I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Because they guessed that something happened to Jiumo, the historian must have secretly invited experts to help.

After this, I'm afraid they will ask their father and son to settle the general ledger.

Panicked, the father and son discussed in secret, and decided to take the initiative to seek asylum from the government, and to file a complaint with the wicked first.

So he asked someone to write a pleading paper, suing Liancheng for having private meetings with other men under the condition of marriage contract with the Wang family. This marriage of the Wang family is like this.

After the county magistrate received the case, it can be said that he was devastated.

After all, the resurrection from the dead itself is difficult to explain.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Yuanwai and his son grasped this point, insisting that the resurrection of Liancheng and Dong Sheng was purely a lie to confuse the public, in order to cover up the personal relationship between the two and win the sympathy of the common people.

Indeed, many people in the city sympathized with and supported the romantic relationship between the two.

In order to win this lawsuit, Wang Yuanwai spared no expense to buy the county magistrate so that he can resolve the case as soon as possible, but the county magistrate dare not accept this hot money.

First of all, the historian had a high reputation in Linhe County, and Shi Yuzhu was also a great person, so it was not so easy to suppress.Secondly, this strange case has caused a lot of trouble in the city, how dare the county magistrate follow the wishes of Wang Yuanwai and his son?

When he was in a dilemma, Shi Yuzhu came to visit the county government in person, and at the same time brought a young man to visit with him.

As soon as they met, Shi Yuzhu greeted each other with the county magistrate, and then pointed to Gu Ming and introduced: "Master Zhang, this is Gu Jieyuan handpicked by the emperor today."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Gu Jieyuan is here in person, and I'm not far away to welcome you, but not far away!"

Although Xie Yuan is only for fame and not an official, but with the word "hand-picked", his background should not be underestimated.

When Gu Ming returned to his hometown in fine clothes, even the prefect of Jinhua had to visit Guobei County in person, how could a small county magistrate dare to neglect him?

"Master Zhang, don't be too polite!"

Gu Ming bowed his hands back.

"Both, please take your seat, come here, hurry up and make tea!"

After sitting down and chatting for a few words, County Magistrate Zhang knew it well, and took the initiative to bring up the matter of Wang Yuanwai's complaint.

"Master Shi, it's not that I'm holding on to this case. It's really that Wang Yuanwai's father and son are making a fuss, and there's nothing I can do about it."

At this time, Gu Ming said calmly: "Master Zhang, let's not talk about this case for now. Does anyone in Linhe County know that Wang Yuanwai's family made their fortune by selling private salt?"

"This..." Magistrate Zhang's heart tightened.

"Although the Wang family obtained the official silver sales license later, the adults must be very clear in their hearts, how much of the salt sold by the Wang family is real official salt?

I'm afraid that less than [-]% of them are, and most of them are crude and private salt.

Because only private salt can allow him to make huge profits, you must be aware of this, right? "

Of course the magistrate Zhang knew it well.

The amount of real official salt is very small, and the price is ridiculously expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Therefore, almost all companies that have obtained the official salt license will carry a large amount of private goods, which has almost become an unspoken rule of the industry.

Since it is an unspoken rule, it means that it is difficult to see the light and cannot be brought to the table.

However, now that Gu Ming brought it up in person, County Magistrate Zhang couldn't pretend anymore.

If he wanted to say that he knew that Wang Yuanwai was selling private salt, that would be dereliction of duty, and it happened to be pinched.

So I can only bite the bullet and say: "This official is really not very clear."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if Mr. Zhang doesn't know. The old man happened to hear that the Wang family bought a batch of private salt a few days ago. It may be as much as several thousand catties. Sir, you can send someone to investigate, don't you know?"

Gu Ming also responded cooperatively: "Master Zhang must have heard about the injustice my father-in-law suffered before.

At that time, he was still a majestic county magistrate, but because of being falsely accused of selling private salt, he almost lost his position because of this.It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to and hates the private salt matter.

If it is said that Wang Yuanwai's blatant sale of private salt has reached the ears of government officials, when the government sends people down to investigate, I am afraid that you will be very passive. "

As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Zhang broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew very well in his heart that Gu Ming's words were not to remind him, but to warn him.

If someone else dared to threaten him like this, County Magistrate Zhang would probably lose his temper on the spot.

But Gu Ming's status is unusual, how could he get mad at will?

Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's hard to do well.After all, there are some things that are left undisclosed, and everyone is fine. Once there is a quarrel, there may be some irreparable big incidents.

If Gu Ming really brought this matter up to the Jinhua government office, the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously.For the sake of the future, it seems that Wang Yuanwai and his son can only be operated on

Therefore, Zhang County Magistrate immediately shouted with the air of an upright official: "I didn't expect that this royal official would be so bold that he would sell private salt in disregard of the court's laws. Come!"

"exist!"

"Go and notify Catcher Song, and say that the official ordered him to quickly take people to thoroughly investigate Wang Yuanwai's business name to see if he has hidden and sold private salt. If there is any, immediately confiscate it, seal the shop, and arrest people!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The visitor had to be ordered to leave, and hurried to inform Butou Song.

There is no suspense at all.

Wang Yuanwai and his son never expected that the county government would suddenly send people to search the store, and it was too late to remedy it.

In the end, a group of government servants found a large amount of private salt in the firm.

Not only the business name and the Wang family compound were seized, but the Wang family father and son were also imprisoned and thousands of catties of illegal salt were seized in public. This was a felony, and the father and son had no chance of surviving.

It's too late to regret!

After a lot of life and death twists and turns, Dong Sheng finally got his wish and embraced the beauty.

The romance between life and death between the two is also a good story in Linjiang and Guobei counties.

Afterwards, a period of relative calm ensued.

Guobei County and its surroundings used to be haunted by bandits, demons, and ghosts, but since Gu Ming came to sit in town, such incidents have almost disappeared.

Even if there was, Gu Ming snuffed it out in time.

Why not do it to keep one party safe and earn points at the same time?

This time Gu Ming finally started accumulating points, and was going to wait until the level was raised again to use it to improve the skill level.

After all, eloquence and brilliant writing are two major skills, and it is necessary to keep up with the character level in time.

However, he still spent 50 points to buy a copy of Jin Ping Mei from the mall as a backup.

This book was famous in the previous life, and was praised by the world as the first of the four great books.

The other three of the four great books are three of the four classic classics: Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It is a pity that, due to reasons known to everyone, this strange book has suffered ill-fated fate and has been banned several times since its publication.

But no matter what, it is still impossible to deny its high artistic achievement and its profound influence on later studies.

Lu Xun once said: "Jin Ping Mei is the most famous in the love books of the world. The author's love for the world is very insightful. Everything described is either smooth, or twists and turns, or exposed and full of appearance, or secluded and sarcasm. Or write both sides at the same time to make them contrast, and the changing emotions can be seen at any time, and they can be said at the same time, there is no more than that.”

It is no exaggeration to say that there would be no Dream of Red Mansions without the wonderful book Jinmei Ping.

Because Mr. Cao was deeply influenced by The Golden Plum Vase and The Romance of the West Chamber when he created Dream of Red Mansions, and there are many references for his themes and lines.

After careful study, Jin Ping Mei also borrowed from Water Margin.

The title of the book is composed of three heroines in the book, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er, and Pang Chunmei.

In the words of Gu Ming's previous life, it's called Tongren.

However, the achievement of this fan is so high that countless people can't match it.

So such a strange book, what reason does Gu Ming not collect one?

After that, in addition to insisting on doing daily tasks and continuing to write the third volume of A Dream of Red Mansions, Gu Ming also wrote more than a hundred poems, including all the poems he had recited and written before.

Each poem is accompanied by an illustration.

This time, all the illustrations are carefully drawn by him, trying to match the realm of each poem.

After the completion, he personally handed it over to Liu Fangzhu for typesetting and printing, with a printing volume of [-] copies.

Gu Ming did not intend to sell this collection of poems, but to give it away as a way of giving back.

After printing, each collection of poems was signed and stamped, and more than [-] copies were donated in Guobei County, mainly to relatives and friends, as well as local celebrities and regular customers.

Afterwards, Gu Ming specially sent people to Yuhang Mansion and Gusu Mansion to give away dozens of volumes. Of course, the recipients are all friends or acquaintances who have had contacts.Such as Ma Yun, Tang Bohu, Li Qingwan and so on.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and copying became popular for a while.

Some booksellers at street stalls were also moved after hearing the news, racking their brains to find the original excerpts and pirated copies.

In this way, Gu Ming's poems and works spread all over the streets and alleys, and even the girls in the yard followed suit, copying and singing.

For Gu Ming, this is also a good thing.

The bigger his name, the higher his reputation.

The higher the reputation, the more conducive to the accumulation of luck.

To put it bluntly, this is the same reason that Taoism and Buddhism compete for believers.

In the final analysis, we still have to compete for the luck of the world, otherwise we will be eliminated.

In fact, Gu Ming has already tasted the sweetness of luck.

As his fame grew, the sales of several books he wrote were also increasing, and the good news continued.

There are even people who go crazy.

According to Ma Yun's letter, at present, there are many scholars by the West Lake, who call themselves Xu Xian.

When I had nothing to do, I went to the side of the broken bridge to look forward to it, and when I saw a young and beautiful woman in a white dress, I posted it cheekily.

The government has received many reports, and has successively arrested seven or eight men who called themselves Xu Xian for the crime of harassing women from good families

Chapter 172 A Laugh in the Sea, Waves on Both Sides of the Strait

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

Before you know it, winter goes to spring and everything comes back to life.

This also means that Chun Wei is not far away.

After each rural examination, the imperial court will hold a general examination and a palace examination in the capital in March of the following year.

The general examination, also known as Chunwei, takes candidates who have passed the provincial examination.

The list issued in the examination is called "Xing Bang", those who pass the test are called Gongshi, and No.1 is called "Huiyuan".

All Gongshi can participate in the palace examination in April of the same year. At that time, the current emperor will host and write the questions, and hand-picked the top ten.

The admission list is usually called the gold list.

The gold list is divided into three tops, one top three, No.1, champion, No.2, second place, No.3, Tanhua, awarded the title of "Jinshi Jishi".

Second-class and top-three are awarded the titles of "Born as a Jinshi" and "Born as a Jinshi" respectively.

It is certainly a matter of honor to be on the gold list.

However, it doesn't matter even if you don't hit the top ten, because the palace examination is just to set a ranking, and all the tributes who participate in the palace examination can be promoted to Jinshi without special circumstances.

Jinshi is the highest honor in the imperial examination, and they are all elite talents who have been selected by the imperial court.

Therefore, the vast majority of Jinshi can successfully enter the official career, such as staying in Beijing as an official, or being sent to a county magistrate or something.

Even if he hadn't been an official, returning to his hometown would still be a glorious scene, and the status of a celebrity was much higher than Juren's.

"Uncle, this time Miss Jingcheng and Yu'er are not by your side, you must take care of yourself, drink less alcohol, and pay attention to rest more"

In the small courtyard, while combing and pulling Gu Ming's hair, Yu'er babbled and instructed him like a little daughter-in-law.

Gu Ming responded with a wry smile: "I know, how many times do you have to repeat it, girl? My ears are almost numb."

"Isn't it for my uncle?" Yu'er pursed her mouth and muttered, "If my uncle is the number one student in high school, it will be so majestic!

Just like in the play, riding a tall horse, escorted by a group of officers and soldiers, beating gongs and drums as they walked."

When she said this, Yu'er looked longingly, and little stars began to appear in her eyes again.

Ying Ning lay on Gu Ming's lap, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

"Yu'er, it's been a long time and you still haven't finished combing?"

Nie Xiaoqian came out with a package embroidered by herself.
