Laughter, laughter, shouting...... into the ear.

Steward He looked up and saw disdainful eyes, sarcastic eyes, angry eyes, and indifferent eyes.

Humiliation!

It's endless humiliation!

When the two officials saw Steward He raise his head, they wanted to stop and pushed vigorously, "Go faster, the county is big here, you crawl slowly like a turtle, don't hurt Lao Tzu if you can't catch lunch!" ”

"Yes." The other chimed in.

Steward He staggered, lowered his head to hide the resentment in his eyes.

Half an hour later, the two officials untied Steward He and left with a smile.

A small servant of the Qian family hurriedly led the horse over at this time, and handed the rope to Steward He, who instinctively reached out to take it, but then threw it away, he was because he hit someone on the street, so he had the humiliation he suffered today.

Where do you dare to ride a horse on the street again?

Glaring at the little guy fiercely, Steward He lowered his head and hurried away, leaving this place first. Fortunately, the people here are kinder and didn't hit him with rotten leaves and rotten eggs. He thought about it a lot, in this poor place in Lingtong County, where are there rotten vegetable leaves in winter? As for rotten eggs that have been left for a long time, it is even more unlikely that there will be them. Whose eggs aren't protected like babies? When you get a certain amount, you will sell it immediately, and the people who buy it will naturally eat it early.

The little servant led the horse and followed, his face full of remorse, he should have driven a carriage over.

After walking a hundred steps and crossing a few streets, Steward He slowed down, and when the little guy followed, he saw Steward He's face distorted, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Steward He's gaze. Steward He narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he had a plan.

They didn't ride horses, and after some questioning, the two came to the rented place.

Steward He went to see Qian Dai first, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, tears flowed down his face, not to tell the wrong, to ask Qian Dai to be his master, but to blame himself for embarrassing the Qian family.

Qian Dai glanced at Steward He lightly, and said a few lukewarm words before letting Steward He retreat.

The middle-aged scribe raised his eyes at this time, and then lowered his eyes again.

As soon as Steward He exited the door, Pisso strode over and spoke comfortingly.

Pisso is the captain of the guard, responsible for security matters, and Steward He is in charge of the Qian family's team, and the two are of equal status, but Steward He also has an errand that Pisso envies, that is, he is in charge of all the money.

Usually get together, and the relationship is not bad. Otherwise, Pisso would not have found Jianglong to be accommodating.

"That guy surnamed Jing is really not a thing!" Pisso scolded and scolded, and told what had happened, "It's just that you have been exchanged for a slave, and fifty taels of silver is not enough for him to earn?" ”

Fifty taels? Steward He was disdainful, in his eyes, Pisso was just a big boss, and he looked down on him in his heart. Fifty taels is indeed not a small amount in Pisso's eyes, but Jingfu was the mansion of the Hou Ye back then, with the strong family property of the family, can fifty taels of silver touch people's hearts?

Don't say fifty taels, it's five hundred and fifty thousand taels, and people don't pay attention to it.

So it's still my own son-in-law who is smart! Originally, Steward He didn't vigorously protect Qian Dai, and he was very complaining, but now he suddenly understands that Jiang Long has been taking the opportunity to build momentum, and Gongzi Ye is not humble and arrogant.

However, Bisso's kind intention to help him end up in harm fell into disadvantage.

Unlike Pisso, the money steward helps manage the money, although it is not his own, but he has seen such a large amount of silver, so he has a general understanding of how the powerful treat money and how much it can enter the eyes of the powerful.

The two talked for a while, and Steward He went to get busy.

The convoy had just been stationed, and many things needed to be arranged by him personally.

However, when he walked away, Steward He whispered: "I invite you to dinner in the evening, and we have something to discuss." ”

"No problem!" Pisso patted his chest, although he was a rough man, he could guess how much that Steward He was definitely going to take revenge.

Jianglong is busy with important matters, and the county government has always been led by Cheng Ze, but now the major projects have stopped, so Cheng Ze asked Jiang Long to stay in the county government honestly, teaching Jiang Long the basic knowledge of being an official, as well as the work process, etc.

If you want to be an official and not be found faulty, these things must be learned, so Jiang Long learns seriously.

The day passed quickly, and the three Qi brothers who stared at the Qian family did not find anything abnormal.

In the evening, Steward He called Pisso out of Lu, came to a nearby restaurant, ordered a table full of good dishes, and asked for a jar of good wine.

Pisso was very happy and immediately nodded in agreement. He can eat and drink, but the monthly allowance is not much, if he can't have a good relationship with Steward He, then he will definitely not be able to eat meat and drink good wine from time to time in the future, which is absolutely not good for Piso, who has no meat, no joy, no wine, and no food.

And when he was in the capital, he often helped Steward He and other small favors.

The next day, several Qian family guards walked out.

Qian Dai had breakfast, put on his official robe and rode in a carriage to the county office, until he walked in, and the middle-aged scribe also followed.

Jiang Long has prepared an office space for Qian Dai, the room is not big but clean and bright, there is no furnishings in it, Qian Dai is very satisfied with this, and there is no dissatisfaction, and after sitting down and chatting with Qian Dai for a few words, he put down the file materials that Qian Dai wanted, got up and left.

Qian Dai looked at the archives, and after a while, he frowned.

It is clearly written above, digging rivers, leveling fields, and rebuilding the county seat, the imperial court did not allocate much funding at all, it was completely Jiang Long's friends who invested in things, of course, after the project was completed, Jiang Long's friends would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

For the emperor, there is no difference whether these fertile fields belong to ordinary people or Jiang Long's friends.

As long as the grain is grown honestly and taxed, and then the store is opened.

The middle-aged scribe also watched carefully, and from time to time he would nod secretly, praising in his heart, he really didn't expect that Jiang Long was really a good official for the people and the country.

After a while, Qian Dai's frowning brows calmed down and he had his own ideas.

The emperor doesn't care who owns the fertile land, so why should he care if those wilderness fields are good or not? As long as the river can be dug successfully, he can directly say that the fertile land has been improved and completed, and then receive political achievements, as for whether those fertile fields can grow grain, it is none of his business.

If it can be planted, everyone is happy; If it cannot be planted, it is the responsibility of the magistrate.

At that time, Qian Dai had already returned to Beijing.

There were too many such things in Jiang Long's previous life, and officials called reporters from many TV stations to publicize the groundbreaking ceremony of a certain big project, earn face, and make political achievements for themselves, but what about afterwards? But there is no investment in this project at all.

More than ten years later, there are still those few cement piles erected on the construction site.

The officials have been promoted, and the positions are high and powerful, and no one dares to say anything more about the officials transferred below, let alone blow up.

In Qian Dai's view, those fertile fields are not his own, so why bother to work hard to be perfect? What he values is only that political achievement, and he doesn't care what the extra millions of acres of fertile land mean to the northern Xinjiang, to the people, and to the imperial court.

Qian Dai has long entered the official career and has been trained for many years, so it is very easy to get started.

The Qian family rented a whole row of houses to arrange guards, entourage, maids, mothers-in-law, and maids.

The daily expenses are a lot, fortunately the money Dai brought enough silver, otherwise this kind of money like flowing water can not last a few days, and then, Qian Dai is greedy for money, and this way is also a lot of filial piety, and even many officials rushed over to send him silver, these silver alone, enough money to wear in Lingtong County for a few years.

Today, after being busy for another half a day, Steward Qian finally put away the luggage and arranged the cleaning of the place where he lived.

Most of the servants were a few people in a room, and the only ones who could live alone were Qian Dai, Steward He, the middle-aged scribe, and Pisso, the captain of the guard. Originally, Qian Dai's several personal rings around him were also of high status, even Steward He and Piso did not dare to mention the crime, but the personal rings had to be on duty at night, so after Qian Dai came back from office, they had to guard their masters at all times.

Therefore, there is no other arrangement for the room to give a few close-fitting rings.

When Qian Dai went out, they rested in the outhouse of Qian Dai's room. For this arrangement, the personal maid is naturally very satisfied, if Steward He arranges another house, it will cause them to be dissatisfied, and they can stay by Qian Dai's side all the time, so that they can always be honored and disgraced.

And once the relationship with the owner is estranged, it means that there is no status.

After taking care of the affairs at hand, Steward He couldn't wait to find Piso and ask about the situation.

Pi Suo found a few of his subordinates who had been sent out early in the morning and asked them to report to Steward He in person, and he left without much listening.

Of course, before leaving, it was inevitable to leave a message, so that a few subordinates must obey Steward He's orders.

After Steward He asked, a touch of ruthlessness appeared on his fair face.

At noon, Qian Dai came back for dinner, and then took the middle-aged scribe to the county office.

In the evening, after Steward He reported to Qian Dai, he left with the guards. It wasn't until late at night that he quietly returned.

The next day, several officers in the county government complained, why didn't Da Liu and Xiao Yang come to duty today?

"Did you drink too much horse urine and fall asleep last night?" the team leader He Dao drank hard, and immediately sent someone to Da Liu and Xiao Yang's home to ask, "These two guys, if you don't want to do it, just fuck Lao Tzu!" ”

But the man who sent them came back and said that they had not returned home since they had gone out last night.

The officials felt strange.

"Which restaurant did you get drunk in?"

"Are you looking for ...... Hey. ”

"Possibly."

"Don't talk nonsense, do you think something is going to happen?"

"Crow's beak!"

The crow's beak is often more effective, and when it was close to noon, someone reported that two bodies had been found.
