Xiao Baiyuan nodded expressionlessly: "If the son has nothing to do, just please, the little old man still has to settle the account." ”

"Excuse me!" Pi Yang clenched his fists and said goodbye.

I went out and went west, and after walking for a while, I arrived at the gate of the county government, and when I entered the door, I was stopped by two yamen guarding the door. One of them shouted:

"Be bold, dare to trespass on the yamen! What for? ”

This is the important place of the yamen, if the civilians have something, they can only enter after reporting it first, like Pi Yang, who goes straight inside without greeting him, the yacha is polite if he doesn't do it, that is, he looks like a showman, so he didn't pick him up with a stick.

"There is something stored in Lord Kou's place, come and get it now, please tell the brother about it." Pi Yang suppressed his temperament.

As soon as he heard that he knew the magistrate, the yacha's tone softened a lot: "Lord Kou went to the state mansion to visit the prefect, and he is not in the yamen at the moment. ”

"Then I'll go in and find it myself."

Pi Yang was about to go inside, but the two of them set up sticks to block the way, and said angrily: "How can you enter this place as you want to enter the Yamen?" Get out of here, or you'll be beaten out of the cracks! ”

The status of the yacha is not as good as the fast catch, and even they are so domineering, which shows how domineering the catch is faster. Pi Yang frowned, but he suppressed his anger, after all, this yamen was not the township government of his time, and the yamen was only performing his duties, could it be that he really beat them up?

Pi Yang thought about it, decided to come back in the afternoon, and was about to turn around and leave, when a few catchers came out of the county office, and it was Yuan Zhutou who walked in front, he glanced at Pi Yang, and found that the other party was also looking at himself with a sneer, Yuan Zhutou's eyes flashed a trace of resentment, snorted coldly, turned his head and asked the Yacha: "What's the noise?" ”

Yacha clenched his fists and bowed: "Yuan Zhutou, this person said that something was placed at the magistrate's place, and he intended to enter the yacha to find it, but he was stopped by the small one." ”

Yuan Zhutou nodded, turned back to Pi Yang and said, "Lord Kou is not here, what do you have here?" ”

"Oh, it's not a valuable, a wheelbarrow." Pi Yang chuckled.

"Is it the little broken car that Lord Kou pushed back yesterday? I don't know if the kitchen guys used it as firewood, you wait. Yuan Zhutou was expressionless, and ordered his subordinates: "A few of you go in and look for it." ”

Pi Yang pouted: "It doesn't matter, if the people in the yamen burn it as firewood, I will ask Lord Kou for compensation, as the order of a county, how can he lose his trust to others, Yuan Zhutou, you say yes?" ”

"It's just that a pariah lost a broken car, and if Lord Kou doesn't even care about such trivial matters, then he doesn't have to do anything else." Yuan Zhutou looked contemptuous, he sounded like he was scolding the grass people in front of him, but he also expressed his dissatisfaction and contempt for Lord Kou, how could Pi Yang not hear it, and said in his heart, it seems that Kou Zhun has arrived, which has greatly touched the interests of Yuan Zhutou.

Pi Yang saw that the catchers were wearing brown leather armor and red robes and pants, and he smiled: "Lord Kou is the parent official of the people, he doesn't care about us small people, is it up to you dogs and not wolves?" What else will you do besides taking bribes, prostituting prostitutes, and bullying the weak? ”

"You! ——" Yuan Zhutou pinched the handle of the knife on his waist, his eyes flashed with cold light, just because of the Diao people in front of him, he was reprimanded by Lord Kou in public yesterday, which can be said to be a great shame. He said in his heart, now that the county lord is not there, it is better to put this person in prison and torture him first, if Lord Kou asks, he will say that this person intends to trespass on the important place of the official government, and also beat the official.

Pi Yang saw his movements in his eyes, looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said coldly: "I advise Yuan Zhutou not to act rashly, just because you stinky fish and rotten shrimp can beat me?" ”

Yuan Zhutou was stunned, although he didn't see the process of doing it with his own eyes yesterday, but when he thought of the situation of the more than a dozen big men of the Li family lying on the ground and wailing, he suddenly retreated in his heart, and said inwardly: "You'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise you look good!" ”

Pi Yang tilted his head, sneered, and ignored him again.

At this time, a master walked out of the county government with two yacha, who was about thirty years old, stepped out of the door, said hello to Yuan Zhutou, and said good morning to each other. One of the yacha went to Transition River Town last night, recognized Pi Yang, and said a few words in the ear of the master, and the master hurriedly walked to Pi Yang when he heard it, and said with his fists clenched: "But is the son of Pi?" ”

Yuan Zhutou went home yesterday, and he didn't know that Master Kou had been to Piyang's house, and when he saw that the new shogunate was also polite to this small vendor, he was suspicious in his heart, and said secretly, could it be that this person really has any ability to reach the sky?

"How do you recognize me?" Pi Yang Qi said.

"Jiao Heng, the official of the county government, was ordered to come here with Lord Kou from Bianjing this time, and I heard the lord mention the son last night."

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu was too strong to prevent the power of the feudal town, which led to the fall of the central power, so the staff system was reformed, and the staff was hired from self-establishment to the imperial court appointment, and now the master of the state and county officials is not only cooperating with the chief official to manage the government, but also acting as the eyeliner of the imperial court.

Pi Yang hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Brother Jiao, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Since Brother Jiao is Lord Kou's staff, why didn't he go to the state capital to pay homage to the prefect? ”

"Lord Kou intends to play back and forth quickly, the contemptible people are not good at riding, and for fear of delaying the hour, he will stay in the county seat to deal with official business, besides, it doesn't matter if I go or not." Jiao Heng replied.

Pi Yang nodded, and also knew that the staff officer had no rank, and only obeyed the orders of the chief official and the emperor, so there was no need to be left and right between the officialdom.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Yuan Zhutou's subordinates had already pushed the cart out, Pi Yang picked up the wheeler and was about to say goodbye, Jiao Heng remembered that there was still something to do, and hurriedly stopped him: "By the way, the contemptible person is just looking for Mrs. Ling to have something, I don't know if she is in the mansion now?" ”

"My wife?" Pi Yang was stunned, I just fell in love not long ago, where is the lady?

Jiao Heng was puzzled: "Isn't Wu Zixin your wife?" ”

"Oh, she's a lady, I don't know what Brother Jiao is looking for my lady?" When Pi Yang heard this, it suddenly became clear that it must have been Li Qingyi's little girl who told Kou Zhun that only she and Yuzhu knew that the little girl was married.

Before Jiao Heng could speak, Yuan Zhutou spoke first, only to hear him say in surprise: "Wu Zixin is your mother?" ”

"What, do you have an opinion?" Pi Yang raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Zhutou snorted angrily: "The cherry well incident, the Wu family was convicted by the government of fornicating with thieves, and the case has not been caught yet, but as far as I know, Wu Qinghe and his granddaughter have already fled to Qiyunzhai, and now Wu Zixin has become your mother, you must have met her in Qiyunzhai, you are a bold thief, and you dare to send it to the door, come on, take down this thief!" ”
