Chapter 99 The Ninety-ninth Chapter Keeping the Officials Admonishing the Evil Slaves and Making an Exception

It is said that when Sister Feng saw that Mother Jia and Aunt Xue were sad for Daiyu, she said, "I have a joke to tell the old lady and aunt." , Before opening his mouth, he laughed to himself, because he said: "Is it a joke where the old lady and aunt look at each other?"They are the two new uncles and daughters-in-law of our family!Jia Mu said, "what's the matter?"Sister Feng compared her hands: one is sitting like this, the other is standing like this;When one said this again, Jia Mu had already laughed and said, "Say it, it's not the two of them. You can't bear the vomiting."Aunt Xue also laughed and said: You can just go ahead and talk about it, there is no need to compare.Sister Feng said: "Just now when I went to Brother Bao's room, I heard several people laughing.I just wondered who it was, and looked through the window. It turned out that sister Bao was sitting on the edge of the kang, and brother Bao was standing on the ground.Brother Bao pulled Sister Bao's sleeve, and kept saying: "Sister Bao, why can't you talk anymore?"If you say something like this, I will be cured of my illness.Sister Bao turned her head and just kept hiding.But brother Bao made a bow, and stepped forward to pull sister Bao's clothes.Sister Bao was so anxious that Brother Bao's feet were weak after being ill, so he simply threw himself on Sister Bao.Sister Bao blushed anxiously, and said: You are disrespecting Bixian more and more.Speaking of this, Jia Mu and Aunt Xue both laughed.Sister Feng said again: "Brother Bao stood up and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I fell out of this friendship. It's so easy to fall out of your words."Aunt Xue said with a smile: "This is Bao girl's weirdness."What's the matter? Since we had two conversations, why are we afraid of talking and laughing?She didn't see her second brother Lian and you.Sister Feng laughed and said, "How do you say that?"I told my aunt a joke to amuse her, but my aunt started playing tricks on me instead!Jia Mu also laughed and said, "That's the best way to do it."Husband and wife must be harmonious, but they must also have a sense of proportion.I love Bao girl because of this respect.It's just that I'm worried that Baoyu is still so stupid. Speaking of it this way, I understand it better than I thought.Tell me again, is there any joke?Sister Feng said: "Tomorrow Baoyu will have a round house, and his wife will hold his grandson. Isn't it even more a joke then?"Jia Mu laughed and said, "Monkey!"I miss you, Sister Lin, with my concubine here, so it’s all right for you to vomit and laugh, why are you so ashamed!Don't tell us to miss you, Sister Lin, you don't have to be too happy, your sister Lin hates you, don't go to the garden alone in the future, in case she pulls you away.Sister Feng laughed and said, "She doesn't blame me."When she was dying, she gritted her teeth and hated Baoyu.When Jia Mu and Aunt Xue listened, they said they were joking, but ignored them, and said, "Stop talking nonsense."You go and ask someone outside to pick a good day to consummate the house for your brother Bao.Sister Feng went, chose an auspicious day, set up wine again, sang operas, and invited relatives and friends.It's nothing to worry about.

But he said that although Baoyu recovered from his illness, Baochai was sometimes happy. He read books and talked about them. All the things that Baoyu saw before him could still be remembered.Baochai knew that the psychic was lost, so that's why.On the contrary, Xiren often said to him: Why did you forget all the inspirations from the past?It’s better to forget those old mistakes, why do you still feel that your temper is the same, and you are more confused in terms of reasoning?When Baoyu heard this, he was not angry, but smiled.Sometimes Baoyu messes around with her nature, but thanks to Baochai's persuasion, everything feels a little restrained.Xiren can spend less time talking, but only knows how to serve with all his heart.The other girls admire Baochai's chastity, tranquility and peace, and everyone is convinced, and they are all quiet.

Only Baoyu loves to move and not to be quiet, and often has to go to the garden.Mother Jia and the others feared that he would suffer from the cold and heat, and feared that he would be hurt when he saw the scene. Although Daiyu's coffin had been placed in a nunnery outside the city, there were still people dead in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. he goes.What's more, relatives and sisters, such as Baoqin, have gone back to Aunt Xue; Shi Xiangyun also took over because Shi Hou returned to Beijing, and there is a day to get married again, so he doesn't come often.Only on the day of Baoyu's marriage and the day of eating wedding wine, he came here twice, and only stayed at Jiamu's side.Because of Baoyu, those who have already married and think that they are about to marry are not willing to talk and laugh as before. Even when they come here sometimes, they only talk to Baochai. When they meet Baoyu, they just say hello; It's because after Yingchun got married, she went there with Mrs. Xing; the sisters of the Li family also lived outside, that is, they came with Aunt Li, and they just went to the wives and sisters to say hello, and then went back to Li Wan's place for a while. The sky is gone: so there are only Li Wan, Tanchun and Xichun in the garden.Jia's mother also wanted to move Li Wan and others in, because after the death of the concubine Yuan, family affairs continued one after another, and there was no time for this.Now the weather is getting hotter every day, and the garden can still be lived in, and we can wait until autumn to move.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Let's say that Jia Zheng took a few Muyou who were invited in Beijing, and stayed overnight at Xiaoxing. One day, he arrived in the province, met his boss, and then went to work for India, and then checked the grain and rice warehouses in various states and counties.Jia Zheng has always been an official in the capital, and he only knows that the affairs of Langzhong are a one-off affair, even if he is a foreigner, he is originally a poor student, and has nothing to do with the administration of officials.So in other provinces, states and counties, harvesting grain and rice, and blackmailing the idiots of the villagers, although I have heard others pay attention to these disadvantages, I have never personally experienced them, and I can only be a good official.Then he discussed with the staff, showed the strict prohibition, and ordered that once found out, he must refer to the report in detail.When he first arrived, the subordinate officials were indeed afraid, so they tried every means to find a way out, but met Jia Zheng who was so stubborn.Those family members followed this old man to nothing in the capital, and finally hoped that the master would let go of his foreign post, so they borrowed money from others in Beijing to make clothes and pretend to be decent, thinking that when they took office, they would get money. is easy now.I don't want this old man to be dumbfounded, so he has to investigate seriously, and don't accept donations from the state and county.The concierge, the signer, and others thought in their hearts: We have to endure another half a month, and the clothes will also be pawned.The debt is forced again, so what can I do?The silver that is white in the eyes is just out of reach.Those long followers also said: You guys haven't spent any money to come here.We were wronged, and spent a lot of money to open the door. We have been here for more than a month, and we haven't even seen half of the money!If you think about it, you can't make money with this master.Tomorrow, we will ask for leave together.The next day, they all got together and asked for leave.Jia Zheng didn't know where to go, so he said: "It's you who want to come, and you who want to go."If you think it's not good here, please feel free.

Those leaders left with complaints.There were only some family members left, and they discussed again: "They can go, if we can't, we should think of a way."There was a gatekeeper named Li Shi'er, and he said, "you incompetent things, what are you doing!"I see this long font is here, so I won't let him stand out.Now I'm hungry and running away, look at your ten grand master's ability, I can't do without my master.I just want you to work together to make some money and use it at home; if you don't follow me, I don't care, I can fight you anyway.Everyone said: Good Master Shi!You can trust the master.If you don't care, we are really dying.Li Shi'er said: "Don't let me get ahead and get money, and then say that I got a lot of money, and it's boring to fight back in the nest."Everyone said: "You are safe, there is nothing wrong."There is not much, and it is better than spending money in our pockets.

Just as I was talking, I saw the grain room book office coming to look for Master Zhou.Li Shi'er sat on a chair, crossed one leg, straightened his waist, and said, "What do you want him for?"The secretary put his hands down and smiled, and said: "I have been in office for more than a month. These county magistrates have seen the benefits of my announcement and know that it is difficult to speak. At this time, they have not opened positions."If you pass the water, what are you grandpas doing here?Li Shi'er said: "Don't talk nonsense!"The master is rooted, and he will do what he says.In the past two days, I was going to write a reminder, because I said it a few days later, and then I stopped.What on earth are you looking for our Master Tuesday?The secretary said: "It was to inquire about reminders, nothing else."Li Shi'er said: More and more nonsense!Just now I said reminder text, you just believe in nonsense.Don't be sneaky and talk about relief, I'll tell my official to beat you and get you back!The secretary said: I have been in this yamen for three generations, and I am a bit respectable outside. The family is still doing well, so it is okay to serve me well when I am promoted, unlike those who wait for the rice to be cooked.As he said that, he replied: Second Grandpa, I'm leaving.Li Shi'er stood up, and said with a smile: "If you can't help playing, you will become anxious after a few words."The secretary said: "It's not that I'm in a hurry. If I say anything more, won't it hurt the name of the second grandfather?"Li Shi'er came over and held the book office's hand, and said, "What's your surname?"The secretary said: "Don't dare. My surname is Zhan, and my single name is Huizi. I have been in Beijing for several years since I was a child."Li Shi'er said: "Mr. Zhan, I have heard your name for a long time.We brothers are the same, if you have anything to say, come here tonight, let’s talk about it.The book office also said: "Who doesn't know Mr. Li Shi is capable, if he cheats on me, he will be scared."Everyone laughed and walked away.That night, I chatted with the book office in the middle of the night.

The next day, I went to visit Jia Zheng with words, and was scolded by Jia Zheng.The next day, when I visited a guest, the inside ordered to serve, and the outside agreed.After stopping for a while, the beat had already been hit three times, and there was no one in the lobby to answer the drum.It was so easy to get someone to play the drums.Jia Zheng walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, and there was only one yamen servant standing on shift and shouting.Jia Zheng didn't ask any questions. He got on the sedan chair under the gate, waited for the bearer for a long time, and when all came, he carried them out of the Yamen.There is only one drummer playing the drum and the other playing the trumpet in the drum blowing booth.Jia Zheng was also angry and said, "It's okay as usual, why don't you gather here today?"Looking up at the deacon, he was leading behind.Reluctantly visit visitors to come back, then pass the late shift to call.Some said it was because there was no hat;Jia Zheng got angry and hit him once or twice, that's all.

The next day, the kitchen manager came up to ask for money, and Jia Zheng paid with silver taels.From then on, I felt that everything was not satisfactory, and it was more inconvenient than when I was in Beijing.Helpless, he called Li Shi'er and asked: How have these people changed with me?You take care of it too.Now bring the silver taels, even if there is no more, it is too early to send the treasury's salary and silver, so it should be sent to Beijing to take it away.Li Shi'er reported: "The servant didn't talk about them that day?"I don't know why, these people are listless, and they can't be called slaves.The master said that the family took money, how much?Now I inquire about the Jiedu Yamen's birthday these few days, and the other government and Taoist masters have given away tens of thousands, how much should we give away?Jia Zhengdao: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"Li Shi'er said: Master is the most holy.We are new here, and we don't have much contact with other masters, who will send letters?I wish the master would not go, so I really miss the beauty of the master.Jia Zheng said, "Nonsense!"I am an official appointed by the emperor, if I don't celebrate Jiedu's birthday, I will not be able to do it!Li Shi'er replied with a smile: "What the master said is also good."Jingli is far away from here, and everything is heard in rhythm.If he said yes, he would be fine, but if he said no, he couldn't bear it.It is too late to understand.It's the old ladies and ladies, who don't want the master to be an official outside?

After hearing this, Jia Zheng naturally understood in his heart, and said, "I was about to ask you, why do you keep talking?"Li Shi'er replied: "The servant dare not say it."Since the master asked here, if he didn't say it, he was a slave without conscience; if he did, the master would be angry again.Jia Zheng said, "Just make sense."Li Shi'er said: "Those scribes and yamen servants are all yamen who spend money to buy food and roads. Who don't want to get rich?"All have to support their families.Since the master came to the post, he didn't see any contribution to the country, but he had a good reputation first.Jia Zhengdao: "What do the people say?"Li Shi'er said: "People say that whenever there is a new master, the more powerful he is, the more he thinks about money."The prefectures and counties were scared, and gave a lot of money.When the grain was collected, the yamen said that the new Daoist's decree clearly did not dare to ask for money.So those people don't say that the master is good, but that they don't understand the people's conditions.Even the adults of my family are the master's best friend. In a few years, he has reached the extreme point, and he only wants to know the time and do things, and to be able to get along with each other.When Jia Zheng heard this, he said, "Nonsense!"Am I ignorant of current affairs?If the upper and lower are in harmony, will you tell me to sleep with their cat and mouse?Li Shi'er replied: "The slave can't hide his loyalty, that's why he said that. If the master does this, and when the merits and fame are not achieved, the master will say that the slave has no conscience. What can I say?" Tell the master.

Jia Zheng said, "It's up to you how to do it?"Li Shi'er said: "There is nothing else. Taking advantage of the master's spiritual age, the care inside, and the toughness of the old lady, just take care of myself."Otherwise, in less than a year, the money in the master's family will be all subsidized, and people from top to bottom will complain, saying that the master is a foreigner, so naturally he got the money and hid it for his own benefit.If there are one or two embarrassing things, who will help the master?At that time, I couldn't do it clearly, and I regretted it too late.Jia Zhengdao: According to what you said, are you calling me a corrupt official?It doesn't matter if you lose your life, the merits of your grandfather must be erased?Li Shi'er replied: "Master, you are a very sage man, haven't you seen the masters who committed crimes in the past?"These few are all friends with the master. The master often says that he is an upright official. What is his name now?There are a few relatives, the master always said that they are not good, but now they are promoted and relocated, the only thing is to do well.The master needs to know, the people need to take care of it, and the officials need to take care of it.If you follow the master and don't allow the prefectures and counties to get a lot of money, who will handle these errands outside?As long as the master maintains such a clear reputation on the outside, it is good, and the grievances in the inside can only be dealt with by the slaves, and it will not hinder the master.A slave fights with a master, and in the end he has to show his loyalty.Jia Zheng was speechless by Li Shi'er's words, and said: "I want to save my life. If you make trouble, it has nothing to do with me!"As he spoke, he walked in.

Li Shi'er became Weifu by himself, coaxing Jia Zheng to do things in one go, but he felt that he was thoughtful in everything and did everything according to his heart.Therefore, Jia Zheng not only did not doubt, but believed more.There were several reports, and the superiors saw that Jia Zheng was simple and honest, so he didn't investigate.However, the friends of the Mu family have the longest eyes and ears, and when they see this, they have to use words to remonstrate, but Jia Zheng doesn't believe it, and some resign, and some maintain good friends with Jia Zheng.As a result, after the water affairs were completed, there was still no fall. One day, Jia Zheng had nothing to do and was reading in his study.On the signature, a book was submitted, with an official seal on the outside and an open top: a corner of the official document of the general office of guarding Haimen and other places, and sent it to the Liangdao Yamen in Jiangxi.When Jia Zheng unpacked it, he saw that it read: Jinling has a good contract, and hometown love is deep.When I came to the capital yesterday to work, I was secretly happy and often sat on the right.Look up to Meng Yaai, Xu Jie Zhu Chen, so far Peder is not dissatisfied.Just because I was transferred to Haijiang, I didn't dare to make a second request. I sincerely apologize and sigh that I missed it.Fortunately, the halberd is coming far away, and I am happy to comfort my life's wish.Zhengshen Yanhe, who was first taught by the Han Dynasty, was born in the side tent, and a martial artist with forehead and hands.Although it is separated by oceans, it is still shaded.I want to be humble and not abandon the cold, I hope that the radish will be attached.The child has accepted Qingpan, and Shuyuan has always admired Fangyi.If Meng Jiannuo, send the iceman.Although the road is long, there is a river to pass through.Don't dare to welcome hundreds of vehicles, but prepare the fairy boat for waiting.Here's to fix the size, congratulate Shengqi, and ask Jin Yun.Linying was so overwhelmed that she was on standby.Brother Zhou Qiong nodded.Jia Zheng looked at it and thought: the marriage of children is indeed certain.In the old year, seeing that he had taken a post in Beijing, he was a fellow from the same village, and had always been friends with him. He also saw that the child was growing up well, so he mentioned this matter during the meeting.Because it was not decided, I didn't talk to them.Later he transferred Haijiang, and everyone stopped talking about it.Unexpectedly, I was promoted to this position today, and he wrote a book to ask.I seem to be quite the same, and it matches Tanchundao.But I didn't bring my family with me, so I could only write to discuss with her.While hesitating, I saw a corner of the document uploaded to the door, which was to discuss the matter of going to the provincial meeting.Jia Zheng had to clean up the province, and Hou Jiedu sent a commissioner. One day, sitting idle in the mansion, he saw a pile of written papers on the table. Jia Zheng looked at them one by one and saw a copy from the Ministry of Criminal Justice: In order to report the matter, he would see Xue Pan, a businessman from Jinling. , Already mentioned this!Looking at it carefully, it was Xue Pan who beat Zhang San to death, and ordered the corpse to make a confession of manslaughter.Jia Zheng slapped the table and said, "It's over!"Have to look again, the bottom is: According to the Jingying Jiedu envoy, Xue Pan was originally from Jinling, traveled through Taiping County, and stayed overnight in Lijiadian. He did not recognize Zhang Sansu who was in the store.On a certain day, month and day, Xue Pan ordered the shopkeeper to prepare wine and invite Wu Liang, a citizen of Taiping County, to drink with him, and ordered Zhang San to take the wine.Unwilling to drink, Xue Pan ordered him to exchange for better wine.Zhang Sanyin said that the wine has been sold and it is difficult to change.Because of Yi's stubbornness, Xue Pan splashed the wine on his face, and unexpectedly castrated very violently. Just when Zhang San lowered his head to pick up the chopsticks, he missed and threw the wine bowl at Zhang San's Lumen.Shopkeeper Li was too late to save him, so he informed Zhang San's mother.Zhang Wang, Yi's mother, went to look and saw that she was dead. Then she called to the Dibao and went to the county to report.According to the inspection by the former county government, Wu Zuo broke one inch and three points of the bone and injured the waist and eye.It can be seen that Xue Pan was actually throwing wine and accidentally injured Zhang San and died by throwing a bowl.Wait for the cause to come.The ministers and others carefully read the inconsistencies in the confessions before and after the dead relatives of the criminals, and checked the notes in the "Law of Fighting and Killing": Fighting is fighting, and fighting is fighting.Manslaughter can be planned only if there is no fighting situation, and the encounter is dead.The festival should be ordered to examine the facts and properly formulate the questions.Today, according to the Jiedu Shu: Because Zhang San refused to exchange wine, Xue Pan took Zhang San's right hand after he was drunk, and punched Zhang San's waist and eyes first.Zhang San was beaten back and scolded, Xue Pan threw the bowl, causing serious injuries to Lu Men, his bones were broken and his mind was broken, and he died immediately.It was Zhang San's death that was caused by Xue Pan's severe injury with a wine bowl, so Xue Pan should be used as a countermeasure, and Xue Pan should be hanged in accordance with the "Law of Fighting and Killing", and Wu Liang should be used as a stick.The prefectures and counties that have accepted the falsehood should be invited Note that this manuscript is not complete. Aunt Xue asked Jia Zheng to entrust the county magistrate. If he asked for an order to have a trial, he would implicate himself, so he was very worried.I'm about to read the next book, but it's not.I had to read the newspaper over and over again, but I finally didn't accept this one. I was suspicious and became more afraid. Just wondering, I saw Li Shi'er coming in: "Please go to the official hall to serve the master. Your lord's yamen has already played two drums."Jia Zheng was just in a daze and didn't hear.Li Shi'er asked again.Jia Zheng said, "what's the matter with this?"Li Shi'er said: "What's on your mind, master?"Jia Zheng told the story of reading the newspaper.Li Shi'er said: Don't worry, master.If the ministry did this, it would be cheap, Mr. Xue!When the slave was in Beijing, I heard that Uncle Xue called many daughter-in-laws in the shop, and they all got drunk and made trouble, and beat the pawn to death.The servant heard that he not only entrusted the county magistrate, but also begged the second master Lian to spend a lot of money. After opening up all the yamen, he only mentioned it. I don't know why the ministry didn't understand it.Now it's broken, and the officials are protecting each other, but if you admit that the trial is not true, let's be dismissed and punished, how can you still recognize the money and listen to the situation?You don't have to think about it, master, why don't you wait for the slaves to inquire about it?Don't miss out on your boss.Jia Zheng said, "How do you know?"It's a pity that the county magistrate lost the official after hearing a story, and he doesn't know if he is guilty or not!Li Shi'er said: "It's useless to think about him now. I've been waiting outside for a long time. Please go, master."Jia Zheng didn't know what Jiedu Chuan was doing, and let's listen to the next chapter.
