Chapter 17: Everything is inferior, only reading is high
County Magistrate Liu's little thoughts began to turn again.
Zhou Wen was beaten, but his son was standing by and watching. Logically speaking, it was not a big deal.
However, the magistrate of Liu County knew very well that there was no such simplicity in it. You must know that the Great Zhou Dynasty advocated etiquette and law, and the first thing that rituals were filial piety. If a person was unfilial, would he still expect him to know his integrity and be loyal and righteous?
As a personal parent, the dignified magistrate of Liu County must establish the image of a filial son. As a filial son, what should he do when he hears someone is unfilial?
This seems ridiculous. The absurdity of it is that if someone wants to be a gentleman, but meets a guy who is eager and erotic, then as a gentleman who refuses to be a traitor, in order to reflect his moral concepts, he naturally has to give such bad people a shout.
But someone is an official, and that eager guy is a civilian, and someone also holds the power of life and death of that guy?
County Magistrate Liu wanted to draw a clear line, to show that he was a filial son, and to show his deep hatred of those unfilial sons, so he soon had an idea.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then a hint of sneering grin that was not easy to detect. Then, he slapped the agglomeration: "What's the use of such a rebellious son? Yuan's evil deeds are only unfilial and unfriendly. If this county does not severely punish such unfilial descendants, what should we do to educate the county people? People come to Zhou Wu, beat Zhou Wu, and wear shackles for ten days to serve as a warning to others!"
At the end of the day, County Magistrate Liu was still unsatisfied and said with a righteous spirit: "What I hate most is such unfaithful and unfilial dog thief, something worse than pigs and dogs, bah!"
There was only a small sun coming up behind County Magistrate Liu's mind. Qin Shaoyou said in his heart that this spiritual sublimation is too exaggerated.
However, the righteous words of County Magistrate Liu immediately received a lot of applause.
Qin Shaoyou quickly raised his thumbs up: "Sir, wise."
County Magistrate Liu stroked his beard and was calm and clear. He deeply hated Qin Shaoyou for his clever tongue and digging a hole for himself. However, in order to show his hatred of evil, he had to aggrieved the young master Zhou. However... the Zhou family has beaten what they should have, and there is no possibility of repairing it. Qin Shaoyou eliminated the roots. As a dignified county magistrate, he simply did the bad guy to the end!
Several officers have already gone out to seek Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu was still confused outside the yamen, so he was directly grabbed by several officers, and then directly mentioned to the hall. Zhou Wen was shocked and angry. Seeing his son being pulled up like a stray dog, he couldn't help but burst into tears, beating his chest and roaring, "Son..."
Zhou Wu shouted: "Dad..."
Bang... A servant kicked his calf behind him, and he couldn't help but pounce on him. Then several servants came forward with water and fire sticks, and then beat him up. Zhou Wu held his head and shouted: "What crime did I commit? What crime did I commit? What good, I know, Qin Shaoyou, you collude with the government and want to ruin my life. Is there any other king's law?"
Qin Shaoyou wanted to laugh in his heart. I was going to reason with you, but you didn’t. It was your Zhou family who colluded with the government. Now he is making a fuss.
When the county magistrate Liu heard the four words of collusion with the government, he became even more murderous and said viciously: "A heavy beating!"
When he heard these four words, Liu Mai Shi, who was well aware of the implication, couldn't help but thump, knowing that this matter was not good. Zhou Wen did not breathe it up, knowing that his son was either dead or disabled, and fainted.
Bang...bang...bang...
The officers increased their strength and each stick was directly hammered on the bone.
Zhou Wu screamed, but couldn't help but yell: "Wait, the surname Qin, I am incompatible with you, you think you are conspiring and intrigue..."
Qin Shaoyou didn't even raise his eyelids, and he replied lightly: "Who told you not to study?"
Qin Shaoyou did not have sympathy or compassion. The father and son shouted and killed him. In order to seize his own things, he did not hesitate to take various measures. When he saw Zhou Wu being beaten up, he was just afraid that if the Zhou family members succeeded in the end, he would be even worse than them.
"Although I am just a cannibal, I have to live well and live better than anyone else. Well... I will live well."
So I need to have money, and in addition to that, I need to have money...
Apart from money?
Qin Shaoyou looked at the black hat of County Magistrate Liu with passion.
Zhou Wu's screams gradually weakened. Even if he had strong steel, he could not bear the "strike" that these officers deliberately made. This ridiculous farce was finally over.
However, this is just the beginning for Qin Shaoyou.
The last time he said goodbye, County Magistrate Liu was really afraid of him, so he forced a smile to him: "Although you are young, you are too angry, cough cough... This county just said casually, whether you listen or not, don't always beat the drums, be a good person."
Qin Shaoyou sang a fat nod: "My lord's teachings, the people remember them in their hearts."
County Magistrate Liu turned his face aside, and after a long time, he said something: "Next time, our county will try to be willing to do it, and we will teach people how to behave!"
Qin Shaoyou coughed twice and said, "Sir, pay attention to the influence."
County Magistrate Liu realized that his every move was in everyone's eyes, so he said hypocritically: "Go."
Qin Shaoyou left the yamen, but this time several servants followed him in an endless manner. A team of servants were also sent to guard there, one by one, as if facing a great enemy.
It seems... it was on the blacklist and the right to complain in the future has been deprived.
Qin Shaoyou felt a little reluctant, but in fact... he was quite happy to complain.
At this time, spectators gathered around and cheered. Qin Shaoyou did not disappoint everyone, and allowed everyone who was interested in gossip to get what they wanted. The excitement was amazing.
"Young Master Qin, come and say a few words."
"Young Master Qin is amazing."
These words were heard in Qin Shaoyou's ears, and Qin Shaoyou turned a blind eye. Bah, what's the matter? Didn't you just want to instigate me to sue?
However, seeing that everyone was hungry and thirsty, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but say a few words. He was silent for a long time and finally said: "Everything is inferior, only high school students can be studied. Who dares to call me a nerd again? Next time, we will see you in our yamen."
The last sentence deliberately concealed the fact that he was deprived of the right to sue, but even so, it was still very lethal.
Then he struts with his head held high and leaves with his hands behind his back.
Deng Jian came out of nowhere, but was walking in front of him, showing his aura and aroused, shouting to a person who could not avoid it: "Ye, the Qin family's young master dares to stop the road. Do you know that he has a friend named Deng Jian?"
Qin Shou caught up with Qin Shaoyou and whispered: "Cousin, I don't think this Deng Jian looks like a good person."
"You only know now?" Qin Shaoyou looked at him strangely. He suddenly realized that the Qin family's genes seemed to be not very good, otherwise why would this cousin know so much later?
……………………
When he returned to the inn that he had been away for a long time, Qin Shaoyou was in a great mood. His words just now were inferior, but he was not groundless. He suddenly realized that the books he had read before were so useful.
So as soon as he got back to the room, he began to rummage through the cabinets. Qin Shou poked his head outside the room and said, "What are you looking for?"
"I want to study and make a name for myself. Didn't you listen to me? Everything is inferior, but I can only study with high school! I have decided that restaurants need to make money, but I also want to study for the imperial examinations and be ambitious."
Qin Shaoyou found a stack of books, his eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Baby, baby, in my eyes, this is gold-inlaid jade, Yan Ruyu..."
Qin Shou looked at him strangely: "Cousin, are you planning to submit the paper?"
“Putting? What is Putting?”
Qin Shou said: "If you want to take the imperial examination, you can't succeed by taking the exam alone. You have to submit your papers to the nobles and hand over your articles. If you get their favor and their recommendation, you will have the chance to go to high school. Besides... you are not a student of the Imperial College and Hongwenguan, and you are not a local tribute recommended by the prefectures and counties. Even if you want to apply for the exam, you are not qualified."
Qin Shaoyou was stunned. He couldn't help but say, "Imperial College, how can Hongwenguan be admitted to school?"
"Almost all are children of officials."
Qin Shaoyou looked at him and suddenly felt quite sad.
“What about the county recommendation?”
“This is even harder.”
"Well……"
Qin Shaoyou understood that the so-called imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang dynasties were not as beautiful as imagined. Before that, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was implemented. Almost all talents and officials recommended them were monopolized in the hands of the clans. The imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang dynasties were certainly a precedent in history, but because the clans still remained, how could they deprive them of their monopoly on talents all at once? Now it seems that no wonder that Qin Shaoyou used to study every day but was teased by others. It turned out that his mother was doing useless work every day. How could the children who run restaurants have the opportunity to become officials?
Everything is inferior, but only reading is high, I’m a big shot!
Qin Shaoyou threw the book in his hand gently, walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, and looked calm.
"Cousin, don't study anymore?"
"If you don't read it, you should have a longer-term vision. Do business." He couldn't help but sigh, a little sad: "Put off all the books and burn them as firewood."
"Isn't it a pity?"
"It's a pity that they are gold-inlaid jade, so I regard gold-inlaid jade as dirt, they are Yan Ruyu, I am Liu Xiahui, the little chef who is still in a mess... Cough cough... the sand has entered my eyes, and my eyes are not red, wet..."
