In his previous life, Cui Xian was a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature from a prestigious university.
In this life, he has transmigrated into an impoverished family in ancient times.
...For children, Mahora is too tempting!
The storybook of "Rainbow Cat" has become very popular recently.
Rainbow Cat Mahora is someone no child can resist.
The method to obtain Mahora is also very simple -
Just ask your parents for some information related to the Zhao Mansion!
These guys may not be very good at studying.
But the few clever ideas he had were always effective when he used them on his parents.
therefore.
On this day, a man who worked as a gardener in the Zhao Mansion returned home.
At the dinner table, his son suddenly said, "Dad, you've worked hard all day."
"My son has heard that the Zhao family is of high status and power. Dad, you will not be bullied if you work for them, right?"
"Will his master and young master suddenly lose their temper and take their anger out on innocent people?"
The gardener was deeply moved when he heard this, and kept saying that my son was sensible and filial.
The father and son continued chatting about the Zhao family.
The gardener said casually, "Speaking of which, the young master of the Zhao family does have a bad temper. He often smashes things at home recently, and keeps muttering..."
"This person definitely cannot be a genius. I want to kill him. Such things are really scary."
He was just chatting.
But he didn't notice that his son's eyes suddenly lit up.
A restaurant.
Several servants of the Zhao family were drinking and eating in a small room.
Since there was no one around, a drunk servant said angrily with red eyes: "Seven years, I have worked for the Zhao family for seven years! I am loyal to them!"
"But Zhao Zhi bullied my wife! I hate him!"
The other servants felt sympathetic and offered comfort.
They didn't notice.
Next door, the restaurant owner's son was eavesdropping at the food delivery counter.
The busy waiter thought his young master was playing and didn't pay any attention to him.
A certain dental shop.
While his father was not at home, a young boy took the key and secretly opened his own warehouse.
"I vaguely heard my father say when he was drunk one time that the Zhao family was extremely wealthy. They even had several copies of property deeds transferred to my dental office alone."
The boy muttered to himself as he rummaged through the shelves in the warehouse.
Where is it placed?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Great, I found it!"
An inconspicuous private residence somewhere in Nanyang.
A wealthy tea merchant secretly invited County Magistrate Zhao to his home for a drink in the name of a "banquet".
The banquet was very lively with everyone clinking glasses and drinking from one cup to another.
at last.
The merchant handed a stack of banknotes to County Magistrate Zhao without leaving any trace, and said in a flattering tone: "Master Zhao, this is just a token of my appreciation, just a token of my appreciation."
Zhao Zhi accepted it with a smile, hugged a beautiful lady, and went to the next room.
The two adults didn't notice it from beginning to end.
The merchant's six-year-old son had been sitting on the threshold of the living room playing with the cat.
But his little eyes were rolling around, watching everything his father and County Magistrate Zhao did.
Outside Zhao's house.
A white-haired old woman was lying in the alley with lifeless eyes, her face full of despair and haggardness.
Cui Yu, who was walking cautiously outside the Zhao residence, saw this and felt a little sorry for it.
This old woman reminded her of her grandmother.
So, Cui Yu hesitated for a moment, spent a penny to buy a steamed bun, and asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of water.
Then he sent it to the old woman: "Grandma, have something to eat."
The old woman looked up and saw the kind-hearted child. She kept thanking him, tears streaming down her face: "Thank you, good child."
"Damn Zhao Zhi, he is such a bastard! He has taken away all of my 40 mu of land!"
Hearing this, Cui Yu was shocked.
Bamboo forest by the Baihe River.
It was almost dark. Cui Xian had been waiting for a long time and finally all the brothers came back.
The first one to come back was Li Heyu.
He looked angry: "Brother Xian, I went to ask around, and the thief in your house was most likely the Zhao family's doing!"
"We lost the poetry contest last time, and Zhao Yaozu and Zhao Zhi lost face. They also learned that you have a talent for studying, so they hold a grudge against you."
"I have also found out the Zhao family's traitor in our clan school."
"But I didn't act rashly and pretended not to know."
Cui Xian praised: "Brother He Yu did a good job. We cannot be exposed for now and must act in secret."
When Zhuang Jin came back, his expression was very embarrassed: "Brother Xian, I also got some information here."
"The Zhao Zhi family has countless properties."
"He also accepted bribes. The owner of Wu's Tea House gave Zhao Zhi two hundred taels of silver tonight! His son saw it with his own eyes."
"Besides, Zhao Zhi also beat people!"
Beat someone?
Seeing Li Heyu and Cui Xian looking puzzled.
Zhuang Jin said angrily, "Yes! Wu Ji Tea Connoisseur's youngest son saw it with his own eyes! He said that Zhao Zhi took a woman to the next room, and then the woman kept screaming, screaming as miserable as a pig being slaughtered."
“…”
Cui Xian was embarrassed, and then hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, there shouldn't be any problem with this."
Zhuang Jin was a little dissatisfied: "Things like beating people can also be reported to the police! How can there be no problem?"
Cui Xian was speechless.
Fortunately, Zhuang Jin did not dwell on this matter too much. He and Li Heyu looked at Cui Xian with anticipation.
Can this information kill Zhao Zhi?
Cui Xian shook his head.
Embezzlement, bribery, power-for-sex transactions, and countless private residences - these seemed serious, but it was still impossible to bring Zhao Zhi to justice on the spot.
A 'typical' crime is needed.
It can be magnified infinitely, enough to stir up the anger of all classes of people, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, causing a stir in the whole city, reaching the county government, and even the prefectural government forcing them to intervene.
The incident caused all the scholars and officials to look at the Zhao family angrily.
It is true that the Zhao family is the head of the local gentry.
But in this ancient society where the order of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans was ranked, any gentry would be doomed if one angered the literati.
If this crime was more typical, Cui Xian would even be confident that he could use the Zhao family as a target and send them to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Let Zhao Zhi taste the wrath of the governor!
Just when Zhuang Jin, Li Heyu and Cui Xian were disappointed.
Cui Yu came back jogging.
He panted and said, "Brother, I also got some information. An old lady said that her 40 acres of land were all occupied by the Zhao family."
"It's not just her. Many households in their village have had their land occupied by the Zhao family."
Li Heyu was furious when he heard this: "This Zhao family is really despicable."
Zhuang Jin also said with disgust: "Asshole! Damn it!"
Cui Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said something that shocked everyone present: "Zhao Zhi, I caught you on the tail!"
Land annexation!
This alone may not be enough to take down Zhao Zhi.
After all, although the crime was serious, Zhao Zhi was extremely powerful in Nanyang, and even if he sued in Kaifeng Prefecture, he might not succeed.
but--
What if we add another famous poem that is popular among scholars and is enough to arouse the sympathy of countless people for the peasants?
Zhao Zhi, just watch me use my pen as a knife.
Come to kill you!
