Chapter 14 The first time I saw the county

With the wisdom and wisdom of the post guard, of course he would not believe Xiao Fan's nonsense.

However, Xiao Fan finally entered the official post smoothly.

There is a language in this world that is very simple and effective, and that is silver.

When Xiao Fan held back his heartache, his face twitched and he took out five coins of broken silver and stuffed it into the hand of the post man, the old face of the post man suddenly became as gentle and bright as a spring breeze.

In contrast, Xiao Fan's expression was much more bitter.

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials the most, and those who are greedy for sixty taels of silver have to peel off their skins and show them to the public, such a powerful crackdown still can't stop the wind of greed in the court, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption work has really achieved little results.

――I wonder if the five coins can be reimbursed by Chen Siliu? This should be considered as a cost of hospitality, right? In the previous life, many invoices were written as "office supplies", isn't that what happened?

Money can make ghosts grind, let alone let ghosts show the way.

After the post man received the money, the service attitude became much more enthusiastic, and he enthusiastically told Xiao Fan that Cao Xiancheng lived in the left wing of the official post, because he was in a hurry, his family was still on the road, and he had no time to buy a house, so he could only live in the official post temporarily, and he had very little luggage, and only brought an old servant who served him all the year round.

Xiao Fan listened to the post boy Luo Li talk a lot, and he had a little impression of this county lord who had not yet met.

Soon Xiao Fan came to the second courtyard of the official post, and Cao Xiancheng's wing room was on the left side of the courtyard.

It's noon, and Cao Xiancheng is eating in the courtyard outside the wing.

Xiao Fan stood still from a distance and looked carefully at the newcomer.

I saw him wearing a casual clothes, burly, full of beard, carrying a small wine jar in his vigorous and powerful hands, raising his head from time to time to pour a few sips of wine, and then wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeves at will, and then raising chopsticks to take a bite of food, his cold and hard face showed a comfortable expression.

His eyes were as black as stars, and he narrowed slightly when he drank, and then suddenly opened, and from a distance, he looked like a fierce tiger in the mountains and forests entrenched at the table, majestic, but restrained.

Beside him stood an old man with a slightly hunched back, who stood silently with his hands hanging down without moving, and his demeanor was as respectful as an old but loyal dog.

Although he stood far away, Xiao Fan could still feel a killing aura emanating from Cao Xiancheng's body, and the rust-like smell of corrosion made Xiao Fan feel a little uncomfortable. I heard that this Cao Xiancheng used to be a hundred generals under the command of King Yan, and he followed King Yan to collect the remnants of the Yuan, and made a lot of meritorious contributions.

After settling down, Xiao Fan took a deep breath, then straightened his waist, walked to Cao Xiancheng's table, and then looked at Cao Xiancheng without saying a word.

As soon as Xiao Fan approached, the old servant standing beside Cao Xiancheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot out of his eyes, Xiao Fan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and that feeling was like being targeted by a hungry wolf.

This master and servant is not simple!

Xiao Fanqiang held back the fear in his heart, tried his best to control his expression, and pretended to be very calm.

Until Xiao Fan walked to the table, Cao Xiancheng was still drinking with his head down, as if he hadn't seen him at all, the courtyard was quiet, and only the sound of Cao Xiancheng gurgling and drinking was heard.

Xiao Fan had no choice but to touch his nose and smile bitterly, and then stood quietly at the table, hanging his hands and saying nothing. The old servant looked at him a few times, then closed his eyes again, and looked at him no more.

I don't know how long he stood before Cao Xiancheng raised his eyes to look at him, raised his two thick black eyebrows, and said in a voice like an urn bell: "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Fan arched his hand and said: "Xiao Fan, a grass man, has seen the second master." ”

The so-called "two masters" is the folk name for the county, a county, the county is the boss, the people call it "the big master", the county is the eighth product, is the second place in the county, so called the "second master".

Cao Xiancheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You have a meritorious reputation? ”

Xiao Fan was stunned, then shook his head.

Cao Xiancheng snorted coldly: "If you have no merit, then you are Bai Ding, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" ”

If the Ming Dynasty does not have the fame of Xiucai, it is the identity of Bai Ding, and he has to kneel when he sees an official, even if this official is only a Bapin County Cheng.

However, Xiao Fan doesn't have this habit, he has received modern education, except for the Heaven and Earth Monarch, there is nothing worthy of him kneeling.

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "The grass people really don't want to kneel, if the adults think that the grass people are guilty, don't give an order to put the grass people in prison, the grass people heard that it is better to take care of food in the prison than to starve to death outside." ”

Cao Xiancheng's big eyes suddenly burst out of essence, and the faint killing aura suddenly became thick, and his sharp gaze was like a sharp steel knife, scraping around Xiao Fan's body, making Xiao Fan's heart tremble.

Xiao Fan suddenly wavered a little, this is ancient times, the people's surnames are as cheap as mustard, and those who are officials will kill them when they say they will kill them, do you think there will be reporters and media to help you avenge your grievances? Don't dream, he kills himself like a dog.

Well, kneel and kneel, whoever calls himself an unprincipled person, he must know how to be flexible in everything.

Just when Xiao Fan couldn't hold back and was about to kneel, Cao Xiancheng, who had been looking at him for a long time, suddenly laughed: "Damn! I didn't expect that there would be such a bold character in this small Jiangpu County, and Lao Tzu would be a civil official of this bird, and it would not be considered a little taste until now......"

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his waist. - Luckily! This county man is a bold faction, if he encounters a graceful faction today, this kneeling will definitely be inevitable.

After laughing, Cao Xiancheng suddenly lowered his face and said, "You said that you were going to starve to death outside, what do you mean by that?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "If the Chen family falls, the grass people have nowhere to go, won't they starve to death outside?" ”

Cao Xiancheng's eyes burst into a cold light, and he said coldly: "Are you from the Chen family?" ”

Xiao Fan touched his nose: "It's half of the Chen family......"

Cao Xiancheng sneered: "You came to intercede for the Chen family?" Hum! How much silver did Chen Siliu bring to the official this time? Five thousand taels? Or ten thousand taels? ”

Xiao Fan looked at Cao Xiancheng's expression, and his heart sank, it seems that this time Cao Xiancheng is determined to clean up the Chen family, and it doesn't matter how much silver he sends.

Xiao Fan shook his head and sighed: "I've disappointed my lord, I only have ten taels of silver on me......"

Cao Xiancheng's eyes widened: "Ten taels? ”

Xiao Fan subconsciously covered the money bag on his waist and said: "And these ten taels of silver are all the savings of the grass people, and the grass people still count on it to lay eggs, eggs and chickens, ** eggs and eggs are endless, and it depends on it to get rich, to be honest, the grass people don't plan to give it to you......"

Cao Xiancheng's face became more and more heavy: "Are you playing this official?" ”

"How dare the grass people ......"

Cao Xiancheng's eyes narrowed: "Chen Siliu sent you out with ten taels of silver to plead with the official?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head in fear, when it came to this, there was no hope of pleading, if he really opened this mouth, I was afraid that this ruffian-born Cao Xiancheng would cut himself with a knife.

But...... I have to find a topic, otherwise why did I run into this official post for no reason? If the matter is not settled, won't the five coins given to the post man at the door be given in vain? Chen Siliu'er will not reimburse himself......

Xiao Fan looked at it for a moment, then stared at the wine jar on the stone table, immediately blessed his heart, and then smiled: "When the grass people see the adult, they don't necessarily come to intercede, maybe...... I just want to have a drink with the adults......"

Xiao Fan faintly felt that maybe this topic could satisfy Cao Xiancheng, how can he be bold without wine? Dongfang Undefeated in the movie is very atmospheric and has drunk with Ling Hu Chong, this Cao Xiancheng is definitely stronger than Dongfang Undefeated.

Cao Xian froze, and even the old servant beside him suddenly opened his eyes, and the two of them stared at Xiao Fan like this, speechless for a long time.

Xiao Fan saw that Cao Xiancheng didn't react, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this wine is too expensive, and adults can't bear it?" ”

Cao Xiancheng's eyes flickered, and he finally laughed out loud: "Good, good, good!" ”

said three good words in a row, and then Cao Xiancheng stared at Xiao Fan and said: "Your kid's temper towards Lao Tzu, if you don't invite you to drink this wine today, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu will not have the face to be an official in Jiangpu County in the future, haha, yes, you have courage!" ”

After speaking, Cao Xiancheng twisted his head and said to the old servant: "If he wants to drink, let's invite him to drink!" ”

The old servant bowed his head respectfully in response, turned and went into the chamber, and then took out two large bowls.

"Bang!"

The sea bowl slammed heavily on the stone table.

Xiao Fan's face changed, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Xiao Fan looked at Cao Xiancheng with a bit of begging for mercy. He didn't expect the extravagant faction to be so arrogant......

“…… Can I change the glass to a smaller one? Xiao Fan smiled cautiously at Cao County, and buckled his index finger and thumb into a small circle with a weak heart, and gestured pitifully towards Cao County: "The grass people think the cup of two coins is very good......

Cao Xiancheng snorted, then glanced at him with disdain, and said in a rough voice: "The cup of two coins? That's used by eggless eunuchs, is it a gentleman? Use this! ”

Xiao Fan looked at the two large bowls on the stone table with straight eyes, which were enough to hold two catties of wine, and had the urge to run away.

Of course, the Chen family wants to be protected, but the premise is ...... I have to protect my own life!

If Cao Xiancheng didn't laugh at him, Xiao Fan wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

There can be many ways to communicate between people, climbing relatives, pulling relationships, and even slapping horses, as long as the goal can be achieved, there is no shame in using any method.

Xiao Fan found out that he had done a stupid thing, and he chose the stupidest method - to fight with a general from the army.

The eyes of the masses are bright, could it be that he is really a madman?

Xiao Fan doubted himself for the first time......
