Not to mention how Li Yan discussed with the lady when he got home, and how Shu's communicated with the two ends of the second room separately, only Xiao Qian's quietly asked the maid to send three or four satin cloud yarns to her house, which made her happy all night.

Two days later, Li Su rushed back from the provincial capital of Nanchang.

There he met with Tang Xuan, the political envoy of the political envoy Si Zuo, who was also from the Hanlin University scholar Wang Yemen, but Li Su was a Jinshi of Renxuan for five years, and Tang Xuan was for the eleventh year of Renxuan.

Tang Xuan, who has a friendship with the same family, of course, received him warmly, on the one hand, he reassured Li Su that the Chen family's case would not have any impact on the Li family;

On the other hand, he expressed his understanding of Li Su's idea of seeking a revival, saying that the emperor had just taken charge of the death of the Empress Dowager, and now the situation in the court was delicate, and advised him not to be in a hurry, and to wait a little longer.

It is said that after the death of the Empress Dowager, he took sick leave to recuperate at home, and the emperor also sent Zhongguan and the imperial doctor to visit twice.

Alas, this year is eventful, senior brother should not move lightly, forbearance is the best! ”

"Oh? Is Yang Shizhen's old thing going to be unbearable? Li Su rubbed his hands a little excitedly.

Back then, he was pulled down by Master Yang (who was still a scholar at that time), so he has always hated it in his heart.

"He has gone through four dynasties and controlled the government for 20 years, and now it's finally my turn to see the dawn!"

"Brother Yan Ruo (Li Suzi) still has to be patient, don't show your attitude."

Tang Xuan has been thriving in officialdom all these years, and he has already developed a steady bearing, seeing that he can't help but look like his eyebrows are flying, he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

As soon as he said this, Li Su was immediately shocked and quickly said that it was convergence, and asked softly: "That...... What about Yang Taige, how is he lately? ”

Yang Taige refers to the Inner Academy Pingzhang Political Affairs, Deqing Pavilion Hallym University scholar Yang Min, he is Emperor Xuan ascended the throne in the second year into the Inner Academy to become a member of the cabinet of the three dynasties of the old minister, and Yang Shizhen is called the second Yang of this dynasty, is also a very influential figure.

Tang Xuan replied in a low voice: "Although Yang Taige and Yang Taishi are both ministers of the first emperor and have controlled the cabinet for many years, their styles and political views are quite different.

Yang Shizhen does not tolerate other people's objections, and is stubborn in any rules set by Taizu at the beginning, and more and more scholars have offended in recent years, so the big tree of the Empress Dowager has fallen, and he will be soon!

Yang Taige is a kind-hearted person and a much more sleek person, and some courtiers who were suppressed by the Taishi were protected by him, including Brother Yan Ruo.

He is eleven years younger than the Grand Master, and I think His Majesty will rely on him more in the future, at least for five or six years of grace in the future.

If the elder brother wants to recover, he might as well send someone to move around and move around with Taige, so that he and the teacher (Wang Ye) have the friendship of the township party, although the teacher has already driven west the year before last, and the affection should still be there. ”

Li Su got his guidance, and he had the bottom in his heart. He also asked him if he could try to take care of Chan and his family during the exile.

Who knew that Tang Xuan sighed and said: "Senior brother, you and I are from the same family, and I can understand this friendship for my original family." But ......,"

He looked at the direction of the door and said in a lower voice: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Chen family, you can't take care of it!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Su was surprised in his heart and hurriedly asked.

The newspaper said that the emperor had rejected the opinions of the Dali Temple in Nanjing, and the edict reprimanded them for being too lenient.

So yesterday, the new mansion report arrived, and in addition to the main offender's sentence, the three generations of the direct family were cut to the real side of Yulin Town.

In addition to the original sentence, the three accomplices moved to Liaodong Town and changed their nationality to serve in the military.

As for Lord Chen, he was exiled to Lanzhou! ”

"Huh? This, this is also too ....... Li Su opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say it.

Since the Emperor of this dynasty, there have not been many civil servants who have been sentenced to confiscate the army, and they have generally been exiled from light hair.

Both are punishments for long-distance migration, but exile is only a local confinement and is not allowed to leave the country, and you must report to the yamen every month.

It's different to fill the army, it's sent to the frontier military town to serve!

The men were used as auxiliaries and artisan laborers, and the women were used for the military households to wash and sew and mend the goods, which was a class inferior to even ordinary soldiers, and the exile was generally limited or pardoned.

The army is not dead, the family is "not open", and there are even generations of soldiers who belong to the whole family and cannot be counted.

So Li Su was shocked when he heard Tang Shenzheng's introduction, this is definitely the plan to let Chen Shi'an die in Gansu!

"Your Majesty will ......?"

"Yes." Tang Xuan told him with certainty: "And the Holy Lord has already approved it, and it is estimated that there will be news in Guixian County in the past few days to ask for the Chen family to be escorted to the provincial capital, and then go to Nanjing by Shuojiang." He sighed: "That's why I said Brother Yan Ruo should not have this thought." The wood is already in the boat, who can make His Majesty change his mind? ”

"Di Xuan (Tang Xuanzi) Heh, this, why is this?" Li Su sighed: "Chen Gong has actually just taken office, this matter is really ......!" ”

"Humph!" Tang Xuan stroked his proud long hair and sneered: "I see, which lieutenant chewed his tongue in front of His Majesty, these things are not enough to succeed and more than to fail!" ”

Tang Xuan knew that in fact, many people in the civil service felt that Chen Shi'an was wronged, but no one dared to stand up for him.

This denunciation is a great credit to Su Mingju, the eunuch of Nanjing, and the inner eunuchs are watching with wide eyes like a treasure.

At this time, any civil official who speaks is equivalent to jumping into the well!

When he returned home from Nanchang, Li Su hesitated whether to tell the second room the news of the Chen Mansion, but he felt that the will had not arrived, and it seemed inappropriate to leak the news from his own home.

was hesitating, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that Fan Taizun had sent someone. "It's strange, the county knows that I'm back, but why did he send someone on this big night?"

He was suspicious. Willing to shirk, Aunt Wen persuaded him not to take sugar, after all, the county officials were in charge, and Li Su had to come out in a robe.

When I went to the front hall, I saw that it was Master Sun, who was in charge of the criminal name in the yali. "Eh, it's so late, how can you labor Mr. Sun to make a trip? I'm really sorry. ”

Li Su knew that this person had been in the yamen for almost ten years and was the longest-serving official in the county, so he hurriedly stepped forward to clench his fists and confess.

"It's me who is abrupt, Brother Yan Ruo has been tired all the way back from Nanchang, and I still come to disturb, although it is out of order, it is still very inappropriate!"

Master Sun's usual skin smile is not smiling, and after the exchange of gifts, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "I am entrusted by the county lord, and I will bring a letter to my brother on the way home." ”

"Oh?" Li Su was inexplicable, took it and saw that the fire paint was well sealed, and then said with a smile: "In addition, does the county have something to ask Mr. to bring to me?" ”

Master Sun stroked his beard and smiled: "Exactly." The county lord said: National law, family affairs, with Yan Ruo's ability, you must know the importance and urgency. Brother Wang's careful analysis, don't lose big because of small things. Be sure to! ”

"Huh?" Li Su was even more confused, he spread his hands: "This ......, can Mr. tell me the inside story of the first and second two?" I really don't understand it below, under it! ”

"Brother Tai Mo is nervous, Fan Gong said, it is detailed, please go back and read the letter carefully, and you will naturally know. It's not early, so don't bother much, so I'll leave. ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, leaving Li Su to turn around in the hall, but he went out and left.

Li Su took the letter and returned to Aunt Wen's room, and then sat down to open it and read it. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, then he jumped up again and shouted, "Oops! ”

"What's wrong?" Aunt Wen hurriedly came over when she heard the sound and took the letter from him, but there were only three pieces of paper. There was no sound for a while.

"Wu Niang, what do you think?" Li Su asked by calling Aunt Wen's nickname.

"Who sent this letter?"

"The county sent Mr. Sun from the torture room to bring it to me."

Aunt Wen sneered and held up the piece of paper at the bottom: "This is too respectful to invite you to have lunch at the Shuifu Restaurant outside the Houya at noon tomorrow, do you go or not?" ”

"This ......, I think since it shouldn't be a Hongmen banquet outside the ya, just go, he won't take me on the spot anyway!" Li Su glared and said.

Aunt Wen smiled "sigh", held up the other two one successively, and motioned to him: "These two are the tax payment of the Li family in the past five years, and the total amount of tax payable if the three families are calculated separately."

When the two are compared, the difference is obvious. The county respects this to tell you that it is inappropriate for the Li family to only pay taxes according to one house so far, and it is even illegal.

Therefore, he has something to say to his husband tomorrow. Since it is a discussion and talk, how can it be a Hongmen banquet? ”

"Oh!" Li Su's heart suddenly became clear. "Lady is smart! So, what do you think he has to say to me? Do I need to pay back taxes? ”

"If it's still a family, how can it be paid? If you say that you want to make up the payment, it means that you have divided the family and property. ”

"What? This old thing is trying to force me to break up? Did he do this county order! Li Su was furious.

"Don't be angry, husband. That Fan Taizun has always had a good relationship with us, and it is really inexplicable that he came to such a show today.

The husband has been seeking revenge, and he also knows this, how can he fight for these taxes for the court in the future? The concubine thought there must be a mystery in it! ”

"What's the mystery?"

Aunt Wen didn't answer, and pointed her finger in the direction of the second and third rooms. Li Su's eyes widened suddenly, and then his brows wrinkled together.

He squinted his eyes and thought about it, what Aunt Wen was referring to was really possible.

After a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "Okay, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Tomorrow at noon, I'll go to see what the hell the 'county lord' is doing, and it will not be difficult for the person behind it to be revealed.

I think I've worked so hard to run this family for so many years, Wu Niang, you have also paid a lot, if you want to don't admit it, or don't have to face back, then I, Li Yanruo, am not easy to bully! ”

"It's not that powerful." Aunt Wen comforted: "At most, they just want to borrow the prestige of Lord Fan, I don't think they need to take it too seriously."

The third uncle is a thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, and the second grandmother's ears are also soft, what big thing can they achieve together?

Since the county is in the front, you might as well be generous, but just remember the phrase 'separation of property is not divided'. ”

"Is there a division of production?" Li Su's eyes rolled, and he suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Wu Niang is really my female Zhuge , with you, you don't have to worry about your husband!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and hugged his waist, and walked towards the inner room in a hurry, and the big girl behind him hurriedly blasted the maids out, and hurriedly put the screen in place and closed the door.

Inside, there are already red candles waiting for dawn and spring.

The meeting between Li Su and Fan Xianling was full of drama, first the two greeted and greeted each other cordially, then sat down to talk amicably, and then Li Su swore that he would never have the idea of monopolizing family wealth.

Of course, Fan Xianling lost no time in affirming Li Su's character and friendship with his brothers, but he also vaguely mentioned those who evaded the unpaid taxes.

Li Su hurriedly asked for remedies, and Fan County took advantage of the situation to propose three divisions of property, one to avoid gossip, two to make up the tax, and three to maintain the family.

Li Su said that he would do it well, but there is a condition called "separation of production without separation"!

Fan County Ling laughed when he heard it, as long as you agree to divide the property, what does it matter to me whether to divide the property or not?

So he said that you can discuss this at home, as long as there is no longer a problem of touching the law when collecting taxes here in the future, you can do anything. Li Su was overjoyed, and hurriedly quietly handed over a silver ticket to the county to smile.

This matter is basically a foregone conclusion at this point, under the mediation of Fan County, the parents of the three families were summoned to the same hall to discuss, and the second room was accompanied by Li Shuo because his sister-in-law Wulang was underage.

Everyone gathered in the Houyahua Hall to discuss how to operate this matter.

There were also two old men in attendance, one was Li Wuqi, the patriarch of the Yugan Li clan, and the other was Li Tonglu, the patriarch of the clan.

Although Li Wuqi's family only has 30 acres of land, his seniority is high, and he and the one who was given the archway by the first emperor are uncles and nephews, and Li Dan has to call him grandfather.

Li Tonglu is a little far away from this branch, and he can barely be regarded as Li Wuqi's cousin who has not come out of Wufu, but this old Xiucai has been a gentleman in clan studies for 30 years, and he can be called highly respected.

Generally, if there is a big or small matter in the clan, he will be invited to be present to testify or adjudicate.

Of course, people will not come in vain, and the silver for the elderly will still be collected later.
