Chapter 81 Who Is Unlucky?
Although Hua Qingfeng has not been removed from his post yet, he has actually been deprived of his power. He has also accepted his fate. These days, he has been cultivating his body and character in the back house. He has calmed down and his spiritual wisdom has also been opened. After savoring all the past, he has a completely different understanding.
No wonder Confucius said, "I examine myself three times a day." I calmed down and thought about all my past, and I felt that the clouds were light and light, which made people feel like dreams. What I used to be stubborn and could not let go, but today I think it was so indescribable.
What made him most happy was that the knot that had been pressing on his heart that made him depressed was untied. If Ya'er really had an affair with Ye Xiaotian, and even falsely accused him of being a lunatic for Ye Xiaotian, she would not have to explain anything to him now, let alone take care of him like this and accommodate him.
Anyway, no one believes anything he says now, and no one can do anything again. Once he realizes that he has misunderstood his wife, and then thinks of his wife's support and help for him without regrets, Hua Qingfeng feels guilty and grateful.
During this period, he was tired of Su Ya when he had time, hoping to repair the relationship between husband and wife.
"Well! Madam, are you painting again?" Hua Qingfeng gently wrapped her soft waist around Su Ya's soft waist, put her chin on her shoulders, and asked with a smile.
Su Ya was still the "high mountain flowing water" given by Ye Xiaotian. At this time, in Hua Qingfeng's eyes, the dazzling feeling she had lost.
Su Ya was criticized by him in public and her innocence was ruined. She was heartbroken at that time. Although her emotions calmed down under Hua Qingfeng's little intention, she still had some resentment. Su Ya struggled to fight her shoulders and said angrily: "You are always tired of what others are doing, so you won't accompany Zi Yu."
Hua Qingfeng smiled and said, "Zi Yu is now sleepy, and she is just waiting for her maid carefully."
Su Ya said: "How come Zi Yu is pregnant with your Hua family's descendants. She is pregnant now and needs to be cared for and loved. Zi Yu is in a happy mood. She is good to the children. Go quickly, she is not a jealous woman!"
Hua Qingfeng whispered: "Ziyu can be pregnant, but my wife must be fine, so why not now..."
When Su Ya heard him say the words of Bai Zhouxuan's lust, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. Before she could speak, she saw Su Xuntian rushing in. That day, Hua Qingfeng was tied back to the back house as a madman. Su Xuntian also rushed to him and explained to him that he had asked his sister for a painting and gave it to Ye Xiaotian, who had just moved to a new house.
Although Hua Qingfeng had heard Su Ya's explanation before, she still didn't understand why she had to write her own small characters on the painting. After listening to Su Xuntian's words, she understood that he knew that this brother-in-law was ignorant and gave it to others. He could not do such a foolish thing, but Su Xuntian did it, so he suddenly disappeared.
Su Xuntian consciously informed Ye Xiaotian, although it was aroused by his loyalty, he was indecisive to his brother-in-law. Seeing that his brother-in-law had lost his power, he was trapped in the back house every day. Su Xuntian was very uneasy, so whenever he had time, he would come to the back house to have wine, chat and relieve his loneliness, and try his best to promote his relationship with his sister and brother-in-law.
When he saw him coming, Su Ya thought he was coming to chat with Hua Qingfeng again. She said, "Your brother-in-law is going to visit Ziyuyuan, don't bother him."
Su Xuntian said: "I didn't ask my brother-in-law to have a drink today, but I have something to say. Sister, brother-in-law. Something happened, something big happened."
Hua Qingfeng is now "without an official, light-hearted", and his mentality is very different from the past. After hearing Su Xuntian's words, he asked calmly: "In recent years, our Huxian has been in constant trouble, and has never stopped. What happened now?"
Su Xuntian poured a cup of cold tea and sat down on the stool. Then he said, "Sister, brother-in-law, County Magistrate Ye has something big to do."
Hua Qingfeng and Su Ya looked at each other, and four words were written in their eyes. "It's him!" Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I guess it's him, this Ye Xiaotian... is simply a demon king in the world. If he is here, it would be strange if he can be calm. What happened to him?"
Su Xuntian said: "Zhao Yicheng wanted to repair the mansion, so he placed his wife, Mrs. Qian, in Ye's mansion. But this morning, the maid who was serving Mrs. Qian found that Mrs. Qian was mysteriously missing. County Magistrate Ye couldn't find it everywhere, so he asked the Bai Zhuan to take someone up the mountain to investigate the case. When the Zhao family heard the news, they also came to the door to make a noise..."
Su Xuntian said the news he had just received from beginning to end, which made Hua Qingfeng and his wife stunned. After a while, Su Ya shook her head and sighed: "I don't mess with you, come to me. Ye Xiaotian is really a person who keeps getting right and wrong."
Although Hua Qingfeng has been trapped in the back house recently, she still feels like a dusty feeling. She has to worry about her future and persuade her wife. She is really depressed, but at this moment she can't help but laugh: "Why do I suddenly feel that the most unlucky person is not me, but Ye Xiaotian, who seems to be the most glorious? Ha! Haha..."
Hua Qingfeng finally couldn't help laughing. This was the first time he had laughed in the past few days. The little maids standing in the outer compartment looked nervous: "Master is going crazy again?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the second hall of the county government office, the magistrate's seat was empty, and everyone sat on the left and right sides below, staring at him with big eyes. Ye Xiaotian had a long face, like a debt collector, and everyone else here owed him a lot of money. However, he was not the only creditor, and Zhao Yicheng, who was sitting opposite him, also had a gloomy face.
Others were silent and looked cautious, especially Bai Zhuanzhu. He felt that he was really unlucky. Now County Magistrate Hua is hiding in the back house to enjoy a peaceful life. County Magistrate Ye was involved in the murder case. Zhao Yicheng died of his father and wife. How could he be the Bai Zhuanzhu?
Seeing that everyone was sitting in a daze and said without saying a word, Bai Zhuan had to clear his throat and said, "Everyone, how can we have to discuss a constitution today? Hua Magistrate Hua went crazy, Zhang Dianshi died of illness, and County Chief Ye and Zhao Yicheng were involved in a major life case. How should we settle it?
Ye Xiaotian was in a bad mood. Hua Qingfeng's public accusation that he had an affair with his wife had not yet subsided. Now this incident has happened again. Even if he can finally prove his innocence, there will always be people in the world with dark mentality. His reputation has been ruined by rumors. Why is it so unlucky!
Zhao Yicheng was in a bad mood. His father died and his "wife" died, and he died inexplicably. In fact, after calming down, he also understood that Ye Xiaotian could not be the murderer, but if Qian Qingqing was the murderer who killed his father, the murderer who killed Qian Qingqing was just a bug. How could this be so favorable!
After Bai Zhuan said that, seeing that everyone was still silent, he had to turn to Zhao Wenyuan and say, "Zhao Yicheng, judging from the current situation we have, there is no evidence to accuse County Chief Ye of the murderer who killed your wife. I cannot accept this accusation."
Zhao Wenyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then he slowly replied: "As for whether Zhujing was harmed by Ye Xiaotian, Zhao is just a guess. What is the truth? Of course, you still need to find out."
When Bai Zhubu heard his tone relaxed, he hurriedly said, "That's natural, that's natural. Uh... But now, Mrs. Zun's plan may be bigger if she sneaks into the room of County Magistrate Ye. Although she is dead, of course, I don't suspect you, Zhao Yicheng, but... to investigate this case, I must ask some questions. What are the grudges between Magistrate Zun and County Magistrate Ye?"
Ye Xiaotian was also very concerned about this matter. He really couldn't figure out why Qian Qingqing wanted to kill him. Could it be that Qian Qingqing was not an ordinary woman. She was not only Zhao Wenyuan's wife, but also under Yang Yinglong, Bozhou. She acted under Yang Yinglong's order?
But for no reason, why did Yang Yinglong kill him? Furthermore, if Yang Yinglong wanted to kill him, there was no reason to send Qian Qingqing as an assassin. Because once Qian Qingqing failed, Yang Yinglong would be passive. He had countless dead soldiers who were difficult for others to find out. Is it necessary to send Qian Qingqing?
Zhao Wenyuan frowned and shook his head gently. Bai Zhuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what kind of family background of Mrs. Zun's wife is, can you tell me?"
Zhao Wenyuan glanced at him coldly and said, "My wife does not have any prominent life experience. She was originally a maid in Yang Tusi Mansion in Bozhou. Because she was very favored by Mrs. Zhangyin, the wife took charge of the marriage and gave me a wife. Do you want to go to Bozhou to verify?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They did not suspect that the Yang Tianwang in Bozhou was intended to be unfavorable to Ye Xiaotian. These two people were really in the sky and the other underground, and it was impossible to have any connection. As for the investigation of the Yang family in Bozhou, there was no need to think about it, but in this way...
Everyone couldn't help but secretly glance at Ye Xiaotian. He couldn't find any other reason. Could it be that the two of them fell in love over time and hated each other because of love, so they caused such a bloody thing? But no one was willing to break this layer of window paper, so everyone said that there was no help in how to solve the current dilemma.
Seeing that they were going around their real purpose, they didn't involve the main topic, and they were really impatient, Luo Xiaoye said, "The current difficulties are: the magistrate is crazy, Dian Shi died of illness, the county magistrate and the post chief were involved in the case, and Amu of Bozhou died in Hu County. How should he report to the court? Let me tell the truth? Hum?"
To be honest, of course it is not possible. Hua Magistrate was "crazy", Zhang Dianshi "dead of illness", Bozhou Amu was a court official of the third and fourth rank, and his real power was particularly superior, but he died here for no reason. The county magistrate and the post chief were both involved in murder cases. If these matters were reported, Huxian would really be famous all over the world.
By then, Ye Xiaotian would definitely be suspended regardless of his injustice or not. Zhao Yicheng, if his father died, Ding You would have been dismissed for three years, but he was suspected of conspiring with his wife to assassinate the county magistrate. Huxian suddenly lost four officials, including the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the Dianshi, and the official magistrate. Among the four, one died madly and the other two were suspects.
With the fact that two county magistrates and one chief clerk had already appeared, it would be difficult for Huxian to attract attention from the government and the public. At that time, every official in Huxian would probably be living like a comb by Feng Xianya. I am afraid that no one will have a good life.
Taxation Ambassador Li Yuncong glanced at Luo Xiaoye and said, "The officials thought that reporting is not good for anyone, and the case should be investigated. However, how to report this to the court to avoid disturbing the local government, we still need to discuss a solution."
Li Yuncong was young and said his real purpose directly without worrying. If you really say the wrong thing, you can just be rejected by others. There is no serious consequence. His words are just saying: We have to pretend to be wrong, cover up the truth, and overcome difficulties together!
This is not the first time they have done this. Everyone dealt with Aidianshi's death after the public opinion. In fact, it is not just Huxian. As long as it can be covered up, if something big happens in other places, it can be covered up.
In later generations, communication was so developed, and there were many news channels for the peak. Local governments also used local protection and self-protection to correct some major accidents without covering up the truth, or making big things small, let alone in this era.
However, although the officials were reluctant to ask Ambassador Li’s proposal, were the parties involved willing? Ye Xiaotian was willing to bear the stigma and endure rumors? Zhao Yicheng’s wife and father died in an unknown way. He was willing to swallow his anger and make a big deal smaller? As long as these two people disagree, they would not be able to cover up these things.
What everyone is most worried about among these two people is not Ye Xiaotian. If they make a choice between reputation and career, most people will still choose to "bear humiliation and bear heavy burdens", but once Zhao Yicheng's father dies, Ding You will inevitably be Ding You. Although Ding You is not dismissed, he can still make a comeback in three years. However, delaying three years in the career will be enough to delay many things. Besides, although his father's death is clear, his wife's death is still confusing. Will he not seek the truth?
At this time, Zhao Wenyuan, who was "who hoped for everyone", coughed gently and said in a tired and hoarse voice: "Before my father died, I had an explanation to me. Bai Zhuzhu and County Magistrate Ye were by my father's side at that time, so I guess they heard it very clearly."
Bai Hong looked at him blankly, and was a little confused for a moment. Zhao Xin was clearly hit by a poisonous arrow that was blood-sealed and killed on the spot. There was no last word left behind. What did he mean by saying this? Ye Xiaotian also raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Zhao Wenyuan.
Zhao Wenyuan looked idly and said to himself: "My father's will: I will resign from my official position and return to my hometown to observe the system. He assisted my elder brother in my department as the Prime Minister. He transferred Qingquan Cave, Bailian Cave, Changling Cave, Wufeng Cave, and Four Caves and Fifteen Flags to my command."
Ye Xiaotian reacted first, nodded, and said, "No, right! Ling Zun did have this fate before he died." Bai Zhuan Zhu didn't understand why Ye Xiaotian said that, but Ye Xiaotian said that. He would not be wrong if he echoed. Bai Zhuan immediately nodded and said, "No, I heard it too!"
After all, Ye Xiaotian lived in Guizhou for a few years and knew much more about the chieftain system than Bai Hong, so he immediately understood what Zhao Wenyuan meant. Zhao Xin's death was an unchangeable fact, and the murderer had no way to investigate. For Zhao Wenyuan, what is the most important thing now? It is the separation of the family property!
Zhao Xin is the chief general of the army under the command of Yang Tiantu. At the same time, he also has his own jurisdiction and tribe, and is also a great chieftain. Zhao Xin governs the Jiudong Fifty-Eight Banners. The heirs who control all these territories are of course his eldest son, but what about the second sons?
Once the elder brother of the second son became chieftains, they would be promoted to Tushe. However, although Tushe is noble, it may not necessarily hold real power. This Tushe is like a prince. The princes of the Song Dynasty lived in the capital and had only one royal palace. The princes of the Ming Dynasty enjoyed fiefdoms and were a prince. How could the power be compared to the same?
In a chieftain tribe, the real power is in control, and the second only to chieftain is the "Prime Minister" (also known as A Mu), and then "housekeeping". This is like an official in the court, and the land house is just a scattered official. Only the land house with positions such as "Prime Minister" and "housekeeping" have real power.
After receiving this promise, Zhao Wenyuan stood up and bowed sadly: "My father passed away, Zhao was so sad that he was exhausted and could not discuss matters. He had to go back to handle the funeral for his father and prepare for his worries. All the government affairs in the yamen discussed it. Just give up the discussion and say goodbye!"
