Chapter 59 Convincing Mei Bancheng with Virtue

Others shovel when the road is uneven.

The world still needs justice.

Ordinarily, as a person in the government, when encountering such a mass incident, Gao Wen should mediate and persuade both parties to calm down.As a mediator, there should be no position.Anyway, blindly keeping peace, let the people die and go home without offending Mei Liang.

Of course, Second Young Master Mei still has to be rescued.

But seeing the large group of ragged people in front of him, Gao Wen suddenly heaved a sigh of relief: This Mei Liang is a white-eyed wolf, and I have helped him so much.But when it comes to personal interests, this bastard turns his face and refuses to admit it, acting like a villain.For this kind of villain, if you don't give him some color to see, a certain person is unreasonable.

The world needs justice.

Justice requires great effort.

However, Mei Liang's martial arts seems to be slightly higher than mine, and he has so many subordinates.If you really turn your back on him, I'm afraid you can't restrain him.

This surname Mei is domineering, he is not afraid of the government.

Thinking of this, suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Gao Wen's mind, as if he had grasped something: Judging from what he saw just now, there were not many war horses at Meiliang's racecourse, and the natural conditions of this place It's really bad, and it can't feed so many big animals.So, where did the theory of keeping a thousand war horses come from?

By the way, it is said that this method of Ming Dynasty version of company plus farmers and land transmission is the thread of government offices at all levels in Xi'an Prefecture and Hancheng. It may be a political achievement project to fool the central government.

Definitely, as long as this kind of thing is not mentioned below, the higher-ups will be happy to give the court a beautiful data.Anyway, hello, hello, hello everyone, everyone has meritorious service and political achievements.

Later generations have seen too much of this kind of political achievements, so they naturally understand the tricks in the officialdom.

At that moment, I had an idea in my mind.

He smiled faintly and brought his mouth to Mei Liang's ear.

Mei Haohao was very displeased: "Gao Wen, you say what you say, you fart when you have something to say, and make a hammer secretly."

Gao Wen sneered: "Mr. Mei, it's not good to say this in front of everyone. I think your horse factory is not small. No wonder you produce so many good horses every year."

The words were meaningful, and Mei Liang's eyes changed, sharp and frightened at the same time, and he paused: "Please tell me."

Gao Wen whispered in his ear: "Mr. Mei is able to achieve such a career today, and I have to admire it. There is a saying that is good, jade does not compete with tiles. Looking at the situation in front of me, I am afraid that the common people Don't want to let it go. If there is a big trouble, it is not good to find out the matter of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds. Anyway, the high officials are called Mei Bancheng, and a little money is nothing. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, the young master is still Don't you feel sorry for falling into the hands of the mob?"

These words had already been said somewhat clearly, Mei Liang was startled, and looked at Gao Wen silently for a long time.Then he turned his head and said loudly to the people: "Everyone is from the village. You also know the nature of me, Mei. I like to convince people with virtue! According to the accounts, you are worth a penny and a grain of rice. I can't take it. However, since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, since we are all from the same place, and we are still close to each other, Mei will give out all the money for the second half of the year Here you go, no exception. Call the accountant!"

All the people were overjoyed, bowed down at the same time, weeping and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mei, great benevolent person, living Bodhisattva!" Although they said so in their mouths, their grateful eyes fell on Gao Wen.

It could be seen that these feelings of gratitude came from his heart, Gao Wen suddenly felt a sense of sublime, and secretly sighed: If an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and grow sweet potatoes.It's really cool to do good deeds and be a good official... No, I just have a small subordinate, what kind of official is I?

Thinking of this, I feel discouraged.

"Daddy, Daddy!" After the second young master Mei Longmei was released by the people, he rushed over crying.

"Slap!" Mei Liang slapped his son with a slap the size of a pu fan, knocked his son to the ground, and kicked him again: "You mother's prodigal son, I will kill you!" If this bastard son was not kidnapped by the mob today, causing him Throwing a mouse, he had already led his servants to disperse this group of unscrupulous thugs, and naturally it was not Gao Wen's turn to threaten the old man.Today's loss is too great, all because of this little evil.

He is a man who loves money like his life, and at this moment, he has the heart to kill his son.

Fortunately, the two servants hurried forward, persuading and persuading, and finally separated the father and son.

"Let go of me, I'm so bold, where's the tent, where's the tent?" Mei Liang roared as he struggled.

One of the servants said cautiously: "Go back to the master, the accountant ran away after the trouble before, and the ghost knows when he will come back."

"Bastard, Mr. No Accountant, the money and food will be settled by others. If he comes back, tell him to pack up and leave."

Without Mr. Accountant, things are troublesome.

The literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty was less than one-thousandth, and Mei Liang could only recognize a few hundred characters, which was barely enough.Telling him to write a few words makes his hands tremble, let alone settle accounts.

"I'll come, I'll come!" Gao Wen volunteered, he became more and more curious about Mei Liang's [-] war horses, and wanted to catch him.

Although I don't know what I'm using this handle for, it's always good to have it at hand.

In my heart, I was annoyed that the plum blossom was really hateful, and I wanted to beat him.

Mei Liang suffered a heavy loss today and was disturbed, so he said: "Thank you, Master Gao." Then he took his son back to the village to practice family law.

At any rate, he is also a talented student who graduated from 985, and it is easy and pleasant to deal with the running account of the Ming Dynasty.In just half a day, Gao Wen successfully checked the relevant data and distributed the land rent and labor money that Mei Liang owed the people for half a year.

All the people are naturally grateful.

After looking at the accounts for a long time, Gao Wen was a liberal arts student after all, and Meijiazhuang's accounts were very flat, so he couldn't see the truth.See if it's not early, let's just go back to Hancheng with two subordinates.

Mei Liang was also disgusting, causing Gao Wen and the others to stay up all night and not even give money for tea, causing the two yamen servants to scold them all the way, saying, "What the hell is it? As if we are not human?"

"Forget it, those who celebrate the New Year, don't talk about these unpleasant things." Gao Wen shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Mei really convinces people with virtue!"

Two days and one night without sleep, the two hundred miles back and forth, really exhausted Gao Wen.After arriving at the residence, I didn't want to say anything, and just fell asleep on the bed.

Young people doze off a lot, and when they wake up, it is already the next morning.

After waking up, Yun Mole did not cook breakfast as usual, and did not even boil hot water.

Looking at the cold kitchen, Gao Wen slandered: I just bought a master to take home, and... this master is also very edible.

That's right, it is worthy of being 1.7 meters five, the Ming Dynasty version of Sharapova, once you get familiar with the environment, you will let go of your whole body and appetite.

As usual, he took care of the hawker who bought sesame seed cakes for breakfast, and Gao Wen was full after eating only two pancakes.Yun Mole wiped out three of them in one go, and brought four bonus fruits and a big bowl of goat's milk bought yesterday.

Looking at her tall and slender waist of two feet, Gao Wen wondered, where did so much food go?
When we arrived at the yamen, I went to see Du Zhi County to report the results of Meilong's disappearance. The county lord's personal teacher, Mr. Lin, came out and replied with a smile: "Master, Hugh, come back on the fourth day if you have something to do." Then he cupped his hands again: "Master Gao ,Wish you prosperity and wealth!"

At this time, Gao Wen remembered that today is New Year's Eve.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, every New Year, all officials have to have three days off.Except for the Spring Festival, there are holidays on the first and fifteenth of every month.

Gao Wen: "Old man, you are also getting rich!"

Master Lin: "Master Gao, you have handled this case well. The Elder Master knew about it and even praised you. He said that you are a talent, and you are expected to handle criminal cases."

Gao Wen was elated: "The county lord praised it, but Gao Wen just inferred it according to common sense. There is nothing new under the sun. From ancient times to the present, this heart is still the same heart."

"Well said, it's not in vain that the old man values ​​you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gao Wenyou asked how the case ended.Master Lin replied that what else could be done. After Mei Liang returned to Hancheng, he locked Mei Long at home and was not allowed to go out.As for Xiao Meihong, an actress who eloped with Mei Longzhong in the troupe...

An actor actually abducted a good family member, Du County magistrate Lei Ting was furious, and ordered severe torture, including sticks and big boards. The people in the troupe were screaming, and Xiaomeihong's fingers were pinched off.

In the end, he was driven out of Hancheng directly.

Gao Wen asked curiously: "Xiao Meihong was driven away, did Mellon go all out to fight with his father?"

"What's the fuss? The bastards are ruthless, and the actors are ruthless. That little Meihong is just coveting the Mei family's money. Since she couldn't get a penny, she was beaten, so she didn't bother to pay attention to that infatuated Second Young Master Mei. It is said that in the courtroom, Xiaomeihua spit on Mellon in front of everyone, saying, "I'm blind too, I thought you were someone to take care of, but I didn't want to be a useless idiot, coaxing others to say There are mountains of gold and seas of silver at home, but I didn’t see a single coin, and my mother was almost killed by you. It’s my bad luck to meet you.’” While talking, Mr. Lin looked at Gao Wen with a smile: “That scene, what’s the matter? It’s really a bit like the thief nun who went to the execution ground in the Bao’en Temple case. Mellon’s face was pale at that time, and he wanted to commit suicide by touching the wall. In the end, he was slapped by Mei Liang’s two big ears, so he was honest.”

Gao Wen heard him bring up the old story again, it was strange to say that his old face was burning hot, he was quite ashamed.Na Na said: "When a person is young, his blood is first developed. Once he encounters someone who is a little bit more discerning, he will inevitably fall into a demon. When he grows older and has experienced a lot, he will take it lightly and know that he really needs one. What kind of woman. This woman is like the shoes on your feet. Only you know whether they fit or not. Mellon is usually controlled too much by his father. of."

Master Lin smiled and said: "Gao Dianshi said it well, the matter of men and women also needs experience, you have experienced well. In front of you, you love each other, but you can control the big details."

Gao Wen couldn't help but rolled his eyes, Mr. Lin's words clearly meant that he was at a disadvantage!
