Wannian County.
The county seat adjacent to Gyeonggi Province.
As the saying goes, evil is everywhere, and Guo Jingcheng is attached.
Finally, there was smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, and I passed the Jinshi examination. As a result, I was assigned to be the magistrate of Wannian County. When I returned to my hometown, I took a closer look and found out that the ancestral tomb was on fire!
At the feet of the Emperor, there are countless princes, nobles, and officials, none of whom the Wannian County Magistrate can afford to offend.
Even if you stay in the county town and do nothing, and are not greedy for money, misfortunes will still come from the sky. For example, when you were the county magistrate, you met Yu Zi, a soldier of Weiyuan Hou family, who rode a horse and killed Ge Lao's book boy.
The county magistrate was in a dilemma. As a result, the elder of the court sent a letter and his Majesty sentenced the county magistrate and his family to exile!
Going back further, six county magistrates were changed in ten years, three were demoted, two were exiled, and one was beheaded.
Therefore, being an official in Wannian County is a high-risk profession!
The current magistrate of Tian County is different from his predecessors. He has been able to serve as magistrate for more than a year with the help of someone in the palace. He even dares to judge the officials of the capital.
Thirty miles east of Wannian County is Anhe Village, with more than a hundred households in the village.
This day.
Zhou Yi spent half an hour running all the way back to the village, faster than a horse.
Standing on the hill at the entrance of the village and looking out, two lines of smoke rise. It is the landlord's family in the village who is cooking, while other farmers only eat breakfast and dinner.
"After ten years, our family is finally back!"
Zhou Yi had tears in his eyes. Even though he was not afraid of the threat of family ties, he couldn't help but be excited about seeing his parents soon.
I circulated my true energy and saw my old house according to the location in my memory.
The three adobe houses had been exposed to wind and rain, and the roofs had collapsed. The fenced yard was covered with weeds, and it was obvious that they had been uninhabited for a long time.
"what happened?"
Zhou Yi was shocked. He sent money to his family, which was enough for food and drink even if he didn't farm.
"Did you let Eunuch Liu become corrupt?"
"What should we do? That guy has already died with Eunuch Xu, and we can't seek revenge! What's more, if we don't have a reason to visit our parents, how can we do the rest..."
Zhou Yi was thinking when a man in rich clothes walked over. He looked like he was from a wealthy family in the village.
"Where did it come from?"
The man shouted: "Why are you wandering around the Zhou family's ancestral house?"
Daqing's household registration system is strict. Without roads, people leaving villages and towns are refugees and criminals. The government can arrest them for mining, so there are very few outsiders coming into the village.
Zhou Yi said in a high-pitched voice: "Do you know where this family has gone?"
When the man heard the voice that sounded neither male nor female, his heart moved and he asked respectfully: "Are you the second eldest son of the Zhou family, Eunuch Yi?"
"Um."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. Hearing this, his parents seemed to have something to do. They should have moved somewhere else.
"Greetings to Mr. Yi."
The man Dongdongdong kowtowed three times, with wide open and closed postures. According to the rules of the palace, he had to be dragged out and killed with a cane: "I am your Uncle Liang. Remember, I gave you a noodle cake when I was a child!"
Uncle Liang?
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and realized that something was going on, so he quickly went over to help him.
"Uncle Liang, please get up quickly. We know how to repay our kindness and will definitely arrange a good errand for you to repay the favor of a piece of cake!"
"Eunuch Yi, you are such a big shot, we little old man don't dare to trouble you."
When Uncle Liang heard that Zhou Yi called himself "we", he didn't dare to say "I" anymore. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou has already repaid the favor by dividing the land of Sun Laocai's family in two and giving it to me and your sister-in-law's family!"
When Zhou Yi heard about Sun Laocai, cruelty flashed in his eyes. Another purpose of his return home to visit relatives was revenge.
When Sun Laocai was running rampant in the countryside, his family's dog bit Zhou Yi frequently. He never thought that his father had already taken revenge and robbed the Sun family of land.
"How can our father be so capable?"
"It's not because of your reputation as Eunuch Yi!"
Uncle Liang bent over and pouted, trying to imitate the flattering gestures of the gentry, so he forced himself to learn how to hoe: "Last year, you became a big shot in the palace. The county magistrate came to the village in person to invite Zhou.
My brother moved to the county seat. "
"We prepared a big house over there and bought dozens of slaves. I heard that Brother Zhou was bullied by Sun Laocai, so we arrested his whole family and put him in a cell that day..."
Uncle Liang told the story vividly and with great joy: "We have a good relationship with Brother Zhou. Not only did we share the land, but we also became the village leader, in charge of tax collection in the village."
"As entrusted by Brother Zhou, I come to my old house when I have free time to prevent thieves from destroying the feng shui!"
Zhou Yi asked: "Where in the county will the Zhou family move?"
"To the east of the city, the Zhou family compound."
Uncle Liang said: "If you go to the county town and ask around, you will know that there is a street of shops that collects rent and lives as well as the emperor!"
Zhou Yi's eyes were slightly cold, his true energy circulated, and his body leaped and disappeared.
…
Wannian County.
The east is rich and the west is poor.
The Zhou family compound occupies more than ten acres in a wealthy area and can be called the largest mansion.
Zhou Yi looked at the door and saw that it was at least one foot six, not far from the "Emperor's nine feet" that was used in the grand celebration.
There are two gilded seal characters on the plaque: Zhou Mansion!
"This is asking our family to kill the nine tribes!"
Zhou Yi's face became increasingly gloomy. Although the courtyard was large, the word "mansion" was unusual for ordinary people to use. His rank was at least that of his ancestor's earl, and his official position was at least that of his ancestor's third-rank official.
The crime of exceeding the limit may be serious or minor.
If you don't punish the crime at ordinary times, you can kill the nine tribes at critical times!
Zhou Yi stepped forward, and as soon as he reached the door three feet away, the nurse standing at the door shouted sharply.
"Why don't you have eyesight..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuan flew out backwards, hit the door with a bang, vomited blood and fainted.
The other nursing homes were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions. They were just green-skinned idle men on the street, so how could they really visit a nursing home?
Zhou Yi pushed the door open and saw several men holding knives and sticks, who came after hearing the sound.
The leading man played a trick. Before he could ask any questions, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw that there was a hole in his heart.
"Ho ho ho..."
When the leader dies, the rest will scatter like birds and beasts.
Zhou Yi slowly walked through several thresholds and came to the back house of the compound. He saw a group of people huddled in the main hall from a distance.
In the middle is an old man in brocade clothes, and on the left is a fat white woman sitting. Several women in gorgeous clothes next to them are looking at the people coming outside with trepidation.
