Chapter 177 The slave family has difficulties
Kong Renyu made a statement and sued the county magistrate for his crime. Finally, he pretended to be generous and said: "As the saying goes, no one will make enemies when they die. The county magistrate is not a traitor and evil person, so there is no need to pursue it!"
After he finished speaking, he found that Ye Hua's face was gloomy and his malicious smile was said, "Master Kong, since you are a descendant of a saint, you naturally know Shao Zhengmao, right?"
Kong Renyu nodded quickly, how could he not know the great achievements of his ancestors!
Shaozhengmao was a doctor in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was at least righteous and eloquent. He was a famous figure at that time and was called "Wenren".
Shao Zhengmao and Confucius both opened private schools and recruited students. Shao Zhengmao attracted Confucius' students to listen to the lecture many times. Confucius' mouth was dry and no one listened to him. The old Master's fortune was cut off and his livelihood was gone. How could he not be angry?
Finally, Confucius waited for the opportunity to take revenge. In the 14th year of Duke Ding of Lu, Confucius served as the Grand Secretary of the State of Lu and acted as the prime minister. After taking office, he killed Shao Zhengmao under the Dongguan of Liangguan with the "punishment of a gentleman" 7 days after taking office. He also exposed his body for 3 days. It was cruel enough!
Later, Confucius' students asked him why he killed Shao Zhengmao.
Confucius said that Shao Zhengmao is "a clear mind and dangerous mind, a clear mind and firm mind, a false speech and a qualitative attitude, a ugliness and broad mind, and a compliant mistake and abide by mistakes."
Having five bad qualities and having the ability to deceive the public and rebel, such dangerous people will not be able to calm people's anger without killing them, and not killing them will not be able to correct people's hearts!
"Shao Zhengmao's evil behavior is revealed. He was killed by Confucius just because of his sinister thoughts and eloquent words. The county magistrate was greedy and harmed the people. Even if he died, he would not be exempted from his sins. Kong Zhuanzhu, you cannot just be a bad person and forget the lessons of the saints. You should write to the court and ask for severe punishment and repay the people of Qufu for justice. Others dare not say it, what else do you dare not say! Who in this world dares to be rude to the saints?"
Ye Hua has used a lot of Confucius' words and deeds these days, and the results are quite good. He has summarized his experience, which is to use his spear to attack his shield and use Confucianism to govern Confucianism.
Anyway, Confucius said so much, he only needed to choose a part of it. Ye Hua was becoming more and more skillful. Wang Pu could not resist it, let alone Kong Renyu.
He had no choice but to lead the way. On the way, Kong Renyu's heart was in a state of turmoil and he was in peace. A while ago, Guo Wei issued an order to pay homage to the Master.
Later, it was suddenly cancelled and two imperial envoys were sent over.
What are they going to do?
Is it a sacrifice to the Master or another purpose?
I hurried to see the county magistrate's family, was it intentional or unintentional?
Kong Renyu couldn't figure it out and couldn't ask too much, so that Ye Hua and Wang Pu could see the flaws. He could only bear it and took Ye Hua to the county magistrate's residence.
Usually, the county magistrate must live in the backyard of the yamen.
The county magistrate from Qufu actually lived outside.
The three-entry yard is neat and clean, and the furnishings inside are magnificent, which is very expensive at first glance. In the flower hall, there is a coffin.
Since the county magistrate died suddenly, the new officer who succeeded did not come and his tribe members did not come, so they could not be buried and could only be kept at home temporarily. Fortunately, the weather was cool, otherwise the flower hall would not be able to stay.
When the imperial envoy arrived, there was a woman in her early twenties, with a clear face, a cloth dress, and a filial piety dress, which was a blessing to the imperial envoy.
"The unknown is to meet the two imperial envoys."
Ye Hua looked at the woman and said lightly: "Who are you from County Magistrate Xu?"
The woman paused, "I bought it from County Magistrate Xu... Concubine!"
"Born?" Ye Hua asked, "Where did you buy it? What did you do before?"
"I returned to the imperial envoy, the vassal was from Jiangnan. In his early years, he learned to play and sing. County Magistrate Xu liked to listen to the vassal singing songs, so he left the vassal with him."
The woman's eyes were red, "No matter what others say, Lord Xu has great kindness to me, I should have accompanied him for the last time. After he is buried, the vassal will leave..."
The woman said pitiful, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She was so sad that she could hear the listener crying.
Kong Renyu sighed: "I am afraid that the county priest can have a confidante in this life." As he said, he secretly looked at Ye Hua, thinking that everyone is dead, so why are you looking at? Could it be that he has fallen in love with this woman?
This champion Hou is not very old and is very favored. If he really had the will, not to mention a woman, even ten or eight out of them would be fine. But now he has not found Ye Hua's pulse and it is difficult to take action casually.
Sure enough, Kong Renyu did not guess Ye Hua’s next step!
After hearing this, Ye Hua was furious.
"What a good county magistrate Xu! He actually took a prostitute as his wife and corrupted the official etiquette. It's so outrageous!" Ye Hua said angrily: "Gonggong Wang, even if such a person dies, the court cannot ignore him, right? He has only been a county magistrate for a few years. Where can he afford such a big house? Where can he afford a singer? Where does the money come from? Is it a people's wealth? If you don't find out clearly, how can you explain to the people of Qufu?"
Ye Hua hugged his shoulders and said angrily: "Mr. Wang, if you don't have an attitude, I have to ask Your Majesty to surrender!"
Wang Pu glared at Ye Hua in disgust, "You are just troublesome!"
"Let me do this, I will arrange for the new county magistrate to conduct a thorough investigation, how about it?"
"No!" Ye Hua was still stubborn.
"You officials protect each other, who knows if you can investigate?" Ye Hua directly called his subordinates and sealed the house. County Magistrate Xu's family, including the woman, were all taken to the military camp.
Wang Pu stomped his feet in anger, "It's so rude, really rude!"
Seeing that Wang Pu's face turned pale, Kong Renyu couldn't help but say, "Good King Wang, if the champion Hou is doing this, do you have no attitude?"
Wang Pu was filled with anger and almost burst out, but he held back and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"He is the royal relative, and he has made such a great contribution. The emperor trusts me. I can't do anything about it... But he is a young man. Once he became an imperial envoy, he wanted to find out a few corrupt officials and ask for his life for the people, so that he can go back and brag... Let him do it first, anyway, real gold is not afraid of fire, I will take action if necessary."
Wang Pu left in anger, and Kong Renyu was also stunned.
What is this routine?
Does Ye Hua really want to play or have another idea?
Is Wang Pu reliable?
Kong Renyu had no countermeasures no matter how he thought, so he could only go back and discuss with the Zhang family. He had to come up with a countermeasure!
...
Ye Hua took the servants and servants of County Magistrate Xu to the military camp and settled down. The outside was guarded by his men and horses, and even a fly could not enter.
Another day passed, Ye Hua asked someone to bring the woman.
The woman was more haggard than yesterday. After she was blessed, she stood with her hands down.
"The unknown offended the imperial envoy somewhere and took me to the military camp? Could it be, could it be..." She thrust and started crying.
Ye Hua smiled faintly, "You are thinking too much. I am a marquis and I will not fall in love with a female liar!"
fraud!
This woman changed color immediately!
"Why did you say this? Why is the little woman a liar?"
"You lied to the Magistrate Xu!" Ye Hua took out a piece of work, which was actually the manuscript of Magistrate Xu. It turned out that in the past day, Ye Hua had read all the information, especially Magistrate Xu's study room, and he did not let it go.
Below the pile of books, Ye Hua found a thick stack of manuscripts.
One of the letters was written by a friend of the county magistrate Xu. He mentioned that his wife had passed away nearly three years ago. He accidentally met the daughter of a businessman in Jiangnan. He was extremely talented and wanted to marry him. The two liked music and harmony between the zither and the zither was a perfect match!
County Magistrate Xu found a soulmate and was filled with joy.
Ye Hua discovered two problems. One is the county magistrate likes music. The other is that this woman is the daughter of a businessman. Although she is not noble, she is not so despicable.
"Why did you demote yourself and say it was a brothel woman? Could it be that you want to frame the magistrate Xu?"
The woman's hand shook and her face changed rapidly. She quickly shook her head, "No, absolutely no... I, I, I used to be afraid that the master would not look down on me, so I deliberately lied to him..."
Ye Hua laughed loudly, "Can a magistrate easily be deceived by a brothel woman? Are all people around him pigs? Besides, you, a brothel woman, where did you get the identity certificate? Who made the fake for you? It's all about marriage and marriage. Unless Magistrate Xu is blind, he or she is a person with a big hand and eyes, deliberately making a plan to frame him! And you are the bait! Is what I said right? Is it right?"
The woman was completely stunned. Why did the young man in front of him tell such a secret matter in one sentence? How did he know about it?
The woman shook her head desperately, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Haha, it was Kong Renyu who told you. As long as you don't say it, you can save your life! The charge of killing the imperial officials is not casual, but to destroy the nine clans!"
The woman became even more frightened, and she defended: "No, no, I didn't kill anyone! The master died of drinking!"
"Drinking? Do you think my subordinates are all waste? They have experienced the corpses, and the bones of County Magistrate Xu are all black! Isn't it that you poisoned him?"
"ah!"
The woman exclaimed in a flash and shook her head desperately, but the tears in her eyes flowed down unscrupulously. Her face was white, even more terrifying than the little ghost in the painting, and her whole body was trembling...
"Mr. Xu is affectionate, but you are unrighteous. Can you live up to your conscience?" Ye Hua asked quietly.
