Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 352
Everything, the guards guarding the city gate acted as if they hadn't seen it, they didn't even pay attention to it.No one upholds justice, no one delivers justice!It's all because that servant belongs to his concubine's father's family. In this world, the poor and lowly are not as good as a dog from a powerful family!

Xue Lang felt the sorrow of a rabbit dying and a fox hurting its kind. If one day he fell into such a field, would anyone dare to stand up and shout?

"Stop it!"

"Here."

The guard moved in response and quickly stopped the servant——

Xue Mansion's guards are all composed of elite soldiers selected by Princess Pingyang. They have strict discipline in their actions and have a certain power.The servant was suddenly stopped, and he was taken aback: "Who dares to stop me? Do you know who I am? I'm from the Yin Guozhang's family!"

"The head of the country? Where is the head of the country? Although Xue has a humble official position, he is still an official of the court. I have never heard that my pilgrim has established a new post after Empress Taimu. How can the head of the country say that?"

Xue Lang got off the carriage and said frankly.

However, that servant was just a small servant, who didn't understand the wit in Xue Lang's words, so he said triumphantly: "What an ignorant official! I want you to know that my wife is Mrs. Yin from the Saint's Palace." , why not the head of the country?"

Xue Lang looked him up and down, with a solemn expression, pretending to be surprised: "So it's Mrs. Yin's natal family!"

The servant had an expression of "I know I'm afraid".Xue Lang said solemnly: "However, from Zhou Gong's ceremonies to now, according to the rites, only the father of the empress can be called the head of the state. I don't know when Mrs. Yin became Her Royal Highness, can the saint have edicts to spread all over the world? I am in Chang'an every day, Didn't you know there was such an edict?"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a steward stabbed in obliquely, talking repeatedly, and when he came over, he kicked the servant's ass and cursed: "This is the unmarried son-in-law of Duke Changping, Princess An Guo Pingyang , the son-in-law is now, do you also have a share in your speech?"

The servant was taken aback, and quickly knelt down: "The little one has eyes but no eyes, and offended the Duke, please forgive him!"

The steward begged for mercy and said with a smile: "This son of a bitch is ignorant and talks nonsense. He is neither literate nor law-abiding. In order to please his master, he pretends to be the head of the country without authorization. It's a sin, a sin! Come here, take it down, and give it fifty slaps!"

"what!"

The servant screamed, and before he could say anything, someone covered his mouth and dragged him down.Xue Lang looked at the steward with scrutiny in his eyes, and slowly said: "The steward is indeed a sensible person, I hope there are more people in the house who understand as the steward, so that the reputation of the lady in the palace will not be missed, yes wrong?"

The steward turned his eyes, and immediately replied: "Yes, yes, thank you for your honest advice. Come on, give that sister-in-law five pennies to compensate her for food, and let her go to the city to see a doctor for the rest , must not fall ill because of the recklessness of the people in my mansion. Lord Xue looks at it, how can we deal with it like this?"

The woman whose vegetable basket had been knocked off was already shivering in fright.Xue Lang didn't even look at her, and didn't speak. After someone gave the woman the money, he said calmly: "This matter is within the authority of Chang'an Governor. What has it to do with me? I can't get out of the car." It is to see who has the audacity to pretend to be the head of the country, such a serious crime will be beheaded!"

The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all due to the ignorance of the subordinates. Thank you Jungong Xue for reminding me, the great kindness, the small ones will definitely repay the master to know."

Xue Lang sneered in his heart, your master has not shown his face until now, but he is putting on airs.He said in his mouth: "Master Yin should know that this matter is not in line with etiquette. If necessary, I will mention it to the saint when I enter the palace. By the way, I will also tell the princess and ask her to remind Yin Yin when she enters the palace. lady."

The steward's expression changed, he looked up at Xue Lang's indifferent smile, shook his head, and said, "Don't dare, dare not, you don't need to disturb the saint and princess for a little matter? From now on, the mansion will strictly enforce Under restraint, people will never dare to commit crimes again.”

"Really? If this is the case, then it will be fine."

"sure."

The steward smiled.Xue Lang nodded, and said: "That's it, I hope that the words and deeds will be the same in the future. Changjian, let's go, let's go back to the city."

"Here."

Xue Lang got on the carriage again and stopped queuing. Chang Jian directly showed his identity plate to the city guard and used his privilege to jump in line and return to the city.The steward of Yin's residence watched Xue Lang's carriage enter the city, his eyes flickered, he snorted, and led his people to catch up with the owner's carriage, and reported the situation to the owner in the carriage in a low voice.

The people in the car were furious when they heard this: "Zizi dares to deceive me! Send someone to the East Palace immediately, and ask the prince to uphold justice for me."

When the steward heard this, he was taken aback, and quickly tried to persuade him, "My lord, you must not let the crown prince know about this matter."

"Why?"

"My lord, have you forgotten that the mother of the crown prince is the late Empress Dou of Taimu?"

If you want to be called the head of the country, it should be the Dou family, and it is not the Yin family's turn to be called.Of course, the manager didn't dare to say this directly, so he could only remind Yin Ashu from the side.

There was silence in the car.The steward took advantage of the opportunity and said, "My lord, the Duke of Changping County has taken up the righteousness in this matter. It is not good to ask the crown prince to uphold justice. This matter can only be done by reporting to the madam."

The people in the car were silent for a while, and said resentfully: "After returning home today, I will ask my wife to pass the sign into the palace, and I will tell my wife when I meet next time, and ask my wife to avenge my father's grievances."

"Master is wise."

The steward flattered, and said respectfully: "Master, the weather is so beautiful today, don't let someone who has nothing to do with you miss the master's hunting interest, please leave!"

"Well...it really shouldn't be, let's go."

A group of people set off to the hunting ground again, but the little woman who had won five guans of money, no one mentioned it, had already picked up the basket on the ground and went home quietly while no one was watching her.

However, a few years later, on the old and new Tang books, and on Baidu a few years later, there was a short story about "Xue Gong Punishes Traitors".It has also become one of the short stories that show the demeanor of Xue Lang's famous minister.Of course, this is all for later, let’s talk about the present——

After Xue Lang returned to the city, he went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He still had a lot of work to do. The Ministry of Finance was in charge of the cashiers, and there was a lot of calculation work to be done.Although Xue Lang has taught his subordinates Arabic numerals and calculation formulas, there is still a lot of calculation and induction work to be done, and he cannot do without people these days.

After a busy morning, when preparing to eat at noon, the immediate boss Pei Ju came to share the table, and the old man very consciously brought a few mutton buns, and ate Xue Lang's dishes with a shy face.

The old and the young sat and ate their meals, Pei Ju said: "I thought it would take several months to build the yellow book of taxation and service, but I didn't expect that Youyang was so good at calculation and statistics, which greatly saved the time spent on calculation and statistics. The above time, now it seems that the time can be saved by more than half."

Upholding the virtue of modesty, Xue Lang said: "Mr. Pei won the award because he happened to have learned the science of arithmetic, and because his subordinates are from a foreign country, and there are differences between the two places."

Pei Ju smiled and shook his head, stroked his beard and said: "When Youyang first joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the King of Qin once said to the old man that Xue Youyang has extensive knowledge, foresight and fine-grained knowledge, he is a rare talent. What is lacking is just an understanding of the customs and customs of our dynasty. It is appropriate to be transferred to the Minbu. In terms of the expression of our people's sentiments, there is no other place in the Minbu that can compare. Youyang stays at the Minbu with peace of mind and works hard. It will definitely make up for your shortcomings."

Xue Lang didn't expect such twists and turns in it, and felt a little ashamed. The so-called foresight was just because he was a traveler standing on the shoulders of historical giants, and the details were his own knowledge.Clasping his fists together, he said, "Thank you King Qin and Mr. Pei for your praise. Xue Lang must study hard and do things with his heart."

As he spoke, he scratched his head and persuaded the food: "Pei Gong, today's steamed fish is not bad, the soy sauce used is my family's secret recipe, please try it more."

This practical way of expressing gratitude made Pei Ju laugh out loud, "If that's the case, I won't be too polite."
