Although he didn't beat anyone today, Xie Hong still felt very happy, and when he returned to his office, he didn't even notice that Fang Jin was gone. "Well, that's the legendary Mind Master, right? It seems that I was bullied, and I must be bullied back. He hummed a song, forgetting even about what he had planned to do to go to the Department of Canonical History.

When he returned to the government office, he went through the existing files first, and also made up for the relevant officialdom knowledge of this era. His second-in-command is majestic, but he is very idle, and by the time he finishes reading the dossier, it is already close to noon.

When he was wondering whether to simply go home for dinner, a person suddenly flashed in at the door, Xie Hong thought it was Fang Jin coming back, but when he looked at it, it turned out to be Fu Bantou.

"Master Xie, are you busy?" This is how it usually begins.

Do you think I'm busy? Xie Hong pursed his lips, shook the file in his hand, and asked rhetorically: "Please sit down, how can you have time to come here for junior brother?" He noticed just now that the servants under Fu Bantou didn't seem to buy Chen Dianshi, so he was still a little curious about the intention of dealing with Bantou.

"Don't dare to be, in front of adults, how can there be a place for villains to sit." Fu Bantou smiled all over his face, and waved his hands together, "The adults are in charge of public security, grain and horse affairs, and they are the officials of the villain, and they are originally here to visit." ”

Cut, from midnight to noon, it's been morning, do you want to see if it's early? Xie Hong scoffed at his words in his heart, but said, "Oh? The head of the team sat for a while, and it happened that the younger brother also had a lot of public security problems in the county to ask for advice. "Who wouldn't go around in circles, we've never eaten pork, and we've seen pigs run.

Fu Bantou found that he had gone around in a circle, and he scolded himself secretly, this person in front of him was not an ordinary scholar who could only quote scriptures, when he was in the shop, he casually accused him of a string of crimes, and he didn't even stumble, and his words were far sharper than his old officials. It's better to say it directly, otherwise it may not go anywhere.

He didn't go around in circles, and Xie Hong quickly figured it out, it turned out that the Xu officials in this era could not eat on salaries alone, and the monthly salary of a nine-grade official in the main book was only five stones and five buckets, and the history was three stones, so the salary of the Xu officials could be imagined. The officials want to beg for a living, so it is also the norm to exploit layer by layer, and if they have a bad conscience, they will also oppress the people and collect some people's fat and ointment.

Unlike the scribes, the officials could not do anything in the accounts, but relied more on the filial piety of the merchants in the city, or the protection fee. But this Chen Dian Shi is not very particular about life, he eats a lot of himself, but he doesn't even divide the soup, but instead raises a lot of helpers there, and the officials naturally resented it for a long time.

Now there is one more choice, and outside of the words, Fu Bantou also hinted to Xie Hong that if Master Xie is more particular, everyone is willing to vote for him. He also said that Chen Dianshi is mean, and he will repay him, and if he doesn't prepare early, he will inevitably be lonely when the time comes.

These things are not complicated at all, Xie Hong understood as soon as he heard it, many of the officials in this era are inherited from fathers and sons, brothers, and these officials are also local snakes, and the old officials are estimated to be unable to control all of them, so they simply set up another set of stoves and directly excluded these disobedient officials.

The officials were naturally unwilling, and the officials crushed people to death, and they had no way before. Seeing the contradiction between Xie Hong and Chen Dianshi today, their hearts and eyes began to move, the two Shangguan were fighting, and the minions below naturally had the opportunity to stand in line and get some benefits in it.

This is to use me, Xie Hong is like a mirror in his heart, but his face is silent, and he agrees with a smile, anyway, he doesn't care about those doorways in the yamen, but it is more important to use these yamen to gain a foothold in the yamen. As for Chen Guangyuan's revenge, even if he doesn't come, Xie Hong still wants to find the door, that guy almost bullied Qing'er, and he was angry with his mother, this revenge can't be avenged.

"Then there is a labor team leader for this street matter, please pay the team leader to maintain the law and order of Beizhuang County."

Xie Hong said with a smile on his face, anyway, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is like this, and it is also a common practice to pay protection fees or something, not to mention at this time, even in the later generations, these things are the same. He doesn't want to force any changes such as asking for the people's lives, as long as he restrains them, don't let these people bully and dominate the market.

This is the carte blanche appointment, which is far beyond the expectations of the head of the family, and this Xie master book is really good! When he heard this, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The little ones are only respected by the orders of the masters. The adults won't go back to the house at noon today, how about letting the little ones be the east? ”

Wine and dine someone? It turns out that there is this routine in the Ming Dynasty, Xie Hong smiled heartily, looking at the eager expression of the head of the Fu team, it is also a process to come here to eat, and they will not rest assured if they don't go, Xie Hong nodded and said: "Then bother the head of the team." ”

"Whatever the adults say, it is the honor of the little ones to be able to invite the adults to take advantage of it."

After talking for a while, it was already noon, and the two walked out politely, although it was more hypocritical, but the interests were the same, and the atmosphere was not bad. As soon as he came out of the main bookkeeper's office, he suddenly heard a noise at the door of the yamen, and it was very noisy, Xie Hong glanced at Fu Bantou, and the other party also looked like he didn't know why, it seemed that it was an emergency.

Both of them were in charge, and when they saw that there was something to do, they didn't care about eating, so they hurriedly walked to the front of the ya, and before they turned the wall, the sound of the dispute at the door was already clearly heard.

"That's how my father taught me to strike iron, my father has been in the army for decades, and he has been fighting iron in Beizhuang County for ten years, and no one has ever been picky."

This person spoke in an urn voice, Xie Hong's heart tightened, this was clearly the voice of Erniu. This Erniu's surname is Zhang, his father was a blacksmith in the Xuanfu army, and he didn't know how to get rid of the military and started a family in Beizhuang County.

The Zhang family and the Xie family, who had just moved to Xuanfu, were neighbors, and the children of the two families also played together since childhood, but it was only later that Xie Hong was a little estranged when he was studying. This Zhang Erniu is extremely righteous, and it turns out that Xie Hong has received a lot of help from him. This time, Xie Hong made the music box, and he also lost the help of Erniu, otherwise it would be quite a headache for him to make those cross-era parts alone.

Yesterday, Erniu said that he was going to deliver goods outside, why did he argue with people in Yamen today? I didn't know what was going on, Xie Hong subconsciously quickened his pace.

"That's because your father didn't meet our master, so he can fool people in this remote place. What's more, your father is no longer here, and your craftsmanship is not good at all, otherwise how can you hit it with another iron plow, and you will bend? Another shrill voice said.

"There is no need to tell him more, the officer, the iron plow of this fight can't be used, and he also beats people, we have to report to the official, you hurry up and report it."

"I've told you, Lord Zhixian is not here today, so you can come back again." It had probably been noisy for a while, and the tone of the guard was full of impatience.

As soon as he turned around the wall, Xie Hongzheng saw Zhang Erniu's majestic figure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since the person is fine, you might as well understand the situation first.

"Thank you, I'll go and ask about the situation first, and I'll wait for a while." Fu Bantou saw the chaotic scene in front of the ya, and he couldn't take care of eating for the time being, the good scenery in front of the yaqian was good, but it was not a good thing to let so many people make noise here.

He confessed to Xie Hong, but it was exactly what Xie Hong meant, Xie Hong wanted to see the situation clearly in the back before speaking, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, pay the head of the team and go by yourself." ”

Fu Bantou was not verbose, and stepped forward to whisper to the official guarding the door, Xie Hong was not far away, and he also understood the ins and outs. It turned out that the dispute with Zhang Erniu was the buyer of Erniu's delivery, the buyer's family name was Dong, and he was a big local household, and there was a manor on the bank of the Sanggan River in the south of Beizhuang County.

Because it is a large household, and several iron plows have been ordered, saying that they are urgent, and the two oxen will be delivered. But I never thought that after the goods were delivered, the Dong family suspected that the iron plow was not strong, and the two sides argued, and finally the Dong family also took the iron plow out, touched it twice, and then the iron plow hit by Erniu was bent, and the Dong family questioned Zhang Erniu's craftsmanship with this, and did not plan to pay the bill.

Zhang Erniu naturally didn't do it, but although this person was strong, he was not good at lips and tongues, and he couldn't say anything else except shouting that his craftsmanship was fine. There are many Dong family members, and if you say a word to me, you will naturally have the upper hand, and in the end, there will be a lot of trouble, and you will come to the county office.
