Xu Liang patted his chest in public in the county government and said a big thing, but when he returned to the main book, he was worried. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, and in order to form a patrol battalion, it is necessary to raise enough food and salary first, and only when there is money will there be soldiers, horses, weapons and equipment. But the current problem is that although he is the head of a county, he has nothing at his disposal except for the pitiful taels of silver he receives every month. Although Liang Ji soappaste made some money, it was Xu Liang's own family's private money, and Xu Liang would not be stupid enough to use his own money to support his family.

Money, where can I get money?

Hu Xiaoyong entered the main bookstore lightly, saw that the boss was thinking about things in a daze with his chin on his lean, walked to the table, and whispered: "Adult, adult? ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang looked up and saw that it was Hu Xiaoyong, and his face showed a cordial look, saying that since Xu Liang taught Hu Xiaoyong a lesson that time, he sent a backfire in public, and after expelling the little man who was informant from the fast hunting team in person, Hu Xiaoyong's attitude towards himself became more and more respectful.

"You asked the lowly to find out the origin of those robbers, the lowly is a little eyebrow-raising here."

"Tell me about it!" When Xu Liang heard this, he came to his senses.

Hu Xiaoyong stepped forward and said: "These days, I have arranged for my brothers to visit the towns where the accident occurred, and I heard that someone was recruiting people in the town, and our people mixed in with the people who were called, and ran back to report that on a small island on the edge of Poyang Lake, there was another group of water bandits, and the number of them was as many as hundreds. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Liang was shocked, "Then our people can find out the details of that group?" ”

"Found some." Hu Xiaoyong said: "That group of people seems to be a little different from the previous Shui Kou, they call themselves what kind of wolf gang they are, and the gang leader seems to be called Huang Heren, oops, I can't remember my humble position for a while." ”

Huang Ziren?! Xu Liang's hand shook and asked urgently, "What did the wolf gang leader look like that day?" ”

Hu Xiaoyong shook his head and said, "The humble position is not clear, our people came back before they saw the Huang gang leader." My lord, should we report it to the higher authorities and ask the court to send officers and soldiers down to clean it up? ”

Xu Liang shook his head and said: "It's just a small gang of one hundred and eight people, if it alarms the court army for this little thing, wouldn't it be a joke." In this way, Xiao Yong, you send a few more people to mix with the people of the wolf, pay close attention to their movements, and you tell the people sent that after the matter is completed, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”

Just kidding, if the wolf gang was really done by Huang Ziren that day, then he recruited the court army, wouldn't Brother Ziren be ashes immediately? Xu Liang said secretly, alas, it is rare that Huang Ziren has such ability, he wants to do a career, as a brother, he can help if he can.

"Okay!" Hu Xiaoyong responded, and suddenly said with a smiling face: "My lord, I heard that you are forming a patrol battalion?" ”

Xu Liang looked at him, waiting for his next step.

Hu Xiaoyong smiled more and more flatteringly, pointed to the tip of his nose, and said: "My lord, you see, the humble post has been with you for some days, and the humble duty has always been loyal to the adult, and the humble duty thinks, when the patrol camp is built, the humble post will go to the camp." ”

Xu Liang was surprised: "What's the matter, you don't want to be a good headcatcher?" ”

Hu Xiaoyong accompanied him and said with a smile: "I would prefer to go to the patrol camp." ”

Xu Liang thought that Hu Xiaoyong was also serious about doing things for a while, and he was also respectful to himself, so he nodded and said: "Okay, when the patrol camp is up, this official will appoint you as a sentry officer." ”

The Ming barracks are slightly different from the guards, five people are in the team, the second is the team, the third is the team, the third team is the sentry, the five posts are the total, and the five are the battalion. The sentry officer is in charge of a sentry, and there are three captains and nine chiefs under him, and he can also manage more than a hundred people. When Hu Xiaoyong heard this, he immediately smiled, and thanked him a thousand times.

Xu Liang saw that he looked very happy, and couldn't help but sigh and hit him: "Don't be too happy, I don't know where the food and salary for this camp are at the moment, and the county government doesn't have a penny, and I don't know when this patrol camp will be built." ”

Hu Xiaoyong's face collapsed when he heard this, and he walked out with his head hanging down with a sad face.

After a while, Xu Liang looked at Hu Xiaoyong, who was still depressed just now, in surprise, and he rushed in happily again.

"My lord," Hu Xiaoyong said with a dance in his hands, "I just thought of a way to get money." ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang smiled: "What can you do, let's hear it." ”

Hu Xiaoyong smiled strangely, and leaned into Xu Liang's ear to say such and this, Xu Liang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he slapped Hu Xiaoyong's shoulder fiercely, and praised: "It is worthy of being a county to catch heads, and you can think of such a damaging method." ”

Hu Xiaoyong smiled, "My lord, whether it is damaged or not, it will work." ”

Xu Liang laughed, sat down and wrote a notice that the county government wanted to count the backlog of cases over the years, dried the ink stains, handed it to Hu Xiaoyong and said, "You take it to Jiang Dianshi and send it out earlier." ”

Hu Xiaoyong held the notice and went out happily. After a cup of tea, he came back indignantly with the proclamation in his hand.

"My lord, this notice has sent Jiang Dianshi back."

"How?" Xu Liang was angry, "He also turned against him!" Xu Liang was about to rush out to find Jiang Zhunan when he received the notice, Hu Xiaoyong grabbed him and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have asked about my humble position, Jiang Dianshi said that it was Lu Xiancheng's order, and in the future, your official documents must be signed and agreed by Lu Xiancheng." ”

"Huh?" Xu Liang listened, and paused. The face is cloudy.

Lu Chengyuan: What does this mean? Xu Liang thought about it and felt that now was not the time to turn his face with Lu Chengyuan, so he smiled at the moment, sat back at the table, and tore the notice into pieces. said to Hu Xiaoyong: "If they don't let the announcement be issued, then the official won't issue it, Xiaoyong." ”

"Humble duty!"

"From tomorrow, you will go to the door one by one according to the list I have written, and ask those people related to the backlog of cases to wait for me to come to the main bookkeeper, and the official will talk to these good people."

"Huh!"

The first person to be invited to the door was Boss Li, who opened a restaurant on Ximen Street.

"Boss Li," Xu Liang sat behind the main bookkeeper's desk, turning over the stack of case files in his hand with a loud noise.

"The grass people are here." Boss Li was shocked when he heard this, and responded carefully.

"You've been running a restaurant on Ximen Street for some years, right?"

"If you go back to adulthood, Caomin has been taking over the restaurant from my father's generation, and it has been seven or eight years."

"Oh," Xu Liang nodded, thoughtfully, and said quietly: "Although this official has not been in Jianchang County for a long time, he also knows that Boss Li, you have always been a businessman who does your duty, abides by discipline and law, and is a great good citizen. ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is aware of everything," Boss Li wiped his sweat, hunched his waist and said with a smile: "The ancestors of the grass people have been good people for three generations, and the grass people run this restaurant, and they are also honest. ”

"Hmm!" Xu Liang nodded in agreement, closed the case file with a snap, and said, "Boss Li's character has long been heard of by this official. This, recently the county government decided to clean up a number of backlog cases over the years, just now the official flipped through it, it seems that there is a case file that says, on March 24, the third year of the Apocalypse, a diner suddenly foamed at the mouth after eating your meal, fell to the ground and died, Boss Li still remembers this? ”

Boss Li was so frightened that he fell to his knees and called out to hit the sky, "My lord is clear, then, the person who eats is so thin that he has only a skeleton left, his face is colorless, and he came in with the wall when he entered my restaurant." How did the grass man know that he died so suddenly after eating my meal? ”

Boss Li knelt on the ground and banged his head, "My lord, you want to be the master of the grass people, the county lord also sent someone to inspect the food, and the grass people are not poisonous in this dish." ”

"Hey, hey, Boss Li, what are you doing here?" Xu Liang stepped forward unexpectedly and helped Boss Li up, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "This official naturally believes in Boss Li." It's just that Boss Li's case has not been closed back then, and the county is urged to clean up the old backlog of cases, Boss Li, the official has no other meaning, and the official is also responsible, today I just asked Boss Li to come over to understand the situation first, and after two days, the Japanese official will still go to your restaurant in person to check the scene, well, the identity of the deceased may be checked later, what happened back then, alas, in short, you still have to bother Boss Li more. ”

Boss Li was dumbfounded, this case of the third year of the Apocalypse is now the end of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and the master of the main book still wants to go to the scene to see it? What to see? See if the food in the restaurant is to taste? See if the money in the restaurant is in vain?

Boss Li was not stupid, he pulled Xu Liang's sleeve and begged: "My lord is clear, no one can say anything about the past, this, the grass people are wronged." ”

"Alas," Xu Liang said embarrassedly: "This official also feels that this matter is very tricky, you see that this matter has passed for so many years, and it is not clear who is who is it for a long time." Or, this official will explain the truth to Boss Li in front of the county and close the case earlier? ”

"Ah, then, thank you, thank you, your lord!" Boss Li didn't expect this master to say this, and immediately thanked him again and again.

"Eh, Boss Li, don't be busy thanking you first." Xu Liang said embarrassedly: "Recently, our county is preparing to set up a patrol battalion, alas, I don't know where the silver taels for this preparation are." He glanced at the stunned Boss Li, and continued faintly: "This official thinks, if Boss Li can donate some money generously, then it will be much more convenient for this official to speak for Boss Li in front of the county honor." ”

When Boss Li heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of the master bookkeeper going around in such a big circle, and his flesh hurt for a while, but he thought that he could close the case earlier, so he was ruthless, and raised his eyes and said: "That's right, it should be," he gritted his teeth, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, counted five, carefully put them in front of Xu Liang, and said: "My lord, the grass people will donate fifty taels of silver, you see, is it successful?" ”

Xu Liang checked it, glanced at the pile of silver tickets in Boss Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Alas, Boss Li, it is said that this donation of silver is all voluntary, but the official thinks, the more you donate, the heavier the weight of the official when he speaks for you." ”

Boss Li's face twitched when he heard this, and he pulled out five more with a painful face, put them on the table, and looked at Xu Liang with a blank eye.

Xu Liang put it in his arms, turned his face and smiled, took out a note from the drawer, handed Boss Li a pen, and said with a smile: "Boss Li really has a heart." Come, please sign your name and quantity on this donation slip. ”

When Boss Li saw it, his nose was almost crooked, and he dared to feel that the master book was collecting money today, and even the donation slip was ready, so he left a blank space for people to sign the name of the donor and the amount of money donated!

After Boss Li gritted his teeth and left, Chen Yuanwai came in, and after Chen Yuanwai left with a sad face, Landlord Huang was called in again.

For a few days in a row, the wealthy businessmen and landlords in Jianchang City who had a little background outside the city, as long as they had left a little case record in the county government, were called by Xu Liang to talk about it.

In the next two days, the two families directly sent someone to send a hundred taels of silver tickets, and wrote their names and quantities on the donation list.

There's no way, these two families are too knowledgeable about current affairs, and they directly stuff money, and even the topic is saved, it's too convenient! Xu Liang sighed!
