Looking at the person, this person is no more than seven feet tall, his body is all fat, and the whole person looks like a shiny face. When he saw people smiling, he didn't seem to have a trace of malice, and what surprised Hao Jian the most was that he was holding a delicate little abacus in his hand, which should be made of pure gold.

"But who is outside Qingxi County?"

In the past few days, Hao Jian has been wandering around Qingxi County, and he also has his own understanding of the division in Qingxi County.

This is a big family in Qingxi County, Xiucai was born, made a fortune in business, and the business is doing well, known as the richest man in Qingxi County, the family is big, and even the domineering county Cheng Li Xin does not dare to provoke easily.

"That's right, it's someone, I don't know what to call this gentleman?"

Haha laughed, He Yanzheng patted his big belly and said proudly.

"In Xia Haojian, I play here with my friends."

Hao Jian's external identity is to come to play as a scholar, and to play here in order to spy on more news.

"Hao Jian? Oh, it turned out to be a student who came to play, and I heard Mr. before, and it seems that he has studied Weixue? ”

Hearing Hao Jian's name, He Yanzheng frowned, but he didn't think much about it, and then said to Hao Jian.

In Qingxi County, no one cares about the newly appointed magistrate, after all, the magistrate has not shown up now, and he doesn't know what he is doing. Moreover, Li Xin and others also issued a gag order to the county government to not disclose too much information about Hao Jian, for fear that Hao Jian would gain prestige among the people, and then use the power of the people to destroy them.

So this back and forth, only people know the surname of the new magistrate in Qingxi County, but there are several versions of what it is called, so Hao Jian did not arouse He Yanzheng's suspicion after saying this name.

In addition, although this He Yanzheng is a Xiucai background, he is a lover of weft learning, and likes fortune telling, in other words, this guy is a traditional superstitious worshipper, and his hobby is fortune telling. So just noticing Hao Jian's ability to calculate and see faces here, he didn't care about the weirdness of Hao Jian's name.

"Just a little research."

Hao Jian nodded, made a sit-down cleanup, and invited He Yanzheng to sit down.

Mao Zi naturally had nothing to say about He Yanzheng's joining, so he moved to the side and watched the development of things.

And Li Daozheng is also an understanding person, knowing that Hao Jian invited this person to sit down in Bacheng in order to inquire about Qingxi County, so he also twisted his beard and watched from the side, waiting for Hao Jian's performance.

"Oh, in that case, sir, why don't you show me first?"

As soon as he heard that Hao Jian really had research on weftology, He Yanzheng said eagerly to Hao Jian.

Where will Hao Jian look? Li Daozheng understood that this Hao Jianfang was just joking with his hair, and by the way, he sneered again.

"This, the more the tea is brewed, the lighter it is, and the thinner the fate. I see that the outside looks and this wealth is prosperous, why do I still ask for it? ”

looked at He Yanzheng, this fat man was wearing a brocade robe, either a gold ring or a jade wrench on his hand, and he was playing with a miniature gold abacus in his hand~ How do you look like he is showing off to everyone, Lao Tzu is rich, look at it, Lao Tzu is rich.

So Hao Jian just took a sense of proportion, and soon took the measure of speaking, and said to the fat man.

"It's because of the luck that I'm worried, do you think about what if the luck is gone? Am I going to finish playing? If the family falls in the middle of the road, forget it, but if a family is ruined, it will be terrible......"

Hearing this, He Yanzheng was first overjoyed, and then said with a straight face and a decadent face.

These words made Hao Jian's face change, I'm afraid there is something inside! If the success or failure of the business of ordinary businessmen will not think of what is ruined, but this is different, a mouth is thinking of the ruin, if this guy is hot, he should not be provoked, or he is doing some other actions behind his back, similar to colluding with bandits or something.

On the first day of arriving in Qingxi County, Hao Jian heard someone say that the mountain road to Guanwai was difficult to walk, but the local merchants in Qingxi County were looking for money more and more, as if they had not met bandits. The longer this has been in Qingxi County, the more Hao Jian has heard this.

So he began to have the idea of finding out about the details of these rich families in Qingxi County.

"If you are still worried, why don't I go to the Yuanwai Mansion to have a look at Feng Shui, go through the art of public opinion, and settle your mind for you?"

If you want to know what secrets are hidden behind this He Yanzheng, the best and easiest way is to go to his home and take a look, although you can't see all of them clearly, but it is enough to peek into one or two of them.

"It's good, it's good. It's just that I'm going to go out recently, I'm afraid I can't let my husband go with me, if my husband is not busy, I will rest in Qingxi County for a few days, and in three days you will come to my home with my post, and I will serve tea. Is that good? ”

With a smile on his face, He Yanzheng said to Hao Jian.

"It's also feasible, anyway, I'm going to have a trip in Qingxi County these days, and I can wait for three days."

Nodding, Hao Jian still accepted He Yanzheng's invitation.

"That's fine, then thank you sir, this is my post, you take it, and hand it over to my housekeeper when the time comes."

As he spoke, He Yanzheng took out an invitation letter from his pocket and handed it to Hao Jian.

After taking the invitation letter, Hao Jian looked at it, it was only written with the two big characters of He Fu, but after opening it, there was no content, only He Yanzheng's own four-person seal was printed on it.

"Then, Mr. Hao, I'll leave first."

Seeing that Hao Jian had received the post, He Yanzheng waved his hand at Hao Jian and said.

"Then we'll see you in three days."

Hao Jian nodded, also stood up and waved his hands and said.

He Yanzheng returned the salute, and then settled the tea money, and walked away with the servant.

Seeing He Yan walking away, Li Daozheng smiled slightly: "What? Lord Hao is still thinking about going to this foreign house, where can he go to the outside of the house? ”

Obviously, these words were used to sour Hao Jian, because there was another member who was also harmed by Hao Jian, and that was Li Daozheng's younger brother Li Yuankui.

"Let's go see what I'm talking about."

Hao Jian knew what Li Daozheng secretly wanted to describe, so he threw him a sentence, and he didn't speak.

After seeing He Yuanwai leave, another person also moved, and there was the owner of the teahouse.

The boss is fifty or sixty years old, his hair is basically gray, and his figure is gradually becoming a little rickety, after seeing He Yanzheng leaving, he took the teapot from his daughter's hand, and walked in front of Hao Jian with a smile.

The old man poured hot water very lightly for everyone seated, but this gesture made Mao Zi a little disappointed, although the little lady was a little tough, but she looked lovely, but he couldn't lift his mind when he saw the old man.

The old man didn't care about this, and after pouring hot water, he directly put down the kettle and smiled: "This is the new county magistrate, Lord Hao, right?" ”

Hao Jian nodded strangely when he heard that the old man recognized him: "Oh, where did you know?" ”

These days, Hao Jian has been to many places, and every time he reports his real name, but no one knows his true identity, but he didn't expect that there are still people here who recognize him.

"Hehe, the little old man has seen a lot of the county, so he can naturally recognize it. Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself first, the little old man's surname is Jiang, called Jiang Zhengxing, that is the youngest daughter Jiang Rong. ”

Saying that, Jiang Zhengxing bowed to Hao Jian and the others, introduced himself, and casually introduced the little lady.

"How much has the county seen? How many counties have you seen? ”

Jiang Zhengxing's self-introduction, Hao Jian was not curious, but he was curious about Jiang Zhengxing's first half of the sentence.

"Let's be honest, I have seen all the four predecessors of Lord Hao, including Xu Xinzhou, who has been in office for the longest time, Lord Xu, Master Ma, Master Jiang and Master Hu last year, I have also seen them all, and Xiao Lao'er was also fortunate to chat with them a few words."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhengxing was quite proud.

Hao Jian also heard about these three predecessors when he first came, Master Ma was drowned in the water while inspecting the river embankment, Master Jiang died violently, and Master Hu was killed by mountain bandits. It can be said that the death of each of these three adults is full of doubts. Coupled with the huge net of corruption woven by the county Cheng behind his back, people have to wonder about the cause of their death.

But after a few days of investigation, Hao Jian found a little more, because the county Cheng Li Xin has only been in office for two years, and his rise is entirely because of the violent deaths of three adults one after another last year, which made him stronger, and even once Li Xin was still a trustworthy and good official.

It can be said that Li Xin's corruption was caused entirely by the expansion of power.

So why did these adults die violently one after another?

"Xu Xinzhou? How did this adult die? ”

Hao Jian said to Jiang Zhengxing.

"This, this Lord Xu Xinzhou is not dead, but he disappeared suddenly, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead, but there are rumors that he was captured by bandits, but there are no real clues......"

Speaking of Xu Xinzhou, Jiang Zhengxing was also puzzled, and he didn't know the situation of that adult.

"Missing?"

Hao Jian frowned, in this way, in the past two years, Qingxi County has lost a total of four counties, tsk, this is really a cannibalistic business.
