Chapter 1375： Extraordinary Qi Xiuyuan (8)

  Uncle Zhu cleaned up Qi Xiuyuan, put on clean clothes, and covered his face with a hot towel. After seeing the blood on his face, he let the mammy sent by Qi's mother enter the door.

As soon as she came in, she saw that the eldest young master was sitting helplessly on the bed watching the two children, while the two children on the bed were sitting side by side, one with bulging cheeks and the other with a small face. angry.

Mamma thought of herself, went up to greet the three little masters, and left after a few greetings.

Qi Xiuyuan immediately said to his younger brother and cousin: "You all go back now, don't stay here." He touched Qi Haoran's head and said with a gentle expression: "Brother, rest assured, brother will take good medicine and take care of his body."

Yesterday's incident made Qi Xiuyuan's Qi family's people on infinite alert. He didn't want his younger brother to meet Qi's mother.

Uncle Zhu didn't know what happened yesterday, but he also knew that the eldest young master was more alert to the Qifu. There must be nothing good yesterday, so he immediately sent the two out of the residence.

Mother Qi wanted to take a look at her little grandson on a whim after listening to her report, and when she learned that the person had left, the feeling of disobedience reappeared.

She thought for a while with a sullen face, and instructed: "Let people stare at the eldest young master and see what he is doing recently."

Mother Qi coughed a few times and sighed: "My health is getting worse and worse, maybe I will not be here at some point, Feng'er is confused about the matter of the back house, and Wu's eyelids are shallow, you should take care of it more in the future. "

Mamma said with a smile: "The old lady has a long life. This is what you think about these days. When you have a good rest, you will let go of this state of mind."

But this is not possible, because the old lady soon died.

Uncle Zhu was the uncle of the Zhu family who stayed with Qi Xiuyuan. Qi Xiuyuan sent news to the two uncles through Xia Tong, but in fact Uncle Zhu and the others also had their own channels, and they were faster and more secretive than Xia Tong.

Seeing that the little master went to the main house, he was so frightened that he had a high fever, and he was a little nervous for a few days, so it was impossible for Uncle Zhu not to report it to the master.

He wanted to find out what happened that day and then report it, but firstly, the little master resisted, and secondly, everyone in Qi's yard was kicked out that day, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Uncle Zhu can only inform the two uncles about the abnormality of the little master, and the uncle has to check what happened.

Zhu Qing received the secret letter from Uncle Zhu, and sneered in his heart, he didn't check at all, as long as he knew that Qi mother threatened his nephew, and might hurt his two nephews, it was enough.

Coincidentally, Qi Feng was trying his best to impeach a local magistrate, accusing him of opening a granary and buying and selling grain.

As a censor, Qi Feng was still a censor who was not strict with his family and had a stained body. He had a bad life in the censor's desk these years.

Although Da Zhou was not particular about it, there were many officials under Jingyan who were even more absurd than him, but as a censor, the most important thing was reputation.

has a bad reputation, and when he went to impeach others, his momentum was weakened by three points.

For the past three years, Qi Feng has been an invisible figure in the censor's desk. It was all because of too much trouble with the Zhu family that year. His colleagues in the censor's desk disliked him, and when he impeached other officials, they often used this Things attack.

As a supervising official, the censor was originally promoted by impeachment. He was expected to be promoted to the fourth rank three years ago, but was disturbed by the Zhu family. In the past three years, he was suppressed everywhere because of the events of the year. , which is also one of the reasons why Qi Feng has been resentful and dissatisfied with his two sons.

Every day when he goes to work, someone looks at him with strange eyes. Every time he impeaches others, the dead Zhu Wan and the living Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran are the reasons why he is attacked. Even if Qi Feng felt a little bit of guilt for his two children at first also worn away.

At this time, he just wanted to get rid of them, but he was afraid that when they died, the dogs would jump off the wall, so Qi Xiuyuan was not allowed to study, leaving people to fend for themselves.

The impeachment of the local magistrate this time is a battle he is preparing for three years, all because the magistrate comes from a side branch of the first family, and the evidence of privately opening the granary is conclusive, and now it is a fact that there is not a grain of rice left in the granary.

He decided to use this matter to be ashamed and open a way for himself, because this county magistrate and this noble family offended Qin Xiang.

Although Qin Xiang is a traitor and is often attacked by others, it is true that he holds a lot of power. Although Qi Feng does not want to officially vote for him, it is also possible to check his favorability.

But unfortunately, Zhu Qing also knew the county magistrate, and he knew more about his private granary.

That county is just below the Bian county where he was stationed. They had just had a battle with Daikin a few years ago, and the losses were severe. Many people's houses were destroyed and their food was robbed, so they had to move to the next county.

So many victims flocked in, with no food, no clothes to keep out the cold, not even a thatched hut. The county magistrate was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were bubbling. While organizing wealthy households in the county to donate grain and money to help the victims, he wrote to the court asking for permission. Put grain in the warehouse and ask for relief silver taels.

But that book is like a mud ball into the sea, and there is no sound at all.

After a winter and the beginning of spring, the county magistrate no matter how many discounts there are, it is useless, there is no other way, but to write a letter to ask the family for help to mention one or two in the court.

Unfortunately, it was still useless, because Emperor Jingyan was most afraid of hearing about this kind of thing.

The emperor and courtiers can shirk the blame, but as a front-line county magistrate, he cannot let the people die, and the money and silver donated by the rich have reached their limit. He was able to open the granary privately, not only that, but he also returned the grain seeds that should have been turned over to the imperial court to the people, allowing them to open up wasteland for farming.

This matter was a lot of trouble, he had decided not to wear this black gauze hat, and he could still do it if he wanted to save his life with the energy of his family.

But Qi Feng obviously didn't think so. He wanted to behead him, in order to lay his foundation in the censor's desk, and it was also a gift to Qin Xiang.

Zhu Qing was still hesitating whether to plead for the county magistrate. After all, although it was wrong for him to open the grain depot privately, it was also for the benefit of the people.

But seeing his nephew being so bullied by Qi's mother, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. Since you bullied my nephew, I had no choice but to bully your son.

As a general guarding the border, Zhu Qing has a strong voice in the DPRK. , the frontier people are doing this because of the injustice of a county magistrate...

In short, the court disregarded the life and death of the people, and did not give food and silver to the relief, leaving the people without food and clothing. There was objection as early as a few years ago, but it happened that the local county magistrate did the relief properly, and then opened the granary to appease the people. , Who would have thought that the imperial court wanted to indict the magistrate, which naturally made the people extremely angry, and this was why his mind was floating, and the fact that he was provoked by Dajin's spies almost caused a catastrophe.

At this time, Dazhou was not peaceful at home and abroad, there were strong enemies outside, and there were constant uprisings among the people. What Emperor Jingyan was most afraid of was hearing that the people in a certain place raised the flag of rebellion again. The imperial censor impeached a county magistrate, and was immediately furious.

This matter cannot be the fault of Emperor Jingyan, nor can it be the fault of the ministers in the court, it can only be the fault of Qi Feng.
