Chapter 7: The Body in the Well
Zhuo County came to a new county order, this person has a lot of background, maybe it was Zhang Xiang's appearance that made Zhuo County rich, which attracted such a person, this person is the son of the Zhen family in Changshan, Jizhou.
Although it is only a side child, and the Zhen family is only a family of businessmen, there is no doubt about the power in Hebei, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention the Zhen family with power all over Hebei.
The newly appointed county magistrate of Zhuo County is called Zhen Ti, and as soon as he takes office, he is a lion who opens his mouth! Looting people's fat and ointment everywhere, and the Zhang family, who is a wealthy family in Zhuo County, is of course the first to bear the brunt, Zhang Xiang can only swallow his anger considering the identity of the Zhen family.
Not only that, Zhang Xiang also gave the newly appointed county commander twice the bonus, Zhen Ti of course couldn't open his eyes with joy, and exaggerated that Xiang was talented, and Zhang Xiang also took the opportunity to ask for a pavilion chief official position.
Zhen Ti, as a member of the Zhen family, is at least a successful businessman, he will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the head of a pavilion is also the position of an official, how can he easily allow people, this is not good, he will lose his head, even if he is a small pavilion chief, at least he must be a scholar, so as not to cause trouble for himself, Zhen Ti is still very cautious, of course, he does not want to offend Zhang Xiang, the God of Wealth.
Zhen Ti: "Zhang Xiang! You must know that although I have the qualifications to appoint the pavilion chief, this is not something I want to appoint, and this needs to be decided after consultation with some elderly officials in the county. ”
Zhang Xiang: "County Order, I know what you care about, although I, Zhang Xiang, was born in a businessman, but I have also studied for a few years, and my teacher Lu Zhi is also a famous person, and this bonus is just a meeting gift between friends." This sentence means that I am a scholar, and there are people on it, and this bonus is just a gift, or it may be the only gift, and you don't want to get an inch.
Zhang Xiang is neither humble nor arrogant, as soon as Zhen Ti heard this, he knew that he underestimated Zhang Xiang, this person may be a God of Wealth, or he may also be a Lord of Yama, at this time Zhen Ti also listed Zhang Xiang as a person who could not be provoked.
Zhen Ti: "Zhang Xiang, you said it earlier!" Since you are a senior disciple of Lord Lu Zhilu, then there is no problem, you want to be the pavilion chief of which pavilion, but if you say that there are people in the pavilion, I can't be the master. ”
Zhang Xiang also saw that Zhen Ti was a cowardly and greedy person, and Zhang Xiang didn't want to embarrass him, "I want to be the pavilion chief of Houfeng Pavilion, and the pavilion there has been vacant for a long time." ”
Although Zhen Ti is not a good person, but at least he is still a successful businessman, he naturally knows the situation of Houfeng Pavilion under his jurisdiction, that is, he knows that Zhen Ti will wonder why Zhang Xiang chose Houfeng Pavilion, Houfeng Pavilion is also a big pavilion in Zhuo County, and it was also prosperous during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but during the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fuling vigorously rested on internal affairs, repaired Chi Road and paid taxes lightly. But because of this, the road near Houfeng Pavilion was abandoned, and Houfeng Pavilion has also declined, and it has gone through several major disasters so far, especially the great plague a few years ago, which has become a dead pavilion and no one else.
Zhen Ti couldn't figure it out, but fortunately he didn't want to, he didn't care what Zhang Xiang's purpose was, as long as it didn't affect him, Zhen Ti's work efficiency was very fast, and he wrote the letter of appointment after a while and sent it to Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang was very happy to see the letter of appointment, this letter of appointment means that Zhang Xiang has become an official out of his white body, in fact, when this pavilion chief Zhang Xiang has other considerations, Zhang Xiang now has more than 1,000 people under his command, this group of people is quite mixed, and everyone has three religions and nine streams, and it is inevitable that they will do what they shouldn't do, even if they don't do anything, Nanban will be used by some people to make a fuss.
Out of this consideration, Zhang Xiang decided to draw out more than 500 people to move to Houfeng Pavilion with his family, so that Zhang Xiang also has an official body, and also solves the trouble of gathering people, and can also train personnel.
Zhang Xiang returned home and told Zhang Hao about his role as the pavilion chief, Zhang Hao was still very relieved after hearing it, being an official in Zhang Hao's heart is a serious matter, it is better than being a mess like now, and it is also exaggerated that Xiang has a future, Zhang Xiang Haiyu Zhang Hao discussed, left Zhang Feng and Lin Ping behind, and presided over the family business of Zhuo County, Zhang Hao of course did not have any opinions and decided so.
In fact, Zhang Xiang originally planned to leave Fanhe behind, after all, he trusted Lin Ping more than Fanhe and Zhang Xiang, but if Fanhe was left behind, then Zhuoxian would be Zhang Hao, and there was nothing between father and son, but Zhang Xiang was afraid that Zhang Hao would do something else and cause irreparable losses.
Then Zhang Xiang arranged to select the family members of Houfeng Pavilion to be relocated, Zhang Xiang and Zhang Fei only took dozens of people to set off to arrive at Houfeng Pavilion first, Zhang Xiang had already thought about Houfeng Pavilion very dilapidated.
But when I arrived at the scene, it was not even as good as a beggar's nest, this is where people live, houses collapsed, garbage was scattered everywhere, and it was dirty everywhere, no wonder the plague a few years ago turned this place into a dead pavilion. The more than 500 people and their families selected are Zhang Xiang's treasures! He didn't want to lose his treasures for no reason.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Xiang decided to burn the Houfeng Pavilion for construction, which not only ensured that the epidemic would not spread, but also saved the effort of tidying up, because there was no need to tidy up at all.
Zhang Xiang's fire burned for a day and a night, and Houfeng Pavilion was turned into a black land overnight, and soon after, five hundred men and their families arrived, and they began to build new houses.
These people were not forced to relocate by Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang promised heavy profits before, Zhang Xiang's subordinates were crazy, desperately trying to squeeze into the relocation team, and those who had no family regretted hitting the wall.
It only took Zhang Xiang and others three days to build a neat house, and Houfeng Pavilion finally restored some of its former appearance, and Zhang Xiang had to sigh at the miracles that people could create.
In fact, the area of Houfeng Pavilion is still very good, built according to the Chi Road, although this Chi Road has been abandoned, but there are still zero Ding team passing by, the low-lying land means that it has good groundwater resources.
And just when Zhang Xiang was admiring it, Zhang Fei ran over, "Little brother, many of the people who came over after the accident had diarrhea and diarrhea, and now many people are making trouble going back to Zhuo County?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "How can this be, the first two days were fine?" ”
Zhang Fei: "Actually, there were occasional diarrhea two days ago, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, just this morning there were many people who fell ill at the same time, and the old people in the team also said that the ghosts who died in Houfeng Pavilion before were doing trouble." ”
Zhang Xiang: "Nonsense, big brother, you go back to Zhuo County first and invite Huang Xiao over, and I will stabilize them here." ”
Zhang Fei: "Little brother, let's go back!" If my father knew that he wouldn't leave you alone, he would have to break my leg. ”
Zhang Xiang: "Big brother, what are you talking about!" Can you hold them steady here? You don't have to tell your father when you go back, you just need to bring Huang Xiao here, don't go quickly. Zhang Fei disappeared in an instant, Zhang Xiang was thinking at this time that this was not the fierce Zhang Fei in history, looking forward to the future.
Zhang Xiang first arrived at the place where the people gathered, ten miles and one pavilion, Zhang Xiang's subordinates moved to Houfeng Pavilion, of course, they were the people, and the leading Fanhe saw Zhang Xiang coming, and immediately came up to greet him, "Third young master, why are you here not clean." ”
Zhang Xiang: "Okay, needless to say, I know better than you whether it's clean or not. Zhang Xiang entered the pavilion and saw the injured people, and found that they were not plagued, as if they had eaten something.
When Zhang Xiang saw this, he was very glad that it was not a plague, otherwise Zhang Xiang would not have guaranteed that he would be able to control this group of people, Zhang Xiang had spent a lot of money for the position of pavilion chief, and Zhang Xiang didn't want to waste it.
After a while, Zhang Fei rode back with Huang Xiao, and then I had to mention that Zhang Fei's horse was very conspicuous, only to see that the whole body of this horse was as oily as black satin, only the four horses' hooves were white and snowy, the horse's back was long, the waist was short and straight, and the joints and tendons of the limbs were developed strongly.
Originally, Zhang Xiang still wanted to fight the idea of this horse, but unfortunately Zhang Xiang couldn't subdue this horse, so he could only watch Zhang Fei play majestic, and the horse stopped in front of Zhang Xiang.
At this time, Huang Xiao got off the horse, his feet couldn't stand steadily, and he fell to the ground, Zhang Fei's loud voice, "Little brother, I tied up Dr. Huang for you, this old guy still doesn't want to come?" ”
Zhang Xiang hurriedly helped Huang Xiao up, "Sir, you have nothing to do!" My big brother is too reckless, I can't help it! The people in my pavilion suddenly fell ill, and I made this decision. ”
Huang Xiao still glared at Zhang Fei very politely, and complained in his words: "If I had said that I was curing the disease, I would have come a long time ago, Zhang Xiang, where is the patient here, I will go and see now." ”
Zhang Xiang took Huang Xiao to the patient's residence, and as soon as Zhang Xiang knew that the people were sick, he gathered this group of patients together and managed them in a unified manner.
Huang Xiao saw the symptoms of these patients, so he prescribed a prescription for Zhang Xiang to grab the medicine, it turned out that these patients were not seriously ill, but they were caused by eating some unclean things.
Zhang Xiang thought about it, he couldn't! These people eat the same food as Zhang Xiang, how can this be, at this time Zhang Fei said a word, why is this water so fishy! Zhang Fei was also non-stop along the way, so when he arrived at the ground, he asked Fanhe to pour him a bowl of water.
Zhang Fei reminded Zhang Xiang that if there is no problem with food, then there is only water, Zhang Xiang immediately led someone to check a few wells in the pavilion, and sure enough, the problem really lies in these wells.
There were many animal corpses in the well, Zhang Xiang also found human corpses in a well, and a group of subordinates vomited wildly, Zhang Xiang was also a little sick and ordered not to talk about this matter, and the violators were severely punished.
