Li Fu stayed in Luo Zhenbang's study that night. He had insomnia, he ate wine at night, and had a heart, tossing and turning until the fourth watch before falling asleep, waking up and feeling very cold, it turned out that the stove was too hot, and he overturned the quilt. When looking at the sky, the window paper was bright and transparent, Li Fu turned over in his clothes, washed and brushed the door and came out, and a cold wind swept the snow flakes immediately, which made him choke - it turned out that it was snowing in the second half of last night. Waiting next door were Luo Zhenbang's two family members, who heard the movement and hurriedly came over to say goodbye. Li Fu smiled and said: "I was born under your discipline, what about my two leather monkeys?" ”

"They're all young, snooze." The older one smiled and said, "Don't look at the sky, it's snowing, and the roof is white, reflecting the brightness of the house, it's actually early!" Our lord just came over and instructed us that it was cold, and if it was cold, we would just say what we wanted to change our clothes and send it over as soon as possible. It's snowing today, if you don't have fun, you will take a few more trips and dare to go in a sedan chair! Li Fu said: "I love snow days the most, and I don't sit in a sedan chair." It's only fifty miles to Longmen Yique, hire a donkey, and tell the two of them to follow. Zhenbang is a person on business, and he doesn't have to accompany him - they are all old friends, and no one should be rigid about anyone. The chief hurriedly agreed, "Yes! But the master said that he must accompany him. When he arrived in Luoyang at night, he was called to the post house to see the Luohe River workers. Master Luo said, please wait patiently for him, he will come down before noon, and nothing will be wrong. ”

Tian Wenjing is here? Li Fu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "This is really early rather than lucky." Tian suppressed the light, how could I not see it? Didn't they go to the Luo River? I won't go to Longmen today, I'm going to look for plum blossoms in the snow, and I'm happy! …… Prepare a sedan chair for me and go to the Luohe River to work. "There is a sedan chair, which is what our master often sits in." Chang Suiyi smiled and said, "What our master said, Tian Zhitai knows that you are coming to Luoyang, so you must come to talk." The old man will no longer work. Li Fu thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a sedan chair, or I'll go." ”

The prefect's yamen is very close to the Luohe River, Li Fu took a sedan chair to cross the west pass to the south, walked for less than half an hour, and saw a white and vast barren beach across the sedan chair, and there was a big river frozen like a mirror in the snowflakes in the distance. Li Fu pointed to a dilapidated temple in the east of the road and asked the long attendant of the sedan chair: "What a big temple, whose incense is it?" "It's Zhou Gong Temple." Chang Sui stepped on the slippery road step by step and said, "It's been broken for many years, and it was like this when I was a child." Li Fu stopped talking, and saw a few large official sedan chairs falling next to the embankment in the distance, and a few people on the embankment stood in the cold wind and pointed and said something, it must be Luo Zhenbang and his people. Li Fu didn't wait for the root of the embankment to order the sedan chair, came down with his waist, and walked up the embankment, and sure enough, he saw that it was Tian Wenjing, with a group of masters and provincial officials inspecting the embankment. Because everyone was not paying attention, Li Fu was not busy meeting, quietly followed everyone, and when he glanced at Tian Wenjing, he was still the same as when he met in Beijing last time, but his hair was all white, and his thin body was on the river embankment, like a gust of wind that could blow it down.

"Zhenbang," Tian Wenjing frowned, pointing to the square stones scattered in the embankment, "You are becoming more and more careless. These stones, the last time Master Qian Du came, he said that there were still thousands of square yards neatly stacked. If you can't go up to the river in winter, can't you send a few people to guard it? They all told the people to go back to build walls and stone troughs! The stone was bought with silver, and if it were your own, would you be willing to waste it so much? Luo Zhenbang walked with him, saying yes again and again, and said: "There is a festival here, the platform in front of the Dacheng Hall of Fuxue has collapsed, and the walls of Minglun Hall and the East Courtyard have to be repaired, and the houses where several professors of Fuxue live must also be repaired. The last time Wang Hanlin came to see it, he didn't say anything. I said that there was really no money in the house, and they said that there would be no construction in winter, and there were so many stones on the Luohe beach, so it might as well be moved over and used first. Zhang Xuetai in the province also called for office. Let them embezzle their positions first, and when the spring warmth begins—""Spring blossoms? Tian Wenjing didn't have a smile on his rigid face, and said, "There is a peach blossom flood in March and a cauliflower flood in May. ”

When he said this, all the people were silent. Tian Wenjing's mood seemed to be very irritable, and he walked without saying anything for a while, and stood and groaned for a while. He is really not afraid of hard work and trouble, and sometimes he personally goes to the slippery embankment, knocks on the river embankment with stones, knocks on the hollow place, goes up to the embankment without saying a word, and throws the stone in his hand fiercely, "What kind of embankment is this repair, huh?!" Check if there is any deduction of the river worker's money! He pointed to the beach outside the embankment covered with wild grass and artemisia, and said, "This land is 100,000 acres, right?" How many times has the emperor issued an edict to reclaim the famine, but you are deaf and blind! There are so many people who eat idle food in Luoyang City, but the land here is barren - Lao Luo, you see, build a sluice gate from the upper reaches of the Luohe River to draw out water, which is a fertile field for drought and flood protection! He patted the gradually dry soil on his hands, and said coldly: "You can only reclaim it for me next year!" A group of Luoyang Prefecture county officials led by Luo Zhenbang listened to the reprimand of the impatient governor in a silent voice, all of them hung their heads and swallowed saliva, and their faces were gloomy. Luo Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "My lord, this land is barren, but it is all the land of the owner, otherwise I would have reclaimed it a long time ago." If you don't look carefully today, you can see it when you go down to the beach, there are all cemeteries, and the boundaries around an ancestor are clear. This is private land, and the government really can't do anything about it......"

"Hmm." Tian Wenjing sighed, as if he looked at the barren beach again unwillingly, "Is it private land?" He pondered, but did not speak for a moment. At this time, the wind and snow were even greater, and the clumps of broken jade qiong flowers were confused and chaotic on the vast river beach, sometimes splashing like wild waves, sometimes rolling up like arrows, and some were rolling into snow pillars and whirling and dancing, chasing each other unscrupulously...... Li Fu was already covered in a snowman at this time, and when he saw Tian Wenjing standing up with his eyes glared, his eyes were looking at the faults of the officials below, and he was angry and funny. Because he smiled behind Tian Wenjing, he said, "Suppress the light, you are so diligent." Exemplary! Tian Wenjing turned his head and stared at it for a long time before he saw that it was Li Fu, who was smiling and chanting at himself, and he was busy, with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be Julai Gong!" Fang Cai Zhenbang said that you came, and planned to pay a visit after watching this river work, why did you come! Luo Zhenbang was angry again, "Li Zhengtai is a guest, and he won't tell me a word when he goes up to the embankment!" Luo Zhenbang had to explain with a dry smile.

Li Fu and Tian Wenjing walked side by side for a while, talking about their departure from Wuchang, Tian Wenjing was also very cordial, walked all the way, and asked: "I heard that you didn't bring your family to the post, why?" Li Fu said casually: "It's too troublesome, go back to Beijing three or four times a year, it's as easy as possible to meet, why bring it to office?" Last time in Xiangyang, I met a county official who went to Yichang to take office, except for his wife, aunt's wife, seven concubines and eight aunts, three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and the master's secretary office added up to sixty or seventy. Yichang is such a small place, you have brought so many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, scraping the ground and the sky is three feet high! I see that there are many corrupt officials in the Xi Dynasty, and he is not a bad person originally, he doesn't stretch out his hand, he can't be a mother-in-law who loves the young, and he picks up other people's things behind his back, and he gets on the boat after coming and going. Tian Wenjing smiled and said, "You go back to Zhili to be the governor, and your home is in Beijing, do you want to send them back to their hometown?" Li Fu said: "Beijing is different, there is a watermelon outside, and it becomes a sesame seed when it arrives in Beijing, and the top six departments and nine Qings, the imperial history of Kedao is staring at it with dead eyes, and under the imperial court, there are a few unscrupulous children in the family, and they have to be restrained." In fact, I don't want to go back to Beijing, I shouldn't be afraid of these things, I will seal the territory outside, and I will have the final say on everything. When you go to Beijing, it is difficult to be a corrupt official, and it is even more difficult to do practical things! ”

"Well, that's interesting." Tian Wenjing wanted to say, "Those 'cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods' are all raised by fire and silver." The fire is returned to the public, and the officials eat with their money and incorruptible silver, who still brings so many diners", but the words changed when they came to their lips, "It's a pity that the officials in the world don't think like this, it's also in vain!" Li Fu smiled and said: "Don't advocate your 'raising incorruptible silver'." Let's not talk about this today - look at this snow, it is really good, how good it should be to have plum blossoms in Suzhou and Hangzhou! Tian Wenjing looked at the embankment, the two banks of the Luo River have fallen less than three inches thick, it is already a vast expanse, the beach on the other side of the river is a continuous poplar, in the falling snow of the cotton is gray, the scenery is not very clear. Only the snow could not be retained on the ice of the river, and the smoke was swept around by the wind. After a long time, Tian Wenjing said: "There is a proverb in Henan, 'Mai Gai three quilts, head pillow bun to sleep', I would rather this snow is cotton - this kind of heaven -" He suddenly remembered something, beckoned Luo Zhenbang, and ordered: "The people I brought, please Master Qian stay, and the rest go back." Henan Mansion, the people from the Zhentai Yamen here also went back. But you can't rest, inform the counties, see if there is any snow that overwhelms the house, and if you don't have a meal, take a look from the county treasury. Some begging people are sad for this kind of day, so they ask the chief of Lijia to take care of them and settle them in the temple. Two items: 1. No one is allowed to freeze or starve to death; Second, who dares to deduct from here, take a bite, I, Tian Wenjing, told him to vomit three liters! ”

"Wow!"

Luo Zhenbang agreed, and hurriedly ordered in the back, and the official Goshhama sedan chair man couldn't wait for this sound, stumbled down the embankment to call for the sedan chair, and was scattered like birds and beasts in an instant. Luo Zhenbang rushed to them with a short, dark and thin middle-aged man, and Tian Wenjing pointed at the middle-aged man with a smile: "Qian Du-Master Qian in my ya-meet Master Li." Li Fu saw that although Qian Du was short, he was more vigorous, his eyes were spinning around, and he was also a restless person at a glance, so he was disgusted in his heart, but he grabbed Qian Du and said: "Old man, don't be like this, I have more time to ask you!" Qian Du smiled and said: "Lord Julai is famous all over the world. My student has been looking up to me for a long time! Today, the wind and snow meet on the side of the Tianjin Bridge, and the fate of the students is not shallow. After speaking, he waved lightly to the embankment, and there was already a Goshha jumping up the embankment, but he was holding a large pile of robes in his arms, and he shook them off exactly four. Qian Du said again: "On this day, the scalp robe is also frozen!" I asked them to borrow a few clothes from the nearby people's houses, not to avoid the snow, but to block the wind. The originally dull atmosphere was stirred up by him, and he suddenly relaxed.

"I've heard of Tianjin Bridge for a long time, but I can't do it here?" Li Fu and the others shook off the snow on their bodies, put on a thick coat, and really felt that they were blocking the wind, so they asked Luo Zhenbang with a smile: "How far is the bridge from here?" Luo Zhenbang smiled, pointed to the other side of the Luo River with his hand, and said: "The north of that small poplar forest is on the beach." In fact, it is a very inconspicuous arch pavilion bridge, but it is famous. Literati and writers often come here in spring and autumn to meet their texts, and there are not many people who usually come. Only then did Li Fu know that Luoyang, the world-famous "Tianjin Bridge", did not cross the Luohe River, but was a famous spot abandoned on the Luohe River. Li Fu saw that Tian Wenjing was still distracted, so he smiled and said, "Still thinking about your 'cotton'?" If you are such an official, you will be exhausted to death. Let's take a look at Tianjin Bridge! Tian Wenjing smiled and said: "I've come to Luoyang five times, either river workers or reclamation, I haven't seen any famous places, and Yaxing is gone." It is said that such a day, such an open river view, should be a little poetic, and now I can't be in the limelight. ”

So the four of them trembled down the river embankment and hugged the snow. Crossing a sandy beach, standing by the river, I feel that the snowflakes are blurred, and the world is confused. Li Fu looked at the turquoise river and said: "I'm afraid the water here is very deep, I stepped on the ice and fell into the water when I was a child, and I still have palpitations." Walking on such a river, it is really cautious, like facing the abyss. Luo Zhenbang smiled: "It's okay, you see, there is a big car mark faintly on it." It turned out that Li Zhengtai was going to see Yique, how many times have I asked someone to try it. You two feudal officials, if something happens to me in Henan Mansion, I'm afraid that long live will martyr my Luo Zhenbang! However, it is also true that the water is deep, and in the summer, the draft of the ship can be unimpeded until it reaches six feet. Last year, Li Youyu (Li Weizi) went to Shaanxi to fight here, and ate wine in Anlan Building in the south of Luoyang City. Several local celebrities have also written a lot of poems! ”

"Poetry again?" Li Fu asked.

"He knows." Tian Wenjing said, "He will go undercover and listen to the wall to catch thieves!" ”

Qian Du walked cautiously, and said with a smile: "Master Li doesn't have much ink, he is smart, and he is a naturally smart person." But occasionally he writes poetry. Well...... The year before last, I went to Jinling on a business trip, Fan Shijie Fang Bo is the master of the trial hair department of my house, to visit him, just got together with him to invite the Duke of Youju, Jishan Gong to go to Yanzi Ji Lanjiang Building to eat, everyone a joint poem. Following the sentence of Shangong 'Jiangtian is on the first floor', Mr. Fan is 'the wind is clear and sends spring and autumn'. I saw that Lord Youyu scratched his ears and cheeks and couldn't think of it, so he also handed over a sentence of 'geese and fish go with the water' - I wanted to give him a little more thought, but after finishing speaking, he still raised his eyebrows and pondered, and Teacher Fan and him were very casual, saying, 'What kind of poems do you make this poor man? I've taken your place, right? Youju's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the river in the distance and said, "Uncle Fan has a lot of mouths, and I also have poems." You see, the two fishermen stirred the nets and beat them in the boat, and my verse is 'Two fishermen beating'! ”

"This is a five-character poem," Luo Zhenbang shook his head and said, "How did you come up with six words?" Qian Duren smiled and said: "Wansheng also said the same, 'This is a five-character poem, adults can delete the word "type". It's just Ye Yun. Master Li was very happy, and pressed my shoulder and said, 'Your mother will do a good job!' It's "Two Fishermen" - this poem is truly wonderful! Yin Futai said, "Your poem can't be said to be "wonderful" in any way! If you want to make this kind of sentence in the field, you should fight. He was stunned for a moment, pointed at me and said, "There is a word "type" in my poem, and he insisted that I delete it!' ’”

The crowd laughed. Luo Zhenbang was careless, sat down on the ice and slid out of the distance. Li Fu suddenly remembered the last time he participated in the impeachment of Li Wei for "no learning and no skills", compared with this Tian Wenjing, Li Wei was finally polite and humble to the literati. Tian Wenjing is a scholar, but he can't get along with a reader, and there is no smile on his face when he thinks about it. Talking Tianjin Bridge has arrived, Li Fu looked at it, only to see that the bridge is facing Luoyang City in the south and north, it can be five or six zhang long, about two zhang high, it is a very ordinary jade belt arch bridge, there is a pavilion on the bridge but it is very exquisite. The four of them slowly paced through the snow, first to the bridge to look into the distance, but the wind in the pavilion was like a knife, and it was extremely cold, and then went down the bridge to the south.

"There is a bridge here to block the wind, and there is no snow, so it's warmer," Li Fu said with a smile, "- the bridge base is like the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the pavilion on the top is rigid, which is the style of the former Ming Dynasty - why is it called 'Tianjin Bridge'?" Luo Zhenbang said: "Luoyang is the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, all over the country Xiucai entered Beijing to catch the exam, and they all crossed from this bridge, just like the intersection of Qingyun Road, so it is called 'Tianjin Bridge'." Li Fu nodded and sighed: "It's thousands of years in a flash, the bridge is here, what about people?" At that time, Xiucai was today's lifter, and he didn't make eight strands, which was really a blessing! Look at this bridge, the Luoshui in the Tang Dynasty is not big! ”

Although Li Fu's words were not much, he unconsciously stabbed Tian Wenjing. Everyone knows that he is a down-and-out "showman" who failed in the three Beijing trials and couldn't get past the "Tianjin Bridge", and was elected by donating and paying tribute. And they did not dare to reply. Tian Wenjing didn't seem to care, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "There are four rivers in Luoyang, Yi, Luo, Qian, and Jian, which used to be diverted into the Yellow River, and later the Yi River was diverted and merged with the Luo River - it was Chen Kang in the Song Dynasty who dug it through the boat - and the Luo River has the scale it has today. Chen Kang is not a jinshi and has not jumped over the dragon gate, but if he does this, Tianjin Bridge will not be practical. Li Fu knew that he was speechless, and his face was red and speechless. Tian Wenjing stood in the snow, looking at the gray and gloomy Luoyang City on the north bank, and said for a long time: "Zhenbang, I will go to see the Jianhe River into the Yellow River estuary project tomorrow, and then check back to Kaifeng along the north bank of the Yellow River, don't mind if I attack you so much." You are still serious about doing things, and you should be pushed by me before you move. Listening to the instigation of the lower heads, he pointed out that we squeezed silver from the provincial treasury in the same year. Tell you, Luoyang businessmen are rich in the world, and the gentlemen who hang thousands of cards here are the most in the province, and they have to make up their minds from them. The silver in the province is not my Tian Wenjing's, you can't even think of how much a Yellow River will cost! There are also spring famine relief and rations, isn't that all silver? These rich families have property and sit and eat, and there is no court to spend money on these things, can they live in peace? He's an iron, and you're going to have steel tongs to pluck his feathers! Don't be soft – it's for their good. I couldn't make sense, so I had to be polite to him. Li Fu was listening, and none of these words were in his ears. Whoever is rich will pluck his hair with "steel pliers", which is called robbery! The grandiose country has a system for taking money, how can it be messed around? But Tian Wenjing adheres to the will of Yongzheng, and he can only go to Beijing to see the emperor if he has a car. Li Fuyuan thought that Tian Wenjing would always have to be in Luoyang for three or five days, and he took advantage of the time to have a good chat with him, and when he heard that he would leave tomorrow, he couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it, and said: "Wenjing, I want to borrow a step to talk to you." With that, the two left the Tianjin Bridge and walked east along the bank of the Luo River.

At this moment, the wind is a little lighter, and the ice on the surface of the Luohe River has been covered with half an inch of snow, reflecting the gray stone embankment opposite, and pieces of white feathers are falling endlessly, and there is silence on both sides of the frozen river except for the rustle of falling snow. After a long time, Li Fu said:

"Suppress light."

"Hmm."

"You are bent on being a famous minister, it's too hard."

"You're half right." Tian Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, "Half of my heart wants to be a famous minister, and half of it is to repay the emperor's kindness." If you don't work hard, Zhou Gong can only return to the heart of the world. ”

Li Fu sighed. Tian Wenjing was telling the truth. He was a poor Langjing official for 20 years, and he was qualified to boil out a six-product, Yongzheng traveled to Shaanxi in the first year of the decree, and on the way back, he used the Qincha Pass to check the deficit of the Shanxi Domain, and overthrew the "first governor of the world" Nuo Min in one fell swoop. After a long time, Li Fu said: "I understand your thoughts. However, there is a word in the throat, and I want to persuade Brother Guang. ”

"What?"

"Wait for the scholars to be better, and the gentlemen." Li Fu said, "This is where the vitality of the country lies. Tian Wenjing stood still and stared at Li Fu, there was no warmth in his eyes: "Of course they are 'national vitality'." But the vitality is too strong, the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining, isn't it also a disease of the country? If the fire is too big, it will be vented. Plucking their hair is for the benefit of the world, and fundamentally it is good for them. Isn't it terrible for these short-sighted eyes to focus on immediate benefits and forget the ruts ahead? You see, this Luoyang, the former Ming Dynasty was the domain of King Fu, and the fields in Luoyang were all owned by this prince of wine and meat, and he was reluctant to take out a little to help the poor and reward the soldiers. The city was ruined, and all the gold and silver piled up in the mountains and seas were given to Li Zicheng as a military salary! If you want to read the poems of King Fu and look at his paintings, then you are not a first-class beautiful literati! "I didn't say you don't want to read people." Li Fu tried his best to hold the fire in his heart, and said slowly: "The face of the scholar's family is more important than life, just like you and I went into the wilderness, and were driven by the government to come here to build a river embankment, carry stones, and fill in mortar, this is the country's preferential scholar?" Pei Xiaoyi, Pei Jiaying, Dengzhou, was a Qing official of the prefect for two years, he died, leaving only five orphans and widows, and was driven to Ruihe to repair the bridge and unearthed. The Xi Dynasty did not implement the system of maintaining integrity, I heard that a prefect gives you five thousand taels of silver every year, but Pei Xiaoyi didn't take this money! However, corrupt officials gather on weekdays, and they are not afraid of you, the 'official gentry and one errand'. Suppress the light, this is too cold to the hearts of readers! ”

Tian Wenjing walked, a gust of wind wrapped in snow flakes rushed towards him, causing a shiver all over his body, he calmed down and said: "I know the case of Pei Wang's suicide, and the emperor also has a hand to approve it, so I want to care for the orphan." But doing such a thing is never foolproof, and scholars are officials for the world and society, not for their own personal gain. So it's not a shame to go on a business trip. After all, the gentry who can't afford to pay the official money are a minority, and they can think of a better compassionate child. But the scholars and eunuchs do not go on official errands, and the harm is unspeakable after a long time. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal, I've read all your excerpts. I think it's a bit unfounded. ”

"I've also read your excerpts, and they're all over the place," Tian Wenjing squinted and said indifferently, "Now the government and the opposition are participating in hundreds of articles on my impeachment, and there are not many of them." ”

"Seedlings are promoted, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"The piano is out of tune, of course it has to be changed."

Speaking of this, the two of them stopped, and suddenly laughed at the same time—it turned out that the two of them had inadvertently exchanged words in their words. Luo Zhenbang, who was standing by the Tianjin Bridge, saw it, and said to Qian Du with a smile: "It is said that Tian and Li are the same as water and fire, I think they are full of speculation!" Qian Du shook his head and said: "You don't know these adults, crying may not be sad, laughing may not be joy, they can only move the truth in big things, and small things can not move the truth." Do you see this Fan Shijie? said that it was the family of Ma Lingyu Fan's general soldiers, and even the emperor was stunned. When he went back to Nanjing, he made a joke about him when he met two children on the way to the Ya, and they scolded each other for being turtles, and they couldn't mediate in every way. Only adults can be "turtles"! The parishioner said, 'This is what the lord said, and he did not dare to say it.' ’…… Teacher Fan only laughed and scolded, you can do whatever you want to do when you come down, like us-" He snuggled the Nutian Wenjing with his mouth, "If you bare your teeth in front of him, he can knock you out of the study." When it is time to do serious business, I still call you in and arrange it with a pleasant face. ”

"It's a joke," Luo Zhenbang said with a smile, "The case of the golden widow in Shaanzhou, Tian Zhitai has refuted it, what is the article after this?" This case involved a wealthy gentleman. These talented people in Luoyang are in turmoil and want to go to Beijing to file a complaint. If you can't figure out the boycott of the exam, you will be big. You know that Jin Shengyi is the head of the literati in Henan Mansion, and when the person is dead, the soul is still there! Qian Du said: "This is a matter in the hands of Master Bi." The golden widow failed to ask for debts and committed suicide in front of Cai Jiaju's door on a thunderstorm night. Master Bi went to Shaanzhou to personally visit, the golden widow does not go out on weekdays, the most weak woman, no enemies, no other cause and effect, advocating severe punishment. Cai Jiaju asked for a pen out of nowhere, and argued: 'Eight-foot door high, how can a woman be alone?' The three watches are raining badly, how can there be no mud on both feet? Tian Zhitai said that this refutation was reasonable, so he sent it back for you to retry. Luo Zhenbang frowned and said, "This pot of rice is sandwiched." What do you think to do? ”

Qian Du only smiled and said nothing. Luo Zhenbang hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, and said: "The Jin family is really wronged, I scraped together some silver to deal with it, and this case can be turned over to be interesting." Qian Du accepted it honestly and politely, and asked: "Did the original defendant mention Luoyang?" ”

"I mentioned it," Luo Zhenbang said, "I called the trial room to go through a few sessions, and I bit very tightly in both times, so I have to find a way to judge this case in one class." Qian Du said with a smile: "I have a way, I can deal with it without committing the punishment, and seek justice for the Jin family, you have to thank me!" Luo Zhenbang smiled: "That's natural, Widow Jin's nephew said that as long as he can breathe this out, he is willing to go bankrupt." Now it is not allowed to collect fire consumption privately, and these things can be supplemented. ”

Qian Du approached Luo Zhenbang, looked at Tian Wenjing and Li Fu on the river bank in the distance, and said: "This matter is obvious, it is the people of the Cai family who changed the shoes of the golden widow. The maids were separated and their feet were examined, and whoever wore the right shoes was sent to prison with her husband. Go back and retry the surname Cai - the collusion in this matter is certain. Just because of the collusion, more people know. You are mercilessly detaining them in prison one by one, and some people can't support them. If it is broken, no one can stop it. Luo Zhenbang said with a smile: "You master of money and grain, the name of the sentence is not ambiguous!" Qian Du blinked his eyes and smiled: "The two sides of the table have a cordial conversation, how do they know that we are making trouble here!" ”

But Li Fu and Tian Wenjing have already collapsed.

"Suppress the light, I didn't interfere in your Henan government affairs, the way of making friends is righteous!" Li Fu pressed the fire in his head, and said as softly as possible, "After all, you and I are in the same year as the township test!" Tian Wenjing sneered and said, "You are pointing fingers, as if Sage Kong sent you to teach me." It should be like this and shouldn't be like that - I'm a decade older than you, and I don't know what to do myself? You think your method in Hubei is good, but your feudal lord has swallowed the treasury silver. I didn't do well, but I don't have corrupt officials in Henan! You are a Jinshi, you have your Jinshi in the same year, and Wenjing can't climb high. ”

With a slight sound, Li Fu took a quick step and said, "I don't want to offend you at all, I am persuading you from the bottom of my heart, you blindly do it, you are not forgiving, I am afraid that something will happen." The government rules the gentry, and the gentry governs the people. You are the eyes and ears of the government! Refresh the rule of officials, just like walking on this glacier, it's too late to pay attention to one step at a time! ”

"Suspicious."

"What?"

"I said you were suspicious." Tian Wenjing said coldly, "The fox walks on the ice, walks a few steps and listens, and when there is a loud sound, he is so frightened that he takes three steps back!" You see—" He stomped his foot slightly. "It's all frozen here, it's all right!"

Li Fu's face flushed. He couldn't hold back any longer: "I'm blindly letting it go, you look down on people so much!" I did the official poison these readers! The Minister of Speech - You are a villain, I want to have a book to visit you! ”
