When Lin Jue saw this, he basically understood what was going on. So he walked up slowly and shouted in a deep voice: "You guys are eating official meals, how can you be so unbecoming? How can you do this on the street with bandits?"
different?"
The noisy government officials turned their heads when they heard the words. Chen Jue, the government official, saw that Lin Jue was neatly dressed and did not look like an ordinary person. He blurted out half of a curse word and swallowed it back.
"Where did the dog come from...who are you? We are doing business, why are you talking so much? Do you want to hinder our business?"
Lin Jue said coldly: "Is this how you do your work? The Changping New Law and the Recruitment Law promulgated by Master Fang and Master Yan are all for the sake of the people and to save the people from suffering. It would be better for you to fight.
Aren’t you feeling guilty if you openly seize the banner of the new law here?”
"Hey, where did this bitch come from? You are so honest. Are you talking too much about public affairs? Do you think we are afraid because we know the names of Master Fang and Master Yan? This family owes Chang Ping Cang Loan Bank interest and
We were ordered by the magistrate to seize the exemption money and put it into the treasury. Why are you here meddling in your business? Do you want to cause trouble?" Lao Wang, the Yamen servant, shouted from the side.
Lin Jue turned around and stared at him. Lao Wang was inexplicably frightened, but he refused to back down.
"What are you scolding me for?" Lin Jue said coldly.
"Why are you scolding you? Just call you a bitch..."
"Pop!" A crisp sound shocked everyone. The government official Lao Wang covered his heart-wrenching mouth, blood gurgling between his fingers.
"You...you fucking dare to hit someone. Brothers, take him down and beat him to death." Lao Wang shouted with blood spurting from his mouth.
A group of government officials rushed up one after another. Lin Jue stood still and shouted loudly: "I wonder who of you dares? Believe it or not, I will make you all lose your jobs and ask you for your crimes. Today I want to see who of you dares to touch me."
Fingers.”
All the government officials were attracted by his momentum, but they hesitated. Mr. Wang, the government official, cursed: "Why don't you give it to me? You bastards, how can you be frightened by just one word? This man beat the official, we are doing it for him."
Why are government officials afraid of him?"
When the officials heard what was said, they thought it was reasonable and clamored forward. Lin Hu grabbed an iron rod from under the car seat and rushed over. The little princess in the car loudly ordered the people accompanying the car to go to the palace to call for help. The scene became chaotic.
.
Suddenly, one of the onlookers shouted out: "Isn't this... Lin Jue, the third-bedroom son of the Lin family who is the top scholar in high school? Didn't he say he was an official in the capital, why did he come back to Hangzhou?"
"..." All the government officials were stunned. Although Lin Jue had left Hangzhou for more than a year, his name was well-known in Hangzhou. Who wouldn't be proud of the first number one scholar in Hangzhou in a century? Not to mention that he was from Prince Liang's Mansion.
My dear son-in-law, there is still a rumor in Hangzhou city that he is famous for seizing courtesans and fighting pirates. Although these government officials have never met, they are already famous.
How can Lin Zhuangyuan be someone you can mess with? You actually met him today. How can you do anything? Are you looking for death?
The yamen servant Lao Chen immediately came forward with a smile on his face and said, "Are you really Lin Zhuangyuan?"
Lin Jue snorted coldly and said: "It doesn't matter who you are, what kind of things are you people doing?"
Old Chen, the yamen servant, hurriedly bowed and said: "Lin Zhuangyuan, it's no wonder we are here. The superiors are pressing hard. This family took the money and refused to pay interest. If the superiors want to investigate, we have no choice. We can only move things and arrest people to pay off the debt. I
I didn't know that Lin Zhuangyuan was here, and I would be offended. Old Wang, why don't you come and help Lin Zhuangyuan? You, you, hey, you are really seeking death."
The government official Lao Wang covered his bloody mouth and came forward dizzy to salute. Lin Jue shouted coldly: "You piece of shit, is this how you treat the people on weekdays? Today's emperor advocates virtue, etiquette, and rule. It's better for you people to corrupt the court.
Each one's reputation is more powerful than the other. If it hadn't been for me today, would I have been beaten to death by you guys on the spot?"
When the yamen servant Lao Wang heard the unkind words, his legs became weak and he knelt down to kowtow. All the yamen servants also knelt down and kowtowed to blame themselves. Lin Jue sighed, knowing that these people were not to blame for this matter. They were just the people below doing things, and the ones above were
The policy is like this, and there is nothing they can do about it. It's just that these guys are too cruel, and they only rely on human power.
"That's it, everyone, get up, look at you people, you bully others and make them sick." Lin Jue cursed.
"Yes, yes, we will leave immediately to avoid causing Lin Zhuangyuan discomfort. Mr. Lin Zhuangyuan is in large numbers, so don't be angry." Old Chen, the yamen servant, said hurriedly.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "No more moving things? No more arresting people?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," the government officials said hurriedly.
Lin Jue said: "Then how will you explain it when you go back?"
The government officials looked at each other, and Lao Chen sighed: "What else can we do? Just let the magistrate scold us. We can't do this anymore. It's good to go home and farm. Alas, it's not easy to farm."
Lin Jue sighed, turned to Lin Hu, who was holding the iron rod, and said, "Take the money and pay them the interest and exemption money. Pay them the errand."
Lin Hu smacked his lips and said, "Uncle, we can't take care of this kind of thing, and we're not from this family."
Lin Jue glared and said: "If you can't afford it, you have to take care of it. Take care of everyone you see. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Hu stuck out his tongue and did not dare to say any more. He took out some money and went up to ask the family how much money they owed. He immediately gave seven taels of silver to the government officials. He was angry and cursed the government officials.
They didn't dare to say anything. After getting the money, Lin Jue waved his hand, and a group of people fled in a hurry.
Lin Jue turned around and walked towards the carriage. The couple seemed to be in a dream, and when they kowtowed in shock and thanked each other for a long time, Lin Jue had already got on the carriage and walked far away.
In the carriage, Lin Jue's face was solemn. The little princess stretched out her soft hand to hold his hand and said softly: "Husband, there is no need to be angry about these things. There is nothing you can do if you are angry. My father is also angry, but even he can't stop it.
It is useless for my husband to be angry."
Lin Jue patted the back of Guo Caiwei's hand and sighed: "Weier, things are getting worse and worse. If we continue like this, something big will happen."
Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "What big thing can happen?"
Lin Jue said softly: "The Great Zhou Dynasty has been at peace for a hundred years, and there has rarely been a time like this. The treasury is empty, and the borders are uneven. The imperial court has introduced a reform policy. Although the intention is good, there are obviously too many drawbacks in its implementation. Serious illness
Strong medicine will either cure you or poison you. This is too risky. Look at these people below. They act like tigers and wolves, with no regard for the life and death of the people. If this continues, there will be chaos. Don't look at the peace of the world. If people's hearts change, the court will
If we don't give the people a way to survive, there will probably be chaos."
Guo Caiwei said in shock: "Is it so serious? Don't scare me."
Lin Jue smacked his lips and shook his head: "I hope my worries are unfounded. In the Song Dynasty... this... situation was not optimistic."
Lin Jue almost let it slip and mentioned the term Great Song Dynasty. Fortunately, the little princess did not hear it clearly and did not ask in detail where the Great Song Dynasty was.
"According to what my husband said, the situation is really critical. Then why is the court still pushing this new law? Can't it be planned slowly?" Guo Caiwei asked with a frown.
Lin Jue opened his mouth, and suddenly sighed again: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore, it will make you upset if you talk too much. I don't want you to be upset. Anyway, we may have to make some preparations."
…
When Lin Jue and his wife entered the back house of the palace, Guo Bing was playing Go with several of his staff in the spring light on the corridor. Guo Bing was trapped by a big dragon. When he could not escape and survive, he was sweating profusely.
Seeing the player opposite, who was twirling his goatee in a proud manner, Guo Bing almost overturned the chessboard and kicked him. But he did not do it in the end. As a prince, he had to behave like a courteous and virtuous corporal, and he could not bully others.
Guo Bing grabbed a handful of chess pieces in his hand and was about to surrender when he suddenly saw Lin Jue walking in at the door, holding the hand of the pregnant Guo Caiwei, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Dad, look who's here?" Guo Caiwei said with a smile.
Guo Bing felt happy in his heart, and he suddenly realized that he actually liked his son-in-law very much. Although he was a little angry when he looked at him, he had to say that his son-in-law was outstanding in all aspects except his birth background.
.
"Why are you here? Hey, you're disturbing my chess game. Ming Weng, we can't play this game today. How about we keep the chessboard and play again tomorrow?" Guo Bing smiled and said to the staff member opposite.
How could the staff member known as Ming Weng dare to say otherwise? He felt very unhappy. It was obvious that the other party had no choice but to admit defeat.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Your son-in-law is here. It's time for your son-in-law to say something. I'll take my leave and leave." Ming Weng and several staff bowed their hands in salute and quickly retreated. Guo Bing proudly scattered the chess pieces in his hands on the chessboard.
The depression in my heart was swept away.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." Lin Jue smiled and stepped forward to salute.
Guo Bing snorted and said: "Do you still know how to go back to Hangzhou? You are really big-hearted. Wei'er is pregnant with Liujia, but you are enjoying yourself in the capital and don't come to visit early. Are there any husbands like you?"
Guo Caiwei said angrily: "Dad, my husband just arrived this morning and came to see you. Why are you scolding me when you meet me?"
Guo Bing snorted and said nothing. Lin Jue respectfully presented a brocade box and said: "Father-in-law, don't be angry. It is indeed my son-in-law's fault. But it was also a delay due to official duties. These are two pairs of wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain that are hundreds of years old.
My son-in-law specially asked someone to buy it from Changbai Mountain to honor your old man."
Guo Bing exclaimed and looked at the contents of the brocade box. Sure enough, they were two pairs of ginseng. They were big and long, with thick beard and hair, resembling a human figure. At first glance, they looked like extremely precious things. Guo Bing had taken countless precious supplements, but
But I have never seen a century-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, and it is so big. These two pairs of ginseng must be worth ten thousand taels of silver.
"When did you become so extravagant? Why did you buy such expensive things? Are you rich?" Guo Bing said lightly, tilted his head, and the steward stepped forward to take it away.
"My father-in-law has never seen anything valuable? My son-in-law can't think of it. It's just my son-in-law's way of showing filial piety to his father-in-law. It's not that expensive at all. The important thing is that my father-in-law can live longer and stay strong after eating it."
