41. The chief supervisor is willing to pass the list
A serious problem was easily resolved just because Hong Dashou's predecessor had been studying hard for more than ten years.
Knowledge changes destiny!
The businessman who made the first announcement was of course true, but he was still judged as a liangban and not only fought in thirty battles, he was also punished as an official slave and served as a prison camp in Pyongyang.
Don't look at it, no one usually takes Hong Dashou as a second-class householder seriously. Even the middle-ranking official in the yamen doesn't take him seriously. He usually shouts and drinks, but it's not good at all.
face.
But today is different from the past. No matter how bad the Liangban of Hong Dashou is, he is still a Liangban. Especially in front of so many Liangban adults and a supervisor. How dare a good and untouchable man tell Liangban?
If they don’t severely suppress their arrogance, how can they still be in this country in the future?
The moment Hong Dashou's identity was confirmed, Hong Dashou was actually fine and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
After all, the upper class can look down on Hong DaShou, but ordinary people can't. The only ones who can look down on Hong DaShou are the adults!
Feudal system, nothing else!
"Superintendent, Wan Sheng and three others from the same county were kidnapped here. Please beg the Superintendent to release them."
"I understand, just wait and take them away."
Superintendent Min didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters. Since he was from the same county as Hong Dashou, he could tell the difference just by listening to the accent, so he was not afraid of Hong Dashou cheating.
Two officials came over, helped Hong Dashou up, and sent Hong Dashou to apply some trauma medicine. After all, this was a major case in which their immediate superior, Ruixing County Sheriff, was involved in the "clear judgment", so they still had to handle the matter honestly.
Originally Hong Dashou only had to save the two brothers Han Sanshi and Han Wushi, but the merchant who was kidnapped a day earlier than them always had to help.
Hong Dashou is not a bad person. Since that man did not go to the government to report Hong Dashou, at least he still has a conscience. If we don't save him now, it will be unsightly. Taking him with us is not a big deal.
But it's a pity that the man's life was not good. He didn't know what he was hit in the previous melee. He fell down in the crowd, and a good life was lost in Ruixing.
However, the Han brothers had not yet been identified, so they were snatched out of the crowd and released without even asking.
Fortunately, the camp left by Master Zheng and his gang outside the city was not destroyed, and his tent became the temporary office of a county supervisor. He was in charge of screening the rebels and disposing of the corpses outside the city.
Hong Dashou and the others got a small tent, which at least gave them a place to stay. Han Sanshi stayed to take care of them, while Han Wushi made two trips back to Nanchuan Store to get money and rice.
After resting for two days, Hong Dashou was finally able to go to the ground. Superintendent Min in the city actually remembered him as a little person and sent someone to summon him to the city, saying that he had something to ask.
The imperial envoy asked who dared not to go. Hong Dashou could only go to Ruixing City accompanied by Han Sanshi. They didn't let Hong Dashou wait too long, and the news came almost as soon as he entered the station.
………
"Wan Sheng pays homage to the eunuch." Hong Dashou had to kneel as usual. After all, the imperial envoy represented the king and always had to kneel when meeting the king.
However, Supervisor Min didn't seem to be such an unreasonable person. He knew that Supervisor Hong had not had a good time after being beaten for thirty years, and he was afraid that he would be disrespectful, so he spared it.
"No courtesy, please sit down."
"Let me ask you, you set out from the capital and went from Pingshan to Ruixing. What did you see along the way?"
"Well..." Hong Dashou was a little scared and did not dare to answer. This question was clearly intended to ask about the local people's sentiments.
Min Tingyue was the imperial envoy. If he was not satisfied, it would be unknown how many people's lives would be lost. Hong Dashou did not dare to express any opinions on the prison relief matters of Huanghai Ping'an Road.
"It doesn't matter if you say so. I already understand it and I'm just consulting with you."
"Well, when I was born in Pingshan, I also saw an epidemic of typhoid fever in a village. It is said that no less than a thousand people died from the epidemic. I am afraid that there is not only a simple famine in the place, but also an epidemic of epidemic diseases."
"Hmm... Pingshan County actually didn't write anything about this to me! How bold!"
Although Supervisor Min spoke harshly, the expression on his face did not change at all. It seemed that he had expected this kind of thing, and it was not too strange. In years of disaster, it is normal to have some epidemics.
"The other thing is that the drought was severe last year, and the local government still pressed for collection. I saw a few people selling their sons and daughters on the way."
Superintendent Min nodded and didn't even reply. Obviously, in his eyes, concealing the truth from below was much more serious than imposing excessive taxes. However, as a feudal bureaucrat who was in the central government, he did resent the local government more. concealment.
"The other thing is, about Zheng Ni's incident, people in the Nanchuan store were kidnapped, and those who didn't follow the thieves were even set on fire to death. It's really outrageous and shocking!"
"These traitors have no king or father, so they are naturally cruel in their methods."
The two of them talked for about half an hour. Hong Dashou briefly talked about what Superintendent Min should know, as well as things that were not a big deal in the eyes of the two squad masters.
As for the many atrocities committed by the government, unless Superintendent Min already knew about them and pointed them out, Hong Dashou would only describe them briefly and not dare to go into depth at all.
However, after a detailed discussion, Hong Dashou found that Superintendent Min Ting and Min were pretty good. Although he believed that people should cultivate and weave, collect grain and pay taxes, he also believed that officials should take care of themselves and live in peace with the people.
He is a relatively qualified feudal bureaucrat, and in this turbid era, he is already a clean stream that cannot be more clean.
"You failed in the translation subject this time, will you still take the exam next year?" Superintendent Min asked about the gossip.
"There has been a drought this year, there is no harvest, and my family doesn't have much savings. I'm afraid I won't be able to take the exam next year."
"That's a pity. Your Chinese is very good, so you should pass the exam. I also know the general idea of not taking the exam this time. If you come back next year, I will pass the exam for you."
"This! How could a late-born man be so virtuous? How could the eunuch be so kind to him?" Hong Dashou didn't understand. The two met by chance, and there was no need for Min Tingyue to directly agree to let Hong Dashou take the Chinese Translation Department.
"The imperial court has sent me as an envoy to the Qing Dynasty many times, but the recent translators are really declining, and it is difficult for practical scholars like you to make progress."
I see!
The Translation Examination has been manipulated too many times in secret, and all the candidates selected are the children of the two classes who pretend to be the best. This really worries Min Tingxiao, who has served many times in the Qing Dynasty. Now there is a man who is qualified to take the exam and has been kind to Hong. The guardian appears.
Give me a pillow if you feel sleepy!
It's not like the Sima Examination to enter the Shishi Department, a mere miscellaneous subject can win over a pretty good young man for the Min family, which is very conducive to cultivating the foundation of their family.
"The Chief Superintendent is so kind!" Hong Dashou certainly knew that an official with a background in translation had no future at all, and this bullshit imperial court was not a place for a little shrimp like him to stay.
Chapter completed!
