After Fu Xiaojiu stood up, Wan Lin said: "Our husband and wife are here for one person. ”

"Oh? Who are you here for? The county commander's heart sank, thinking that they were here to sue Cao Heizi.

Wan Lin said respectfully: "We are here for an old man in Dajingzi Village. ”

The county order was a little confused, "Dajingzi Village? Do you know anyone else in Dajingzi Village? ”

Wan Lin replied, "The old man's wife and daughters have passed away, and he is the only one left in the world. is such a helpless and lonely old man, but he is still bullied and frightened every day. If it weren't for the uneven road between our husband and wife today, he would probably die at the hands of bullies. ”

Hearing Wan Lin's complaint, the county order had to act angry even if he knew who this bully was.

"How can this be true? What kind of person is so bold that he can do such a beastly thing? ”

Wan Lin said calmly: "That person is the son of Dajingzi Village Zheng, named Hou Si'er. ”

"Rizheng's son?"

There was a subtle change in the expression of the prefectural order.

Wan Lin continued: "Master, Li Zheng of Dajingzi Village is conniving at his son to harm the township and bully the widows, the old and the weak, which is really too rampant. Isn't the imperial court vigorously rectifying those corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Li Zheng is also an official, a good Li Zheng can benefit one side of the water and soil, and if this kind of Li Zheng is not controlled, the villagers are afraid that they will complain. ”

After hearing this, the county magistrate put on an iron-faced and selfless attitude, and said sharply: "What the head of the Wan case said is right, such a Lizheng official should indeed teach a good lesson!" If he does not repent, he will not be able to tolerate him. ”

"There's Lord Lao!" Wan Lin respectfully saluted the county order to show his gratitude.

"Master, the daughter still has something to report to the master."

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly sobbed, the pear blossoms with rain are beautiful and pitiful.

The county magistrate is a person who cherishes beauties very much, and when he saw Fu Xiaojiu sobbing with red eyes, he immediately softened his heart and hurriedly said: "What grievances are there in Fu Langzhong?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu wiped his tears and said, "Does the master have a cousin named Cao Heizi?" ”

Where can the county order deny it, nodding helplessly.

Fu Xiaojiu continued: "This Cao Heizi is even more domineering and arrogant than the son there, he came to the hospital yesterday to tell my family, let us pay a protection fee of fifty taels of silver every month, if we don't pay, he will come and smash my medical center." also let the other merchants each pay a protection fee of 20 taels of silver per month, if they don't pay, they will smash the store, and ask the master to make the decision for the people and others! ”

Fu Xiaojiu said, kneeling down with a "plop".

"Fulang, hurry up!"

The county order was about to help Fu Xiaojiu get up, but Fu Xiaojiu stood up by himself before he touched him.

Fu Xiaojiu leaned over to Wan Lin, wiped his tears again, and said in a choked voice: "Master, many people can testify to this matter, if you don't believe it, just ask other merchants." ”

The county commander threw down his sleeves in annoyance, "What nonsense!" How could he do such a ridiculous thing? ”

After the county order was angry, his tone was much softer when he spoke to Fu Xiaojiu, "My cousin has been stubborn since he was a child, and everyone in the family is heartbroken for him. He turned out to be a little more domineering, but not in order to let him change his ways, I deliberately drove him out of the county and let him find a way out on his own. I didn't expect this bastard to come back, and when he came back, he made a mess for me, and to be honest, I also had a headache! ”

Fu Xiaojiu saw that Cao Heizi did give the county order a headache, in order to give the county order a step, Fu Xiaojiu said: "Everyone has a few bad relatives, if it is us ordinary people, forget it, you are the parent official who guards one side, and you are a rare Qingtian lord, you have such a relative, we all feel panicked for you." ”

Wan Lin immediately echoed: "The master is a good official who is the master of the people and loves the people like a son. I also want to wait for the county school to write an article praising the achievements of the grandfather as a review article for admission. When the students heard that the prefectural school instructor thought it was good, they would submit it to the teacher, and if the teacher thought it was good, he would submit it to the prefectural school and the state school step by step, and perhaps it would be in the hands of the officials as part of the evaluation of the officials' political achievements. ”

The county order understands what Wan Lin means, others don't know, but the county order knows the relationship between Li Dalong and the DPRK, even if Li Dalong will leave for a few months before coming back, he is still the "overlord" of the county after he returns, and he does not dare to offend.

The county commander wiped his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I have also heard about this matter, and now the saint is wide-ranging, attaches great importance to the virtue of the officials below, and attaches more and more importance to the poor students selected by the imperial examination, Wan Xiucai, your future is limitless!" ”

Wan Lin respectfully bowed his hand to the upper left and said: "The sage is wise, my Dachen can be so rich and prosperous, and I can come to the court from all directions." ”

The county commander nodded approvingly, and then expressed his determination to the two of them, "What the two of you said to this official, this official has kept it in mind. You can rest assured, if I ask someone to be the county magistrate of the county for one day, I will protect the people for one day. I'll let Lizheng from Dajingzi Village come over, and after asking him, I'll call Cao Heizi for questioning. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

After the two of them thanked the county magistrate, they left.

As soon as the two of them left, the county magistrate threw the tea bowl to the ground.

"Come on, call Hou Lizheng from Dajingzi Village to me!"

After receiving the order, the official hurriedly went to find someone.

The county commander muttered to himself angrily: "What are these things! I'm tired of staying in this poor country, and I see that I have a chance to be promoted, and if anyone dares to block me, I won't let anyone have a good time! ”

"Cousin, what are you doing here?"

Cao Heizi walked in with square steps at this time.

"Why are you here? I'm looking for you! ”

The county magistrate was already angry with Cao Heizi, and when he saw him coming, he was even more angry.

Cao Heizi looked like a hippie smile, and sat directly next to the county commander and said, "Cousin, why are you angry?" Let me start with that, since you taught me a lesson yesterday, I have reflected on it. I was not convinced, but I went back and thought about it, and what you said was right! You've been in this place for four or five years and haven't been promoted, how can I still block you? ”

The county commander didn't expect Cao Heizi to "change his ways"!

"Do you really figure it out? Know I'm here for your good? "The county order still doesn't believe it.

Cao Heizi smiled again, "Hehe, cousin, I really thought about it." Didn't you say let me make a decent living? I fell in love with a shop and wanted to take it down, you don't have to give me too much, lend me three hundred taels of silver and I can do the business, and then I will pay you back four hundred taels of silver! ”

After listening to Cao Heizi's boasting, a cloud instantly cast on the face of the county commander who was a little smiling.

"You're in your thirties, why are you still talking so frivolously?"

Cao Heizi saw that the county order didn't believe it, and then said: "Cousin, I really didn't brag, the shop I fancy is a good deal, and I will definitely make a profit after I take it down!" ”

The county magistrate reluctantly glanced at him, "What kind of shop do you like?" ”

Cao Heizi smiled mysteriously, "What I fancy is a pawn shop next to Ji Sanniang's shop." ”

"The pawn shop next to Ji Sanniang's house?" The prefectural order's face was completely gloomy.

Cao Heizi said as a matter of course: "Yes, it's the pawn shop next to her." ”

The county magistrate had a calm face, and said with hatred: "Why are you still leaning next to her?" Have you forgotten what kind of loss you suffered from her yesterday? Li Dalong's men are now guarding her door, what do you think you can bargain for? ”

"How can a manly man be as knowledgeable as a little woman? I just see that the pawn shop next to her is making money, so I don't care about her. After all, with money, what kind of woman can't I get? ”

Cao Heizi said it arrogantly, but the county magistrate felt that he was tired in his heart and didn't believe him at all.

"No, I don't agree with you going to the pawn shop next to Ji Sanniang's house. Let's take a look at other shops! ”

After the county order finished speaking, he turned his face away, not wanting to pay attention to Cao Heizi anymore.

Cao Heizi saw that the county order didn't believe in him, and he wasn't in a hurry, so he rode Erlang's leg and said slowly: "Cousin, I know you're afraid that I'm in trouble, but you don't ask me why I want to take down that shop?" Don't ask me what I want to do after I make money? ”

The county magistrate said disdainfully: "What else can you do if you earn money?" It's just eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. ”

Cao Heizi suddenly approached the county order, and the county order hid to the side in disgust.

Cao Heizi said in a low voice: "I know that my cousin has been worried about the promotion, so I want to earn more money so that my cousin can move around conveniently." If you are promoted, won't I be able to get clean? ”

This is said to the heart of the county order.

The county order's mind immediately became more active.

"How can you think of me like that?"

Cao Heizi saw that the county order had the meaning of relieving, and said while the iron was hot: "I really think so!" My aunt's family is now the only one male in you, although we are cousins, but we are also related by blood, if I have the ability, I will definitely help my cousin. Didn't you say that I'm in my thirties, and I can't mix anymore. ”

The county magistrate lowered his eyes and said, "You let me think about it." By the way, does the owner of the shop have any plans to redeem the shop? ”

Cao Heizi smiled shamelessly, "Hehe, does he want to redeem something, it's not a matter of his cousin's words?" ”

"You kid!"

There was a smile in the eyes of the prefectural order.

"However, the pawn shop is not easy to do, if you don't have the eyes of double literacy, you will lose money!"

Cao Heizi said indifferently: "Who doesn't know that I am your cousin, who dares to lie to the cousin of the county master?" ”

The county magistrate said helplessly: "What you think is quite beautiful!" ”

Cao Heizi saw that the county order would help him, and said excitedly: "I heard that the Lin family wine shop has recently brewed a few jars of good wine, so I'll go buy it back and give you a taste." ”

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin went to the medical hall, and were talking to Wan Pozi and others about the scene of seeing the county order, and inadvertently looked at the door, and saw Cao Heizi walking in front, and his two subordinates each followed behind him with two jars of wine, and walked through the door of the medical hall with great dignity.

Fu Xiaojiu said suspiciously: "Didn't the county order ask him for questioning?" Why did he look so happy? ”
