My Daming New Empire

Page 581

From Yongle ten years into his official career, he first served as a county magistrate in Hebei, and three years later he won a high school, and was promoted to Qufu as a county magistrate.

In Qufu, he had a deep relationship with the Kong family. This time, even the Kong family may find it difficult to rescue him.

It is not uncommon to use imperial labor to work for the gentry, but these cannot be put on the table.

In addition, with the support of the Confucian government, he boycotted Nanyang grain and raised grain prices. These are all crimes that are difficult to clear.

What's more, later, because of the use of labor to build canals for the Confucian government, they dug up other people's ancestral graves.

Now that these three things have come together, he has no chance of escaping his responsibility.

The carriage was swaying, and he sat in the cage leaning against the railing, with his head down, not wanting others to see his face.

But eight years later, his life seemed to be over.

The carriage stopped suddenly. "Old lady, what's the matter?"

The old woman took out two silver coins and wanted to hand them to the guards, but because she was not used to such actions, the two silver coins fell on the concrete floor.

The old lady blushed, but the clerk of the Ministry of Punishment didn't care. He swooped down, picked up two silver coins, and said with a smile, "The old lady is right."

Only then did the old lady point to the carriage and said, "Can I have a few words with Nizi?"

The officer smiled and said: "This is His Majesty's grace, as long as you don't talk about the case, you can talk, I will give you a stick of incense time."

Uncle Yan heard his mother's voice, as if in a dream, looked up again, couldn't help crying, turned around and knelt down in the cage. "The unfilial son has seen his mother and shamed her. I deserve death."

The old lady came to the front of the carriage, looking at the son in the cage, her heart felt like a knife.

The young woman behind him couldn't bear it for a long time, she just yelled "Master" and knelt down on the ground.

The two children who were happily playing with the little maid in the carriage couldn't help crying when they saw their mother like this.

Among them, the old lady seemed the calmest. "Boy, look up."

Uncle Yan burst into tears, not daring to look up. "The child is ashamed of his mother."

"It's not me that you are ashamed of, but the ancestors of the Yan family, and your father who died of exhaustion before the age of 40 just to support you in studying. Don't say that you just made mistakes, even if you are heinous, you are still on me. Falling meat!"

Yan Shutong knelt on the car, kowtowed non-stop, his forehead hit the car board with a bang. "Mother, the child is wrong."

The old lady couldn't bear this kind of scene, she held on to the wooden rail of the carriage, and reached out to touch his somewhat dirty hair.

Yan Shutong didn't dare to move anymore, feeling his mother's touch.

"Fortunately, I was born in the outskirts of the capital. I have inquired about it these days. Although you made mistakes, my son, you are not guilty of death. As long as you can survive, there is still hope. Whether you are exiled to the North or exiled Nanyang, this time the whole family will bear it together."

Yan Shutong howled loudly: "It's the child who is sorry for the mother!"

"You are good at making atonement. Don't hate the criminal officer. If you confess, you will be lenient. There is no need to worry at home, the old man can still hold on. Xiuzhu, you bring the children here and meet their father."

The convoy escorting the prisoner could not see the end at a glance, and a carriage was a scene of joys and sorrows.

The capital is well-informed, and the people watching the excitement have long known that these officials violated the imperial decree and prevented the people from Shandong from immigrating.

They also boycotted Nanyang food, preferring to let people starve to death, rather than let life-saving food be transported to Shandong.

So they didn't receive much sympathy, but they also harvested a lot of rotten eggs and rotten leaves.

Yan Shutong saw a rotten vegetable leaf hanging on his mother's head, but she didn't seem to feel it, and didn't look up at all.

This made Yan Shutong even more sad, wishing he could pay off with his own body.

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and my mother should also atone with you."

Er Gouzi, who was still standing not far away, couldn't stand it. What sin did the old lady and that young woman deserve? How could they be insulted like this.

He bumped Liu Chunyang beside him with his shoulder. "Let's help keep order."

These fourteen or fifteen-year-old children have not yet been identified. When they came, they hated these prisoners, but they couldn't bear to see their family members being abused.

Dozens of cadet soldiers came here today. Although they couldn't take care of everyone, when they stood in front of them, many people no longer dared to throw things away.

It wasn't until the convoy slowly entered the city that the place gradually calmed down.Er Gouzi saw his younger brother and sister playing well, and said goodbye to everyone. "What happens today is a lesson for tomorrow, and you and I should keep it in our hearts."

Liu Chunyang nodded and said, "We must not be bad officials in the future, we must be honest and good officials."

At first, Er Gouzi didn't know what article he was going to write about today, but at this time, he already had an idea.

At this time, he saw Ma Dezhong with a solemn face coming over in a carriage, he couldn't help but wanted to shout, but stopped.

Mr. Ma is performing official duties, wait for him to take a rest before going to play football with them

He didn't bother Ma Dezhong, but a group of four rode over quickly. "Mr. Ma Ba, His Highness knows that you have suffered a tragedy, and specially ordered me to call you into the palace."

"Call me into the palace?" As soon as the boat docked, Ma Dezhong knew that the current Daming had left the prince and directly let the grandson supervise the country.

This news made everyone in the navy very excited. They will be the pro-army of the grandson of Jian Guo in the future!

It's still morning, shouldn't His Royal Highness be dealing with government affairs?

(After the [-]-character update, I fell down and hit my ribs. It may be fractured. Go to the hospital now.)

Chapter 48 Activities

"Second brother!" As soon as they entered the city, Duan Renzhi and Sunan poked their heads out from the second floor of a restaurant.Duan Renzhi didn't wear military uniform today, he dressed like a rich man.

His family conditions are good, and he has no habit of saving money these years, and spends the money he earns casually.

But the wife he married was also used to being rich, and she spent most of her salary on him these years.

But now he is the number one star of the navy's Cuju team, and he can also receive a large salary from the Cuju team every month, and his life is much better than that of ordinary players.

Ma Dezhong reined in the horse and jumped off the horse. "Big Brother, Third Younger Brother, His Royal Highness has summoned you, so there is no need to delay, when I go home, we brothers will get drunk again."

Hearing Ma Dezhong's words, Sunan and Duan Renzhi quickly came out of the restaurant.They first saluted the four servants, and then said to Ma Dezhong: "We have heard about the second brother. Even though the Kong family is a saint, they can't bully people like this. Commander Qian told me yesterday that I The navy is on your side this time, and you must make the Kong family bow their heads."

On the way home, Ma Dezhong thought about various countermeasures, but he never thought that the navy could stand behind him this time.

I am an ant shaking a big tree to the Kong family, but if the power of the navy supports him, this justice will be easy to seek.

He was surprised and said, "Why did a little thing of mine startle so many people?"

It is not surprising that His Royal Highness knows about him, but if the city is full of storms, it is not easy to form a consensus in the navy now.

Sunan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since His Highness summoned you, you should hurry up and have dinner at my house at noon, and the three of us have a good drink."

Duan Renzhi also pretended to be heroic and said: "Although I don't drink well, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman today."
