Chapter 208: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
"I never thought it would be your home." Cheng Feng was the first batch of disciples after the establishment of He'an Medical Hall. Jiang Yuqing and Doctor Qiu brought it out hand in hand.
After graduation, although he did not continue to work in He'an Hospital, he often came to visit her and Dr. Qiu.
In several wars with foreign countries in Great Xia, he also sent his disciples to participate in the temporary medical team.
Cheng Feng said respectfully: "The old father of the family celebrates his birthday in two days, and the student rushed back from Beijing. How did you get to Gai County? ”
"There's nothing going on in Beijing, so we'll go out for a walk."
Cheng Feng was about to speak, and was slapped on his head by Mrs. Cheng: "Third child, what are you doing, why don't you invite the guests to sit in the house quickly, it looks like it's going to rain." ”
Cheng Feng came back to his senses and hurriedly let the group into the house.
The Cheng family had no subordinates, he personally brewed the good tea brought back from Beijing, and waited very carefully.
Old lady Cheng was caught and pulled her son aside: "Third child, is that little lady really your teacher?" ”
Cheng Feng looked around at no one and said, "It's true." Teacher, she has another identity, Dad, I told you, don't tell your family, I'm afraid they will be scared. ”
Old lady Cheng said: "So serious? ”
Cheng Feng leaned over his father's ear and whispered a few words.
Old lady Cheng was a little weak after hearing this, and said in a trembling voice: "Third child, you didn't scare them, you scared me." I had some kind of luck and invited my grandfather to my house. ”
Cheng Feng asked his father again: "How do you always touch with them?" ”
Old lady Cheng said what happened before, and then asked his son tremblingly: "Then the next generation, no, Your Majesty the Emperor, hand me a spoon today, I won't be beheaded, right?" ”
Cheng Feng comforted his father: "No." Don't look at Your Majesty who doesn't talk much, in fact, he is the most approachable.
He is coming to Weifu for a private visit this time, and we don't have to reveal their identities, just treat them with a normal heart. ”
Mrs. Cheng thought about it, and the future life was really good at talking, so she let go of half of her heart.
After a cup of tea, the raindrops the size of beans fell down. The raindrops were dense, connected into threads, and then woven into a rain curtain, steaming up a thick water vapor.
When the distinguished guests came to the door, the Cheng family showed 120,000 points of courtesy and enthusiasm, and prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain everyone.
After the meal, the best room was arranged for everyone to rest.
After Jiang Yuqing and his party settled down, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Feng gathered everyone in the family and held a family meeting.
It means that the people who come to the house today have an unspeakable identity, so let everyone be vigilant, don't be lazy. Don't let people rush easily.
Although the Cheng family wondered how expensive these people were, no one dared to ask.
It had just rained in the afternoon, and it was very cool in the house. After Yiyi took a bath, he began to arch his mother with his little head. Jiang Yuqing pulled off his clothes and breastfed his son.
Seeing his son's fat paws pressed on his own welfare, Jing Yan said jealously: "Weaning him in two months at most, when he grows big enough to eat!" ”
Jiang Yuqing: "......." Although she also has this plan, she feels that the child's father is like a complaining husband.
They originally planned to leave the next day, but Cheng Feng and Mrs. Cheng repeatedly kept them.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so the group had to stay, planning to wait for Mrs. Cheng to finish his birthday before leaving.
Since it is the birthday of the elderly, they have to prepare a congratulatory gift.
The Cheng family was not short of money, so Jiang Yuqing gave a longevity pill that could extend life for five years as a congratulatory gift.
Cheng Feng was overjoyed when he learned that he thanked his old father again and again.
Old lady Cheng heard that His Majesty and Niangniang had given such a priceless treasure, and her hands holding the jade box were shaking.
At the banquet, Jiang Yuqing and his party of eight happened to sit at a table. And sit at the top.
So much so that the guests who came to the banquet secretly guessed where the nobles from this table came from, and it was even more valuable than several in-laws of the Cheng family.
However, Cheng Cheng's family was tight-lipped, and he only said that he was Cheng Feng's teacher, and he refused to reveal the rest of the words.
The day after Mrs. Cheng's birthday, Jing Yan and the others said goodbye and left.
The Cheng family prepared a rich earthen ritual to send it off.
The carriage went all the way smoothly to the county seat of Gaixian County, and just a few steps into the city gate, I saw many people gathered there to watch the excitement, and most of the road was blocked, and the carriage could not pass.
Jiang Yuqing had no choice but to get out of the car and follow to join in the fun.
It turned out to be an old man who was making trouble in a shop and was blasted out by the shopkeeper. The old man pointed to the shopkeeper and scolded him for his unfilial piety, and wanted to go to the yamen to sue him.
The shopkeeper was also stubborn, and said, "Then you will go and sue, and if you win, I will chop off a finger and return it to you." "As soon as everyone heard it, they understood that this was a father and son.
is so angry as a son, he would rather chop off his fingers and return his father than provide for his father's old age, most of which is a big story in it.
A neighbor who knew the inside story came out and explained.
The old man was indeed the shopkeeper's father, but he was not a good man.
When he was young, he was greedy for flowers and lustful, abandoned his wife and children for a pretty widow, became someone's son-in-law, and raised a son for others.
Because there was no man in the family, his wife and young son were bullied in the clan.
In order to support her two sons, his wife worked day and night, and even had to eat in the most difficult times.
As a result, he became ill and died when his eldest son was fifteen years old.
In order to support his younger brother, the shopkeeper's elder brother went to the camp to serve as a soldier at the age of sixteen, and later died on the battlefield while fighting Liju, leaving the shopkeeper alone.
He has paid a great price to get to where he is today.
Last year, the widow and her son threw him out because he was too old to be useful. The old man had nowhere else to go, so he remembered his former son.
So he came to the door and wanted his youngest son to provide for him.
The youngest son wanted him to die immediately, but of course he refused. The old man went to his youngest son's snack shop every once in a while.
Everyone around me knows about it.
Where is this old man, this is clearly an old rascal.
In fact, such examples were not uncommon in the era in which she lived in her previous life.
However, there are also some virgin who, under the banner of mediation, persuade the bitter master again and again, saying that he is your father, Yunyun.
Morality kidnaps children to provide for old hooligans.
As the old saying goes, don't go through the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind, I have to say that such a moral is really disgusting.
The old rascal went away angrily, and the crowd quickly dispersed. Their carriage was able to get back on the road, and after turning two streets, it stopped at the gate of the county office.
Jiang Yuqing asked Jing Yan: "Why did you suddenly come to Gaixian County?" ”
Jing Yan said: "There is a big difference between the number of acres of land in Gai County and the taxes paid. Jiang Yuqing understood as soon as he heard it, I was afraid that there was a big cat here.
The group got out of the carriage, Wuya stepped forward, took out a gold medal and shook it in front of the guards guarding the door, and the two officials almost knelt down.
One of them made a gesture, turned around and ran quickly into the yamen.
Before long, there was a burst of footsteps inside, and the one wearing an official uniform was the county magistrate Fang Duo of Gai County, with the master and others.
ran to the front, bent down and bowed: "Weichen see Your Majesty, the Queen's Mother, and His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Let's get flat!"
Fang Duo respectfully invited Jing Yan and his party inside. Jing Yan sat down at the desk in the study of the yatang and asked Fang Duo to take the tax records of the past three years.
After Jing Yan looked through it carefully, he calmly asked the county order: "Gai County has more than 313,000 acres of land, and there is no jue land.
There are 21 Xiucai, 5 people, 1 Jinshi, according to Xiucai 30 acres/person, 150 acres/person, Jinshi 250 acres/person, tax-free acres of 1730 acres, not even a fraction.
The excerpt I received was that there was a shortage of water in Gai County for a few years, resulting in a poor grain harvest.
Therefore, the tax and grain paid are decreasing year by year, and this year, it is only two-thirds of what it used to be.
But along the way, I learned from the people that it was the opposite.
In the past three years, the wind and rain in Gai County have been smooth, and the grain has increased year by year.
The taxes and grain paid by the people also increased year by year. Why does the tax payable fall instead of increasing? You tell me. ”
Fang Duo immediately knelt on the ground, took out a thick booklet from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands.
Said sadly: "Your Majesty, this is the real tax account book of Gai County in the past three years!" ”
Canghai took the account book and presented it to Jing Yan with both hands. Jing Yan turned the pages one by one, and the sound of the paper turning and brushing seemed to be stabbed heavily on Fang Duo's heart on every page.
After a long time, Jing Yan closed the account book, and his fingers knocked on the table, and there was no joy or anger in his indifferent voice.
"The actual tax grain was 1918,330,000 quintals, and it was handed over to the state treasury 1218,330,000 quintals, a difference of 70,000 quintals.
Very good! Can you tell me where all the 70,000 loads of grain have gone? ”
Fang Duo knelt on the ground and wailed: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of death.
The minister's only daughter was occupied by the son of the governor of Cangzhou, and coerced the minister to join him.
If the minister does not cooperate, he will kill the minister's daughter, and the minister has no choice but to submit.
In the past three years, the minister has been unable to sleep at night, and he has carried this real account book with him every day.
I just hope that one day I can reveal the truth of the matter to the world, and I can also save the poor daughter of the minister. ”
It turned out that Fang Duo was an orphan, who was picked up by his father-in-law and raised as a son, and provided him with education, and later married him the only pearl in his palm.
It can be described as a mountain.
He had a deep relationship with his wife, and he did not remarry after his wife died in childbirth, so he loved the daughter left by his deceased wife like life.
At the beginning, he was born as a Jinshi in the last list, and he filled the gap in Gai County, Lizhou. When he took office, he took his only daughter Fang Si with him.
I never thought that when the city was reported, I was accidentally seen by the stupid son who was in charge of the prefect.
Seeing that his son liked the daughter of the Fang family, the prefect drunk Fang Duo in the name of giving him a pick-up. At the same time, he used means to make his son defile Fang Si.
He was a powerless and powerless small county magistrate, and he had no way to ask for help, so he had to endure the pain of marrying his daughter to the stupid son of the housekeeper.
After that, the housekeeper even used Fang Si as a bargaining chip and asked him to manipulate the tax grain. If he didn't comply, he would be tortured and beaten by Fang Si, and once he even almost beat Fang Si to death.
Therefore, Fang Duo hated and poisoned the prefect.
As early as when he heard that His Majesty had left the palace for a private visit, he was looking forward to the arrival of this day, so he always brought the evidence of the crime with him.
Guan Governor didn't expect that he had already planned to die and break the net.
Even if you take your daughter to die with you, it's better than leaving your daughter in the housekeeper to suffer.
