Chapter 185: Boiling the County Master (4)

Chang Zhenbang looked at the county lords who were all over the room and were silent, and the corners of his mouth raised a faint smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, as if it was not him who dared to kill and decide just now, those county magistrates saw the smile on his face, and subconsciously relaxed a little, and immediately a few county magistrates rushed over and confessed to him from the heart, saying how brutal he was in office, and now his conscience found that he wanted to resign and go home to pave the way and build bridges to save the common people, do some good deeds for himself, and accumulate some yin virtue. How could Chang Zhenbang, who did good deeds, obstruct it, and after a few words of comfort, he let these people go.

Looking at the remaining dozen county lords and deputy governors in the hall, Chang Zhenbang came to them with a smile, smiled faintly at the master who spent five hundred oceans to buy food and auction, and said, "You are ......"

The man smiled faintly, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "My subordinate Governor Wuning, Dehai, greets your lordship." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I already know what you did in Wu Ning, it can be said that a gentleman loves money, takes it in a proper way, and uses it in a moderate way." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, my subordinates are ashamed!" Dehai said with a smile.

Chang Zhenbang said: "It is your ability to be kind to the people and get rich." Compared with those corrupt officials, it is even more rare. By the way, what are you going to give me this time? ”

Dehai was stunned, isn't this an obvious bribery? Is he alone surprised, those county magistrates and deputy governors present were also taken aback, it turned out that this lord not only knew that he was showing the public, but also knew about bribery and bribery.

Thinking of this, Dehai couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "The subordinates gave the adults fifty catties of pheasants and one hundred catties of stone ears, and they were handed over to Adjutant Zhang when they came." ”

"You've got a heart." Chang Zhenbang said: "But these things are not worth a few dollars!" ”

Dehai took out a silver ticket of a thousand oceans from his sleeve, held it with both hands and said: "This is a little bit of a humble heart, and I hope that the adults and girls will be happy." ”

Chang Zhenbang swept it lightly with his eyes and said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to accept it, after all, this is just your two meal money, but this money can come cleanly, don't stain the hands of the official!" ”

"The subordinates promised that there was no such thing as embezzling a grain of rice or robbing a penny. Please also have a good understanding. Dehai said arrogantly.

"Are you Manchurian?" Chang Zhenbang asked suddenly.

When Dehai heard this, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and then a layer of sorrow surged into his heart, but he still maintained a calm tone and said: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates dare not deceive my lord, I am indeed a man." But a man is not necessarily a bad person, right? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "In the eyes of this official, there is no distinction between Manchu and Han, and there is no difference between good and bad, there is only the difference between cadres and mediocre officials. If you are clever and robbed but monopolize the great name, this Jiujiang city wall has a place to store your head! ”

"Yes, my lord, keep in mind the teachings of my lord, and I dare not forget it!" Dehai said, holding the money ticket above his head again.

Chang Zhenbang took back the silver ticket in his hand and said, "The position of the General Office of the Yin Yamen Finance Department of Xunyang Dao Dao is now short of manpower, Dehai, you might as well come over for a trial period first." If it is really a talent, this official will never be stingy and will definitely promote you! ”

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness! Willing to try! In his opinion, Chang Zhenbang's intention to take advantage of these county masters has been very clear, if he is nostalgic for the position of this county master, there will be no good end, it is better to be the financial director of this Yin Yamen. It's also considered to be a high promotion, and it is also considered to be a life-saving!

When those county magistrates saw that Chang Zhenbang promoted Dehai on the spot because of Dehai's ability to collect money, they couldn't help but get excited, thinking in their hearts that their ability to scavenge gold and silver must be no less than this Manchurian, and they must be able to be seen by Chang Zhenbang and accepted as a confidant.

Seeing that these people suddenly had the urge to try on their faces, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but laugh, and sure enough, before his laughter landed, a county magistrate stood up, took out three thousand silver dollars from his sleeve, and said: "Humble Ruichang County, a little bit of courtesy is not a respect, and I hope the adults will laugh." ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him with a smile, didn't ask anything, then accepted the silver ticket, and said, "You are more generous than Dehai!" It's just that with so many silver tickets, how can you hide from those bandits just now? ”

Ruichang County said: "Lord Dehai hid the silver ticket in the inner sleeve of his robe, and those bandits did not search carefully, so they escaped a catastrophe." Humble job is not so good luck, had to hide the silver ticket into Ruichang's famous bamboo handicrafts, the ability to hope that adults enjoy a little more surprise, who knows but escaped a catastrophe, it is really providence! Huh, "

Chang Zhenbang looked at his smug expression, and was very unhappy in his heart, saying that if you were robbed by those bandits, wouldn't it be in the hands of your grandfather, then you still need to accept this thing from you in front of everyone, although he was unhappy, but his face was still very happy: "It's rare that you are so clever!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but the adults are happy, in the future, the adults will celebrate the New Year's holidays in the house, and the humble positions are all filial piety of this number!" Ruichang County smiled flatteringly.

After Chang Zhenbang laughed twice, he immediately lowered his face and said, "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Ben Dao Yin and say such words of bribery!" ”

Ruichang County immediately scolded his mother in his stomach, and said that you are a stolen official, and you also want to accept the money, so it is really difficult to serve, but thinking that it is a bit too much to say this so blatantly, he immediately confessed: "It's a lowly Meng Lang, I hope your lord will forgive me!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, good is great, don't take it as an example!" ”

Ruichang County said: "Thank you for your understanding, there is absolutely no example of lowly duties." ”

"You are so well-behaved, no wonder the people of Ruichang County have paid taxes and paid for the Republic of China for fifteen years, do a good job! Strive to receive the tax revenue in early May for the 100th anniversary of the Republic of China! Chang Zhenbang smiled and whispered in Ruichang County's ear.

"Ahh Ruichang County was taken aback, shook his body, and fell to the ground.

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him in disgust and said, "Ruichang County is tired, someone will send him back, so that he can recuperate." With that, the two horses pulled Ruichang County out.

This Ruichang County also thought that Chang Zhenbang was going to show him to the public, and he didn't want to be pulled out of the hall by Chang Zhenbang's people, and threw it on the ground, Wang Dewang went up and kicked him, and said: "Boy, you listen well, the adults said that after the beginning of each month, they will send 5,000 oceans over, and send them over to ensure that you sit firmly in Ruichang County, if you can't send them, leave a good place for you at the gate of Jiujiang City." ”

Ruichang County, who escaped death, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was not going to kill himself, he just wanted money, what is so difficult about this, as long as there are officials to do it alive, he is not afraid of no money to collect, but there is less in his pocket, but it is also good to be able to stream for a long time, thinking of this, he arched his hand towards Wang Dewang and said: "My lord will explain the next thing, my brother will definitely do it, please rest assured that Lord Dao Yin is." ”

Seeing that Ruichang County was entrusted out by Chang Zhenbang's people, those county magistrates suddenly panicked again, some of them knew that their heads were not flexible, and the county magistrates who had collected about the same amount of money asked to resign again, and Chang Zhenbang had no reason not to agree.

After this wave of people left, the entire hall became empty, and only two county magistrates and six deputy governors remained.

Chang Zhenbang glanced at these people and said lightly: "It's really good luck that you can stay, the official is still thinking about whether to let you go, but seeing you like this, it is obvious that you are a man who is not afraid of shadows, so the official is not polite." As soon as Chang Zhenbang's words were finished, he knelt down on the three deputy governors, and they were like wagging their tails and begging for pity, and said: "The adults are gracious, and the lowly positions are all bought with money. ”

Chang Zhenbang sighed and said: "Erlu, the people are fat and the people are creamy, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive." Of course, you are pitiful, after losing the official this time, you are just riddled with debts, and you can't get mixed up, even if you can't get mixed up, it's just the three of you, but if you continue to be the official, the people of the three counties don't know how many people will be ruined, the so-called two powers harm each other, the lesser of the two, the official is also a last resort, if you retire, the official can still let you live, otherwise you can only go to the city gate to look at the moon. ”

"Isn't your lord going to let us go anyway!" The vice-governor, who was kneeling solemnly, couldn't help but say.

Chang Zhenbang watched him slowly take a few steps back, and said: "No official is light, and returning home is a blessing." You might as well resign! ”

"Then don't blame me for waiting!" The deputy governor shouted loudly and rushed towards Chang Zhenbang, and Ma Ben behind Chang Zhenbang rushed over, pressing these red-eyed deputy governors to the ground, waiting for Chang Zhenbang's fall.

Chang Zhenbang said with sorrow: "Actually, it is also the official who did not do well and forced you to a dead end, or not, after your death, the official will report to the Jiangxi Civil Affairs Department for the reason of being tragically attacked by bandits and suffering unfortunately, asking for mercy on your parents, wives and children, you can go with confidence!" It is said that these three people were calm when they went, anyway, there was no way to live if they lost their officials, and Chang Zhenbang, who was an official, did not let them, and when they were in a dilemma, perhaps death was their last way out.

Now there are a few county lords and deputy governors left in the hall. One of the slightly older county magistrates glanced at Chang Zhenbang and said, "I don't want to be corrupt or abuse the people, I don't know how the adults will deal with us?" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at a few of them and said lightly: "You are all innocent, and even those officials from professional classes are ashamed of themselves, which is really admirable." ”

"Didn't the lord just say that the people are fat, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive, although the humble position does not dare to say that the official will benefit one party, but he also does not dare to abuse the people for pleasure! After all, after death, the department wants to see the ancestors! The governor of this prefecture said sadly.

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "If these words come out of the mouths of those officials who are from professional classes, it is also credible, but you people are officials who have spent a lot of money to sell, and some people even have high debts for this, if you are a corrupt official, you can also understand, after all, you are only for money, but you are as clear as water, and you are as clear as a mirror, and you are afraid that even Song Baogong and Ming Hairui are ashamed." ”

"Hehe, what the adults said is reasonable, but we can't be killed because we are honest!" The county magistrate said with a smile.

Chang Zhenbang said: "I didn't kill you because you were honest, but because of your identity!" ”

"Identity, what identity can we have?" The county magistrate said with a smile, and at this time, the deputy governors behind him also stood aside, intentionally or unintentionally, and surrounded Chang Zhenbang.

"Reform Party!" Chang Zhenbang shouted loudly and said: "You are really ridiculous, Lafayette is alive, you buy officials and rebel, and now the general manager rules the country, you still come to this set, it's really ridiculous!" Someone will bring me these rebellious ......"

"Give it to me! This person is the great enemy of Mr. Sun's innovation. Before Chang Zhenbang finished speaking, the county magistrate waved his hand, and those deputy governors and county governors immediately rushed over and rushed towards Chang Zhenbang, trying in vain to solve Chang Zhenbang before those Jiujiang soldiers outside the door arrived, who knew that Zhao Laosi suddenly shook out behind Chang Zhenbang.

I saw Zhao Laosi shouting, stretched out his hand and threw Chang Zhenbang behind him, and after earning his hands and making a crackling sound, he followed the three deputy governors who rushed over, and the two deputy governors fell down in response to the fist with both arms, and the third had rushed to the front of Zhao Laosi at this time, Zhao Laosi was not afraid, and stretched out his head to strike, and the third deputy governor was suddenly knocked unconscious by him.

The rest of the deputy governors, the county magistrate suddenly panicked, how could they have seen such a fierce opponent, even the fierce Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms is nothing more than that!

Zhao Laosi laughed and rushed over, stretched out his arms and grabbed the two stunned deputy governors, and knocked them in the middle, and the two of them fell to the ground with their heads bleeding and fainted, and the remaining two county magistrates turned their heads and ran, just caught by the oncoming Jiujiang soldiers, and were forced to be pressed in front of Chang Zhenbang.

Chang Zhenbang looked at these people lightly: "For the sake of you all Qing officials, this official doesn't want to kill you, but you are a thug of the Reform Party, and this official can't let you go, it's embarrassing, so let's let you all sit in the prison car and send it to Nanchang to ask Li Chun and Wenhe to see you Qing officials!" With a wave of his hand, he asked the Jiujiang soldiers to take these people out of the ground, and then cleaned the hall seriously, but so many people died in this hall at once, but no matter how these soldiers cleaned, they were always a little gloomy and depressed.

"The brothers are busy in the middle of the night, hurry up and go back to rest after changing shifts!" Chang Zhenbang hit a hatche, stretched out his arm, and commanded.

Wang Dewang said: "The subordinates have already arranged it, please rest assured." ”

After dealing with these county magistrates, Chang Zhenbang was not in a good mood, such as today, the north and the south have just been united, and the people have not yet enjoyed the afterglow of peace before they have been exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. It's really not easy, and those nerds are ashamed to say it. Chang Zhenbang sighed, suddenly feeling a lot heavier and sleepy, probably too bothered! It's better to find that little peach to listen to the music and relax, but it's already early in the morning, I'm afraid that everyone who should sleep should sleep.

"Lord Qiyu, Mrs. Xiaozhu, Mrs. Chen Die, and Mrs. Hongyun are all outside asking to see you." Zhang Xiaoliu said with a wry smile.

These three women are beautiful one by one, but one by one is difficult, just by watching Chang Zhenbang circling between these three women, he is a little tired and panicked, not to mention that Chang Zhenbang is immersive.

"Let them in! Anyway, now the official business is all done. Chang Zhenbang exhaled deeply and said with relief.

After Zhang Xiaoliu opened the door, Lu Xiaozhu and Chen Die rushed towards Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Chen Die's stomach, and said, "It's so late, I can't sleep well, what should I do if I have tire gas!" ”

Chen Die glanced at Lu Xiaozhu proudly, and said: "Zhenbang, there will be a burst of gunfire here for a while, and the people who hurt you are worried about death, if Zhenbang has three longs and two shorts, what can we do!" As he spoke, he threw a resentful look at him.

Lu Xiaozhu looked at Chen Die's big belly angrily, thinking that if it wasn't for this little mongrel, how could she take the lead! I secretly hated why my belly didn't conceive earlier, and let that woman take the lead.

Niu Hongyun, who was standing behind, slowly came over and helped Lu Xiaozhu and said, "Sister Lu, you are also a double-body person now, and you have to care about your own body." ”

Lu Xiaozhu glanced at Niu Hongyun, originally this woman was attracted by Chen Die, and she still had some prejudices in her heart, but after so many days, knowing that she was the kind of person who had no quarrel with the world and only knew how to live her own life, she was relieved, and said: "Who said it wasn't, Sister Hongyun, you are the same, let's take good care of our bodies." ”

Chang Zhenbang stopped the two of them in his arms with a smile and said, "It is my Chang Zhenbang's blessing to meet you." I will treat you and the children well. ”

Chen Die said to Niu Hongyun: "The seed in our belly is the descendant of the Chang family, so naturally we have to take care of it, whose seed is the child surnamed Lu!" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at Chen Die dissatisfiedly and said: "I'll say it again, the child in Xiaozhu's belly is my Chang Zhenbang's, if anyone is talking nonsense, be careful that I want his head!" ”

"Okay, what's the use of the officials saying this, their mouths are on others, and they don't care what others say about them!" Lu Xiaozhu said: "The eldest son of the Chang family can only come out of my belly, what a flat wife, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Seeing these two beloved women arguing like cockfights again, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but feel tired for a while.
