Reading guide: Master Zou wants to do the handover, the number one master ignores it, there is a respectful saying here.

The two county halls drank tea and talked, and the two masters were already twisted together.

Zou Ye suddenly attacked, and the number one turned defeat into victory, and the county magistrate's yamen became a martial arts platform. The six-grade top wears Wang Rui's majesty, and the seven-grade Laozhou County does not dare not hand over the seal.

Wanmin umbrella has never been seen, and the local squire does not come to deliver it, which is just that. With great effort, three truckloads of money were looted, but it was all over the place overnight!

Zhixian defeated Yueyang City, and stayed at the warehouse with tears in his eyes; Since ancient times, officialdom has been like this, and there is no infamy behind a few people!

Hu Xuan, with the governor's yamen message, rushed to Hengzhou in a hurry to ask Zeng Guofan.

Hu Outline is the acting magistrate of Yueyang County, his predecessor is Luo Zenan, and his successor is Wang Rui. On the day Wang Rui arrived in Yueyang, he handed over the office with this Huzhi County. Because it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, according to Hu's idea, the festival of the Dragon Boat Festival will be accepted before leaving. But Wang Rui had no accommodation, and on the day he arrived, he asked Master Zou, who came with him, to force Master Hu to hand over the account books, and he was not allowed to delay for a moment.

The master of Hu Outline was originally Hu's brother-in-law, who was not only the housekeeper for his brother-in-law, but also the master of the yamen, and he was a character who said the same. A group of errand officials and officials in the yamen called him the number one master behind his back, and he was very hard.

Wang Rui and Hu Outline were drinking tea and talking in the signing room, and Master Zou was ordered by Wang Rui to come to the "number one master" alone to ask for account books.

The festival of the Dragon Boat Festival, the "number one lord" has already pulled out a list for his brother-in-law: how much should the county take, how much should the history should take, and how much should be taken by the general officials and officials, all of which are listed clearly and without any difference. After receiving the money, he put up a cover and handed it back to the province. Because the message of the feudal lord has been delivered, a new commissioner is coming. The "number one boss" thought that the arrival of the new official would have to wait until after the holiday anyway. But the sky is not beautiful, and at this critical moment, Wang Rui arrived. The heart of the number one lord is inevitably not very happy.

When Master Zou saw the "number one master", the "number one" was smoking hookah and drinking tea in his room, frowning and thinking about the festival.

Seeing Master Zou coming in, he just cocked his buttocks, which was regarded as a greeting.

Master Zou sat down, looked around with his eyes, and said, "It's neatly packed, what about the account books, let's do the handover." ”

"Number One" put down the hookah, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before saying, "Do you want to do the handover?" This requires my eldest master to speak. Without his old words, I can't do anything with you. ”

Master Zou didn't say a word, snatched the tea bowl and smashed it, grabbed the number one braid, pulled him out of bed frantically, and scolded in his mouth: "Let you serve the shelf!" Let you hold a big shelf! I'll tear your shelves to shreds! ”

"Number One" was pressed to the ground, he couldn't breathe, his face was red, his mouth was whining, and he couldn't hear why.

Master Zou still didn't give up, and asked: "***, you don't know my name, you should have heard of Master Wang's name!" In Hunan Province, he said that he would do the handover today, who would dare to say that he would do it again? Hurry up and get the account books, settle them clearly, and get out of your mother's ball! Otherwise, go down to the water prison and drown alive! ”

After Master Zou finished speaking, he kicked the number one butt hard, and then loosened the braid.

"Number One" gasped for breath for a long time before he struggled to get up, secretly estimated his opponent, and suddenly put his head on Master Zou's stomach, pushing Master Zou to a corner.

"Number One" scolded: "Your mother's thief! You're a master, and I'm not an ordinary servant! Should I fight you? Today, I'm out of the way, just to meet you highs and lows! It's a big deal, a life for a life! ”

Master Zou never expected that the "number one" would be so good, and he was a little panicked at the moment, but he was unconvinced: "Okay!" If you *** want to go against the sky, I will fulfill you! If I don't get you to stop, I'll take your last name! ”

Although Master Zou screamed happily, his body couldn't move.

At this time, "Number One" freed up his hand again, grabbed Master Zou's braid fiercely, and scolded: "I want your dog's life!" Rip your dog's tail off and throw it in the stove to boil water to drink! My lord hasn't handed over the seal yet, so it's not your turn to be majestic! ”

Master Zou was also in a hurry, so he suddenly raised his knees and angrily shook his head at the "number one". "Number One" didn't guard against him, and was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged. The distance between the two people was inadvertently widened.

Master Zou took advantage of the moment when the "number one" could not take care of the bottom, and kicked between the legs of the "number one".

This kick was just right, impartial, and hit three inches below the "number one" dantian.

"Number one" screamed, and as soon as his hand was loosened, his waist bent down.

Master Zou was about to start, and two officials hurriedly ran in, one grabbed Master Zou, and the other came to help the "number one".

As soon as the "number one" saw the arrival of the savior, he couldn't help but shout: "He took my life, he took my life!" You don't want to beat him out for me! ”

To this extent, it is impossible for the sound to not reach the signing room.

Hu Xuan hurriedly ran over, followed by Wang Rui with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Hu Xuan saw his brother-in-law squatting on the ground and humming, he hurriedly bent down and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Is it hurt? It was fine just now, how did you get started? ”

"Number one" pointed at Master Zou and said, "If you want to recognize me as a brother, quickly ask someone to send him to prison!" Peel him off! Pumping his muscles! ”

Wang Rui asked Master Zou, "Old Zou, what happened?" How did you hit one place? ”

Master Zou said: "Master Rongyu, I will hand over to him according to your old instructions. This ***, he not only ignored it, but also pretended to be a master! ,, he dares to disobey the system of the imperial court, is this worth it? ”

As soon as Wang Rui heard this, he glared at him, looked at Hu Jian fiercely, and said, "Who dares to be so bold?" Master Hu, did you tell him to do this? Didn't the imperial court hand over Yueyang County to your Hu family? ”

Hu Xuan hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the system of the imperial court, how dare the lower officials disobey?" ”

Hu Xuan glanced at the two officials and said, "He drank too much wine, why didn't you two stop him?" Pull him out! Tell the cook to make him a bowl of decanting soup. I drank badly all day long, and sooner or later I caused trouble for my lord! See, it's been fulfilled! ”

When the two officials heard this, they hurriedly pushed the "number one" out.

The "number one" was not convinced first, and refused to leave with a scolding grin. Wang Rui shouted: "First put him in prison in this county and torture him!" He refused to do the handover, obviously because he had done something wrong! How much of a sin is it to dare to sell joints without telling the constitution, and can you pay it back? ”

When Hu Outline saw that Wang Rui was in a hurry, he couldn't care about it, grabbed it in one step, pushed the "number one" out of the door, turned back to Wang Rui and smiled: "My lord, stop being angry!" He drank too much and often went crazy. For this matter, the county is not less worried about him. My lord, let's go to the signing room for tea. When he sobers up, I'll ask him to give you compensation. ”

Wang Rui said: "Lord Hu, it's not that this county doesn't understand human feelings. When the county left the province, Futai gave a special explanation, and the county must receive the seal today. Otherwise, how could the county just arrived at the Yamen, and the bench was not hot, so Lao Zou took the account? This county also has a hard time! You quickly set up an incense case, and we will hand over the seal ribbon now! Lao Zou, all the accounts will be handed over by you. ”

Hu Xuan hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wang, there are some words, how about we go to the signing room alone to talk?" Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, how can a new official force the old one to hand over the account books as soon as he arrives? If it spreads out, it will also hinder your old official reputation, right? ”

Wang Rui sneered and said, "Master Hu, who would dare to disobey Futai's orders?" He always said that if you get the seal today, you have to hand it in today! Do you dare to put it off until tomorrow, do you still want the black yarn on your head? I don't know, this county doesn't want to be involved with you! ”

Seeing that Wang Ruiyi was strict, Hu Xuan didn't dare to go down any further, so he had to say: "What the lord said is that the lower officials will do it." Xiaguan is now ready to hand over the seal, and the other is allowed to hand over the seal. ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, after Hu Outline handed over the seal, he did not rent the house in advance, so he had to return to the city with his family overnight, and the situation was very embarrassing.

When Hu Xuan arrived at the wharf, he thought that the local squire could organize a few people to buy a few Wanmin umbrellas and come to the wharf to give him a gift. After getting off the sedan chair, not to mention the umbrella of the people, the local squire did not see anyone come out to see him off, and the scolding sounded. Hu Xuan knew that Yue Yang could not stay for a long time, so he hurriedly sent people to hire civilian ships, wanting to leave here as soon as possible, for fear that the delay would be too long and cause trouble.

But the people with him ran for most of the night, and none of them would hire a boat for him. In desperation, I had to temporarily spend the night at the wharf warehouse.

Hu Xuan's family slept until midnight, and the "number one" got up to relieve himself, and he also wanted to take a casual look at the things piled up outside the house. I didn't know that after searching all over the wharf, not only was there no trace of the things looted by the three trucks, but even the people who guarded the things were nowhere to be seen, and I saw that they had been abducted and run away.

The shout of "number one" alarmed Hu Xuan. Hu Gangfei also ran out, and when he saw the white expanse in front of him, he felt his head explode, and Sai was like a Western bubble catapulting in, and he fell to the ground and woke up for a long time. The whole family gathered in the warehouse and cried all night. provoked many fishermen, all poked their heads out of the boat to watch, thinking that it was Huzhi County, which had been plagued by natural plagues, suddenly had an emergency, and they were crying and mourning.

When he arrived in the provincial capital, Hu Jian first borrowed dozens of taels of silver, rented a small house, and settled the family first, and then went to see Xu Youren. Xu Youren briefly asked about the matter of Ren, and encouraged him a few words, and then took him to see Luo Bingzhang. When Luo Bingzhang saw him coming, he made a message on the case and asked him to go to Hengzhou Zeng Guofan's place quickly.

Coming out of the governor's yamen, Hu Jian returned home directly, and saw that the brother-in-law was cleaning up the house with two subordinates, so he said: "Brother, we can't live in the provincial capital for a long time, and the house is not our own." As long as the inside and outside are cleaned up, that's it. ”

"Number one" said: "Xiangyong's general grain station has not yet been established, either in the provincial capital or in Hengzhou. The house is tidy up, even if we don't live in the provincial capital, we don't have to hang it all the time. My brother is old, and he can't bear to go back and forth. ”

Hu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, listen to you, do you have to go far away?" ”

"Number One" hurriedly put down the work in his hand and said, "What you are asking is unreasonable! Aren't we going to Hengzhou? You're already the chief commissar. When you went up to the governor's yamen, I had already asked someone. Xiangyong's grain table is already a seven-grade top; The promotion of the total grain station should be the title of prefect, and at least it is also a five-grade future. If you are promoted, the family will naturally enjoy happiness with you. If I didn't help you inside and out, no matter how big an official you were, you wouldn't be able to sit in prison. ”

After listening to the words of "number one", Hu Xuan did not say anything more, bowed his head and walked into the house. That night, Hu Xuan took the official ship that night, and rushed to Hengzhou with the "number one" and a small servant.

Let's ask: Hu Outline and Wang Rui are both magistrates, why does Hu Outline claim to be a subordinate official?

It turned out that Wang Rui was a six-grade top wearer, and he was transferred from the first county magistrate to the ordinary magistrate; And Hu Outline is the future of Qipin. Regardless of whether Wang Rui is now the first county or an ordinary county, the officials who wear the top of the seven grades must call themselves subordinate officials. This is determined by the system of the Qing Dynasty, not by Hu Gang's self-depreciation. (End of chapter)
