Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Talking about Qian Du of the Salt Administration Shocking Chi Yusi Military Affairs A Gui Walking on Thin Ice

It took a long time before Ji Yun woke up from the startle.There are disasters everywhere, officials are greedy, corruption cases are frequent in the administration, the queen is in trouble in the palace, the concubines are fighting for favor, and two princesses of Gulun died of illness.Qianlong was already full of Wuming.The Battle of Jinchuan was originally thought to be a "defeat", but now it is a scene of annihilation of the entire army. It is not surprising that Qianlong was furious.He immediately thought that for the banquet at Luqing Tower tonight, Lei Qiong, the acquaintance of Shuntian Mansion, the commander of the infantry, and several hall officials were present.If it is pursued, Qian Du's official position is low, and Ah Guixin returned to Beijing. He is the Minister of Military Aircraft, so he will naturally be reprimanded... After thinking about it, he asked: "Sixth Lord, I feel ashamed for your sadness. The emperor is busy. Military and national security, relief for the poor, but here I am having a drink with a group of scumbags. I am sorry to the emperor, and I am also sorry to you, Liu Ye!" He Shen stood by, he was very clear-minded He immediately realized that this was Ji Yun's trick to excuse himself. Seeing that Fu Heng had calmed down, he hurriedly twisted a cold towel and handed it over.While wiping his face, Fu Heng said in a trembling voice, "I've lost my composure. It's not because I'm afraid of the emperor's punishment. Putting myself in the shoes of the emperor, the ministers have failed the emperor a lot. No wonder the emperor is furious!"

"What else is the emperor's will?" Qian Du was thinking about building the Old Summer Palace.Gui Qing was his friend, and the day before yesterday he sent a gift of three thousand taels of ice, which he kept unopened in the cabinet.Something happened to Gui Qing, it is inevitable to have to be interrogated, and it would be a terrible thing to bite it out. Qian Du thought about it, and he was also busy, because he asked again: "Sixth Lord, please lead the troops, has the emperor agreed?" Fu Heng said: "The emperor doesn't understand. I walked away. I stopped at the gate of the hall, looked at the rain outside, and said after a while, "You go to inform Liu Tongxun, Yue Zhonglin, and Ah Gui, and hand over the sign to the Hall of Mental Cultivation tomorrow to discuss matters. Escaped generals Zhaohui and Hailancha issued a decree: Inspect Zhang Tingyu's property with Prince Hongzhou, and confiscate the edicts and imperial gifts issued to him in the past! After finishing speaking, they left without looking back."

A gust of cool wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard, carrying raindrops on the window, the window paper was immediately soaked and swelled silently, then, after a few faint flashes, there was the sound of rolling thunder like a drum .In the flickering lightning, the faces of several people were very ugly. Ji Yun broke the silence and asked again: "Why didn't you ask Wang Youdun to go in? What's the matter with Zhang Tingyu?" Fu Heng shook his head and bit his head. The lower lip pondered and said: "I don't know about this matter either. Zhang Tingyu made a fuss about sharing. The emperor felt a little disgusted with him. It was true. He had already persuaded him to stop. For some reason, he posted it again, and even Wang Youdun was involved... Please see me tomorrow for handing over the signboard, let’s do it according to the situation——I’ll see you, one is to inform Agui to go in tomorrow, and the other is to ask Xiaolan about the call for books for the "Siku Quanshu", how are the provinces doing now. You and I have to be very clear. Qian Du is the one I want to see tomorrow, so it would be better if I am here, and I have a few things to ask and do." Seeing that Qian Du was about to get up to answer, Fu Heng waved his hand, Said: "Don't make a fuss about the rules. One is customs lijin, grain and salt, last year's autumn tax, how much the household department actually collected, how is it compared with previous years, is there any deficit, and how much is left after filling the deficit; the second is disaster relief. How much grain is enough, how much can be used in stock, how much can be used in free warehouses in various places, and the situation of military grain reserves. Don’t go on and on, just give a rough report—I heard that Yulin’s large grain depot suddenly moldy 50,000 shi of millet, but some?"

"I went to check the big warehouse in Yulin." Qian Du laughed when he heard it, "Old millet is rotten and sesame, millet is the most resistant to storage. Yulin is the most arid and dry place. The grain warehouse is not only tall and strong, but also very ventilated. Okay. How could it be "mildewed millet"? Even the grain stored by Lord Kangxi during the Western Expedition was weathered and crumbled when twisted, but it was still not moldy. Maybe some bastard business filled his shortfall and made an excuse to fool him That's all for the court!" "This matter needs to be investigated!" Fu Heng's forehead twitched, "Go to the Ministry of Households and the Armory Department of the Ministry of War! ——You continue to talk."

Qian Du leaned back on the chair, and solemnly said: "Customs lijin collections vary from year to year. This year, silk, lacquerware, gauze, wicker, silk weaving, yellow and white silk, kapok, shimmering satin, and silk are exported more because of The number of looms in Suhangning has doubled compared to last year, and the harvest of mulberry leaves is abundant, such as porcelain and square bamboo. The income is estimated at more than 25 million taels of silver and more than 700,000 catties of copper. More than last year Thirty percent..." He is really familiar with the situation, from silk prices, porcelain, medicinal materials, food, tea import and export income, all of which are well known, and he reported in a concise manner, and also mentioned the meal time.He also said, "As for the deficits of the provinces, the Ministry of Households has not been ordered to thoroughly investigate them one by one. This can only be regarded as a private discussion with the sixth master. I went to Shaanxi to check the Xi'an Fan Treasury on the spot. The difference between the silver and the book is about five One hundred thousand, maybe a little more. Shaanxi is a poor province. If we use this example to infer, I estimate that the total deficit in the world is about 20 million to 30 million taels. It is incomparable with the hands of Yongzheng. , it’s still much better than when Lord Kangxi was tired.”

Thirty million is not a small number.In the forty-second year of Kangxi, Zhang Tingyu heard the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs that the provinces had a deficit of 15 million yuan, and his legs softened and he sat down.The world has changed over time, and now this amount can no longer scare people. The annual revenue of the imperial court is nearly 50 million taels, and after a few years of subsidy, it will be filled, so everyone is not surprised.Ah Gui smiled and said: "Our master is too benevolent. He exempts money and food every year. Whenever there is a disaster, no matter how big or small, he just gives relief. Otherwise, what is the point of this idea!" Ji Yun smoked a cigarette and said: "I most I’m afraid you’ll think this way! Since the forty-sixth year of Kangxi’s reign, Yongzheng has rectified the administration of officials and cleared up deficits. In addition, he has been in power for thirteen years. The library has been withdrawn? Now it has been taken out of the library again-they are tempting, first borrowed and then repaid, and then borrowed and not repaid. If you don’t collect 20 million yuan, it will be 30 million next year, and there will be another 40 million Fifty million, Yiyuhudi? Today’s officials are even cheaper than the whores in the academy—prostitutes accept customers, and they still show affection! This, only accepts money!”

Fu Heng was already in a good mood. Hearing what Ji Yun said, he smiled wryly and sighed: "What Lao Ji said is that if you don't guard against the lapse of time, the government will quickly become corrupted!" , the world is peaceful, and a little loss is not a big deal.” Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.Qian Du faintly remembered the message from Cao bustard saying that it was not easy to make a living in Nanjing, and that he wanted to take up the Sichang Fangzi, and brought his son to Beijing to find his father and husband, his heart sank suddenly, and a shadow appeared on his face.While in a daze, Fu Heng turned to look at him and asked, "Old Qian, where is the current office of the Baoyuan Bureau, and how many coin mints are there?"

Qian Du woke up from his stupefaction, and hurriedly said: "Tie Ying's impeachment document was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. I have read it, and what he said is not true. The Baoyuan Bureau is in the former Money Making Department, which is the Money Making Department. After some renovations, it cost less than 20,000 silver in total. The first four factories were located in Sitiao Hutong in the east, in Qianliang Hutong in the south, behind Qianfo Temple in Beiluogu Lane in the west, and Santiao Hutong in the north of Xinqiao in the north. There are about thirty-five casting furnaces in the factory. There are one hundred and eighty-eight furnaces in total." After hearing this, Fu Heng asked again:

"How much copper does Baoyuan Bureau use every month now?" "Back to the sixth master, eight Maos are cast every month——60,000 catties. Including the Baoquan Bureau, a total of 4 million catties of copper is used every month, and about 50 million catties of copper are used a year." "How is the ban on the factories that make copper coins and cast bronze wares among the people?" "Under severe punishment, who is not afraid?" Qian Du smiled and said, "I killed more than 300 people in Yunnan Tongzhengsi, and it was expedient and opportunistic. Now the emperor has a decree, and there are those who privatize copper coins to make utensils. All those cast by gathering drums will be punished without mercy. The factory, I dare say, is gone. I am afraid that it is inevitable that all the casters want to make huge profits and cast a few pieces of bronze wares in a small way."

Fu Heng tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid there is still a factory, but it's just covered up so we didn't find out. I checked, and Nanjing used more than 50 million strings of copper coins last year. When the grandfather was more than 20 times more. The merchant trade has only increased by less than ten times, and the money is still not enough. Where did the money go? You need to investigate! The official department voted for you to also serve as the minister of the Ministry of punishment. Two identities went to Nanjing, I will check with Jin Yu—I am worried that these desperadoes like 'Yi Zhi Hua' are using this method to collect money!" He breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Someone came to the secret paper and said that mining copper is worse than buying copper. You are an expert, I I want to hear your opinion."

When it comes to "a flower" Yi Ying, Qian Du's heart tightens again: Cao bustard is actually Yi Ying's subordinate Xiao Maoshen, otherwise why would Yin Jishan want to copy her academy?Now that I have an evil seed with myself, and I have to send money every month, how can I break this trap?Even for the matter of picking copper and buying copper, his money was also sticky to help him. He borrowed 10,000 silver from Li Shiyao.If "buying copper is worse than picking copper", the Tongzhengsi will have to withdraw the account of the government, and all the nets will be exposed, which is even worse... Qian Du panicked for a while, and then thought of serving as the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The case weighed heavily on the situation, so he was relieved immediately, pondered for a while, and said: "The foreign copper is imported from Japan, and it is worth seventeen taels of silver for every hundred catties. The price of Yunnan copper is eleven taels, and the shipping fee is about 10 taels." Six taels and five dollars. The price difference is about one tael. It’s a little more cost-effective to mine copper yourself.” "There are also various transportation officials posting fees!" Fu Heng ignored Qian Du's thoughts, and said to himself, "I'm afraid it will be the same after conversion... Besides, hundreds of thousands of copper workers gathered in the mountains, and some of them were stubborn and rebellious. If you are not paying attention, it is easy to cause big trouble." Qian Du already knew the mind of the No. 1 minister in Tianzi at this moment, and Fu Hengshi was so hot in the world that he couldn't insist on offsetting it.Because following his words, he slowly said: "Liu Ye is very worried. Therefore, the copper mines must be strictly controlled, and human rights must be killed for the copper governor. Buying foreign copper can only make up for the deficiency, and cannot be relied on completely. Mr. Liu, Japan’s copper mines are almost exhausted. During the Kangxi period, Emperor Masatoku of Japan ordered no more than 30 trading ships to Japan. It’s just that they want our goods, and they can’t exchange them with copper and silver. The Japanese court is also difficult to control— —They have long been anxious about the government and the opposition! Therefore, it is not appropriate to abandon our own copper mining, but also to find a way to buy more foreign copper, which seems to be a two-way strategy. … He was half-selfish and half-public, and his reasoning was so upright that several people nodded frequently when they heard it, and Ji Yun smiled and said: "It's no wonder that people call you a 'money ghost', you really cut vegetables with a horseshoe knife and spoon-the soup doesn't leak !" Fu Heng sighed: "How many people really understand economics now? As soon as you say it, he says yes, but he is still dazed and doesn't know what to do. Whispering in front of the emperor, to remove the copper mine, this is the emperor's order for me to ask you." "Speaking of 'Here', I think of Li Shiyao." Agui laughed, "He was a judge in Lishi County, and he learned from Tai Kaerqin to inspect the county. Mei replied. Instructing Li Shiyao to repair the Confucian Temple, he said "here!" The room was buzzing, and everyone jumped! Kaerqin, the largest official, scolded him at that time, "Are you scolding me?" In constitutional language?' Li Shiyao heard this, and said, 'Here...' in a weak voice like a dying sick man. "Kalqin was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he slapped the case and said sharply: 'I have been an official for 14 years, and I have never heard you say "here"! Don't think that I am so crazy because I am a special official of the court—the emperor is punishing me." You are from Shanxi!" "Li Shiyao just had a smirking face, and said with a straight face, 'You are an official in a lowly position, you don't know the rules, and you don't know how to call it so that you can meet the wishes of the Xuezheng Lord, please give me a "Hey", the humble position can do it...' " After Agui finished speaking, the three of them laughed loudly, and the dull and boring atmosphere of discussing government affairs was swept away immediately.Fu Heng took out his watch to have a look, got up with a smile, and said, "It's almost the time of Zichu, and I have to write a few letters when I go back. Friends, everyone has to hand in the sign. Agui, I guess Long Live Lord will ask As for your military affairs, you should sort out your thoughts—it’s raining a little outside, so let’s say goodbye!” After seeing off the three ministers, Agui washed up and then rested.Following Jinchuan's geography, weather, mountains, rivers and grasslands, he recalled Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi's deployment of troops, and thought about the unpredictable deployment of troops by his enemy, Sha Luoben, and thought about how to deal with it.Guessing what the emperor wants to ask, which ones should be answered, which ones should be reserved, and which places should be careful, so as to prevent leaks from being teased and separated by small people... One by one, I thought about it. The emperor has been in power for many years, and the court is full of cronies, disciples and old officials. If he doesn't kill his relatives, what if he makes a comeback in the future?How to leave room now?For a moment, I thought of the past friendship between Le Min and Li Shiyao. The happy building was full of wine and chatted freely, and Huangye Village invited Cao Xueqin to have a drink and a paper. Now it is "each of them has to find their own school." The grass is luxuriant and the tomb wood has been arched.For a moment, I thought about Zhaohui and Hailancha again, how could this pair of "red-robed generals" become "fugitive generals"—could it be... Could it be that Neqin, like Qingfu, had been "fugitive generals" before? Will"? Just like this heart was churning, Agui was flipping sesame seed cakes on the bed, and woke up with piercing eyes, resting his head on his hands, listening to the rustling rain outside the house, which sometimes tightens and sometimes slows down, and the slight sound of the wind sweeps through the alley, like a distant cry The sound of shouting didn't fade away until the fourth watch of the clock omission... During the half-sleep, half-awake, Cao Xueqin suddenly saw an oiled paper bag in his arms, pushed the door in with one hand, dressed as usual, his robes and shoes were as clean as dust Buran, square forehead, wide Ying, sculpted eyebrows and wide mouth, walked to the table with a smile on his dark face, carefully put the paper bag on the table, and said with a smile: "Jiamu, now I stand side by side with Fu Liuye, It’s the best. Your door is so hard to get in! The gatekeeper asked for a door bag, but fortunately, the little seven sons from Liuye’s mansion came to deliver a letter and recognized me, so he let me in!" "It's Xueqin!" Ah Gui greeted her with a smile, and while giving up her seat, she stretched out her hand to untie the oiled paper bag, and said, "Yang Yi Ju Yiqi. When the official becomes bigger, it's just that he doesn't change his mind, and he can't be the one to follow." Humans and foxes pretend to be tigers to bully people. You have studied nature and man in your pen, so what do you care about with them? They often come and walk around, and when they see me treat you close, they will naturally have another face...Is that so?" Cao Xueqin picked up the teacup, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "It's a pity that people like Liu Ye and you are becoming less and less nowadays. It doesn't matter if your body changes or your temperament changes, as long as your heart remains the same, you are a hero! How many times have you Send me a letter, you want to read the full version, I heard that you will go back to Beijing to pay homage to the Prime Minister, I'll rush to Ruozaowo to curry favor!" He laughed as he spoke. "This is a book to teach people to be smart!" Ah Gui said, "It seems to be full of love and affection, but it is actually talking about the morals of the world! For example, Brother Shi's high-level theory of "Wen dies to remonstrate, Wu dies to fight" is really thorough. ——Only when the ruler is faint and the government is in chaos, can there be a "literary remonstrance"; a defeated battle can have a "war to the death". What are the real benefits to the people of the country of the ruler? Helping the emperor to rule the prosperous world is not in vain." As he spoke, he flipped through the manuscript, feeling in a trance that the ink color was bleak and the handwriting was not very clear, so he closed the book again.Seeing Cao Xueqin smiling and saying nothing, she asked, "What are you laughing at——I mean right?" "I laugh at you for being too serious, and you're a bit obsessed." Cao Xueqin said, "This world is grotesque, and all dharmas are caused by fate, and all dharmas are driven by fate. It can't be explained by a 'Tao'. I don't remember Yang Zi's so-called 'a sheep lost on a forked road'" the anecdote?" Agui was stunned for a long time, but still felt the meaning of the words flickering and the meaning was profound. She shook her head and said, "I don't understand what you mean. Go back and ask Ji Xiaolan, he is also a very learned person—" Before he finished speaking, Cao Xueqin hurriedly stopped her Li Li: "Don't ask Ji Gong! You are all ministers of the state, what are you talking about these barnyard novels? Novels are for people who are leisurely and worldly to sober up, break their boredom, and pass the time. Don't go to that elegant hall!" Ah Gui laughed and said, "I'm just talking casually, you just turned pale and made a fuss like this? ——Xiaolan is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and also in charge of the Siku Quanshu. He has long wanted to read it. Let me introduce you—" Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps outside, He Shen hurried in and shouted: "My lord, my lord, Guijunmen... It's time to stand up and go to court!" ... Ah Gui suddenly woke up from a drowsy state, but saw that the paper on the window was dimly lit, the morning breeze was blowing the curtains, and the green lights on the table were glowing like beans. Yawning, grinning, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said vaguely: "—Whoever realizes the big dream first, I know it all my life!... Is it time to hand out the sign?" "Grandpa rested late last night, and then fell asleep again." He Shen brought Agui face-washing water, tried it hot and cold, put it on the basin stand, took green salt, poured mouthwash, and was busy with a bamboo brush Without pointing to the ground, he replied with a smile: "Several adults said at night that they would enter the Forbidden City early. It's almost Mao o'clock, so I'm afraid I'll miss my job. I dared to call you up." Agui hurriedly washed up After rinsing his mouth, seeing He Shen brought another plate of snacks, he picked up a piece and ate it, and said, "You're so courageous! I'm late with the army, and I'm going to make the master unhappy!" While speaking A four-person sedan chair has been prepared in the post station, and Ah Gui, dressed in court clothes, is well-dressed, and he lifts up the sedan chair to clear the way. One night of summer rain, I don't know when it has cleared up.This is the time when the day and day are the longest in a year, and it is actually already bright before Yinwei.The morning breeze at the beginning of midsummer still carried the coolness of the late spring. Although the sedan chair was not too hot, the big sedan chair fell in front of the big iron sign saying "Civilian officials dismount from their sedan chairs, and military officials dismount from their horses." Agui bent down and stepped out, feeling refreshed.Looking north along the way, in the gray-brown twilight, there were only twenty or thirty officials outside the Xihua Gate, and Fu Heng, Ji Yun and others were vaguely there. Agui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Well, it's not too late after all.While thinking, striding towards Xihua Gate, suddenly felt too fast, obviously unsteady, and slowed down again, only then noticed that around the Luxi Zhang Tingyu's house, there were three steps, one whistle, five steps and one post against the base of the wall. Standing like nails are some school lieutenants with knives, all of them are the government servants of Goshha and Shuntian Prefecture, who command the infantry.Ah Gui suddenly thought that this was the person who came to plagiarize Zhang Tingyu, and felt a chill in his heart.Seeing a disheveled man kneeling beside the big stone lion in the south of the Xihuamen with Huang Ling shackles and chains, Ah Gui couldn't help being surprised, but seeing Fu Heng smiling and beckoning, he rushed to greet him and said, "Morning, Mr. Six." ! I'm late to the post!" "You are really a bit late. You have to go in on the fifth watch of the military plane." Fu Heng smiled, "The princes and brothers have to go to Yuqing Palace to study at the fourth watch, and Long Live will start driving. After visiting the Buku, studying, and checking the homework of the elder brothers, and then passed on to the Minister of Military Aircraft to ask questions and criticize the papers, it’s useless to sleep late—but it doesn’t matter today. Long Live God first met Zhang Hengchen’s sons Ruocheng and Ruocheng, and then came down to meet him What about us!" Seeing Ah Gui peeking at that man, Fu Heng lowered his voice and said, "He is Zhaohui. He surrendered to the Liangjiang governor's yamen in Nanjing, and Jin Yu sent him here by order—you can go and see him." See you, a few soothing words. We've seen it all." Agui nodded and walked towards Zhaohui in silence.His action immediately caught the attention of Zhou Za officials, who only glanced at him from a distance, and no one whispered to each other.Zhaohui was wearing a shackle, knelt down with lowered eyebrows, she had already caught sight of it out of the corner of her eye, she only slightly moved her numb kneeling legs, and simply closed her eyes.Ah Gui came to the front, sighed softly, and said, "Hefu, it's been a long time..." Zhaohui didn't reply, just opened his eyes, then closed them again. "You're in good health, didn't you have a hard time walking along the way?" "It's okay. Please bear in mind." "Where's Hailancha? Aren't you on the same team?" Zhao Hui stared at A Gui with wide eyes. He knelt here for an hour. Bo Heng, Ji Yun, and Qian Du all came over to greet him. They only asked a few questions about their daily life and then left. Why did A Gui ask about the case?Thinking about it, Zhaohui shook his head and remained silent.Agui immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, changed her tone, and said sincerely: "I am concerned. I remember that you were hunting gazelle together outside Zhangjiakou, and you met in Chengdu, eating wine at Wufu Restaurant, and singing for that singing show. Xiu complained, fought with Diao Huangfeng... did you see Xiuxiu later? She is from Beijing!" "What are you talking about now? I'm a prisoner!" Zhaohui said coldly, and then asked: "Why don't you hang the court beads? Just like this to see the emperor?" One word reminded Ah Gui, straightened up and touched it, and sure enough, he was in a hurry and forgot to hang the court beads.Seeing that everyone else was hanging on, I suddenly panicked.He hurriedly said to Zhaohui: "Let's talk slowly when we find the time—reply well when we see the emperor—" After that, he withdrew and left, rushed to Fu Heng, and said with a smile: "I made a fool of myself, I forgot to hang the court beads, Seeing the emperor, Liu Ye has to make things right for me!" Ji Yun was talking to a Taoist priest next to him, when he heard Ah Gui talking about Chaozhu, he pulled the old Taoist over and said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce you , this is Agui Junmen, this is—” "I know the Taoist leader." Ah Gui smiled and said, "It's the real Zhang Taiyi of Baiyun Temple, the head of Taoism and seal script in the world! I don't have time to talk now, and I didn't bring my chaozhu. It's a shame to stay here for a while. It's gone!" But Ji Yun didn't seem to care at all, and said, "It doesn't matter, you don't care if Zhang Zhenren wants to court the pearl. Old Niubi has a way!" That real person was wearing gossip clothes and a Leiyang scarf on his head, with a dignified appearance, he was listening with a smile while twisting his beard, he couldn't help being stunned, and said, "Ji Gong, what can a poor man do for such a thing?" "You have spells?" "Ji Yun said: "Long Live God passed you on, didn't you tell you to avoid disasters? Just now you were still bragging about Taoism, you can capture things and get trust from thousands of miles away, and you can call wind and rain-you don't need to set up an altar, you can do it now Tell the Ministry of Leith to take Agui's court beads and it will be over!" Fu Heng, Qian Du and the officials around him all laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Zhenren couldn't help smiling, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't answer.Agui said angrily: "I'm about to enter the court immediately, and Ji Gong is still joking like this!" Ji Yun said: "There are so many officials, and they don't meet at the same time. Can't borrow a string—come——that's not a householder. Bu Lao Guo? You are of the same rank as Agui, lend him your court beads first!" Just as they were talking, there was a sound of rapid horseshoes coming from the south of the street. Several people turned their faces to look, and saw He Kun waving his whip in one hand and holding Agui's chaozhu in the other, galloping forward, rolling off the saddle far in front of the iron sign, and trotting , Panting in the mouth: "Guijunmen, your chaozhu..." Agui took the chaozhu and hung it up, calmed down, and said with a smile: "I have already borrowed it, can't I see you after looking at it?" "Master said What are you talking about!" He Shen is very beautiful, please get up, and looked shyly at a group of officials with brilliant plumes, and said with a smile: "Borrow or borrow, you have told me several times, this string of court beads Bring a few emeralds, which were given to you by the emperor himself, don't wearing this make you more honorable and honorable?" After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, and he slapped thousands of children at everyone, and returned to the south of the iron sign.Zhang Zhenren made a quiz and said: "Buddha of Infinite Life, auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance!" "Just don't be greedy for the power of heaven!" Fu Heng said, "When you see the emperor, answer according to the law, dare to talk nonsense, I have a way to punish you!" Ji Yun smiled and said, "When I see you, I will I think of a Taoist priest in our Zixia temple in Hejian. He is called Shanyue. He is best at exorcising ghosts, catching foxes, and suppressing evil spirits. The locals call him "Shanyue Immortal". A family in our neighboring village, Chaijiatun, has a son. Xiexiong, please ask him to practice the method of exorcising ghosts at night. Set up a case to offer incense, burn talismans to drink orders, swing a mahogany sword around the house to perform the method, and invite him to drink in the middle of the night. It has passed the third watch. The family wants to keep him overnight, saying that Majiapo There is a large area of ​​mass graves that are not clean and often haunted by ghosts, so I advised him to return to the city at dawn. The mountain moon god was half drunk with wine, and said boldly: "I am penniless and I am not afraid of being robbed. With this peach wood Swords, little demons and ghosts, who would dare to come close to me?!' Regardless of everyone's persuasion, he stood up and bravely left Chaijiatun..." Over there, Qian Du and several officials were chatting and greeting each other, and when they heard Ji Yun say that Gu Jier was talking about ghosts, they all came together. Fu Heng saw Qin Fengwu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and waved his hand to call aside, asking: "Yesterday You are going too?" Qin Fengwu said in a low voice, "Yes. They are from the same year, and they are climbing along to join in the fun. The ones who invited were Mr. Gui and the others again, so it's hard not to go. I didn't have enough time for the humble job. I just left...It is not good to mix with these people, and I know it." Fu Heng said: "This is your private matter, and I shouldn't take care of it. But you are the one who cares about me and has taken care of me. I have already asked the official department to draft you a prefect in Taiwan! Do you know what the status of this prefect is? Only the most trusted official of the imperial court was sent! Just to remind you, since you already understand, I will not say more. "Qin Fengwu hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you Liu Ye for your support and teaching! However, Ji Gong said that he would return the banquet, so I don't know whether it is better for me to go or not?" " Fu Heng said, "I just gave you a nod. The atmosphere is too bad now. With self-love, it doesn't matter how you do things." The two said a few words, and then returned to their senses and heard Ji Yun say: "...Walking to the outer hills of Majiapo, I saw the ups and downs of the chaotic house under the cool wind and cold moon, stretching for several miles without seeing the edge, the green phosphorous among the hazel bushes and thorns, the black cypresses and dark pines swaying in the wind, mixed with tears that seem to be crying but not crying Howling sound. Daoist Shanyue was shaken by the cool wind, woke up from the wine, and his heart trembled. Suddenly, the roots of his hair exploded and stood upright... "But at this time, when I go back to Chaijiatun again, I definitely don't have that face, so I had the guts to hold a mahogany sword in one hand, humming my love, and walked along the winding path half covered with white grass. I was walking , Under the dim moonlight, a figure emerged silently from a grave! "This is the cemetery where I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty. The Hejian defenders died in battle in the Ming Dynasty. There are no tomb robbers. The mountain and moon god knows that he has encountered a ghost... This is the first time he encountered a real ghost as an 'immortal'. The ghost suppressed the fear in his heart, his teeth were still chattering loudly, he held up the mahogany sword with trembling hands, half closed his eyes, peeped at the ghost, and muttered: Sincerely, Penglai Heavenly Fairy, real Lu Zhenren with pure heart and wonderful way. Swear to kick the teacher to promote the government, and tour the world to see the martial arts. Personally accepting the secret method passed down by Zhongli, he vowed to teach all students with his mana. Nine turns to Jindan Fangwaidao, a bright moon shines on Pengying. Travel to Cangwu and Beihai... I couldn't finish thinking, and saw the ghost getting closer and closer, but it was useless to invite Lu Dongbin, so the Taoist hugged the Buddha's feet eagerly, and recited: Um...well...well...ba...mi...moo... Taking another look, the ghost was still unmoved by it, and moved closer to it! "Shanyue Daoist saw that Taoism was useless and Buddhism was useless, so he yelled 'Oh my god!' and ran away. While running away, looking back, the ghost was chasing after him. At this time, he was frightened. Desperate, he threw away his mahogany sword and magic weapon, and ran wildly. After fleeing for more than ten miles, he saw a village. Shanyue was exhausted from running, and saw a family They went up and beat on the door, seeing that the ghost had already jumped on them, they didn't care to beat on it, and burrowed into the watery vagina on the courtyard wall. "Piana's vagina is narrow, half of his body is outside, he was dragged by the ghost's legs, and he was dragged outward desperately! Master Shanyue didn't even have the strength to shout, and he was pawing at the mud on the wall with both hands, just panting and humming. "It happened that the family lost a pig that night. It was almost dawn at this time. The old woman heard it, woke up the old man, and said: 'Listen, our pig has run back!' So the family got up to look, and saw a man with a head full of pigs. Sludge, I can't see my face clearly, half of my body is in the yard, half of my body is outside the yard, moaning and moaning, "Ghost, ghost...the ghost is pulling my leg outside..." "The long-term workers in the family were not afraid, they pulled out the latch and rushed out of the door." Ji Yun said solemnly, "Guess what they saw?" At this time, Maoshi has already passed, and more and more officials came to the court, surrounding Ji Yun with three floors inside and three floors outside, each of them stretched their necks on tiptoe and held their breath to listen quietly, sweating for Shanyue, and terrified of this ghost Vicious and powerful.Listening to Ji Yun's question, some said "it's a zombie", some called it a "drought demon", some said "it's a ghost seeking a replacement", and some said "it's a mountain spirit"... "It's a demon..." "It's not!" Ji Yun smiled and said, "It's the white lunatic from Chaijiatun—seeing someone come out, he lost Shanyue's leg, squatted aside, tilted his neck and smirked complacently!" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly with a "boom".Then I heard a male duck shouting at the gate of Xihua: "Who is making noise here? The Lord of Long Live is called Ji Dian! ——There is a decree, Fu Heng, Ji Yun, and Zhang Taiyi are sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see you. Zhaohui also goes in !” Everyone dispersed immediately after hearing the “record file”.Several people who received the invitation to visit looked at each other, saw that Zhao Hui had got up, nodded slightly in understanding, and filed into the Xihua Gate. Wenyi entered the Chuihua Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, just as a young official had just resigned, but both Fu Heng and Ji Yun recognized him as Liu Yong, the son of Liu Tongxun.Liu Yong only glanced at Zhaohui, smiled and called Fu Heng Jiyun Qian'er, and said: "The master is calling in! The Zhang family brothers are summoned, and they are about to come down." The three of them hurriedly agreed with a "yes!" and entered one by one with a steady mind.Zhaohui was carrying a heavy shackle, and followed behind with riveted iron cables, and immediately attracted the surprised looks of the eunuchs and maids, but no one talked about it.Then I heard Qianlong's voice in the hall: "It's hot outside, Fu Heng, you all come in——Zhaohui also comes in." "tie!" The four people stepped into the gate of the palace with one sound, neither high nor low.I saw Qianlong sitting cross-legged on the big kang in Dongnuange, and there were two fourth-rank officials kneeling next to Wu Hangzi under the kang, both of whom could be around forty-three or four.He is listening to Qianlong's instruction. "I just said it. You also pleaded guilty on Zhang Tingyu's behalf." Qianlong's eyes were dark, his face was a little tired, but his voice was very calm, "I just asked Prince He to check your property, and there is no intention of confiscating and adding crimes." Well! Zhang Tingyu was originally a respectful and respectful veteran of mine, and he wanted to be perfect until the end. But he couldn't trust me, so he repeatedly came to toss and asked me to write down a clear edict. I was so busy that I was dying. ?—It’s true that you don’t take him in your heart, yes.” The Zhang family brothers repeatedly kowtowed and said: "My father repeatedly ordered the officials to kowtow to thank heaven. He has already reflected on it." "Old and quit. He should reflect on this." Qianlong pondered for a moment, then said: "Searching property is not a punishment. I will not sin for these things——Sichuan Xuezheng Zhu Kui is your sister's husband's family, right? Someone He impeached him to join the army, but after investigation, it turned out that there was a real thing, a student in politics, and he had to drink the blood of soldiers! And there was a case of accepting bribes from candidates. His property has been transferred, and your family will naturally be implicated—— It's a shameful thing. But Zhang Tingyu is greedy, and if he doesn't punish him slightly, how can he warn future generations?——His entitlement is still in accordance with the original purpose, and the title of bachelor's degree will not change. He just wants to cut off the earl. No punishment for ministers If it doesn’t work, you will not be implicated.” He was silent for a while, and then said: “Kneel down.”
