Su Xuntian made meritorious service!
The cell boss and all the guards have done a good job!
The two arrests sent by the county government to the prison have done a good job!
Li Mubai and Li Yanju, two ordinary people, also made meritorious service!
Su Xuntian secretly investigated the remnants of the thieves, and when the suspect Li Yanting was interrogated in the prison, he suddenly encountered a riot by the death row prisoners, intending to escape from the prison. world.
The head of the prison in Huxian County and a group of prison guards were calm and calm when the prison escape incident broke out, quickly responded, and fought bravely. With lightning speed, they decisively killed several death row prisoners who tried to escape on the spot, avoiding the further development of the situation. deterioration.
The two detectives sent by the county government to work in the prison coincided with the meeting, and immediately joined the battle without hesitation. At the critical moment, they assisted the prison guards in the Huxian prison to calm the situation, and made great contributions.
When two good citizens, Li Mubai and Li Yanju, went to the prison to assist in the investigation, they happened to be escaped from the prison. They were calm and courageous, and assisted the government in cracking down on the thugs. Capturing the head can be called a model of kind people. People living near the prison in Hu County can testify to this incident. They saw with their own eyes that Li Yanju's face was covered in blood when he left the prison.
As for Li Yanju's uncle Li Mubai, even though he is a middle-aged scholar, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he is not afraid of life and death. People who lived near the prison in Hu County can also testify to this incident: when Li Mubai left the prison, the hem of his clothes was still wet.
The county magistrate of Huxian made arrests for Huxian, and the jailers asked for credit from Tongren and Guiyang, and also reported the deeds of two brave and kind people. Before that, I went to visit Li's house in person and gave him a plaque, and Hong Yuanwai, a great philanthropist from Huxian County, generously donated one hundred taels of silver as a token of encouragement.
The result of this jailbreak case can be described as happy. In this series of joys, there was a person subconsciously ignored by everyone, and this person was Li Yanting.
As a suspected bandit, Li Yanting was taken to the prison by Su Xuntian for secret interrogation. Just as the death row prisoner escaped from prison, he was split on the head by a death row prisoner. His brain burst immediately and he died. Of course Li Yanting's wife and children were dissatisfied, but when the government recommended Li Mubai to enter the county school as a student, the patriarch divided the one hundred taels of silver awarded by the government into fifty taels for their mother and son, and Huazhi County hinted that they would ask Tongren Mansion for instructions to release their mother and son After paying taxes, money and food, they silently accepted this reality.
Five days later, the order from Tongren Mansion came down. It not only rewarded the meritorious personnel nominated by Huazhi County, but also to Ye Dianshi, Ye Dianshi's direct superior, Xu Xiancheng, Xu Xiancheng's direct superior. Huazhi County proposed to encourage and record merit.
Twelve days later, the instructions from Guiyang Prefecture also came down. This time, two more people were added to the list of meritorious personnel: Dai Chonghua, the promotion officer of Tongren Prefecture, and Zhang Yi, the prefect of Tongren Prefecture.
On the thirteenth day, at night, the back house of Huazhi's family was brightly lit.
This is a relatively private banquet, and there is only one invitee—Ye Xiaotian.
Hua Zhixian, Mrs. Ya, and Su Xuntian took turns to toast Ye Xiaotian. Although they didn't say something clearly, their gratitude was already expressed in silence.
Although the banquet was lively, the atmosphere was actually quite weird, because Mrs. Ya and her younger brother Su Xuntian were lukewarm towards the host of the banquet, Hua Qingfeng. It was obviously only because there was an outsider that they had to Maintain an apparent peace.
When Hua Qingfeng faced his wife and brother-in-law, his expression was slightly awkward. Sometimes, in order to show the harmony of the family, he deliberately said something to them. Even if they didn't want to show discord in front of Ye Xiaotian, their reaction was still obvious. A little dull and cold.
But for Ye Xiaotian, this dinner was very rewarding. Su Xuntian was his ironclad in the first place, and now he is even more loyal to him. At the same time, he also gained the friendship of Mrs. Ya and Hua Qingfeng respectively, especially the magistrate of Hua County. After fully seeing Ye Xiaotian's ability, especially after Xu Boyi and Master Wang got closer and seemed to be forming an alliance, he After learning from the painful experience, he finally decided to let go of his previous suspicions, abandon his prejudices, and get along with Ye Xiaotian friendly.
At the dinner that night, Ye Xiaotian and Hua Qingfeng reached a consensus amidst the unrecognizable intertwining of cups and chips. From this day on, their relationship has undergone essential changes: The leader Wang Zhushu and the second leader Xu Xiancheng, who has a little power but not enough ability, concluded an alliance, and the nominal leader Hua Qingfeng finally chose Huxian's fourth master Ye Xiaotian, and the two formed an alliance. distinct.
At the beginning, Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi wore a pair of trousers, while Ye Xiaotian always wanted to be an ally with Master Wang. Today, it turned into such a situation, which they never expected at the beginning.
Ye Xiaotian left the county office drunkenly, and Ruo Xiaosheng led him up the mountain with a lantern in advance, thinking that the purpose of building this mansion on the mountain at the beginning was to shame Huazhi County, but today he formed an alliance with Huazhi County quietly, Can't help but laugh dumbfoundedly.
Looking back at the county government office at the foot of the mountain, and then looking up at his own house, he suddenly saw that even though it was the dead of night, there was a courtyard on the mountain that was still brightly lit. Looking carefully, it was the residence of Sister Sun, and Ye Xiaotian couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He knew that it must be Sister Sun who was waiting for him to go home, and was preparing supper for him: it feels like home, so good! Ye Xiaotian happily climbed the mountain.
In the small kitchen, the pretty and lovely little cook, Sister Sun put her hands on her waist, sniffed the fragrant soup she had stewed, and nodded in satisfaction. Today's soup is stewed with rooster, hippocampus, cistanche, Eucommia, pork kidney, longan, etc., but it has no fishy smell at all. Her soup making skills are really getting better and better, and she can be called a master.
Sister Sun wrinkled her nose cutely, and muttered in a low voice: "Huh! I don't believe it! With such a remedy, unless you are sick, you won't have any idea of guarding a beautiful girl like me!"
Poor Ye Xiaotian doesn't even know that he wakes up every morning because of the pain of Yizhu Qingtian, and even drenched his bed because of a dream last night, all because of this endless tonic.

The political bureau of Hu County has opened a new chapter, but in the distant capital, something happened at this time, a matter that is extremely insignificant to the big bosses in the capital, but it is a matter of life and death for Ye Xiaotian.
The caravan sent by the tycoon to the capital to sweep the goods had arrived in the capital at this time. When entering the city, when the tax officer inspected the goods on the car, he found something inappropriate. To be precise, it was Prohibited things.
Listed in detail, in fact, the guy who escorted the goods didn't quite understand it, even the judicial officials and the litigants in charge of litigation can hardly remember the whole "Law of the Ming Dynasty". Kung fu to delve into that thing.
The guy only remembered that the tax officer pulled out a damask skirt embroidered with a phoenix and peony pattern from that cart of goods, and a skirt with this pattern pattern was not at all suitable for a low-level official family member to wear: The owner of this dress—overreached!
After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he formulated a set of strict feudal etiquette system, including etiquette, appellation, architecture, clothing, etc. People of different ranks and identities were not allowed to wear crowns, caps, robes, jewelry and heads that did not meet the regulations. A building that doesn't live up to its identity.
This rule was very strict in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, even the prime minister did not dare to violate the rule, otherwise he might be involved in the crime of beheading at every turn. In this era, Gangji has been somewhat broken, but there are still few people who dare to openly violate the rules, but there are many local officials who have already violated the rules in disguise.
They don't dare to exceed the rules when they are alive, but they want to be honored once after death. Therefore, when a seventh-rank official is buried after death, his family will often replace him with a sixth-rank or even fifth-rank crown, and for a fifth-rank official, he will be replaced with a fourth-rank or even third-rank crown. I found out that if you live through addiction, you will die, and after death, the problem is not a big problem.
With the occurrence of some tomb robbery incidents, the government also heard about this kind of thing, but it was just to let the dead go over the line and satisfy some vanity, so the government turned a blind eye.
When a businessman buys a gown, he will not specifically ask the buyer's identity and whether he is worthy of wearing this material or style of clothing. It’s okay to ask in the past, because they are all worn by living people, but now it’s not the case. Can you still say: “The skirt with this pattern can only be worn by a fifth-rank woman. Are you a fifth-rank official, or are you going to wear it for the dead?” What?" In that case, not only would there be no business to do, but I'm afraid that half of my life would be beaten.
When Ye Xiaotian was buying gifts for his family, he saw that this dress was gorgeous and elegant, and it would surely please his sister-in-law. He was trying to please her so that she would agree to move the family to Guizhou. He was not clear about such complicated and detailed rules. , So I paid for it and bought it.
In fact, after he bought it, there may not be any accidents. Even if his sister-in-law really wears this skirt, if he happens to meet someone who understands to remind him, he should change it quickly. As long as no one reports, nothing will happen. As Tian Miaowen confessed, "Let him die, and die with ruin and nothing", she paid a lot of money to buy a buddy, secretly stuffed a few contraband items into Ye Xiaotian's gift, and then sent people to follow the caravan all the way, Before they entered the capital, they warned the officers, soldiers and tax officials guarding the gate in advance. Naturally, the tax officer found it after checking, but the other contraband items were really dirty, and this contraband item was indeed Ye Xiaotian's own mistake.
The handling of crimes committed by civil and military officials in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" has been changed several times. When the model worker emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, all civil and military officials were involved. If officials above the rank of rank committed crimes, they must be courted by the emperor. But at this time, the officials below the sixth rank are outside the country, and they are asked by the inspectors and inspectors.
Ye Xiaotian is an official historian, this official position is rather special, although he is not a senior official, he is managed as a senior official, but the place where his case happened is in the capital, and the corresponding sub-inspector and procuratorate are in Guiyang, and there is no reason to send the case back to Guiyang for trial, so The case of this insignificant official was directly submitted to the case of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty, because of the flaws in the system.
