dressed as a scholar

"Magistrate Qian, I have worked hard for you these days."

"Mr. Tongju's words are a disgrace to the lower official. It's because the adult is worried and busy, but the lower official didn't help much."

Ji Congyong looked at Qian Wuzhang who was pretending to be stupid, and there was no charismatic smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter whether it's hard work or not helpful, you don't have to worry about it anymore, leave the matter of Yuncheng in the hands of the old man, and you have a good rest."

Qian Wuzhang felt cold when he heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward to keep the person who was about to leave: "Master Tongju! You and I have been classmates for decades."

"The friendship I have turned a blind eye to for decades as a classmate should have come to an end. I never slapped you in the face in public to embarrass you during the trial of the moldy case, and the relatives who dealt with you never made you public. Qian Wuzhang, me and your half-way classmate can be regarded as the most benevolent."

Qian Wuzhang knew that it was difficult to whitewash this matter, but how could he be willing to fail in his business for many years, he had already taken root in Yuncheng these years, if he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, he would really have nothing.

He threw out the last trump card: "Master Xuezheng is going back to the city soon, why don't we get together some other day."

Ji Congyong squinted at Qian Wuzhang: "Qian Wuzhang, you don't have to use Xuezheng to suppress me anymore, not to mention that your daughter has not yet married into Xuezheng, even if she is married, Xuezheng is not in charge of Yuncheng government affairs He is just here to see the students! Now that the three-year term is about to expire, Xuezheng will never stay in Yuncheng no matter whether he is going abroad or returning to Beijing. You have done so many good things, thinking that Xuezheng is really stupid , will risk protecting you for a daughter-in-law? You are taking yourself too seriously!"

Li Xuezheng and Qian Wuzhang were somewhat cousins. Ever since Xuezheng came to Yuncheng as a foreigner, and then intentionally revealed that he would appoint a girl from Qian's family for the boy, Qian Wuzhang took advantage of the situation to shake up. In the past two years, he was about to ride It's on his head, whether it's because he is afraid of studying politics or caring about his classmates, he has made Qian Wuzhang live a very comfortable life in the past two years.

The last fig leaf was pulled off, Qian Wuzhang blushed and couldn't utter a word, so he could only stare at Ji Congyong and shake his sleeves away.

.......

"Zhang Shiyuan dared to entrap the common people so recklessly. He only sold processed moldy rice openly for profit because he was backed by Qian County Magistrate. Zhang Shiyuan has been the sharp claw of Qian County Magistrate to collect money these years. Knowing this, although Zhang Shiyuan was punished, the Zhang family I can't stand up in Yuncheng anymore, but County Magistrate Qian is still an official in Yuncheng."

In the blink of an eye, it is already October, and there is a lot of rain in autumn, but in late autumn and winter, the weather is sunny and sunny, and it is not cold or hot, but it is quite comfortable.Tonight, fifteen months are like a white jade plate, tea is brewed under the moonlight, and in the peaceful time that has not been seen for a long time, Qiao Hezhi can't help but sigh leisurely when he thinks about how to deal with the moldy rice.

"Now you have offended County Magistrate Qian. In the future, if he wants to make things difficult in a county, then what should we do?"

Fang Yu took a sip of hot tea: "He now knows that I am a protégé of Lord Tongpan, and that Lord thinks highly of me, so if he comes to embarrass me, he is making things difficult for him. How could he make trouble for himself. Besides..."

He laughed, looked at Qiao Hezhi, who was frowning, and said, "Master Tongju is already quite disappointed with him because of the mildewed rice. A few days ago, he found out that Qian Wuzhang secretly sold land to merchants at high prices and many other illegal activities." Regarding the matter, your lord told me in private that when we return to Fucheng, we will report to the magistrate Qian Wuzhang's many criminal evidences, and then the magistrate will go to Beijing to submit a copy to him, and our county magistrate will be changed in Yuncheng."

"really?"

"Qian Wuzhang has many mistakes and omissions, and the judge has tolerated him a lot these years, but the fact that moldy rice has touched the bottom line. Although many people have been affected, fortunately no one has been injured. In time, not only the county magistrate Qian will be dismissed, but even the magistrate will have to bear the blame." Fang Yu said: "When it really affects their own interests, everyone will act more vigorously. Although Qian Wuzhang is still in the county right now. The title of order, but in fact many political affairs have already been taken over by the general judge."

"Although the county magistrate is a small official, it is not easy to get a job in a wealthy county like Yuncheng. You have to be a well-known Jinshi. For this reason, it is not easy to dismiss the county magistrate. As for the matter, those people in the capital have to get the news before they can decide."

Fang Yu squeezed Qiao Hezhi's hand: "I know you are worried about me, and you also hate Qian Wuzhang, but now that the non-commissioned officer is in power, Qian Wuzhang has quite a foundation, and it is not as easy to deal with him as it is to deal with Zhang Shiyuan." If it wasn't for this, even Zhang Shiyuan wouldn't have been doing evil in Yuncheng for so many years."

After listening to Fang Yu Yitong's analysis, Qiao Hezhi had a better understanding of these matters, as long as his husband was fine, he would feel at ease.

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he also sighed: "Master Tongju has taken the power of Qian Wuzhang, and there are too many things to manage now. He told me today that there will be places where he will order me to do things, and he took a few days off at the academy. A few days ago, Mr. Zhang let his classmates come out to help, and I accepted it, and it was time to go back to the academy. It’s been a long time since I’ve been busy, and it seems that I won’t be free in the future.”

Qiao Hezhi watched his laziness come up again, and knew his temper, saying that he was lazy was really lazy, but when he had something to do, he was more able to work hard than anyone else.He patted Fang Yu's forehead lightly: "Being honored by Mr. Ji, it is natural to take care of him and share his worries."

"Neither~"

Fang Yu said: "Your Excellency knows that I have something to ask him, so he used this matter to blackmail me."

Qiao Hezhi felt a little uneasy when he heard the words: "What's the matter?"

Fang Yu chuckled, lowered his head and took out something from his sleeve. He originally wanted to decorate it in a brocade box and give it to Xiao Qiao, but right now he couldn't help but want to take it out to make him happy.

"What is this?"

Seeing the cake-like object wrapped in a towel, Qiao Hezhi pinched it with his fingers and found that it was hard.He had some suspicions in his heart, and quickly opened the handkerchief, seeing a corner of the seal exposed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when the handkerchief was completely taken off, a family seal engraved with the three characters of Qiao Hezhi on the front fell on the palm of his hand.

He turned to the back, and there was an exquisite Shi character engraved on it. His fingertips ran across the engraving, his eyes were slightly hot, and he finally waited until today.

Fang Yu saw his emotions, and gently put his hand on the back of his hand, and held the seal in the palms of the two people: "I always heard that this thing is precious and useful, but it also stays rigidly for listing. Shops and restaurants can jump in line to get better hospitality, because it is always hanging on my waist, and I don't pay much attention to it, but I don't know that many times people don't look at the person first, but at the family seal. I'm being polite, but they don't talk about it all the time because they've got it ingrained in their minds."

"It wasn't until my father-in-law had an accident that I truly realized the importance of the seal of residence for scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce. If you had had your seal earlier, you wouldn't have received so many blank glances and been underestimated at will." He took Qiao Hezhi's shoulders: " This is supposed to be a gift from your husband to commemorate our one-year marriage."

Qiao Hezhi was moved while holding the seal. Although this seal was not as powerful as Fang's exquisite luxury, he leaped from the last merchant register to the scholar register and fulfilled his parents' expectations. He was very happy in his heart. In addition, Fang Yu had promised him a few months ago that he would give him a seal of residence, but he never expected that he would always take this matter to heart despite all the troubles.

"Do you want to give gifts at this time?" He turned his head and looked at the man surrounding him, surprised in his heart, and whispered: "I don't know many customs there, why didn't you tell me earlier, so I also want to prepare presents."

Fang Yu laughed: "I'll just send you off, you don't need to worry about preparing anything."

"Then this custom is really good."

Qiao Hezhi looked down at the seal in his hand, and couldn't put it down. Fang Yu tied it on his belt for him, and took the opportunity to hug him into his arms.

"Aren't you ashamed, it's in the yard."

Qiao Hezhi sat on Fang Yu's lap, glanced around a few times, and was relieved when he saw that no one was watching. These days are busy, and the two have their own concerns, so they have never been as close as before. Today's situation is amazing He is a little rusty.

Fang Yu held Qiao Hezhi's waist and rubbed against his back: "Why don't we go live outside tonight."

It's not just a little fledgling that hasn't been humanized yet. When Fang Yu said this, Qiao Hezhi could understand what he meant.

That thing was done in Fucheng before, although the first experience was more of a kind of enjoyment in the heart, and it was a pain in the body, but the days in Fucheng were idle and full of energy, Fang Yu always coaxed He would come back once a day or two. Those days were frequent, but he really complied with Fang Yu's saying that "practice makes perfect". Have some fun.

When he thought about it later, he was really skinny and shameless, and he couldn't bear to think about it.Things happened one after another after they came back, and the two never thought about those things again, but now Qiao Hezhi felt that he was the only one who didn't think about it. I don't know how many times this person has thought about it.

"No, no." Qiao Hezhi ruthlessly refused, "The mourning period is only two months away."

Fang Yu hugged the man and planted his head on Qiao Hezhi's back, what is meant by being unbearable to watch, his life is more bitter than that of an eunuch.It has only been two months, and he feels that 200 years have passed.

Seeing his frowning look, Qiao Hezhi persuaded him in a low voice: "If, if I become pregnant during the filial piety, I will be ridiculed and criticized. You, do you think I am like this?"

"I can't bear you like this." Otherwise, why would I wait until today.

In the past, he tried every means to stop people who voluntarily sent to his door, but now people are trying their best to prevent and persuade him not to think about lust. Does God have to make such a joke with him?

Fang Yu buried himself in Qiao Hezhi's annoyance, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "Then don't want you to sleep with me tonight, go to Xiaotongyuan alone to sleep."
