Now the Zhizhou is named Sun Xiao, and he has been an official in Dengzhou Mansion for almost ten years, and the former Zhizhou Xu Wen was transferred to the richer Linjiang Mansion because of his tough backstage relationship, Sun Xiao thought that he could survive for a few years to a good place, but he didn't expect to be in Dengzhou for more than nine years, and he can be regarded as a moderate faction among local officials.

However, sometimes it is too stable, not up or down, not high, not low, and it is really uncomfortable to hang in this kind of crotch position. Looking at the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it is really rare to stay in one place for so long like Sun Xiao.

It is said that Sun Xiao's life should be comfortable, Sun Xiao has been here for so long, he is the highest official in the local area, and the foundation is generally deep, then he should have become the local emperor, even if he is a big Qing official, his life is definitely very comfortable. As the saying goes, in three years, the Qing prefect has 100,000 snowflakes of silver, so it is not so important whether he is transferred or not, but in fact this is not the case.

First of all, the relatives of the local squires and bullies, the king and grandson of the emperor, died and came back to life, and they were finally defeated or survived until those people were old and died. The three legs are the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, the chief officer of the Bei Japanese Army, and he, the prefect of Dengzhou.

As the saying goes, it is unreasonable to meet a soldier when Xiucai encounters it, and if the two feet are reasonable and abide by the law, it will be fine, but when they meet two officials who are very hard and arrogant and unreasonable in the background, they are arrogant and domineering, not to mention lawlessness. They have plagued the people, and the people have come to complain. Sun Xiao guarded the people, and naturally responded, bought gifts behind his back, and went to persuade him with good words and smiles. begging people to do things softly, in order to maintain the little prestige they have left among the people, where can they dare to have a trace of accountability, otherwise they will not even be able to save their own lives.

Liu Zhengang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the reserve army from Shanxi, was relatively "reasonable", and he knew that Sun Xiao was embarrassed, so those who dared to come to sue were all killed. This is also because Sun Xiao gives a lot of gifts on weekdays, so Liu Zhengang pressed it. Otherwise, the last time there was the following Zhixian was angry, but the time when he stepped forward and was beaten on the head, Sun Xiao, the Zhizhou, also had to be beaten, so Sun Xiao was afraid and respectful of Liu Zhengang. Don't dare to complain.

To tell the truth, Sun Xiao is not a clean official, nor is he a good official, it stands to reason that such officials should eat fat waist and body fat, and brain and intestines fat. But Sun Xiaofei has not only been an official, but he has been thinner and thinner year by year in the past few years. The hair is gray and the cheeks are sunken, all because he was bullied too hard.

Finally, Sun Xiao's spring came, Liu Zhengang fell, and Qi Jingtong, who was good-looking, was in power, and it happened that the Dengzhou Wei commander who was replaced at the same time at this time was also a person who was content with the status quo, and the three of them lived in harmony. However, Sun Xiao knew that Qi Jingtong was a clean official, and he was a virtuous official, so he naturally didn't dare to mess around. I am afraid that Qi Jingtong will be like Liu Zhengang in anger and play violent. Hang yourself up and beat up, then you can't run away from this beating.

Later, after Qi Jingtong was transferred out because of Lu Bing, Sun Xiao began to show the teeth of the beast.

Sun Xiao's seven aunts and eight aunts came to defect, Sun Xiao recognized a righteous son without a child, and there was also a nephew and a nephew, and other relatives could say, that is, to eat an overlord meal or something, but these three people are different, and they are all business that has lost their conscience.

The descendants of the three little characters of Sun Xiao's family were full of bad water, and his righteous son Sun Rong opened a casino, a brothel, and some small pawn shops, which directly became an industrial chain. Welcome to gamble money, it doesn't matter if you lose the bet, lend you money, put the money to collect usury, and it doesn't matter if you don't have money to pay it back when the time comes, there is a mortgage on the ancestral house at home, and there are pawns for things, all of which are opened by Sun Rong. It doesn't matter if you don't have anything, there are women in the family, if there are women, you can pay off the debt, the daughter and daughter-in-law are not afraid to refuse, the high and low grades in the brothel are all separated, if there is no or he is too old and ugly, he also has a way, just put it directly to Sun Xiao's nephew.

Sun Xiao's nephew's name is Sun Kang, and he looks like a ruthless character, in short, he has angry eyebrows. He opened a brick factory masonry shed, and did some manual maintenance on weekdays, which is said to be a gadget that can't make a lot of money, and it is also a regular business, but people have made a fortune by virtue of Sun Xiao's status.

First of all, the workers here don't have to spend money, most of them are gambling debts, and they beat and scolded them at every turn for not being fed on weekdays, and they died when they died, and they didn't care about it at all. This free hard work saved more than half of the expenses, and secondly, Sun Kang walked on the street, and asked whoever he saw to come to him to repair things, or let people build houses, not to use clay embryos, only to use their big green bricks. If you don't repair it, you can't do it, you are forced to come, and you have to repair the new one.

At the end of the day, looking at it, the whole Dengzhou is actually some good-looking houses, but it also benefits from Sun Kang's "credit". Even so, that's it, but Sun Kang's bricks and tiles are all cut corners, a little wind and rain will be broken, it will be bad, it will rain lightly outside and it will rain moderately in the house, and it will rain heavily in the house if it rains outside, in short, it can't be used.

What should I do if this happens? Don't be afraid, Uncle Sun Kang will come to you, "only" a few taels of silver can get a small worker to repair, you have to say that this brick and tile was bought from your family, the worker is also sent by your family, just a few days after the repair is broken, naturally your family is responsible, he will reward you with a few big mouths, and then tell you that you can guarantee that none of the bricks and tiles bought from other houses are broken? As long as it doesn't break into powder, it's not their business, or you ate last year, can you guarantee that you won't eat this year, and so on, in short, it's not reasonable to talk about people.

If only this is the luck, it is considered that God does not open his eyes, I did not expect that Sun Kang as long as there is no work in the workshop, he will take his subordinates out of the ruffian to wander around, and when he sees someone's house is slightly damaged, he picks up a sledgehammer and smashes it, and then sighs that this building is seriously damaged, and tells the owner that he must go to Sun Kang's workshop to pay for repairs within a few days.

Sun Xiao's nephew is called Xu Yang, he controls the fishermen on the beach, and he does everything he can to collect money, and sets up countless inexplicable taxes in order to collect money. Even the family had to suffer, and the young women were sold to Sun Rong's kiln, and the men and old women went to Sun Kang's workshop.

Many fishermen were forced to helpless. I can't go back to my home, so I live directly on the boat. But this sea is different from the lake, and the fishermen do not want to go back and suffer their sins, even if they live on the sea, they have to endure strong winds and waves every day, and if they are not careful, they will capsize. Once you go back, you have to be at the mercy of Xu Yang, and if you don't obey, you won't be able to live. Death has become a kind of relief, and there is a taste in this world called life is better than death.

It is conceivable that these three people bully men and women so much. Naturally, there was a group of thugs and the like, and in Dengzhou Mansion, they took over the duties of officials and the work of all kinds of ruffians, and searched the people on the streets every day, and those who did not accept the Fa were rectified on the spot. If Liu Zhengang is lawless. Then now the people of Dengzhou don't know what the law is. Some people are even wondering if it would be better if Liu Zhengang was here. Everyone hopes that Lu Bing or Qi Jingtong can return to their hometown as soon as possible and punish some of the three newly emerging bullies and their backstage Zhizhou Sun Xiao. That's why when Lu Bingyi appeared at the hotel, he received such a warm welcome.

Dengzhou Mansion was not destroyed by these people because of its thick foundation, and the people relied on the sea to eat the sea, and they could barely get by.

—————————————————————————————————————

Lu Bing stood in front of the yamen. suddenly had mixed feelings, how should I face Sun Xiao? Punishment is out of the question. I have no official body, and I don't have the right to allow this in my hands, it is necessary to have a token from the emperor to support me not to be bullied by others, but Lu Bing also has no qualifications to bully others. There is no other way but to use money to smash it, but isn't it embarrassing to give money to such officials? Lu Bing suddenly felt deep helplessness and powerlessness, as if he couldn't use his strength with a punch on cotton, Lu Bing walked into the prefect's yamen with heavy steps.

Originally, the prefect should live in the backyard of the yamen, or don't set up a house, the backyard naturally has a back door, the back door is changed to the main gate of the courtyard, ordinary people wait to go there, the gate of the yamen is for office, idlers are not allowed to enter. But Sun Xiao is different here, he sealed the door of the backyard, leaving only a small side door for the subordinates to walk and the dung bucket and other dirty things in and out, as for the others, they all go through the gate of the prefect's yamen.

The yamen was originally a place of prestige, and now it doesn't matter if there is something to come or give gifts, I was first shocked by the prestige of the government, and the conversation is estimated to have gone a lot smoother in the future. It's just that this point is not suitable for Lu Bing, not to mention that Lu Bing can be regarded as a general who has led thousands of troops, that is, when Lu Bing first entered the officialdom and was still a brocade guard, he worked in the Fusi of Beizhen, where there is a notorious edict that can stop children from crying at night. For the Jinyi Guard, who made others shudder, the sense of majesty of the small Dengzhou Mansion Yamen did not exist at all.

Lu Bingqi Yu Xuanang walked in, the team leader was stunned at this time, thinking that this person did not have a trace of timidity, it seems that it is not small, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists to greet him, knocked on the side and asked honestly and fearfully, and then introduced the class room to sit for a while, and the porter hurriedly went to Tongbing.

Sun Xiao sat in the room drinking tea, and his nephew Sun Kang was in front of him, reporting what he had seen and heard when he came in.

Speaking of Sun Kang, he is also smart, he knows about Lu Bing's house repair, but he didn't interfere, people who can have the financial resources to build such a large yard are by no means idle, not ordinary people who can be bullied casually.

Once Sun Kang took a few of his subordinates to take a look, wanting to find out about the situation of this family, just when he asked the master's surname Lu, Xia Dade came out, asked them in a rough voice what they were doing, and forcibly came to live in the way of Sun Kang and the other ruffians.

Xia Dade is also a battle-hardened general, although the lives in his hands are not as many as Lu Bing's, there are also a lot of plans, not to mention that he has been killing pigs since he was a child, he is churning in flesh and blood every day, and his body involuntarily exudes a trace of murderous aura, and his burly figure is even more fierce. Not to mention people, even wild dogs will quietly pass by with their tails between their tails when they walk by Xia Dade, and they don't dare to bark at all.

Xia Dade asked Sun Kang a few words, and Sun Kang's subordinates were so frightened that they scattered and fled, Xia Dade looked fierce but very hospitable, and had to pull Sun Kang into the house to drink tea, but the momentum and expression did not seem to be drinking tea, as if black and white impermanence pulled people into the ghost gate, as if saying to Sun Kang and others: You come in, come in and chop you up.

Sun Kang endured the timidity in his heart, and rejected Xia Dade in a trembling voice, so that he was able to get out. Yesterday, I learned from the hotel in the city that the old man Lu who repaired the house was Lu Bing, who got rid of Liu Zhengang in Dengzhou back then, so the Sun family reunited with the government and began to discuss countermeasures, hoping not to repeat Liu Zhengang's mistakes.
