Thanks for the great reward of 30 changes. Today is Thanksgiving, Xiaoyu just knew, in a special day, especially thank you for your continued support. Then, ahem, I'm sorry, but I still continue to ask everyone for recommendations, ask for collections, thank you, thank you.

――――――――――――――――――

The next day, the Registrar's Office.

"Thank you, Master Lu, please come over."

"Got it, it's in the back hall?" Xie Hong looked at the visitors, some of them were fresh, but they were dressed as scribes.

"Master Lu is waiting for you in the lobby." Although he was a scribe and his errand was just a message, Xie Hong felt that this person had a bit of arrogance and ...... in his tone Contempt?

As for the ...... Lobby, that's where the talk came from?

Xie Hong glanced at Fang Jin, who was standing solemnly at the door, and saw Fang Jin nod slightly. Hmph, Old Man Lu is really anxious, the account book was handed over to him yesterday, and he can't wait to jump out today, he really doesn't know whether to live or die.

"You go and report first, and say that the official will arrive later." Xie Hong didn't raise his hand, just waved his hand casually. The person who reported the news froze, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to speak, but at last he remembered something, and turned back with a salute.

Looking at his back, Xie Hong stood up with a sneer, walked slowly to the door, and said as if talking to himself: "There should be no problem, right?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, he doesn't have the slightest doubt." Fang Jin understood, bowed and replied.

"Who is this person who just reported it?" Xie Hong doesn't like accidents. I have been serving in the county government for more than two months, no matter which room is the scrivener, the people in the county government should have seen it, but just now this person was very faceless, could it be that Old Man Lu also prepared something to deal with him?

"This ......" Fang Jin paused slightly, pondering the wording: "Your Excellency should know that there is a lifter in the county office, right?" ”

"I think I've heard it said." Xie Hong didn't care much about these things in the first place.

"Just now, it's the Qian Juren." Fang Jin explained: "He only served in the county government to subsidize his family, although he held a position, he did not recognize himself as a scribe, and ......" He hesitated, "So, the adults have not seen him." In the original matter of money and food, money raised people a lot. ”

What Fang Jin didn't say, Xie Hong also understood. When he first came to the Yamen, the scribes did not like him very much, and it was not until the events that happened later that these people had to compliment him. This Qian Juren is also one of them, and he is the one who doesn't want to see him, after all, he is a lifter.

"He is a lifter, why is his family still very poor?"

Xie Hong was a little puzzled, the Ming Dynasty treated scholars quite well. I didn't know it originally, and I thought that this talent identity was useless. After reading the classics in the yamen, I found that Xiucai was actually very remarkable, if it was the founding of the country, in addition to exempting himself from taxes, he could also receive two buckets of rice per month, and even at the best time, he could also receive a subsidy of one or two silver per month.

This is already higher than the treatment of graduate students in later generations, and when Xie Hong first found out, he was also smacking. And compared with Xiucai and lifting people, it is a world of difference, and it cannot be compared at all.

With the fame of the people, the taxes of the whole family are exempted, and in addition, they have the qualification to be officials. Of course, now is not the time when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it is very easy for scholars to become officials, and it is also difficult for people without background to become officials. However, there are still very few people who are willing to be officials, so Xie Hong is puzzled.

"Speaking of which...... Fang Jin was still so careful, "this Qian Juren is also a little similar to an adult. As he spoke, he peeked at Xie Hong's face and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he continued: "His family was originally considered to be solid, but his parents were seriously ill one after another, and his father died of illness, so he ......."

"I see." Xie Hong nodded, he was indeed very similar to himself, and he was also a filial son. However, since he has been hiding and refusing to see himself, he is still a little angry when he thinks about it, and he jumps out at this time, hum, presumably it is not good to come. If you dare to bare your teeth at the master, then you will have the consciousness of having your teeth knocked out.

Xie Hong didn't take this money to heart, he was just a poor man who was resentful and then hated by jealousy, not an ambush. The family has already arranged it themselves, even if there is a case, it doesn't matter. Besides, I have already arranged it, and I still have a back hand, so there will be no surprises in thinking about it, so let's fight now.

When he went out, Xie Hong soon found that the atmosphere was not right, the officials who flattered him a few days ago had a great change in attitude, most of them had gloating expressions on their faces, and a few even dared to whisper in front of him. When he spoke, his voice was not deliberately lowered, and Xie Hong's ear power naturally could hear it clearly.

"The nouveau riche really wants it, it's going to be bad luck now, haha."

"Yes, since you dare to do it, don't keep the tail of your hands, you obviously don't understand anything, but it's pitiful to sit in such a position."

The officials were okay, it was those scribes who were sneering, and Xie Hong didn't bother to talk to these little people, so he just cast his eyes coldly. Although these officials got the news, but Xie Hong accumulated his prestige, swept it at a glance, and immediately fell silent, and those officials were silent, not daring to say any more, until Xie Hong walked away, he turned his head and ears again.

In the lobby, people come very well.

In addition to a few officials standing on both sides, Master Lu, who temporarily acted as the agent of the yamen's affairs, sat in the position of the magistrate, and the Qian Juren stood aside, which was the position that belonged to Master Lu. Fu Bantou stood in the hall with a hesitant face, not even paying attention to Xie Hong coming in, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Dian had already returned to Yamen on an errand a while ago, but today he was not there, and he didn't know where he went. Xie Hong had some guesses, since that time to admit defeat, no matter whether he won or lost, the Chen family had never blown up the thorns, and he admitted the account when he surrendered, and he admired the Chen family's singleness very much.

Today, since Master Lu dared to release the news to the officials, then the Chen family would not not know, in such a situation, they still did not appear, and that Master Chen really knew the times.

"Smack!" is different from everyone else, for Xie Hong, Master Lu is eager to see through. As soon as he saw Xie Hong enter the lobby, he picked up the shocking wood and slapped it heavily on the case, but he had a bit of the prestige of the county master.

"Thank you, are you guilty?" In the past ten days, Old Man Lu has practiced this action and this shouting countless times, and now he can finally use it in front of everyone. After that, he was able to completely knock down this hairy boy who had been pressing on his head because of his good luck and stepped on his feet. Thinking of this, the old man was extremely excited.

Xie Hong knew this, but he made a very stunned look on his face, and spread his hands and said: "Master Lu, you are asking this clueless, but this official is confused." Besides, are you going to take this position to replace Lord Zhixian to ascend to the court? ”

Affairs can be agent, but the power of this promotion is only available to the magistrate himself. Xie Hong's words were to the point, and Master Lu's face flushed a little, and then he became angry, and said, "The county magistrate has an order, let the old man act as the agent of the county yazhong's affairs." And the case you are suspected of is very serious, and the old man has to be cautious, so he used the lobby, but it is not a promotion. ”

The old man was a little carried away, so he broke the rules, opened the lobby, and specially asked Fu Bantou to call the officials and put on a posture. But when Xie Hong said this, his momentum was frustrated, and he was even more annoyed.

"Master Lu, you keep saying that the official is guilty, I don't know what charges you want to frame for the official?" The old man was angry, but Xie Hong smiled, and he asked with a smile, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

"Of course it's the crime of greedy ink...... "Master Lu hates Xie Hong's appearance of being light and light-hearted, and Zhizhu is in his hands, because every time something happens, Xie Hong is like this, and then somehow he solves the matter smoothly. What is it? Master Lu roared in his heart, this is shit luck.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Xie Hong smiling, he was carried away with anger, and he didn't pay attention to the trap in Xie Hong's words at all, and picked up the conversation casually.

"Ahem." Qian Juren on the side heard it, although he was also jealous of Xie Hong, but unlike Master Lu, he had never dealt with Xie Hong, even if he was at home, he was only immersed in studying, and he didn't know anything about the rumors in the market. Therefore, Master Lu was successfully provoked by Xie Hong casually, but he was very calm.

At this time, seeing that Master Lu was angry, he lost his sense of proportion, and hurriedly said out: "Thank you, Master Lu means that you are suspected of being greedy for ink, and this matter was discovered when I was trying the account books with Master Lu, but I don't allow you to quibble." ”

After he reminded him, Master Lu calmed down and said hatefully: "Yes, the matter of money and food is a major matter related to the safety of Beizhuang County, and the county magistrate trusts you more than the master of Xie, and entrusts you with such a heavy task, but you don't want to ......" He made a sad expression,

“…… You have failed the new appointment of the adult, and you have done such a thing, what face do you have to meet the adult? Is there an appointment to face the imperial court? What more face to face the people of Beizhuang? ”

"Master Lu, you are familiar with it, it's not appropriate for you to plant sham like this." Xie Hong replied in a relaxed tone, then his voice turned sharp, and he said coldly: "Don't think that if the magistrate asks you to act as an agent, you can bully the head of the official, and if you commit the next crime, the official will punish you." ”

"Xie Hong, you are so bold that you dare to slander Lord Zhixian." The old man jumped up all of a sudden, trembling with anger, and was accustomed to pulling things on Wang Zhixian.

"How can this official slander the magistrate."

"You don't mean dogs ......"

"Alas, Master Lu, you don't want to spend a day thinking about how to hurt people, you should read books occasionally." Xie Hong shook his head and sighed: "Is this dog fighting people, it's not the county magistrate who scolds." ”

"You ......" The old man's face was flushed, his beard was shaking, Xie Hong wondered with malice, would this old man be directly angry with himself if he couldn't use his back hand? If that's the case, you'll save yourself trouble.

Master Lu was attacked by anger and lost his square inch, but Qian Juren was still calm, he hurriedly reminded Master Lu when he saw this: "Lord Lu, why bother to fight with him, the evidence is ironclad, we have evidence in hand, just take the person with your hands, under the three-foot wood, what confession can't be made?" It can also make him turn up to the sky. ”
