Chapter 43: The Troubles of the County Lord

Drunken guest building, today is different from usual, although they are all the same lively, but at this moment, every guest officer is excited, because the shopkeeper Su said that today's meals are all free, but the guests are not allowed to order, and it is all up to the people in the drunken guest building to serve the food.

There are no usual delicacies and jade plates on the table, but they are also delicacies, after all, they are all made by the drunken guest house. Those of you still remember that the last time you had a free meal in the drunken guest house was when the old shopkeeper was not dead, and when you encounter such a good thing today, you must have a good experience for your stomach.

Some of the guests who had already eaten went back and told their relatives and friends to come to the drunken guest house in groups.

Maybe it's the ordinary table of dishes in the drunken guest building, which is not something that ordinary people can afford, so now that I have the opportunity to taste the deliciousness, I naturally won't let it go.

Relatively speaking, Qiu Zhixian and Chu Huayi are much more luxurious than other tables, three bowls of meat, which are fully expressed at this table, but unfortunately this table is more special, not only is it not free, but it is still a high consumption. Qiu Zhixian also wondered, the entire drunken guest building is free, why is his table still high consumption?

Chu Huayi saw the doubts in his heart, that is, he smiled and didn't speak, because he knew the reason, it must be that the woman in the shopkeeper Su cleaned herself up in disguise, and used the trick of the last time to put herself in a position.

However, this time, it was the county lord who invited him, and he only cared about eating with vegetables, eating and drinking, and as for the rest, he didn't know anything.

"Today, Lord Qiu is hospitable, and the grass people are a little flattered." Chu Huayi said with a smile.

"Haha, Prince Chu laughed. Now you are a big celebrity in our Cheung Chau County! ”

Chu Huayi smiled: "Isn't this all due to you, Lord Qiu?" ”

When Qiu Zhixian heard this, he thought that Chu Huayi was thanking him for sending him the Changzhou plaque, and he was a little happy in his heart, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." Don't worry about it! ”

Don't take it to heart? Chu Huayi's heart flew with anger, you old guy, you almost cut off Lao Tzu's head, and asked me not to worry about it, are you here to be funny? But this is over, let him go with the wind!

He smiled slightly, laughed at the unhappy past, and said, "Lord Qiu, when I was in prison, I met a few prisoners, and I dare to ask my lord what they do?" ”

Qiu Zhixian heard Chu Huayi mention the prisoner, slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, and paced slowly, as if he couldn't say anything, and as if he didn't know where to start with this matter?

"If there is anything unspeakable about my lordship, it is Hua Yi's negligence, please forgive me, and it would be better not to arrest me and send me to prison again."

Qiu Zhixian said with a smile: "Haha, the prince is serious. Now you are a big man in our Changzhou County, and you have a Changzhou plaque, how can you say that you can catch it? ”

"I see that when you hear about the prison inmates, it's like a different person, but it makes me curious." Chu Huayi said with a smile.

Qiu Zhixian thought about it for a while and said what he was worried about, it turned out that the prison was not an ordinary prisoner, there were murderers who treated human life like a mustard, there were also flower thieves who defiled the yellow flower girl, and the king of the mountain who fell into the grass・・・・・・ everyone's sins can be regarded as unforgivable.

Chu Huayi gritted his teeth when he listened to them, these people he originally thought were just filmed by the director in order to attract people's attention, and at the same time he deeply believed in the fine tradition of the state of etiquette, morality and righteousness, and now listening to Qiu Zhixian's words, these people are undoubtedly rat feces in a pot of porridge, leaving a black mark in history and polluting traditional Chinese culture.

Thinking of this, he thought of himself before he went to prison, Wu Tai molested Guihua on the street, if it wasn't for Huang Zixia's eldest brother who appeared in time, Guihua would have been poisoned and would spend his days in the dark forever, and Wu Tai would still be molesting women from good families on the street during the day, and drunk and lying in the arms of beauties at night, and life was not easy.

It suddenly occurred to him that the existence of men was a mistake, and that men who were clean and weird should not be born.

"Why don't you just behead such a vicious person?" Chu Huayi said indignantly.

"Young Master Chu! I also want to seek justice for the people, but these people have a big background behind them, how can I afford to provoke a small magistrate? ”

When Chu Huayi heard this, he was unhappy in his heart, perhaps it was the blood in his body that inspired his justice, and he immediately slapped the table. It didn't matter, but it drew the eyes of the guests who were enjoying the free meals around him, and a pair of eyes stared straight at him.

He didn't care about the eyes around him, anyway, it wasn't the first time he was stared at like this, and said, "Lord Qiu, isn't it against the way of being an official that you are an official?" "No matter how Qiu Zhixian reacts? He continued: "A person who reads the books of Confucian sages will naturally not be afraid of the powerful. The moment you put on your official uniform and black gauze hat, you should know that you are a parent official. Regardless of the size of the official position, he is a great official who can ask for the people's life. Li Taibai Zeng Yun: 'An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, so that I couldn't be happy', I think, isn't the happy face of a Qing official how much income does he have? But how heavy is his position among the people? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out all around, and the guests shouted the word "good", and some said a lot, such as someone shouted: "That's a good thing!" ”

When Qiu Zhixian heard this, his face was full of shame, a servant can tell this truth, but he doesn't know that he is an official? At this moment, Chu Huayi's position in these enthusiastic hearts was clear at a glance, and he said: "Everyone just sit down and eat and drink well, this official must be a clean official who asks for the people's life." ”

When everyone saw the county lord speak, they had to sit down obediently. Qiu Zhixian came to Chu Huayi's side and whispered: "Master Chu, you don't enter the officialdom, you don't know the rules here." What you said earlier is what every new official wants to do, but after a long time, everything has changed its taste, and if you want to survive, you have to follow the rules here. ”

"Rules?"

Chu Huayi doesn't understand, there are still rules in officialdom. Qiu Zhixian explained to him one by one, and he knew that it was difficult to be an official, and it was even more difficult to be a clean official.

It turned out that in the officialdom, it was not that he was on the imperial examination list, and the official position was ironclad, but that he visited various powerful people who could help him and find a good place for himself. For example, if the last place on the emperor list has a relationship, you can go to a relatively rich county to be a county lord, and if the top ranking is Bai Ding's background, that is, a parent official in a remote area, the land is barren, and he has to pay taxes on time, and he can't make ends meet every year, at best, he has an official to do. In addition to the county, there are also superiors, and the prefect has to give some benefits every year, either silver tickets or heavy gifts, and they have been cooperating like this for a long time. In addition, you have to pay attention to the people below at all times, if the East Window incident, you will be the one who will be responsible in the end.

With these explanations from Qiu Zhixian, Chu Huayi understood that he was really an outsider watching the excitement, and he didn't understand the bitterness and hardship, and said: "Lord Qiu, although you work hard, no matter what, it is your duty to do things for the people." As for those prisoners, they are harmful, and if they remain in the world, they will only pollute the air. ”

"Young Master Chu! Those prisoners are secretly related, and they will be released soon, and I am worried that something will happen again? ”
