Huang Zicheng squinted his eyes slightly, and paced lightly under the porch.
For a long, long time, he stood softly.
In the spring of this year, there has just been a case of Ding Chou's scientific examination, the imperial court has taken 51 scholars, all of whom are southerners, the north has raised a lot of people, the door of the Ministry of Rites has almost been smashed, a large number of northern candidates have shouted grievances along the road, petitioned and complained, making the whole Jinling City boiling and rioting, more than a dozen northern supervision envoys jointly signed a letter, accusing the examiner of cheating for personal gain, favoring the southerners, and the emperor is worried about how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.
The students from the north and the south are quarreling, and in the court, the civil officials from the north and the south are also quarrelling.
If there is another fierce conflict between the two major factions of Wenchen and the military generals at this time, will the emperor use thunderous means to deal with it categorically, as before, or will he settle the matter and make concessions Recalling the emperor's consistent attitude in court politics in recent years, Huang Zicheng smiled confidently The students continued to protest with the silent support of the Guozijian's sacrificial wine, eunuchs, and teachings, and the imperial court has remained silent about Yang Xu's case.
A few days later, several southern envoys began to sue Xu Zengshou, the governor of the Chinese military capital, for abusing national law and wrongly convicting and wrongly convicting him, but the court remained silent.
And the northern inspectors are not free, they are busy fighting for the students in their hometowns, criticizing the spring exam, and the examiners cheating.
Similarly, because these high-level officials are strategic, far-sighted, and the people they really want to achieve and the people they want to deal with are not Yang Xu at all, so although this turmoil is getting worse, he, the party, is still safe and sound.
But this does not mean that he is not in danger, once this contest is decided, or if both sides take a step back and reach some kind of political agreement, then he will inevitably become a sacrifice for peace or rupture between the two sides.
"The Yang family is the first surname in Moling Town, and Yang Rong is the patriarch of the Yang family, so he is also the grain chief of Moling Town.
The grain chief is mainly responsible for the collection and transportation of field grain in the area under his jurisdiction.
And the grain chief himself is the biggest local squire, and he is the emperor of the soil in the countryside, and his authority is extremely heavy, so if the grain chief is greedy and wants to go up and down, embezzle money and grain, and escape the grain shortage, it is very easy.
In the past, our Jinyiwei has also investigated crimes in this area, and there are a few experienced officials, which now come in handy.
According to them, the main means used by the grain chief to embezzle money and grain were the regimental bureau's creation of registers, fictitious receipts, stealing and selling in warehouses, arbitrarily levying taxes, sprinkling grain shortages, sending grain to the fields, sprinkling and distributing famine, collecting and embezzling money, escaping from servitude, and embezzling and giving relief.
They went to the household department to inspect Yang Rong's customs clearance over the years, and then checked the tax payment slips of various grain households in Jiangning County one by one, and found that Yang Rong had indeed done tricks, and his main means of doing tricks and feet was to buy and collect money falsely. ” Xia Xun said incomprehensibly: "Buying and receiving" Xiao Qianyue said with a smile: "Yes, if he is an official, this kind of corrupt method will be called selling."
Hehe, Hongwu's eighteenth year household servant Guo Huan's fraud case of selling public grain, have you heard of it?"
Of course, I have heard that one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, how could Xia Xun not know that Guo Heng, the household servant at that time, put half of the autumn grain collected into the warehouse, and the half that was not recorded in the account was privately divided with a group of corrupt officials, and was reported by others, which set off a bloody storm in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Xia Xun nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it, is Yang Rong greedy enough to be sentenced?"
Xiao Qianyue said: "Over the years, Yang Rong has been greedy for no less than 1,800 quintals of grain, and there was an official in Zhejiang who was greedy for 200 quintals of rice, do you know how the emperor judged?"
Xia Xun said: "How to judge" Xiao Qianyue said gloomily: "The emperor pressed two hundred loads of rice on him, and before the rice was finished, he was suffocated to death, and then, peeled the skin, made a Chengren skin lantern, and hung it at the door of the granary." ” Xia Xun was clever and shivered, this old Zhu was not only jealous and hateful, but also very targeted to his surname, which was quite a bit of Buddhism's karma.
You are greedy for rice, how much you are greedy, I will press you as much as I want, and then I will peel you and make a lamp and hang it on the granary to warn future generations.
In fact, Lao Zhu has done a lot of similar things, such as a general who once followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, presided over the construction of the Tribute Academy after the founding of the country, cut corners when building student dormitories, and embezzled 2,000 banknotes.
Xiao Qianyue smiled and said: "However, what the emperor hates most is the corruption of officials, Yang Rong is a citizen, and he will not use this special punishment."
According to my great law, those who collect food and goods, hide them for themselves, and buy them falsely and collect them will be put to death, and their family property will be confiscated.
Have you seen enough?"
Xia Xun said with a heavy gaze: "Not enough."
It was not enough that the mother was forced to death by the gluttony of the clansmen, and the father left his hometown for this; Now that the souls of my parents have been humiliated again, and I, if I hadn't been lucky enough to catch up with the Zhongshan Palace, what would be the end now Since I have torn my face, I will make them completely bow their heads" Xiao Qianyue raised her big finger and said: "This is what my Jinyi Guard should say haha, don't worry, I have other plans." ” He squeezed his eyes at Xia Xun, dipped the tea and gestured on the table: "Oh, this is the house of the old Yang Lao of the Yang family, Yang Lao is Yang Rong's brother, and he has always been breathing out of the same nostril."
In the imperial court system, officials and ordinary people, it is not allowed to use mountains and heavy eaves roofs to build houses, and it is not allowed to use heavy arches and caisson wells.
The houses of the common people are not allowed to use arches and colors.
And the inner flower hall of Yang Rong's house has gold paintings, and the bricks and stones have carved patterns, which is the crime of trespassing."
There is a certain system in the dynasties.
Even the Song Dynasty, which had the most relaxed atmosphere, also stipulated that officials below the sixth grade could not build aconitum doors in front of their houses, and the common people's houses were only allowed to enter five deep frames, and only one gate house was allowed, and it was not allowed to use cornices, heavy arches, four paving, caisson wells and colorful decorations.
The Ming Dynasty was even more institutionalized.
But despite this, it still can't stand the officials and the people intentionally or unintentionally transgressing the rules.
For example, the general Zhou Dexing's mansion exceeded the system, because he was Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow villager and had great military exploits, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally pardoned him, so he was exempted, otherwise his head would not have to fall to the ground.
After this happened a few times, people in the officialdom began to pay attention to it, so as not to be taken advantage of by political enemies, but the people are not very particular, and the wealthy people in Jiangnan have more or less exceeded the rules in the decoration of their houses, and the Yang family is naturally no exception.
It's just that you're not afraid of no good things, but you're afraid that there are no good people, it's okay for others to violate the ban, and if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, then something will happen if you violate the ban.
Xiao Qianyue said: "Here, this is Yang Yi's house, the east and west wings and the inverted seat are two rooms each, and there is no corridor connection between the main house, the two compartments and the inverted seat.
Its shape conforms to the regulations of the common people's houses, but the main roof beam has a monochrome outline of the dense brocade group decoration, which exceeds the system.
And Yang Yu is Yang Yi's grandson. ” Xiao Qianyue swiped her finger downward, and said: "This is Yang Wenwu's house, Yang Wenwu is a dilapidated household, three dilapidated houses, and he can't afford to spend that spare money even if he overdues."
However, there is a blister in his backyard, which is a pool when the family was not defeated, and there are two rockeries in it, and I will make another one for him, one pond and three mountains, the emperor's system."
Xiao Qianyue held her palm like a knife, pulled it down, and said viciously: "The amount is not a gentleman, it is not a husband, it is not a husband, this trick is enough to cut him all over the house" Xia Xun shook his head and said: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, his wife and children are old and young, I don't want to be involved." ” "Uh", Xiao Qianyue said: "There is only one person in his family, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry." ” Xia Xun glanced at him and sneered: "Then what kind of cow are you bragging?"
” Xiao Qianyue laughed dryly and said: "I just want to say, I shouldn't let go, I didn't let go of any of them, is this time enough?"
"Not enough" This time it was Xiao Qianyue's turn to be surprised: "What do you want to do, it's a bit difficult" Xia Xun said: "If we do this, we can only use the criminal law to defeat them, they are not only them now, there are many clans behind them who sympathize with each other, scholars who have the same hatred and hatred, and officials who think they are presiding over the righteousness, can we fight?"
Xiao Qianyue said blankly: "Then what do you want?"

Xia Xun said: "I still want to stink them."
Fight down, fight smell. ” "He's more ruthless than me" Xiao Qianyue looked at Xia Xun's seemingly harmless face and began to worship: "But we really haven't done this before, generally speaking, it's enough to kill them, uh, what should I do" Xia Xun said: "I have asked someone to help, she will do better than you in this matter."
Yang Chong's injury, how is it going?"
"Almost."
"Good" Xia Xun slowly stood up, and Xiao Xiao said: "Then, let's start with him."
Yang Chong's injury is almost better, the skin is only injured, and it is scabbed, as long as the movements are not too violent, he can walk freely in all directions.
In the evening, Yang Chong left Guozijian with square steps, as if he was taking a walk after dinner, strolling under Jilong Mountain for a while, and gradually paced into a small alley, seeing that there was no one left and right, and immediately flashed into the corner door of a house with white walls.
There are few people in this small alley, and the corner doors of large families are usually locked, but at this time the door is only hidden, and it is clear that someone deliberately left the door for him.
In the firewood room, a man and a woman hugged each other tightly.
"Scarlet."
"Brother Chong, how are you, I've been dying in a hurry these days, and I can't go to see you, I just heard my father mention you a few words" "I'm fine, it's not very convenient for me to go anywhere these days, if it weren't for you to let Yun'er deliver notes several times in succession, I wouldn't be able to come over tonight.
Why are you so bold that you're not afraid of being known by your father?"
"People are worried about you, my father went out tonight, so I asked you out.
I just want to see you, it really doesn't matter if you're hurt, people are frightened and secretly cry several times" Yang Chong kissed her movingly and said: "Scarlet clothes, you are still the best for me, I'm fine, I will be alive and well in two days as usual."
Now for my business, there has been a lot of noise in the court, you see, I must pay this debt ten times as much.
Originally, I just wanted to cut his fame, but this time, it's hard for him not to die, hum" "Oh, leave that damn Yang Xu alone, get down and let me see your injuries."
After seeing Yang Chong's injury, the two people who didn't see each other were born, although because Yang Chong was injured, he couldn't enjoy himself, but it was inevitable to pick and touch and hug, and the two people were disheveled and their tongues were smacking each other's mouth, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the scarlet close-fitting girl Huanyun'er outside: "Ah master" Followed by a crisp slap, with a scream from Xiaoyun, the door was kicked open with a bang, and the country's priest Jiu Wu Qi'an broke into the firewood room, and saw the unsightly pair of men and women, so angry that he almost fainted, he trembled his fingers and pointed at Yang Chong, and shouted to the servants of the family who were carrying sticks in the back: "Beat this little animal to the old man and beat it to death, beat it to death."
