Section 36 The master and the master are suspicious
The county magistrate breached the law and let go of the rich man's henchmen and criminals, so he naturally went to the rich man. Why did the county magistrate not hesitate to know the law and break the law, regardless of the consequences?
This has to start with the two county magistrates.
The predecessor of the current county magistrate died in office for no reason, and he fell off a cliff and died. The current county magistrate is suspicious of this matter, a person who has just entered middle age, has been promoted for less than half a year, according to common sense, he should be proud, how can he fall off the cliff, and no one knows, you are not surprised?
The current county magistrate thought, isn't this a great opportunity to show your talents? Be sure to find out. So, the county magistrate had free time, so he took the catcher and the boy to the cliff to check.
The news spread and soon reached the ears of the rich man. One day, the rich man brought the housekeeper to the county government to visit the county magistrate, and included some words of praise for thanking his parents and officials for protecting the territory and the people.
The county magistrate brought the rich man into the secret room and asked in a whisper: "Who is the rich man's surname, but few people even know his real name?" ”
"It's all about money, and it's also about the love of the old folks." The rich man replied proudly, and asked the housekeeper to offer a generous gift, "Prepare a little courtesy, talk about your heart, and please smile!" ”
The county lord was very happy, he opened the brocade box in front of the rich man, took out a gold bar, bit it with his teeth, he changed to another end, bit it hard, and his teeth hurt, he crooked his mouth, and only said after a while: "I don't care if I lose one or two teeth, how precious this thing is!" ”
The rich man said: "Thank you for not giving up, and the grass people say goodbye!" ”
"Don't go, don't be in a hurry!" The county magistrate recruited the rich man to come closely, "There is nothing to repay in this county, what will happen in the future, as long as you say hello, you will definitely live up to expectations." But you have to think about the county at all times! ”
The rich man warmly shook the hand of the county lord and waved his hand to leave. Got into a special carriage. He said to the butler, "Money! Taking the opportunity to occupy the beauty hole, the opportunity is rare! ”
The housekeeper seemed to be a vigorous and resolute person, and he flattered his master and said: "I just received a generous gift, so as not to be slack, let alone turn my face, and tomorrow I will hand over the appeal petition and take the hole in my hand." ”
It is said that after the county lord received a generous gift, after the rich man left, he called the master into the secret room and asked for advice: "Take a look." How can this be? ”
The master opened the brocade box, which was full of boxes, and was startled: "It's broken, such a generous gift, there must be illegal requirements!" ”
The county master went to the door of the secret room to check again, he stood facing the door for a moment, he thought, take the opportunity to try the master's person, and he has made up his mind. Turning around and facing the master mysteriously, he pointed at each other with his right hand and said, "Is it divided or handed over?" I don't know the depth of the water in this county, and I listen to your words! ”
After observing for a while, the master said, "Don't hand it in for the time being, keep it in this county." Seal the general, get up and talk about it! ”
The county magistrate thought that the master was a stable and cunning person, and he was good at responding to changes with no change, so he nodded in agreement.
Sure enough, it was noon the next day. The housekeeper of the rich man brought sumptuous food to visit the county lord and handed over the appeal by the way. The county magistrate was very satisfied, and he locked the complaint into the case. Let people put out the food, and ignore the master, and eat with relish. But after eating for a while, he sighed regretfully: "Wouldn't it be better if there were a few glasses of good wine!" ”
The housekeeper rarely had this kind of mouthful, he was still dripping saliva when he stood aside, and when he heard the county master say this, he said: "With good wine, this will be served." I thought that the grandfather didn't drink at noon, wasn't he afraid that the grandfather would make a mistake after drinking? ”
"How do you talk, really!" The master was also feasting, his eyes glared at the housekeeper of the rich man, and he angrily reprimanded, "How dare you insult the county master for being a wine bag and rice bag?" Outrageous! ”
The county master feels that this master is not ordinary cunning, no wonder, several county masters have arrived, and he can be as stable as Mount Tai! The county master sighed in his heart, he shook his master's glance, this person is either cunning and cunning, or ruthless, or honest and priceless.
The housekeeper saw that the county master was the kind of person the master said, he waved his hand and shouted, "Carry it in, let the master enjoy it slowly!" ”
The county magistrate smiled from ear to ear, he burped, held his stomach, walked over slowly, touched the big wine jar, and clanked.
The housekeeper smiled happily, presumably everything was fine, he stepped forward and pointed to a slightly smaller wine jar and said, "This is for the master, I hope the master will smile and help in the future!" ”
"Ah, as long as the rich master does something, he doesn't need the county's help!" The county master was witty, and took the opportunity to say, "Give it all to the master, it seems that the master is more reassuring than this county!" ”
Of course, the master can hear that the county master is not making a big deal of jealousy, but killing many birds with one stone, the first is to examine my way of doing things, the second is to investigate whether I use my power for personal gain, and the third is to investigate whether there is a broken thread between me and the rich man. So, the master said: "The ones sent are all the master's, and I am the master's housekeeper, of course I will collect it for the master." ”
When the steward saw that it was so smooth, he dared to ask, "When will you listen to the please?" ”
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The master replied with a smile, "It's not a good thing, let the master plan it!" ”
The county master is not comfortable, but it feels like sitting on pins and needles, and the biggest doubt in his heart is, of course, the master, if the master is not authentic, it is a fatal thing. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to wait.
One day, the head catcher came to report: "It is said that a group of dogs of the rich man's family have bitten the people of the neighboring village all over the body, and the rich man's family shirks their responsibilities, saying that the dog never bites, and that the person must have provoked his dog, and asked the man to apologize to the dog!" ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he laughed so much that tears were about to fall, and he said lightly: "How can this be true!" ”
The master is good at observing words and feelings, and likes to listen to voices and distinguish feelings, but this master is not yin, yang, tepid, what does it mean, his face is expressionless, and he is quite thoughtful.
The county master waved his hand to let the catcher go out quickly, and said to the master: "I am going home today to save my relatives, and this matter is fully entrusted to the master, you will work hard and be tired!" ”
When the master was doubting, the county master's attendant came to ask the master, saying that the sedan chair was waiting outside the door, the county master nodded to the master, stood up, tidied up his clothes, pulled his legs and got on the sedan chair and left.
At dusk in the afternoon, the county master hurried back, and the master was waiting at the door. After greeting each other, the master seemed to have something to say, and the county master raised his hand to stop him: "Trivial matters, needless to say, I'm a little tired, let's discuss it tomorrow!" ”
The master swallowed back the words in his throat, smiling on the surface, but he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't tell what kind of person the county master was, whether it was rainy or sunny, he was distressed!
The master saw that the county master was so behaving, and he was helpless, he walked around the street a few times, there were many acquaintances, and he always felt awkward between greetings, that kind of smile, it seemed that there were many variables, ridicule, ridicule, distrust, how could there be no sincerity!
The master was tormented, he touched his pocket, walked into a tavern on the side of the street, sat by the window facing the street, asked for a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, poured a wine glass, removed the peanut clothes, twisted it into two petals, fed it into his mouth, put the wine glass to his lips, and dipped his lips, bitter, the taste in the same heart.
What was even more bitter was the whispered conversation and loud laughter of the drinkers, as if they were talking about the dog bite of the rich man's family, and seemed to be laughing at the people who dealt with the matter. What made the master feel even more guilty was that after the acquaintances among the drinkers greeted him, they instead belittled the county master for being too immoral, too unreasonable, and too unreasonable, and let the county master carry the black pot for himself.
Although some drinkers don't know the master, they still vaguely talk about wealth fans in the whispers of avoiding people. (To be continued......)
