Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1294 Wen Tingzhan's Test

"Test?" Ye Yaoguang immediately realized when he heard it, "Actually, you planned to give him a chance earlier in the morning, right?"

Otherwise, how could the test have been set.

"I didn't intend to." Wen Tingzhan looked at Ye Yaoguang with clear eyes, "I went to Jiayuan Lane today, so I planned to give him a chance."

"Jiayuan Lane?" The name is so strange.

"It's a place built by Hu Ting. All the people living in this alley are the relatives of the brothers who fought against the flood with him more than ten years ago. Some people lost their ability to survive in the flood, and some only stayed The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, nearly a thousand of these people have been supported by him for more than ten years."

"Where did Hu Ting get so much money?" Ye Yaoguang was astonished.

The salary of officials in this dynasty is already the highest in all dynasties. Hu Ting is a third-rank military attache, and his monthly salary is only 240 taels. How can this 240 taels be enough for a thousand people to spend a month? Although officials have gray income, but Ye Yaoguang has been with Wen Tingzhan for so long, and Wen Tingzhan also has gray income, such as the Dushan jade that was given away at the beginning, etc. These can be exchanged for money, but it is not enough to support so many people.

If Hu Ting didn't have a particularly large source of income, Ye Yaoguang felt it was impossible to support so many people for more than ten years.

"His wife is the daughter of the richest man in Huguang." Wen Tingzhan explained, "The imperial court provides pensions to relatives who sacrificed their lives for the country every year. He has a backbone, and he has been able to persevere for so many years, and he has never even been corrupt."

"That's really rare..." Ye Yaoguang praised, and then couldn't help gossiping, "Wouldn't it be because of his money that he married a wife?"

"You're right." Wen Tingzhan nodded with a smile, "Hu Ting's previous wife died in the flood, and he and his ex-wife were childhood sweethearts, but he abandoned her to save the people, causing her to die. It was the biggest pain in his heart. After he was promoted, he kept his wife's filial piety for three years. Three years later, he married his current wife. Every year, his wife gave him tens of thousands of taels of silver and threw it in the alley of his family. And he , except for the wife he remarried, he has never touched any other women..."

"He's a man." The more Ye Yaoguang heard, the more he liked Hu Ting.

It is true that his purpose of marrying a wife is not pure, but he gave women in this era everything they want, a husband who always guards her. In fact, he has a high position and power, and there are many ways to make money, but he chose this For his wife, this might not be a kind of happiness. In ancient times, I am afraid that there was no woman who did not want to have a man and only her.

Even if he lived in Ye Yaoguang's previous life, so many people cheated on monogamy, which was clearly protected by the law. Some men even used their wives for food, and even used their wives' money to support women.It is extremely rare for Hu Ting to be able to achieve this step, especially those people are not his responsibility. They died for the country and the disaster. This is the fate of a soldier. They died in the line of duty, but he still has no complaints. Take it up without regret.

"Hu Ting has only three daughters and has no children so far. His wife once offered him a concubine to continue the blood of the Hu family, but he refused." This is what Wen Tingzhan admires Hu Ting the most, and it is for this reason that he is willing Even if the city tower happened, give Hu Ting a chance.

This is a man of blood, a man with a sense of responsibility and responsibility who can resist temptation.His only shortcoming is that he places too much emphasis on affection. Whether it is family affection, the affection between a man and a woman, or even brotherhood, Hu Ting values ​​it very much.

Ye Yaoguang didn't speak any more, she lay on Wen Tingzhan's lap, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep amidst the shaking of the carriage. She really admired Hu Ting for being able to do this. Men, there are too few in this world.He originally had a chance to rise to a high position, but for the sake of the relatives of the generals who died with him at the beginning, he was able to refuse even the temptation of power.

Such a person has a very firm heart, and this kind of character is admirable from the bottom of my heart.

It took Wen Tingzhan and his carriage five days to rush back to the imperial capital. On the day they arrived at the imperial capital, Wen Tingzhan immediately entered the palace with the person brought back by the gold. He was sent to prison, but the crime was only an accomplice of stealing tax money rather than the mastermind, but Emperor Xinghua still ordered him to be executed three days later.

"Who is that person?" Lying on the bed at night, Ye Yaoguang couldn't help asking.

"Hu Xiao's son." Wen Tingzhan replied.

Ye Yaoguang was startled: "How did you catch him?"

"I didn't catch him, but he found me. Despite his young age, he is very smart. He realized that I had found Hu Ting earlier than Hu Ting, so he took the initiative to find me. , directly pleaded guilty, saying that he was the mastermind of the tax and bank case, and that he took advantage of Hu Ting's trust in him, and his father and Cao Gong were close friends, and his father even lost his legs to save Cao Gong's mother, so Cao Gong wants to protect him, but as for why he stole the tax money, he only said that someone caught his father's back then, and he couldn't bear his disabled father to be imprisoned, so he had to obey orders." Wen Tingzhan shook his head. Said, "He took the whole incident on himself, and the evidence, the cause of the incident, except for the omission of Hu Ting, is actually seamless."

"It's quite capable." Ye Yaoguang praised, it's quite remarkable to be able to get the word "seamless" from Wen Tingzhan. If Wen Tingzhan hadn't found out Hu Ting early in the morning, I'm afraid he would have given him Going around, "Then why did you push him in front of His Majesty?"

"Didn't I say that I set a test for Hu Ting?" Wen Tingzhan lightly scratched Ye Yaoguang's nose, "We'll see how he behaves in three days."

"You want Hu Ting to stand up and admit his crime?" Ye Yaoguang reacted.

"He will not stand up and admit his crimes, he will only go to the execution ground." Wen Tingzhan said meaningfully, "He may choose to die on the execution ground, which is an explanation and a relief."

"This is the result you want. You want to see if he will come to rob the court in person, right?"

If he came in person, it would prove that he had pleaded guilty; if he did not come in person, it would mean that he had not pleaded guilty.

"If he really comes, how will you give him a way out?" It's another crime to rob the execution ground. Even if Wen Tingzhan doesn't kill him, His Majesty can't spare him.

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Wen Tingzhan kissed the corner of Ye Yaoguang's lips lightly, "Go to sleep, tomorrow I will take you to see Zhinan's unique skills."

"Why did you jump on Gu Mo again..." Ye Yaoguang looked sideways at Wen Tingzhan who had already closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch his nose, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
