Idle courtiers

Chapter 146 The world is so small
From the sentence that the soldier came to say just now, "Master Zheng, I'm looking for someone", we can know that the arrested man obviously knew Zheng Shuban.

"Then why did he keep it from me?" Zhou Nan has a natural talent and is very careful.

After discovering what was wrong, Zhou Nan deliberately said: "Idle is idle, my lord has nothing to do tonight, so I will interrogate that prisoner."

Zheng Shuban's expression changed: "Master Zhou, why don't you bother with a little matter, you don't need to pay attention to it, just lock it up for one night first!"

The more he said that, the more curious Zhou Nan became, and shook his head: "No, no, as the governor of the Criminal Justice Department, I naturally have to be diligent in government affairs, and I can ignore whatever happens."

Seeing that Zhou Nan insisted on interrogating the prisoner, Zheng Shuban gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Governor Zhou, I really can't tell you about this matter, so I advise you not to ask. The one-acre land of the humble official does not belong to you. Anyway, please go to rest early, don't make trouble for everyone."

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he said it, Zhou Nan felt an evil fire in his heart.This bird man dared to be rude to this official, I don't know where he got the courage.

Zhou Nan: "What a bastard, what is your identity, there is room for you to talk here, and I don't bother with you, the cell is there, lead the way, I'm going to interrogate."

"How dare you!" Zheng Shuban yelled, grabbing Zhou Nan's sleeve.

Zhou Nan didn't talk nonsense, and slapped him across the face.

How strong he was, Zheng Shuban was suddenly stunned and sat down on the ground.When he woke up, he realized that his face was covered with nosebleeds.And Zhou Nan had already left the door, he was terrified in his heart, hissed and shouted to his subordinates: "Quick, quick, stop him!"

But the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, how dare they stop them.In the ancient yamen with strict hierarchy, the first rank of officials crushed people to death.

Zhou Nan entered the class room of the Judiciary in Qingjiangpu, but saw a young scholar in his early thirties sitting in the corner, dressed in a skirt, he was actually a famous scholar.

Seeing Zhou Nan coming in in an official uniform, the man shouted tremblingly, "I didn't kill the man, I didn't kill the man, this was an accident... Let me out, let me out... Help, help!"

Hearing this, Zhou Nan felt a cold air rise from the back of his neck and rushed straight to his forehead. Jier was overjoyed: Here comes the achievements!

Zheng Shuban stopped him from meeting the prisoner just now, and it turned out that a murder case was involved!Judging by his attitude, it may be involved if he is not good.When the bird hair book office met me earlier, it was calm and composed, and its psychological quality is really good.

Zhou Nan has been squeezed out in the government office. If there is no accident, he will definitely fail in the year-end examination at the end of this year.After two or three years like this, if he fails the annual assessment, he is afraid that he will be dismissed from office.

If this life lawsuit is resolved today, and Odd Zhuo's assessment is properly handed over, he will really fall asleep and meet his pillow.

Zhou Nan yelled sharply: "The matter of you, a scholar, has happened, and you still haven't taken it seriously. We will never wrong a good person, and we will never let a bad person go. We will definitely give you justice, say it!"

The scholar was obviously overly frightened, he was confused, and he just said over and over again: "I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people, wronged, wronged!"

Zhou Nan frowned. The scholar obviously had a nervous breakdown, and he couldn't find anything if he continued to ask, so he had to be stimulated.

He was about to take a basin of cold water from the classroom and pour it on him to cool down the overheated CPU in the scholar's head.

Suddenly, Zhou Nan held up a candle and shone on the scholar's face, and couldn't help calling out, "Xun Xiucai!"

That's right, this man is Mrs. Ding's son, Xun Fangyu's half-brother Xun Xiucai.

Speaking of the Xun family, Zhou Nan was furious.He was put together by Ding Qiguang that day, holding Xun Juren's letter in his hand. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was forced by the Xun family to plant an ugly girl as a concubine, and he raised Miss Sixth Xun for nothing.That's all, the problem is that as a relative of Ding Qiguang, he has been squeezed out in the government office, his official career has no bright future, and his future has been ruined.

Now Xun Xiucai can be regarded as falling into my hands, and it involves a major case of human life. If I don't use it to make a good article, I, Zhou Nan, will be in vain all my life.

At that moment, Zhou Nan hurriedly hugged Xun Xiucai, shook him vigorously, and comforted him loudly: "My lord, it's all right, it's all right. Look who I am, I'm your brother-in-law Zhou Nan! I can't write a single word." Parents, no matter what happens, don't worry, my brother-in-law will help you settle it."

"Zhou...Zimu...Are you Zhou Zimu, Zhou Nan, the governor of the Criminal Justice Department?" Seeing Zhou Nan, Xun Xiucai's eyes regained the brilliance, and he said with a smirk, "You can really help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Die!"

Zhou Nan: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I I I..."

Zhou Nan said: "My lord, we are a family. I have a close friendship with Dingzhi County, how can I still harm you. If you don't tell me, I can only hand you over to the Tuiguan."

"No, let me go." Xun Xiucai grabbed Zhou Nan's hand with great strength.Probably because today's matter is too big, he is terrified and confused.When I saw Zhou Nan, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. I couldn't help crying and shook my head: "It's all an accident. It really has nothing to do with me. This is how it happened..."

The thing is like this, the current Emperor Jiajing is building palaces and temples in the capital and engaging in feudal superstition activities.Building Taoist temples requires a large amount of high-quality wood to make beams and columns.Bozhou, that is, later Zunyi City, produces high-quality wood.

Therefore, every year, Bozhou sent people to put the wood along the Chishui River all the way to the Yangtze River, and then went down the river and went north to the capital via the Grand Canal.

It was an officer surnamed Yang who handled and presented the beautiful wood. He was the father of the barbarian woman who Zhou Nan and Wang Er met in the street that afternoon wearing shiny precious metals all over her body.

Every time he went to Beijing, the officer surnamed Yang would bring his daughter along.Huai'an is a water transportation hub, and when we get here, we have completed two-thirds of the journey.Bozhou sergeants will rest in Huai'an for a few days.

After coming and going, Miss Yang became acquainted with the children of local officials and gentry.The customs of the barbarian people are quite strange, and they don't have the same set of morality and chastity as the Han people.Unmarried women are free to choose a spouse. Once they fall in love with someone, they will stand on the top of the mountain and sing: "Brother, you are separated by a mountain, and my sister misses you so much that I can't sleep."

If the man on the other side of the mountain sees that the woman looks right, he will sing: "The flowers are so red, the flowers are blooming, and the good words grow among the thorns. When I see Yanshanhong across the river, eh, 72 flowers make a canopy, I want to Which one to pick, uh, it's all Yanshanhong..."

Then, everyone can roll the sheets together.

What if the man doesn't like you, don't despair, just bring someone to your door, grab that handsome young man and send him to the bridal chamber.

This is the system of snatching marriages and walking marriages that later generations are fond of talking about, opening up a new trend of free love for a generation.

When Yang Che passed through Huai'an in previous years, he didn't know the customs of the Han region, and he also did things like robbing small fresh meat. There was a scandal, which made the magistrate laugh bitterly. Finally, after explaining for a long time, Miss Yang released him, saying: " Anyway, I have already played it, and this lady is tired of it, so you guys can take it back!"

The eldest lady has a great reputation, and every year when people from Bozhou pass through Huai'an, there are only white-haired old people who are not afraid of being scalded by dead pigs and greasy middle-aged people on the street, who want to have an affair with porcelain.

This year Song Xiaoyameni, the son of Song Kongdang, the prefect of Huai'an, somehow heard about Ms. Yang's fame, and knew that she had extraordinary skills and unlocked many extremely difficult knowledge, so he invited Xun Xiucai to visit the "beautiful woman."

It turned out that after Song Kong became an official, he took concubines and gave birth to four sons. The first three children had grown up and stayed in their hometown in Henan to serve their mother.Only the fourth son is 14 years old and has not completed his studies.

Song Kongdang considered that the teachers in the south were very strong, so he took his son over and invited a famous scholar from Suzhou to train him carefully.

After all, it is from the lineage of Shilin, and the famous scholars in Fucheng also have contacts with small yamen.Among them, Xun Xiucai had a very good relationship with him.Xun Xiucai's mother's family and Xiaoya Nei are both from Guide, Henan, and they are half of the same hometown.Although Ding Zhixian and Song Zhifu have turned against each other, they are friends, and the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with the next generation.

They often drink flowers and wine together, and they are considered super bad friends.

The two scholars came to visit, and they looked good, especially the small yamen was decorated with pink and jade, and Yang Che was very tempted.

The three of them chatted, and for some reason, they talked about offering good materials to the emperor. Xiao Ya was curious and wanted to go and have a look, after all, Henan is a typical agricultural area.Thousands of miles across the Yellow River and Huaihe Plains, there is nothing but wheat, and the wood embraced by the three people is not common.

Probably because of drinking, the three of them were impulsive, and their love became deeper and deeper without knowing where it started.Just sitting on the sky and the ground among the wood on the water, real phoenixes and real phoenixes, false phoenixes and false phoenixes, became a good thing.

"Silk...in the wild..." Zhou Nan took a breath and sighed: People in the city really know how to play.

Unexpectedly, Miss Yang is so bold and unrestrained, so interesting.It's really only the wrong nickname, not the wrong name.Female classmate Yang Che lives up to her name, this car drives wildly.

No, that Yang Che was so ugly.Although it is a technical flow route, normal people can't say anything!

Zhou Nan recalled what Xun Juren said just now that the small yamen was born in a beautiful fashion, and seemed to understand something.One sentence: "Brother, 'Why is the chrysanthemum so bitter, suffering from the Double Ninth Festival,' how can I explain this poem?" Almost blurted out.

He sighed in his heart, thinking that I, Zhou Nan, can be regarded as a pure and refreshing young man in modern society. How come when I travel to the Ming Dynasty, all I deal with are romantic cases?
This Ming Dynasty person is too unscrupulous.

That's right, the Ming Dynasty has developed into this Jiajing year, which belongs to the most prosperous era, thinking about that... It's really broken.

At this time, suddenly a tide came.It was also their bad luck that the ropes binding the wood suddenly broke.

The huge logs collided with each other, and Miss Yangche happened to be caught in it.Under the heavy pressure of a thousand jun, it turns into a meat paste, and the fragrance disappears.

Seeing the dead man, Xiao Ya Nei and Xun Xiucai were frightened out of their wits, put on their clothes, went their separate ways, and fled.

Xun Xiucai was stunned to see that he had been in such a big trouble. After wandering around Qingjiangpu for a long time, he finally fell into the hands of the soldiers of the criminal justice department who were handling the case.
