The groom in his thirties is indeed very fierce.

is not only fierce, but also quite scary.

Moreover, Chen Xiao's team is the soap subordinate of the county government to open the way, and this groom official is not afraid at all, but he is even more fierce to these soap subordinates, which is not normal.

There are still people who are more fierce than the government?

Thinking of Chen Wenshan actually saying a detour, it seems that he is really afraid of this middle-aged man and groom?

Turning his head to look, sure enough, Chen Wenshan's face was unnatural and a little nervous!

"Do you hear that? Get out, dare to be Lao Tzu Road again, Lao Tzu is welcome! ”

The groom on the horse continued to drink, waving the whip in his hand, as if he didn't agree with a word, and wanted to hit someone!

At this time, Chen Xiao walked out of the carriage, looked at the middle-aged groom, and said lightly:

"Didn't you see that this is the team of the government and county government? How dare you speak so badly to each other! ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Xiao and said disdainfully:

"Official? County office? It's a fart, even if he saw me, he didn't dare to say anything, what kind of thing are you? Act recklessly! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bantou frowned and shouted: "Bold, dare to be rude to Lord Cheng of the county government!" ”

"County?" The middle-aged groom officer frowned and looked at Chen Xiao and said:

"Are you a new county? Then you listen well, the county order has to be polite to me, not to mention that you are a county prince? Remember, this Qingyang County Lao Tzu is the boss! ”

Chen Xiao looked back at the carriage, Chen Wenshan, who was a little nervous, good guy, it seems that this middle-aged man really didn't lie!

"Dad, I just found out, your county order is quite cowardly?" Chen Xiao whispered.

Chen Wenshan smiled embarrassedly and said: "Forbearance!" ”

Chen snorted and said, "Your father is not just cowardly, he is simply afraid of Su Daqiang!" ”

Chen Wenshan's old face pulled: "Madam, what do you know?" This Su Daqiang is a local rich gentry, and almost all the rich people and squires in Qingyang County wear a pair of pants, I am the county order, what can I do with him? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao probably understood why Chen Wenshan was afraid of this Su Daqiang.

Because in a place, although the government is an official department, some local economy and resources are in the hands of some rich gentry.

The squire mainly refers to a special class of people who are rich, educated, prestigious, and have social status in the local area.

Most of them have been passed by the imperial examination, and have not been officials or fallen scholars.

and local literate landlords, former officials who were idle or dismissed from their posts and retired and returned to their hometowns.

There are also clan elders, and a group of influential figures in the township.

The squire is a commoner, but above the commoner. Not an official, but sometimes no less than an official.

Together with the officials, they are important players in local affairs, and are often referred to as the gentry. In addition, the squires had the opportunity to associate with merchants, and many of them themselves were in business, and they were often called gentlemen.

Therefore, the squire has connections, money, face, and some background.

Locally, similar to the aristocracy. Once they are united, the government is sometimes nothing more than a decoration.

Because these squires were wealthy, they often managed a place instead of the government.

This is especially true in the remote southwest.

In remote places, because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the government is not easy to manage, so there are local big families governing the military and politics.

These big families, known as the Tusi family, are basically big families that have been passed down for many years.

I don't want to say much here, just talking about this county, if this Su Daqiang really wears a pair of pants with the squires and merchants here, then Chen Wenshan is afraid of him, it is really reasonable!

Just thinking about it, Su Daqiang shouted angrily again: "Dog County Cheng, will your team let or not?" If you don't get out of the way, you're welcome! ”

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Damn, I'm used to being rampant!" ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is so rampant, what can you do? Acquaintances, get out of here! Su Daqiang shouted angrily.

Chen Xiao's face sank: "Then you will meet an opponent today, Lao Tzu has always been very rampant, today's road, Lao Tzu will not let you, what can you do?" ”

Su Daqiang stared at him with big eyes, however, Chen Xiao was not afraid at all.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Su Daqiang said coldly: "Okay, good, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, today Lao Tzu rushed to the church, don't entangle with you, wait another day, Lao Tzu will come to the county government to find you!" ”

Su Daqiang said, riding a horse, staggering with the county government team, and continued to move forward, passing by Chen Xiao's carriage, he looked directly at Chen Xiao with a pair of eyes.

Chen Xiao also looked at him, then walked into the carriage and said, "Let's go!" ”

The two teams staggered, and when the carriage passed by the sedan chair, the cry of the woman inside was clearly heard.

Chen Xiao asked suspiciously: "Dad, why do you say that the bride will not live for a month?" ”

Chen Wenshan sighed: "This Su Daqiang is ruthless, lustful and greedy. He married seventeen women, and sixteen but the first woman died.

The reason is very simple, he beats and scolds those concubines, tortures all kinds of them, and beats them to death if he doesn't agree with them, and there has never been a concubine who can last for a month. ”

"That's it, and anyone dares to marry him?" Long Jiuling spoke.

Chen said: "You don't know the nine girls, there is nothing he Su Daqiang can not get from the woman he Su Daqiang fancies." If you don't agree, he kills your whole family. ”

"Is this still enough? Dad, you don't care? Chen Xiao was stunned.

"There's no evidence, although everyone knows it, but they do it cleanly. Besides, how to catch it? I didn't tell you, he is the rich head of the squire in Qingyang County. Chen Wenshan was helpless.

Chen Xiao nodded, probably understanding the situation.

"Son, you shouldn't provoke him, my father manages this Qingyang County, and many times in order to reach an agreement with the squires and rich tycoons, he still relies on Su Daqiang...... Chen Wenshan said.

Chen Xiao disdainfully: "It's just a stinger, just pull it out!" ”

"Stinger? Unplugged? Alas, I'm afraid he will stab me to death......" Chen Wenshan smiled bitterly.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I'll pull it out." ”

Chen Wenshan opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed and didn't speak.

Returning to the county office, a familiar place, made Chen Xiao feel very cordial.

As soon as Long Jiuling came back, he seemed much more comfortable.

The family chatted a lot in the hall, and soon it was getting dark.

"You talk, I'll go and tell the scary people to make something to eat for you, nine girls, Xiao'er, what do you want to eat?" Chen asked.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "Don't be mine, I have a place to eat tonight!" ”

"Huh? Someone invited you? Chan asked.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, Su Daqiang is not married?" I, the newly appointed county magistrate, should always go to this squire's head for a drink? ”

"Oh, son, if you want to go, I'm afraid there will be trouble!" Chen Wenshan was anxious.

Chen Xiao waved his hand: "Dad, the imperial capital is so dangerous, I am still like a fish in water, what can I do in this county?" ”

Chen Wenshan showed no mercy: "But you haven't been demoted yet?" ”

Chen Xiao explained: "That's just temporary, I'll go back to the household department to be an official in a few days!" ”

"Oh, my son is amazing, the household is so wow, the household is so greedy for money, my Chen family has made a fortune, hahaha......" Chen Wenshan laughed, and Chen Xiao was speechless for a while.

Turning around and leaving the hall, after finding Zhou Bantou and Zhao Bantou, he said, "Two old brothers, follow me to the Xi Bar!" ”

As soon as Zhou Bantou and Zhao Bantou heard it, they understood.

The two of them followed Chen Xiao for a while, and they were not afraid of anything, they each got the knife and set off with Chen Xiao!
