Wannian County.
The county seat adjacent to Gyeonggi Province.
As the saying goes, evil is everywhere, and Guo Jingcheng is attached.
Finally, there was smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb and I passed the Jinshi exam. As a result, I was assigned to be the county magistrate of Wannian County. When I returned to my hometown, I took a closer look and found out that the ancestral tomb was on fire!
At the feet of the emperor, there are countless princes, nobles, and officials, none of whom the Wannian County order can afford to offend.
Even if you stay in the county town and do nothing, and are not greedy for money, misfortunes will still come from the sky. For example, in the case of the previous county magistrate, Marquis Weiyuan family soldiers killed the elder's book boy on horseback.
The county magistrate was in a dilemma. As a result, the elder of the court sent a letter and his Majesty sentenced the county magistrate and his family to exile!
Going back further, six county magistrates were changed in ten years, three were demoted, two were exiled, and one was beheaded.
Therefore, Wannian County being an official is a high-risk profession!
The current magistrate of Tian County is different from his predecessors. He has been able to serve as magistrate for more than a year with the help of someone in the palace. He even dares to judge cases involving Beijing officials.
Thirty miles east of Wannian County is Anhe Village, a village with more than a hundred households.
This day.
Zhou Yi spent half an hour running all the way back to the village, faster than a horse.
Standing on the hill at the entrance of the village and looking out, two lines of smoke rise. It is the landlord's family in the village who is cooking, while other farmers only eat breakfast and dinner.
"After ten years, our family is finally back!"
Zhou Yi had tears in his eyes. Even though he was not afraid of the threat of family ties, he couldn't help but be excited about seeing his parents soon.
I circulated my true energy and saw my old house according to the location in my memory.
The three adobe houses had been exposed to wind and rain, and the roofs had collapsed. The fenced yard was covered with weeds, and it was obvious that they had been uninhabited for a long time.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Yi was astonished. He sent money to his family, which was enough for food and drink even if he didn't farm.
"Did you let Eunuch Liu get greedy?"
"What should we do? That guy has already died following Eunuch Xu, and we can't seek revenge! What's more, if we don't have a reason to visit our parents, how can we do the rest..."
Zhou Yi was thinking when a man in rich clothes came over. He looked like he was from a wealthy family in the village.
"Where did it come from?"
The man shouted, "Why are you wandering around the Zhou family's ancestral house?"
Daqing's household registration system is strict. Without roads, people leaving villages and towns are refugees and criminals. The government can arrest them for mining, so there are very few outsiders coming into the village.
Zhou Yi said in a high-pitched voice, "Do you know where this family has gone?"
When the man heard the voice that was neither male nor female, his heart moved and he asked respectfully, "Are you the second eldest son of the Zhou family, Eunuch Yi?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. Hearing this, it seemed that his parents were in trouble. They must have moved somewhere else.
"Meet Eunuch Yi."
The man kowtowed three times, with his posture wide open and closed. According to the rules of the palace, he had to be dragged out and killed with a cane. "I am you Uncle Liang. Remember, I gave you a noodle cake when you were a child!"
Uncle Liang?
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and realized that something was going on, so he hurried over to help him.
"Uncle Liang Please get up quickly, our family knows how to repay the kindness, and will definitely arrange a good errand for you to repay the favor of a piece of cake!"
"Eunuch Yi I don't dare bother you, a big shot like you."
Uncle Liang Hearing Zhou Yi call himself "we", he didn't dare to say my name anymore, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhou has already repaid the favor by dividing the Sun Laocai family's land into two and giving it to me and your sister-in-law's family!"
Zhou Yi heard Sun Laocai, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Another purpose of his return home to visit relatives was revenge.
At that time, Sun Laocai was rampant in the countryside, and the family dog bit Zhou Yi frequently. Little did he know that his father had already taken revenge and robbed Sun Family of his land.
"How can our father be so capable?"
"It's not because of your reputation Eunuch Yi!"
Uncle Liang bent over and pouted, trying to imitate the flattering posture of a gentleman, but he learned it hard and said, "Last year, you became a big shot in the palace. The county magistrate came to the village in person and asked Brother Zhou to move to the county seat."
"A big house has been prepared over there, and dozens of slaves have been bought. I heard that Brother Zhou was bullied by Sun Laocai, and his whole family was arrested and put into a cell that day..."
Uncle Liang told the story vividly and with joy, "We have a good relationship with Brother Zhou. Not only did we share the land, we also became the village leader, in charge of tax collection in the village."
"As entrusted by Brother Zhou, I come to the old house when I have time to avoid thieves from destroying the feng shui!"
Zhou Yi asked, "Where in the county will the Zhou family move?"
"Chengdong, Zhou Family Estate."
Uncle Liang said, "If you go to the county town and ask around, you will know that there is a street of shops that collects rent and lives like an emperor!"
Zhou Yi's eyes were slightly cold, his true energy circulated, and his body leaped and disappeared.
Wannian County.
The east is rich and the west is poor.
Zhou Family Estate occupies more than ten acres in a wealthy area and can be called the largest luxury house.
Zhou Yi looked at the front of the door. It was at least one foot six, not far from the "Emperor's nine feet" in the grand celebration system.
There are two gilded seal characters on the plaque: Zhou Mansion!
"This is to kill the nine tribes in our family!"
Zhou Yi's complexion became more and more gloomy. The courtyard was large, but the word "mansion" was not something ordinary people could use. His rank was at least that of his ancestor's earl, and his official position was at least that of his ancestor's third-rank official.
The crime of exceeding the limit may be serious or minor.
If you don't punish the crime at ordinary times, you can kill the nine tribes at critical times!
Zhou Yi stepped forward, and as soon as he reached the door three feet away, the nurse standing at the door shouted sharply.
"Why don't you have eyesight..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuan flew out backwards, hit the door with a bang, vomited blood and fainted.
The other nursing homes were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions. They were just green-skinned idle men on the street, so how could they really visit a nursing home?
Zhou Yi pushed the door open and saw several men holding knives and sticks. They came after hearing the sound.
The leading man played a trick. Before he could ask any questions, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw that there was a hole in his heart.
"Ho ho ho..."
When the leader dies, the rest will scatter like birds and beasts.
Zhou Yi slowly walked through several thresholds and came to the back house of the compound. From a distance, he saw a group of people huddled in the main hall.
In the middle is an old man in brocade clothes, and on the left is a fat white woman sitting. Several women in gorgeous clothes next to them are looking at the people coming outside with trepidation.
After careful identification for a long time, I finally recognized that the old man and the woman were my parents.
The nostalgia and sadness in my heart had long since dissipated. Zhou Yi was so angry that he squeezed out a few tears and knelt outside the door.
"My child Zhou Yi, meet your father and mother!"
"Zhou Yi..."
Father Zhou was startled for a moment, and he carefully distinguished the gray-haired old man in the courtyard. He vaguely resembled the one in his memory, and he called out tentatively, "Er Wazi?"
"Eh."
Zhou Yi agreed softly. This was his nickname, which he hadn't heard in ten years.
"It's really Erwazi!"
Zhou's father suddenly beamed with joy, pushed aside and ran out, suddenly stopped three steps in front of Zhou Yi, and asked with a bit of fear, "Do I need to kowtow?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "We are your sons, and we should kowtow to you."
"No, no, no."
After this setback, Zhou's father no longer wanted to hug him, and quickly urged his servants at home.
"Go tell the kitchen and make a feast, make a feast!"
"Go to the county government office to inform Dalang that his brother is back..."
Zhou Family Estate There are hundreds of slaves. When they heard that the legendary Eunuch Yi was coming back, the fear in their hearts disappeared. They all walked with wind and straightened their backs when talking to others.
As for the two nursing homes where they died tragically, no one cared about them. Someone had already cleaned the ground.
You deserve to die for blocking Eunuch Yi's way!
