Chapter 57
In the Dali Dynasty, scholars had a high status because as long as they had fame and fortune, they were completely different from ordinary people.
If you have fame and fortune, not only will the court provide subsidies every year, but it will also have many privileges.
Even if it is just a child, it still has it.
Just like Xu Xian now, if he commits a crime, the Qiantang County Magistrate can arrest him first and detain him in prison, but if he is convicted, the county magistrate has no right and must report to the prefect. Then, after the governor has criticized him, he can only be convicted!
Of course, if you are just an ordinary little boy, you are actually not qualified to fight with the county magistrate. If the boy is taken into jail by the county magistrate, it is not much different from being sentenced to death.
After entering the prison, the county magistrate has the final say in the right and wrong. There is no reason to be a crime to add it. If there is evidence, it will be even easier. In most cases, the prefect or governor is just a formality. It is impossible to carefully investigate and find out for a child’s life.
Xu Xian was taken away by the yamen runners, and the big stone in Yang's heart was completely put into the ground and he returned home.
After a long journey, this matter was finally within a controllable range. As long as Xu Xian entered the cell, he could only accept his fate and let him take care of it. No one knew what his son did.
Yang Zi'an thought so in his heart, but he was not as calm as Yang Magistrate. Seeing Xu Xian's embarrassing look, he couldn't help but feel excited and walked to Xu Xian to stimulate and attack.
"I know you still have hope now. I think that as long as this matter is preached to the magistrate, you will still have the possibility of overturning the case, right?" Yang Zi'an whispered with a slightly ferocious smile on his face, "But I can tell you clearly that even if this case is passed to the magistrate, you will definitely die!"
Xu Xian asked calmly, "Why?"
Yang Zian laughed wildly and whispered: "Why? I heard that you made a lot of noise when you were in Hangzhou Prefecture. The prefect has come forward in person. Then you should know what our prefect's surname is, right?"
"Submitted to Yang." Xu Xian frowned and said, "Your surname is Yang, what does the magistrate have to do with you?"
"It seems that you are not hopeless!" Yang Zi'an said unscrupulously: "Prince Yang and I are of the same clan. My father wants to call him brother, and I call him uncle! So, do you think Priest Yang will help you an outsider this time?"
"I want you to die in a bad way when I go against me! And your classmates will come to the jail to accompany you soon!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Xian, as if he was looking at a dead person.
He just wants to make Xu Xian feel desperate, to make Xu Xian feel regretful, and to make Xu Xian beg him for mercy!
The hatred between him and Xu Xian is not only that Xu Xian threatened him, but also a big reason is that Xu Xian knew about the matter between him and Bai Qiulian. When he saw Xu Xian, he felt guilty inexplicably, just as Bai Qiulian was watching him in the dark.
But the more this happens, the more he will torture Xu Xian!
He would warn himself in his heart not to regret, not be afraid, and not feel guilty!
Unfortunately, Xu Xian's expression did not change after hearing this, and he said lightly: "Then let's wait and see."
"You boy..."
Yang Zi'an wanted to say a few words angrily, but County Magistrate Yang turned around and glared at him, and said sternly: "Zi'an, come here!"
County Magistrate Yang actually felt a little angry. What Yang Zi'an did this time disappointed and angry. After the matter was understood, he would not let Yang Zi'an go easily. He must teach a good lesson.
Otherwise, he would have helped him with this incident, but if he gets into someone who is not so easy to suppress in the future, his son will be unlucky.
"Wait for me, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy soon!"
Yang Zi'an left a sentence, walked away quickly, and discussed with his father how to make Xu Xian die completely without a place to bury him, and there is no possibility of turning over again.
Although Yang Zian was very arrogant in front of Xu Xian, he said that even if he arrived at the prefect, there would be no change in the result, and Xu Xian would undoubtedly die. But only they knew in their hearts that although Yang was their own family, they were not particularly familiar with each other.
Yang Jianxing is the direct descendant of the Yang family in Jiangnan. He is now the prefect and has a bright future. However, they are only a branch of the Yang family in Jiangnan and do not have much voice.
County Magistrate Yang did not doubt that Yang Jianxing would help his family, but he should also try to do things perfectly and not cause trouble to Yang Jianxing. This is the best way.
When he returned to the yamen, County Magistrate Yang did not call him a master, and he locked himself in the study room and wrote documents alone. He linked the incident of "demonic path" in the Red Building with this incident of water ghost harming people, convicted Xu Xian as a "demonic man". Later, he sent someone to send him to Hangzhou Prefecture, waiting for instructions.
Yang Zian was full of confidence and was complacent. He couldn't wait to order someone to go to the He Mansion, arrest He Liang, and send Ruiyun back to Yihonglou.
Li Gongfu was anxious and tried every means to save Xu Xian but had no way, and didn't know how to explain to Xu Jiaorong. If Xu Jiaorong knew that her beloved younger brother had been imprisoned, his future would be uncertain, and he really didn't know what would happen.
...
...
Many water ghosts in Qiantang County that panic have been removed, but not many people know how thrilling things happened, and no one knows them.
Except for the Caishi Bridge, the county town is still bustling and noisy.
The calligraphy and painting shop located in the downtown street is filled with people coming and going, and there are endless customers coming to visit the door, and the business is booming.
A handsome young man wearing clothes with inconspicuous styles but extremely exquisite and luxurious materials, workmanship, walked to the door of the calligraphy and painting shop and looked up. Suddenly, he became interested and said to a feminine man behind him: "Xiao Guan, let's go in and take a look."
The feminine man bent down slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, young master!"
When the two entered the store, the owner was very keen and immediately welcomed him enthusiastically.
Although these two people don’t seem to be conspicuous at first glance, they can be called “Brother's Night Walk”, and many of the small accessories on them are enough to prove that they are not ordinary people.
The store owner introduced several calligraphy and paintings that he thought were of the best quality, but Junxiu Young Master just shook his head and did not show any idea of buying them. He just occasionally commented and said, "Yes", "barely", "not bad".
The feminine man is relatively cold and doesn't seem to talk much. He rarely speaks a word, but he is extremely arrogant: "Young Master, you are a genius in calligraphy for all ages. Now there are only a handful of people who can compete with the Young Master in the Dali Dynasty. How can such a small shop catch you?"
The handsome man did not object to this, but he did not think he was praising him. He looked calm and calm.
It seems that he does fit what the feminine man said.
Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly placed in a remote corner. He stopped, his eyes lit up, and then he quickly walked over and asked anxiously: "Boss, who did this character and how to sell it?"
Seeing this, the boss looked embarrassed and said, "This calligraphy was made by a new boy from Qiantang County. His calligraphy is indeed good, and many people want to buy it. However, the price is too high. Many customers shook their heads and walked away after hearing the price..."
The handsome young master carefully observed the words, and then read the poem mentioned above: After all, in the middle of June of West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons; the lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun!
"Good poems, good poems! What a Xu Hanwen, I didn't expect to write such a wonderful poem describing the beautiful scenery of West Lake. He is such a genius!" said the handsome young man laughing loudly.
Without the introduction from the store owner, he knew who made it after seeing the signature of the letter.
"Boss, you haven't said how much does this letter cost yet?" Junxiu said with a smile.
"One...one hundred taels of silver." The boss answered helplessly.
"One hundred taels of silver?"
Junxiu Young Master was stunned, then shook his head and said, "It's too little! Even if this word is a little lacking, if this calligraphy can be improved, it would be no exaggeration to rely on this poem to make a hundred taels of silver for a word!"
The shop owner was completely stunned.
One word is a hundred taels of silver? I was thinking of making a joke, are you here to make fun of me?
The boss thought he couldn't sell it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Junxiu Young Master immediately said, "Two hundred taels of silver, I bought this character!"
"What?" the shop owner shouted, staring at him in disbelief.
No one is willing to buy one hundred taels of silver in front of the enemy, but this person is willing to buy two hundred taels of silver? Who has taken the initiative to increase the price for buying things?
Junxiu Young Master repeated again: "I bought two hundred taels of silver! But I want Xu Hanwen to come to see me in person!"
"Ah?" The shop owner couldn't turn his head for a moment, and he was a little confused...
