Feng Xing

After waiting two more days, the official in the mouth of the old shopkeeper finally came.

Only two people came, dressed in bureaucracy, very impatient.

"What about people?"

"Grandpa, are you asking the dead to kill the murderer?"

The old shopkeeper accompanied him carefully, and the two bureaucrats were also polite. After entering, they found a table and sat down with a gold knife.Kuizi was busy carrying the teapot and pouring tea for the two.

"Of course it is the murderer. We probably have heard from the people in your shop on the road, you don't have to repeat it anymore, get some good wine and good food. It's not easy for our brothers to come here, just riding a horse For a long time, I will go to the road when I finish eating and drinking, and I have to rush back to regain my life."

"The two official lords wait a moment, the wine and vegetables will come soon."

The old shopkeeper prepared a table of meals at a very fast rate, and the chicken, duck, fish and wine were all available. It is also rare in this wild mountain wilderness.

Fang Fengsheng and Fan Jinchuan, as the main personnel who broke the murder case this time, have been waiting by the side.Who knows that when people came, they didn't ask about the case at all, and didn't ask anything, so they ate here and ate without even giving them extra eyes.

After the two bureaucrats finished eating and drinking, they were full of alcohol, but they weren't drunk, so that they brought Chen Si and the porters out.

There is only one chain, which is used to lock Chen Si, and the other three follow behind themselves.

"Okay, we won't stay too much. We will come back to you when we turn around."

That being said, the two did not move.

Fan Jinchuan kept holding his words. At this time, when he saw someone about to leave, he couldn't help but stepped forward: "The two officials don't ask the case in detail? Are you afraid of catching the wrong person, wrong case, false case?"

One of the government officials glanced at him with drunken eyes: "Are you an official, or are we an official? We can use your hand to point your finger at us? He has already said that he found a real murderer, and this real murderer will not plead guilty. If something happens, you will find him, what do you worry about!"

This he refers to the old shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper has been accompanied by a bitter smile.At this point, Fan Jinchuan understood why there was a murder case, the old shopkeeper would have that expression.

Fang Fengsheng stepped forward and smiled: "The two officials, my elder brother is not sensible, don't worry about him."

At this time, the silver that the old shopkeeper of Caicai had let people take was also brought.

He stepped forward with a smile and shoved it into the hands of one of them, and then the bureaucrat beat him, and then looked at the old shopkeeper with a smile.

"Okay. But there are four people. We rode two horses and we couldn't take them away. You can get a car to follow us."

"This is ready without the command of the official."

After a while, the old shopkeeper sent the people back and looked at Fang Fengsheng and smiled bitterly: "This matter is finally over. In this matter, I almost didn't toss the little old man for half his life."

"They're like this, no one is in charge?" Fan Jinchuan said in a grudge.

The old shopkeeper thumped his leg: "Why, how do you manage it? Like we opened a store here, we are all without money and no one, so we point here to feed our families. Whether they can open a store or not is all in one sentence. Don’t be more true than this.

"But this kind of homicide case, they don't ask, and they don't check, they just take the people back to be taken into custody.

The old shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Isn't the prince just said? Come and find it again if you have something." The definition of something serious means a lot.

When the old shopkeeper left, Fan Jinchuan was still angry.

"These servants should be severely punished and punished."

Seeing him like this, Fang Fengsheng couldn't help smiling.

"What's the good brother laughing?"

"Nothing to laugh. Right, some things may not be as simple as Brother Fan thought, these will be known after Brother Fan takes office."

"Yindi still understands this?"

Feng Sheng's eyes dimmed, and his face was still smiling: "It's said that it is a family history. I have seen a lot with my father before. This thing is also over. I plan to leave tomorrow. Brother Fan? "She digressed.

Fan Jinchuan was unprepared: "Leave so fast?"

"For this matter, a lot of time has been lost, and now the road is also dry. If you don't go, would you live here for a lifetime?"

"can--"

"What? Brother Fan still wants to stay?"

Fan Jinchuan glanced at her with a smile on her face, with a bit of regret: "My brother and I saw each other the same way, and we had the same temperament. I had thought about the scene of Bingzhu night probing and picking green, but unfortunately the world is full of feasts, it is inevitable."

"The mountains and rivers meet, maybe we will meet on the street someday. By the way, the destination of my trip is Yangzhou. Brother Fan?"

"Yangzhou? I have a few friends in Yangzhou. This time I had planned to visit friends in Yangzhou first, and then set off for the place of office."

"So, can we go together next?"

"It's extremely, it's extremely, and I hope Fang Xiandi will take care of it next."

Pedestrians are like weaves on Yangzhou City Street.

See you off for thousands of miles, and you have to be different.

In front of a carriage, Fang Fengsheng and Fan Jinchuan stood face to face.

"I don't know when I will see you again. Brother Fool and his brother Yin get along very well. He is regarded as a confidant, thinking of not seeing him again. He is very distressed in his heart, and hopes that he will take care of him in the future,

"Sure, Brother Fan too."

Fan Jinchuan nodded and turned around.

Not far away, Xiao Qi was waiting for him in a mule car.

He took two steps forward, suddenly stood still, and turned back in a big step: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu, there is something else, I don't know what to say, what to say?"

"please say."

He glanced at Feng Sheng first, and then looked away somehow, showing a little embarrassment.

"I see that the younger brother is very talented, and he has a lot of rules and regulations in his life. I expect that his future will be unlimited. But I need to know that karma is good at diligence and frivolity. Shepen to the end."

"I don't know if Brother Fan is referring to--"

"This--"

Fan Jinchuan looked amazed, there seemed to be something difficult to tell.

After thinking for a while, I lowered my voice and said: "Yindi will keep some distance with your two schoolchildren in the future. This equal part of peach play will erode people's ambitions, invisible people, and often violates Tian Dao Lun. It hurts my parents' heart. Brother Fool can't bear the decency of the wise brother.

Uh?

Feng Sheng stayed straight.

It was not until Zhiqiu came to her that she recovered and shook her head with a smile.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Feng Sheng glanced at the distant mule car and shook his fan: "Nothing, let's go."

...

"Son, where are we going now?"

After a pause, Xiao Qi couldn't help complaining: "Ming Ming said he didn't want to see anyone and went directly to work, but you just changed the itinerary temporarily and came to Yangzhou with Master Fang. The people have already come and don't see you See Master Du?"

"I came to Yangzhou this time to see Ziyue. I didn't tell you before. You did something with Fang Xiandi. As for Master Du, go to Ziyue and talk about it."

Fan Jinchuan entered the car and waited for a while before he saw the car.

"Why don't you go?"

Xiaoqi raised his whip and drove the car forward.

The same conversation about where to go is also repeated on Fang Fengsheng's party.

They really have no destination.

After some conversations with Uncle Yu, Fang Fengsheng also got some information.

The origin of the whole thing was that Zhou Guangrui discovered that the two Huaihuai salt administrations were fraught with ills, and they were sulking up and down.Zhou Guangrui was righteous and envious, but he wasn’t stupid. Once he did this, he wouldn’t be too small. He could only suppress it, check carefully, and collect evidence.

The more I looked down, the more shocking I was, and it was obvious that even if he didn't get involved, he couldn't get rid of the danger of the relationship once the case happened.

In order to protect himself, and also to be loyal to the monarch, Zhou Guangrui intends to expose the matter.

Therefore, the matter involved is too broad. Once it fails, it will never end, and it will involve many people.Also out of trust, Zhou Guangrui told the master Songge Lao about this matter, in order to allow Songge Lao to support from the middle of the DPRK.

Song Gelao was very attentive to this matter, and even repeatedly exchanged letters with Zhou Guangrui to advise him.

Song Ge’s supportive attitude also gave Zhou Guangrui unlimited confidence. He and Fang Yan spent a few days, and finally prepared a performance, and rushed to the Beijing teacher with 800 li.

It was this play that opened the beginning of the tragic ending of the two of them and Fang Yan.

First of all, it was imperial impeachment that Gu Bichang impeached him to accept the benefits of the salt merchants, and embezzled hundreds of thousands of interest deposits.Zhou Guangrui is far from Yangzhou, and the information is not well informed. The people who came to check came from the sky, and it was precisely in Zhoufu that he found dirty silver of unknown origin.

So Zhou Guangrui was taken into custody that night, together with Fang Yan's confidant.

Because Zhou Guangrui was very careful, every time he discussed this with Fang Yan, he would retreat to the left and right, so Uncle Yu did not know, and he would get the above information. He and Fang Fengsheng broke the words from Fang Yan and some of the things he explored before. The news came together.

However, since Zhou Zhourui and Fang Yan had an accident, all the friends who had been in contact with the two were closed behind, and everyone was afraid to avoid it. Uncle Yu was just a master's housekeeper, and he usually had no relationship with those officials and nobles. After Fang Yan died in prison, he tried many ways to get Fang Yan's body.

Finally, the relationship between Songge and Lao came out to take care of him, so Uncle Yu could bring Fang Yan back to Shaoxing, but Songge Lao did not look at Fang Yan's face, but Zhou Guangrui.

Unfortunately, Zhou Guangrui also died on his way into Beijing.

"First find a place to settle down, and then I personally went to find the group of people who helped Shaoxing Master, and I could always hear some news," Feng Sheng said.

Speaking of Master Shaoxing's help, this is a bit far.

There was a proverb in ancient times that no curtain would become a bureaucracy, but later it gradually evolved into a bureaucratic bureaucracy.

This Shao refers to Shaoxing.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always had a prosperous style of writing. The dynasties have been major provinces in imperial examinations throughout the dynasties, and the number of talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is well known both inside and outside the dynasty.It's a good thing to be famous abroad, but most of the suffering is only clear to the readers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Without him, if there are more students, the competition will be fierce.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty in the former dynasty, officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang occupied more than half of the churches. Every time they opened a vocational school, the majority of the enrollment of scholars in the south always accounted for the majority, even less than one in the north.In order to appease the scholars from the north, and to recruit talents from all over the world, the imperial court specially set up points to pick soldiers from the north and the south.

As a result, the number of northern scholars has increased, on the contrary, it has reduced the number of southern scholars.

Especially in the year of the college entrance examination, the Gongshi selected by various provinces have fixed quotas.Other provinces seem to have few admissions, but they are recruited from hundreds or even thousands of people. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, tens of thousands of people are competing for this limited quota.

After ten years of hard study, I waited to raise my eyebrows and exhaled, but repeatedly fell behind.He will not fail to learn because he is not as good as others, but suffer from being born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In particular, Shaoxing has always been a gathering place for humanities. Fifty-six out of ten talents from Jiangsu and Zhejiang came from Shaoxing, among which Kuaiji, Shanyin, Yuyao, and Xiaoshan were the most.Shaoxing has a narrow population and a dense population, and a severe imbalance in population and land ratio, making Shaoxing locals feel more crisis than people in other parts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

They rarely stop in their careers. If they fail, they will find another way out.

What is the other way out?

Teaching is the lower level, and the upper level should be based on the curtain, seeking the way to enter the body.

In the past, most of the curtain masters were officials, and they could make friends with powerful people.Secondly, you can get familiar with Yamen's chores in advance.

Nowadays, people pay more attention to hometown friendships and have developed themselves. Of course, they have to recommend and recommend relatives, friends and even fellow countrymen.Just like this one, gradually forming a climate, each other has a monopoly on each other, and even gives people an inherent concept-Shaoxing has a master, and the world's curtain makers are out of Shaoxing.

The Fang family, for example, is a very typical family of masters.

Essentially, the Fang family should be regarded as a scholarly family, but the owner of the first generation of the Fang family is more pragmatic and sets such rules.The children in the family must not waste their studies or their ancestors. If they cannot be held in the middle of their thirties, they will switch to ancestry.

There are many others like Fang Family in Shaoxing.

And many officials are willing to invite the master of Shaoxing to be their master.

Without him, the master of Shaoxing had formed a climate from the previous dynasty, and has even penetrated into the large and small government offices throughout the world, either as a master or a scholar.

Someone once said: The thirteen divisions of Hube are all from Shaoxing.

It can be seen!

When I invited a master of Shaoxing, I actually invited the relationship behind him.In the officialdom, if you want to be promoted to make a fortune, you can't just do things by yourself, but also have to communicate.If your Shangfeng or colleagues' masters are from Shaoxing, so are your masters. In this way, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will also play a magical role.

There is no place for these people in Shaoxing to connect with their fellow countrymen.

Fang Fengsheng looked up at the characters "Shaoxing Hall" on the top of his head and stepped in.

She did not bring Zhichun and Qiqiu out today, only Uncle Yu.

...

Just as Fang Fengsheng entered the hall, a convoy passed through the street behind her.

Twenty-odd ride a horse-drawn carriage, it is not ordinary people at a glance.

Zong Yue swept the corner of his eye to the word'Shaoxing Hall', frowned.

De Wang also glanced at him, and he scolded in his heart that he would never pick a way. I don’t know if he has seen Shaoxing recently.

But he didn't dare to take it out and speak face to face, he could only shrink it to be a quail.

The author has something to say: In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Master Shaoxing was very cattle. The masters, officials, and book offices under the various government offices were all Shaoxing nationalities.Their formation climate has a great relationship with the current situation, humanities, geography, etc.

There are a lot of words about Master Shaoxing in this chapter, but there is no way. This is related to many plots later.It doesn't work here, nor does it work below.

In history, there were many famous ministers who were masters. For example, a generation of distinguished minister Zuo Zongtang failed to get a jinshi three times, so he was discouraged in his career and concentrated on studying the art of war in the local area. Later, he became an official and was responsible for forming the Chu army, fighting against the Taiping army and making achievements, and finally became a member of the Fengjiang.Lin Zexu, a non-smoking official during the Daoguang period, was the master of the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Fujian, Zhang Shicheng.(The above is from Baidu, posted for everyone to see, understand)
