Chapter 247 Bookworm
There was a lot of yelling and cursing outside, Yang Dacheng was holding a shovel and confronting the intruders in the courtyard, while the hostess in the room was holding the child nervously, looking out in fear, her face pale.
The child in the hostess' arms struggled out, and wanted to take the broom in the house to help his father outside, but the hostess caught it on her lap, slapped her, and hugged her tightly, lest the child I ran out and was bullied.
"Stay in the house honestly, I'll go out and have a look." Zhu Pingan put down the bowl and chopsticks, touched the bear's head to comfort him, then got up and walked out, helping the family out of reason.
"Little brother, don't go out, be careful that they implicate you, these people are unreasonable." Seeing that Zhu Ping'an is going out, the hostess couldn't help persuading, and couldn't bear to see Zhu Ping'an being implicated for no reason.
"It's okay, if you don't reason, you have to talk about the king's law..."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, then walked out of the room.
"Hey" the hostess looked at Zhu Ping'an's figure and yelled. She felt that Zhu Ping'an was just a scholar who didn't know the world. He didn't know the dangers of the world and was worried.
The brat in the arms of the hostess stretched out his head to see Zhu Ping'an going out, and wanted to go out with him, but was held down firmly by the hostess, unable to move.
Zhu Pingan went out of the house, and saw Yang Dacheng confronting five idle guards in the yard. Behind the guards was a middle-aged man with a mustache in a satin robe. A folding fan, it seems that he intends to highlight his unusual status, and he is not afraid of freezing to death.
"Hey, where is this guy from?" An officer saw Zhu Pingan coming out of the house, and tilted his head to look at Zhu Pingan.
Several other guards also looked at Zhu Pingan in a dazed manner. There is a faint tendency to encircle.
"This is just a student passing by, don't make things difficult for him." Yang Dacheng leaned on a shovel and said to several guards, and then turned to Zhu Pingan and said, "Little brother, hurry up after eating."
Seeing that Yang Dacheng cared so much about Zhu Ping'an. As if deliberately protecting them, these guards didn't believe Yang Dacheng's words.
"Tsk tsk, lame Yang is quite righteous. This is your relative, I haven't seen it before, oh, I remembered. It seems that your wife has a younger brother who is also studying, hahaha, I heard reading After studying for ten years, your brother-in-law didn’t even pass the first Guanxian test, hahaha. This is it.”
A guard seemed to have thought of something, he leaned forward and backward with a smile, and looked at Zhu Pingan with special disdain.
Think about it, after studying for ten years, I didn’t even pass the first pass of the Tongsheng Examination. Not to mention the more difficult government and hospital exams. This is not the material to read at all! This kind of scholar is truly useless, how can he not be despised.
"Haha, let me tell you. Stop reading, it's not that material at all." Another guard shook his head and mocked.
"But it's not hopeless. Have you seen our Huang Zandian? Our Huang Zandian is a master of talent, and we are also a popular person next to our magistrate. If you worship our Huang Zandian as your teacher, you can get our Huang Zandian Advice. If you continue to make connections, you still have great hope." At the beginning, the guard said persuasively.
"Of course. We, Huang Zandian, are busy with business, and not everyone can give advice and help. However, if you and our Huang Zandian become relatives, it will be different. Hehehe, if Huang Zandian is your brother-in-law If so, isn’t it natural for a brother-in-law to teach a brother-in-law.”
The talking guard winked at Zhu Pingan, making people have the urge to kick him in the face.
"What nonsense are you talking about, this little brother is just a passing student." Yang Dacheng's face turned blue with anger.
"Tsk tsk, Cripple Yang is still as stubborn as before." The guards laughed disdainfully, they didn't believe Yang Dacheng's words at all, and firmly believed that Zhu Ping'an was Yang Dacheng's brother-in-law.
"What are you going to do? How can you talk like this, it's really insulting."
Zhu Ping'an stood next to Yang Dacheng, pointing at a few guards, blushing, full of nerds.
Zhu Ping'an's words, and his nerdy appearance, immediately made several guards look at each other and smile, and he was insulting, this kid is completely a nerd who is stupid in reading, he is just a waste of waste.
"Occupy the land for the people, then it will be entrusted to the emperor, and it will be controlled."
"Taizu once said that those who serve the people should know their part, and those who pay the land tax to serve the superior should be their part."
Huang Cuan opened his folding fan and fanned it twice, not too cold, and opened his mouth in an official style of classical Chinese, exaggerating and emphasizing the appearance of being business-like and not favoritism.
"We are also on business. These are the rules established by our court when the country was founded. We also came here strictly according to the yellow book. This year, it is Yang Dacheng's turn to serve in corvee. The Great Wall in the north needs to be repaired. It is our county's turn. Come on. So, Yang Dacheng, you should pack up your things quickly and go north to the Great Wall. If you miss the deadline, it will be a serious crime. If you are light, you will be served in a prison, and if it is serious, you will be beheaded."
Huang Cuan clicked a folding fan, stretched out his right hand to touch his mustache, and looked at Yang Dacheng and said righteously.
Seeing Huang Zandian so skillfully bullying others, using power for personal gain, playing routines so smoothly, I am so blushing and breathless. Zhu Ping'an knew that this person did this kind of thing not once or twice, nor for a year or two. This kind of method and routine can't be done in three or five years.
Alas, the county magistrates are not as good as the current ones. The more these grassroots officials with little power, the more harmful they will be if they neglect their duties and abuse their powers, because their direct targets are the poor and ordinary people!
The corvee system needs to be changed! The official system must also be moved! They cannot be allowed to abuse power so recklessly!
Zhu Pingan watched this scene, and silently made a note in his heart.
"It's ridiculous. I only served the corvee service of digging rivers and clearing silts in the beginning of spring. Why do you want me to serve on the Great Wall in winter? You are simply using your power for personal gain, and you are deceiving people too much! The spring service is because you framed me and hurt my leg on purpose! Now If you want me to serve on the Great Wall, is there any law for the king!" Yang Dacheng glared at Huang Zandian angrily, wishing he could go up and bite Huang Zandian into pieces, isn't this scum just targeting his own wife, this kind of scum , If I give in, I will be in vain!
"Wang Fa?"
Huang Cuandian touched his mustache, and let out a disdainful smile, "I'm talking about Wang Fa, hehe, you, Yang Dacheng, who went north to the Great Wall to serve in corvee, are Wang Fa!"
What I'm talking about is Wang Fa!
The classics and history of the county government are not well-known, and his accumulation is not even considered hairy, but this yellow accumulation point dares to say that I am Wang Fa and keep silent, I am talking about Wang Fa, without any scruples, it is really high The emperor is far from the **** to be the king!
"Taizu promulgated a policy of preferential exemption from corvee. The nobles, sages, capable people, those who serve in public affairs, the old, and the sick are all given up, and they are included in the book at the age of age. Brother Yang has a disabled leg, which belongs to corvee labor. The scope of preferential treatment."
Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his lips after hearing Huang Cuandian's words, and spoke.
After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the courtyard was quiet for a few seconds, and several guards looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
"This kid is really stupid in reading!"
"It's not a big deal, I really think that knowing a few words can guide the world."
"Ha ha ha silly hang"
Huang Cuan also disdainfully touched the horoscope and laughed nonsense. He folded the fan, slapped it twice, and said righteously: "The sick can be given up, but what disease can be given up, and how sick can be given up. It’s all up to our family to decide. Now that the Tatars are invading the border, it’s time to employ people, Yang Dacheng has a small leg ailment, so he should put the state affairs first, and go north quickly to repair the Great Wall for the country.”
"Did you hear that, our Huang Cuan Dian is a master scholar, not a scholar like you who doesn't have half a bottle of water can compare."
"Hehehe, that's right, this is what it is, it's ridiculous to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong."
After Huang Zandian finished speaking, the guards laughed at Zhu Pingan unscrupulously. In their eyes, Zhu Pingan was Yang Dacheng's useless wife and brother who couldn't pass the exam as a scholar, and they didn't take Zhu Pingan seriously at all.
