Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 75 Planting Pears
After retiring, Ma Yushi was dragged out of the yamen by Yan Feng. After receiving the overtime pay, the officials went back to their homes happily, leaving only Zhang Xiu and others gathered together.

At this time, Zhang Xiu's reward also arrived as promised.

[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released Ma Yushi, and you will be rewarded with 20 years of corruption experience]

[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released old man Liu, and rewarded you with 20 years of experience in grinding tofu]

[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released Qiu Rong, and you will be rewarded with 1000 years of life]

Looking at the three new rewards, Zhang Xiu was stunned.

No, do things like corruption still need experience... Ahem, do things like grinding tofu still need experience?
What happened to Qiu Rong's 1000-year lifespan?

Glancing at Qiurong, Zhang Xiu frowned and asked, "Miss Qiurong, what are your plans for the future?"

Qiu Rong bowed to Zhang Xiu: "If you go back to your lord, the girl's wish has been fulfilled. Go back to my hometown, Dahuaishu Village, and take another look at my parents. I'm ready to go to the underworld to reincarnate."

He knew that Dahuaishu Village was located in Guobei, Jinhua County. It was named after a century-old pagoda tree. When inspecting the disaster situation, he also went there to distribute food. It is a very simple and peaceful village.

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, feeling that Qiurong's chance was probably because she stopped caring after she entered the underworld, and let the Weng and his daughter-in-law go on their way as soon as possible while it was dark.

A few days later, the news that Ma Yushi's court hand killed Jiangnan governor and Xinke Hanlin reached the court, and the court and the public were in an uproar.

After listening to the memorial, the emperor in the Golden Luan Hall was stunned for a moment, and then Long Yan rejoiced and said three good words in succession: "Okay! I have such an upright and upright censor in Daxia. It is fitting that my Daxia society is prosperous and the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

Prime Minister Pang Tong's two cousins ​​and a nephew were killed at the same time, he gritted his teeth angrily, and came out and said, "My lord, how can a mere sixth-rank censor have such a heavy burden, there must be something strange about this matter!"

The emperor looked at Pang Tong with displeasure: "Huh? What does the prime minister mean by that? Couldn't my Great Xia have an upright censor who is not afraid of power!!"

Pang Tong was stunned by the yelling, and then he was about to say: Of course not, isn't this a well-known thing!
But seeing the emperor's dark face, Pang Tong stopped talking immediately, and said angrily: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true. Ma Yushi has made meritorious service in solving the case. I implore the Holy Majesty to transfer him back to serve in the court!"

He must ask himself how his cousin and nephew died! !
The emperor's face paled, and he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, according to my will, Ma Piqing, the censor of the Jiangnan Road, pleaded for the people and made meritorious service in solving the case. He was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and returned to Beijing immediately!"

At this time, Zhao Deyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out and said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty, please take back the order, Ma Yushi may not be able to come to the capital."

The emperor wondered, "Why?"

Zhao Deyan said with a strange expression: "Ma Yushi hanged himself at home on the third day after he settled the case, and this was definitely not someone's deliberate revenge. His seventeen concubines watched him cry with their own eyes. After writing the suicide note with a full face, I saw him hang himself."

"However, according to what his concubines said, after he returned home, he was worried all day long, and he was still thinking that the prime minister would not let me go, and then he finally broke down and chose to hang himself. There are other inside stories. maybe."

Pang Tong said angrily: "Zhao Deyan, what do you mean, do you think this is what the prime minister did?"

Zhao Deyan said with a smile: "Your official never said that, Prime Minister, don't be suspicious."

Seeing the two arguing like in the past, the emperor was upset for a while, and waved: "Sanchao!"

The civil and military officials led the decree, divided into three or four factions and retreated. The emperor looked at the backs of the ministers and asked, "Sanbao, do you think what Zhao Deyan said is true?"

The eunuch Sanbao hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is understandable to say that the prime minister killed Ma Yushi for revenge, but with the prime minister's means, if he did it, he would definitely not leave so many lies..."

The emperor raised his face sullenly: "I'm asking, does Ma Yushi really have seventeen concubines? He actually has more concubines than I do."

Eunuch Three Treasures: "@#￥%￥#@..."

There was no proof of Ma Yushi's death, and the people kept their mouths shut. Zhang Xiu also sent people to Ma Yushi's funeral, and sent several plaques, such as "solve the case like a god" and "plead for the people". stunned.

Not to mention other people, even Ma Yushi's family has some doubts. Over the years, Ma Yushi had to pretend to be a corrupt official in order to infiltrate corrupt officials and collect criminal evidence?

After eating, Zhang Xiu was in a good mood. Walking on the street, looking at the gradually bustling county town, she came to a pear stall, grabbed a pear, took a bite, turned around and left with the pear.

Seeing this, an old Taoist who had been with Zhang Xiu for a long time showed a smile on his face, and walked to the pear stall, imitating Zhang Xiu's appearance, grabbed a pear, and said with a smile, "Thank you, benefactor!"

Just as he was about to turn around, the bearded young man who sold pears grabbed his wrist and used his hands hard to prevent him from running away. He said with a dark face, "Master Dao, give me the money first, one copper coin for one!"

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest couldn't help being a little annoyed: "You didn't pay attention to the man who took your pear just now, why did you ask for money when the poor Taoist took it?

What's more, you have hundreds of pears in this cart, and the poor will only ask you for one. It's not a big loss for you, so why do you have to lose your temper so much? "

The young man said angrily: "Can you be the same as him? Do you know who that person was just now?"

With a flick of his hand, the old Taoist easily waved away the young man's wrist and said, "The old Taoist is a human being, and he is also a human being. They both have one nose and two eyes. What's the difference?"

Zhang Xiu stopped walking when she heard the quarrel, turned around and walked over. Hearing the old Taoist's words, she couldn't help but smile a little: "Of course it's different."

The old man sized Zhang Xiu up with scrutiny, looked away from his official uniform, and said, "Oh, what's the difference? Could it be that because you have an official position, they are afraid of you and dare not ask you for money?"

Zhang Xiu shook the pear in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's not true, he didn't ask me for money, just because... this pear was grown in my yamen! Prison, lock it up for three days before releasing it!"

Seeing the surrounding people pointing and pointing at him, and watching the people with disdain, the old Taoist looked confused: "@#￥%￥#@..."

This development is a bit wrong, why is it exactly the same as what I just thought?I still want to use spells to plant a pear tree, and I still want to play tricks on the dog officials who oppress the people!
How did things suddenly become like this? ? ! !
