Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

After finishing the two things, Wen Yu calmed down, and said to the Wang family father and son who were still in a daze, "This is the last thing." He took out the things he had prepared from his arms, "This is Sanniang The title deed of the dowry shop, father-in-law and elder brother, please check to see if there is any mistake."

Master Wang turned pale in shock: "What is Yu'er doing? My Wang family is a family that wants to marry women!" Wang Yiquan also repeatedly declined, joking, Wang Sanniang still has a son. The world cursed to death.

Wen Yu immediately clarified: "I naturally know what kind of family the Wang family is. My father-in-law is kind and generous. Back then, the prefect of Huizhou was also a model of Confucian merchants like the Wang family. But I must not be able to choose a place near the capital this time. Sanniang I'm gone, I don't know anything about these merchants. I just want my father-in-law and elder brother to manage it for me this time, so I naturally don't want any of the profits. When my son reaches the crown, the father-in-law will hand it over to him directly. , and my family...my father-in-law must have understood the situation of my family..."

Master Wang was fascinated when he thought of Wen Yu's unreliable father.

Wen Yu put on a look of dilemma: "As the saying goes, a son never blames his father, but my aunt, relying on herself as the elder, disturbed the house, and the son-in-law is useless, so I can only borrow the hand of my father-in-law to help me." Keep the family business with Sanniang's children."

"It's so unreasonable!" Master Wang was furious, "A little village woman! She actually climbed onto my house! Yu'er, don't worry, that village woman has many things to do, and I just didn't settle accounts with him because of my father-in-law! Now With your words, let me deal with the rest."

Wen Yu was completely relieved now, now that everything was settled, he just had to go home and wait for the news, so he got up and said goodbye.The eldest brother of the Wang family personally escorted him to the door.

After a few days like this, officers and soldiers suddenly knocked on the door. After entering the door, without saying a word, they went to the backyard and arrested Liu Fang'er in the name of embezzling people's property.Before leaving, Liu Fang'er was still shouting: "You can't catch me! I am Mrs. Wen's mansion! My Dalang is the master of Juren! Help!"

It is estimated that these people have been dealt with before, and after they were arrested, they were more respectful to the Wen family, but even so, the Wen family was terrified.

Father Wen hurriedly came to Wen Yu: "Yu'er, what's going on? Why did these officers and soldiers take Liu Fang'er away! Will it implicate us!"

Wen Yu secretly rolled his eyes, the Wang family had sent someone to talk to him before.It turned out that Brother Liu Fang'er relied on his younger sister to be a concubine for a good family. He went around in the village saying that his younger sister had become Juren's stepmother, bullied men and women, and forcibly bought and sold several families' fields.

The peasants were honest and fearful that the local officials would protect him, so most of them chose to suffer from being dumb.

One family was forced to come to the capital to join their son, who was also an ordinary craftsman, but after all, he was at the foot of the emperor, and if he dropped a bamboo pole, he could smash a third-rank official.

Originally, the Shuntian Mansion usually didn't bother to take care of such cases, and the Wang family put in a lot of effort inside, but if it didn't go well, the Tianfu came to arrest people.

Wen Yu explained to him: "It's nothing, her family committed a crime, and she acquiesced in it. She was arrested and locked up for two days after a few beats and then released."

Father Wen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Hey, if I knew she was not a worry-free person, I shouldn't have looked at her to take pity on her in the first place, and I knew how to make trouble for my son all day long. I think she will come back this time, give her a few taels Silver send her away."

Wen Yu was a little surprised now. He thought that after all, after sharing the bed for several years, Father Wen also had some affection for Liu Fang'er. It seemed that he was naturally selfish.However, this saved Wen Yu a lot of trouble, so he agreed, "It's all up to Dad, and I will arrange someone to take care of you for Dad in a few days."

Father Wen suddenly turned from worry to joy, "I knew my son was capable, but Yu'er, you still have to study and make progress. If you don't pass the exam, your father raised you for nothing. Father these years... ..."

"I've gone to the Ministry of Officials to select officials." Wen Yu interrupted him calmly. "What did you say?!" "I said I don't want to study anymore, and I went to the Ministry of Officials to select officials."

Father Wen was stunned for a moment, then he regained his composure and burst into tears, "Oh - why is my life so hard - what crime did I do -"

Father Wen knew in his heart that if he went to select an official, he would probably choose someone like Jiaoyu County Prime Minister, who was already a high-ranking official in the hearts of the Wen family before.But in the past few years, Father Wen's heart has been fed up. He feels that he can even become the No. [-] father in the future, and become the old man respected by everyone in ten miles and eight villages.

Wen Yu's head hurt from his noise: "Shut up!" Wen Yu's expression was not good.Father Wen was frightened by his gloomy expression, and fell silent. "My roster has already been handed in, but it's you, Dad. I have already heard that the place where I will take office is likely to be in the area of ​​Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Not only is it remote, but it is also plagued by bandits. Dad, get ready, we will leave in two days."

Father Wen frowned halfway through what he said, and finally heard him say that he would take him away, rolled his eyes a few times, wondering: "Father, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you when you take office. Ah, why don't you give me some silver taels, and I'll go back to my hometown in Huizhou, since this person is old enough to miss his hometown."

As he spoke, he pretended to wipe his tears twice, "Children are debts. I went to my hometown to help you keep the family business. Don't forget to arrange a few more people for Weifu to take care of my old bones."

Wen Yu was speechless, this actor would be an underachiever in modern times.He could only nod his head and agree: "The younger siblings..."

"Of course I left with you. The elder brother is the father. They will depend on you for the rest of their lives. Just give them a bite of food to keep them from starving." Father Wen said flatteringly.

...Sure enough, you can't expect anything from him, Wen Yu's face is expressionless.However, Father Wen proposed to take Wen Yu's son with him to raise him. Of course, this proposal was rejected by Wen Yu as soon as he uttered it.I also know that Wen's father is definitely not thinking of intergenerational relatives. He probably wants to use Wang Sanniang's flesh and blood to ask the Wang family for money.

Father Wen made a few more requests intermittently, but Wen Yu rejected them all. He wanted to make a fuss, and saw that Wen Yu's face had turned back.For some reason, this eldest son seems to be a different person since he recovered from his illness, which makes people feel a sense of fear.

Wen Yu sent Father Wen away, feeling like he had solved a big problem.No way, even in modern times, children can't get rid of their strange parents, not to mention the Ming Dynasty's filial piety, he can only use the Wang family's secret arrangements, this time he finally got rid of Father Wen.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu was in a bright mood and planned to take a walk outside for a while.

"Meow~~~~" A soft meow attracted Wen Yu's attention, and he took a closer look, and it turned out to be a little white cat.

The kitten looks only two or three months old. It is fluffy and has been taken care of very well. The whole body is snow white except for the tail. Wen Yu has raised cats before, and he knows that this kind of cat has an elegant name called "" Dragging a gun in the snow", this coat color is still rare.

Wen Yu felt a little itchy in her heart, so she walked over and rubbed her lightly twice.The little meow that I licked showed its belly, and there was still a gurgling sound in its throat. Wen Yu was secretly proud, it seems that my skills are still as good.

"Baibai—where are you—" Accompanied by the sound of footsteps and calls, Wen Yu saw a child walking quickly behind him with a maid.

The child was about four or five years old, maybe a little younger, with a pink and jade-like appearance, a small round face, and two eyes as deep and black as obsidian.

At this time, he also found that Wen Yu was here, and his first reaction was to tense his body, as if he wanted to turn around and run away, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the kitten in Wen Yu's hand, frowned, and mustered up the courage to walk towards Wen Yu , "Mine," he said timidly.

Wen Yu also frowned secretly in her heart, she always had to face what had to be faced, and this was Wen Ze, the only son of the original owner and Wang Sanniang. "Brother Fu" Wen Yu called Wen Ze by his nickname, trying his best to show a pleasant expression. "Where did this cat come from?"

Wen Ze thought that his father was going to confiscate his kitten, so he kept his mouth shut, but the maid behind knew how to read words and expressions, and seeing that Wen Yu had no displeasure, she replied first: "The cat is the cub of the neighbor's mouse cat, Qian The mother-in-law saw that the young master was unhappy after the eldest lady left, so she went to the next door to ask for one."

Wen Yu looked down at the silent cheap son, and his head started to hurt again. It was the original owner who made a mistake and he wiped his ass. Wen Ze himself experienced "widowed education". Basically ignore him.

Once Wang Sanniang left, there was no one in the whole family who cared about him.He was still young, so he didn't know what death was. All he knew was that suddenly one day, his mother who accompanied him every day disappeared. He asked the sister of the maid beside him, but the sister just looked at him with pity, but couldn't say anything.From then on, he talked less and less, and only played with the cat for a while every day, and then he was in a daze by himself.

After understanding the situation, Wen Yu lamented that it was a good thing that he discovered it early. He has low interest in dating at such a young age.Forget it, he still has to take care of who made him unlucky enough to end up in this family.

Wen Yu gently placed the cat in Wen Ze's arms, and squatted down as far as possible to keep Wen Ze's eye level "This cat is so small, it's still a baby. If you want to raise it, there are many things you need to pay attention to. Let Daddy teach you, let's do it together." Raise it well."

Wen Ze looked at the cat in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly with admiration for his father.Wen Yu smiled at him, turned around and asked Wen Ze's personal maid, Xiang Ling, about Wen Ze's daily life.

Xiang Ling is sharp, quick-witted, and considerate. Wang Sanniang has always been at ease arranging him to take care of her son.She reported to Wen Yu in detail, even explaining that Wen Ze was a picky eater and preferred only custard.Wen Ze was a little guilty. He knew he couldn't just eat custard, but the dishes were really bitter.Wen Yu smiled at him, "From now on, the young master will eat with me, and Daddy will accompany you to eat, okay?" Wen Ze had never seen such a gentle father, so he couldn't help being a little happy, and nodded quickly.

Wen Yu gave some more orders, and let Wen Ze go back when he felt that there was nothing to do.

So after a few days, Wen Yu went to accompany his son whenever he had time, and Wen had someone to accompany him. Although he still seldom talked now, he was finally not as lifeless as before.

At this time, the Ministry of Officials finally got news and appointed him to be the county magistrate in Mengyang County, Chengdu Prefecture.

Wen Yu was a little surprised. He originally thought that he could be a teacher or a county magistrate, but he didn't expect to be given a seventh-rank official position.After inquiring carefully, I found out that the county magistrate of Mengyang County did a lot of evil, and was beaten to death by some poor people below.

The killing of officials by the people is a major event. After some discussion among several elders in the cabinet, they decided to reassign a county magistrate to the small county of Mengyang County, add a master register, and add an inspection department to appease the people and strengthen law and order.

At the same time, he also issued an order to Wen Yu, a newly appointed official, to cooperate with the suppression of the bandits, but there was no deadline. Wen Yu estimated that the court also knew that it was not easy to suppress the bandits. , I can do my job well.
