was his second wife. Since then, in addition to dealing with the big and small affairs at home, he has been soaking in the second wife's room all day long, and he doesn't even want to see the eldest wife's face. The subordinates in the family are also smart people, and they began to get close to the second wife, alienating the eldest wife, and the eldest wife's life at home is not as good as day by day.

At this time, another change occurred, and the eldest lady's brother came out of the mountain again, not only made a comeback, but was directly appointed as a magistrate by the imperial court. The mother's brother made a comeback, which is simply great news for the eldest wife who has been neglected. At the instigation of a dowry girl, the eldest lady wrote to her brother, wanting her brother to make decisions for herself. This brother actually didn't care about this sister, but his relatives couldn't ignore it, so he sent someone to ask the truth about this matter. This magistrate has certain instructions for his subordinates, if the eldest wife can't live anymore, take the eldest lady back to her parents' house. If it's okay, let the next person tell the eldest lady to be patient as much as possible. As soon as this subordinate arrived at this place, he began to secretly investigate the matter. Fortunately, the old lady was deeply rooted here, and someone immediately reported the matter to him. Although the old lady was also angry with his son's behavior, he had to speak for his son for the sake of the future of the family. The old lady personally went to find the descendant of this in-law family, bought this person with money, and knew the bottom line of the eldest young master of the in-laws. Then he went back to do the work of his eldest daughter-in-law and eldest wife, hoping to make this matter a big thing a small thing.

The eldest lady also knew that she was married after all, and it was not good for her reputation to go back to her parents' house, so she was willing to obey the old lady's arrangement to forgive her husband. But the eldest lady is not a fool, and if she does not take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on her husband and second wife, she will not have a good chance. The eldest lady demanded that her husband apologize in person, and that she should retake charge of the housekeeping that was originally under her management, and that the lord ensure that her position as the eldest wife would never change. The old lady agreed on behalf of his son, and there was no other way at this time. Once the eldest lady returns to her parents' home, not only will her family's reputation be damaged, but it will also cause the exclusion of the official forces represented by the eldest lady's brother. For the sake of his own future and the future of the family, the old lady had no choice but to agree to all the requests of the eldest wife, the daughter-in-law, as soon as possible.

In order to make the eldest lady's daughter-in-law happy, the old lady went to the second wife's room in person, and taught his son, especially the second wife, a hard lesson in front of everyone. The old lady criticized the second wife for nothing, and the second wife was simply the reincarnation of a vixen. As soon as the old man wanted to defend his second wife, the old lady directly announced a few orders. First, the second wife has a bad character, so she is demoted to a concubine and is no longer the second wife. Second, the eldest lady was virtuous and virtuous, and had a good housekeeper, so she took over all the housekeeping of the family. Third, the old man made a mistake by alienating the eldest wife because he favored the second wife, and in view of the lack of the old lady's behavior, the old lady temporarily withdrew the right to be in charge. This not only made the eldest lady happy, but also dealt a blow to the power of the old man, and the old lady regained control of the family. The second wife is the most unlucky one, not only was she punished by the old lady in public, but also lost the status of the second wife and became a concubine. The status of a large family is very important, although the second wife is not the main room, she is also a flat wife, whether it is her own status or the identity of her children in the future, it is similar to the main room. Once reduced to a concubine, not only can your status not change, but even your children will not be able to make a difference in the future. The second wife couldn't stand the blow and hanged herself that night.

Although the master ******** a few years later, it is not as good as before. Not only did he not dare to look down on the eldest wife, but he also did not dare to take a concubine without the consent of the eldest wife. The eldest lady did not dare to take charge of the financial power of the family, and sent people to keep an eye on the lord day and night, no woman could get close to the lord, and the eldest lady did not allow her husband to have another woman. The old lady is in charge of the master, the eldest lady in the family is staring, and the only son is born to the eldest wife, so he has no freedom at all.
