Xiao Dan didn't expect everyone to be so arrogant, and he also felt the power of the house.

There is a saying in ancient times: the county order of the family. The prefect of the extinction gate.

In the era of man-rule in feudal society, there were actually many ambiguities and adaptations in the so-called law. If it is strictly followed by one article and one paragraph, there is no way to carry it out. In the early Ming Dynasty, many strange laws were enacted. For example, it is not allowed to eat pork, and during the Zhengde period, because Emperor Zhengde was a dog, he also ordered the people not to eat dog meat. But as soon as such a decree was promulgated, the magistrates below laughed it off and didn't pay much attention to it.

This is only one aspect of the implementation of the law, and in fact, many legal provisions are extremely flexible. It depends on whether the county officials are willing to carry it out. It's like Zhoujiazhuang ambushing himself this morning. To put it mildly, Sun Dan can give Zhou Xinshu and them a charge of killing officials and rebelling, and give the Zhou family a full house of beheading. Of course. He can also ignore it. It can be said that the life and death of the Zhou family are all in Sun Dan's thoughts.

The position of magistrate has been set up since the Qin Dynasty. He shoulders the responsibility of a herdsman on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and is the interpreter and executor of the country's decrees.

Therefore, when Sun Dan heard Zhou Xinshu say that Master Guo actually tore up his post. Don thought it was incredible, and he even had some doubts that he had returned to modern society.

Therefore, Sun Dan was not very angry, but was surprised, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: What is the origin of this old man Guo, is Niu Bicheng so small, does he have anything to do with the Guo family of the Marquis of Wuding in the capital?

Sure enough, as Sun Dan guessed, hearing Zhou Xinshu's words, Sun Hao immediately became angry, he is the master of the torture room, in charge of criminal investigation and public security in Fangshan County, plus he has been filial piety recently. There was a anger in his heart, and he immediately shouted: "What a bold man, he dared to tear up Lord Sun's post, and he immediately said to Sun Dan: "Lord Sun, immediately send me to bring someone over to arrest this Master Guo." Isn't it just a person from Qipin County? What's the big deal? The eldest man of my family is a serious Qipin Zhi County, an official appointed by the imperial court. ”

Sun Hao was fast-talking, but he didn't expect that Sun Dan was also from a good background, but he was ordered by the emperor and became a seventh-grade official.

Before Sun Dan could speak, the master of the ceremonial room beside Sun Dan quietly pulled Sun Dan's sleeve: "Lord Zhixian, this Master Guo can't be caught." Fangshan is an upper county. The county yamen is very well equipped. In addition to the county, there are also county and six rooms. The county of Fangshan recently contracted a cold and is recuperating at home. I didn't come to see Sun Dan, but the personnel in the sixth room had already met with Sun Dan. The so-called six rooms are actually the county local committee institutions of later generations. Corresponding to the six ministries of the central government, Fangshan County also has six rooms for officials, rites, households, criminals, soldiers, and workers, which undertake different government intelligence.

Sun Dan asked: "Why can't you catch it?"

Master Ganbori said: "This is not the place to speak, please borrow a table tennis to speak." ”

Sun Dan was a little unhappy in his heart, and said with a straight face: "If you have something to say, you don't have to be sneaky." ”

Master Lifang was a little embarrassed and coughed. Only then did he whisper: "Master Guo of Guojiazhuang still has some background, his surname is Guo, his name is Xiaonai, he is a distant relative of the Hou of Wuding, and Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, is a cousin, he is a younger brother. My lord, you are new to Fangshan. There are a lot of things in the place that I don't know yet. According to the villain's point of view, "this thing" is still a big thing, and a small thing is good. ”

Sun Dan: "Hey! He laughed: "It turned out to be Lao Guo's younger brother, this thing is really interesting." Then you say, how should this matter be resolved? Hearing Sun Dan shout that Guo Xun was Lao Guo, the master of the ceremonial room changed his face and looked at Sun Dan with some surprise. Who is Guo Xun, the director of the Beijing camp, a figure of real power in the DPRK and China, in some ways. Guo Xun's power has been equated with that of the court, and he is the first person to be a military minister. Sun Dan actually called him

"Lao Guo." What is the origin of this Sun Dan?

Seeing that Sun Dan knew Guo Xun's name, Master Gan was busy again: "This matter was originally a matter of the Zhou and Hua families, although the eldest master detained the people of the Hua family. They can compensate Zhou Xinshu for the cost of the decoction and medicine. ”

Originally, the opinion of the master of the ceremonial room was understandable. It's a pity that Guo Pu was so arrogant that he tore up Sun Dan's post. It can be said that it is a dismount for Sun Dan in this new magistrate county. It dealt a serious blow to Sun Dan's prestige. If you don't get this field back, you will stop in the room. How can the new deal be implemented?

This matter is no longer a dispute between the Hua and Zhou families in a simple sense.

Sun Dan and Master Youfang's words did not avoid everyone, and the people in the hall also heard clearly. That Zhou Xinshu suddenly burst into tears when he heard this, struggled to get up from the stretcher, and knelt in front of Sun Dan: "Master Sun, even if you want to catch the Hua Da Niu family, you can't catch it, and now those three people are hiding in the Guo family, and they can't be detained at all!" ”

Sun Dan. Enjoyed: "Guo Pu is also a person who has been a county official, and he is so arrogant that he actually teamed up with the ruffians and hooligans who beat ordinary people in the fish and meat township, and this matter is naturally impossible for the county to turn a deaf ear." This is no longer a marriage contract dispute between the Hua and Zhou families. Later, the county will personally come to the door to pick up people. Don't be in a hurry, say things from beginning to end, and say that you can shake off the book and dry it

Listening to what Sun Dan said categorically, Zhou Xinshu was grateful to Dade and kept kowtowing. The master of the ceremonial room changed his complexion greatly, and while Sun was listening to Zhou Xinshu's confession, he quietly slipped out of the lobby, ran towards the street, and ran to Chengmu Shouli's house in Fangshan County in one breath, knocking on the door vigorously. He hurriedly shouted: "Master Mu, hurry up, we have to go to Guojiazhuang immediately." ”

The door "squeak! As soon as he opened, an ordinary-looking middle-aged literati walked out, it was the second-in-command of Fangshan County, Fangshan County Chengmu Shouli.

Look at his red face again, and he looks like a sick person.

"What's wrong, seeing you panic like this?" Mu Shouli asked calmly.

Master Lifang said: "The new magistrate Sun Dan is going to find the bad luck of the Guo family. "Master Lifang is Mu Shouli's classmate, an old boy in his forties, who was able to enter the yamen to be a master to eat. Or took the path of Mu Shouli. When I saw Mu Shouli, he spoke very directly.

Mu Shouli chuckled: "Guo Jiacai, is it so easy to provoke, it's better for him to go if he wants to find it uncomfortable, and we are happy to see it." ”

Master Qi said with a smile: "Master Mu is reasonable, I expected that Sun Dan would come back to the yamen boringly after touching his nose." However, my lord, haven't you always wanted to climb the line of Guo Hou. Selling them a favor now will be of great benefit to your future appointment as the magistrate of Fangshan. Mu Shouli sneered: "I, Mu Shouli, am a person with a hairy appearance, do I need to climb Guo Xun's high branches?" ”

Master Ganbori laughed and said, "That's that." Who doesn't know that Master Mu is a person who is Mao Xiang, otherwise it would be impossible to come to Fangshan. However, with the help of the Guo family, he was a little more sure of driving Sun Dan away. ”

Mu Shouli was a little moved, and said in a deep voice: "The method is a good way, but this Sun Xiaodan is quite famous in the capital, and I don't know which adult in the court is under the door, and if one is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

Although Mu Shouchang is the deputy assistant of the cabinet Mao Ji, it is impossible for Mao Ji to tell him what Sun Dan is from. Moreover, Sun Dan has a special identity. Since the beginning of his political career, he has done all the secret things. Hugh wants to say Fangshan. Even in the capital, not many people know his details, only know that Sun Dan is a famous talent in the world, but they don't know that Sun Dan's backer is the emperor.

Originally, there was a vacancy in Fangshan County, and Mu Shouli intended to compete for this position. For this reason, he went to Mao Ji a lot, and Mao Ji also intended to help, but he said that he couldn't speak on the side of the ministry, and he wanted Gao Shouli to go to the activities by himself.

Mu Shouli saw Mao Ji nodding, and his heart was settled, so he sold his family property and scraped together more than 3,000 taels of silver to send it to several directors of the ministry.

has Mao Ji's face, and he sees silver again. The faces of the officials were also much better, and they only said that they could nominate Mu Shouli to the post of Fangshan Governor, and as long as the cabinet agreed, they would not object.

In accordance with the statute and established procedures, every month the Ministry of Officials will issue a list of official appointments and dismissals and submit them to the Cabinet. After the cabinet reviewed, the handling opinions were issued, and the report was submitted to the celebrant for approval, even if it was decided.

In fact, the cabinet and the celebrant are just going through a procedure, and they will not take a small county magistrate position to heart.

Therefore, as long as the ministry has a line, this thing will be done.

For this position of Fangshan Zhixian Mu Shouli can be said to be a must-win, and because he has to work up and down, he has sold all his family property, and there is no way back after finishing his work.

As long as you get this county magistrate position. After working for three years, you can not only return to your capital, but also make a lot of money. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Fangshan is a Shang county, and most of the people in the county are wealthy families, and they can get a lot of benefits from them every year. After three years, although 100,000 snowflakes and silver can't be talked about, there should be no problem with getting tens of thousands of taels.

It's a pity that seeing that things are about to fall into place, the people in the officials suddenly changed their faces.

Just some time ago, several officials and principals of the Ministry sent people to return the money he had sent to him, without saying a word.

Mu Shouli was puzzled, and couldn't help but go to Mao Ji to ask. But he didn't want Mao Ji to say something out of tune when he saw Mu Shouli, and then beat him away.

Seeing that Mao Xiang didn't have a law, Mu Shouli knew that this matter was yellow.

It's not that he didn't think about taking the Jinshi exam, and he was born on the right path. But his own ability knows that he has his knowledge, even if he takes the test for another hundred years, he will not be able to pass it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to directly be born in Fangshan County as a lifter and give up the imperial examination.

Just as he was discouraged, Sun Dan came. It's also a person's identity.

Mu Shouli immediately understood, this Sun Dan must have replaced himself to make up for Fangshan's shortage, everyone is a lifter, why can he be a magistrate?

As soon as he thought of this, Mu Shouli was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he didn't bother to see Sun Dan, so he simply lay at home and pretended to be sick. In his heart, he already regarded Sun Dan as his enemy.

When Master Qi heard Mu Shouli's concerns, Master Lifang smiled and said, "Sun Dan must have some ways, but no matter how big his background is, he can still be bigger than Guo Hou and Mao Ge Lao." He Sun Dan can't be the emperor's person, right? ”

When Mu Shouli heard this, his spirit was benevolent: "It makes sense, prepare the horse immediately, let's go to Guojiazhuang for a trip."
