Magistrate Zheng did not force it, and after reminding Gu Jinan a little, he let the matter go.

He knew that Gu Jinan was a smart man, and it was impossible for a smart man to give up on a powerful wife.

And being able to marry a girl from the Zheng family is really a blessing for Gu Jinan, a peasant boy.

Gu Jinan doesn't think this is luck. Although a strong wife family is rare, he wants a wife who is in love with him. Only when his future wife gets along well with him can his life be easy.

Respecting each other like guests, he felt that they were not a couple at all, but guests. Husband and wife should be like Luo Wu brother and eldest sister, Sanlang and Xiaoyu, with affection in each other's eyes, so that they can become husband and wife.

Magistrate Zheng looked at Brother Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng must be hungry all the way here. Follow the Erlang of the He family to get something to eat. Your elder brother will pick you up later."

Although Brother Cheng is young, he is smart. When County Magistrate Zheng mentioned this, he smiled and nodded: "Well, Brother Cheng is hungry."

Then he took He Yinsheng's hand and said, "Brother Yinsheng, you are familiar with the Yamen. Please take me to have something to eat."

He Yinsheng was not an idiot. After hearing this, he nodded, said hello, and left with Brother Cheng.

After they left, only the people who were going to take the college examination were left in the room.

Magistrate Zheng told them another story: "The college examination is different from the government examination. The capital will send an invigilator down, and the test questions also come from the capital. As for where the test questions will be issued, no one knows."

Having said this, he looked at Gu Jin'an and others and asked them a question: "Do you know what it means to be loyal to the emperor? What is forming a party for personal gain? What do you think about opposing the emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was frightened.

What does the magistrate mean? How could he ask them such a thing? Is this what they, as children, should hear?

Magistrate Zheng said: "You don't have to think too much, just answer honestly."

Gu Jin'an said: "The person who dies for the emperor should be loyal to the emperor; the subjects should be pure and loyal to the emperor. Those who form cliques for personal gain can be regarded as betrayal of the emperor. The same goes for establishing a heir. The emperor is the emperor, and what the emperor gives to the subjects is Yes, if the emperor does not grant it, then you should do your duty as a minister and a son of man, and you should not think about other things."

This answer is quite satisfactory, and can even be said to be flattering. But after hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said to the others: "Remember what Gu Jinan said, if..."

Magistrate Zheng stopped talking and did not finish his words. If these words are finished, it may involve the college examination questions, which is absolutely forbidden, so I can only remind them like this.

Magistrate Zheng said this specifically because he had received a letter from the capital and learned that the emperor massacred the eldest prince's family, even his own grandson.

This is a big matter, and the emperor is very concerned about it. He is afraid that his son will steal his throne when he grows up. He is also afraid that his subordinates will want to take advantage of the dragon, so they form a clique for personal gain and help his son to seize his throne. .

Mr. Zheng said that with the emperor's temper, the questions in the current Academy of Science examination are likely to come from this area, and the agreement that the emperor wants is already obvious.

Qi Kangming and others hurriedly stood up and said, "Student, thank you for your teaching."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng nodded with satisfaction. A big stone finally fell from his heart. He asked Gu Jinan with a smile: "How many days do you plan to have the flowing water mat at your home?"

People from all over the country were waiting to see him as the head of the government, and Village Chief He had been gearing up for a long time, waiting for his family to set up a running water mat to make Dafeng Village famous.

Gu Jinan said: "The student's home does not plan to set up flowing water mats."

Then he explained: "First, the students came back late, and they have to prepare for the college examination, so they really don't have time to worry about it. Second, they want to wait until they are admitted as scholars, and then we can do it together."

After speaking, a pair of eyes looked at Magistrate Zheng pleadingly.

Magistrate Zheng understood that Gu Jinan was afraid of trouble, so he laughed and said, "Sure, that's not bad."

After saying a few more words to Gu Jinan and the others, he let them leave.

Before leaving, he told He Jinsheng: "Call your grandfather, I want to see him."

"What? Jin Sheng, what are you talking about? The county magistrate wants to see me?" Village Chief He was so excited that his hands were shaking. He couldn't believe that the county magistrate actually wanted to see him in person. This, this: "There is smoke, we There is really smoke coming out of Dafeng Village."

Magistrate Zheng wants to see him alone. Such a happy event is enough for him to go back and worship God.

After hearing this, the people in Lianghe Village nearby were extremely shocked and asked Gu Jinan: "Master, the head of the case, does the county magistrate really want to see Village Chief He? Didn't he say he wanted to see us?"

"Bah, who do you think you are? You want to be received by the county magistrate in person." Village Chief He said proudly: "Stop joining in the fun and go back to the village. You have nothing to do here, magistrate." It’s me you want to see.”

I don’t know why the people in Lianghe Village are so excited? It’s not that the chief criminal has appeared in their village, but that the chief criminal has appeared in Dafeng Village, okay? !

The people in Lianghe Village have been criticized by Village Chief He for two days, and they are all thick-skinned. They no longer take Village Chief He's harsh words to heart and keep looking at Gu Jinan.

Gu Jinan nodded: "Well, Brother Jinsheng is right. The county magistrate really wants to see Village Chief He."

Village Chief He immediately became happy and said to the people in Lianghe Village: "You heard it, the county magistrate wants to see me!"

The people in Lianghe Village were upset. This village was different after the government office. Even the village chief could meet the county magistrate in person, and maybe even have a meal with the county magistrate.

Gu Jin'an said: "Village chief, you should hurry up and see the county magistrate. It's not good to keep the county magistrate waiting for too long."

"Yes, yes, we can't keep the county magistrate waiting for a long time." Village Chief He said, arranging his clothes, and after a good meal, he went into the Yamen to see the county magistrate.

Village Chief He thought that the county magistrate would praise him. After all, their village had raised a chief criminal, and as the village chief, he was not allowed to praise him.

But when County Magistrate Zheng saw him, he said, "Village Chief He, do you know you are wrong?"

Know your mistake?

Village Chief He was confused. What was wrong with him?

Master Zheng said from the side: "It's a good thing for the head of the government to return to his hometown, but you beat the gongs and drums and blocked the whole street. There were so many people that they almost overturned the mule cart of the head of the family. If something goes wrong at the head of the government case, what should we do in the court examination?"

After hearing this, Village Chief He was frightened for a while, and quickly knelt down and said: "The common people know their mistake and will never dare to do it again."

Don't arrest him, he is just too excited and wants to tell everyone in the county that the head of the case is from their Dafeng Village, and he has no intention of harming Brother An.

Magistrate Zheng just wanted to scare Village Chief He. When he saw that Village Chief He was afraid, he said: "If we don't do this next time, get up."

Village Chief He was still scared and said tremblingly: "Common people, thank you so much, Lord County Magistrate."

He knelt on the ground for a while before getting up with the help of Master Zheng.
