Chapter three hundred and sixty-three

The formation of a person's personality is too complicated, and countless external factors will have more or less influence. Hai Rui's personality is not born, but largely comes from his mother.

Hai Rui's first wife gave birth to two daughters and was forced to divorce by her mother. The second wife was a month old and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good. Hai Rui immediately drove her out of the house... Qian Yuan listened to the yamen runners' congratulations and said in a low voice, feeling glad that he had not met such an old woman.

In the backyard of the county government office, Hai Rui stepped into the field barefoot and picked a few vegetables to cook... Qian Yuan only cooked because he liked delicious food, while Hai Rui could only cook by himself.

After a simple meal, Haima put down her bowl and sat upright at her son. Hai Rui immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, and knelt down on the ground to listen to the teachings.

"I heard about it before." Haimu said softly: "I heard that although Qian Zhancai is a child of a noble family, he is unparalleled and has repeatedly attacked the Japanese. The guards around him are even more famous in the southeast and have repeatedly defeated the Japanese pirates. Is this true?"

"It's true." Hai Rui did not raise his head and leaned on the ground and replied: "The names of the four prefectures of Songjiang, Suzhou, Jiaxing and Hangzhou are everywhere. Because they are mostly old friends with civil and military officials in the southeast, their reputations are everywhere in the southeast."

"The guards trampled on the horse in the downtown area and injured passers-by. They did not flee, but dismounted and apologized to accompany Yin. Why did you make things difficult for him?"

Hai Rui knelt on the ground and said nothing.

Haimu sighed, "I know you tossed and turned every night to build the river embankment. When you saw the tyrants riding horses, you wanted to use this to make profits for the people."

"Have you ever thought about why it ended like this?"

"Son should ask for the history first..." Hai Rui looked up slightly and saw his mother's face look ugly, so he quickly lowered his head, "Please teach my mother."

"Even if you are dedicated to good deeds and do not follow the right path, you will always fall into a bad situation." Haimu reminded: "I have taken the right path now, but I haven't left yet, so obviously the energy has not yet disappeared."

Hai Rui hesitated: "Where will I go and apologize?"

"Why should my son apologize for the benefit of the people?" Haimu snorted, "The so-called "publicity gives birth to wisdom, integrity gives birth to power..."

Halfway through his words, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Hai Rui's two daughters rushed over, which made Hai's mother's face change, and she scolded: "There is no rules!"

The eldest daughter, who was already ten years old, quickly grabbed her sister and stood by the door in a manner and saluted, "Grandmother, father, there are soldiers outside surrounded the county government."

Hai Rui stood up in shock, but the mother of Hai opposite him said, "I will be calm whenever there is any major event."

Hai Rui calmed down, bowed to his mother slowly, then walked out of the room, turned around and walked towards the front yard.

The lights were brightly lit in the lobby of the county government, and Qian Yuan was still drinking tea leisurely. He chatted and joked with the guards around him from time to time. Seven or eight generals stood in sternly. Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng sat on Qian Yuan's side with a serious expression.

Seeing Hai Rui appearing around the corner, Qian Yuan put down the teacup and whispered: "Go, Yang Wen, you can lead the two yamen runners, and you must catch them all in one go."

Hai Rui was about to enter the lobby to ask what happened, but a guard stopped him with one hand and pressed his other hand on the hilt of the knife, shouting: "Stop."

Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng turned their heads and turned their heads indifferently, and their eyes fell on the head of the kneeling on the ground.

Hearing the neighing and shouting of horses, seven or eight generals led their troops to pounce on the west side outside Fuyang County. Captain Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, collapsed as if he had no bones.

In this era, one person is concerned about the ascension of the gods, and one person is involved in the disaster. It is difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. But at least, if you enjoy the money of the Japanese pirates, you will be raided, exiled or even beheaded.

Qian Yuan stood up and walked a few steps, kicking the captain's calf, "I moved to Fuyang County at the beginning of last year. Three months later, I sent my former county magistrate 300 taels of silver to become a constable, and I was trusted by the Hai Magistrate to be promoted to the captain. I believe the Liu family should have a wealth of wealth."

Captain Liu was excited and was about to speak, but Qian Yuan waved his hand and an escort stuffed a piece of cloth into the guy's mouth. He didn't want to listen to this guy's nagging.

Qian Yuan smiled gently and said, "Captain Liu, remember the name Wu Dahu? His name should be Liu Hu, right?"

"I also had a nickname called Huabanhu, and it is said that I went into the sea more than ten years ago."

"I regretted it when I handed over the person that day. The next day he died suddenly in Nanjing prison, and I regret it even more."

"He should be dug out his flesh piece by piece and cooked a dish, and it will definitely sell well...at least countless people in Yanzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, and Taiping Prefecture are willing to spend this money."

Qian Yuan's voice was not loud and his tone was quite gentle, but everyone around him could hear a slight smell of blood from the words.

When Wang Yin went back to report the letter, Hu Zongxian nodded after thinking about it. Zheng Ruozeng followed him and found out on the way that the second son of the Liu family was the guide who had been rampant for more than a hundred Japanese pirates last year.

Last year, Qian Yuan intended to ask someone to inquire about it, but he was summoned to Beijing before he could make arrangements. This time he returned to the southeast and planned to deal with it later, but he didn't expect to hit him today.

As a matter of doing this, I happened to give some money to the Governor's Office of Hu Zongxian, which is also a small favor.

"A few days ago, did you instigate Magistrate Hai so much because your elder brother died at the hands of the governor?" Qian Yuan said with a smile: "It's so stupid, don't shrink your head... Now, with one knife, it's all over."

Qian Yuan spoke softly, and the faces of the guards around him were covered with ferociousness. They were the old men around Qian Yuan, all following Yang Wen, and Xu Wei pursued the Japanese pirates for thousands of miles. Wherever he passed, he was scorched earth, which was terrible.

Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Yin had no expression on their faces, and slowly drank tea and waited for the news to come.

Hai Rui was stopped outside the lobby of the county government and was not allowed to enter, and his eyes were blazing fire... Unfortunately, no one took him seriously.

"If Hai Gangfeng was in the early years of the country, he would be a famous minister of the generation." Zheng Ruozeng glanced at Hai Rui outside the door.

In the early Ming Dynasty, it was common for Juren to enter the officialdom. Even students from the Imperial College could become senior officials... Of course, the most important reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang liked honest officials and liked to peel and fill grass, which was more in line with Hai Rui's temper.

Wang Yin had different opinions, "Taizu valued effectiveness, and Haigangfeng had no talent for governance."

"It's hard to say. I heard that he had cleared the land when he first arrived, and cleared the difficult cases." Zheng Ruozeng smiled and said, "It is said that Zhan Cai was found to build the river embankment."

"At this time, Qingzhang land..." Qian Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "A idiot, Mingduan case... he is not called Mingduan."

"how?"

"Instead of wronging the common people, I would rather wronging the people in the village." Qian Yuan spread his hands and said, "Someone sued the rich for forcing the land to occupy the land. He asked the rich to return the land without asking about right and wrong... The head of that family was a Jinshi on two lists and had just passed away."

Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng both shook their heads slightly. This kind of thing is too complicated and Hai Rui handled it too roughly.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, once someone passed the Jinshi, not to mention relatives and friends, even the people nearby would contribute land to tax exemption and wait for the Jinshi to die... Those people naturally wanted to take back the land, so the cunning people took advantage of this loophole.

In fact, if Hai Rui was able to pass the Jinshi exam, his life trajectory might be completely different. Qian Yuan felt that Hai Rui's best position was the Censor of the Censorate... But this guy's temperament is probably unwilling to be a gunman for others. Whether it is Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Mo, Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, they will all be criticized. It is estimated that the Censor will have to get out after being a Censor for less than a month.

In the lobby, Captain Liu, who was blocked, was thrown to the corner, and the guards stood solemnly, and Qian Yuan and the other three chatted casually.

Hai Rui outside the lobby has calmed down. If it were only Qian Yuan, it can only be said that everyone in the world misread him in the past few years. But there are also Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng’s two confidant aides of Zhejiang Governors, which forced Hai Rui to think more.

News from outside has also been heard. The Liu family was confiscated, and the whole family was thirteen people, and dozens of servants were detained. Hai Rui asked someone to inquire and reported that the charge he received was to communicate with the Japanese.

Qian Yuan, who heard the neighing sound of horses outside and drank a stomach full of tea, smiled and said, "Come on, let's see how lucky Hu Ruzhen is tonight."
