Chapter 11 The 11th River Patrol Meeting for Wind and Snow Prevention

Li Fu lived in Luo Zhenbang's study that night.He had symptoms of insomnia, he drank wine at night, and was troubled, tossing and turning until four o'clock before he fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he felt extremely cold. It turned out that the stove was too hot and he kicked over the quilt.When looking at the sky, the window paper was transparent. Li Fu turned over in his clothes, washed up and pushed the door out. A gust of cold wind rushed towards his face with snowflakes, which made him choke. It snowed in the middle of the night.The two family members of Luo Zhenbang who were waiting next door rushed over to say hello when they heard the movement.Li Fu smiled and said: "I have been disciplined by Gui Gang, where are my two leather monkeys?"

"They are all young and sleepy." The older Chang Sui said with a smile, "Don't look at the sky, it's snowing, and the roof is white, reflecting the light in the room. It's early! Our master just came over and told us that it's cold. If it's cold, just ask for a change of clothes, and we'll send them over soon. It's snowing today. After a few rests, I dare to go in a sedan chair!" Li Fu said: "I love snow days the most, and I don't take any sedan chairs. It's only fifty miles to Longmen Yique. Hire a donkey and tell them two to follow. Zhenbang is Those who have business affairs don’t need to accompany them—they are all old friends, so don’t stick to anyone.” The chief quickly agreed: “Yes! But the master said, he must accompany. Ye Lai Tian Zhitai arrived in Luoyang, the day is not clear So I asked him to go to the posthouse to see the workers of Luohe River. Master Luo said, please wait patiently for him, he will come down before noon, and nothing will be missed."

Tian Wenjing is here?Li Fu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's really better to catch up sooner than later. Tian Yiguang came, why should I not see him? Didn't they go to Luohe? I won't go to Longmen today. It's such a joy to walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms everywhere!... Prepare me a sedan chair and go to the Luohe river workers." "There is a sedan chair, which is what our master often sits at home." Chang Sui smiled, "What our master said , Tian Zhitai knew that you came to Luoyang, so he must come over to talk. The master will no longer work." Li Fu thought for a while, and said: "Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go."

The magistrate's yamen was very close to the Luohe River. Li Fu took a sedan chair and crossed the Xiguan to the south. After walking for less than half an hour, he saw a vast expanse of wasteland across the sedan chair. A mirror-like river.Li Fu pointed to a dilapidated large temple on the east side of the road and asked the chief follower who followed the sedan chair: "It's such a big temple, whose incense is it?" It looked like this when I was a child." Li Fu stopped talking, seeing a few high-ranking official sedan chairs sitting beside the embankment in the distance, and a few people on the embankment standing in the cold wind and pointing at something, it must be Luo Zhen Bang Yigan people.Li Fu didn't wait until the root of the embankment, ordered the sedan chair to stay, got down, and walked up the embankment slowly. Sure enough, he saw Tian Wenjing, leading a group of masters and provincial officials to inspect the embankment.Because everyone was not paying attention, Li Fu was not in a hurry to see each other, and quietly followed everyone. When he glanced at Tian Wenjing, he was still the same as when he met in Beijing last time, but his hair was almost white, his muscles were thin His body was on the embankment, like a gust of wind could blow it down, he was wearing a golden pheasant mending suit, his slender braid behind the flowering coral crown was thrown high by the wind, and his beard under his chin was covered with ice.

"Zhenbang," Tian Wenjing frowned, pointing to the square stones scattered in the embankment, "you are becoming more and more careless in your work. These stones, the last time Master Qian Du came, said that there are still thousands of square stones left. It’s neatly stacked. If you can’t go to the riverworks in winter, can’t you send a few folks to guard it? The common people have been told to go back and build walls and stone troughs! The stones are bought with silver. If it’s your own, you’re willing to do so Ruin?" Luo Zhenbang walked with him, saying yes repeatedly, and said: "There is a festival here, the platform in front of the Dacheng Hall of the government school collapsed, and the Minglun Hall and the east courtyard wall also need to be repaired. The houses where several professors of government schools lived also had to be repaired. Wang Hanlin came to see it last time, and it was shameful. I said that the house really didn’t have the money. They said that there was no construction in winter, and there were so many troubles on the Luohe Beach Shi, it’s okay to move it over and use it first. Zhang Xuetai in the province also issued a letter to order it. Let them embezzle the humble job first, and when the spring starts—” “Spring flowers bloom?” Tian Wenjing’s rigid face did not have a trace of smile, Said, "There is a peach blossom flood in March, and a cauliflower flood in May. Temporary fundraising, is it too late?"

When he said this, everyone was stunned.Tian Wenjing seemed to be in a very irritable state of mind, sometimes he ran away without saying a word, and sometimes he stood and meditated.He was really not afraid of hard work, sometimes he would personally go to the slippery side of the dike and hit the dike with stones until there was a hole. Embankment, huh?! We need to find out if there is any embezzlement of money from river workers!" Pointing to the beach outside the embankment full of weeds and weeds, he said: "This land is at least 100,000 mu? How many times has the emperor issued edicts?" You are deaf and blind! There are so many idlers in Luoyang, but the land here is deserted—Look, Lao Luo, a sluice was built from the upper reaches of the Luo River to draw water in. "He patted the drying soil on his hands, and said coldly: "You can cultivate it all for me next year!" The adults reprimanded, everyone bowed their heads and swallowed saliva, and everyone's face was gloomy.Luo Zhenbang smiled wryly and said: "My lord, this piece of land is deserted, but it is owned by an owner, otherwise I would have reclaimed it long ago. If you don't look carefully today, you will know if you walk down the beach. There are graves in it." In the garden, the boundaries around an ancestral tomb are clear. This is private land, and the government is really helpless..."

"Hmm." Tian Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the barren beach again as if reluctantly, "Is it a private land?" He thought for a while, and didn't speak for a while.At this time, the wind and snow were getting worse, and the pieces of broken jade and viburnum were confused and confused on the vast river beach, sometimes splashing like wild waves, and sometimes rolling up and rushing towards the face like swift arrows. Some rolled up into snow pillars and danced, chasing each other unscrupulously... Li Fu was already covered in snowmen at this time. It is angry and funny.Yin smiled behind Tian Wenjing and said, "Yi Guang, you are so diligent. You are worthy of a role model!" Tian Wenjing turned his head and stared at it for a long time before realizing that it was Li Fu, who was smiling and bowing to him, and returned the bow when he was busy, his face He laughed, "It turned out to be Mr. Julai! Just now Zhenbang said you were coming, and he planned to visit after watching this section of the river project. Why did you come!" He was angry with Luo Zhenbang, "Li Zhitai is a guest. , Shangdi didn’t tell me!” Luo Zhenbang could only explain with a dry smile.

Li Fu and Tian Wenjing walked side by side for a while, and talked about his departure from Wuchang. Tian Wenjing was also very kind, and asked along the way, "I heard that you didn't bring your family with you. Why?" Trouble, I go back to Beijing three or four times a year, it’s easy to meet, why bring it to the office? Last time in Xiangyang, I met a county magistrate who was going to take office in Yichang, except for his wife, concubine, seven eldest concubines, eight aunts, three aunts and six wives, and master There are sixty or seventy book offices in total, and I dismissed his job at that time. Yichang is such a small place, and you have brought so many ghosts and snakes, and the sky is three feet high! I think there are many corrupt officials in Xichao. He's not a bad guy either, he doesn't stretch out his hand, he can't be a mother-in-law who loves her little ones, picks up other people's things behind her back, and boards the boat every time she goes back and forth." Tian Wenjing smiled "puchi" and said: "You go back to Zhili to be the governor, and your home is in Beijing, isn't it? Send them back to their place of origin?" Li Fu said: "Beijing is different, it looks like a watermelon outside, but it becomes a sesame seed in Beijing, with six ministers and nine ministers in the top, Ke Dao censors are staring at them, and under the imperial chariot, there are a few at home I have no choice but to restrain myself. I don’t want to go back to Beijing. I’m afraid of these things. I’m sealing off borders outside. I have the final say on everything. When you come to Beijing, it’s hard to be a corrupt official, and it’s even more difficult to do practical things. Disaster!"

"Well, this is an interesting idea." Tian Wenjing wanted to say, "Those 'ghosts and snake gods' are raised by fire money. The fire money belongs to the public. Officials eat with their salaries and money. Who would bring so many diners?" The words came to his lips But Bian changed his words, "It's a pity that all the officials in the world don't think so, and it's in vain!" Li Fu laughed and said, "Stop advocating your 'Yang Lian Yin'. Let's not talk about this today-look at this snow, It’s so good, if it’s in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it would be great to be dotted with plum blossoms!” Tian Wenjing looked down the embankment, and saw that the banks of the Luohe River had fallen less than three inches thick, and it was already a vast expanse of white, with a stretch of sandy beaches on the other side of the river. The white poplars are gray in the falling snow, and the scenery is not very clear.There was no snow left on the ice of the river, and the smoke was swept around by the wind.After a long time, Tian Wenjing said: "There is a proverb in Henan, 'Mai Gai has three quilts, and buns sleep on the head'. I would rather the snow be cotton—this kind of day—" He suddenly remembered something, and waved to Luo Zhenbang ordered: "The people I brought, please stay with Mr. Qian, and the rest go back. People from the Zhentai Yamen here in Henan Prefecture also go back. But they can't rest, and they will inform the counties to see if there is snow overwhelming them. Households and those who have no food, donate money from the county treasury. Some beggars have such a difficult life, so they asked Li Jiachang to take care of them and resettle them in the temple. Two things: one is not allowed to freeze and starve to death; Take a bite, and I, Tian Wenjing, tell him to vomit three liters!"

"tie!" Luo Zhenbang agreed, and hurriedly went to the back to give instructions. The driver, Geshhama, the bearer, couldn't wait for the sound, and stumbled down the embankment to call his servants to find a sedan chair, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.Luo Zhenbang rushed in front of them with a short, black and thin middle-aged man. Tian Wenjing smiled and pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Qian Du—Master Qian in my yamen—meet Master Li." Li Fu saw Qian Although Du is short, he has a vigorous look, his eyes are rolling around, and he is obviously a restless person. He is disgusted in his heart, but he took Qian Du by his arm and said: "Old man, don't be like this, I have plenty of time to ask you for advice!" Qian Du grinned and said, "Master Julai is famous all over the world. My student has admired him for a long time! Today we meet by the Tianjin bridge in the wind and snow, and the students are very destined." After speaking, he waved lightly to the embankment, There was a Goshha who jumped onto the embankment three times and two times, but he was holding a lot of coir raincoats in his arms, and when he shook it, there were exactly four pieces.Qian Du said again: "This day, the leather robes inside are freezing too! I asked them to borrow a few coir raincoats from nearby people's homes, not to avoid the snow, but just to keep out the wind. Yaxing!" The originally somewhat dull atmosphere suddenly became relaxed after he stirred it up like this.

"I've heard the name of Tianjin Bridge for a long time, can't it be done here?" Li Fu and the others shook off the snow on their bodies and put on thick coir raincoats. As expected, they felt that they could block the wind. How far is it from here?" Luo Zhenbang smiled, pointed to the other side of the Luo River, and said, "It's on the beach to the north of the small poplar grove. In fact, it's a very inconspicuous arch bridge, but it's famous. Scholars and writers often come here to meet and write in spring and autumn, and there are not many people come here." Only then did Li Fu know that the famous "Tianjin Bridge" in Luoyang did not cross the Luohe River, but was abandoned on the beach of the Luohe River. A place of interest.Seeing that Tian Wenjing was still in a trance, Li Fu smiled and said, "Still thinking about your 'cotton'? If you are such an official, most of you will be exhausted. Let's go to Tianjin Bridge to have a look!" Tian Wenjing smiled and said, "Come to Luoyang Five Again, either the river workers or the land reclamation, I haven’t seen any scenic spots, and I’ve lost my interest. Ordinarily, on such a day and such an open river view, there should be some poetic thoughts, but now I can’t get the limelight. " So the four tremblingly walked down the river embankment hugging the snow.Crossing a sandy beach and standing by the river, I feel even more blurred by the snowflakes and the world is confused.Li Fu looked at the green and stone-like river and said: "I'm afraid the water here is very deep. I stepped on the ice and fell into the water when I was a child, and I still have lingering fears. Walking on such a river is really cautious, like facing an abyss." Luo Zhen Bang laughed and said: "It's okay. Look, there is a big car mark on it. It was said that Li Zhitai was going to see Yique. How many times have I asked people to try it. You two big officials of the frontier, If something happens in my Henan province, I am afraid that Long Live will kill me, Luo Zhenbang! But the depth of the water is also true, and in summer, the draft of the boat can be unimpeded even if it has a draft of six feet. Last year, Li Youjie (Li Weizi) went to Shaanxi to fight Staying here, eating wine at the Anlan Building in the south of Luoyang City, the sky and water are the same color, and the gulls are forming an array, which is no less beautiful than the south of the Yangtze River. Several local celebrities have written a lot of poems!" "Reciting poetry again?" Li Fu asked. "He knows a lot of poetry." Tian Wenjing said, "He can go undercover and listen to the wall to catch thieves!" Qian Du walked cautiously, and said with a playful smile: "Lord Li doesn't have much ink, he is quick-witted, and he is born smart. But he also writes poems occasionally. Hmm... I went to Jinling on a business trip the year before last, and Fang Bo Fan Shijie was my manor. Mr. Fang from Fake went to visit him. He just joined him and asked Mr. Youyu and Mr. Jishan to go to Lanjiang Tower in Yanziji to have a drink. The teacher said, "Fengqing sends spring and autumn". Seeing Master Youjie scratching his ears and cheeks, I couldn't figure it out, so I also passed the sentence "The wild goose and fish go with the water"—I wanted to give him a little more thought, but unexpectedly he still raised his eyebrows after he finished speaking. Contemplating, Mr. Fan and him were very casual, and said, "What kind of poems are you poor beggar? Can I do it for you?" Suddenly, Mr. Yu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the river in the distance and said, "Brother-in-law Fan, don't talk too much, I will There are also poems. You see, the two fishermen stirred up the net and fought on the boat. My poem is "Two fishermen fight"!'" "This is a five-character poem," Luo Zhenbang shook his head and said, "How did You Yugong come up with six characters?" Qian Duren said with a smile: "The late student also said the same thing, 'This is a five-character poem, adults can delete the word "beat" Go. It’s just Ye Yun.” Master Li was very happy, and pressed my shoulder and said: “Your mother, do it well! It’s "Two Fishermen Pulling"-this poem is really wonderful!" Yin Futai said, "Your poem can't be called "wonderful" anyway! If you want to come up with such a sentence in the examination room, you should type it." And Yu Gong was stunned, pointed at me and said: "There is a "type" in my poem. "Word, did he force me to delete it!'" Everyone laughed.Luo Zhenbang inadvertently fell down on the ice and slid far away.Li Fu suddenly remembered the last time he participated in the impeachment of Li Wei for being "ignorant and incompetent". Compared with this Tian Wenjing, Li Wei was still polite and courteous to literati.Tian Wenjing is a scholar, but he just can't get along with the scholar, thinking about it, the smile on his face no longer exists.While speaking, the Tianjin Bridge had arrived. Li Fu looked at it carefully, and saw that the bridge faced Luoyang City from the south to the north. It was five or six feet long and two feet high. The pavilion is very exquisite.The four walked slowly on the snow, first went to the bridge to look far away, but the wind in the pavilion was like a knife, it was extremely cold, and they went down the bridge to the south. "There is a bridge here to keep out the wind, and there is not even snow, so it is warmer," Li Fu said with a smile, "—the bridge seat is like the style of Tang Dynasty, and the pavilion on it is rigid, in the style of the pre-Ming Dynasty—why is it called What about 'Tianjin Bridge'?" Luo Zhenbang said: "Luoyang was the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, scholars from all over the country came to Beijing to take the exam, and they all passed this bridge. It is like Qingyun intersection, so it is called 'Tianjin Bridge'." Li Fu nodded He turned his head and sighed: "It's been thousands of years in a flash. The bridge is here. What about people? The scholars at that time are today's Juren, and they don't write stereotyped essays. What a blessing! Look at this bridge, Luoshui was not big in Tang Dynasty! " Although Li Fu didn't say much, he stabbed Tian Wenjing unconsciously.Everyone knows that he is a down-and-out "scholar" who failed the Beijing exam three times and couldn't pass the "Tianjin Bridge".Everyone dared not answer.Tian Wenjing didn't seem to care, and smiled with the corners of his mouth hanging, and said: "There are four rivers in Luoyang, Yi, Luo, Yi, and Jian. In the past, they were divided into the Yellow River. Later, the Yi River was diverted and merged with the Luo River. It was dug through for the passage of boats—the Luohe River has the scale it is today. Chen Kang is not a Jinshi, and he did not jump over the Dragon Gate, but if he does this, the Tianjin Bridge will not be practical.” Li Fu knew that he had slipped his words and blushed. No words.Tian Wenjing stood in the snow, looking at the gloomy Luoyang city on the north bank, and said after a long time: "Zhenbang, I will go to see the Jianhe River into the Yellow River estuary project tomorrow, and then go back to Kaifeng along the north bank of the Yellow River. You are still serious about your work. If you have any problems, you should give me a push before you move. Listen to the boss's instigation and point out that we squeezed money from the provincial treasury in the same year. Tell you, Luoyang merchants are rich in the world. There are the most gentlemen in the Qianqing brand in the whole province, so we should make decisions from them. The money in the province is not from me, Tian Wenjing. You can’t even imagine how much a Yellow River would cost! There is also spring famine relief for planting grain and rations, Isn’t that all money? These rich households own property and sit and eat, without the court spending money to do these things, can they live in peace? He is an iron rooster, you have to have steel pliers to pluck the hair! Don’t be soft-this is for their good. Reasonable metaphor It doesn't make sense, so I have no choice but to be rude to him." Li Fu was listening, but none of these words caught my ear.Whoever is rich will use "steel pliers" to pluck out the hair, which is called robbery!There is a system for taking money from a majestic country, how can it be messed up?However, Tian Wenjing was adhering to the will of Yongzheng, so he could only go to Beijing to meet the emperor if he had a carload of words.Li Fu originally thought that Tian Wenjing would always stay in Luoyang for three to five days, so he took the time to chat with him, but when he heard that he was leaving tomorrow, he couldn't help being startled, thought for a while, and said: "Wenjing, I want to take a step to talk to you As soon as they gave up their hands, the two left the Tianjin Bridge and walked eastward along the bank of the Luo River. Now the wind has calmed down, and the Luohe River has been covered with half an inch of snow on the ice. Reflecting the dark stone embankment opposite, pieces of white feathers are falling endlessly, and there is silence on both sides of the frozen river except for the rustling of falling snow.After a long time, Li Fu said: "Suppression." "Well." "You want to be a famous minister wholeheartedly, it's too hard." "You're half right." Tian Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief, "Half of my heart is to be a famous minister, and the other half is to repay the emperor's favor. It doesn't take hard work, and only the Duke of Zhou can return to his heart." Li Fu sighed.What Tian Wenjing said was the truth.He has been a poor official in the capital for 20 years, and he has achieved a sixth rank through his qualifications. In the first year of Yongzheng, he went on a business trip to Shaanxi to announce the decree. On the way home, he used the imperial envoy to investigate the deficit of Shanxi's treasury and brought down the "No. 1 Governor in the World" Nuo Min in one fell swoop. In three or four years, Kaifu Jianya was promoted to governor, but one of the princes relied on Yongzheng's support, and he could only repay this "sacred favor" if he died of exhaustion.After a long time, Li Fu said: "I understand your thoughts. But there is a word stuck in my throat, and I want to persuade Brother Yiguang." "what?" "Treat the scholars better, and there are the gentry." Li Fu said, "This is where the country's vitality lies." Tian Wenjing stood still and stared at Li Fu, his eyes were no longer tender: "Of course they are'national vitality'. But Too much vitality, yang and yin decline, isn't it also a country's disease? If the fire is too big, you have to vent it. Pulling their hair is for the benefit of the world, and fundamentally it is beneficial to them and not harmful. These short-sighted people only care about the immediate Isn’t it terrible to forget the mistakes of the past? You see, this Luoyang was the domain of King Fu in the Ming Dynasty, and the land close to Luoyang was owned by the wine and meat prince. He was reluctant to give a little to the poor and reward the soldiers. The city was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and all the gold and silver piled up in mountains and seas were given to Li Zicheng as military pay! If you want to read Fu Wang's poems and look at his paintings, then you are not a first-rate beautiful scholar!" "I didn't say you don't want to be a scholar." Li Zicheng Fu suppressed the fire in his heart as much as possible, and said slowly: "Scholar-bureaucrats' face is more important than their lives, just like you and I went to the wild and were driven here by the government to build river embankments, carry stones, and fill mortar. Pei Xiaoyi of Peijiaying in Dengzhou, who had been an upright official of the magistrate for two years, died, leaving only five orphans and widows. He was expelled to Ruihe to build a bridge and unearthed. He was a person who had been appointed by imperial orders. He could bear such humiliation. Is it? The Xi Dynasty did not implement the system of raising honesty. I heard that a magistrate gave you 5,000 taels of silver to support honesty every year, but Pei Xiaoyi did not take this money! Corrupt officials usually collect money, and they are not afraid of you, who are "officials and gentry". Guang, this is the heart of a scholar who is too poor to study!" Tian Wenjing was walking, when a gust of wind wrapped in snowflakes rushed towards him, causing him to shiver. He collected himself and said, "I know about the case of Pei Wang's suicide. The emperor also approved it, and he wants to care for the orphan. But doing such a thing , there has never been a safe and secure place. Scholars and officials are for the world and the community, not for their own personal gain. So it is not a shame to be on official missions. After all, there are only a few gentry families who cannot afford official missions. You can think about it. .But scholars and eunuchs do not go on official missions, and the harm will be unspeakable after a long time." "Actually, I don't think it's a big deal. I've read all your notebooks. I think it's a bit unfounded to worry about." "I've also read your papers, and everything is stable," Tian Wenjing squinted, and said indifferently, "Nowadays, the government and the public have participated in dozens of my articles, and not many of them have any weight." "Putting seedlings to encourage growth, I'm afraid things will backfire." "If the piano is out of tune, of course it has to be changed." Speaking of this, the two stopped, and suddenly laughed at the same time - it turned out that the two had unintentionally exchanged a pair of words in their swords.Luo Zhenbang, who was standing by the Tianjin Bridge, saw it, smiled and said to Qian Du: "It is said that Tian and Li are in the same situation, I think they are talking speculatively!" Qian Du shook his head and said, "Don't you Knowing these grown-ups, crying is not necessarily sad, and laughing is not necessarily joyful. They are people who can only be moved by big things, and small things are not true. Have you seen this Fan Shijie? It is said that he is from the family of Fan Zongbing in Malingyu, even the emperor I was taken aback for a while. Last time I went back to Nanjing, one of his officials from the Planning and Finance Bureau made fun of him, saying that he met two children on the Shangya Road, and they called each other turtles. Said, "There is nothing that cannot be resolved. Tell them, how can a child be a "turtle"? Only an adult can be a "turtle"!" The official said, "This is what an adult said, and I dare not say it in a lowly position." ...'...Teacher Fan just laughed and cursed, and he can do whatever he wants when he comes down, like us——" He nuzzled Nu Tian Wenjing with his mouth, "If you show your teeth in front of him, he can kill you Get out of the study. When it’s time to do serious business, I still call you in and arrange it in a pleasant manner.” "Let's talk and laugh," Luo Zhenbang said with a smile, "Tian Zhitai refuted the case of the golden widow in Shanzhou. What's the story behind it? This case involves rich gentry and businessmen. These scholars in Luoyang are raging and want to go to Beijing to sue If there is something wrong with the examination, it will be too big. You know that Jin Shengyi is the head of the literati in the Henan government. After death, the soul is still there!" Qian Du said: "This is the hand of Master Bi. Widow Jin failed to collect her debts and committed suicide in front of Cai Jiaju’s gate on a thunderstorm night. Mr. Bi went to Shanzhou to investigate personally. Widow Jin usually does not leave the house. She is a weak woman who has no enemies and nothing else. Because of cause and effect, he advocated severe punishment and severe punishment. Cai Jiaju did not know where to ask for a tricky pen, and asked in defense: "How can a woman hang alone when the gate is eight feet high? It rains heavily in the middle of the night, why are there no mud on the feet?" Tian Zhitai said This is justified, so I sent it back for a retrial." Luo Zhenbang frowned and said, "This pot of rice is stuffed with raw meat. What do you think should be done?" Qian Du only smiled and said nothing.Luo Zhenbang hurriedly took out a bank note from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, saying: "The Jin family is indeed wronged, and we have collected some money to settle it. This case will be more interesting if it is turned over." Qian Du also accepted it honestly. He asked, "Did both the plaintiff and the defendant mention Luoyang?" "I mentioned it," Luo Zhenbang said, "I asked the court to go through a few rounds, and the two bites were very tight. There must be a way, and the case was decided in one round." Qian Du laughed: "I have a way, You can get it down without punishment and seek justice for the Jin family, you have to thank me!" Luo Zhenbang said with a smile: "That's natural, Widow Jin's nephew said that as long as he can show his anger, he is willing to lose his family and property. Now it is not allowed to collect fire consumption privately, so these things can benefit a little." Qian Du approached Luo Zhenbang, looked at Tian Wenjing and Li Fu on the far bank of the river, and said, "It's obvious, it was the people from the Cai family who changed the shoes of Widow Jin. Separate the maids and inspect them." Their feet, whoever wears that pair of shoes is suitable, even she and her husband will be sent to prison together. I will interrogate the person surnamed Cai in the future-the collusion of confessions is certain. Because of collusion, more people will know. You hand them one by one. Put them in the prison without mercy, no one will be able to support the move. If there is a breach, no one can stop it." Luo Zhenbang said with a smile: "You, Master Qianliang, have an unambiguous criminal name!" Qian Du Blinking his eyes and laughing, he said, "The two producers talked cordially, how do they know we're playing tricks here!" But the talks between Li Fu and Tian Wenjing have already collapsed. "Yiguang, I didn't interfere in your Henan government affairs. The way to make friends is righteousness!" Li Fu suppressed his anger and said softly as much as possible, "After all, you and I are in the same year of the provincial examination!" Tian Wenjing snorted With a sneer, he said, "You are gesticulating, as if Confucius sent you to teach me. It should be this way or that—I am ten years older than you, and I don't know what to do? Do you think you are The method in Hubei is good, but your vassal embezzled Kuyin. I didn’t do well, but I don’t have corrupt officials in Henan! You are a Jinshi, and you have the same year as your Jinshi, and Wen Jing can’t climb high.” With a slight ringing sound, Li Fu took a quick step and said, "I don't want to offend you at all. I just persuade you from the bottom of my heart. If you keep doing it aggressively and don't show mercy, I'm afraid that something will happen. The government governs the gentry. Gentlemen control the common people. You are rectifying the eyes, ears and claws of the government! Refreshing the government is like walking on the surface of an ice river, and it is too late to pay attention to every step!" "Suspicious." "what?" "I said you were suspicious." Tian Wenjing said coldly, "The fox was walking on the ice. He walked a few steps and listened. When there was a loud noise, he was so frightened that he backed up three steps! Look—" He stomped his feet lightly. "It's all frozen here, there's nothing wrong with it!" Li Fu blushed furiously.He couldn't bear it any longer: "I'm just giving way, but you look down on people so much! You've become an official and poisoned these scholars!
