Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 324 She County Fugitive (Part [-])
Ansu County is not an upper county, it is really only a small place, although it can be seen that Liang Xianzun must have tried his best to organize this banquet, but in Gao Yushi's eyes, it was just that.

Of course, he came to Ansu just to pay a visit and show a little respect, and he didn't just come to have a meal, so he didn't care too much.

However, since Gao Yushi, the host and guest, was too young to drink alcohol, the meal became even more tasteless and soon came to an end.

Liang Xianzun recruited all the leading figures in He County. In fact, he wanted a scene to let them see the strength of his background. Gao Yushi knew it well, but he didn't bother to point it out.

When the banquet was over, all the officials and squires had already left, only Liang Wu and Gao Yushi were left, and Gao Yushi used the excuse that he had to go on his way, and also planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xianzun hurriedly asked to stay, saying: "Brother Yu came to Ansu, how can I just eat a light meal and leave? If this is going to be spread, where will I put this old face of Brother Yu? No matter what, I have to hang around for a while Day, so that Brother Yu can fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Oh?You also know that you are an old face, so why are you still talking about a good brother, calling me old!

This Liang Xianzun was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing. He was nearly 40 years old at that time, and he was almost [-] years old at this time. He was more than enough to be a high-level and pragmatic father. However, being called by such a big brother one after another, Gao Yushi is really a little awkward.

As for hanging around for a while, that's even more of a joke.My son is going back to his hometown to prepare for the exam, and he will stop by in Anyang on the way to see if he can handle the important matter that Sanbo told him. How can there be time for you to delay?

So Gao Wushi decisively stated that not only did he have to rush back to Xinzheng to prepare for the exam, but he also came to Beijing this time for nearly a year.Xinzheng has been notified in advance of returning home this time, and my mother must have hoped to see her in Xinzheng now. As a son of man, I can't wait to go home immediately to fulfill my filial piety, so I have no choice but to decline my brother's kindness.

The ancients valued filial piety first, so there was a saying that "filial piety is the first of all goodness", and the high-level practicality showed the mother, and Liang Xianzun was at a loss for words.

However, Liang Xianzun didn't really insist on keeping Gao Yu as a guest in his small place in Ansu. After all, his main purpose was to use Gao Shidu and the name of the great god behind him to strengthen himself. He must go, and he can't force him to stay.

But Xianzun Liang has one more thing, and he must trouble Gao Shidu.He glanced left and right, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "My dear brother, to tell you the truth, Brother Yu still has a difficult matter, and I must ask you for advice."

Gao Yushi was a little surprised, and said: "Brother, you are too polite, but my younger brother has little virtue and talent, how can I be worthy of asking for advice? Senior brother has a question, but younger brother tries his best to answer."

Liang Wu hurriedly thanked him first, then pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Forgive me for taking the liberty, Brother Yu, I don't know if you have heard about the case of Ding Sijuan in Huizhou Mansion?"

"The case of Ding Sijuan from Huizhou?" Gao Wushi was taken aback. You can refer to Chapter 084 "Returning to the Government Pragmatically" and Chapter 085 "Various Forms of Officialdom" in the first volume of "Xiaoge Lao"], but it has been a while, and he almost forgot about it.

Moreover, what does the case of Huizhou native Ding Sijuan have to do with your Liang Xianzun?That's Nan Zhili, your Ansu County is in Bei Zhili, the distance between the two is thousands of miles!

However, since the other party asked about it, Gao Yushi didn't want to be too perfunctory, so he nodded slightly and replied: "Sanbo talked about this with me."

Liang Wu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Master actually talked about this matter specifically? I don't know... what consideration does Master have for this matter?"

Gao Wushi frowned slightly, and asked unhurriedly, "This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, brother?"

"Uh, this..." Liang Wu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to confess, so he said with a little embarrassment: "To tell the truth, brother Yu, some people under Brother Yu's hands are really a little confused... A few days ago, they were in the county. I found a foreigner behaving strangely, so I brought him back to the county government office for questioning, but who would have thought that person was a key figure in the case of Ding Sijuan from Huizhou... This person is called Shuai Jiamo, I don’t know if my brother has any impression?”

Handsome Jiamo?
I have an impression, and I am very impressed. Isn't this the guy who "meddled his own business" with both mathematics and law talents, and the guy who stirred up the case with one hand?
Gao Wushi frowned, and said, "Remember some... But Shuai Jiamo is not in Huizhou, why did he come to Ansu? Besides, senior brother, why did your people arrest him?"

Liang Wu smiled wryly and said: "Although the people below have made their own claims, from the perspective of the Ming Law, they did not act recklessly. It is because the Shuai Jiamo is now a fugitive from Huizhou. Although Ansu is not under the rule of Huizhou, he is also It’s not good to knowingly let it go, since you have met him, you can only take him first.”

Gao Wushi was surprised: "How did he become a fugitive? This person should be the plaintiff in this case."

Liang Wu sighed, and said: "It should have been like this, but then... By the way, brother, how much do you really know about this matter?"

"I..." Gao Wushi recalled a little bit, and said in a deep thought: "All I know is that Shuai Jiamo discovered that there was a difference in the 200-year human silk tax in Shexian County, so he leapfrogged to report to Ying Tianfu. Governor Hai Gangfeng issued a document asking the Huizhou government to conduct a detailed investigation. However, because Hai Gangfeng was transferred to another post, the other five counties lost their shock, and they all expressed that they would prepare for the next year's pilgrimage. Duan Chaozong, the prefect, probably also felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so he didn't respond to this matter any more."

When he said that, he naturally didn't want to disclose his suggestion to Gao Gong to Liang Wu - because after he made the suggestion, he didn't ask about it again, and he didn't know how Gao Gong dealt with it.

In fact, Gao Gong accepted Gao Pragmatic's suggestion, and had already written to Nanzhili, expressing his own attitude in a subtle way.However, the efficiency of communication in this era is too low. Whether there are any new changes in this matter during this period of time is not clear to Gao Pragmatism.

Seeing that Gao Wushi did know the first half of the matter, Liang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still full of wry smiles: "It seems that my brother really didn't know something, and this matter has a new change later."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi became a little more interested and asked, "What happened?"

Liang Wudao: "It's a long story. From the day when Tianxun issued the order, the local government dragged on for two full months, but there was no response. It was not until April [-]th that Jixi The county responded slowly with a letter of application—as for the other four counties, they didn’t even bother to respond. This letter of application from Jixi County was submitted in the name of Yang Cunli, the county’s edict. The joint signature of the elders in the county."

Gao Wushi frowned slightly, and asked in thought: "The teaching order? Why did the teaching staff respond to this kind of thing? What about their county magistrate?"
