Chapter 13: Zhou Cong's Weaknesses

Men San'er was just instructed by Zhou Cong to deliver the letter. Recently, he only heard that there was a big-name fan among the official prostitutes who talked about the history of Zhou Chang every day, and it was said that he abandoned others when he accompanied Pan Qin on a river patrol. Could it be that Zhou Changshi has taken a fancy to this strong businesswoman this time? Want to help their family through this?

saw Yang Xue's haggard half-dead, and the strong woman who was in full bloom two days ago was like two people. Could it be that Zhou Changshi has also done something to others?

Of course, it's not your own business, just send the letter.

After Yang Xuening took over the "love letter", Men San'er sent the message at the same time: "Ma Liu said that Zhou Changshi knew about it." The Department of Industry and Commerce has been instructed not to be embarrassed by this. As long as Yongfa abides by the law and pays taxes on time, it can do business with confidence. ”

Yang Xuening immediately led the whole family to kneel on the ground: "Zhou Changshi is worthy of being a blue sky." The Yang family is willing to provide immortality for the history of the perimeter! "With the support of the maid, he bowed three times and bowed nine times. After thanking Zhou Cong, he knelt down again: "Please thank Ma Gongzi for the Yang family for Yongfa." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, please get up." Then he accepted five taels of silver from the Yang family and went back satisfied.

Yang Xuening opened the "love letter", but found that the content on it made her unbelievable - it was written

"I don't know that Childe is Yongfa Shaodong,

There are really not many deals like Yongfa,

The so-called paving bullying is not for it,

The so-called Kumo hoards.

If you can be such a model in the business world, you will always be exhorted. ”

What do you mean? What does Ma Liu: What does this mean? But how could a horse six and a groom write such good words? What is the origin of this Ma Liu?

Hurriedly asked the shopkeeper Ma Liu what he meant.

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, but he couldn't understand it. And he read it to the people, but they did not understand.

When Yang Youcai woke up and showed Yang Youcai again, he still didn't understand. Helplessly, Yang Youcai felt that it was better to ask Ma Liu himself.

Yang Xue Ning thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate to find Ma Liu himself, if people were willing to say it clearly, they would say it clearly, why bother to send a high-sounding letter that people couldn't understand? So I took the letter and read it repeatedly, trying to decipher the meaning of the letter. But I always felt that Ma Liu estimated that he was just saying some polite words.

In the past few days, Zhou Cong has a group of wealthy businessmen at the door of his house or at the gate of the county government - no one dares to bribe, and they are all here to sue Yang Xuening for bumping into Mafu Ma Liu. His neighbors don't know anything, so they don't gossip, after all, Zhou Changshi is still passable, and people are really as clear as water, not like a money-collector. The messengers of the county government were amused by these rich businessmen, but they didn't dare to laugh because of Zhou Cong's order - Mafu Ma Liu? Ma Zhou? Combined with Men San'er's rhetoric, everyone believed that Zhou Cong was hit by a woman, and then he was fascinated and didn't want to make a big deal about it.

And the director of the Sentencing Department in charge of the prison is more depressed, if he hits Zhou Cong, it will be a big case. Should I judge it myself? Why doesn't anyone come to complain to me? But didn't Men San'er pass on the gossip he saw with his own eyes, eight or nine times out of ten, Zhou Changshi took a fancy to her eternal daughter, who dared to touch Zhou Cong's moldy head to arrest people?

Other butts have shit, are used to corruption, and the aristocrats and bureaucrats want to start from here to grab Zhou Cong's handle, but Zhou Cong did it seamlessly, and may not even have done anything - now I want to say that Zhou Cong and Yang Xuening have a leg to give Yongfa tax exemption and no evidence? They all felt that as long as it never fell, they would give Zhou Cong the charge of sexual bribery to him. Bring down Zhou Ku, we corrupt officials and corrupt officials can have a good life? No one wants to have a boss like Zhou Cong who is unsympathetic and cool, and who is still short of money, and the feeling of being raided is not a good thing.

People who are always in a position of authority at all times never speak, and it is always ordinary little people who have no scruples about talking about big things at any time. No, the officials in the county government began to gossip while they were eating.

"Zhou Changshi is the number one Qing official in the world. You know? Zhou Changshi went to the bargain shop today and bought one of the 'eight big boxes' and spent eight hundred dollars. ”

"Really? You must know that Zhou Changshi is a Qing official who doesn't take any money. I only live on that meager income. ”

"Eight hundred dollars is four or five days of Zhou Changshi!" (The history of the county magistrate, a monthly salary of 70 stones, is 7,000 yuan.) About seven taels of silver. So Zhou Cong's five taels of silver against porcelain Yang Xuening did make a small fortune)

"Therefore, I think it is too difficult for the wealthy families to grasp the handle of Zhou Changshi."

"Did you hear that? Zhou Changshi made an appointment to meet the heads of the Cao and Li families. ”

"It's the Cao and Li families who have left a lot of money from their ancestors, but the men in the family are thin and cowardly and incompetent?"

"That's right. These two are typical soft persimmons, previously supported by Li Fu, the former director of Hongnong, but later Li Fu was not dead, and the head of the party was transferred above. ”

"Now Zhou Changshi wants to pinch these two soft persimmons?"

"It must be. You think, Zhou Changshi turned over the Chunhua soap officials in Chunhua County back then, and killed the county clerk (second in command), a proper cool official. Now there are soft persimmons pinched, why not do it? Besides, the Cao and Li families are just soft persimmons, and they also oppress the township. Zhou Changshi ran the two of them, which can not only solve the problem of money, but also not lose their reputation. ”

"What are you talking about?" It was actually Zhou Cong himself who came to the canteen of the little officials. With cutlery in his hand, it looks like it's serving rice.

"No, I didn't say anything." Everyone shook their heads and said no, but they seemed to have discovered a big secret in their hearts:

On weekdays, it is the official who comes to serve the meal (yes, the second-in-command in the county of Zhou Changshi still eats work meals, unlike other old men with cooks. Serve your own dinner today?

Waiting for Zhou Changshi to leave, everyone thinks it is difficult for Zhou Changshi to take a concubine?

"I think there's a point in it. You think, Zhou Changshi is reluctant to let that official show up. ”

"Yes, isn't Zhou Changshi afraid of being defiled?"

"Well, it's not necessarily true. Besides, there are too many concubines. Which one was really how? ”

On the way back to his yard with tableware, Zhou Cong met Fu Lan, a member of the Department of Industry and Commerce. That Fu Lan was thinking about persuading Zhou Cong to drive the official away recently, in order to prevent extraneous branches, but when she saw Zhou Cong serving dinner by herself, she felt bad and stopped him:

"Long history is so confused. Why do good men have no women? The official trick poured tea and water for Changshi is already Gao Pan, how can Changshi still do it? ”

"General Sun arranged it, and he can't shirk it. In an eventful season, General Sun has to be counted on. Without General Sun, the officials and wealthy families of Xihai County, large and small, would give me face, a person who was abandoned by my family? I'm afraid that no one will obey any of my orders. ”

"Then you can't let Changshi do it yourself, let her sit in peace with a woman's family, right?"

"Alas, be a man, don't be like me and don't keep the slightest flaw. People say I'm not greedy for money, not good at gambling, not good at drinking, not good at dogs and horses, not good at poetry, not good at music. It's hypocritical to the extreme. I am too timid to be greedy for money, so I am afraid of losing money when gambling, I am afraid of making mistakes when drinking, I can't afford dogs and horses, I don't have to be ashamed if I don't have enough poetry, not to mention music, whether it's bells, drums, or harps. That's just lustful, anyway, the official doesn't play for nothing. After saying that, Nunu made a cynical smile and turned to leave.

"Circumference History! Don't let me mistake you! Fu Lan was angry, "Private morality is the greatest power of an official. Because your enemies have no way of attacking you. Zhou Changshi, the four words 'defiled officials' will be a sword for those corrupt officials to deal with you! ”

"Let them come. I just put my clothes around her in a daze, and besides, I really slept with her, and the four words of defiled officials are nothing more than dismissals. ”

"Have you forgotten the ideals of the Yu family to glorify their ancestors and the Yu Gong to support the people of Ji'an?" Fu Lan was even more angry, and she didn't persuade him anymore, walked forward quickly, and immediately rushed in front of Zhou Cong.

Zhou Cong threw the tableware violently, rushed over and hugged him: "Are you crazy? It's just an official trick, why kill her? ”

"You let go of me! Let me kill this red face and scourge water! ”

"If you don't let her go, you don't have to kill her. I don't know how people will catch us when we look like this now! ”
