Text Chapter 16: The First Gate Valve of Xihai County?

Cao Zheng did not wait to marry Zhou Cong's daughter, so he was very worried that he would copy his house later. Therefore, when these servants put seals on the valuable objects of the merchants' homes and could not take them one by one, and carried away the copper coins and gold and silver jewelry in boxes, it was as if they saw their own homes being carried. But Sima Xin and Ying Huang, the two great gods, followed him everywhere, obviously supervising himself to look at the pitiful faces of those businessmen throughout the whole process.

When he saw the gray-haired old man fainting to the ground in anger from the sudden blow, when he saw the whole family crying and crying, and when he saw the merchants kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, he began to hallucinate. fantasized that he was kneeling on the ground and begging others for mercy not to raid his own home; fantasized that his wives and children were also kneeling on the ground and crying; People who fantasize that their parents are about to go to the ground can't withstand the blow and fall.

In this raiding movement, Cao Zheng was a family, his body was heavy once, and he was mentally crushed once.

In the evening, he couldn't even eat or drink.

"Captain Cao, Captain Li, let's go back first. I'll have it tomorrow morning. Sima Xin reminded the two to continue tomorrow.

"Yes, both lieutenants." Cao Zheng bent down to Sima Xin and Ying Huang to make a move, and the action was like a criminal.

"Okay, Brother Cao. You and I, let's say goodbye to Sima Duwei and Ying Duwei first. Li Zhen, who plans to marry her daughter to pass the test, seems to be very confident in her daughter's charm, so she is not so afraid.

This Cao Zheng was frightened by this meeting. But what happened to Li Zhen? Sima Xin felt that Li Zhen was simply a little abnormal.

"Who knows? Maybe Li Zhen doesn't have a heart. It's been a tiring day, so let's go back and wash and sleep early, and we have to work tomorrow. ”

On the other side, the officials of Xihai County and the nobles of various families celebrated each other, and they were feasting at the house of Liu Zhenyong, a young man. In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Changshi is really going to "change his evil and return to the right".

Xue Zhengfan Haogu, who is good at talking about the current situation, is praising Zhou Changshi's wise decision-making: "The genius Zhou Changshi thought of a way to "plunder the business", which does not require us to bleed, nor does we need to go to the countryside to oppress those mud legs who farm. Such a boss really treats his subordinates well! Our generation should shout three times: 'Ten thousand years of circumference!' Yes. ”

"Of course, if it is the usual bosses who are popular, such as the former governor Shi Fan Junyan, such as Tang Shizhi of the Governor's Mansion, then naturally a banquet will be held. But Zhou Changshi obviously wants to be a clean official, so let's not look extravagant and wasteful in front of Zhou Changshi. "Fang Bao, the director of the Hongnong Division, who has always liked to slap his boss, is here today

"I heard that Zhou Changshi cherished the jade, and often hugged a singer Hui'er in his arms when he reviewed the documents in the county government." Liu Zhenyong speaks slowly and smoothly on weekdays, dragging a long tone, "It seems that the romantic characters are not only satisfied with having a wife at home. I see that after Zhou Changshi's errand is completed, the king will promote his official, such a shrewd and capable official, the king will definitely let him stay in Xihai County, and watch the cornucopia of Xihai for the king. ”

"As Liu Liangzao said? In the future, we will have more places to deal with Zhou Changshi, and it seems that there will be a lot of stuttering. Fang Bao said this to Liu Zhenyong, and then turned his head to everyone, "Whoever has a daughter to marry in the family has a marriage affair with Zhou Changshi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

"Master Fang, the old man's words haven't been finished yet."

"Please."

"It's hard to say that the king will transfer Zhou Changshi to other counties to run errands, it depends on whether Zhou Changshi will handle the Cao and Li families."

"Yo!" Fan Haogu was taken aback, "Don't mind? Everyone is good together, why do you want to do this and that? Don't scare me. ”

"Didn't scare you. Oh, guys, I didn't scare you. Our Xihai County has always been rich in the world, and the king regards our Xihai County as a small half of the national treasury. Whether we are clean or unclean, the king is true to Mingjing, and the reason why he tolerates us people is that the king has the virtue of a good life and loves us who serve the king with all his heart. Let's put it this way, how many of us here have already been arrested for the money we took in exchange for other counties? It's not that the king is open to us, so that you and I can enjoy the blessings in this flower world in Xihai County? ”

"Ryozo is right when he says that. We can have today, all thanks to the king's kindness, if anyone here forgets this, it is without conscience! Although I am a scholar, I will never spare those ungrateful things! ”

"Well said! We will receive the grace of the country in the world, and we should be smeared with your majesty's liver and brain! All the members present raised their glasses together and said a word of official language.

Everyone sat down one after another, and Liu Zhenyong continued: "But to get rid of a few scum and catch some guys who have brought disaster to the country and the people, that is the duty of our king as the son of the Holy Tomorrow." The actions of the Cao and Li families have already aroused public indignation, and if Zhou Changshi can't dig up these two moths for His Majesty, I'm afraid that Zhou Changshi, who is a young man, will be regarded as a bad deal by His Majesty. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Everyone asked questions.

"It is always necessary for Zhou Changshi to do this errand decently, and this time Zhou Changshi raised military funds for the front line, so naturally the more the better. The soldiers on the front line must not be allowed to shed blood and tears, and this must be prepared for the king with enough silver. ”

"Makes sense." Fang Bao silently lowered herself, "So this matter finally has a satisfactory solution." As a subordinate, we can be regarded as sharing the meager hardships for the newly appointed Zhou Changshi. From now on we can ......"

"Sit back and relax!" Everyone applauded in unison, and they all thought that Liu Zhenyong's plan was very appropriate, and it was not a loss that he was the new first gate valve in Xihai County.

After someone attends this banquet and reveals this scene to Sun Yu. Sun Yu admired Zhou Cong even more for being proficient in the way of the sea, and said to Zhou Cong, Gao Yuan, and Tang Shiyi, including him Sun Yu himself, all of them smiled from ear to ear.

Just as he was smiling, a forest guard came to see Gao Yuan, secretly said something to Gao Yuan and left.

"The three of you can't help it, Yu Linwei's rules are like this." Gao Yuan Zhengse waved at the three of them, "Zhou Changshi, it was Mrs. Zun that your servant asked my subordinates to deliver a letter, and asked Changshi if he was free to go home tonight." ”

Now that they are obedient to me, they don't have to bow down to anything. I'll go back tonight. ”

"Hey, Zhou Changshi's words are wrong. Zhou Changshi has only gone home once or twice in the past half a month, and today Mrs. beckoned, you should go back early, you should go home now. Don't let Madame be anxious. ”

"So, there is a Laoming Mansion." Zhou Cong is not delaying, anyway, the county government is not far from home, so it is better to go back early.

Go to your room, change into cloth clothes and get ready to go home.

"Erlang is this?"

"It's finally not busy, and I should go home and have a look."

"Erlang should have gone back to take a look, Mrs. has been waiting for Erlang for so many days, she should miss Erlang very much."

"Hmm. By the way, Sun Shizi has already helped you redeem yourself, and you will be a member of the Fuchun Marquis Mansion in the future. Let's go and give a big gift to Sun Shizi. Then he got up and left.

Hui'er's nose was sour, and she didn't cry: "Erlang walks slowly." ”
