First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 698

The situation is under control, but Zhang Shuning has a more important thing, and that is to explain to his father...

"I'll go with you!" Xia Zhifeng whispered, "With me here, your father won't be too angry."

Zhang Shuning was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's alright, my father is still reasonable. Even if he wants to spank me, he won't let you see it!"

"Why? I can intercede for you! Mr. is very kind!"

"Without him, face and ears!" Zhang Shuning said with a sullen face, "I've already been embarrassed once, and there won't be a second time!"

After he finished speaking, the boy strode into Zhang Ximeng's study.

Xia Zhifeng looked at his back again, and suddenly the corner of his mouth rose slightly. This little friend is quite interesting... How to describe him?

It should be an arrogant little peacock that hasn't grown up yet.

Although I try to maintain my maturity, calmness, no last resort, Zhizhu is in my hands... and indeed in most cases, I can do it, but after all, due to the age problem, it will still show some clues.

For example, the embarrassment of being surrounded by a group of porters... It's just that Zhang Shuning like this doesn't make Xia Zhifeng feel disgusted at all, on the contrary, he feels real and accessible. The eldest son of the right prime minister…

The most interesting thing is that when Zhang Shuning blushed, his pale skin turned red, almost like a ripe peach.

Xia Zhifeng laughed when she thought about it. She ran under the grape trellis and sat on Zhang Ximeng's rattan chair, swaying and looking up, thinking in her heart.

Gradually, Xia Zhifeng actually fell asleep. What happened today made her exhausted. She didn't know how long it took before she finally woke up, and found that there was a thin quilt on her body, and Zhang Shuning was standing beside her.

"You didn't get punished, did you? What about Mr.?" Xia Zhifeng asked hurriedly.

Zhang Shuning shook his head, "No, I said it, Dad is very open-minded. He just said that no matter how strict the precautions are, he will inevitably open his mind and be elated."

"And those porters really didn't have lethal weapons. Even if they caught me, they couldn't threaten my life, so it couldn't be considered negligence by the guards. As for me, it was to protect the safety of my junior sister. Although I was a little impatient, it wasn't a big mistake. After all, you can't expect a child less than ten years old to beat ten!"

Zhang Shuning's voice was low, and he deliberately imitated his father's speech. Xia Zhifeng couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "It's really what Mr. can say... Then, then, everyone is fine? No... There are second aunts and the others, sir. How to say?"

Xia Zhifeng's heart lifted, because she was worried that her husband said it was an ordinary marriage proposal, that her parents ordered a matchmaker, and she didn't know Zhang Shuning's identity, so she couldn't talk about the felony of offending the prince... Then, things would be elusive. The lake is painted over.

"What do you want my father to say?" Zhang Shuning asked with a smile.

Xia Zhifeng scratched her little head, and said in confusion, "I don't know, what exactly is this, is it a bad folk custom, or is it a forced marriage, or is it bullying?"

Zhang Shuning suddenly burst into laughter, laughing backwards and forwards, "It seems that you have some talent for astronomy, but these laws and regulations are still not good... Do you know how my father characterizes this matter?"

Xia Zhifeng's eyes widened, "How is it determined? Is it serious?"

"It's very serious, Dad said, this is a disguised businessman!"

"Ah!" Although Xia Zhifeng didn't know much about the law, he also knew the power of these four words. This is the highest felony that can be peeled off!

"Sir really said that?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "Dad said, under the rule of Yuan Ting, people were divided into four classes. Southern Han people lived like cattle and horses. Due to the widespread existence of slavery, the trade of people was very common. There was even a special market to buy and sell children. Some Girls were sent to brothels, and some boys were also taken into the hands of big families and became slaves or even playthings of big families.”

Xia Zhifeng was startled and said in a low voice, "I know this, didn't we in the Ming Dynasty close the brothel and abolish the slaves?"

Zhang Shuning said, "That's true, but openly buying and selling is prohibited, and some secret buying and selling are still rampant!"

"How to say?"

"For example, some poor families can't support them, so they transfer their children to others for some money... There are also some baby girls who were abandoned early. In other industries, they recruit apprentices and buy godsons. There are also some big families. If there is no successor, they will buy children in private, inherit incense, and some who can't marry a wife will try to use money to defraud women as wives!”

"what!"

Xia Zhifeng was taken aback, what Mr. said was indeed widespread, and there were many around her, such as...Xu Guan!

"Sir, are you saying that inheriting incense and buying children are considered human trafficking?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "It's natural to count!"

"What about recruiting a son-in-law?"

Zhang Shuning said: "My father's meaning is that if it is an ordinary door-to-door son-in-law, and it does not involve the issue of changing surnames, it should be fine. But if people are forced to change their surnames, and there is coercion, they should be trading people in disguise. This is not allowed. of!"

Xia Zhifeng was overjoyed, "So Xu Guan can change his surname back to Huang?"

Zhang Shuning nodded and said, "Indeed, the Xu family is too shameless. They treat their son-in-law as a servant, shouting and drinking, beating and scolding at will, it's really hateful!"

"Then, if you remarry with your mother, can you change back to your original surname?"

"Yes... As long as the child becomes an adult and can decide things for himself, he can change his surname back to his original name. Parents must not interfere!"

Xia Zhifeng was overjoyed, "So, so Luo Shiqi can also change back to Yang's surname! That's great!"

Xia Zhifeng jumped up and clapped her hands with joy, "Sir is so wise, when will these regulations be implemented? I can't wait!"

Zhang Shuning smiled slightly, "Don't be too busy, there is a bigger tumor that needs to be completely eradicated!"

"What?" Xia Zhifeng asked in surprise.

"It's the three aunts and six grandmothers! These old goddesses are going to be unlucky!" Zhang Shuning waved his fist fiercely, his face full of admiration and excitement.

Zhang Ximeng is reasonable. He won't ask you to do anything just because you provoke his son... Everything is based on the law, and it can be done to the extent that it can be done.

But Zhang Ximeng is also terrifying. He has mastered a considerable ability to formulate rules, and he can completely sweep away the accumulated evils and make an industry disappear!

That's right, Zhang Ximeng is targeting the group of three aunts and six grandmothers this time!

The so-called three aunts and six aunts are nuns, Taoist aunts, Gua aunts, as well as Ywomen, matchmakers, master-women, god-wife women, medicine women, Wen-women... These people walk around the streets, cheating Lao Li, cheating Lao Wang, specializing in instigating troubles, cheating People and money, buying and selling people, not doing good things.

For example, Wang Po, who completes Ximen officials, is one of the matchmakers.

If they were just ordinary mediators, what kind of money could they make? It's nothing more than a pair of shoes.

The grandmother of the family disdains this kind of low-end game!

A man is not married and a woman is not married, so there is no challenge at all. Only if the man has a family and the woman has a husband, it will be more exciting and profitable to challenge the law and ethics!

In order to complete this pair of mandarin ducks who can no longer be wild, even if the innocent Wu Dalang is poisoned, he will not hesitate!

This is the boldness and madness of the matchmaker!

So it's not uncommon to say that Aunt Han even dared to plot against Zhang Xianggong's disciples for the sake of making money. In the name of mediators, they walk on the edge of the law, it is difficult to define their behavior, so there is no way to judge.

But as the saying goes, when you walk by the river, you can't get your shoes wet!

Wang Po killed Wu Da, so she could only rely on Wu Song to kill her and avenge her brother.

But when he got to Zhang Ximeng's place, he could order the government to strictly investigate to the end!

"Students meet Zhang Xiang!"

In front of Zhang Ximeng, it was Yang Ji, the inspector of Jiangxi Province... This person, like Gao Qi, was also a famous talent in Wuzhong, but after joining Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, nor did he follow the academic route, but He became an official at the local level, and after tossing and turning, he arrived at the position of the inspector in Jiangxi.

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Sit down! Is it easy for you to be an inspector?"

Yang Ji said hurriedly: "Zhang Xiangmingjian, Jiangxi is intertwined, and many old forces are retained. In addition, it is not under the feet of the emperor, so it is very difficult for the lower officials to do things."

Zhang Ximeng said, "Well, is there a way to break the game?"

Yang Ji said: "There is a way. When the official came, he had already thought about it. The deputy minister of the court, Tang Ao, was greedy and perverted the law. "

Zhang Ximeng said, "What about the place? What should I do with those three aunts and six wives, messy flies?"

"Check it out! Check it out! The subordinate officials are going to join forces with Dusi, asking the local veterans, as well as the militiamen from all over the country, to cooperate and arrest those old goddesses who are causing trouble for the local area! For those who are guilty of many crimes and have human lives at stake. , be executed immediately, as an example! Others will also be distributed to Peiping, and will never be pardoned!"

Zhang Ximeng pondered slightly, "King Yan is working on rebuilding Kaiping City in Shangdu. The imperial court intends to add Daning Dusi. In addition, Liaodong has just been recaptured, and the population is severely lacking."

Yang Ji was slightly startled, what does Zhang Xiang mean?

Don't think it's not enough to be sent to Peking?

It seems that Zhang Xianggong is really angry, but in fact, it is not surprising to think about it. It involves his son, his beloved disciple... Who can be calm in the place!

What's more, the dregs left over from the previous dynasty are still rotting and smelly after the Ming Dynasty was founded for ten years, and it is time to rectify it!

"Don't worry, Zhang Xiang, the lower official understands."

Yan Kee retired, and quickly went to make arrangements.

It's just that the government's actions are still too slow, and some people can't wait.

On this day, Xu Guan came out of the school and was about to go home when he saw Fang Xiaoru waiting with a large group of senior classmates. On the other side, Hu Yan came with dozens of classmates.

Behind Xu Guan, there were students in Jing Qing and other classes, and there were more than 200 people under the black pressure.

Fang Xiaoru strode over, "Xu Guan junior brother, we all know about your family's situation... The Xu family is indeed kind to you, but it's easy to get together and break up! Such a thing as a son-in-law is a matter of falling into the trap and taking advantage of people's danger. They You don't have any kindness, don't be afraid of them, we people are in charge of you!"

Hu Yan also said, "That's right, the school also has a law major. Let's go to Xu's house now and have a good talk with them. It's best if we agree, otherwise we will sue the official!"

Xu Guan never expected such a result, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly bowed deeply.

"Thank you, brothers and students... I thank you!"

Speaking of which, he was going to pay homage to the shrine, when someone suddenly smiled and said, "Let's come back and talk about it! Just remember to invite us to eat barbecue."

Xia Zhifeng rushed over, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Xu Guan was stunned for a moment, "You, you better not follow along. What if something happens?"

Xia Zhifeng didn't care, but nuzzled Xu and let Xu look outside. Only then did Xu Guan notice that there were hundreds of workers from Huaxia Bookstore at the school gate, each holding a stick and standing there.

And in the middle of the crowd, it was Zhang Shuning!

At this moment, Zhang Shuning, surrounded by the crowd, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he had an air of playfulness.

It's just that this dude doesn't hate him at all.

Xu Guan was startled, and hurried over.

"Zhang... Boss!"

Zhang Shuning couldn't help laughing, "You're still smart! Anyway, call it whatever you like! After I come back this time, I'll call you Huang Guan!"

Xu Guan was startled again, and nodded quickly, "Thank you, thank you Zhang Shuning!"

With a smile on Zhang Shuning's face, he nodded vigorously, then put his arms around Xu Guan's shoulder, "Go, go to Xu's house now!"

The crowd was huge, and people continued to join along the way. By the time they got to the Xu family's door, the number of people actually exceeded a thousand.

Xu Guan turned his head to look at Zhang Shuning, and after receiving the affirmation, he took firm steps to the door and knocked hard!

It's time to settle accounts...
