Officials of all dynasties did not like to build government offices, except for the Song Dynasty. Both the salaries and benefits of the Song Dynasty were relatively high, which also developed the habit of officials paying attention to luxury, and the yamen was usually well built. It is even more unspeakable that the wealthy Shangxian, a town of fish and rice, was located in the hometown of fish and rice.

After Miao An came to Qiantang and became the magistrate, he first asked someone to renovate the Houya to make it look clean and elegant; []

At noon, after finishing some daily affairs, Miao An asked someone to move out of Zhang's couch and place it under the grape trellis in front of the study. In May, cicadas on the high branches were clamoring silently. Miao An lay on the couch, and his bloated body looked like a fat pig. A little girl stood behind and fanned him, while the other was carrying a bowl of iced sour plum soup, feeding Miao An carefully.

At this time, a thin man in his fifties walked into the yard and shook his folding fan twice. There was a goatee under his chin and he looked very smart. He was Miao An's aide Xi Zhongqiu.

There are many professions like aides in ancient times. There are even a few or more senior officials. In addition to giving advice to officials, these people are also responsible for handling some shameful things. Xi Zhongqiu followed Miao An for six years and has always been attracted by Miao An as a confidant. When he saw him walking in, Miao An waved his hand gently and the two little girls retreated far away.

"Zhongqiu has met the county master!" Xi Zhongqiu walked to the couch and bowed!

Miao An moved his body slightly, signaled Xi Zhongqiu to sit down, and asked softly: "Mr. Xi doesn't have to be too polite, has the matter been done?"

"Don't worry, Lord County Zun, 70% of the Zeng family's property has been transferred to your cousin's name. This is the contract that Zeng Yixuan, the eldest son of the Zeng family! Please take a look at it!"

Xi Zhongqiu said as he took out a few deeds from his sleeve. Miao An took a look and said, "Very good. Thanks to Mr. Xi's extensive cooking. Thank you for your hard work. It's a pity to keep the She inkstone in my official study. Just let Mr. Xi use it for use!"

The She inkstone produced in She County is one of the four famous inkstones. The one in Miao'an's study is the best, worth less than a thousand guan. Xi Zhongqiu did not refuse and stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, please don't worry, this matter is clean, there is another witness to be present when both parties trade, and the price is fair. Even if the Zeng family has other ideas in the future, they will not be able to do anything to us!"

The transfer fee for the 70% of the Zeng family's property was more than 30,000 yuan in the contract, but in fact the Zeng family only received a fraction, and the word "three" in the front became a number that stayed on paper.

"The Zeng family's affairs are over. Let's release Zeng Renxing in a few days! But that Li Yi, sir, what should I do?"

Xi Zhongqiu said hesitantly: "Then Li Yi is just a scholar, so he should not be able to interfere with the affairs of the county master. Why should he spend this effort on the county master?"

Miao An stretched out his fat right hand, touched his chin, which had been folded and said, "To be honest, Mr. Xi, the original official of Han vowed to win. This woman is so charming and beautiful, which is really unforgettable to see. She came to the county government to plead for Zeng Renxing the day before yesterday. If she didn't know that this official was interested in her, why should she ask for it? However, after tempted it, Han deliberately refused!"

"Does the county master suspect that she is really in love with Li Yi?"

"Yes, this woman has been expelled from the Zeng family and is alone and helpless. What kind of identity is this official? It is a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes. She is not moved. If it weren't for her own heart, why would she be liked? Therefore, Li Yi must deal with it to cut off her thoughts!"

"Okay, since the county master gave the order, I will do it as I am. However, although Li Yi has no foundation, he passed the state examination at the age of fourteen. In order to prevent external troubles, he must find a suitable reason."

"Then Mr. Xi, go and look for it. I believe Mr. Xi will do it, hahaha! Mr. Xi has never thought about it. There is another benefit to doing this!"

Xi Zhongqiu gently stroked the goatee and said in contemplation: "Is the county master referring to the affairs of the state school?"

Miao An laughed again and said, "That's right, I heard that Yang Yi was in the prefectural school general Zhu Guangting fainted from anger and even spoke wildly about humiliation and Sima Wenzhenggong. On that day, Zhu Guangting intended to let Xuezheng Qian Tan cancel Yang Yi's identity as a son, but was blocked by Lu Xiyu. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who can become officials, so let's handle Li Yi. Then Mr. Xi went to Beijing to walk around at Doctor Zhu's mansion, hehe!"

"It's still because the county master is thorough, so I'm ashamed! I'll plan this matter as soon as possible. Please rest assured. By the way, the Han family's current address has already made people find out clearly. It's in Huqingfang!"

After hearing this, Miao An's heart moved, and the soul-wrenching charm of Han suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling impatient.

The next day, Yang Yi started to wander around the city and found a relatively remote courtyard, which was not far from Huqingfang where Han Bi lived, and it was just right. After negotiating the price with the owner, Yang Yi immediately went back to his own lacquerware shop to get the money.

The Yang Family Lacquerware Shop is located near the canal. The area is relatively prosperous. The shop is not big, but the business is still acceptable. When Yang Yi entered the door, seven or eight customers were purchasing lacquerware.

This shop in his house does not have the procedure of processing lacquerware, but purchases and sells it from all over the country. The main sources of goods come from Yangzhou, Yichun and other places, including gold drawing, lacquer filling, mother-of-pearl, lacquer, carved lacquer, etc.; most of them are daily necessities, such as bowls, boxes, tables, pillows, boxes, rulers, combs, combs, combs, kui, shawls, boxes, screens, etc.

Because Li Gui has not returned to Wei County yet, Aunt Li is now watching the shop, and there are two friends of fifteen or sixteen years old, one named Song Xiaoan and the other named Tang Guizi.

As soon as Yang Yi entered the door, the three of them came up to say hello. He replied a few words, passed the counter and issued a grocery list, such as alkali, alum, turmeric, yellow paper-mounted paper, mountain eggplant, rosy flowers, etc., and there were more than 20 kinds.

After writing, he called the clever Song Xiaoan aside and asked him to purchase according to the order, but each item had to be purchased in different stores. After Yang Yi repeatedly reminded him that although he didn't know why, he still did what he said.

Yang Yi paid some money from the counter, returned to the yard by himself, paid the rent to the owner, and cleaned it up briefly before he was satisfied with the lacquerware shop to get the things that Song Xiaoan bought.

When he returned home, Yang was still doing needlework under the eaves, and his expression was as leisurely as the water lily in a lotus jar. Seeing that he was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, Yang stopped the needlework and asked curiously: "Didn't my son go to Moyunzhai to get a book? What is this?"

Yang Yi was about to take some family offensive, and squatted down, holding Yang's hand and said, "Mom! There is something that I have always wanted to tell you! In fact, I think that it is not a solution to always review homework alone at home. There is no teaching from famous teachers and no famous scholars to communicate with, which is very unfavorable to my studies. Yesterday, I met an old man who was scattered in Hangzhou. This person was originally a senior minister in the court and had a great conversation with him. The child wanted to go to Dongxiao Palace to ask him for benefits for a few days!"

Mrs. Yang caressed his forehead lovingly and said with a smile: "My son is worried about his mother being alone at home, can't he worry?"

Yang Yi nodded: "Zheng said, parents are here, not traveling far away, mom, I am not assured that you are alone at home, and I am afraid of letting down my mother's eager expectations for my child. I feel very conflicted, so I have never dared to mention going out to study!"

At this time, Yang Yi couldn't help but curse himself in his heart, because tears were already flashing in Yang's eyes, and he really couldn't bear to deceive this kind mother.

"My son has grown up. Since the old man respects you and has been a bachelor of the court, my son should go to school with confidence. My mother can take care of himself. Besides, you, Aunt Li and others at home. But my son went to Dongxiao Palace alone. You must know to respect the elders. Don't be as reckless as at home. Then take good care of yourself. Don't be hungry and tired..."

Yang stroked his forehead and reminded him carefully; this reminded Yang Yi that when he was a child, his mother often reminded him of this, and he always felt very annoyed and disgusted!

But now Yang Yi no longer felt this way. Although he was anxious to go out, he still patiently listened to Yang's every advice so as not to find any abnormality.

Xi Zhongqiu walked out of Yanqiaofang with a few followers, with a faint smile on his face. After inquiring, Li Yi, a man who was not only romantic and elegant, could not find any other problems, so Xi Zhongqiu had to find a solution from this aspect.

Although the Zeng family is rich, they have no background. In addition, the handle of false accusations is left, so Xi Zhongqiu and others can control whatever they like. This is no big problem. But Li Yi is a disciple after all, and there are always some classmates and teachers. No one knows what background these people have behind them. If they are guilty of their crimes without any basis, they may offend people inadvertently. Xi Zhongqiu has been in the officialdom for six years with Miao An, and these branches are naturally clear.

Today he finally found a family named Lin in Yanqiaofang, with two sons and two daughters of the Lin family. The eldest daughter Lin Han and Li Yi had some unclear relationship. Xi Zhongping threatened and tempted Lin Yu, the second son of the Lin family, and finally asked him to agree to sue Li Yi for seducing the good woman and keeping the bad guy innocent.

Such a crime is not innovative, but it is enough. As long as you can use this as an excuse to put Li Yi in jail, you will have as many other crimes as you want.

Xi Zhongqiu returned to the county government office leisurely and reported the matter to Miao An. It was still under the grape trellis in front of the study. Miao An leaned against the couch in a wide dress. Xi Zhongqiu bowed and said, "My County Master, the matter is already in sight! Just wait until Lin Yu sued the county government office tomorrow and he can come to pick up people."

"Why have to wait until tomorrow? Isn't it enough to let Lin Yu come directly to hand over the paper today?" Thinking of Han's family, Miao Anzhen felt a little impatient.

"This... I'm negligent. I'm sending someone to ask him to come and hand over the paper!" Xi Zhongqiu didn't expect Miao An to be so anxious that he couldn't wait for a day. It was getting late and the yamen was about to end, so he asked Lin Yu to come again tomorrow.

"Forget it, forget it, tomorrow will be tomorrow!" Miao An also felt that his tone had gone a little too much, and then waved his hand and said, in fact, he was so anxious about Yang Yi's affairs, because he guessed that Han and Yang Yi were in love. After putting Yang Yi in jail, he would also make Han willing to serve him on this grounds.

Tomorrow night, at most tomorrow night! Miao An seemed to have heard Han's gentle moan under him, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm again. He quickly sent Xi Zhongqiu, returned to the room, and attracted his two concubines to vent their anger first!

Yang Yi carried a bookcase and bid farewell to Yang. Yang's sleeves wet with tears, but he still tried his best to make a smile appear on his face. With her repeated instructions, Yang Yi entered the city alone.

On the street, Yang Yi "coincidentally" met several yamen runners of Zhang Long who were patrolling the street. Zhang Long asked in surprise: "Li Juren, is it like he is going to go far?"

Yang Yi smiled and said with a gentle look on his face: "Brother Zhang, I didn't expect to meet here again. You are right. I am planning to go out for a study tour!"

After talking a few words with Zhang Long, after completing this "accidental encounter", Yang Yi turned around and walked towards the pier of Yanqiao River. He was really taking a boat along the canal in front of everyone and leaving Hangzhou along the canal.
Chapter completed!
