It turned out that this was the case, Xie Hong pouted, such a thing may be relatively new in ancient times when information was not very smooth, but in later generations, it is already a bad street. It is nothing more than one party occupying the market and the other party wants to seize it, so these means are used to stink the other party and seize the situation.

Erniu's craftsmanship Xie Hong knows, it is definitely not possible to fight the magic weapon, and other things such as farm tools and even ordinary military things should not have any problems, it seems that this Dongjiazhuang has put a lot of thought into it.

After figuring out the reason for the matter, Xie Hong stepped forward and walked over.

Fu Bantou asked about the situation, he was having a headache, don't talk about him this kind of thing, even if the county magistrate is there, it is not easy to deal with it, both sides have some truths, each has its own opinion, if it is biased towards the Dong family, Zhang Erniu's father has just died, and he has to fall into the reputation of bullying the people, and the Dong family is a big family, although he does not know the details, he cannot be easily provoked.

When he was in trouble, when he looked up, he saw Xie Hong walking over with a figure-eight step, Fu Bantou was an old fritter in the yamen, and he also knew that Xie Hong and Zhang Erniu had some friendship, and pondered: Is this Xie Zhushu planning to help his friend out? It's okay, Lao Fu will sell him face, and if something happens, we can't blame Lao Fu.

As soon as he turned around, he shouted loudly: "Don't make any noise, Master Xie is here, and Lord Xie will judge the merits." His voice was not small, and his voice shook everyone outside, and the front of the yamen suddenly quieted down.

It's just that as soon as Xie Hong appeared, there was a buzzing discussion in the crowd again, without him, Xie Hong was too young. The people who also came to watch yesterday were okay, they saw Xie Hong offering treasures, and they also saw Xie Hong being invited into the county government by the county magistrate, how much can they understand.

Zhang Erniu was directly stunned, why did Brother Xiaohong, who had met the day before yesterday, suddenly become an official? Don't you get dizzy after arguing, your eyes are spent, right?

But the people in Dongjiazhuang are not satisfied, this is the master bookkeeper? Look at the face is only a teenager, so that you can become an official. Let this kid judge the case, what's the use, even if the family wins, I'm afraid no one will be convinced, and someone will immediately make an uproar.

"You're not mistaken, are you? Where did you find such a child, who didn't even have any hair, and dared to pretend to be an official of the imperial court! ”

"That's it, that's it, you don't even have an official robe, that officer, aren't you dazzled and regard the students of the county school as the main book, right?" One is that Xie Hong took office too hastily, and the other is that the officials are lazy, Xie Hong is still wearing a green shirt, although it is already his best clothes, but there are still a few patches on it, which is very unconvincing.

Being stared at by a group of people, Xie Hong was also a little under pressure, plus in his previous life, he only had the experience of being watched twice when he received the award and yesterday. But at this time, he couldn't show his timidity, he calmly walked to Fu Bantou's side, and asked in a deep voice: "Fu Bantou, what's going on?" ”

This trick was learned by him from the TV in his previous life, and as soon as the leader arrived at the scene, no matter how much he knew about the matter, he would ask such a sentence to show his impartiality and ignorance, and now it just suits.

Fu Bantou was amazed in his heart, this Xie Xiucai was still a flat-headed ordinary person yesterday, and today he has official authority, and he can play an official tone, this sentence is asked evenly, and there is no leakage, is there really someone who is born to be an official?

He is also an old official, he was surprised, but his face was not visible, and he reported solemnly: "Lord Register, these people are from Dongjiazhuang in the south, and the big black man is Zhang Erniu, a blacksmith in the west of the county. Said that before Dongjiazhuang went to the Zhangjia blacksmith shop to order a few iron plows, yesterday when they were sent over because of the quality of the iron plow, there was a dispute, and today the county government came. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xie Hong knew that Fu Bantou was sophisticated, and his words were impartial, and his relationship with Erniu was not a secret, but this team leader pretended not to know and introduced it, obviously a person who could do things. The world is full of knowledge and talents.

Seeing Xie Hong smiling and nodding, obviously understanding his careful thoughts, Fu Bantou was pleasantly surprised, and said secretly in his heart:

"Could it be true that Wenqu Xing said it, otherwise this Xie Zhushu is so young and so sophisticated? My old Fu has been working at the yamen for more than ten years to understand the Tao, this Lord Xie is unself-taught, with such a clear surname, and opportunities, the future is immeasurable! ”

A group of officials discussed taking refuge in Xie Hong, and they still had the idea of using Xie Hong as a shield, anyway, after the benefits were in hand, they didn't care who Xie Hong and Chen Dianshi won or lost. At this time, after watching Xie Hong's performance, Fu Bantou's heart was a little shaken: Maybe this is a good backer, what this official is afraid of is not a low position, but whether he will be an official, do you want to ask for a surname and take refuge in him?

They replied a few words to each other, but the people of the Dong family were shocked, and the Dong family is also a big family, not that they have never seen the world. Scholars have seen a lot, and it is normal to quote scriptures and classics when they speak, but the person in front of him is obviously different, and he asked a question after he appeared, and then he bowed his head slightly, and the official authority was full! Even if it's not really the main book, it must be the son of some official eunuch.

If it is an ordinary child of a poor family, being watched by everyone like this, I am afraid that his feet will be weak, how can he be so calm? What's more, the attitude of those officials who were still very domineering just now was also very respectful to this young man, maybe he really had a big background, so he was able to serve as a Jiupin official in the year of the weak crown.

With such an idea, everyone in the Dong family did not dare to continue to make noise, and they all quieted down. Xie Hong didn't expect that he would have such an effect, if he knew, he would definitely sigh that his acting skills were good enough, and he might be able to be an actor in the future.

There were more than a dozen people from Dongjiazhuang, most of whom were dressed in short clothes, and they should all be bankers. Xie Hong looked carefully, two of them were more conspicuous, one was wearing a silk shirt, and some were fat, so he should be in charge. There is also a bearded person who is inconspicuous, and he is still hidden in the middle of the crowd, but Xie Hong's eyesight, it is not only dexterous that can carve small characters, but also eyesight.

Xie Hong glanced at it, and found that the Zhuang Ke next to the person subconsciously regarded this person as the center, and faintly surrounded him, and the few people facing him were also a little rickety.

With a plan in his heart, Xie Hong asked, "Which of you is in charge?" ”

The man in the silk shirt bowed down and responded: "Go back to the master bookkeeper, the villain is the housekeeper in the village, and my lord asked the little one to come here to preside." ”

"What does your Dong family do for a living?"

"Back to my lord, the ancestors of the Dong family have been officials in Beijing, and they have been farming and studying for a hundred years." Steward Dong's tone was respectful, but there was a sense of deterrence in his words.

In this era, many large local families have official backgrounds, and even if no one is an official at the moment, it is difficult to maintain some relationships such as protégés and former officials. These relationships are intricately intertwined, and generally when the local big families have disputes with the people, the magistrates will also be more partial to the big ones, so as not to provoke the people who should not be provoked and incur unwarranted disasters.

These things are not difficult to understand, Xie Hong sneered in his heart, this kind of thing is similar in later generations, and this kind of thing is the same in any era. His face remained unchanged and he continued to ask:

"Since it has been cultivated for generations, there should be a lot of fields and people in the village, right?"

Steward Dong was a little confused by Xie Hong's question about jumping his surname: Is this little master book going to take the opportunity to check the land? He didn't know if Xie Hong understood the meaning of what he said just now, so he hesitated for a moment, and then reported the data on the books: "My lord, Dongjiazhuang has 500 acres of fertile land and 80 people. ”

As he spoke, Xie Hong noticed out of the corner of his eye that the bearded man seemed to be saying something, and then one of the bankers ran away.

I only heard the butler continue: "If you have any doubts, you may wish to go to our village to inspect one or two." "If the deterrence fails, it will be replaced by an inducement, and the so-called patrol is just a convenience to stuff some benefits.

Xie Hong showed a smile on his face and said, "Your Dong family and Zhang Erniu gambled with an iron plow, and then the Dong family won, right?" ”

"Exactly, if you don't believe it, we will bring something with you." Several Zhuang guests heard the sound and lifted the two iron plows up, sure enough, one was bent, and the other was no different, Steward Dong had been peeking at Xie Hong's face, and when he saw Xie Hong smiling, he thought that the lure worked, so he began to be biased, and said proudly: "My lord Mingjian, this Zhang family's iron is not successful......

Xie Hong didn't answer, he stepped forward to look at the Dong family's iron plow, knocked it with his hand, observed the texture again, and then counted it in his heart, turned around and smiled: "Sure enough, the craftsmanship of the owner of Dong Zhuang is indeed exquisite." ”

Steward Dong was proud, didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "That's natural, my Dong family's blacksmith workshop is also famous in Xuanfu Town......" Halfway through speaking, he realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't change his words, he was stunned there, and all the villagers were also dizzy, didn't they say that they wanted to hide this identity, why did the always shrewd housekeeper suddenly make a fool?

Seeing this, Xie Hong didn't give the Dong family time to react, and said quickly: "Since the Dong family has its own blacksmith workshop, why bother to play a few iron plows in the hands of outsiders?" What did Zhang Erniu say about murder and hurting people, could it be that he committed murder on the land of the Dong family against dozens of men in the Dong family? All this is clearly a means for your Dong family to suppress your peers, and now you have nothing to say! ”

The onlookers were in an uproar, the Dong family's blacksmith workshop did not have a semicolon in Beizhuang County, and the information transmission at this time was far from as fast as in later generations, so no one in Beizhuang County knew the details of the Dong family, only that it was a large household nearby.

Xie Hong asked the truth in a few words, only to see that the people in Dongjiazhuang, who were still arrogant just now, wilted, and the people of Beizhuang County knew about yesterday's incident, and they only had envy and jealousy for Xie Hong, but at this time, they were even more awe-inspiring.

"Xie Xiucai is really powerful, it seems that even if he doesn't have that music box, he will be able to become a big official sooner or later."

"What a showman, I'm going to call him Master Xie, I've long seen how extraordinary he is. You think, the fourteen-year-old Xiucai must have Su Hui, and when he waits for the township test next year, he may be a person, maybe he will be a Wenqu star, and sooner or later he will be named on the gold list. ”

……

Listening to everyone's discussions, Xie Hong smiled freely, this has nothing to do with Su Hui or anything. Today's matter is already strange, the bearded and strong man in the Dong family made a gesture, Xie Hong saw the traces of smoke and fire again, and then remembered the attitude of those Zhuang guests towards him, and it was not difficult to determine his identity.

As for letting the housekeeper blow himself up, he relied on the insight of the Internet age. This kind of routine of distracting the other party with scattered questions, then complimenting the other party, unconsciously pulling the other party's thinking, and finally asking the key surname question, has been used in later generations. It is a carving insect subtotal used by middle school students in the 21st century.

It's not easy to use in later generations, but it's still easy to use in this Ming Dynasty, and the housekeeper was originally a sharp-tongued person, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to do this, but he first guessed Xie Hong's identity, and then was taken by Xie Hong's might, and finally fell into the way.

The housekeeper's face was as pale as earth, and Xie Hong ignored him, because the strong man was the key person. Xie Hong saw that the Zhuang Ke who had just been sent out had returned, and muttered a few words in the strong man's ear, and a smile appeared on the strong man's originally angry face.
