Chapter 222 Collusion between officials and gentry, lawlessness and seeking the moon
It's noon at sunset.
He Rong lifted the quilt and sat up as usual, stretching his waist.
Looking at the seductive lovely man beside him, He Rong swallowed and spitted.
It was this graceful body that made him roam freely last night.
He Rong didn't know how many times the plum blossoms had bloomed, but he finally exhausted his strength and fell asleep.
It was already noon when I woke up again.
After casually putting on his clothes and covering his outer robe, He Rong walked towards the yard.
The winter sun is not that dazzling, but it is still warm when it shines on it.
He Rong walked to the middle of the yard and started dancing fists. This was a habit he had developed over the years. No matter how late he got up, he would always dance and go to dinner.
The servants had been accustomed to serving the side with respect, preparing to wait for their master to finish his fist and bring the square towel and hot tea forward.
He Rong was in a good mood today. After dancing for half a cup of tea, he was already sweating profusely after one punch.
The servant hurriedly stepped forward to give the scarf, and He Rong pulled it over and touched his face.
The servant brought the hot tea again, He Rong poured it into it and rinsed it out with a sip.
"Why is this tea so bitter? How do you do it!"
He Rong threw the teacup out casually, and there was a crisp sound, and the teacup was smashed to pieces.
The servant was so scared that he fell to his knees and kowtowed and said, "You are forgiven for your sins, and it's all bad for your villain."
He Rong kicked the servant hard and knocked him to the ground.
"What a useless waste, what's the point of supporting you!"
He Rong snorted, shook his sleeves and left.
The servant was still trembling, and he dared to stand up until He Rong walked away.
In Suichang County, the He family is like a local emperor. It is easier to kill a servant than to kill an ant.
More than one maid was beaten to death by sticks because she accidentally angered He Rong. Didn’t the government say nothing?
The ants and people only want to survive in troubled times, but sometimes they can't even realize this most basic requirement. It's really sad to think about it.
Alas, if you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for your poor life. If you were born in a wealthy family, it would be your turn to dominate your head, right?

Suichang County Magistrate Shen Zhuo has been very busy these days. Since the Inspector Sun Qi'an came to Suichang, he has been with him inseparable.
First, it is for show kindness, and second, it also means surveillance.
Only by keeping Censor Sun under his nose at all times can he feel safe.
What made Shen Zhuo feel relieved was that the Censor Sun was obsessed with traveling around and seemed to be not very concerned about the inspection work.
This is of course excellent.
Shen Zhuo's specialty is to accompany Shangguan to eat, drink and have fun. In his opinion, as long as he flatters, he will be considered as a matter of being comfortable with Censor Sun's service.
Suichang County has beautiful scenery, especially for its beautiful mountain scenery. As long as Censor Sun doesn't go to the gold mine, it's easy to tell wherever he goes.
Today, Censor Sun named him to visit Taohua Mountain, and Shen Zhuo naturally agreed without saying a word.
The ceremonial war between the inspector and the censor started fighting, and a group of people were clamoring for the front and back.
The reason why Taohua Mountain is named is because there is a large peach forest in the back mountain. In spring, you can see a piece of peach blossom.
Of course, you can't see peach blossoms at this time, and the entire back mountain is bare and a little bleak.
Shen Zhuo suggested going to visit Yuewang Temple.
Sun Qianan agreed happily.
When the Censor Sun improvised a poem in Yuewang Temple, Shen Zhuo took the opportunity to flatter Sun Qian as if Li Taibai and Du Zimei were reborn.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Just when he was so sad that he wanted to continue flattering, a woman suddenly broke out and knelt down in front of Sun Laian and cried: "The Censor is the master of the civilian women, and the civilian women have any grievances to complain."
He was stunned for a moment.
Why did a woman suddenly break out of the deep mountains?
By the time he realized that Sun Qian had been attracted by the attention.
"The bold and reckless woman has just hit the official position of the Censor. Come on, let me give this reckless woman a gift!"
He waved his hand with a clumsy, anxious and angry, and asked the yamen runners to come forward to get someone.
"Slow down!"
However, Sun Qian waved his hand to stop his dull actions and said slowly: "I want to hear what wrong she has to complain about."
"this..."
He looked so sad: "The official is worried that this rash woman will disturb the adults' pleasure of traveling."
"It's okay, it's the duty of those who rule the people for the people."
Sun Qian blocked the cum back with just one sentence.
The Censor said this to this point, and it would be meaningless to be dull and persistent. Instead, he would seem guilty.
He had to take a few steps back, but he did not forget to glar at the woman fiercely.
Sun Qian'an raised his hand to the woman and said, "Get up and talk back."
The woman shook her head: "If the Censor does not make the decision for the civilian women, the civilian women will not be able to get up!"
Sun Qian stroked his beard and said, "I want to make the decision for you, but then you have to wait for you to tell me the wrongs first."
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "What the civilian woman wants to sue is the county magistrate of Suichang County, and He Rong, the head of the He family! The civilian woman's son died unjustly, and the civilian woman wants to ask for an explanation!"
Even if he is so clumsy and nourishes his energy, he can't help but hear these words.
"A bold and slanderous woman dares to slander the imperial officials. Let's take her and me!"
"presumptuous!"
Sun Qian'an glanced at the yamen runner who was about to move and said coldly: "Benxian is here, I see who dares to move rashly!"
The yamen runners looked at each other in surprise, and were shocked by Sun Qian's official power.
"You keep talking. How did your son be killed."
Seeing that Sun Qian had stopped the yamen runner who wanted to do evil and take over people, the civilian woman thought to finally meet a good official who was willing to make decisions for the people, and tears flowed down her face.
"If you want to go back to the adults, the civilian woman is from Houtoushan, Suichang County. Her husband went to the morning, and the civilian woman raised her son alone. A year ago, the civilian woman's son Zhou Tieniu and several people from the same village went to the mine to mine gold. At first, he asked someone to send wages back every month, but later there was no news about them. The civilian woman was worried, so she went to the mine with a few old sisters in the same village to find a search. Unexpectedly, she was driven out by the He family's thug when she arrived at the mine."
Speaking of the sad part, the woman was sobbing that she couldn't speak anymore.
Sun Qian'an did not urge him to ask, but let the woman calm down.
"The civilian woman later asked from many sources and learned that the civilian woman's son and several boys from the same village had been beaten to death by people from the He family!"
The woman suddenly turned to a dullness.
"The civilian woman and several old sisters couldn't swallow this, so they thought about going to the county government to complain. Everyone raised money and the lawyers were all ready. On the day they went to the yamen, the civilian woman was delayed for a while. When they arrived at the county government, they found that the old sisters who had made their way ahead of the people were all taken into custody and detained. This is really a collusion between officials and gentry, and lawless!"
