Changzhi's long silence made Gu Sheng feel a little nervous. His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his face almost couldn't hold back.

Gu Sheng pinched the teacup, "The official is not sure."

Chang Zhi nodded and expressed his belief. After hearing his suggestions, the boy did not say anything or ask, and he did not notice it, "I heard that you have saved enough money?"

Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little excited, "Yes, the fields and shops are enough, the officials' expenses are enough, and they can save some."

His big expenses are painted paper and dyes, and he is not so particular about food. A bowl of noodles is also a meal, and there is no luxury of fish meat.

Changzhi raised his eyes, "Is this enough money to get married?"

Gu Shengxiao was so excited that he would marry. There were enough people with equal status and not many small officials. He had a good fortune among small officials. He hoped that the county lord would not have enough to read it. He was a little discouraged. "The paintings the small officials painted this year are not much, and I want to sell a few more paintings."

Changzhi curled his lips, "I know many people, I will introduce you to you."

Gu Sheng, "Sir Xie."

Changzhi smiled deeper, "You should be careful recently, and there are too many other purposes."

Gu Sheng looked serious, "Yes."

A few days later, Lord Lu's case was settled, and the roster was there. The interrogation went smoothly. The personnel involved in the case in various states were escorted to Beijing, and the capital also began a house search operation.

Zhou Shuren received the order and went to Lord Lu’s house in person. Lord Lu’s mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Today, the elderly, weak, women and children were all rushed to the yard.

To be honest, Zhou Shuren doesn't like coming here very much. He doesn't like making mistakes and implicating the entire clan. When the Supreme Emperor was still there, he tentatively sighed. He always remembered the sharp eyes of the Supreme Emperor at that time and never mentioned them again.

Lord Lu's family did not cry, maybe they had already cried and shed tears. The female family was waiting for her future destiny. The boys who stayed at home were not young, the oldest was only fifteen years old, and the other adult men were in prison.

Zhou Shuren looked at the five or six-year-old children, and the children were trembling. Lord Lu climbed very quickly because of the road construction, and the scenery along the way was unlimited, and now he was in dust.

Zhang Jinghong said: "Sir Shangshu."

Zhou Shuren, "Let's go in and take a look."

Zhang Jinghong responded. He had no feelings about raiding homes and exiles. He enjoyed the wealth brought by his identity. If he had to bear everything in decline, he had to bear everything. Just like he was a royal family in the previous dynasty, his identity constraints could not be erased.

He was lucky again. At present, the emperor was very tolerant of him. The last time he saw the prince, the prince asked his son about his studies. This was a signal that his son could be admitted to the imperial examination. He drank too much that day and hugged his wife and cried for half a night.

Lord Lu knew that he could not escape, so the secret room explained clearly and even gave another villa.

When Zhou Shuren arrived, he carried out boxes of silver coins.

Zhang Jinghong, "I really dare to be greedy."

Zhou Shuren sneered, "Greed cannot be filled."

Zhang Jinghong snorted, "It's all bloody silver. If there are countless casualties and injuries caused by floods, it will not be enough for them to go to hell."

Zhou Shuren said intently that when you were the fifth prince, your heart was also dark.

Zhang Jinghong said again: "The emperor has been kind enough and the whole clan is exiled."

Zhou Shuren, “!!”

Why didn't he feel merciful? Lord Lu and several sons of educated youth were beheaded, and the twenty-two-plate who were unaware of it was exiled together. It is hard to say whether he could live to exile for his injuries.

Zhou Shuren asked Zhang Jinghong to watch him. He didn't want to stay when he saw that the registration was almost done.

Before he could reach the front yard, he could hear the child's crying and the sound of shouting. Soon the crying disappeared. He also went to the front yard and saw a few women covering the child's mouth.

Zhou Shuren took a deep breath, "What's wrong?"

The officer in charge stepped forward and said, "It's okay."

The Lu family under Zhou Shuren's eaves were still the ones he spoke to under the eaves, otherwise he would have fainted long ago, "Prepare some water and food."

The official hesitated, "This."

"Um?"

"Yes, this little one makes people prepare."

Zhou Shuren thought about the antique calligraphy and paintings transported in the backyard, and needed to register, "Find an empty room and let them in."

Official, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren didn't speak anymore and took the people away from Lu's mansion.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren was in a bad mood and didn't eat too much dinner. He sent all the girls away. Only his wife was there in the room, so he sighed, "I still can't see some things when I stay here for many years."

Zhulan, “You have done a good job.”

"After reorganizations, the escorted yamen runners dare no longer be lawless."

Zhulan smiled, "Look, you have changed a lot."

Without Shu Ren's repeated suggestions, there would be no rectification again and again. Now the exiled yamen runners have been regulated many times.

Zhou Shuren cannot change the situation at present, "I will talk to the emperor tomorrow, and I need to beat him from time to time."

"good."

The capital city has not stopped raiding the house in the past few days. If the circumstances are serious, the beheading is exiled. If the lesser it is demoted to the official, the more the official positions in the capital city are vacant.

As the officials and finance escorted to Beijing one after another, the Ministry of Revenue was very busy and the booklets they prepared were not enough.

Zhou Shuren was busy for a month before he finished the statistics thoroughly and entered the palace with the last general account book.

The emperor had already calmed down and read the account book with a calm expression, "This year is a prosperous year."

Zhou Shuren, “Yes.”

The emperor asked, "Your fourth son has been in the Hanlin Academy. Do you have any other ideas?"

Zhou Shuren blinked, "Hanlin Academy is pretty good."

"There are many official positions now."

Zhou Shuren lowered his head and said, "What I told the truth is that Changzhi is good at studying in Hanlin Academy."

The emperor signaled Shu Ren to sit down, "If all the adults are like you, I will have much less worries."

It was another game to have his official position vacant, and his game with the aristocratic family.

The emperor touched the beads and wanted Zhou Changzhi to help take a place for a few years. Finally, he sighed, "That's it."

Zhou Shuren's keen radar has been wiped out. The situation in the Zhou family is now very good and Changzhi does not need to go further.

The emperor said again: "I remember you are familiar with the Zheng family."

"Zheng family?"

"The Zheng family in the northwest."

Zhou Shuren said: "It doesn't count. I haven't had any letters in these years."

The emperor was happy, "Okay, okay, I'm not familiar with it. Someone from the Zheng family will come to Beijing for some time."

Zhou Shuren was surprised that the emperor trusted the Zheng family, and the guards on the border were basically the emperor's confidants, and he was curious about why the Zheng family entered the capital.

The emperor said again: "Your Yue's family is also on the border."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, my nephew is on the border."

“It’s all good.”

If it weren't for Zhou Shuren and Yang, he wouldn't have paid too much attention to the Yang family. Yang's ability made him pay more attention to the Yang family. He didn't find anything else, but he was a place where loyalty was not surpassed.
