Chapter 399: Take the initiative to give silver

Su Ziji looked back at this attentive official.

When he was busy handing over and dealing with Shun'an Mansion, he didn't want his newly promoted officials to take care of Qi Hongxin's family, so as not to wronged the Qi family.

deliberately asked this old man who had been with Qi Governor's Mansion for a while to be responsible, just so that Qi Hongxin's family could live in the backyard with peace of mind, wasn't it this official who was in charge of this matter?

"They sent someone to find me, and you let people stop me?" Su Ziji stared at him and asked in a deep voice.

Foolish, self-proclaimed clever, and ungrateful.

This person is a new person promoted by Qi Hong!

The commander looked at Su Ziji's expression was wrong, panic flashed on his face, and he hurriedly explained: "The humble duty is to see that you are busy, and you don't want people to disturb you...... Ouch!"

Su Ziji "snapped" and slapped the commander, and suddenly like Fan San, his face was purple and swollen, and the commander didn't dare to cry out in pain, and muttered: "My lord, my lord...... Wrong to be lowly, wrong to be lowly. ”

So saying, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Su Ziji looked at it condescendingly, and said coldly: "You are so daring, you have deducted the ice silver of the prefect, this article alone is enough for you to be guilty!"

"Nian was quite dutiful when you exterminated the locusts some time ago, take off this clothes and fend for yourself!"

This is the dismissal on the spot.

Everyone in officialdom knows that Shangguan's power is not unlimited, this is already the limit.

The official's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to shout injustice, Yu Zhilin was happy, and he pulled it out according to the hilt of the sword, only half of it was drawn, and the cold light flashed.

Knowing that he would not be left behind for fear of begging for mercy, the man could only barely get up and limped away.

Su Ziji retracted his gaze and bowed to Mrs. Zhou: "Although it was a villain, it was also my negligence, so that Lord Qi and Mrs. Zhou were wronged." Please rest assured, this time I will send the right people to take charge of the affairs of the backyard, and the treatment will not be less than the slightest!"

"Also, this evil slave, is it disposed of?"

When Fan San heard this, he was frightened, the official just now was a serious official, and there was a little bottom line, but he was a domestic servant.

Although the "Wei Law" stipulates that those who kill (slaves and maids) without inviting the government will have a hundred rods, and those who kill without guilt will be given one year in prison, while Zheng succeeded the Wei system, but the powerful master can be punished in a variety of ways.

knelt down immediately: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." ”

Seeing that Su Ziji's expression did not move, he turned to Qi Zhou's and kowtowed again and again, begging: "Madam, after all, I have been in the Zheng family for many years, even if I have no merit, I have hard work, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

"If you don't miss me, please miss my wife and children. ”

Qi Zhoushi suddenly remembered that his wife was his personal maid, who had been with him for many years, married this person, and gave his child a silver medal for longevity, and couldn't help sighing: "You get up!"

After a pause, he looked at Fan San and shook his head: "But you are like this, my family is going to leave you very much, put down what you are taking, and go by yourself!"

As he spoke, Qi Zhou's eyes filled with tears and said, "Please sit ...... adults."

Su Ziji nodded, went to the main room and sat down, Qi Zhou sent someone to serve tea, and said gloomily: "Master Su, in fact, these people have not gained much benefit from my husband and wife, and I can't blame them all, alas, ......"

Su Ziji took a sip and was stunned, many ignorant people always feel that they are masters when they go away in a chic way, and they retire after success.

In fact, whether it is an emperor or an official, or a guest in the rivers and lakes, once he retires, if he does not have a protégé, a relative, a force and other talismans, someone will definitely come to practice.

Many people want to retreat, but once they retreat, they will be trampled on, and they may die and their families will be wiped out, causing harm to their families.

As for the many reasons for practice, it is impossible not to offend people when doing things, and there are many people in this world who specialize in trampling on nobles to obtain psychological satisfaction.

Three thousand years of history, it is not easy to find a person who retreats and dies well, there must be a talisman, but there are protégés, relatives, forces and other talismans, this retreat and not retreat, the difference is not big.

Thinking of this, Su Ziji's heart sank, and he sighed and reiterated: "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I see the adult's illness, but I'm tired, slowly recuperate, and the disease will naturally be cured, and this time the locust extermination is meritorious, maybe the court will still have a will." ”

"I don't want to do it anymore, I just hope that the old man can get through this and live a few more years, and I will be satisfied. Just saying that, Qi Zhou couldn't help wiping his tears.

Su Ziji knew that this was Qi Hongxin's achievements for many years and did not respond, and now Qi Zhou's family no longer counted on grace, so he couldn't help sighing, and wanted to speak, but another pro-soldier ran over, knelt down and reported: "My lord, Li Langzhong of the Dushui Division is here, I want to see you, my lord!"

"Li Langzhong wants to see me?"

Each province, in addition to the Governor's Palace, there is also the water control yamen of the Metropolitan Water Division, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and was not originally considered a local yamen, but the Zheng Dynasty changed the rules of the previous dynasty, and set up a Metropolitan Water Division and several yamen of the same level in each province.

According to the grade, generally speaking, it should be the main matter of the sixth product to discuss matters with Su Ziji, but now that Qi Hongxin is sick, although Su Ziji is the sixth grade of the house, he is actually the number one, and there is even more court observation that such a Qin is in vain, and it is not unreasonable for the other party to come to see him.

Since people are here, Su Ziji can't be lazy.

Originally, I wanted to go to see Qi Hongxin's condition, but I didn't have this time at this time, so I could only confess, turned around and walked out of the backyard quickly, and went to the front.

When I walked into the living room, I saw a man in his thirties with three short beards and a polite appearance, who was drinking slowly with a cup.

It was the first time for Li Langzhong to meet this imperial court observer envoy from the capital, and after seeing him, he suddenly said secretly: "No wonder!"

"No wonder at a young age, just after being admitted to the Jinshi, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, such a vigorous and dazzling young man, just like the red sun rising in the east, that kind of light, it is really difficult to hide, Your Majesty will appreciate it, it is really normal. ”

Su Ziji's attention was only on this Li Langzhong's face for a moment, and his eyes were inevitably attracted by the more than thirty boxes on display.

When he came, his own soldiers had already told him, saying that this time Li Langzhong came not only by himself, but also pulled more than a dozen ox carts, and asked people to carry down more than 30 wooden boxes from the carts, and entered the living room, not only by himself, but also by carrying these boxes one by one.

"Could it be that the other party took the initiative to come over and pay back the silver?"

Anyone who hears such a description and has the matter of borrowing money from the Yamen for water control, I am afraid that the first thought that comes to mind will be this one.

But this seems to be in line with the situation, but it is not in line with common sense.

When the locusts were exterminated, Qi Hongxin's prefect went to the Dushui Division several times to ask for the silver, but he didn't get back one or two pieces of silver, and now Qi Hongxin is sick, and his acting mansion is dealing with the affairs of Shun'an Mansion, and he hasn't even asked for it once, and the people of the Dushui Division have taken the initiative to come over with silver?
