Jinghong Building

Chapter 418 Brother and Sister

The next day, Liu Baihu sued He Zongqun, who was living next door, to the yamen with a piece of paper.

Longxi is just a small city. Almost all the big families in the city are all military officials and they know each other. The death of Miss Liu has long been circulating in the city. Everyone knows that the couple of Liu Bai's family is in a bad state, and Miss Liu has no son. The husband had already planned to divorce his wife. Now that Miss Liu is dead, everyone thinks that Liu Baihu beat He Zongqun to death and vent his anger and get some compensation. This ends with this matter. No one expected that Liu Baihuju He Zongqun is suing him.

He Zongqun's identity and origin were also found out. He turned out to be an official and came to Longxi because he was excluded.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Longxi has always been a place of escape. The peddlers and pawns in the city may have committed a case and fled to Longxi.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that there is an extra small official in the city who has nowhere to live.

Long before Min Chen ascended the throne, the officials in Longxi were not appointed by the court, but arranged by the local generals themselves. Even if the court appointed officials and came to Longxi, they could not even enter the gate of the yamen, so they could only cry and go back to report their lives. , after a while, no officials were willing to come to Longxi.

After Wu Dongming raised the army, this unwritten rule was not changed. The magistrate of Longxi used to be Meng Zhong's aide.

After Meng Zhong's death, Meng Cheng replaced the magistrate with his own people. Now, Wang County was a scholar before. It is said that he bought the position of magistrate by packing his wife and sister to Meng Cheng.

Since Meng Cheng's death, Magistrate Wang has been worried, fearing that he, the magistrate, will be masturbated.

Liu Baihu's complaint was handed over, and Magistrate Wang felt that there was nothing to be tried. He Zongqun's murder had evidence and there was physical evidence. Wang Shusheng, who was the witness, was also the younger brother of Magistrate Wang's family.

Magistrate Wang immediately took a picture of the gavel, and He Zongqun was sentenced to beheading and executed.

That's right, the case of a magistrate in Longxi is so simple and crude. There is no need to report it to the superior yamen, and you can judge it whatever you want.

He Zongqun shouted injustice in the hall, saying that he was just a man-killing, and that it was Mrs. Liu who broke into his home first, and he mistakenly thought it was a thief.

But Magistrate Wang ignored it, and his personal evidence was there. Such a simple case, if the case was closed one quarter of an hour later, it would be that he was incompetent.

Two yamen runners stepped forward and dragged them into He Zongqun. The court was in the mass grave outside the city gate. Some people were already waiting to see the beheading.

At this moment, a singing voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Mrs. Chang'an is here!"

Mrs. Chang'an?

Why is she here?

Magistrate Wang didn't really want to see this lady in Chang'an. Meng Cheng was killed by the lady in Chang'an, but he was promoted by Meng Cheng.

Magistrate Wang stood up to greet him. He Shuting moved the lotus step slowly, and her eyes swept over He Zongqun's face. She didn't remember this clan brother, but she asked someone to check that He Zongqun did come from a branch of the He family.

"Oh, why did the lady come in person? Just ask someone to give me instructions to the officials if you have any questions." Magistrate Wang smiled all over his face.

He Shuting looked at Liu Baihu who had just knelt down and said, "Liu Baihu, I heard that you have no children yet?"

Liu Baihu hurriedly said, "That's right, the lower official has no son."

He Shuting pointed to a maid following her: "This is my wife's personal maid. She is eighteen years old and gentle and virtuous. I will betroth her to you. Is Liu Baihu willing?"

Liu Baihu was a rough military man when he was middle-aged. The maid was young and beautiful. Liu Baihu was surprised and happy and hurriedly kowtowed: "I thanked my wife, thanked her wife."

He Shuting smiled slightly: "No need to thank Mrs. Ben, because Mrs. Ben has the conditions."

Liu Baihu was stunned: "What conditions?"

He Shuting smiled: "Please ask Liu Baihu to withdraw his complaint and release He Zongqun."

Not only Liu Baihu, but also Magistrate Wang widened his eyes in surprise.

Liu Baihu immediately reacted, turned around and said to Magistrate Wang, "Magistrate, I will not complain. Please return the compliment to me."

Magistrate Wang. You guys have rehearsed this.

After a while, He Shuting took He Zongqun back to the general's mansion and shut up the people who served beside him. He Shuting blamed him: "It's true, why don't you come to Longxi to join me? If this hadn't happened, I would have I don't know you're here."

He Zongqun blushed: "My brother-in-law, my clan has invested all resources into me, but I am not good at it. Not only can I not support my clan members, but I can't even maintain my official position. How can I have the right to see you?"

He Shuting sighed: "Those who exclude you are all instructed, and they are working together to target you."

He Zongqun suddenly raised his head, his voice trembling slightly due to excitement: "Do you think they are being instructed?"

He Shuting nodded: "They are all Feng Xieying's people, so they were instructed by Feng Xieying, but this is actually just superficial. Feng Xieying clearly knows that you are a child of the He family, but it still makes people exclude you. Guess what's going on? ”

A layer of mist surged in He Zongqun's eyes. He was a smart person. How could he not have thought of something He Shuting could have thought of?

He just didn't want to believe it.

He Shuting understood it and looked at him with compassion.

"Brother, you should know why I came to Longxi."

As an official of the court, He Zongqun certainly knew about He Shuting's escape from Xi'an to Longxi.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Shuting continued, "We are actually the same, but she used thousands of troops to drive me away, but to you, it was gossip. Brother, we and her have the same ancestor, you Say, why did she treat us like this? She was forced to grow up outside back then, and that had nothing to do with us. Besides, after she returned to the He family, the He family had never treated her badly, and the He family didn't need her to report it. She can’t harm us because of raising her.”

He Zongqun still didn't say anything, but the blue veins on his forehead exposed his emotions at this time.

He hates it!

He Shuting burst into tears: "Brother, I'm very happy that you can come to Longxi. I'm finally no longer alone. I have a family member from my parents. Brother, you are my family member."

He Zongqun stood for a moment, suddenly, he looked at He Shuting: "You saved my life. Even if we have no brother-sister relationship, I will still be grateful. From now on, I, He Zongqun, will obey Mrs. Chang'an. ”

After saying that, He Zongqun knelt down and kowtowed three times. A hint of **** flashed in He Shuting's eyes. This kind of satisfaction of mastering other people's life and death, once she has possessed it, she doesn't want to lose it.

"Brother, I have no good generals available under my command. The military generals in the army do not take me seriously at all. I used to be alone, but now, I have a son, who is the only descendant of the Wu family. This Longxi Everything is his."

He Zongqun: "Don't worry, give me a month and I'll let these people use it for you."

He Shuting was surprised and asked, "Really? Are they really willing?"

He Zongqun: "They will agree."

When they were in Jiangnan, those famous families did not take the Ran Army seriously at all. Many of them were raising private soldiers, but in the end, these families were convinced and willing to take out the money.

In the capital, He Ran had just received a letter from He Dali. After Xiao Wenyuan joined forces with the Tartars, he captured seven or eight counties in succession, and even spoke out that he wanted to build the capital in Xi'an and use He Dali's head to sacrifice the flag.

He Dali was so angry, but now he was far away from Xiao Wenyuan, and it was not yet time for the two armies to fight.

He Ran asked Xiaoli to reply and asked He Dali to defend Shaanxi Province. Xiao Wenyuan wanted to build a capital in Xi'an, so go to dream.

Zhong Yi brought news from Fuzhou that Emperor Yonghe's empress gave birth to a son and was granted the title of crown prince, and the original Duke of Ding Jing Chongguang was the title of crown prince tutor.

In other words, Jing Chongguang was not only the regent, but also the crown prince's tutor.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He Ran felt that Emperor Yonghe was about to find a way to deal with Jing Chongguang.

Jing Chongguang regarded Emperor Yonghe as his son, but Emperor Yonghe did not necessarily regard him as his father. Besides, the royal family has no affection, so what if it is a biological father and son, let alone they are not biological children.

He Ran said to Zhong Yi: "How capable are the people you sent? Should you send someone to help me from Jinghonglou?"

Zhong Yi shook her head: "No, she is very strong."

He Ran said, "What I want is not the head of Emperor Yonghe or Jing Chongguang. If they die, their followers will pick up another Emperor Yonghe, and for them, children are far easier to mercenary than adults. ”

A sense of grief and anger surged in Zhong Yi's heart. There were no decent descendants in the Zhou family. From the moment the prince died, the Zhou family was finished.

The Zhou Dynasty actually had only one generation.

But these people were reluctant to give up, and they created some children from every corner that he felt ashamed of to act as his descendants.

Min Feng, who has been emperor for several years, is actually the Min family;

King Qi, a descendant of Zhou Wen, was long removed from the Zhou family genealogy;

Emperor Yonghe, even no one knows who his own father is.

Zhong Yi looked at He Ran again, you were not much better, so he found me a grandson on Hua Street to come back.

Then, He Ran saw Zhong Yi leaving angrily, probably going to Zhaozhu to vent his anger.

Xiaoli came in and brought Zhou Cangyue's letter.

He Ran was in a state of spirit, and I wonder what fun things Zhou Cangyue wrote.

Sure enough, Zhou Cangyue did not disappoint her. Zhou Cangyue said that he had built a village where there was a witch in the village. The witch said that she knew the past and present of a person. She said that she could tell Zhou Cangyue how he died in his previous life. She was rejected by Zhou Cangyue, but the white dog was I was very interested and went to the witch with Hongdou and Huangdou. The witch told them that all three of them drowned in their previous lives and died in the turbid river water.

The three of them were depressed for a few days when they came back. Could it be that they would be corpse-fishing men in this life? It turned out that they all died in the Yellow River in their previous lives.

Zhou Cangyue also told He Ran that he raised a panda, of course, it was free-range.

But he didn't know whether the panda was male or female. If it was a female, when it gave birth to a little panda, he would send one to the capital. There were many pandas here in Shu, and the children here rode pandas out to play.

Brother He Ran, are you playing with me?

Xiaoli stood outside the door and heard laughter coming from time to time. She also curled the corners of her mouth. Zhou Cangyue was too lazy, so he should write a few more letters so that the boss could laugh often.

After reading Zhou Cangyue's letter, He Ran was in a good mood and became more efficient in doing things. After spending an afternoon, he reviewed a basket of folds.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 49 days since King Zhao passed away. He Ran held a small ceremony. After the ceremony, King Zhao's page was completely turned over.

The preparations for the Women's Academy in Beijing have finally come to the time for formal enrollment.

With the lessons of Jinling Women's Academy, the Women's Academy in Beijing began to prepare for enrollment two months ago.

The evening newspaper has long since published advertisements that the women's academy will not be closed. As long as it is a woman, regardless of age, or marriage, no matter whether you are waiting to marry in the boudoir, or a widow, or a good family, or Maids and servants who sell their contracts can come to the academy to learn skills for free.

However, a contract must be signed. After the school is completed, the college is responsible for arranging the work. Every student who graduates from the college must sign a three-year work contract. During the contract period, he will have a monthly salary and a new one can be found on his own. Work.

However, in this era, there are very few people who read and read, and not everyone can see the advertisements in the evening newspaper. They mainly rely on word of mouth.

So on the day of formal registration, there were long queues outside the Women's Academy, including daughters-in-law and daughters of poor families, maids from wealthy families, orphans in the charity hall, and even nuns in the temple.

He Yamin sent four new interns. Since one meeting, He Ran proposed that morning and evening newspapers should go deep into the front line. So after the official exam this year, He Yamin was shameless and ran to the Ministry of Personnel to grab people. After a verbal battle, He Yamin successfully grabbed four new Jinshi and came to his place for internship. Two men and two women were all good at writing excellent articles.

One of the male Jinshi asked a female nun in line why she wanted to sign up here.

The nun told him that the temple had taken in many poor and helpless women. These women were all dragging their children and gradually became less than enough to make ends meet in the temple. They wanted those women to make money to support themselves, but they had no skills. They have to take care of their children, and they can't come here to learn skills, so the nun came by himself. After she learned, she could go back to teach those women.

The new Jinshi was dumbfounded when he heard it. He really didn't expect that he could still do this.

The maids from those wealthy families are even more interesting. They were sent by the masters, so that they could better serve their masters when they returned.

So, everyone only knows that you can go to school here without any training, but few people noticed that they had to sign a contract and would have to work for three years after they finished their studies.

Therefore, although many people came to register on the first day, only more than twenty people finally signed up.

Among these people, more than a dozen are orphans of Shantang. Not to mention only signing a contract of three years, they wish they could sign ten or twenty years, and it would be better to cover all their lives.
