Chapter 264 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (25)
Chapter 264 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (25)
"Who dares to be presumptuous?"
"I."
Xia Mochi turned the thin blade in his hand and stepped into the door.
The yamen runners who opened the doors on both sides had stern expressions and looked at people with murderous intent.
"Xia Mo, how dare you trespass into a private house! I'm going to sue you at the government office..."
Too lazy to argue with him, Xia Mochi handed the petition in his hand directly to him.
"The Liu family seized farmland, embezzled tax revenue, and participated in the former Ningguang County Magistrate's false tax reporting. Their subordinates also beat and killed innocent people..."
"He was punished for multiple crimes, all his property was confiscated, Liu Yu was beheaded in public, and all male members of the Liu family, except those in the fifth mourning period and under the age of eight, were exiled a thousand miles away. All female members were imprisoned in the Jiaofang Bureau..."
Liu? stared blankly at the petition with the official seal of the government in Xia Mochi's hand, and his legs suddenly went limp. Finally, he went to jail as he wished and accompanied his son.
None of the people from next door who had been imprisoned a long time ago, including Chen Qu and the Wang family, as well as the entire Chamber of Commerce of Guangmao Building at that time, were clean.
Sui Hao knew all of this clearly from his dealings with them during this period of time.
With the handle in hand, the biggest obstacles were removed one by one, and the rest of the things were implemented as if it were a natural process.
Those who should be punished will be punished according to the law, beheading, exile, confiscation of property...
Deserve the reward......
A few months later, on the carriage returning to Beijing.
Sui Yu was wearing a purple official uniform embroidered with crane patterns, and a fish bag decorated with gold and silver hung around her waist, looking dignified.
However, this handsome Prime Minister was frowning because of the three men in the carriage.
Closing her eyes, Sui Yu leaned back and pulled out the fish bag from Yan Cheng's hand, which he had been curiously twisting between his fingers and examining carefully. "Sit down. This doesn't look good."
Yan Cheng's dark, translucent pupils looked eagerly at Sui Yu, "It turns out that wearing official uniforms is better. No wonder those people are so eager to become officials."
Want to kiss.
"I also want to be an official."
I want to hug Sui Sui and kiss her to death. It would be even better if she was so sweet and soft and pulled his hair fiercely.
Sui Yu glanced at him and said, "If you want to be an official, noble families can rely on recommendations, while common people have to rely on imperial examinations."
Looking Yan Cheng up and down, Sui Yu suppressed a smile and said, "I'm afraid you can only take the military examination."
Unfortunately, Yan Cheng's skills are not the best. This reputation is partly due to his excellent lightness skills, and more due to his unpredictable poison skills.
If you really pick up a spear or a dagger and go into the ring, you may not be able to gain the upper hand.
Yan Cheng pursed his lips, keenly aware that he was being looked down upon by Sui Yu, "Can't I use poison? I'll poison them all and make them stupid."
Without waiting for Sui Yu to answer, Xia Mochi grinned and sneered, "In a serious examination room, how can you use shady means?"
"I didn't say it would be used in the exam room. I could just poison them before the competition. If no one goes on stage, then of course I'll be the winner." Yan Cheng looked serious.
Sui Hao was shocked to realize there was such a method. He was not good at studying, so if he wanted to pass the imperial examination, he would poison most people who could surpass him and not even be able to take the exam...
Like laxatives... hehe...
The beautiful dream that was still in his imagination was shattered by a scroll of calligraphy and painting. Sui Hao covered his head and looked at his sister with grievance.
"Hide those thoughts from your head. Have you forgotten the moral principles I taught you?"
Chu Yinci poured a cup of hot tea and looked up at Sui Yu until she drank it. Seeing that she was not so angry anymore, he turned around and picked up the book to check the accounts.
"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten." Sui Hao had never seen his sister so serious, so he quickly denied it and glared at Yan Cheng who brought up this topic.
He is indeed not suitable to be my sister's husband, no, a male concubine!
"Why don't you hit me?" Yan Cheng waited for a long time, but he didn't see Sui Yu throwing the other scroll of calligraphy and painting at him. He couldn't wait to get closer to Sui Yu with shining eyes.
Sui Yu is now familiar with his peculiar way of thinking. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she understands all his weird ideas.
——He saw that Sui Hao could be hit, so he wanted to be hit too.
Sui Yu's cold expression was finally shattered, almost like she was grinding her teeth. She rolled up the only remaining book in her hand and smashed it on his head, "Get out."
The dazzling figure was driven out of the carriage. Yan Cheng did not waste his time, but sat proudly on the ruts, driving the horse, and patted Sui Hao, who also came out, in a friendly manner.
Sui Hao turned his shoulders and shook off his hand, feeling annoyed and depressed. He had a feeling that his life would not be easy if he met these people in the future.
The journey from Ningguang to Shengjing was much slower and more grand than the journey here.
No one dared to do anything on this trip, because along the way, there were always people who came to visit, and every official post was crowded with people.
The purpose was to meet the famous Prime Minister of Dayong.
Sui Yu covered her face, got into another carriage, and let out a long sigh.
The celebrity effect seems to exist at all times, satisfying everyone's curiosity and natural admiration for those rarely seen dignitaries and nobles.
In particular, she is an absolutely good official in everyone's eyes.
Finally arriving in Shengjing, Xia Mochi pinched his nose and swallowed the bitter fruit he had brewed, then returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion alone in shame.
However, Chu Yinci and Yan Cheng could return to Sui Mansion together with Sui Yu.
This is clearly a huge lag!
So, that evening——
"What did you say?" After finishing his shift, the prince of Dingguo went to the theater to listen to some opera. He twisted his beard which he had grown for a long time, spit out a mouthful of tea, and was full of disbelief.
"Say that again..."
Xia Mochi stuck his head out and said, "Dad, don't be angry with the Prime Minister. Why do you always target a general who leads troops in battle?"
Xia Mochi's father, Xia Yan, covered his chest with his hands, thinking about the soldier Xi Cui came to tell him that his youngest son had been subdued by Sui Yu, and his disdain turned into heartache.
And what does "targeting" mean? He's questioning some seemingly unreasonable policies.
In this life, he watched his father build the empire for Dayong. Fortunately, his father lived a long life. Although he was too old to attend court, it allowed him to be a leisurely man and still be a prince at the age of forty.
He was lucky. Although his eldest son was fascinated by mountains and rivers, his youngest son was very competitive and had excellent martial arts skills. Seeing that there was someone to succeed him, he was even more relieved.
But as a human being, and serving in the imperial court of Dayong, he naturally has to do some practical work in his position.
As for the situation in the court, the military officers headed by him were the most straightforward and radical. Sometimes, in order to protect those who spoke without restraint, he had to step forward and argue with them.
This is mainly aimed at those who are younger.
He rarely initiates arguments nowadays because his son is attending court.
However, at this moment, his son actually stiffened his neck and told him not to target Sui Yu.
Xia Yan was so angry that his heart ached. He pointed at Xia Mochi's nose and was speechless.
"What's going on here?"
