poor family prodigal

A carriage entered Dawangzhuang. The supervising censor Fuqing got off the carriage and walked, looking around.

Before coming, he was thinking about what kind of geomantic treasure land could cultivate such a great talent.

As a result, Dawangzhuang's location is average.

But the people are quite different. They are all neatly and thickly dressed, their hands and faces are washed very clean, and there is some flesh on their faces. Unlike the people in other places, all of them have yellow faces and muscles, as if they are about to starve to death.

New houses are being built everywhere in the village, and the working people are full of energy.

There were sounds of children reading from new houses, and there were teenagers wielding knives and guns.

There are even working men who are writing by scratching their fingers while walking.

The whole village is full of vitality, just like the paradise of kings mentioned by sages.

Fu Qing watched with a burning heart, and walked towards the villagers on the roadside from time to time, wanting to find out more information.

But before he could get close, the villagers walked away without giving him a chance to talk.

After being depressed for a while, he took a few steps and was stopped by Dahu!

After indicating his intention to come, Dahu left and reported, and paid off and continued walking around the village.

As he walked, he looked at an old man in a long robe. Fu Qing's eyes lit up and he clasped his fists: "My friend, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare. My lord, I was born late, and I gave birth to a commoner late!"

Wang Bizhong, who wanted to leave, quickly clasped his fists and bowed in return.

Scholars can call each other friends only if they have achieved similar academic achievements.

This seventh-grade official was either a Jinshi or a Juren, far superior to him in a white body.

You actually called him a friend. Could it be that you saw that he was full of knowledge!

"As long as we, the scholars, understand the words of the sages, we can educate the common people!"

Fu Qing sighed: "As for fame and wealth, it is actually determined by destiny."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Wang Bizhong is convinced!

He always believed that his repeated failures were due to cheating in the examination room and not because he was not talented enough!

Now this old man had something hidden in his words that made him feel like he had met a confidant.

I wish I could drag this man home, let his wife kill an old hen, and have sex with him!

"I'm here to visit Mr. Mingtan. I don't know what the relationship between my friend and him is. Can I tell you some interesting stories about Mr. Mingtan's past?"

Pay up and smile.

Mr. Mingtan was very repulsive to him and wouldn't give him a chance to get close to him in private!

One has to find out what he likes in order to get closer to persuasion!

"Mr. Mingtan!"

Wang Bizhong was secretly shocked.

When scholars call someone Mr., it means lowering their stature, or practicing the courtesy of a disciple.

First there is a county magistrate, then there is a supervisory censor, and the number one scholar is coming to teach!

That kid is out there, how much trouble can he cause to make these people like this.

Seeing Wang Bizhong in a daze, Fu Qing frowned and reminded: "Friend?"

"Oh, Mingtan, he is my nephew. He has been extremely intelligent, righteous, and caring for the world since he was a child. He also has a heart of a Bodhisattva. He cannot see the suffering of the poor since he was a child. When he grows up, he has read poetry and books and is determined to practice Follow the words of the sage..."

Wang Bizhong stroked his goat's beard, gritted his teeth and blew Wang Yuan hard!

Now he and his son receive twelve taels of silver from Wang Yuan every month!

Although I thought Wang Yuan was not as knowledgeable as him, he was short on people.

"Cough cough!"

Fu Qing interrupted: "Friend, there is no doubt about Mr. Mingtan's character! But I want to know more about Mr. Mingtan's likes and dislikes."

"Well... Mingtan hates bullying others and hates kneeling before officials."

When he saw that no one was around, Wang Bizhong whispered: "As for his hobbies, he likes to give people money, and he also likes beauties!"

"Uh!"

Fu Qing was surprised and said, "How come Mr. Mingtan doesn't look like a philanderer!"

People who are good and lustful generally have a depressed look, cloudy eyes, and look listless.

The last time he saw Wang Yuan at the county government office, he was full of energy and energy, and he was definitely not greedy for sex or sex.

"Friend, you are wrong about this!"

Wang Bizhong said with an insightful tone: "If he is not greedy for sex, he would risk beheading three years ago and take the daughter of Mr. Li from the county seat."

Pay off and be stunned.

Three years ago, Li Buyi was in the same situation. Anyone who dared to marry his daughter would be extremely bold.

"Two months ago, he took a young man from our village to Goulan and stayed there for three days before coming back. For three days, those two ferocious tigers came back and their legs were weak!"

Holding out three fingers, Wang Bizhong said with an envious look on his face: "A while ago, two very beautiful women came from the county town to look for him. When he came back from the county town, he also brought back two beautiful women. This Not counting his cousin in the county, plus his wife, you can count how many women there are. If you are not greedy for sex, why are there so many women around him? "

"Going to Goulan, there are tons of women around me. It seems that I was wrong!"

Fu Qing's eyes lit up and he was about to clasp his fists, but Wang Bizhong smiled and left.

When he looked up, he saw Wang Yuan coming with Dahu and more than a dozen young people.

Fu Qing quickly clasped his fists and bowed his head: "Fu Qing has met Mr. Mingtan, and I asked him to forgive me for coming uninvited. I really have something important to tell you."

Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Let's talk!"

Fu Qing's expression darkened: "Ma Qian hanged himself in the county jail last night!"

Last night, he went to visit his old friend Ma Qian and brought wine and food along the way!

As a result, his former friend begged him on his knees and wanted to know why he helped Wang Yuan.

He found out a little bit and learned in the morning that his old friend had hanged himself and died, and he didn't want to hurt his family.

Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "You came to me just to talk about this?"

Ma Qian was an enemy, and he had no mercy at all for the death of an enemy.

Fu Qing said sarcastically: "He left a blood seal before he died, begging sir not to anger his family!"

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "He thinks too much. I don't have that much energy to deal with his family! Even if I did, it wouldn't harm my family!"

"Thank you sir for your mercy!"

Pay Qing changed the subject: "I wonder if sir, could you lend me a moment to speak?"

"Don't borrow!"

Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "If you have anything to say, just say it here!"

"..."

I was speechless for a while after paying off.

I want to bribe you for Huangren. If I say it in public, isn’t that asking for death?

"correct!"

Wang Yuan asked: "You who are supervisors and censors usually travel around Daye!"

Fu Qing quickly replied: "Xiaguan has been working as a supervisory censor for the past three years. He has been to nine of the ten states of Daye, but only Haizhou has not been there! Whatever you want to ask, sir, I will tell you everything!"

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever heard of quartz?"

"quartz?"

Fu Qing thought for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know what the Lord is talking about!"

"Since it's not there, forget it and go back."

Wang Yuan frowned and waved his hands, somewhat puzzled.

The geographical environment of Daye is similar to that of the previous life, and the animals and plants are the same. There is no reason for the exception of minerals.

In previous lives, there were quartz mines in many places. It is impossible that there were not mines here, but no one has heard of them.

"Sir, although I have never heard of it, I have traveled all over the country!"

Fu Qing caught up with him and said with a smile, "Please tell me in detail what the quartz looks like. I can help you find out when my official arrives in other places!"

"……Row!"

Wang Yuan thought the same thing: "Dahu, go get a handful of quartz!"

Dahu ran back and grabbed a handful of quartz.

Twisting a piece of quartz, Fu Qing couldn't help but smile: "Sir, isn't this jade? Why do you call it quartz?"

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up: "The names vary from place to place. Do you know where there is a water jade mine?"

Fu Qing chuckled: "There are at least dozens of water jade mines across the country. The ones closest to you are in Longnan County and Qianhe Ridge in He County. But water jade is worthless and useless, so how come you are interested in it!"

"Longnan County, Hexian County!"

This county is more than a hundred miles away. Wang Yuan's eyes lit up and he clasped his fists: "It's just a whim. Thank you for the news. I still have something to do, so you can do it yourself!"

"Uh!"

After asking for information, he ignored everyone. Fu Qing was speechless and quickly chased after him: "Sir, are you interested in water jade and want to go to He County to get water jade? I tell you, you must not go! "

Wang Yuan paused: "Why!"

Fu Qing lowered his voice and said: "There are rebels in He County, and the entire county has been taken over by them!"

Wang Yuan was surprised: "What?"

"King Tu Nan attacked the border a while ago, and the magistrate of He County took the opportunity to impose a wave of taxes!"

Fu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "People can't pay taxes, and many people have lost their families."

Wang Yuan frowned!

Daye's levies and miscellaneous taxes are extremely heavy to begin with, and the autumn taxes were collected just two months ago.

After winter, you still have to pay spring taxes. If Hexian County adds a wave of taxes in winter, isn't it driving the people to death?

Rebellions over tax increases are common in Dayi, and there are several in various places every year.

But there are few who have a big climate!

Fu Qing said in a low voice: "The biggest thieves in He County, the Green Faced Wolf, took the opportunity to rebel and killed the officials. They led the mob into the city and killed the county magistrate. When I came to Fu County, I always bypassed He County, and I took two more detours. Hundreds of miles!”

"Thank you for telling me another piece of news!"

Wang Yuan nodded and turned around: "Dahu, go get him a thousand taels of silver as his information fee!"

"Uh!"

After a while, Huaqing took one thousand taels of silver and stood there dumbfounded.

The information fee is only one thousand taels of silver in two sentences. This money is so profitable!

Mr. Mingtan didn't even give him a chance to speak, and he didn't even have a chance to bribe him!

It seems that we can only start from his 'shortcomings' and ask Lord Bai Ying to come forward in person.

……

After saying goodbye and paying off, Wang Yuan came to Dahu's new house and found Hongye!

"You, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Wang Yuan, who is striding like a meteor, the red leaves are stumbling, his pretty face is blushing and he is retreating!

In the past few days, that girl Qinghe has been calling her second cousin sister-in-law.

She was embarrassed to see Wang Yuan!

"What are you nervous about?"

Wang Yuan said in shock: "I came here to ask you about someone!"

"Who?"

Hongye looked wary!

Wang Yuan said: "Have you ever heard of the green-faced wolf in He County!"

"Yes, I have!"

Hongye's eyes lit up: "My brother has seen him and said he is about the same age as us. But he is very capable. He has more than a thousand brothers under his command. He is the biggest green forest hero in He County."

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "He rebelled and captured the entire He County!"

"What, great!"

Hongye's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "These corrupt officials exploit the people all day long and force them to the point where they can't live any longer. What a great counterattack!"

"To shut up!"

Wang Yuan's expression changed. When he saw that there was no one outside the door, he closed the door and said, "Keep your voice down!"

"Little thief, why are you so cowardly? I'm not asking you to rebel!"

Seeing Wang Yuan's stern face, Hongye lowered his voice: "My brother has said before that the green-faced wolf has great ambitions and will get up sooner or later to do great things! I even suspect that my brother secretly bought armor and learned from him! It's really not like that. To think that he moved so quickly and actually captured a county!"

"To shut up!"

Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "How about we make a deal!"
