At that moment, the two officials took Nangong Yu to the well in the backyard, fetched water, scrubbed it, changed clothes, and returned to the county office. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, the official and the county official had left, and Hai Rui also changed into civilian clothes. As a Qipin county magistrate, he wore a cloth coat with more patches than Pang Mingyang's clothes, and he even looked a little shabby, and he couldn't tell that he was the local parent official when he walked on the street.

Hai Rui said, "Let's go." After speaking, he left the county office with Nangong Yu. At this time, it was getting dark, and the vendors all closed their stalls one after another, and when they saw Hai Rui, they all spontaneously gathered around, some sent vegetables, some sent meat, respectful and polite. Hai Rui just bowed his hand, thanked and said hello, and did not accept anything. Nangong Yu saw that the people really loved Hai Rui, and only good officials who were sincere for the people could be supported by the people.

Hai Rui's residence was very remote, and after turning several alleys, Nangong Yu thought that the exquisite courtyard in front of him should be his residence, but he turned another corner and came to a dilapidated wooden house.

In the earthen fence was a wooden house, an earthen stove house and a small courtyard, Nangong Yu was secretly surprised, even if the residence of the local hall official was dilapidated, it should not be like this, even if it was not as good as ordinary people.

Hai Rui said: "The humble house is a little shabby, don't laugh at the palace brother." As he spoke, he pushed open the gate and walked in. There is only one path in the courtyard, the small place is full of vegetables, there is only one wooden house, not even a back room, there is only a table, a bed and four chairs, and nothing else. The only decoration is the two thick stacks of books on the table, which basically take up half of the table.

Nangong Yuqi said: "When Lord Hai was transferred, the county government assigned you such a house?" Hai Rui said: "This is not true, this official originally lived in the small courtyard in front." Last year, a family of four fled to Chun'an, and the man was forced to steal in order to support his family, and was caught by the public. Although stealing is really helpless, after all, he broke the law, and the official imprisoned him for half a year as a punishment according to the law. The mother and son had nowhere to go, so I vacated the small courtyard and gave it to them, and now the man has been released and found a livelihood in the local area, and the family of four is stable. ”

Nangong Yu was surprised: "Didn't they return the house of Lord Hai?" Hai Rui said: "I still paid it back, but I didn't ask for it, it was just right for four people to live in that small courtyard, and it was too wasteful for me to live alone." Nangong Yu said: "Hai Daren is a county official, don't you feel bitter when you live here?" Hai Rui said: "The people are great, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, not to mention that we are officials, but we must be people-oriented." The officer's ability is limited, so he can help as much as he can. ”

Nangong Yu was full of admiration, and said: "It would be nice if the Ming Dynasty was a clean official like Lord Hai." Hai Rui said: "We are not in the government, so you don't have to call me an adult." Brother Xian don't sit down, I'll go cook first. Nangong Yu said: "Yes, I'm here to help too." ”

The two came to the stove room, stewed a pot of rice, fried two green vegetables, boiled a pot of loose tea, returned to the wooden house and sat down, eating and chatting. Hai Rui said: "Brother Gong has been to Dongying, what is that country like?" Nangong Yu said: "I have only been to Kyoto in the next place, and I have not been to other places." He told Dongying what he had seen and heard. Hai Rui listened and said: "'The world is full of martial arts', although the law of the jungle is a barbaric culture, but worshipping force is always a hundred times better than worshipping money and power, no wonder a small place can stir up my Ming turmoil." Nangong Yu hadn't talked to anyone about the world's major events for a long time, and sighed: "I have heavy taxes, the military morale is sluggish, the policy is old, and it is difficult to get through. Hai Rui smiled indifferently and did not speak.

Nangong Yuqi said: "Isn't what you said wrong?" Brother Wanghai advised. Hai Rui said: "What the virtuous brother said is right, but those are all diseases, even if the new policy is introduced, it is not a cure." Nangong Yu said: "What is this?" Hai Rui muttered: "The real disadvantages of my Ming Dynasty are in the court and not in the wilderness. If the court can clear the stream, and the monarch and the ministers are united, those problems will naturally be solved. ”

Nangong Yu nodded slowly and said: "The Yan family's father and son are greedy for ink and control the government, which is the cancer of my Ming Dynasty. With them in the cabinet, there is no clear stream. Hai Rui said: "Although the Yan Party is a moth to the country, in my eyes, they are just a disease." Nangong Yu's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed: "The cause of what Brother Hai said is... Today's saint?" Hai Rui said: "If the king is clear, the ministers are virtuous, and the ministers are virtuous, and the hundred officials are virtuous, and all the disadvantages will no longer exist." If the cause of the disease originates from the roots and is not removed, even if the branches and leaves are rebuilt, what is the use. ”

Nangong Yu nodded slowly and said: "What Brother Hai said is to the point, if only there were a few direct ministers like Brother Hai around the emperor." Hai Rui said: "Don't hide it from the palace brother, in fact, I have received an order from the imperial court to transfer to the capital to serve as a household attendant." At that time, I will have the opportunity to make a speech to the emperor. In a few days we can go north together. ”

Nangong Yu said: "There are many people in the capital, and it is better for Brother Hai to be cautious when he arrives in Beijing, so that he can have the opportunity to serve the country by protecting himself." Hai Rui said: "I know what Jinyiwei does, I won't be stupid to die, even if I die, it makes sense to die." Nangong Yu said: "Is Miss Hai okay lately?" Hai Rui said: "My sister's family letter never reports good news or bad news, I don't know the specifics." Li Junxian is the top student in high school, and their life should be good. Nangong Yu nodded silently.

Hai Rui said: "How did the palace brother and the younger sister meet?" Nangong Yu respected him as a person, so he didn't hide it, and 1510 told his true identity and explained his love for Haiqiong.

Hai Rui listened silently and said, "I see. Brother Nangong and his sister can only be separated by fate." Then the two chatted late, like-minded with each other, and both had a feeling of hating each other.

After three days like this, Hai Rui handed over the official affairs to the newly arrived county official, and prepared to go north with Nangong Yu. This morning, the two of them were watering vegetables in the yard, and suddenly rushed in from outside, the first official was wearing a red official uniform, forty or fifty years old, and was obese. At this time, Nangong Yu's strength has recovered sixty percent, and it is no longer a problem to break free, but if you run by yourself, it will inevitably affect Hai Rui, so wait and see what happens.

Hai Rui frowned and said, "Lord Prefect, he is not a widow, you have misunderstood." The prefect said: "Haizhi County, this official heard that you Chun'an caught the Japanese and rushed to come." Why did you let him go after just one trial? and still live with him?" Hai Rui said: "Lord Hui, the lower officials have confirmed that he is not a widow, so there is no need to go on the trial. The destination of him and Xiaguan is the capital, so they live together and travel together when the time comes. The prefect said with a smile: "The widow is cunning, Haizhi County is careless, you are about to leave office, so hand over this person to the official to deal with." ”

Hai Rui said: "The case has been closed, this person is a good citizen of my Ming Dynasty, and the prefect can't arrest people casually." The prefect sneered twice and said, "I heard that Haizhi County has the habit of resisting, and this prefect can be regarded as a leader today." Your Chun'an County belongs to my Hangzhou Prefecture, unless you have conclusive evidence to prove that he is a Ming person, otherwise this official has the right to re-arraign, take it away!" Hai Rui blocked their way and said: "Even if the adults want to bring people, the lower officials will also participate in the trial, and if the incident happened in Chun'an, the lower officials also have the right to be tried." The prefect smiled: "Yes, you will leave tomorrow, let the new prefect come to Hangzhou for trial." ”

Hai Rui said: "Your Excellency, please ask how you will interrogate you, and whether you will torture to extract confessions." The prefect lowered his face and said, "It's none of your business." Hai Rui wanted to say more, Nangong Yu suddenly said: "May I ask if the prefect's surname is Wang?" The prefect was stunned, turned around and said: "Have you seen this official?" Nangong Yu said: "The villain has never seen an adult, but he knows the adult's nephew, Wang Hanli." Wang Zhifu was surprised: "Do you know the little nephew?" Nangong Yu smiled: "Yes, I remember once when I chatted with Wang Hanli, he once said that the official was bought by their family for 10,000 taels of silver, and you said that you would pay back the money within two years after taking office, but it was paid off in less than two years, I don't know if that's the case?"
