Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Royal study.

"Stool, hurry up, bring me a stool, my legs are weak..."

Leaving the crowd and following the emperor to the imperial study alone, the first thing Lin Ze did was to ask someone to bring the stool over!

Don't look at how arrogant he was just now, in fact, he was just pretending.

If it weren't for the emperor's explicit support, and the fact that the other party didn't dare to do anything to him directly in court, he would definitely not have the guts to do anything. This is too inconsistent with his low-key and cautious style of life.

His behavior just now was purely a passionate young man with no brains.

Fighting against people in the village is at best a beating. Here, you might lose your life. Didn’t you see the eyes of those princes staring at him and wanting to eat him...

"Young master, would you like another cup of tea?"

The old eunuch smiled and lifted up a chair, and handed over a cup of good warm tea very thoughtfully.

Lin Ze naturally picked it up without saying a word, and drank it to calm down his nervousness and fear. The old eunuch and the emperor couldn't help being amused by that look.

"Okay, knowing that nothing will happen if I support you, you are exaggerating."

Sheng Yongxuan stroked his short beard and shook his head at his apprentice's hopeless appearance.

Did not say Zhen, but used 'I', it can be seen that in the heart of the emperor, a certain person still has a lot of status.

"No exaggeration! It's not an exaggeration at all, old man, do you know how much integrity I have to throw away for you? My heroic and intelligent image, I have become a fool now. Fortunately, I was not taken by me, Ah Yu and my son. See, otherwise how can I be the head of the family in the future?"

Lin Ze was very angry and a little bit mournful,

"Also, old guy, from today onwards, you have to send a few more people to protect me, all the hidden guards, martial arts masters, gold medals to avoid death, I'm afraid those vassal kings will hack me to death..."

This is not true at all.

Based on his words and deeds in the court today, thinking about it in another way, he looks so hot-blooded that he deserves to be beaten, even he wants to beat him, not to mention the vassal kings who have been poked by him all of a sudden. There is no difference if there is a hornet's nest.

Although there are not many martial arts masters in this world who can smash mountains with one palm, there are a lot of hidden guards like 'secret agents', and his fist and kick skills are not enough to deal with it. Even if the emperor sends someone to protect him, he may not be able to feel at ease.

This time he bet his life on it.

Seeing Lin Zehou's frightened appearance, Sheng Yongxuan was very relieved, "Don't worry, the old man is such a heartless person?"

"Yes!"

Lin Ze nodded without hesitation, and was very contemptuous, "I only gave you a thorough understanding after you got to the palace examination, and you didn't give me any preparations. You are obviously a big golden leg, but you have the cheek to come to my house to eat and drink..."

This appearance looks like a posture to settle accounts.

Sheng Yongxuan laughed, "You're not bad, you call me to fool the 'emperor' all day long, and treat me like a fool."

"...Then we are half a catty."

Lin Ze poured down the teacup, very guilty, if he had known that his teacher had such big legs, he would definitely pretend to be cute to the end!

However, after teaching himself to the old guy for so long, he also specially asked Enke to pave the way for him. Even if the old guy has his own plans, he is still very moved. How can such a small person like him let His Majesty's teacher spend so much time.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze looked at the teacher whose hair was much whiter than the last time he met, and was very worried for the old guy.

"Teacher, although we have suppressed those feudal kings today, it is only temporary. My gunpowder is only the most basic. If we want to be more powerful and better, as well as mass-produced, we need to find someone to pay more attention to it." Research is the only way, those people may not be so easy to be willing to give up the power of the feudal land."

"Yuntang, you underestimate yourself too much, you don't know how effective those two wonderful things of yours today are..."

Sheng Yongxuan smiled, his apprentice is smart and courageous, but sometimes he lacks common sense, maybe he dropped out of school and studied at home with no one to guide him.

"The reason why the court has never dared to move the vassals is not because they are afraid of their 20 troops. The court has at least a million-dollar army. It is not difficult to deal with them. The difficult thing is that the vassals are heroes. After that, they will occupy the feudal land for hundreds of years, if there is no absolutely sufficient reason to do it, the imperial court will fall into the world's tongues, and the people of the feudal land will not be willing to let the officials sent by the imperial court take over."

"Even with the help of your gunpowder, it is brute force after all, but the 'kings send troops, the heavens will be settled' you made is different. Once the news spreads, they have to be obedient even if they don't want to hand over power. Hand it in, otherwise the imperial court can directly send troops to kill them, and the people will not only say nothing, but will also applaud..."

"I thought so too at the beginning. The power of public opinion is greater than I imagined. But teacher, how do you plan to arrange me? I really don't want to stay in the capital. It's too complicated here. You know I prefer a simpler life."

Lin Ze nodded. After all, the old guy has been the emperor for so many years, and the throne is still sitting firmly on the mountain. He has no means to do so.

But he didn't want to know too much. It was fine if he didn't know the identity of the teacher before, but now he knew how much he had to be taboo. Moreover, he really didn't want to stir up these muddy waters.

"Others are squeezing their heads to drill into the court, why are you so worthless, it's a waste of me creating such a big momentum for you..."

Sheng Yongxuan was also very helpless with his attitude.

"Teacher, everyone has their own aspirations. Others seek eternal achievements and go down in history, but for me, you know, my wife and children are enough. Didn't the teacher think that one day he would take off the burden and spend the rest of his life with Mr. Han? If not, why should the teacher Clean up the court so quickly."

Lin Ze laughed, "The predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Xi Yuan is a good boy, and he will be the king of the prosperous age."

"Those who know me, Yuntang also..."

Sheng Yongxuan sighed, raised his hand to signal the old eunuch to bring up a chair, and sat next to Lin Ze with a familiar attitude, "Then tell me what you think."

"Actually, I don't have any deep thoughts, I just want to stay in Qingshan County, teacher, I have told you many times..."

Lin Ze shrugged,

"At first, I thought, sir, the 'Your Majesty' you said is so good, I think the world's 'Your Majesty' is also governed very well. If our country can be stronger, our people will live more comfortably. In order not to To waste the 'talent' that God gave me, I will generously donate fire and medicine to increase national power and construction, and ask 'Your Majesty' for the post of county magistrate, and return home to be the emperor of the land."

Sheng Yongxuan stared at him, hesitating in his heart whether to slap him twice.

The old eunuch shook his body and almost knelt down for this unscrupulous Mr. Lin.

"But now, since I am a teacher, as your disciple, I think I should show some filial piety to you. It also saves Han Shilang, who is so good-looking and still elegant like me, and a little old man whose hair is almost graying like you, with hot eyes."

A certain 'old man' picked up his hair silently: Where is it all white, it's only half of it, okay...

"Teacher, I don't have any academic knowledge, but I have a lot of skills. My personal ability is limited after all. In fact, there are many talents in the court, and there is no shortage of my temper. If the teacher agrees, I will be very happy to be the teacher's logistics .”

"How to say?"

"Using Qingshan County as the experimental base, as the name suggests, is a place to practice to verify whether the theory is feasible. However, if there are policies that have been discussed endlessly in the court, the teacher can first put them in Qingshan County for implementation. If it works, it can be promoted on a large scale. Speechless objection, this is one of the..."

"Secondly, students have a lot of ideas, which are feasible in theory, but whether they are actually feasible or not can only be known through practice. Therefore, such a place for experiments is needed to avoid large-scale reforms and people's inherent ideological conflicts, which will lead to fundamental fluctuations. .”

"Thirdly, all of the above are □□. The student union will use the reason of opening a new academy to secretly train some students who specialize in the practical use of ingenuity. At that time, the teacher will have countless 'Lin Ze' available. Talent is the foundation and is long-term. Continuous development, the students feel that the benefits I bring to the teacher are far greater than those above the court."

To put it bluntly, Lin Ze knew very well that his temper and character would not allow him to stay in court.

Compared with letting him intrigue with those courtiers, he is better at doing basics and logistics, and he is also good at 'invention' and trade.

"Teacher, I can help you earn a lot of money for the treasury, help you make many items comparable to gunpowder kits, and help you solve many construction problems. But the only thing is, I can't gain a foothold in the court, I I am worried that one day, with my temper and character, I will definitely make a big mess."

Lin Ze spread his hands, with a helpless expression of self-knowledge on his face,

"Teacher, you know that students are cowardly when they have a bad temper, and those ministers in the court are the old stubborn people I can't get along with the most..."

"It's not that you can't play well and you are afraid of stabbing someone, you are just lazy."

Sheng Yongxuan shook his head, slapped Lin Ze on the head, and had no choice but to give up.

But the practice base or something sounds good.

The most important thing is that he can use the title of 'inspection base' in the future and run to Qingshan County every three days. With his current body and age, maybe Yunzhi can give him another little brother , um, this is good this is good...

**************

Relying on the courage not to be afraid of death, Lin Ze succeeded in playing cards against common sense with Lengqing's head, so that the vassal kings didn't even have time to react, and they were directly defeated.

The awe of weapons, the oppression of public opinion by miracles.

A group of vassal kings obediently begged to see the emperor the next day, and honestly handed over the power of the vassal land.

Everyone is naturally very unwilling, but there is no way, the miracle appears, the imperial court still has such a powerful "God Thunder", if they don't bow their heads, the imperial court can directly send troops to suppress them under the pretext of "mandate of heaven".

At that time, let alone the rights of fiefdom and wealth, I am afraid that the whole family will have to go to see Lord Yan. Now that we are acquainted, there is no fiefdom, but at least we can keep the glory and wealth, and we will make plans later.

Solving the thorn in the flesh for the imperial court, Lin Ze deserved the position of champion. The examinees were not jealous, and the courtiers were also convinced. If Enke Linze can't be the champion this year, then no one can be.

Three days later, the palace examination results came out.

Not surprisingly, Lin Ze was ranked No. [-].

No.2 No. [-] is the son of a neutral minister in the capital. He is very talented, capable and practical, and the ranking is well-deserved.

The No.3 Tanhua is Dou Ying, which is very surprising.

In fact, according to the general palace examination rules, in order to save the time of marking papers, the top three are selected from the top ten in the general examination.However, Dou Ying's ranking in the test was not in the top ten, and she became a Tanhua, thanks to this kid's 'Secondary Two'.

Because of the policy questions of all the candidates, except for Lin Ze and the second place in the list, Dou Ying was the only candidate who dared to directly say that he killed the vassal king.

How could this kid not be appreciated by bumping into the emperor's mind by mistake?It's this guy that fools have foolish blessings.

Every year, the champion of Jinke is the focus of the elites in the capital's attention to recruiting a son-in-law and marrying him. This time is the same. Even though Lin Ze is already married, he has become a favorite in the eyes of everyone, mainly because his reputation as an "illegitimate prince" is too loud.

Even if the news that he and His Majesty are masters and apprentices has already been announced at the Jinke Grand Ceremony, and he called the Emperor Teacher in front of everyone, everyone still doesn't believe it.

No matter how you explain it, everyone just believes in their own 'brain supplements' anyway.

This Lin Ze is clearly the bearing and demeanor of His Majesty when he was young, how could he not be father and son?When they open their eyes and go blind!

Your Majesty looked at Lin Ze with such kind and friendly eyes, and the way of getting along was as close as a father and son. Isn't the relationship obvious!

Speaking of teachers and students, Lin Ze didn't have the attitude of respecting the teacher at all, and he had to be coaxed by His Majesty. This is clearly how I treat my son!

So... an explanation is a cover-up, whatever you say, they just don't believe it.

It is estimated that His Majesty does not recognize the relationship now, probably because he is worried about the life of his "son". After all, there is only one prince in the royal family.

When the situation stabilized, it was time for the prince to show up.

Well, it really is His Majesty, the means are clever and cautious.

But the 'Prince' is really good. Although his temper is sometimes not serious, his resourcefulness and courage are indeed good. In the future, he will be supported by a group of veteran ministers. I believe he must be a good king...

A group of people thought in their hearts, anyway, no matter what Lin Ze did, he couldn't resist everyone's brain supplements like waves.

With two well-known titles of Jinke champion and illegitimate prince, coupled with young and handsome, he is the legendary son-in-law of the golden tortoise.

On the day of the Qionglin Banquet, Lin Ze was almost drowned by the enthusiasm of the courtiers.

Afterwards, during the meeting, a bunch of invitations were sent over. If the Han House had not been guarded by His Majesty, the threshold of the place where he lived would have been crushed.

Even so, it made Lin Ze afraid to go out. Once he went out, countless ministers would be dragged by "coincidents" to eat, drink, and make friends.

The emperor also knew about his situation, so after the matter at hand was dealt with, he immediately issued an order to confer him the official position of "Sikong Zuofu", and sent him to Qingshan County to take over the real government for the emperor, and he was granted the "behead first, then play, imperial power" Charter' honor.

Lin Ze had never heard of the official name 'Sikong Zuofu', but according to the official position of Daji, there were four assistants below the emperor: Yi, Cheng, Assistant, and Bi; after the four assistants, there were six departments.

His official position is marked with the word 'auxiliary'. Within the four auxiliary departments, he is directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, which can directly explain his status and rank.

The main position is to take over the real government, and there is also the franchise imperial power of "killing first and playing later". In short, basically he himself will not make principled mistakes and be caught by others, and almost no one can clearly tell him what to do.

In addition, the emperor also gave him a talisman for dispatching [-] troops.

On the surface, these troops are stationed in Qingshan County to guarantee and support the operation of the 'experimental base', but in fact they are protecting his safety, in case someone with a heart does things secretly, causing chaos and killing him quickly.

This made Lin Ze feel a lot more comfortable.

He sent so many "things" to the emperor, and he willingly agreed to help them do things and cultivate talents, but it was too far-fetched to use the reason of filial piety to the teacher. Carrying a 'heavy treasure' brings death.

Now the emperor gave him [-] military power, which also indirectly showed the emperor's mind, that is the emperor, also, his teacher.

"Teacher, we are waiting for you in Qingshan County..."

The sun rises and greets the sun.

Lin Zeyuan looked at the majestic and solemn capital, dressed in official uniform, holding the imperial decree and military amulet, and returned to his hometown on a big boat.

Zhang Yu stood beside him smiling with the child in his arms, like a warm picture of a family of three.

*********

It only takes one month to go back to Qingshan County from the capital with excellent boats.

When they came, their family and a few apprentices were poor and lonely. When they came back, they were accompanied by officials, guarded by soldiers, and sailed on a big ship flying the imperial flag.

And before they set off to return home, the official messengers who announced the good news had already set off on their way.

Since Lin Ze is already an official ranked fourth, and he is also an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor to be sent to Qingshan County to "replace the emperor's real government", then he must have the style he should have. It is not that an official must be extravagant, but that he must show status class.

At least Lin Ze can no longer live in the village, he must have a proper mansion, otherwise it is not low-key, but ignorant of the rules.

He doesn't need to worry about these things. With his official rank, the court will take the initiative to solve and arrange general life problems, and because of Lin Ze's special status and position, his various personal safety needs to be carefully considered.

Moreover, Lin Ze is not only returning home after passing the exam, but also an "imperial envoy", so according to the rules, he must first notify the officials of Qingshan County and prepare to welcome him when the time comes. This is a society where imperial power is supreme, so it is necessary to do so.

The first to receive the news was the magistrate of the prefecture of Qingshan County, the prefect of Yifu, and others.

Although Qingshan County is the designated 'policy experiment base', according to his official position, Lin Ze can be said to be the largest official in this county. How can they not come to visit?

Then Duan Wensai received the news.Of course, his own people in the capital had already delivered the news.

However, at that time, we only talked about Lin Ze's being the number one scholar in the examination, but the news that "Sikong Zuofu" was appointed as an official did not come back in time, so when he knew that Lin Ze was appointed as an official and came back as an "imperial envoy", Duan Wensai was really taken aback.

"Jin'er, your elder brother has become a blockbuster if he doesn't do anything well. Do you know what kind of official Sakong Zuofu is? He is a senior official who is comparable to the prime minister. His majesty also gave your elder brother a hundred thousand military power. Your elder brother is too good." ..."

After reading the news, Duan Wensai couldn't hold back and immediately went back to share the good news with his lover in his arms.

"Master, is this true?"

Brother Jun's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he covered his mouth in disbelief.

He stayed in the capital for a long time, and at that time Duan Wensai often chatted with him about the affairs of the court, so he probably understood the various official positions and duties of the court.

Just because the Minister of the Fourth Assistant Minister is directly under the management of His Majesty, you know how important the position is, but those who have climbed to this position are all brains, means, and old courtiers who have managed power for many years and made countless achievements. No one has ever been able to directly seal the rank of the fourth assistant. of.

The elder brother was directly appointed as the fourth assistant when he was less than [-] years old, and he had to dispatch military power. This is an unprecedented exception.

"Jin'er, do you know what your brother's main job is? He is acting for the emperor, and he has the imperial power charter to kill first and then act. To put it simply, what your brother says now is His Majesty's word..."

Duan Wensai sighed incomparably,

"Although I expected that His Majesty would definitely use your elder brother, I didn't expect His Majesty to give Eldest Brother such power. No wonder there are rumors in the capital that Eldest Brother is His Majesty's 'illegitimate prince'. If I didn't know the details, I would have believed it."

"Brother is amazing, and it is right to be appreciated by His Majesty."

Brother Jun hugged his lover and was extremely happy. That was his elder brother. How could he not be happy with such news.

Duan Wensai nodded, agreeing very much,

"Yeah, big brother is really powerful. If he hadn't mentioned our Duan family at the beginning, our Duan family might be gone now... But the best thing is, Jun'er, in the future, mother will no longer be able to find fault with you. Now it's us The Duan family is proud of you, you are the living ancestor of our family."

"But the young master will always be Jun'er's young master."

Brother Jun hugged his lover tightly, smiling sweetly.

"Call me young master again, it sounds really nice..."

Duan Wensai lifted the chin of the person in his arms, flirtatious and affectionate.

From now on, he can safely and boldly spoil his people.

Mrs. Yue 'died of illness' as early as a year ago, and there is an extra luxurious mansion in the rich man's street in Qingshan County.

The owner of the mansion is a rich and powerful young lady who moved from other places. There are several male husbands in the family. They are criticized by others, but no one dares to provoke them. The life is envied by countless ladies in the backyard.

*********************

The return journey of Lin Ze and others was much more comfortable than the outbound journey.

There are special big ships for the journey, special officials and soldiers for protection, and special servants to serve you. You don't have to worry about anything, just lie down and enjoy it.

Lin Ze was satisfied with this majestic style, Li Sheng and the children were even happier, and finally they didn't have to stick to the rules on the boat and could run and dance around.

When they are bored, they can tie ropes to get out of the boat and swim with them in places where the current is slow.

Of course, this is Lin Ze's request. He himself will swim with the three children, firstly to get familiar with water, and secondly to exercise.

The deck on the ship is just that big, so it’s not too much space for exercise. Swimming is just right, and you can also relax as a game. There are ropes tied and officers and soldiers who are familiar with water to protect you, so you don’t have to worry too much about safety.

This made Lin Dongdong, who likes to join in the fun, very rare. Every time they went down the river to swim with the boat, the little guy struggled to follow.

But it's a pity, because the height and age are not up to standard, Lin Dongdong can only look at it strangely, waving his little hands and legs on the boat and shouting "Dad brother" wronged. He's still a baby.

In the end, Zhang Shidan was so distressed that he begged Lin Ze to let the boat stop halfway, so he could buy a super-big bathtub and fill it with water for Lin Dongdong to splash about, so he could coax the little guy to sleep.

Li Sheng and Guo Zian also listened to Lin Ze's swimming ring, and tried to make a simple "swimming ring" for Dongdong with leather, so that Dongdong could dig water in the bucket without being held by others.

"The three of you want Dongdong to become the rhythm of a dandy..."

Zhang Yu really doesn't know how to describe his helplessness anymore. The people around him are really too used to his son. He is still young now, so what can he do when he grows up.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you don't commit major crimes, it doesn't matter if you spend money for fun, my husband can afford you two."

Lin Ze was still at the side, lest the world would not be chaotic.

If it wasn't for this guy's laissez-faire, how could the three little ones want to pluck all the stars from the sky and give them to Lin Dongdong.

"You... sleep in the empty room next door tonight!"

Zhang Yu was upset, so he could only use this trick.

"Ah Yu..."

Mr. Lin was crying immediately, but he couldn't make him not spoil his son.

Who told Ah Yu to give him such a cute son, and his eyebrows and eyes look very much like Zhang Yu. When the little guy cries and makes trouble, his heart softens, hey.

A month's journey passed in an instant.

Lin Ze's official ship finally arrived at the wharf of Nanyang Town.

As early as three days ago, the officials on board had disembarked ahead of schedule, and sent news to Qingshan County, notifying the arrival time of the official ship.

So when he arrived at the pier, the first thing Lin Ze saw was the crowds of people watching, as well as the receiving and meeting officials.

"The next official pays homage to Lord Zuofu, congratulations on your honorable return to your hometown."

A group of officials knelt down in unison, and the scene was very majestic.

Seeing this, the onlookers also paid homage, they didn't know the rules, even though so many grown-ups knelt down, it seemed that ordinary people were still standing, which didn't seem to be in compliance with the rules.

Only Jiang Rong's mother, Lin Sangui, and the old man and old lady did not kneel. They are Lin Ze's direct relatives, parents and grandparents, so naturally there is no reason to kneel down to their son or grandson.

Unless Lin Ze is a brother who enters the palace and becomes a nobleman and becomes a royal, then only the mother's parents will kneel.But people like Lin Xiaolian, Lin Erbo, and Uncle Lin have to kneel down.

Official Lin Sangui and the others didn't quite know what Sikong Zuofu was, but even the magistrate of the county had to kneel down to his son, so they probably knew that his son's current official position was great.

The Lin family has been poor peasants for generations, and this generation finally has an official, and he is still a high-ranking official.Looking at his handsome and imposing son in official uniform, Lin Sangui was filled with indescribable pride and sadness. His son was arguing with him, even if he died now, it was worth it.

There are still many people Lin Ze is familiar with in the crowd, and everyone's expressions are very excited and excited.

Almost all the people in Heba Village came to watch the excitement. Li Laofu and several clan elders kept saying to the people they didn't know, "This is the young man of our village!", full of pride.

As the saying goes, one person rises to heaven, and every household in Heba Village counts as "clan relatives" with Lin Ze.

Even the prefect of the prefect of the county has to kneel down, what an official that is!

The common people looked at it strangely, but those officials who knelt down looked at Lin Ze's young face, and they were actually a little bit upset.

After all, they all worked so hard to get to where they are today. Who spent half their lives, and how old is Lin Ze?How many qualifications?It fell on their heads all at once, who could have no ideas and spirits, let alone the other party was just from an ordinary farming family.

Lin Ze's current situation is the same as the "airborne" that is often said in modern times. It is normal for the people below to be respectful and dissatisfied.

However, his deeds in the court hall in the capital could not be spread in such a remote place in a short period of time, and the specific situation in the court hall was not known to everyone, because it involved gunpowder, and the situation on that day was kept secret.

Only a few people know about the deployment of military power.

Therefore, people who don't know the outside world only know that Lin Ze did well in the imperial examination, and because he hugged the emperor's thigh and flattered him well, he went straight to the top and became the youngest four-assistant rank in the history of Daji minister.

But in the end Lin Ze didn't stay in the court, and was 'assigned' to remote places like Qingshan County as soon as he took office, so people who don't know the market only think that he has a job but no power, and don't know his real status.

As the old saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake.

Therefore, the officials who came to visit were all superficial, and there would be a welcome banquet, but everyone was not prepared because Lin Ze's boat and car needed to be repaired.

It seems to be caring, but in fact, it gave Lin Ze the green head to know that they are the ones who call the shots when the emperor is far away. What kind of imperial envoys, without their cooperation, they are poor commanders, and they recognize their status.

And the only one who really welcomed Lin Ze was his brother-in-law, and Duan Wensai set up a banquet in the town.

Lin Ze understood the thoughts of these officials. He used to take the place of the head office to go on a business trip to a branch in another city, and he had encountered such things. There was no need to be angry, and there was plenty of time to settle accounts.

"Since your lords are so 'considerate' to me, I appreciate it, and I will go to drink your wine at another time."

Lin Ze smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Duan Wensai with a friendly attitude,

"Magistrate Duan, let's go to dinner. I heard that you have specially ordered a banquet for me? It's just time for lunch, and I'm very hungry. Later, you will also tell me how my brother is at the house recently. ..."

He didn't settle the accounts on the spot, but he also expressed his displeasure on the spot.

While saying that Chengqing didn't plan to accept the "considerateness" of the banquet, she also pulled Duan Wensai and said that it is lunch time and go to eat first if you are hungry.

The few officials who met with him lowered their faces, knowing that Mr. Lin, who had just entered the officialdom, was an idiot...

The eyes of the two sides collided and secretly confronted each other.

As for the surrounding people, because they were too far away to hear their words, they had no idea and just stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"My lord! I beg the imperial envoy to avenge the vengeance! I beg the lord to avenge the little people..."

One was fifteen or sixteen years old, a boy dressed in commoner clothes suddenly ran up, stopped in front of the guards, kowtowed to Lin Ze and shouted for justice.

The little brother's voice was very loud, with the emotion of risking everything, with tears on his face, shouting, causing people around him to look at each other and discuss in a low voice.

In front of so many common people, those who were named to ask for justice, not to mention Lin Ze who just took office, even the old officials had to bear their temper and pay attention to it, just like Lin Ze made such a big deal when he was in the lawsuit with Mrs. Wei. The movement is a truth.

Although the meal time was delayed by someone, Lin Ze was not angry. As a new official, he needed merit to establish a solid reputation.

It's a good time for this little brother to sue.

In full view, Lin Ze must of course show the benevolence of an official who puts the people first, and signaled to Zhang Yu to take the children away to rest before he walked over, looked up and down the little brother, and asked,

"Get up first and speak slowly. If there is a grievance, I will naturally make the decision for you."

Duan Wensai glanced at the little brother in front of him, feeling a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he saw him.

The complaining brother recognized him as the county magistrate, but at this time he finally found an opportunity to reverse the case for his cousin, and he didn't have time to say hello to others.

Seeing Lin Ze's patience, Xu Xiaoshi didn't dare to get up, continued to kowtow three times on his knees, and then cried,

"Master Imperial Envoy, I beg you to make the decision for Cousin Xiaomin. Xiaomin and Cousin were originally from Hongzao Village, Qingshan County. Cousin works in a family named Tang..."

What happened was very simple. A pair of poor cousins ​​went to work in a rich family. The younger brother was favored by the young master of the mansion because of his good looks, and he was often harassed.

That young master is a very playful dude, often taking advantage of younger brothers and girls and being irresponsible, he has killed many young girls and innocent brothers, and has a very bad reputation.

So the poor little brother didn't resist, and the young master didn't get angry for a while, so he started to make trouble for others, and he wanted to use the old method to force him.

Fortunately, the little brother and cousin arrived, which stopped the incident from happening.

The two cousins ​​originally planned to quit their jobs and leave to escape the disaster, but the young master drowned and died not long after. Someone in the family pointed out that it was the cousin who pushed the man into the pond to avenge his personal revenge, so the cousin was naturally caught as the murderer stand up.
