Chapter 20: Fighting for Fields
County Magistrate Wang looked at Ye Chunqiu up and down, and became suspicious again, unable to help but say, "Have you seen you in this county?"
This sentence... sounds familiar.
Then a more familiar sentence made Ye Chunqiu want to hit the wall.
The clerk standing beside him smiled and said, "Sir, Ye Chunqiu's biological father is Ye Jing, the master of the Ye family in Hexi. Sir, this is the real little Ye Jing."
County Magistrate Wang suddenly realized and smiled: "Oh, so that's it, the younger generation is terrifying, Ye..." Speaking of this, County Magistrate Wang was slightly stunned again, and the clerk beside him reminded: "Chunqiu, Ye Chunqiu..."
County Magistrate Wang was 80% thick-skinned and smiled: "Yes, Ye Chunqiu, you did a good job this time, the article... I have read it briefly, it is quite experienced. This county has ordered you as the head of the case. I hope you will not be complacent. Next month, I will be the government examination and work hard."
Ye Chunqiu was completely no longer interested in County Magistrate Wang, and even forgot his name. He said that he valued himself and was teasing me. He bowed and said, "Yes."
County Magistrate Wang was too lazy to say anything else, so he gave a few instructions and stood up and left.
The teacher saw that the county magistrate left, and then he had the opportunity to make a comeback, so he began to sternly and start talking nonsense again...
One day, except for physical and mental fatigue, there was nothing interesting. When I returned to the inn in the afternoon, some children planned to stay in the county to prepare for the exam, and invited Ye Chunqiu to stay with me, and wanted to discuss the art preparation with Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu was unwilling to stay: "When Jiayan came, he told me to go back soon."
Someone showed regret, and someone asked Ye Chenliang, who said, "Jia Ci also hopes that I will go home soon."
I guess I feel that I haven't become the leader of the case and I'm afraid of being embarrassed.
The Ye brothers set off to return home, and had no words all the way. When they arrived at the Ye family compound, the concierge said anxiously: "Oh, are you going back now? It's good to come back. The old lady was very worried. She originally wanted to send a message to ask you to come back quickly."
Ye Chenliang was very loyal and said, "What happened?"
The menzi said with a sad face: "The Huang family is making trouble again, but it is for the Hedong land. The second son of the Huang family passed the Jinshi the year before yesterday. He was originally in the Ministry of Revenue to observe politics. This book is nothing great, but I heard that... the court had the will to transfer him to the Nanjing Censorate and became the inspector of Zhejiang Province. The Huang family had this confidence, so they came to ask for the land in Hedong again and said they wanted to deal with our Ye family. When the great master heard this, he was furious and was now sick. Unfortunately, the second master went to Hangzhou early in the morning, and the third master said he was sick. The Huang family is very arrogant now. The great master was not in good health, so the great master went to mediate. The great master was afraid that you would encounter something in the county, so he ordered someone to call you back quickly."
"Ah... my father is sick..." Ye Chenliang looked heartbroken and rushed into the mansion without saying a word to hug the old man's thigh and asked about his well-being.
My dad went to negotiate?
Ye Chunqiu felt very bad.
The Huang family and the Ye family are both big families in Hexi, but their relationship has always been bad. If you really want to trace it, the grudges can almost be counted from the grandfather's generation. As for the land in Hedong, it is a bad debt. Originally, the land belonged to the Ye family, but because the river flooded one year, hundreds of acres of land there were impacted by the river, it became a country of marshals. The Ye family suffered heavy losses. After the water receded, the Huang family ran to Hedong to reclaim the depression. The Ye family naturally refused and believed that the land belonged to their own family. However, the Huang family said that this was the wasteland they had reclaimed by themselves. Seven or eight years ago, for this matter, the two sides used all their relationships and means, and finally reached an agreement. One person and half of the land were.
Unexpectedly, the Huang family became hard and caused trouble again.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with more than a hundred acres of land. The reason why the two families refuse to give in is to save face. If they suffer losses, they will definitely be looked down upon.
Ye Chunqiu felt that the cause of this matter was not the land, but the second son of the Huang family.
The second son of the Huang family has recently been promoted to the position of the Nanjing Censorate. Ye Chunqiu knew nothing about this position. He hurriedly checked it in his mind and then understood what was going on.
The inspector and the censor are not a high-ranking official, but they are just seven or eighth ranks. Speaking of which, even the county magistrate of this county is comparable to him in terms of rank. The Ye family also has some relationships locally, so they will not be bullied by others.
However, the results of searching in your brain still made Ye Chunqiu feel sad, because the inspector's censor is Feng Cong-in, supervising the discipline and political achievements of the officials under his jurisdiction. Any local officials who use their power for personal gain or whose political achievements are not impressive can directly report impeachment. Therefore, what local officials fear most is not the boss, but the inspector's censor.
It's like the county magistrate of this county may not be afraid of the Ningbo prefect, but when he hears that the inspector is coming to investigate you, he will probably be scared to death.
"The Huang family suddenly made trouble. It turned out that there was such a promising person at home. He is now the Censor of the Kedao in Zhejiang. How dare the county magistrate provoke him? There is a favoritism from the government. My father's trip is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
Oh, my dad went to Hedong, so what are you waiting for...
Ye Chunqiu said nothing and said to Ye San: "Drive, let's go to Hedong."
The concierge hurriedly said, "Young Master Chunqiu, no, the master has given me instructions."
The old lady ordered a yarn, how could Ye Chunqiu take care of so much now, and said to Ye San: "Let's go."
Ye San was not polite, rolled up his sleeves, rushed to the car and left.
Along the way, Ye Chunqiu had many thoughts. After spending so many days together, he always believed in a bloody fact that his father was a good person. If he were not a good person, he would not have been bullied by his second uncle like this. He would rather suffer losses than go out.
Now that the Huang family is prepared, the second uncle suddenly went to Hangzhou. The third uncle happened to be sick again. There is no such coincidence in this world. It must be that these two uncles smelled something. They thought this was very difficult, so they could avoid it.
Even they couldn't solve it, and the soles of their feet were covered with oil. My father hadn't been home for more than ten years, and he could almost say that he had nothing to do with him locally. Wouldn't he beg for death when facing the prepared Huang family?
When he arrived in Hedong, there were countless fertile fields here. Although the terrain was low and the river often flooded, the land was very fertile because of the impact of the flood. Ye San went along the ridge to inquire, but he said with amusement: "Young Master Chunqiu, oh, it's bad. I just heard the merchants here that the people of the Huang family had a dispute with the master, and they also said that our Ye family had taken their land. They instructed dozens of merchants to take the master to the county, saying that they wanted to punish the master, but the master could not pull them, so they were taken away by them. The people of the Huang family made a noise and said that this time the master must be given a board and the shackles were not shown to the public."
It's cruel enough.
Although Ye Chunqiu likes this kind of domineering, after all, the domineering president has always been his occasional fantasy while he is waiting to die. However, this domineering is not the case when it comes to his father.
Ye Chunqiu thought to himself that this time the Huang family did this, but it might not be for the sake of dozens of acres of land. It is very likely that it was because of the previous grudges that made them hope to use this reason to hurt the Ye family at one time, and to step on the Ye family once and for all.
And my father just hit the gun.
