Seeing that Wang Guangyang suddenly stopped leaving, Hu Weiyong turned around and raised his eyebrows at Wang Guangyang: "Master Wang, this is..."
Wang Guangyang took the list from Hu Weiyong and looked at it.
It says "Four concubines of the sinner Chenzhou".
Wang Guangyang said to Hu Weiyong: "The criminal Chenzhou only has three concubines. This list needs to be changed."
Hu Weiyong was stunned for only a moment, and then immediately said: "Yes. Mr. Wang is wise, it is true that they made a mistake."
Wang Guangyang was very satisfied with Hu Weiyong's "knowledge" and nodded slightly: "Master Hu can handle the rest. I have no objection."
Then he took the woman and left directly.
The person from the Ministry of Punishment who accompanied the inspection today happened to be Hu Weiyong's person.
Hu Weiyong said to the man: "The report below was wrong. The criminal Chenzhou only has two concubines. Make a new list and report it."
The man nodded: "I understand."

As the end of the year approaches, the official teeth bureau becomes busier and busier.
Merchants were striving to make another big profit before the Chinese New Year, so they rushed to bring special cargo to Yingtian.
Zhu Bai was attracted by those things. Whenever he had something to do, he would come to Guanya Bureau to see if there was anything interesting or anything he had never seen before.
Today a merchant from the Northeast brought a group of live deer.
Many knowledgeable people lamented: Deer blood is an aphrodisiac, and it is rare to see it alive on weekdays, but even if one family buys so much, they can't finish it.
The key is that it is a living creature and cannot survive for too long.
Some people suggested that merchants sell them in bulk and sell them at a higher price. If you hold them in your hands, you will lose every one of them.
The merchant smiled and said: "It's so laborious. One person sells one or two of them, and he still has to bargain."
Just as he was talking, a man who looked like a butler came and asked the merchant: "I want them all, how much does it cost."
The merchant said: "Twenty taels of silver per head, a total of six hundred taels."
The butler said: "Deal."
Then I paid and went to pick up the goods.
Everyone else smacked their lips: "My dear. Who can be so generous?"
Li Shanchang, the only one with this ability before, retired and returned home.
Except for Lao Zhu, no one seems to have such a big house to keep these deer.
Then someone whispered: "I know him, that's Mr. Wang's housekeeper."
Then everyone looked at each other.
"Master Wang? The new right prime minister?"
"Yes. Mr. Wang responded to the sky this time. He seemed like a different person. He married three young and beautiful concubines in succession and bought two singers. After court every day, he would drink, listen to songs and indulge in sexual activities. Mrs. Wang I couldn’t persuade her, so I was so angry that I went back to my parents’ house.”
"No wonder I have to buy so many tonics."
"It seems that Mr. Wang has made a lot of money in Guangdong. He can make hundreds of taels of silver at a time."
"Haha, it's not even a word greedy."
Zhu Bai had been listening silently, and now he frowned: Why didn't Wang Guangyang calm down when he came back to Lao Zhu? It's such a broken pot, is it too lazy to struggle even if it's broken?
Now that Wang Guangyang has made such a generous move, imagine how much tax and tooth money Chen De has cost the court by dominating Guangzhou Port in the past two years.

The results of rural examinations in various places are released one after another.
Yingtian's provincial examination admission list was posted outside the Yingtian government office.
Naturally, there will be no names like Ding Fu.
Ding Fu and the others didn't dare to make trouble.
In fact, ever since Li Shanchang retired and returned to his hometown, he has become completely honest.
Not only that, the dandies in the city also gave up the idea of taking the imperial examination and entering the court, and from then on they stayed at home happily and became prodigal sons.
These people who are written on the admission list are Juren.
After taking the imperial examination, you can become an official, but the starting point is not as high as those who passed the imperial examination.
This is also the reason why Zhu Bai has been promoting and encouraging those people to enter the official school and take the examination.
After all, in this way, the government can recruit more talents.
Hu Weiyong invited the top twenty candidates in the provincial examination to his home for tea one by one.
Ouyang Lun was the second one to be invited over. He was very frightened and put on his best clothes for fear that he would look too shabby and be disliked by Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong personally went to the door to greet him, led Ouyang Lun inside, and then bowed to him.
Ouyang Lun became more and more frightened and kept saluting: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have really embarrassed the students."
Hu Weiyong said: "You are a person who can pass the first prize, and you will have a bright future."
Ouyang Lun is so smart, how could he not hear Hu Weiyong's words lying on the ground: "Prime Minister, I have no way to repay the kindness of my students."
Hu Weiyong stepped forward and helped him up with both hands: "You and I both come from poor families, and we have never accompanied the emperor to conquer the world. It is too difficult to get ahead, so we must work together."
Ouyang Lun was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with sobs several times: "The master's teachings are very good, and the villain has done the work of a dog and horse for the master."
Hu Weiyong patted Ouyang Lun's hands: "Don't talk about effectiveness or failure, we help each other and support each other."
Who Hu Weiyong met, how long he met, and what he said were all sent to Lao Zhu in a steady stream.
When Lao Zhu listened to Erhu's report, he never avoided Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao. That also meant that the two of them knew how sinister these ministers were.
Hu Weiyong is planning this.
Among the top twenty in the Yingtian Township Examination, if there are no accidents, there is basically no problem in being on the list, it just depends on how many places.
Hu Weiyong is forcing them to show their loyalty now. In the future, whether they are left in Yingtian or sent somewhere, they will become Hu Weiyong's minions.

There are many things that cannot be carried out when it comes to Zhongshu Province. Because after Hu Weiyong gave his opinion, he asked Wang Guangyang to make a decision.
But Wang Guangyang didn't put his mind on this at all. He couldn't figure out the causes and consequences of many things, and he didn't dare to make decisions. In the end, he just put it off.
A cold wind blew up in Yingtian City last night. In the morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the trees, grass and tiles, and the white flowers were shining brightly.
My hands are a bit cold without gloves.
In the morning, Lao Zhu was listening to the Ministry of War's report on the war in the north.
Suddenly someone fell to the ground with a "pop".
When Zhu Bai saw it was Song Lian, he hurriedly asked the eunuch to bring him some warm water and gave him a sip.
Lao Zhudu came down and asked, "Master Song, are you feeling unwell?"
Song Lian's face turned pale and he sighed feebly: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's that I fainted from hunger after not eating for three days."
Lao Zhu was stunned and asked: "Master Song, why didn't you eat for three days..."
Since Zhu Bai's suggestion, he has increased the salaries of officials. Although it is not a big deal, it is certainly enough to support a family.
Zeng Bingzheng sighed softly, knelt in front of Lao Zhu and sighed sadly: "Your Majesty, it has been two months since the autumn salary has been paid out. If it is not paid out, the old minister and his family will starve to death."
Then Chen Nanbin also saluted and said: "The weather is getting colder day by day. Without salary, the old minister has no money to buy charcoal, and it is really freezing at night."
Several of the usually honest and honest ministers started sobbing and crying: "Your Majesty, Kai Enchen and the others really can't stand it any longer."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Good guy, it turns out that the boss is in arrears with wages.
It's really strange. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the "Hongwu Dynasty".
