I

Ta Potian laughed suddenly: "Haha, it seems that you have also heard the play, and you have some knowledge in your stomach. Where is your hometown?"

The rioter replied, "General Qi, the youngest family lived in Zongbao Village, Ziya Town, and the whole family fled to Duliu Town to beg for food. The time was bad, the sky was blind, and the whole family starved to death, just in time to meet the General for a major event."

"You're a gentleman, have you read books?" Ta Potian asked suspiciously.

The chaotic people handed in their hands and said, "I have studied in the village school for a few years, but unfortunately I didn't get admitted as a scholar, and my family didn't have any money to study it."

Ta Potian said, "I went to Zongbao Village to sell salt. Last year, there was a jurist in the village, called... What is it called?"

"Gao Eryan, the word is Zhongfu," explained the troubled people, "that's my elder brother, he is from the main clan, and I am just an offshoot. The youngest name is Gao Ershun."

Ta Potian recalled: "Gao Ershun? I have an impression, does your family live in the east of the village?"

The chaotic people said: "Exactly, the general has a good memory."

Tapotian finally no longer doubted, and said with joy: "Brother Gao is a scholar, so he will be my military advisor from now on. When I become the emperor, you become the prime minister."

"Thank you, General, the little one leads the horse for General." The chaotic people took the opportunity to step forward.

Ta Potian handed the reins to the other party, and said, "Mr. Gao, I plan to go to Yanshan County to start a rebellion. You can make a plan for me..."

Halfway through the words, it stopped abruptly, and a dagger stabbed into Tapotian's stomach.

The rioters twisted the dagger for half a turn, then pulled it out and stabbed it in again.

After stabbing a few times, Ta Potian slowly fell to the ground.

The chaotic people pulled out their slashing swords, and quickly turned on their horses. Without waiting for the other chaotic people to react, they rode their horses and slashed with their sabers, shouting, "Ziya Town's leader, Gao Eryan, is here!"

All the thieves were startled and fled in all directions.

Gao Eryan immediately turned around, cut off the head of the sky, and ran his horse in the direction of Duliu Town.

"Da da da da!"

After running for a while, the sound of horse hooves came from the wilderness.

Gao Eryan reined in his horse and shouted, "Who is coming from the other side?"

Wei Jianxiong responded, "Wei Jianxiong, a general under the King of Jinghai County!"

Gao Eryan held up his head and said, "I am Gao Eryan in the town of Ziya, the thief's head has already been killed after stepping on the sky, and the head is here!"

Chapter 012: Adopted Son? 】

Duliu Town Inspection Department Yamen, covering an area of ​​two acres, is located in the north of the town center. At this moment, it is the temporary office of Wang Zhi County.

The night attack was over, and it seemed that it wasn't over yet.

There were more than 500 villagers, but if they were thrown out, they could not be taken back. They chased after them indiscriminately, and more than 40 people did not return at dawn.

"Xianzun, Wei Zhuangshi asks to see you."

"Please come in."

Wei Jianxiong stepped into the main hall of the inspection department, and said, "Your honor, the thief's head has been slaughtered."

Wang Yongshi was surprised and said, "Really? Have you ever verified your identity?"

Wei Jianxiong was covered in blood and had white brains on his chest. He replied, "On the way back, I have already experienced it, and I have no doubt that I will break through the sky. According to the thieves who surrendered, this animal is called Liu Changlin, and it belongs to Kuanhe Village, Duliu Town. He lives by selling soil and salt. His parents and brothers have all died of illness for many years, and one of his eldest sisters married to Tang Guantun.”

Wang Yongshi asked, "Who captured and beheaded the thief?"

Wei Jianxiong said: "Jinghai County is a leader of Gao Eryan."

"It turned out to be him," Wang Yongshi said with a smile, "Quickly, please come in and speak."

Gao Eryan was quickly brought in, with his hair still disheveled and wearing a nondescript silk dress.

Fei Yinghuan next to him smiled and said, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Wang Yongshi immediately introduced: "Zhongfu, this is a good friend of this county, and Fei Dazhao is the leader of the lead mountain."

"I have seen the senior," Gao Eryan said with a sad expression on his face, telling the encounter, "Hu Chongdao in Duliu Town is my good friend. Yesterday, the junior brought a book boy and was a guest at Brother Hu's house. Who knew that Tapotian suddenly came and killed him. Brother Hu's family of dozens of people were all unpredictable. Even the junior scholar, also died tragically under the thief's saber. The junior scholar had no power to hold the chicken, so he had to let go of his hair, put on the clothes of a servant, and pretended to be thrown from the thief. The chaotic army. Fortunately, Wang Xianzun led the troops to kill, and this is the opportunity to kill the thief's head and avenge the annihilation of the family of Brother Hu!"

Fei Yinghuan pointed to the silk women's clothes on him: "Is this the slave's clothes?"

Gao Eryan explained: "The chaotic people are greedy for enjoyment, and they will grab good clothes when they see it. It doesn't matter whether men's or women's clothes fit or not, as long as they are silk and satin. The younger generation has to change into this suit in order to fool around."

"You're not sticking to the details." Fei Yinghuan smiled.

Wang Yongshi praised: "To endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, to kill evil thieves, worthy of being the empress of loyalty and goodness!"

In the battle of cliffs and mountains, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the young emperor in his arms, and the privy envoy Gao Gui also died for the country.There are two Gao clans in Jinghai County.

Hearing Wang Yongshi mention his ancestors, Gao Eryan couldn't help but feel a little proud, and immediately bowed: "The county magistrate has praised him."

After another round of encouragement and praise, the two sides talked for half an hour.

Wang Yongshi euphemistically saw off the guests and said, "This county will definitely report to the court for such a great achievement. Your Excellency must be quite tired after working all night, so let's take a break at this inspection department."

"Thank you for your compassion, so I will retire first." Gao Eryan left calmly.

In the main hall of the inspection department, only Wang Yongshi, Fei Yinghuan, and Wei Jianxiong were left.

"Snapped!"

Wang Yongshi slammed the table and scolded: "Such a treacherous person, reading the book of sages in vain!"

Fei Yinghuan shook the folding fan and smiled without saying a word.

Wei Jianxiong didn't understand, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Is the county magistrate scolding this high-ranking person? I think he can bend and stretch, act decisively, and he is a talented person."

Wang Yongshi gritted his teeth and said: "I have interrogated many chaotic people, and those who can live in the Hu family's mansion are all personal soldiers of the thief's first step into the sky, and they must submit a certificate. Gao Eryan was a guest at the Hu family at that time. He was suddenly attacked by the rioters, and he was able to become a thief by disguising himself as a thief? He also turned into a pro-army of the thief leader? This fellow must have disguised himself as a servant and killed the Hu family with the rioters. In order to survive, he even raised a knife to his friend's family! "

Wei Jianxiong was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

Fei Yinghuan suddenly sighed: "Shameless and ruthless, he is also a character."

……

County government.

Zhao Han supported the little sister and fed him a bowl of soup: "Do you feel better?"

"I'm not dizzy, but I just don't have the strength." Zhao Zhenfang squeezed out a smile.

Zhao Han comforted and said, "It will be good for two more days."

Zhao Zhenfang asked, "I heard Sister Xiaohuan (the maid) say that this is the home of the magistrate. Is the magistrate really daddy's friend?"

"Daddy has a lot of friends." Zhao Han smiled.

Zhao Zhenfang opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't help yawning.

Zhao Han put the little sister down slowly: "You can sleep a little longer."

"Well." Zhao Zhenfang lay down with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and soon the maid Xiaohuan rushed in.

Zhao Han got up and asked, "But the county magistrate broke the thief?"

The maid said in surprise: "How does the young master know?"

Zhao Han explained, "From ten miles away to return the letter, the time will almost match. My sister's face is full of joy again. Obviously, the county magistrate has not lost the battle."

The maid adored: "Little Young Master is really amazing!"

What's the use of being awesome?

The body of a child, without the protection of elders, Zhao Han can only strive to survive.

The strategy has been offered, and it has been successful, and he is waiting for the harvest.

A magistrate of a dignified county can never be shameless, really only give some money for soup, right?

But waiting left and right, Wang Yongshi and Fei Yinghuan did not return to the county seat, and stayed in Duliu Town to deal with the aftermath.

Wang Yongshi was extremely short of manpower. His master was not in Jinghai County and had been to Hejian Palace for many days.The new prefect just took office and was beaten by Wang Yongshi when he was young. He must send a reliable person to ease the relationship.

Another day later, Fei Yinghuan returned to the county office alone, and Wei Jianxiong continued to help in Duliu Town.

Fei Yinghuan seemed to regard the county government as his home, and ordered his servants to boil the bath water.After bathing and changing clothes, he called the maid Xiaohuan to help him comb his hair and bun for half an hour.

"Little Young Master, Xianggong Fei invites you to dinner." The maid came to report.

Zhao Han asked the little sister a few words, then stood up and clasped his fists: "Please, please lead the way."

Seeing Fei Yinghuan again, this gentleman was pouring his own drink in the garden.

And put on a new suit, a golden crown with hair tied, a jade pendant hanging from the waist, a beautiful beard and long beard, a handsome middle-aged man who looks like a real man.

This guy borrowed 200 taels of silver from Wang Yongshi.After you have money, you don't do anything else, first go buy an outfit and restore the equipment of the young master of the rich family.

The master of the family is not dead, even at the age of 40, Fei Yinghuan is still the young master.

Hearing the footsteps, Fei Yinghuan didn't look back, just held the wine glass and said, "Come and sit."

"The boy has seen Mr.." Zhao Han bowed and saluted, and sat down safely without saying much.

When Zhao Han was seated, the maid Xiaohuan stood by and poured wine for Master Fei with great discernment.

"The thief's head is dead." Fei Yinghuan held up the wine glass.

Zhao Han flattered: "Mr. brave."

Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "Fuck me. That night, I didn't have any blood on my body, I just stood by the river and admired the moon."

Zhao Han had no choice but to compliment him from another angle: "Don't be chaotic before the battle, admire the moon in the battlefield, sir, you're good-natured."

"Hahahaha!"

Fei Yinghuan laughed cheerfully, pointed at Zhao Han and joked, "You are so young and full of lies, you must be a wonderful person to teach your son well." Suddenly he sighed again, "Alas, these years are so interesting. There are not many people. It's a pity that Ling Zun has been unpredictable, otherwise I will definitely make friends."

Zhao Han was silent, his face was sad, it was inconvenient for him to talk about this topic.

Fei Yinghuan put down the wine glass, took out the folding fan and shook it, and asked, "Two days ago, you didn't even know the enemy's situation, why did you dare to go upstairs to offer advice?"

Zhao Han replied, "Mr. Haojiao knows that this kid is also a refugee. He has been hungry for a long time and has no strength. Even if those rioters grab food, they will only be full for a few days? How much fighting strength can they have? If you wait for the bandit army to kill the city, no matter whether it can defend the city or not, the streets and alleys outside the city will be destroyed. How many people will be homeless by then? placement?"

"You saved him a lot of money," Fei Yinghuan shook his head and laughed at himself. "The authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders are clear. When they heard about the uprising of the disaster victims, everyone was thinking about how to defend the city, and you, a child, woke up the clever way to defeat the enemy."

Zhao Han said modestly, "It's just a fluke."

Fei Yinghuan looked at Zhao Han with great interest, chewing a peanut in his mouth: "At a young age, he has a quick mind and a calm personality, but unfortunately he is not my son."

Zhao Han replied cautiously, "Mr. is overrated."

Fei Yinghuan suddenly felt helpless and sad: "I have two daughters and a son, both daughters are blue-hearted, but the son is an idiot. Tao Shiyou said: 'Ashu is twenty-eight, lazy, so he is incomparable. I love literature and art. Yong Duan is thirteen years old, and I don't know the sixth and seventh. Tongzi is nine years old, but he looks for pears and chestnuts. 'If I were born a thousand years earlier, I would definitely become a confidant with Mr. Wuliu."

Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Wuliu's ignorance may be because he drank too much."

Fei Yinghuan looked at the contents of the cup, and said with a strange expression: "Drinking too much will make my son a fool?"

"I don't know if it's true or not," Zhao Han replied.

"Then I want to stop drinking, or I can have another unicorn," Fei Yinghuan put down the wine glass, ate two peanuts, and then raised the glass to drink it up again, "Quitting drinking is like running a country, you can't be greedy for one day's merit, and you have to get it. It's not too late to stop drinking when I get home."

Zhao Han could only smile in return, waiting for the other party to tell the truth.

For no reason, he suddenly asked him to eat with him, and he said such nonsense, he must have come with some purpose.

Sure enough, Fei Yinghuan drank three glasses of wine and asked casually, "What are your plans for the future, your brother and sister?"

Zhao Han replied, "Go to the south first. The north is too cold in winter, and you may freeze to death if you sleep on the streets."

"Isn't it cold in the south?" Fei Yinghuan said sincerely, "Be my adopted son, come back to Jiangxi with me, and accompany my silly son to study."

Hearing the word "foster son", Zhao Han was overjoyed, wishing he could directly kowtow and call his father.

But after listening to the words behind, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

This is not being a godson, but going to Fei's house to be a school boy!

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that common people were not allowed to keep slaves, even scholars who possessed fame.Therefore, the contract to buy slaves is disguised as the contract to adopt the adopted son and daughter.

The family slaves who are close to some do not call their masters "Master" and "Mrs.", but instead call them "Father" and "Mother".

For example, in a certain literary masterpiece, the slaves used the words "My Dad" and "Ximen Dad" to call Ximen Qing to the outside world, and also called Ximen Qing's sworn brother as "Second Dad".

In the late Ming Dynasty, military generals liked to use their servants to fight. There were often a bunch of godsons among the servants, and their real identity was servants!

Since it belongs to the adoption contract, it seems that it can't stop the slaves from getting away, but that thing has more practical power.

This is because the master-servant relationship has become a legally recognized father-son relationship. According to the Confucian three cardinal guides and five constants, how can a son establish his own door at will?Anyone who dares to escape without permission will not even be able to obtain a household registration, and will immediately become a black household refugee!
