Idle courtiers

Chapter 422 What is your bullshit ([-])

The two eunuchs are used to bossing around, and they can't afford to mess with other official Jinshi-born officials.Once provoked, it is to stab Qingliu's hornet's nest, and it is easy to be scolded as a fool with a word of "eunuch".But clean up a miscellaneous, they are relaxed and happy.

Hearing that there is not even a place to live, eunuch A got annoyed, pointed at Wu Miao and scolded: "How dare you, Eunuch Chen Hong ordered the prisoner Zhou Nan to be temporarily detained in the Daolu Division pending trial. Our family doesn't care, you have to do it for us." Let's find a place. It's so cold today, if you freeze a prisoner and ruin the East Police Department, can you afford it?"

Eunuch Yi: "Wu Miao, vacate the room for me immediately. If you need something, you can tell Chen Hong."

Eunuch A: "That room originally belonged to Zhou Nan, why did you occupy it?"

Eunuch B: "That's right, Mr. Wu, you don't mind."

The two of you talked to each other and accused me repeatedly.

Wu Miao was so angry that her face was livid, but she couldn't get angry.He has been in the officialdom all his life, so he naturally knows the trouble of offending the servants.What's more, these two eunuchs moved Chen Hong out.

He suffered the loss of not being a Jinshi, and no one would stand up for him when he was bullied by eunuchs. Maybe people in the officialdom would still see him as a joke.

The two clerks came out to smooth things over: "The two father-in-laws calm down, Wu Sizheng came to the Yamen for the first day today, and many things are unclear. Let's make the bed for Mr. Zhou."

Eunuch A: "Why did you come to the yamen on the first day? I think Mr. Wu is already old, and he is also an old man with official career. He really doesn't know anything... What are you doing standing up, why don't you make the bed quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone responded at the same time, quickly cleared out three rooms, and settled Zhou Nan and others.

Wu Miao had no choice but to spend the night in the concierge in desperation.

In this way, Zhou Nan was placed under house arrest in the Daolu Department.He returned to live in his former public house, and two eunuchs occupied the rooms on the left and right.

Soon, everyone brought a table of simple dinner. Zhou Nan had experienced too many things in a day today, and he had no appetite. After he couldn't eat two bites, he stopped and said, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep.

When he entered the room, the two eunuchs locked the door with a "click" and put a seal on the door.

Then he picked up wooden strips to nail the windows to death. Zhou Nan hurriedly stopped them and said with a smile, "My father-in-law, if you even seal the windows, how will I have food and water brought in? Isn't it going to starve me to death?" ?”

Eunuch Yi scratched his head: "That's right, we won't nail the windows."

Zhou Nan: "You two, may I have a word with Mr. Shi? Don't worry, I just explain some family affairs."

Eunuch A: "Master Zhou, you are a repeat offender. There is an order from above that no one can touch you while you are in the Department of Daolu."

Eunuch Yi: "Forget it, forget it, what do you want to say to someone, just the two of us are present."

Zhou Nan hurriedly said to Shi Wenjiang: "Wenjiang, I must keep my affairs from my wife and children at home. Go tell my family tomorrow, and tell me that I have official business, and I probably won't be able to go back in ten and a half months. Don't worry about them."

Hearing Zhou Nan's words, Shi Wenjiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, my subordinates know." Zhou Nan said that he couldn't go back in ten and a half months, so what about ten and a half months later?Does it mean that he will be fine when the time comes? Yes, we adults never let go of our words, so that's good, that's good.

The other people in the Daolu Department also showed joy, as if they understood something.

The "Peng" window was closed, and a seal was pasted as usual, and it was not opened until the meal was delivered.

Zhou Nan was lying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, with a wry smile on his face, and muttered in his mouth: "Is this considered shuanggui? Today is really dangerous. Fortunately, I saved Concubine Li and Xiao Wanli at the critical moment, and no one was killed. He was satisfied with the response in Jiajing, and the next step is to wait for trial. Naturally, punishment is inevitable, and this official cannot do it. However, at least one life should be saved. As for being an official, wait until the case is concluded, next year Just go to the Jinshi exam."

"Since you're here, you'll be safe. Let's stay here for a while, and review your homework by the way."

The examination of the Jinshi Department is called the General Examination, because it is held in the spring of February [-] every year, so it is also called Chunwei.

It's the end of August now, and there are still five months before the exam. It's a long time to say, but in fact it will be there in a blink of an eye.To be honest, Zhou Nan was not sure about this exam either.Now that this case comes out, he will definitely be dismissed from his post. Even if he wants to become an official in the future, he will have no choice but to take the exam.

"I'm always pushed to the limit by the situation!" Zhou Nan sighed in his heart.

That night, Zhou Nan's head still hurt a little, and his back was a little cold.

By dawn, there was no improvement.

Looking at the chest again, the wound is slightly red, and the temperature is quite high when touched by hand, it should be inflamed.

Our Master Zhou is sick.

But he didn't know that the assassination had been planned for a long time, and the stolen broken porcelain should be stained with something unclean.

The two eunuchs unsealed the window and asked the people in the department to bring in the breakfast.

Zhou Nan lost his appetite, so he said to the soldier, "Excuse me, can you ask a doctor to come back and give me the pulse."

The soldier was surprised: "Is there something wrong with Si Zheng's body?"

Zhou Nan: "It's not a big deal, I probably have a cold."

The soldier shouted: "It's not good, someone is here, Zhou Sizheng is ill."

"What, hurry up, hurry up and invite the doctor." There was chaos in the yamen.

Seeing this situation, Eunuch A asked Zhou Nan if there was nothing wrong, and said, "Master Zhou is very popular!"

Zhou Nan: "Governing the yamen is not like running the army, so you can't blindly exert prestige. It is also a kind of fate that everyone can work together, and you should convince others with virtue."

Eunuch A: "Sure enough, he is a teacher from Neishutang. He has good moral character."

After a while, the doctor came over, looked at the wound on Zhou Nan's chest, said there was nothing serious, and prescribed the prescription.

It's a pity that the important thing came too slowly. After taking the medicine, I still felt cold.By noon, the wound swelled even higher.Later, people also developed a fever.

Well, this time there is no way to review homework, Mr. Zhou can only curl up in bed to recuperate, this recuperation lasts for two days.

During these two days, Master Wu Miao and Wu were in extreme anger and depression.

That's right, there is no Zuo Zheng in the Dao Dao Lu Department, he is the head of the unit, but the people below don't seem to listen to him very much.

Once something happened, the officials ran to Zhou Nan's window to ask for instructions.

Everyone was still muttering below, who is Zhou Sizheng?Speaking of which, this case is not a small one. It stands to reason that Mr. Zhou should be locked up in the Sky Prison or the East Factory.But now it's all right, let him go back to the court to wait for trial.It can be seen from this that the prosperity of the lord's holy family will be able to recover sooner or later.

At that time, maybe he will go to the Ministry of Rites, not only the Daolu Department, but also the Senglu Department.

Yes, yes, that's for sure, we are a vulgar person, we only recognize Zhou Sizheng in our eyes, what else is it?
There are too many things that officials of the Ming Dynasty fell in the political struggle and made a comeback.Especially Zhou Nan, a close minister of the emperor, who seemed to be doomed at the first moment, might the emperor change his mind in the next moment and be promoted and reused again?
Wu Miao knew that everyone was upset that she withheld their work food, so she flew into a rage and reprimanded everyone again.

Everyone pretended to be sincere and fearful on the surface, but there was a trace of contempt in their expressions, and they whispered, Si Zheng, our place is a Qingshui yamen.The reason why it is valued by the emperor now is not that the Daoist Dharma Conference we are waiting for is well run, but that it is for the inner court to raise funds for the inner court.This matter is too important, and I dare not speak to outsiders.How much the Duyi can be sold, and where to send the money after getting it, are all handled by Mr. Zhou alone, and no one knows.

It's not that we are disrespectful to the Elder Master, there is nothing we can do about it!

After speaking, everyone had a faint smile.

Wu Miao couldn't speak for a moment. This matter involved the emperor's virtue, which was not visible.During the operation, he either explained to the Supervisor of Rites or Wang Fuda how he, a small sixth-rank official, could stand up to these big men.

But this matter is really important, if it is not done properly, the higher-ups will be held accountable, who will be punished.

After being bored for a long time, he said angrily: "You should go to Zhou Nan and let him handle the handover as soon as possible."

Shi Wenjiang continued to sneer at the side: Handover, what kind of handover, Zhou Zimu's work will be handed over to you, Mr. Wu, can you handle it, don't be pressured!

In this way, if something happened in the Daolu Department, everyone ran to Zhou Nan's window to ask for instructions.

Even if these things had nothing to do with Du Ju, the people below could bring them up, leaving Wu Miao speechless.

Smelling the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, and hearing Zhou Nan's faint voices of "Sizheng", "Zhou Sizheng", "My lord still ask for instructions", Wu Miao was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.He now wants to pray to the gods and Buddha, and ask the gods and Buddhas to bless Zhou Nan to get out of prison as soon as possible, as far as he can go.

If this goes on like this, it will be too boring to be an official.

On this day, Wu Miao was sulking in the public house, when she heard a voice: "Scribe Tu, go prepare some sedan chairs, I want to use them."

He looked up, but saw Zhou Nan talking to a book office over there.

Wu Miao: "Why did you come out?"

Zhou Nan: "Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair." Then he bowed his hands to Wu Miao: "Today is the day when I will go to trial, use the sedan chair in the department."

Wu Miao was furious. The resentment accumulated in her heart for the past two days completely exploded. She threw her teacup on the ground viciously: "Zhou Nan, you are a criminal and you still want to ride in the public sedan chair. What are you talking about?"

What kind of cow are you, what kind of cow are you?

Your hypocrisy has been seen through from the beginning.

What kind of cow are you, what kind of cow are you?

you never thought about my feelings

Zhou Nan didn't expect such a big reaction from him, and was stunned.

Wu Miao: "Zhou Nan, are you really going to court today? Where are you going?"

Zhou Nan: "Dongji Incident Factory, I guess there will be a conclusion today." Two days have passed since the incident, and I want to come to Dongchang to integrate relevant evidence and consider the severity.The attitude of the court in this kind of case has always been serious and fast, and it should not be delayed any longer.

If it drags on, rumors will spread all over the capital, especially when it comes to the dispute over the reserve position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.

There should be a verdict today, right?

Wu Miao suddenly showed a look of ecstasy: "Great, hurry up, go and prepare the sedan chair for Master Zhou. Good luck, Master Zhou."

Finally, this plague god can be sent away.
