Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role - Chapter 370

Taking advantage of the chaos in Uncle Six’s house, the **** brothers spent a whole day in the nearby village collecting news about his family. As the evening approached, the two came back sullenly.

He Da said to Shi Yan in disbelief: “Boss, I can’t believe that such a family of beasts has a surprisingly good reputation in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, and is a well-known home for farming and studying.

Never bully men and bully women, and even if the villagers come to ask for something, their family will enthusiastically help solve the problem, and never shirk.

The wind comment is better than the patriarch’s family! “

He Da scratched his head anxiously: “This thing is too tricky, let alone we can’t get strong evidence, even if there is any evidence to prove that they are bullying men and women, others won’t believe it!”

Yan had thought about this for a long time. Let the two go on this trip. I didn’t really expect them to find out anything. It was just to let the two attract Uncle Six’s attention, so that the old man would show his flaws.

Sure enough, Uncle Six did not let him down, even when the family was heartbroken for his health and reputation, he still took time out of his busy schedule to tell his second son: “Find someone to keep an eye on the village, if it happens in the past two days. If there are outsiders going in and out to inquire about something, be sure to keep an eye on it.

That must be the person Yao Shi sent to inquire about the situation! He made our father and son lose face in the village, and this revenge must be avenged! “

Then He Da Er and the other two were naturally targeted by the sixth uncle.

So Shi Yan hid around his house and spent a day listening to the sixth uncle and his second son hiding in the room and discussing **** Yao Shi.

How to write a letter to the eldest son in the capital to gain sympathy and support from the eldest son.

How to guard against the patriarch’s family and completely make them breathless.

How to give a little benefit to the clan after the event, so that they can forget this shameful thing smoothly, and continue to follow their lead.

From these scattered conversations, Shi Yan successfully found valid information and learned a major event for the entire Miaojia Village. Then carefully sneaked into Uncle Six’s study and found relevant evidence.

“There is too much room for activities such as bullying men and women. As long as Boss Miao is around for a day, these things will not cause substantial harm to the sixth uncle’s family.

It’s really challenging, things can’t even get out of the family.

If you want to find it, you must find a major event that touches the interests of the whole clan, so that the clan can’t cover them up. If the clan can directly come forward and confront the sixth uncle’s family, without using our hands, that would be the best. “

Hearing what Shi Yan said, He Da nodded, shook his head, and said with a headache, “The truth is that, but it’s easier said than done. It’s a big trouble for us outsiders to find out!”

trouble? It’s not too troublesome.

Shi Yan beckoned and whispered in their ears for a while, the two frowned, then nodded, and finally went to work all night without saying a word, not wanting to say a word to the boss.

At the same time, I thought in my heart, if I want to talk about damage, it’s our boss who lost. The brother of the **** bureau honestly didn’t deceive me. He really was the head of the local ruffian who was prosperous in the streets back then!

She didn’t know that Shi Yan, who had been rumored to be the street tyrant in Bai’an County back then, watched the backs of the two leaving, and stood up leisurely, ready to go to sleep.

“When I’m old, I can’t stand staying up all night. After I stay up all night, my body can’t stand it anymore!”

Shi Yan was able to sleep soundly, but no one in Yao Shi’s family in Miaojia Village could sleep soundly.

Since the news of Liu’s being burned to death spread last night, the Yao family’s wife and children were all tense, and they all wanted to wait for Yao Shi to come back and ask for more details.

After a day of torment, when night fell, the two servants hid in the house with a few children and did not dare to come out. Everyone knew that the lady was in a bad mood and did not dare to come out and touch her bad luck at this time.

The lights in the main room were dim, and the candle wick made a slight beeping sound in the air, which woke up Mrs. Yao who was in a daze in front of the mirror.

Mrs. Yao looked around, slowly turned her head and asked the old man beside her, “Nanny, do you think he will come back?”

Seeing the look of a child she had brought up from childhood, the nanny stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted her, “Yes, I will! The nanny asked people to inquire quietly today, and many people outside said that Liu’s The fire on the side was strange.

Others don’t know, can you still not know? Yao Shi and Uncle Six were not as good as those years ago, and because of the silver issue, they were just in front of them. “

As he said that, he looked around and whispered into Mrs. Yao’s ear: “The old slave guessed that this fire cannot be said to be caused by Yao Shi. It is because of this guess that you thought that he would not show up today. Is it?”

Mrs. Yao frowned, as if hesitating: “According to what I know about him, he is someone who can do such a thing. It’s just Liu Shi…”

As if remembering some unpleasant memory, she pursed her lips: “Forget it, she is also a poor woman. It is also a relief to go like this. I will go back and burn some more paper money, and I will give birth to a good child in my next life. A beast with a human face and a beast heart.”

The nurse is a little worried: “Uncle Six has suffered a big loss, and he is not willing to let it go. If Yao Shi’s actions are found by Uncle Six, and the eldest son of the Miao family is there, it will definitely implicate you and the young master…”

Mrs. Yao frowned even more: “That’s what I’m worried about. It doesn’t matter if that person doesn’t go home all the year round, and it doesn’t matter if he messes around outside. As long as outsiders know that there is a man in our family who supports the door, they won’t dare to bully the door. Come.

If something happens to that person, I don’t care, but two children can’t have a murderer father!

If there is a day, the two children will grow up in rumors and rumors, and the three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, and the future will be completely ruined! This kills a thousand knives! “

While the two were talking, the concierge knocked on the door in a hurry, and said eagerly: “Madam, someone put a package at the door just now. When the little one opened it, he found that it was a booklet. Would you like to take a look?”

The nanny quickly opened the door, almost grabbed the booklet, turned around and entered the room, and quickly closed the door.

Both she and Mrs. Yao thought it was a letter from Yao Shi.

Mrs. Yao opened it quickly, read it hastily, and was taken aback. It was written that three years ago, when the southern part of the country suffered a severe drought, Fucheng organized wealthy households to donate money and food. Under the call, every household who has grain contributes grain, and those who do not have grain contribute.

Whether it was donating grain or organizing staff to transport grain to the south, every household in the village participated. Afterwards, the county magistrate reported the matter to the court, and the eldest son of the sixth uncle’s family was praised by the court and successfully entered the Guozijian to study.

In the village, there was a plaque handwritten by the Zhizhou adults – the village of benevolence and righteousness. The plaque is still hanging at the gate of the ancestral hall. During the festivals, all the old and young people in the village have to go to pay their respects.

Let them be proud and proud in the ten miles and eight villages.

The nanny is also clear about this matter: “The boss of the Miao family can enter the National Children’s Prison, and the big guys have nothing to say. Who let the father-in-law be the grandfather of the sentence? Don’t look at this matter is reported by the county magistrate, and he has nothing to do with his father-in-law. A relationship with a copper plate, but this is just to deceive the fools in the village who have never seen the world.

But the village also got benefits, everyone is very grateful to his family, and even some small resentments at the beginning have long since disappeared. “

But Mrs. Yao’s hands trembled when she saw the content below. The copy above was a reward sent from the capital to the people of Miao Village.

It was clearly written above that the Ministry of Rites awarded Miaojia Village a plaque of “Reneousness and Righteousness”, and gave Miaojia Village ten places to enter the Fucheng for those who transported grain in the south.

Mrs. Yao has already been unable to care about such an important thing, why did she appear at the door of her house for no reason, she just wanted to confirm one thing: “Let’s not talk about how the plaque of this village of benevolence and righteousness has changed from a reward from the Ministry of Rites to a handwritten letter by Zhizhou adults.

Just about going to Fucheng as an errand, only three juniors from the Sixth Uncle’s family went there, right?

And the three children were young at the time, so they didn’t follow them to the south to **** food and grass, right? “

The nurse nodded affirmatively: “Miss, that’s right. At that time, there were a lot of people in the village who were envious and jealous, but they all thought that it was a benefit for the in-laws given to the in-laws. Envy is useless!”

Madam Yao was distracted with the booklet, and walked around the room for a long while before she made up her mind: “If this is true, it will definitely make the sixth uncle’s family unable to turn over from now on.

If we can find Yao Shi at his house, we will be really safe if we press down his house first. “

Mrs. Yao finally made up her mind, and asked the nurse to help him change into decent clothes, put on a black cloak, and took the nurse and the servant, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, to go directly to the door of the patriarch’s house.

When they came out of the patriarch’s house, the three of them were speechless all the way. After entering the house, Mrs. Yao whispered softly: “After this matter, it’s time to think about the way back, leaving the scourge of Yao Shi outside, sooner or later. It hurts us.”

He Da, who had been observing this side secretly, saw that this matter had been completed according to the boss’s prediction, so they quietly went back to report to the boss overnight.

The two of them were still curious about where the booklet Shi Yan gave them came from. After all, something so secretive that it might even lose its head is true. Who can’t hide it?

Shi Yan woke up early the next morning and listened to the two of them asking these questions.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s just that this matter is not at all serious.

After listening to the conspiracy of Sixth Uncle and Miao Erlang, he sneaked into other people’s study and found it. He didn’t even think that the order from the capital, when he arrived in the village, could be implemented like this through deception. .

I have no grassroots work and life experience in the past, I can imagine it, but it is still very shocking to experience it in person.

“The Sixth Uncle’s family, relying on the first pass sentence, can really do whatever they want in this one-third of Miao Village.

Not to mention what happened to that plaque.

How many people’s fates can be changed by just ten places to go to the state government? They were suppressed by Uncle Six’s family in private. They didn’t even have the qualifications to know, and they have been kept in the dark.

The rewards that the villagers have exchanged for their lives have become the foundation of their fortunes.

I heard that at that time, most of the people who went to the south to transport food were from the line of the patriarch. Two promising juniors died on the way, and several strong laborers were injured. It took two years to raise them to work in the fields.

The old guy’s move naturally hit the patriarch, which can be said to serve multiple purposes. “

He Da took people around to inquire about it for a day yesterday, but it wasn’t without gain. Combined with what Shi Yan said, he analyzed the matter in various ways.

“This old boy is really brave!”

“We used to say that we were daring and wicked in the local gangsters on the street, but our brothers are far from being in front of this old boy! Tsk tsk tsk, how else to say that scholars are ruthless, those of us who work hard are really not rivals!”

After sighing, He Dacai realized that something was not right, so he hurriedly looked for a fix: “Boss, I didn’t mean that you, a scholar, are ruthless and ruthless!”

“No, you haven’t read for a few days at all, and you’re not considered a scholar…”

“No, I mean that your style of behavior is not the same as someone who is a scholar. Don’t think of yourself as a scholar…”

“Hey, forget it, I just wanted to say, it’s terrifying to think about people with the brains of you scholars!”

He Da gave up on himself, feeling that he was greatly stimulated by the affairs of the sixth uncle’s family, and began to babble nonsense, his mouth was out of his control.

After speaking, he breathed out a sigh of relief, only to feel that the stone on his chest had fallen halfway, chasing after Shi Yan, who was standing in the yard washing, and asked another matter: “Boss, you said that the patriarch is the sixth uncle’s family. opponent?”

After Shi Yan finished rinsing his mouth, he saw that He Da stayed up all night, going back and forth from Miaojia Village. He did not sleep when he came back, but he was still energetic and energetic to study these things, and raised his eyebrows: “Tell me about it first.”

He Da took the water that Shi Yan had washed his face with, and then snorted and rubbed his face. After rubbing, even the front of his clothes was stained with water. He wiped it with his cuff, and squatted under the eaves very carelessly, and said sadly: “In the yamen, after all, that’s what happened.

Whether he can decide for the people or not depends on whether the person in charge of the household has a conscience.

Although the incident of Uncle Six touched the interests of the entire village, it suppressed the way for the entire village to move forward, and the entire Miaojia Village had to become a vassal of their family, relying on their family to live.

But it is because of this that the arm can’t twist the thigh. If the sixth uncle’s family promises enough interest, maybe the villagers will not be with the patriarch.

Because everyone knows that even if this matter goes to the county office, the sixth uncle’s family has a relationship with the county magistrate.

For these things, offending the sixth uncle’s family and surviving in the village in the future is not worth it. “

In the final analysis, there are three words: can’t be bothered.

Although it sounds very helpless, this is the current living situation of ordinary people. For villagers who have traveled to the county town several times in their lives, the village and their clan are the basis of their survival. For no reason, no one will offend the clan. The most patient of all.

Shi Yan understood and patted He Da, who was squatting on the ground and holding his head in distress: “Okay, let people stare at Miaojiacun, I have something here that you need to go to in person.”

He Da raised his head abruptly, stared at Shi Yan with shining eyes, bared his teeth and smiled: “Boss, I knew you had a solution!”

Shi Yan walked into the house and handed the envelope he wrote last night to He Da solemnly: “Send it at the address above, and you must find a way to watch the other person show the letter with your own eyes.

Also, you’d better not come forward in person and let people get us involved. “

He Da’s intrigue is impossible, but his execution is first-class, which is why Shi Yan deliberately brought him out of Bai’an County.

Hearing what Shi Yan said, he carefully accepted the letter and agreed solemnly. He hurriedly ate two baskets of big buns, and went out in good spirits without saying anything about making up for sleep.

When he went out, he bumped into Yang Hegao who came out of the opposite yard. He Da swept away the depression of yesterday and rubbed Yang Hegao’s head with a smile: “Boy, wait for our boss to become an apprentice!”

This means that Shi Yan can fulfill Yang Hegao’s original request perfectly.

Yang Hegao held a steaming bowl of rice porridge in his hand, which looked soft and glutinous, and his eyes narrowed when he heard the smile. He didn’t ask what happened to He Da, and moved the big bowl forward in his hand. One push:

“My mother just boiled it and put sucrose!”

He Da was not polite, stood at the door, took a bowl of snoring three or two and ate a bowl of rice porridge, pushed the bowl into Yang Hegao’s hand, waved his hand, turned around and left in a dashing manner.

Yang Hegao watched people leave, turned around and entered the yard, and soon brought another bowl to Shi Yan. In addition to a bowl of thick porridge, there were two other side dishes.

“I made it.”

Other than that, there is no extra word. Just stared at him curiously.

Shi Yan felt that this child was very interesting. Apart from saying a lot of things when they met for the first time, he really could not say anything on weekdays. If it weren’t for his eyes that could talk, it would be really difficult for others to figure out this. What do children think about when they are young?

Slowly tasting the side dishes made by Yang Hegao himself, and meeting the curious eyes of the children, Shi Yan finally spoke up: “I heard some interesting things in Miaojia Village yesterday, Uncle Xu feels it is necessary to let the parties know about it. “

He tilted his head and asked Yang Hegao who was standing beside him with a puzzled face: “Do not leave your name for good deeds, understand?”

Yang Hegao shook his head, and replied very reservedly: “I have done a good deed, and I must find a way to make the person thank you, otherwise it will be done in vain.”

Yes, this is the precious experience brought to him by the other person’s life experience, and Shi Yan can’t interfere.

In fact, the good thing he asked He Da to do, he really couldn’t let the client know that he was behind the instructions, because yesterday he was in the sixth uncle’s study, and the secret he turned to was more than this one.

I also found a lot of correspondence between the sixth uncle and the eldest son of the capital Guozijian, from which we learned that the eldest son who made the sixth uncle most proud was also dishonest.

Several of the letters say this: “The Zhao family relied on the power of her mother’s family, one was unwilling to honor her parents-in-law at home, and the other was unwilling to serve her father-in-law in person.

Zhao shi controls the central feeder with one hand, and his son is outside all year round.

Every day where she went, who she met, and what she was for, she would repeat everything at home. If there was a discrepancy with what she knew, it would be an inexplicable quarrel.

The Zhao family is very jealous. They have been married for three years. They can’t have children, and they are not allowed to take concubines. They continue the incense of my Miao family. “

“My father knows that the reputation of the son’s fear has been passed from the government city to the ears of the classmates in the Guozijian in the capital, and it once became a joke among the classmates. The son is not filial, and he has lost the people of my Miao family ancestors!”

“Father, Aunt Ouyang sent a letter today saying that she is pregnant again, most likely a male child, and the father-in-law attaches great importance to it, but the inner house of the father-in-law’s house is probably not peaceful, and Aunt Ouyang wants the daughter Zhao to be Go back to Fucheng to take care of the baby in person.

The son has already promised that the Zhao family will return to the palace in a few days, and he will not be able to return to the capital within a year and a half.

My son is now in his thirties, and his knees are empty, so I am not panicking. I want to take this opportunity to set up an outer room in the capital to spread the branches and leaves for my Miao family, and extend my descendants, but I am suddenly tight…”

“Father, Mrs Xi gave birth to a unicorn child for my Miao family on the thirteenth of this month, weighing six pounds and three taels!”

“Father, the letter has been received. Aunt Ouyang hurt her body because of her childbirth, and the son will definitely seek opportunities to persuade Zhao’s family. It is not necessary to leave for Beijing as soon as possible.

The family must do enough for the Zhao family, come and go often, care a lot, remember to remember. “

“Father, Mrs. Xi is really a hero of my Miao family! She gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix for me on the 26th of this month. It has a very good meaning. I specially ask my father to name my grandson!

In addition, I can’t let my own child live without a name. The matter of carrying the Xi family into the door should be put on the agenda. Perhaps the matter of the plaque can be used. “

That is to say, there was indeed something tricky in the verdict about the plaque that year, and the Miao family had seized the handle. Boss Miao was going to use that handle to threaten the verdict and let him agree to recognize several children.

But with a single sentence, can a fifth-rank official in the imperial court, a second-in-command in the state, be threatened by your little Guozijian student?

Thinking of not having to do Shi Yan, when Boss Miao couldn’t wait, it was the moment when his family committed suicide.

But doesn’t Shi Yan know now? He had to do good deeds without leaving his name, and let Mrs. Miao, Mrs. Miao, who was still in the city and knew nothing of the Miao family’s secret plans, know a little bit in advance.

Thinking about it, with Zhao Tongjuan working behind his back, the patriarch must be able to get there unimpeded.

After doing all this, Shi Yan packed up his bags and went back to Bai’an County.

Before leaving, he left Yang Hegao two hundred taels of silver: “Remember why I promised to help you back then?”

Yang Hegao nodded after hesitation.

“I said that after experiencing the most powerless and helpless things in the world, you didn’t go down the wrong path, and you still want to rely on a fair and just method to let those people get the punishment they deserved.

You are a very tough person, and you have your own rules and reasons in your heart. I admire people like you very much. “

Shi Yan looked at the boy who was still skinny, as if he would collapse when the wind blew, but his eyes were very firm, and reached out and rubbed his head: “In the future, the sixth uncle’s family will not let Yao Shi go, you Just watch and don’t do anything extra.

Keep the money, and when this is over, take your mother to a place where no one knows you and start over. It’s okay to continue studying, or you can do some small business to make a living. You have a plan in your heart.

This is the identity document that I have entrusted to you, and keep it carefully. “

Shi Yan turned around and walked freely, leaving Yang Hegao to stare at his back for a long time. In the early morning, he heard Liu Shi, who was talking and moving in the courtyard. After Shi Yan left, he slowly walked out of the courtyard and stood there. The son looked at Shi Yan’s back, and the two of them didn’t know what they were thinking.

After a long while, Mrs Liu spoke first and forced a smile: “There are still many good people in this world, He Gao, don’t you think?”

Yang He murmured: “Yeah, but you don’t need too many bad guys. If you meet one, you will ruin your life.”

Liu Shi was speechless.

After a while, the sun gradually rose, and Liu Shi said again: “Engong is right, let’s leave here when things happen here.

He Gao, where do you want to go? Think first.

As for the benefactor, we have nothing at present, and we can’t say anything else, and we will find a way to repay in the future. “

When Shi Yan did this, he didn’t think about anyone’s return. This was not a few days after going back, but just in time for the Qingming Festival, the big day to sweep the graves of the deceased. After doing these things, he went to the graves of Miao Fenghua and his father-in-law, Master Miao. Before, he might as well have an explanation with others.

Shi Yan brought his two children and Mrs. Miao, driving an ox cart. The cart was filled with melons, fruits, snacks, drinks, and a wreath of yellow money and white flags. I hope the father and daughter can live a prosperous and healthy life underground. No worries about food and clothing.

The cemetery of the two is near a village at the foot of the temple hill in the suburbs. Originally, this area did not belong to the Miao family. Later, when Shi Yan became rich, he carefully surveyed the terrain. Although this place is not an excellent geomantic treasure, it is not What’s wrong, just buy it.

It is the ancestral tomb of the Miao family.

There are villages and homes nearby, and the fireworks are full of fireworks. They are buried here, and they are not afraid of loneliness.

When he got to the front, he took care of everything in person, and the two children walked around Shi Yan affectionately, already forgetting the sadness of the sudden loss of their mother and grandfather, only that the weather was fine and it was a good time to put the paper kite, and asked Shi Yan: “Dad, where are we going to put the paper kites later?”

As soon as he turned his head, he heard Mrs. Miao nagging in front of Mr. Miao’s tombstone: “The enemy who killed a thousand knives left a message before his death, saying that he would not enter the Miao family’s ancestral tomb if he died, and it was very dirty.

At that time, Fenghua and I both felt that you were fascinated, people were already confused, and they had to handle the funeral according to your last words.

Who would have told you to tell me, that Miao’s house is really dirty, and the lawsuit has been very lively recently. It spread from Shangwu County to Bai’an County, and the county magistrate couldn’t sit still. Miaojia Village ran, I don’t know how many people watched the fun! “

Shi Yan paused for a moment and said, “Does the old man not want to enter the ancestral grave? That’s not right! At first, the sixth uncle’s family was completely offended, but later the sixth uncle’s family was dominant, and even the patriarch avoided his edge.

He is not afraid of being buried there, and someone will dance on his grave at night?

When did the cemetery here begin to be searched? It was three years ago that the son of the sixth uncle entered the Imperial College, and the grandson went to Fucheng as an official, which is enough to explain a lot of problems! “

There is no need to explain this to the old lady. He stood in front of Miao Fenghua’s grave, laid out a glass of sake, and told the follow-up that the old lady did not explain clearly.

“Shangwu County’s parents and officials, Lei Ting, took less than ten days to deal with everything clearly. In this morning’s news, second Miao and Yao Shi were biting each other, shaking off the original design and plot of our family’s property.

Unwilling to do so, Yao Shi also found out that the sixth uncle used the convenience of his eldest son’s status to suppress the clan, especially the clan leader, and secretly exchanged the court’s award documents for the state and Miao Village.

The patriarch and the sixth uncle revealed to each other, and threw away the people of Miaojia Village. They became the laughing stock of the nearby counties for a while, and no one got any good.

Rest in peace. “

After listening to this, Mrs. Miao offered a glass of wine to the old man, and said bitterly, “If it wasn’t for the wise parents and officials, how many people would have been harmed by such pickled people!

And the girl who passed the sentence of the adult family is also unlucky, fortunately, she did not have any children from the Miao family…”

The corners of Shi Yan’s mouth twitched. The matter here has become more complicated. It is incredible that the Miao family boss used his identity to quietly replace the court award document before Zhizhou and Tongju saw it.

If Zhizhou was innocent, it would be more credible, because this matter did nothing to him, but he could be convicted of being pure and flawless in it, and he was deceived by his son-in-law, that was a liar.

The general sentence is not to do this for the family of a concubine son-in-law, but also his aunt Ouyang, who is very fond of him, and the daughter born by the aunt! Who can be sure that these two will not do it boldly?

The county magistrate can cut through the mess with a quick knife, but it is really unreasonable that there is no sentencing signal behind him.

That’s it, it’s a long time coming.
