Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Suzhou government office signed a deposit for the house.

    Magistrate Cai heard Liu Zhengqi¡¯s half-truth and half-false words:

    "I heard that my husband sent the Kunshan Gunmen Battalion to suppress bandits in Xishan. We Xishan aborigines were all overjoyed and were planning to build a shrine for my husband. Although there were Japanese pirates in the 35th year of the Jiajing Campaign, the villagers were not allowed to  We don¡¯t have to leave our hometown, but everyone has always missed Xishan, where our ancestral property, ancestral home and ancestral tombs are"

    Magistrate Cai was very pleased with what he said.  He was a famous official in Neo-Confucianism, he was clean and self-sufficient, he didn't like money, but he only loved fame.

    Hearing what Liu Yuanwai said, he had even thought about the site selection, materials, design and planning of the shrine, as well as the renderings after it was completed.

    "Who knows" Liu Zhengqi changed the subject.

    Magistrate Cai¡¯s face suddenly darkened. It seemed that something had changed in the Xiu Sheng Temple.  "Who knows what?"

    "Who would have thought that Xu Kun, the second master of the Xu family, suddenly came to our door the day before yesterday and threatened that the Kunshan Gunman Battalion was going to occupy Xishan Island, causing us indigenous people to rise up and resist."

    "What does this have to do with the Xu family?" Magistrate Cai couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered the glorious deeds of "Zhao Zhuangyuan beat up Mr. Xiao Ge".

    "The second master said that his family has a personal grudge against Kunshan Zhaozhixian's family, and they should be punished to vent their anger on the eldest brother." Liu Zhengqi's words are true, but he did not mention who called Xu Kun

    "What a mess!" Magistrate Cai shouted: "What kind of trouble does a gentleman from Songjiang come to Suzhou to stir up trouble?"

    "They say they want to uphold justice for us." Liu Zhengqi said with a grimace, "But that's not the justice we want. Besides, with my husband and ancestors here, how can the Xu family stand up for us?"

    "Humph, that's natural, the Xu family's hand is stretched too far!" Magistrate Cai was furious.

    ?????????? In fact, the Xu family has been rude to Magistrate Cai a lot in the past.  When something happened, he would always send a servant over to inform him, and his attitude was very disrespectful.

    Like this time, I often get things done without saying hello, and I really never take him seriously.

    Before, when Mr. Xu Ge was in office, Magistrate Cai could only swallow his anger and pretend not to care.

    This time, Xu Jie has become a retired veteran cadre. The Xu family still does not want to restrain themselves. Instead, they intensify their efforts and openly interfere in Suzhou's internal affairs and instigate the people to confront the government!

    ¡°You don¡¯t take him seriously, a dignified fourth-grade prefect!¡±

    New and old grudges surged into his heart, making Magistrate Cai¡¯s teeth itch with hatred.  After a while, Fang asked coldly: "Then did you listen to him?"

    "Of course I won't listen. We are all law-abiding and good citizens. How can we cause trouble to my husband?" Liu Zhengqi hurriedly denied it.

    ¡°Really, one of them went to him yesterday, and the rest were all pretended by Zhao Hao¡¯s people.

    "So the Xu family threatened to kill you?" Magistrate Cai asked with a sullen face.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Shunchang rebels against death, do you think there is still any government after falling to the ground?  I would like to ask, whose family controls the world in Suzhou today?  !

    "It's also because Xu Kun led 500 slaves to attack the Great Saint Bay camp yesterday" Seeing that his old man was about to explode, Liu Zhengqi hurriedly lit another firecracker.

    "What?!" Magistrate Cai was really furious, slamming the case and shouting: "The Xu family dared to gather evil slaves to attack the barracks of a county. Is this a rebellion?!"

    Liu Zhengqi was trembling with fright. He suddenly understood why Mr. Zhao was so confident.

    To put it bluntly, it is still the old saying, the people do not fight with the officials.

    No matter how small Kunshan County is, it is still a first-level government.  No matter how big the Xu family is, they are still just local gentry.  There is no suspense about where Governor Cai's butt will sit.

    ??And the butt determines the head, and the head determines the mouth

    ??~~

    Magistrate Cai had a fit, and then he asked angrily: "How many people died?"

    He almost hates the Xu family.  No matter what the reason, large-scale armed fighting under his rule is a vicious event that can affect his career!

    "No one was injured, let alone died." Liu Zhengqi hurriedly reassured his old man, "It's just that they were all detained by the Kunshan Gunner Battalion."

    Then he added in a low voice: "The Xu family thought it was a villain who leaked the news, so they threatened to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

    "Huh" Magistrate Cai breathed a sigh of relief and said in disbelief: "Even if five hundred pigs are caught, they can still bite and bruise a few people. Why are the slaves of the Xu family worse than pigs?"

    Liu Zhengqi couldn't help but sneer: "Secret Master Xu entered the camp rashly and was captured by the gunner camp. His men had no choice but to surrender obediently."

    Liu Yuanwai did not tell the prefect, but he actually tricked Xu Kun into the camp himself.

    "Xu Kun is really good." Cai Guoxi chuckled and leaned back in his chair, feeling that his evaluation of the Xu family had been downgraded a lot.  "?What about the end, were they released?  "

    "If we don't let him go, I guess the Xu family won't be finished." Liu Yuanwai shook his head and said, "Such a big thing happened, so I must inform my grandfather as soon as possible to prevent my grandfather from being caught off guard."

    "Well, you're not bad." Cai Guoxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, I will pay attention to this matter."

    "Yes, sir." Mr. Liu responded respectfully.

    Just as he was about to retire, he heard Cai Guoxi say in a deep voice: "Don't build a shrine on Xishan Island. How can I be a person who is seeking fame and reputation?"

    After a pause, he said quietly: "People in the wilderness are not serious."

    Liu Yuanwai suddenly realized that his husband disliked the fact that Xishan was inaccessible and unpopular.

    He hurriedly bowed and said: "The one on the West Mountain will not be repaired, and only a living shrine will be left on the Dongshan Island. Please do not refuse, please, to understand the filial piety of the people."

    "Hey, forget it, you guys can figure it out." Magistrate Cai waved his hand, feeling too embarrassed to take out the design drawings from the drawer right away.

    It¡¯s better to let the people below take care of it another day

    ??~~

    After Liu Yuanwai took his leave, Magistrate Cai called his staff, Mr. Hu, to discuss with him which design drawing should be used to build his own shrine.

    I just heard Mr. Hu, the staff member, planning hard:

    "You must choose the best location, hire the best craftsmen, and use the best materials. To build it, you must build the highest-grade living temple, with five couplets and seven pillars on the mountain gate, and a yard of at least five hundred acres. What about red walls?  Green tiles! Brass incense burners! Shentan statues! Gilded Dharma protectors! Use everything you can for him. The most important thing is that there must be a god living in the ancestral hall, so that the incense will be strong, and it will last for more than ten years.  If you go down, Dong Weng will become a god worshiped by the people!"

    Magistrate Cai¡¯s mouth watered when he heard this.  "How much will this cost?"

    "Let those Dongting businessmen pay, they have plenty of money."

    "But spending too much money will still damage the reputation of this house."

    "It's simple. Follow the old practice and partner with the temple and Taoist temple. In this way, all the expenses will be regarded as rebuilding the temple. But in fact, the temple and temple have become part of the shrine." Mr. Hu said calmly, obviously this was not the first time.  Become a staff member.

    "There is a White Horse Temple on Taihu Lake. I heard that the incense is very effective, but not as good as ours" Magistrate Cai rubbed his hands, eager to try it.

    "Dong Weng is really good at choosing places."

    The two of them were in the middle of a conversation when they suddenly heard the sound of drums and drums outside.

    Magistrate Cai immediately lost his interest and asked displeasedly: "Go and see who is playing the drums, first find a reason to beat him up!"
