(I don’t know how much essence there is in the Jingjing conference tonight. Please recommend me, dear friends!)
-
He Yuan, whose nickname is He Chang, is a well-known big shot in Sanshan Town and even Fuyang County. He is in his early forties, tall and tall, with round eyes, showing excess energy, and a big mouth, tightly pursed.
With a hint of arrogance.
He does have the right to be arrogant because he is the grain boss of Sanshan Town.
The country's 30 million stone tax on grain was collected by the country's 3,000 grain chiefs. In order to win over these rural officials who did not receive salaries, Zhu Yuanzhang gave them many privileges, such as being hereditary, having the right to manage the villagers, and intervening in the judiciary.
.If they do well, they do not need to take the scientific examination and become an official in the court after being recommended. Zhu Yuanzhang often called them to ask questions, understand the people's conditions, and even ask for advice on how to solve problems. After the conversation was satisfactory, some were retained as officials, and even
Can be the chief envoy!
The grain chiefs of this era were all powerful and powerful figures, such as Chang He. He inherited a huge estate from his father and the title of grain chief, which in the eyes of the country people was incredible.
He lived in a high-gate compound in Sanshan Town, raised several wives and concubines, and indulged in drinking and sex all day long. He was also good at dancing with guns and sticks, and made friends with people in the world. He was very famous in Fuyang and even in western Zhejiang.
This morning, he was drinking wine with his favorite concubine Linghua in his arms. Her face was spring-colored and her autumn eyes were passionate. She was wearing a fitted lake-green dress with ribbons and a pink embroidered jacket. She was holding her hand tightly.
Her slim waist makes her look extraordinarily beautiful.
He Yuanwai put his arms around the beauty's slender waist, listened to her soft words, and said with infinite intoxication: "Linghua, I have been tired of you for two years, why don't I get tired of you?"
"I know how to coax people." Linghua covered her mouth and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I should tell them the same thing."
"What I told them is false, but what I tell you is true." Mr. He smiled seductively and opened his hands dishonestly.
Linghua held his hand and said, "It's broad daylight..."
"You can only see it clearly when you show off your prostitution in the daytime. What's the meaning of black and white?" He Yuanwai said and went to untie the ribbon around her waist.
"Don't." Linghua's voice trembled: "I'm feeling panicked right now. I always dream about the officials rushing in and taking me away."
"What are you afraid of?" He Yuanwai laughed loudly and said: "I am the hereditary grain chief, who dares to come to my house to search? What's more, the shelter built by my family in the late dynasty is perfect. You can hide in it and search it for a hundred years.
Not even there!" He pinched the beauty's breasts and comforted her: "Besides, the outside world thought you were dead a long time ago, so where can I look for you?"
"Yes." The beauty finally let go of her worries and was moved by his caressing, moaning and twisting her delicate body.
He Yuanwai smiled evilly and was about to pick up his gun and mount his horse to fight the beauty for three hundred rounds. Suddenly he heard the voice of the butler He Fu outside: "Master, someone from the county sent a letter saying that an official came to the house with a ticket to pick up someone!"
"Ah!" Linghua was scared to death, and He Yuanwai also became nervous and said: "How is that possible?" He quickly adjusted his clothes and said to Linghua: "You hide, I will deal with it outside."
"Yeah." Linghua didn't bother to pack her clothes, so she stumbled into the inner room.
He Yuanwai came to the front hall and saw that it was Hou San, the white servant of the execution room, and the follower of Xu Dianli of the execution room whom he had befriended. He clasped his fists and said, "Hou has invited you, what happened?"
Then Hou San told He Changzhi about the situation in court earlier. After hearing this, He Changwai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What else should I do?"
"It's naturally a trivial matter for Yuanwai," Hou Sanpai said with a smile, "But it's better to be prepared. I think there are quite a few people coming, and they must be trying to rip off Yuanwai."
"Humph." He Chang snorted: "The blackmail hit me on the head!"
As the saying goes, "A little ink in the hall is worth a thousand drops of blood among the people." That little ink is the ink pen used by the county magistrate to sign the ticket. The policeman will use this ticket to blackmail the person who has been passed on. First, harass and intimidate, and then ask for money.
'Errand money', 'shoe money', 'wine and meal money', and even further 'buy and release money', 'grace money'... If the person being hooked does not buy the bill, is unwilling to pay, or the bid is too low
, the policeman would tear his clothes, get some blood, and report to the person being hooked for resisting the arrest by force. Then he would get the arrest ticket, and the arrested person would wait for his family to be destroyed.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that officials were coming to seize people with tickets, the people, rich or poor, felt as if the world was falling. Of course, He Yuanwai was not afraid. He just thought it was troublesome and patiently said to Hou San: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hou."
, the food and drinks are set out later..."
"I have to go back quickly. It will be embarrassing if we run into each other." Hou San declined quickly.
"Well, let's wait for another day." He Yuanwai took out five half-new banknotes from his sleeve and sent Hou San away.
As soon as Hou San left, He Yuanwai slammed the table: "Those idiots in Zhuzhu are recognized by others!" He said irritably and ordered He Fu: "Tell the six of them to go to Tonglu County to hide, without me.
Send a message not to come back."
"yes."
~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as the six pillars were sent away, the official came to the door.
Because he was the grain chief of the first district, the police officers did not dare to make any mistakes. They politely knocked on the door and explained their intention before being welcomed into the house by the He family.
He Yuanwai had already changed into a silk turban, a long-sleeved toga, a leather belt around his waist, and black boots. He stood in front of the hall with a smile to greet him. His attire was not ordinary. It was a grain transport in the fifth year of Yongle.
When I entered Beijing, it was given to me by Your Majesty.
Zhang Mazi bowed respectfully and was invited to the flower hall by He Yuanwai. After serving tea, he asked: "I wonder what you have done for me to come to our village?"
"On the order of the county master, I came to your place to arrest the suspect. If I have offended anyone, please forgive me." Justice is the elegant name of the grain chief.
"Oh?" He Chang looked surprised and said, "What suspects will there be in my family?"
"It's like this..." Zhang Mazi told the story from beginning to end. When he heard this, Yuan Wai was furious and shouted: "Slander, it's pure slander! My master has not been to the county seat in the past half month!"
"Justice, please calm down," Zhang Mazi said with a smile, "I would never believe that Zhengyi's family would harbor evildoers, but I had to do this as I was ordered to do."
"Then please Master Zhang, please go back and explain to your parents that there is no criminal in my family." He Chang said, took out a wad of treasure money from his sleeve, pushed it in front of Zhang Mazi and said, "Brothers, why don't you go back and forth?"
Easy, I’ll treat everyone to a drink.”
"Haha, it can't be this much." Zhang Mazi took the banknotes and said with great joy: "Then I'll talk to the complainer."
"Thank you." He Chang nodded.
Zhang Mazi went out for a moment, and He Chang heard crying and howling in the yard. He Fu ran in in a panic and said, "The master is in trouble, someone is going to die."
"You're the one who's going to kill me!" He Chang spat at him, "Bad luck!" He quickly went out and saw Wang Er lying on the door panel with his head covered in blood and a pick in his hand.
He held the bone-pointed knife against his heart and shouted to the guards: "I will be beheaded when I go back anyway, so I might as well die here!"
Zhang Mazi had an angry look on his face, but he didn't dare to step forward. He could only persuade him from the side: "Don't mess around. I didn't say not to search, so don't mess around..." As he was talking, he saw He Yuan coming out, and he
He said hurriedly: "Just do me a favor. If the plaintiff dies in your home, you really can't explain it to the great master."
Zhang Mazi had already given him face, and it would be unreasonable for He Chang not to return the favor. He gave Wang Xian a disgusted look and said, "How do you want me to cooperate, Mr. Zhang?"
"Master Zhang, please gather all the men in the house here and let this boy recognize him."
"Okay, just give Master Zhang this face." He Yuanwai said in a muffled voice: "He Fu, do as Master Zhang orders."
"Yes." He Fu responded. After a while, the housekeeper, the accountant and the cook... No. 15 came to the front yard.
"Are these all men?" Zhang Mazi asked.
"Yes." He Chang nodded and said, "There is also my eight-year-old son, would you like to call him over too?"
"Of course not." Zhang Mazi smiled sheepishly, turned around and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Recognize someone!"
Shuai Hui walked over and looked around, then came back and shook his head, "Not here."
"It's not that I'm not here, it's that I'm not there." He Yuanwai snorted, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Who are you lying to?" Wang Xian said loudly: "I have inquired about it a long time ago. Your nursing home is known as the Eight Great Vajras. There are only two strong men here, and there are six others!"
He Yuanwai glanced at Wang Xian unexpectedly. He didn't expect this boy to come prepared, so he snorted and said, "I'm not young enough. My family can't afford to support so many idle people, so I have sent them home a long time ago."
"Liar, I saw one the day before yesterday!" Seeing his denial, Shuai Hui got very angry and said loudly: "That guy has a tumor on his head, I'm sure he's a good person!"
"Lord, he must be hiding those bad guys!" Wang Xian shouted loudly: "If you search, you will definitely find them!"
"Nonsense, this is a squire's residence, how can we search randomly?" Zhang Mazi was furious. When Wang Xian raised the knife, he punched it in his heart and shouted quickly: "No, no, no, everything is easy to discuss!"
"If you don't search, you just want to kill me, so I might as well die." Wang Xian used all his tricks.
"Are you finished?" Zhang Mazi said angrily: "One after another!"
"Just this one out, I can't identify him if you can't find him."
"I won't stop you if you regret it again." Zhang Mazi turned around and said with a deliberation expression: "Justice, why not..."
"No!" He Yuanwai said flatly: "You can't afford to be blamed for shocking the women in my house!" After saying that, he felt that his tone was too harsh, and softened: "Don't accept such rogue threats, I will go with you.
See the county magistrate, I won’t let you take any responsibility!”
"Let's do a search!" A loud voice sounded, and a bright-haired man appeared at the door.
Behind him, more than a dozen police officers and strong civilians came in, supporting three tied-up men. They were three of the six people whom Yuan Yuan had fled to Lin County.
He bowed his hands to Yuan He, and Hu Captou said in a rough voice: "Brother caught these people outside and confessed that there are three accomplices in the house."
"Nonsense!" He Yuanwai took a look, changed his expression, and blurted out: "We obviously walked together!"
