"Of course I will report these officials to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely find them out. However, rich and noble people are living in this world. Most of the time, they are saving themselves and protecting themselves. If a person can't even protect himself, If you don’t understand, it will be difficult for you to move forward, and you will suffer setbacks by forcing yourself.”
Fugui snorted coldly:
"Master Zhuo is making excuses for these officials! Covering up their negligence!"
Hyun smiled helplessly:
"I'm just talking about the principles of life."
Get up and pat the soil:
"Wealth, although we all want to be black or white, we are not allowed to be so one-size-fits-all in our interactions with others, and many things cannot simply be classified as black or white. People themselves are complex. Animals and things created by humans are also complicated. For example, if you rebel, can you simply say you are wrong or right?"
Seeing Fugui lost in thought, he walked outside his cell and smiled bitterly:
"People in the arena involuntarily."
Fugui kept looking at Hyun until she disappeared around the corner, then he looked back and thought about what Hyun just said.
After she got out of the cell, she immediately convened people to investigate the affairs of the Niu family. At the same time, she wrote a letter telling Ning Yan about the affairs here, asking for her rights.
It is one thing to behave as a human being, but the inaction of these officials cannot be described as a human being. Sitting in that position and not doing things is absolutely not allowed. Such officials are rubbish.
It can be said that the incident in Gejiacun was the inducement for Fugui to rebel. Through this incident, Fugui saw the darkness of the officialdom, so he thought of rebelling. Therefore, Ning Yan attached great importance to handling this matter and gave full authority to Yun. .
After that, at Ru Yuan's suggestion, major cases were thoroughly investigated, many unjust, false and wrong cases were found, and a group of officials were investigated and punished. This was very exciting and everyone was happy. Praise for Ning Yan was overwhelming in an instant. Beijing.
However, these are all things that happened later, and it will take some time to investigate the case. Officials guard each other, conceal and cover up each other, and it is not possible to find out. At this time, Ning Yan dispatched the officials responsible for the matter. Stay up late at night to read, concentrate on your work, and handle cases.
After receiving Ning Yan's authorization, Xun took Ding Wangcai and others and immediately set off for Ge Village, leaving Yang Yanyang to deal with Peng Jishi without alerting Peng Jishi and the county magistrate in charge of Ge Village.
At this time, of the three families with surnames, only the Yan family remained in Gecun, while the Fu family also moved away.
When Xun and his party left Qinzhou, they changed into common people's clothes and went to Yan's house at night, pretending to be passers-by and begging for saliva.
The daughter born to Mrs. Yan is very cute. However, the child from a poor family has already been in charge of the family. She has been helping the family with various tasks since she was in elementary school. Her little hands have become rough and rough. Hyun feels sorry for this child and cannot hold her in her arms. Let her keep busy.
The Yan family also has three sons, all of whom are married and have children. There are many in the family, but this girl is the only one who is redundant. Although the girl does not understand what happened back then, she understands her situation at home and is always the last one to eat. She was always the first to eat and work, and she only asked her grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts to treat her better.
There is a saying: Poor and humble couples are in decline. Let’s use the popular understanding of the meaning. In fact, if you put them in a poor family, it will also be in decline.
If placed in a rich family, raising one more child would not be a big deal, but it is different in the Yan family. The more people there are, the more mouths they have to eat, which means that others have to eat less. Father Yan and Yan Mom, who loves her daughter, naturally loves her granddaughter, but the son and daughter-in-law are different. They also have children to raise, so they naturally hope that their children can eat more.
The key reason why I still keep her till now is that she is a girl. They all look forward to getting more gifts when they get married.
The girl looked at it curiously. The somewhat delicate uncle in front of her, Hyun, chatted with Yan's father and Yan's mother, and naturally asked about the girl's parents.
Father Yan originally wanted to cover up the past, but his son and daughter-in-law were obviously not good to this child. Anyone who is not a fool can see it. Moreover, in order to prevent them from prevaricating, Hyun directly changed the topic to the child's parents.
, Father Yan couldn’t hide it, so the topic naturally turned to that old incident.
As they were talking, several sons also chimed in angrily. If Yan's husband hadn't come up with bad ideas, Yan wouldn't have died, and the Yan family wouldn't have gotten so mixed up.
Therefore, when that matter was brought up, everyone in the Yan family was filled with indignation and collusion, just like pouring beans, and they talked about it all in a fuss.
Hyun, Ding Wangcai and the others looked at each other imperceptibly, and then asked Father Yan:
"Why don't you file a complaint? It's completely unreasonable for them to treat you like this."
Father Yan patted his leg and said:
"The Niu family went to file a complaint, and the county government also sent people to investigate, but what could be done? The village chief made up a lie, gave him some benefits, and sent him away."
Mother Yan looked at the girl on Hyun’s lap and said:
"They live their lives the same way. It's pity that my daughter left at such a young age, leaving such a child behind."
Hyun stroked the girl's malnourished hair and said:
"I think this kid is quite rare. He is a good kid."
The Yan family's eyes lit up. Although these people who came here were all dressed as ordinary people, they were also divided into good people and bad people. It was obvious that these people were living a good life. If this man could
If I fall in love with their female doll, can I ask for a sum of money?
Ding Wangcai and the others saw the Yan family's eyes and lamented in their hearts. Then they looked at the girl and felt even more pitiful.
Even if Hyun didn't look at the family's unconcealed gaze, she could clearly feel it, but she pretended not to know, raised her head and said to Father Yan:
"As for the Fu family, do you know where dad has moved?"
Father Yan looked at his old wife. Mother Yan thought for a while and said:
"I heard they were going to Qinzhou, but we don't know exactly where they went."
Hyun chatted with them for a while, and then stood up to leave. The Yan family poked and teased the girl to pester Hyun, but the girl refused to move forward.
After they left, Hyun whispered to Lai Hou:
"Go back and see that girl."
When Lai Hou returned, she heard the family accusing her:
"That uncle is richer than our family. You can eat well and wear good clothes with him. Why don't you go?!"
"You are going, and we can follow Zhan Zhanguang. I have raised you for so long in vain!"
"It's just that you eat for free and don't work! Then you might as well think about your family. When it's your turn to contribute, you'd better not move!"
"Why are we raising you? You are not from the Yan family, so it's good if we can give you food! Go to your father tomorrow and stop eating and drinking at our house!"
The uncles and aunts scolded the girl, and Yan's father and Yan's mother knew they were in the wrong.
They didn't want it at the beginning, but both parents felt sorry for their children. Yan's death was tragic. Father Yan and Mother Yan put all their love for their daughter on their granddaughter, regardless of the objections of their son and daughter-in-law.
, he just took the girl in.
Therefore, whenever encountering this kind of situation, Yan's father and Yan's mother cannot protect the girl.
I don’t know which uncle shouted again:
"I've been talking for a long time, but let's just say something! Just like your mother! If your mother didn't agree at the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation today! It's all your mother's fault!"
Now Yan’s mother couldn’t help it anymore and shouted:
"At the beginning, you all said that you wanted your daughter to marry into the Ge family in order to settle down in the village, but now it's all my daughter's fault! Why are you so heartless! Oh, I can't live this life! God, please open your eyes.
Crush all these heartless people to death, chop me to death too, and let me go to the underworld to find my poor daughter!"
It was lively now, with the shrill voices of women, the cries of children, and the deep voices of men, a whole trio.
The girl took advantage of the chaos and ran out. Lai Houhou followed her until they reached an open space behind the house. The girl continued to run forward. Lai Houhou saw a grave in the darkness. There was nothing but a lonely dirt bag.
The girl sat down in front of the earthbag, took out half a bun from her clothes, put it in front of the grave, and said in a sweet voice:
"Mom, several uncles came here today. One uncle was so gentle. He kept holding me, as if I was being held by my mother again..."
At this point, there was no sound. Lai Hou poked his head out from his hiding place and saw the girl hugging her legs. Her little body was trembling. I am afraid that this grave is the girl's tree hole. Happy.
Anyone who is unhappy will come here to talk about it.
Looking at the little figure, Lai Hou felt as if there were a lot of things blocked in his throat. The noise in the room could still be heard faintly, but no one cared about the child's feelings.
Lai Hou went back and told Huan what happened. He thought Huan would go back, but she just said yes and walked back to the county.
About a month later, people from the county came and took the village chief away, along with the Yan family. Many villagers felt strange and went to see what was going on.
The village chief was taken to the county government office for no apparent reason. When he got to the hall, he saw that there were Fu family and Niu family. Niu Dan, a young man who was so strong a few years ago, was now lying on the door board with skin and bones. When he saw that the village chief was just using
Staring at him.
The village chief felt something was wrong. He scanned the room among the yamen and found that the two yamen were not there. However, after so many years, he was a little confused about those two people.
As soon as the hall was raised, several people walked out from the back. The one at the front was the county magistrate. But after he walked out, he did not sit on the main seat, but walked to the side seat. After that, the county magistrate's curtainman came out, that is,
The later masters, and the last one who came out was Hyun.
Except for the people from the county government, the people were all shocked. No one expected Master Zhuo to show up here. The village chief suddenly felt a muscle in his calf.
When Niu's mother saw this battle, she didn't understand anything, so she immediately shouted:
"Master Zhuo, make the decision for my old man!"
Hyun didn't answer her words and asked one by one what happened that year. When asked about the Yan family, the Yan family hesitated and talked about him.
Hyun didn't ask the Yan family much. After all, they still had to live in Gecun. Among the people watching outside, there were also many people from Gecun who had followed, so they must have had many concerns.
Hyun interrupted Father Yan's hesitating words and continued to ask other people. (To be continued)
