Zhou Yun Sheng originally thought that the Zhu family should be almost ruined by the robbers. In the original plot, the rogues deeply hated the Zhu family for being rich and unkind, not only took away all the property of the Zhu family, but also set a fire to destroy most of the house. But when the carriage approached, Zhou Yun Sheng found out that the door of Zhu's house was slightly damaged, but the inside was intact, and even the flowers and plants were the same as before he left.
A sergeant in a military uniform came out and saw a group of people hurriedly greeted him and asked, "But the Zhu Ziyu son of the Zhu family is back?"
"It's right here." Zhu Ziyu walked over to greet him with the help of the Lu family.
"Zhu Gongzi, your compound was requisitioned by our general Dingyuan as a temporary command post. Now that the rogues have retreated, the original is returned." Judging from the military uniform, the sergeant's position should be a thousand households, but his attitude is different. No arrogance at all.
General Dingyuan was one of Qin Ce's right-hand men. Zhou Yun Sheng's high-hanging heart finally fell, and he hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him, and ordered Cui'er to take out a bag of silver from the package and hand it over.
Guarding this mansion is an order given by the Governor himself, so how dare the sergeant neglect it? Naturally, he did not dare to accept the money, so he resolutely refused and hurried away with a line of soldiers.
Zhou Yun Sheng sat in the intact living room and sighed comfortably. He was about to let Cui Er set up the meal, but he heard the doorman's report that the big butler Zhu had returned.
"It's good, you tied me up and sent it to the yamen directly." Zhou Yun Sheng smiled grimly.
Zhu Laosi didn't expect that the owner would suddenly attack him, but he was completely unprepared. Even the account book of the owner's property was kept in his carry-on package and was found by the nursing home.
Zhou Yun Sheng made a big splash and took him around several nearby villages before entering the county office. In the hall, comparing the accounts of Zhu Laosi and Zhu’s family two by two, the onlookers suddenly woke up: Zhu Laosi not only charged a few percent of the rent without authorization, but also stipulated that the tenant farmers should give him gifts every New Year’s Day. Take the field back. All these gifts went into his personal pocket, and there was nothing to do with the Zhu family at all. His son Zhu Fushun took any beautiful girl or brother he liked and took it back regardless, but it was a banner dedicated to the owner's enjoyment, which made Zhu Ziyu hated by these families to the core.
At this point, Zhu Ziyu is really wronged. He is a brother, and he can only be oppressed. How can he oppress people
The county magistrate of Qingmin County was Qin Ce's subordinate and had a very upright personality. He immediately accepted the case and ordered the yamen to go to Zhu Laosi's house to search, and he rescued the kidnapped girl and brother. The villagers who were crowded at the door couldn't help but shout, scolding Zhu Laosi for being unconscionable, and taking grievances for Zhu Ziyu.
All the bad things were done by Zhu Lao Si and his son, but Zhu Ziyu took all the blame.
Due to the attack of rogues, Zhu Laosi also took the property of the Zhu family who was greedy for ink into the mountains and forests and hid them when he took refuge, refusing to return them. The county magistrate ordered people to beat him forty big boards, and when he was about to lose his breath, he made the move.
More than a dozen carts of property and food were pulled to the gate of the county government office, causing the villagers to be amazed again. I've seen greedy people, but I've never seen such greedy people. This is going to hollow out the Zhu family's old bottom, right
Zhu Ziyu opened the account book one by one and counted them one by one, and finally said with a hand, "Your Excellency the county magistrate, it is a natural disaster, and the people are struggling. These property and food are originally the blood and sweat that Zhu Laosi collected from the villagers, and Zhu is ashamed to dare. I will donate it to help the villagers and accompany everyone to tide over the difficulties.”
The villagers had long been jealous of the truckloads of grain. If the yamen clerks were not guarding them with knives on both sides, they would have rushed forward to fight. After hearing Zhou Yunsheng's remarks, they all knelt down and kowtowed to thank them and burst into tears. Man Lai said that Zhu Gongzi was a living Bodhisattva.
The county magistrate was worried that there was not enough food in the warehouse to help the villagers. He was overjoyed when he heard this. He walked down from the hall, bowed deeply to him, and said that he would report the matter to the court and fight for him. Commendation.
Since then, the Zhu family's bad reputation has finally been cleaned up by Zhou Yun Sheng. In the future, Zhang Jiarui and the loyal dog Gong will no longer have any reason to suppress the Zhu family.
Qin Ce was crowded by the villagers and watched Zhu Ziyu get on the carriage and walk away, and then nodded slightly to the county magistrate.
After watching the excitement, the Zhang family picked up a bag of food at the gate of the county government office and went home happily.
Zhang Shulin sighed, "It turns out that Young Master Zhu has been taking the blame for Zhu Laosi. His father and mother are both dead. He was young and ignorant, and was fooled by a group of slaves. It is also pitiful to bear such a bad reputation in vain."
"What's so pitiful for him? He doesn't charge less for rent, and he lives more comfortably than anyone else." Zhang Jiarui sneered.
"When you plant someone else's land, you will naturally have to pay rent. Is it really good people to give the land to you? Is there such a cheap thing in the world?" Qin Ce, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, his face was really not good-looking. .
Zhang Shulin glared at Zhang Jiarui, who was still indignant, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Just at this moment, the village chief came and rubbed his hands together and said, "Shu Lin, the soldiers are going to withdraw, but the bandits have not been wiped out, and I am afraid they will make a comeback in the future. The soldiers will send it to us, and let them come to our Zhangjia Village more often when they have nothing to do, to shock and shock. Your family should have surplus food, right? Take two bags to send to the ancestral hall later. If there are other families who need to be notified, I will leave first. ."
Zhang Shulin sent the village chief away and came back to worry about a few bags of grain. The Zhang family and Xiao Hei have a total of seven people, but they only have this amount of food. They have to eat it from July to the beginning of the next year. They are afraid that they will not have enough thin porridge every day. How could he be willing
Zhang Jiarui was also very reluctant, and suggested, "Just give it a handful, and the meaning will be fulfilled. It was obvious that the bandits could be eliminated in one go, but those soldiers left halfway. It can be seen that they kept the bandits to blackmail the villagers. "
This kind of thing is not uncommon in Chu Yunguo, the so-called collusion between officials and bandits is just like this, but this does not include the troops under Qin Ce. The reason why the troops withdrew halfway, one was to kill the empress dowager's direct son, and the other was to enter the capital to rescue the little emperor, only to wait for the stability of the court and then come back to suppress the bandits. Zhang Jiarui's words are completely unwarranted slander.
Qin Ce glanced at Zhang Jiarui darkly, and his impression of him dropped to the bottom.
Zhang Shulin actually nodded in agreement, and followed by scolding a few words, then scooped out half a bowl of food and prepared to take it to the ancestral hall.
Suddenly I heard someone running to tell me, "There is no need to send food. All the food owners in our villages are out, and we have already sent people to the military camp."
"Good man!"
"Living Buddha!"
"I have to give the owner a longevity card!"
"Me too, if there was no help from the owner, we would have been dead long ago!"
There was a lot of noise outside the hospital, all of which were praise and gratitude to Zhu Ziyu. Zhang Shulin originally thought that the ancient landlords were all people like Zhou Papi, but he didn't expect that he was lucky enough to meet a good man, and he hurriedly poured the food back into the bag and smiled happily.
Zhang Jiarui's face was pale, but he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to satirize. In the end, he snorted with disdain, "Fame and reputation!"
"It's your blessing that he is willing to make a name for himself." Qin Ce looked at Zhang Shulin and instructed, "Prepare to order some earthen ceremonies, and we will bring them up to thank Young Master Zhu."
"Hey, it should be, it should be." Zhang Shulin was busy packing a basket of earthen ceremonies and was about to go out, but Qin Ce grabbed it away, "I'm busy with family matters, you stay, I'll do it."
Zhang Shulin scolded Zhu Ziyu a lot after crossing over, but seeing him was embarrassing, he agreed. Qin Ce got his wish, and immediately took a big step out of the door.
In the hot summer of July, it hasn't rained for several months, and the sweltering temperature is unbearable. The Zhu family's belongings were all scattered by Zhou Yunsheng, and there was no time to buy an ice basin. He had to wear a thin crimson gauze, bare feet, swinging a bamboo fan, and lay half-dead in the pavilion beside the lotus pond. .
When Qin Ce arrived, he was preparing to have lunch. On the low table beside his feet, there was a bowl of cold noodles made of golden butter, sprinkled with shallots and pork ears with red oil. The rich aroma penetrated directly into the nose.
Qin Ce was a foodie, but the first thing he noticed was not the delicious food, but the young man's feet drooping on the edge of the soft couch. The pale blue blood vessels climb and spread under the jade texture, which has a mysterious and magnificent beauty. Qin Ce could feel almost every faint pulsation of the blood vessel, and even smelled the unique aroma it exudes.
He wanted to kneel beside him, hold these jade feet and kiss, licking and sucking one toe after another, admiring his gorgeous expression when he was in love, watching him being bullied by himself with peach blossom eyes Crystal tears gushing out.
One after another, crazy thoughts came, which fascinated him. His eyes became fierce and evil, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time.
The short one was at his feet, but Zhou Yun Sheng thought he was looking at the bowl of cold noodles. He cursed in his heart a 'foodie', and said lazily, "Eat what you want, don't look like you've been hungry for eight lifetimes."
"Really?" Qin Ce raised his head suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes, and even a hint of ecstasy, his palms immediately burst into a lot of sweat, and it was very sticky and uncomfortable.
"Of course, can I still be stingy with a bowl of cold noodles?" Zhou Yun Sheng sneered.
The light in Qin Ce's eyes dimmed quickly. He pursed his lips and wiped his sweaty palms with the hem of his clothes before he picked up the cold noodles to eat. He eats very slowly, but chews very hard, as if this bowl of noodles has a grudge against him.
After spending an afternoon by the youth's side, he got up to leave and walked out of the Zhu family gate, his face immediately turned gloomy. No matter how beautiful he looks, Zhu Ziyu is a man after all, but he has such charming and crazy thoughts about a man!
This made Qin Ce feel very entangled, and what was even more entangled was that he was unwilling to give up at all, and instead began to seriously consider the possibility of using his power to overwhelm others.
Zhu Ziyu was already twenty years old, and he would have already become a biological child in another family, so he could not afford to delay. But what should Zhang Shulin do? Are you really going to be perfidious
Thinking of this, Qin Ce suddenly fell into a dilemma.
