"I want to ask you a few questions, just answer them truthfully." Guo Yushi.
Shopkeeper: "Okay"
Wife on the side: "Okay."
"Please tell me about this notice," Guo Yushi said.
After listening, he began to recall the anecdote, and while recalling, he said: "Not long ago, one day, all the notices of Yu'an Mansion were posted. There are only two contents in this notice. One is what the imperial court is going to establish. Team, those who successfully join will be exempt from taxes for life, and the other is that the sea ban will be lifted. When we knew the news, we were all happy for Shushuang's uncle."
"Later, Shushuang's uncle received a large order from overseas. His uncle started this business without thinking too much. Just a few days after the business was very successful, the notice posted by the government suddenly appeared overnight. Changed. The message saying the sea ban has been lifted is gone."
"On the second night after this notice was posted, people from the government surrounded those of us doing business, and all our property and valuables were confiscated." As he said this, the shopkeeper looked at him. Looking at the goods on one side: "Those bags of tea are the only ones left in this store. Most of them were confiscated by the government."
Seeing that what he said was almost the same as what Chen Shushuang said when asked in the Fuyamen prison, Guo Yushi simply asked again: "Are you going to the Fuyamen to make trouble later? Then, is the gate of the Fuyamen closed?" Even if it's closed, some of the officials' homes are also closed, and you won't be allowed in if they're open, but is that so?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "Exactly."
Seeing that the words were all the same, Guo Yushi felt that there was no need to ask further, and said: "In this case, I want to save your son. Just listen to me."
"You said it," Zhang Guo said.
Guo Yushi came and ordered: "You will organize the people affected by the trouble later to go to the government office and continue to make trouble as before."
"Master, is this okay? If the magistrate beats up the common people later, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?" asked the shopkeeper.
Guo Censor smiled slightly and said proudly and confidently: "I am the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I have the responsibility of supervising all civil and military officials. Furthermore, you prefect officials don't have their own officers. How dare he not Do you listen to me?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper understood: "Seriously?"
"Seriously." Guo Yushi said.
"At that time, I will definitely ask Magistrate Cen to give you an explanation, and I will compensate you for your losses and return to you what you shouldn't have taken." Guo Yushi said.
Hearing these words again, the shopkeeper still had such hope in his heart, so he agreed: "Okay, the common people will listen to the officials."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Just do what I say."
"good."
Watching the official walk out, far away, the shopkeeper looked at his wife beside him: "Do you think this official is that good?"
The wife shook her head: "I don't know. Now that my brother is gone, the Chen family's property has also gone with him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
No matter what, I must settle this account no matter what. Think about it, if it weren't for my brother, how would you be able to live such a good life? "
"The madam said yes, fine, I will do as he said."
"good."
Speaking of which, this husband was originally just a poor man. The family relied on farming to make a living, but it was difficult to provide food and clothing. Later, when he reached the right age, he met a woman. At that time, one was a big business owner and the other was a landlord. It can be said that the poor people who farm are from the wrong family.
After getting along for a long time, the two of them developed feelings for each other.
Later, despite the opposition of her family and the support of her brother, the woman became the wife she is today.
Later, after the elder brother of this family took over the inheritance from his ancestors, he gave them a small amount. The two of them lived on this business. Naturally, they stopped farming the fields, and there was no need to worry about food and clothing. .
He always kept this kindness in his heart from his wife and brother.
Not long after, a group of common people angrily headed towards the government office. All the common people they saw on the street dared to look and dare not say anything.
"Give us justice!"
"Give us justice!"
"No one can die in vain!"
"Give us justice!"
The shouts passed into the government office and reached the office of the prefect Cen Yongchang. The prefect Cen Yongchang, who was sitting on the official hat chair and handling official business, was a little panicked.
Just when he was about to get up and find someone to ask what was going on, Li Tongpan, wearing a green official robe, hurried over.
He is a general judge, so he should be very busy with the work in his hands, but when the Zuodu Censor arrived, he was not in the mood to continue handling the official duties in his hands.
"Prefect, prefect, it's bad, those common people are making trouble again." Tongpan Li Daodao.
Hearing these words and the shouts outside, and thinking about what he had done in the past few days, Magistrate Cen Yongchang was a little puzzled: "Why are they so bold? Are they not afraid of going to jail?"
Listening to Magistrate Cen's muttering to himself, Li Tongpan shook his head: "Governor, look, what should we do about this matter?"
"Where is the censor of Zuodu?" Magistrate Cen asked.
Judge Li Da shook his head: "I don't know."
"In this case, you ask the government officials to take these people to prison without letting the censor of Zuodu see them." Cen Yongchang, the prefect, ordered.
"good."
…
"What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you yelling about?!"
"Take them to jail!"
Cen Guan, the cell leader, shouted.
Listening to this sound and watching these jailers coming this way, these troublemaking common people were already frightened, and no one wanted to enter this prison.
And Chen Shushuang’s parents
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They were also among the crowd. Seeing the jailers getting closer and closer, but not seeing the official figure just now, the couple panicked a little.
The jailer's hand was already on his shoulder.
Seeing that he was about to be taken to prison, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, arrived in time.
"stop!"
With a shout, the jailers stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw the figure of Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, Cen Guan, the cell leader, began to panic.
Zuodu Censor Guo Kang came closer and closer, and walked in front of the cell leader Cen Guan. Seeing Cen Guan, the prison leader, who looked a little nervous, Zuodu Censor Guo Kang asked knowingly: "Who asked you to do this?"
Cen Guan, the cell leader, didn't know how to explain this question. He hesitated and couldn't come up with a word for a long time.
As luck would have it, the prefect Cen Yongchang came out and saw Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was also there. He looked angrily at the cell leader Cen Guan and said angrily: "Who told you to do this? This common people Since they are dissatisfied with us, then we have to listen to public opinion and solve the problem. Oh, if you solve it like this, you will take the person to prison without asking anything."
Seeing Magistrate Cen scolding him like this, cell boss Cen Caring felt really aggrieved.
"What are you doing standing there? Let him go quickly." Magistrate Cen ordered.
Chief Cen said: "Let him go!" After saying this, he walked towards the prison.
Chen Shushuang's parents, who were among the crowd, were very happy to see that the official was so effective.
"Prefect Cen, is this your order?" Guo Yushi asked.
Magistrate Cen smiled: "Guo Yushi, of course this is not the case. How could a lower official be that kind of person? This cell leader alone is in charge."
Before Guo Yushi could say a word, the people nearby heard the conversation between the two and started talking one after another.
"It was obviously you who gave the order, and we did the same thing that day. Wasn't it you who gave the order to take those people to the cells?" One hundred people said bluntly.
After hearing this, the prefect Cen Yongchang looked at him and said angrily: "Shut up!" After saying this, his expression became better again and he looked at Guo Yushi: "Guo Yushi, Don't pay attention to them, don't trust their words."
Thinking about what Magistrate Cen said just now, and thinking about the mission of coming to Yu'an Mansion this time, Guo Kangdao, the imperial censor of Zuodu, said: "Prefect Cen also said just now that since the people are dissatisfied, they must listen to public opinion and go. Solve it. Now, look, how many people are dissatisfied with you, should you listen to this public opinion?"
"Yes, yes." Although he said yes on the surface, Zhifu Cen felt very unhappy in his heart.
"In that case, let's listen to the public opinion." After saying this, he looked at the steward Yin Xing on the side and ordered: "Yin Xing, get my official uniform."
"Okay." Butler Yin Xing responded.
Seeing that Magistrate Cen was afraid of this official, the people felt that hope was coming.
