Concubine

Chapter 231
Jiang Zhixian then continued: "There hasn't been such a big incident in these years, but last year, Yun Leng, the son of Yun Tianqing, the owner of the Miao village, set fire to the county yamen Wang Dianshi and his concubine. His inner house was also burned down, and he was caught on the spot and sentenced to death."

Hearing this, Yang Qiuchi understood. When he entered the yamen, he saw a large area of ​​burned houses on the right. It turned out that it was burned by Yun Leng, the son of the Miao village owner. That house should be the inner house of Wang Dianshi, and it has become a building now. ruins.

Jiang Zhixian then said: "This time, there was also a gangster who murdered and robbed Jiangyang who was beheaded together this time. He was also sentenced to be beheaded and executed together. I heard from Zhenyuan Prefecture that the 'nailed document' for these two people to execute the death penalty is the same. It will be here in two days. You came just in time, you have already accepted the seal, and our official business has been completed, so you will be responsible for the supervision."

Supervisor?Yang Qiuchi did not expect that he would catch up with the supervisor as soon as he took office.Before crossing over, he often participated in the autopsy work of the execution ground at the request of the court. He had seen a lot of people being shot, but he had never seen this ancient beheading.

The ancients believed in the heavenly law of "birth in spring, nourishment in summer, killing in autumn, and hiding in winter". Therefore, executions in ancient times were almost always carried out after autumn. Logically, now is the beginning of spring, and the death penalty cannot be executed. However, some major crimes If you are sentenced to death and "never wait for the time", you will not be subject to the restriction of Qiuhou Wenjue.

Later, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that all criminals awaiting execution would be interrogated by the most senior officials of the imperial court before being executed in autumn, and later formed "court trial" and "autumn trial".This formed the later system of "imprisonment and waiting", which means imprisoning and awaiting the autumn trial.After the "Court Trial" and "Autumn Trial", the death penalty will be executed again.

Yun Leng, the son of Yun Tianqing, the owner of the Miao village, was sentenced to "beheaded and executed", which means "never wait for the time", which means that the execution does not have to wait until after autumn.Therefore, Yang Qiuchi just happened to hit him now.

Jiang Zhixian coughed a few times, and said: "Yun Tianqing, the owner of the Miao village, thought that someone had framed his son. He led the Miao people to make trouble in the county town a month ago, and I arrested them. You can interrogate. Although Yun Tianqing, the owner of the Miao Village, has been locked up, Miao Zhong is very emotional now. When you supervise and behead his son, Miao Zhong may cause trouble, so you must be more careful."

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, it turned out that the old guy had left such a mess for himself and then slipped away. He would have come a few days later.However, Yang Qiuchi still likes challenges very much, and he is not afraid in his heart.

The magistrate of Jiang introduced Yang Qiuchi to this well-known family and well-known students in Qingxi County. At the end, he said: "Master Yang is so humble, and he gave me such a generous gift. I can't repay him, so I put the old I'll leave it to you as a follower."

Jiang Zhixian ordered his servants to go out and call the attendant.After a while, a middle-aged man came in, about 50 to [-] years old, with a hunchback and gray hair, smiling all over his face, and bowing to salute.

Jiangzhi County introduced to Yang Qiuchi: "His name is Chang Fu. He is an old man's servant for many years. He is dedicated to his duties and is very reliable. The most rare thing is that he understands Miao language. The relationship between the various characters in the novel is also well known, and he is the powerful arm of the old man. The old man has already resigned from the court and returned to his hometown, so it doesn’t make sense for him to follow me, so let’s introduce him to Master Yang as a follower.”

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. He was worried that he was not familiar with the situation in this area, especially the Miao language, so it would be difficult to carry out the work. Since this Changfu was personally introduced by the magistrate of Jiang County, of course the source was reliable and he had been working for many years. The attendant has rich experience and looks very reliable. What makes Yang Qiuchi most happy is that he is very familiar with the situation here.He nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang, for the recommendation."

Then Chang Fu was worried about Jiangzhi County's old age and returned home. He was very happy to hear the news, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi: "Little Chang Fu, I have met Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, thank you for taking me in." , from now on, Chang Fu will do his best to assist the master."

"Alright, get up!" Yang Qiuchi said.

After Chang Fu kowtowed to Jiangzhi County to thank him for his recommendation, he got up and stood behind Yang Qiuchi.

Jiang Zhixian also said: "The maids, servants, and mothers around me have been with me for many years. Now that I am old and return to my hometown, I don't need so much. My hometown already has one. If adults are interested, let them stay. , They are very familiar with this place, and some of them also understand Miao language, which can be used for shopping for vegetables and things.”

Yang Qiuchi was even more happy. These servants were all recommended by Jiangzhi County, and they were old house slaves who had followed him for many years. There was no problem with their origin.Then he said: "Okay, I only brought some guards and a few maidservants this time, and I was worried that there were too few servants at home. It just so happened that if possible, I would stay here."

Jiang Zhixian nodded. Some of these servants were sold to him, and some were hired.For those servants who sold their bodies, Jiangzhi County set a price, which was reasonable. Without further ado, Yang Qiuchi paid the money immediately and accepted the deed of selling themselves.

All the maids and servants kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi in the courtyard of the temporary mansion.Yang Qiuchi took a cursory look, and found that they all looked quite capable, and he was very satisfied.

After Yang Qiuchi asked Jiangzhi County for some advice on how to be an official here, he left, sat in the official sedan chair, and returned to the yamen with Chang Fu and a large group of newly recruited maids and servants.

Master Long is very efficient in his work. According to Yang Qiuchi's arrangement, the renovation of the county government office has begun. In several waves, some are responsible for repairing walls, some are responsible for changing furniture, some are responsible for renovating the roof, and some are responsible for tearing down dilapidated houses and rebuilding them. .

Seeing Yang Qiuchi's return, Master Long hurried over to briefly report on the progress of the project.Yang Qiuchi was very satisfied after hearing this, and raised his eyes to see that the construction of the burned-out inner house of classics and history had not started yet, so he asked strangely, "Why hasn't that one been moved?"

Master Long said: "The area is very large. If we need to start construction and redesign everything, I am going to ask Dong Weng for instructions on how to design it."

Yang Qiuchi was about to say that it should be built according to the pattern of Guangde County, when he suddenly remembered what Jiangzhi County said just now. The son of the Miao village owner burned the house and burned Dianshi to death. The Miao people are going to make trouble. For the rebuilding, let’s wait until the matter is settled. Anyway, there is no canon history now, so I don’t rush to rebuild, so I said to Master Long: “Don’t move this area, the ruined walls will remain as they are, and the rebuilding will be discussed later.”

Master Long agreed, and the reconstruction of the yamen has been properly arranged and progressed smoothly. Master Long and Master Jin began to handle the handover with the masters of Jiangzhi County.

Although the magistrate of Jiang County is old and dopey, the accounts and documents are still very clear, so the handover went smoothly.After the handover, the two masters asked Yang Qiuchi for instructions and issued a "guarantee bond" to Jiangzhi County to ensure that all matters had been handed over clearly, and all future issues would be the responsibility of the new official.Jiangzhi County set off and left.This is another word, press no table.

Yang Qiuchi asked the maid, servant, Lao Mazi and others to wait outside the inner yamen, and entered the inner yamen by himself.

The little black dog ran around with joy in the inner office, saw Yang Qiuchi come in, jumped into the living room, barked twice, then jumped out again and ran to Yang Qiuchi's feet.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the little black dog and stroked its smooth fur.Song Yun'er and the others heard the puppy barking, and knew that Yang Qiuchi had returned, and surrounded them like a group of chattering sparrows.They told Yang Qiuchi that all the furniture in the inner office had been replaced, the skylights on the roof had been repaired, the grass had been pulled out, and the toilet had been cleaned.They all look very happy.

It was already evening, and Yang Qiuchi walked into the living room with the little black dog in his arms and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

The girls shook their heads. They were so excited to come to their new home that they forgot to be hungry.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Hong Ling: "How is it? Hong Ling, your cooking is very good, let's show off today?"

Hong Ling blushed slightly, and sweetly replied: "Okay." After thinking for a while, he said: "However, we people are still good. If we add dozens of guards outside, the meals for so many people will be worthless. One cannot do it alone."

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "The food you cook is pretty good. From now on, you only need to take care of me, the three young mistresses, Mrs. Bai and our inner house. Tonight is the first night in our new home, let's celebrate, so you can make more food , plus you, Yuechan, and Liyuan Ke'er, let's have a good time."

Yang Qiuchi ordered those servants to be called into the inner yamen, and continued: "The guards outside make their own food. Today I bought some maids and servants from the old county magistrate. I'm so worried I can't bear it."

Hong Ling happily said: "The young master is really thoughtful."

After the group of servants came in, Yang Qiuchi said to Mrs. Bai: "I don't know if these people are suitable or not, so I will leave it to you to take care of them?"

Mrs. Bai has been smiling and watching them talking and laughing. She was a little surprised when she heard that Yang Qiuchi suddenly decided to let her settle down. She immediately understood that Yang Qiuchi didn't want to make herself feel like a superfluous person, and deliberately arranged things for her to do.Thinking that the child's heart is quite delicate, he was very happy, so he readily agreed.

Mrs. Bai has been married to Boss Bai Qian for many years, and she is very experienced in managing family affairs, much better than little girls like Song Qing, so Yang Qiuchi is doing his best.

With Madam Bai's arrangements, everything was in order soon.Yang Qiuchi's study room, the bedrooms of the three young mistresses, Song Yun'er, and the seven Liyuan girls have all been arranged, and the maids, servants, and mothers in each room have been allocated.
