This is really a turn of events, and retribution is not good. To use the favorite curse word of the old ladies in Sijiu City, it is called retribution in this world.
"Retribution in this world" is a curse word unique to the Eastern world. Westerners may not understand it, because the word retribution is completely derived from Buddhist culture. If you do good things, you will get a good reward, and if you do bad things, you will get a good reward. Evil retribution, but retribution comes sooner or later. Some say it will be in the next life, but it may be ten lives. Anyway, according to the theory of cause and effect, human life is infinite.
Among all retributions, retribution in this life is actually the most satisfying. If you do evil in this life, you will be punished in this life. It is indeed very, very satisfying. For example, these officials in the Hubu Yamen are now crazy.
Being a Beijing official is hard work, especially those in Qingshui Yamen who don’t have much gray income, so their life is even more miserable. Originally, the salary for a year is not much, and because the imperial court cannot make ends meet for years of fighting, the salary cannot be paid immediately. Everyone in the family has been complaining for a long time.
I heard that the Ministry of Finance was going to reissue the money, and everyone came excitedly. But the reality is really cruel. I thought I could take home the money, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a lot of money to wipe my butt. It's too small a waste of paper.
They are really poor and crazy, and they explode without giving others a chance to explain. Of course, their mood is understandable. These poor people don't have a hundred and eighty taels of hunger behind them, and they don't have a nagging wife at home. And the kids are waiting for food, so it’s understandable that I feel a little impatient and have a breakdown.
But you can understand their feelings. Their behavior is unforgivable. They attacked the Hubu Yamen, insulted and beat Shangguan, and tore up the salary given by the court. Such behavior must be severely punished.
But Prince Chun and Shangshu Lin of the Ministry of Finance, who had woken up, looked at a group of poor officials in the capital crying and wiping away tears. They couldn't say anything about arresting people.
The fifth-grade manager squatting in the corner, isn't that Xiao Jiang from the Ministry of War? His mother's eye disease has never been cured, and the prescriptions prescribed by the hospital are too expensive. I heard that he rarely eats meat once a month. There is a party in the ministry for him. They were all the first to run away, and they didn’t even have the money to contribute.
Today, he squatted in the corner and scraped the scraps of paper on the ground with both hands, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to piece together a few complete pieces, but he didn't expect that all the debts had numbers on them. How could it be so easy to piece them back together? .
The one sitting on the ground cursing in the street, isn't that none other than Jiu Ye with the yellow flag? Back then he also fired a four-stone bow and rode a bad horse that sounded like a hero. It was a pity that he followed Merlin to fight Tanggu and lost both his thumbs on the battlefield. In the end, he became the famous Lai Jiuye among the rogues in the capital.
But Prince Chun Yixuan knew that Lai Jiuye had a sixteen-year-old sister waiting to get married. His father was a drunkard, and my mother was a shrew who was ignorant and loved to curse. The burden of buying a dowry for his sister was all on her. on him.
"You have no conscience, no justice, why didn't you post notices all over the city before giving out the money? You are... you are punishing without teaching." Unexpectedly, Lai Jiu thought of such a refined sentence, and all of a sudden It aroused the emotional resonance of the officials present.
"That's right, this is to punish without teaching. The imperial court is setting a trap for us. If we don't accept it, we have to go to the Qing Gate to arrest people and talk to the Queen Mother to reason..."
"It's pity that I had one hundred taels of silver, I just let you cheat me and tear it away... It's up to you, you are deliberately setting a trap."
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue became anxious at that time, jumped on the stool and yelled, "Fart, when you came, what did we say, let you go back to the Yamen and wait, and then we will calculate the salary and deport you, and there will definitely be people who come back." A charter for the Lord..."
"But who would have thought that you all can't wait, and you have blocked the door of our household. There are thousands of officials in the capital who need to be paid. Why did you ask us to notify you one by one, urging you to go back and wait, but you can't wait. Now Do you still want to rake it down?"
"You guys are talking nonsense. Even if you can't notify everyone one by one, you should at least issue a notice. There is not even a notice. You are just setting a trap to harm people and punish them without teaching..."
"Fart, you didn't even listen to our Lord Lin. Mr. Qing from the Prime Minister's Yamen personally came to explain and sent you away. I posted notices for you to no avail, and no one believed me when I posted the emperor's list..."
The two sides immediately started a scolding battle. If the soldiers of the nine admirals hadn't stopped them, they would have started fighting again.
Just when the fight was about to break out, a sound of women wailing suddenly came from the street. It turned out that the officials and children who were making trouble came after hearing the news.
These women had already known the whole story from the neighbors who reported the news. When they heard that their man who had killed a thousand people had torn up his good salary, which amounted to dozens of taels of silver.
The women who couldn't live together got together and went straight to the Hubu Yamen to find men to settle accounts. At this time, you can see how powerful the Manchu aunts are. Most of Hanchen's family members were obedient and virtuous. Only those who were very aggressive or were old enough to have no scruples. Only women who come out to make trouble.
As for the daughters-in-law of the Eight Banners, these big-footed aunts are not afraid of coldness. When they saw that the ground was full of torn bonds, and when they saw that what the neighbors said was not wrong at all, they suddenly became furious and rushed into the crowd and shined a light on their men's faces. I scratched my face full of flowers.
"You bastard who can kill a thousand swords, you must have drunk too much yellow soup. You came to the Ministry of Finance to cause trouble and tore up the money. I let you tear it up. I will tear your face to pieces..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Be an official, be an official. When others are officials, they enjoy the hot food and drink. When you are an official, you eat boiled soybeans in salt water all day long. My farts make the beans dregs pop out. I will not live with you. I will go back to my parents' house..."
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Some were rolling around on the floor, some were grabbing the man and scratching his face, and some were crying and clamoring to go back to their parents' home.
The group of officials had completely lost their temper at this moment, and they were all trying to avoid the attacks of their wives. Even the most chauvinistic officials could not stand upright at this moment. Who should let them be justified.
Shangshu Lin of the Household Department was somewhat of a loyal elder. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a bit like a rabbit dying and a fox hurting its own kind. He walked to Prince Chun and whispered.
"Your Majesty, why don't we discuss it with Manager Ding of Lotte Bank and let the bank replenish the bonds? It's just a pile of paper anyway, and it doesn't cost much."
Yixuan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult. Haven't you noticed that the boss in charge, Ding, has been drinking oil tea outside the Hubu Yamen all the time? No matter how serious the trouble is, he has no intention of speaking... He is not of the same mind as us. Ah." This book was first published from, be the first to read the genuine content!
