In the back hall of Shangyuan County, the eldest man Zhang Dongguan is hugging left and right.

A concubine peeled off the newly arrived Yangzhou crab and used a silver spoon to dig the crab roe and feed him, while the other concubine picked up a wine glass from time to time and fed him a sip of his daughter's red.

'Jinling is a good trickster, and the turtle's son has just returned to Sichuan. ’

Zhang Zhixian was extremely happy, and a rural accent appeared in his heart.

Who knew that at this time, the defeated door came in, presented a bronzing silk face and said: "Master, Liu Yuanwai asks to see you." ”

"What about Liu Yuanwai? Outside the staff surnamed Liu in Jinling City, I don't know how much verbose. Zhang Zhixian accidentally brought out a sentence of rural accent, hurriedly picked up a napkin, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and changed to Nanjing official dialect: "Although Lord Ben is a puffed bag, but a member of the district dares to disturb me to eat?" ”

"It's Liu Yuanwai from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce." Menzi hurriedly added.

"Oh, you're a guest." Zhang Zhixian immediately changed his expression, pinched the concubine's tender tofu-like cheeks, got up and said, "Change clothes, see guests in the main hall." ”

The Dongting Merchant Gang has great energy, and he can speak in the north and south of Kyoto, but it is not something that he dares to offend as a small magistrate.

~~

A moment later, Zhang Zhixian hurriedly came out to meet Liu Yuanwai.

After some pleasantries, the latter made his intentions clear.

Of course, it is inevitable to say that he is a poor victim, as if he is the second person in the Dongting Merchant Gang, and he is a little white rabbit who has only been persecuted.

"That's right." When Zhang Zhixian heard the defendant's name, he rubbed his fingers with a bitter face and said: "That Tang Youde has also seen it in this county, he is the same as Zunjia, he has a crown and belt, and this county can only pass on him and cannot detain him." ”

A few years ago, in order to raise money and food to fight against the Japanese, the Nanjing Ministry issued thousands of official notices in one breath, no matter what your background, as long as you donate enough money, you can be crowned a righteous official and get a crown and belt. Zhang Yuanwai, who was a member of Deheng, and Liu Yuanwai, who was a member of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, both bought a righteous official from the Wupin Wailang.

Although they can't really be officials, with this crown, they can interact with officials on an equal footing like this.

Chicken thieves such as Tang Youde, naturally they will not let go of such a rare opportunity, and he also tried his best to buy the righteous official crown belt of Zhengbapin Taichang Temple Xielulang. Although the righteous official of Zhengbapin is inconspicuous, what he is guarding against is this moment, so that he will not be ruined by a small county order.

"The surname Tang will be put aside for ......the time being," Liu Yuanwai said with a dark face: "The kid surnamed Zhao is a white body, let's take him first." ”

"That Zhao Gongzi has been very famous recently, and even the little grandfather ate his deflated face before." I heard Zhang Zhixian shirk again.

"Don't worry, old parents, I have already investigated clearly, and the little grandfather relied on the help of his cheap brother Zhao Jin before." Liu Yuanwai hurriedly explained: "At that time, Zhao Jin was the imperial history of Nanjing, and if he really wanted to fight against Wei Guogong, although he couldn't hurt the old man's roots, he was also annoyed, so he would give in a step." As for what kind of atonement is made, it is just a false rumor, and it is an extreme exaggeration. ”

"Oh, really?" Zhang Zhixian seemed to have itchy fingers, but he kept rubbing his thumb with his index and middle fingers.

"Yes. And Zhao Jin has been transferred to Hebei to raise horses, what else do adults have to scruple about? Liu Yuanwai persuaded again, and then gritted his teeth and said: "In addition, I didn't sue him for money, just to seek justice!" If the adults help me recover all the losses, I am willing to give the county 5,000 taels of student assistance! ”

"Hiss......" Zhang Zhixian's fingers moved in a different posture, this was settling accounts.

After a little calculation, he said with a dry laugh: "The entire county school must be rebuilt, five thousand taels is not enough, let alone three thousand taels." ”

"Yes, but you have to let me vent my bad anger." Liu Yuanwai nodded heavily.

"Yes, pay a deposit of two thousand taels first...... Oh no, bursaries. Zhang Zhixian's old face smiled into a chrysanthemum and said: "This county will immediately issue a ticket to detain people!" ”

"Deal!" Liu Yuanwai seemed to hate it very much.

After accepting the two thousand tickets for the two sessions, Zhang Zhixian finally played the ticket with a smile.

After sending Liu Yuanwai away, he asked Li Jiutian to be called.

Sooli was going to live in the county office, and Li Jiutian soon came to the signing room and knelt down to obey the order.

Zhang Zhixian sat behind the bookcase, handed him a ticket card with undried ink and said, "Take the person on this head, and lock it up in the class room for a few days before passing through the hall." ”

"Yes, sir!" Li Jiutian was overjoyed when he heard this. Whether there is a ticket or not, it is a world of difference for Xu officials! Yes, on behalf of the county, it is not a crime to kill people; If you don't, you are disturbing the people without permission, and it is not illegal to be killed......

He hurriedly stepped forward and took the card with both hands, wanting to see how much oil and water the fat sheep on it had.

"Ah, Zhao Hao from Caijia Lane?!" Who knew that after just one glance, he almost lost his soul:

"The little one doesn't dare to mess with that Tai Sui, he even dares to beat the little grandfather's people......"

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Zhixian slapped the table and scolded angrily: "You barbarous official, is this your place to bargain?" If you can't get someone, wait to eat the board! ”

"Alas, it's ......" Li Jiutian dared to disobey the order of the eldest master, so he had to hold the ticket card that wanted to kill people, and retreated with a sad face.

~~

That night, Li Jiutian was so sad that he didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, he changed into civilian clothes, did not take white labor, and came to Caijia Lane alone to probe his brain.

Caught off guard, someone slapped him in the back, which scared him and almost sat on the ground.

"Nine days, what the hell is the idea?" saw that it was Yu Jiachang standing behind him with a strange expression.

"I'm scared to death...... Li Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Old Jiachang, is the son at home?" ”

"Childe went out to escape the summer, and he hasn't seen anyone for a few days." Yu Jiachang looked at Li Jiutian vigilantly and said, "What is the matter with you looking for Gongzi?" ”

"Discuss something with him......" Li Jiutian heard that Zhao Hao was not at home, but he was a lot more relieved, so he smiled at Yu Jiachang and said: "It's the same with you." ”

Then he pulled Yu Jiachang to a secluded place and explained the events of last night clearly.

"Naturally, I don't dare to detain my son to go to the squatting room, but my arms can't reach my thighs, and the eldest man has spoken, what can I do?" Seeing that Yu Jiachang's face darkened, Li Jiutian took himself out first, and then cautiously suggested: "My eldest master is well-known for being reasonable, and the son is now quite wealthy, go and reason with him in person, or let the small one pass on a word, it should be able to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things." ”

"It's not for me to decide." Yu Jiachang snorted and said, "Looking back, let people report to the son, you wait for the reply." ”

"Okay, please do it as soon as possible." Li Jiutian begged with a sad face: "At most four days, I will eat the board......"

~~

In the depths of Xiaocang Mountain, there is a lotus lake, and at this time Zhao Hao is wearing a hat and competing with two apprentices to fish.

Wu Yu walked over, leaned in his ear, and reported Yu Jiachang's words to Zhao Hao.

"Let Yu Jiachang tell Li Jiutian that I will show up on time on September 18 and will not go a day earlier."

"Master doesn't have to pay attention." Hua Shuyang smiled and said: "Someone sued our Hua family ten years ago, and the magistrate has changed three times, and he has never opened a church. ”

"That is, he didn't kill people and set fires, so what should he do?" Wang Wuyang also disagreed: "In Taicang, officials and errands all walk around us. ”

"Okay, count you cows."

Zhao Hao laughed, and suddenly saw the fish drift shaking violently, so he lifted the fishing rod in a dashing manner and threw a three-pound big carp ashore.

He really didn't move in Kokura Mountain, and he didn't pay attention to any summons from the county.

ps. The fourth is to ask for a monthly pass recommendation ticket ~~
