Chapter 190
These papers are a piece of evidence, which clearly states which officer Lin Dabao bribed and bought part of the test questions from him. Besides Lin Dabao, who else also cheated in the childbirth case? They were the ones mentioned in Cheng Wenliu's letter.
For Lin Dabao, compared to the youngest Lin always looking for a sense of presence, he is like a brat living in Lin Xiazhi's memory, spoiled at home, getting whatever he wants.
After the separation, apart from Lin Dabao bullying Lin Chengzong once with his friends, Lin Dabao did nothing else. Let Lin Xiazhi find old man Lin to teach him a lesson. If this evidence is handed over to the county government, Lin Xiazhi still feels a little bit unbearable .
Lin Xiazhi was a little confused, so he simply kicked the ball to Lin Chengzu and showed him the evidence of Lin Dabao's cheating.
Without further ado, Lin Chengzu immediately stated that he would send this evidence to the county government, so that those who cheated would not be allowed to go unpunished.
Before Lin Xiazhi sent the evidence to Lin Chengzu, he knew that Lin Chengzu would probably choose to hand over the evidence to the county magistrate. This made Lin Xiazhi feel inexplicably guilty that he was harming others, so he might as well decide to send the evidence to the county magistrate. County government.
Whether it was him using old man Lin's face-saving mentality to deal with youngest Lin, or facing Lin Xiaoxue who was betrayed by his husband before he had time to make a move, Lin Xiazhi didn't feel this way.
Seeing that Lin Xiazhi didn't speak, Lin Chengzu thought he agreed to do so, so he asked Cheng Pingjiang to send this evidence back to Cheng's house, and asked Cheng Wenliu to arrange it.
After Cheng Ping left, Lin Xiazhi slumped on the sofa. Before he traveled to Jingguo, he was just an ordinary college student. After the time travel, most of his thoughts were about dividing up the family and making money. After all, his heart softened a little.
"Brother, I know that Lin Dabao deserved what he deserved, but I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
Lin Chengzu has been doing business outside for the past two years, and he is no longer the former Lin Chengzu. Now he is much harder-hearted than Lin Xiazhi: "Brother Xia, Lin Dabao cheated not because we pressured him to cheat, but because he committed the crime himself. , has nothing to do with us."
"When he decides to cheat, he must have the awareness to bear the consequences. No matter how he will be dealt with in the end, it is all caused by him."
"Think about it, the imperial examination is the only opportunity for the poor to change their families. The more people cheat in the imperial examination, the more unfair it is to the poor. What we are doing now is to advance what we should have done last year."
Lin Chengzu's last sentence really hit the point. When they found out that Lin Dabao had cheated, they could expose the matter. At that time, there was not enough evidence and it was just speculation. Now it is only because they have evidence in their hands that they delayed the report.
This kind of thing has to be figured out by yourself, no matter how others persuade you.
In fact, Lin Xiazhi didn't struggle with it for a long time. He quickly came out of the feeling of guilt. Lin Dabao's cheating was not designed by them, and it had nothing to do with him. His thoughts should not be placed on these places.
In the future, the Lin family's business will grow bigger and bigger. After Lin Xiazhi marries into the Cheng family, he will participate in the Cheng family's business. Maybe he will encounter darker things in the future. He has to adapt and not let himself be entangled by these negative emotions.
The county magistrate got the evidence that Cheng Wenliu asked someone to submit in secret, and he was furious, and ordered people to investigate the whole matter thoroughly.
The test files of that year were searched out one by one, and the officials who missed the questions and those involved in cheating were all imprisoned and tried separately.
Ever since, the case started with Lin Dabao beheading the second son of the Sun family, and then involved cheating in the Tongsheng exam last year, which caused an uproar in Jiangning County.
This development greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Cheating has always been hated by the government. No matter what the reason is, no one can be safe and sound after cheating.
This was a major case that might not be encountered once in several years or even more than ten years. Five or six government officials were dispatched to Linjiacun to go door-to-door to question the villagers' opinions on Lin Dabao.
The main house of the Lin family has long been notorious in the village, and the villagers saw that they did not make trouble in the face of the same family, and just telling the truth can make Lin Dabao overwhelmed.
In the past, the main house boasted that Lin Dabao had been enlightened by the master, that it was Wenqu Xing who was able to pass the exam; the year before last, Lin Dabao was tricked into counting money in a gambling shop; Talk about the little things.
Or the people who bought the paddy fields of the main house of the Lin family remembered at this moment that their family bought the paddy fields of the Lin family just before the exam, so where did such a large sum of money go?
In short, Lin Dabao is very suspected of cheating, and the elders in the family are likely to be involved in it, helping to raise money to cheat.
In addition to asking the villagers, Lin Dabao's former teachers and classmates who studied in Weijia Village were all interrogated by the guards one by one, and the records made had to be signed or stamped as evidence in court.
Lin Dabao's cheating was basically confirmed. With the solid evidence from his side and the problems found in the files of the year, the officials who missed the questions were recruited. I hope the county magistrate will give him a lighter punishment for his honesty.
The other guys who cheated were also successfully involved.
With the cheating in the imperial examination, the bad things their family did were also investigated to the bottom.By the way, I also used this name to check those families whose children did not participate in this cheating.
Only at this time did the wealthy households in the county come to their senses, why was it just a farm boy who cheated?
This time, those who reacted quickly took the initiative to take out their vain money to the county government, saying that they were willing to contribute to the county's road construction.
When dealing with these sensible people, the county magistrate saw that their family members had not committed any major crimes, so he temporarily let them go. If there are other problems found in the future, they will be dealt with at that time.
As for the few remaining families who still rely on their own strong background and extensive contacts, and are not cooperative at all, the county magistrate will not be lenient, and there are many ways to do it.
In order to buy good land at a low price, the families of ordinary farmers were ruined; in order to make money for the family, they used some shady methods to make other normal businessmen notorious; they threatened and killed the people for a recipe; Son... All kinds of deeds broke out at this time.
After this investigation, I found out that even the magistrate of Jiangning County is a good official who is upright and strict.
The face of the county magistrate is getting uglier day by day, ransacking the house, imprisoning, exile, and beheading, according to the law, he can be sentenced according to the law.
At this time, other county magistrates wrote official letters to Jiangning county magistrate, asking him why he dealt with those families in such a big way, implying that he would let them go.
When Jiangning county magistrate saw these letters, he put them all aside and ignored them. He only wrote a note to the sheriff, explaining clearly what should happen before and after what happened.
The cheating incident had to be reported, and the magistrate of Jiangning was acting in accordance with the law.
Within two days, the county magistrates who wrote the letters received letters reprimanding them from the sheriff one after another, and they dared not help the families who were exiled anymore, and returned the benefits they received, so as not to get themselves into trouble.
The county magistrate’s handling of these unruly merchants has nothing to do with most honest business people. Everyone’s life has not changed, except that one or two shops on the street are closed from time to time, and they also have more things to talk about after dinner.
When the undercurrent was surging in Jiangning County, the pottery workshop made the clay pots that Lao Qintou asked for, and Lao Qintou led his juniors to make the joints needed to make bamboo pipes at home, so they could go to the Lin family to make bamboo pipes for water transportation. .
The Lin family has only gradually become rich in the past two years, and they used to work as coolies in the fields, so the masters of the Lin family have a good attitude towards the tenant farmers, especially Lin Huzi, who still deals with the land every day, even with his servants. Nor will they look down on farmers.
Old Qintou had met many Lin family members before, and everyone knew that Lao Qintou and the others were tenant farmers of Lin Xiazhi's farm. When they saw them coming, they immediately went to the house to ask the master for instructions, and soon got a reply and opened the door to let them go.
Installing bamboo pipes in the home is not as simple as in the field. It should be designed according to the structure of the house and the demand for water, so that the installation can be reasonable and more convenient for people to use.
While watching Lao Qintou and the others install the bamboo pipes for carrying water, Lin Xiazhi suddenly thought that the house should also be equipped with a sewer pipe. When cooking in the kitchen, you can only pour dirty water into the bucket, and the servants will bring it out after it is full. to pour.
That's fine for those greasy dishwashing water, and even ordinary vegetable washing water can only be like this, which is really inconvenient.
Therefore, Lin Xiazhi told Lao Qintou about his idea of sewer pipes, that the hut is not needed, and the kitchen and bathroom can see if bamboo pipes can be installed to transport the waste water.
Transporting waste water is much simpler than transporting clean water. Just lay a relatively large bamboo pipe in the corner of the wall and extend from the kitchen or toilet all the way to the drainage ditch outside the house.
Because of the installation of waste water bamboo pipes, Lao Qintou and his family members stayed at the Lin family for an extra day. It took a total of three days to complete the bamboo pipes that the Lin family needed to install.
The bamboo pipes used to carry the water run from the high water tank next to the well in the backyard to the kitchen, hut and bathing room.
The water flows to the lower place, and the height of the bamboo pipes can only be from high to low. A special platform was built at the water tank, so that the height can meet the requirements. The bamboo pipes are installed along the corner of the wall. The height of each pipe is planned. The bamboo tube can quickly reach the water outlet.
After Lao Qintou and the others set up the bamboo pipes of the Lin family, Lin Xiazhi asked them to build the Lin family's tofu house as well.
The tofu house needs water for food, and the servants living in the tofu house also use a lot of water for daily living.
It took five days to use all six water tanks to install all the bamboo pipes in Lin's tofu house.
Fortunately, there are some stocks in front of the tofu room. Except for tofu, which must be made fresh every day, other food can be slowed down. Wherever the bamboo tube is installed in the room, the people in that room can rest for a day. The servants of the tofu room have no chance to rest. Just give them an extra day and month.
