Oshiji sneakily came into the house and reported the incident of last night to Mrs. Lin as it was.

Lin Niangzi's face was gloomy, and she sent the priest back, and then she said to herself in a dark voice: "Cai Lao Thief doesn't know how far away a nephew dares to provoke this lady, don't give him some powerful tastes." Hum! ”

……

Dingtao County is a medium-sized county in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are 17,800 households in the county. At this time, the population of the Great Song Dynasty was close to 50,000, and it was normal for a medium-sized county town to have a population of 50,000 or 60,000.

Although Tian Shiyi had met the prefect of Hangzhou, it was in the back house, and the real Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty was the first time he had seen it.

Outside the county office is the public hall, and the left and right sides are equipped with the government room, the class room and the study room, and the cell is slightly far away from the county office because of the relationship between function and environment. Behind the county government is the residence of the county magistrate.

The Great Song Dynasty did not clearly stipulate that the magistrate must live in the county ya, but most of them still chose to live in the county ya. First, it is more convenient to go to and from work, and secondly, it is also conducive to guards, and there is no need to spend money to buy a house.

Tian Shiyi looked around and felt more satisfied, but he had no plans to move into the back office. First, the place is too much, and second, the current house has a good neighbor. Whether the Liangshan thieves will be fooled or not, Wang Dingliu is a key figure.

Lin Xiancheng is an official of the imperial court, and the magistrate of a county is not qualified to interrogate. Fortunately, Tian Shiyi didn't plan to interrogate, as long as he didn't come to make trouble, so that he could calmly arrange all kinds of strategies to deal with Liang Shan. As for the illegal matter of playing Zhang Qinglin County Cheng to the imperial court, and escorting him to Bianliang, Tian Shiyi never thought about it. He just threw Lin Sheng into the prison, and arranged for the ace army to be used as a temporary cell leader, so he didn't pay attention to it.

At this time, Lin Niangzi of the county government had already come up with several countermeasures. She also knew that He Zhixian was not qualified to interrogate her father-in-law, so she also did all kinds of ways to deal with it. The first is to pass a letter to Bianliang Feige, and report the abuse of Cai's old thief and nephew Xingfeng to the distant cousin, naturally the more serious the better, and add some stories of Cai Jing insulting Liang Shicheng behind his back. Second, it is definitely necessary to send money, and if you can use money to solve the problem, it is naturally the best. Thirdly, Lin Niangzi also sent someone to contact a group of bandits, not to attack and kill the magistrate, but to rob Lin County, who was escorted to Bianliang. As for the fourth, I can only wait, because the rescuers have not yet arrived, and I believe that they will be able to rush to the county seat after noon.

can think through things in a short period of time and set several solutions, Lin Niangzi is really not an ordinary woman.

If Tian Shiyi knew Lin Niangzi's way of dealing with it, he would definitely not leave her in the Lin Mansion. It's a big deal to find an old man, just the Lin family's lady after drinking.

Regardless of whether anyone believes him, Benzhi County is like this, and there are people to testify, what can you do? Anyway, this county magistrate can't be for too long, so there is no need to look forward and backward and be timid.

Lin Niangzi first released the pigeon with her own hands, and then asked people to prepare gold, and then dressed up and went to the county office.

When Lin Niangzi came to the county office, the official guarding outside the gate seemed to have been instructed, and immediately welcomed her in and respectfully invited her to the second hall of the yamen.

The second hall of the yamen is behind the main hall, which can also be called the "seal hall", which is generally used for deliberations, office and reception.

Sitting in the chair generously, Lin Niangzi's heart was calm. It's just a seven-grade magistrate, if she really wants to kill the surnamed He, there are countless ways, and now she just wants to solve it as safely as possible. If she really forced her Lin Niangzi to be in a hurry, it was not impossible to get some fake bandits to break through the county seat and kill the county order.

The guests sat in the second hall, and their own servants brought tea bowls with trays. Lin Niangzi didn't care, she gently pinched the porcelain cup holder with her left hand, and picked up the lid of the tea cup with her right hand and gently scraped the floating tea on the surface of the tea. At this time, she unexpectedly found that although the tea bowl had residual warmth, it was not hot.

At this time, most of the people of the Song Dynasty drank "order tea", that is, when cooking tea, the tea was ground into tea powder and placed at the bottom of the bowl, and then brewed into tea soup with boiling water, and at the same time, the tea soup was quickly whipped with a tea whisk to make it foam, and the foam floated on the soup noodles. Matcha in Japan is a copycat version of "order tea"

The tea soup is not hot, which means that the tea is not made of boiling water, and it is more likely that it is not freshly brewed.

Lin Niangzi was unhappy in her heart, and felt that the magistrate surnamed He was too contemptuous of her. At this time, the nose suddenly smelled a strong aroma, and the smell was strong and attractive.

Lin Niangzi sniffed it carefully, and then was stunned to find that what kind of tea soup was here, it was clearly broth. This broth is fragrant, but there is no greasy and greasy atmosphere, and I don't know what kind of meat is used to cook it.

Serving tea to guests is an ancient ceremony, but how can anyone serve broth to entertain guests, Lin Niangzi's heart was full of ridiculous feelings for a while.

At this time, Tian Shiyi came to the second hall, and the two of them gave up one hand and one Wanfu even if they met the courtesy, Tian Shiyi sat down and asked, "Can the broth cooked by the official himself still fit the taste of Lin Niangzi?" ”

Lin Niangzi had a smile on her face, but she almost scolded in her heart. Serving guests with broth is really creative, and I don't know if this thief surnamed He is real or fake.

didn't pick up the topic of broth, Lin Niangzi beckoned, and immediately a servant waiting outside the door came in with a large tray. The tray was covered with a piece of red silk, the servant put down the tray and retreated, Lin Niangzi gently lifted the red silk, and thirty yellow and clear gold ingots and yellow dolls generally lay in the tray, reflecting Lin Niangzi's face full of wealth.

After the giver has given the gift, he asks for a few polite words. For example: "What do you mean by that?" "It doesn't mean anything, it means it." "You're not interesting enough." "Meaning, meaning." "You're such an interesting person." "Actually, it doesn't mean anything else." "Then I'm embarrassed." "I'm embarrassed."

As a result, before Lin Niangzi could make a euphemistic gift-giving excuse, "He Zhixian" looked at Huang Chengcheng's golden baby and immediately smiled, and shouted loudly: "Come on, quickly put it away and send it back to my house, don't let the thief touch it." ”

Lin Niangzi was dumbfounded, where had she seen such a big man with such a face. Scholars and doctors all want to be face-saving on the surface, and when they collect money, they will also come up with some high-sounding words, how can there be such an undisguised thing.

The ace sergeant who pretended to be a servant took away the gold, and Tian Shiyi invited Lin Niangzi to sit down again, and warmly invited her to drink soup.

Tian Shiyi was really happy in his heart, the landlord's family had no surplus grain, and he ran to Jingdong Road with three or four thousand people, and it cost money everywhere, but he didn't bring much money.
