Li Changhe put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and at the same time took away the prayer post written by Fang Yue, and took it into the wing room of the sixth room of the county government to roast the fire, after all, the ink of the freshly written prayer post has not dried, and it is not possible to dry it without fire.

The old official in the lobby had woken up from his slumber and was staring at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue waited for a while, and Li Changhe came out of the west wing room with the greeting post for drying ink.

"You give the prayer note to the doorman in the house room behind the lobby, and he will pass it on to you." Li Changhe handed the greeting note to Fang Yue.

Fang Yue thanked him and walked to the back of the lobby with the greeting post.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw a middle-aged man with fish bubble eyes sitting listlessly on a chair, which should be the doorman on duty at the county office. Fang Yue walked up to him, but he didn't even notice it.

"Excuse me." Fang Yue said loudly.

When the man heard the voice, he was startled, and his whole body was so agitated that he almost jumped up.

Fang Yue was a little speechless, as for such a big reaction?

"What for? Any idea what this place is? That Menzi also seemed to feel a little embarrassed by being taken aback, and glared at Fang Yuedao.

Fang Yue handed over the greeting post in his hand and said: "Fang Yue, who is a talent in Xiaben County, came to ask to see the county honor, it is a matter of the East China Sea Haikou, please help spread the word." ”

"Oh, I'm here to see my lord." Menzi's drooping eyelids lit up suddenly, as if he hadn't seen the greeting post handed over by Fang Yue, and went to pick up the two packets of medicine in his hand.

Fang Yue coughed twice and said indifferently: "There is poison in it." ”

Menzi was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and said in surprise: "What are you doing with poison?" ”

Fang Yue smiled and said nothing, Menzi reacted that the other party was scaring him, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he thought that this was a gift from Fang Yue to the county order, which was likely to be a precious tonic, of course, it might not be a medicinal material at all, and it was deliberately made into a medicine bag.

Menzi's greedy gaze lingered on the two packets of medicine in Fang Yue's hand, but he didn't reach out to take it anymore.

Fang Yue knew that this was probably a misunderstanding, these two packets of medicine were sulfur and saltpeter, which he had just bought at the Ren family's big pharmacy, because he temporarily thought of the possibility of the East China Sea Haikou breaking the city, so he hurried to the county office, so he brought them together.

He just said that the medicine bag is poison, but it is not a lie, a small amount of sulfur and saltpeter can be used to treat diseases, but such two bags of sulfur and saltpeter, if someone dares to eat it, it will definitely eat the dead, and it is not wrong to say that it is poison.

Fang Yue handed the prayer post over again, and Menzi took the prayer post, but he stood still, and a pair of fish bubble eyes looked straight at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue frowned slightly, and reacted that the other party was asking for benefits, and if he didn't give benefits, he wouldn't pass them on.

He took out a string of copper coins from his arms, about 100 wen, and stuffed them into Menzi's hand, "Please also help pass it on." ”

Menzi took the money, but still stood still.

The tip was given, but he didn't do anything, which made Fang Yue a little impatient, and said, "I don't know what else is going on?" “

Menzi drooped his eyelids and said with a haha: "Master Xiucai is inevitably a little unkind, doesn't he look down on the small?" ”

Fang Yue paused for a moment, almost thinking that the other party was refusing to bribe, but Menzi's next sentence came immediately, "This is too little, there is no meat, at least give the little one some soup." ”

As he spoke, Menzi's gaze swept over the two packets of medicine that Fang Yue was holding in his hand.

Fang Yue was annoyed in his heart, knowing that the other party was disgusted with the small amount of money given, he could tolerate the other party's tipping, but he couldn't bear the other party's insatiable greed.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no money left, and he can't feed the greedy gluttony in front of him.

He came to visit the county order, originally for the matter of the East China Sea Haikou, related to the lives of the people of Ping'an County, the purpose is undoubtedly just and glorious, no matter how you want to be blocked at this door, you can't enter the door.

Fang Yue had already indicated his identity as a Xiucai, and also mentioned that it was about the East China Sea Haikou, but the other party ignored it, only silver taels in his eyes, and a disciple dared to be so arrogant, Fang Yue was annoyed in his heart, and almost couldn't help but want to brush his sleeves away.

I just thought that the purpose of my visit to the county order this time was related to the lives of the people of Ping'an County.

Fang Yue laughed angrily and said, "I want to see Lord County, it's not what you think of to give gifts and ask for things, but it's about the East China Sea Haikou." Now that the East China Sea Haikou harasses us in the coastal waters of Ping'an County, making the people's lives miserable, the county must be extremely concerned about this matter, this is a serious matter, and you can't afford to delay it. ”

Menzipi smiled and said: "Master Xiucai, the little ones don't understand these big things." You come to ask to see our master, I will help inform you, this is a responsibility, if the master is not happy, the small one will be scolded and punished. So shouldn't the little ones get some hard-earned money? ”

In my heart, I secretly thought that these scholars are really funny, who are they scaring in the name of serving the country and the people.

Fang Yue frowned and said, "Isn't that string of money enough?" ”

Menzi said: "Master Xiucai, you really don't know the suffering of the people, that string of money is only a hundred yuan, what is enough?" The little one left his hometown and followed his master to Ping'an County to take up his post, and there are wives and children waiting to be raised at home. ”

Fang Yue didn't expect this sect to be so difficult to ask for money, it was really the king of Hades who was so difficult to mess with.

If he has enough money, he doesn't want to be entangled with a man here, be pinched by villains, and suffer from this pickling.

However, Fang Yue calmed down at this time, and said: "If you don't pass it on, return that string of money to me, I'm a showman, and I still have a chance to see the county honor." ”

Menzi's face changed, he squeezed the string of money in his hand tightly, and hid it behind him, how could he return the money when the money was in his hand, that was his money, and it was more uncomfortable to pay him back than digging his ancestral grave.

Fang Yue lowered his face and said in a fierce voice: "What's the matter, don't you want to pay it back?" Then don't blame me for making trouble, the county should be in the back house, and the county will definitely hear it, I want to see the county anyway, but I can see it then, and I don't have to bother you to raise your noble feet to pass it on. I'm a showman, and the county respects me at most, what else can I do. And—"

Fang Yue deliberately lifted the two packets of medicine bags in his hand, "I have a big deal to find the county honor, if the county lord thinks that my big thing is big enough, he won't blame me." It's you, who received the money and didn't pass it on, and made an accident, so noisy that the whole yamen knew that you came from your hometown with the county lord, representing the face of the county lord, and the county lord felt that you were not doing things well, so he was embarrassed, but you have good fruit to eat? ”

Menzi's face changed greatly, he only followed Hu Zhixian to Ping'an County a few months ago, he is a hardcore Zhixian faction, Hu Zhixian has an unstable foothold in the county government of Ping'an County, and there are many people in the county government who want to see their jokes, and he will indeed suffer a big loss when he makes trouble.

And with his understanding of Hu Zhixian, his eyes swept over the two packets of medicine in Fang Yue's hand, and he really wouldn't necessarily protect him at that time.

Seeing that what he said just now had an effect, Fang Yue softened his tone and said, "It's better to pass it on, that string of money is yours, and I naturally won't ask for it." And if things go well, there will be much more benefits to you afterwards than that string of money. ”

Fang Yue did not hesitate to promise a blank check, the momentum of the door was taken away by him, he was dizzy for a while, he felt that he was very reasonable, and said: "I'll go and report to our master, I can't guarantee that he won't see you, you just stay here, don't walk around." ”

After that, he took the prayer post and went to the back house.
