Chapter 24: The Minor Officials of the Prefectural Officer
It's true that money can make ghosts grind.
Zhang Hu refused twice, and picked up the money: "It's a shame!" To tell the truth, I told my son that I was sent by the county to take my son to the county government for questioning, and my son did this, so I couldn't open my mouth. ”
Su Ren smiled: "It's okay, the county is called, naturally go with Brother Zhang, I don't know what the county is looking for me?" ”
Zhang Hu pulled Su Ren into the house and told Liu Wen about the common things: "This bag of salt matter, the county is angry, the son should be careful!" ”
This time I entered the city at night, and I entered the county government with Zhang Hu. I don't know what is going on in the house, and Hou Jian is also here. Behind them are Chang Yuan and Hou Si. Chang Yuan smiled, and Hou Si still had the same dead face. This reminded Su Ren of the pair of King Kong in the temple.
Su Ren knelt down in front of Chang Shi and Hou Jian: "The villain Su Ren visited the county and the school captain." ”
Chang Shi smiled: "Okay, we all know who you are, you don't have to grovel like this, if you really respect the two of us so much, you won't write the names of the two of us on the cloth bag containing salt, I heard that every household in the city now has this cloth bag." ”
Fortunately, these guys didn't know what the right to a name was, so Su Ren naturally wouldn't explain it to them. Su Ren smiled, and then got up. This room is a study for common things, and since it is not a living room, I don't treat him as a guest. A long table, three Taishi chairs, these are all from the hands of Leng Jun. Chang Shi sat behind the long table, Hou Jian sat at Chang Shi, and the remaining chair was definitely reserved for Su Ren.
Su Ren arched his hand and walked towards the chair: "If you want to talk about this matter, the county should thank me." ”
"Nonsense!" Hou Jian was angry: "Both of us are court officials, how can we put our names in the homes of lowly people, this is an insult to the county honor." ”
Su Ren can see it, these two must have discussed it, one sings white-faced, the other sings red-faced, of course, the purpose is simpler, nothing more than asking for money.
After making up his mind, Su Ren hurriedly said, "Captain, forgive me, how about waiting for the villain to finish speaking?" The county and the captain are the parents of my Wenshui County, what is the parent official, that is, the parents of the people, the people put the cloth bags that wrote the names of the two at home, which is the respect for the county and the school captain, the villain heard that many people have put this cloth bag up, this is the people's respect for the two! ”
"Dare to ask the county honor, in this whole world, there are people in that county who respect their county order so much? I'm afraid that only our people in warm water are so grateful to the county, right? ”
I was happy when I was talking about common things, and I nodded again and again. Hou Jian was still angry: "Clever tongue, the county lord asked about the matter of writing our name on the salt bag, and the kid avoided the serious, but it can be seen that this is a big crime of slandering the courtiers." ”
"The captain was surprised! This is a good deed that makes the people remember the benefits of the two parents and officials, how can it be said that it is guilty? ”
Su Ren showed sincerity and fear: "The villain did not mean to insult the two parents and officials, but just to let the people of the county remember that these excellent refined salt came from the hands of the county and the school captain, so that the people are grateful for the kindness of the two parents and officials, but in fact, for the sake of the two, please also ask the county to respect Mingjian." ”
Chang Shi smiled: "Forget it, the two of us together don't have this kid who can speak, I told you just now, to punish his crimes, only pull over and cut him, let him say a word and have no chance, you don't believe it, what now?" ”
Hou Jian snorted coldly, his face bulging like a sitting toad.
Su Ren hurriedly knelt in front of Hou Jian: "The kid dared to write the names of the two parents on the salt bag, I really don't know how to insult the two parents, the kid is willing to be punished, he will definitely visit the door in a few days, and ask the captain for forgiveness." ”
Hou Jian sighed and said to Chang Shi: "It's still the county respect, this kid is very sleek, much more shrewd than us, and now he has completely torn his face with Liu Wen, I don't know how to end it?" ”
Chang Shi also sighed and said to Su Ren: "You caused this incident, you must have an explanation." ”
Su Ren hurriedly promised: "The shopping mall is a process of survival of the fittest, Liu County has been operating official salt for generations, and he does not want to forge ahead, and being eliminated is just a time process, and the kid does not mean to replace it, in fact, for the sake of the people of the county, as long as there is the support of the two parents and officials, the boy will give up this cheap life, and he will have to work hard for tens of thousands of people in Wenshui County to eat good salt." ”
"Do you really want to fight with Liu County?" Chang Shi thought that Su Ren would give up some places, but he didn't expect Su Ren to want to completely collapse Liu Wen.
Chang Shi was a little happy to hear this, but he still had to ask for various reasons.
Su Ren said: "Since I have already fight, I can't give up halfway, the kid still has a lot of ideas in his chest to let the people of Wenshui be fed and clothed, as long as the county agrees, within half a year, my Wenshui will definitely become the leading wealthy county in Shu County." ”
"Is that true?" Often, the eyes are shining.
Hou Jian snorted coldly: "Anyone can say big things, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, this kid will throw away the mess and leave, leaving the two of us to clean up for him." ”
Su Ren raised his head: "Since the captain doesn't believe it, forget it, the kid is an outsider after all, in this case, tomorrow the kid will leave Wenshui, and it can be regarded as giving Liu Xiancheng an explanation." ”
"Nonsense!" Chang Shi said: "Who said that you are an outsider, I have already found out, Su Ren is a person from Wenling, Wenshui County, and a disciple of Chongxu Daoist. ”
Hou Jiandao: "There is no basis for words, but words are evidence." ”
Chang Yuan had already come out from behind Chang Shi with a roll of bamboo slips, handed the brush to Su Ren, and waited for Su Ren to draw with a smile. Su Ren did not hesitate to sign his name on the lower left side of the bamboo slip.
"How can the kid have the means to get rich, but he doesn't have a suitable identity, and a grass man is always unable to do things, if he ......"
"Hahaha!" Chang Shi and Hou Jian glanced at each other, and the two laughed: "What do I say, this kid is not a thing in the pool, give a little sweetness, and you will go to heaven, or not!" From today onwards, you are the county leader of my Wenshui County, specializing in salt and iron affairs, how about this title? ”
"What kind of official is the county leader?"
Hou Jiandao: "The county Zuo is a small official in the county, and he is already the greatest ability of the county, why are you still preparing to be a county order?" Or be a county magistrate? ”
"Don't dare!" Su Ren waved his hand again and again: "This is very good, and the kid will be justified in the future." ”
People don't have the intention of keeping guests, so Su Ren can't stay in vain. It was Zhang Hu who sent Su Ren out of the city gate, said some words of congratulations, and broke up. Walking alone on the road, there were no two ghosts around him with black lights and blind fires. On the mountain beam in the distance, I don't know which one is still lit, flashing to give Su Ren a little courage. The night owl barked miserably, and those who listened to it panicked.
"I'm a wolf from the north......"
Su Ren was still a little scared when he walked alone at night, he had never gone out on such a night, and he didn't even have a street lamp. Today is the fifteenth, it is a sunny day, the moon in the sky is miserable, although I can see the road clearly, but the road shines a sickly white, walking on it is even more panicked. In order to embolden himself, he let out this wolf-like howl.
"Whew......" The wolf in the mountain forest must have felt that he had found his own kind, and hurriedly responded with a howl. Frightened, Su Ren quickly shut up, and the soles of his feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Turning a hillside, I saw a black shadow standing under a big tree in the distance, the shadow was very high, and it stood there motionless. Su Ren was frightened and quickly stopped. Originally, Su Ren never believed in ghosts and monsters. Since coming to Dahan, it seems that my thinking has also changed, and I feel a lot more solemn when I look at the statues in Laojunguan.
"Who? Is it a human or a ghost? ”
"Master, it's me!" Huo Laosi's voice.
Su Ren let out a sigh, and the nerves that were almost scared of urine relaxed: "It turned out to be you, why are you here?" ”
Huo Laosi smiled, and hurriedly put on the clothes in his hand for Su Ren: "Everyone is not at ease, let me go to the city to have a look, I didn't expect to meet here, the county order didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
"Why bother me? Let's make money for him, we are his God of Wealth. ”
Huo Laosi nodded hurriedly. Su Ren smiled: "Not only did he not embarrass me, but he also gave me a petty official, from today onwards, I will be the county leader, in charge of salt and iron affairs, how can I be?" Su Ren, who had never been an official, suddenly mixed into the civil service system of the Han Dynasty, and was quite proud.
"Really!" Huo Laosi hurriedly said happily: "It's okay now, now we can sell salt in the right name, even Liu Wen can't say anything." ”
While talking, the two of them soon returned to Laojunguan. Today is good, except for the youngest Huo Zhilan, who has already slept, everyone else is there. Hawking even carried the shuttle dart that Su Ren made for him yesterday in his hand, and stood at the door of the hall with his legs spread.
Leng Yue served the meal. I ran back and forth for forty or fifty miles this day, and I was really hungry before the water and rice entered. Su Ren ate very deliciously, and kept sending the food to his mouth.
"How? What does the prefectural order say? Leng Jun asked impatiently.
Huo Laosi, as the first person to know the good news, hurriedly explained for Su Ren: "It's okay, the county order has made the master the county assistant, in charge of salt and iron affairs, from today onwards, our salt is the most authentic salt in warm water, and that Liu Wen is completely defeated." ”
"Really!" Several people were very happy, and their faces bloomed with joy, and when they looked at Su Ren again, they suddenly felt that Su Ren was a lot taller. The family didn't even go to sleep, waited for Su Ren to finish eating, gave Su Ren a glass of water, and asked Su Ren to talk about going to the city, especially noting how the county order appointed Su Ren as the county assistant.
Although this county Zuo is a petty official who is not in the stream, in the eyes of these flat-headed people, he is already considered to be outstanding. Su Ren smiled, pulled a chair, put the tea bowl on the table, and said in a hoarse tone: "Anyway, at noon today, Zhang Hu, the head of the county government, came to Laojunguan ,......"
