Chapter 4 Rectification of the Yamen

There were still people watching, staring at Wen Zhesang with curious eyes, wanting to see what she would do with Ma San.

Wen Zhesang wanted to directly throw the people here into prison, and he was gone. But in her position, if she is really so arbitrary and fierce, what is the difference between her and Wang De. In the end, Wen Zhesang thought of a way and asked Wen Zhi and the others to lead Ma Sanji to the yamen.

When a few people heard that they were going to the yamen, they were almost frightened and their legs weakened, and Ma Sanqiang endured trembling and begged: "My lord, my lord! The little ones really know that they are wrong, so ask the adults to let the little ones live! ”

He was so pitiful and funny, Wen Zhesang glanced at him, and deliberately said in a calm voice: "Since you know that you are wrong, you should pay the price, since you are spreading rumors and talking nonsense, you really deserve to die." ”

Several people trembled with fright, and some of the women next to them couldn't bear it, and just wanted to open their mouths to help plead for mercy, they heard Wen Zhesang say: "But cruelty and murder are not the way of officials, and this official will not take your life, but there is also a way for you to make up for it." ”

Such ups and downs made Ma San and the others tremble, and they didn't bother to ask clearly, they only knew that nodding their heads was like pounding garlic.

After the group left, the people who watched the excitement also dispersed in twos and threes, and in the wonton shop across the street, Jiang Weixi opened his mouth to swallow a wonton with thin skin and big filling, and took a bite of the fresh fragrance. After watching the farce over there from beginning to end, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, anyone can say beautiful things, and I don't know if this female county magistrate is really capable.

Finally, after taking a sip of fresh soup, Jiang Weixi put a few copper plates on the table, stretched his waist while walking, and left the street.

Back at the yamen, it happened that an ordinary-looking young man came out of the yamen, he was stunned when he saw this battle, and then grinned at Wen Zhesang.

Wen Zhesang also smiled, stepped into the yamen, and saw Dongxue's hands stretched out, slowly stretching his waist.

"Little ...... My lord, why did so many people suddenly come? The slave kept a record of them, and several were available. Dong Xue rubbed her sore wrist, now there is a poor and white person in the yamen, and there is not even a master, but fortunately she follows the young lady to read and write, which can help the young lady do something.

Alas, in the end, she still couldn't understand Miss. Even if you want to be an official, why bother to clean up the mess in Qingfeng County? It's a thankless job.

Wen Zhesang glanced at Ma San, "There are so many people coming here today, thanks to the propaganda of these people. ”

Dongxue didn't understand, but Ma San understood Wen Zhesang's words, and he suddenly had a bitter face, and he was not angry in his heart, but he was begging for mercy on his lips, "My lord...... Adults forgive sins, and the small ones are momentarily obsessed with ghosts, so they misunderstand adults! ”

He admitted his mistake lightly, remembering that Wen Zhesang said that he would not want their lives, and asked boldly: "I don't know what the adults are going to do with the little ones?" ”

Anyway, if you want to die, you have to die, so it's better to have a good time! Ma San thought so.

Wen Zhesauna took the list of Dongxue's registration and looked at it, and there were only thirty-seven people here, and after a preliminary look, there were less than ten suitable people. Now Qingfeng County is an empty shell, catching fast, soaping, concierge, etc., all have to be re-recruited.

Not to mention that there are layers of screening, which is really a big task. Moreover, most of the ordinary people in Qingfeng County are illiterate, and even if they post notices, it is impossible to send people to read to them every day.

In this way, Ma San and the others will be useful.

Wen Zhesang put down the list and said: "This official has just taken office, and he does not want to treat the people with heavy punishments. It just so happens that this official needs a few people who can speak the truth, and your punishment is to memorize this notice, and set aside an hour every day to spread the news that the yamen is going to recruit and arrest quickly, and the soap is widespread. Several of you supervise each other, if anyone disobeys the law or cheats and cheats, just report to the official, and the whistleblower will be rewarded. ”

Ma San and the others looked at each other, a little moved, and because they were used to being gangsters, seeing Wen Zhesang's heavy punishment, they inevitably wanted to get more benefits.

One person put on a distressed look, "Adults, it's not that the little ones are unwilling, but this hour...... The little ones have to do work during the day! The time lost ......"

Wen Zhesang understood that this person wanted benefits, and sneered, "This is a punishment, so you have to pick and choose?" "These people are all idle gangsters, isn't it a waste of time to gamble in the yamen all day long?

The person who spoke shrunk his neck, and saw several guards with cold faces around him, and did not dare to speak again.

Seeing this, Ma San snorted in his heart, but his face showed sorrow, "The adult is angry, and Dazhu has a bad brain." But adults, you see that the little ones don't know a single big word, where can you understand what is written on the notice? Not to mention that you have to memorize it, the little ones really can't do anything! ”

At this point, Wen Zhesang saw the cheekiness of several people, she raised her hand and called a guard over, and said, "Well, from today onwards, you will follow Wen Shi to memorize the words on the notice." The official only gives you two days, and if you still can't remember it after two days and refuse to accept the punishment, then you will only be in prison. ”

Wen Shisheng, who was called by Wen Zhesang, was five big and three thick, and his face was also fierce, and as soon as he stood in front of Ma San and a few people, they were silent. Full bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard.

Wen Shi took a notice and led a few people to the corner of the courtyard.

The peach tree in the corner had not yet bloomed, and the wind was a little cold. Wen Zhesang read some files in the study, and then went out, and several people who were taught to read by Wen Shi stood staggered, each in a straight shape. Then Wen Shi glared, and the people hurriedly stood up again.

Dongxue also saw it, and asked her puzzledly: "The adults want them to remember the notice, just let Wen Xiannian a few times, why do you need to work so hard?" ”

Wen Zhesang replied, "It is always beneficial to know a few more words." ”

At noon, Wen Zhesang gave Ma San and the others an hour to spare them to go home for dinner. After half a morning of torture, those people regarded the yamen as hell, and when they heard that they could go home, they rushed to the door.

Wen Zhesang noticed that there was a young man among them, who was in much better condition than the others, not only did he not rush to run, but he reluctantly peeked at Wen Shi, who taught them to read, and seemed to be very unsatisfied.

Wen Zhesang's curiosity came, and he beckoned to him: "Zhao Er, come and talk." ”

"Huh? I? Zhao Er was excited, and threw a look at the few people crowded at the door for help, but those people seemed to be afraid that Wen Zhesang would stop them, so they forced them out of the door.

Zhao Er was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and go over, "What's the matter with the big man shouting the little one?" ”

Wen Zhesang said: "It's nothing, just ask how many words you knew in the morning?" ”

Zhao Er scratched his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's just, it's just two or three, I just recognize it, and I can't write it yet." ”

"Practice a few more times, and you will naturally write." Wen Zhesang twisted the ink on his sleeve, "I see that you seem to like Wen Shi a lot, is he teaching well?" ”

"No, no, no, no!" Zhao Er was embarrassed, he waved his hand again and again, for fear that Wen Zhisang would misunderstand, and said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "The little one has studied for a few years before and knows some words. Later, I had a younger brother, and the younger brother was smart, so the family provided the younger brother to study. I, the little one, didn't read it. ”

That's what happened. No wonder Zhao Er has been strange since yesterday, it turns out that he has understood his documents from the beginning.

Wen Zhesang said with a smile: "It seems that you like to read and write, after memorizing this notice, if you still want to be literate, just find Wen to pick it up." This official will open this small stove for you. ”

Her smile was very gentle, and Zhao Er felt a little hot on her face in a trance. He rubbed the hem of his clothes, not daring to look at Wen Zhesang, "Small, small, thank you." The little ones go first, go first! ”

He hurriedly ran out of the yamen, and then pressed his throbbing chest, thinking to himself, this county order seems to be really much better than Wang De. At least, Wang De doesn't care if the people under his rule want to study or not.

After Zhao Er left, Dong Xue also went into the kitchen to work. Wen Zhesang smelled the smell of food wafting from the kitchen, and for no reason thought of Xie Yikou who was lying in the medical hall.

"Winter snow, take two meals separately and send them to the hospital in a while."

"Yes, sir." The sound of winter snow came from the kitchen.

After a while, Wen Zhesang carried a food box and led Wen Zhi to the medical hall. Fortunately, the medical hall is not far from the yamen, and I went to deliver food and came back, and I was able to catch up with the hot food.

It was still a little cold at the beginning of February, but the wind in my face carried the smell of wet grass, like I had just woken up a group of little ones who were sleeping lazily and were about to wake up the flowers.

When they arrived at the hospital, Xie Yikou and Wen Yan really hadn't eaten yet. However, at this time, what made Wen Zhesang care more was Xie Yikou's brother, a man who called himself Jiang Weixi.

According to Wen Yan, the man arrived after she left the hospital in the morning. Jiang Weixi doesn't look very old, and he is estimated to be weak, he looks good, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the corners of his mouth are naturally raised, whether he is silent or talking and laughing, he gives people a feeling of approachability.

However, there was a scar on the left corner of his forehead and from his left temple, which added some solemnity.

"If I knew your brother was coming, I should have prepared an extra meal." Wen Zhesang put down the food box and got to know Jiang Weixi for a while.

"What is Fei doing that for, he knows how to find food." Xie Yikou unceremoniously pulled the food box over, and as soon as he lifted the lid, a hot aroma came to his face, "Hey, the food in your yamen is so good?" ”

Xie Yikou grinned and laughed, not at all conscious of seriously injuring the patient. Jiang Weixi also followed him, smelled the smell and leaned over, saying that he would have to eat two bites.

As a result, Wen Zhesang had to let Wen Yan go back to the yamen with her for dinner, so that the two brothers could have a good time.

But Wen Zhesang didn't want to watch them eat, he only said that he would let people clean up in the afternoon, and then left with Wen Yan and Wen Zhi.

On the way back to the Yamen, Wen Yan took Jiang Weixi out again and said it again. Xie Yikou was picked up halfway, and judging from his injuries at the time, it is impossible for him to deliberately hurt himself, so as to rely on them. But with Jiang Weixi's sudden appearance, Xie Yikou's identity naturally needs to be paid more attention.

Wen Zhesang also thought of this, but for some reason, she intuitively felt that the two Xie Yikou brothers had no ill will towards her.
