Chapter 216: Such a Couple

When Chang Zhenbang just walked into the small alley of Qi Yang's house, he heard a woman cursing angrily and roaring, and when he walked in, it was an old man of fifty or sixty years old who was scolded by a yellow-faced woman, the old man's face was vicissitudes and tragic, he didn't want to be a good person, but he was scolded by the thin woman in front of him like a third grandson, the woman's withered yellow fingers poked Qi Yang's head many times, and the angry look seemed to really have to be practiced into a nine-yin white bone claw to dig out the old man's head with one finger before he was willing to give up.

The Jiujiang Army Ma Ben, who was hiding on the side to watch the play, came over, pointed to the old man and said to Chang Zhenbang: "This person is Qi Yang, the chief of civil affairs of Jiangxi. ”

Chang Zhenbang looked around, but saw that I didn't have to be much stronger than those poor people to let me go in shabby, if he didn't know that Qi Yangqing was famous, I was afraid that he would be killed, and he wouldn't believe that there was such a good official in the world who didn't love money.

Qi Yang's reputation is still good, compared to those corrupt officials, he is also much more incorruptible, according to the record book on the stage, he should be the master who everyone loves and supports, but this person is not treated well in reality. It's not how annoying this person is, it's just that the word incorruptible really disgusts relatives and friends, disgusting neighbors, embarrassing wives, and spurning children and grandchildren. So he didn't even enter the door of his house, and directly robbed his left and right leaders of the light, had a good time, killed a happy one, and smashed his doors and windows in vain, this person was as honest as a beggar, and now the house has become such a ruin, and there is no need to worry about financial resources to repair it in a short period of time, and no one will lend him money to repair, seeing that a family has to live in the open air, even if it is a beggar and a place to cover his head, the wife and children of the provincial civil affairs chief are the starlight on their heads? Mrs. Qi Yang really became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it, so she pointed to Qi Yang's Heavenly Spirit Gai and scolded the servant's wife and husband.

Maybe she was tired of scolding, Mrs. Qi Yang turned her head and fell on the wall on the side in pain, Qi Yang walked over and persuaded her with good words: "Madam, it's all bad for the husband, don't look at the high power of the civil chief, but the salary is not high, if the husband drinks the water of the greedy spring in Guangzhou and becomes the person who bends the law with the corrupt officials, wouldn't it be to smear the face of the lady and let the lady be scolded by the people." ”

When Mrs. Qi Yang heard this, she was furious, and stretched out her hand to poke Qi Yang's backbone and said: "You old thing closed your crow's mouth to the old newspaper, what kind of honesty, what kind of justice, are you old boy qualified to say honest and fair?" If you really have the ability, how can you let Li Chun have the final say in the government affairs and civil affairs of Jiangxi Province? That old thing eats in the bowl, looks at the pot, and thinks about the tank, you old thing has become a clay Bodhisattva is purely a decoration, obviously the corpse is a vegetarian meal, obviously groveling, but flaunting himself to be honest and benevolent, what a coward, the old lady is really confused to marry you this waste dim sum, it is really a shame! ”

Qi Yang said: "How can Madam talk like this? For the husband, that is indifferent to fame and fortune! is unwilling to fight with Li Houye, which makes people see our Jiangxi jokes! ”

"Phew!" Mrs. Qi Yang said: "Our Jiangxi? It's really a hell of a sight, what do you have in this Jiangxi? The old man of the Liu family, Jin Shi and the first, was appointed as the magistrate by the current emperor, according to common sense, he would have taken office a long time ago, Li Chun did not receive the money, and he had nothing to do in a day and a half to let the family go, where is you, the self-proclaimed and fair civil chief? ”

Qi Yang's face turned red and quibbled: "Then Master Liu is not a good thing at first glance, what kind of good official can he be?" At the beginning of his tenure, he actually gave Li Houye a pair of words, which was really dirty! Marquis Li's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he is as incorruptible as water, and he immediately saw through his incorruptible face, what else does this official have to say? ”

"Get out!" Mrs. Qi Yang said angrily: "What's wrong with Master Liu, people are building roads and paving bridges." has done all the good things, just because he didn't send money to Li Houye, he poured dirty water on people, and Master Liu still has backbone, so he can't ruin his reputation if he simply resigns and doesn't do it, Li Chun is really not a thing in this matter, but people are also beasts, but you are a spineless thing, you will only help the evil and act for the tiger! The old lady can't stand this nest anymore, so I'll die here today. As he spoke, he pushed Qi Yang away, took a few steps back, and slammed into the wall with a sprint.

But when she heard the "oops", the screams came, Mrs. Qi Yang fell to the ground, she got up and saw a young heroic martial artist sitting in front of her and rubbing her sternum, grinning with pain on her face, but she still smiled, and said, "Why can't Madam think about it so much? Lord Qi Yang's corpse is much better than corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the people are very honest, as long as they don't bully them too much, they won't make trouble, Li Chunwen and the embarrassed traitors have harmed the people of Nanchang, if Lord Qi Yang is also presumptuous, where will the people still have a way to live? This popular uprising was not a three-day uproar, and at that time there would be no peace in Jiangxi. ”

Mrs. Qi Yang glared at Qi Yang fiercely and said, "According to what you mean, this old thing should be justified as a shrinking turtle?" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "People, you have to think about the good, if the lady really always thinks about the bad, I'm afraid that this day will never be peaceful." ”

"Huh." After Mrs. Qi Yang laughed a few words, her eyes waited for Chang Zhenbang and said, "Who are you?" How did it suddenly appear in my home? ”

Chang Zhenbang stood up from the ground, tidied up his clothes a little, and said: "The junior Jiangxi Protector Envoy, the Jiujiang Town Guard, Xunyang Dao Yin Chang Zhenbang!" ”

"It's you!" Mrs. Qi Yang said: "You are a good official who does not toss around, and Jiujiang is well governed by you." The common people say hello, that is, I, a woman who stays in the house every day and dare not go out to meet people, know your name, and the people there are blessed to let you be their parents, and I am happy for them, but I didn't expect you to be so young and promising, and you are really much better than ours. ”

Qi Yang's face was not good, he pulled his wife aside, and said, "Your guest comes to the door, what do you say?" I'm not ready to make tea and serve tea, I was really born in a small family, and I don't know the rules at all. ”

Mrs. Qi Yang glared at him and said, "What's wrong with the birth of the old lady, you ungrateful thing, if it weren't for the old lady's family for you to eat, drink, and use for your exam in Beijing, you son of a dog wouldn't know where to throw food in the soil?" Can there be today? Dream your big dreams! After saying that, he turned around and went to the house, and after a long time rummaging through the cabinets, he brought out two tattered tea bowls, washed them, put a little clean hot water, and brought them over.

Qi Yang looked at it and said angrily: "You ruined girl, this is a distinguished guest, what is it to send two bowls of water?" ”

Mrs. Qi Yang glared at her eyes and said, "If you take the tea residue, you will have a stomach trouble if you drink it, and even the hot water that the old lady is sitting on will be ruined by you." After speaking, he turned his head and left, don't look at her as a little unforgiving, but she also knows the affairs of men, and women rarely follow the reason for participation

Qi Yang smiled awkwardly, took the broken bowl and drank a few sips, then said with a vicious breath in his chest: "Such a bastard thing on the stall." Lao Tzu was really blind at the beginning, but the reason why the wife of the bad sugar does not go to court, the official still knows! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled, drank all the water in his hand and said: "Don't look at Mrs. Sister-in-law like this, in fact, deep down I still care about you and yours!" ”

Qi Yang smiled and said, "Young couples and old companions, young man, when you reach my age, you will naturally know what is going on for a while." After speaking, his face sank, and he said: "Gossip is here, Chang Zhenbang, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, this is not just a riot of the Reform Party, this protector is worried about the comfort of the adult, so I came to visit the adult and his sister-in-law." Seeing the two husbands and wives so affectionate, I was really envious! ”

"Thanks to the blessings of the adults, whether it is a chaotic party or a mob, they don't look down on me, a clean official family, but it will take some effort to repair it after the chaos."

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly, took out fifty yuan of the ocean from his arms, handed it over, and said: "After all, during the period of Marquis Li's recuperation, the entire military and political affairs in Jiangxi will depend on the two of us, but the younger brother is too young, and I hope that the elder brother will mention a little more about some things!" ”

Qi Yang glanced at Chang Zhenbang, and did not take the silver ticket in his hand, but said coldly: "Lord Chang, what do you mean by this?" I, Qi Yang, am by no means clear, and I will never accept any bribes from you, you are an insult to me. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Lord Qi Yang is a clean official, is it true that I, Chang Zhenbang, am a corrupt official and a corrupt official?" ”

"Then what are you ......," Qi Yang asked suspiciously.

Chang Zhenbang said: "My lord, you are too worried, this official's family is one of the best families, and his humble wife is the eldest lady of the Lu family who seals the wine in De'an!" So the money is clean, you just take it. ”

Qi Yang wanted to but was a little embarrassed, grabbed the last handful, stuffed it into his sleeve and said, "Then even if I borrow you, I will pay you back as soon as I pay my salary." But I will do what I should do in business, and I will not help you with my conscience if I don't do what I shouldn't! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Who doesn't know the name of the adult? Before I came to Nanchang, I was like thunder, so naturally I won't be embarrassed for adults, not to mention that I have persuaded Li Houye to jointly sign Bao Gong as the Jiangxi patrol envoy! I believe that the court and the emperor will send a telegram of appointment in the near future, and the younger brother will congratulate the adult in advance here. ”

Qi Yang smiled: "What is this? It's just that the original civil chief has changed his name! Actually, there is nothing to praise! ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at his old face and smiled like a flower, and he despised him very much, and couldn't help but debunk it: "Brother, this is not just a change of title, this is the imperial court's plan to separate the civil power from the hands of the overseers, in the past, Marquis Li was the overseer, you are the chief of civil affairs, although it is said that there is a literary and a martial arts, but after all, the overseer is above the chief of civil affairs, now it's okay, when you become the governor of Jiangxi, you will be at the same level as the overseer, and it is unreasonable for Marquis Li to meddle in Jiangxi's civil affairs again." What's more, the younger brother is just a small Jiangxi military envoy, and we don't have to interfere with the river water in the well, so please take care of Qi Xun in the future. ”

Qi Yang said with a smile: "Master Chang is also a good official, I believe that our cooperation in the future will be a perfect match, and the cooperation will be seamless." Hehe. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Then it is a good word for the lord, but I heard that the envoy can directly go to the court to discuss the pension for the poor and sick of officials, and the lord will naturally not bend the law for personal gain, but he can apply for this fee, and it is not in vain that the emperor cherishes the hard work of the officials." ”

Qi Yang smiled: "That's right, I shouldn't stretch out my Qi Yang's hand, I Qi Yang will never stretch out my hand, but I will never shirk what should be my Qi Yang!" Everything is done in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, which must not be wrong. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Then I wish the adults all their wishes, and the money just now might as well be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the official to the adults!" ”

Qi Yang said happily: "How can this be? How good is that? ”

Chang Zhenbang saw that he was just talking, but he refused to stretch out his hand, the way of nature was very useful in his heart, and the excuse on the surface was just a joke on the spot, after seeing this, Chang Zhenbang completely saw through this guy, so he said some flattering words, turned around and returned to the Overseer's Mansion with Ma Ben and the Jiujiang Army guarding at the door.

At the door, Ma Ben stepped forward and saluted Chang Zhenbang and said, "Hu Zhong and Wang Xifeng are already waiting in the adult's study. ”

Chang Zhenbang immediately went to the study after knowing it, and saw these two people sitting in the study righteously and awe-inspiringly, as if the two gods and Buddhas were motionless, but after they saw Chang Zhenbang come in, they still stood up and saluted.

Chang Zhenbang first glanced at Hu Zhong, who was covered in bruises and rags, and said: "You are Hu Zhong, it's really difficult for you, the two squadrons actually withstood the brutal charge of those reformers, they are really a tiger general, why do you want to continue to stay in the garrison?" Or join my Jiujiang Army? ”

"Lao Hu, join the Jiujiang Army, and follow the adults to kill the party!" Wang Xifeng instigated.

Chang Zhenbang glared at Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in military uniform, and said: "You kid is really active, I don't know how much Marfa you provoked me by burning prisoners, but you are still Li Shifa's subordinate, and you don't understand military law at all." ”

Wang Xifeng said: "If you see the brutal side of those chaotic parties, I believe you will also support your subordinates to do this!" ”

Chang Zhenbang stretched out his hand and hammered Wang Xifeng with a fist and said, "Shut up!" Wait for Lao Tzu to ask Hu Zhong, and then come to clean you up! ”

Hu Zhong glanced at Wang Xifeng and said: "Commander Wang's deep friendship and humility cannot be reciprocated, and he is willing to join the Jiujiang Army, follow the adults to kill the chaotic party, and calm the troubled times!" ”

Chang Zhenbang shook his head and said: "Hu Zhong, I am very pleased that you can think like this, but considering the current situation in Nanchang, this official thinks that it is better for you to continue to serve in the garrison, because of your excellent performance in this counterinsurgency operation, Lao Tzu decided to promote you to the head of the garrison of the Nanchang Garrison Headquarters, take charge of the security force of the whole Nanchang, and help the army to stabilize Nanchang this morning and restore the prosperity and stability of Nanchang!" If you want to join the Jiujiang Army, this officer guarantees that you will return to the team at the right time! ”

Hu Zhong said loudly: "The subordinates are completely obedient to the arrangement of the adults. said that the ground was full of qi and his voice was loud, which made Chang Zhenbang very satisfied, but he stood up straight and let the wound he had just healed bloom again, and the pain made him sweat coldly, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly asked Wang Dewang to lead someone to help him down.

Wang Xifeng saw that Hu Zhong didn't hand over a word from beginning to end, and couldn't help but say: "What a tough guy, a good man!" Adults need to take care of him. ”

Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this: "Wang Xifeng, you are enough, are you still in the mood to care about others now?" It's better to care and care for yourself first! ”

Wang Xifeng touched his head and said: "The subordinates have committed military law, which has made the adults suffer, and the subordinates are willing to accept the ruling of the Military Justice Department and not embarrass the adults!" ”

"Humph! Well said! In the end, it's not the official's trouble! Chang Zhenbang said: "After you go down, let the Military Justice Department beat twenty military sticks to let you have a long experience!" If there is a recurrence, it will not be spared. ”

Wang Xifeng was mentally prepared to kill his head and lose his official position when he came, but he didn't expect this board to be held high. It was so easy to fall, just beating twenty military sticks, which made him overjoyed, and thanked Chang Zhenbang vigorously, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan will never dare to do such a stupid thing again!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "You are fucking stupid, revenge for your siblings, what should a husband do, what is there to regret?" If it were me, I would do the same. It's just that you kid is a little stupid, let's see how Lao Tzu deals with these rebels tomorrow, and let you have a heart! ”
