Chapter 128: Amulet
"The soldiers are rude, and they are offended, and they still want to be treated by the husband."
Fifth Lun invited Ren Guang to sit in his residence, but in the place where the lights were on, he saw that Ren Boqing was in his forties and nearly fifty years old, with a long beard and a loyal face. Although he was a small village chief, he was different from the dirty village officials he had seen along the way, he kept his crown and clothes clear and clean, and he was cautious and polite after entering the house.
Ren Guang said: "It's really a husband who doesn't know how to be flexible, the law of food is cloudy, the horses are passed on, the horses are made, and the horses are all stables, each horse can eat one and a half buckets of grass a day, and the horse of the fifth doctor is a horse, and it really shouldn't be eaten only with grass." ”
Wu Lun shook his head: "That's the rule of the rich years, I saw a lot of drought in the front team on the road, and we don't travel hundreds of miles every day, and the horsepower consumption is not large, how can we make the dog eat people without knowing how to check it, and the one and a half buckets of corn saved, it is the ration of a few people." ”
What's more, what the Yue Cavalry Camp asked for, but it was dozens of stones, and this group of guys was just cheating in the name of Fifth Lun to get benefits.
Ren Guang couldn't help but have a good impression of the little doctor in front of him, and said goodbye: "I have never seen such a kind and good-talking angel as the doctor." ”
Fifth Lun said: "I can't hide it, but it's the first time I've been sent to the edict, I don't know how others are, so why don't you tell me about it?" ”
Ren Guang hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Then don't hide it from the doctor, I have been a village official for many years, and I have seen all kinds of envoys." ”
"During the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the 'Taiyi Messenger' and the 'Five Emperors' who rushed to various places to replace the Han seal with a new seal. However, if the bribes given by the local officials were not enough, the envoys reported that the officials were unwilling to be replaced, which provoked the imperial court to arrest and imprison, and did not even let go of the half-printed seals of the minor officials. ”
Later, the frequent travel to the place was led by the five generals, who rode in a Qianwen car, drove six horses, carried the feathers of the birds, and wore great clothes. In order to solicit auspicious people from all over the world, practice customs, and collect eulogies, in response to the Son of Heaven's ascension. If the local officials can't hand over the auspicious money, or report the disaster, it will be a punishment. ”
Such an example, the fifth Lun heard in the court, Emperor Ping and Wang Mang first succeeded to the throne when the world praised, all counties sang praises of virtue, but Langya, Guangping two places are not, Langya Dayin was imprisoned, and Guangping Xiang Banzhi escaped, because he was the younger brother of Ban Jieyu in the Han Dynasty, and Wang Mang was small.
"But after a few years, when it came to Tianfeng, the court suddenly forbade the place to offer auspicious rui again, and some officials were closed to the news, so they continued to offer talismans when they met the messenger to please them, but they were caught by the five Wei Si orders."
In the past, he was guilty of not reporting Xiangrui, but now he is privately reporting Xiangrui's guilt, and the order is changed every day, who is looking for reason, anyway, these unlucky people were all filled by Chen Chong.
However, in recent years, "angels" have been dispatched more and more frequently, either to give local county and county magistrates the title of general or school captain, or to thoroughly investigate corruption and rebellion in various places.
Ren Guang said: "I, a small pavilion in Xixiang, sometimes can come to ten groups of envoys a month, but in recent years, the place has not been peaceful, and the envoys have brought more and more guards, often one or two hundred. There was no existing food supply in the warehouse, there were not enough horses to drive the chariots, and those who did not want to walk in vain took them from the people, and requisitioned the chariots and horses on the road by virtue of the charms. In the end, he didn't even keep a single baht, and claimed that it was the supplier's honor. What's more, he even forcibly took the wife and daughter of the little official to sleep with him. ”
Fifth Lun understood: "No wonder along the way, the local officials saw us swaggering through the market, like seeing tigers and wolves." ”
"But Ren Qifu knows how to be flexible, so even if I don't come forward, Boqing can solve the dispute."
Ren Guang smiled bitterly: "The three-fold humerus is just a good doctor, and I used to resist unreasonable orders like the husband, and I was beaten as a result." ”
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms, on which were faint marks that had fallen a long time ago.
"The little townsman has nowhere to redress his grievances when he is wronged, so he can only suffer in vain."
Thanks to his family's wealth, if he encounters such a situation in the future, he will simply break his wealth and avoid disasters. In this world, if the grassroots officials want to survive, they also need family wealth and wisdom, or they will not be wronged, kill the messenger and burn the place, and go up the mountain and fall into the grass.
Wu Lun sighed and said: "It's not easy, I can't control the other envoys, it's just these soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, I will try my best to order them next." ”
"Sure enough, it's a virtuous doctor."
After the two chatted for a while, Wu Lun heard that Ren Guang was walking all over Nanyang when he was in his prime, and when he was very familiar with this county, he asked him: "Dare to ask Boqing, does the former team county have a 'talisman'?" ”
Ren Guang was stunned: "What is an amulet?" ”
Fifth Lun said: "There is a proverb in the previous dynasty, rather lose 2,000 stones, no negative heroes, all counties have county officials to avoid the giants, don't dare to disobey and offend, I don't know if the front team can have?" ”
This talisman is the ridicule of the fifth lun, and it is also a phenomenon that does exist, and it is the most powerful, extremely rich and noble family of famous eunuchs. Take his hometown lieutenant as an example, there must be the Marquis of Qiongcheng Mansion and the Marquis Mansion of Xiaoxiang on the talisman, and now after the integration of the Fifth Lun, he is among the second-rate, and he is backed by the county chief Yin Zhang Zhan, which can be regarded as a family that cannot be provoked.
As for the northern land he has visited, the Yiyang Hou Fu clan in Niyang, the Yicheng Hou Gan clan in Yuzhi, and the Zhang clan of the former Fuping Marquis of Tewu, there must be a name and surname on the talisman.
After the fifth Lun explained, Ren Guang hesitated, and the fifth Lun smiled: "I am not the deputy governor of the state, nor am I the commander of the county Yin, and I can't afford to provoke the Hao family, just drink and gossip, curious to ask, if you meet a real hero, and even want to make friends with one or two, Boqing said that it doesn't matter." ”
Ren Guangsui said: "The front team is not as good as Guanzhong, there are no generations of illustrious scholars, but there are many local tyrants. ”
He stretched out a finger: "If you have to say that the county officials dare not provoke the Hao family, in fact, there is only one household." ”
Ren Guangdao: "It is the Li family of Wancheng, who started in business for generations. Nanyang produced iron, and after the decline of the Wankong clan, the Li clan replaced it and became Nanyang Daye. Nowadays, there are still many children and guests who serve as iron officials for the imperial court, and have accumulated a huge fortune of up to 10,000 yuan. ”
Not only that, the Li family is also an official in the court, and the head of the family serves as the "Zongqing Master" under the national teacher, and the head of the royal clan, Zhilu is similar to the Taizhong doctor of the fifth Lun.
This is the first strong in the front team, relying on the wealth accumulated over generations, taking the middle and upper class route.
The fifth Lun was still unsatisfied, so he asked about the second-rate heroes who were lower, and the county could pinch them as long as they wanted, but the county did not dare to offend them.
That's a lot, Ren Guang came one by one, a total of more than a dozen, what Xinye Yin Clan, Deng Clan, Huyang Fan Clan. There is also a Caiyang native Liu Bosheng, who is not rich in family background, but simply relies on his personal courage and charm, and is also well-known in the county, and there are often children of light chivalry in the township who do not produce and shout to go to the place.
Fifth Lun is a little sleepy when he listens, that's it?
Ren Guang said that the Xinye Yin clan is a large landowner, with seven or eight hundred hectares of land, and more than 1,000 slaves and maids, and is considered to be "more powerful than Bangjun"; The ancestors of the Deng family have been assassins and captains for several generations, and they are prosperous; Liu Bosheng is known as the hero of the former team...... They are indeed local powerhouses, but if they are put in Guanzhong, they are all small.
No matter how rich the Li family of Wancheng is, no matter how much it has a relationship in the court, it is still inferior to the Marquis of Qiongcheng; The land, vain, and wealth of the Yin clan cannot be compared with Zhang Chun of Tewu County; The Deng family is not even worthy of lifting the feet of the Maoling Ma family; And that Liu Bosheng sounds like a low-profile version of the original Guanzhong hero.
Rich people, high-ranking officials, big landlords, and heroes, the heroes and heroes of each county are basically these types, and they each occupy an ecological niche. The heroes of different states and counties are compared horizontally, and it is impossible to talk about who is stronger than whom, and the heroes are still in the initial stage, and no one can do it across states and counties anyway. Everyone stands on the same starting line, waiting for the gunshots to sound and the moment when the troubled times come, and make their own choices.
After that, the brothers go up the mountain, each with their own ability, who can jump up, who sways and falls, depending on personal ability and luck, the gap will widen rapidly in just a few years.
After chatting at night, Ren Guang said goodbye, and the fifth Lun wrote down everything he said, and this trip was not in vain.
Whoever he said, he would come. Early the next morning, before they had time to rush to Wancheng, a "tour guide" took the initiative to send them to the door.
A tall and slender man, with a group of servants, carrying meat, wine and gifts, reported to himself outside the office: "Wanren Li Tong, I heard that Kenub passed through here, and I came to pay a visit!" ”
……
Li Tong is the sister-in-law of the Li family who Ren Guang said last night as "the first strong in the front team", and his family is really well-informed, and they have not yet arrived in Wancheng, so they took the initiative to come to the door.
Li Tongcai is in his twenties, and his initial impression of Wulun is that he is extremely tall, at least eight and a half feet, which is equivalent to more than one meter and nine in later generations.
However, Li Tong did not let the short Fifth Lun's neck be embarrassed, but bowed down very wisely: "My father is the master of the national teacher under the national teacher in the court, and he often mentions the heroic appearance of the young man of Kenub. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Lun remembered that when he went to the National Teacher's Mansion twice, he did see a tall official as Li Tong coming in and out.
Li Tong moved out of his house because of Liu Xin's subordinates, to tell Wu Lun that we are our own people, although we ...... National teacher Liu Xin is now cold.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the Li family has a big business, and the dozen or so second-rate heroes in the front team don't have time to contact them one by one, but the Li family can go back and forth first.
Fifth Lun then smiled and went to help Li Tong up: "The national teacher treats me like a nephew, we don't need a doctor, Bojun to call Shengfen, just call the word, my word is Boyu, I don't know how to call you?" ”
Li Channel: "The word is 'dimension'. ”
Not to mention anything else, this word alone amuses the fifth lun.
Dimension? Wonderful, I just don't know if it's a three-thorn ape or a two-thorn ape?
