A Summary of The Scholars (VI)

The sixth time, the squire fell ill and troubled the boatman, and the widow was accused of being an uncle.

There are two lamps in the lamp. Yan Jian always sticks out two fingers for fear of wasting oil. Zhao chose one before he died. When Yan returned to his hometown, he suddenly fell ill. He ate his own "cloud cake" and recovered. Other people on the boat ate it secretly. After the ship landed, Yan inquired about the whereabouts of Yunbing because the boatman's sailors liked money. In a rage, he wanted to send Xiang Jia to Tang's official office to plead guilty. Only when the bellboy stopped to beg, Yan spared the boatman, but did not pay the boat a penny.

After Zhao's son died, Yan's son inherited the house, took charge of Yan Jiansheng's home, and drove Zhao to the wing to live. Zhao went to the county government to complain, and the Tang magistrate sentenced him to "Yang's relatives to answer". Yan, the head of the clan, was afraid of being a big official, so he pushed it around. Finally, I had to write a few words to magistrate Yan. Because the magistrate of a county was also born to Yu Ji, he approved "listen to Zhao's own choice, establish virtue and love."

Yan Gong Sheng flew into a rage and sued the court, which was also a concubine, but he didn't tell the truth. Then he sued the provincial supervision department, which refused to accept it. He only got the guidance of Zhou Xuedao in Beijing and complained to the Ministry.
