Chapter 7 The seventh round invites Enxing to give porridge to the poor to bribe corrupt officials and demolish government officials

"Don't worry." He Shen was taken aback, quickly glanced at Qianlong, frowned, and said, "Speak slowly—is our people causing trouble? How do I tell you usually? This is the Son of Heaven. I'm under the imperial city, and the yamen in Beijing are denser than the woods. If you want to get along with each yamen, why do you forget about things?!" After he finished speaking, Geshu had breathed out, and only glanced at the three of Qianlong, and replied: "We don't know what kind of evil fire the Shuntian Mansion and the people are sending out! They just give way, they keep pressing, and eat The eyes are red like gunpowder. It snowed this morning, and we are here to build a porridge shed. In the empty field south of the Temple of Earth, it is still the place where the long fingers are here. It is leeward and sunny. When the weather clears, we come to take advantage of it You can enjoy the sun while eating, and you can go to the earth temple to avoid it in snowy weather. They also came when they talked, but they left without saying a word. Occupy. Master——the rice is already in the pot, and it is almost ripe. We insist on moving out immediately. I asked them where to move? They said, "Move to the north of Yuhuangmiao!" I said, "Jadehuangmiao is adjacent to Haizi , the big north wind doesn’t even have a tree to shelter the wind, how can there be a pot on the ice surface of Haizi?” , also ask Shuntian Mansion!' I asked him, 'Fayuan Temple, Dajue Temple, Sheng'an Temple, Miaoying Temple, Dazhong Temple set up porridge sheds with you? Monks can do it, can we do it?' Surnamed Hu People called him Mr. Hu, and said I'd hit him. I shoveled a shovel of snow and threw it into the pot. There were more than two hundred people waiting to eat, and they were all annoyed. A young man grabbed Hu A slap across the face. The people in Shuntian Mansion started booing, saying that Chongwenmen was beating people at the tariff. Now they want to arrest people, and a fight broke out after two slaps." He Shen gasped again, and asked: " What's the situation now? Has anyone been hurt?" Geshu said: "They are few in number, and the hundreds of people who eat porridge are all at the same level as us, and they were all overturned at once, but they didn't hurt anyone——there is a stiff place now. So, they sent people back to the yamen, saying that they were coming to arrest the rebels, and I ran over to report to you—what do you think at this point?"

When Qianlong and Liu Yong listened, they were already furious: It is your duty in Shuntian Mansion to provide porridge to help the poor. Not only did you come late, but you also made things difficult for others.This matter was caused by the people of Shuntian Mansion from all sources. Before Qianlong could speak, He Shen sneered and said, "You think I don't know what you are doing? If you don't make sense, you have to be stronger. If you take advantage of it, you can still get it." ? Your words are so clear, I imagine that your words and deeds may not be as gentle as you said at that time!" Ge Shu was so anxious that his eyes were like copper bells, and he pointed behind his red face and shouted: "My lord, you Go and have a look! Just his few people, 200 people rushed up, they will all die! We stopped and persuaded them, so the people didn't beat up the dogs!" He also said, and He Kun waved his hands and said: "Go, go, I get it, I'll go right away. Tell them, whoever acts rashly, I'll kill him and make him cry!" Geshu froze for a moment, and ran away with his arms crossed.

"Master, I can't accompany you anymore." He Shen waited for him to go far away, then turned to apologize to Qianlong and said with a smile, "There are all unruly people under me, so I have to restrain them myself." Qianlong asked, "How do you plan to make things smooth?" People from Tianfu?" He Shen said: "No matter which yamen is not the emperor's slave? Shuntian Mansion has the difficulties of Shuntian Mansion. There are many yamen in the capital, and they all quarrel with them. They will not be able to live. I myself To save face, you have to save face for others. I am also a courtier. Maybe the master will ask me to go to Shuntian Mansion in the future. He always comes to Chongwenmen, so I have to save face. The frightened group of people who are cold and hungry are enraged. If you do something, you will cause trouble for the master. This is the job of the subordinates, and Lao Guo may not know it, and the slaves will not let them down. It is auspicious to be harmonious."

Qianlong originally wanted to see it in person, but He Shen said so.He actually felt that he was more thoughtful and generous than he thought, nodded and said: "You go! Tell the people in Shuntian Mansion to find another place to sell porridge - they don't do anything themselves, and they are still jealous. You bastard!" "This man is too considerate of others." Liu Yong looked at He Shen's back, which was fading away, and said with a sigh: "I used to suspect that he was just trying to catch pets, but it doesn't seem to be the case. In the ranks, there is such a thing. The role of son is really rare." He said again: "What the master said is very true, the people in Shuntian Mansion are so evil, and it is because of their own errands that He Shen took the lead." Qianlong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Shuntian Mansion also It's dispatched, so you don't need to go to Xixiawa! Liu Yong went back to the military aircraft office, sent a court letter to the governor of Zhili, and summoned Shuntian Fu Yin. This is the snow. Let's see how many people are affected by the disaster and how to provide relief. , write it as an excerpt and play it—you don’t need to go back at night, the queen has something to say, and the pheasant soup she prepared will be rewarded to you!” Liu Yong agreed and thanked him, helping Wang Lian wait for Qianlong to ride the donkey, and said: “ I will send my master to Shenwumen—I also need to ask them about the placement of spring plowing and grain cultivation, and I must report it. Those who died of freezing and starvation will also be buried in the yamen. These are not trivial matters. I heard that in some places, grain cultivation Eat them all, and the government doesn't care!" Qianlong nodded his approval on the donkey.

... Here He Shen rushed back to the porridge shed in Shangdi Temple, and the two sides were still confronting each other.The two mu of land in front of the porridge shed was covered with snow and mud.There are also rags and rags scattered all over the floor, half dog-beating sticks, rotten bowls and broken cans, one can tell that there has been a lively fight just now.The general surnamed Hu led more than a dozen yamen servants to the west of the porridge shed, with sticks, ropes, shackles, handcuffs, and shackles, all kinds of instruments of torture, all of them staring at the porridge shed with livid faces, standing next to the porridge shed The most important thing is the taxpayers on the Chongwenmen tariff, and they are all drenched, their clothes are stained with mud, and they all stare at the "Mr. The chiefs of the country come to "make the decisions".There were men, women and children who came to take advantage of the meal, and only one tax man took care of them, waiting in line for the porridge. Several young people had sheep-killing knives pinned to their waists.Standing at the door of the porridge shed, looking sideways at the people in Shuntian Mansion.The complexion is not good for three times, it seems that as long as Shuntian Mansion makes a move, it will immediately fight.When He Shen arrived, he was already in a hot sweat. Several young men rushed forward and shouted: "You are from Shuntian Mansion? You are not allowed to go there! If you dare to demolish this stove, I will teach you three swords and six holes immediately!" Shouting "that's us and your lord", people made way for him.Seeing that nothing happened, He Shen let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Liu Quan, where is Liu Quan? Didn't he come?"

"Liu Quan is in Zuojiazhuang, and all the collected corpses will be transported there." Geshu said, "The first money for burning corpses in the people's hospital, and two yuan for each person. Mr. Liu was originally in the porridge market outside Xizhimen, so he called him Go! It’s really strange these days, sending them to be frozen and burnt will cost you money!” He Shen ignored his complaints, turned to face the group of government servants in Shuntian Mansion, and said, "I am He Shen, the second-class shrimp, the commander of Luan Yiwei, and the governor of Chongwenmen Customs. Which one of you is the leader? Please take a step to speak. "

There was no one answering, only Mr. Hu curled his lips in disdain. "Listen to me." With frost on He Shen's face, he straightened his waist and said in a loud voice: "Chongwenmen Customs used the remaining lijin to set up a porridge field, and I asked for permission beforehand. My emperor is as benevolent as heaven. According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, when there is famine or famine, all the governments will do their best to help. This is a kind act, not a place where Chongwenmen's tariffs are nourishing. Now that there is a sudden heavy snowfall in Beijing, all the princes also donate cold clothes and meals. Not to mention me, there is absolutely no reason why even a wealthy family from a wealthy family in Beijing should be forbidden to give porridge." He pointed to Ren Yi, who was waiting in line for food, and said: "These are all good people of the emperor, or they are not allowed to eat because of natural disasters. , or because of a poor family, they had no choice but to live in Beijing. Look at them, how well-behaved they are! This snowy day, we have tea and food in Beijing, wives and children are hot on the kang, and they are naked in the snow waiting for a bowl Isn’t it pitiful to eat? Even if I don’t set up this porridge shed in Chongwenmen, they come to your door to beg for food in this weather, and don’t give alms at your discretion, but they won’t mix snow in his porridge bowl, right? "

These words immediately dispelled the grim and violent resentment of the people, and the Shuntian government servants couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.There was a buzz of discussion and envy in the field: "Look at you and your lord, I didn't expect to be so sympathetic to the poor..." "Who said that officials are not good people? It's easy to practice in the yamen!" "Damn, The people in Shuntian Mansion really grew up eating shit and don’t understand human affairs!"... Someone shouted, "And my lord, Lord Wandai!" "I don't dare to be a prince for generations." He Shen was extremely calm, his eyes flickering: "Just try my best to deal with everything thoughtfully - I just came from Long Live Lord and I want to see you Guo Taizun. Please pass on the report Let me ask him to come and talk!"

As a result, the group of people in Shuntian Mansion suddenly became confused, several people whispered to each other in a hurry, and a yamen servant seemed to fly away.The man surnamed Hu hesitated for a moment, like a wild beast afraid of stepping on the spring, hesitatingly walked over, stiffly swept Qian'er, and said in a low voice, "Please pay respects to my lord, Hu Ke'an—it was just now." Disrespectful, please forgive me! My lord just said all the words are reasonable, but there are three things to say, each of which is different, and the whole of your yamen doesn’t treat us as human beings—"

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Na Heshen had no pretensions, and said with a smile: "What's the sense of propriety in what the subordinates say? Is it okay to care about it? If you don't know each other, you Ma Taizun is also my friend! Geshu—— Make a tent under the mat shed over there, tell the brothers to go in to shelter from the snow, and tell them to boil a pot of tea under the stove to make it--go, let's calm down, a yamen in the city of Beijing looks up to each other. One is to be reasonable, and the other is to be kind, right?" Seeing the porridge shed was steaming, he knew that the pot was boiling, so he went over to greet him: "It's called cooking! It's cold today, and there are only three hundred people, enough to fill us up , not enough rice!"

Immediately there was a clamor of cheers.Nageshu was quite methodical in handling affairs, and even in a hurry, he even made an appointment with more than a dozen beggars. They played lotus flowers in the dining hall and shouted together: My emperor sympathizes with the poor and the poor, Shi Chunlin is everywhere. We are born to be miserable, The characters are uneven and the fortune is blunt. Or because of floods and droughts in my hometown, Or fall old and poor due to illness. This is a prosperous and good people, It's a pity to leave home. It's so pitiful, it moves the dragon's heart, Hungry, porridge, rice, poor clothes. Like the nectar of Avalokitesvara, Enshi Wanfang has no omissions... The singing of Lianhua Luozi is interspersed with the sound of porridge sucking, children's screaming, and mother's scolding. People come and go with big bowls in the colorful snow, and they get out of the shed. Also quite strange.He Shen felt that cooking was done, so he set up a stool and sat under the mat shed. The boots were soaked, so he changed into a pair of dry ones. The emperor favored him, and he was about to use it. He was so excited that his breath was a little short of breath. Then he thought about how the people in the military aircraft department usually treat themselves neither cold nor hot, how can they get along well?I am also afraid that the young and high-ranking people will be jealous, how do I know that there are people in the dark who will set up a trap to make it difficult for me, so what should I do? ...In wild thinking, I saw a group of four people hobbling over in a sedan chair in the distance, and only five or six people followed.There are few people with me, so I don’t seem to be picking on me, so I hurriedly collected my mind, and shouted: "Geshu—Guo Taizun is here, and ask someone to go to any small restaurant in the Jade Emperor Temple to order a few dishes—no more than five Qian Yinzi—you greet me one by one.” He stood up, with a smile on his face. It was only after dark that He Shen returned home.This day is really happy like never before. Even though I am exhausted, my trousers and robes are soaked, a thin layer of ice is formed, and I am shaking when I walk, I still don’t want to go into the yard, and I still feel that I should do it Order something and drain all your energy.About the effect of those few cups of Yuhuchun, Xun Xun looked at the ice and snow world of the glass world with half eyes, and wanted to make a noise. At that time, the snow in the sky was much lighter, and Liu Quan directed his family to clean the stables in the back. When Jixue came back, he saw him standing in the doorway in a daze, and hurriedly said: "Master is back home - tell your wife quickly - Master, why are you standing alone in the wind, you are not afraid of catching cold!" The family members laughed Running up to meet them, patting the snow and blowing the mud, they were busy for a while. He Shen was clustered up to the second gate, and the inner courtyard was swept clean. In the courtyard, seeing him come in, the second aunt Chang bowed her head and said, "The meals in the kitchen have been delivered, ready-made winter solstice dumplings, Sicao hair extremely yellow rice porridge, and the Qidang from Zhuangzi in the south. Fish, I made caramel candy for you in my yard. The newly opened wine in our cellar, please warm me and have a few cups to dispel the cold..." "Where's your wife?" He Shen listened with a smile, walked up the room, and said, "Have you seen the imperial doctor? Are you still asleep now?" Then he heard a woman in the room say: "Master is back... help me up and sit down..." He Shen walked in quickly, turned around and said, "Second wife and sister Wu enter the room, bring the dining table here to eat, and leave a girl to wait on you. There are too many, the ones who come out and go in will bring cold wind, so as to prevent my wife from catching a cold again..." As he spoke, he went to the edge of the kang, rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "It's so cold outside. I'm frozen like a popsicle, and the room is so warm ..." Stretch out your hand on the charcoal stove to bake, while watching the wife's complexion; and said: "Don't come down, the table is placed on the kang, and you will be tilted. Take a bite if you like it; don't eat if you can't eat it. , it’s better to be casual like this.” Heshen's wife, Mrs. Feng, is the granddaughter of Wu Lian, an academician. She had just been confinement, and during the confinement, she suffered from wind and suffered from a headache, so she looked very cowardly.This is a young woman who has just turned twenty years old. She is wearing a maroon velvet jacket, trimmed with money lilies, and a fluffy magpie is tied around her head. The crow hangs on her shoulders. Clothes, with a somewhat pale face, a pair of exquisite and small hands that look like jade carvings, half of the body is leaning on the kang, very like an antique picture of a lady.Seeing her husband staring at her in a daze, she lowered her head and looked at her embarrassedly, and said with a frown and a smile, "I heard what was said in the yard. You are such a mother-in-law who is busy with important affairs outside, like a Jia Baoyu." He Shen With a smile, I wanted to say, "You really look like Xue Baochai's temper, and Lin's sister's posture".Seeing Mrs. Wu and Second Aunt Chang directing the two old ladies to bring in the meal, they coughed and asked, "Where is brother? Are you still sleeping?" "It's in the nanny's room!" The second aunt took the words, and while tidying up the kang tablecloths, she helped Feng Shi lean on the big welcoming pillow.While laughing, he said, "A blind fortune-teller came here today. The eldest son of the twenty-fourth master, Fujin, also came, and he listened to his calculations, saying that my brother was born rich and powerful, made his fortune at the age of eighteen, and had his palm prints at the age of nineteen. When you are seventy-five years old, you have to be careful when you ride a horse across the river—it is said that when you are seventy-five years old, you have to be careful when you eat. We laughed so hard when we heard it. By then we old goblins don’t know where we are !" He Shen heard that Mrs. Twenty-Fourth Fujin Shizi had also come, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's the matter with her coming? Has the matter of begging Twenty-Four Lord to name my brother been done?" Feng Shi was originally sick and lazy, and the whole family gathered together to talk and laugh, and suddenly he recovered.Said: "It's named Fengshen Yinde, and every word is kind! We laughed, and my brother stared at Heidou, look at this, look at that, and those who moved their arms and legs also laughed, laughed I pissed while laughing—what a pet! I rewarded that gentleman with three or two feet of head. Not because he counted well, but because he made everyone happy.” Although Wu is not a relative of He Shen, she Nor is it a housewife.When He Shen went to Liangzhou to investigate the case, he fell ill in a ruined temple in Santang Town. At that time, Wu was still a beggar woman. Thanks to her and her daughter Lianqing's full rescue, He Shen survived.He Shen is a person who knows kindness, and this mother, mother and daughter are his "nobles", so he brought them with him when he returned to Beijing.At this moment, he was eating around the table like his family, and asked He Shen with a smile, "Master, the twenty-fourth Lord Fujin brought a lot of honors, and even rewarded him with two thousand taels of silver. They are all wondering!" "Is this—" He Shen drank a bowl of hot fish soup, and his body was already warm, holding steamed buns in his left hand and holding vegetables in his right hand, and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky, turn around You ask the Second Aunt Chang." Wu then looked at the second Aunt Chang, and the Second Aunt Chang smiled and said coquettishly: "It's easy to talk about this kind of thing, just tell the master, she said that the method of the master is really good, if you ask me again, she will laugh, and then she will laugh." He pulled me to tell him a lot of things,—by the way, the second master brought Yu Suiqing's family today—that is, the younger brother of the husband named Gao Yuncong—here, brought a bag of things, and said yes What kind of case is due to the master talking with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so that justice can be obtained. They said that they came from Shandong, and it was something brought by Cathay Futai. They said that they would wait for you to come back, and they would leave after waiting for you. He Shen chewed A lump of mutton listened to her, and said after a while: "They went to Baoding, and they will be back in five or seven days.If I'm not at home, I must keep them.These things are not easy to collect. He asked again: "Who else has been here?" " The second aunt Chang served Feng a small bowl of four brown rice porridge, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, this rice came from the Spring Festival, you have a bad appetite, just this plate of Korean salted cabbage, it is easy to digest - there is also a dish called Haining , it turned out to be the observation master of Liangdao in Guizhou. He said that he was transferred to Fengtian magistrate and passed by Beijing. He didn't bring anything with him. He said he was a friend of the master. He came in the morning and said he would come again—if he doesn't come sooner or later, maybe he won't come Yes." She said, and He Shen said "uh", and said: "Haining is a friend, and he was a classmate in Xian'an Palace when he was in school. Since he came to Beijing, he must meet me—" He stopped suddenly, as if remembering What's important, staring at the candle without speaking. He often looks like this, and the family members don't notice it. Feng smiled and asked: "What's the matter again, looking like a fool? The first time I saw you like this, I thought you had something wrong." What's the symptom!" He Shen lowered his head to pick up the rice, and said, "It's nothing. I just remembered the first account of the tariff, and I will discuss it with Sister Wu after dinner later. If Haining can't come, I will rest early. He If you want to come, don’t wait for the second wife, I’ve been talking until late at night, and I still have a few letters to write, so I’m going to sleep in the front office tonight—ask them to warm up the room..." Everyone was speechless after hearing this.When the meal was over, the girls came to clear the table, and He Shen burped contentedly, and said with a smile: "I tell you good news, the emperor has met me twice today, and there are many words of kindness, it seems rich and honorable." When the time comes, it can’t be stopped. It’s definitely going to be a promotion. Especially at this time, there can’t be any mistakes inside and out. Everyone gathers firewood together, and it flourishes—everyone who comes is careful, don’t accept it easily Li, at this time, ghosts and gods are playing tricks, and it is easy to go wrong. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. Sister, go to your room!" Turning around, he told Feng Shi: "Take a good rest, take a few steps in the room after dinner to digest food, and finish the decocted medicine according to the amount..." After that, I came out and went to the East Courtyard Wu Come to Shi's room. This is a quadrangle courtyard that never changes from the old Beijing city. The main hall of Feng’s residence in the middle is a quadrangle courtyard, and the third entry is still a quadrangle courtyard. The west wing is the east wing of the main courtyard. The upper room, one bright and two dark, is the residence of Mrs. Wu. The east room lives in a man-made room and the west room is for her to gather her family to arrange housework. Because there is no north-south courtyard, this courtyard is particularly sheltered from the wind. A few pomegranate plants The berries on the tree were not picked, and they were hanging on the snow-covered tree. The soft branches almost hung down to the ground, and they could not be seen clearly in the dim night.He Shenyin took a step back from talking to Mrs. Feng. When she entered the house, Mrs. Wu had already lit the lamp. Her daughter Lianqing was also in the east room. She was only eleven or twelve years old, and she was already very sensible. She helped her mother fold clothes on the kang , Seeing Heshen coming in, he hurriedly got off the kang and squatted on Fuer, and said: "Good luck with uncle and master! I will make tea for you!" As he said, a girl came from the east wing with a large pot of boiling water. Heshen said with a smile: "'Master Uncle, that's an interesting name. I've added all the names of every mile and mile. I'm about to enter the military plane, so I should be called 'Master Uncle Zhongtang' again. What a mouthful! Come on, you're still weak, I Come by yourself, when you grow up, I am old too, just say 'Lengqing tea!' and pour it for me, that will be fun--" Even the girl laughed, and He Shen patted the little girl Lianqing said over her shoulder: "Mei Xiang, take Lianqing to the East Chamber, I will talk to Sister Wu." "My lord, just now you said that the military aircraft is true?" Sitting on the opposite side of the kang table, she took out the soles of her shoes, and asked busyly, "Isn't that also the same as Gui Zhongtang, who was appointed as the prime minister and carried eight sedan chairs in and out? It should be said that I have seen some people in the world now. How many people are Jinshi and Juren, and they are like crabs in the countryside. You are so young, and the large group of bearded old men below you can convince you. You?" He Shen sat cross-legged in the southern part of the Kang, sipping tea and said, "I have some shadows, and I can count them only when I hear the imperial decree. The Military Aircraft Department is like the housekeeper in a big family, and 'prime minister' is a greeting for foreign officials—— Because of the power, I can see the emperor every day—it’s good to be a servant with my status, and I can’t compare with Agui and the others—you said that Lao Gao’s family brought something from Cathay Pacific, what is it? I see Look." Wu smiled and said, "Here, it's right behind you, that bag is there. I didn't even look at it." He Shen turned his head and saw a package on the kang under the window, which felt very heavy when he weighed it... He opened it under the light and saw three small boxes in the shape of bookcases, with seals on them: There is no title and no inscription.He carefully tore off the seal, and when the first box was opened, he gasped in surprise. It turned out to be a bronze sword, with a slanted width from a narrow front to a rear grid, a round stem and a hoop-like shape. The bottom is shining brightly, and the authentic "ancient jet black", when you hold it up carefully, there are four characters "Li Sizhen Yong" in seal script, and a rhombus pattern engraved on the side.He looked at the old and antique one, and his pupils gleamed at a glance: This is an authentic ancient sword from the Warring States Period, it must be a relic of Li Si, and the value of this sword is more than one hundred thousand taels of silver!Seeing him in a daze, Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "What kind of object is this? Which blacksmith made it black in the furnace, and brought it as a gift!" He Shen felt his heart pounding, and opened the second box, but it was a Duan inkstone. It is not very outstanding in itself, but the edge of the inkstone base is inlaid with a thick piece of gold. The gold used is five or six catties. After finishing the work, I was dumbfounded.He Shen felt that his fingers were cold, he shook his fingers slightly and opened the seal of the third box. The red silk wrapped inside was wrapped into a happy character, and it was light when he picked it up. The leading bank notes that are redeemed at sight are brand new.There is another piece of paper, but it is a government deed; the title reads: This is another gift of a manor, not counting the fragmentary ones. The 3,000 mu of land in Tongzhou alone is worth half a million taels of silver in total! ... He Shen looked at the dense list of property in the manor at the back, already dizzy, the handwriting in front of his eyes was blurred, and he was walking on the paper like a tadpole... He put down the folded page in a daze, his heart was blank, as if he wanted to calm his mind, Thinking about things clearly and clearly, but all of a sudden it becomes a mess.Seeing him like this, Wu asked with a smile, "Why are you in a daze? Is there anything else that bothers you?" "Uh-oh..." He Shen just woke up, pointed to the three boxes and said, "Do you know how much this gift is worth? Eight hundred thousand taels of silver!" Mrs. Wu was using an awl to pierce the sole of her shoe, when she accidentally pricked her left middle finger.Ji Ling shivered, seeing that he was already bleeding, he hurriedly put it on his lips and sucked it, then lost his hand and said in surprise: "God! The governor of the country is rich and generous?! What did you do for him? Thank you so much?" He Shen rubbed the center of his brows with his fingers, and at this moment his heart cleared up - he had been tossing and turning in the officialdom, the market, and the world, and only now did he know what the "princes" like the governor and governor are up to.It has always been a luxury that officials at the prefectural level have never dreamed of!But since he is willing to come up with such a horrific number, there must be a horrific matter that he has to mediate. He said "thank you", but in fact, the few cases he spoke on behalf of the Cathay family in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were not worth thanking at all. Then there is something big to ask of yourself.But what big things can I do for Cathay Pacific now?Feeling unsure again... After a long time, he sighed and said: "Cathay Pacific's nose is smarter than a dog's, and its ears are longer than a rabbit's... He knows that I am walking around in front of Long Live God, so let me take a step ahead. ..." He also wanted to understand, so he refused to show pettiness in front of Mrs. Wu, and his tone became indifferent: "It's not a big deal. Put the things here first, and they will definitely have to talk to me carefully." As you said, if you can do it, you can help, or you can return it to him." Wu said: "I really obey you. No matter how big a matter you can afford, you can let it go-this matter is put on the small scale. The body and bones of the people are going to be soft!" After a pause, he asked again: "When you took over Chongwenmen Guan Rui, you cleaned up the accounts in front of you, and there was seventy or eighty thousand taels of legacy. It couldn't be used. After a few years, our family added people to import, and the stall also expanded. The monthly salary is 100 years, and more than 5,000 have been embezzled. Can get some supplements.” "Those things were still a problem at the beginning. The things worth tens of thousands of taels have no owner, and there is no account to check!" He Shen said with a smile: "Now it seems that it is about the same as the boxes in front of me. Because it is too late I failed in the two establishments, and I dare not say it! This is God’s care for me and Shen—you don’t want to lend money, and you will get a bad reputation if you spread it. Set up a pawnshop in Lianqing’s name or your name, With regular income, the family will be well off." He said packing the package.Looking at Mrs. Wu from across the table, I saw that she was wearing a tight-fitting double-breasted lake silk jacket, and her black hair was neatly combed behind a Suzhou prong slightly to the right, revealing her white neck. In the past few years of comfortable life, the original yellowish face has become pink, white and rosy. He is nearly forty, and there are no crow's feet in the corners of his eyes. Those small hands are holding the buddy, showing his white wrists and arms slightly.Smiling, the left cheek can be seen faintly in the shadow of the lamp, and the dimples of the wine are even pink... He Shen's hands trembled, and he was suddenly a little concerned. Mrs. Wu didn't realize that the expression of "Uncle He" had changed, and while drawing the needle, she said with a smile: "It's good to use my name to dare to be affectionate, so you're not afraid that I will be black-hearted and confuse you?" Seeing He Shen's description, his heart trembled suddenly, and he felt his ears burning, and he said in embarrassment: "Your tea is cold, I will refill it for you." He Shen said nothing, turned around and opened the curtain to look out through the glass Look, you can still see fluffy snow falling, the whole courtyard is slightly white, and it is so quiet that there is no sound at all.Turning around, Mrs. Wu came over with tea, smiled and put it on the table, before she left, she held her delicate hand tightly with both hands, and called in a trembling voice: "Sister Wu..." Mrs. Wu seemed to have been electrocuted first. Same body trembled, wanting to withdraw her hand, but He Shen's grip was too tight and she couldn't break free. She blushed, turned her face away and said nothing. "Sister Wu," He Shen stood up, slowly pulled her shoulders, and put Wu in his arms, with one arm around her waist and the other stroking her hair, and asked softly, "Is this okay?" Shi leaned on his broad shoulders, as if drunk, felt his whole body go limp, lightly shook his head and said, "It's not good... let people know what's going on..." As he spoke, he couldn't help hugging Stopping Heshen, he felt that the work on his waist was pushed against his lower abdomen, and he was limp like a ball of mud, and was about to slip down. He opened his eyes to look at Heshen, then closed his eyes and turned his face away, and Shen hugged her to the edge of the kang and leaned on the large pillow, and saw that the woman's starry eyes were full of shyness, her breasts were slightly exposed, and the peaks of her breasts rose and fell slightly during her shortness of breath, making her even more beautiful She kissed her lips with her mouth, and then pressed her whole body up, put her arms and legs together, put her tongue into her mouth and kissed wildly... At first, Wu Shi was only teased by him, Qing Dou was so full of lust that she couldn't care less about shame, she also stuck her tongue into He Shen's mouth and sucked and sucked and pumped and stirred, moaning happily and wanting to cry out.He Shen didn't say anything anymore. He tore off his belt with one hand, pulled Wu's hand firmly and squeezed it, then untied Wu's belt with the other hand, put his hand into his jacket, and smacked his tongue to speak in the air. "Sister, yours is wet too..." Wu's long-widowed and resentful daughter was aroused by his lust, while unbuttoning her jacket with her own hands, she gently pulled Heshen's hand to caress her breasts, trembling. He said in a voice: "... good... useful... Hao Heye, press hard... it won't be broken..." He Shen turned his head and blew out the lamp with a "thump", pushed the kang table away, and carried Wu's belly As soon as he tore it apart, he rolled on the kang with Wu's body close to his body... One end stretched forward, and the other gasped: "I have long wanted to repay your kindness... I have been waiting for several years... ..." Mrs. Wu didn't answer, she clamped He Shen all over her body like gum, and chewed the taste wantonly. ... For a moment, the joy of fish and water was extremely extreme, and the two of them rubbed into a ball, still unable to hug each other.He Shen kissed him and asked: "Sister Wu, how are you doing?" "In Santang Town, you take a bath, I... peeked at it..." "Know……" "At that time, there was only a wooden wall...you don't know how anxious I was..." "Why don't you go there? You... "Would you like me to go?" "...I don't know...Maybe I slapped you out..." "Really that cruel?" "... I don't know... I think you are still a child... Face and life are important... I am a woman, and I have to swallow all kinds of suffering... "Honey, why are you willing tonight?" "I... still don't know... think about lust... I've become bad too... you're bad too... you're so bad... you're really bad... you took advantage of me, and you said it was to repay your kindness... ..." After talking, the two got up and beat someone to light the lamp.Wu shi blushed while combing her hair, not daring to look at He Shen.He Shen, on the other hand, smiled nonchalantly, lying half naked on her shoulders and whispering, "Don't be embarrassed, Sister Wu. Everyone is like this. Is there a paper crotch in the iron threshold? Why are you so serious? Every ten minutes In a few days and a half, I'll repay you with an 'en', so you won't be lonely..." Mrs. Wu lowered her head and listened, then suddenly gave a "hush" smile, turned around and straightened his clothes for him, and saw that the job was pouting again. Wanting to straighten up, he flicked his finger lightly, helped tie the sweat towel and laughed softly: "Did you take the love potion? You're so immature! ——Since you treat me like this, I can only be loyal to you and The Baoguochen of the family - we should be more serious, and the pity is too big, the family is very sly, don't tell me what it is. Grandma and wife have always treated me kindly, I am afraid of them I know it won't work." "What are you afraid of?" He Shen smiled and pinched her cheek, crossed Erlang's legs and sat firmly on the chair, "Don't forget that this is He Shen's mansion, I lift up my pants and deny it! Hold your butt, Turned over to applaud her mouth without saying anything, annoyed and gave her a divorce letter to see who was at a disadvantage? I was outside with Chen Xixi and Wei Baobao. Feng's family and Chang Ergu both knew that they only dared to give me tonics. Who would dare to say anything? But What you said is exactly what you said, so that the family is in harmony and nothing is too peaceful to be prosperous." Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, and he came to the upper eaves on the snow, and He Shen looked at his watch, and Wu raised his voice. Asked: "Is it the brothers and sisters of Liu's family? Is there something going on sooner or later?" Then a woman answered in a loud voice: "Is the master talking about things with Aunt Wu? My man came in outside and said that an adult named Haining came to pay respects." "Understood!" Wu said through the window: "Master, let's go." He Shen stopped him and said, "Take him here. See you in Aunt Wu's west room. It's warm here. Let's talk later." Just take a rest in the West Room——you just tell the people over there in the conference hall, don’t wait for me!” Hearing the Liu family’s agreement to go, He Shen turned around and said with a smile: “It’s really a lucky day tonight. The two of us..." He put his mouth close to Wu's ear and said softly, "Your one is tighter than Chang Ergu's, so it's not easy to use. I'll teach you a few sets tonight—" He said again groping.Mrs. Wu opened his hand, smiled and spat in a low voice: "There are so many twists and turns in your belly! Ma'am, Ma'am, and what's the pity baby Aiai outside, Lanni in the upper room, plum fragrance is not enough for you to get angry Why are you so greedy...I'll get you a basin of water to wash your dirty hands, let the guests smell what they smell!" Then he raised his voice and shouted: "Cai's, Xiaohui! The master wants to meet guests in the west room, light the lamp, and add charcoal to the bottom of the kang." For a while, I heard someone answer from the East Xia room.和珅在水盆子跟前挽袖子，手伸到鼻子跟前，说道：“好香的味儿，是麝香！”接口便听院里有人笑道：“我不但给你带的有麝香，还有冰片呢！”和吴二人都是一怔，不禁失笑。和珅咳嗽一声掀帘，出了正房，见一个中年人已在门口，方白脸小髭须五短身材，穿着青缎马褂开气皮袍正在壁上挂油衣，和珅笑道：“润如兄，久不见面了，仍旧好精神！” “致斋大人！”海宁见他出来，笑吟吟趋前一步，口中说道：“今非昔比，我得给你请安呢！”和珅一把拉他起来，笑道：“别扯他妈淡了！忘了宗学里挨罚，一条板凳你跪一头我跪一头——咱们是患难之交，和我论什么臭规矩！”海宁一边随和珅西屋里去，一面笑道：“这么晚了，打搅你和夫人好梦，真过意不去。可我明日上午去礼部，还要去吏部，再引见，下午要赶着赴任，今儿不见就没时辰了……”和珅道：“我如今是骑虎难下，忙得昏天黑地的，起居都不分时辰。方才还在写折子，累得头晕眼花的，你来正好聊聊，我也换换精神，再接着写——不误事儿。来，给海大人看茶！”那屋里吴氏听见要笑，忙控住了口。 和珅和海宁在屋里分宾主坐定，细看时才见海宁脸色有些苍白，一边啜茶，笑道：“赶路累了吧？怎么瞧着打不起精神？上回来信收到了，因为知道你要调缺，左右是要来京引见的，就没有回信。贵州粮道虽说是肥缺，到底离家太远，家里人去，你回来，来来回回都化用到道儿上了。奉天府清淡点，却是要缺，那里勋贵旧臣多，皇上也时时去祭扫祖陵，升官是极容易的事，粮道观察是兵部专差，俗称'粮耗子'，窝在里头上不沾天下不着地，几时指望着吏部能想到你？我费了好大精神才把你弄出来，信里头意思还像不如意？你有什么想头，说说我听。” “我不是为调缺的事儿别扭。”海宁苦笑着摇摇头：“说贵州储粮道是肥缺那不假。就是不贪，单是新旧粮食换仓，往来运输折耗，每年也有五六万的进项。我四十出头的人了，钱也挣够了，再有几年提拔不上去，就沤死在那里了，所以到奉天我还是乐意的。我是生孙士毅的气，原说过我走之后，储粮道的缺指给我内弟的，他为这事打点巡抚衙门师爷上上下下，也化了几万，头天说好第二日挂牌子的，第二天兴冲冲去藩台衙门，挂出来的是李淳英！” 和珅听着点点头，说道：“这在官场是寻常事，不稀奇。” “我内弟自然不依，回过头又到抚台衙门去问。”海宁接着说道，“几个书办师爷也都莫名其妙，也帮着打听，原来李淳英把贵阳三春楼的头号婊子桃春娘赎出来给了孙士毅当五姨太太，连头面银子一并奉上，化了十万！再一问，李淳英是广州总督李侍尧的远房叔伯弟弟！” 至此，和珅已经心如明镜，拍拍他肩头道：“要这么说，我已经明白，你银子没人家多，根子也没人家硬。你原来是讷相的包衣，讷相坏事了，朝里没人当靠山，这才受人欺侮。忍一忍吧．孙士毅和李待尧是穿一条裤子还嫌肥的朋友。他还想补广州总督的缺。李淳英就一个子儿不化，也得把缺让给他！”海宁道：“我也不是省油的灯，带着我内弟到巡抚签押房去见他。平日见他还说说笑笑的，突然和我打起官腔，说粮道是军需重中之重，没有军功保举不能补缺，李淳英吏部考功、兵部考核过的，两部部文特荐，所以难以推辞。说要派我内弟到黔西运粮道上去，两年保出来，调个更好的缺也不是难事。我恼了，说'大人正在运动到广州，两年后我们到广州去给您当戈什哈？'他端茶我也端茶，不欢而散。”他顿了一下，又道，“我昨天到京，先去吏部，又到兵部打听。才知道吏兵两部压根没有李淳英的字号——查不出来，没他这个角色！先来寻你不见，我又去了怡亲王府，给五爷诉说了。王爷说我'你他妈是个窝囊废！孙士毅我一看就晓得不是个好东西，看人戴帽儿溜勾子舔屁股的红顶子官儿，上回进京各王府跑遍了，在乾清门见我避过去。这样的王八蛋，你给我整他！写折子来，我直接给你呈皇上跟前！'——和大哥，虽说我挨了王爷臭骂，心里真的痛快，当着王爷我哭了呢！”说着，深深透了一口气
