Chapter 03: The Bear General

In the backyard of the torture hall is a row of houses with five bays, and the two officials, Hua Dalang and Jiang Xiaobai, each live in half, because the governor and the terruma official are locals, but they don't live here. The main house in the middle had a wooden wall in the middle of the house, and the family was half of it, and they could hear each other farting next door.

An earthen wall was also built in the middle of the courtyard, so that it became two separate courtyards. The courtyard wall is not high, only to the waist of adults, and the children of the two families climb the wall and ride the wall every day, rubbing a crescent-shaped gap in the middle of the earthen wall, and the adults in the lowest place can step over as long as they lift their thighs.

At this time, Ji Dian experienced Hua Dalang kneeling upright in the courtyard, with a washboard under his knees. The washboard is put along the line according to the pattern, which is the experience summed up by the flower after a long time of kneeling on the washboard, so it is lighter than the pain of putting it horizontally. Hua Dalang was punished by his wife today because he secretly touched the family's money.

Hua Dalang is an eight-rank official, since he is an official, he must have a frame to be an official outside, a man, he can lose his heart, and he can't lose face, so although he only relies on Yulu, he has no other financial resources, and he has to raise a maid and a little servant Ding Pozi.

Although in order to save money, he hired people according to the conditions of diligence and cleverness, and good looks, in fact, he hired two families, the men of these two families were the housekeepers, the women were the mothers-in-law, the daughters were the maids, and the sons were the maids, but after all, it was also a lot of expenses, so he lived a very poor life as an official.

This morning, the lady wanted to get some money to pull a piece of cloth for her daughter to make a new dress, and found that she was less consistent, and under the pressure, he stole it and lost all the money, so Hua Dalang was punished and knelt.

The door of the courtyard next door creaked, and Hua Dalang was taken aback, for fear that Jiang Shi would find out his embarrassment. With an idea, he quickly bent down. Jiang Cheng tiptoed into the courtyard, and saw Hua Dalang lying on the ground from the gap in the wall, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Hua, what are you doing?" ”

Hua Dalang raised his head and said to Jiang Shi: "Ah, Brother Jiang is early." Ay! The dog was stubborn, stole his mother's jewelry to play with, and accidentally dropped a pearl on the crested hairpin, and I searched for it in the yard. Hey, look for ......."

"Oh......"

Jiang experienced seeing Hua Dalang's embarrassment and knew what was wrong, so he teased: "It turned out to be the beads on the hairpin, which is a little smaller, no wonder Brother Hua wants to lie on the ground to find it." For Brother Hua's impatience, the younger brother really admires the five-body throw! Haha, Brother Hua, you continue to throw yourself to the ground, and the younger brother will not be accompanied......"

Jiang Shi flicked his sleeves and happily returned to the house. Hua Shi was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he looked down at his body, the washboard was obviously covered by a robe, how could he still be seen through by Jiang Shi. It's really infuriating.

At this time, I heard a woman's roar, and I was so frightened that Hua Shi quickly knelt down, and suddenly felt that the voice did not seem to come from my mother-in-law. Hurriedly stretched his neck to look into the courtyard next door, and saw Jiang Cheng rushing out of the room with his head in his arms, and the Jiang family lady followed closely with a broom.

Jiang experienced running laps in the yard. The lady of the Jiang family chased and beat from behind, shouting and scolding while chasing and beating, listening to her scolding words, it turned out that Jiang experienced that he didn't return last night, saying that he was invited to eat and drink by a friend, but when he came back just now, his wife found a kiss mark on his neck at a glance.

Hua experienced kneeling there gloating, at this time his wife heard the noise in the yard next door, opened the door to listen, heard the Jiang family lady scolding her husband to go out to find a fan, and then looked at his man kneeling straight in the courtyard, and suddenly felt that the occasional small gamble was not a big deal.

The flower lady was hesitating to ask her husband to get up and go back to the room for breakfast, when the courtyard door "creaked" open, and a green-shirted showman walked in with a lively spirit shaking a small fan, followed by a handsome young man, a rough man with a full beard.

The people who came were Li Qiuchi, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi. Li Qiuchi came to urge the officials and officials living in the compound of the criminal hall to clean up the front yard. The torture hall has become a farmhouse compound of chickens, dogs, and mulberry hemp, and there is no majesty and decency of the yamen at all, how can this be done?

Master Ye was going to use these two days of free time to visit the scenery of Tongren, Jinjiang, Dongshan Temple, and Fanjing Mountain, so Li Qiuchi took the initiative to ask Ying and came to supervise the cleaning of the torture hall.

Ye Xiaotian took Duo Ni and Yao Yao to Dongshan Temple early in the morning, planning to go down the mountain to visit Li Jiaoyu and ask Li Jiaoyu to help him find a learned old Confucian for Yao Yao to be Mr. Xixi. To Ye Xiaotian's surprise, Doni actually asked to study with Mr. Xixi.

As Ye Xiaotian's official position became bigger and bigger, and the operation and maintenance of the official's mansion became more and more complicated, Duo Ni finally felt that he couldn't count, couldn't read, didn't have any knowledge, and couldn't run such a big family at all, and couldn't worry about Ye Xiaotian.

There are too many rules and regulations in the official eunuch's house, even when Ye Xiaotian is just a small canonical history, the leader of the rules is much more cumbersome than her father who is in charge of thousands of people, compared with such a real secular official, a tribal chief like her father is just a shabby village chief.

Of course, Ye Xiaotian is happy to let Dorni learn a little more, at least don't make a fuss about going to the street to buy things and only know how to barter, once converted into silver, she doesn't know how expensive or cheap, or she buys something and pays for silver, and she doesn't know how much change people should ask her for.

Li Qiuchi was so happy that Ye Xiaotian let go like this, and asked Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi for help early in the morning, planning to completely transform the torture hall, but he didn't want to witness the wonderful scene of the roar of the lion in Hedong and the roar of the tiger in Hexi as soon as he arrived at the courtyard of the torture hall.

Li Qiuchi took a look at the experience of kneeling in the courtyard, and then looked at the Jiang experience who was still running in circles in the courtyard next door, and suddenly felt that in fact, the torture hall was not in a hurry to clean up, and the most important thing at the moment was to cheer up the frustrated officials in the torture hall, otherwise no matter how bright the yamen was, it would be useless, and there was really a long way to go!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian took Dou Ni and Yao Yao to visit Dongshan Temple earlier, ate a meal at Dongshan Temple at noon, visited Li Jiaoyu in the afternoon, and then went to visit Jinjiang, and returned to the mansion in the evening.

Not long after he returned, Li Qiuchi also came back with Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi. As soon as Mao Wenzhi saw Ye Xiaotian, he told Ye Xiaotian about the wonderful scene he saw this morning, Ye Xiaotian didn't feel as funny as him, after listening to Mao Wenzhi's words, Ye Xiaotian just sighed long.

In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong. In other places, the yamen of the torture hall should be hot, but in Tongren Mansion, it is an ornament. He traveled everywhere this day, and took the opportunity to understand the local folk customs, and felt that it was difficult to make some achievements in the promotion of officials.

However, now that he is a seventh-rank official, he is only one step away from his goal, can he give up like this? However, he can only keep these thoughts in his heart, and let Li Qiuchi do things, this is the benefit of having a master, if Li Qiuchi can really break out of the situation, it would be the best, if not, at least he would come forward to clean up the mess.

At the moment, Ye Xiaotian should not make a big show and come forward directly. This is the consequence of his collapse of all his colleagues in Huxian, the lonely minister has to be useful in the emperor's heart, there is no emperor who can support him in this far away place, and being a lonely minister here is to isolate himself from the "people".

He already felt that Zhang Fatzi was not as enthusiastic about him as before, and a subordinate official who could give Zhang Fatzi a long face and a subordinate official who was not welcomed by most of his subordinate bureaucrats, Zhang Fatzi's attitude would naturally change.

Ye Xiaotian has been in office for a few days, and so far, except for Li Shishi, who had been on a business trip to Tixi Division, he has been in contact with him, and no official of Tongren Mansion has tried to contact him and get close, which is too unreasonable.

When he was in Huxian, whether it was him, Xu Boyi, Bai Hong, or Zhao Wenyuan, when he took office, there were people who were close to him, whether he had the right or not, once he accepted it, he could strengthen his momentum, but he was ignored, who would be stingy with a meal of wine?

In fact, this is a very dangerous sign. If the new official can't burn three fires when he takes office, it will be difficult for him to burn them again in the future, but if he burns it now, it is likely to set himself on fire, so he can only hand over the matter to Li Qiuchi to toss.

On the third day, Ye Xiaotian was officially promoted. When I came to the torture hall early in the morning, I saw that the courtyard was clean, and the place where the green onions were originally planted moved a ring stone from nowhere, this ring stone should be newly carved by Li Qiuchi to find someone, "Erfeng Erlu, the people are fat and the people are creamy, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully" The big characters are still as red as blood.

Ye Xiaotian personally promised to keep the bean shelf is also clean, this is Li Qiuchi ordered someone to pull it out, according to his words, the yamen should have the appearance of a yamen, if you don't know the dignity yourself, who will respect you?

Ye Tuiguan wore a new official robe, and after boarding the lobby to sit on the case, he had the experience of counting the classics, the criminal name, the prison, the capital, the grinding, the capital, the secretary, the menzi, the Kuaishou, and the soap ....... Li Qiuchi stood on the right side of Ye Xiaotian's case with a folding fan, Su Xuntian lowered his hand and stood on the left side of Ye Xiaotian's case, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi also followed, standing behind Ye Xiaotian's seat.

Ye Xiaotian asked the two of them to follow him in the yamen first, and when he turned around, he wanted to arrange the two of them into the torture hall to catch fast, and it would be more convenient to use his own people, besides, these two brothers were about to get married, so they couldn't always follow him as a long-term follower.

Everyone lined up the government and saw the new officials one by one, Ye Xiaotian thought that they would be the same as when he first saw Hua Qingfeng in Huxian County, shouting that Tang Wei was weak, the officials were listless, and the officials and colleagues were lazy and lazy, but they didn't want to be full of officials and subordinates who were in good spirits, Tang Wei shouted earth-shattering, and Xu officials stood straight.

Especially the left and right experiences that Ye Xiaotian secretly paid attention to, he actually looked solemn and solemn, especially the eyes of the two of them, staring at Ye Xiaotian too eagerly, just like an old man who had been a bachelor for fifty years suddenly saw a big girl with a bare ass standing in front of him, and Ye Xiaotian was very tight.

Ye Xiaotian looked at Li Qiuchi who was standing on the right side of the case with a smile in surprise, an idle yamen who had been idle for many years or even had not opened a government office to act as an official for many years, the officials and subordinates actually had such momentum, it must have been Li Qiuchi who had worked hard.

Ye Xiaotian was very curious, he didn't know what kind of ecstasy Li Qiuchi had poured into these people, it actually had such an effect, what a talent!
