Chapter 172, Nine-Tailed Turtle

There is a one-month gap between the wheat harvest and the millet planting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

During this period, some farmers and some idle drifters were busy plowing the land.

After a long day of work, I came to this Jusheng restaurant to drink some village mash and eat a few plates of salted edamame.

Relaxes the mood and dissolves fatigue.

But not all floaters are good at plowing the ground.

The other part of the floaters is currently waiting at home. They are mostly good at sowing, digging manure, fertilizing, and hoeing. For the time being, when the ploughing is done, it will be their turn.

So the floating customers in Pandian were divided into two groups, some were busy and some were free.

Nominally, all of them live in their employer's home. On the door of the main household, the household card naturally follows the rules, and the origin, name and year of these floating guests are signed.

But it's just a formality.

In fact, during the busy farming season, the courtyard of the main house often does not provide enough space for the floor. Theoretically, the bunk at night in summer is extremely simple, and you can sleep with a casual mattress. Actually, it doesn't work.

Mosquito bites are rampant after the wheat harvest. If there are no mosquito nets in the open air, most of them will not be able to sleep all night, which will affect the next day's work.

As a result, there are many floaters who nominally place orders in the master's house, but secretly come to sleep in these foot shops. Foot shops also do not provide tall props such as mosquito nets. But there are more than enough empty rooms. Close the doors and windows, burn a few handfuls of Chen Ai, and you will be able to sleep peacefully.

Therefore, more than a dozen small and small foot shops in Pandian will also illegally stay a few floating customers at night.

Small shops can accommodate more than a dozen, and large stores can accommodate dozens of them.

It's not a serious room either. It is a private room and a lobby, and the dining table is put together to form a bunk.

This is illegal. But the government and the Shenxiao Palace turned a blind eye.

Allowing the floaters to get a better night's sleep is undoubtedly good for farming.

Let the host properly arrange the sleep of the helper, the vast majority of the host family is weak. Let the floaters follow the rules and go to the legal inn, and hang their respective lists on the inn's account card, which is too expensive, and the floaters are actually reluctant to pay that money.

As a result, there is a gray area that is not legal, but beneficial to farming.

In this gray management model, the most afraid of making a criminal case happens. Once the trouble comes out, it alarms the criminal department, the paper can't contain the fire, and everyone from the chief to the local officials is at fault. It will directly get a bad evaluation, which will delay the performance evaluation of local grinding officials.

So the witty and cunning local officials came up with a good solution.

That is to use some of the leaders with relatively large energy in the floaters, that is, the heroes of the rivers and lakes, that is, the black and astringent members who are often referred to in later generations.

Once something happens, let these people take care of it. confessed all the crimes that should be confessed, so that the matter could be quickly settled before the criminal officer arrived. In this way, it is better for the yamen to turn a blind eye and no longer investigate deeply. It will not expose the problems of local management violations, and it will not seriously drag down the political voice of local officials.

The arraignment officer is also a normal person.

If it is a headless unsolved case, the criminal yamen will naturally follow the vine to investigate. The Great Song Dynasty has never lacked reasoning and detection experts like Song Ci.

If Song Ci hadn't arrived at the scene of the crime, the lawsuit would have already been resolved. The prisoners, witnesses, sufferers, murder weapons, and descriptions of the process of the crime were all ready and properly sent to the Song officials. Even if it is Song Ci, there is no need to continue to be more serious. He will accept the conclusion of such an investigation with the water.

Playing with this set of techniques is the most skillful means of local officials.

If Song Jiang is the setting in the Water Margin, he is such an unscrupulous little official who cheats all day long.

A clerk is not an official.

The Great Song Dynasty looked down on the filth and despicability of the officials from the time of Taizu. The imperial examination system of the Great Song Dynasty strictly stipulated that minor officials were not allowed to refer to it. In this way, in terms of fame and progress, the future of the small official is not as good as that of an ordinary farmer with no criminal record.

As a result, these petty officials have no desire to struggle upward, so they can only intensify their efforts, cheat more, and accumulate more money.

It can be said that this is the most stupid flaw in the system of the Great Song Zhao Dynasty. They also want to use these grassroots officials to do things, and deprive others of their future and honor. It's no wonder that such a ruler is not black.

However, this Pandian is under the supervision of the elders of Shenxiao Palace, and is not under the supervision of Xiangfu County and Zhongmu County. As a result, this Pan shop does not have a black-bellied and experienced official like Song Jiang.

Everything can only rely on the two priests sent by the Shenxiao Palace to supervise this place.

Did this Taoist priest conscientiously study the ability of those Great Song Dynasty filthy officials? Clearly, there is none!

The Taoist priests are currently quite promoted by the officials, and they are all very proud. It is rumored that Taoist priests will soon open a Taoist department, and they will also be able to embark on an official career. Theoretically, it has become an equal origin with students. This is not comparable to the mediocre and unproductive officials.

Pan Weixin knows the stinky temper of the Taoist priests.

I am afraid that these two priests will make a big fuss about the trivial matter, and stab this murder case into the sky, and stab it into the Kaifeng Mansion or the Yamen.

Pan Weixin had the heart to personally talk to the two priests. But he couldn't leave. The villagers have already begun to report that Pan Bao is guarding the regimental training office and cannot leave without permission for half a step.

I had to send my nephew Pan Fourteen out to cooperate with the two Si Gong Immortal Masters.

Pan Shishi is a shrewd child, if he is placed in the county office, he can also be mixed into an excellent knife and pen officer.

Pan Weixin can only hope that this nephew of his own family, who is smart and smooth enough, can speak with a three-inch tongue that is not rotten, and obediently follow the popular black box method in the officialdom to smooth out this lawsuit mellowly.

Don't take it seriously! Don't make a big deal out of it!

I just hope that the two fallen immortals sent by the Shenxiao Palace to supervise will not be arrogant, not willful, and don't make things bigger.

According to Pan Baochang's understanding, these two Taoist priests are quite unreliable.

If Pan Baochang knew the future word "neurotic", he would have assumed that both Taoist priests were neurotic. Their condition is extremely precarious. When you are in a good mood, you are a good grassroots cadre who is very smart and knows everything. The thing that is in a bad mood is that it is completely two mad dogs with a bar.

The incident happened suddenly, and I can only pray for the heavenly spirit, the earth spirit, and the Taishang Laojun to show a spirit, so that your two good apprentices don't make a mistake and obediently wipe this matter over.

Pan Baochang has done his best, and he can only plan this step at most. The rest had to resign themselves to fate.

Si Zheng Daoren's movements were one step slower than Zhang Ruhui's.

When the Taoist priest on duty strode to the door of the Jusheng Hotel, Zhang Ruhui had already strode into the Jusheng compound.

Pan 14 was the "fast foot" sent by Pan Baochang to summon the message, and of course he followed this Taoist priest step by step, providing him with the advice of senior filthy officials at any time.

This person knows Zhang Ruhui. Seeing Zhang Ruhui entering, this person stopped.

Pan Shivan didn't recognize who the one in front of him was.

Strangely: "Why didn't the teacher leave?" Could it be that he is not on good terms with the little gentleman in front of him? ”

In these years, it was customary to refer to a capable Taoist priest as a teacher or teacher.

Zhang Ruhui looks younger than this supervising Taoist priest, so he is naturally Mr. Xiao.

Pan Shishi's words were wrong.

The Taoist priest who was accompanied by Pan Shishi was surnamed Tao, and before he became a monk, he had done some inverted digging and digging graves, so that he had a good hand in Luoyang shovel kung fu, and the people in the rivers and lakes called the nine-tailed turtle.

Maybe it was some fairy treasure that he dug up when he robbed the tomb, and suddenly he understood it and became a Taoist priest.

Or maybe it was to contribute the excavated things to the Elder Shenxiao, and to be rewarded by the Great Elder, he placed such a messenger who supervises the township now.

Although Daoist Tao is older than this Zhang Ruhui, he will never dare to call this Zhang Ruhui a junior brother.

Just kidding, Zhang Ruhui is a closed disciple of Liu Shenxian.

The status is very detached.

Like a fake Taoist priest who is a halfway monk like Tao Daoren, in front of Zhang Ruhui, I am afraid that he will respectfully call him a little uncle, and may even be a little uncle.

How to calculate this generation, Tao Dao people themselves are not particularly clear.

Under normal circumstances, one of these two people is in the sky and the other is on the ground, and they can't face each other at all. Therefore, no one has taught the Tao family how to greet Xiao Zhang Zhenren.

Zhang Ruhui is not a serious real person at the moment, but Liu Mingkang's apprentice will inevitably mix to the real person level sooner or later, which is a clear thing. There's nothing wrong with calling him a little Zhang Zhenren in advance.

"Xiao Pan, don't you dare to be nonsense!" Tao Daoren frowned, his tone was kind, and he mentioned Pan Shishi very gently, "That's not a little gentleman, wait a minute, you have to call him Zhang Zhenren respectfully." ”

While telling me like this, I wondered, what did this little Zhang Zhenren want to do when he came down the mountain at night?
