was robbed of a few words by Da Hanjia, and Gu Qian couldn't help but sneer.

"Brother Gu, watch your step. Gu Xiaojiu held back a smile behind him and helped Gu Qian weakly.

Gu Qian stomped on the wooden staff in his hand and glared at him.

The group entered the village in silence, and soon came to the widest street in the village, the middle of the street was paved with stone slabs, and at the end of the stone slabs was a big mansion door, not far from the house door, they saw the short-beaten men with wooden sticks in their hands, and when they saw the big man Jia coming with a few strangers, he couldn't help asking: "Li Dazhuang, who is this?"

"It's the guy with the Yongde ticket number in the county seat, who talks business with the second master!" Da Hanjia, that is, Li Dazhuang, raised his voice.

"Who doesn't know that Nanxiang is now closed off the mountain, what kind of business are they coming to talk about?" someone said suspiciously: "It's not a spy sent by the government, right?"

One sentence made Li Dazhuang say that it was right, now that Nanxiang and Beixiang are not peaceful, who would dare to come to the door to do business? Thinking of this, he paused, and the big horse horizontal knife blocked in front of Gu Qian and the others, "Few, you won't lie to me, right?"

"Brother Da Zhuang, what good is it for us to lie to you?" Zhang Yong stepped forward and said with a smile: "We came all the way in, but we didn't leave your side, what do you think we are probing? Besides, who will have trouble with the silver when the rich and noble are in danger? Could it be that you have closed the mountain for so many days and have not done business? What do so many brothers eat and drink?"

Zhang Yong has been working in the yamen all the year round, and his mouth is called a sharp one, and he suddenly confused these men, and seeing that these people gradually believed his words, Zhang Yong said again: "You all have sticks in your hands, but we are bare-handed, are so many of you still afraid that our three account office mates will not succeed?" I think you don't be stunned, hurry up and take us to see the second master, don't blame us for delaying the big thing!"

This time he beat and pulled, which made several men stunned.

"There are two masters in charge of everything, and they won't let us in!" Gu Qian saw that the attitudes of several people were loose, and he lowered his face and snorted.

Unexpectedly, this sound really frightened the big men, only to see them look at each other, and after being silent for a while, they arched their hands, and said that they were offended and got out of the way.

Seeing that these people were soft, Li Dazhuang raised his head proudly and led a few people to the gate of the mansion.

Before Gu Qian and the others entered the door, Yao Xiwang, the second leader of the Nanxiang Small Silver Kiln Association, was worried.

The siege of the county government has been going on for several days, and the big bosses have also been arrested, and they were thinking about waiting for the government to take some action to end the matter, but there is no news at all, the small silver kiln is currently suspended, and many villagers are guarding the periphery of Nanxiang, and the money and rice are being consumed day by day, and the federation can still support it in a short time, so what can be done after a long time? What should the big bosses who are locked up in prison do? What should they do with the scribes who were taken captive?

Every time Yao Er's family thinks of this, he feels that one head and two big, the people don't fight with the officials is a wise saying handed down by the ancestors, if it weren't for the county lord surnamed Wang, who would have rebelled? But the surname Wang ran away, the big boss was arrested, and the entire Qingjiang County government ran away, how can this mess be cleaned up?

Yao Er's head of the family was gray-haired, and he sent people out to inquire about the news all day long, but Nanxiang is a long way away from Qingjiang County, even if the people he sent know the news of Gu Qian's appointment, they will have to delay for a while when they come back, not to mention that Gu Qian entered the government at night and went out lightly during the day, and he didn't even wear official clothes, so naturally he couldn't attract the attention of the spies.

However, the Qingjiang County Ya currently has Gu Tai in charge, and I am afraid that the news of the new master's appointment will soon spread. It's just that at this time, Yao Er's family hasn't gotten the news yet, and Gu Qian doesn't have the leisure to beat gongs and drums to announce to the world that he is the new county commander, so in Yao Er's sad face, Gu County Commander took off his hat and swaggered into the mansion.

"The second master, there are a few guys with Yongde ticket numbers in the county town outside, saying that they are here to exchange silver. Seeing that a few people looked calm, the porter couldn't figure out the details of them, and he didn't dare to wait slowly, so he asked a few people to sit down for a while, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to the back to report.

Yao Xiwang heard that someone from the county was coming, first he was stunned, and then a trace of joy appeared on his face, no matter what, these people from the county can always bring him some new news.

"Invite them to sit in the lobby for a while, and I'll be right there. Yao Xiwang twisted his beard, first instructed the gatehouse, and after the gatehouse went out, he said to the chief attendant outside: "Go and invite the three masters back immediately, just say that someone from the county is coming!"

The chief followed the voice, Yao Xiwang paced a few steps in the room, and after preparing the draft, he walked out of the room with unhurried steps.

"You drink tea. After the porter delivered the tea, Zhang Yong hurriedly gave it to Gu Qian.

Gu Qian was not polite, sat down at the top of the guest seat, and tapped the table twice to express his gratitude. Zhang Yong followed Gu Qian all the way down, and felt more and more that this county master was not surprised, unfathomable, seeing him so polite, Zhang Yong didn't dare to hold it up, and sat down with a smile.

A cup of hot tea was put to lukewarm, and Yao Er's master finally appeared.

"The second master is here!" With the words of Chang Sui, Gu Qian and the others turned their heads to look, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties walking in with square steps.

Gu Qian gave Zhang Yong a look, and confirmed that this person was the second leader of the Nanxiang Federation, then stood up and smiled: "I've seen the second master." ”

"You may be seated, but you are welcome. Yao Er arched his hand and smiled politely.

Gu Qian saw him give up his seat, so he naturally sat down, this free and easy, or heartless style made Yao Er's family stunned, this person is too familiar, right? I don't know what kind of place this is? Thinking of this, Yao Er's face was a little unsightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yong coughed lightly.

"Zhang Ergou, you have a bad voice?" asked Gu Qian with a smile.

"No, no. Zhang Yong hurriedly took a sip of tea and smiled like he bared his teeth, "It's just a little itchy, just drink tea and press it." ”

Gu Xiaojiu, who was sitting at the bottom, saw this scene and burst into joy.

Seeing that a few people were so unruly, Yao Er's face became even more ugly, he twisted his beard, looked at the few people below, and said, "I heard that a few guys are the guys with the Yongde ticket number in the county, but what is the evidence?"

"It's all from the villagers, where do you need any certificates. Zhang Yongfu smiled and said: "My home is in Tianshui Village near here, can this local accent also be fake?"

"It's true that you speak a local accent, but these two speak official dialect. Yao Er's master smiled and said, "Are they also from their hometown?"

"Don't hide the second master, our brother is originally from Taihu County, Anqing Prefecture, and came to Qingjiang County at the invitation of the owner of the Yongde ticket number, my surname is Gu Xingqi, everyone calls me Gu Qi, this is my brother Gu Jiu. ”

"The owner of the Yongde ticket number is from Anqing? How do I remember that he is from Nanzhili?"

"Nanzhili and Anqing are not far apart, and we are fellow villagers and in-laws. No matter how Yao Er's master asked, Gu Qian was a face with an old god, which made Yao Er's master more and more incomprehensible to him.

Just when Yao Er's family was trying to find another way, a man's hearty voice suddenly came from the door: "I heard that Mr. Gu Qi is the newly hired account office of Yongde Ticket Number, why is he dressed in a short dress?"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look, and saw a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old standing at the door, who was long, broad-shouldered, narrow-backed, and looked quite strong.

The chief at the door saluted on horseback, and called the three masters.

Gu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he found that this third-master was walking with a strong step, his eyes were capable, and he was by no means at the same level as the second-in-command who was sitting in the first place.

It turns out that there is still such a character hidden in Nanxiang? Gu Qian became interested in the three masters, but he still had to pass the level in front of him, so he got up and arched his hand, and said, "Gu Qi has seen the three masters!"

The third master also arched his hand, looked at Gu Qian with a scrutinizing gaze and said: "Although Mr. Gu said that he is the new account office of Yongde ticket number, but you have neither a letter nor a certificate, so I don't want to doubt Mr.'s origin, but as an account office, does Mr. Gu show us a hand?"

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the person outside walked in with an abacus and an account book.

"I just came back from the kiln, this is a running account, I wonder if Mr. can settle it?"

Gu Qian secretly complained when he saw the abacus, but he didn't show it on his face, but said to the third master with a smile: "The accounts on the kiln are not very appropriate for me, an outsider, right?"

The third master glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Isn't Mr. afraid?"

Gu Qian's heart was crossed: "Joke! There is no account book in this world that is difficult to hold my Gu!"

"In that case," the third master smiled loudly and said, "Please!"
