Chapter 31: Friend or Foe
Ye Xiaotian strode to the signing room of the county, and listened to the sound of the piano in the room, playing a song "Yangguan Three Stacks", the song is not bad, the song is tactful, the aftersound is beautiful, the two officials at the door know Ai Dianshi, and when they see Ye Xiaotian, they all know that this is the Ye Dianshi who has the same appearance as Ai Dianshi, and hurriedly saluted him, and his face inevitably showed a strange aura.
Ye Xiaotian didn't squint, he went straight into the hall, and saw that there were only two small servants waiting in the hall, as soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian come in, the sound of the piano stopped at once, Xu Boyi stopped his hands, put them on the strings slightly, and said with a smile: "Ye Dianshi has already reported for duty?" ”
Ye Xiaotian stood upright and asked loudly, "The history room...... Or are the officials and officials in the three classes and six rooms all the county officials transferred? ”
Xu Boyi said lightly: "Not bad! As the saying goes, officials are as slippery as oil, and they are full of bullying. Why? After they have lived together for a long time and are familiar with each other, they can collude with each other, disregard the laws of the country, and seek their own selfish interests. The official staggered them to let them have a supervision over each other, and if they are not familiar with each other, it will be difficult to collude together, if someone does something illegal, it will be easier to be exposed, does Ye Dianshi think there is anything wrong? ”
Xu Boyi said, his eyes glanced at Ye Xiaotian, slightly provocative, and there was a big "You have the ability to beat me!" "The cheapness. Beat? When Ye Xiaotian is not playing donkey, how can it be so easy to be dominated by others, he laughed lightly, and smiled brightly: "I see! There's nothing wrong with it, since it's the arrangement of the county lord, the lower officials will follow it! ”
Ye Xiaotian arched his hand to him, turned around and left, Xu Boyi saw him coming violently, and the flag died down, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, but so, he couldn't help but be secretly proud. Raise your eyebrows slightly, pluck the strings, and continue playing.
Ye Xiaotian walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "Lord County, the lower official has a reluctant request, I don't know if to say it." ”
Xu Boyi saw that he was suddenly polite, and said happily: "Why should Ye Dianshi be polite, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Can Lord County Cheng not touch the piano in front of the lower officials in the future?" ”
Xu Boyi said strangely: "Why is this? ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Ye had a playmate when he was a child, and the relationship between them was very good. It's a pity that a few years ago he was on the streets. was kicked to death by a crazy horse, and Ye was sad for a long time. Nowadays, when you hear you play the piano, you can't help but think of him. ”
Xu Boyi sighed lightly, stroked his beard and said, "That friend of yours must be good at piano skills?" ”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said sadly: "No! He played cotton. ”
"Poof!"
The two little servants only laughed half a way, and then quickly closed their mouths, their faces swollen red, and the faces of the two officials at the door were also distorted.
Xu Boyi was so angry that his face darkened. Seeing Ye Xiaotian coming and going with his eyes high, he angrily picked up the strings and made a "tense" sound. The strings are broken, and it sounds like playing cotton.
Ye Xiaotian returned to the courtyard where his signature room was located, and went to the household department to take a look, and sure enough, it was not true. Li Yuncong, the household clerk, and several other people who had been close to him in the past were also transferred, and Li Yuncong was transferred to be the ambassador of the warehouse.
Ye Xiaotian was angry in his heart and returned to his signing room. The officials were chattering together, and when they saw Ye Xiaotian going and returning, they hurriedly dispersed, each looking for some work, but they didn't know what they were busy with.
Ye Xiaotian has been here for half a year, so he naturally knows which public case is the canonical history, he strode over, sat down behind the public case, looked around at the officials in the signing room, and asked loudly: "In this courtyard, all the people in this courtyard have just been changed today?" ”
Everyone listened to his unkind tone, and couldn't help but be silent, and the scrivener in charge was about to hesitate to agree, when a person suddenly stood at the door, and replied loudly: "And me!" ”
Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up, he looked up urgently, and looked at it clearly, but he saw a tiger general, wearing a helmet and armor, standing in front of the door, with a white beard and chest, holding a dragon tooth war bow in his left hand, and holding a long knife as red as blood in his right hand, majestic and vigorous, just like the old Huang Zhong of the five tiger generals......
Ye Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, shook his head, shook his fantasies, and said indifferently: "I know, you can step back first!" ”
"Yes! My lord! ”
The old man who swept the floor dragged up the broom, carried the basket, and bowed down.
Seeing Ye Xiaotian, Lao Lu Tou was very excited, in this courtyard, only this old Lu Tou now knows that today's Ye Dian history is the Ai Dian history of the day. As Li Yuncong's chess friend, after Ye Xiaotian left Huxian, Li Yuncong couldn't hold back and once revealed this secret to him.
Ye Xiaotian propped his hands on the case, rubbed his eyebrows, and felt a hint of depression: "But all the people who have been close to me have been transferred away by Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi, and among these newcomers, I don't know who is Hua Qingfeng's henchman, and who is Xu Boyi's inner room......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the evening, Huazhi County received the wind for Ye Dianshi and Zhao Yicheng in the living room of the second hall of the county government. Almost all the leading figures in the county came, such as Xu Boyi, the county secretary, Wang Ning, the county school teacher, Gu Qingge, the instructor, Huang Xuan, the inspector, Luo Xiaoye, the inspector, and Chen Muyan, the tax ambassador.
Luo Xiaoye was very friendly to Ye Xiaotian, and it was Ye Xiaotian's identity that reminded him of his reason in the past and not to get too close to Ye Xiaotian. And today, Ye Xiaotian has changed and become a real classic history of Huxian, and this scruple does not exist. It's just that on this occasion, the two of them are inconvenient to say anything, they just look at each other and smile, and they don't say anything.
Ye Xiaotian's heart warmed, although he had just arrived in Huxian, he secretly confronted the people who sat in the first and second positions in the county, and the old departments that could be used were also transferred, but at least this Luo Inspector, who held soldiers and horses and had a transcendent status, would not stand on his opposite side.
Ye Xiaotian looked around in a blink of an eye, and saw Gu Qingge and Huang Xuan again, the two had just greeted him, and they were already seated behind the seat. Because Xu Boyi studied in the county school, he had a teacher-student friendship with them, and he was a courtesy.
Now that Xu Boyi's official position is above them, the two gentlemen don't dare to sit down and accept the salute, so they hurriedly get up and return the salute, but their expressions are very cold. Ye Xiaotian saw it in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: "These two old masters are obviously extremely shameful to Xu Boyi's behavior of attaching himself to the powerful and abandoning his wife. You should also exert your strength to pull them over. Although it is said that Xiucai has not rebelled for three years, I am not asking them to rebel, the pen in the hands of the literati is used well, but it can kill people without blood. ”
Ye Xiaotian sat down slowly, and saw that the master of the king opposite was raising a cup of tea, he should have lifted his eyelids just now to observe Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian looked at it, and obviously felt that his eyes had just fallen.
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself: "Although this old fox is the third-in-command of Huxian. But the status is stable. The power of civil affairs has always been firmly in his hands, and although he is not obvious, he has more cities than Meng Qingwei. I can't guard against this old fox, but when dealing with Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi, I can join forces. ”
Ye Xiaotian had a faint smile on his face, his eyes swept slightly on the faces of the many guests who were talking and laughing, and the enemy barrier had gradually drawn a clear outline in his heart.
Hua Qingfeng delivered a speech and welcomed the arrival of Ye Xiaotian and Zhao Wenyuan. The two then stood up and thanked each other, and as soon as the banquet began, the cups were staggered. The atmosphere gradually relaxed and lively.
Ye Xiaotian's right-hand position sat Chen Muyan, the tax ambassador, the two had known each other for a long time, and they had just let Huazhi County introduce them to him. Ye Xiaotian poured a glass of wine for Chen Muyan, and Chen Muyan, who was talking and laughing with Huang Xundao opposite, hurriedly held the cup with his hand. Thank you.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said slightly: "Ambassador Chen, can this year's tax be repaid?" ”
Ye Xiaotian just asked casually to get closer to him. Who knew that when she asked about Chen Muyan's sore spot, Chen Muyan frowned, sighed and said, "It's difficult!" It's hard! This year is especially difficult! It hasn't rained for a month and a half, and you come from Guiyang, haven't you seen the river in the east of the city? Originally, it was more than two feet deep, but now you can cross the river by rolling up your trouser legs.
This is also because our county is located in the low depression of the canyon, and those people in the mountains on both sides are all terraced fields on the mountains, and the terraced fields depend on the sky to eat. The tax collectors of this official did not dare to go to the countryside at all, and they were not allowed to let the red-eyed people beat them to death. ”
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he saw the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly lost his appetite. He opened his mouth and asked, "The county didn't think of a way?" ”
Chen Muyan sighed and said, "Think of a way? How to figure it out? We are not thunder god rain masters, we can call the wind and call the rain. Gaojiazhai built a dragon king temple, and he was in a hurry to hug the Buddha's feet, and it was not bright. Don't say it, Li Jiazhai really invited a Taoist priest with a lot of money, and the county also took some money to let him worship the heavens......"
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "You can only hope for these Jianghu warlocks?" Did they succeed? ”
Chen Muyan said: "Hi! If it can't be done, at least it can appease the people. The people believe this, and seeing that our county yamen has also helped, at least they will not come to us for trouble. What else? Who has a way but to ask God? ”
At this moment, there was a noise at the door of the living room, and someone said loudly: "Su Weimen, the county lord is feasting, you can't just go in!" ”
"you. Damn it! ”
"Ouch!"
A person suddenly crashed into the door, took a few steps back, and slammed into a wine table near the hall door, and with a "stunned" sound, the cups and dishes fell to the ground, and several officials who were caught off guard hurriedly jumped up, shaking the dishes and drinks on the placket of their clothes.
A man wearing a long-sleeved robe with a green cloth with a crossed collar, a red belt around his waist, and a winged soap hat on his head stepped in and scolded: "It's all fucking on fire, you tell me about the feast!" ”
When the servant at the door fell in, Hua Qingfeng stood up in anger, and when he saw this person, he couldn't help but shout: "You bastard, what are you crazy about!" ”
When Ye Xiaotian saw this person, he couldn't help but smile, it was Su Xuntian.
