Mr. Zhou's expression was condensed and he said sternly to Xu Bo'an: "You bastard, why don't you get out of the way when you see Mr. Yan!"
Xu Bo'an saw that this guy was becoming more arrogant, and immediately retorted unhappily: "What does it have to do with you whether I avoid it or not?"
Mr. Zhou's eyes were cold, and he was uncharacteristically not angry because of Xu Bo'an's retort. However, he said with a proud smile of a successful conspiracy on his lips: "Dajing Laws and Regulations , Anyone who meets an official must be neatly dressed, and those who are disheveled must be avoided. Shouldn't you be avoided if you look so slovenly? You are indeed an uneducated country bumpkin, and you don't even know this!"
< br> Only then did Xu Boan realize that there was such a rule in this place, and he also knew that he had been deceived by Mr. Zhou, who was digging a hole for him to jump into.
No way, I have suffered the loss of not being familiar with the place I was born in.
However, before Xu Boan could respond, Yan Shou waved his hand disapprovingly and said magnanimously: "That's all, it's not a formal occasion. I'm just passing by. I'm already disturbing the public this time. I feel something is wrong. Such trivial matters are not so important."
As soon as Yan Shouyi's words came out, the crowd praised him one after another. They praised Yan Shouyi's wisdom one by one. Shenwu, people-friendly and kind.
"Master Yan is so considerate of ordinary people like us. He is indeed a good official with both ability and political integrity!".
“Yes, such a good official, it’s a pity that he has to go to another place to take up his post. I really can’t bear to see Mr. Yan leave.”
“Don’t be too selfish and confused, Yan. Sir, if you go to Qingmu Banner to take up a post, you will be promoted. You can't delay Sir Yan's future."
"Screw you, you are thinking too narrowly about anything that has no future. Master Yan is doing things for more people and doing more things for the great scenery!"
People's Yan Shouyi heard all these words and felt very comfortable in his heart.
For those who are serving as officials, hearing praise from the people is definitely one of the manifestations of full emotional value.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shouyi was enjoying the compliments of the people here, when he suddenly heard a discordant sound coming into his ears.
"Your Majesty's remarks may be slightly inappropriate." However, when Mr. Zhou saw that the hole he dug for Xu Boan failed to work, he felt very unhappy, so he pretended to be righteous and stern again. tone to continue the argument.
Yan Shouyi frowned slightly, but soon returned to his normal smile and said: "Oh? It's true that a hero comes from a young age. When I was as old as you, I was not so courageous. Tell me, what’s wrong with what I said?”
Mr. Zhou thought he was praising himself, so he raised his head proudly and said loudly with a conceited expression on his face: “Master Yan said. This is a trivial matter, it's 'fine-tasting', but the common people disagree! The common people think that this is not a trivial matter, let alone what the adults call 'fastidious'! This
This is my Dajing Law and Regulations The important matters clearly stipulated in the law are the important matters that I, the royal family of Dajing, personally cut with my sword and axe, chiseled and dyed with ink, and declared the world one stroke at a time on the stone pillars of the law! I also ask Lord Yan to take back the order and implement discipline according to the rules!"< br>
Yan Shouyi was originally in a very good mood, but when he heard this inappropriate sound, he suddenly felt very dissatisfied. Originally, he thought that this kid was going to make a reversal and praise himself again, but he didn't expect that this kid actually came to cause trouble at the wrong time!
Who wouldn’t be angry if this kind of thing happened?
After all, this is like the feeling of a person suddenly eating half a worm when he is feasting on a big meal; it is like the feeling of a person walking on a green lawn and suddenly seeing a pile of dog poop!
Such unsightly things will definitely affect your mood!
And there is a saying that the Dajing Dynasty was originally an institutional dynasty with serious official-oriented thinking.
Yan Shouyi has been an official for many years, and he still has the authority and aura he deserves.
Although he is kind-hearted, he still feels that he is superior to others deep down.
Now that I heard that Mr. Zhou, a young man, dared to refute me so shamelessly, and also used such high-sounding words to suppress me, I naturally felt very unhappy.
Yan Shouyi immediately looked at Mr. Zhou with stern eyes, and just snorted softly. Then a follower beside him first asked Mr. Zhou: "Who are you, this kid? How can our Lord Yan's remarks be irrelevant?" Is it something you can distort and judge maliciously?"
Mr. Zhou thought this was a test of himself. After all, Master Yan had praised himself just now. It seems that the upright image I created really suits Master Yan’s taste!
Master Zhou immediately cupped his hands and said as if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers: "I am a member of the Zhou family! I happened to have learned the contents of Dajing Laws not long ago. When I heard the adults mention it, I wanted to remind you. "
Yan Shouyi took the words, slightly wary, and said: "Oh? Zhou family! Which Zhou family! Is it the Zhou family from Qingyundao, or the branch of the Zhou family in Qingmu Mansion? ”
Mr. Zhou blushed slightly when he heard this. In Xishan Market Town, people mention Zhou Yuan's wife's family, which is somewhat famous, but within the scope of Qingmu Mansion and even Qingyun Road, their family is really inconspicuous. Even in Shanyang County, there are many people who are better than his family.
Hearing Yan Shou mention the two big families, Mr. Zhou lowered his tone and said with some confidence: "Well, neither of them, they are our Zhou family in Shanyang County."
After hearing this, Yan Shou thought for a moment and then said: "Oh, the Zhou family in Shanyang County? I haven't heard that there are branches of the Zhou family here in Shanyang County."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou blushed even more and explained again: "It's not that Zhou family, it's our family whose surname is Zhou. My uncle used to be the head of the county prison in Shanyang County. Now he has retired and returned to his hometown. The elderly care here in Xishan Town is called Zhou Yuanwai.”
Originally, he thought that this young man had a great background. After hearing this, he realized that he had scared him.
A shabby household in a county is just hiding in the countryside and wreaking havoc. What is there to be afraid of!
Yan Shu's face immediately became more majestic and said: "Prison leader? Cell leader named Zhou! Haha, you are talking about the money from the prisoner who took bribes for corruption more than ten years ago. The prison leader Zhou who was dismissed from his post and investigated?"
Master Zhou was embarrassed when he heard Yan Shou mention this. After all, these things done by his elders are not honorable at all! Mr. Zhou suddenly felt even more embarrassed. He hurriedly defended himself and said: "Well, my father has already come out, and there was a misunderstanding about the situation at that time. My father has already clarified it." Yan Shou showed a smile. With a hint of contempt, he said: "Haha, misunderstanding? Why didn't I hear about it?
It is a coincidence that due to the corruption case involving the collapse of the county government prison in Shanyang County, the county government did not have enough government servants available. In order to handle the case smoothly, the brothers from Shanyang Order were urgently coordinated to help the county government take over the prison.
I happened to be the junior corps commander in the Shanyang Order that year, and I happened to be responsible for guarding the prison leader Zhou. It was the kind of guard that was done day and night, whether he wanted to eat, drink, poop, sleep, I was always beside him when he was being interrogated and questioned, so I am very familiar with that case.
I remember it very clearly. That case was an ironclad case with solid evidence. How could it be a misunderstanding? Are you sure your father himself said such outrageous things? If that were the case, it would be an ironclad case of criticism and the crime would be punishable by imprisonment! "
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he was dumbfounded. When he thought that he had almost cheated his father unintentionally, he hurriedly said: "I can't remember these things about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds. The focus of our matter today is not here. After all, it doesn’t matter who the common people are. What’s important is that as people of Da Jing, we should all uphold the seriousness of Da Jing’s laws and regulations. "
Yan Shouyi said lightly: "Okay, that's right. So how do you think it should be maintained? "
Mr. Zhou looked at Xu Bo'an fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "Your Excellency, this boy is ragged, but he doesn't know how to avoid you in front of you, regardless of the laws and regulations. According to the laws of Dajing, five to ten blows with the cane are the punishment. "
Yan Shouyi chuckled lightly and said: "I have a different opinion. This young man is not easy at first glance. It must be a sudden change in his family. It is most likely due to the war during this period. Spread. How can I beat such a person? "
Halfway through the words, Yan Shouyi said to Xu Bo'an again: "Young man, you must be here for a piece of clothing to cover your body. Although I, Yan Shouyi, will leave my post soon, I will not leave my post soon." It is also the folks in Mengyin Shanyang County who have nurtured me for so many years, and now I can still be regarded as one of the parents of Shanyang County. Come on, young man, just tell me what clothes you need to buy today. I will pay for the clothes. It can be regarded as one more trivial thing for Shanyang County to do before I leave. "
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he felt very happy. He was really lucky today, and someone wanted to give him clothes again. There is a saying, dressing up as a beggar also has its benefits!
He was not polite to Yan Shouyi. After all, as a mountain god, he had helped Yan Shouyi a lot before. It was just a piece of clothing. Xu Boan didn't think it was short-handed.
He immediately said with a smile: "Okay, that's very good, then being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"
When Mr. Zhou heard that even Yan Shouyi wanted to buy clothes for Xu Bo'an, he suddenly became even more depressed. What's going on today? First, Miss Su, whom he wanted to cling to, was stern with him, but showed love to that beggar-like guy. Then, Master Yan actually offered to buy him clothes.
I am the most famous and proud man in Xishan Town, the focus of everyone. Why did this kid steal all my limelight after he appeared!
I can’t bear it, I absolutely can’t bear it!
Mr. Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, think twice, this is absolutely impossible."
Yan Shou said: "How can I not do it!"
Mr. Zhou was angry. Pointing at Xu Bo'an, he said: "Dajing Luli requires him to avoid it. It's fine if he doesn't. You also buy him clothes. Isn't this a disguised encouragement to him? If this continues, how can the majesty of Dajing Luli exist? ! "
Yan Shouyi said sternly: "It's ridiculous. As a parent official of Shanyang County, what's wrong with me buying some clothes for my children? You keep saying that you want to uphold the laws of Dajing. Are you sure? Have you learned to understand the true meaning of Dajing’s regulations? The regulations mention that you only need to do this during special tasks or ceremonies. There are so many troubles when passing by. ”
"Is this true?" Mr. Zhou was a little unbelievable, but he couldn't seem to find any reasonable reason to refute it. He hadn't learned the laws for a long time. Originally, his family asked him to learn some laws so that he could He could have the opportunity to be sent to the Yamen as an official. After all, in the Jing Dynasty, the status of businessmen was not as high as that of officials.
But Mr. Zhou is not really good at reading. He has memorized some superficial knowledge after learning, and he used it to scare people in the fish and meat village. In the past, he could still scare people. Anyway, most people can't even I don’t even know the words, let alone understand the law! Who would have known that today, unfortunately, he would meet a knowledgeable person.
Yan Shouyi snorted coldly and said: "Since your father was born as a jailer, he is naturally someone who understands the laws and regulations of Da Jing. If you don't know, just go back and ask your father. Don't make noise here and affect other people's business. ”
This time, Young Master Zhou was still able to show his authority in front of ordinary people. In front of the general Yan Shouyi, he naturally did not dare to be disobedient. After hearing Yan Shouyi’s words, Young Master Zhou did not say anything. You talk nonsense, but even if you bow your head and leave, the few followers don't have the courage to stay here anymore, and they all leave in dejection with their tails between their legs.
The store owner, on the other hand, originally watched Mr. Zhou humiliating Xu Boan without saying a word. Now that the matter had calmed down, he turned to Xu Boan and said with a smile: "This little brother, what happened just now I'm really sorry. These people are from rich families in the neighborhood. They are used to being arrogant, so you don't need to pay too much attention."
This is not to comfort Xu Bo'an, but to tell Xu Bo'an that I didn't want to help you just now. , but I don’t dare to help you, and I can’t afford to offend those people.
Of course, this is also meant for Yan Shou. Worried that Yan Shouyi would misunderstand that he was not honest.
Xu Bo'an didn't care too much. After all, the store still wanted to do business here. Naturally, he didn't want to offend Mr. Zhou. He couldn't use the standards of a saint to ask others to help him regardless of the consequences.
Xu Bo'an nodded and said disapprovingly: "Thank you to the store for your advice, I won't take it to heart."
Yan Shouyi was too lazy to continue this topic. It's just an insignificant episode. He directly asked the store to cut the red cloth he wanted, told the store to make clothes for Xu Bo'an, and then went out again.
Xu Boan glanced at Yan Shouyi's back and smiled meaningfully.
You are going to Tushan Temple, so let’s see you later.
