Chapter 386: Dog eats dog, people praise people
When Zhang Shou left the county office, he only took Ah Liu and Xiao Peanut with him, but when he returned to the county office, there were a lot of people behind him.
Among them, Xu Ba, who was wearing a white turban, didn't want to come the most, but he had to come because Ah Liu was eyeing him, and in addition, in addition to Cen San who was holding Huang Gongzi, and the three boatmen who Cen San had beaten, there were many people who simply joined in the fun. However, when everyone came to the gate of the county government, they heard a loud shouting from inside.
"Wronged, I also listened to Huang Gongzi's instructions, I just acted on orders! I have a fame, Zhu Tingfang, you can't torture me, otherwise you will be against the world's scholars! β
Zhang Shou glanced at Huang Gongzi, who was so angry that his whole face was about to be deformed, and smiled again. Immediately after, he saw that Cen San, who had been holding people just now, suddenly changed his face and expression slightly, and then he seemed to let go of his hand naturally. He couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this, but when he saw the smile on Ah Liu's face flashing away, he knew that it must be this kid who passed the word to someone.
Sure enough, Huang Gongzi didn't react at all that it was someone else who took the initiative to let go, and thought that he had broken free from the restraint, and hurriedly rushed into the county office like a gust of wind, followed by the angry roar of the people.
"Bi Yunru, it was you who gave me advice and desperately instigated me, and now you dare to push it on me alone? What are you, but a poor sour who has only taken the test and has no interest, and he doesn't know how to punish his name, and he doesn't know how to go through the money valley, but he is a little smart, if my father hadn't taken you in, you would have today! β
As if because Master Bi was too frightened to make a sound, Huang Gongzi's scolding was even louder: "If you hadn't cheated in the name of my father and me, would you have made me so miserable!" β
"Huang Wei, you are bold on Maliu Mountain, and after being teased by Miss Zhu, you couldn't get angry and spoke wildly, and you were kicked down the mountain by others. You can't swallow this breath again, and you ran to Cangzhou to take revenge, you want me to give you ideas, and you still want to push me if something happens? Blind your dog's eyes! If you don't have a good father, you're something! A waste that can't even be tested for fame! β
After hearing the Huang Gongzi inside, Master Bi, who initially seemed to be stunned by the roar, also began to yell, and the two soon began to-for-tat each other to tear down the stage, Zhang Shou couldn't help but pluck out his ears, and then laughed.
And although the melon-eating crowd behind him who came to see the excitement couldn't see his smile, the dog-eat-dog scene in the county government could still be understood, and there was naturally a lot of discussion for a while.
It was only at this time that Zhang Shou turned to everyone and said: "In the end, the Huang Governor of Hejian has no way to teach his son, so that in order to vent his personal anger, the son listened to the instigation of Master Bi who accompanied him, and made waves in Cangzhou in the name of his father; It was still Master Bi who deceived in the name of Huang Zhifu and Huang Gongzi's father and son. I'm afraid that there will be no results in this matter for a while, after all, Master Bi is also half of the Huang family, even if he is a person like General Zhu who can make good decisions, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs. β
He said to everyone with sincerity: "As for the matter of Cangzhou, I don't dare to guarantee the rest, but I have already reported all the circumstances to the court with General Zhu, and with Old Master Ge as circumstantial evidence, I will definitely not let these two inconsequential people ruin the stable situation that Cangzhou has so hard to obtain." β
Seeing that everyone suddenly shouted hello, he paused again, smiled and nodded to Cen San.
"As for the 100 yuan money ticket that Cen San handed over just now, it is Huang Gongzi's personal money, I can't reward it generously to others, so I naturally want it to be returned to the original owner. But you can give up the rich reward and send him over, this kind of righteous deeds should be rewarded by the government, of course, the reward is not much, I am not the prefect's wife who can easily give 8,000 yuan to her son for pocket money. β
After teasing for a few sentences, seeing that Cen San was a little surprised, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Forgetting money for righteousness and forgetting money, worthy of praise, ten times of bounty, that's what you deserve!" β
As soon as these words came out, those good deeds were suddenly envious, and the three boatmen who had fought with Cen San at the beginning couldn't help but coax. One hundred times seems like a lot, but it means that you have to send people to the capital, and then you can hold the boat back, and when the canal is dry, sometimes you have to hire a slender man, although you will definitely earn more than ten times in the end, but you will pay a lot.
It's like now, twist a bullshit prefect, and then it's a ten-run bounty!
As for whether Cen San will suffer retaliation, no one cares anymore - or rather, he just experienced a scene where a dignified county magistrate was slashed a few days ago, and today I heard the prefect and the master shirk with their own ears, and the people of Cangzhou no longer regard the Hejian prefect in their eyes.
In other words, most people feel that the prefect of Hejian should have entered the countdown to step down.
And Cen San took the ten times the reward money that was redeemed at the sight of the ticket, and immediately smiled, patted his chest and said loudly: "Dr. Zhang, don't worry, from now on, I will definitely keep my eyes open, but if anyone who is a traitor wants to get on the boat, I will guarantee that they will be taken and sent to the government!" Who doesn't want our Cangzhou to get better and better? β
Hearing the loud echoes all around, Zhang Shou couldn't help but wonder. How could he have thought that he had no intention of going to the canal wharf today, originally just to go shopping and eat, but he came across such an unbelievable anecdote. He said a few words to everyone with a smile, and when he turned around and entered the county office, he looked again, but found that Ah Liu directly dragged in the white turban Xu Ba with a bitter face.
He stopped and asked with a smile, "Ah Liu, what are you doing here?" What about his business cart? β
"This guy is so ghostly, he almost wanted to run just now." Ah Liu grabbed the person's shoulder unceremoniously, and then said patiently, "As for his small cart for business, young master don't worry, I saw with my own eyes that he called an acquaintance to take it away." Otherwise, this guy will dare to shout at you and say that the guy who eats is lost because he ran here. β
Xu Ba's calculation was pierced by Ah Liu's simplicity and directness, and he suddenly didn't dare to have the slightest luck. In addition, now that he has set foot on the territory of Changlu County again, he will not dare to play tricks. So, he immediately said honestly: "How dare I have such a blackmail mind, just now Dr. Zhang, you want to arrest that prefect, didn't I still raise my arms and shout......
"People can't run away in the first place." Ah Liu seemed to be very annoyed and useless, and interrupted stiffly, "Nosy." β
"Yes, yes, little brother, you are so powerful, he can't run away in the first place, but it's hard to guarantee that people won't shout and ruin Dr. Zhang's reputation under the dog's rush to jump over the wall, right?" Seeing that Ah Liu snorted lightly, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then said to Zhang Shou with a flattering face, "It was my sin to steal things before, but before I ...... Can I be counted as a contribution? β
Seeing that Zhang Shou looked at him with a smile, but didn't speak, he rubbed his hands and said with an uneasy face: "I know that the bottle of chili pepper that I stole must be very expensive, and I can't afford to pay for this sesame-sized credit." But there are old and young ...... in my family."
Ah Liu interrupted him again: "You are the only one in your family. β
was once again exposed to that little trick, Xu Ba couldn't help but pull off the white turban on his head to wipe his sweat, glanced at Zhang Shou, and finally said honestly: "My family is one of me, but there are seven or eight children in the neighbor next door, and they still refuse to learn from others, or drown or throw them to the good hall or give them away, I would rather work hard to earn money to support them, and sometimes I help them a little......
Afraid that Zhang Shou wouldn't believe it, he hurriedly explained: "Really, although I can't afford anything valuable, that is, the rice noodles that can't be sold out that day are sent to them to eat!" Business was so good two days ago that the rice noodles were sold out, and I bought a few cakes for them. β
"If I really had a lawsuit for this theft, maybe one or two of them would starve to death...... Be merciful to your old man, and I will take care of this restless hand in the future......"
This time, Zhang Shou finally smiled. He didn't scare people anymore, and said lightly: "You are indeed guilty of stealing things without telling you, and that bottle of chili pepper is valuable, it is indeed something that Da Ming has never had before, and it can be said to be priceless." But to say cheap, it is also easy to grow from seeds, but it comes from overseas, and it is not that valuable. β
Seeing that Xu Ba was frightened at first, and then he was a little relieved, so entangled that his face was wrinkled, he said unhurriedly: "It's just that since you used chili peppers to make a delicacy that others like and praise, it can be regarded as a good deed." So, I don't have to blame for this matter. And, I can give you a little more chili. β
Xu Ba's eyes suddenly widened as big as copper bells, and immediately, his face was instantly filled with ecstasyβnot only the ecstasy of the rest of his life, but also the ecstasy of paying attention to foreign wealth. But he quickly suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, swallowed hard, and stammered, "That's it...... Is this true? β
"Seriously." Zhang Shou smiled and said very naturally, "It's just that the amount won't be too much." You just have to tell people who like the taste that the thing comes from far away from overseas, and that's enough. β
"Yes, yes, I must say that, I must say that!" Xu Ba was already so happy that his voice changed tone, and his head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Dr. Zhang, you are really magnanimous, Bodhisattva, in the future, the people of Cangzhou will definitely treat you as a Bodhisattva, and incense will be ...... every day."
"No, I don't have so much merit to be able to afford such courtesy." Zhang Shou angrily cut off this guy's chattering flattery, and then said with a smile, "You only have one task, to spread ten to hundred, and strive to let more people know that you have a special spice from overseas here." Of course, I don't have a lot of stock here, so I can't give you more. β
"If someone else really breaks down the door of your house for a bite to eat, then it's none of my business."
Hearing this cold joke, Xu Ba wiped the sweat on his forehead with a white turban, almost feeling that he was about to faint with happiness. Not only will he not be held accountable for theft, but will he continue to give him such good things? Oh my God, there will be such good people and good deeds in the world, he is simply lucky! People broke his door for food? That's great, he welcomes people to come and fight!
He hurriedly nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I will definitely do it, Dr. Zhang, don't worry!" β
"Okay, that's it, I'll let Ah Liu go to you when I go back, you go back first!"
If you don't want to come over just now, then how much Xu Ba doesn't want to leave at this time, even if Ah Liu's expressionless face and always looks a little slight, it looks so cute in his eyes at this time - can he continue to do business, and he can earn more every day, can it not be cute?
He turned back three times in one step, waved goodbye reluctantly, and after leaving the county office, he couldn't help jumping three feet high, and waved his fist like a child to express his joy, and then rushed to the west gate at a trot, ready to hurry out of the city to continue business. Just this time back and forth, his delay is big, he should let Na Cen give him a little reward!
And as soon as he left, Ah Liu, who followed Zhang Shou to the lobby, couldn't help but snort softly again. This time, Zhang Shoutou reassured without looking back: "He stole something, but he was actually willing to be beaten up by you just now, but I don't think you will do it, will you?" In order for this condiment to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it must be spread first, and he is at least a channel. β
Ah Liu whispered unhappily: "There are a lot of people selling food. β
Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing: "There are a lot of restaurants, restaurants and restaurants in Cangzhou, but who made him so fateful to be brought back by you, and he stole something by mistake?" Anyway, if you are not satisfied, when you go to him in the future, you can teach him a good lesson......"
When he said this, he just went up the last step and saw the scene in the lobby clearly. I saw that the menacing Huang Gongzi before was riding on the body of Master Bi! Master Bi, who was pretending to be in front of the shopkeeper of Hua, was wearing a cloak at this moment, and his fists were desperately slamming towards Huang Gongzi, and his mouth was still chattering angrily.
"You don't know anything, you don't understand anything, what else do you have besides having a good father!"
"Call me as a master, have you ever thought that I am your predecessor in the field! Even a child was stumbled to get out of the exam, and you are embarrassed to call yourself a reader, don't you think it's embarrassing! β
"You blame me for not doing anything, and now that the matter is revealed, you are still planted on me, you are not responsible!"
Zhang Shou raised his eyes and saw that Zhu Tingfang was sitting on the main seat in the center for a long time, watching this absolutely unequal fight with cold eyes, as if he didn't care whether the poor Huang Gongzi would be beaten to death.
Thinking that this kid who didn't know the height of the sky had scolded Zhu Ying, and he didn't know how to hurry away afterwards, he actually ran to Cangzhou to plot revenge, and his last bit of sympathy was gone. All in all, it was well deserved!
He thought that Zhu Tingfang was waiting for him to come and exert his power again, but what he didn't expect was that when he saw him come in, Zhu Tingfang suddenly said: "Come on, put me in prison for the two people who deceived him, incited the people's hearts, and fought in the court!" β
