Beauty Valley Town is not a county government office, it needs to be said that it is not prosperous enough, and it is not famous, but it does not affect it to become an eventful place and a piece of the heart of the imperial court.

About twenty or thirty years ago, there were a series of strange things in the county, and within three months of the county order's performance, they either returned to the west or disappeared for no reason, or they were sick and incurable and left their posts.

For a time, there were many rumors in the imperial court about this, and the emperor was so annoyed that he ordered the Qin to send a visit without a satisfactory result. What's even more outrageous is that the emperor sent a deputy eunuch chief to inspect, and the conclusion reported was even rarer, it was actually a superstitious rumor circulating in the Beauty Valley, because several county commanders were not murderous enough to commit suicide.

The emperor couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, what nonsense! The emperor thought about it, can't he always search for Zhong Kui-like characters in the world according to absurd rumors, and be promoted to a high-level official, except for the position of county commander? Doesn't this make the world laugh off their big teeth, and the shame of the court is too ridiculous and too child's play!

After thinking about it, the emperor decided to choose a candidate who could be shocked! So I thought of my uncle in his early twenties, although this person is an elder brother, he is quite capable of doing things, and he has a good kung fu, at least he will not take other people's ways lightly.

How could the uncle and brother leave their parents and brothers, and how could they leave the capital temporarily, so he pleaded with the emperor and said: "Long live my emperor, my brother never causes trouble, never offends the emperor's authority, and has never done illegal deeds. ”

At the beginning, the emperor also patiently explained that the elder brother should fight for the country, contribute to the court, and establish meritorious services for the royal family.

How can Uncle and Brother listen! Always pestering the emperor, the emperor was troubled, and pointed to the uncle and brother who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and scolded: "It's black, it's just not pleasing to the eye, what's it?" If you go, you have to go to work, and if you don't go, you have to go to work. Jingshi can't tolerate you! ”

As everyone knows, as soon as the emperor's golden mouth opens, he dare not delve into it. Uncle and brother are very dissatisfied, the emperor took advantage of the situation to bully others, and used the situation to suppress me, what is the reason for being black?

However, the chief eunuch has followed the emperor for many years, and he dare not say that it is a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, at least it can be said that he can figure out the reasons for the emperor's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and it can really reach the point of eight or nine inseparable from ten.

The chief eunuch is exquisite. He may have heard of the Beauty Valley, heard the rumors of the Beauty Valley, and quietly said to his uncle and brother: "The emperor cherishes Yu Ru, and directly asks Er to be the county order, how many people can't ask for it!" ”

Uncle was tired of hearing this similar statement, and when he was about to refuse, the chief eunuch said mysteriously: "The emperor said that you are black, and specially arranged for you to go to the Valley of Beauty." Beautify and beautify, and soon he will be a beautiful man, with a long royal face, and declare the emperor's authority with beauty. Wouldn't it be great to be reused! ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, and the uncle and brother actually went to the palace to apologize to the emperor. said that he misread the emperor's sincerity, and did not understand the emperor's affection, and finally under the ignition of the chief eunuch. understood the emperor's good intentions and promised to go to the post immediately.

The emperor was pleased, and immediately wrote a secret edict, allowing the local garrison to be called in in case of crisis; It has the right to cut down the local black sheep and those who are extremely angry with the people.

On the day of the arrival of the younger uncle and elder brother, the elder brother concealed his special identity and performed his duties as an ordinary court official. But a tricky case on the desk is there, and it is also the first case that all county orders will encounter.

The master is still the master of the past, and when the uncle and brother took advantage of the master to wash the dust for it, he quietly asked, dare to ask the master, your county order is unfortunate, why can you protect yourself and live so nourishingly?

The master is really cunning enough, he replied not salty and indifferent, the court officials have heavy responsibilities, great pressure, huge power, and many sufferings, and the master is just a parasite on the tree, a small reptile in the pond, and a follower of the official, easy to mess around, carefree, eat well and sleep soundly, and live a long life naturally!

After some of these words are finished, how can Uncle and Brother not hear it? He admires that a person like his master can be called a teacher, and thinks that it is okay to say this perfunctory, and it is okay to think that this statement is full of heavenly opportunities.

Uncle Brother, is he a person who has never seen the world like an ordinary county magistrate? He was not in a hurry to start with the case itself, but to see clearly the parties to the case, and to conduct overt and covert investigations based on the strength of the parties.

Sure enough, the rich man walked into the sight of the uncle and brother. Because the rich man of the land is rich and powerful, he does things his own way, and he does not need to be sneaky and secretive, and many things are lice on the bald head, which is clear at a glance.

On the seventh night of his uncle's arrival, he invited his master into the room to drink tea and talk secretly, and asked him: "Master is the original elder of this county, so he must be quite familiar with the affairs of this county?" ”

The master smiled and nodded in agreement through the arrogance of a bit of culture.

Uncle Brother asked, will every county magistrate face this case?

The master was still smiling, and nodded in agreement through the arrogance of a bit of culture.

The parties to this case have never changed, so is that right? Uncle Brother asked.

The master smiled and nodded through the arrogance of a bit of culture.

Uncle and Brother asked again: "Master, are you afraid of this rich man?" ”

"Why am I afraid of him?" The master replied as if aggrieved, "Since I have nothing to do with him, and I don't go along with it, how can I be afraid of him, what can he do to me?" ”

The uncle's expression was calm, but he was happy in his heart, he was confident that he could finally pry the master's stable seat, and learned that the master often stayed out of things, not to walk to the water's edge without getting his shoes wet, but not to walk to the water's edge at all. So, Uncle Brother had an idea, grabbed the master's hand, and begged: "Master, there is a reluctant request from this county, are you willing to listen?" ”

The master was not moved, but said coldly: "I would like to smell one or two." ”

"Although the master is not an official of the imperial court, he also enjoys the court's Fenglu, and in the eyes of the people, he is also a parent official, has the master ever heard of this?" Uncle and Brother asked.

"Reasonable!" Master replied simply.

"In this case, the master should be the best person to visit the rich man." Uncle Brother's tone was soothing, but the meaning was affirmative, and he said sincerely, "It's none other than you, I hope don't refuse!" ”

The master is indeed ice and snow smart, and the uncle and brother first talk about the treatment, then the responsibility, and finally the task. No matter what kind of person the master is, there is no escape, and there is no escape.

From the villain's point of view, it is like installing equipment when hunting, first putting the lured food, so that you see it and your heart itches, and you can't resist it; And then it is to open up a channel to lure food, leading you to approach step by step, whether it is careful, greedy, in short, the heart has a belonging, the charm is endless, and it is unbearable not to go forward; Finally, it is a matter of course, willing to take risks, strive for self-preservation, and strive to win in danger.

From the perspective of a righteous man and a gentleman, whether it is a sense of responsibility, dedication, care between colleagues, or efforts to cooperate for the benefit of the people, these aspects have infinite temptation, are great encouragement and spur, are glorious duties and glorious missions that should be fulfilled, and can be proud.

The master thought for a long time, and captured the expectation and hope in the eyes of the uncle and brother, and also captured the sincere request, the master nodded heavily: "The matter is not complicated, the rich man of the land relies on his wealth to try to occupy the Beauty Valley and monopolize the Beauty Creek, in order to seek greater family interests, it can be said that he has tried his best and exhausted the means!" ”

"Exhausted?" Uncle and Brother asked repeatedly, "What the master is referring to is the misfortune of several county commanders?" ”

"Although this is a bit subjective and arbitrary, there may be a day when the truth will come out!" The master declared, "This is a lie, there is no basis, it is just a conjecture, and it is not enough to be believed!" (To be continued......)
