Scholar's Business

But Concubine Zhen's worries became a reality. Zhao Guang and his friends returned to the yamen and invited the eight saints to come. Ale Jing Ah made a clear idea of ​​the holy will and solicited opinions.

Lin Gongshu and Zheng Dunjin shook their heads at the same time, "The Ministry of Interchange should follow the law. Zhao Shuangshan, Diao Qingyuan, Changhong and others are just greedy. If they want to kill people to pay for their crimes, wouldn't they kill all the officials in the court? If the emperor insists on doing this, he will directly issue an order. The Ministry dare not hear about it."

"So," Zhao Guang asked, "What crime can be filed? The emperor's meaning is very clear. We must deal with these people again. The Ministry of Justice cannot just drag it on like this?"

"There is no other way." Lin Gongshu said: "If there was no death penalty, the emperor must kill these people, I will say the same thing, let the emperor issue a direct order."

When asked the other seven people, the answers were very similar but slightly different. In short, no matter how they were laid, the officials could not invoke a law that could be executed. In the end, Zhao Guang was also annoyed and said goodbye to each other and dispersed.

Su Shun returned home from the sedan chair and was thinking along the way. He also thought that the case was clear and clear. No matter what, Zhao Shuangshan and others were not guilty of death. According to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice cited the Qing Dynasty's laws, dismissed these people, sent them to the people of the world, and gave them a reply, but he didn't understand why the emperor was so resolute. Is there any other reason?

When he arrived at the mansion, he sent someone to ask Long Rulin and wanted to ask him what he had to give advice. Who knew that Long Rulin was not at home? After asking, he found out that during the day, Weng Tonghe and Chongshi visited the mansion. The three of them walked together, but they didn't know where they went.

Sushun thought about it, guessed the place where a few people were going, and ordered to set up a sedan chair: "Go to Houjing Street."

The sedan chair was carried to Houjing Street outside the garden. Sure enough, Weng Tonghe and several others were in a house in the middle of the street. This was the property that the emperor recently gave to Weng Tonghe and Chongshi in Rehe. He only saw the imperial edict three days ago. Long Rulin came to congratulate him, and secondly, he also wanted to ask Weng Tonghe to appreciate a treasure.

The house was the former residence of Xu Bingyi, the third minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, known as the Three Xus in Kunshan. The third Xu of Kunshan was the first in the family, and the three brothers were named Qian Xue, Bingyi and Yuanwen respectively. The uncles of the three of them were Gu Yanwu, a famous scholar in the country.

Xu Yuan, the youngest brothers, had the earliest name in Wencai. When he was 26 years old in Shunzhi, he became the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace. However, his fame was not as good as his elder brother Qianxue.

Xu Qianxue was a Tanhua in the ninth year of Kangxi. He became a relative of Gao Shiqi, who was known as the "Person of Literary Assistant". The two of them were in love and colluded with each other, had great magical powers, and called the wind and rain. At that time, there was a saying that "the treasures from the five directions returned to the East China Sea, and the gold pearls of all countries tribute to the Dan people." Among them, the East China Sea was the county of Xu; and Dan people were the other name of Gao Shiqi.

The three brothers of Xu, the eldest and the third brothers were not very well-received. Only ***, who was one year later than the eldest brother, but was also a Tanhua Xu Bingyi. Even if Xu Sanli, deputy censor of the Zuodu who later impeached Xu Qianxue, thought he: "It is both good at writing and proficiency, and is actually a great man of the contemporary world."

This time, the property that Weng Tonghe rewarded the emperor was Xu Bingyi's former residence.

Weng Tonghe followed his entourage to Rehe. He originally lived in the property allocated by the imperial court. Who would have thought that last month the thief was robbed and robbed some of the gold and stone antiques and famous calligraphy works in his home, including the ten volumes of Chunhua Ge Tie, the Pavilion Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie Tie

Weng Xincun knew that his son had always liked such things, and if he was stolen, he would naturally be worried and sad. He asked someone to bring him a letter and 4,000 taels of silver from the capital. He searched around Rehe again. If he saw what he liked, he might as well buy it. Or Rehe might not have high-quality items, but it was better than nothing.

This money is my father's own money. Weng Tonghe was grateful to me and did not dare to spend it. He planned to return the money in full after returning to Luan. He and Chongshi said as if he was ridiculed: "At last, he is still an elegant thief. He only sees the things he stole, all of which are done by famous masters. I think my accumulation will not be secretly thrown into the pearl."

The words made Chongshi laugh loudly.

Later, the emperor found out about this matter, and he specially called the Rehe governor and scolded him strictly, and ordered him to solve the case within three days. The Rehe governor did not dare to neglect it. After going down, he worked with the Chahar General to handle the matter overnight. On the third day, he finally arrested the "Ya Thief" who was about to take calligraphy and paintings to the pawn shop to sell stolen goods. After interrogation, he learned that Weng Tonghe was a little scholarly and wanted to show it to his friends after getting a treasure. After a long time, he touched his habits and knew that there were treasures in his home. He took advantage of the day that the residences near his residence were all court officials, and he wanted to join the ministry to take matters and steal.

The treasure was lost and regained. Weng Tonghe was very happy and repeatedly thanked the emperor for his kindness. When the emperor was happy, he said to him: "You have many such rare things in your family, which are always easy to covet by thieves. If you can catch it this time, you may not have such luck next time. But be careful at all times."

"Yes, the students understand. Today the students will send someone to send these items back to the capital. After the emperor returns to Luan next year, the students will go to the mansion to savor and play with it."

"It's not good. A gentleman uses things, not things. Metal, stone, calligraphy and painting are things that embrace temperament. If he is slow to hide and steal, he is worried all day long and even dare not play with them at home. Wouldn't he let down such a great spiritual thing? Inappropriate, inappropriate!"

He just said something wrong. Weng Tonghe and Chongshi dared not ask the following words, expecting that there would be commentaries beside him below. Sure enough, the emperor's eyes lit up: "Let's do this, I have given you the former residence of Xu Bingyi on Houjing Street. You can use the money given to you by Lingzun to buy a few servants. There are people in the mansion day and night, and I think it's...what's wrong with you?"

"Emperor, students must never receive the reward!" Weng Tonghe lifted his robe and knelt in front of the table. "The student entered the southern study with white body. This time he was favored by the emperor and summoned him to the emperor and followed the emperor. Everyone in the world thought that the emperor had treated the students with thousands of graces, which had exceeded his score. Today, the student must never receive the rewards for the mansion! Please take back the emperor's life."

He really felt worried about slander and ridicule, and his words were broken and almost inconsistent.

"I have said that a gentleman uses things, but not things. If the house is empty, it is also a waste." Seeing Weng Tong and he kept meeting each other, he did not dare to receive the reward. The emperor was a little reluctant, and he didn't want to be angry about such a thing. He said immediately: "Let's do this, since you don't want to live, it doesn't matter. Chongshi,"

"The slave is here."

"Even if I give this house to you two. You and Weng Tong and you live together, the families of you and the two of you did not come together. They live together and enter the value together every day. After the value is dispersed, they will go home together, so they can be considered taking care of you."

Chongshi was stunned. Where was there a house for two people to live in? Just as he was about to refuse with Weng Tonghe, the emperor said, "You are the first Manchu top scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Even if you give me a place to give me a place, I think you can afford it. There is no need to quit."

Although this will is a bit inappropriate, the two of them knew that there was no room for recovery after hearing the emperor's words. They knelt down and met and received the order to thank them.

The two big men gave a home to the officials who were in charge of the escort as the best in the world, and they were talking about it behind their backs.

Chongshi and Sushun are sworn brothers, and Long Rulin is also a Qing Guest in Sushun's mansion. They are both scholars and they are friends. However, Long Rulin never changed his style of famous scholars and spoke very harshly. He said to Weng Tonghe half-jokingly: "In my opinion, you two often accompany the emperor, and you will be together every day, and you will always be with the emperor. After a long time, you have the love of the broken sleeve Yu Tao. You openly borrowed the mansion rewarded by the emperor, wanting to travel to another love nest in this Rehe River?"

Weng Tonghe didn't like Long Rulin's speech so arrogantly, but he was speechless. At the same time, he felt very regretful: if he had known that it would be like this, it would be better to directly receive the order to thank him. Although he would definitely be taught by his father, it would be better than such embarrassment.

However, in the following days, Weng Tonghe's mood changed because of something. It's funny that this thing was a jade seal, and he was invited to appreciate and evaluate it.

Although it was brought by Chongshi, this jade seal was owned by Sushun. The origin of the jade seal is another case.

There is a grain merchant in Rehe who has a great business name, with a single name of You, with a single name of Shan. He has a son and a daughter, and is a sibling. You Shan has a relative, with a surname named Wei, and is Wei Yu, and Wei Yu also has a pair of children, but he is a sibling.

The Youwei family was originally a relative of the You family who had been kind to the Wei family back then. The latter had mostly repaid the kindness. The children of the two families grew older and Youshan's eldest son was weak since childhood. It was very likely that he would not live forever. It was just that his family had received great kindness from the You family, so how could he regret it? Therefore, although the eldest lady of the Wei family cried every day, the parents could only blame him for justice and persuade him to ask him to break the engagement, but he could not express his feelings.

In the middle of this year, the You family once again sent someone to propose marriage to marry Miss Wei. Wei Yu knew that his future son-in-law was sick and bedridden, so he wanted to ask for an extension, but the man said that the new wife would marry him would have the effect of "joyfulness". Moreover, his family had heard of the bride's dislike of the bride's body and being weak and sick, so he deliberately concealed his condition and said that it was a big deal that he would recover from the good time.
