drizzle,

Li Changan helped the old man to send him home.

On the way, an errand from the Southern Patrol Town Governor Department sent an oil-paper umbrella.

Li Changan held an umbrella and said to the old man beside him, "Old man, tell me about Zhang County's order." ”

The old man walked quite easily, and thanked Li Changan again and again for holding an umbrella for him, and then recalled,

"The old man has lived in Zewu County all his life, and Master Zhang is the best parent official I have ever met."

"I remember that before Master Zhang came to Zewu County, those officials in the county were preparing gifts one by one."

"Even we, the ordinary people, were asked to give a welcome salute."

"Greeting?" It was the first time Li Changan had heard such a statement.

The old man nodded, "We are already used to it here, and other counties are similar." ”

"In order to shoot the county magistrate's sycophancy, sending a welcome salute can make the county magistrate's impression of us better."

"It can be regarded as a ...... for the county magistrate to pick up the wind and wash the dust."

Li Changan couldn't help but shake his head and sneered, "This is interesting." ”

The old man sighed, "Originally, the big guys were all ready, but at that time, the old man was carrying a grass carp and was squeezed to the front. ”

"Lord Zhang took his wife and children to take office, but he didn't accept our welcome salute."

"Not only did we not accept the gifts of those officials, but we didn't even ask for the welcome salute of our people."

"In the end, I couldn't stand everyone's three or four invitations, so I could only accept the old man's grass carp, but I stuffed ten cents."

Li Changan nodded secretly.

The old man continued, "Everyone thought that Master Zhang loved fish, so they all started to think about getting fish. ”

"As a result, after Master Zhang went back, he didn't eat the fish."

"Instead, he hung the fish at the door of his yard and let the grass carp turn into dried fish."

"This is a way to tell everyone that we will never accept gifts from anyone."

"At that time, everyone was secretly calling Master Zhang, called Hangyu County Order."

Li Changan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that Zhang County Commander had done it to such an extent.

Once the superior shows a certain preference, the people below will unconsciously make a move to cater to the preference.

If you don't hang this fish, I'm afraid it will really become a mullet fish.

The old man seemed to open the conversation,

"Another time, Master Zhang went out to ask for wheat seeds, and finally spent ten taels of silver, and finally bought a pound of wheat seeds."

"The big guy heard about it and wanted to give him the silver, after all, Lord Zhang has always been relatively poor, and these ten taels of silver are a lot of expenses."

So he gathered together a hundred taels of silver, and all the broken silver and copper coins.

"But Lord Zhang, I don't take a penny."

"The big guy is desperate to give him the silver, Lord Zhang picks up the three coins from the pile of copper coins, and returns the rest to us."

"In the end, the three coins are still embedded in a stone tablet."

Li Changan's heart moved slightly, "Is that the Sanwen Tablet?" ”

The old man nodded, and there seemed to be a little sparkle in his dim eyes, "It was the first time I planted wheat at that time. ”

"It's still Lord Zhang who goes down to the ground with us."

"In order to curry favor with the lottery, Mr. Zhang erected a stele, and the three pennies he took at that time were embedded in the stele to commemorate the wheat planting in Zewu County."

Li Changan helped the old man to step into the threshold and put away the oil-paper umbrella.

The old man said nostalgically,

"Lord Zhang also said something at the time, and the big guy still remembers it."

"He said, the Tao has a saying, the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things."

"I hope that these three monuments can protect the wheat ears and the family in Zewu County."

Hearing this, Li Changan's heart trembled violently, this was the first Qing official he had seen in Dajin who was so considerate of the people.

In this filthy Dajin officialdom, it is really unimaginable.

When the old man got home, he began to wash rice and prepare porridge.

"I still remember that three years ago, Lord Zhang's wife died of illness, but at that time, Lord Zhang had already spent all his savings for Zewu County, and he couldn't even bury him."

"In the end, the big guy knew the news, put together a coffin, and helped Master Zhang to bury his wife."

"At that time, Lord Zhang couldn't cry silently, and the entire Zewu County was dressed in white that day."

"Later, Mr. Zhang took the last bit of Botian in his hometown, and returned the pawned silver to everyone."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, unable to speak, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

After a long time, the old man calmed down his excitement, and asked in a choked and hoarse voice, "Master Li, you say, is an official like Lord Zhang a good official?" ”

Li Changan nodded silently, finding that everything he said was extremely pale, and finally assured the old man, "Don't worry, old man, I will investigate this case." ”

"Please also ask the old man to talk to the big guy, as long as there are any clues, you can find me at any time."

"I don't live in the county government for the past three days, just find a place to live in a house near here, everyone can find me at any time, and you don't have to worry about being stopped."

The old man nodded busily, and clasped his fist towards Li Changan.

Li Changan left the old man's house, and after a while, a few people who looked like ordinary people came over, "Lord, thirty members of the spy department have arrived in Zewu County. ”

Li Changan nodded, pretended to greet him cordially, and said, "Go deep into these people and understand Zhang Weimin's situation." ”

"In addition, check that Zhang Weimin has a lot of money every year, why didn't he even have any money for his wife to bury in the end?"

"Some people don't have any brains, and some people think that everyone in the world is dirty, and they don't believe that there will be good officials who work for the well-being of the people."

"Take out these evidence, I'm going to make sure those guys can't let out a fart."

"Yes." A few spies nodded, and they dispersed one after another.

Li Changan returned to the county office, asked people to find a place for himself to have no people's house, and then moved over.

didn't bring a single soldier, and even the errand of the Southern Patrol Town Governor didn't bring it.

"What are you doing, Senator?" Song Siren asked in surprise.

"It seems to be investigating the case of the county order." Feng Budo stood with his chest crossed, "It is estimated that I am worried that I am in the county government, and many people dare not come to report." ”

"So he moved to the people's house, and the people could go to him whenever they wanted to."

Zeng Shicai looked at Li Changan's back, his eyes were complicated.

This can be regarded as the existence of a brother in the same sect.

In just these short periods, it has brought him quite a shock.

Sure enough, the bones were harder than rumored.

Even in the face of the Sanpin Confucianism and Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, they were all fearless, and still insisted on interrogating the fourteen chief officials of Yunyang County.

They were even condemned to death.

With this courage alone, among his peers, he can't even find a second one.

……

Li Changan lived in a private house and sat in the courtyard of the house, and the courtyard door was wide open.

There is a wooden sign hanging in the doorway.

There are five words written on it, Li Changan is here.

Then he began to re-read the files sorted out by Feng Budo and others, while waiting for news.

There is news from both the spy department and the people.

Feng Budo also checked some people, but when he looked at the file carefully, he only asked him roughly and did not study it in detail.

Zhang Weimin's case is investigated from top to bottom, and I am afraid that nothing can be found.

The crux of this case can only be found among the people.

——————

Concentrate:

Zhang Weimin's three stories are all stories of ancient Qing officials.

They are hanging fish too much to keep the sheep continuing; One money is too guarded by Liu Pet; Diantian buried his wife Sima Guang.

But all of them have been modified, especially the Sanwen Monument, which has basically been changed, but the source of the idea is that one money is too guarded.

Pay tribute to the Qing officials from ancient times to the present.
