Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Bold and diabolical woman, how dare you disturb the court, so hurry up and back down! Otherwise, call me to get out!" Mei Niang has been making trouble for a long time, which has already upset Yang Tongzhi.

It can be clearly seen that Mei Fugui's wife is crazy, she can even talk about impostors, who is she kidding?

Generally, the appointment and removal of officials by the imperial court must go through strict identity verification.Moreover, the report will also describe in detail the physical appearance of the new officials.For example, Mei Fugui's report clearly indicated his height, facial features and waist circumference, so there was no way to impersonate him.

What's more, even if someone else has the audacity to pretend to be an official.As soon as he took office, he must be greedy for money, make a fortune in the shortest possible time, and then escape as soon as possible.

And since Mei Fugui did this inspection, he never took a single thing, just wandered around the mountains and rivers all day long.

At this time, Yang Zilie felt a little regretful that he was wasting effort by passing on this mad woman to the court.

He also regretted that this woman looked so beautiful.The official originally planned to take Mei as a concubine after one of the capital crimes surnamed Mei was punished.Judging from today's situation, this kind of woman is undesirable. If she really goes crazy, I'm afraid I will have a lot of trouble.

Hearing this shout, Su Mu quickly waved his hands: "Zhao Hulu, quickly drag my wife back to the inn, and do the theory when I come back. Hey, I'm also to blame, so I asked a doctor to come over to show her. I thought A while ago, I have recovered a lot, but I don’t want to see so many people here today, and get sick again.”

Zhao Hulu responded, and then shouted: "Come here some aunts and sisters-in-law, help me."

Immediately, several sister-in-laws came up, tried to persuade and dragged Meiniang out.

Poor Mei Niang not only did not sue Su Mu, but was treated as a lunatic by others, she was stunned, and let others drag her away like a walking dead.

"Mother, mother!"

"Zhao Hulu, take Nannan away, I will be back later."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Hulu picked up her daughter and quickly followed her.

As soon as Mei Niang left, the lobby finally became quiet.

But the people surrounding the yamen still did not leave.

After the commotion just now, Yang Zilie felt a little vented in his heart, and he couldn't lift his spirits. He coughed, and turned to Guan Zhizhou and said, "Master Zhou, the evidence of Mei Fugui's bigamy crime is solid. According to the law, when Ninety rods, so that he divorced in the Wu family. As for how to deal with it, please show me."

Hearing Yang Tongzhi bring up this matter again, Su Mu's heart hung in his throat, this was a wave of unrest, and another wave, and it circled back to the crime.

Guan Zhizhou rubbed his chin, feeling a little embarrassed.He has a close relationship with Su Mu, so naturally he can't do this kind of cruelty.

Sighing: "Bigamy will be punished naturally by inspector Mei, but he is an official after all. If he receives ninety sticks, the dignity of this official... I'm afraid... In the future, the common people will not respect our state government." ...But it's not good..."

This is already pleading, Guan Zhizhou was a little embarrassed, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

As a Zhengyin official, I don't know why, but when I saw my deputy, Yang Zilie, who was a serious Jinshi, he lacked confidence. In many cases, he was like Yang Tongzhi's Zuo Er.

Yang Tongzhi nodded unexpectedly: "Master Zhou Mu is right, but the lower official has a suggestion, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Yangzhou, please tell me."

Yang Zilie said: "Bigamy is a felony that violates human relations. I will send the ninety sticks for now. But Mei Fugui's inspection department can no longer do the job."

"En, remove Mei Fugui from the post of inspection department." Guan Zhizhou nodded and ordered loudly.

The onlookers outside the yamen shook their heads for a while. This plum inspection is not bad, but it is a pity that they fell into this kind of thing unexpectedly.

Yang Tongzhi said again: "This matter can't just be dismissed."

Guan Zhizhou: "Tell me."

Yang Zilie's voice became louder, and he shouted with dignity: "Mei Fugui has committed a serious crime. In addition to being dismissed from all posts, he must also enrich his corvee. He should be assigned to serve in the Salt Division."

"Okay, that's it!" Guan Zhizhou nodded again and again, quickly delivered the verdict, then withdrew, and went back to the office.

Hearing that Yang Tongzhi spared his ninety sticks, Su Mu was very puzzled.This is a great opportunity to put him to death, but he let it go lightly. Could it be that Yang Zilie's conscience found out?

impossible.

Su Mu is not afraid of the nine sticks, the worst thing is to show his identity at that time.

It would be best if he could continue to conceal his identity now.

But what made him even more strange was that Yang Tongzhi actually asked him to serve in the Salt Division. How could this be so weird!To persuade the corvee, the state government is short of manpower every year, whether it is repairing the embankment of the Grand Canal or dredging the canal. How can it send labor to the salt department?

"Could it be that he wants me, Su Mu, to suffer some more torture in Yansi?" Seeing Ma Quan's green eyes next to him, Su Mu suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Hehe, the surname is Mei, since Mr. Yang has already said it, let's go to the Yan Division to report it tomorrow. We are old friends, so we should naturally get close, close!" Ma Quan stretched out his blood-red tongue and licked his own. The mouth and the smile looked extremely ferocious.

However, now is not the time to be angry with the horse, Su Mu walked out of the lobby frowning.

The onlookers silently stepped aside, with regret in their eyes.The Tangtang inspector said that if there is no one, there will be no more, and now he has to go to the Yansi to do hard labor. His good future will be ruined, and anyone else may not be able to stand it.

Suddenly, a scholar in the crowd spit on the ground with a "bah" sound: "Mei Fugui, I used to know that you are also a talented person, and I admired you a little in my heart, but I didn't expect you to be such an unbearable person. My own official position, but stop marrying another wife, a shameless villain, indeed a shameless villain."

"Shameless villain!"

"This kind of filthy character was wishful thinking to win the favor of a real fairy, haha, it's really funny!"

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Su Mu looked intently, and it was the third young master Gu Rungu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

He and a few scholars looked at Su Mu with contempt, obviously they had been watching for a long time.

These people are probably rich men in the city, all of them have oily hair and pink faces, their faces are flushed, and they all have a faint fragrance of makeup.

Su Mu smiled, and suddenly walked towards Third Young Master Gu: "Young Master Gu Hua."

Seeing Su Mu walking towards him, Gu Run suddenly felt a little scared, and couldn't help taking a step back: "You lowly servant, what do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything, how dare I be rude to Hua Shao!" Su Mu put his mouth close to his ear, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "I heard some rumors a few days ago, your Gu family seems to be with you Today's Cisheng Empress Dowager is old. In order to revive the family business, your Gu family will send you to the capital to be the son-in-law of the royal family. Hehe, congratulations to Hua Shao. When we meet in the future, maybe I will ask you to take care of me!"

"What!" Gu Run was taken aback.

But Su Mu had already laughed and walked away.

"This shameless villain, Brother Yiyu, what is he talking about?" A man who looked like a son asked.

"No... nothing..." Gu Run stuttered.

He vaguely knew that his family had something to do with the current Queen Mother Zhang, after all, the distance between the two families was only sixty or seventy miles.When the old man of the Gu family was alive, he was the same year as the old man of the Zhang family.Later, Empress Dowager Zhang entered the palace. Because of the disparity in status and the fact that the Zhang family moved to the capital, the two families had no contact with each other.

In the past few days, the family seems to have been sending messengers to the capital to handle errands, which seems to be very mysterious.

Ordinarily, my father was just a scholar, even if he wanted to follow the path of the Zhang family, he would not be able to become an official.Moreover, the family does not do business, so there is no need to use such a huge background.

Could it be that……

When Gu Run thought of this, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The royal son-in-law is so easy to do, he can't do business, he can't take the imperial examination, he can't be an official, and his status is too low, which is quite inferior to his son-in-law.

"Brother Yiyu, seeing Mei Fugui eating soft-shelled turtles today is truly heart-warming. I was waiting for poetry and wine to be sung in the brothel, and when I heard there was excitement here, I flocked here, but I didn't enjoy myself. Why don't you find another good place?" How many more poems should I write?"

"Mingyue Tower came to a Qingguan named Pinyan. It is said that he is from Yangzhou. He has raised a Yangzhou skinny horse for ten years. Although his poems and songs are not as good as a real fairy with amazing talents, he has a unique kind of slim You might as well go and have a look.”

Several other scholars applauded in unison.

Another person said: "Li Xiongtai's words are wrong, there are so many real fairies in this world, how can they be compared with ordinary people. Fairies should be respected in my heart."

"Yes, yes!"

All the scholars nodded at the same time.

Gu Run was flustered, he didn't have the mind to go out and drink, and he didn't speak, just cupped his hands, turned around and left in a hurry.

The few scholars behind him were a little stunned.

"What's the matter with Gu Yiyu today, when he talked about these romances in the past, he cared more about it than us."

"Could it be that the rough surnamed Mei just said something?"

"Not sure."

When Gu Run got home, he went straight to see his father.

Father and elder brother were sitting in the main room as if discussing something, but when they saw him coming, they kept silent at the same time.

Seeing his distraught look, Boss Gu asked worriedly: "Third brother, your complexion looks very bad, but are you sick?"

Gu Wenwen, the old man, snorted: "You are incompetent, looking at you now, you must be spending time and drinking outside again. When I saw your slutty appearance, the old man felt angry. Why did my Gu family get out of you like this?" An unworthy thing."

Boss Gu hurriedly said: "Third brother, you still don't back down. Father's health is not good, and carefulness made him angry."

Gu Run didn't leave, but still stood there blankly.

At this time, Gu Wenwen and Gu Boss realized that he was wrong.
