The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Dazhang, Dazhang, the legendary Dazhang is here, ask for tickets and collect it

##

Su Jin watched coldly, although he knew that Zhu Shiyong had found a scapegoat to cover up his tricks, but he was helpless.

At present, it can only be proved that this suicide note is a forgery. As for who forged it and why Su Jin was blamed, although there are speculations about these issues, there is no real evidence; As far as he is concerned, he is also the most suspected; Zhu Shiyong seized this point and launched the crime as a scapegoat, but it fit perfectly, teaching Su Jin, Bao Zheng and others could not intervene. < Personal appearance, not to mention being tortured into a trick, even if you want to confess at this moment, you can't speak.

"Put him in prison to wait for his release, and the case will be retried at another date; in addition, because Qin Dalang's suicide note is full of doubts, the government announced that it would withdraw the charges against Su Jin in Luzhou Prefecture and release him in court; because this official was deceived by villains, he almost wronged Su Jin." Little official, this official expresses his deep regret, and rewarded him with twenty guan as a consolation."

Su Jin admired his hand very much, he could afford it and put it down, he would shamelessly accuse him of slander if he advanced, he would not hesitate to lose his pawn to save the car if he retreated, he put down his face and confessed his mistakes, and in an instant, he changed from the stupid and arrogant one who forced the crime to be imposed on Su Jin before. The state of mind has changed into a high-profile attitude of knowing mistakes and being able to correct them, and being open-minded. Like a chaebol, he quickly covers up his exposed weaknesses.

Awesome!Su Jin secretly admired, this guy is worthy of being a veteran in the officialdom, and when confronting Lei with him, there is always a feeling that he can't be beaten to death.

"Whoever wants your money, twenty pennies is not enough for my young master to eat a meal." Xiao Sui'er saw that the magistrate declared Su Jin innocent, and the anger that was simmering in her heart could no longer be restrained, and exploded.

"The government can arrest a person casually, accuse him of a crime, and then just talk about it afterwards, and pay him twenty stinky money? It's a good idea!" The magistrate's grandfather said in his heart that the bamboo tube is crackling and crisp like beans poured down.

Zhu Shiyong was a good man to the end, and he said kindly: "Then according to this little lady, how can I make up for it? I have two sleeves, and it's not difficult for you to ask me to show you ten or twenty. If it’s a hundred and one thousand, I can only be this black gauze hat.”

Zhu Shiyong is self-proclaimed that his two sleeves are cool, and the common people just go in without knowing it. The people around the chamber of commerce and the yamen are disgusting to death. There will be no corrupt officials, and every year the chamber of commerce pays tens of thousands of tributes, are they all fucking fed to the dogs?"

But he said: "Yes, yes, why bother with this matter, little lady, how can people be innocent if they are not sages, the magistrate has already admitted his negligence, and this omission was deliberately concealed by that gangster, speaking of it, the magistrate is also the same. unintended mistake."

Everyone echoed, Su Jin smiled and said nothing. Originally, his maid had no right to speak if he was present, but if the master didn't say anything, others had the right to acquiesce that she was the spokesperson, and there was no way to blame her.

"You put it lightly. Could it be that my son has suffered all this injustice in vain? If Mr. Bao hadn't seen clearly, maybe today he would be beaten into a pig's head like that gangster." Xiao Sui'er looked at Tang with blank eyes. Ji Yuan shouted.

Tang Jiyuan pointed at her and said, "You...you are so eloquent, how decent you are."

Xiao Sui'er snorted and said, "Come to Ming'er and let the magistrate arrest you and charge you with murder, and then slap your mouth twenty times, and see if you still make sarcastic remarks."

The common people burst out laughing, and those who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal said strangely: "Yes, that's right, if you find a dead body tomorrow and bring a suicide note, you will also wrong the Tang Dadong family."

"I'm afraid it won't work. Mr. Bao has already said that a suicide note will not withstand soaking, and it will rot after soaking."

"Idiot, do you really want to find the dead ghost who threw himself into the river? As long as he either threw himself into the river or rotted into scum, the suicide note is also well preserved."

"Eh... what this brother said is reasonable. If my brother harms someone, I'm afraid there will be no flaws."

"Fuck you, I'm the most hated person in the world. Why do you want to hurt someone? Take back your words, or I will make your face bloom."

"That's right, I admit it... just pretend I didn't say that."

"..."

Everyone laughed endlessly, and their words were quite disrespectful to the magistrate and members of the chamber of commerce. Zhu Shiyong understood that it would be impossible to regain his official authority today, so he coughed and said, "Mr. The official is only judging the case based on evidence, and he has no intention of wronging the junior official. As for the negligence of the evidence, it is the responsibility of the official, but it is not enough to ask a little lady to come and criticize the official? Today's matter is up to the official. The review is clear, and when the mastermind behind the scenes is found out, I will definitely give Su Xiaoguan an explanation, but here I will give this official a bad face, how about ending it?"

Of course Su Jin knows that enough is enough, if it is really going to make everyone unable to get off the stage, the magistrate will be ruthless and ignore it, but it is not beautiful; thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Bao Zheng who was standing by the side, Bao Zheng was expressionless. expression, brows furrowed, just nodded slightly.

Su Jin understood, clasped his fists at Zhu Shiyong and said: "My lord's words are reasonable, let's stop this matter here. Your lord's official duties are cumbersome, and omissions are inevitable."

"Su Xiaoguan understands righteousness deeply. He has such capacity at such a young age. It is really admirable. His future is limitless." Zhu Shiyong presented the high hat with a smile on his face.

Su Jin ordered Xiao Sui'er to accept twenty pieces of comfort money. Although Xiao Sui'er was full of reluctance, she pouted helplessly, went up and snatched the money tray from the teacher's hand, and took the money out of the teacher's hand. He staggered and almost fell to his death.

"Caomin has one more request." Su Jin said.

Zhu Shiyong thought in his heart: "I know it's not so cheap." With a smile on his face, he said: "Please tell me, Su Xiaoguan."

"Although Caomin understands your lord's difficulties, please understand your lord's difficulties. After such a disturbance, some people in Luzhou must have a bad impression of me, Su Ji, and Su Ji's reputation has been damaged. Caomin would like to ask your lord to make a public announcement to clarify the matter. The whole story was made public in the four cities under the name of Zhengsuji; I wonder if this request is too much?"

Zhu Shiyong's face was embarrassed, but he hesitated for a moment before he said straightforwardly: "It should be so. Not too much, not at all, just as you said, master will do it."

The master bowed to promise, and Zhu Shiyong made a bow and said: "Brother Xi, Su Xiaoguan, colleagues, today's trial is over, and I can't leave you to have a good time because of busy work. Leave it to others, and retire Tang!" After saying that, he turned his face and strode away from the side door, the smile on his face turned into a ruthless color from the moment he stepped into the side door, as if he had suddenly fallen from the scorching summer to the biting General ice cave.

Bao Zheng didn't smile like everyone in the Su family and the common people. He bowed solemnly to the "Mirror Hanging High" plaque on the hall and bowed deeply. Then he was surrounded by everyone in the Su family, Li Chongyan, Biyun and others. Step out of the lobby.

Everyone in the chamber of commerce looked depressed, and they couldn't express their depression in their hearts, but they knew that there was still a hurdle to pass at this moment, and that was the hurdle of the magistrate. This matter was done like this, and Zhu Shiyong was thrown away in front of hundreds of people. With all his face, it goes without saying that this matter will spread throughout the city in a few days. How can the magistrate, who has always been a majestic and confident official, swallow this breath.

Several people glanced at each other, all silent, Tang Jiyuan took the lead, entered from the side door, and chased after the magistrate's back.

After leaving the yamen, I saw that it was almost noon, and the scorching sun was scorching heat everywhere. Su Jin insisted on expressing his gratitude and invited Bao Zheng, Li Chong and others to have dinner in "Hefeng Tower". Su Jindao: "I'm not for you. If it's anyone else who has a grievance, Bao will stand up."

Su Jin cupped his hands and said: "My lord's mind is very clear, you are to live up to the emperor's grace, and to live up to the people of Liming. I didn't invite this meal myself. The businessman's profit comes from the people, even if it is me How about treating you to this meal for the common people?"

Everyone admired Su Jin's good eloquence. Bao Zheng thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it. In addition, Yan Biyun was here, so he should have greeted him. After all, Yan Shu was his referrer for being promoted to the prefect of Duanzhou this time. So I agreed.

Su Jin cheered, his excitement palpable; everyone thought he was in a happy mood when he was out of the cage, but the shopkeepers thought a little bit wrongly, and they even thought that Su Jin could make friends with Mr. Bao and find a backer for himself, but Mr. Bao was far away. Knowing that Duanzhou, the Su family's business is all in Luzhou, I'm afraid the young master's happy things will be in vain.

However, the fact that the Young Master's family was safe and sound this time was all thanks to Mr. Bao who overthrew the key evidence. Everyone had heard Mr. Bao's name for a long time, so they were naturally happy to have a meal together.

It was rare for Bao Zheng to show a smile. He could see that Su Jin really admired him. Although he had seen this kind of vision a lot, he didn't have any special feelings, but it would always make him feel happier if he worshiped himself more.

How did they know that the joy in Su Jin's heart was neither because he could cling to a high-ranking official as a backer, nor because Bao Zheng resolutely rescued him this time, but because he could travel through thousands of years and be at the same table with his childhood idol Bao Qingtian. Yin, what an exciting thing this is; Su Jin kept saying in his heart: "This is alive! It can move! It can talk! It can be seen and touched!"

Even as long as Su Jin is willing, he can immediately pounce on him for a bear hug, without worrying that this is a fake, this is the real thing!

Su Jin was in high spirits, but Yan Biyun couldn't laugh or cry. This guy was so complacent, he didn't care about his sour body, his clothes were torn and one sleeve was missing, and he was wandering around the street with half his arm bare and wearing cassocks. The young master of the Su family is simply a loafer wandering the streets.

"Tell your son to go back and take a bath, change clothes, what are you looking like." Yan Biyun leaned closer to Xiao Sui'er's ear and said.

Xiao Sui'er was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Su Jin's appearance, and couldn't help covering her mouth and grinning; Su Jin looked at herself blankly, couldn't help but blushed, her clothes were disheveled, and she was still brainwashing the Luzhou elders, what to say "Basic food, housing and transportation, clothing comes first", isn't this a slap in the face?

Su Jin hurriedly apologized to Bao Zheng, Li Chong, Yan Biyun and others. Disheveled clothes are an offense to others, especially if there are women present; Bao Zheng is a person who pays attention to etiquette. It's his fault, seeing him so respectful now makes me feel a little more fond of him.

"Stop laughing, silly girl, you didn't remind me long ago." Su Jin pretended to be angry.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I just found out after being reminded by someone, my lord...hehe...Young master's attire might become a trend in the streets of Luzhou." Jin used the vocabulary to tease him.

What can you do with such a maid at the booth?Su Jin rolled her eyes helplessly, apologized, got into the mule cart and went home to take a bath.

Yan Biyun pushed Xiao Sui'er, who was still giggling and giggling, and said, "Hurry up? Take the incense and smoke it inside and out, and boil a pot of hot water with dried moxa to get rid of bad luck. Besides, I don't need the clothes, don't Burn it, find a flower tree and bury it."

Xiao Sui'er covered her mouth and looked at her strangely, and said in her heart: "This Yan Dong's family is really careful, and they are not so kind to the young master."
