At the gate of Qinyuan, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying saw a row of people kneeling on the bluestone corridor inside. Everyone had their heads drooped and their clothes were all the same shape. But just Zhang Chen's angry voice could be heard.
, they knew that these people were the main reason for Zhang Chen's anger.
To put it in an easy-to-understand phrase, these people are not Qin Yuan, or in other words, staff members of the Duke of Qin's office.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhang Chen's voice suddenly rose by more than one octave: "Tolerating outsiders privately? Do you believe that those buzzing censors in the court would dare to join our family and live in exile when they get the opportunity? It's simply
Lawless! I tied them all up, tied them tightly, and then sent them to the Shuntian government office, saying they..."
Zhang Chen was suddenly stuck as to what charges he had laid on these people when they were sent to the Shuntian government office. He was really not very familiar with laws and regulations. At this time, he heard a cry for mercy, but he
Not only did he not show mercy, but he gestured and ordered him to be silenced. But the more he thought about the crime, the more irritated he became, and the more irritated he became, the more angry he became.
Just at this time, he heard a gentle voice coming from outside: "If you are not on the Qin Garden roster but you are in Qin Garden for no reason, then you are naturally breaking into a private house and planning to steal."
"That's right, breaking into a house without permission and planning to steal!" Zhang Chen agreed, then immediately looked outside the door.
Realizing that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were coming together, he quickly dropped his riding whip and stepped forward to greet him. Before he could speak, Zhu Ying rushed to say: "My family was the same before. It was found that outsiders had been tricked in, and that gang
I used to think that among the conscientious servants, there are those who harbor evildoers, those who keep secret accounts, those who fool around, and those who steal... Anyway, there are all sorts of messy people!"
After learning that Zhao Yuanzhong was in the same situation, and that it wasn't just his own family that was having trouble, Zhang Chen's expression finally softened a little.
And Zhu Ying went on to say: "I watched the crackling of boards in Xiaocuitang all morning. I drove a dozen people to the stone quarry and coal mine in one breath, and even many old people who had been with my father were kicked out.
The concurrency has been eliminated, and now I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. However, it is better to discover it early than to discover it late, otherwise you don’t know what will happen in the future.”
"I have already whipped more than a dozen people, and the seven outsiders who have been caught out, according to my temper, would like to have their feet tied with stones and sink into the sea, or even give them a severe whipping!" Zhang Chen said!
He was so angry that he said, "My family members are all respectful in front of me on weekdays. Who knew that outsiders would come in behind my back and set up a private gambling bureau to gather people to gamble excessively!"
Zhu Ying glanced at Zhang Shou and saw that he was silent after just giving Zhang Chen a heads up. It was the same now, so she had no choice but to say: "I heard that other families have received news about my family.
They are all checking, so I plan to go to each house with Ah Shou and apologize. After all, the incident also started at my house."
"Then I'll go with you!" Zhang Chen had the temperament to do whatever came to his mind. He immediately forgot that his own turmoil had not yet been completely calmed down. "In case someone doesn't remind your family.
If they take it seriously, then I might as well remind them. I have really found out a guy who has had connections with the rebels in the Linhai Camp in the past, and he often leaks my whereabouts, what a bastard!"
Therefore, Zhang Shou, who was following Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen, calmly watched as the top rich lady in the capital and the noble son of aristocratic families joined forces, blowing up a huge storm like a whirlwind in the nearby gardens.
Since now is the last season of the year that is suitable for staying in Haidian Manor, about half of the gardens are owned by owners, and the word traitor is not a trivial matter, so at least one-third of the gardens are occupied
After hearing the message from the Zhu family, I hurriedly copied and rectified it.
Especially when Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen came in person, they were not afraid of making the family scandal public, and after they described the chaos with spitfire, most people even intensified their efforts.
As for the remaining two-thirds, most of them were due to the absence of the owner, but the general manager who looked after the garden also hurriedly began to secretly and quickly tidy things up, even destroying the evidence; and the remaining small half also dealt with a few small things to fit the story.
.
Anyway, when Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying made an appointment with Zhang Chen to return to Beijing in the evening, the entire Haidian area's famous estates were swept away as if a typhoon had passed through, and no one knew how many people were mourning.
When he was severely punished miserably, he cursed the Duke of Zhao and the Duke of Qin for being too full to do anything. No one thought that this was just Zhang Shou's fault.
And because the owners of these famous gardens are not only nobles, but also many civil servants - among them are Lu Shangshu, who comes from a wealthy family, and several academicians and high-ranking officials who come from poor families but were given gardens by the emperor. Even if
The news also spread back to the capital, but the censors, who always had the most sensitive sense of smell, did not dare to act rashly because it involved at least a dozen or twenty civil and military leaders.
Inside the Fucheng Gate, when Zhang Shou and his group were respectfully let in by the inspected guards, several officers in soap clothes came up to greet them. After the leader respectfully saluted and said hello, the executioner arrested Lin Laohu, the leader.
He smiled apologetically and said, "Dr. Zhang, my lord has just imprisoned those two traitors. He asked me to give you a message."
Although Zhu Ying's displeased look was genuine, and Zhang Chen's look was clearly a little annoyed, no matter how noble a person was, he couldn't stand up to the current Fu Yin, so Lin Laohu could only bite the bullet and continue.
. He knew that this was the city gate where people came and went, so he simply took two steps forward and then lowered his voice further.
"Wang Dayin said, Dr. Zhang, when you left the city this time, a clan member was first imprisoned in the prison cell of Shuntian Prefecture, and then two more rebels from the Linhai camp were thrown over. Following that, several manors were sent over.
There are a bunch of so-called lawless people who break into private houses. No matter how big the Shuntian government prison is, it will not be able to be locked up if this continues!"
"Whatever happened to Ashou, it was others who provoked him!" Zhu Ying was so angry that she helped to defend herself, but immediately afterwards, Lin Laohu turned to her and Zhang Chen.
"Miss Zhu, Mr. Zhang, and Wang Dayin also said that he also knows that Dr. Zhang is not to blame for this matter, because in the final analysis, there are endless lawsuits nowadays, and most of them will be attributed to you two. Can you please behave and behave yourself?"
Otherwise, he will be too busy at the end of the year, and he might lose his head due to the busyness and accidentally injure someone in the two houses."
Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen can both understand this without having to refer to them in particular. Which family has few lice on their heads? The Zhu family has Zhu Er who used to get into trouble all day long. As for the Zhang family...not to mention others, Zhang Chen
I have often caused trouble in the past! As for wealthy slaves who do mischief in the name of their masters, it is even more difficult to stop them.
No matter how unhappy they were, because Wang Datou had a reputation for being a tough guy, and what he just said was actually true, Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen remained silent.
When Lin Laohu bowed respectfully and led the others to leave, Zhang Shou suddenly said: "Please give Wang Dayin a message. I don't want to, but since everything has been pushed to Wang Dayin, he is a busy man and capable person."
It’s hard work, just think of it as general cleaning! The ancients said, if you don’t clean a house, how can you clean the world? For him, if you don’t clean a whole city, how can you clean the court?”
Lin Laohu quickly looked around and made sure that the people he brought were all his trusted servants, and they probably didn't dare to talk nonsense. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
How could Zhang Shou, a doctor from the Imperial Academy, know Wang Jie's wish? Even he occasionally heard the official of the Song Dynasty mention the words of Lord Fu Yin: "If you don't sweep the capital, how can you sweep the court?"
But as long as the three people in front of him who couldn't afford to offend didn't take their anger out on him, that was enough. He immediately agreed with a smile on his face. However, he still failed to leave this time because Zhang Shou
He actually stopped him again.
"By the way, Wang Dayin promised me that the list of interviews at Jiuzhangtang will be posted in the next two days by Shuntian government officials, and then everyone will be notified. But I forgot that the Imperial College is where students study and attend classes.
This place is not suitable for interviews, so I would like to borrow your precious land, and please report this matter to Wang Dayin, so that the interview can be held at the government office."
Lin Laohu was immediately stunned. Why should we use Shuntian Mansion to recruit supervisory students? Could it be...
Needless to say, when Master Yin's face turns dark, even a child will be frightened to tears, let alone some lucky ones!
However, Lin Laohu was very careful this time. He did not dare to agree fully, and only said that he would convey it when he got back. As soon as he left, Zhang Chen cursed angrily, but the words were a little unclear. Obviously, Mr. Zhang was very
He didn't want anyone to hear how he scolded Wang Datou. He said hello to Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying with a straight face, and then he tried to use his whip hard.
But before he could hit the horse and run wildly, Zhu Ying said angrily: "It is taboo to hit the horse and run wildly on the streets of the capital. Be careful that Wang Datou will take you over and give you a slap in the face!"
Zhang Chen hurriedly tried to hold back his strength, but the horsewhip that turned a corner on the road almost hit him.
Zhu Ying, who couldn't help laughing when she saw his embarrassed look, felt much better now. Seeing Zhang Chen trotting away angrily, she chuckled, glanced sideways at Zhang Shou and said, "Ah Shou, tonight you
Returning to the Imperial College, or..."
"Of course I'm going back to see my mother." Zhang Shou shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile, "How about you come as a guest too? I'm not in a good mood today, so I plan to make something delicious to reward myself!"
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Okay, you have to wait for me. I will go back home and talk to my grandmother and mother first, and then I will go to your house!"
Zhang Shou smiled and nodded, but then he thought in his heart, whether it was Lu Sanpang who was looking for a cute girl, or several other Guijie children who were looking for a well-matched marriage, they should ask Zhu Ying to come forward and use her brains to be a matchmaker for them.
