In the afternoon, Yuzhu left the city in a light carriage and went to the official reception pavilion in Shili.
Yuzhu sat steadily in the pavilion drinking tea. Wu Jiang led people to take out several red lacquer food boxes from the carriage and put them in the pavilion.
After waiting for about an hour, a group of people came from a distance.
"Master, Mr. Zhou and his whole family are back." Wu Sheng came on horseback to report.
Yuzhu stood up after hearing the words, walked to the roadside outside the pavilion, and looked to the east.
About a quarter of an hour later, only a dozen official officials were seen, escorting a large group of people in ragged clothes, walking slowly over.
At this time, I saw the leader coming on horseback. He ran close to him, got off the horse, strode to the front of Yuzhu, and saluted.
"I am an assistant leader under the command of Deputy Governor Ning Guta. I hold a humble position, Yang Lisen. Please be safe."
Yuzhu personally helped Yang Lisen up and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Yang Zuoling."
Yang Lisen grinned and said respectfully: "I am willing to serve you, even if my humble position is painful."
As the escorted prisoners gradually approached, they saw an unkempt scholar striding towards Yuzhu.
"Thank you so much, Marquis Yu, for saving me. I will never forget it because of the inscription." The man knelt down in front of Yuzhu and wanted to salute him.
Yuzhu quickly knelt down with him, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and complained: "You and I are the same age, why do you need so many gifts? Please get up quickly."
Well, this person is none other than Zhou Quan, who was in the same year as Yuzhu's Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination.
Zhou Quan's father, Zhou Kuang, a former doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was implicated in the prince's party. He died of a sudden illness on the way to Ninggu Pagoda.
After Yuzhu became the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the commander of the infantry army, he secretly found people to carry out some activities, spoke for Zhou Quan, and pardoned his entire family back to the capital.
However, there was nothing Yuzhu could do about Zhou Quan's reputation as a civil servant, and he could only be punished forever.
After a brief greeting, Yuzhu took Zhou Quan's hand and sat side by side on the second floor of the restaurant next to the reception pavilion.
Niu Tai, who came with him, and Yang Lisen, his assistant from Ning Guta, sat on the first floor of the restaurant and ordered the store owner to buy a table for them to eat and chat.
During the same year, while drinking, we talked about our farewells.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, with your care, my life in Ninggu Pagoda is actually not bad. There are people who take care of the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. I also have clothes for the four seasons of the year. Moreover,
, and the cloaks and clothes to keep out the cold are also ready..."
After listening to Zhou Quan's detailed description, Yuzhu couldn't help but nodded frequently. The Fucha family was located in Heilongjiang and Ningguta, and its potential power was not as huge as usual.
The officials who offended the emperor were still the prince's party, but Zhou Quan's family could actually live a comfortable life in Ninggu Pagoda.
This is all the result of the Fucha family!
Zhou Quan took a sip of his wine and added, "I was afraid of getting you into trouble. After we passed Yongping Mansion, I and my family dressed up like this insignificant way."
Yongping Mansion is the ancient Lulong Fortress!
Yuzhu smiled dumbly, Zhou Quan was still the shrewd Zhou Zhusheng, he was indeed quite scheming.
"After your family comes back, you still need to go through the procedures in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments before a formal decree of pardon is issued." Yuzhu explained his arrangement in detail, so that Zhou Quan would be well aware of it and avoid any trouble.
Zhou Quan wrote them down one by one, and finally asked Yuzhu seriously: "I actually didn't suffer too much in Ninggu Pagoda, but I am a little worried about you. Will my father be implicated?"
Yuzhu also said with a smile that he would not say anything secretly in front of others, "If your father is still here, it will be really troublesome."
Zhou Quan is also a very sensible person, and he understands immediately. His father, Zhou Kuang, is one of the prince's best friends.
If Zhou Kuang was still alive, Yu Zhu would not have the guts to secretly pardon Zhou Quan.
Now, since Zhou Kuang died a long time ago, Zhou Quan was in the same year as Yuzhu's provincial examination, and he was still a candidate for permanent reform.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Quan would never pose any threat to the imperial court or Kangxi from now on.
However, Yuzhu had the ability to pardon Zhou Quan so quickly. Zhou Quan knew it well: Yuhou, he is in the emperor's heart!
Zhou's family has been confiscated, and even if he is pardoned from the Ministry of Punishment prison and returns home, he will still be homeless.
It was appropriate for Yuzhu to do things. He rented a large courtyard in advance for Zhou Quan's family.
It's said to be a rental, but it's actually a property under the name of Zhen, the boss of Universe Bank.
The rent must be paid, but that is just to deceive others.
In a word, Zhou Kuang is dead. Zhou Quan is not part of the prince's party, but is just implicated by his late father.
In the same year that Yuzhu took care of the old rural examination, even if he was accused of blackmail, Kangxi could only think that Yuzhu was a person who valued friendship.
After Zhou Quan was settled, Yuzhu personally handed Yang Lisen a name card and said solemnly: "If you have any difficulties, you can use this card to come to my house."
Yuzhu didn't say it clearly, but Yang Lisen was not a fool, so how could he not understand the secret?
Marquis Yu's famous post is a stepping stone to enter the Jade Mansion anytime and anywhere, but it's worth a lot of money!
Yang Lisenzhaqian saluted, grinned, and said, "To be honest with you, I have already given you the order. I ordered you to live in the old marshal's house when you return."
This was only half of what he said, but it revealed how much the Fucha family valued Yang Lisen.
In this era, anyone who enters someone else's home or lives in someone else's home is an unusual form of friendship.
The old commander, Heilongjiang General Sabu Suye!
The uncle is Fucha Changde!
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Yang Lisen was born in Goshiha, a personal soldier of Sabusu, and was obviously a member of the Fucha family who could trust him.
After returning to the city, Yuzhu went to Toujia Lane, intending to visit Lao Shisan.
When he entered, Lao Shisan was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, basking in the sun with his back facing the sky.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that even though Old Thirteen had great ambitions, he could only lie in a trough, unable to move at all!
No matter how heroic this person is, once he loses his freedom and is trapped in a small courtyard the size of a palm, the wear and tear on his spirit is self-evident.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuzhu walked slowly to the stone table and did not disturb Lao Shisan's daze, but just sat quietly beside him.
The reason for being kind to Lao Shisan is not complicated.
Firstly, Lao Shisan is a kind-hearted person and deserves to be the king of chivalry; secondly, since Yuzhu and Lao Shisan have a good relationship, they will have the opportunity to grasp Lao Shisan’s actual movements in advance on important nights in the future.
Yuzhu only knows how the old Thirteen in history controlled the Fengtai camp, but not the details.
The infantry command yamen, including three thousand of the New Army, were all handed over to Yuzhu by Kangxi. This was a great trust.
Over at Fengtai Camp, if Yuzhu dares to interfere secretly, he will commit suicide and lose his head!
Yuzhu calmly sat with the distracted Lao Shisan for nearly a quarter of an hour when he suddenly heard Lao Shisan say slowly, "Why bother to be born into an emperor's family?"
This is unacceptable!
Yuzhu deliberately pretended to be confused and remained silent.
Unexpectedly, Old Thirteen said again: "For that chair, the eldest brother was trapped, and the second brother was almost there, and I have already come in. Alas, this is the third circle."
Still unable to answer the conversation, Yuzhu continued to pretend to be confused.
Where did the old Thirteen come from so much nonsense?
Happy grudges, seize the day!
Back then, Lao San severely offended Lao Thirteen. Lao Thirteen didn't tolerate him at all. He clenched his fists and beat his mother in public. How could it be so fast?
However, the result of the beating was that the third child was only stripped of his title as a county king and demoted to Dorobele.
As for Old Thirteen, he knelt on the bluestone floor for a long time. He also had a serious problem with his legs.
Later, the fourth child took the place of the thirteenth child. I don’t know how many doctors were invited, but they could not cure it and could not eradicate the root cause.
In winter, no matter how hot the kang was, Lao Shisan's legs would feel the unbearable sting of thousands of ants.
"Hey, you are much better than Long San. If you don't mention anything else, just by keeping your mouth shut, you are ten times stronger than Long San." Lao Shisan was finally willing to look at Yuzhu.
The son does not complain about the father's fault.
Lao Shisan deliberately said that Long Ke was wrong in front of Yuzhu. How could Yuzhu answer the question?
Yuzhu remained silent, which made Lao Shisan feel depressed. He couldn't help but sigh: "You are so difficult to deal with, I have finally convinced you."
Old Thirteen has an unruly temper, and after being locked up for a long time, his heart will inevitably become distorted.
Yuzhu could completely understand Lao Shisan's depression, so he was willing to act as his punching bag.
To put it bluntly, this is the Thirteenth Prince of Xia, and Yuzhu can offer the greatest degree of tolerance.
If it were the stupid boss, Yuzhu would have turned around and left long ago!
After Lao Thirteen did not dare to continue his venomous remarks, Yuzhu smiled and said: "I brought fine wine and delicacies. Master Thirteen, how many cups can I accompany you?"
After the food and wine were put in place, Lao Shisan summoned his direct descendant Fujin, Zhaojia, for the first time in history.
After Yuzhu saw the ceremony, Lao Shisan filled two cups of wine with his own hands, handed one cup to Zhaojia, and sighed: "Oh, I don't have the ability, so you have to suffer."
Zhaojia glanced at Yuzhu, smiled and said to Lao Shisan: "Sir, we are supposed to share joys and sorrows, so why do you have to say these foreign words?"
After Lao Shisan made a toast, he simply called Zhaojia and sat down at the table, where everyone drank together.
The aunts from Manchuria may look average. However, the vigor in their bodies is definitely not comparable to that of the ladies of the Han Dynasty who were forced to have their feet bound.
During the dinner, Zhaojia took the initiative to suggest: "Master, let's guess a few punches to help the fun?"
Lao Shisan laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay, it's up to you!"
As a result, the sound of vulgar guessing was heard in the small courtyard.
"What a pair."
"Eight horses."
"Three stars shine."
"Xian Sihong is happy."
"Liu Liushun, hehe, sir, you are bad at boxing again, drink and drink!"
What is stink boxing?
For example, if you called "Eight Horses", but only one or two came out in your hand, the opponent cannot have six or seven fingers, so it would be considered a "stinky punch".
For another example, if you get five, but you shout "Hello, brothers", this is also considered a "stinky punch".
When the boxing was in full swing, Zhaojia actually stepped on the stool with one foot, yelling and punching in an extremely aggressive manner.
Well, she looks like a shrew. How can she still have the dignity of Fujin, the prince's brother's direct descendant?
However, Yuzhu looked on coldly, and Lao Shisan continued to do this, grinning from ear to ear with joy!
There is no other way, they are in jail, no matter how miserable Lao Shisan and his wife are, they still have to enjoy the misery!
