high official

Chapter 226
The holy order is as great as the sky, and if Zhou Xin is required to enter Beijing immediately, he cannot delay for a moment.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Xin handed over the errands to the two deputy envoys, and the focus was on returning the looted property of the common people. He said to the two deputy envoys: "The list of house raids found from Xu Yingxian's house should be accurate. Return the people's property. You can continue this matter after I leave, and you can't stop."

"I don't know why your Excellency is in such a hurry?" A deputy envoy asked, "It's better to wait for the case to be finalized before returning it, wouldn't it be appropriate?"

"I'm afraid that the situation will change..." Zhou Xin frowned and said, "The money belongs to the common people. The government has kept it as a deposit, and there are signatures from the Chief Secretary and the Procuratorate, which are enough to prove the crime of Jin Yiwei. The night is long and the dreams are many, let’s return it to the common people as soon as possible.”

"Is there any change in this matter?" The two deputy envoys asked in surprise.

"Ordinarily not," Zhou Xin sighed quietly: "But who knows what changes will happen during this trip to the capital?"

"Ah..." The two deputy envoys sighed in unison. They heard what Xu Yingxian and Zhu Jiu said in the lobby that day.Besides, when it comes to the position of deputy envoy of the inspector, many things can't be hidden from them.They knew that Emperor Jianwen was not dead, and the imperial court was doing all they could to arrest him secretly. Last year's siege of the Pujiang River was to arrest Emperor Jianwen.As a result, soldiers and horses from all over Zhejiang were mobilized to surround Pujiang for several months, but Jianwen still ran away.

The emperor was naturally very angry, and then he became extremely suspicious of the officials of Zhejiang Province, which led to the establishment of Jinyiwei Zhejiang Thousand Households Office.They also heard that Jin Yiwei is secretly investigating the relationship between Zhou Yutai and the remaining Jianwen party. If they bite him on this, Zhou Yutai will be in trouble.They all admire Zhou Xin for taking great risks to plead for the people.Although the two deputy envoys did not have the courage of Zhou Xin, they were disciples of the sages. They knew the teachings of 'Confucius said to achieve benevolence and Meng said to obtain righteousness'. Qi Qi bowed to Zhou Xin and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured and go on the road. We will leave the matter of Hangzhou to us."

"Thank you." Zhou Xin clasped his fists in return and gave some more instructions. He didn't turn back to the Houya until it was time to light the lamp.

Walking into the backyard, Zhou Xin looked up at the night sky in early summer. The first quarter moon was floating on the south courtyard wall, and all kinds of bugs in the grass and under the wall were chirping carefree. The lights were on, and the whole family was waiting for him to come back.

Zhou Xin entered the main room, and under the service of the maidservant, he took off his official uniform and hat, and changed into a Gebu Taoist robe worn at home. He sat down on the seat, and together with his wife, accepted the greetings of his two sons and one daughter, and then The whole family sits down for dinner.

The dinner was cooked by Mrs. Zhou herself. She is the daughter of a Juren in Guangzhou.As an official, Zhou Xin is busy with official duties, so he seldom cares about housework, and his wife takes care of it all.

At the dinner table, Zhou Xin looked at his old wife and children, and he had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only feel bored in his heart.Mrs. Zhou saw that her husband was preoccupied, and her children returned home after dinner. She poured a cup of ginseng tea for Zhou Xin, and said softly, "My lord, you look in a daze. Could it be that there is something wrong with coming to Beijing this time?"

"What could be wrong?" Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because I've been too tired for a while, and my energy is a little low."

"No, there must be something." Knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "Today Zhou Tailai said goodbye to me and said that he would go to the south for a few years. He is your most capable subordinate. Now it is time to employ people, but you dismissed him. , this is clearly..." Mrs. Zhou said with a strong worry on her face, "I'm planning for the worst..."

"..." Zhou Xin was slightly surprised at his wife's sensitivity, and thinking about the separation today, he didn't know if he would see each other again, and it might affect his family. He felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, "Don't worry about Zhou Tai's matter." Just guessing, but this time I went to Beijing, it is indeed a bit dangerous. The capital is the old nest of the Jinyiwei, and when we get there, the host and guest will change places, who knows what will happen." He looked up at his wife, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "I've already done it. In the worst case, I can face any situation calmly. It’s just that I feel ashamed when I think that I may implicate you..."

Mrs. Zhou turned pale when she heard the words: "There are so many officials in Zhejiang, everyone knows that Jin Yiwei can't afford to mess with them, why do you insist on messing with them?"

"I know that I am in a place of suspicion. If there is a possibility, I will not provoke them." Facing his wife, Zhou Xin had nothing to hide, and sighed: "But in the past few months, seeing The common people have been ravaged, Hangzhou has become a hell on earth, as a province and Taiwan, I have a duty to do so, how can I just sit idly by?"

"You can also avoid it." Mrs. Zhou said quietly.

"Hundreds of thousands of people are in dire straits, and there must be an official who speaks for them and decides for them!" Zhou Xin held his wife's hand and said in a low voice: "Others are smart, but I am a fool who doesn't know how to live or die..."

Madam Zhou's tears flowed down her cheeks, she held her husband's hand tightly, shook her head and said with sobs: "You are not stupid, you understand better than anyone else, but you are not deceitful..."

"If I can't come back, Zhou Yong and the others will escort you south. Zhou Tai is going to fight for the front..." Zhou Xin whispered: "I eat the king's salary, and it is my duty to be loyal to the court, but you have no such obligation. I suffer together."

"If you have something to do, how can I live alone?" Mrs. Zhou said with tears shaking her head.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Xin said in a deep voice, "If you die too, who will take care of your children? Who will take care of your mother? You have to pick up this burden!"

"..." Mrs. Zhou has already cried into tears: "Master, is this really the case?"

"Of course not, I just said in case," Zhou Xinqiang said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, I will be back within a month, so don't worry, it's getting late, go to sleep, and you have to hurry tomorrow. "

"Hmm..." Mrs. Zhou nodded and turned off the lamp, but this night, the couple is destined to have trouble sleeping...

.

Wang Xian was also sleepless all night. A few days ago, he paid a visit to the master and came to thank him, but he got a shocking news. Xu Tixue told him that the Ministry of War had already written a letter to him, and he was going to be transferred to Beijing to serve as the young grandson of the grandson. military.

Wang Xian was stunned at the time. It sounded like Xiao Guizi's rhythm. Could it be that he wanted to castrate me?
"Oh, I can understand how you feel. You have just been admitted as a scholar and you are going to be a soldier. No one can accept it." Xu Tixue sighed and comforted him: "But you can rest assured, as far as I know, Taisun's young army is not a regular army, that is to say, you don't have to be a military member, I will keep your student status for you, and you can come back to take the Juren examination in the future. If you pass the Juren examination, you will be an official, so naturally you don't have to worry about joining the military."

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for your kindness." Wang Xian thanked him hastily.

"Besides, this time, thanks to the grandson calling for you by name, you can get rid of the threat of Jin Yiwei. You must be grateful to be a human being, and you must serve the grandson well." Xu Tixue said with a smile: "Maybe, I will still rely on you to take care of me in the future." Woolen cloth."

"Grandmaster was joking..." Listening to Xu Tixue's "serving the grandson", Wang Xian's mind appeared, the appearance of Wang Zhenwang, as if Wang Zhen was also born as a scholar... Oh, I would rather die than be a eunuch !
"I'm not joking," Xu Tixue said sternly, "The grandson is also the heir apparent, this is your chance, so cherish it."

"Yes..." Wang Xianhun left the Tixue Institute in dismay. The first thing he did was to find out what this young army was like. Unfortunately, there is no one in Hangzhou who understands it. He just knew that he was selected from Hangzhou when he was last year. From twelve to seventeen years old, a strong and innocent boy from a clean family background went to the capital to serve as a young army.Hearing that physical strength is required, Wang Xian was a little more sympathetic, as if choosing an eunuch did not require this, but he was worried after all, fearing that the young bird who came to Beijing this time would never come back...

When I went home and told my parents, Aunt Wang was also stunned, "Son, we can't go, if you become a rich eunuch, you are also a dead eunuch, that can't be done!"

"Nonsense." Wang Xingye said: "I have inquired about it. The Ministry of War recruited young troops from all over the country for the grandson. There are not [-] but [-]. There are not so many eunuchs in the palace. It is useless to serve a grandson. so many people?"

"It makes sense..." Aunt Wang murmured, "What if it happens?"

"It doesn't matter in case, there is Wang Gui..." Father Wang said irresponsibly, Wang Xian almost fell off the chair, shit, am I your own?
"No!" Aunt Wang was still very worried, after much deliberation, she made a final decision: "Xiaoer, you and Qing'er will consummate the house in two days!"

'Cough cough cough...' Wang Xian coughed again and again, feeling so depressed in his heart, what kind of parents do I have here?
"I'm sorry." The old woman said with a smile: "What's the difference between you two and the couple now?"

Old Wang Xian blushed and said, "Mother, we are innocent..."

"Okay!" The old lady waved her hand domineeringly: "Qing'er is our family's adopted daughter-in-law. According to the custom, there is no need to hold a wedding. I will look back and arrange a new house for you two, and invite relatives and friends to have a drink." , that’s it.”

"Well, treating guests to wine is a must." Wang Xingye nodded and said, "I thought you would even save this."

"If you save nothing, you can't save this." The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise, where will I get the gift!"

"..." Wang Xian was completely speechless, where did the morals of the two elders go?
But in this era, Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er had no say in matters of marriage and could only be at the mercy of their parents.The old lady's character of being vigorous and resolute has not changed, so I asked the master to check the date when I turned around, and found that it will be an auspicious day in six days, so I set the date of marriage, April [-]!

Wang Xian always felt sorry for Lin Qing'er for getting married in such a hasty manner, but Sister Lin was very considerate. This is the case with brides-in-law all over the world, and the six rituals are complete but make people laugh.What's more, she has long regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and whether the ceremony is not a ceremony, it really doesn't matter that much...

At least that's how she comforted Wang Xian.

　No rest on rest days, continue to code for everyone, ask for votes to encourage...
