Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Tuo led people away, Xue Poye knew that Liu Tuo had been truly offended today.
But this Liu Tuo is so fucking mean. He even came to prevent him from getting close to Xiao Suzhen. How could he snatch a woman like this? Judging from his appearance, he was polite and serious, but what he did was so disdainful. If this matter was told to Xiao Suzhen
, I wonder what she would think? But Xue Poye also understood that Xiao Suzhen had a very good impression of Liu Tuo. Even if she told this matter, she would most likely not believe it.
When I walked to the window, I saw Liu Tuo already standing beside the carriage, raising his head unexpectedly. The two looked at each other up and down. Liu Tuo sneered, with an indescribably weird look on his face, and boarded the carriage.
Xue Poye returned to the backyard and happened to meet Yue Zhu. Yue Zhu was surprised and happy. The two went to Little Fairy's house and had a conversation. Xue Poye only said that the search was far away last night and it rained again, so
After failing to come back, he naturally didn't say anything about meeting the little fairy. The two exchanged sighs, and Xue Poye went out to find Lao Song again and asked him about the news in the government.
People come and go in Lan Yuexuan, and there are quite a few people who know many secret things. Lao Song traveled through it and heard a lot, which can be regarded as a kaleidoscope.
"Well, shopkeeper, I heard from them that Inspector Mou has been detained and imprisoned. They said that he bumped into his superiors, showed no respect and humiliation, and assisted the Wang Prefect in doing many corrupt things and perverting the law, so he was imprisoned pending trial."
Song's information is indeed well-informed.
Xue Poye nodded. After the nest was overturned, there were no intact eggs. This was something to be expected. Inspector Mou was a rough man, and the crime of arresting him was really simple.
Old Song lowered his voice again and said: "I heard them say privately that He Tongsuan is now single-handedly controlling Hangzhou's operations, and he may become the new Hangzhou prefect, but I don't know if it is true or not!" He sighed, shook his head and said: "
Then Judge He Tong is greedy for money and lustful, if he becomes the prefect, we in Hangzhou will not have a good life."
Xue Poye frowned, thinking about the conversation between Lao Tan and Wang Shizhen, it was quite possible that He Tongpan would become the prefect of Hangzhou.
Immediately, he asked Lao Song to pay attention to see if there was any news about Wang Shizhen's family. Lao Song agreed repeatedly. After many instructions, Xue Poye was already sighing and went back to the office on the third floor to take a rest.
This sleep was not disturbed by anyone, and I slept very sweetly. It was not until the morning of the second day that I woke up leisurely. When I woke up, I found that I was covered with clothes. Of course, Yuezhu came to cover me at night, which made me feel warm.
After eating some breakfast, Han Mozhuang never came. Xue Poye smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the old master was really annoyed and stopped coming to teach.
There is not much time left before the college examination that Lao Tan mentioned. If he doesn't learn at all, Lao Tan will definitely make trouble for himself.
After cleaning up, Xue Poye rode the golden lion and left Lan Yuexuan.
Han Mozhuang didn't come over because he was just annoyed that he didn't go to class on time. Lao Tan must have known about this. In any case, he should make up a reason to explain and let Lao Tan lead the way to apologize to Han Mozhuang.
In fact, the old master is still a good master and very responsible. This time he is angry because he hates the iron. If we go over and apologize, and with Lao Tan talking next to him, it should be easy to handle.
I haven’t seen Lao Tan for a few days, and I don’t know what the old guy is up to.
After passing the West Lake, I saw a small group of talented people coming in front of me. They all slapped their hands with fans and sighed repeatedly.
When the group of talented people passed by, there were three or two talented people in front of them. One of them seemed very angry and said repeatedly: "It's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness, it's too much!" Several talented people nearby tried to persuade them.
Xue Poye got off his horse, pulled a talented man and asked, "What happened to this elegant and elegant man?"
As soon as the man broke free, he started to curse: "Who is so rude? Are you asking such a question? It's vulgar and insulting to gentlemen!" Several other people also echoed in unison, giving Xue Poye a look of contempt.
Xue Poye didn't show any concern, he chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I saw the gentle man looking angry, and it's a little strange. How many of you readers dare to offend me?"
"So what if you know, so what if you don't know, even we can't take care of this matter, how can you take care of it? What a joke!" The scholar was very disdainful. I'm afraid no one in the world can take care of things that we gentlemen can't take care of.
Xue Poye said sternly: "These talented men are handsome and unrestrained. They are very knowledgeable people at first glance. They can be said to be the future pillars of our great Chu. Some people dare to offend you. I just can't stand it, little brother." He looked upright.
, filled with righteous indignation.
The talented people were a little surprised when they heard what he said. One of them was very imaginative and approached and said, "Could it be that you are a chivalrous and righteous knight who specializes in injustice?"
Xue Poye was stunned for a moment, feeling amused in his heart, and said deceitfully: "What about the scholar's opinion?"
The talented man thought he was smart and said: "I understand, I understand!" He showed a proud smile, pulled Xue Poye aside, and whispered: "My hero, do you dare to come out during the day?"
Oh my God, I’m not a ghost. Why don’t I come out during the day? Xue Poye wanted to strangle this talented man to death, but he managed a smile and said, “Well... come out and get some air!”
The talented man shook his head and sighed: "It's so pitiful, my hero, something tragic and tragic happened in front of me!"
Xue Poye frowned and said, "It's so tragic? What happened?"
The scholar sighed: "I left for tea. I heard that the prefect Wang was escorted to Kyoto. As soon as I left, something happened in the backyard."
Xue Poye's pupils shrank, and he suddenly thought of Wang Shizhen's entrustment. Could it be that those people couldn't wait any longer and started to embarrass Wang Shizhen's family before he was convicted?
This speed is too fast!
"Is it...Mrs. Wang?" Xue Poye said calmly.
The scholar nodded and said: "Yes, it is the young man who was left by the Wang Zhifu. He was kicked out by the government early this morning. He is now outside the government office. What a pitiful thing. The orphan and the widowed mother are so pitiful!"
The corners of Xue Poye's eyes twitched. Without further words, he got on his horse and galloped away.
Several talented people were startled at first, and then said: "Let's go to the West Lake, think of some good words, and scold the unhealthy trends."
…
…
Xue Poye was very depressed and angry. Before, Wang Shizhen asked to take care of his family and children. Xue Poye said that he was just worrying too much. The so-called crime does not burden his wife and children. Besides, Wang Shizhen has not been found guilty yet, so he should take care of his family.
My family should be very safe, but I never expected someone to attack so quickly.
Along the way, many people complained and showed sympathy. Xue Poye knew that although Wang Shizhen went to Beijing to be tried this time, his reputation in Hangzhou had always been excellent, and his achievements were also good.
It was obvious that something had happened this time, but many people still felt sympathy.
As soon as we turned to the official street, we saw groups of people crowded together in twos and threes, talking in low voices. Occasionally, I heard that they were all talking about the tragic scene of Mrs. Wang.
This was an official street, so ordinary people could not ride big horses in broad daylight. Xue Poye got off his horse, held the reins of the horse, and squeezed through the crowd. He saw a group of people gathered not far in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward and squeezed through the crowd. He heard someone inside shouting: "Spread out, spread out, go away, what are you doing?" Xue Poye could see clearly that it was two government officials who were dispersing the crowd, but There were so many people that it was difficult to disperse them at once.
Not far behind the yamen servant, I saw a pure and pure woman in light white sitting upright. She was less than forty years old, but she still had charm. She wore a white brocade lily skirt, her face was turned upward, and she had no gold or silver ornaments. Wearing it, but the whole person looks graceful and luxurious, with a calm expression, sitting quietly on the stone steps, with a large package beside him. On the package, sitting is a little girl less than ten years old, who is extremely delicate, and next to her There was also a little boy who looked very similar to the little girl. He gritted his teeth and looked at the government servants coldly.
Xue Poye looked at the two children, and there was a shadow of Wang Shizhen between his eyebrows. There was no doubt that these children were Wang Shizhen's children, and the noble woman was naturally Wang Shizhen's wife, Mrs. Wang.
A yamen official said loudly: "This is the family of the corrupt official Wang Shizhen. Anyone who helps him is helping the tyrants to commit evil. He will be dragged into the yamen for interrogation. This Wang Shizhen has taken bribes and violated the law in Hangzhou. He has many accomplices. As mentioned above, whoever If you come out, you will become a comrade, and you will be punished severely."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she just sneered and did not defend herself.
At this moment, I heard a familiar voice ringing in my ears, saying coaxingly: "Who is it? Who is this?" A person squeezed out from the crowd. He was as fat as a pig, but his skin was extremely fair. , with a sly eyebrow and narrow eyes, is actually Lu Fu, the housekeeper of the Lu family.
When Xue Poye saw him coming out, he knew something was up to him, so he frowned and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
The officer seemed to know Lu Fu and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Butler Lu? Why do you have time to go out for a walk today?"
Butler Lu chuckled and said, "I heard there was a lot of fun here, and I happened to pass by. Huang Laosi, whose mother-in-law is this? What are you doing sitting here?"
He directly called the yamen servant Huang Laosi. Huang Laosi was not angry and said with a smile: "These are the wife and children of Lord Wang, the prefect of Hangzhou. Why, Butler Lu wants to get to know them?"
Butler Lu stared at Mrs. Wang with fascination, then walked over, looked her over, and said, "Sir, Mr. Huang, why is the magistrate's wife sitting on the stone steps? Isn't this unreasonable?"
Huang Laosi stroked his beard and said: "Wang Shizhen went to Beijing to be tried, and I'm afraid she will never come back. If the Lord wants to use the courtyard of the government office, the prefect's wife will naturally make room for it."
One talented man was filled with righteous indignation and said: "Why does He Tongpan live in the government office? This government office is the place of the magistrate. Tongpan has his own Tongpan Mansion. What status does he have to live in the government office?" As soon as the talented man finished speaking, what followed was Everyone also echoed loudly.
The officer immediately said: "Are you Wang Shizhen's accomplice? Tell me quickly. Otherwise, why would you speak for Wang Shizhen?"
The talented man did have some courage, and said with a straight face: "If it doesn't conform to etiquette and doesn't understand emotions, I will naturally tell you the truth."
The yamen servant sneered and said: "You people are so frivolous, but I'm not afraid to tell you that it makes sense for He Tongxuan to live in the yamen. The imperial decree will come down soon, and the Hangzhou magistrate will soon have a surname of He!"
There was a lot of confusion and discussion.
Xue Poye sneered in his heart: "You are so blatant in your propaganda. If He knows about it, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of you. I am afraid that He himself will not dare to talk nonsense about such official secrets."
A wise man said: "Even so, can't we embarrass Mr. Wang's family like this?"
Huang Laosi said leisurely: "The family is in trouble? Tell me, why are we in trouble? Wang Shizhen has gone to Kyoto now. To put it bluntly, there is no return. The prefect of Hangzhou is no longer surnamed Wang. This government office
It’s not the private property of their Wang family, so it naturally needs to be freed up. As for you, I said that whoever comes to help will naturally be Wang Shizhen’s accomplice. Wang Shizhen is corrupt and perverts the law, and he doesn’t know how much money he has swallowed. The Wang family has a lot of money, so they can use it.
I don’t need your mercy." He spoke extremely coldly and quite arrogantly.
The talented people were filled with righteous indignation, but after all, the officialdom was an authoritative institution, and Wang Shizhen did go to Beijing for trial. If they were all labeled as Wang Shizhen's accomplices, their future would be really ruined.
After all, scholars read about right and wrong, but few of them possess the chivalrous spirit of a chivalrous man, who can eliminate violence and bring peace to the good, draw his sword to help when encountering injustices, and that kind of heroic spirit cannot be learned by scholars.dd
