Chapter 32: To Each His Own Heart

Su Xuntian pursed the corners of his lips impatiently, and was about to choke his brother-in-law with two words that were neither soft nor hard, when his eyes turned, he suddenly saw Ye Xiaotian, and his expression was immediately happy.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly gave him a look, Su Xuntian stood up knowingly, turned to Hua Qingfeng and said: "Lord County, if you are not a humble offense, it is really a top priority, the situation is urgent, so I had to break into the banquet as a last resort, and I also prayed for your lordship's forgiveness." ”

In order to "clear the wilderness" of Ye Xiaotian and Hua Qingfeng's "righteous annihilation", he also transferred his brother-in-law Su Xuntian and transferred him from the Zhuangban to be a guard officer, responsible for the vigilance and security of the city gate.

Hua Qingfeng was really businesslike to treat him badly, and it was not good to teach him a lesson as a brother-in-law in front of a full house, so he had to pinch his nose and swallow this breath, and said with a straight face: "If you have something important, tell me quickly!" ”

Su Xuntian said slowly: "If you let the lowly position say this, I am afraid that I won't understand it for a while, even if I understand it, if you ask two more questions, my lord, the lowly position will still not be able to answer......"

Hua Qingfeng endured it again and again, the green tendons on her forehead were still tense, and she shouted in a deep voice: "Bastard! Are you teasing the official? You can't tell you clearly, what else do you want to say to this official? ”

Su Xuntian saw that his brother-in-law was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead flared up, and he was not in a hurry, so he said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry." I can't say it clearly, I have someone who can say it clearly, but it's a pity that your door is too difficult to enter, and he was stopped outside. ”

Hua Qingfeng hindered his wife's face, he really couldn't do anything to Su Xuntian, and if he continued to be so angry with him, it was inevitable that other officials would see jokes, Su Xuntian was open-minded, but he couldn't be careless, so he had to shout: "Come on, bring in the people waiting outside the door!" ”

The servant who had knocked over the table had just stood up. Hearing the master's command, he hurriedly agreed, and ran out in a puff of smoke. In a few moments, he ushered a fifty-year-old man dressed in short brown and dark-complexion into the hall.

The servant pointed out to the old man: "This is the eldest lord of this county, what is the matter with you, hurry up!" ”

The old man was shocked when he heard this, he had been farming in the ravine all his life, and he had never even entered the county seat a few times, and for him, the village was a very big official. The county lord? He actually has the opportunity to see the county master in his life?

The old man hurriedly knelt down in front of Hua Qingfeng with a thud, kowtowed like garlic and said, "Wang Xiaoer has seen the old man of Zhixian County. ”

There are few people who are so respectful to Hua Qingfeng, when they saw that this old man was sincere, Hua Qingfeng's face was not gentle, he smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Okay, okay, you are so old, don't give a salute." Get up and answer! ”

The old man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" Tremblingly, he got up, so nervous that he rubbed his palms on the placket of his clothes, and he didn't dare to look up at Hua Qingfeng. Hua Qingfeng smiled and said, "What do you have to say to this official?" ”

The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Little Lao'er has nothing to report to the eldest master." ”

Hua Qingfeng was furious. Immediately glared at Su Xuntian viciously, Su Xuntian said: "Uncle, when you were at the city gate, what did you tell me. You just have to talk to the county lord like this. ”

The old man suddenly said, "Oh! That's it! Xiao Lao'er was originally from Mayang, Chenzhou Prefecture, and fled to Huling 18 years ago......"

Hua Qingfeng frowned when she heard this, and said, "Needless to say." ”

The old man was immediately dazed when he heard this. I don't know where he should start.

Su Xuntian saw that this old man was too wooden, so he had to stand up and say: "My lord, that's the case, after nightfall, the city gate was closed by the lowly position, who knew that this Wang Xiaoer suddenly rushed to the city with a family and begged to enter the city.

They either went to join relatives and friends, or they spent the night under the city and waited until dawn before entering the city. It's just that he was cheap for a while, and asked him why he wanted to enter the city so late, Wang Xiaoer sued him for his humble position, saying that there was a fight between Gaojiazhai and Lijiazhai, and he fled to the city! ”

The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the two of them are from the stockade, and they are fighting very hard!" ”

Su Xuntian continued: "This Wang Xiaoer's home is on the edge of Lijiazhai, and he has cultivated five or six acres of mountain fields on the mountain and farmed for a living. Now that there is no rain for months, the big river has become a small stream, and the stream has dried up into a river, and the mountains are even more drought. In order to compete for water, Gaojiazhai and Lijiazhai have been fighting continuously recently.

This morning, Li Bohao, the owner of Lijiazhai, went up the mountain to find Gaojiazhai's bad luck, and stabbed him in the crotch of Gaojiazhai Shaozhai Gao Ya, almost cutting off his life, Gaojiazhai owner was furious, entangled a large number of young and strong, and went to Lijiazhai to fight in the afternoon of the same day, Wang Xiaoer was worried about being implicated, so he fled overnight. ”

The old man nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

Su Xuntian glanced at Hua Qingfeng, whose face changed suddenly, and said leisurely: "Despicable, the adult should be more interested in this matter, so I brought him to meet the adult." If you don't think it's important, take him away immediately! ”

"Wait!"

Hua Qingfeng shouted, walked a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, suddenly stopped, and said to Ye Xiaotian and Zhao Wenyuan: "Ye Dianshi, Zhao Yicheng, there is a big event today, and this banquet can only end here." ”

Zhao Wenyuan hurriedly got up and said: "As a county parent, my lord should take official duties first. The lower official was no longer strong enough to drink, so he took his leave. ”

Hua Qingfeng arched his hand to him, and said loudly: "Xu County Cheng, Wang Zhushu, Luo Inspection, and Ye Dianshi are left, and the other adults, please go back and rest early!" ”

At that moment, everyone said goodbye one after another, and after a while, only Hua Qingfeng and the four officials he had left behind in the hall, as well as Su Xuntian and Nawang Xiaoer, were left.

Wang Xiaoer stood there in a panic, Hua Qingfeng took them to the main hall, and asked Wang Laohan carefully about the situation of the battle between Gao and Li, waved Su Xuntian to take him out, and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this?" ”

Wang Zhushu frowned, and said: "At the beginning, Huling was because of the Yi and Miao families, and each called friends and friends, and recruited the nearby mountain tribes to help in the war, and the shape gradually became uncontrollable, and the imperial court sent troops to quell the dispute. Now the two tribes are fighting again for water, and they are afraid that the shape will not be controllable, and the people's crops will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and their livelihood will be lost, and once it causes riots, it will ......"

Hua Zhixian's face changed drastically, which was what he was most worried about. It's just two stockades fighting each other, which is not a big deal, but if these two stockades call their friends and recruit all the tribes in the nearby mountains and even several nearby counties, it will cause a great turmoil that shocks the imperial court.

For example, peasant riots, often because of natural disasters, there is no livelihood, and now it coincides with a major drought, the autumn harvest is imminent, but there is no harvest in the field, once there are farmers because of the drought, taking advantage of the fierce war of the nearby tribes, the small Hu County will be conquered by them in an instant. Even if they had time to escape, any of these two things would be enough to make the imperial court cut off his head, how could Hua Qingfeng dare not be cautious?

Thinking of this, Hua Qingfeng was a little grateful to his brother-in-law: "The two villages never put the county government in their eyes, and if there is something to do, they will solve it by force, and they will not inform the official at all." If the official doesn't know about it until this matter is uncontrollable, then the general trend will go! This kid Xuntian, although he is angry with me, still knows that his relatives are far away and knows that he thinks about me. ”

Listening to the words of the king's master, Hua Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and said: "The king's book and Gao Li are very familiar with each other, tomorrow morning, please ask the king's bookkeeper to go up the mountain and mediate the dispute between the two villages?" ”

Why did Wang Ning become a tumbler in Huxian officialdom? has his own way of being an official, and once he doesn't handle it well, he will smash it in his hands, and since there is a bigger man on top, he won't take the initiative to take it on himself, and immediately shook his head and said: "The lower official is only responsible for civil affairs, and the two villages are fighting, which started from natural disasters, and now it has developed into a weapon fight." The subordinate officials are old and decayed, running around like this, their bodies are unbearable, and they are also suspected of exceeding their authority in their duties, which is inappropriate and inappropriate. ”

Hua Qingfeng said with some discussion and begging: "Master Wang, once this matter develops, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wang Zhushu is the person who is most familiar with the chiefs of the two villages, and he is really the best candidate......"

"Ahem! Cough...... Oh~~~ cough! ”

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhushu coughed, snoring in his throat, looking like he was about to lose his breath, and he was stunned to interrupt Hua Qingfeng's words.

Ye Xiaotian thought to himself: "Didn't Gao Ya and Li Bohao join forces with the tycoon to set up the 'Luo Li Gao San Surname Car and Horse Shop' and run post road transportation, why did the two of them actually get into trouble to the point of incompatibility?" ”

As soon as he saw that the king master couldn't resign, Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to ask Ying: "Lord County, since the king is unwell, it is not suitable to climb mountains and mountains, then the official is willing to go to ......."

Before Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, Hua Qingfeng's eyebrows furrowed, and when Xu Boyi saw it, Huo Ran stood up and said loudly: "I'll go!" ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at Xu Boyi, Xu Boyi looked upright, and said impassionedly: "The people of Huxian County have been affected by natural disasters, how can they be ravaged by man-made disasters again, since the two villages are fighting for water, it has developed into a fight, Xu is in charge of the county's judicial prison, and it is time to mediate and solve it!" ”

What Xu Boyi is now executing to Ye Xiaotian is a comprehensive "strong wall and clearing the wilderness", so that he has no available people and nothing to do, until he is completely empty and becomes a dispensable puppet, then he can be at his mercy, how can he give Ye Xiaotian a chance to do things.

Moreover, he has just arrived in Huxian, and his reputation in Huxian County is not good, and he urgently needs a chance to establish his prestige and status.

When Hua Qingfeng heard that he was willing to come forward, he happily clapped his hand and said, "Okay! Xu County Cheng is solely responsible for this matter! ”

: In the early morning, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets!.
