Chapter Forty-Six: I Saw a Loneliness

Two days have passed since the incident of the Iron Fist Golden Whip Professor Lin vs. the Changzhou County Officials, and the time has entered March, and the heat is still unabated.

In this month of spring flowers, it is the best season for ladies to visit spring, and the peak period of various celebrity gatherings is coming.

The news that Wang Shizhen, the veteran league leader who has been in charge of the literary world for decades, is about to come to Suzhou City, makes Suzhou scholars full of expectations for this spring.

But on the first day of March, there was only one thing that could be called the focus of the whole city, and that was the meeting of the two major magistrates of Suzhou City to negotiate.

In the middle of the Yinma Bridge, a striking white line was drawn, and the two magistrates had to negotiate across this white line.

This is not hypocrisy or too much, but a last resort.

The degree of freedom of Ming officials is not as high as most people think, especially the magistrates who are responsible for defending the territory.

In Renzhi County, it is strictly forbidden to leave the county border without permission, and once you leave the county border, it is immediately regarded as a dereliction of duty.

But it is impossible for two magistrates who are in the same city of Suzhou to shout and talk to each other across the street or river, which is too unofficial.

So the best option is to choose a boundary bridge and meet on the bridge to facilitate close conversations.

However, in order to clarify the county boundary and prevent the two sides from being too excited and accidentally crossing the line, a striking white line was symbolically drawn on the bridge.

The two magistrates are on one side of the white line, so they can have a safe face-to-face friendly exchange.

However, the space of the arched bridge deck is limited, so it is impossible for the two magistrates to hug each other as they do every day.

Therefore, each magistrate only took two people to the bridge, one was responsible for holding up the Qingluo umbrella cover that symbolized the prestige of his parents, and the other was responsible for running errands and passing the word, and the other entourage could only wait under the bridge.

Feng Qu, the magistrate of Wu County, and Deng He, the magistrate of Changzhou County, met under this circumstance.

Many people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement also heard the news, but they can't get close, so they can only watch from afar.

Although I couldn't hear any conversation, it could be seen from the range of the county's "finger-pointing" movements that after the two parents got on the bridge, they immediately had a very passionate exchange.

Feng Zhixian of Wu County: "Set up the statue of Fan Wenzhenggong, and your signature on the monument is actually in front of me, the magistrate of Wu County!" ”

Deng Zhixian, Changzhou: "You also inscribed on the monument alone, what face do you have to accuse me again?" ”

Feng Zhixian: "Fan Wenzheng Cemetery is in Tianping Mountain, Wu County, isn't it a matter of course for me, the magistrate of Wu County?" ”

Deng Zhixian: "Phew! Fan Wen is Fan Wenzheng of the whole Suzhou City, and Suzhou City does not only refer to your Wu County! Bawen deserves my share too! ”

Feng Zhixian: "Before you asked me to sign your name, it was already for the sake of the face of your predecessors in the science field, you still want to be Longwangshu?" ”

The entourage on both sides couldn't stand it anymore, coughed a few times, and reminded the two parents to pay attention to today's theme and not to deviate from the topic.

As an official in the same city, Deng He, the magistrate of Changzhou, knows the character of Feng Zhixian of Wu County very well, if it does not involve his own interests, this Feng Zhixian is mostly a good person.

Therefore, Deng Zhixian took the lead in making a menacing accusation: "Lin Tailai, the grain clerk of your Wu County, injured 50 officials in my Changzhou County, don't you Wu County plan to give an explanation?" ”

Feng Zhixian of Wu County doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing, or it may be that the calligrapher beat the government servant, and it is really not important to leave his name on the statue of Fan Wenzheng.

Anyway, his term of office was almost up, so Feng Zhixian just yawned and raised his chin at the handyman holding the umbrella.

I saw the handyman holding the umbrella in Wu County and said: "The bully Xu family in Changzhou County ran to Wu County and smashed the entrance of the righteous man hall who assisted the county government in collecting taxes, why didn't Deng County Zun give an explanation first?" ”

Deng Zhixian snorted coldly: "That's what the Xu family did, why do you need the county government to be responsible for this?" ”

The miscellaneous servant holding the umbrella responded again: "What happened in Changzhou County was just a Diao Min and 50 officials beating each other, and what responsibility does the Wu County County Government need to bear?" ”

Deng Zhixian was furious, you Feng Zhixian was too rude, and even asked a handyman to come forward to talk to him! I can say so much about stepping on a horse!

The official holding the umbrella cover in Changzhou County suddenly approached his own Deng Zhi County, his teeth chattered, and he reported: "Big lord, this person who is talking to the other side is an iron fist and a golden whip!" ”

it! Deng Zhixian was suddenly startled in his heart, and immediately looked at the miscellaneous servants holding the umbrella cover opposite.

But I saw that this person was wide-eyed, although he was wearing a wide robe, but if he looked closely, he could still see that this person was really majestic.

It's just that because the bridge deck of the arc arch bridge is uneven, this person is standing behind with an umbrella cover, a few steps lower than Feng Zhixian, so it doesn't seem so high.

After being shocked, Deng Zhixian pointed to Lin Tailai, who was holding an umbrella, and asked Feng Zhixian: "You actually let him appear here, is it a deliberate provocation?" ”

Feng Zhixian asked in surprise: "You also know that he is the county secretary, what is the problem with coming to hold the umbrella cover on an errand?" ”

Deng Zhixian was puzzled for a moment, so he tried Feng Zhixian again: "This villain surnamed Lin has beaten fifty officials in Changzhou County in broad daylight!"

Fighting from Yaqian Street to Yinmaqiao, it is really evil!

As long as you hand this person over to Cheung Chau County, everything will be written off, and the county may be able to compensate for it. ”

Feng Zhixian was unmoved, and resolutely sheltered to the end: "Listen to his will, if he is willing to turn himself in, the county will not stop him." ”

Deng Zhixian couldn't understand very much, how many bribes did you Feng Qu take, or did you take the wrong ecstasy to protect and connive at this gangster thug like this?

If this person really has so much money to bribe the magistrate, will he still be a thug in a mixed association?

Besides, I haven't heard that you Feng Qu likes men, even if you are looking for a prostitute, Lin Zhuangshi is not popular.

If you can't figure it out, you won't want to think about it for the time being, Deng He Deng Zhixian asked from a different angle and said, "Feng Qu!" You are also the leader of a county sitting in the hall, and you should know what it means to be an official and decent!

You and I are parents and officials in the same city, and it is your common responsibility to maintain the dignity of the government!

Although the incident happened in Changzhou County, don't you feel the slightest bit of empathy and hurt in Wu County? ”

Feng Zhixian was not very easy to respond to these words that provoked empathy, but a handyman with a Qingluo umbrella suddenly interjected and replied:

"Deng Xianzun thinks too much, it's just a Diao Min who tried to sue him, and he and the county officials beat each other outside, not in the county government!

It's like those errand soldiers who were dragged to repair the river, if there was a fight, would Deng Xianzun feel that he had lost his official dignity? ”

"Bastard!" Deng Zhixian was furious and said, "What are you!" Do you have the qualifications to be a fool here! ”

The prestige of the county is not humiliating, and Professor Lin did not dare to face the scolding directly, muttering: "I don't want to just play lip service." ”

But Deng Zhixian's ears were too sensitive, so he heard it, and said sharply: "Do you dare to do anything to this county?" ”

Standing behind his county magistrate holding an umbrella cover, Professor Lin, who couldn't move casually, suddenly felt blessed to his heart, as if he was very stubborn and said: "Can't move!" Reach! ”

Deng Zhixian has been a county magistrate in various places for seven or eight years, what kind of Diao people have not seen it? I have personally gone into battle to suppress all the bandits, and I am afraid that just one Lin Tai will fight hard?

He took the initiative to take a few steps forward, sneered at Professor Lin and said, "Now that you can get there, you can try it if you have the guts?" If I don't send you 3,000 miles, I won't be this official! ”

Lin Tailai suddenly pointed to the ground and shouted in surprise: "It's over!" Yes! Master Deng has crossed the line! You left the country without permission, you are seriously derelict in your duties, and you are waiting to be impeached by the patrol! ”

Deng Zhixian: "......"

Nima! Dog mongrel! Deng Zhixian's whole body blood seemed to rush to his head, his face was red with anger, and he reached out and grabbed Lin Tailai!

There is too much difference between each other's classes, how dare Lin Tailai fight back, he can only hold the umbrella cover to dodge left and right.

In these years, fighting and brawling also depends on the class, such as good people fighting government servants, and it may not be a big deal if they win.

And it is a felony for a good citizen to beat an official, but if he is promoted to an official, the mutual assault is not so serious, and even beating a relative of the emperor may not be a big deal.

So in order to make it easier to beat people, you must also work hard to improve your own class.

Although Professor Lin's face was avoided, he was holding the umbrella cover and on the steps, which greatly affected the dodge, so he still took a few hits on his body, but he didn't feel much of it.

However, Deng Zhixian only felt that his fists were getting more and more painful, and this forest thief who stepped on the horse definitely harbored evil intentions, and he actually wore dark armor in his long shirt!

Feng Zhixian hurriedly acted as a good man, stopped Deng Zhixian, and persuaded: "Forget it, forget it!" Adults don't care about villains! ”

The people who were watching from afar, because they couldn't hear the conversation at all, were bored.

Suddenly, I found that the picture was exciting, and suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the parents beat people on the street!

"You're going to shield him?" Deng Zhixian took another arrow step, and after retreating the white line, he shouted to Feng Zhixian.

A handyman holding an umbrella cover replied: "But Master Deng, you also protected the Xu family!" ”

Deng Zhixian didn't want to dwell on this topic, even if he received the benefits of the Xu family, what would happen?

Leng Buding heard the handyman holding the umbrella cover on the other side say, "Master Deng, you don't want to be regarded as a member of the Shen Shoufu party, do you?" ”

When the onlookers were full of greater expectations, the two sides on the bridge suddenly separated completely, and then each turned around and went back.

As if inadvertently, everything is over.

Lin Tailai was holding an umbrella cover, and was about to wait for Feng Zhixian to return to the ya, when suddenly someone flashed to the side and grabbed his arm,

Lin Tailai was furious, who was so bold that he dared to collide with himself, ah no, to collide with the county honor guard?

He turned his head to look, but found that the person who came was actually Feng Shike Feng Er.

I don't know when, Feng Shike grabbed the front row and crowded under the bridge with the county government entourage to watch the excitement.

is also surnamed Feng, but this one is much more than Feng Zhixian. You must know that before Feng Shike resigned last year, he was already a fourth-grade product!

"Second master, an elegant person like you, also come to see this vulgar and lively?" Lin Tailai asked in surprise.

Feng Shike said angrily: "It's lonely!" Come with me and tell me what's going on? ”

He really didn't understand why Feng Zhixian desperately shielded Lin Tailai; And what did Lin Tailai say, and Deng Zhixian on the other side suddenly retreated.

Lin Tailai raised the Qingluo umbrella cover and replied, "I have a duty under my body." ”

Feng Shike turned his head and said to Feng Zhixian: "Please change another person in your county, I will borrow this thug surnamed Lin to speak!" ”

Lin Tailai reminded: "Under is the book. ”
