Chapter 22 Grandpa Ma Kuai

The servant seemed to suddenly remember something, and opened his straw hat again, and looked at the two horses behind Ma Kun. shouted: "This is the long house, where you tie your horse?" It's really blind to your dog's eyes, so quickly tie the horse to the side. Otherwise, the horse will come out of the, and I will tell you to eat the clean. Mara peed, and I told you to drink it clean. Before the words fell, Ma Kun suddenly saw his right hand move, and a whip shadow flashed.

Before the servant could react, the straw hat covering his face had been swept away by the whip, and the whip sheath was still licking his forehead, and it hurt hotly. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he jumped up from the stool and shouted in a long voice: "It's against you, even the poor master dares to fight, aren't you afraid of losing your head?" ”

Ma Kun scolded: "What kind of dog are you, you dare to call yourself a bad master!" He moved his right hand in a row, and several more lashes went down, causing several blood streams to appear on the servant's cheeks. The forced servant couldn't believe his eyes, and completely lost his mind under the pain, and threw himself up with his teeth and claws, trying to hug Ma Kun and scuffle.

Ma Kun has been a servant for decades, and he has a lot of experience in fighting. When the other party got close, he kicked the other person away. When the other party is far away, he whips him. After a few rounds, there were more than a dozen blood marks on the face of the force-servant.

The forceful soldier couldn't attack for a long time, and when he saw that the other party had a weapon in his hand, he suddenly opened his mind and shouted: "There is a kind of you don't move, look how Lao Tzu abolished you." Turning around and going back to the house, he dragged out a water and fire stick from the corner of the wall, and smashed it on Ma Kun's head when it was rounded. If it is smashed solidly, if Ma Kun is not stoned to death, Ma Kun will be smashed into a concussion. He thought that Ma Kun would dodge, and he had already left his back hand, but Ma Kun suddenly threw away the whip in his hand, opened the placket of his clothes, stood with his hands on his waist, and shouted: "You dare to hurt a hair of mine, I tell you not to see the sun tomorrow!" ”

The laborer said, "I will smash it with a stick, and I don't know who will not see the sun tomorrow." This man will not lose his mind, come here to find death! "At the thought of death, the servant suddenly felt weak, and the man in front of him was neither a thief nor a murderer, and he killed someone without paying for his life! The strength of his subordinates couldn't help but decrease a lot, and the castration of the water and fire stick was much slower. He looked at Ma Kun again, and saw that after Ma Kun opened the placket, he revealed the waist card hanging from his waist.

The lieutenant has the obligation to assist the officials in apprehending criminals, so the servants who are on an errand in the lieutenant chambers usually deal with the most are the lieutenants, so they are very clear about the waist cards of the lieutenants and can be recognized at a glance.

And the waist card he saw was unmistakably the waist card used by the officials, but it was much better than the common waist card materials, and the craftsmanship was much better.

Although the servant didn't know how to read, he couldn't understand what official position was written on the waist card. But he knew that there was no difference in the appearance and style of the waist tags used by the officials, but the better the materials and the better the handworkmanship, which meant that the higher the position of the person in the officials.

When the water and fire stick was only a few inches away from Ma Kun's head, the force worker quickly stopped, and then saw the two horses behind Ma Kun. Those are two ordinary horses, those are two official horses, which are used by the horses in the official service. He hurriedly threw the water and fire stick in his hand, knelt on the ground, and slapped himself while saying, "Please spare your life, the little one will not dare anymore." Please spare your grandfather, the little one will never dare again! ”

Ma Kun snorted coldly and sat down behind the desk when he entered the room. The forced laborer, kneeling in front of Ma Kun's case, was still slapping himself, and was still saying words to spare his life.

Ma Kun was unhurried, and said in a long tone: "Now you know who I am?" ”

The laborer said, "Yes, yes! ”

Ma Kun said: "Then tell me who I am?" ”

The laborer said, "You are Grandpa Ma Kuai." The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and asks Grandpa Ma Kuai to spare his life. ”

Ma Kun was a little crying and laughing. There are three classes of servants, and the lowest class is the soap officer, who does some work as a gatekeeper and a roadkeeper. Usually when guarding the door, I make some extra money, and among all the servants, it is the least amount of food and silver, and it is also the least extra money. The second level is the fast pace, as the name suggests, that is, the fast arrest of criminals on two legs. There is more silver than soap, and the extra money is more than that of soap. The first level is horse speed, which is to ride a horse to investigate cases and hunt down criminals. Because there are horses to travel, there are more cases investigated, more criminals are pursued, and there is more extra money to get correspondingly.

Ma Kun is the leader of the yamen, that is, the head of the three classes of yamen, but now he is underestimated as Ma Kuai, how not to discourage him. However, in a poor country like Wangwu, it is rare to see fast steps, but fast horses, let alone him, the head of the government. He took the force, and the fire in his heart was almost gone, and he waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

The servant said, "Thank you, Grandpa Makuai, for sparing his life." Hurriedly got up from the ground, licked his face and smiled: "Grandpa Ma Kuai is working hard, the little one is going to make a pot of good tea?" ”

Ma Kun thought for a moment. This time, he accompanied Li Feibai out under the guise of investigating the case, and it was impossible to have less time to investigate the case, and meeting Li Feibai too soon would make Li Feibai suspicious, so he had to spend some time here, so he nodded.

Soon, the laborer brewed the tea and brought it up. Tea is not a good tea, Ma Kun took a sip and stopped drinking it, and said, "What about your elders?" ”

The laborer said: "Go down with Brother Bu Kuai to urge food!" ”

The so-called urging of grain is to let the villages that have not yet handed over the imperial grain to the imperial grain as soon as possible. This is a fat difference, those who go to urge the grain, go to a village that has not paid all the imperial grain, they will rummage through the cabinets, and when they encounter anything valuable, they will stuff it into their arms, and the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep that cannot be stuffed will be taken away. Originally, I went to urge five taels of imperial grain, but in addition to taking things to cover five taels of imperial grain, there will be eight or nine taels more to fill my private pockets. When a village comes down, it can collect nearly 100 taels more, each official can divide a few taels, the head of the squad can divide dozens of taels, and a village, the income can even reach hundreds of taels, and you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years. As for those peasant households who were forced to die and sell their sons and daughters, what does it have to do with them, wouldn't there be no such calamity if you paid the imperial grain early?

And this year, the new emperor ascended the throne, and heard that Henan had been in drought for several years, and half of the emperor's grain was reduced, which can be described as the emperor's grace. But the emperor's grace could not reach the farmers, although the grain reminder stamps issued by the county order were clearly written, and the imperial grain was halved. But how many peasant households can read and write, and they are not urging grain to pay as much as they say? Even if there are literate farmers, do they dare to ask for food stamps? The boss slapped down with a mouth, believe it or not, lock you to go to the county government to squat in prison? It is equivalent to half of the imperial grain going into the pocket of the food urging, so the oil and water are huge!

Originally, this year, Ma Kun was going to personally lead the class to urge the emperor's grain, after all, the whole county went down, and it was not a problem for him to divide a thousand children and eight hundred taels. But there was an incident in which Qian Zijun was injured, and he couldn't get out of it for a while. And the head of the fast team got two hearts, leaving aside his way to drill the county and win the errand of urging the emperor grain this year. This kind of disloyal and unrighteous guy can be the leader of the fast team without his support? The mountains don't turn around, and one day they have to be cleaned up, otherwise how to lead the three classes of officials, but there is no chance yet.

The taste of the tea was really not very good, but Ma Kun was indeed a little thirsty after a morning of travel, so he took another sip and said, "Which village did you go to to urge the emperor to grain?" ”

The laborer said: "Go to Xiapan Village to urge the emperor's grain!" ”

Ma Kun was taken aback and exclaimed, "What? He jerked up from his chair, the tea in his hand swaying in the cup, some of the tea spilling onto the back of his hand. Ma Kun was burned by the tea, let go of his hand, and the cup fell to the ground and was beaten to pieces.
