Idle courtiers

Chapter 132 Forgiveness

It's night, Hao Miaozhu's home.

Hao Wangshi had just put the child to sleep when her husband Hao Miaozhu entered the room excitedly, threw a cloth bag the size of a walnut on the table, and said triumphantly, "My lady, take a look at what this is."

Mrs. Wang picked up the small bag, which was quite heavy in her hands, and she knew it in her heart, so she hurriedly hid it in her sleeve.He snorted: "It's just some sesame oil money, have you eaten yet?"

After listening to Hao Miaozhu, he cooked two small dishes and warmed a pot of rice wine before eating.

Hao Miaozhu was in high spirits: "I want my lady to know that it was not convenient to set up an incense hall in this house when my female apprentice came to make troubles, so I went to Wutou Town and built a dojo for him. The family is generous. , I gave five taels. This living person is not suffocated to death by urine. This Huai’an is more sincere than our people in Zhejiang. After a month, you can always see a dozen or so incense sticks. It’s not bad to live here. Look at your man, it's not bad for you to marry me, right?"

He asked again: "Miss, did you get an answer when I asked Mr. Zhou today? We don't know anyone on the scene in Huai'an City. It would be a good thing if we can climb up to him by thanking Governor Zhou for this opportunity."

It's okay if the husband doesn't say anything, but when she said it, Wang thought of what happened during the day, and felt furious in her heart: "Damn it, the green-haired turtle. Mr. Zhou was a lustful person that time. You are pushing my old lady into the fire pit!"

"what happened?"

The more Wang thought about it, the angrier she became, and she was quick to speak, but she didn't think so much, and said angrily: "The Governor Zhou was not serious. When he saw a woman, his eyes turned green, and he stared at her neckline."

Hao Miaozhu: "My wife is born beautiful, people like to look at her more, and she is a lot of meat after being looked at by others."

Hao Miaozhu was born with a short stature, and his appearance is not even close to the word handsome.Only she is articulate and able to read other people's minds. In the past, she lived a happy life in her hometown, so she married the beautiful Wang family.He is also proud of having a wife like this.

Others have seen too much of their own wives' appearance, and they have become numb.

Mrs. Wang: "When Master Zhou saw the slave's house, he closed the doors and windows and returned the official."

Now Hao Miaozhu paid attention: "What, you still close the door, what the hell are you doing, you bastards. When Mr. Zhou came to our house that day, you peeked through the crack of the door and said that Governor Zhou He was born tall and mighty, with a dignified appearance. I think you, a whore, have taken a liking to her, and I, I want to..."

It's okay for my wife to be looked at and praised for being a great beauty, but if she makes a principled mistake, it's unforgivable.

He raised his hand angrily: "I work hard all day for this family, that's how you treat me? Lao Tzu, I want to..."

Probably because she was favored by her husband on weekdays, Wang's evil fire also raised her head, and stretched her head over: "Do you want to hit me, hit me, hit me! How did I treat you? I'll give you a cuckold. You beat me to death! You green-haired turtle, you are still fierce to me. What happened to you and that female apprentice named Zhuo? Love, you just like that one. The surname is Hao, you have to explain this matter to me today, otherwise we will never end. "

Hearing his wife slapped a target, Hao Miaozhu panicked immediately, and said repeatedly: "My lady, I am wronged, I am wronged! Then how can I like my wife who was born so ugly? It is because she is generous and gives sesame oil money. Sometimes I didn't even frown, so I just talked to her a few more words. If it wasn't for the sake of money, I wouldn't be bothered to pay attention. Besides, I have a charming and beautiful wife at home, so how could I still mess around outside? I'm not like that people."

"It's hard to say. You can't hide from me what you say to outsiders. That day, the old Wang next door praised me in front of you, saying that I was beautiful. You replied that it was just like that after a long time, and I didn't think it was beautiful. You don’t know the beauty of your wife, Hao Miaozhu!” Wang sneered, “You’ve been out all day today, maybe you went to wish your wife somewhere.”

Hao Miaozhu said how could I go to Zhu Niang's place, you are suspicious, and swore for a long time.

Mrs. Wang: "It's useless for you to swear, my wife needs to check." She stretched out her hand to untie her husband's belt.

Hao Miaozhu: "I also have doubts about what you did to Mr. Zhou's place. It needs to be checked by a good doctor."

A moment of pleasure, indescribable.

Finally, the husband and wife reached an understanding.

Hao Miaozhu: "As far as today's situation is concerned, from my husband's point of view, Mr. Zhou's tone is actually a little loose. If you ask again, the matter of landing in Huai'an may not be impossible."

"You old tortoise, I don't want to go to the yamen again."

"Naturally." Hao Miaozhu didn't want his forgiving look to be poked on the back of the world, and said: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with 50 taels of silver. If there is, then give another 50 taels. Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. I don't believe Master Zhou doesn't love money."

He made a lot of money, and he accumulated more than a hundred taels of silver in just over a year from Zhejiang to Huai'an.It doesn't matter if I give it to Zhou Nan this time, as long as I have an official identity, the big deal is that I will make money later.

On the second day, Hao Miaozhu had another deal.Early in the morning, I invited the statue of Empress Nuwa to the customer's house, set up the incense hall, and performed rituals.

This family doesn't have much money, and it only costs two renminbi after one ceremony, but they manage two meals, and they still eat well.

When toasting, the host asked: "Old God, I heard that your accent is a refugee, but I heard that there is a temple among you Zhejiang people. I heard that in order to settle down in Huai'an, we sent all our wives out. Do you know this? What is the name of the person?"

Hao Miaozhu was taken aback. It's only been two days, and the whole city knows how his wife went to Mr. Zhou's place.

He smiled awkwardly: "I haven't heard of it, I don't know."

Touching his sweaty forehead, the Sifang Ping Ding forgiveness scarf on his head became more colorful.

……

On the second day, Zhou Nan went to the Yamen. After today, I will have four days off.

Today is a very important day for him, as it involves the division of labor between the four governors of the Criminal Justice Department.

The Judiciary Office is in charge of prisons and is responsible for the arrest, interrogation and sentencing of criminals throughout the prefecture.

The push officer takes charge of the overall situation, and the following four governors are responsible for the investigation, punishment, prison and governor respectively.

Detective, in simple terms, is to detect and capture criminals, and to escort criminals, it is the action department.

Punishment is to review the sentencing of criminals who have been captured or transferred from the local area, and convicted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

Prison manager is to manage the prison in the prefecture, work together with the prison manager, and bear the responsibility of guidance and supervision.

The governor is the chief secretary of the official, in charge of the confidentiality of the documents.

Among them, detectives, prison managers, and governors were already employed, and only the position of Punishment was vacant, and it was only a first-class job in the entire Justice and Criminal Office, so Zhou Nan naturally did his part.

In his view, although detective work is an outside job with a lot of free time, it is just a drudgery of running errands.

To be a jailer is to take care of the prisoners, although they can get some benefits from the prisoners.But these days, rich people have already taken care of it before they go to prison, and those who can be thrown into prison are bitter haha, stones can't squeeze out oil and water.

Punishment, when convicting a prisoner, the crime is serious and the crime is minor, it all depends on the pen of the Punishment Officer, as long as it conforms to the terms of the Great Ming Law, and the money is enough, you can pull you back even if you step into the Hades shop.

Of course, Zhou Nan will not take back the money in human blood.If there is a commercial dispute among the people, it doesn't matter if you have some defendants or some plaintiffs.

He excitedly walked to the door of Officer Xiong Tui's office, and heard Governor Huang's flattering voice from inside: "Li Xing, my subordinate has been with you for three years, and has been in official business for a long time. This time, there is a vacancy in the careful punishment, and the humble officer is willing to take up the post." .”

When Zhou Nan heard it, hey, it turns out that Governor Huang is still eyeing my position.

The bird man saw me yelling affectionately two days ago, but he did this to me behind his back.

It's really a fire in the face and a knife in the back!
