The errand who went to Xu's Mansion soon came back and replied, "My lord, Xu's servant refuses to come. ”

In fact, Chen Nian had expected this result, he was angry and funny, this Xu Qian is really bold, the official has a will, and he won't come when he calls him, could it be that he doesn't want this black gauze hat anymore?

But it's okay if Xu Qian doesn't come, anyway, let everyone see this guy's arrogance, Chen Nian said: "Prepare a sedan chair, he won't come, the old man will ask him personally." ”

"My lord, how can there be a reason for an inspection official to come to the door in person?"

What Chen Nian wants is the effect, he wants to dress himself up as a vulnerable group, and when the time comes, see how Xu Qian explains, and said: "Hugh has to say more, go and prepare quickly." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Nian rushed to the Xu Mansion under the support of a team of errands, the Xu family's house is the most extensive, it is said to be the handwriting of the eunuch Huang Jin, and finally it was given to Xu Qian, the Xu family father and son moved in half a year ago, and invited many servants and guards, even so, compared to this huge mansion, it still seems a little empty.

This house makes people jealous at a glance, especially Chennian, as a poor and clear stream, now the place where he lives is still a rented small courtyard, there are only three wings, and he has to hire a doorman, a sedan chair man, and the monthly Yulu will be cleared in a few days after a few days, sometimes there is really no way, and you have to go out to borrow on credit, and this day is as bitter as it is.

Mixed to the point of him, now there is no extravagant hope, just to tie up Yang Tinghe, can be mixed with a fat shortage, in his hands in power, in order to exchange for white flowers, the imperial envoys have such a high combat effectiveness, it is not unreasonable to see the good of others, think about it, they are also officials, people eat and drink spicy, but they are a handful of snot and tears. It is okay for those who come from better families, if they are born poor. Maybe you have to send some silver back to your hometown every year, which makes it even more difficult.

The old family background is not very good, although the imperial envoy can scold people when he sees them, but the days are really hard, sometimes I can't wait to let it out to be a county order, and now I see a big house like the Xu family, my heart is sour, and then I am furious, and I scolded in my heart: "A dog official with a mouth." I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment have been squeezed, phew! ”

was resentful in his heart, but his demeanor was very low-key, and he ordered someone to take a sign to negotiate with the Xu family's concierge, but the other party was not embarrassed. I immediately went in to report, and I came back after a while, that is, it was so close to a stick of incense, but I couldn't help but be speechless, a stick of incense back and forth, how big is this Xu family's house? The surname Xu is unreasonable, a waiter. is the same as the old man, he is a fresh clothes and angry horse, but the old man is gray-faced, and he is a servant like a cloud. But I can't even hire a sedan chair driver, is this still a living?

Immediately, Master Chen sighed in his heart, the world is so rotten because of so many stupid insects surnamed Xu. scolded like bleeding in his heart: "People's hearts are not ancient." ”

Menzi came here. said: "My young master said, please come in and speak." ”

Master Chen, who was sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly disliked it in his heart. Although this Xu Qian is a waiter, everyone is of the same grade, and he is now on the order to inspect, he actually refused to even come out to greet him, but only asked a disciple to invite him.

This Xu Qian ...... It's a death story.

Let's see how he explains later, now that he is angry and resentful, if he doesn't clean him up, the old man won't be surnamed Chen.

Desperately hold back the fire, with the door inside, this way such as Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, he is not without seeing the magnificent house, some colleagues in the same year of the mansion he also visited, but this house occupies a large area, the essence of decoration is extremely rare, countless carved beams and paintings, hundreds of buildings, attics, corridors, courtyards, shadow walls, the main hall everything, every tree and flower garden, seems to have been carefully arranged and cut, integrated into the building, does not seem abrupt, is this brick and tile, can also be seen carved excellent moire, The masonry on the ground takes the style of Qin bricks, the gap of the joints can hardly be seen, through the instrument door several weights, you can see the spacious front hall, and there are wings on the left and right sides are scattered, the pattern is excellent, there are both the delicacy of the southerners, and the atmosphere of the north can be revealed.

Chen Nian looked at the flowers, hated and jealous in his heart, as if he walked through every brick and stone, stepping on the blood and tears of the working people, although there was no class hatred in his stomach, after all, he and Xu Qian were officials in the same dynasty, and they were not the difference between landlords and tenants, but this inexplicable resentment in his heart taught him to feel very tight.

Entered the front hall, it was very broad, elegant and quiet with a bit of magnanimity, the vase of flower arrangement was placed on several cases, almost visible lifelike painted maids on the bottle surface, there were plaques on the wall with word panels, at first glance they were obviously masterpieces, Xu Qian was in good spirits at this time, wearing a round-necked regular clothes, although it was the middle of winter, but there was a carbon basin here, but it was also warm, so Xu Qian did not have many clothes on his body, he saw the old man, and saluted with a smile: "Lord Chen, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Chen Nian's face was gloomy, but he had to return the salute: "Xu waiting, long admiration, long admiration." ”

One is disrespectful and the other has been admired for a long time, but it does not mean that the two have sympathy for each other, on the contrary, Chen Nian was even more disgusted in his heart, and then said with a straight face: "Xu Shiyu, the official is here to ...... by order"

Xu Qian smiled and said, "Oh? Have a will? ”

Chen Nian had to shake his head: "I didn't issue your holy decree, in short, this time it's for an official matter, and now the official business is important, and the old man will get straight to the point. ”

Xu Qian gave the maid a look, and the maid stepped back obediently and went to pour tea. Xu Qian replied, "Naturally, I know." ”

Chen Nian said with a straight face: "Since you know, then dare to ask you, what is the standard of the imperial court for officials?" ”

Xu Qian replied: "Clear, cautious, and diligent." ”

Chen Nian nodded and said lightly: "If an official arrives late and leaves early, or simply disappears during official business, what crime should be punished?" ”

Xu Qian said: "If it is the law of the Taizu year, if you are absent from work for 1 day, you will be punished with 20 small boards, and every 3 days will be added to the first grade, and if you are full of 20 days, you will be beaten with 100 big boards." ”

Chen Nian wanted to laugh in his heart, but this guy remembered this method clearly, but he didn't know that he had entered his trap, and said: "Since you are so clear, then the official will ask you again, what if you are absent from work for eight days?" ”

Xu Qian replied, "Thirty rods." ”

Chen Nian sneered: "What if it's a waiter who is absent? ”

Xu Qian said: "The waiter is also an official, so naturally it is also according to this example." ”

Chen Nian put his hands behind his back and looked at Xu Qian coldly: "Then dare to ask Xu Shiyu, since you know the law, why did you knowingly commit a crime, the official has already learned that you have been absent from work for eight days, and you have not been to the duty room for eight days, why is this?" ”

Xu Qian looked a little twisted: "I have a hard ......"

Difficulties...... Chen Nian almost jumped up, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless person, you can be absent from work if you have a hard time, then the old man still has a hard time, he said coldly: "If you really have a hard time, why don't you go to the book to take leave?" If you don't admonish and are absent from work without reason, what are you talking about? ”

Chen Nian was aggressive, but Xu Qian was very calm, he was very embarrassed and said: "This hardship is not enough for outsiders, besides, Your Majesty has already made it clear that I am not allowed to say it, if you take this hardship to take leave, wouldn't it be against the king's order?" ”

When asked him what he was doing, he didn't say it, he asked him why he was absent, and he said that he had a hard time, which was just going around in circles, treating Uncle Chen as a fool, and actually playing Tai Chi.

"If that being the case, then the fact is that you have been absent from work for eight days, and you should be thirty rods, what do you have to say?"

Xu Qian said with a straight face: "I was wronged. ”

"Wronged?" Chen Nian sneered again and again: "Where in this world are there so many wrongs? ”

Xu Qian's eyes rolled: "The adult really wants to beat me?" ”

Chen Nian Zhengse said: "If you are an official who wants to embarrass you, it is really intolerable by national law." ”

Xu Qian suddenly smiled, he was not polite to Chen Nian, he sat on the pear wood chair on the side, and looked at Chen Nian strangely: "If the adult wants to fight, then come and fight, if you don't fight, it's a puppy." ”

Chen Nian almost vomited blood out of anger, but he suddenly found a problem, it was no problem to beat Xu Qian, but the problem was that this was the Xu family, did he dare to beat someone? I'm afraid that if Xu Qian is moved, the people in this mansion will hammer him to death, as for the errand outside the mansion, of course, they can't break into the door at will, after all, there are many people in the Xu family who are on business in the Jinyi Guard, and if you rush in, there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

In fact, there is another way, which is to invite Xu Qian to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to carry out the execution, but ......

Chen Nian had to say patiently: "Naturally, you have to beat, so go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the old man to receive the punishment." ”

Xu Qian didn't bother to pay attention to him at all: "What if I don't go?" ”

"You...... How daring! Chen Nian was really angry this time: "Do you still have the royal law, and do you still understand the rules?" You...... The official is ordered to do things, do you dare to disrespect? You're still not an official of the imperial court? ”

Xu Qian said: "I have explained very clearly to the adults, the reason why I can't go to duty is because there is a hardship, and the adults shout and kill without asking the reason, because they think Xu is a bully." ”

The question returned to that circle, and Chen Nian had to ask angrily: "What's the problem?" ”

Xu Qian immediately shook his head mysteriously: "No comment!" ”

At this moment, Chen Nian saw Xu Qian's awesomeness, and he smiled coldly: "Okay, since you have nothing to say, you should never be on duty if you have something......

Xu Qian was shocked: "My lord is so courageous, although Xu is just a waiter, but he is not on duty, but it is not for the adult to have the final say." ”

Chen Nian felt that it was too child's play, and he felt that arguing with this Xu Qian was like a child playing at home, so he had to say: "You really don't say it?" Okay, the official will go back to resume his life, the official can't clean you up, so naturally someone will clean you up. ”

He turned to leave.

Xu Qian suddenly stopped him: "Do you really want to listen to my hardships?" ”
