After entering the eighth year of Jinghe, Xujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture gradually showed signs of the New Year, and the county did not levy forced labor during the winter leisure period this year, so the people were very comfortable, and the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival became thick early.

Speaking of which, these two years are the best time in recent years. In the fifth year of Jinghe, there was a big flood, and in the sixth year of Jinghe, there was a great drought, which forced Li Dianshi, the county government at that time, to beat the dragon king angrily and beg for rain, and it was not better until the seventh year of Jinghe.

And this year, although the rain is very heavy, but the year before last the county grandfather Chen Gong repaired the Xuhe embankment, and last year the Wang Governor's Mansion dredged the downstream river, so Xujiang County did not suffer from the disaster, and it can still be called a good year.

In this good year, the first festival to be celebrated in the month of Laba is Laba. After the autumn grain was harvested, the affairs in the yamen of Xujiang County also showed a downward trend, and they were all waiting for the New Year.

On this day, when a cadre of officials in the Yali of Xujiang County gathered in the public house to chat, suddenly the elder next to the eldest man came over and shouted: "Please Mr. Li go over to discuss the matter!" ”

Li Bai, the old officer of the torture room in the crowd, slowly got up and followed the chief.

Everyone can only be envious, but they can't be jealous at all. This Mr. Li has been a head catcher for more than ten years, and he already has a lot of weight in the county government, but this is nothing, his second son is really incredible, and he has almost become a mythical figure in the county.

The father is expensive by virtue of the son, and the son is prosperous, and the father's status in the county government is becoming more and more transcendent. When the county magistrate saw him, he also called him an old gentleman, and called him over from time to time to discuss things, and he simply used Mr. Li as a master.

Someone sighed: "Mr. Li has such an outstanding son, he doesn't go home to wait to be an old feudal monarch, and he still gets up early and touches the dark with me in the yamen, he is really a model of diligence." ”

The officials nodded yes one after another. I know very well in my heart that Mr. Li is paving the way for his eldest son, and he will continue to pass on this family business from his eldest son in the future.

Look at the sky, it is almost noon, and everyone has gone out to forage for food. But when he saw a flying horse galloping from a distance, he grabbed his horse and shouted, "I am the first official of the Qin Mission!" Quickly lead me to see Master Li Bai! ”

Hearing the word Qincha, the footsteps of all the officials who went to forage for food were nailed to the ground and looked at each other. It is customary for the yamen to receive the imperial edict, but in addition to the imperial history, the Qin messenger came in person, and the Xujiang County Ya has not been in the past 30 years, what happened this time?

After the shock was over, everyone realized that it was Mr. Li Bai who Qin Cha was looking for, not the magistrate, and they fell into shock again. What is the reason for this? Could it be that Li You committed a big thing, and the imperial court sent Qin to Xujiang County to raid the family and exterminate the clan? Otherwise, there is no other explanation.

The county yamen did not dare to slack off, and quickly led the knight inside.

Such a big thing happened, who still had the heart to eat, and when everyone was in shock, they saw a person running from a distance panting, but it was Li Zuo, the eldest son of Mr. Li.

Li Zuo saw a group of people at the entrance of the yamen and said, "Uncles, where is my father?" ”

Someone asked, "Li Zuo!" Didn't you go to Guazhou to deliver food, why did you come back today? Just now there was a messenger looking for your father, what do you know? ”

Li Zuo gasped and said, "Qin is here?" I also came for this, and I heard in Yangzhou that my second child saved the ancestral tomb of the emperor's family, and the court wanted to reward my Li family, so I rushed back to report the news! I still have a letter from my second brother here. ”

The entire county yamen suddenly exploded, the ancestral tomb of the emperor's family, that is the dragon vein! Saving the dragon vein should be similar to saving the driver, is the Li family going to be like in the storytelling, "Danshu iron coupons, hereditary replacement"? The imperial court specially sent Qin to send it, and it must not be wrong!

Li Zuo didn't care about continuing to show off, so he hurriedly entered the county office to deliver the letter.

The crowd talked a lot, and Zhao, who had recently been promoted to the head catcher, winked at the two fast catchers, and then rushed into the fast catcher room opposite the county government and shouted at him. …,

After a while, more than a dozen people swarmed out of the class room, all holding wooden sticks and iron rulers, and ran towards Fuxin Lane, Jiadi Fang, north of the city.

In Li's house, Steward Zheng was directing two subordinates to decorate the hall, when he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of the door being knocked on, as if urging his life. He was very angry in his heart, who dared not to be so rude? Who dares to knock on the door of the Li family like this in Xujiang County?

Steward Zheng went to open the door in person, but saw more than a dozen wolf-like servants gathered outside the door, all holding murder weapons, looking excited and eager to try.

The old butler was stunned for a moment, then became furious and scolded: "You are so big! What is this trying to do? "Others may be afraid of this battle, but the Li family is definitely not afraid, and he is even less afraid!

Zhao Zhutou first respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "I heard that your mansion is rising, congratulations!" ”

Without waiting for Steward Zheng to come back to his senses, Zhao Zhutou quickly pushed him aside and shouted, "Go on! ”

It was more than a dozen officials armed with various iron rulers and sticks, and they rushed into Li's house, and smashed the doors, windows, tables and chairs around the Li family's hall.

The old butler wondered, he had vaguely seen this scene. When I was young, there was a person in the family who was lifted and smashed like this, which is called "changing the court", but no one in the Li family was lifted.

Zhao Zhutou was afraid that Steward Zheng would be angry and have some accidents, so he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, old housekeeper! I heard that your family has made a great contribution, and there are rewards for the whole house, and the old lady also has a good grade, and he is not an ordinary family from now on. The imperial court to reward Mr. Li is almost here, so let's take the lead to help your mansion change its court! ”

Steward Zheng laughed when he heard this: "You smashed the wrong place!" This is the mansion of the second young master of my family, and it has long been changed. The lord is just living here temporarily, the main house is still in Xishui Town, and the Li family ancestral hall is also in Xishui Town, so even if there is a reward, it is necessary to go to the old house in Xishui Town to receive it, and the edict must be entered into the ancestral hall to worship. You should go to the old house in Xishui Town to change the door, you are really in the wrong place here! By the way, could it be that you deliberately took the opportunity to smash the second young master's house? ”

This... Smashed in the wrong place? Zhao Zhutou's face stiffened, laughed dryly, patted his chest and said, "Compensation, compensation!" ”

He did not stop doing it, and then led the officials out of the city and headed for Xishui Town. Within half an hour, he rushed to Xishui Town, but when he saw that the door of the target's house was wide open, Zhao Zhutou's heart sank suddenly.

The leader of the Li class of the Zhuang class led more than a dozen strong men, walked out of it triumphantly, and said to Zhao Zhutou: "It's really unfortunate, Brother Zhao is late..."

According to the records of Xishui Town, on the sixth day of December in the eighth year of Jinghe, in order to fight for the affairs of the Li Gong's house, the county government express class and the Zhuang class were armed in the town and seriously injured several people.

It is said that in the back office, Zhang Zhixian was discussing the previous years with Li's father, but was interrupted by the sudden Qin Mission's former leader.

The pioneer official reported concisely: "In order to reward Li You's father and ancestors, Qincha has arrived at Lanzhouyi and will arrive in the county seat tomorrow!" Please set up a case, incense case, color pavilion, and drum music in the house to greet you! ”

Zhang Zhixian is a knowledgeable person, and he was shocked when he heard it. It is very common for high-ranking officials in the court to posthumously seal their parents, which is also a compliment to officials by the imperial court in the way of honoring their ancestors, but Lord Li's qualifications are not enough now? What did he do? Can he chase his father and ancestor with the body of six products?

At this time, due to too many disputes and too long, Li You's edict was published relatively late in the Di Bao and had not yet been sent to Xujiang County, but let the Qincha near the water tower temporarily stationed in Yangzhou arrive first.

Although Father Li's face is habitually calm, his heart is like a boiling soup, which is really incomprehensible, and the worry of gains and losses is fake, and he doesn't know how to express his position for a while.

At this time, I saw Li Zuo being led into the house, "Father, I brought back Xiao Er's letter from Yangzhou. ”…,

Father Li didn't care about scolding Li Zuo for why he didn't return for two months, so he hurriedly took the letter over and read it, and looked up in a daze after reading it.

Zhang Zhixian, who was standing on the side, was very curious, but because he was an official and decent, it was difficult to snatch the letter over, so he could only desperately stretch his neck to peep, but accidentally touched Father Li.

Father Li was still in a daze, and after being touched, he subconsciously handed the letter to Zhang Zhixian.

Zhang Zhixian gasped after a few glances, and he actually chased four generations in a row, from Lord Li's father to Lord Li's ancestor! This kind of honor and grace is rare in the world, and the green smoke from the ancestral tomb can envelop the entire Xujiang County!

After a few more glances, he spit out the cool air just now, the three-grade world position plus the six-grade grace, and a golden book and iron coupon are given, this kind of treatment is only a little worse than being knighted! The hereditary reckless and the country are resting together, and the green smoke from the ancestral tomb can envelop the entire Suzhou Mansion!

When Zhang Zhixian raised his head again, the old gentleman in front of him was no longer a yamen official, but a lord with the title of Zhengliupin. And he is destined to be posthumously presented with three products, just like those ancestors, as long as he is willing to travel west to the ancestral grave. He greeted each other with a flat courtesy and said, "Congratulations to Brother Li!" ”

Hearing the affectionate call of the county magistrate "Brother Li", Father Li, who was in a daze for a long time, turned black in front of his eyes and fainted unconsciously.

Li's father's dream is to hand over the position to his eldest son and spend his old age in peace and die well. When the second son boiled out his qualifications and asked the court for a first-class title engraved on the tombstone, then he could also smile under Jiuquan. But the reality is also a little too bizarre...

What is Zhengliupin? The tombstones of three generations of ancestors must be engraved with three doctors?

In the first half of his life, he was a lowly catcher, and more than ten years ago he became a head catcher, but there was no him in the six types of household registration of scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, soldiers, and stoves, and the government servants could only be ranked with these lowly people.

At that time, the magistrate of the county was a high-ranking existence that he could only look up to. If you don't mention any beating or scolding, you have to kneel down to reply, and if you are not careful, there will be a big board waiting. The big man above the county, he couldn't even imagine.

After decades of grinding, this imprint has been firmly engraved in the mind. However, at this moment, the magistrate saluted him and called Brother Li...

It's only been two or three years... The distorted reality was refracted in, and the spiritual world of Li Bai, the old catcher of Xujiang, suddenly collapsed.
