Ye Xiaotian was busy until the fourth watch in the morning, and then dragged his tired body back to his home, a festival that was originally prosperous, and it was really unexpected for such a thing to happen, but with the folk customs of Hu County, so many people gathered together, and it was reasonable for something to happen.

Doni and Yao Yao were still waiting for him in the flower hall, because they had waited too long, Yao Yao had already curled up and fallen asleep on the Arhat bed in the flower hall, and Doni was covered with a thin jacket on her body, Doni was dozing off on the table, and when she heard Ye Xiaotian's movement, she opened her eyes.

"Brother Xiaotian, you're just back! Go lie down and rest for a while. ”

Ye Xiaotian yawned and smiled wryly at her: "I'm really tired, no wonder the imperial court has always forbidden people to gather, so many people gather together, it's really okay to make an accident, fortunately, no one was hurt, and the situation is not very strict." Doni, you don't have to wait for me, look, there's Yaoyao, you guys......"

Doni wanted to hug Yaoyao and get up, but Ye Xiaotian stopped her: "Forget it, she slept soundly, just sleep here, and wake up again after a toss." ”

Doni said: "Cheng, then I will stay here with her." ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded, washed up under Doni's waiting, and returned to the room to sleep. On weekdays, the time to open the government is actually not too early, but this is the first time after the New Year, and all the officials and officials have to go to the office, so they can't help but get up early.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, although Ye Xiaotian was sleeping soundly, his family still had to wake him up, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly got up and washed, dressed properly, took the guards down the mountain, and hurried to the county office.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian arrived, the officials and officials separated a road, Ye Xiaotian went up to the lobby, and saw a few seats on the left and right, Luo Xunjian, Bai Zhushu, Zhang Dianshi and others were sitting there drinking tea, and when they saw Ye Xiaotian arrive. They put down their teacups and got up.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly bowed his hand to the hall and apologized: "Lord County, colleagues, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ye is late." ”

Hua Qingfeng stood up after the case and said with a smile: "It's okay, last night's incident, the official has already heard about it, Ye Xiancheng has worked hard, and he is willing to be late, there was chaos on the streets last night." Nothing serious, right? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Somehow last night, the people suddenly clashed, and a Lantern Festival was disturbed. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Division and the arresters arrived in time, and there was no major disorder, and some people were slightly injured, so they were sent to the nearest hospital for treatment. ”

Hua Qingfeng said happily: "That's fine, it's a festive festival, don't cause trouble." ”

Then all the officials of the department lined up to pay homage, and Hua Qingfeng inevitably said words of encouragement. After the ceremony, everyone retreated, Hua Qingfeng left Bai Zhushu and Ye Xiaotian alone, and invited the two to sit in the second hall. Straight to the point: "Now that the rest is over, it's time to make some plans for the county's government affairs arrangements this year." After the New Year, the first important event was the relief money allocated by the imperial court. In previous years, our county has received the least amount of allocation in this area. But it can barely cope with it, but last year, due to the change of customs, many people's money and food were exempted. This debt will have to be cashed off this year, so if the allocation is too small, there may be problems. ”

Hua Qingfeng took a sip of tea, smiled, and said: "This county has been re-elected here for two consecutive terms, and when this term expires, it will have to be transferred out nine times out of ten. ”

Hua Qingfeng said a joke, then turned to Ye Xiaotian and said: "This matter should have been taken care of by Master Bai, but Master Bai came to our county to perform his duties for the first time, and he was not familiar with all kinds of affairs, so he was worried that he would go on a business trip, so he proposed to the county, and Lord Ye went to Tongren and his party to fight for relief for our county, I don't know what Lord Ye thinks?" ”

Bai Hong immediately set his eager eyes on Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian had already been angry with Bai Hong before, and this matter had a lot to do with Li Yuncong, he must maintain it, so he bowed and said: "The lower officials don't dare to guarantee the success of the horse, live up to the trust of the county, and do their best." ”

Hua Qingfeng smiled happily: "That's good!" Lord Ye, you have a teacher-student friendship with the prefect of Tongren Zhang, it is more convenient than me to speak in front of the prefect, this matter is related to the interests of the people of Huxian County, and I hope that Lord Ye will go all out! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian had already communicated with Bai Zhushu before, and he knew better that Huazhi County had always shirked and feared the character, as long as someone was willing to take it, he had no inaccurate reason, he had already made preparations, Huazhi County nodded, and Ye Xiaotian immediately handed over the affairs to Zhang Dianshi.

He also knew that if he arrived one day earlier, he would have a better chance of fighting for relief, so he didn't dare to delay, and returned to the mansion after the handover, and went straight to Tongren Mansion with the six guards who had already been prepared.

Hua Zhixian sent Ye Xiaotian and Bai Zhushu away, sat quietly in the second hall for a while, and after eating a cup of tea, he got up and returned to the third hall. In fact, the third hall is already half of the back house, only receiving very private guests, usually he is acting in the second hall for official business, and it is very rare to turn back to the third hall at this hour.

But when he arrived at the third hall, he turned into his little study, where there were already people waiting. The man was dressed in a green robe, around thirty years old, and his face was not bad, he was sipping tea slowly, and when he saw Hua Qingfeng coming in, he got up and said, "My lord." ”

"Sit down."

Hua Qingfeng walked over, sat down behind the desk, and sighed involuntarily. Ye Xiaotian had never been arrogant in front of him, but for some reason, when he faced Ye Xiaotian, he always had a strong psychological pressure, and he felt relieved when he sat down at this time, and his legs were slightly weak, as if he was on the cliff and looked down at the abyssal valley.

The green-robed man smiled and said, "Ye Xiaotian agreed to go to Tongren?" ”

Hua Qingfeng nodded and said, "He agreed!" ”

The green-robed man happily clapped his hands and said, "Very good, as long as he leaves, we can let it go." ”

Hua Qingfeng said worriedly: "Success or failure is here, and Ye Xiaotian has a lot of eyes and ears in Huxian County, so he must be careful." ”

The green-robed man said disdainfully: "His so-called eyes and ears are just a group of local chickens and dogs who are not on the stage, why be afraid." Besides, what you are doing is a dignified and upright means, not a conspiracy that cannot see the sun, and when he finds out, there is no way to resolve it. ”

When the green-robed man said this, he smiled slightly and said, "Besides, if you say that Ye Xiaotian has broken the post road, no one will be dissatisfied?" It's inconvenient for some people to say anything now, but once Ye Xiaotian falls, someone will definitely fall into the well, and when the time comes, ......"

Hua Qingfeng finally had a smile on her face. The man in the green robe said with a straight face: "At that time, the merits of Huxian County will all belong to you, my lord, you have merit and hard work, and if you do a little more operation, you can't be promoted to a level, and you should change to a first-class county to continue to be a hundred miles supreme." Adults are born in Jinshi, but this remote county, located in the wilderness, education is not prosperous, it is not easy to play the adult what you have learned, if you change to the Central Plains and the Central Plains where the Chinese culture gathers, the adult will be able to show his ambitions, the adult is in the prime of life, at least thirty or forty years of eunuch to go, and it is not impossible to be a minister of the town in the future. ”

Hua Qingfeng also smiled, and said happily: "If this matter is successful, Hua will live up to Mr. Qiuchi, may you and I achieve the first guest and host!" ”

The green-robed man stood up solemnly and arched his hand: "May Feng Dong Weng be the right and left hand!" ”

This green-robed man turned out to be Li Qiuchi, a well-known lawyer who was invited to Huxian County by Meng Qingwei and returned before he could make a move. Hearing this, the two of them turned out to be Wang Ba looking at the mung bean, and when they looked at each other, Li Qiuchi planned to help Hua Qingfeng bring down Ye Xiaotian as a meeting gift and become Hua Qingfeng's staff.

This is not a way out for Li Qiuchi, who has no hope for his career. After being a lawyer for so many years, he has earned enough money, but his status is not high. Advocates really have no status in this era, "if there are no such people in the world, there is no need to set up official yamen", this is the mainstream society's view of lawyers.

In the eyes of the scholars, the lawyers are all people who play right and wrong, and profit from it, if it is in the Central Plains, Li Qiuchi's life is even more difficult, and in the Guizhou area, in fact, who is reasonable and who is not reasonable, it is more to see whose fist is big, and it is not relying on the law to control zhì.

During Li Qiuchi's maneuvering, he used the original defendant's various social connections and connections more than relying on the law to win the lawsuit, which really consumed a lot of brains. Now that he has made enough money, what he wants is status.

This staff member is what later generations called the master, but now it is not called this title, but is called the shogunate friend or the shogunate, and they handle the affairs of the criminal name, money valley, document and other affairs for the officials, not that the official is better than the official, but the shadow of the official who hired him as the shogunate.

The curtain friend said that it was the adjutant to rule, and it was very important that the acting official was governed, especially with Hua Qingfeng's character, once Li Qiuchi was hired by Hua Qingfeng as a curtain friend, it would inevitably be a situation of acting official rule in the end, and how high the position he could assist Hua Qingfeng climbed, how much power he could hold. He is naturally willing to be used by Hua Qingfeng.

The first time Li Qiuchi fought with Ye Xiaotian, it was for the sake of money, and the second time he fought with Ye Xiaotian, it was purely a battle of will, in order to be unconvinced. And this time, it was for his own good future, so he naturally went all out.

Qian Qingqing got up early in the morning and freshened up and dressed up. She usually has a plain clear soup and noodles, and she doesn't like to smear it, but she expected that since Ye Xiaotian had understood her mind last night, she would definitely find a reason to get close to her today, and she was just waiting to lure him into taking the bait. She is still beautiful without makeup, and at this time, she paints her eyebrows and eyes and thinly dyes her lips, which is actually delicate.

Who would have thought that this Ye Xiaotian would not come to the left and right, so Qian Qingqing was bored. As the saying goes, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing", he is young and his heart is not stable, how can he live according to it? With his current status, if he doesn't go to the yamen for a day and a half, no one must be looking for him, right?

Qian Qingqing couldn't hold it back, so he left his residence and went to find Doni to talk, knocking on the side of the chat, Ye Xiaotian had already gone to Tongren, Qian Qingqing couldn't help but be stunned: What is the situation, could it be that Lord Ye wants to play the trick of "stealing is better than stealing"?
