405. Elected
Thousands of ticket stickers, the county magistrate alone couldn't finish reading at all, only read more than 400 copies, his throat couldn't stand it, and he changed the history of Gong Cao to continue reading. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info●⌒,
The officials on the stage can also be rotated, but the scribes who have been spreading the word below are not rotated, and they are all smoking in their voices, but fortunately, later, the onlookers are spontaneously passing the word on behalf of the scribes.
As he listened, the people gradually began to crowd towards the high platform again, and the officials had to stop several times and shout for them to disperse.
The atmosphere was not tense, because the ticket sticker was read later, and in the hearts of the champions, it seemed that it had evolved into a war.
A war between a large group of champion natives and a few outsiders.
When Cao Shi recited his name, Chen Jiao had already won more than 70 meritorious votes, ranking first on the list; Bai Zhang had more than 40 votes, ranking second; In the end, the third place was unexpectedly stale, Ning Xuan and Xie Chang both had about 30 votes, and it was still difficult for you to chase me.
Often, Ning Xuangang had one or two more votes to surpass, and it didn't take long for Xie Chang's recommendation votes to pour out again, and after it was flat, he overtook it, and then was caught up by the other party.
The first Chen Jiao's recommendation has already left the others far away, and the second place is also very stable, and when Bai Zhang won the vote, the people in the audience were too lazy to cheer again.
The top three with the most votes are the township elders elected by the county, if there is no accident later, the first has been determined to be an outsider, and the second is the local village sage, the two sides are currently equal, and the third place seems to belong to the winner of this one.
Every time Xie Chang's name is read, the crowd in the audience has to cheer and cheer neatly, counting the votes for him, and the sound is so loud that it should be heard outside the city; And when I read the name of Ningxuan. It's just a jumble of modal words. For example, "huh", "huh", "hum", "phew" and so on.
On and off stage. Countless people were red-faced, worried about it, and their expressions of excitement and annoyance kept appearing.
Every time the name is read on the stage, the ticket sticker must be shown to Xie Chang and others and the people in the front row of the audience, Xie Chang can see it clearly, the county magistrate and Gong Cao Shi have never made a mistake, and the name on each ticket sticker is indeed consistent with the reading, and the county Cheng is also accurately recorded on the wooden board.
Those who don't know each other don't care about Chen Jiao, Bai Zhang, Ning Xuan or themselves. It's all real, and it's absolutely unimaginable before.
Why do so many people who don't know each other vote for themselves?
When Gong Cao Shi began to read the name, the rest of the people who were recommended to be called to the stage only had five votes at most, the gap was really big, and it was estimated that the possibility of a reversal in the back was not large, and they all stepped down one after another, and no one was willing to come up with the new names read later, and the alternative villagers who stayed on the stage were finally only Chen Jiao, Ning Xuan, and Xie Chang.
Gradually, Old Man Xie Chang found out, for some reason. Every time I think of myself or my competitor Ningxuan, my chest must be tightened without compromise.
Today's events. Didn't you plan not to come before? I didn't expect that when things came to an end, at such an old age, the heart of gain and loss was still so heavy, and I was really ashamed the more I lived!
Xie Chang couldn't help but laugh at himself.
When the number of votes exceeded the other party again, the old man finally couldn't help but secretly look at the old scribe next to him, Ning Xuan, at this time, the other party's face was flushed, not to mention, sweat was still dripping down from the sideburns, nose tip, and jaw, and the clothes on his shoulders were soaked.
Seeing the opponent's embarrassment, Xie Chang grinned secretly, secretly saying that there was something worse than his own, so there was no need to worry too much.
As soon as I relaxed a little, I found that my shoulders and thighs were already sore, and I shrugged my shoulders to move, only to realize that my back and chest were also wet, and even the inner swells on both sides of my thighs had been wet and stuck to the meat.
The palms, toes, and face are not all sweat? And in the morning, he only cared about scolding, and he didn't eat even the morning food, and at this time, the empty stomach was screaming loudly.
There are so many abnormalities on my body, I didn't even notice it before!
When the feeling came back, the old man suddenly cried and laughed, and hurriedly waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat stains on his face, fortunately, the weather was already hot, and he was not afraid that the little cubs below would see the jokes.
Under the scorching sun, Gong Cao Shi couldn't stand it after reading for a while, and changed positions with the county magistrate, and the main book was also sour, and the county magistrate replaced him with records.
There are more than 1,100 meritorious people on the household registration of the champion county, and there are dozens of meritorious people who have not returned the ticket in the end.
Chen Jiao and Bai Zhang were still far ahead, Xie Chang was even more nervous, at this time his votes were sixty-four, and Ningxuan was sixty-six, and Ningxuan had the advantage.
Xie Chang couldn't help but regret it again, he went crazy today to run to this stage, he must have lost all his old face in the clan, if he loses again in the end, wouldn't it be even worse? How will I go out to meet people in the future?
Why don't you sneak home now?
The old man turned to the steps, but found that the patriarch Xie Su was standing there, looked at him, smiled and waved his hand and shouted: "Uncle, Uncle!" ”
"Uncle!" "Uncle!"
The people around Xie Su are not the juniors in the clan?
Xie Chang felt that it was most appropriate for him to pretend to faint while the weather was hot, but looking at the appearance of the patriarch and juniors grinning one by one at this time, it seemed that it was not as embarrassing as he imagined.
The first vote of the county Cheng Nian was Ningxuan's again, Xie Su lamented loudly in the audience, and stomped his feet and shouted: "Uncle! Better than him! ”
"Uncle, the champion people all hope that you will defeat him!"
The juniors in the clan also shouted, Xie Chang frowned and glanced at the remaining unread ticket stickers in the box, and said secretly: The old man also wants to beat him, but this is all cast by the people before, can the old man make the effort?
The county Cheng took it in the box casually, read it down one by one, fortunately mixed with a few Chen Jiao recommendation votes, Xie Chang connected five votes later, and caught up with it, not to mention, but more than two votes.
Then, as before, you chased after me.
By the time the wooden box was finally completely empty, the county magistrate and the county magistrate counted on the whiteboard, Chen Jiao got more than 190 votes, Bai Zhang got more than 120 votes, and Ning Xuan and Xie Chang finally got 83 votes and 87 votes.
Xie Chang narrowly won by four votes, and the people of the Xie clan and the champion county of Nanyang County seemed to have won a battle, and they were all honored, and they let out earth-shattering cheers.
Ning Xuan left the high platform first with some loss, and the county magistrate dragged his tired body over and said to Chen Jiao and Xie Chang: "I will send someone to report it to Bai Gong Office today." However, the recorded documents still need to be copied back to each pavilion, and the meritorious people's homes are asked to admit that there are no errors or omissions, and this matter can be concluded in only half a month. If the old man is a good citizen or a commoner's home, his household registration can be promoted to a third-class meritorious citizen, and Toda will be allocated again. Half a month later, the three township sages can set off to Luoyang, this need to live in Beijing for three years, the township old people only rest in the first and last February of each year, you can return home, the road is far away, when whether to return to the housework please the old man to be healthy first. Therefore, please take care of the family affairs first, and if there is a place in my official temple, you can come and tell you! On the day of departure, the county sent a scribe to accompany each of them to take care of the old man's journey and Luoyang's living. ”
It was an unexpected joy to be able to change the household registration of his family to a meritorious person, Xie Chang had no confidence to blow his nose and stare at the official temple like before, so he could only reluctantly salute and thank him, and he felt that his hands and feet did not seem to obey the call, and the etiquette was not thorough.
Stepping down with a red face, Xie Chang was still dizzy in his mind, Xie Su and other clansmen walked through the crowd around him, and people he didn't know were shouting "Xie Gong" at him, and the old man could only nod vigorously.
Squeezed out of the crowd, the juniors of the Xie family were still laughing and laughing, hugging him and rushing home.
As soon as he turned the corner, there was a tall old man with an angry beard blocking the middle of the road, Xie Su saw it, and hurriedly said to Xie Chang: "Uncle, it's the patriarch of the Bai clan!" ”
Xie Chang also saw clearly that the other party was Bai Zhang, who had not come to the stage today, and only said that he had not come to the scene, so he hurriedly walked over to give a salute: "Brother Zhengde!" ”
Bai Zhang's face was flat, and he glanced at the elated Xie clan a few times before he snorted coldly: "Looking at the aristocracy, the champion Xie clan will serve Deng Mu'an as the master today?" ”
This sound was like cold water poured head-on, instantly extinguishing Xie Chang and Xie Su's excited emotions.
In front of this person, Xie Chang only felt ashamed, and he couldn't spit out half a word.
How can a sentence make a cold scene? A junior among the clansmen couldn't help but argue: "This county has been ruled by the Yuan State, and the Xie and Bai clans have not moved away. What does Bai Gong mean? Military affairs are not known to us, but the three village elders voted today, Bai Gong and Uncle have to occupy two of them, and they are stronger than the people of Sizhou, and the people of the champion are not happy? ”
Bai Zhang scolded him angrily: "A fool who doesn't know things, thinks he can speak well, but he doesn't know that there is only artemisia grass in his belly!" If you look at the field again, today it is clear that the Yuan Kingdom has won a big victory and the Champion County has been defeated! ”
The young man turned his head, and the corner of the street blocked that he couldn't see that side, but everyone in the scene should still be laughing and laughing, and those who didn't know each other were talking about it, most of them refused to leave, and then turned around and wondered: "Everyone is happy, isn't it that Bai Gong doesn't want to be a villager and wants to give way to that Ning Gong?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already pulled by Xie Su, and the patriarch sighed softly with some hatred: "Bai Gong's intention is that it is the election system of the Yuan Kingdom, and the people of the champions are vying to watch and congratulate each other, so it is a great victory for the Yuan Kingdom!" ”
Only then did the young man remember that his uncle Xie Chang and patriarch Xie Su were actually against the fourth-class people's policy and the Yuan system, and now his uncle had to be elected as the village elder, and his family was still celebrating, but was it not the victory of Dayuan?
He wanted to refute Bai Zhang, but he couldn't find the words to say.
Seeing the appearance of the Xie family's people, although Xie Chang was ashamed, he didn't say anything, Bai Zhang stomped his feet and said angrily: "In its hub, everyone still thinks it's lucky, Xie is useless and stupid!" Bah! ”
Spat his saliva into the ground, he strode away.
Bai Zhang had already scolded the whole clan, and only his uncle Xie Chang was present and the patriarch Xie Su was of equal status, but both of them blushed and didn't dare to say a word, the young man was not angry, and he opened his throat and asked in the back: "Bai Gong insulted me Xie today, but he shouldn't be a village elder?" Change that Ninggong to Luoyang? ”
"How not?" Bai Zhang's footsteps paused, then turned back and sneered: "The old man will go to Luoyang to make a fuss, everything Deng Mu'an wants to do is not allowed, and everything he wants to stop is allowed, what about watching him cocoon himself?" (To be continued.) )
