Chapter 52: Life Can't Be Lived

Fang Yingwu's strategy is very simple, that is, to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them.

Back in the house, Fang Yingwu took a self-portrait in the mirror, Sister Lan came in with her sun-dried clothes, and teased when she saw this: "Jun Mei is very beautiful, how can Duke Xu and Jun Ye!" ”

Fang Yingwu daxiao, buckled the mirror and said, "Do you think I'm a narcissist?" Sister Lan asked curiously: "Husband, don't you follow the example of the sages and use the mirror to learn from yourself?" ”

"Definitely!" Fang Yingwu replied calmly: "Look at yourself as a bully for your husband." Sister Lan was amazed, "I haven't heard of anyone in the world who wants to be a bully." ”

Fang Yingwu sighed: "The bully didn't say it, but did it!" The day before yesterday, I also advised Uncle A to be domineering, but now he has to go into battle in person for his husband, this world is to force people to be bullies, otherwise life will not be possible! ”

The next day, early in the morning, there were more than 20 young men of the Fang clan standing outside the door and waiting. After Fang Yingwu came out, he took this group of people to the county office.

When passing by Zhonghuaxi and Xiahuaxi villages, the villagers heard that Fang Yingwu took people to the county government to discuss the explanation, so they all said that they wanted to join the team, but Fang Yingwu politely refused.

When I arrived at the county seat, it was just before noon.

Fang Yingwu swaggered into the county office alone, passing through the second gate, as if entering a no-man's land. He has been in the limelight several times in the county government, especially the last time he was the head of the case, most of the officials in the government recognized him, so naturally they would not stop him.

On both sides of the road outside the county government hall, there are six rooms of the county government officials, household rites, soldiers, and criminal workers, which correspond to the six departments of the imperial court, and each room is equipped with a priest and a warden as the leader.

Fang Yingwu glanced at it a few times, and then entered the house. Outside, there are a few clerks who are busy, and there is a middle-aged man with good maintenance in the inner room.

This middle-aged man is the head of the household, of course, Fang Yingwu can see it, and he stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: "In Xiahuaxi, Fang Yingwu, dare to ask the surname of the household secretary?" ”

Originally, the Hushu was an honorific title for the Hubu Shangshu, but the atmosphere evolved and gradually became popular in the county government, and it became an honorific title for the Hufang officials. Similarly, there are official books, ritual books, and so on.

When the house official saw Fang Yingwu, he already knew in his heart why he came. But he wasn't afraid, anyway, there was someone else at the side of that matter, and he was just doing things for others. At the moment, his expression was faint, and he was neither humble nor arrogant: "It turned out to be a friend of Fang, and his surname is Ding." ”

"It turned out to be a book of Ding Hu." Fang Yingwu nodded and said, "I came down for one thing, my Huaxi land was suddenly changed to Shangtian, but our Huaxi landlord didn't know anything, what is the reason for this?" I'm afraid that it doesn't make sense. ”

Ding Hushu replied officially: "Whether it is reasonable or not, the government has its own ruling." As for how the fields are graded, it is also a secret of the government and has nothing to say. ”

Fang Yingwu asked in an unkind tone: "Ding Hushu really refuses to be accommodating?" ”

Ding Hushu frowned, will this little boy do anything? Before asking, before accommodating, should you first show the benefits? Although the benefits may not be useful, the rules are the rules.

Seeing a lot of such people, he responded very familiarly: "The yamen has its own charter, and it also acts according to the rules below, if Fang friends are dissatisfied, they can appeal to the old man separately, and it is useless to entangle in the subordinates." ”

That being said, in fact, even if you appeal to the magistrate, it may not be useful, and the Hu family is on that side.

Fang Yingwu's face softened, "At this moment, it is almost noon, and I am doing the east in the restaurant outside the West Gate, and I invite Ding Hushu to take the time to appreciate the light." ”

Ding Hushu coldly refused: "I got it!" These days are busy, and there are a lot of official duties, but I'm afraid there is no time."

You can't do it if you don't go out, Fang Yingwu thought, and in a blink of an eye, he had a plan. Without waiting for him to speak, he grabbed the conversation and said: "Ming people don't say secret words, Mrs. Hu and I are grandfathers and grandsons, but we just have a grudge, but I didn't expect it to fall on this matter."

I invited Ding Hushu and his entourage, not to solve the matter of the field, but to ask Ding Hushu to be a middleman, if the two can be repaired, I will naturally be grateful. ”

Hearing this, Ding Hushu suddenly became very interested. Yes, Fang Yingwu and Mrs. Hu are grandfathers and grandsons, and no matter how much they complain, they are very close relatives, but they lack an opportunity for reconciliation.

Looking at the attitude of Fang Yingwu, it is to seek peace, as long as there is this attitude, it will be easy to do. Could it be that Mrs. Hu can still deal with the younger generations to the end, and let such outstanding relatives not recognize him?

If he resolved the dispute between the two families in the middle, wouldn't he become their benefactor? This is a very good chance for me.

Thinking of this, Ding Hushu seemed to be blowing in the spring breeze, "Since Friend Fang has a heart, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

Immediately, Ding Hushu went out of the yamen with Fang Yingwu, accompanied by another scribe surnamed Shao, who was probably Ding Hushu's henchman.

Walking outside the gate of the county government, Ding Hushu smiled: "Where are you going?" ”

But he saw Fang Yingwu take out the bamboo whistle from his bosom and blew it hard, and the terrible whistle echoed on the street in front of the yamen.

What does that mean? Ding Hushu's smile froze, and he looked at Fang Yingwu in amazement. Suddenly, twenty or thirty strong peasant men appeared from the alleys on both sides, and tightly surrounded Ding Hushu and Shao Shu.

No matter how stupid Ding Hushu is, he understands the situation, it turns out that Fang Yingwu just pretended to be soft, in order to coax him out of the yamen, and then he was going to commit violence! He scolded in a fierce voice: "Before the yamen, what do you want? I am."

The group of people didn't answer, and the young man in front of him hit him with a fist, hitting Ding Hushu's cheek, and immediately felt that the sky was spinning.

Then the crowd swarmed up, and punched and kicked Ding Hushu and Shao Shuyi, knocking the two to the ground and rolling in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, several pawns on duty here at the county government gate hurriedly rushed up to save the two officials. However, there were many people on the other side, and it was easy to divide five or six people to stop the pawn and prevent him from approaching.

These people were indeed brought by Fang Yingwu from Huaxi, he saw that the heat was almost over, and he couldn't delay any longer, so he ordered: "Let's go!" ”

The crowd carried Ding Hushu and Shao Shushu according to the advance jihua, and quickly walked towards the west gate. There is no rest on the road, and when you are tired, you will change people.

The incident in front of the gate of the county government happened very suddenly and ended quickly. More than twenty hit two, and it's too wasteful if it's not fast.

By the time the dozen or so officials had gathered and rushed out of the county government to save people, the Fang family had already disappeared on the street corner, and they could only sigh in joy.

There are a few young officials who are very motivated to work and have to catch up. But he was stopped by the old official and reprimanded: "You have long brains! There must be an inside story about strange things, and that is the son of the old man Xie Yuan's family, can we be fooled! Haven't you heard of how Tan Gongdao's predecessors were unlucky? ”

Within a day, this exciting news spread in the county seat - the son of Fang Jieyuan's family bullied people, openly gathered a crowd outside the yamen to beat two county officials, and kidnapped people after the beating!

If beating and kidnapping people on the street is still a scandal, but the image of the servants is really not good in the minds of the people, and they themselves are inferior servants, and in the 21 st century they are not even citizens, then the situation is different.

Hearing the news that the yamen officials were beaten and kidnapped by the prince of Xie Yuan, the people only listened to it as an anecdote, and they did not have any disgust, but they clapped their hands and applauded everywhere.

As for the reaction of the other gentry, how did these two yamen officials provoke Fang Yingwu? It must have been something wrong with the two of them first, otherwise how could the child Fang lose his temper?

This kind of public opinion makes the people in the public very cold -- is there no place to reason in this world? It's just a day like no other.

didn't mention it later, but said that Wang Zhixian got the report as soon as possible. At this time, he was reading the official document in the second hall, but he saw the door guard kneeling outside the threshold with a roll, "Master! The household secretary and another scribe were kidnapped by Fang Yingwu! It's the Fang Yingwu of the Xie Yuan family! ”

Wang Zhixian was stunned when he heard this, he knew the other party very well, how could this party should be a person who was not reckless and impulsive and had nothing to do, how could he go to the yamen to kidnap the little official for no reason?

But no matter what the reason, this is too faceless, and the county government is regarded as a public toilet that can come and go when you want?

Wang Zhixian reached out and drew the sign dissatisfied, and was about to drop the sign and point to Qi Gong! But I heard Xu Menzi, a henchman standing beside him, coughing violently a few times, as if he meant something.

Wang Zhixian withdrew his hand, thought about it again, and suddenly realized that since Fang Yingwu dared to do this openly, it must be the two little officials who had the handle to fall into Fang Yingwu's hands!

Therefore, the top priority is not to save people first, but to understand what this handle is first, otherwise it is possible to be more passive! Anyway, Fang Ying has roots and feet, and he is not afraid that he will not find it, so why rush for a while.

After thinking about it clearly, Wang Zhixian called the other two wardens and officials of the household and asked, "What have you done recently, which can be related to that party?" ”

The officials looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer or not, or how to answer. But there was a warden surnamed Zhao who came out of the crowd, "The little one knows that Nading Hushu once changed the grade of Huaxi fields without authorization, and all of them were changed from Nakata to Ueda." ”

Wang Zhixian was furious in his heart, did this surnamed Ding find his own death, no wonder he angered the local squire! It also brought so much trouble to the county government!

Doesn't this surnamed Ding know that Fang Yingwu is an advanced model of poor schoolchildren recommended by him Wang County! Although it's a bit out of touch with the cold door now.

Wang Xianzun was about to stretch out his hand and sprinkle the stick, ready to light up the servants! But I heard the violent cough of my henchman Xu Menzi again.

Coughing again? Is it meant again? Wang Zhixian put away his hand, and after thinking twice, he thought that this surnamed Ding usually doesn't look stupid, and even if he is a fool, he can't sit in the position of the household secretary, so there must be a reason for repairing Huaxi.

And this Zhao Dian's speech must be inaccurate, almost misleading himself, these officials are really more cunning than the other!

Zhao Dianguan really wanted to take the opportunity to pit Ding Si Official, and some of the Ding Si Officials were lost, and he, the second-in-command warden of the household, had a chance to replace him. But he found that the county lord had already reacted, so he could only reluctantly explain the situation in detail.

Before the little man finished speaking, Ding Hushu not only revised the grade of Huaxi Field, but also lowered the grade of Cixi Field. Huaxi and Cixi both belong to Zitong Township, which is just a little fine-tuning in a township, so Ding Hushu said that there is no need to alarm the master. ”

Hearing the word Cixi, Wang Zhixian rubbed his forehead painfully, and only wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

How Mr. Hu and Fang Yingwu quarreled, he had seen it with his own eyes. At that time, I was afraid that I would affect myself, so I gave up the idea of being a peacemaker, who would have thought that I couldn't hide and hide, they were here again!

This kind of errand in the county magistrate has little power and big responsibility, and there are countless bosses and various squires below, which is really not done by people!

Wang Zhi, the county magistrate, sighed, only regretted that he didn't work hard enough, and he was only a third-class jinshi, so he could only be the most tired seven-grade official, that is, the magistrate. Otherwise, even if it is a second class, it will not be sent to this strong county where the squires are all over the place and have many fames like dogs!

Complaining is complaining, but things have to be resolved.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that in terms of reality, the Hu family is a little harder? It will take some time for the Fang family to transform soft power into hard power, and by then, maybe he will not be in Chun'an for a long time.

Wang Zhixian flashed these thoughts, and when he had an idea, he had to reach out and sprinkle the sign and point up the official service! But at this juncture, henchman Xu Menzi coughed violently again, as if he had tuberculosis.

Wang Zhixian was upset, and shouted at Xu Menzi, who was standing next to him: "If you cough again, you will slap your mouth!" Something to talk about! ”

Xu Menzi knelt on the ground with a puff, "Master spare your life!" Recently, the autumn and winter seasons have changed badly, and the small misfortune is a little cold, but fortunately it is not serious, but there is an occasional cough!

But haven't you heard? Recently, there are many big families who want to marry the Fang family, like a carp crossing the river, and the master has to think twice! ”

Wang Zhixian was stunned, although the hard power of the Hu family is indeed a little stronger, but the two lonely men of the Fang family are extremely outstanding, and they are the targets of the major families, this is the advantage.

The father and son of the Fang family can transform their soft power into hard power comparable to or even stronger than the Hu family at the fastest speed through marriage at any time.

I can't live this day.
