Chapter 305 Jishan County Bo
Tang Qingshan got up quickly, and the family, together with the old man Yuan, quickly got into the carriage and rushed back to the village.
Before the imperial envoy arrived, several people hurriedly changed their clothes and prepared the incense table and red envelope.
This side was just getting ready when the imperial envoy arrived.
The Tang family immediately set up an incense table to receive the order.
The imperial decree praised him greatly, and even said that "all living beings are ignorant and virtuous, just like the good and the bad in the five grains". This is the matter of Tang Sanshui. different.
In this way, the imperial decree will be written and the coffin will be finalized. In the future, no one will dare to talk about Tang Sanshui again.
In the end, Tang Qingshan was granted the title of Jishan county uncle, and five hundred acres of Yongye farmland was granted.
It may be because the timing of the offering is too suitable, or it may be because of Yan Shenjue's letter that Emperor Ming Pei has a high opinion of him. Anyway, this reward is really not small. Even the old man Yuan was a little surprised, and the old patriarch was even more happy There is nothing wrong with it, and the villagers are almost dumbfounded.
After announcing this one, the imperial envoy came out with another decree and announced it to the old man.
Because the old man reported meritorious service, Jing Xingbo was renamed Jing Xinghou, and he was given two thousand taels of gold, and a pair of xun and chi hands made of gold inlaid with jade.
Xun and Chi are two musical instruments. Bo Xun and Zhong Chi are used to express the good relationship between brothers. This is the support of Emperor Ming Pei for the old man, which means that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is still very good.
At the same time, Liang Ruoxu was also rewarded with some property.
After announcing the decree, the Tang family welcomed the imperial envoy in, and there was a bang outside, and the sound of discussion sounded like a blowout.
One by one, their eyes turned green with envy!
Dayan’s titles are slightly different from those of the previous dynasty. For example, "king" includes prince and county king, and the prince and county king are each divided into one word for prince and two words for prince, and one word for county king and two words for county king. The prince is respected to the county king, and one character is respected to two characters.
Then "public" is divided into national public and county public, which are also divided into one word and two characters.
All of these have food towns and hereditary Yongye fields.
But further down, "Hou" is divided into Hou and County Hou; "Bo" is also divided into Bo and County Bo. The same goes for viscounts and barons.
The former has Shiyi and Yongyetian, while the latter has no Shiyi, and Yongyetian is halved.
Shiyi means to enjoy the rent and tax of these families; Yongyetian is also called Shiyetian, which can be passed on to future generations and can be hereditary. It is equivalent to private land and is different from ordinary mouth-sharing land.
For example, Yuan Yuan’s original title of "bo" was 700 households in Shiyi and 1,000 mu of permanent land. When it came to Tang Qingshan, the county uncle had only 500 mu of permanent land.
So, even if the old man is not sealed, both of them are considered "uncles", and they are not of the same rank as the villagers think.
But it doesn't matter, five hundred acres of Yongye land and a county earl, this is already a surprise! A real surprise!
This is the real class leap!
It's nothing to be in front of real nobles, but in small counties and small towns, it's enough to walk sideways.
Probably because the old man Yuan and Yan Shenjue were both there, the **** Xuanzhi had a very modest attitude. He came in and had a cup of tea, received the red envelope, got into the carriage and left.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the county office, the master came over in a hurry: "My lord! My lord! It's not good!" He looked at the imperial envoy, not knowing whether to say something or not.
Liang Ruoxu secretly scolded the master for being stupid, and directly shouted: "Don't say it!"
Master said: "Those people are all dead! They all committed suicide!"
"What!" Liang Ruoxu was stunned, and after a while he asked, "Where's Tang Erhe?"
The master said: "Tang Erhe is not there, but Tang Erhe and his daughter are still alive."
Liang Ruoxu said: "When did it happen?"
Master said: "I didn't realize it until lunch time, it should be less than two hours!"
Liang Ruoxu urgently dispatched an officer to investigate the cause of death, and at the same time said to the eunuch: "I will also report this matter to the emperor..."
He directly compared his hands: "Since Eunuch Gao just happened to meet him, why not go and see this matter with your own eyes. If the emperor asks about it in the future, Eunuch Gao will be able to report back."
The eunuch's name was Gao Fu, and he was also a person before the emperor. He hesitated for a moment, and then went.
After all, although they seem to be nosy on the surface, in fact, they want to listen to all directions. If Liang Ruoxu will report this matter to the emperor, and he happens to be the right person, then of course he should report to the emperor first. It is appropriate to report.
So he had to see clearly.
He went.
Those people were indeed dead, and they were dragged out of the prison one by one. The blood from their mouths and noses was all black, obviously they had taken poison.
Liang Ruoxu murmured, "Here, are these all dead men?"
He said directly: "Call other people out and ask!"
Of course, there were other prisoners in the prison. After questioning, more than one person said: "When the value was changed in the morning, there was a bird calling outside. It sounded very close. They began to walk around, whispering to each other, and some people were swearing. Later, the person in the cell said, "Death early, reincarnation early!" Then he leaned back, as if he was dead, and then everyone else, one by one. fell down."
"In the end it was the woman who kept crying, kept crying, said she didn't want to, said she couldn't be reconciled, and scolded Tang Erhe for a long time, then told him to go over, Tang Erhe didn't go over, and didn't say a word. Just leaned against the railing and didn't move anymore."
Liang Ruoxu said slowly: "It seems that there are still fish that slipped through the net outside! What kind of code is this! These people... have a lot of background, no wonder they are so tight-lipped during the interrogation that they can't ask anything. !"
Gao Fu didn't say a word, his sharp eyes looked around.
He felt that this was not displayed for him to see, but that the matter had indeed just happened, but Liang Ruoxu wanted to tell Emperor Ming Pei through him, so he asked him to come and see for himself.
These people... To him, they look like shadow guards!
It is not common for officials outside to see shadow guards, and it may not be easy to tell them apart, but they are common from time to time. Although these people are not wearing black clothes, but ordinary clothes, they give people the feeling that they are shadow guards. guard!
But Gao Fu didn't speak, watching these people inspecting, these people have poison in their teeth, so even if they are completely weak at the moment, they can kill themselves. This style is also like that of a shadow guard!
The two didn't leave the prison until Wu Zuo went over these people. Liang Ruoxu smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Gao, let's go eat first!"
Gao Fu said: "Master Liang, you are welcome."
The two of them had dinner together, and they didn't mention this matter again. Gao Fu left Longmen County early the next morning.
