Chapter Forty-Eight: Out of Beijing

So Huizong took a fancy to Ouyang, this guy was too suitable, he didn't want to make the beauty unhappy with a thorn. Ouyang is good, Ouyang is the youngest. Secondly, you can explain to the minister, I will put the champion down, you have nothing to say, right? Moreover, Cai Jing is also the champion, and he has been released for several years, and everything he does is according to the rules. In addition, at present, there is no magistrate who is willing to transfer to Yangping to take office. Looking at Ouyang, he can pat himself on the back and gamble, and he is completely a vocal person. Besides, this guy doesn't know poetry and songs, so it's useless to stay around...... It can be said that Ouyang De's champion also has such a factor.

Bangyan also knows a little poetry, and Tanhua writes very well, plus they both look good, so these two naturally stay in Tokyo.

"Still not grateful?" The official secretary reminded him.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Ouyang knelt down helplessly, he had passed through Yangping and knew what kind of situation it was. This old man Liu's name is Liu Sinu, and as soon as he got his will, he circled the fields everywhere. In the city, it is also a street market. And a cadre of officials and county officials were bribed by him. is like the desolation of the former magistrate, except for his family, he is the only one in the yamen. reacted, but was blamed and incapable, and finally dredged the joints and transferred to another position. Of course, if it weren't for this guy, Ouyang probably wouldn't have a real shortage to put away.

"Tomorrow, you will go to the Ministry of Officials to handle official certificates and fish talismans, and leave Beijing within seven days to take up your post." The official secretary said.

"Yes!"

……

So Ouyang became the first Jinshi to be appointed, and the officials were highly efficient this time, and the next morning, the official certificates, fish charms, official uniforms, etc. were all prepared. Ouyang looked at the official certificate, Ya's, from the seventh grade. He didn't know that the county official was originally an official position of the eighth grade, but Huizong was more humane and mentioned that from the seventh grade, it could be regarded as a little loss to supplement Ouyang. Looking at other people, although they are also from seven or eight, or from eight, they stay in the capital and are promoted quickly. After being promoted, it is placed in the place, and that is a Zhizhou. And in case he is favored by the emperor or ministers, it is not difficult to skip a grade, and if Ouyang wants to be a governor, he must also return to Beijing for further study.

"Yangping County?" Ou Ping also gasped, it was a rotten place. What is the purpose of being an official? It's either money or power, but there's nothing to be gained from that garbage place. In addition, Ouyang has no attachment in the capital, no roots, and he doesn't know when he wants to be transferred back to Beijing. Ou Ping asked, "Young master, are we really going?" ”

"What if you don't go?" Ouyang sighed and said, "Isn't this forcing me to clean up the Liu family?" ”

Ou Ping said while sweating: "Young master, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, and besides, if people have a strong dragon as the backing, we will have two little earthworms." ”

"You are, I'm not, your young master, my face is white." Ouyang smiled: "Don't worry, your young master and I have a lot of means to clean up people, and besides, to be an idle official, it's not bad to get 14 yuan a month for nothing." But...... We've got to dig someone. ”

"Dig whom?"

"Guess."

"En......" Ou Ping thought for a while and said happily: "Zhan Ming, Zhan Catch the head." ”

Ouyang was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect you to guess?" ”

"I think, the young master has brains, and he is not afraid of others coming to Yin, but he is afraid of others coming to Heng. And the young master knows people, so he shows his head-catching martial arts......"

"Your young master is not afraid." It turned out that the blind cat met the dead mouse. Ouyang said: "First, Zhan Catcher is upright. Second, we know the operation of the county government better than we do. Third: Zhan Tou has rich experience and does things in a measured manner. Fourth: In addition to Zhan Hunting Head, I have no place to dig people, do I want to dig your eldest young master? Roll up and get ready to roll out of Tokyo. ”

"Yes, young master."

……

Horses are good horses, rich horses. When he first came out of the village, Ou Ping was already mentally prepared to beg. But I didn't think that Ouyang really didn't lie to him, as long as he went to the official road, there was no shortage of food and clothing, not only was there no shortage, but he was also quite rich.

But as soon as he got on the road here, Ou Ping began to worry: "Young master, we don't even have an official seal." ”

"Ha, Liu Sinu is so stupid, he still has to return the official seal to us. Otherwise, as soon as you arrive in Yangping, you will directly submit the official seal without handing over the book, and the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department will definitely be investigated. In the end, it was found that the former county official handed over the seal to Liu Sinu for safekeeping, and Xinzhi County refused to return it when he arrived, so he was in trouble. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"It's very simple, as long as it's not the county, and the official documents with the county seal are called forged official documents, I have read the official documents of Yangping in the past few years, all of them are paid by Jiankang Prison and the county lieutenant but do not use the official seal. It shows that although this person is domineering, he is not stupid. Ouyang Dao: "Jiankang Prison Cheng and the county lieutenant only have a few dollars a month, not to mention the quick arrest of the officials, as long as Liu Sinu pays double the price, who will these people listen to if they don't listen to him." ”

"But young master, since they all listen to his ......"

"Whatever you're afraid of, get rid of them. The only worry is that once I remove all the personnel, Liu Sinu will stir up right and wrong, so that we will not be able to clean up. Then let the imperial history participate in our book, it will be more troublesome. Ouyang grabbed his chin and said, "I have to think of a way." It's not the truth to touch hard, after all, people are royal relatives, and they still need to spend four or two dollars to make him suffer a dumb loss. ”

……

A few days later, Ouyang arrived in Shanggu County and first visited Zhanming. Zhan Ming was really a little crying and laughing at what happened to Ouyang. It is said that you have won the champion, and you should be congratulated. But Zhan Ming knows the situation in the county next door to him very well.

"I'm afraid you don't know, right?" Zhan Ming said: "Do you know that there is a long gentle slope from Shanggu to Yangping official road? ”

"It's not a big deal."

"That should be your daytime, and the imperial examination is imminent, so no one reminds you." Zhan Ming introduced: "This slope is called Huazi Slope. ”

"Hanako? Japanese woman? ”

"What Japan?" Zhan Mingleng said after a while: "Huazipo, that is, anyone in the past has to be called Huazi." There was a group of bandits in Yangping, about 30 people, who dominated Lianyun Mountain as robbers. In the past few years, they have been suppressed several times, but each time these robbers received the news first, and every time they were encircled and suppressed, they all broke into pieces and disappeared into the mountains. As far as Zhan knows, this Liu Sinu had something to do with this gang of robbers when she was not successful in the early years. ”

Ou Ping nervously asked, "Could it be that they will intercept us?" ”

"That's not possible, robbing and killing the court officials is a crime of rebellion. But Liu Sinu can let these bandits and adults make trouble openly. Forcing adults to be quiet and idle. This is one. Liu Sinu's family is wealthy, and her business in Yangping County has been deep-rooted in these years, which is the second. The common people have long known that there are Liu Sinu in Yangping, but they don't know that there is a county master, this is three. Liu Sinu is cautious, and she doesn't do some things herself, so she has no handle to stay, this is four. If you want to break this dilemma, you must first let the people know who is in charge of Yangping, otherwise you will ......"
