Chapter 94

At the Bozhou Houya, Xia Feng put down the letter in his hand and whispered: "This Chang Wei is so unreliable. If you go to the bottom to do some small things, you will cause a lot of trouble. I have been in trouble recently, and even the servants don't know how to understand it."

An old servant next to him whispered: "Honey, I heard from someone that Chang Wei was beaten by the magistrate in Yongcheng County?"

Xia Shu sighed: "He was a slave who tied up a yamen official and was arrested by the magistrate, but he would have to be beaten. If the magistrate hadn't seen my face, he would have beaten Chang Wei to death with a mess."

The old man heard this and said anxiously: "En Xiang, Chang Wei is our own family! There is a saying among the people. How could the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister dare to arrest people casually and dare to torture him? If this is to be spread, wouldn't it be underestimated by En Xiang!"

Xia Shun sighed: "One time and another time, now many officials in the court are against me, so why are they talking about the prime minister? The court has its own laws and regulations, and it is always just a slave. How could he dare to ignore the laws of the court and act as a blessing below--"

"En Xiang, if you forget about this, who else can dare to do things for En Xiang in the future? Beating a dog is especially dependent on the owner. The magistrate knew that it was En Xiang's family, and he dared to torture him and threw him into prison. This is great!"

Seeing the old servant's indignation, Xia Xun said, "I blamed this for this. I forgot to give Chang Wei a pair of paper. Just by saying that, who knew that he was really from my family and I was sent out to do things? The magistrate was cautious in his work and arrested Chang Wei, so he wrote to ask."

Seeing that the old slave still looked relentless, Xia Shu waved his hand and said, "That's all for this matter. I'll send a letter to Yongcheng and let them release Chang Wei and do things well. Zhiyuan, you also take care of your subordinates and don't cause trouble for me everywhere."

Seeing Xia Shu say this, even though the old servant was unwilling to do so, he had to cross his hands and sing a promise.

After someone took the pen and ink, Xia Shu wrote a letter saying that Chang Wei was sent by him and went to the field business to check the autumn grain harvest this year. If the field business was done well, a few more field business would be set up in other counties with a lot of wasteland. The county instructed Du Zhongxiao to cooperate with Chang Wei to figure out how the field business was operated. The meaning revealed was that Xia Shu wanted to praise Chang Wei and preside over the field business of a county.

After writing the letter, Xia Feng handed it to his old servant and asked him to send someone to Yongcheng County.

With the letter in hand, the old servant was still unwilling to accept it: "Grand-eye, if you don't pursue this matter, how can Chang Wei do it? The magistrate heard that he was a young Jinshi. The young man didn't know that the world was so strong that he would not beat him up, but he was afraid that he would ruin the matter of Grand-eye!"

After hearing this, Xia Shu couldn't help but smile and said, "How dare a magistrate ruin my affairs! Because he did not give Chang Wei a certificate, he caused trouble in Yongcheng County. If the magistrate is not punished, there will inevitably be gossip in the court. Then the magistrate was not wrong to imprison Chang Wei. He immediately sent me a letter and knew the severity of the matter. If he sent my letter, he naturally knew how to do it."

The old servant said, "Young people are always young and energetic. What if the magistrate doesn't take Chang Wei seriously when he sees Eng-seong, what if he doesn't take Chang Wei seriously?"

Xia Shu sneered: "If you act like this, this person is afraid that his future will be worthwhile! I don't know how many Jinshi there are, and I will never be able to be a magistrate in my life!"

The old servant then smiled, sang a promise with his hands, and went out with Xia Shu's letter. After leaving Xia Shu's residence, the old servant found paper and pen, wrote a letter himself to comfort Chang Wei, and attached the last sentence Xia Shu. They followed Xia Shu for a long time, and they were in unison. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, for fear that Chang Wei would lose his morale by Du Zhongxiao, and that everyone would be bullied by local governments in the future.

In the Tianfu Office, Du Zhongxiao received Xia Shu's letter and saw a smile on his lips. He guessed that these three people were slaves sent by Xia Shu, but they were used to being domineering and caught by him. Xia Shu wrote in the letter that Chang Wei was actually here to learn the operation of the Tianfu business in the name of inspecting the autumn grain. When winter was idle, Xia Shu had to build several more Tianfu business in other counties according to the operating model of the Tianfu business. And Chang Wei and others were the managers of the newly built Tianfu business that Xia Shu liked.

This Xia Xianggong is different from the public. He used domestic slaves to do business in the northwest, especially to participate in various commercial activities widely. Xia Shu was not greedy for money, but he did a lot of money by using his power to make money. People like him who have a big family have always lacked money. The widely used domestic slaves are not to cultivate their followers, but because domestic slaves are more obedient than officials in the court. The domestic slaves have made contributions to their work, and Xia Shu was also not stingy to use his quota to make domestic slaves an official. These people are all small officials, and have no political influence. They are simply Xia Shu rewarding merits.

A few years ago, Xia Shu had a slave named Lu. Because of his contributions, Xia Shu recommended Enyin as a military officer in the third class and a lower-level military officer. This person had nothing special to do, but was just greedy for money. His daughter-in-law gave birth for three days. He was forced to go on the road because he was afraid of losing his term in office. As a result, his daughter-in-law died of illness. Before her death, the daughter-in-law wrote a poem on the wall, telling her own experience. Over the years, there were more than a hundred people who had joined the group and published it. The collection was named "The Lu Nu Poem". Such a person has a bad reputation among the people and the court, and he doesn't seem to care much. It is said that she is smart and has a talent for a while. She looks down on others at all. Xia Shu naturally doesn't care what others think of him.

Put down the letter in his hand, Qiao Baoping on the side said: "There is another letter here for Chang Wei. Officials, should you take a look--"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "How can you peek at other people's beliefs? A gentleman should not deceive the dark room, but be honest and open."

After saying that, he ordered someone to bring Chang Wei and the other two.

Looking at Chang Wei in the hall, he was beaten with twenty sticks and locked up for a day, his expression was depressed, and he was no longer as arrogant as yesterday.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Today, the Prime Minister of the Prefecture has a letter, and I will send you to inspect the autumn grain. You three rely on your power to beat the people and tie up the officials. The law should be severely punished. Judging from the face of your husband, you will forget about this matter. I will arrange your residence for you, wash up, rest well, and stay by my side tomorrow to observe the autumn grain. As soon as you respond, my husband has already told you to do so, so you should not be neglected."

When Chang Wei heard that Xia Shu's letter had arrived, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He snorted coldly, turned his face and ignored Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao didn't bother with him, so he took out the letter written by the old servant of the Xia Qianyuan and handed it to Qiao Baoping, asking him to hand it to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei received the letter in his hand, but heard Du Zhongxiao say, "This is a letter to you, you have collected it."

Seeing that the seal was intact, Chang Wei snorted coldly before he opened the letter to watch it. After reading the letter, his confidence in his heart became full of confidence. It turned out that my husband did not blame him or her. This time it was a misunderstanding. The Laozhiyuan relieved Chang Wei, but Xia Feng did not blame the three of them. In the future, there was no need to be timid in the face of Du Zhongxiao. The most important thing was to do what Xia Feng had told him, and Xia Feng had decided on everything else.

After handing the letter to Qiu Shilong and the others to circulate, Chang Wei raised his chest and bowed and whispered: "This time, the three of us did not bring our husband to the letter, and suffered some hardships. The magistrate followed the law, so he just let it go. In the future, I hope the magistrate will not be so reckless again!"
