Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Two Towns Are Reconciled
When the three of them were eating and drinking, Ma Jing smiled, looked at Fu Xiaotian, and twisted his beard, "Hey, Chief Fu, I'm here today, first, I want to apologize to you, and second, I want to cooperate with you." ”
When Fu Xiaotian heard this, he asked suspiciously: "Pavilion Chief Ma, please speak, I will listen to you." ”
Ma Jing smiled: "That's the case, in our Dingxi County, although the population is not large, there is only a county magistrate, and there is no county order, but there are so many pavilion chiefs. ”
"Pavilion Chief Fu has just become a pavilion chief, I don't know, there is a tyrant among these pavilion chiefs, called Xue Baobao, who is usually arrogant and domineering, and before you took office, these pavilion chiefs, including me, listened to Xue Baobao."
"Last time, their people came to take revenge on you, but they were beaten by Mrs. Ling, and they admired it even more."
"However, Xue Baobao will definitely not give up, they have been recuperating for the past few days, maybe in a few days, they will come to you for revenge, this is also maybe."
Fu Xiaotian thought about it, this also made sense, but why did Ma Jing tell him this? What's the point?
"Chief Ma Ting, thank you for informing, I will definitely be vigilant. However, when I hear you, it seems that there is something in the words. ”
Ma Jing smiled slightly, picked up a small porcelain glass of wine on the table, and saluted Fu Xiaotian: "I can't hide it, I want to form an alliance with Fu Tingchang, and we in Mobei Town and Xiaozhai Township will fight against this Xue Baobao and people from other townships together." ”
When Fu Xiaotian heard this, he was very puzzled: "Ma Tingchang, I don't understand you, since Xue Baobao's strength is so great, why are you looking for me?" You must know that I have just become the pavilion chief, what ability do I have to compete with the Xue Baobao you said? ”
The corners of Ma Jing's mouth tilted, and he said with a wicked smile: "The last time Xue Baobao and other people from the township came, they were beaten by Mrs. Ling, and I knew that it would not be a problem to come ten more Xue Baobao." As for me, I just want to follow Fu Tingchang, and I can be regarded as standing in the right team. ”
"To be honest, my relationship with Xue Baobao is not very good."
Hearing this, Fu Xiaotian understood that this sycophant wanted to teach this Xue Baobao a lesson with his own hands for a long time. However, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if Xue Baobao really comes to him, it doesn't hurt to teach him a lesson.
"Chief Ma Ting, you appreciate me so much, you really lift me up."
Fu Xiaotian said with a faint smile, but this is an appreciation for him, obviously he has taken a fancy to Ban Yunyun's strength.
As soon as Ma Jing heard this, he immediately felt that there was a play, picked up the small porcelain cup in his hand, drank the wine, and then slapped his younger brother Ma Ming on the back of the head, "I don't have any eyes at all, don't you see that there is no wine in the wine glass of Fu Tingchang?" ”
Ma Ming felt a grievance in his heart, what is the matter, you were obviously chatting with others just now, what did you say about me.
However, Ma Ming still stood up with a smile on his face: "Come, Pavilion Chief Fu, I'll fill it up for you." ”
After that, Ma Ming picked up Fu Xiaotian's wine glass and poured wine.
At this time, Ma Jing smiled and said: "If Fu Tingchang doesn't dislike it, I am willing to marry you on behalf of Xiaozhai Township, and I will also be your little brother in the future." ”
Hey, this sycophant is really bloody, a pavilion chief is willing to be a little brother, Fu Xiaotian is much younger than him.
Having said that, if Fu Xiaotian doesn't agree again, it will be extremely embarrassing to save his face, and it is much better to have one more helper than one more enemy.
"Don't dare, don't dare, you're a brother, how can you be a brother. Ma Tingchang kindly invited, I can't refuse it, right? ”
Fu Xiaotian picked up his wine glass with a smile on his face.
Ma Jing looked at it, this is a promise, and he drank the wine very happily, Fu Xiaotian did not fall, and drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand.
The two can be regarded as an alliance, and whoever is bullied in the future will naturally not be able to sit idly by.
After the two of them sat down again, Fu Xiaotian asked again: "That, Chief Ma Ting, I want to ask, how do you pay the taxes in Xiaozhai Township?" ”
Ma Jing was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Alas, I really don't want to talk about this tax, the county magistrate originally asked to pay taxes every once in a while, and this Xue Baobao also deducted a little bit privately, which made us people really a little embarrassed." ”
What the? Xue Baobao can still deduct it, this is a bit unspeakable, he is just a pavilion chief, even if he is a tyrant in Dingxi County, but he doesn't have this right.
I only looked at Fu Xiaotian and looked at Ma Jing with a puzzled expression: "Chief Ma Ting, what do you mean by this?" I don't understand a little, does this Xue Baobao still have such a big right? ”
Ma Jing sighed, took another sip of wine, and gritted his teeth angrily, "Alas, you don't know, every time we pay taxes, this Xue Baobao will take it to the county magistrate, and this Xue Baobao doesn't know how much has been deducted from it." ”
Oh, that's the case.
Hearing this, Fu Xiaotian was also angry, angry, and slapped the table vigorously: "I think that the county magistrate and Xue Baobao are both raccoon dogs, and the people are not living well, and they have to impose taxes." ”
When the sycophant saw it, he immediately echoed and said: "Oh, Fu Tingchang is worthy of being a talented person, and he is sympathetic to the people, I really admire it." ”
Fu Xiaotian squinted at the sycophant in the horse mirror, and thought to himself, this person is really good at slapping sycophants, in time, this sycophant kung fu will be perfect.
At this time, Fu Xiaotian continued: "Didn't the county magistrate say that he wanted me to collect this month's taxes? Oh, it's impossible, everything is done according to the court, and it's hard to obey your fate. ”
"Okay, Pavilion Chief Fu is tough, but, are you sure it's really okay? I have collected all the taxes in our small village. ”
Ma Jing said with an embarrassed look.
Fu Xiaotian smiled slightly, although this horse mirror is very good at sycophants, he is also greedy for life and afraid of death, but this is no wonder for him, after all, he is used to this kind of oppressed days.
"Chief Ma Ting, don't worry, it's just my idea, you don't need to cater to me."
Fu Xiaotian smiled.
Ma Jing frowned and thought for a while, paused, and then slapped his brother Ma Ming's head with a slap, and sighed: "Alas, that's it, since I and Fu Tingchang are grasshoppers on a rope, then I have to be consistent with you." Anyway, it's all for the people, even if the county magistrate wants to cut off my head, it can be regarded as a good impression. ”
Fu Xiaotian thought to himself, this Ma Jing said so righteously, this is really unaccustomed.
Actually, Ma Jing is also gambling, gambling with Fu Xiaotian, damn, he stinks in the eyes of the people in Xiaozhai Township, this time, it can be regarded as for his own reputation.
