Chapter 76

Zhou Yinzhi is a public school.

There has always been a saying here, which is called "going into the Yamen to scrape the skin". This kind of thing is not uncommon when the officials are clean and bright, and it is common when the court is unstable. The royal guards have already attracted a lot of complaints from the government and the public. This kind of thing is easy to do and can be called "the best one".

The more money, the better the power. After seven days in prison, they were scared out of their wits. Naturally, the family was worried, holding the money up and down, for fear that the adults would not accept it.

It was well done.

No matter whether you are the victim or the criminal, you will be arrested in the name of criminal detention. At that time, the criminal will bribe the officer. Even the victim will have to spend money.

If you don't give money, it's easy.

If you are guilty or innocent, you will be punished.

Today, when she came from the yamen, Zhou Yinzhi thought about what Jiang Xuening wanted to do on the way. When she came to the teahouse, she found out that although she didn't know her relationship with you Fangyin, she held you Yue everywhere. It seemed that every sentence was for you Yue's good, but this "bitter Lord" didn't look like that.

So when he thought about it, he guessed that she was going to cure you Yue.

The royal guards are doing errands outside. He is a new member of a thousand families. He doesn't dare to face Jiang Xuening too blatantly, but his work is not ambiguous: no matter what other people are arrested first, what should be done next? Just listen to Jiang Xuening.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Xuening had such an idea.

The piano is too expensive

That's money.

Zhou Yinzhi nodded his head. He didn't show any surprise, and he didn't mean to say anything. He just said, "I understand."

Yan Lin had given her many things in the past, but it would take some time for them to be sold out. Jiang Xuening certainly had some money in her hand, but when the house of marquis Yongyi was in trouble, she was afraid that she would not be able to spend too much money. Besides, she was determined to get the Ziliujing salt farm. She had to have enough money in her hand to prevent it from happening.

Since you Yue has offended her, it's bad luck for her.

Today, she was acting, but she didn't expect that you Fangyin would spare her life to protect her. She would take up the bench to deal with you Yue. If you give up, let you Yue take her back to her house like this, you have to be beaten.

Jiang Xuening really didn't want to think about the scene.

I dare not.

Therefore, it is better to report to the government first, put people in prison, and let Zhou Yinzhi serve them with delicious food than to go back to the government to suffer torture. Anyway, let's hide this period of time first, and then think about whether there is any way to get rid of it once and for all.

Jiang Xuening gently pinched her eyebrows and said: "you Yue is also the accompaniment of Princess LeYang in the palace. It's time for you to go back to the palace. Don't make too much noise. After all, you haven't been a thousand households for a long time. Even if the case of collusion between Marquis Cha Yongyi's house and Wang Pingnan against the party is a great success, you can't stand the limelight. It's not good to be regarded as a thorn in the eye. "

Zhou Yinzhi's pupil suddenly shrank.

Jiang Xuening didn't say anything. He was just ordinary. He only continued: "I've been in the palace these days. I know something ominous about the Yongyi Marquis's house. Let's talk about it."

The teahouse was empty. As soon as the people of the royal guards took people, they all left empty.

But there was such a big battle just now.

Zhou Yinzhi is careful in his work. He just says it's not convenient to talk here. He wants to invite Jiang Xuening to his humble home.

Originally, Jiang Xuening wanted to meet Ren Weizhi for a while, but she met you Yue again. Today is not a good time to do business. Since you Fangyin has met her, she doesn't have much need to come out again.

So he agreed to come down.

When the tea was put down, she went out of the teahouse with Zhou Yin.

Jiang Xuening's carriage is on the side of the road.

Zhou Yinzhi came on horseback.

But now this white horse is no longer the love horse that had been raised for two years.

Jiang Xuening takes a look and remembers what she heard from Yan Lin not long ago. Zhou Yinzhi killed the horse

In the last life, Zhou Yinzhi married Yao Xi.

Later, he joined hands with Chen Ying to capture Zhang Zha and made him sit in unjust prison for several months. It was not until Xie Wei rebelled that Zhou Yinzhi's head was taken off by Xie Wei and hung high in the palace gate.

She was a little gloomy at the thought.

The driver has put the footstool under the shaft.

Jiang and Xueer, who are going to get on the bus, are going to help each other.

But she did not expect that when she looked up, she swept through the door of a drugstore on the opposite side of the street and ran into a pair of silent and calm eyes -

the green hairpin tied her hair meticulously, and the plain blue robe was very simple, but it seemed to fit him perfectly.

He was also carrying a small medicine bag.

Zhang Zhe stood quietly at the door of the drugstore. He didn't know whether he had just come out or whether he had been standing here for a long time.At this moment, Jiang Xuening's body was stiff, and all her movements stopped. There was a "buzz" in her head, which turned out to be a blank.

But Zhang Zha took back his eyes at the moment.

She took back her eyes and Zhou Yinzhi's eyes around her. After a slight nod, she turned around and walked slowly along the busy street, carrying the medicine he had just grasped.

Lian'er followed her eyes and saw only a thin figure. She didn't know who it was. She was confused: "girl?"

Jiang Xuening raised her hand and pressed her heart hard.

She felt confused.

It's just a common sight. Now Zhang Zhe may not know Zhou Yinzhi, a new member of the royal guards, but she still feels uncomfortable and guilty

Zhou Yinzhi is no doubt not a good stubble.

In the last life, he hated that she was associated with such people, but in this life, she had to use such people before she wanted to go around in this Shura hall.

Zhou Yinzhi saw that she looked different, and secretly speculated about the identity of the person who had just been there.

Jiang Xuening slowly turned to see him.

There was a trance in his eyes, as if he saw something else through him. At last, there was some faint melancholy and loss

Zhou Yinzhi never denied the beauty of the woman in front of him. As early as when he was still in the countryside, he had learned it.

But this is the first time

For the first time, I was moved by her eyes that he could not understand.

He said, "what can I do for you, second girl?"

Jiang Xuening blinked, looked at the tall man in a flying fish suit, and said slowly: "I really hope that you don't do anything too bad in the future; or you can hide it better, don't let me know..."

Zhou Yinzhi looked up at her.

Jiang Xuening has a drooping eyes, speechless to pull the lip, back on the footstool, on the carriage.

*

on the afternoon of early winter, Yao Shangshu mansion, located in the east of the city, has a quiet and elegant courtyard. Although the outer door is closed and the inner corridor is long, there are servant women walking and laughing from time to time.

Yao Xi listened to the people to report, extremely happy to run to his father's study.

Without even having time to wait for someone to pass on, he couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, Zhang Zhe sent someone to send a message, didn't he? What did you write? "

Yao Qingyu is over 50 years old this year. Yao Xi is his youngest daughter and his only daughter. He has always been the apple of his eye. Therefore, there are some irregularities in his daily life, and no one scolds him.

I didn't know when I saw her go in.

But Yao Qingyu sat at the back of the case, looking at the letter that had been opened, but his old face was gradually showing a layer of cloud.

Yao XISU is in favor and wants to know the news about his marriage. When he comes in, he doesn't notice Yao Qingyu's face. Instead, he sees the opened envelope and notices the letter Yao Qingyu is reading.

She immediately approached: "my daughter also wants to have a look!"

The letter was picked up by her.

On the simple plain white letter paper, Yao Xi had read the familiar handwriting many times when she was in the palace. Every stroke was clear and smooth, and she was as strong as the person she saw in the palace that day.

The letter was written to Yao Qingyu, but somehow, when she saw it, she was full of shyness and felt hot on her face.

After a moment of concentration, I looked down.

In the letter, Zhang Zha first asked Yao Qing about Yu'an, and then recounted what happened before and after the two families discussed their marriage. He also said that Yao Xizhen was very good. The more she looked, the more ashamed she was. He couldn't help muttering in his heart that this man looked at the cold letter, but he still knew how to please others. However, as soon as the idea crossed, the next line of words jumped into her eyes, making her face stiff with all her previous joy!

"How could..."

She quickly read these lines twice, but her beautiful face was slightly distorted, and her body trembled. She squeezed the letter tightly and didn't want to believe it.

"Why does he want to leave. Father, why does he want to leave his family? "

Yao Xi's tears whirled in her eyes, only to feel that all her previous shyness and joy turned into a huge slap, which fell on her face and blindfolded her.

Not even face.

She couldn't accept it. She just kept asking Yao Qingyu.

But Yao Qingyu raised his eyes, which had been soaked for several years, and looked at his beloved daughter. He thought of the reason why he had asked his servants to listen.

He just can't believe it.

Now, instead of answering Yao Xi's words, he asked her, "have you forgotten what you said and wanted to do in the palace?"

Yao Xi didn't know, so: "what?"

When Yao Qingyu saw the letter, he pointed to his pent up anger and finally burst out at this moment. When he patted the table, he suddenly got up and asked in a loud voice, "when you wanted Zhang Zha to leave, did you plan with someone in the palace to destroy people's reputation and reputation?"Yao Xi had never seen his father get so angry.

For a moment, she didn't respond and said, "how can dad know..."

When Yao Qingyu heard her sentence, he almost couldn't resist a slap!

But this is his favorite youngest daughter after all.

The other hand was raised high, but it didn't fall down. Instead, it dropped the Paperweight on the desk, and his voice changed: "how can I raise a daughter like you! That cover was originally my painstaking efforts for you. I have a heavy character and a patient temperament. Although I have no reputation now, it will become a great weapon in time! Your lard has a heart to see that he is in a state of depression and wants to leave his family. As a father, he can't bear to let you marry and suffer. Who would have thought that you even planned to do harm to others in order to leave his family! Renzhang Zha is worried about your girl's face. It's not good to tell me the whole story in the letter. He only blames himself for leaving his family. But what you have done is known to everyone! I've lost all my face in Yaofu! "

It's like a bolt from the blue.

Yao Xi was confused.

At this time, she knew why Zhang Zhe was leaving his family. For a moment, her whole heart was gray, and she went back two steps, as if she was a little unsteady. She only murmured, "how can he know, how can he know..."

Yao Qingyu said coldly, "if you want people to know, don't do it unless you do it yourself! Since you can do such a thing, it's not uncommon for others to know it! "

But Yao Xi felt that she had been hurt. She pinched and wrinkled that page of letter paper. She bit her teeth and said: "impossible! It was just a joke in the palace. How could Zhang Zhe know! With such a prominent family member as Yao's, how could he possibly leave his family when he was poor and poor and settled down? There is an old mother in his family. She is so happy when she knows about the marriage that it is impossible for him to leave! Someone must have instigated me. Father, someone must have instigated me to break my marriage... "

Yao Qingyu felt cold when he heard these words.

He looked at her speechless.

Yao Xi's mind suddenly came up with a bright face that made her hate. Tears in her eyes fell down, biting her teeth and repeating: "someone must be secretly provoking..."

*

Zhang Zhe went home with the medicine.

A humble old door deep in the alley doesn't look like an official door when it is opened. It's just a small one. On the clean bluestone board, there is a bamboo shelf for drying clothes, and his official clothes are hanging on it.

The sound of tables and chairs moving came from the East Hall.

It's someone sweeping.

The elderly woman, dressed in coarse cloth and with an apron tied around her waist, was putting the tables and chairs in order, and then wiping them clean with a rag.

When Zhang Zha went in, she was putting the dishcloth into the basin filled with water to wash.

Jiang Chao looked up and said, "what would he like to eat in the evening? My mother made it for you. "

when her husband died early, Chiang was widowed at a young age and brought up her son by herself. The wind and frost of the years left a particularly cruel mark on her. One after another, the corner of her eyes and eyebrows were engraved, which was quite different from those wives whose sons were promising in Beijing.

At that time, her family was destitute, and it took her a lot of energy to ask her husband in the school to accept a cover.

But other expenses in the school are also high.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, everything costs money.

Jiang saved money to buy it for him. He only wanted him to gain fame and fame, and one day to clear his father's grievances.

If she is clever, she must know that he is the best one to read.

But who would have thought that he did not read for a few years, but he went to attend the official examination of Yamen that year without telling her. When he came back, he told her that he did not study or take the examination.

She beat him with a cane.

While beating, he cried and scolded: "think about how unjust your father died. What did he teach you in those years! It doesn't work, it doesn't work! What can an official be? It's urgent for the government to use it. If you don't use it, you will be abolished! I've been doing things for others all my life. You really want to piss me off

Zhang Zha didn't hide at that time, so he knelt down in front of his father's spirit and let her beat and scold him.

It was bloody on the back.

When he got to the back, Chiang threw away all the vines and sat in the hall crying. He only hated that he was incompetent and that a woman had no ability to make money. How could she not know that her son had gone to take the official examination instead of studying because he knew that there was no money in his family and did not want to suffer like her?

But the more she knew, the worse she felt.

Since Zhang Zha took office in the yamen, he received the salary from the imperial court. Although his family was still poor, it was gradually better than the original shortage.

What Chiang did not expect was that after less than half a year, Gu Chunfang, the censor of Henan Dao, visited the yamen, and Zhang Zha sued him. Finally, he let the Yamen review his father's old case. After more than ten years, Gu Chunfang finally won the favor of Zhang Zha. After more than two years, Zhang Zha was recommended to the imperial court and served as a criminal officer. He broke the rules and became a "Beijing official".

This small courtyard was set up by their mother and son when they first arrived in the capital.It used to be very shabby.

But Chiang was diligent in cleaning up. Although he was still poor and could not add much furniture, he seemed to be popular and had a home.

Zhang Zha put the medicine on the table, frowned and didn't speak. He took down the rag in Jiang's hand, put it in the wooden basin, and put it aside. Then he said, "it's been wiped once yesterday, and there's no dust at home. You're not in good health. Don't work any more."

He said it with a cold face.

Looking at it, Chiang shook his head and said, "your face is always so smelly, and you're hard at work. You don't know how to hurt people. How can you marry a daughter-in-law in the future?"

Zhang Zha sat down and did not speak.

But Chiang began to nag: "but it's better that Yao's marriage has retired. Originally, we were really high-ranking, but there's no need to use such a low-key mind to harm others. And you can't pour water into it, you can't put needles into it, you can't eat oil and salt. You look like your father. How many ladies can bear to marry you

Zhang Zha lowered his head to remove the medicine and didn't answer.

Looking at his silence, Chiang said: "in the future, my mother will help you to watch more. If there is a good girl in the door who knows how to take care of people, it's better to be gentle and virtuous. I can bear you in my heart. Otherwise, when I go down to see your father, I'll be worried about it. "

“……”

The thread of the medicine bag had been untied. The mixed herbs were scattered on the paper, and the bitter taste also spread. Zhang's finger, which covered the bones clearly, pressed on the corner of the paper and did not move.

After a long time, he pressed them down, and his eyes, which were full of joy, were fixed on him. Fang looked up at Jiang and said slowly, "don't talk nonsense."
