When the group arrived in Piyang County, Suzhou, it was already more than a month later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Let's not talk about how much suffering Ning Xiguang and others have endured along the way, how many sins they have suffered, how they are worried on the road, and they sleep in the open, but they said that after seeing the city gate of Piyang County, several people reflexively relieved, and felt that this crime had finally been received, but when they raised their eyes, they saw the tattered city walls, as well as the people in tattered clothes in the city, and everyone's hearts were lifted again.

Wang Qian couldn't help but be the first to speak, "This is also ...... Too poor, right?"

Uncle Wang was silent for a moment and sighed, "No, although it is a county seat, I see that it is not much richer than our small deserted village." ”

The nurse glanced out of the car window, "No, it's so poor." ”

Ning Xiguang also glanced out when he heard this, and saw that the city wall was really tattered, and the music showed that the people walking around the city were indeed dressed in tattered clothes, and there was a look of sadness and panic on their faces, and their eyes were very jealous when they looked at their carriage.

Ning Xiguang turned his head, stabbed Fu Siyan twice, and said with a smile, "This is also ...... This place is too poor, and the poor don't even have a soldier to defend the city, is this normal?"

Before Fu Siyan could reply, the two of them saw the officials rushing from inside the city gate through the half-lifted curtain of the carriage.

It is indeed the official of the county seat, after all, they are all wearing the bad clothes of the official officer, but they are all thin as firewood, with sallow faces, and their expressions are like frightened birds, as if they are not coming to greet the new county master, but some kind of cannibal jackal, tiger and leopard.

Ning Xiguang frowned reflexively, Fu Siyan shook his hand lightly, and then got out of the car. I don't know what he said to the two officials outside, but they saluted him respectfully, and then led them into the city tremblingly.

Ning Xiguang endured his curiosity and no longer thought about anything. arrived at the county office like this, and she got out of the carriage with the help of Xiaocui.

The two officials had already left, and standing in front of Fu Siyan at this moment was a master with a rickety figure and cloudy eyes. This man had gray hair, looked about fifty years old, and walked with a sway, as if he could fall down at any moment.

Ning Xiguang felt more and more that this county town was weird, but now was not a good time to inquire about the situation, so he didn't pay attention to these anymore, and only entered the inner courtyard with the nurse.

This interior was renovated by the previous county magistrate.

The last county magistrate heard that he was not born in the imperial examination, but the concubine of the family, although he was not liked by his mother-in-law, but his aunt had a bit of face, no, he blew the pillow wind and donated an official to him. Although it is only a poor county order, however, this is just a stepping stone. No, as soon as the three-year period passed, he immediately used his connections to transfer to Kyoto.

And Mrs. County Ling was born in a businessman, and she had a lot of money in her hands, so she renovated this internal office well. However, Ning Xiguang guessed that this county lady should be a little stingy in temperament, after all, this county government is now vacuumed inside and out, and there is not even a needle and thread left.

Seeing this, the nurse couldn't help but mutter, "It's the first time I've heard of such a stingy official." ”

Xiao Cui also muttered, "It's a little stingy." Alas, we didn't even leave a bundle of firewood and heduo, not even a rag to wipe Zhuo, not to mention oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, quilts and clothes. ”

Erya was a little stunned, "There are so many things missing, how can we cough tonight?"

Ning Xiguang laughed out loud, "If you buy it again, we will bring the most silver tickets, and if there is anything missing, Xiaocui will be written down on the paper, and while it is not dark, I will quickly let Wang Qian buy a few important ones." Let's buy the rest slowly, and we can always buy them all, and we are not in a hurry. ”

Ning Xiguang has a good temper, but the nurse is a little angry, "The officials of this county government are too, and when they see nothing, they don't know how to do it in advance? ”

nagged with Ning Xiguang again, "The nurse originally thought that when the young master became an official, the young lady would be happy, but now it seems that the young lady is going to suffer." ”

Ning Xiguang waved his hand, disappreciating, Fu Siyan also walked in at this moment, and said with a smile; I have made Xiguang suffer today, and I will definitely make up for it again in the future, nurse, don't worry. ”

In the end, she was afraid of the young master who was an official, so the nurse muttered two more sentences, "It sounds good" and "I don't know if the young lady can wait until then." Then he didn't say anything more, and only drove the two of them to the cleaned up flower hall to rest.

Fu Siyan took Ning Xiguang's hand and left.

Ning Xiguang asked him curiously, "Why did you come back so soon? Everything has been arranged? And the official affairs of this county government, have you all been settled?"

Ning Xiguang was a little worried.

She remembers that when new officials take office, they need to personally hand over government affairs with the officials of the old official positions, which is more convenient for the new officials to familiarize themselves with and take over local government affairs; Second, lest there be shady and loopholes in it, so that former officials will bear the blame for the old one.

But now that the former county magistrate had already gone to Beijing with his wife, he left only a mess for them to clean up -- who knows what this mess would include? Will they still owe foreign debts? Will there be a deficit of money? Is there an unjust, false and wrongly decided case, and whether such a thing as selling official titles has occurred? And so on, and so on, and they have no idea what they do. If this is a black pot for others, there is no place to shout grievances.

Ning Xiguang thought of this, and his face was sad, but Fu Siyan was very calm, and on his handsome face, there was a light cloud.

"It's okay, I've been prepared. He said, "You just have to rest in peace, don't worry about these miscellaneous things." If you are guilty of staying in the house, you can also go out for a walk. ”

Ning Xiguang glanced at him with disgust, "What precautions do you have, why don't I know?" Having said that, he looked very distrustful, but Ning Xiguang didn't ask too much, just complained a little and said, "What are you going to do?" I'm not familiar with anything here, so I'd better wait to figure out the situation before going out for a walk." What's more, you have to stand firm first, so that I can go out with confidence, otherwise, I will feel weak when I go out. ”

Fu Siyan smiled, "What is there to be vain, have you done something wrong?"

Seeing Ning Xiguang pinching him in annoyance, he smiled again, his dark eyes were shining, with a warm sun-like glow, looking at her softly. "I don't need to stand firm, just because I am now the head of a county here, I have the appointment documents issued by the imperial court in my hand, and I also have the seal of the county order in my hand, and I can order all the personnel in the county, which is the greatest confidence. In the same way, you are my family member, so naturally you don't need to be weak-hearted, and you will cough up confidence wherever you go. ”

Ning Xiguang was amused by his serious jokes, but his heart was sweet, and he felt that the marshal's ability to talk about love was higher, and he didn't know if he had secretly practiced it in private.

Cryan came out again to brush his sense of existence, "Drop~ Just this little pediatric thing, Lord Marshal needs to practice secretly, and he will be proficient in this way at a casual glance!

Ning Xiguang: "......" who is the soil bun?
