Chapter 7 Each has his own mind and is strategizing

The lord Bo and the county Cheng left, Zhang Zhong and his party also returned to Jinlai Building, where they had already prepared a place to rest, Zhang Zhong could have had the most well-protected yard, no one thought that,.

Zhang Xiaobao thought that there were twenty guards there to protect, and the current environment was very good, and it was impossible to assassinate a county commander, so he agreed, and found his father at dinner.

"Dad, let the child see that seal of yours, take a good look at it at night, and I'll give it to you tomorrow." Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to rest, they said to their father.

If you change to someone else, Zhang Zhong really won't give it, but if his son wants to see it, then take a look, wrap it in silk cloth and let the two children take it back.

On this night, the lights in the courtyard where Zhang Zhong rested were not extinguished all night, and if you look at the wall from the outside, you can see that there is a figure in the study with his back to the window, moving there for a while.

In a private house in Huayuan County, Xiao Xiancheng and Zhan Zhubo have not slept, the two of them sit on the ground, and there are some drinks and dishes on the small table in the middle, eating and drinking slowly there.

"Brother Yong, you said that this new county order, can we get it for him? We also know that there is no shortage of money, and it seems not easy to make him greedy for some money or accept some bribes from others. ”

Zhan Zhubo asked Xiao Xiancheng opposite.

Xiao Xiancheng picked up the wine, took a sip, picked up the cleaned cucumber next to him, stretched it directly into the sauce bowl and dipped it, took a bite and chewed it slowly, this cucumber was not bought by himself, nor was it given to him by Zhang Zhong, there were two servants, and they wanted to please them, so they sent the cucumbers they received.

Seeing that they accepted the cucumbers, the two officials were quite happy, but they didn't know that these two people had written down the two officials, and decided to find a reason to resign.

Waiting for a mouthful of cucumber to be eaten, Xiao County Chengcai said: "Brother Xiangyun, if you want to get him away, just rely on letting him be greedy for some money and accept some bribes, don't think about it, but we can use other means, he took those booklets back, what did we say at the beginning?" Yes? Hahahaha. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Xiancheng burst out laughing, and Lord Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed non-stop, and said: "It's still not thoughtful at the beginning, we deliberately left some faults in those booklets, and when he looks at it and finds it, he will find it according to this fault, and when the time comes...... He's going to mess with people he shouldn't mess with. ”

"Exactly, and the person he provoked really had nothing to do with the problem in that booklet, what do you think that man would do to him? It's a pity, so many booklets, you have to read for a while, every month, absolutely can't finish reading, even if it's a month, it's just a quick look, that's a few years combined. ”

Xiao Xiancheng laughed for a while, finally stopped, took another bite of the cucumber, and said: "He is also a fool, he obviously gave the recipe of green vegetables in winter, but he was unwilling to be an official in Beijing, but he himself was unwilling to be it, not that others didn't give him it, and the credit for this advice was gone."

A good champion, run to a county, wait for a while, who will remember him, if I am him, I will be a six-grade official in the capital, and the family has money, nothing to find someone to get together, chant a few poems, fame, the emperor also built a pear orchard, then will pay attention to it, maybe I can give a bigger official. ”

"That's taken for granted, who doesn't know that the emperor likes music and rhythm today, as long as he writes a few more poems, and the emperor sings more, it may be easy to be a squire."

Zhan Zhubo also said with regret, and at the same time he was jealous in his heart, why can a person like a fool be admitted to the top prize, and he still chooses to be a county magistrate here, doesn't this cut off the way for himself and others?

The two of them chatted while eating, eating slowly, there was no hot food on the table, there was no need to heat it at all, and it didn't matter if the wine was cold.

After eating for a while, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the window outside, Xiao Xiancheng went over to open the door, and a person in gray clothes lowered his head and said, "Zhang Zhong hasn't slept yet, he has been reading the booklet there." ”

"Okay, go back quickly, see when he sleeps, and tell us when he sleeps." Xiao Xiancheng commanded, closed the door, and returned to the place where he sat cross-legged.

"Brother No, what's wrong?" Zhan Zhubo didn't hear the conversation between the two people, so he asked.

"Okay, he hasn't slept yet, it looks like he's really a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, look, wait for tomorrow to arrange some things for him, see if he can watch at night, it's best to send him some refreshing medicine, then we don't need to do anything else, he will be exhausted."

Xiao Xiancheng smiled gloomily, picked up a cow hoof tendon and threw it into his mouth, chewed hard, chewed it twice and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Jinlai Lou was also opened by their family, and when they went to that place to eat before, who dared to collect money, they were good, and they collected a lot of money."

I only learned today that there is an embroidered picture like a rice seedling on their clothes, and the rice seedling doesn't know who drew it, it's ugly to death, and the guys in Jinlailou have that kind of rice seedling on their clothes, as well as Zhang Zhong's son and the little girl, and there is also such a picture on the clothes. ”

"Yes, I only found out today, but the picture doesn't look too ugly, it's interesting, it's the same as a person, and the eyes, well, it's ugly, it's ugly, let's do it tomorrow according to what we thought yesterday?"

Zhan Zhubo wanted to boast about the cartoon rice seedling pattern, but found that Xiao Xiancheng's face was not good-looking, so he quickly changed his words and talked about other things.

"Well, just do that, so that he doesn't want to be idle all day." Xiao Xiancheng was very satisfied with Zhan Zhubo's attitude, it should have been his lower position, but Zhan Zhubo was a little stupid and listened to him all the time.

The next day, when I got up in the morning, it was time to do things, Zhang Zhong walked out of the courtyard of Jinlai Building with a pair of red eyes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's work and rest time has always been relatively stable, and they also got up and did morning exercises there for a while.

After freshening up again, having breakfast, he followed his father to the yamen, still holding in his hand the silk cloth wrapped in the big seal yesterday, and handed it to him when he saw his father.

"Xiaobao, the two of you should bring a few guards and take a good look around this county, because your father wants to go to the yamen to deal with things." Zhang Zhong saw that the two children were going to follow, so he said to Zhang Xiaobao.

"Dad, the child has never been to the lobby of the yamen, and I don't know how others solve the case, so I just went to take a look." Zhang Xiaobao knew that today's two silly things were going to make a move for his father, of course he couldn't go elsewhere, he was not a child, he didn't have any thoughts, he wanted to play all day long.

"At the beginning, the official asked you and Juan Juan to go over to see what it was like when you were promoted, but you didn't go, but then I remembered it, and besides, I may not be promoted today, how can there be so many things?"

Zhang Zhong didn't know whether to be proud or laugh when he talked about this, the yamen in Sanshui County was no different from his own house, and when the yamen was fine, he asked his son and daughter-in-law to play there, but the two children said that they wouldn't go, and the emperor's nephew also said that the two sons would go to the house to have a look, but they were also rejected by the two children.

How much face can this do, but now the two children want to follow themselves, and they are not ordinary people, the last time the church is not easy, is it not easy to want to go to the church, go back to Sanshui County, there is nothing to do to promote once, think that Xiang will not refuse, the people can't say anything after seeing it, the children of the Zhang family are promoted to play once?

Zhang Xiaobao could guess his father's thoughts, so he said: "Actually, the child is waiting for a day, waiting for his father to ascend to the church, and seeing his father's majestic appearance." ”

"Then go ahead." Zhang Zhong is not good at driving his son and daughter-in-law away, and the two children will not make trouble.

The three of them came to the yamen under the protection of the guards, and as soon as they arrived at the place, before they could go to the back signing room to take a look, there was a person wearing linen and filial piety there with his hand to smash the Dengwen drum that had no movement at all, and the sound of puff was harsh.

"My lord, you are finally here, someone is there in the morning before dawn to beat the drum, the officials persuaded him a few times to no avail, and they dare not do anything to him, so they have to let him knock down, thanks to the sound of this drum is not loud, otherwise it will have to wake up the people around him."

Xiao Xiancheng came earlier, and when he saw Zhang Zhong arrive, he trotted over and said to Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong looked at the broken drum, naturally knew that it couldn't be beaten, yawned, and asked, "Do you know what the matter is?" ”

"Back to the adult, I have already asked, his father is dead, he said that he was killed, and he wants to come over and let the adult help find the murderer."

Xiao Xiancheng told the case again on the side, and there was no paper, just to use his mouth to say, this person's name is Zhang Haozi, and his father arrived in Huayuan County five days ago, but he met a group of gangsters on the mountain east of Huayuan County, and their father and son were attacked by gangsters, but his father died, and he got lucky.

But he was not reconciled, so he secretly followed the gang of masked gangsters until he followed them to Yushu Village, Huayuan County, and found that a gangster had entered a courtyard, and he waited there for three days, only to know that the gangster was Tian Gouzi, a villager of Yushu Village.

Go outside the yamen today to report the case.
