lady, please calm down

Chapter 280 Chen Jingyan, do you want face?
Searching your home is an addictive thing.

Especially after having the great righteousness of 'property of the country'
However, Marquis Lu An's move to detain the magistrate of Huaiyuan County and more than ten squires caused a great shock in the Suzhou government office.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Yuze, the prefect of Suzhou, went to Huaiyuan County in person under the escort of his own army, but Chen Chu claimed to be ill and disappeared.

The next day, Zhang Chunxiao, the pacifying envoy of Henan Road, arrived again.
They came to Huaiyuan one after another, all interceding for the gentry for the same thing.

In the nearly 200 years of history between Zhou and Qi, it is unheard of for the gentry in one county to be single-handedly dumped.

The world's gentry are one body, and as representatives of the gentry, Zhu Yuze, Zhang Chunxiao and others naturally have to express their views.

It's just that this time Chen Chu used the excuse of "traitor of state assets" to deal with the gentry. Without this reason, I'm afraid he would have long been known as a "murderer of the gentry", and would have been criticized and criticized by thousands of people.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the thief Jin Taiping appeared near Suzhou Fucheng again, and Zhu Yuze became increasingly nervous.

On the same day, Zhang Chunxiao finally met Chen Chu at the military camp outside Huaiyuan County.
"Master Zhang will get [-]%."

"Marquis Lu An, I'm afraid [-]% is a bit too little!"

"Master Zhang, I will bear the bad reputation, but you only talk about it, [-]% is still less?"

"Marquis Lu An, you are not so easy to talk about! Score at least [-]%."

"Stop talking, it's [-]% at most. Just do it if you do it. If you don't do it, I'll find someone else to be the lobbyist!"

"Do it, Yuan Zhang, don't worry! You and I have worked together several times, and every time our cooperation has been flawless! It's better to use the raw than the familiar. Let me tell you this for you, brother!"

In the military camp, after nearly two hours of secret negotiations, Zhang Chunxiao finally conveyed Chen Chu's intention to Zhu Yuze and others.

"Marquis Lu An has always been concerned about the death of Commander Ma, and he hates the thief Jin Taiping to the core. Now that he knows that Lu Yuanwai and others are thieves, how can he swallow his breath?"

Zhang Chunxiao sighed in embarrassment. When Zhu Yuze saw this, he said cautiously: "Master Zhang is a Shangguan, why doesn't Marquis Lu An even give you face?"

These words were a bit provocative. Zhang Chunxiao snorted dissatisfied and said: "If I hadn't sacrificed my face to intercede for the Huaiyuan gentry, would they still have survived? If Zhu Zhifu is not satisfied, he can go to him to reason. "

"."

Zhu Yuze didn't want to see Chen Chu, but he couldn't even enter the military camp, and Marquis Lu An made it clear that he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

In recent days, people have been coming to ask Zhu Yuze to rescue Lu Yuanju and others. Zhu Yuze had a headache and had to ask: "Master Zhang, how can Marquis Lu An be willing to let the gentry go now?"

Zhang Chunxiao sighed while stroking his beard, and said: "Marquis Lu An is not as angry as the gentry capitalizing on thieves. What he means is that as the gentry capitalizes on thieves, they should reward the army."

extort money!

Zhu Yuze's first reaction was this. After a moment of silence, he carefully probed: "How much money does Marquis Lu An want to reward the army?"

"Didn't I just say, 'Just as the gentry pays for thieves, so should they reward the army'. I remember, Lu Yuanju and others each gave the thieves [-] silver."

"."

Even if Zhu Yuze didn't have to pay for the money, he was shocked and said hurriedly: "Sir Zhang, this kidnapping is just like the Lu and Du families, who are well-off, and they took out all the money accumulated in their families for generations. , where can I spend another [-] silver to reward the army?"

"If the Tibetan silver is gone, won't there still be shops, houses, and thousands of hectares of fertile farmland? Marquis Lu An said that the farmland and houses can be compensated."

"."

This means digging three feet into the ground and digging out the old roots of more than a dozen gentry!

Zhu Yuze was speechless for a moment. He looked at Shangguan Zhang Chunxiao blankly and wanted to ask, whose side are you on?

Zhang Chunxiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he couldn't help sighing again, and said sincerely: "I don't want this to be the case, but Lu Yuanju and others are capital thieves. Speaking out not only hurts the scholar's face, but also provokes a big enemy." Marquis Lu An. Magistrate Zhu is young and has a bright future. For the present plan, it is business to quickly ask Marquis Lu An to lead an army and join forces with Yu Dutong to kill Jin Taiping's ministry!

If the thieves continue to roam around Suzhou, if they break into another city and commit a tragedy that will attract the attention of the world, it would be normal for you, the prefect, to be demoted by the imperial court at the slightest, or lose your official title at the worst, and be sent to Tokyo City for trial for dereliction of duty. ! "

"."

Zhu Yuze didn't say anything for a long time. At this time, Zhang Chunxiao had transformed into a kind elder and advised earnestly: "Runfeng, among the chief officials of the Fourteenth Mansion on Henan Road, I am the most optimistic about you. You must do this." We must distinguish between gentleness and gentleness. What Lu Yuanju and a dozen other gentry families have done has ruined the reputation of the gentry. Give it up if it should be given up!
Runfeng should go and persuade his family to give up their fields and houses in order to provide military resources for the marquis to quell the thieves, in exchange for the peace of the people throughout Suzhou!In this way, we can report to the imperial court, protect our lives, and care for the people of Li."

Zhu Yuze pondered for a long time, then finally sighed and cupped his hands towards Zhang Chunxiao, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your advice. I know what to do."

The fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the editorial office of "Caizhou Five Days Talk" on Caizhou Academy Street, Chen Jinyu wrote a report about Lu Anhou leading his army into Suzhou based on the official documents he read from his father.

Lieutenant General Caizhou's children accounted for [-] to [-]% of the total. The elders in his hometown were naturally concerned about the movements of the army.

At this time, the maid Zhuan Yun walked back to the editorial office from the street and went straight to Chen Jinyu's room.

"Mom, I brought his newspaper."

Zhuan Yun took out a newspaper and placed it on Chen Jinyu's desk. The masthead of this newspaper had the words "Junziyan" printed on it, which looked like the name of the newspaper.

Chen Jinyu put down what she was doing and looked at it carefully.

Last month, Wu Yifan invited a group of Taixue classmates, and they gathered together all day long to talk and give advice.

Perhaps because they felt that their shocking words of warning lacked an audience, on the first day of this month, a few people pooled their money to start a newspaper called Junziyan, to educate the people.

In order to show our integrity, Junziyan, which is published every three days, is distributed free of charge.
Because the newspaper is full of condescending preaching, except for a few scholars who praise these students for their bad behavior, there are almost no ordinary people reading it.

But even so, Chen Jinyu, one of the founders of "Five Days Talk", is still subconsciously hostile to "Junziyan". He feels that the free publication of "Junziyan" by these Tai students is grandstanding, robbing readers of their own newspapers, and tearing down their own newspapers. tower
Therefore, every time the other party printed an issue, Chen Jinyu would have people collect it and check it out.

Today's "Junziyan" is also of little nutrition. The first edition is a eloquent, thousand-word strategy, and the main content of the discussion is how to destroy the Southern Dynasty within five years.

The second edition used gorgeous rhetoric to praise Daqi Emperor Liu Yu. From the prosperity of Caizhou, they inferred that Daqi was about to enter a glorious and prosperous era where "the world is at peace" and "the people live in peace".

The reason why Caizhou is prosperous is precisely because the emperor worked hard to govern, worked diligently and loved the people, and the gentry of the Qi Dynasty spread education widely.
The full text does not mention the local officials and Lu Anhou who put in a lot of effort.

Chen Jinyu frowned at the sight, but couldn't hold it back and spat in a low voice, "Bah, a bunch of sycophants!"

The third edition, in a relatively relaxed style, tells the interesting stories of the third prince Liu Chi's childhood. In short, it highlights the image of a benevolent gentleman with extraordinary precocious wisdom and respect for his teachers and filial piety.

Chen Jinyu was born into an aristocratic family and was naturally somewhat politically astute. Based on the rumors he heard every day, he came to a conclusion that was very close to the truth. The third prince won the support of most scholars.

It wasn't until she turned to the fourth page that Chen Jinyu couldn't calm down after reading it.In the fourth page, there is a report mentioning the recent incident of gentry and capitalist thieves in Huaiyuan County.

The imperial students of the Junziyan newspaper office are naturally emotionally close to the gentry. However, it has become a conclusion that the Huaiyuan gentry was greedy for life and fearful of death, and lost money to thieves. If they are forcibly cleared, the imperial students will inevitably bear the same "greed for life and harm for justice" as Lu Yuanju and others. suspicion.

Therefore, a scholar with the pen name of "Miaobi Sheng" took a different approach and published an article saying that the route the thieves took to leave by boat after obtaining the silver was a bit strange. He also said that Jin Taiping's troops were elusive, and it was not like a group that had been defeated long ago. The quality that a bandit who has been hiding in Tibet for many days should have.
Although it was not explained, this report implicitly expressed the idea that there should be a secret behind the matter, and even more implicitly expressed the suspicion that the left-behind secretary in Caizhou was secretly colluding with the thieves.

After reading this, Chen Jinyu couldn't help but feel annoyed, and said to herself: My uncle is the best man in the world and a hero who is upright, how could he do such dirty things as colluding with thieves in private!

He even did the disgraceful act of pretending to be a thief and blocking the road once or twice, just to keep me in Caizhou. Anyway, my uncle will not make fun of military and political affairs!

When analyzing this matter, Chen Jinyu substituted strong personal emotions of likes and dislikes, and naturally lost her objective rationality.

At the same time, she also knew that the students who ran the newspaper were classmates with Wu Yifan, so Ayu concluded that this article must have been written by someone else under the instigation of Wu Yifan to slander her uncle!
Thinking of this, Chen Jinyu became even more angry, took the newspaper and went out.

Walking all the way back to Yaqian Street, she hesitated outside the gate of the official residence. She originally wanted her father to read this newspaper. How did Wu Yifan bully his uncle!

But recently, her father seems to have seen some clues. Every time she mentions her uncle at home, she will be scolded by her father.

Now let’s get the newspaper. Let’s not talk about whether dad can help uncle. It’s inevitable that he will be scolded first!

After thinking about it, Chen Jinyu turned around and went to the left-behind officer's office next door, "Brother Jun, please inform Mr. Yanagawa."

It's two o'clock.

Caizhou stayed behind at the Siguan Yamen, while Chen Jingan was on duty.

In addition to him, there were also Cai Yuan and Zhao Ren in the room.
This combination is very strange, but in the absence of Chen Chu, the three people present can almost make decisions on all matters in Caizhou.

Today the three of them gathered together to discuss how to deal with the more than 100 million taels of silver that suddenly arrived a few days ago.

In terms of official matters, Mao'er almost never took the initiative to ask questions unless Chen Chu told her. Therefore, she was the most surprised among the three to learn that she suddenly had such a large sum of money.

However, one advantage of cats is that even though they don’t ask too many questions, as long as they are sent back by officials, they will assume that they belong to them.

Chen Jingan, who was present, represented the left-behind department, and Cai Yuan represented the government office. Although the three of them had slight differences on how to use the money, they had the same general demands.

Chen Jingan proposed to deposit this huge sum of money into the four major banks and use it as a reserve fund to issue additional invoices.

As for whether the huge amount of cargo tickets will be used to continue to strengthen the military equipment of the left-behind department or to build the official road connecting Cai, Ying, and Shou, it will be discussed after Lu Anhou returns to convene the Five Golden Flowers and senior military officers.
Mao'er and Cai Yuan nodded in agreement and came down.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the business was over, Mao'er was worried about Yu Nong, who might give birth at any time in the near future, so she stood up and left.

Cai Yuan also said goodbye to Chen Jing'an.

The two left the duty room and walked out while chatting. However, they bumped into Chen Jinyu who was walking in at the courtyard gate.

Neither Mao'er nor Chen Jinyu expected to meet here. They were stunned at the same time, but they both reacted immediately.

With a slight smile on his face, Mao'er called out kindly, "Ayu, why are you here?"

But Chen Jinyu's response was even warmer than Mao'er's. She went straight forward and took Mao'er's arm, and said obediently like a child: "Sister Ren, Ayu came to talk to my second uncle about something. I also said that I would visit my home later. Sister Yunong."

Cai Yuan next to him glanced at Chen Jinyu in confusion. The relationship between the brothers was on display here. If the third child didn't reveal it to his daughter, it would be understandable that she called Zhao Renren sister because she didn't know her seniority, but the fifth child's aunt also It's a bit strange to call her sister.

"Well, okay. You have to be busy first. After playing, go home. In the past few days, Yunong has been writing a suicide note and muttering about protecting the child. She has become a crazy woman! You go and just talk to her. , so that she won’t be nagging all day long.”

Mao'er naturally knew what Chen Jinyu was thinking and patted the back of the latter's hand gently.

Seeing this, Cai Yuan suddenly felt alarmed and took a serious look at Chen Jinyu again. In Cai Yuan's impression, Chen Jinyu was still the well-educated little girl that Chen Jingyan brought when he first arrived at Ren Tongshan.

I didn't notice it for several years, but today I suddenly discovered that she has grown into a slim and beautiful girl.

Combined with the current situation that Chen Jinyu and Wu Jiazi's marriage was almost broken down, Cai Yuan understood something instantly. You are the third child. You usually talk about "decent and etiquette", but you didn't expect to secretly encourage your daughter to do such a thing!

You, the Yingchuan Chen family, have been a family for thousands of years, but you let your daughter grow up with others. Chen Jingyan, do you still want to be embarrassed?
Cai Yuan was so anxious that he turned around and left the government office, and went to Cai Hua's residence on Xuyuan Street. It was obviously my daughter who came first, but even your thousand-year-old family would still be behind my Hua'er!

In the check-in room, Chen Jing'an carefully read the fourth edition of Jun Zi Yan brought by his niece. Unlike A Yu who was out of indignation, Chen Jing'an, who was familiar with the inside story, was a little frightened.

Whether this miaobisheng deliberately poured dirty water on Chen Chu, or he really found clues from the sporadic news that reached Caizhou.

In short, this person almost told the truth.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jing'an already had a way to deal with it, so he calmly said to his niece: "Ayu, I know about this. You can go back first."

what?
That's it?

Chen Jinyu was greatly disappointed. She didn't expect her second uncle to accompany her and scold those imperial students who were making trouble for nothing, but her second uncle must find a way quickly!
Just say "I understand" and dismiss the person?

Chen Jinyu was a little anxious and said without thinking: "Second uncle! Those people dare to slander Marquis Lu An today, and tomorrow they will dare to use a pen as a knife to kill my father, who is also an official in Caizhou! Second uncle cannot ignore it!"

"."

Chen Jing'an looked at Chen Jinyu in surprise. Everyone knew that the biggest reason why this group of imperial students who only knew how to talk was hostile to Chen Chu was because they were jealous that the latter had won the love of the officials and people of Caizhou as a warrior!

Originally, this honor should only belong to scholars.

Therefore, how could they kill Chen Jingyan, who was also a scholar?
I have to say that Ayu’s words are too alarmist and exaggerated.

But the look in his eyes made Chen Jinyu even more anxious and aggrieved on behalf of his uncle. He was so excited that he said without hesitation: "Second uncle, Marquis Lu An has been in Caizhou for more than a year. Is there any fault in any of the piles he made?" ? The reason why Ayu feels that there is still room for salvation in this world is precisely because there is a man like his uncle in the world who is so brave and brave as to support the people! Now that his second uncle is working with him, he also wants to tell the story of being a cannibal and a loyal person. Second uncle, you can’t pretend not to see it.”

In desperation, Chen Jinyu finally showed his flaws. When he said this, Xiuyan's face turned red and tears filled her round almond eyes.

Chen Jing'an stared at his niece, stunned for a while, and finally said slowly: "Ayu, uncle didn't say he didn't care about this matter. Why are you so anxious?"

"." Only then did Chen Jinyu realize that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly tried to recover, but her face was red due to excitement, and the tears that had gathered above the sleeping silkworm could not be recovered for a while.

　This chapter is a bit short. I went home on vacation today and drove [-] kilometers to the high-speed rail station for two hours. I cried to death!

　　This chapter was coded on the high-speed rail.

　　I won’t go anywhere during this vacation. I will just stay at home and type. I’ll start two updates after the placement is settled, probably the day after tomorrow.
