Chapter 16: Fighting

After Xu Jingzong ate mapo tofu, he never forgot it when he came back, so he sent someone to buy it.

Liao Quan was very surprised and said, "Why didn't you let people go to Jia Ping'an to buy it?" He wouldn't refuse. ”

At this moment, an official is an official, and there is a class difference between him and the people, so Liao Quan's idea is everyone's consensus.

Let a little official go to Yangjiawu, then Jia Ping'an still has to take out the best white jade tofu?

Of course, Xu Jingzong wanted to do the same, but he was worried that taking tofu directly from Jia Ping'an would cause some unpredictable changes, such as a curse from the broom star or something.

You have to say that Lao Xu thought that Jia Ping'an was his lucky star, but the lucky star is a lucky star, which does not mean that Lao Xu dares to be too close to Jia Ping'an.

Buy from the merchant's hand, then if there is any curse to go to the merchant, Lao Xu feels that he will definitely be safe.

But he couldn't say that, Xu Jingzong said with a righteous face: "The old man is a thorn in history, if the old man opens his mouth to ask for white jade tofu, then Jia Ping'an will be panicked and dare not accept the money." But it's not easy for the people! Buying from a merchant means paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other, without harming people's livelihood. ”

Liao Quan felt that Lao Xu's image was getting taller and taller, and couldn't help but praise: "The envoy is charitable, and the people of Huazhou have the envoy as their parents, and it is really a deep blessing." ”

Parents and parents are talking about local governors. So Liao Quan said that his parents can also get by.

Xu Jingzong was secretly refreshed in his heart, but said humbly: "The old man doesn't have so many ideas, just one, don't disturb the people." ”

Liao Quan arched his hand and said solemnly: "Don't disturb the people, let the people rest, this is the rule of inaction!" Those people say that the envoy only knows how to write articles and poems, and the others don't understand it, which is a big fallacy! ”

He said excitedly: "The way of governance of the envoy is admired by the lower officials, and the lower officials are willing to follow the envoy and serve the Tang Dynasty." ”

Belch!

Is this a complete dog lick? No, outright admirers?

Xu Jingzong is just flaunting himself, but in fact, he can do nothing, just be lazy. But Liao Quan felt that this was the supreme avenue, and he was a virtuous minister if he learned it.

Look at the look of reverence in his eyes, the real thing!

Xu Jingzong only felt that his body was fluttering, thinking that his reputation in Chang'an City was insignificant, but he had gained an admirer here, which was a blessing.

Later, someone went to buy a few pieces of tofu, Xu Jingzong wanted to eat it, but he received an urgent report, saying that there was a big incident below, and two villages were fighting and were going to kill people.

This kind of matter is not small, once it ferments, the magistrate will be held accountable, so Xu Jingzong hurriedly took someone to deal with it.

By the time he arrived, the two villages had been separated, but blood could be seen on the ground.

At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were fierce, and those people felt that farming had no future, and they were willing to join the army to fight for meritorious service, which was the fierce folk style in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it was easy to cause contradictions among the people.

Zhao Cong, the county commander of Zheng County, stayed awake all night, his eyes were blistering, and he said: "The lower officials have not handled it properly, and they are tired of making the king." ”

He said it politely, but he was a little detached.

He has some relationship with the people of the Shandong Shi clan, and naturally has no good impression of Lao Xu, the opponent of the gate valve family. plus the reputation of Lao Xu's traitorous minister...... Especially a few days ago, someone from Chang'an City came and said to him the words that Lao Xu was openly loyal to the prince outside the palace gate, Zhao Cong looked down on Xu Jingzong even more.

In these years, the emperor is the emperor, but the emperor is just a fart. Didn't you see that when the clan chronicles were repaired, the old Li family of the royal family could only lean back?

It can be seen that in the eyes of the people of the world, those gate valve families are the most powerful, and the emperor can only be relegated to the back.

So the attitude of the officials towards the emperor is very subtle, on the one hand, the emperor must maintain respect, and on the other hand, they feel that this is the case.

Therefore, flattery is unacceptable, everyone must straighten their waists, this is the minister.

Xu Jingzong looked at the villagers on both sides and said in a deep voice, "Tell me." ”

Zhao Cong said: "On the left is Wanglin Village, on the right is Xiapu Village, and the two sides fought for land last night......

Xu Jingzong frowned, "Aren't all the fields divided?" Fight for what? ”

Datang currently implements the equalization system, and when the people reach adulthood, the government will grant land, rather than the people seeking land themselves.

Zhao Cong became more and more disdainful, "There is little land in Huazhou!" ”

This mallet, when you come to Huazhou, don't you know that there are not many fields in Huazhou?

"Less fields?" Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Then give them a clear explanation." Whoever is whose land is clearly distinguished. ”

Zhao Cong glanced at him, "Envoy, these kinds of disputes are all justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it is not clear." ”

The so-called clean officials are difficult to decide family affairs, and this sentence is not wrong to be used in such disputes. The local government can't reason with these people at all.

Xu Jingzong walked over slowly, stood in the middle, and said, "Old man Xu Jingzong! ”

Hundreds of villagers on both sides were agitated for a moment, and then quieted down.

This is a good sign, Xu Jingzong said with satisfaction: "All are divided, go back and let the local government re-inspect the fields of the two villages, the old man hereby guarantees impartiality, if it is wrong......"

He pointed at Zhao Cong and said, "If it's wrong, the old man will make him regret his mistakes!" ”

This kind of promise is good for the people, but it is Zhao Cong who is responsible, and once he makes a mistake, Lao Xu only needs to use him to calm the people's anger.

But isn't this just throwing the pot?

Lao Xu's black pot flew into the air, and it happened to be buckled on Zhao Cong's head,

Zhao Cong's face was slightly pale, and just as he wanted to speak, Lao Xu had already gotten on the horse, "There are many things in the state, the old man will go back first, and there will be something to tell you later." ”

As soon as he left, the people became agitated.

"Zhao Mingfu, our Xiapu Village is missing five acres of land, how can you say this?"

"Fart, those five acres of land belong to our village!"

The fire in the villages on both sides was rekindled, and Zhao Cong hurried over to dissuade him.

Shout!

I don't know who started throwing things, and Zhao Cong was overwhelmed by debris in an instant.

"Mingfu!"

Those little officials and miscellaneous servants were dumbfounded, and hurried to save Zhao Cong.

Xu Jingzong, who hadn't gone far, looked back and saw this scene, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, thinking that the old man was really wise, so he avoided it.

But this matter has to be solved!

After returning to the state office, Xu Jingzong has been pondering this matter.

A small official came in, "Envoy, can you still eat the white jade tofu?" ”

Xu Jingzong nodded, and the little official went to tell the cook to make tofu.

The chef prepares to cook the tofu and the dumplings together to make individual flavorful dishes.

Dumplings are soup cakes, that is, noodles, noodles.

He picked up the white jade tofu, sniffed it, frowned, and said, "Why does it taste weird?" ”

Everyone saw white jade tofu for the first time, so they thought it was this and this taste.

But it's Mayday! It's already hot.

This tofu ...... It's changed, if Jia Ping'an is here, he must say throw it away. Of course, some people will ask, stinky tofu also tastes bad? But stinky tofu is not this kind of flavor changing method, so it is not dry at all.

Later, the dumplings were sent over, and Xu Jingzong ate them, probably because he had a talent for eating stinky tofu, and praised: "This taste is interesting, I can't say it...... It's completely different from that mapo tofu, interesting, interesting, appreciating the chef. ”

In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen and went to the latrine.

Pull!

Xu Jingzong, who pulled down this time, was dizzy, and when he pulled it for the third time, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked people to find Lang Zhonglai.

Datang has a night ban, but for Lao Xu, this is not a thing. Lang Zhong came later, and as soon as he was diagnosed, he said that he probably ate the wrong thing.

After taking the decoction, my stomach was still very uncomfortable, but what was even more uncomfortable was the feeling of weakness.

"Envoy!"

Before dawn, an official came, bringing bad news.

"Xiapu Village and Wanglin Village are fighting again."

it!

Xu Jingzong was angry and asked weakly, "What about Zhao Cong?" Is he on the belly of a dead woman? ”

These words were mean, and the person who came was stunned for a moment, "The Ming Mansion has already gone, and he was hit by a stone on his forehead, and he is dizzy at the moment!" ”

This is for help!

"How's it going?" Xu Jingzong was so weak that he couldn't move.

"Now the people of the two villages have gone back to the Ming Mansion when they see that they have been stunned, but they have to fight for the next two days, and if they don't kill people, they won't count."

"A bunch of brutes!" Xu Jingzong felt that these were Diao Min, but if he didn't deal with it, those opponents in Chang'an City would take advantage of the situation to get him.

What to do?

He remembered it, but his body was weak.

In an instant, he thought of Jia Ping'an. The boy with the aura.

"Go, go to Yangjiawu to get the broom star, no, invite Jia Ping'an."

At this moment, he felt that he needed a think tank, and the most outstanding one was Jia Ping'an.

He slept groggily, and when he was woken up, he found that it was getting bright, Jia Ping'an was outside, and there was no one around.

The power of the broom star is still invincible!

But Xu Jingzong felt that it was inappropriate.

"What about people?" He shouted, his voice still weak.

It took a while for two Bai Zhi to come, looking at Jia Ping'an with fear in their eyes.

- Bai Zhi is the official entourage after leaving Beijing as an official.

Xu Jingzong sneered: "Fortunately, it is Jia Ping'an who came, if it is someone else, you don't know if you kill the old man." So, what does the old man want you to do? Get lost! ”

The two white faces turned pale, and they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Get out!" Xu Jingzong waved his hand, and after they were driven away, he said comfortably: "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise I don't know if I was hurt one day." ”

After speaking, he slowly looked at Jia Ping'an and asked, "They are all afraid of you, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Okay." Jia Ping'an felt that this was not bad, at least no one dared to interrogate him, so that his fake would be completely safe.

Why wasn't this young man afraid of the old man's appearance?

Xu Jingzong was a little depressed, and wanted to have some time to study, but Jia Ping'an was thinking about how long it would take for Sister Wu to come out of the Ganye Temple.

After a long time, Xu Jingzong saw that Jia Ping'an was still calm, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really an outstanding one." The old man called you here today because there was an incident, and there were two villages in the west of the city fighting for the fields...... But Huazhou Shaotian, how can they suppress their disputes? ”

Jia Ping'an asked the names of the two villages, and couldn't help but be happy.

Yang Deli gossiped about this matter to him a few times, and the two villages have been fighting for five acres of land for many years, but they have never been able to find a solution.

Jia Ping'an didn't want to care about it, but Lao Xu gave up his plan to suppress him in the temple, and he also said good things for him, this shield is very powerful! Otherwise, Chang'an's means would have come down long ago.

Jia Ping'an felt that he was a person with clear grievances, so he decided to help Lao Xu, "Envoy, can you go to the scene to have a look?" ”

"The old man couldn't move." Xu Jingzong shook his head.
