Chapter 166: Catch the Wind, Hongmen

During the Hongwu period, a frugal province was emphasized, so the Anqiu County Ya only occupied a piece of land at first, and there were not many buildings in it. In the early years of Yongle, several magistrates came from the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and they felt that this public hall was a little tattered, but the inner government behind it was a daily living place, and they couldn't stand it if they were shabby and shabby. So, the three magistrates in a row took out a few dollars from their pockets, and deducted a lot of money from other places, and repaired the back quite neatly.

Therefore, with the three halls of the county government as the dividing line, the front and back of the government are actually two worlds.

The front office includes the two halls and three halls of the public hall, what are the three rooms of officials, households, and ceremonies on the left, and the three rooms of soldiers, criminals, and workers on the right, and what are the halls of history, the curtain halls, the cabinet warehouses, the book rooms, and the treasury...... All in all, there are all the houses that should be, but they are all dilapidated. The back office in the northeast corner of the county government is a sparrow, although it is small, it is complete, and the main house, flower hall and small garden are all similar. The three main rooms were not only bright, but also neatly clean, so Zhang Yue followed Ma Dianshi around and did not find faults.

Seeing that Zhang Yue did not have many entourage, and they were all big men, when Ma Cheng led Zhang Yue into the three main rooms, he earnestly suggested: "Look at the appearance of my lord, I must be in a hurry on this way." Just now, I have ordered someone to prepare hot water, and I will send it later. When the first money was still there, he had bought two girls, but he didn't bring them when he left, since the adults didn't bring anyone here, it was better to let them serve first, I don't know what the adults wanted? ”

Before arriving in Anqiu, Zhang Yue did his homework. With the care of the British public Zhang Fu, and Yang Rong in the cabinet intends to provide convenience, so he also understands the details of the previous governors, and knows that the predecessor Qian Zhixian has suffered an inexplicable corruption case, and he almost can't get out, and he is still waiting in Beijing to fill the vacancy. He took the time to go and have a meeting before leaving. After a few good words, and then vaguely gave a hint, the Qian County Commander who had suffered a lot naturally had something to say, and I couldn't wait for him, the new appoint, to turn over the entire Anqiu County Ya and rectify it.

Therefore, when he heard that the so-called girl left by Qian Zhixian, he didn't believe it at all, but said with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, then thank you Ma Dianshi for your kindness." ”

Zhang Yue agreed. Ma Cheng suddenly became relieved, and said that it should be placed. When the big wooden barrel was moved, and the teahouse brought hot water, seeing that the two bewitching girls followed Zhang Yue into the room, he personally closed the door, and a sly smile appeared on his honest face. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a large mountain standing in front of him. Hurriedly changed his expression.

"It turned out to be Brother Peng."

Although it was only Zhang Yue's subordinate, Ma Cheng was used to being exquisite, and he looked at Peng Shisan's tall and mighty, so he would not treat him as an ordinary servant. Suddenly, he found that Peng Shisan had changed into a set of clothes. His hair was even more wet, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder - even if this teahouse sends hot water, he also takes care of this side first, how does this guy look like he has finished taking a bath?

As soon as his eyes rolled, he asked in surprise, "I just sent a round of water to the adults in the tea room." Right now, the water is being boiled and prepared, look at Brother Peng's dress, how can he be ......"

Peng 13 saw that the other two family members were also dressed up and walked here, so he said nonchalantly: "Boil hot water and let them give it to the son's long-term followers, the three of us are all iron-beaten muscles and bones, just pour a bucket of well water and scrub and scrub it, where is it so delicate?" Not to mention that it's still autumn, even in winter, you don't need any hot water. We'll just have to guard it. Ma Dianshi, you are a busy person, so you don't have to delay here. ”

Ma Cheng was stunned when he said this, and when he saw that the two family members who came over nodded as a matter of course, he only felt panicked in his heart, nodded stiffly and left the main room. After walking a short distance, he couldn't help but glance back, and when he saw the three of them stuck there like nails, motionless, he couldn't help but mutter.

Look, this new magistrate doesn't even bring a girl. Luggage is also a simple one. It is expected that he is a Jinshi from a small family. In this case, what is the matter with these three strong men who are like gods. Could it be that fellow villagers came to help?

Zhang Yue in the room had already taken off his clothes and entered the wooden barrel at this time. After rushing on the road for so many days, covered in ash and sweat, he was soaked in hot water at this time, and the heat steamed up, and he suddenly sighed. Feeling the two hands on his back rubbing vigorously, and the other one was also pinching his arms for him, he simply closed his eyes and let it go.

The two girls are both seventeen or eighteen years old, so naturally they are not shy, and they don't plan to hook up with the new county master on the first day. At this time, seeing Zhang Yue falling asleep at their mercy, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they both laughed, and there was both amazement and joy in that smile.

I thought it was a weak young scholar, but I didn't want that clothes to be pulled off neither full of skeletons nor loose fat, and the shoulders and arms were quite strong when pressed. If this can be done as the three adults expected, they will have to turn over and live a good life in the future!

The county Cheng Luowei and the chief bookkeeper Zhao Ming have both read the sage book in Nanjing Guozi for five years, although they have seen the style of the ancient capital of gold powder in the Six Dynasties, but looking back on these many years, the eight and nine sesame petty officials have never moved up, and they no longer think about anything Feihuang Tengda, and they only want to continue to enjoy happiness in this small place.

ushered in the delivery to several magistrates, and they were not at all surprised by the performance of this latest newcomer. This reception banquet was prepared in the county government hall and the courtyard outside, there were a total of ten tables, all the officials and servants did not pull down, and the one hundred and ten people were actually lively. Seeing this situation, they were all smiling, thinking that they would pay for their own drinks and money to hold this reception banquet, not so much to catch the wind for Xinzhi County, but to buy people's hearts and let these people know who is the real owner.

Look at the young magistrate doesn't seem to be rich, no one calls him when he first arrives, so naturally he can't get any oil and water, and he only relies on those money...... Hmph, don't talk about the head, you have to drink the northwest wind yourself!

At three o'clock, Zhang Yue arrived on time. There was a group of officers sitting in the courtyard, and when they saw him coming, they all got up and nodded their heads in a hurry, so he nodded faintly. Entered the Great Flower Hall. He saw that there was only one table in the center, and eight plates of cold dishes were placed like beads. At this time, the people sitting on the side all got up to greet each other, Zhao Ming, the chief secretary of the county Cheng Luowei, and Ma Cheng, the dian history, although he recognized them, but the other two were fresh faces. He had an excellent memory, and he vaguely remembered that there were no two of them in the group of officials he had seen in the county government earlier.

At this time, the county Cheng Luowei smiled and said, "My lord, these are the two big local squires. Zhao Yuanwai and Li Yuanwai. Because the adults are new to the city, there will be little place to use them in the future, so I invited them on my own initiative, so please don't be surprised. ”

Please invite them all, can he still drive people away?

Zhang Yue looked at these two unexpected and reasonable escorts, and saw that they were both of medium height and slightly fat, with modest smiles on their faces, and he knew in his heart. After taking a seat. Hot dishes were placed one after the other, and in a moment there was no space on the table. He first responded to everyone's toast, then poured himself a glass, and smiled at Zhao Yuanwai and Li Yuanwai: "This official has just arrived, and I am afraid that there will be many things to rely on in the future. The two of them are highly respected here. The villagers obeyed, and I toasted the two members with the first cup. ”

This hand was really unexpected by everyone, and Zhao Yuanwai and Li Yuanwai were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly stood up, holding their wine glasses and not daring. Seeing that Zhang Yue insisted on toasting. Their humble smile suddenly turned into a very happy color, and they drank it all, and they made a lot of flatteries. Luo Wei, Zhao Ming and Ma Cheng watched coldly, although they were still smiling on their faces, they were a little guilty in their hearts.

However, what they didn't expect was that Zhang Yue poured himself a second glass of wine, but looked at Ma Cheng.

"The History of Ma Dian. In addition to the clerical affairs that you have always handled, there will be few places for me to ask you for advice in the future. It's like now, when you lead the official around the back office, and you arrange the girl and the hot water, which is so appropriate that others naturally can't catch up. You are the most senior person in this county, and you must always remind the official, but don't let the official make any jokes. ”

Ma Cheng only felt that the gaze from the side was extremely dazzling at this time, and he didn't know that Zhang Yue didn't know the ranking order of the county's subordinate officials. Or do it knowingly but intentionally. But Zhang Yue's wine was already smiling and saluting. But he couldn't help but drink, so he had to stand up and say something humble. Then he poured the tasteless glass of wine into his stomach. When he saw Zhang Yue saluting Zhao Ming, the chief secretary of the county Cheng Luowei, in turn, but suddenly turned around and walked out of the flower hall to the outside, he felt even more dazed.

What is this new county master going to do?

When the flower hall was being hypocritical, the courtyard outside was already shouting and guessing the fist, and there was a chaotic scene. Although it is a yamen officer, this oil and water are also different, and everyone is naturally happy to have a free meal of wine and food for no reason, so although the banquet has only been held for a short time, a few greedy cups have poured down a few large bowls, and they are still bragging and punching there with a red face.

Naturally, few people noticed the big names in the flower hall on this noisy occasion, so when a sane person saw Zhang Yue walking by, the stomach full of wine suddenly turned into a cold sweat, and he shouted when he raised his throat: "My lord is here!" ”

After a few angry mutterings, the courtyard that was still noisy just now seemed to be quiet in the vegetable market, and no one knew how Zhang Yue was staying in the flower hall so well, how could he come outside at this time.

A few people who had eyes outside the county government earlier and didn't know Taishan were even more worried in their hearts, lest the new master deliberately run out at this time to ask the teacher for the sake of the teacher. When they saw Zhang Yue stop at the second table at the end of his left hand, the people at the other tables all breathed a sigh of relief, especially the young errand who was still swollen at this moment.

At this table, it was the guys who were cleaned up by Zhang Yue and Peng Shisan at the ferry. After returning to the yamen, several people also discussed how to find the two strangers when the time came, infinitely imagining the scene of the other party kneeling in front of them and begging for mercy, until someone informed them that there was good food and drink in the evening, they hurried over, but they happened to miss Zhang Yue. Just heard the words "adults are coming", and then looked at Zhang Yue standing in front of them at this time, they suddenly felt their legs and stomachs tremble.

Among the two people who beat them up during the day, the leader was actually the new county master? Oh my God, this time it wasn't like I kicked the iron plate, it was like I hit the iron stake headlong!
