Chapter 20 (1/2)
She was about thirty years old, the wife of a local official in Yuliang County who had been scolded and thrown downstairs by yunyuexuan. The woman knelt in the hall and cried: her name is Fang Wang, and her husband's name is Fang Sheng. She is a master book in the Yamen of Yuliang county. This small position was bought by their husband and wife after they spent their family's savings. It belongs to the official position appointed by the local government, and it is not considered to be a court official.
Fang Sheng is the county magistrate's confidant. He often helps the county magistrate to do something immoral. At the same time, he is in charge of the list of officials involved in corruption relief.
Fang Sheng once got drunk at home and complained about the county magistrate's ruthless greed. He told Fang Wangshi about the court's disaster relief. He said that when the money for the court's disaster relief arrived in Yuliang County, most of the money was divided up by the higher authorities, leaving less than one tenth. The county magistrate put nearly one tenth of the silver into his own pocket in private, and only took out a small part of it to help his subordinates. Her husband was given only fifty taels of silver because of his small office.
On that day, chiyun Yuexuan held a banquet for local officials, gentry and celebrities, and Fang Wang's husband also went. When the magistrate saw that he could not get rid of himself, he threatened his husband to make trouble. As a result, his husband was scolded cloud jump Xuan to throw down the building in a rage.
The next day, Fang Wang's husband was brought home. Because the restaurant is not high, his husband's injury is not too serious, just broke a leg, knocked out a few teeth, out of some blood. The doctor came to see it and said it would be cured after a while.
A few days later, the county magistrate came to see Fang Wang's husband with several relatives. Seeing that the county magistrate's face was sinister, Fang Wang hid outside the door to eavesdrop on their conversation. She vaguely heard that the county magistrate said that the incident was so serious that everyone could not get rid of their relationship. The officials above were afraid of causing trouble and wanted to put all the crimes on him. Now he was forced to walk out of his way, only to abandon the general.
Fang Wangshi hid outside the door and watched the county magistrate's entourage. She covered her husband alive with a quilt, but she did not dare to make a sound. There are two young children in her family. She is afraid of reprisals. When the county magistrate left, he warned her, ”if someone asks, he will say that your man was seriously injured by general chiyun and died when he went home.” The county magistrate lost five liang of silver to Fang Wang.
Fang Wangshi was devastated: ”although my husband deserved it, he lost his life just for a mere fifty-five liang of silver. The family is now broken, the minor children do not know how to raise in the future? This time I heard that the emperor was in charge, so the women dared to testify. ”
The male witness is a scribe in the county government, and he also has a large number of account books and records between the county government and the state officials, even the court officials.
Yan Feng pinched it on the bridge of his nose with his fingers. He was exhausted. It seems that the underground organization of this case, like the old tree, has been deeply rooted in the court. I'm afraid it's not that easy to clean up. Yanfeng announced that the witness should be supervised by a special person for the time being, and the case should still be handled by the imperial envoy and supervised by the prime minister. He sent his courtiers back to the harem.
Yan Feng is in a low mood and walks towards Qixiang palace. Qi Shangming followed closely with several eunuchs and maids. Yan Feng let everyone wait outside the Qixiang palace. He walked into the Qixiang palace alone.
Qixiang palace has been deserted. The stone path of the courtyard is covered with fallen leaves, which is particularly depressed. The laughter of the past no longer exists. ”Around the beam” quietly lies on the stone table in the pavilion, as usual, and beside, there is no graceful posture of the woman playing the piano.
Yan Feng walked past, and stroked the ”twirling beam” tenderly, as if he was afraid of breaking a crystal dream. If it wasn't for this Qin, Yanfeng seemed to think that Murong Zhining was just an illusion in his mind, which had never appeared in his world.
Yan Feng sits alone on the steps, touching his thin lips with his hands. There is also a scabby little wound, and the fragrance between Murong Zhining's teeth remains. All of these prove that Murong Zhining is not an illusion he imagined, but once existed in his space, but he lost her and never found her again. Yan Feng buries his head in his knee and makes a very low moan. Even the emperor who is sitting in the world can't pass this little love pass.
