The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 453 Di Renjie's Descendants

Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, Pinglu County, Xiezhou County.

Dianshifu.

"Brother Yusen, it's thanks to you this time. If it wasn't for your help in solving the case, I don't even know that Wang Yuanwai is so hateful. He is usually dignified and generous, but he turns out to be a money-grubbing villain."

"That boy from the Li family, although he was born in a poor family and his family is in decline, who would have known that he had a relationship with the magistrate."

"If brother Yusen hadn't claimed his innocence, the Li family boy would have filed a complaint and told the mansion that there would be black sand on his brother's head, and he would not be guaranteed."

The county magistrate of Pinglu County, with a grateful face, said sincerely to a man in his 30s in front of him.

And in front of him was Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was recommended by His Royal Highness, Dian Shi Di Yusen.

The post of Dian Shi is a miscellaneous official of the county magistrate, who does not enter the rank, that is, "not in the stream".

It is the subordinate officer in charge of arrest and prison under the county magistrate.

Dian Shi belongs to the non-influential, that is, civil servants under the ninth rank, but when the county magistrate, chief book and other positions in the county are abolished, their duties will be concurrently held by Dian Shi.

Therefore, the positions of classics and history are all selected by the Ministry of Officials, and they can also belong to "officials ordered by the imperial court".

However, in today's world, especially in lower counties like Pinglu, the history of classics can also be replaced by officials.

Di Yusen is just a student. Although he also receives a salary, strictly speaking, he belongs to the history of Daidian.

When he passes the examination of scholar, he can become a regular.

It's just that Di Yusen is obsessed with judging cases and the way of the law. He is quite wasteful about the Four Books and Five Classics, and has no intention of reading them. He has always been sad at the level of a scholar.

"Master Xiancheng, you are being polite. These are Yusen's responsibilities, and he should not accept such a big gift."

Di Yusen looked at the burden carried by the servants outside, cupped his hands and said, "Please take it back, my lord."

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "How can that be done? I sent it here specially to express my heart. Brother Yusen, it's possible that it's too little and refuses to accept my heart."

Di Yusen's eyes were firm, and he insisted: "Yusen is not polite, but he will not be rewarded for his meritorious service. This case is also within the responsibility of Dianshi, so it should not be so."

"Please take it back, Mr. County Prime Minister."

Faced with Di Yusen's repeated insistence, the county magistrate had no choice but to sigh: "Brother Yusen, you really have the demeanor of your ancestors, but you are being rude."

"Since that's the case, I can't refuse to hold a banquet for brother Yusen that night, otherwise brother Yusen will look down on me as a brother."

Di Yusen had no choice but to raise his hand and said, "Please don't worry, the magistrate, Yusen will definitely be there."

After the county magistrate left with someone, a woman appeared.

Different from the dress of ordinary women, this woman is dressed in strong clothes, without a sense of dignified and virtuous, on the contrary, there is a bit of heroism reverberating between her brows.

"Di Yusen, I was just looking at it from the sidelines. It is the finest silk and satin cloth, and it has good meat."

"It's been a long time since our Dianshi Mansion opened meat. With your three stones per month, you have to cook for seven or eight days to eat something good."

"Don't you feel bad?"

"Besides, it was given by Li Xiancheng himself. If it wasn't for you, he would have been ousted for the black sand on his head. It's nothing like a bribe."

The woman said with some complaints.

Di Yusen was a little helpless, and explained: "Lixue, you don't understand, the county magistrate's move is worth at least [-] coins, so precious, I can't accept it."

"Today, the most hated is corruption and bribery. Once it is involved, let alone official clothes, it is a big problem whether the life of the family can be saved."

"We can still live now, even if the life is a little bit worse, it is harmless. I read in the newspaper of the capital residence that His Royal Highness has proposed to increase the salaries of officials, and it may be implemented within a year or two."

"At that time, our life will be much easier."

The woman is Di Yusen's wife, Qin Lixue, who is twenty years old and married only two months ago.

The acquaintance between Di Yusen and Qin Lixue was not because of a matchmaker's words, but a free love.

Qin Lixue is an orphan. He grew up in a nun's temple, but he has not become a monk and has learned martial arts.

In the Ming Dynasty, novels were popular, and after reading many kinds of martial arts novels, coupled with his own superb martial arts skills, he had the temperament to fight against injustice.

Then naturally it is to go to the rivers and lakes.

But the reality dealt Qin Lixue a severe blow.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's implementation of the household registration checkpoint system, Qin Lixue was about to be arrested within ten miles of the nun's temple.

Fortunately, he pretended to be a businessman's guard in the end, so he got away with it.

However, the imaginary drifting in the rivers and lakes is almost like a refugee, often full and hungry.

The rivers and lakes in the early Ming Dynasty were different from any previous dynasties, and had a very high threshold.

If you want to truly be able to roam the rivers and lakes, idle clouds and wild cranes, you must first have customs clearance documents.

These things can only be obtained by the gangs under the chamber of commerce through some connections, or they are the children of the aristocratic family.

Anyone who learns some martial arts at random is not qualified at all, and will undoubtedly be blocked outside the gate of Jianghu.

When he was in Pinglu County, he was framed.

After all, Qin Lixue has practiced martial arts for a long time. She has a good figure and good looks, which makes her quite attractive. Even if she is disguised as a man, she can be easily spotted.

This case was met by Di Yusen, and it was solved in a few words. The slanderer was thrown into prison, and Qin Lixue's innocence was repaid.

Then Qin Lixue found that it was extremely attractive to settle a case like Di Yusen's.

As the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men through layers of gauze.

Di Yusen's qualifications are considered humble in the officialdom, but to the common people, he is an official.

In addition, Di Yusen either reads the books to solve the case all the year round, or reads the Four Books and Five Classics, and has no intention of getting married.

At the age of 35, he has not yet married and has been urged by his family.

If you come and go, you will marry Qin Lixue.

Although Di Yusen wanted to be innocent, but in the end, the position of Daidianshi was still vacant in Pinglu County by virtue of Taiyuan Di's name.

"Okay, I know that you, Di Yusen, have the demeanor of an ancestor and great ambitions, but today is the day you and I agreed on. You are not allowed to read the book of judgment, you have to read the Four Books and Five Classics."

Qin Lixue is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, even though he said so, but when it comes to the property just now, there is no memory in his eyes.

After all, Di Yusen is a history of codes, and he is an official.

It's impossible to say that one day the Ministry of Officials will be elected, and there will be a new history of the classics, and then the Dianshi mansion will not be able to live.

Therefore, it is reasonable to hurry up to obtain the fame of a scholar, strive to become a regular, and become an official.

When Di Yusen heard this, the corners of his mouth were bitter, but he could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, I can't urge you today. The roof is leaking, and some tiles are broken. I have to go to the market to buy some tiles and repair the roof."

Qin Lixue said casually, looking at the meaning, she didn't intend to invite anyone at all.

Naturally, she couldn't count on a scholar like Di Yusen, but fortunately, she was pretty good at it, and she had done a lot of things like building tiles before, and she was very familiar with them.

Hearing this, Di Yusen's eyes were moved and determined: "Thank you, lady."

Qin Lixue waved her hand, and walked towards the door indifferently.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Master Dianshi is in the mansion."

Qin Lixue just walked to the door.

When he opened his mouth, he saw that it was the county government servant.

"But there is another case that requires my family's husband to intervene." Qin Lixue asked directly.

The yamen servant smiled and cupped his hands: "It turned out to be Mrs. Dianshi. If you dare to ask if Mr. Dianshi is here, it's not that there is any case. It's the magistrate who is recruiting."

Qin Lixue was stunned when she heard the words, and then couldn't help asking: "Lord magistrate, is there a new history coming?"

The yamen servant smiled and said: "That's not the case, I don't know the details, but there is a postman here, and he is still in the lobby of the county yamen at the moment. The county magistrate is accompanied by a banquet. It must be something good."

"It's better to ask Mr. Dianshi to go there quickly. If you wait for a long time, I'm afraid it will be bad."

When Di Yusen heard this, he hurried forward and said, "Lixue, since the county magistrate is recruiting, I'll go there first, and you wait at home first. When I come back, I'll bring the tile along the way."

Qin Lixue nodded and watched the two leave.

Pinglu County is not big, and the Dianshi Mansion is also close, but within a short time, Di Yusen came to the county government office.

Above the lobby, a man dressed as a postman was talking with the county magistrate.

Seeing Di Yusen approaching, the magistrate quickly put down his wine glass and said, "Yusen, come here quickly."

When Yi Cheng saw it, he asked the county magistrate, "This son is Dian Shi Di Yusen. He is really a good-looking talent."

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Isn't it? Di Dianshi is the pride of our Pinglu County. Since Di Dianshi, our Pinglu County has never picked up things on the road and never closed our doors at night."

"The cases accumulated over the years, under the judgment of Di Dianshi, all the truths surfaced, and the common people were innocent."

"But in terms of people's hearts, even I, the county magistrate, can't compare with Di Dianshi."

Yi Chenghe said: "Among the officials at the post station, anyone who passes by Pinglu County will definitely mention Di Dianshi's Daming. Now that I see him, he is indeed a well-known man with a reputation."

Di Yusen came over to pay respects, listening to the magistrate and Yicheng complimenting each other, he was at a loss.

After Yicheng praised him, he tidied up his clothes and took out a yellow rice paper document from his bosom.

"His Royal Highness's order! Di Yusen, Daidian Shi of Pinglu County, accepts the order."

As the words fell, Zhixian hurriedly pulled Di Yusen to his knees.

Yicheng then continued to speak loudly: "I have heard that Di Yusen, the history of Pinglu County, has the demeanor of his ancestor Di Renjie. He solves cases like a god, and the people under his rule all praise him."

"Today we specially invite him to the capital for an audience, and we will leave immediately."

Di Yusen, who was kneeling on the ground, was still a little dazed at the moment, but the county magistrate next to him hurriedly held his hand and urged, "Brother Yusen, what are you doing still in a daze, accept the order."

Only then did Di Yusen come to his senses, and hurriedly raised his hands high: "Di Yusen respectfully obeys His Royal Highness' orders."

After Yicheng put the decree in Di Yusen's hands, he helped Di Yusen up, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has an urgent decree, and please ask Di Dianshi to go home and pack up, and then follow me immediately."

Di Yusen didn't expect to leave so quickly, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

The magistrate said beside him: "I have said long ago that brother Yusen is like a dragon diving in the abyss, full of academic ambitions, and one day he will rise to the top."

"Now that His Royal Highness appreciates it, it must have a bright future. After Brother Yusen goes to the capital, don't forget that Pinglu County is also the home of Brother Yusen."

The county magistrate is naturally experienced in the officialdom, and he is also very particular about his speech. This secretly means, of course, that he hopes that after Di Yusen develops, he will have the opportunity to support him a little bit.

Although Di Yusen didn't like collusion, it didn't mean he didn't understand the meaning of the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, during the past five years in Pinglu County, Yusen learned that the county took care of him and that's how he is today. It will definitely not be forgotten."

The county magistrate nodded happily when he heard the words.

Speaking of which, Di Yusen was able to come to Pinglu County to be a canonist and give full play to his talents, which was the way of Taiyuan Di's magistrate here.

Speaking of which, it is a kindness.

The county magistrate was also more at ease. After getting along with him for the past few years, he also knew that although Di Yusen was innocent, he was not a pedantic person. This kind of person knows how to be grateful.

When Di Yusen went out, there was already a carriage waiting.

Under the leadership of Yicheng, he quickly returned to Dianshi's mansion.

Qin Lixue heard the knock on the door, went to open the door and saw Di Yusen walked in with a happy face.

Wei Wei lowered her head and glanced, and couldn't help asking: "How did you come back so soon, did you bring the tiles?"

"Hey, you are a smart case-handling person, and you always lose everything on weekdays. Forget it, you just wait at home, and I'll go buy it."

When Di Yusen heard this, he hugged Qin Lixue: "I'm a lady, what kind of tiles are you buying? Hurry up and pack your things, and follow me to the capital."

With a jerk of Qin Lixue's arm, she broke free, almost knocking Di Yusen to the ground.

"Why are you crazy? You still have to go to the capital. With your little salary, you don't have enough money on the way. Don't block the door. I have to buy tiles. Look at the sky. It may rain tonight, so there will be no delay."

Di Yusen had no choice but to reveal the scene behind the door.

Qin Lixue saw a carriage and several postmen waiting outside the gate.

The head of the person dressed up, clearly is Yicheng.

When he was wandering in the rivers and lakes, Qin Lixue knew a lot.

The post station only allowed officials to rest, ordinary people like her were not even qualified to enter, even if it was pouring rain, they could only endure it outside.

Di Yusen said triumphantly from the side: "Your husband and I can be regarded as smoking from the ancestral grave today."

Then he raised his hand to bow to Dongfang and said, "Today I received an order from His Royal Highness, ordering me to set off immediately and go to the capital to have an audience."

Qin Lixue looked at the carriage outside, with a bit of suspicion still on his face, he didn't believe there was such a thing as pie in the world.

"I don't study much, so don't lie to me."

Di Yusen simply took out the decree from his bosom and handed it over: "My lady will know it at a glance."

Qin Lixue looked at the yellow rice paper, which was specially used by the imperial family, his eyes lit up immediately, and after unfolding it, his mind was shaken.

Immediately said: "Husband wait a moment, it's a long way, I will prepare my luggage for my husband immediately."

Seeing Qin Lixue turned around to leave, Di Yusen grabbed her and said, "Young lady, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not just my luggage. I quickly pack it up at home, and I don't bring any unnecessary things."

"My judgment papers, yes, and my set of office work, take them all with you, enough for the carriage."

Qin Lixue paused, and asked in disbelief: "Does your husband mean to take me to the capital together?"

Di Yusen said: "His Royal Highness summoned me to go, it must be of some use, I don't know how many years I have gone, I will take my wife there."

"Furthermore, Husband, I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and I don't have a lady with high martial arts skills to accompany me. What if I was taken away by bandits."

Listening to Di Yusen's mischievous words, Qin Lixue's eyes seemed to glisten.
