Tai Jia

He Xihua finally sentenced Zhang Yuancheng and others to beheaded in autumn, and reported to the Ministry of Punishment. Before he reached the back office, he saw Mr. Chen coming up to him with ashamed face, "My lord, it's not good."

He Xihua paused, "But Huang Yu?"

Master Chen nodded with difficulty, "Although cloth strips were stuffed and hands were tied, none of the jailers could stop him and committed suicide."

"Where's Sun Xiong? What was he doing at that time?" He Xihua frowned, it stands to reason that Sun Xiong would not have made such a mistake.

Master Chen said in embarrassment: "Xiancheng Huang had already taken poison before, and when he was being escorted, he suddenly bled from his orifices, and it was too late to call Langzhong. Fortunately, Sun Xiucai was alert, and had someone seal his house before his family set it on fire. So I searched all his letters and account books, presumably it will not affect the solution of the case."

"Alright." He Xihua felt unspeakably tired, "You should go back and rest too."

Director Chen only said yes, and just as he was about to step down, He Xihua said softly, "The Yin Jian is not far away, so we should take it as a warning."

Master Chen was covered in cold sweat, he turned around and gave He Xihua a deep bow, and Fang retreated in disorderly steps.

When He Xihua found Sun Xiong, he was sorting out those letters and books in his study, with a cold expression on his face.

"Is there someone behind?" He Xihua said calmly.

Sun Xiong handed him the letter, "Can my lord read this handwriting?"

He Xihua took a look, nodded slowly, "Don't drive in Sizhou."

"This is the official administration of my Xuanqi Dynasty." Sun Xiong said in a muffled voice, "Next step, my lord, are you going to bypass Sizhou and report directly to the court, or are you planning to report to the court level by level?"

What he meant was that he was worried that the governor of Sizhou was colluding with Huang Xiancheng and others.

He Xihua pondered for a moment, "I will directly write a letter to Huainan Road to dismiss the envoy, and ask him to report to the imperial court."

Deposition envoys sometimes disappear, and if there are, they change every year, and the station is not in Sizhou, so the possibility of collusion with them is extremely small.

"By the way." Seeing his gloomy expression, He Xihua intentionally changed the topic, "Do you know how we found you?"

"Isn't it Zhou Jianchang and the others?"

He Xihua shook his head, "No, when they escaped, I was not near the main force of the yamen servants. It was your horse that ran out suddenly and kept neighing, and then led the way, so we were able to find you, so as not to make a big mistake."

At this time, Sun Xiong belatedly remembered that he had ridden a horse and left it at the inn for a long time without thinking of getting up to look for it. He felt extremely guilty for a while, "It was thinking about saving Me, I forgot about it, so looking at it, it is far inferior to it."

"You go and see it later, treat it better in the future, horses are the most humane." He Xihua asked Mozu to raise horses, and mentioned the horse with a gentle face.

Sun Xiong nodded in agreement, and decided to visit Meng Jing when he turned around, feed him some high-quality horse feed, and took out a draft report, "The student thought about the matter of the nursing home, and took it rough. A charter has come out, please read it, my lord."

He Xihua opened it and saw that there were as many as seven or eight pages, including imitating the management of soldiers and numbering the actual number of people in the nursing home. The book should include age, appearance, why disabled and lonely, origin, etc. Top up supplements, new receipts, etc. must also be entered in a timely manner; rations, cloth, etc. distributed to the poor, old and weak every year and every month must also be recorded and registered.The most important thing is that Sun Xiong proposed to ask Shangguan to send irrelevant officials to come to check regularly. The house is in good condition, the poor is in the hospital, and there is no impersonation.

"Very good, you have benefited a lot from going to Taiping Town this time." He Xihua patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, as if he was his own son.

Sun Xiong resigned modestly, "The students just learned something from the Nursing Home. If the adults go there, they will be able to make a perfect draft. The students have not finished writing, please correct the adults."

He Xihua thought for a while, and added a pen on the side: Some people abuse, officials ignore it, demote to a higher level, officials connive, dismissed; Sixty rods; Shangguan sheltered and punished equally.

Sun Xiong watched from the side, thinking that he had thought quite comprehensively, but compared to He Xihua, he was still a little lacking.

Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, He Xihua comforted him: "You have been in the county government office for several months, and it is not easy to think so thoroughly. If you have been a parent officer for two or three years like me, you will have thought of these things. "

Sun Xiong nodded, and deliberated with He Xihua several times. After he felt that there was nothing wrong, He Xihua copied it neatly into a letter. Together with the cause and effect of this major case, he ordered someone to report it to the court immediately.

Everything was settled, but He Xihua's face was not happy. Sun Xiong knew that he was not worried about his own future, but was probably still blaming himself, so he said: "Before my lord knew about Linhuai County, these beasts had already planned and started this My lord is always busy with everything, but I never realized that what happened in a small town is justifiable, so I don’t need to blame myself too much.”

"I was negligent." He Xihua said in a low voice, "If you hadn't noticed something strange, how many other old people would have died at the hands of these people. Since I am the county magistrate, I should be responsible to all the people in this county. In the same way, since I am the magistrate of a county, the faults of all the officials under my command are all due to my dereliction of duty and oversight."

Sun Xiong interrupted him, "According to what my lord said, the credit of everyone in this county should also be attributed to my lord. My lord has only been in Linhuai County for just three years, and the grain has been abundant, the people have no hunger, and the culture and education have flourished." , isn’t it the merit of an adult?”

He Xihua's expression was still a little gloomy, Sun Xiong laughed at himself, "A person like me who has achieved nothing will not indulge in past mistakes every day. Instead of wasting the limited time on self-pity, you might as well work hard to make a living for Linhuai." People need to do something real.”

He Xihua pondered silently for a moment, then turned around and saluted him, "It was a waste of me to study poetry and books since I was a child, but I couldn't even understand these simple truths. I just realized today what it means to listen to what you say, and to read better." Decade Book'."

"Your Excellency, you're pissing me off!" Sun Xiong hurriedly avoided his salute.

He Xihua grabbed his sleeve, feeling that the other party was stiff, his shoulders twitched unnaturally, and he suddenly reacted, "Is your injury healed?"

Sun Xiong endured the pain and said: "Students are not pampered young masters, they are not so delicate."

"Huh?" He Xihua raised his eyebrows, "Then who is the coquettish and pampered son?"

After finishing speaking, he lightly pressed the edge of the wound on his shoulder, and was satisfied to hear that he took a breath of air, and shook his head, "You have worked hard this time, but don't forget, the most important thing is to prepare for the test. Next The field is the provincial examination, if you pass, you will be considered as a Juren, and it was called Ju Xiaolian in the previous dynasty, you should know the weight of it."

Sun Xiong was not as repulsive as usual, but he was not very enthusiastic, so he stared at the other party's fanatical eyes full of expectations and clapped his hands: "Students will go all out."

The author has something to say: Xiaohe is keen on running remedial classes, and is very concerned about the enrollment rate of the county's university entrance exam
