Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei, two little girls, have been circling around the baby, always wanting to reach out and tease them.

Lou's and Fei Rulan's mother and daughter went into the house to talk about the recent situation and many rules in Ji'an Mansion.

Not long after, Fei Ruhe also came and asked people to carry their luggage back to their house. When his mother and sister came over, they must have lived with him, and it was a little inconvenient for his mother-in-law to live at her son-in-law's house.

"Brother, why does Gun'er sleep all the time? and they do not open their eyes to us. Zhao Zhenfang asked curiously.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "He grew up fast when he fell asleep." ”

So Zhao Zhenfang squatted down again and watched the baby sleep with Fei Rumei, and she didn't know what to see.

They sat and watched the children, and Zhao Han sat and watched them, the warm spring sun was shining, and it was a good time of the year.

The good times didn't last long, and Xiao Huan came to ask for a meeting and handed over a few documents.

Taihe County was severely underpopulated due to the destruction of Sylubu, and many peasants had to be relocated. In the county seat, they were also choked enough, and some merchants and homeless people had to be moved. At the same time, in addition to borrowing grain from grain banks at low interest rates, the original farmers in the county should also distribute some grain and seeds to survive.

There was a lot of money and food involved, and the operation process was a little chaotic, and Taihe Zhixian took the opportunity to be greedy for money and food.

Nest case!

From the magistrate to the clerk, to the mayor and the grain bank, a total of seventeen people were involved.

Ironically, most of the officials involved in corruption were poor scholars, and even one was a tenant farmer. The one who came forward to report this matter came from the gentry class, and belonged to the children of the big clan who did not let Zhao Han worry about it the most.

Zhao Han carefully looked at the disposal plan, everything was done according to the rules, and after he signed and sealed, he said: "Transfer it to Mr. Pang and let him reappoint the officials." ”

Xiao Huan left with the documents, Zhao Han sighed, and lay on the bamboo chair to bask in the sun.

The territory has only expanded to thirteen counties, and there will be more and more corruption cases.

Fortunately, countless readers want to climb up and like to report their bosses to make room.

At this moment, Fei Chun is also very busy.

This nest case in Taihe County involved two grain bank personnel. He decided to organize a manpower to carry out a general inventory of all the grain stores, and he would definitely be able to find a few more moths, and by the way, scare off those who wanted to stretch out their hands indiscriminately.

Fei Liao and Ling waited left and right, but they couldn't wait for their son to come home, so they simply called the servants at home.

"Such a big house, just the four of you?" Ling Shi frowned.

One of the maids said, "Just the four of us." ”

Fei Liao asked, "Who is the housekeeper?" ”

There was no answer, no steward.

Ling couldn't help sighing: "This fool can't be a master, and he doesn't even have a housekeeper." You all report your names, so I'll familiarize yourself with them. By the way, in the future, I will be called lord and madam, don't be big or small. ”

"My name is Zuo Cui."

"My name is Liu Li."

"My name is ......"

Ling suddenly interrupted: "Stop! What I am and what I am must call myself a slave from now on. ”

Liu Li said: "Mr. Zhao is not allowed to keep slaves, nor is it allowed for servants to call themselves slaves. ”

Ling sneered: "What are you not slaves?" ”

"Mercenary." Liu Li replied.

Fei Liao didn't speak again, but secretly looked at Zuo Cui, feeling that this maid was okay.

Ling cleared his throat: "The Mr. Zhao you are talking about is something I grew up watching. He is a big man, and he is also in charge of big things, and he is not in charge of the small things in this house. My son will not be the master, because you are used to being wild, and you must set rules in the future. Your name must also be changed, and you will have to pay your surname in the future, and it is the rule to change your surname with the master's family. ”

The four helpers looked at each other.

Liu Li said: "Madam, if you really want to change your surname, then I ask to resign." After the month is done, the salary is received and the lady leaves, and the lady can hire another helper. ”

"Hey, it's not the other way around," Ling scolded, "Give me a slap!" ”

No one did anything, and they all felt that Ling was mentally retarded.

Zhao Han investigated the unauthorized storage of slaves and the abuse of helpers very strictly, as long as he went to the government to complain, he would definitely sue one by one, and take the opportunity to suppress those disobedient gentry.

Liu Li said: "Madam, my son is Mr. Zhao's soldier, and I can live without being a servant." Madame didn't let me go, and I went to the government to complain, because it was impossible for me to change my surname. ”

"Your son is a soldier, and my son is still an official!"

Ling didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, so he ran to find a stick and beat Liu Li down.

Liu Li did not hide, only used his hands to cover his head, and the scars can be used as evidence.

This is what the missionaries in the city warn, and those missionaries often go door-to-door to publicize, so that the abused helpers must remember to report it.

Ling Shi was beaten, then retracted and scolded angrily: "Have you taken it? After taking it, kneel down and admit your mistakes! ”

Liu Li pulled up his sleeves to check, found that his arms were bruised, and immediately turned around and walked towards the gate.

Her son was not only a soldier, but also a military missionary. Her husband died early, she had only one son, and she was okay at home, so she simply applied to live in Fei Chun's house as a maid.

In the spring of this year, a large number of homeless people in Ji'an moved to Anfu County, and there were already signs of labor shortage.

Are you afraid you won't be able to find a job if you leave here?

Liu Li's former orphan and widow mother had suffered too much, and she never wanted to be angry again in her life.

"Stop her!" Fei Liao roared.

Still no one did it.

The remaining three helpers, although they did not dare to resist, would not cooperate.

When he came to Luling County, it was naturally impossible for Liu Li to directly see the county. First, I entered the special mediation room of the county government, which is available in the entire Ming Dynasty and is mainly used to deal with civil disputes.

"Name."

"Liu Li's."

"Age."

"Thirty-six."

“……”

"What's going on?"

Liu Li pulled up his sleeves: "I am the maid of Zhao Sicai's (Fei Chun) family, Zhao Sicai's father and mother came, forced me to call myself a slave, forced me to change my surname, and she beat me if I quit my job." ”

"Zhao Sicai?" The mediator exclaimed, "Zhao Sicai of the General Military Mansion? ”

"It's that Zhao Sicai." Liu Li said.

"Wait a minute." The mediators did not dare to call the shots, and immediately ran to ask the head of the county government punishment room.

When the head of the torture room heard the report, he also didn't dare to make the decision, and ran to find the county Cheng Chen Wenkui.

Chen is the first surname in Qingjiang County, when Zhao Han sent troops to Zhangshu Town, during the confrontation with the official army, Chen Wenkui took the initiative to take refuge and donated a large number of medicinal materials to Zhao Han's army.

The Chen family also donated a secret recipe for gold sore medicine, which has a miraculous effect on the treatment of trauma, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Chen Wenkui himself was born in Xiucai, not only actively cooperated with the division of fields, but also donated money, food and medicinal materials again. He participated in the field division work in Qingjiang County in the summer, and participated in the field division work in Fengcheng County in the winter, and all the way to the assessment was excellent.

Whether it is political speculation or not, such people must be vigorously promoted!

The head of the torture room said: "This case involves Zhao Sicai, do you want to wait for the county to come back to deal with it?" ”

The magistrate went to the countryside to inspect the spring ploughing.

Chen Wenkui patted the case and said: "The prime minister violated the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Just handle the case according to the rules, how can you wait for the county to return to the government! ”

Chen Wenkui is indeed a speculator, he won the show early, and he did not win the examination until he was forty-seven years old. Zhao Han's rebellion made him see another hope, so he donated nearly half of his family property (excluding acres of land), and worked diligently, and he was quickly promoted.

He was almost fifty years old, and there was no time to waste time any longer, and the bigger the better.

For others, the case was tricky. For Chen Wenkui, it is an opportunity to gain fame and political achievements!

His family is not only a big landowner, but also a big pharmacist, he has not lacked anything since he was a child, and he has no interest in money. His ideal in life is to be a big official, and it would be better if he could leave a name in history!

"Shift duty, follow me to arrest people!"

Chen Wenkui shouted, his blood boiling.

Not to mention Fei Chun, even if Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua's families committed crimes, Chen Wenkui would be arrested, and he had already figured out Zhao Han's temper.

Running all the way to Fei Chun's house, the more Chen Wenkui thought about it, the more excited he became, he wanted to be Bao Zheng, Hai Rui and the like!

Seeing a group of officials rushing into the house, Fei Liao and the Ling family were a little confused, and their natural fear of the government once again enveloped their hearts.

Fei Liao trembled: "I...... I didn't commit any crimes. ”

Ling Shi also nodded and said with a smile: "This official, I just taught my own slave a lesson, and the official master should not listen to that evil slave to reverse black and white." ”

"Did you beat Liu Li?" Chen Wenkui asked.

Ling said: "Diao Nu is disobedient, so I will teach him a lesson. ”

Chen Wenkui immediately shouted: "Take it away!" ”

The couple was taken to the yamen in a daze, and because they were so scared, they forgot that their son was a big official.

When they entered the county government and began to try the case, the couple were so frightened that they knelt down at the same time.

Chen Wenkui couldn't cry or laugh, and even a little disappointed, he actually hoped that Fei Chun's parents would violently resist the law, so that he could show his iron-faced selflessness.

But the dignified "Zhao Sicai"'s father and mother actually knelt down when they saw a county man......

"My lord spares his life! Spare your life! ”

The couple knelt in the lobby and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Stand up!"

Chen Wenkui was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and got out of the way, the trial is the trial, he didn't dare to accept the kneeling of Fei Chun's parents.

The official hurriedly helped the two to their feet.

Soon, the chief clerk and the head of the torture room also came, and the presiding judge had arrived.

Chen Wenkui sat down again and said, "Take the plaintiff Liu Li!" ”

Liu Li came to the lobby and stood quietly aside.

"Poof!"

Chen Wenkui was shocked and said, "Plaintiff Liu Li's ...... Hey, why are you kneeling again? ”

But it was Fei Liao and Ling's couple, who were slapped by the shocking wood and their knees weakened, and they subconsciously knelt down with a brush. This time, not only Chen Wenkui stood up, but the chief bookkeeper and the head of the torture room also stood up, hiding to the side and not daring to accept the two of them bowing.

Ling not only knelt down by himself, but also scolded Liu Li next to him: "You Diao slave, you don't kneel down when you see the official master!" ”

Liu Li stood up and said: "My son is a military missionary, and he often goes home and says that everyone is created equal, and there is no need to kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents. ”

In the next trial process, Fei Liao and Ling were held by the officials throughout the whole process, otherwise they would still want to kneel.

There is nothing to judge, Ling was scolded by the rod for twenty, because she is a woman, she does not have to take off her pants and be beaten. And, for Fei Chun's sake, he was beaten very lightly during the execution.

In addition, Liu and Li were required to compensate for three months' salary, and the two parties terminated the employment contract in advance.

Halfway through the trial, Fei Chun rushed to hear the news, and it was inconvenient for him to go in and disturb him, so he walked into the lobby after the trial was over.

Chen Wenkui immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Zhao Sicai, I have offended the second elder." ”

Of course, Fei Chun was angry in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Chen County is selfless and selfless, and I admire it so much." ”

Chen Wenkui was disappointed again, but Fei Chun actually didn't attack on the spot.

It was Ling Shi who shouted, she saw that Chen Wenkui was very respectful to her son, and immediately cried: "Chun'er, you have to be your mother's master......"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Fei Chun was so upset that he couldn't help but scold his mother.

(I saw that there were also book friends, discussing the matter of cotton nails.) According to Qi Jiguang, the cotton armor can defend against a forty-step firecracker, but the thirty-step distance will definitely be pierced by the firecracker. ）
