Chapter 126: They Colluded

The last time this concierge saw that Mrs. Wang had a close relationship with their Lord Zhang, he naturally didn't dare to offend, and changed his previous arrogant attitude, and he was so angry that he seemed to be his own relatives.

"Are you Lord Zhang down now?"

Mrs. Wang and they drove for four hours, and now it is the dead of night, and there are few lights on the street, but the county government must be lit with lanterns.

"This ...... Master Zhang is afraid that he will stop. The porter's eyes rolled, "Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?" ”

Mrs. Wang didn't think that Zhang Zhan was asleep now, although their Hujia Village had recovered its vitality and was in full swing to start working, there were still many surrounding villages still in the disaster.

This year's farming has been delayed, Zhang Xian is the biggest official in the county government, and these things that should have been managed by the county order have all fallen into his hands.

At this point, I should still be busy.

Zhang Zhan was indeed busy, and as soon as he finished reading a file, the servant brought in a bowl of chicken soup.

"It's late at night, so let's rest."

"I always feel that these ears are a little hot, you go outside and take a look, is someone looking for me?" Zhang Zhan rubbed his ears and said to the servant casually.

Somehow these days, whenever there is something that he has to deal with, his ears will always have a burst of heat.

The servant answered, and quickly came over to reply: "My lord, there are a few people outside the second gate who claim to be from Hujia Village, saying that they want to see you. ”

As soon as he heard the words of Hujiacun, Zhang Zhan felt that his eyelids jumped.

Thinking of this village, Zhang Zhan always has a bad memory, not to mention, the little ancestor is still there.

Speaking of which, it's been so long, and the little ancestor hasn't come back in a hurry, so I think it's a good place to live.

"You call people to the side hall to see if there are any refreshments in the kitchen, greet them first, and I'll go later."

"Yes."

Wang Chuanfu and the others felt that their wife took them directly to the county office, which seemed too reckless.

The adults in the county government are all resting now, even if they don't rest, how can they receive a few mud legs?

You must know that those who are officials are all above the top, even if they are approachable, it is impossible to entertain them so late.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a man dressed as a servant coming from inside, with a faint smile on his face.

Even if it was a servant, the clothes he wore were much better than theirs.

"Several, please come in."

The old lady said to the servant, "My son who is not angry cannot get up, so please drive the donkey cart to where to put it first, and let him stay on it." ”

Wang Chuangui: "......" is really a mother!

The smile on the servant's face froze.

What's the matter with this man? I came to visit the adults, and I brought a person who was not good at walking.

You say, "It's not a problem for me to push people to the barn."

"I'll send someone to take care of it, don't worry." The servant had no choice but to say.

Mrs. Wang took Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman into the county office, and the two sons were a little trembling, although the buildings in the county government were not magnificent, but they were much better than the small houses in their village, and they were not a grade higher than those high-rise buildings on the street.

The servant took them to the side hall, served them refreshments, and went to beckon to arrange Wang Chuangui's affairs.

"Wait here for a while, bring someone later."

Mrs. Wang: "Go and get busy, don't worry about us." ”

It just so happened that she was tired from the journey, so she was resting now.

The servant smiled and turned away.

"Mother, why don't we go back, let's find a few people by ourselves and teach those matchmakers a lesson." Wang Chuanfu was a little stunned, and whispered to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang ignored him.

Wang Chuanman was curious, how did Mrs. Wang get to this county office, as if she was going home.

"Mother, do you know that Master Zhang?"

Mrs. Wang: "Not earlier than you met." ”

The people in the village already knew that Zhang Zhan was the person they had saved before, but they only thought that he was an ordinary official.

I don't know how big an official Zhang Zhan is.

In fact, Mrs. Wang didn't know, but she could probably guess that at least now she can speak and do the Lord.

"When we see Master Zhang, what are we going to say? Did you tell him what it was? But the matchmaker's business is just a mouth, what can we do? This is also a question that the brothers have been thinking about for a long time.

In their opinion, those matchmakers don't seem to do anything else except for talking nonsense, do adults still care what you say?

If you go to the official and say that the matchmaker is ruining the reputation of others outside, it seems a bit of a fuss.

Mrs. Wang seemed to smile: "Don't underestimate the power of a mouth, how many people have been defeated by this mouth." ”

Wang Chuanman wanted to ask again, but Mrs. Wang had already lowered her head to drink tea, the tea in this county government was at least much better than what they casually brewed with honeysuckle, and it was also better than mint leaves.

Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman were still thinking about it, and Mrs. Wang had already eaten half of the refreshments.

They didn't take anything to eat with them, and now the old lady was hungry.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhan finally finished the matter at hand, and then remembered that there were still people waiting, so he hurriedly went to the side hall.

As a result, I saw two people sitting upright on the chair, and an old lady with gray hair, who actually tilted her body and turned her head away, and fell asleep on the chair.

At first glance, Zhang Zhan thought that people were dying there, and he was almost so frightened that his heart fell out.

"Mother, my lord is here." When Wang Chuanfu saw Zhang Zhan, he hurriedly called Mrs. Wang up.

Zhang Zhan originally thought that it was estimated that it was someone from the old Wang family, sure enough.

"Aunt Wang, why did you come so late at night?"

Old Lady Wang stood up, her face was extremely serious: "Lord Zhang, this is actually very bad for you to bother, but I think this matter is very important, and I still have to let you know." ”

"Recently, there are many people in our Nanhe Town who are spreading evil things, old woman, I found out after many inquiries that the other party is actually a group of matchmakers colluding with Taoist priests."

Zhang Zhan looked surprised, the matchmaker colluded with the Taoist priest?

What is this again?

Even Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman couldn't help but open their mouths wide, what is my mother talking about?

Mrs. Wang continued: "Matchmakers are not official, they are all private organizations, and of course Taoist priests are also wild Taoists, and they have not been officially registered. ”

"Everyone is in awe of the officials, but they trust the matchmaker very much, after all, the matchmaker has a lot of power in her hands, and the marriage of each family depends on the matchmaker's face. In addition, everyone's respect for the Taoist priest comes more from the fear of the gods. ”

"The common people don't have the ability to distinguish, old woman, I still heard on the way to escape the famine, if the local matchmaker and Taoist priests really collude, then they really want to cover the sky with one hand!"

Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman understood the first few sentences, but the latter ones were confused.

But Zhang Zhan understood.

"Aunt Wang, do you mean to say that someone is taking advantage of the people's feelings and ignoring the people? Outrageous! ”
