"Lingzi, will the master take you to see your eldest brother in prison tomorrow?" Lotte, who was enjoying a massage with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said.

As soon as he was called a few times, Lotte was eroded by the rotten system, and he changed his title.

"Is what the master said true?" Ryoko said in disbelief.

Lotte closed his eyes and smiled: "How can the master lie to you!" ”

"But the slave family has no money and that prison!" Lingzi pursed his lips and said: "In the past, the slave and maid wanted to go to the prison to see their brother, and the prison that guarded the door asked the slave and maid to hang two dollars, and the slave and maid had no money to deal with him, so the prison was so fierce that the slave and maid were driven away!" ”

Lotte snorted coldly and said proudly: "With your master here, which prison dares to ask for your money?" ”

Hearing Lotte's words, Ryoko jumped up with joy, and a pair of small hands pinched and worked harder on Lotte's body.

On the morning of the second day, Lotte took Lingzi to the county government office, and asked Lingzi to wait outside the yaya first, and then came out to visit the prison with Lingzi after he had ordered it.

The point was delayed for some time, and Lotte was afraid that the little girl would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly walked outside, and before Lotte came out of the second hall, he heard a shouting and scolding outside.

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! Out of the second hall and came to the lobby, Lotte saw a prison nostrils facing the sky in the right corner of the lobby and scolded Lingzi: "I don't have money and want to visit the prison, if you are all merciful, you tell Lao Tzu to drink the northwest wind!" ”

Some book friends want to ask why Lotte came to the lobby and actually saw the prison; That's because in ancient times, prisons were located in the right corner of the county hall, and the main reason why the prison was set up here was to facilitate the arraignment of prisoners at any time.

"Master......" Lingzi, who was scolded in prison, saw Lotte and pouted with tears.

Lotte said to the prisoner, "Let this girl go to her brother!" ”

"It turned out to be Lottistra!" The prisoner recognized Lotte and smiled slightly: "This Zhang Biao is a death row prisoner to be beheaded after the autumn, and the villain has no ...... for people to visit."

"How?" Lotte raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with the prison excuse.

"Death row prisoners are not allowed to be visited, and the face of the Coke Sticker is still to be given, even if the small one is scolded by the eldest master......" Speaking of this, the prisoner smiled and stretched out his hand.

"What do you mean?" Lotte was a little puzzled.

"Tiji is also a person who has done fast catching, and he doesn't even know this rule?" There was a hint of mockery in the prisoner's eyes.

Raising his eyebrows, Lotte said, "You even accept Le's regular money?" ”

The prisoner also smiled coldly, and said jokingly: "Le Tiesi has been working in the yamen for so long, don't you even know this rule, and you don't have to see any prisoners without a few hanging money!" ”

Hearing this, Lotte was furious in his heart, he had the eldest and second masters as backers in the county government, and a prisoner dared to ask for benefits from himself blatantly, and yesterday he was still blowing nonsense in front of Lingzi, and immediately felt that he had lost face in front of his own slaves.

Over the past few days, he has gradually cultivated arrogance, so that Lotte can no longer hold back his anger, snatched his arm and slapped the prison hard, only to hit the prison with blood from his nose and mouth, and gold stars in his eyes.

The prison came back to his senses and began to shout at Lotte, which immediately attracted many catchers and officials to watch.

Seeing that it was Lotte beating people, many officials and catchers dispersed as if they were fine, but in the crowd, Lotte found that Lu Abshi's eyes seemed to be a little unkind. When the prisoner saw Lu Absi, he seemed to see the backbone of the main heart, and shouted: "Lottie wants to see the death row prisoner, but the little official doesn't allow it, so this Lottie will beat the villain!" ”

This prison actually dared to reverse black and white, Lotte was angry in his heart, grabbed his arm and opened the bow left and right, and slapped him several times in a row.

"Beat someone to death......" was beaten in front of everyone, and the screams of the prison became louder and louder, and even called all the pedestrians who passed by the county government to watch.

At this time, a back hall door ran out, and everyone shouted: "The eldest lord ordered me to ask, who is disturbing the county government?" "The men in the back hall are often close to the old man, and these officials should be polite.

Seeing that the prison with bleeding from his nose and mouth was holding Lotte, the back hall was clear in his heart, and he trotted all the way back to the inner hall.

After a while, the back hall doorman ran to the front hall again and said, "Le Tisi, the eldest master summons!" ”

"I'll come back to you to settle the score!" Lotte pushed the cell away and snorted coldly. Then he said to Lingzi: "You wait for me here, I have seen the eldest master and then come to take you to see your brother!" ”

A group of officials and catchers glanced at the prison, and shook their heads with mockery in their eyes, Renjia Le Tiesi is a red man in front of the big man, and you are a little overwhelmed by the lowly prison.

Stepping into the second hall, the inner hall disciple said to Lotte: "Do you know who that prison is?" ”

"Who?" Lotte was puzzled.

Seeing that there was no one around, the inner hall disciple whispered: "The prisoner's surname is Lu, and he is the nephew of Lu Zhusi, and the Confucian student who was scolded by the priest some time ago is the cousin of this prison!" ”

Lotte knew in his heart that there was no wonder that this prisoner dared to make it difficult for himself to ask for benefits, it turned out that there was such a reason.

"As a scribe, but he didn't change his bad habits, and actually beat his colleagues in the county office, wouldn't it be undignified!" Seeing Lotte enter the signing room, General Chen Zhixian shouted loudly.

Hearing the old man's reprimand, Lotte didn't dare to make a sound. After all, Fang is the first to do it himself, and the first is to lose.

Seeing that Lotte didn't dare to squeak, Chen Zhixian snorted heavily and said, "This official thinks that you have a little talent, and I will use it for you, but why are you idle all these days, don't you live up to the official's expectations of you!" ”

"Back to the old man's words, his subordinates have not been lazy and slippery these days, they are all investigating the old case according to the old master's intentions, and finally found Zhang Biao's sister, today I plan to take the girl to see Zhang Biao, I want to see some clues from it, but unexpectedly, Lu Jiaozi in the prison room asked his subordinates to ask for filial piety, and his subordinates have limited monthly income, and they were scolded in a hurry to beat the prison!" Lotte exonerated himself directly.

"Don't change your true colors, still speak and quibble!" For Lotte's words, Chen Zhixian also believed a little in his heart, the reason why he called Lotte, Chen Zhixian also heard someone report that Lotte had gone out of the office privately after these days, and beat Lotte in person, so as not to have any ugliness because of the momentary gain, so that he and Yan Zhuji were disgraced.

Just as Chen Zhixian was reprimanding Lotte, there was a knock on the door outside the signing room, and then Lu Zhusi, who was holding a stack of account books, walked in, and said: "The eldest lord arranged the accounts of his subordinates, and all the subordinates have calculated it, please take a look at it!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhixian presented the account book in his hand. Fang just heard Lotte being reprimanded by Zhixian outside the door, and a smile of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

"It's not a small amount!" After flipping through a few pages of accounts, Chen Zhixian frowned.

It turned out that the imperial court had recently issued an edict ordering all prefectures and counties to set up various institutions to help the poor, weak, orphaned and young.

Lu Zhisi continued: "My lord, these accounts presented by my subordinates are only the silver money spent on the construction of Futian Yuan, Anjifang, the Salesian Bureau, and the purchase of the land of the Leaky Garden, not including the expenses for the operation of these charities! ”

"The Futian Yuan, which adopts beggars, the disabled, and the widows, or the Salesian Bureau, which is responsible for the adoption of bereaved infants and abandoned children, can be set up outside the city, and the money spent on each mu of land can be ten or more than 30 yuan, and at least 30 acres of land are needed, and the construction of houses will cost at least 6 or 700 yuan in labor and brick and tile materials, and the sum of the two should be about 1,200 yuan; The Anjifang for medical administration must be located in front of the county government, and it is necessary to buy a house facing the street, which requires at least three or five hundred yuan, and then this Anjifang needs to purchase medicines, and it is also necessary to set up two medicine boys in Langzhong to count the names, and the cost is even more incalculable; As for the cost of the drainy garden responsible for the burial, it costs less, but it also takes nearly 100 yuan to buy a piece of land, and it is estimated that the minimum cost is more than 2,400 yuan! ”

Chen Zhixian nodded right and said to Lotte: "You take a look at this account!" Then he said to Lu Abshi: "You go down first, and the official will make plans with you after a little consideration!" After Lu Zhu retreated to the door, Chen Zhixian said to Lu Zhu Si again: "You go and invite Master Yan to come!" ”

Hearing Chen Zhixian's words, Lu Zhisi's face was slightly unhappy, but he still bowed and retreated.

Looking through the accounts, Lotte patted his ass and said: "The prime minister has done this benevolent and righteous act, which is a great good!" ”

"Are you really intentional about doing good when you are a traitor to Cai Jing?" Chen Zhixian changed his previous calm appearance, and said hatefully: "Cai Jing steals the phase, and he does this just to sell his name and whitewash the peace, so he can barely do some good deeds!" ”

When the words fell, Chen Zhixian knew that he was speechless, and paused for a moment before he said: "Although these projects are for the benefit of the people, if they continue to operate for a long time, and the small officials are greedy for ink and spend a lot of money every year, the county government will have no money to spare for a long time!" ”

Why did Chen Zhixian get angry and scolded Cai Jing, Lotte knew in his heart that this Chen Zhixian's uncle was a famous Qing official Chen Qian of this dynasty, who had been persecuted by Cai Jing and was degraded several times, so he lost his temper in front of Lotte for a while.

The door of the signing room opened, and Master Yan walked in and said, "What is the matter with the county honoring the lower officials?" ”

Seeing that Lotte was in the signing room, Master Yan nodded to Lotte, and Lotte hurriedly saluted the master of the bookkeeper.

Chen Zhixian said: "Lord Bookkeeper, take a look at the account book sent by Lu Zhisi!" ”

Picking up the account book and flipping through a few pages, Master Yan said: "Although these projects don't seem to cost much, but if you look closely, the burden of the county government every year is getting heavier and heavier!" ”

"This official invited the master to come here, precisely for this purpose!" Chen Zhixian said helplessly.

Master Yan turned his gaze to Lotte and asked, "Le Tiesi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Lu Abbot has planned all the expenses clearly, and his subordinates really don't see anything wrong!" Lotte doesn't know what to do.

"Who told you to say this useless!" Master Yan's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Your courage to kill talents is getting bigger and bigger, I just heard that you are beating the door in the county hall with this killing talent, if this official doesn't beat you with thirty boards to be a police officer today, it is inevitable that you will make mistakes in the future, and lose the face of the county lord and the official!" ”

Hearing the words of the master of Yan, Lotte hurriedly said: "Don't listen to the words of the master of the master of the book, that Lu Prison was originally the cousin of Lu Rusheng, who had embarrassed the villain in the night banquet of the official mansion that day, and today his subordinates went to the prison to handle the things entrusted by the master of the master book, but he was extorted money by the master of the Lu prison, and his subordinates were so angry that they beat the Lu prison!" ”

"Get up!" Master Yan waved his hand to let Lotte get up, and said: "Let's write down these thirty boards for the time being, if you can come up with an idea, after the completion of these many institutions, how to reduce the consumption of money and food, this official will remove this punishment!" ”

Master Yan gave himself a big problem, but if these thirty boards were next to him, not only would his colleagues laugh at him, but he would also not be able to stand the pain of flesh and skin, so he began to think hard about the problems that Master Yan confessed to himself.

These are all expenditure-based finances, and it is simply difficult to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

With a long sigh, Chen Zhixian said helplessly: "Helping the old and weak, caring for orphans, and don't need to spend money on medicine and medicine, and only bury the dead It costs less!" ”

After thinking for a while, Lotte spoke: "If you want to save some money by helping the old and weak and caring for orphans, it is not too difficult to do it!" ”

"Whoa!" Hearing Lotte say this, Chen Zhixian's eyes flashed with a little joy: "What can I do?" ”
