[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren turned his head and glanced at Fourth Master again. This one also had a calm face, and had no intention of introducing his real identity at all.Presumably genetic?Kangxi likes private visits in micro-services, fourth master and thirteenth master also like to conceal their identities, he remembers that Qianlong in history seemed to like to pretend to be a commoner and wander around...

Ha ha, forget it, let's not tear it apart.Wang Ren didn't bother to care about Huang Si and Huang Shisan's strange titles, and continued to talk to Li Wei.These two masters are also quite at ease, drinking tea and watching them talk is quite enjoyable.

Wang Ren: Why do you feel a little uncomfortable?Are they watching a play?

Wang Ren: Why do you feel a little uncomfortable?Are they watching a play?

"You said you came to question Master Wang Enxing?" Li Wei said with suspicion still on his face.

Wang Ren: ...

This damn name really looks like his brother, hehe.

"That's right." Wang Ren said, "I've never met any cousins. To tell the truth, I was the only son of the Wang family within three servings. Some time ago, I recognized a younger brother from a side branch, and I also dug up the family tree. Going up to the fifth generation, I found a side branch that was separated a long time ago." Further up is the fifth generation, which is not a family.

To put it simply, I don't know the relative who was separated in a previous life, and they have not seen each other for a long time. It is just that they used to be, or may be, a family, so they used his name to do evil.

Li Weidao: "You can tell at a glance whether it is true or not. Since you said that you are going to ask about the crime of that person, do you dare to go and talk to him face to face with me?"

"I can't ask for it." Wang Ren turned his head and said to Fourth Master and Thirteen, "Fourth Master, Thirteen, do you want to go together?"

Fourth Master and Shisanyi held a cup of tea and nodded in agreement.

The actions are synchronized.

Sure enough, he was watching a play leisurely.

Li Wei left the tea money, took a few people out, turned left, and walked into the downtown area.

"That person lives in West Street." Li Wei said, "He's an out-and-out ruffian. But the family has some spare money and donated a small official, so he acts like a domineering."

Wang Ren nodded, and the group turned a few turns. Before reaching the West Street Li Wei mentioned, they met a young man looking at a stall next to him. When he turned around, he bumped into Shisan. San ignored him, and the man refused to let go, and stepped forward to grab Shisan's clothes and demand an apology and money.

As soon as Li Wei turned around, he met the young man's eyes and said, "It's him."

"Tsk, who are you!" Wang En said angrily to Shisan, before he could continue speaking, he heard Li Wei's voice, and turned to look at him with a look of shock and anger, with a trace of fear in his eyes: " Li Wei! Why is it you again!"

"You don't want to see me so much?" Li Wei said, "Wang En, your skin has been itchy for the past few days, right? Do you remember the time I beat you up last time?" Wang En was taken aback and turned his head to run away, but As soon as he turned around, he saw so many people pointing and watching around him. He didn't want to run away in front of everyone, but he mustered up his courage and said, "Li Wei, don't think that I didn't settle accounts with you last time because you were afraid." It’s you! Let me tell you! That’s because I don’t have time to talk to you recently, Mr.! A lot of money, just wait for me! Soon my employment diploma will come down, and I may not know who will be called who by then!"

"Whether it will be your turn at that time is not certain." Li Wei said.

The system of donating officials was a very common promotion system in the Qing Dynasty, in order to supplement the insufficient money in the treasury.There are no restrictions on those who buy officials when donating officials.Not to mention landlords and merchants, even hooligans and thieves are no exception.According to the donation system, scholars and civilians could not only donate officials, but also donate seals, false titles, and wear official uniforms.Naturally, if there are no restrictions, it means that more people will buy official positions, but there is a certain amount of official positions. After all, having official positions means that a salary needs to be paid. If there are more official positions of the same level, the annual expenditure There will be more silver.But even so, selling officials was a profitable business for the treasury of the Qing Dynasty.For example, it takes 4600 taels of silver to buy a small official equivalent to the seventh grade of magistrate, but the salary of his rank is only 60 taels of silver per year.

Although it is ridiculously expensive, there will never be a shortage of rich people in this world, and the number of rich people will definitely be more than the number of vacancies.Therefore, if you buy an official, you may not be able to become an official immediately. You need to wait for a period of time, or a long period of time.During this period of time, this group of people is like an official candidate, waiting indefinitely for the opportunity to become an official.Fortunately, such things were not very serious during the Kangxi period.The really serious period was in the late Qing Dynasty, when thousands of official buyers were waiting for dozens of vacancies, and it is very likely that they would not be able to fill them in their lifetime.

When Li Wei bought an official, he spent a lot of money, and secondly, he was lucky.It just so happened that there was a vacancy in the Ministry of War, so he could fill it in time.And such lucky things rarely happen in succession, so even if Wang En bought an official whose rank was no lower than his, it would take at least several months, or even a year, to fill the gap.

Therefore, Li Wei was not threatened by Wang En at all, but his provoked hands were itchy even more, and he didn't care that there was a 'Wang En's cousin' Wang Ren standing next to him, and he was about to beat him up.

"You! You dare to beat me again this time! I will really go to my cousin in the south to sue you!" Wang En shouted again: "I can tell you! My cousin is Wang Ren, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple !"

Siye: ←←

Thirteen: ←←

Wang Ren: ...

It is difficult for him to describe his mood at this time in words.

"Complaint? You want to sue! Okay!" Li Wei pointed at Wang Ren behind him, "Look, I brought it for you, your cousin Wang Ren."

Wang En was startled, turned his head to look at Wang Ren, looked him up and down, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, Li Wei, you really think you can fool me with a few people wearing some nice clothes! Don't be ridiculous I don’t believe you can really bring Wang Ren here! That’s Wang Ren, the young minister of Dali Temple, who was bestowed by the emperor as a sage!”

Wang Ren: It was regarded as a fake.

Fourth Master: I really want to laugh.

Thirteen: Do you need to comfort him?

Li Wei also turned his head to look at Wang Ren, with the expression that you claim to be Wang Ren and solve it yourself.

Wang Ren was too lazy to play games with this young man to prove whether he was himself, so he turned his head to look at Si Ye and Thirteen, and said, "You two, do you mind lending me some help?" From a young boy, although the two masters saw that there was no one behind them, they were the princes after all, and the guards with knives definitely followed quietly to protect them.If something really happened, a few lives would not be enough to pay.

"Needless to borrow." Thirteen said, "If you want to employ someone, just ask."

The fourth master opened his mouth and was cut off by his disappointing younger brother before he could say anything. He felt very depressed, and said: "After all, it's because of their different identities, so it's better to explain clearly."

Thirteen glanced at fourth brother, who glared at him.

Wang Ren turned his head to ignore the two brothers, shouted, and the two guards with swords who had overheard everything rushed out immediately, bowing their hands in salute.

"Arrest him." Wang Ren pointed to Wang En, who was dumbfounded when he saw the two guards with knives, and said, "Send him to Dali Temple."

Li Wei was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is called handling personnel affairs. It seems that I misunderstood you, Brother Wang."

Wang Ren smiled, then turned his head and saw Wang En rushing to him with a broken face and crying loudly: "Cousin, I finally see you!"

Wang Ren: ...

It's all like this, it's a shame that you can continue to howl!Is it true that the most humble person is invincible?

"I don't know you." Because two guards held him back, he didn't let him pounce on Wang Ren. Wang Ren took a step back and said, "I have checked my family tree, and there has never been such a person as Wang En." .”

"This...is just a distant relationship." Wang Endao, then immediately thought of something and shouted loudly: "Cousin! Didn't you recognize a younger brother at the beginning of the year! Adopted! Your younger brother and I are cousins Ah! Your brother and I are cousins, so aren't you and I also cousins!"

It sounds reasonable, but that's not the case at all!

"My brother and I will be in the fifth service, and you and my brother will be in the third service, and they are still concubines." Wang Ren said: "My family has nothing to do with your family, this cousin really can't bear it. "And no matter how you look at it, you are several years older than me.

The children of Wufu will only record the direct lineage, and only admit that the direct lineage belongs to the range of relatives. As for the concubines, they are still the children of the sidelines who have been separated early, and they really have little relationship with their family.Especially the prosperity of the Wang family was in the generation of Grandpa Wang Ren. Now the honor of the Wang family is earned by Wang Ziteng's father during his lifetime. The poor relatives from the grandfather's side are not even close, and the concubines separated from the poor relatives have nothing to do with them. .What's more, this person in front of me is the grandson of the concubine who was assigned.

I don't know how many generations have passed, so why are you still rushing to recognize relatives?Could it be because of Wang Yi's adoption, this person discovered that his ancestors had a little relationship with the Wang family, so he started to use his name and prestige. (The truth is out.

Li Wei listened to him for a while, and finally understood the so-called relationship between the two. He couldn't laugh or cry, and looked at Wang Ren with sympathy.

"It's just that if you really want to be determined to recognize me as a cousin, it's not impossible." Wang Ren said.

The eyes of the man named Wang En lit up.

"It's just that as my cousin, you must never break the law knowingly. If you violate it, you will be punished severely." Wang Ren said: "I will investigate how many violations you have committed and how to punish them."

Wang En's face turned livid.

Ignoring Wang En's cries, Wang Ren only needs the people around him to figure out the cause of the incident, and then don't blame him.So people directly pressed Wang En to Dali Temple.When he goes back, he will investigate everything about this person and punish him according to the law.Since you dare to use his name to commit crimes, you must be prepared accordingly.

Li Wei's misunderstanding of Wang Ren was not only resolved, but his views on Wang Ren were greatly changed, and he also admired him endlessly, and he shouted very happily one by one.In addition to that... After the guard with the knife came out wearing that uniform, the identities of the two elder brothers naturally couldn't be hidden. How could the ordinary Huang Si and Huang Shisan have the ability to drive the guard with the knife.Thinking about these two pseudonyms, even Li Wei, a rough man who can't read a few big characters, immediately guessed their identities.Suddenly frightened the body stiff.You can’t blame him. If one day I tell you that the person who just had tea with you and was ignored by you in various ways is a candidate for the national leader, even in the modern age where everyone’s equality is common, he will be frightened for a while. .Not to mention Li Wei who lived in the Qing Dynasty.
