The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 433
Lao Qiu didn't expect it, as soon as he entered Tianjin Wei Yamen, Xiao Qi immediately changed his face and kicked him into a prison cart, saying that he was going to be taken to the Imperial Prison in the capital to await trial.

Lao Qiu was stunned for a moment, stunned for a while, and began to cry bitterly and kowtow to beg for mercy.

He took out five ten taels of silver bills from his pocket, and waved them desperately in front of the small flag: "My lord! My lord! You are my grandfather! The younger one is a person who prepares meals. What does it have to do with the burning shipyard? Grandpa You have to learn from it!"

With a slight smile on his lips, Xiao Qi took the silver and stuffed it into his arms, and said, "To tell you the truth, Long Live Lord is really furious. What the old man wants to investigate is not only the burning of the boat, but also the matter of determination. We must thoroughly investigate the corruption of the shipyard from top to bottom. You, don't struggle, hurry up and tell grandpa how much money you have corrupted, how much you didn't pay, and how much you handed over. Clear. Maybe you can save yourself a little bit of suffering, otherwise...hehe, you always know what the Imperial Prison is."

"No no, my lord was joking, what kind of money can I be greedy for when I prepare a meal?" Lao Qiu smiled obsequiously, and took out another 50 taels of silver from his bosom and waved it in front of the small flag.

Xiao Qi smiled, took the bank note and stuffed it into his bosom, but walked out without saying anything.

The two captains smiled and followed Xiao Qi, as if they wanted to share some soup, but Xiao Qi ignored them, but went straight to Yu Weiliang's temporary office, and took the 100 taels given by Lao Qiu just now. It's on Boss Yu's table.

Yu Weiliang picked up the banknote and glanced at it twice, smiled and nodded twice on the face of the ticket, and said, "It's still from the Royal Bank. I really don't care about His Majesty." Then he nodded in praise, " You did a good job! Take the token and go to the Royal Bank to ask how many bank notes this Qiu Ren has exchanged in Tianjin."

Xiao Qi stood at attention and shouted yes, and happily led the two captains back out.

The two school lieutenants were disappointed, and said in a slightly complaining tone: "Master Jiao, why don't you keep some for yourself!"

The face of Xiaoqi Jiao, surnamed Jiao, suddenly sank: "Keep some? Do you know that those people from Dali Temple went to ask the vegetable farmers outside the city for the price early this morning? Boss Yu will forgive you We? I can warn you, if you still want to hang out with the young master, don't stretch out your hands this time! Don't stick out a little finger!"

Seeing the two school captains drooping their heads and looking a little lost, Jiao Xiaoqi calmed down and said, "Don't be too discouraged, this time, there are clear-headed people like us, and there are foolish ones! Just look at it." , Someday someone will fall, it will be when my master and I are promoted, and I will not lead you to the next step? Keep your eyes open!"

The two school lieutenants thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be such a rationale. They regained their energy and followed their superiors to do their errands.

This old Qiu is really an old fritter. He even dared to deny the deposit certificate issued by the Royal Bank before his eyes, saying that the money was temporarily loaned to him by his uncle who was in business, and it was not his greedy money.

Jiao Xiaoqi was about to be laughed at by this old guy, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it in front of the prison car and said with a smile: "Can you read it? This is the chapter of Dali Temple, have you seen it? Dali Temple went to the vegetable farmers to ask After that, the price of vegetables sold to you and how much they sold are all written in black and white here, but our Ministry of Industry’s account book does not remember this price. Grandpa, I will give you a rough calculation. This year, you have at least been greedy. More than 5000 taels. It's useless if you don't admit it, but Long Live Lord is personally asking about this matter."

Qiu Ren's lips began to tremble, but he dared not admit it!
If you recognize this, your head will be gone!
He really didn't expect Dali Temple to move so fast!

There are more than 30 vegetable farmers delivering vegetables to the shipyard every day. The price of vegetables also fluctuates. He increases the price, which is not fixed. Sometimes he adds two points, sometimes one point, and occasionally three points.

But the total of more than 5000 taels is about the same.

Qiu Ren was still gnashing his teeth in his heart. Why did those vegetable farmers keep their accounts so clearly?Do they know how to read?
It’s really not that all vegetable farmers can read and like to make accounts, but the officials in Dali Temple, under the leadership of Jiang Yuanchao, have carefully studied the "Basics of Statistics". Once you calculate the total, you can almost get it, and you don't need to go to each day in detail.

As a mathematics enthusiast, Yu Weiliang naturally has to take his subordinates to study here, such as Jiao Xiaoqi, who have all studied "Basic Statistics". For them, this book is more practical than the previous ones. This "Equations, Functions, and Linear Programming" is much stronger.

Qiu Ren peed his pants in extreme fear.

However, I haven't drank much water in the past two days, only a few drops of urine, but the smell is choking.

Jiao Xiaoqi smelled it, pinched his nose, took two steps back, and continued: "It's useless if you don't admit it, if you insist that it was given by your uncle, grandpa, I will arrest your uncle right now, and ask Ask him if he gave it to you. Guess if your uncle dares to make up nonsense for you. I will give you one last chance, if you don’t speak well, grandpa will be sentenced to death.”

He pulled out the small knife from his waist and swung it.

Qiu Ren lost his arrogance, bowed his head and said, "Give me a good meal first." He looked like he was about to die.

Jiao Xiaoqi laughed happily: "It's easy to handle. Don't you just behave like this? It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't I get you something delicious?"

After all, he is a 30-year old official of the Ministry of Industry. He filially records the money he gave to his superiors, and writes down every penny. The account books are actually hidden in the rice tank in the shipyard kitchen.

But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the employees of Dali Temple and Jinyiwei also want to go home to celebrate the New Year. Jiao Xiaoqi even told his boss Cai Zongqi, if he can ask Boss Yu to handle the case before the Chinese New Year.

After getting a negative answer, he could only bite the bullet and continue working.

But the attitude is quite violent.

Qiu Ren was beaten for nothing, hugged his head and curled up in the corner of the wall, crying.

Since he couldn't go home for the New Year, he had to be worthy of his hard work, and Jiao Xiaoqi, who wanted to make meritorious service, asked Qiu Ren to write about the past affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Qiu Ren wanted to play dumb, but Jiao Xiaoqi said: "Didn't Dudu Ou be the cleanest official you've ever seen? Who are the dishonest ones? What's the dishonest way? Grandpa warns you, don't play tricks with Grandpa , really entered the imperial prison, and fell into the hands of our boss, who can slowly smash every bone in your body with a small hammer! At that time, it was really hard to even die."

In just ten days, there were eight officials involved in Qiu Ren's line alone, like a string of gourds, one by one, and each of them got a little bit, until it was distributed to Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and Ou Shaofeng.

Half a month later, the prison in Tianjin Wei Yamen was almost full, and almost all the officials in the shipyard were spared, and a lot of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were also involved.

The emperor was so angry when he saw the list that he didn't even do New Year's sacrifices.

Zhang Guangjian, Minister of the Ministry of Trust and Rites, came to persuade him, the emperor looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly asked a very sharp question: "How much silver can Aiqing get for a New Year's sacrifice?"

Zhang Guangjian was so frightened that he slammed his knees on the ground with a bang, and fell to the ground, shaking badly.

Zhang Guangjian was a young man favored by the emperor, and it was also the emperor who promoted him from a doctor in the Ministry of Rites to a minister. He thought that maybe this young man with some attainments in mathematics could give the Ministry of Rites in charge of imperial examinations and education a new look.

In fact, what he has done in the past six months has been quite satisfactory to the emperor.

Not wanting to embarrass Zhang Guangjian, the emperor waved his hand and told him to go back and rest.

Zhang Guangjian had a fever when he got home.

When the emperor heard about it, he sent an imperial physician to treat him.

After all, this young man was only 36 years old. After resting in bed for two days, the fever subsided.Zhang Guangjian lay on the bed and looked at the top of the bed, thinking for a long time, put on his coat, sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and seriously described the bribes he had received and the gifts he had given to his superiors since he was admitted to Jinshi and became an official. One is not badly written.

"What are you writing this for?" Zhang Guangjian's wife turned pale when she saw what her husband wrote.

Zhang Guangjian seemed not to hear it, and continued to write carefully, stroke by stroke.

……

The large-scale anti-corruption operation triggered by the burning of the shipyard made everyone in the Manchu Dynasty feel insecure.

It was supposed to be the happiest first month, but the atmosphere in the capital was very depressing.

Everyone thought that the emperor was about to start a massacre, and they were so frightened that they closed their doors to thank the guests, and they didn't even dare to hold a banquet.At this stall, who dares to reveal that Fu didn't bump into the muzzle of the gun himself?
However, no matter how tense the situation in the court was, the Song Mansion was just as lively, and even married the in-laws with the current assistant on the tenth day of the first lunar month!

Mrs. Liang didn't bother to pay attention to the hypocrisy of the second elder, and directly made the decision for him, and exchanged more notes with the Lu family.Fearing that Song Chenxu, an uneasy thing, would get in the way again, at the fourteenth day, he gave a very important small engagement gift.

The dowry was also prepared early, even doubling the original amount!
Ever since Mr. Lu's old servant became the trusted second assistant, Mrs. Liang saw that Lu Wenyan liked her more and more, and made up her mind to make this girl her daughter-in-law no matter what.

The Lu family was naturally happy to see what happened.As for Song Erlang, who was in the middle of the competition, no civil servant could refuse such a son-in-law.

Madam Lu was naturally happy to find such a good son-in-law.

Ever since my own daughter got engaged to Song Erlang, I don't know how many noble ladies in the capital came to congratulate Mrs. Lu with envy and jealousy.

Not only because Song Erlang is promising, but also because the Song Mansion is one of the most wealthy in the capital!

Although Song Jianming's reputation among literati is a bit polarized, those who admire him regard him as an idol in life, those who scold him want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and call him a scumbag of scholars and flatter villains, but everyone respects him. It is clear that whichever daughter can marry into the Song family will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth for the rest of her life.

Who knows, even if he resigns, he can still find the granddaughter of the next Cisuke as his daughter-in-law!

The two families of Song and Zhang were engaged, but the one who was most angry was Zhang Shilang, Zhang Luoyi's father.

He just said it!He said that the old man surnamed Lu stayed at home for so many years, why did he suddenly recover, and became the second assistant of the cabinet in one step!
It turned out that he had been secretly with Song's family for a long time!

Of course, Zhang Shilang only dared to complain at home, and when he should be polite, he was still polite.

The Song Mansion is lively, but Qiandi is even more lively here.

Except for Ou Nanguan who came to Li Zhao to intercede for his brother before the New Year's Eve dinner, after the third year of junior high, people came to Li Zhao and Song Qingyue with gifts to intercede.

Li Zhao never refused, and always responded with a full mouth, promising to try his best to help intercede, and then sent him away with a smile.

The situation in the princess mansion is similar.

After the Lantern Festival, Song Qingyue had a good rest for a few days.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, the second sister and Lu Wenyan came to Qiandi to have a small gathering with Song Qingyue.

The mansion has newly made a batch of coconut desserts, as well as pineapple cakes made from canned pineapples. Song Qingyue invited them to come and taste them.

The two of them ate their snacks, and at the same time they began to complain that there were too many people who came to walk through the door and interceded for their elders and brothers.

It's already busy enough to prepare for the banquet in the first month, but also to deal with those who come to intercede, it's a big head!

The second sister's husband, Jiang Yuanchao, was in charge of investigating the case, so it was understandable for those people to follow the second sister's footsteps.

Song Qingyue looked at Lu Wenyan and asked amusedly, "Someone came in your way?"

Lu Wenyan snorted: "That's not right! Qi Xiaojiu from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry has never looked at me directly before, and now she ran to me and cried. It's just her grandpa, a corrupt official! I don't want to help her! Everything It would be better to be beheaded!"

Song Qingyue and Song Yuxi were amused by this outspoken and jealous girl together.

In this period of time, only Song Qingyue's small circle can laugh like this without any burden.

Song Yuxi laughed, and stuffed another pineapple cake into her mouth, this thing is really delicious!Seeing that she had already taken the fourth one, Song Qingyue stopped her and said, "Elder sister, eat less! This stuff is sweet, you will get fat if you eat too much!"

Song Yuxi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just let me eat. I have it again, and it's been three months."

"And..." Song Qingyue was at a loss for words, and she wanted to remind her that being too pregnant is not good for her health, but the second sister's face was full of happiness and joy, she pursed her lips, she was pregnant, don't say anything disappointing, But what should be reminded is still to be reminded: "Eat less when you are pregnant. Hypertension during pregnancy and diabetes during pregnancy are not a joke. You should eat less for the sake of the child in your belly."

Song Yuxi held half a piece of pineapple cake in his mouth, and stared at the third younger sister with aggrieved expression: "Will you get sick if you eat too much sweet?"

Song Qingyue nodded, and continued to scare her seriously: "The face turned yellow, and she lost her hair."

Song Yuxi looked at her younger sister's still white and delicate face after giving birth, nodded in conviction, put down the remaining half of the pineapple cake, drank a sip of tea, and said, "By the way, during the Chinese New Year, I received a letter from my elder brother , said that she wanted my sister-in-law to take the child to Guizhou. My mother said that when Miss Lu married in April next year, she was going to send her away. I don’t know how many years it will take for my sister-in-law to see her again. I thought I would give her some What does our little nephew give?"

Song Qingyue laughed: "This is a good thing. They are finally reunited. I also have to think about what to prepare for my sister-in-law."

The three of them were chatting happily when Su Su came in suddenly and whispered in Song Qingyue's ear, "Mother, Ou Liangyuan is asking to see you."
