"Send the corpses of those bandits, along with the stones, to the yamen." Zhou Qiang ordered casually.

Zhou Qiang has not done anything earth-shattering over the years, but in the White Deer Plain, he is a tyrant, what a bandit, a bastard or something, anyone who dares to make a move on Zhou Qiang has been killed by Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang has always repaid virtue with virtue and repaid grievances with straightforwardness.

"Yes!" Zhou Qiang's guards immediately carried the stones to the county seat.

The onlookers looked at Zhou Qiang with a frightened expression.

Many people have never seen Zhou Qiang kill people.

I saw it this time.

While talking and laughing, the three fierce bandits were beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Xiaoqiang!" Bai Jiaxuan shouted and walked up to Zhou Qiang, "What, don't bet on stones to go to the county seat, right?" If there is something to be done, our clan will discuss and solve it by ourselves. ”

Bai Jiaxuan recently listened to a story about Shun told by Mr. Zhu.

said that Shun never cared about the persecution of his family in the face of his family, and repaid his grievances with virtue.

Let Bai Jiaxuan treat the villagers of Bailu Village as family members, not as outsiders, and not as officials.

Bai Jiaxuan remembered these words and treated the stone as his family.

For the persecution of stones, Bai Jiaxuan hopes to repay his grievances with virtue.

"Patriarch, the stone must be sent to the yamen.

If you do something bad, you will be punished.

Otherwise, the other villagers will learn from the stones.

That's a bad thing. ”

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to persuade again, but Zhou Qiang didn't give him a chance.

Anyway, the person who harmed the stone this time was Zhou Qiang, not Bai Jiaxuan, and Bai Jiaxuan had no reason to spare the stone for Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang's people had already thrown the corpse into the carriage along with the stones, and quickly whipped away.

Bai Jiaxuan squinted his eyes and didn't speak. Zhou Qiang's refusal made Bai Jiaxuan feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Zilin eased up a little at this time.

Mr. Leng had just redressed him.

"Jiaxuan, the stone should be sent to the county to be dealt with, don't be confused."

After the matter was basically dealt with, Zhou Qiang got on the horse and looked at Lu Zilin, "Lu Xiangyue, don't forget the three horses." ”

The three horses ridden by the robbers were also shot and killed. This costs Lu Zilin.

"I can't forget, I can't forget, the money will be sent to you in a while." Lu Zilin hurriedly agreed. This time, Zhou Qiang saved Lu Zilin's life.

Lu Zilin didn't dare to settle accounts with Zhou Qiang. Just thinking of the three horses, Lu Zilin couldn't do it, so he hurriedly asked people to move the dead horses back.

"Drive!" Zhou Qiang rode home.

The rest of the people began to talk.

"The people around Boss Zhou are amazing!"

"Good guys, a mess of shots, the robbers are dead."

"Boss Zhou's marksmanship is so good, the robber's arms have been pierced, and the guns have fallen off!"

The villagers opened their eyes this time.

Who is Zhou Qiang, they understand a little.

The stone daughter-in-law hugged the baby and couldn't help crying.

The stone was sent to the yamen, and even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to come back in a short time.

In this era, if there is no man, you may be bullied to death.

Bai Jiaxuan walked over and persuaded: "What are you crying, don't worry, the stone will be locked up for a few years at most." Ansheng stayed at home, and the clan inevitably ate a bite to eat. I'll be in charge of things for you. ”

Bai Jiaxuan helped the clansmen, and he was also dedicated, and he didn't have much selfishness.

"That's it, what are you afraid of, come to me for something." Lu Zilin is very enthusiastic about the stone daughter-in-law.

Lu Zilin's enthusiasm for the little widow has other thoughts.

When the robbers arrived at Yamen, they also caused a lot of turmoil.

Because of these robbers, they have done a lot of cases, and there are rewards in the provincial capital.

Stone was sentenced to three years.

A few days later, a little bounty was sent to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang rewarded the guards in his hand.

The dull days continued.

However, it was not a few days after the birthday of Bailu Village.

Lu Zilin received a notice that County Magistrate He was coming.

At the same time, Mr. Zhu is also writing a pair of words "Renyi Bailu Village".

These words are written to Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang's actions over the years reached the ears of Governor Zhang, and Governor Zhang couldn't help but praise "Benevolence and Righteousness Bailu Village".

When the county magistrate heard this, he wanted to erect a monument to Bailu Village.

Why is the county magistrate so active?

Because, a group of people who served with the county magistrate He were all promoted and made a fortune, and the county magistrate He was restored to his stagnant position, and there was no progress.

After hearing Governor Zhang's praise of Zhou Qiang, County Magistrate He decided to erect a monument to Bailu Village, and asked Mr. Zhu to write it, and it cost a lot to polish the pen.

On Bailu Plain, there is a Mr. Zhu and a Boss Zhou, and they are all people that Governor Zhang is worried about.

In doing so, County Magistrate He can cater to the preferences of the above.

If the above is satisfied, County Magistrate He will be promoted and make a fortune.

Therefore, the reason why County Magistrate He couldn't be promoted was that he didn't have a good relationship with Mr. Zhu and Zhou Qiang.

This episode is similar to that in a TV series, an official surnamed Qi helps people hoe the ground.

Many things are different from the era, but things are basically the same, all of them are the same routine.

It doesn't look good or sound good, but it's useful.

Do what you like, at any time, anywhere, and never go out of style.

This side of Bailu Village.

In order to receive County Magistrate He, Lu Zilin wanted to hold a grand reception ceremony.

Lu Zilin stood on the stage, mobilized the whole village, donated money and grain, killed sheep and chickens, bought good wine, and let the children sing nursery rhymes, and all the villagers lined up to welcome together.

Firecrackers, drums and music are also arranged, as well as red silk cloths. Wait.

Such a battle can be called a classic, a scene of joy with the people.

Zhou Qiang looked at Lu Zilin's arrangement and praised Lu Zilin for being a good seedling and doing things.

Lu Zilin actually felt flattered.

While Lu Zilin was preparing, Bailu Academy, Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu were also discussing the matter of County Magistrate He's coming.

Mr. Zhu gave Bai Jiaxuan an idea and asked Bai Jiaxuan to ask the county magistrate He for a sentence: "Exempt Bailu Village from paying taxes for three years." ”

Not a few days.

Governor He came to visit.

The entrance of Bailu Village.

Firecrackers rang out.

The beating of drums sounded.

The cheers of the villagers of Bailu Village rang out.

The children also gathered together to warmly welcome County Magistrate He and sing a nursery rhyme: "County Magistrate He, set foot on Bailuyuan today." ”

The children's song here was written by Lu Zilin.

However, there is one more sentence in the children's song here, "County Governor He is a Qing official, and he will be exempted from taxes when he arrives in the original." ”

The latter sentence can be regarded as Mr. Zhu's addition.

As soon as this sentence was sung, it was a little embarrassing.

County Magistrate He's face changed suddenly. It's supposed to be a show, why is the big guy still serious?

Lu Zilin hurriedly stopped it, and Tian Fuxian accompanied County Magistrate He to introduce Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu pretended to be hoarse, couldn't speak, and didn't say a word to County Magistrate He.

Everyone knows that Mr. Zhu is pretending.

Why did Mr. Zhu do this?

To put it simply, the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

That is to say, Mr. Zhu has a very good opinion of County Magistrate He and does not look down on County Magistrate He.

What County Magistrate He did in Zishui County is obvious to all, and he did not do anything beneficial to the people.

What I do every day is either to disturb the people, or to make the people contribute money and efforts, anyway, there is nothing useful.

It seems that if you are an official, you will have nothing to do if you don't fish and eat your neighbors.

I couldn't talk to Mr. Zhu, and when County Magistrate He looked for Zhou Qiang, he didn't find it.

Because Zhou Qiang didn't come.

"Where did Zhou Qiang go?" Lu Zilin hurriedly asked.

"He said that he was going to the provincial capital and sent wine to Governor Zhang." Bai Jiaxuan replied.

Zhou Qiang is indeed not there.

Zhou Qiang was unwilling, and in front of the villagers, he put on a show with County Magistrate He.

Chang'an City.

Zhou Qiang was talking to a group of students near the university.

"I personally invested money to build a new primary school in Bailu Town, and the rest was done, but there were no Western teachers.

We are poor in Bailu Plain.

No one wants to teach.

Our babies there can't compare with the provincial capital, they all eat soil all their lives.

Without teachers, there is no way to build a primary school.

What can I do?" Zhou Qiang told a group of students about the difficulties.

Zhou Qiang is preparing for a new primary school these days, and the biggest problem is that there is no suitable teacher.

Why did Zhou Qiang tell his students this?

Zhou Qiang did it on purpose.

Zhou Qiang knew that it was best for students to fool.

At least the students of this era are easy to fool.

The students of this era, they are enthusiastic, they are friendly, they are motivated, they have many advantages.

They are easy to get up to.

They can not be afraid of life and death for something.

Therefore, Zhou Qiang wanted to fool a few students and go to Bailu Town to be a teacher.

Obviously, Zhou Qiang's flickering was not in vain.

"I'm willing to go to White Deer Town!"

"I'm also willing to teach in White Deer Town!"

"What teachers are missing? We're here to help! ”

"We can also raise donations!"

The enthusiasm of the students made Zhou Qiang smile happily.

Zhou Qiang shouted: "We lack everything there!" ”

White Deer Village here.

Zhou Qiang was not found.

"The Governor's business is more important, and he should go." County Magistrate He said dryly, and his face became even more ugly. He guessed that Zhou Qiang was leaving on purpose.

Fortunately, County Magistrate He has experienced a lot of things and doesn't care about this small setback. County Magistrate He is an indomitable person.

After a few awkward chats, a group of people entered the village.

There have always been five or six capable guards around County Magistrate He, and there are box cannons under their clothes.

They dutifully guarded around County Magistrate He.

County Magistrate He takes his own safety very seriously.

A moment later.

On the stage.

County Magistrate He, Mr. Zhu, Bai Jiaxuan, Tian Fuxian, and Lu Zilin sat high and let everyone watch.

Lu Zilin is the host, he stood up first and shouted: "Today is a happy day for our Bailu Village, everyone welcomes County Magistrate He to speak to us." ”

County Magistrate He stood up and nodded with Mr. Zhu and the others, his expression was well controlled, serious and smiling.

It can be seen that County Magistrate He is very good at doing this.

A few steps forward, County Magistrate He began to perform, oh no, it was a speech.

"In our Bailu Village, there are two people worth learning from, one is Mr. Zhu of Bailu Academy, and the other is Boss Zhou Qiangzhou

Mr. Zhu retired from the Qing army alone

Boss Zhou donated money to build a new primary school."

County Magistrate He praised Mr. Zhu and Zhou Qiang for a while, and finally concluded: "Salute to the old folks of Bailu Village!" ”

County Magistrate He's tone and expression were well controlled.

This kind of speech, County Magistrate He makes almost every day, and he is too familiar with the road.

Wonderful, very wonderful.

County Magistrate He's speech is particularly good! The speed of speech is not hurried, the expression is in place, the posture is elegant, and it is good anywhere.

As soon as the lecture was finished, everyone applauded warmly, and they were able to pat their hands painfully and swollen.

The scene was very lively, jubilant and very harmonious.

Rejoice with the people, that is.

County Magistrate He's face also looked much better.

Such a scene made County Magistrate He feel familiar.

After speaking.

The entrance of Bailu Village is ready.

A monument: Renyi Bailu Village, has been erected here.

The shovel is also ready.

The shovel still has a red cloth on it.

I also have a camera set up on the side.

This scene, at a glance, you know that it is very professional, comprehensive, nothing bad, very good, very perfect.

County Magistrate He walked to the monument and greeted Mr. Zhu, Tian Fuxian, and Bai Jiaxuan to fill in the soil and take pictures together.

Lu Zilin is not qualified to participate in the pose, and there is no Lu Zilin's shovel.

Lu Zilin was in a hurry, so he went up to share a shovel with Bai Jiaxuan and posed for a photo.

There was a click, and the picture remained.

Lu Zilin and Bai Jiaxuan competed for the shovel and did not pose well.

But it doesn't matter, in post-processing, Lu Zilin and Bai Jiaxuan will be cut.

The most important thing is Mr. Zhu and County Magistrate He, as long as they shoot well.

After posing for the photo, it is natural to have good wine and good food. It's all a fixed process.

A few tables were set, and Tian Fuxian, Lu Zilin, and Bai Jiaxuan accompanied County Magistrate He to dinner.

Although the villagers of Bailu Village tried their best, the wine and food prepared were also average in the eyes of County Magistrate He, too ordinary.

County Magistrate He could only reluctantly eat a few bites. Although this meal, the villagers cannot afford to eat it for the rest of their lives.

County Magistrate He came to Bailu Village, which is a big deal.

Bailu Village became lively all of a sudden.

Some people join in the excitement and come to Bailu Village to do small business.

An elderly man with a mobile candy man stall.

The babies sang nursery rhymes at the entrance of the village, and after welcoming the county magistrate He, they ran to the candy man, wanting to eat the sugar man.

Take a look, "Can you be the Monkey King?" ”

"Can you be the Jade Emperor?"

"Can you be Li Kui?" This is what Heiwa asked.

"You can do it, just do it if you give money!" The old man has good craftsmanship.

Bai Xiaowen, Lu Zhaopeng, and a group of children all went home to ask for money.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man, dressed in a long shirt, who looked like a scholar.

He is Xu Xiucai, and he is a classmate of Mr. Zhu.

Xu Xiucai came today to find Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu has been away for five years and has recently returned. Xu Xiucai heard the news and came over to visit.

At this time, the old man who pinched the candy suddenly became dizzy and fell to the ground.

Xu Xiucai hurriedly went up to help the old man to rest.

Bai Xing'er appeared in front of the candy man stall at some point, he looked left and right, took the money from the sugar man and the drawer while no one was paying attention, and hurriedly ran away.

Bai Xiaowen, Lu Zhaopeng and other babies came with the money.

The old man who found the candy seller was gone.

Erdou, this crazy young man in Bailu Village, just picked up the candy man and ate it.

Heiwa also followed the candy man.

Lu Zhaopeng, Bai Xiaowen and other babies also licked the candy man together, but they forgot to give money.

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiucai was unhappy.

County Magistrate He just sent five words to Bailu Village: benevolence and righteousness Bailu Village.

And it happened, robbing other people's property.

Xu Xiucai accused loudly, and the matter became troublesome.

Some villagers saw it and hurriedly asked Bai Jiaxuan to come over.

Bai Jiaxuan's side was telling County Magistrate He that the village was too poor to be able to solve the pot, and he hoped to be exempted from paying taxes in Bailu Village.

What Bai Jiaxuan said is not to be heard, and it is not the scene that the person on the scene should say.

was disgusted by several people here.

It happened that someone called Bai Jiaxuan away, which is also a good thing.

After Bai Jiaxuan arrived.

Xu Xiucai told what had happened, "This old man came to Bailu Village to join in the fun.

I fainted just now.

The sugar man was robbed by these babies, and the money was lost.

In broad daylight, what Renyi Bailu Village did was a little unkind. ”

Xu Xiucai said this, which also shows that Xu Xiucai is not a scene person, how can he speak so ugly?

"And what's going on?" Bai Jiaxuan was a little unhappy, "It's my patriarch who is not strict in discipline. ”

Bai Jiaxuan didn't care about drinking with County Magistrate He.

It's time to deal with it.

Call everyone into the ancestral hall.

However, Xu Xiucai was called away by Mr. Zhu.

The two of them went to Bai Jiaxuan's house and ate oil and noodles.

The babies are hungry in the ancestral hall.

Things were quickly asked.

When the old man fainted, the babies went back to get the money, and they didn't see who stole the money.

There was no way, Bai Jiaxuan could only call all the clansmen over.

Bai Jiaxuan took the opportunity to invite County Magistrate He over, and wanted to talk about tax exemption again.

At the same time, Mr. Zhu and Xu Xiucai also came. They came after eating the oil and splashing the noodles.

"Shame on the ancestors!"

"As soon as the monument was erected in Bailu Village, someone did such a thing, shame on the ancestors!"

Bai Jiaxuan reprimanded him severely, "Whoever took the old man's money, stand up for me!" ”

"Stand up!" The villagers shouted along.

Under the anger of the public, Bai Xing'er couldn't help it, took the initiative to go to the front, took out the money, knelt down and admitted it.

Bai Jiaxuan asked for a monk and whipped Bai Xing'er on the spot.

Soon, after the whip was drawn, County Magistrate He said a few words and left.

I didn't say anything about tax exemption.

Bai Jiaxuan was disappointed, and the tax-free thing was not done.

Mr. Zhu also shook his head, a little helpless.

Bailu Village only got a tablet of benevolence and righteousness Bailu Village, and it was useless.

A few days later.

Zhou Qiang came back.

Heard about it.

went to Bai Jiaxuan's house.

While eating the oily noodles made of fairy grass, he said, "Patriarch, you have done something wrong. That's how you should."

In the next few sentences, Zhou Qiang whispered to Bai Jiaxuan.

"Will this work?" Bai Jiaxuan looked suspicious after hearing this.

"It will definitely work, you wait, I will pay this money first, and after it is done, you will pay me back." Zhou Qiang finished eating noodles and went to the county seat.

Soon the news reached Bailu Village.

Renyi Bailu Village was exempted from paying taxes for three years.

Zhou Qiang ate oil and noodles at Bai Jiaxuan's house again.

"It's done!" Bai Jiaxuan looked happy, "Xiaoqiang, I will ask the villagers to make up the money you advance immediately." ”

How did this happen?

Zhou Qiang didn't do anything.

Isn't it exempt from paying taxes for three years?

Zhou Qiang told County Magistrate He.

Bailu Village is willing to donate a year's tax to County Magistrate He to do good deeds.

In other words, Bailu Village is nominally exempt from taxes for three years, but in fact it is exempt from taxes for two years.

But no matter what happened, Bailu Village still got the benefits.

Taxes are exempt for at least two years.
