Chapter 23: Red Face

"My lord, you are wrong in what you say!"

Wang and Yao Zhengse spoke.

When it comes to clever tongues, he is generally unconvinced.

"How can you convince the public of trumped-up charges? It's better to push the boat with the current, and we will remember the kindness of adults. The villain guarantees that Zheng Siming will follow the rules and will never embarrass the adults!"

Gao Jiaqin sneered and didn't say anything.

200 taels of silver, isn't that enough?

This one...... Dog officer!

"My lord, even if you kill Zheng Siming, what good will Lord Yu have? The Zheng family will never thank the adults for this, and the people will only scold the adults for being mediocre. Why do you want to do that?"

Wang Heyao muttered in his heart, but his face was respectful, Gao Jiaqin stood up and began to pace gently in the room.

After a moment, Gao Jiaqin stopped and turned his gaze to Wang Heyao.

"Wang Heyao, even if the official doesn't pursue it, if there is another killing of the official, how will the old man explain it to the court?"

Wang Heyao was relieved. Speaking of which, I just want to protect myself and be afraid of responsibility.

"My lord, you don't need to worry!"

Wang Heyao made a last-ditch move.

"Even if the lord goes to the court and defines Zheng Siming as a chaotic party, I'm afraid the court will not have time to deal with this matter."

Gao Jiaqin couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Why is this?"

Wang Heyao said in a low voice: "What else, naturally it is Ping. The matter of the king of the west. ”

Gao Jiaqin looked at Wang Heyao with a look of shock in his eyes.

"My lord, Wu Sangui's matter is getting more and more intense, the world is in turmoil, Geng Jingzhong is committed in the south, and Zhejiang cannot escape the incident. The Eight Banners are rotten, Wu Sangui's soldiers are strong and strong, this war has not lasted for seven or eight years, I am afraid it is inconclusive. My lord, the Zheng family's famous and wealthy family, is quite prestigious in the southeast, at this time, it is better to wait and see the changes and watch from the wall. ”

Gao Jiaqin's eyes were gloomy, and he thought quietly for a moment, wanting to take the paper to write, but found that the paper on the table was all wet.

"My lord, instead of you playing and killing Zheng Siming, no one cares. It's better to let Zheng Siming go and find out if there is no evidence. Think twice, adults!"

Gao Jiaqin rummaged through the cabinet, but did not find the paper, and was helpless, so he raised his head.

"Wang Heyao, you've been talking for a long time, are you tired?"

The stone in Wang Heyao's heart fell to the ground, and he glanced at Huang Zongxi, both secretly relieved.

If Gao Jiaqin could really give up writing this recital, Zheng Siming would be saved.

"The old man was thinking just now, whether to write this recital to the Shaoxing Mansion Yamen tonight, and his heart is very tormented!"

Gao Jiaqin shook his head and said, "It seems that this is all providence!" Mr. Lizhou came forward to vouch, and this fold will be waived!"

Gao Jiaqin's expression was relaxed, and he seemed to have really let go of the boulder in his heart.

Wang Heyao's heart suddenly brightened. In the final analysis, Gao Jiaqin still takes care of Huang Zongxi's face and the Zheng family's face. As for myself, I'm afraid I'm really a soy sauce player.

Pity the 100 taels of silver!

I have to pay back Huang Zongxi's 100 taels of silver!

"Adults are broad-minded, high-spirited, and can set an example for the world! The villain assures the adults that Zheng Siming will not make trouble!"

"If he makes trouble, your head will not be safe! Mr. Rizu's face doesn't work either! ”

Gao Jiaqin turned his head and smiled at Huang Zongxi.

"Mr. Liju, don't mind. The official didn't let Lu Xiancheng come, because he was afraid that there would be too many people, which was not good for Mr. and the official. Excuse me, sir! ”

Huang Zongxi smiled and bowed his hand slightly.

"My lord, the old man has not been here for today's events, and Gao County Ling has not seen the old man!"

Both of them laughed, and Gao Jiaqin's gaze paused for a moment on the "paper" on the table, and then he raised his head.

"Wang Heyao, do you have a meritorious reputation?"

Wang Heyao was about to answer, but Gao Jiaqin had already walked down, full of spring breeze.

"Mr. Lizhou, if you don't think the official is boring, stay and eat. This official has some arithmetic knowledge and wants to learn from Wang Heyao. ”

"Everything is up to the adults!"

Huang Zongxi bowed. Sending the Buddha to the west, the matter has come to this, and I don't care about this moment.

"Adults, villains are disrespectful."

Wang Heyao was helpless and could only bow down.

Zheng Siming's life can be held in Gao Jiaqin's hands, so he can't be careless.

He is a poor scholar, and he has a reputation there! What does it mean for Gao Jiaqin to ask this?

The moonlight was hazy, and when it was approaching, Wang Heyao and Huang Zongxi came out and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Zheng Siming's life may have been saved.

"Nephew, do you have a place to live in the city?"

Huang Zongxi's expression didn't seem to be tired.

It seems that he has a good health, has practiced martial arts for many years, and his body is strong, which is different from ordinary people.

"Don't worry, sir, the little nephew has his own place to go. Today's grace, and Yao in mind, he will repay it every day! ”

Wang Heyao gave a deep salute.

The Wind Knows the Grass! With Huang Zongxi's situation on the blacklist of the Manchu court, being able to come out to help Zheng Siming and work hard is already benevolent and righteous.

"Virtuous nephew, there is a long road ahead, you have to cherish it!"

"Mr. go slowly, third brother go slowly!"

Huang Zongxi said goodbye to Wang Heyao, got into the sedan chair, and his face immediately darkened.

"Dog...... Official! ”

Huang Zongxi, who is famous all over the world, is worthless in front of Gao Jiaqin's seven-grade county order, and he still has to give silver, where is his face?

"Daddy, the Tartar is in charge, this time is different from the past, let's look away!"

His son Huang Baijia whispered on the side.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. That's it, that's it, let's go back. ”

Huang Zongxi waved his hand and closed his eyes.

Huang Baijia looked at the county government and spat on the ground.

Thinking about what the Huang family used to be, his father was famous all over the country, and those court officials and doctors of the former Ming Dynasty were also respectful to their father.

Shiyi has changed time, and the tiger has fallen in Pingyang, and now he has to spend money to ask for a small county order in a low voice. It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Wang Heyao, the-stirring stick, jumped up and down, fanning the flames, I don't know how his father values him so much?

"Zhuguo, what do you think of Wang Heyao?"

In the sedan chair, Huang Zongxi's voice suddenly floated out.

"Daddy, what do you mean ......"

Huang Baijia was ignorant and didn't understand what his father meant, so he could only answer subconsciously.

"This person doesn't learn anything, he has no tutor, and his fox friends and dog friends, something will happen sooner or later!"

Huang Baijia's words made Huang Zongxi in the sedan chair silent for a moment, and then he was quiet.

"Most of my friends are passed on from the Zhongjie, and the love is endless. Let him be. ”

Huang Zongxi and Wang Heyao said goodbye and left, and Gao Jiaqin returned to the study, facing the candle on the table.

As for the "mathematical materials" in front of him, he didn't even look at them, and he didn't bother to look at them.

The door creaked, and a tall young woman entered, with red face and black hair, full of amorous style, with a hint of girlish youth.

"Daddy, what are you doing in a daze?"

The girl came behind Gao Jiaqin and began to rub Gao Jiaqin's shoulders.

"Qing'er, do you have anything to do with Daddy?"

Gao Jiaqin enjoyed his daughter's hospitality and asked with a smile.

Don't ask, it's silver.

"Daddy, Li Ruonan sent a letter, saying that she was about to leave for Jiangnan and asked her daughter to come over to play with her. You say, does your daughter want some money and a few sets of clothes to change of? ”

The girl said softly, Gao Jiaqin laughed, his eyes were gloomy.

"Qing'er, if you want silver flowers, you want silver flowers, and you say it so high-sounding!"

Li Ruonan is the beloved daughter of Li Zhifang, the new governor of Zhejiang, Li Zhifang was ordered to go to Zhejiang to quell the rebellion, but he didn't expect to bring his daughter.

He and Li Zhifang only had the same year, but their daughters became friends, and the relationship invisibly improved.

"Daddy, say it quickly, do you agree or not?"

Gao Qing stopped rubbing his shoulders and began to be coquettish.

"Good, good, give, give! 20 taels of silver, that's enough! ”

Gao Jiaqin said with a smile, took out two ingots of silver from the drawer, and put them on the table.

No need to ask, 20 taels of silver will definitely not satisfy her daughter's appetite.

"It's only 20 taels of silver! No, Daddy, give me more! Just buying gifts is more than that! ”

Seeing the two ingots of silver on the table, Gao Qingmei smiled, and soon cried bitter.

"This is for you, and Daddy will prepare a gift."

Sure enough, Gao Jiaqin shook his head with a smile.

The daughter is both talented and good-looking, except that she is bigger, but she is too snobbish.

"That's too little! At least 50 taels! ”

Gao Qing began to bargain.

"50 taels of silver is fine. However, you have to answer Daddy's question. If Daddy is satisfied, Daddy will satisfy you! ”

Thinking of Zheng Siming's case, Gao Jiaqin's heart moved, and he began to test his daughter.

In other words, he wanted to give himself an excuse to make up his mind.

"Daddy, you're talking about Zheng Siming's case, right?"

Gao Qing walked to the table, picked up the "mathematical data" on the table, glanced at it, rolled his eyes, and asked.

"How do you know?"

Gao Jiaqin was stunned. Before he could speak, his daughter guessed eight or nine.

"Daddy, is this something unclear?"

Gao Qing smiled softly, pointed to the "materials" on the table, and then pointed to the drawer.

"Daddy has only been in office for two months, and the only major case is the case of Zheng Siming's father and son. Mr. Lizhou and the descendant surnamed Wang came over tonight, definitely for Zheng Siming's case. ”

Gao Qing looked at his father and smiled slightly.

"Daddy, you are either hesitating to report Zheng Siming's case, or you are thinking about whether to let Zheng Siming go. I guess that's right. ”

"Then tell me, how should Daddy deal with this case?"

Gao Jiaqin picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

He wanted to see what this always wise daughter would think.

"Daddy, the money has been collected, don't pretend, just push the boat down the river."

Gao Qing whispered softly, as if he was confident.

"Mr. Lizhou is a guarantee, and the silver is offered, do you want to be an enemy of the gentry of Yuyao? Li Zhifang went south, the governor of Zhejiang's military affairs, and this war will definitely be protracted. Zheng Siming has no one and no money, what can he do to rebel? Even if Zheng Siming wants to make a rebellion, it will take time, either to be exterminated by the imperial court, or to be completed. My father watched from the wall, and he was wise enough to protect himself. ”

Gao Qing smiled slightly and pointed to the drawer.

"Daddy, at that time, no matter who wins or loses, maybe you have already returned to your hometown."

"You, what you say is similar to Wang Heyao."

Gao Jiaqin pondered for a moment, and took out a few more ingots of silver from the drawer.

"You're such a little money fan! 50 taels, save some flowers. If Daddy's guess is right, you must have saved a lot of money in private. ”

Gao Qing's face turned red and he laughed embarrassedly. She grabbed the silver and smiled.

"Thank you, Dad! Only dad loves his daughter the most! ”

"Flim Flam! You're not young, it's time to think about your marriage. ”

Gao Jiaqin looked at the slim daughter in front of him and said it hesitantly.

"That Wang and Yao are talented, and they have real talent and real learning, which is ......"

"Daddy, that king or something is a commoner's son, how can he be worthy of our official eunuchs?"

Gao Qing shook his head slightly, vetoed his father's proposal, and also pronounced Wang Heyao's death sentence.

"What I'm looking for is naturally a famous family, brocade clothes and jade food, and even Zhong Ming Ding food. The daughter is used to living a comfortable life, and she can't stand it. Therefore, this husband has to be picked by her daughter. ”

When his daughter left, Gao Jiaqin shook his head and sighed.

The daughter has her own opinions, and I don't know if she can find a good son-in-law?

That Wang and Yao are good, and they suit his appetite very much. However, what the daughter said is right, Wangheng is right to Yu and the family, Wang Heyao is a grass people, how can he match the daughter of the Shangguan family?

As for that Zheng Siming, for the sake of Yinzi and Huang Zongxi's face, let's be a favor and let him go.
