In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Fan Ming sat opposite the actual Lord Taishan, and after a simple salute, Fan Ming directly told all the things in Suzhou.

What he said was simple, but for the listener Mo Dengxian, it was a completely different feeling, hearing that Fang Youshan was also coming at the last moment, Mo Dengxian couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand and stood up, and was silent for a long time at the sky in the distance, "I agreed to your proposal, and I said that I can also promise you a condition, say, what do you want?" ”

Fan Ming suddenly raised his head, he couldn't imagine that this old man had become so refreshing, he was still thinking about what kind of action he should take if he didn't agree to him, but now it seems to be logical, and he shook his head, "I don't want any conditions, just be merciful." After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, I helped you pay a deposit of 1,500 yuan for this sale, and it would be best if you could return it to me." ”

"Hahahaha......" Mo Dengxian looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around suddenly, and stared at Fan Ming with those sharp eyes, but his eyes were full of smiles, "You kid is quite interesting, okay, as you wish, go, leave the rest to me, you go back and prepare for the marriage!" ”

After resting in Songzhou for two days and making everything clear to the Mo family, Fan Ming was a little at ease, and he didn't know what the situation in Chuqiu County was, although it was not directly related to him, but Fan Ming couldn't stay any longer.

Entrusted by people, loyal to people.

It's been almost a month, and I'm afraid that the incident of salt hoarding has accumulated to the most serious moment, and if I don't rush back, I don't know if the situation in Chuqiu County has changed.

With a stack of salt and a promise from Mo Dengxian, Fan Ming finally embarked on the way home, compared to it, it was a lot more beautiful to go back at this moment, two carts of various local goods, plus a large cart of rare hunting, according to the Mo family, this is a gift to the new aunt.

Originally, Fan Ming planned to go back alone, according to the customary rites, the bride must stay in her mother's house before she got married, but both of them were reluctant to separate the pain, and the Mo family had already known that the two were married to each other, and under the pleading of the woman and Mo's mother, Mo Dengxian finally agreed that Mo Xirong would pass Chu Qiu first, and wait until the official wedding banquet day to come back and put on a form.

The road was bumpy, and when they returned to Chuqiu, it was already dark, and the group finally arrived in Chuqiu County before it was completely dark.

Entering through the back door, someone in the county knew him, he was a long-term entourage of Wang Zhixian, and immediately invited him in, saying that the master ordered that once Fan Ming arrived, he would be led directly to the study without notification and wait, which made Fan Ming feel warm, and it seemed that Wang Zhixian still valued himself very seriously.

When he arrived at the study, the chief entourage saluted him, "Little minister, please wait for a while, the master will come back in a short time, and I will go to someone to announce it." ”

Fan Ming frowned, "Your Excellency is not in the mansion at the moment?" ”

"My lord went to the king's house in the east of the city for a banquet, and he has been out for an hour, and he should be back soon."

Fan Ming was taken aback, "The Wang family? Are you saying that adults often go out to feast during this time? ”

Chang Sui nodded, and then sighed, "During this time, adults are tired, and when I go to the banquet, my body and bones are a little unbearable." ”

Fan Ming's heart was turbulent, Wang Zhixian was very clear about his personality, he was also of a high temperament, if he was fine, he would never mix with such businessmen and the like, it seemed that the current situation was really to a very grim point.

With a full of worries, he looked at the study room, looked at the bookshelf full of classics on the opposite side, and remembered the county school that he hadn't been to for many days, Fan Ming couldn't help but sigh, after running Songzhou and Suzhou, he had to get married and do happy things in a few days. I don't know how much of this homework has been left behind, and I have to find a way to make up for it when I'm done with it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wang Zhixian to appear in the study with a body of wine, accompanied by Sun Xuezheng, but Sun Xuezheng was neat and clean without the slightest smell of alcohol, and it seemed that he was also pulled over by Wang Zhixian halfway.

"Fan Ming, you're finally back." Although Wang Zhixian was a sound of alcohol, he looked very sober and extremely excited, perhaps the current situation was too urgent, and he asked anxiously without waiting for Fan Ming to return the courtesy: "How is it, is the matter done?" ”

Looking at the two benefactors in front of him, Fan Ming saluted respectfully, hugged his fists and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" He took out a thick stack of salt bills from his bosom and handed them to Wang Zhixian's hand, "My lord, please take a look." ”

Wang Zhixian carefully inspected the first few salt bills in his hand, and then handed them to Sun Xuezheng beside him, his eyes shimmering, "Look at it." ”

Sun Xuezheng carefully checked the salt banknote and nodded, "Well, yes, the authentic official seal letter, and it is the name of the Mo family in Songzhou, it should be right." He counted the approximate number of sheets again, and asked Fan Mingdao, "These salt banknotes are worth far more than a thousand yuan, and you paid for it yourself?" ”

Fan Ming smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is all the belongings in the inner shop, and it is my honor to be able to do my meager contribution to the magistrate." ”

Wang Zhixian looked a little excited, and slapped Fan Ming on the shoulder, "Okay, good, good, you have really made a great contribution this time, if you can calm this turmoil smoothly this time, there will be a place for you in the yamen, except for the dispatch in the liupin." ”

Wang Zhixian's words made Fan Ming's heart move, the dispatch in this stream is in this county office, that is, the county, the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant, which must be appointed by the imperial court and have meritorious fame in order to be qualified, that is to say, in addition to these four positions, other positions are at his disposal, which is a great 'love'.

"The lord is very loving, and the kid understands it, and he only hopes to restore the clarity of the Yamen decree." Although he was delighted, he didn't pay too much attention to a reward that had not yet been cashed, and to be honest, he suddenly thought of a question, pointed to the roof carefully, and said to Wang Zhixian: "My lord, are you all dotted on it?" ”

"Humph!" Speaking of this, Wang Zhixian couldn't help but snort coldly, "This time it's an official and a civil society, whoever dares to make trouble, I will go directly to the governor's office, it's a big deal to fight to the death." ”

Looking at Wang Zhixian's face, Fan Ming also knew the general situation, it seems that Wang Zhixian still did not have the upper hand in the wrestling with Bu County, but Wang Zhixian always occupied the name of a magistrate, the position of the dignity of a county, Fan Ming guessed that this Bu County Cheng could not do too much.
