Chapter 416: The Disaster Gets Worse
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Xiang Dingtian really sent someone to send Tian Lao Wu's head - absolutely genuine.
After a little inquiry, Wang Shihua found out that after Xiang Dingtian arrested the people, the whole world who beat gongs and drums propagated that Tian Lao Wu was a spy sent to Xiang's house by others, intending to destroy the harmony between Xiang and Wang, so that the master behind the scenes would profit from it, so he wanted to openly ask for ...... The Li family's plot was exposed, and naturally it had to be remedied, but fortunately, it was just a trivial matter. Otherwise, with the previous style of the Xiang family, how could it be possible not to mention the Li family? Let Wang Shihua immediately judge that in order to calm the anger of the Xiang family, the Li family definitely made a deal with the Xiang family behind the scenes. As for the content of the transaction, it is unknown.
But after this incident, the real 'effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys' has been achieved: whether it is people from other counties or between the four major families, it turns out that they all give face to the Wang family, so what is the backer behind him?
But Wang Shihua couldn't figure it out, how could this matter have something to do with Fang Jue?
December 9th, noon!
"Oops~! It is really rare for the county magistrate Fang to come to the cold house at this time, it is really rare! ”
Fang Jue was stunned when he heard this: Why does this sound so awkward?
"Shihua, what do you mean by that?"
"I don't mean anything, I just want to remind you: this is the first time that you haven't woken me to sleep early in the morning, it's really rare, of course I want to be very grateful to your subordinates for their mercy."
"Hey! Hey! Fang Jue's eyebrows fluttered and smiled, drinking tea.
After Fang Jue took the initiative to chat, and the two sides chatted about the weather, beautiful women, and other scenes, Wang Shihua asked, "County Magistrate Fang, do you have any instructions for coming this time?" ”
Fang Jue was also a person who refused to suffer this small loss, and when he heard this, he looked up and looked outside, and muttered in response to the question: "It's noon, and it's just time to eat lunch." ”
Helpless, Wang Shihua could only treat him.
After eating lunch, County Magistrate Fang muttered again: "This stomach is full of oil and water, if only there were some fruits such as watermelon and apples." ”
You're a foodie! Restraining a little dissatisfaction in his heart, Wang Shihua asked someone to serve watermelon...... Watermelons and apples were high-end fruits in Xiangxi at that time, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to eat, and these watermelons were still stored in the ice cellar before they were preserved until now.
"Why are there only watermelons and apples?"
Do you really think this is your home? Wang Shihua said angrily: "Weasel~!" You won't just run from the county seat to my Wang's house to fight the autumn breeze just for this stuttering, right? ”
"Wang Papi! You don't know, in the province before, I was tired of eating these things. But when I got here, I didn't have anywhere to buy it, and I didn't know how to do it, and the more I didn't have to eat, the more I wanted to eat. You also know that among your four major families, I have a better relationship with your Wang family, so I can only come to you to fight the autumn breeze...... By the way, my wife also wants to eat, and when she leaves, load me a few more carts of watermelons. ”
"How many cars? Are you planting watermelons when I am growing them? Wang Shihua was really angry, glared at Fang Jue, and shouted: "If you don't have a few cars, just two, don't pull them down." ”
"Two is two, better than nothing."
Having said that, when leaving, Wang Shihua still loaded him with eight watermelons and some seasonal fruits, which was enough to load a big cart - after all, he is the head of a county, and he can open a golden mouth so low in order to eat a watermelon, which shows that it is not easy for him, or for the sake of being honest and decent, otherwise, he will go anywhere to ask for a few watermelons, who will not give them? It can be seen that he is indeed familiar with the Wang family, and he has not seen the outside, and even has the meaning of pulling the relationship, and he must give enough face to himself.
Stunned to see that County Magistrate Fang ate four watermelons in one go, Wang Shihua still admired him in his heart: see the truth bit by bit! Just because of his strength in watermelon, you know his attitude as an official. Otherwise, if you change to a corrupt official, will you still worry about this bite? Will you gobble it up like this in front of yourself?
"I'm talking about weasels! You vomited the melon seeds, didn't you? ”
After eating the fourth piece, Fang Jue wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time, I can't help but be anxious and laugh." ”
After speaking, he put the handkerchief on the plate, took out a piece of red paper from his arms, and said with a smile while handing it to Wang Shihua: "You give me a watermelon, and I will give you a big gift." ”
Wang Shihua was immediately interested, but when he opened the red paper, he saw that there were three words at the beginning - wanted warrant!
originally thought it was someone from the Wang family who was wanted, but it turned out that the wanted person was Wang Shihua! What's even more absolutely is that in the column of the reason for wanting, there is actually a blank space, indicating that it is here to negotiate conditions.
Wang Shihua deliberately flipped the paper back and forth three times before he was stunned and asked: "Weasel, you want to write on this wanted notice that my family's Shirong, who is doing a lot of evil outside, or Shifu, who is involved with beautiful women, or Shigui, who is only ten years old, dares to form a gang and become an overlord in the school, I don't think it's strange, but I don't seem to have done anything recently......" Speaking of this, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "You really didn't write the wrong name?" ”
"Absolutely nothing wrong!" Fang Jue's face was serious, his head was slightly raised, and he said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "The afternoon before yesterday, you first beat gongs and drums to parade through the streets, and then you were publicly shot outside Lao Sicheng...... There are thousands of onlookers around to testify about this, Wang Papi, do you admit it? ”
Wang Shihua rolled his eyes angrily, waited for a while, and saw Fang Jue smiling and drinking tea, obviously waiting for his reply. Helpless, he could only nod and say, "I did it." However, I was responding to the government's call to ban smoking in my jurisdiction. A few of them dared to openly violate state laws and government announcements, and they were absolutely innocent. ”
"Look! You yourself said that they are violating the decrees of the state. Then, Wang Papi, you should also know that without the permission of the government, you have no right to publicly try and shoot the people, right? ”
"I'm the mayor of the town, why ...... it"
"Huh! Scold! Wang Jiazhu, since I took office, the first decree issued was that all townships and towns should be re-elected. Now, other townships and towns have obeyed the order and re-elected, as if you don't have it in Longtang Town. Do you think you're the mayor? After speaking, he glanced at Wang Shihua in anger triumphantly, and said with a smile: "I don't remember that I appointed the mayor of Longtang Town. ”
Nima! You really deserve to be an official, lying and not making drafts, and fooling the people is your forte...... Since you took office, the order has never been out of the county seat, so why don't you know which township in the county has been re-elected. Besides, the ban on smoking is an order of the government, and Lao Tzu helps you implement it, and you don't reward Lao Tzu, but instead use the topic to play, and hit a rake, which is really unreasonable.
"Weasel, don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, hurry up, do you want to beat my family's food again."
This time, Fang Jue admitted very happily.
nodded, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is the head of a county, do you think Lao Tzu is willing to die in front of you and beg you again and again?" You think I don't know it's a good thing to be non-smoking? Do you think I don't understand the truth of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? But every time I look at the hungry victims, at the dying victims, at the victims who only want a bite to eat and do not hesitate to sell their children and daughters, I ...... I...... I have to ask if I don't ask for it! ”
"Ask for a fart!" Wang Shihua was furious: "Don't perform here in Lao Tzu, if you don't have food, you have to die, you can do it yourself!" ”
After speaking, Wang Shihua got up angrily to leave, but was grabbed by Fang Jue: "Wang family master, Wang family master, there is something to discuss~!" Why rush to go? Come! Sit down, and we'll talk about it slowly. ”
"Talk about it. Every time we discuss and discuss, the result is that you extort food from me, but you always give me some empty checks. Having said that, Wang Shihua still sat down: "This time, you have to give me something real, otherwise, there will be no door." ”
"Otherwise, Master Wang, how much is my flesh worth, how about you chop it up and replace it with grain?"
Wang Shihua directly rolled his eyes: A dignified county magistrate actually played a scoundrel in front of me, and you really have you.
"Or else!" Fang Jue took out a small box from his arms, and said with a smile while opening it for Wang Shihua: "How about I exchange this for food?" ”
Wang Shihua looked at it and was very depressed: It's a bracelet again, my two daughters have ten tricks, and your wife will take this as a gift, and now, you take out two more, even if your family is really a big family that opens a jade shop, you should understand: Once there is too much of anything, it is worthless.
Seeing Wang Shihua glaring directly, Fang Jue said with a smile while stuffing the box into Wang Shihua's hand: "Don't underestimate this, it's a baby, it's my wife's family heirloom green bracelet, there are four in total, each of which is engraved with a word, which together is 'auspicious Ruyi!'" ’……”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Shihua directly turned his depression into a tangle: Should I take the opportunity to beat him up? Nima! The relationship you gave me two before, just to pave the way for the following two, and you have already laid a good set for me.
"Hey~! I really can't help it. ”
"Otherwise." Wang Shihua sneered and sarcastically said: "You come to wash my feet, every time you wash it, I will give you a thousand catties of food." How is it? ”
Wang Shihua was originally sarcastic and shameless, but he never expected that Fang Jue not only nodded with a smile, but also immediately asked: "Otherwise, I will call my wife over to wash your wife's feet, you have so many wives, and my wife and I don't want much, five hundred catties of grain at a time, how about it?" ”
Wang Shihua was frightened, got up, and subconsciously asked, "Won't it be really difficult to this point?" ”
is the head of a county, not only is he willing to wash people's feet, but he also wants to bring his wife in, in order to exchange for more food for the people to live...... Wang Shihua was really angry and convinced. If it were me, I wonder if I could go and serve and urine for the sake of the whole people? He couldn't be sure, the only thing he could be sure of was that as long as he nodded, Fang Jue would definitely be able to do it.
Fang Jue looked up at the ceiling, his jaw moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
After a short while, he let out a long breath and smiled bitterly at Wang Shihua's self-deprecation: "It's definitely more difficult than you think." If you don't make a move, starvation and devastation will be the state of affairs after the year. Wait any longer, and you will be fortunate enough to see with your own eyes the great sorrow of the people who have changed their children and eaten. ”
Wang Shihua's brows tightened......
