Chapter Seventy-Four: Planting Pears
After retiring, Ma Yushi was dragged out of the yamen by Yan Feng, and after the officials received overtime pay, they happily went back to their respective homes, leaving only Zhang Xiu and others to gather together.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's reward also came as promised.
[God has the virtue of a good life, you successfully released Ma Yushi, and rewarded 20 years of corruption experience]
[God has the virtue of a good life, you successfully released Liu Laohan, and rewarded you with 20 years of experience in grinding tofu]
[Heaven has the virtue of a good life, you successfully released Qiu Rong, rewarded with a thousand years of life]
Looking at the three newly obtained rewards, Zhang Xiu was stunned.
No, does it take experience to embezzle...... Ahem, do you still need experience to grind tofu?
What about Qiu Rong's thousand-year lifespan?
Glancing at Qiu Rong, Zhang Xiu frowned and asked, "Miss Qiu Rong, what are your plans for the future?" ”
Qiu Rong saluted Zhang Xiu: "If you go back to your lordship, the people's daughter's wish has been fulfilled, go back to my hometown Dahuaishu Village, take another look at my parents, and prepare to go to the underworld to be reincarnated." ”
Da Huai Shu Village, he knows, in Guobei, Jinhua County, because there is a century-old big locust tree and got its name, when inspecting the disaster, he also went there to distribute food, is a very simple and peaceful small village.
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, feeling that Qiu Rong's fate was probably that after she entered the underworld, she no longer cared, and asked Weng and her daughter-in-law to take advantage of the darkness to hurry as soon as possible.
A few days later, the Governor of Jiangnan and Xinke Hanlin were sent to the imperial court, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.
The emperor on the Jinluan Palace was stunned for a moment after listening to the recital, and then he was overjoyed, and said three good words in a row: "Good, good!" I have such an upright imperial history in Daxia, which should be the prosperity of my Daxia Society, and the peace of the country and the people! ”
Prime Minister Pang Tong's two cousins and a cousin were killed at the same time, and he gritted his teeth in anger, and said: "Shengshang, how can a six-grade imperial history have such a big burden, this matter must be strange!" ”
The emperor looked at Pang Tong unhappily: "Huh? What does the prime minister mean by this, can't I have a royal history that is upright and not afraid of power!! ”
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to say: Of course not, isn't this a well-known thing!
But seeing the emperor's dark face, Pang Tong immediately stopped talking, and said angrily: "What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, Ma Yushi has made a meritorious decision on the case, and I implore the Holy Lord to transfer him back to the court!" ”
He must ask himself how his cousin and nephew died!!
The emperor's face paleled slightly, and he bowed his head slightly: "Yes, according to my will, Jiangnan Province Yushi Ma Piqing asked for the people's life, and he was meritorious in judging the case, and he was promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Punishment, and he returned to Beijing immediately!" ”
At this time, Zhao Deyan, the servant of the ministry, came out of the ranks, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order, Ma Yushi is afraid that he will not be able to come to the capital." ”
The Emperor wondered, "Why is that?" ”
Zhao Deyan said with a strange expression: "Ma Yushi committed suicide by hanging a beam at home on the third day after he broke the case, and this is definitely not someone's deliberate revenge, his seventeen concubines all watched him write a suicide note with tears in his eyes, and witnessed him hanging." ”
"However, according to his concubines, after he returned home, he was worried all day long, and he muttered that the prime minister would definitely not let me go, and then finally collapsed and chose to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and there may be other inside stories."
Pang Tong said angrily: "Zhao Deyan, what do you mean by this, do you think this is the work of this prime minister?" ”
Zhao Deyan said with a smile: "The lower officials haven't said that, the prime minister should not be suspicious." ”
Seeing the two arguing as before, the emperor was distraught for a while, and waved his hand: "Scatter the dynasty!" ”
The emperor looked at the distant backs of the ministers and asked, "Sanbao, do you say that what Zhao Deyan said is true?" ”
The great eunuch Sanbao hesitated for a moment and said: "If it is said that the prime minister killed Ma Yushi because of revenge, it is understandable, but with the prime minister's means, if he did it, he would definitely not leave so many horses' feet......"
The emperor raised his face a little depressed: "I'm asking, does Ma Yushi really have seventeen concubines, and there are actually more than me." ”
Three Treasure Eunuchs: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Zhang Xiu also sent people to Ma Yushi's funeral, and sent several plaques such as "Judge the case like a god" and "Ask for life for the people" at Ma Yushi's funeral, and the people who came to mourn were stunned.
Not to mention other people, even Ma Yushi's family is a little suspicious, Ma Yushi has had to disguise himself as a corrupt official in order to break into corrupt officials and collect criminal evidence over the years?
After eating, Zhang Xiu was in a good mood, walking on the street, looking at the gradually prosperous county, came to a pear stall, grabbed a pear and took a bite, took the pear and turned around and left.
Seeing this, an old man who didn't know how long he had been with Zhang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and he also walked to the pear stall, followed Zhang Xiu's appearance, grabbed a pear, and said with a smile: "Thank you, donor!" ”
Just as he was about to turn around, the bearded young man who sold pears grabbed his wrist and used his hand hard, for fear that he would run away, and shouted with a black face: "Dao Chief, give money first, one copper plate!" ”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "The man took your pears just now, and you didn't care, why did you ask for money as soon as you took it?"
Besides, you have hundreds of pears in this car, and the poor road only asks for you, which is not much loss for you, so why do you have such a big temper? ”
The young man said angrily: "Can you be the same as him, do you know who that person is just now?" ”
With a flick of his hand, the old Taoist priest easily waved the young man's wrist away and said: "The old Taoist is a human being, he is also a human being, they are both one nose and two eyes, what is the difference?" ”
Zhang Xiu stopped when he heard the quarrel, turned around and walked over, and when he heard the words of the old Taoist, he couldn't help but be slightly happy: "Of course this is different." ”
Lao Dao looked at Zhang Xiu with a scrutinizing gaze, withdrew his gaze from his official uniform, and said, "Oh, what's the difference? Isn't it because you have an official position that they are afraid of you and dare not ask you for money? ”
Zhang Xiu shook the pears in his hand and said with a smile: "That's not it, he didn't ask me for money, just because...... This pear is grown in my yamen! Yan Feng, put this old man who wants to eat white food into prison, lock it up for three days and then release it! ”
Looking at the people who came up to point at him and looked at him with disdain, Lao Dao looked confused: "@#¥%¥#@......"
This development is a bit wrong, isn't it, how can it be exactly the same as what I just thought? I'm going to cast a spell and plant a pear tree, and I'm going to use a spell to trick the dog officials who oppress the people!"
How did things suddenly become the way they are??!!
