Chapter 189: Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming
The moon days in the north are always cold, and there are no pedestrians on the road in the evening, and the houses in Fucheng are shining with sporadic lights, but most people go to bed early after dinner. The snow had just stopped, but the eaves were already white on the road, and the two lanterns in front of the prefect's yamen shone on the snow, adding a bit of warmth to the solemn winter night. In front of the yamen, there was a messenger in a leather coat and hat wrapped tightly, but he still couldn't stand the cold weather, and jumped twice and stomped his feet from time to time.
Finally, he saw a figure come out of it, and when he looked at it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted up to meet him, and said respectfully: "Master, it is not easy to walk on the road just after the snow, you should be careful!" It's so late, you're ready to eat......"
This triangular eye is chattering, looking like a loyal subordinate, where is there still the original arrogance? Zhang Yue saw that there were still snow beads on his leather robe, and his face was red from the cold, so he said with a smile: "It's really hard to let you wait outside on a cold day, and you will have a pot of wine to warm up when you get to the ground." What about Lao Peng and the others, who have already stayed at the guest house? ”
"The master is a county magistrate, so he naturally has to live in Qingzhou Station. At first, the lords of other counties were also waiting there, but who knew that Zhang Gonggong sent someone to pass the word, saying that he could not delay his official business, so he would stay in Le'an Zhi County, and the others let them go back. Now Brother Peng has instructed someone to clean up the house and send me to greet the master. ”
A hard work made the triangular-eyed messenger's heart burn, and when he heard the hot wine to keep out the cold, he smiled even more. Seeing that Zhang Yue had cleaned up Luo Xiancheng and Zhao's master book, who had been in charge of the county government for seven or eight years, in the past two months, he was afraid that the county master would catch his mistakes, so he was cautious for a long time, and now he found that this master was actually very good to serve. At this time, he led the horse while talking, and he wanted to serve Zhang Yue on the horse, but he saw that the people turned over neatly. He stuck out his tongue and hurriedly got on his horse and followed.
Qingzhou Yi was originally a big post, and most of the officials in Van Denglai had to pass through this place, and the money, grain, firewood and charcoal received by Yicheng every month was a large number. There are many people who are sent to us, even if it is an official, in his eyes, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they are greeted differently. So, during the day, the unlucky Le'an Zhi County was sent here. The two guards of the Han Palace's palace threw him a silver cake to buy medicine to serve, and after he smiled and agreed, he knew it as soon as the two of them left.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the magistrate, he must have hit the palm of the Shouguang King's hand. And although the person was sent back by the palace guards, the contemptuous face of the person was obvious. In the future, he will be an official in Le'an, and this unlucky day is still to come!
So, he went back to the house and found a few random pieces of money and ordered someone to go to the doctor to get medicine, but the silver cake was hidden in the money box by himself. By noon, a number of magistrates came. He had to wait one by one, but in the evening everyone left, but the subordinate of Anqiu Zhixian still remained, but he was nowhere to be seen. After he quietly inquired, he learned that the one was actually taken by the imperial eunuch Zhang Gonggong to Le'an County to visit the assassinated King of Han. Deng Shi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the handyman to clean up the bright east wing.
It wasn't until the moment of the hour that the post waited for Zhang Yue, who was late. His eyes were poisonous, and he saw Zhang Yue enter the house and untie the cloak and put it on. glanced at his waist again, and immediately knew that this master's family was either rich or expensive, and it was by no means more than the future of a small county, so he was even more energetic. After a while, he sent a handyman to add firewood and charcoal, and for a while, he ordered someone to go to the kitchen to urge wine and food, and Zhang Yue smiled and said thank you, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be stretched.
However, in the inner and outer rooms, wine and food were delivered. While a few of the servants were looking at the table full of good things, an uninvited guest suddenly burst in. He didn't care about the servants in the outhouse, staggered to the inside, and saw Zhang Yue sitting on the kang, on the kang table was four plates of hot fried a pot of wine, Peng Shisan and Na Yi Cheng sat down, he immediately sneered.
"I have a cold house and a cold kang there, and even the food is warm. Not even a figure. This house is so lively! is worthy of Lord Zhang, everyone comes to flatter! Today, Lord Zhang took action. I haven't thanked you yet, but it's not too late to thank you now! ”
Zhang Yue saw that there was a bright red whip mark on the left cheek of the visitor, and he knew that this was the magistrate who stopped Zhu Zhanqi during the day, but at this time, the tone of the person was stiff, and he was suddenly a little unhappy. After looking closely, he suddenly found that the person was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen the ground, and when he thought about it again, he suddenly realized. Isn't this the sour guy from the previous Douwen?
Having said that, he didn't want to be like this guy who had just been unlucky in the morning, so he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Sun, everyone is an official in Qingzhou Mansion, even if I don't stand up at that time, there should be people who are upset." ”
Sun Lianggan looked at this bright room, thinking that he didn't even have a messenger there, and he didn't see anyone coming even after he broke his throat, and he was full of grievances and resentment, and it was suddenly difficult to hold back. Seeing that Zhang Yue was still smiling, he was even more resentful: "Lord Zhang's words are not a joke, right?" Those people saw that King Shouguang was like a mouse, and it was too late to hide when he saw a cat, who would stand up for me? The first few who came up and pulled it only made a look, and when they saw the whip, they dodged faster than anyone else! It's Lord Zhang, didn't you come up to help me after seeing me take a few hits, didn't you also see my boss's jokes? ”
Speaking of this, he took a step forward abruptly, and said more and more yin and yang: "I don't have the good fortune of Lord Zhang, and I don't have such a relative of Xuanhe, so King Shouguang naturally said that he would beat me for such a small role, so His Royal Highness the Prince of Han didn't care about me, who was beaten, afterwards, but he cared about you!" Lord Zhang, I will remember today's grace forever, and there will be a great reward in the future! ”
With that, he snorted coldly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away. Just as he approached the door, there was an angry shout from behind him.
"Stop!" Listening to such strange words without a head, Peng Shisan was tired and annoyed in his heart, and he fell to the ground with a kick, "With what you said, did our family help you or did it take a mistake?" I thought that the people who read in this world were also reasonable, I didn't think that there was such a right and wrong as you, black and white, I think our family is helping the wrong person, at that time, we should stand by and watch the Shouguang King toss! ”
Sun Liang turned around willingly and glared at Peng 13 viciously. Then he laughed dryly: "Good, good!" There is really a master and a servant, and this posture is really a wealthy faction. In short, I learned today, and I will never work again to help Master Zhang in the future! ”
"Thank you Lord Sun for reminding me, in this way, I will never care about your idle business in the future! You go, don't send! ”
replied with a calm face, and saw Sun Lianggan stumbling out of the door with a cold snort. Facing a table full of steaming wine and food, Zhang Yue also felt disappointed. Peng Shisan returned to his seat and sat down angrily, raised his small wine glass and drank it all, and then ate the food with his head bored, and the Yicheng was even more sneering, busy gaging and telling a few jokes, seeing that Zhang Yue was excited, he had to find an excuse to retreat.
I went to the outhouse and drank a few cups with the officers. Seeing that everyone was indignant after such a toss, he had to whisper to inquire about the precedent things, and when he learned the cause and effect, he immediately followed them and scolded his mother.
There must be a comparison between this person, he doesn't know what relatives Zhang Yue has in his family. But what I saw was that people spoke modestly with a smile on their faces, and they were also polite to him, where was it like that Le'an Zhixian who spoke scathingly, and when he took the doctor to see it, he didn't have half a good word. I heard that it wasn't for the Lord Zhang inside who stopped him at first. I'm afraid that King Shouguang, who is angry, will beat people to death, and this person is still resentful, how can there be such a guy in the world who doesn't know right from wrong!
Furious, he went out of the house, and the post man immediately summoned a few handymen and told them to hang them on the side of the west wing, and to drive them away at once the next morning. Looking back at the brightly lit east wing, he instructed him to serve carefully and not to be lazy, and then returned to his own room. opened the cash box and rubbed the piece of silver cake, which was less than a dozen taels of silver. He couldn't help but hum a small tune in his mouth - greedy for such people's silver, that is a matter of course!
The next day, Zhang Yue got up early in the morning, and after freshening up, he was ready to take everyone back to Anqiu first. Although he took over an unusually hot errand from Zhang Qian, he always had to make some arrangements from the yamen, and he also had to give an explanation for the autumn marks and amber at home. The most important thing is that he is in a hurry to employ people now, and he has to bring a few more of those reliable long-term followers and Zhang Fu faction family members selected by his grandmother at the beginning. So last night, Peng Shisan said that he borrowed people from the Dusi Yamen, and they were all temporarily placed in a rented house in Qingzhou Mansion. Naturally, he was happy in his heart.
Yi Cheng drove Sun Lianggan away early in the morning. At this time, he personally led out Zhang Yue's tall horse with black and bright coat, and the other horses were also in good spirits after the night. Apparently carefully fed and washed. When he was sent to the door, he was shocked to find dozens of people standing in the wind outside, all wearing blue-clothed waist knives. Before he could open his mouth to ask, Zhang Yue greeted him.
The man in the lead took three steps forward, bowed slightly in front of Zhang Yue, and said in a low voice: "Lu Wan, the lowly martial arts left guard of the hundred households, is ordered by Gonggong Zhang to protect Lord Zhang!" ”
Yesterday Zhang Qian spoke, this morning people waited at the door of this post station, for this vigorous and resolute situation, Zhang Yue was really amazed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the hundred households up. In terms of rank, a hundred households are also a sixth-grade, far more noble than him, a seventh-grade civil official, not to mention that it is a pro-army in Beijing. After some greetings, he got on his horse first, and the twenty guards also jumped on their horses, and then came the sparse lala.
Na Yicheng even secretly speculated in his heart that this young magistrate could have such a guard, and he didn't know which noble family it was!
Although everyone had tied straw to the horses' hooves in advance, and the road was chosen, the snow and the road were slippery, and the road took more than half an hour than when they came. As soon as Zhang Yue, who was in the dust, entered the gate of the county government, he saw Lian Hu rushing up like a gust of wind and shouting something that surprised him.
"Young Master, it's not good, Amber girl...... Amber Girl is suddenly sick! ”
