Chapter 181: The Sheep Cart (1)
This person is Xun Bao. He and Xiahoumen used to be in the East Palace Prince's Mansion, one was the prince washing horses, and the other was the prince's housekeeper. After Sima Zhen ascended the throne, they also left the East Palace and found a new position, Xun Bao was appointed as the court lieutenant and supervisor, but Xiahoumen was appointed as Shang Shucheng who Shu Yan failed to get.
"It's not a high level, the current court lieutenant supervisor. What about you, how did you take off Shang Shulang's five-o'clock clothes, wear this outfit, and what are you doing on the street? Oh, I think about it, I heard that you have been transferred out of Shangshutai and made a small order in Taifu Temple, it turns out to be true. It's a pity, it's a pity. How can such a turbid official do it? β
Shu Yan listened to Xun Bao's words of sympathy or ridicule, and smiled: "I know that you children look down on turbid officials. There is no distinction between official and turbid. In my eyes, there is only a distinction between clean officials and corrupt officials, and the so-called clean officials and turbid officials are completely carved by you noble families. The officials in the world all serve the imperial court, but their responsibilities are different. Today, my duty as a turbid official is to picket illegal driving, no matter who the other party is, whether it is a clean official or a turbid official, a scholar or a poor family. β
"You picket the lawless, and the calf carts and carriages on the street are for you to investigate, why do you want to stop me? I'm an car, and the car is from your car government department, do you dare to make it privately? Open your eyes and take a good look, my car was given by the emperor, where is it lawless? Xun Bao said confidently.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with this car, the problem is the people who are in the car."
"You're saying my family doesn't deserve to own this car?"
"The family is prominent, and Ling Zun is the Guanglu doctor with the silver seal and blue ribbon of the dynasty, so of course he is qualified to ride. However, Ling Zun is Ling Zun, you are you, since this kind of vehicle is given to important ministers by the imperial court, there are certain restrictions, and it must be taken by yourself, and you cannot borrow it from others without permission or divert it for other purposes, even if it is your own son, it is not allowed. If you let it go, today the son of a certain prince will go to the song tower, tomorrow the brother of a certain prince can take it to hunting, and may also lend it to relatives to fill the faΓ§ade, in the long run, where is the majesty of the court? β
Xun Bao was originally a person who was good at change and articulate, but in the face of Shu Yan's righteousness and strictness, he was speechless. But he was not afraid, thinking that it was just a penalty, and Shu Yan didn't dare to do anything to himself.
"Collect the car." Shu Yan said to Zhang Chi and Liu Bao.
"What? Do you dare to take my car? Xun Bao exclaimed.
"I act according to the decree of the imperial court, why don't I dare?"
"You-" Xun Bao pointed at Shu Yan with his finger, he had no choice but to move out of his father to oppress people, "My father is in an important position, and he has to listen to the emperor's call at all times, and he is old, in case His Majesty suddenly summons him today, but he has no car by his side, and he misses the major affairs of the court, can you afford this responsibility?" β
"Don't press me with this kind of talk, your family has a lot of vehicles, and you are still worried about having no car to ride?"
Of course, there is no shortage of various vehicles in the Xun family, but in terms of arrangement, how can those cars be compared with Anche? Xun Bao scratched his head anxiously, his father was not very willing to lend him the car, if he really detained the car, how could he explain it to his father?
At this time, except for He Gongzi, there were already many people around who were watching the excitement, all of whom wanted to see if Shu Yan's strength was hard enough to dare to touch the powerful. It turned out that he really dared, and this Xun Gongzi had already shown helplessness. But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting, and another safe car came. When Xun Bao saw it, it seemed that a savior had come, and he hurriedly approached the car window and said, "Uncle Shi." β
Shi Hui saw that there were so many people around, so he asked Xun Bao the reason. Xun Bao told the situation and asked Uncle Shi to intercede for himself. The reason why he asked Shi Hui for help was because he knew that Shu Yan was from Ruyin, and Shi Hui was the Zhongzheng official of Ruyin.
It was a small request, but it was a little difficult. He knew that Shu Yan had always been upright, but the Xun family and the Shi family were world friends, and it was difficult to refuse because of the begging of his nephew. These two young people have some relationship with themselves, and it is not impossible for them to mediate as elders, thinking of this, they got out of the car with the support of their entourage.
Shu Yan saw Shi Hui, although he didn't like it, he had to meet him politely. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I should be like this in terms of official position and age.
Shi Hui knew that it was not easy to speak in public, so he motioned to his subordinates to drive the crowd of onlookers farther away, and then said to Shu Yan: "I already understand the situation, although Xun Gongzi did not do it right, but it is not a big deal, besides, everyone knows each other, how about you open the net?" β
Of course, Shu Yan was unmoved: "Shi Hou ordered, I don't dare to disobey in the next book, but on the matter, let's avoid respecting this matter." β
Shi Hui saw that Shu Yan didn't give himself face, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "You are really stubborn, you don't know how thick the sky is." I'll tell you the truth, as Xun Guanglu, your boss Tai Servant Qing also wants to give him some face. Even if you detain the car, you only need to send someone to your boss to inform you, and the problem will be solved. You're just a small order of hundreds of stones, why bother with your mantis arm as a car? β
"What to do with the servant, that's his business, I don't care. My duty is to impound the illegal vehicles and take them to Taifu Temple. I don't think there is any need to delay this matter any longer, although the officials below are not big, but they are very busy, so I will not accompany them. β
Shu Yan forcibly put the car away, ignoring how angry Shi Hui and Xun Bao were, and turned around and walked in front of He Hao. He Hao witnessed the whole process just now, and said with great admiration: "Shu Guanren is really iron-faced and selfless, not emotional, not afraid of power, whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, gentleman or cloth, they are all treated equally. There is nothing to say in the following, let it be decided. β
Seeing that He Gongzi confessed his guilt sincerely, Shu Yan was very happy, so he said to him: "The ox and the cart should have been confiscated together, but I read that you sincerely repent, let me spare it, I will only take the cart away, and your four cows will be brought back by you." β
"Since Shu Guanren is so reasonable, why am I not a bold person? There is no shortage of these four cows at home, just like you said just now, the main job of the cows is to plough the fields, and today I will let them come to the field to disarm and return to the field. Presumably, there must be a lot of rural people from outside the city present, so let them take it back. After He Hao finished speaking, he shouted at the crowd of onlookers: "If any of you are a farmer, you can come and bring a cow back without taking a penny." β
Giving away a big cow for nothing, people didn't react at this time. How can it be? How can there be such a thing in the world? At first, no one dared to step forward, but then a few bold people, seeing that Shu Yan was present, tried to respond, and then everyone flocked up. Ordinary people may not be able to afford a cow after ten years of hard work, and now they are giving it away for nothing, who doesn't fight for such a good thing? Not only the peasants who entered the city, but also the people in the city clamored for it.
In this way, there was chaos, but He Gongzi didn't know who to give it to. However, this can not be concealed from Shu Yan, he carefully distinguishes which are merchants, which are craftsmen, and which are peasants by virtue of everyone's appearance and clothing; Which of the peasants were rich and which were poor, and finally four poor peasants were chosen and the cattle were awarded to them.
It's just that he entered Luoyang City by chance, so he took a cow back. The four of them were like a dream, and they had to pinch their thighs and the thighs of the cows from time to time along the way to make sure that they were real.
It was not too early, Shu Yan drove the confiscated vehicle back to Taifu Temple, and only waited for the next day to continue to inspect the streets. For a few days, it was quite effective. Everyone knows that this newly appointed Che Fu Ling enforces the law impartially and does not show favoritism, and no one dares to rush into chaos as before.
On this day, Shu Yan and the three of them started from Xuanyang Gate and patrolled all the way north along Tongtuo Street, the first royal road in Luoyang. Suddenly, I saw a fast horse galloping on the opposite side, the horse was a familiar jujube red, but the person was dressed in a gorgeous woman's costume, and the veil was on his head. The horse went straight to Shu Yan's cart, getting closer and closer, but there was no sign of slowing down, Shu Yan hurriedly pulled the bridle and stopped the car. Seeing that they were about to collide, the horse turned its head sharply, swept the head of Shu Yan's horse, turned into an alley on the right, and at the same time threw a puff of dust to Shu Yan and the three of them.
Zhang Chi scolded while covering his nose: "Whose wild woman is this, wilder than a man." Tongluo Street is still running so fast, don't let me meet her again, otherwise I will be brought to justice directly. β
Liu Bao laughed at him and said: "A few days ago, in the face of those children of the family and many wealthy slaves, I didn't see you rushing in front, but now facing a woman on horseback, but here you are talking big." People are horsebackers, we are in charge of cars, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so we can't control people at all. β
The three of them continued to walk forward, and just as they reached the next alley, they saw the horse rushing straight through the alley. Shu Yan couldn't dodge, it was already close at hand, and the woman lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse's front hooves stood up and hit the carriage of the chariot. This move was very dangerous, and even Shu Yan was taken aback. The woman pulled the reins, put down the horse's hooves, and circled the horse around Shu Yan's car. Shu Yan suddenly shouted: "Xiao Mo, what are you messing around? β
The woman lifted the veil, "Brother Shu, how do you know it's me?" β
"I'm all too familiar with your riding posture, and I've long suspected that it's you, but this woman's dress has deceived me. Is it still wrong that you caught a glimpse of a scar on the horse's butt while you were spinning around just now? β
Zhang Chi and Liu Bao were stunned for a long time, they didn't know how their boss could be so familiar with a young woman, and later learned that this person was Jiang Xiaomo, who was in charge of the Treasure Administration.
Xiao Mo got off the horse and jumped onto Shu Yan's carriage again.
"What are you doing, my car is too small to accommodate two people, it's not as comfortable as you riding alone, hurry up."
"What are you going to do? Although this car is small, it has a wide field of vision, the key is that I haven't sat on it yet, how can I not give it a try? β
"Put a ready-made car, why huddle together, it just so happens that I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, so let's take what we want." After Shu Yan finished speaking, he jumped directly from the cart to the horse.
"Y-you boring person!" Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan and said with a smug look. Although she was familiar with horseback riding, she was not good at driving, and she drove the car crookedly.
"Don't drag the reins left and right, this horse knows how to go, and you don't need to deliberately control it under normal circumstances."
Xiao Mo listened to Shu Yan's words, and let the horse go freely, and it was really much more stable.
"You still murder me, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, a man pretending to be a woman, and making such a dangerous move, it's just nonsense!"
After Shu Yan moved to Taifu Temple, the distance was far away, and he was busy with business, Xiao Mo didn't see him for many days, and his heart was very empty. I also heard that Shu Yan strictly investigated illegal driving, and felt fresh, so he grabbed a loophole and ran to him. But on a whim, he brought a veil and borrowed a suit of clothes from the eldest princess of Yong'an, wanting to tease Shu Yan.
"I heard that you had a new errand and thought it was fun, so I came to you."
"That should be normal, why bother with women's clothing?"
"Do you think I look good in women's clothes?"
Did you become a eunuch and even the essence of psychology changed? This Jiang Xiaomo actually doesn't care about purification, and he still shines in women's clothes! Shu Yan didn't answer him, but asked, "Where did you get your women's clothes?" β
"Of course it's the eldest princess of Yong'an, eh-" Xiao Mo still grabbed it and asked, "You said that this same set of clothes, which of the two of us looks better?" β
"I haven't seen the true face of the eldest princess, how can I compare? However, you are really like a beautiful woman in this dress. β
This inadvertent big truth made Xiao Mo's heart feel like honey, sweet and shy, and even confused, and involuntarily the deer bumped into each other. She hurriedly settled down and changed the subject: "Well, after your governance, it has really worked, the streets are much more orderly than before, and even there is less congestion." β
"The chaos is caused by people like you, wearing the clothes of a princess and riding a horse to break around, not only disturbing the order, but also being disrespectful, but unfortunately neither of these things are within the scope of my law enforcement, otherwise, I would have brought you to justice a long time ago. Don't take off this outfit yet! β
Xiao Mo obediently took off the women's clothes and returned to her original outfit. She didn't know if Shu Yan was joking or serious just now, but she was very happy, even if the other party was teaching her a lesson now, she didn't bother with him.
Some people died, but not completely......
