Chapter 90: There is no good feast
The first person Lao Cheng called was Meng Yuan, who was recommended by Sun Lu. Cheng Yanjin, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, learned from him about the situation among these county officials.
There are only four officials at the county level, and the county order is the lord of a county; The county Cheng is the first deputy in charge of the money and grain taxes, and the county lieutenant who is in charge of public security and handling cases is the eighth product; The last one is the main bookkeeper of the Ninth Grade, who is in charge of the correspondence.
Further down are the officials, most dozens of people, less than seven or eight people. Of course, if you count the soap, fast, and strong servants, there are more than 1,000 and 1,200 few.
Although Qi Wei has a large local power, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, and after a period of talking, Cheng Yanjin really found a warden named Li Ren among the Zuo Erguan, who is a Confucian in charge of education, although he is not in the grade, but he is very high, and he has always been at odds with Qi Wei.
This Li Ren is not alone, the head of the torture room and the warehouse in the county have a good relationship with him; These people are Qi Wei's thorn in the eye and flesh in the county government.
With a breakthrough, Lao Cheng was very happy in his heart, and when he came out of the county office again today, he had a smile on his face, and he had just come out of the door; A person intercepted him and sent a big red invitation: "Lord Cheng, our master has invited the gentry of the whole city to invite you to a banquet in the Xianfeng Tower in the evening, congratulations to Lord Cheng!" ”
Cheng Yanjin was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Which one is your master?" The man raised his fists with both hands and said very respectfully: "Our lord is the retainer of the king of the mountain, Lord Yang." ”
Cheng Yanjin had the arrogant appearance of the old housekeeper in his mind; He nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" Please reply to your lord, just say that I will arrive on time! ”
"Yes!" The little one retired. The man said yes and turned to leave. Cheng Yanjin sneered: "The tiger really thinks I'm a sick cat if I don't show my might!" We'll see! So saying, he got on his horse and returned to his home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiong Kuohai standing at the door, Cheng Biting Jin Fei dismounted and said: "Kuohai, you came just in time, you will go to Zhechong Mansion in a while and bring 100 trapped regiments to come over, I will be useful." ”
Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it!" Also, bite the gold, I have already sent the father and daughter home to you. ”
"Good!" Cheng Yanjin agreed and was just about to leave, but suddenly stopped Xiong Kuohai and said, "Kuohai, what did you just say?" What do you mean to send me to everyone. ”
Xiong Kuohai pouted and said, "You asked me to send them out of the city, but I asked where their relatives lived?" They said that they didn't know, but they said that they had contacted them a few years ago, and they heard that their relatives had settled in Dong'e and had a pair of children, the boy was named Wang Hu, and the daughter was called Wang Erya.
Their family is in trouble, and there is no way to leave their hometown and come here to bang their luck to see if they can find that relative. ”
Lao Cheng exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that it would be a relative of the Erya family." Did you send them to Yangsan? Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "Yes, send it to the lake and hand it over to Liang Menglong, and I'll be back." ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "Okay, you go to the barracks to find someone!" Today, the morning glow is full of sky, the sunset is like blood, and it is a good weather to kill people. ”
Xiong Kuohai was slightly stunned, licked his lips and ran away; Cheng Yanjin returned home and cleaned up a little, and waited until it was getting late before he stepped on a waist knife and walked out of the door.
At this time, the Xiongkuo kelp people had already arrived, and in addition to bringing 100 Xiangyong from the trapped group, even Zheng Po and Wang Hu also followed.
"Come with me!" Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand and led them straight to the Fairy Wind Tower. When they got there, there were more than a dozen family members with sticks in their hands outside the Xianfeng Tower, standing there majestically, and the young man who sent the invitation to Cheng Yanjin walked back and forth at the door.
Cheng Yanjin asked Xiong Kuohai and the others to stop, and walked over first; As soon as the young man saw him, he quickly ran up and complained: "Master Cheng, your shelf is too big!" A room full of squires has been waiting for you for a long time; This old lady has spoken, let you report to the door! ”
When the servants standing at the door heard this, they raised the sentry gang in their hands and set up a small alley to let Cheng bite the golden diamond.
Lao Cheng smiled slightly: "It seems that you haven't figured out what kind of person I am, and you don't know what the situation is now." Ignoring the young man's surprised gaze, Lao Cheng waved his hand, and a group of people rushed up from behind, knocking the young man and a group of house slaves to the ground.
Cheng Yanjin said to Zheng Po: "Xiaopo, you take people to guard here, Kuohai and Wang Hu will go up with me to meet them." ”
Zheng Po agreed, and then with a wave of his hand, this hundred fallen townsmen surrounded the Xianfeng Tower. Cheng Yanjin took Xiong Kuohai and Wang Hu to step up to the Xianfeng Tower.
On the second floor of the Xianfeng Building, there were about twenty or thirty people, and the old lady Yang that Cheng Yanjin saw two days ago sat in the middle, and the county lieutenant Qian Kun and the former county Cheng Qiwei were also present. There was also a group of squires and some social figures sitting around.
Seeing Cheng Biting Jin and Xiong Kuohai swaggering up, these people were slightly stunned, and said that they would enter the door with a good report? Why didn't you report this and came up?
Old Lady Yang snorted coldly: "Waste! A hideous-looking blue-faced man sitting next to him had a somewhat unsightly face; Those who thought to come outside were his men.
Cheng Yanjin came to the second floor and found that everyone was sitting on chairs, and the only vacant thing was a small round stool leaning against the door.
Cheng Yanjin didn't say anything and glanced around, and at this time, a young man wearing a single coat, high sleeves, and a terrifying scar on his face came out from behind the blue-faced man.
He walked up to Cheng Yanjin and said loudly: "The surname is Cheng, you are very arrogant!" I have heard your name, and have defeated tens of thousands of thieves; The big hero who saved Dong'e County? But in our Dong'e County, you're not even a fart!
Last time there was a guy who was arrogant in front of me, do you know how I dealt with him? I'll cut off his head and kick it as a ball!
See the scar on my face? Once, four men besieged me, and I cut three of them and scared one away; The master was also a little injured. ”
Cheng Yanjin glanced at him and sneered: "So you have a lot of lives on your hands?" The scarred youth laughed and said, "Nonsense! Whoever does our business has no blood on his hands; I don't dare to say more, a dozen or twenty people have always been killed.
See our boss? Dong'a green-faced tiger! At the beginning, it was a character who had to tremble three times when he stomped his feet in the county, and the people who died at the hands of our boss were not a hundred but eighty! It's just that his old man is now washing his hands and doing business, do you know Xiangliuyuan? That's what our boss opened! ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "As long as you admit it." With a wave of his hand, Wang Hu rushed up with an arrow step, knocked the scarred young man to the ground, and slashed down without saying a word.
"Ahh Everyone didn't expect that he would say that he would do it, and as soon as he exclaimed, Wang Hu had already cut off the head of the young man with the scar, and blood flowed all over the ground; The faces of these people are pale.
The green-faced tiger stood up and pointed at Cheng Yanjin and scolded: "Bold thief, the person who dares to hurt me, I'm not done with you!" ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled, slowly walked in front of him and said, "That's right! You can't finish thinking about this matter, your subordinates have already said that you still have a hundred and ten lives on your hands? I'll take you back and torture you properly! ”
The blue-faced tiger shouted: "It depends on whether you have the ability or not!" After speaking, he punched Cheng Yanjin and hit him.
Lao Chengyi reached out and grabbed his wrist and shouted: "Be honest with me!" Then he struck forward, and the green-faced tiger rose to its feet and slammed into the floor with a thud.
Wang Hu stepped forward and pointed a knife at his neck and said, "Don't move!" The blue-faced tiger really didn't dare to move.
Cheng Biting Jin sat next to Steward Yang, he turned his head to Qian Kun next to him and said, "Qian Kun, you are very unqualified as a county lieutenant!" How can this kind of ruffian hooligan murderer also get into the squire's team in a grand manner. I'm not satisfied with this matter, so let my people help you manage the order! ”
