Xie Rongzhao was not sure who was deliberately causing harm, fearing that they would not find a chance to act in Zhuangzi, which would be detrimental to the villagers.
"Tell him, at least let them be prepared. They all saw it when they were arresting people. The smell of copper oil should not have dissipated yet. Everyone cherishes their lives, so they should care."
"Yes, miss."
Xie Rongzhao locked himself in the room, thinking about whether he had offended anyone, especially when attending a banquet, whether he said the wrong thing and unintentionally offended someone.
But after thinking for a long time, I still had no clue.
Zhao Yue couldn't find anything, so the matter could only be left alone.
Only those three people were severely sentenced. Even if they revealed the mastermind behind the scenes, they had no characteristics. How to find them?
He didn't even see his face clearly, he only knew how to get money. Now something happened, and everyone was dumbfounded.
If they can't find the person they mentioned, it means they did it themselves, deliberately setting fires and killing people. If it happened, it would definitely be a capital crime!
The people in the village were also paying attention to this matter, and they heard that they were severely sentenced, and one of them was beaten fifty times and then sentenced to twenty years of hard labor. This was even worse than death.
Twenty years of hard labor means having to work with shackled hands and feet, and these are jobs that ordinary people are unwilling to do, such as quarries, mines, etc.
After working for nothing for twenty years, there is no pay, and you have to be beaten and scolded. You may even die in the field of service halfway.
Because of this incident, the village chief thought of what the Xie family had told him before, and he did not dare to be careless at the moment. He arranged for the strong laborers in the village to patrol in turns.
Besides, several young men from the Xie family were brought back this time, firstly because Wang Qinshan was going to the Imperial College to give lectures, and secondly because they were invited by Baihe Academy in the capital to give lectures for three days.
Of course, it was not just three consecutive days of lectures. After all, Wang Qinshan himself also held an important position.
In addition to Wang Qinshan, Master Liu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, will also give lectures.
That's why Xie Xiuwen was eager to bring them all back.
Xie Ronglang and others have read similar books. Xie Xiuwen is determined to let Xie Ronglang try next year. If he can win the scholarship, it will naturally be a good story. Even if he fails, he will have an experience.
Xie Xiuwen has been inquiring about better academies in the past few years. He cannot always let a few children study in the mountains. He still needs to debate and learn more with his classmates.
Xie Xiuwen went through the admission procedures for several young men. Within three days of returning to Beijing, they all became students of Baihe Academy.
Of course, going to an academy to study does not mean becoming a teacher there.
In fact, Xie Xiuwen had already planned that Xie Ronghui could become a disciple at Baihe Academy, but Xie Ronlang, he wanted him to become a disciple of Xie Lin in the future.
It's a pity that Xie Lin is not in Beijing now, and it is estimated that he will have to wait another three to five years before returning to Beijing.
Baihe Academy has a good reputation. Xie Xiuwen chose this academy mainly because he had some relationship with his mentor.
When Xu Yuanqing was in Mingshan Academy, he was unwilling to enter the court again even if the Holy Emperor asked him several times.
The current headmaster of Baihe Academy is Xu Yuanqing's disciple. According to etiquette, Xie Xiuwen should call him senior brother.
Shanchang Fu is now in his forties. He was born as a second-class Jinshi. After serving in the Hanlin Academy for several years, he resigned and became the Shanchang of Baihe Academy, determined to cultivate many knowledgeable people for great governance.
Although Master Fu resigned, the Holy Father still issued a decree. Master Fu's position was not completely taken back, but the remaining half was returned to him. This was already a great gift.
Xie Xiuwen brought a few children to pay a special visit. Master Fu knew that this junior brother was really capable, and he was also the kind of person who was born to wander in the officialdom.
This was not the first time that the two senior brothers had met, but this time it was the longest time they had talked.
Xie Ronghui also enrolled in Baihe Academy, where classes are also divided according to learning level, progress, status, etc.
Xie Ronghui was a scholar and entered the Hejia class, while the other young men who had not yet had any honors entered the general Class A.
If Xie Ronghui can pass the examination next year, he will be able to enter the white class.
Xie Xiuwen left several children in the academy, and they could go home every ten days. It was much closer to home. Even after school in the afternoon, they could go home directly.
However, Xie Xiuwen felt that they had to get used to these collective lives, which would also help them in their future.
In the evening, Xie Xiuwen put away a bunch of official documents and leaned back a little tiredly.
These days, things happen frequently, whether in court or at home.
Xie Xiuwen hadn't forgotten Liu Ruolan's poisoning last time, and this time his daughter almost had an accident again.
If the mastermind behind this is not discovered, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Wife and daughter, this is his last line!
Who is it that acts so despicably and repeatedly attacks women in the house? His methods are really dirty!
But so far, even a capable person like Zhao Yue has not found out the real culprit. As a civil servant with no background, it is even more difficult.
Xie Xiuwen was very sure that when his wife was poisoned, the other party came for him.
But this time his daughter almost had an accident, but he was not sure whether the other party was targeting him or Guobao.
Guobao is usually well-behaved and rarely goes out. Even when she goes out, she only goes to a few fixed places. He has never heard of anyone she had a dispute with, so he still feels that there is a higher possibility that the other party is coming against him.
"Master, there is news from the Xie Mansion on Anhe Street."
"Bring it to me and see."
Xie Xiuwen is not a good person. If others can put nails in his house, he will naturally have ways to buy information from others.
Zuo is just promising huge profits.
Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows slightly after reading the note.
"Douzi, call Qi Zhong in."
"Yes, sir."
Qi Zhong's family all lived in the servants' room of Xie's Mansion. Xie Xiuwen and Liu Ruolan considered that his family was doing well, so they gave them a small courtyard. There were nine rooms including the main house, a wing room, and a utility room. It can be said that he is quite a respectable person in the mansion.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Tomorrow I will go to Zhenyi Shop. I heard that the ready-made clothes there are very good and very popular with ladies. Go and have a look and ask about the price. There is no need to ask anyone else, and don't show your own. identity."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, remember to go to Xujia Village outside the city, send some rice and coarse cloth to Xu Dazhu's family, and leave them two dollars."
"Yes, I will take care of all the small ones."
Xie Xiuwen waved his hand, and Qi Zhong left, and changed the beans and came back to wait.
"Do you know what Xie Chengye is doing recently?"
Douzi was stunned for a moment and replied: "Master, I heard that there is not much going on in Zhuangzi recently. At the moment, I am mainly working on the greenhouse with the craftsmen."
coming.
