Qingshui Town.

A courtyard not far from the county yamen.

From time to time, the courtyard heard the sound of reading and reading.

At this time, a scholar in Tsing Yi was wandering outside the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand.

I looked up at the plaque on the door.

Li Xian gritted his teeth and paced behind the door with his head down.

Since the last time his father was deceived and blatantly defrauded of jewelry worth three hundred taels, his heart was full of torment.

If I hadn't left in a hurry at that time, I would have left later.

I hope that the three hundred taels of silver will not be deceived.

You must know that his private school gentleman's income for half a year is only a dozen taels of broken silver.

It's a fantasy to make up enough for these three hundred taels.

What's more, because of his own negligence a while ago, he was deceived by the shopkeeper in the sake restaurant by the second designer of the official silver of one hundred taels.

The two are superimposed, which is more than four hundred taels.

Every time Li Xian thought about it, he felt very angry.

It is said that eating a trench grows a wisdom.

I don't know what bad luck I and my father have been doing for eight lifetimes recently, and their belongings have been deceived one after another.

After a cup of tea.

Li Xian tidied up his clothes.

He shook the folding fan in his hand slightly, making his facial expression look warm and natural.

Turned to look at the wooden door in front of him.

There was a slight tap.

"It's been two days since Chun'er, and today I see that when my private school is over, I invite you to go to the sake restaurant and sit down."

Li Xian's voice was gentle, after all, inside the wooden door was his wife, who had a marriage contract with him.

The door did not open, and a slightly indifferent woman's voice came from inside for a while:

"Li Xian! Don't come to me in the future.

My father said, "If your family can't come up with a bride price of five hundred taels, don't think about marrying me." ”

Lee Hyun's smile stiffened slightly.

Five hundred taels of his father, Li Yu, was still ready for him.

After all, it is a dowry for inheritance.

It's just that in the past few days, he has been deceived by strangers for four hundred taels of silver.

At this time, even if they sold all the valuable things of their Li family, they would not be able to scrape together enough silver taels.

"Chun'er's matter is our fault, but I still hope that you and your father-in-law will talk more and give him a few days of grace.

I, Li Xian, have always done what I said.

promised to pay a bride price of five hundred taels, and there will be no less ..... when the time comes."

Don't wait for Li Xian to finish speaking.

The woman's voice behind the door interrupted it:

"Humph! Daddy told me that what men pay attention to when they go out is integrity.

You must have paid five hundred taels of silver three days ago.

It has been dragged on until now.

Daddy said he wasn't your father-in-law.

And don't call me Chun'er from now on.

I'm not that close to you.

I have my own name, my name is "Chun'e" ......."

The time to come.

No matter how Li Xian shouted, the door would not open.

This couldn't help but make him smile bitterly.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and Miss Chun'e also had to draw a line with him?

Thinking of it again, Li Zhixian demanded the posture of the one hundred taels of silver.

Li Xian only felt physically and mentally haggard.

I'm just a scholar, where did I get so much silver?

The day passed quickly.

Li Xian didn't have much to think about the private school at all.

The children were playing and playing, and he didn't have time to take care of them.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, he hurriedly packed up and hurried home.

Along the way, Li Xian didn't pay attention to the pedestrians around him, and walked forward with his head bored.

Maybe it's going too fast.

"Bump!" A bang.

Lee Hyun-ji felt like he had hit a hard object.

Rubbing his sore nose, he said resentfully:

"That walk doesn't ......"

Halfway through the words, Li Xian couldn't say any more.

He recognized that the carriage in front of him was beautifully decorated, and the wood was still made of fine Guannan wood.

At first glance, this style is not something that ordinary people can afford to sit on.

The carriage stopped, and one hand lifted the curtains.

When Li Xian saw the people in the car, he immediately hurriedly saluted and bowed:

"Greetings to you, Li Zhixian, I didn't know this was an adult's carriage just now, please forgive me!"

Li Zhixian's fat body twisted and waved his hand absently.

"Li Xian, come up and talk."

Seeing the invitation of the magistrate, Li Xian did not dare to refuse, so he had to enter the carriage hard.

This type of vehicle is the first time he has come into contact with it.

I have also been in a carriage on weekdays, but it is all made of stone and wood, and it is very bumpy.

But the carriage of Li Zhixian is uniquely decorated, and soft satin is laid everywhere.

Even in the center of the carriage was half-eaten wine and meat.

After getting into the car, Li Xian was sitting in danger, for fear that the other party would open his mouth to mention the matter of the one hundred taels of official silver.

But soon Li Xian put his mind at ease, and the magistrate didn't talk about Guanyin, but chatted with him without a word.

"Li Xian, what do you think of this Qingshui Town?"

Li Zhixian looked at the scholar in front of him with a smile.

Li Xian complimented:

"Lord Hui, the people of Qingshui Town live and work in peace and contentment, everything is in order, I once heard me say that no one has beaten the "drum of grievances" in Qingshui Town for almost two years! ”

Li Zhixian rubbed his stomach with a smile and said:

"Alas~

Look at what you readers say, I just love to listen.

It's just that you're not an official, and you don't know my troubles.

This official has served in Qingshui Town for more than ten years, and at the beginning, the "drum of grievances" would ring non-stop every few days.

I am also busy with daily work.

It wasn't until a wizard came up with a proposal that it got a little better. ”

Although Li Xian was quite interested in the wizards in the mouth of the magistrate, he complimented him in his mouth:

"I think it must be an adult, for the officials to be upright, to live a simple life, for the sake of the people everywhere, so that Qingshui Town can be so peaceful....."

Li Zhixian laughed:

"You don't need to say much about this official's reputation, don't you want to know the plan of that 'wizard'?

At that time, there were many unjust cases in Qingshui Town, and there were many headless cases.

Your father, "Dog Leftover", came to the door in person late at night to propose.

Say! Since it is a headless case, since it is an unjust case, we can't find it, and we can't solve it, so we can only "execute" the people who beat the drum and cry out for injustice.

Qingshui Town is naturally stable. ”

Li Zhixian said as he picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth:

"Don't say it, this method really works wonders.

Since that day, it has gone from every few days to a few times a month, then a few times a year, and so on until two years ago to the present.

Qingshui Town never beat the drum again!

To reward your dad for such remarkable deeds.

I gave him the surname Li.....

And your father has officially changed his name, Li Yu.....

But in my heart, he will always be, Li Gou! ”

Li Xian looked at the magistrate in front of him dumbfounded.

An inexplicable palpitation, as well as inexplicable complex emotions grew in his heart.

Li Zhixian didn't care, stretched out his hand and gently put it on the scholar's shoulder, and said:

"It's not easy for you to study, why don't you help me go somewhere and steal something?"
