Chapter 168: Exchanging Tiger Skins
The square in front of the county government in Yanchipu was full of people, and they were all waiting for the hero's return. After Liangchuan paraded around, he finally came back, people began to set off firecrackers, two big drums were erected in front of the county office, the drum master beat the drum happily, and the suona craftsman blew happily.
When the official led Liang Chuan's hand to the county master, he cleverly stopped the horse, Liang Chuan turned over and dismounted, his legs were so numb that he was unconscious, he stumbled, and almost didn't stand firm. Several officials around hurriedly stepped forward to support Liang Chuan.
Song Guangdou is quite good at corporal Lixian, Liang Chuan can't walk, so he himself greeted him, giving others a good impression of being close to the people, although a pair of old hands are dry, but the strength is still quite strong, supporting Liang Chuan's arm.
"The old man smiled, the boy rode a horse for the first time, and he was not used to it, and his two thighs were no longer obedient." Liang Chuan himself was a little embarrassed, in front of so many people, fortunately he was in good shape, otherwise his legs would start to tremble.
Song Guangdou didn't have the same knowledge as him, and it was enough to do kung fu, so he said with a smile: "Liang Sanlang is talented, and he is a good martial artist, this big insect has been a disaster for a long time, and the official is worried that there is no hero to capture and kill this fang, Sanlang, you can be regarded as relieving the official's worries." ”
"The county magistrate praised it, I also happened to encounter this big insect, and the big insect was about to hurt my villagers in He Lu, so I really had to take action."
Song Guangdou said: "I don't know where the other tiger-fighting heroes are, but today you can come together, and this official will reward you heavily." ”
Liang Chuan's face was still very serious, but he secretly said happily in his heart: "Back to the county master, this big worm was killed by the kid alone." ”
As soon as Liang Chuan's words came out, all the people in the square exclaimed, and even Song Guangdou was surprised. He was already prepared for this Liang Chuan, and gathered a team of good players to fight the tiger, but he didn't expect this kid to go alone, he was really full of guts.
Song Guangdou waved his hand to the left and right, and said, "Come on, bring up the hanging red prepared for the strong man." ”
The two officials carried a load of silver out, covered with a big red flower cloth, and the silver was piled up so high, and the two officials carried it a little hard, three hundred taels of silver.
When Liang Chuan saw the silver, his feet were not numb at that time, and he could walk easily. The two eyes are shining, this is right, if you have money to do things, you will have motivation, and you will be given a pennant, a certificate and five hundred yuan to die.
Three hundred taels of silver is also about 100,000 yuan less, and the family has been a net expenditure recently, and there has been no income to replenish the small treasury for a long time.
Song Guangdou lifted the red cloth, and the white official silver was dazzling, Liang Chuan had never seen this mountain of silver except for seeing this kind of scene in Dashu Mountain, this kind of visual impact was really cool. Money in the bank card looking at a string of numbers may not feel anything, but when you ask for it, take it out and get it in your hand, although it is tens of thousands, but a stack of money looks at people feel comfortable.
"This is a little gift from the county to the tiger heroes, although the money is not much, but it is a little bit of the heart of the people of Xinghua County, Liang Chuanlang does not dare to refuse." Liang Chuan originally shirked it in a pretend, but Song Guangdou looked at it and got off the donkey downhill, pretending to be public and private, and using the public's money as his favor.
"It's the hearts of the villagers, but the kid is disrespectful." Liang Chuan has experienced a lot of kung fu in this kind of scene in his previous life, and this kind of scene has to go through a process, so that everyone's face is bright, although in the end he took the money himself.
"Liang Chuanlang is excellent in martial arts, he is really the patron saint of this county, and there is a vacant position in this county, I don't know if San Lang is interested."
It is undeniable that in the small place of Xinghua, a flat-headed ordinary man suddenly became a captain of the criminal police brigade, and it will be very convenient to move around in the future. But Liang Chuan didn't want to be bound by this unpopular position at all, and he still had a lot to do.
The Great Song Dynasty had an unwritten rule, once he became a Xu official, he would never have a chance to eat the emperor's grain and have an official position. I don't know what Lu Liangchuan will do in the future, but it's not necessary to take a long-term view. Besides, there are a lot of officials who don't have good rules, and if you become the head of this bird, you will have to be tied up on a thief ship every day in the future, how tiring.
Liang Chuan took the money, but as for being the head of the capital, he directly rejected the kindness of the magistrate: "Lord Zhixian, I was originally a small villager in Helu, and I also wanted to contribute a modest contribution to the villagers, but I am used to it." The heavy responsibility is in the body, but I am afraid of living up to the grace of the saint, the county master, this position is related to the people's livelihood, and it should be selected and capable. ”
Liang Chuan said a lot of nonsense, and Song Guangdou had already heard what this kid meant. Song Guangdou also knew that this kid had a lot of heart, and others had already coveted this profession, but he was afraid that he really couldn't look down on it.
Zheng Fucheng was anxious when he heard this, what kind of mess did this kid make, he desperately killed a tiger to get a good future, don't you want it like this? In his opinion, to be a small snake in Xinghua Wangxian County, life is already beautiful, if you want to be windy, happy like a fairy, what else do you want?
Many people around Song Guangdou listened to Liang Chuan's words and felt that this kid must be crazy, he didn't do anything well, what else did he want? Do you continue to go back to farming, many people have seen this kid at the lantern fair, and later I also knew that the magistrate had seen him alone, and invited him to be a guest I don't know what else he said, could it be that Song Guangdou meant. Keep it for someone else?
For a while, everyone's minds were activated, what Liang Chuan didn't want, but in their eyes, it was fragrant, and it would be much easier and more convenient to do things in the future.
Many people in the square brought incense, candles, and gold leaf to burn incense and worship the big tiger, and the villagers were superstitious and no one could stop it. The master instructed the suona and the waist drum team to continue to celebrate, and the county magistrate and the county officials went back to their homes to rest for the time being, and Liang Chuan also followed.
After the big tiger had been visited for a while, several officials quickly carried it into the treasury of the county government. The master instructed the servant to hurry up and invite the master cobbler, the quality of this tiger skin is quite good, while the tiger's corpse has not yet begun to decompose, quickly peel off the tiger skin, the county master has wanted this skin for a long time.
The time is very short, and Liang Chuan, this living room that few people come to visit, is here again. Many people in the county wanted to come to the county master, but they didn't have the opportunity. However, Liang Chuan asked the county magistrate to invite him in twice.
"Liang Chuan." Song Guangdou changed into civilian clothes and sat on a red sandalwood Taishi chair, sipping tea, without looking at Liang Chuan, called San Lang in front of the person, and Liang Chuan in the back.
"Master Zhixian, the little one is here." Liang Chuan lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, which made Song Guangdou look very pleasing to the eye.
This young man has been in the limelight too much recently, the word lantern festival has become famous, and now he is fighting a fierce beast alone to get rid of the big trouble for Xinghua. What surprised him the most was that he actually turned down the profession of Dutou, is it difficult that he still wants to go to the imperial examination, as far as the bad words he wrote, let alone Jinshi, even if he lifts people, he can't pass the exam.
"Let's say, you don't want the position of the head of the capital, this official will take something to make up for you, lest you say that the official is openly breaking his word and distrusting the people of Xinghua." Song Guangdou spoke matter-of-factly, drinking tea in his mouth, which made people feel inexplicably stressed.
Liang Chuan knows the way of this old fritter, he just doesn't want to owe himself favors, and he wants to pretend that he is selling his favors, these officials are all this virtue.
"The little ones don't dare." Liang Chuan buried his head lower, and Song Guangdou squinted, very satisfied. He is quite strange, it stands to reason that even if this peasant in the countryside has read a little book, he will have a feeling of uneasiness when he sees himself coming to the county government, how can this Liang Chuan be as familiar as returning to his own home, and even speak according to his own temper. A few coarse people in the county government have also been trained for a few years before they slowly have this kind of temperament, what the hell.
Liang Chuan continued: "Lord Zhixian, the little one has asked you before, He Lu plans to set up a school, there are some wasteland in the mountains behind the school, and he plans to reclaim it as a school field, and these fields are owned by the court. You don't open your mouth, and the little ones don't dare to act rashly. ”
Song Guangdou thought about it for a while, he said this last time this kid came, but he was too busy to forget it, and said: "Well, this official has promised you before, it is not considered to make up for it, you can talk about what you want, this county can afford it, so as not to rumor that the official is untrustworthy and does not recognize people." ”
Liang Chuan suddenly raised his head at this time, pretending to be a city-savvy face and said, "Master Zhixian, don't you want to reward more money." A small family of eight, all relying on the small. ”
That's right, it's not profitable to be early, it's not something that can be done with money, Song Guangdou heard that Liang Chuan, this kid didn't want to be the head of the capital and wanted money, and his heart was even happier, this kid is still a farmer in the end, don't you know that the head is the head, and the money will continue to come.
"Well, the official sees that you are also a real person, so it is useless for you to keep that tiger, how about this official come forward on behalf of the county and buy the dead tiger, and subsidize you with some money for personal use, what do you think?" Song Guangdou said with an old face as sly as a fox with a sly smile.
"What did the adults say, this tiger should have been handed over to the national treasury, and the whole world is not the emperor's land, and the output on the ground is all owned by the court, and it should be handed over to the county." Liang Chuan said these words with his conscience, and his heart was really dripping blood, but it was a pity that if the good tiger skin was built in a new house and placed on the chair of his own house, it should be very stylish, and now he can only cheapen this dog official.
Song Guangdou's eyes lit up, now that his two term of class examination is about to expire, the new Quanzhou Zhizhou is about to take office, and when the time comes, he will offer this treasure, and then he will overturn the process of subduing this beast and boasting, not afraid of moving hopelessly.
"Okay, then the official will give you another 700 guan, and you will sell the tiger to the government, plus 1,000 guan hanging red, which can be regarded as compensation for you giving up the position of the head of the capital, in addition, you don't need to say about the matter of Xuetian, the official promised you last time, and you are afraid that the official will not be able to break his word."
