Chapter 71 Whistleblowing
Jiang Xinger is skillful.
Don’t be fooled by her big confused eyes. How can those who stay in that occasion know how to see their faces at all?
Seeing that Liu Zhizhou was not disgusted with her, he immediately bowed and gave a very grand gift. Mr. Mr., he should accept it.
Liu Zhizhou didn't know the inside story, and thought Zheng Lang valued her, so he redeemed her. He stared at Jiang Xing'er again. When he went to Zhengjiazhuang, Jiang Xing'er deliberately dressed up and combed her two boy buns, tied them up with silver hairpins, and a strand of black silk covered her shoulders, like a boy.
A light layer of powder was applied on her face, which was very thin. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see it, making a pretty face very clean. She was also wearing a plain and thick long skirt. If you don't know her background, it's hard to see her body smell like dust.
I appreciated it: "Zheng Xiaolang, among the Five Elements, you must remember that you can only play with them. Only this girl can be worthy and accompany you."
"Xie Zhizhou is raising love."
"Jiang Xing'er, it's your good fortune to be able to take you in. You suffered when you were young and turned away." But I looked at the north with my eyes and heard that Cui Zhizhou was very square. I wonder what kind of reaction he would have after hearing about it?
It is not easy to ask about other people's housework. He also said: "Zheng Xiaolang, but academic matters. I have sent someone to circulate some things. You are frightened and ask the students in the village to not disturb them."
"Thank you, the magistrate." This is what Zheng Lang needs most.
However, in a blink of an eye, once what happened in Kaifeng Prefecture spread to Zhengzhou, it would probably not work even if Liu Zhizhou protected him.
Alas, I knew I shouldn't have gone to the capital.
The wine and food were served, and the food was gone without saying a word, and all the fun parted.
But only three days later, Liu Zhizhou encountered another headache.
After Zheng Lang came out, he gathered with a few good friends. Zheng Lang and the Cui family's father and daughter have always had different views on this. The Cui family's father and daughter were deeply taught by Confucianism and valued that birds of birds of feathers flock together. Confucius also mentioned many times in the Analects of Confucius that people with bad moral character should not deal with them, and those who are not knowledgeable should not deal with them. To interact, they must interact with people who are more skilled than themselves, so that they can learn things.
This sentence is also established in later generations. Interacting with senior people can form useful connections. Of course, there is a prerequisite for the survival of the fittest. Among these people who are higher than themselves, they can be as scattered as fish in the water. If they cannot get rid of themselves, they will be discouraged by others for nothing.
The reason seems to be true, but Zheng Lang's personality is very sloppy and he values friendship more.
So what about literati? Take a look at these Qingliu performances immediately, or go back, it will be more fun when it is the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Cui Youjie did not persuade him.
During the gathering, Wei Sanshao and Niu Family Erlang also heard the news and ran to the city to search for each other.
Zheng Lang said lightly, asking your shopkeeper not to reveal the secret of the last pen holder to the outside in the future. He did not blame him, the responsibility was for the little loli by his side.
Mr. Wei was a little angry, and Zheng Lang even persuaded him, "If you were him, would you be moved after hearing about the thirty gold coins?"
But after Mr. Wei returned, he felt a little dissatisfied and even called the shopkeeper and scolded him.
The shopkeeper named Wei Hua. He was originally going to "change jobs" after getting a lot of money, and he was even more unhappy when he heard it. With so much money in my hand, I could buy seventy or eighty acres of land even if I buy a land in a remote place. If I go to a remote place, I can buy two or three hundred acres, which is enough for the family to live a life of food and clothing. Why do I have to rent your land?
But fearing the power of the Wei family, he did not dare to say anything. While thinking about where to buy land, he became confused again.
Then he came to Zhengzhou Prefecture, knelt down and said, "I'll visit the magistrate."
"You said you know the whereabouts of the Four Sages?" Liu Zhizhou asked with concern. After a long time of investigation, the old lady asked about this matter twice, but she had no clue. This made him suspect that the Four Sages might not be from Zhengzhou, but people from the prefectures near Zhengzhou.
"Yes, the little one knows."
"Where are they from?"
"Zhengzhou people."
"Oh, come on, so hurry up."
"The little one has a request."
"explain."
"Miss Jiang gave out thirty gold..."
Wei Hua was deceived by greed at this time. If he asked for a few gold, Liu Zhizhou could still take it out. But if he asked him to pay for thirty gold, it would be very difficult to get it out of the prefecture treasury. The amount was too large and could not be compensated. Liu Zhizhou was displeased when he heard this and said, "The bold and unruly people actually blackmailed me with a wise man! Do you know that this matter goes directly to Shengting. If you want thirty gold, you can send someone to take you to the capital and ask the Queen Mother for it."
Arrested to the capital and asked the Queen Mother for it?
When Wei Hua heard this, he fell down and said, "I'm the little one."
“Where are they?”
"It's not them, it's one person."
"What person?"
"The magistrate made a mistake. He was a man who wrote it in four styles." Although he was illiterate, after hearing various rumors, Wei Hua slowly figured out this section.
"Is it a... person?" Liu Zhizhou was sweating a little. If so, this would be a big mistake.
"It's not an old man, it's a teenager."
"Young?" Liu Zhizhou immediately thought of the pretty figure behind his good student. It was the thirty gold gold that Jiang Xinger gave out. He sweated more and asked, "But Zheng Lang from Zhengjiazhuang?"
"That's right, the utensils he made had pictures, words, and long and short sentences on it, and then asked my little boy to order me to go into the city and a lady gave me one."
"Have you made a mistake?"
"The young man made no mistake. The young man also saw the Zheng family. In order to make the utensils more perfect, he honed them for a while in advance, and then he made four tubes and asked them to my Saburo and handed them over to the fourth lady."
"So you betrayed your righteousness and betrayed the Zheng family?"
"Small..."
"So you forget your righteousness when you see profit and blackmail me?"
"I don't dare."
"Drag down, the stick is sixty."
In the Song Dynasty, there were five types of punishments: whipping, stick, slaughter, slaughter, mate and death. Later, the control was added. The use of trowels to pull the prisoner's buttocks or legs, from ten to fifty times, which was the lightest punishment. The second was the stick. A bamboo pole three feet long hit the prisoner's buttocks, back, and legs. The Tiansheng Times stipulated that the heaviest rod should not exceed fifteen taels, and the number was sixty to one hundred. At most, the punishment for servitude was even heavier. The punishment for servitude was even heavier. It was necessary to stab the face, which was a compound punishment that combined the stick, tattoo, flow, and work together.
There is no matter of hitting a board or hitting a stick.
But after knocking down sixty rods, Wei Hua was beaten so hard that he screamed.
Liu Zhizhou ignored him because he was considering the impact of this matter after it was revealed.
I was a little amused and crying. In fact, I should ask, since I could create that style of calligraphy, maybe I could also write other strange styles of calligraphy. No wonder he said that day, why didn't he think about it?
If I had known it, the impact would not be so great, so it would be fine. But now that the impact is so great, the Zheng family made a big fuss in the capital. How would this end? This matter cannot be hidden. After today, this troublemaker must be spread everywhere. It would be better to write a memorial first and go to the capital to recover some influence.
But he had a cautious personality and did not write it. He had no time to go to Zhengjiazhuang, so he asked the yamen runners to bring Wu Sanlang over. Wu Sanlang was not Zheng Lang, and Liu Zhizhou whispered it out in a few words. He asked his brothers and others to instigate him. Then Zheng Lang asked them to have a flower party, and finally the original book of the pen holder appeared and said it together.
After hearing this, Liu Zhizhou felt bitter in his mouth. Zheng Lang was not here, otherwise he would go up and twist Zheng Lang's ears. He asked Wu Sanlang to go back and picked up his pen to write a letter to the old lady. We made a mistake, and there were no Four Sages at all. It was because the Zheng family saw that the flowers were about to come to an end. They were young and thought it was fun. They made a prank, deliberately created four styles of calligraphy, and wrote four good long and short sentences, engraved on the bamboo tube. It was not until today that the officials learned the truth.
He is young, so you can forgive him this time.
Everyone has children, and a twelve-year-old boy cannot be as sensible as an adult.
It seems that it is right, but Liu Zhizhou didn't know whether the old lady or the four prime ministers would regard Zheng Lang as a child at this time?
