The arrival of Deng Zhixian, who was obviously not dealing with him, surprised Lin Tailai, but also had a little haze in his heart.

In the future, if you want to carry out projects in the county, even if you pull the tiger skin of the Shenfu, but without the cooperation of the county, how can you do it?

Among the magistrates in Suzhou City, the only one who can administratively stabilize the prefect is the prefect.

But the prefect is a four-grade yellow hall, wearing a big red robe, with a very high status, and he is even farther away from his own level.

Fortunately, water conservancy projects are generally carried out after the autumn harvest when the farming season is not working.

There is still half a year to go until the beginning of April, and we can slowly find a way to solve the obstacles.

Thinking of this, Lin Zaikan said very angrily: "Recently, it has suddenly been disturbing and unexpected news!

Even the head of this county trial case is full of suspicions, which makes me deeply uneasy!

What did I, Lin Tailai, do wrong, all the people who are open and secret are coming to target me! ”

Gao Changjiang couldn't listen to it anymore, so he changed the topic and reported:

"Actually, there is good news, the big ship captured from Shanyitang has been prepared."

At the beginning, the Shanyi Hall in Xinguo Town built a new large boat as the exclusive means of transportation for the original hall owner Fang Zhuo.

But within a few days, Shanyitang was forced by Zhang Liangshu to plant a flag in Yidu, but his backhand was destroyed by Professor Lin.

The brand-new ship then fell into the hands of Lin Tailai and was named the "Kamiwei Ryūsui" in honor of the deceased who taught him marksmanship.

In fact, Professor Lin originally wanted to name it "Xujiang No. 1", but he was too flamboyant for fear of accidents, so he temporarily sealed the name.

Hearing that the "Shenwei Lieshui Ship" was ready, Lin Tailai sighed: "Finally, there is a pleasant-sounding news!" ”

Then he said to Zhang Wu and Zhang Erlang: "You go to Heyitang to spread a word, and say that I will invite Fan Niangzi to take a new boat for a ride!" ”

And the next day, both sides of the Yinma Bridge in Suzhou City were crowded with people and lively!

As one of the boundary bridges between the two counties of Suzhou City, the east and west sides of the Yinma Bridge belong to different county borders.

In Changzhou County in the east, today I want to cry to see off the Qingtian Lord Deng Zhixian to leave office, and the local people should spontaneously prepare the Wanmin umbrella.

Here in Wu County in the west, it is necessary to happily welcome the Qingtian Lord Deng Zhixian to take office, and representatives from all walks of life gathered here in advance.

In fact, the ceremony to welcome the new official was a very "political" ceremony, and it was also the first contact between the local gentry and the new county.

The local gentry and common people should observe what kind of people Xinzhi County is.

And Xinzhi County will also take advantage of its first public appearance to show its own personality and image, and convey some signals.

In fact, the people of Wu County are not too unfamiliar with Deng Zhi County, after all, Deng Zhi County was next to Changzhou County before, but the formalities that should be taken are still to be taken.

Deng Zhixian said goodbye to the old folks in Changzhou County, crossed the Yinma Bridge, and connected with the old folks in Wu County.

In the midst of a happy compliment, suddenly there was a very harsh discordant sound!

"Grandpa Qingtian is on top, and the villain has grievances and cries blood!"

The crowd followed the sound and saw a black-faced man, holding a pleading, kneeling on the side of the road to greet the crowd.

So everyone cheered up, and the new official took office and stopped and shouted grievances, what a classic scene!

But whenever this situation occurs, most of them have a good show!

Deng Zhixian asked the official to bring the person who shouted grievances to him, and asked kindly: "What do you have to sue?" ”

After the black-faced man kowtowed, he said loudly: "The villain is a fisherman from the boat household in Taihu Lake, and he sued the county bully Lin Tailai for setting up private fees in the fish market, bullying the market, and exploiting the boat owners!"

We are oppressed, miserable, the people are not happy, crying blood and asking Grandpa Qingtian to be the master of the people! ”

Deng Zhixian's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "There is such a thing in the county? Do you know if you didn't make it up? ”

The black-faced man held up the petition again and responded: "This petition was jointly submitted by more than ten boat people, and An dared to deceive Grandpa Qingtian!" ”

Deng Zhixian instructed the county officials who came to greet him: "Where is the torture book? Put it away first! ”

Outside the crowd, there was a sudden shout on the side of the road: "Grandpa Qingtian is on it!" The villain also wants to sue the county bully Lin Tailai! ”

And the people went again to follow the prestige, but they saw five or six more kneeling by the roadside, all of them holding up their bodies.

A master next to him was very dissatisfied and said to Deng Zhixian: "I have long advised the proprietor not to destroy the procedure and accept the complaint on the street at will!"

Otherwise, the complainant will flock to the way, and how good is this! ”

The county magistrate Deng Zhi sighed: "The truth is this truth, but the official really can't see that the people have no way to ask for help."

I can only take it as an example! But since an exception has been made today, let's come and listen! ”

Then the complainants were brought to Deng Zhixian by the officials, knelt in a row, and spoke in order one by one.

"The villain is the Zhen family of Le, and he sued Lin Tailai, the bully in the county, for insulting the woman!

In order to force my daughter to receive her for free, this person forcibly broke into the house, beat my nursing home, and insulted my daughter with a poem!

It made my daughter depressed to the point that she was in tears! ”

"The villain is a merchant on Nanhao Street, suing the county bully Lin Tailai for buying a house at a cheap price!

This person forcibly robbed the villain's Shijiaxiang mansion, and instructed Fan Yunlin, the son-in-law of the Xu family, to forcibly buy it at a low price, so that the villain had nowhere to live under the fence! ”

"The villain is a villager in the eleven capitals of this county, and he sued Lin Tailai, a bully in the county, for forcibly seizing the land!

The villain's family rented fifty acres of official land, which was forcibly taken away by Lin Tailai and transferred to his brother for farming!

As a result, the villain's whole family has no food and clothing, is displaced, and there is no other way than wailing! ”

The onlookers were amazed, and these people who complained included boat owners, happy households, merchants, farmers, and representatives from all walks of life, which was very complete!

Deng Zhixian looked around and asked angrily: "The people's sentiment is so turbulent, is there really such a bully in the county who is so evil and preys on the people?" ”

But these representatives who were selected to participate in the welcoming ceremony, whether they were gentlemen or elders, were all old rivers and lakes, and those with a little personality would not be selected.

So at this moment, they are all silent and do not respond to the magistrate, who knows if the magistrate is deliberately tempting?

Besides, what kind of pure is the eldest man of Deng Zhi County, don't you know who Lin Tailai is?

However, judging from today, among the three fires of the new official's appointment, I am afraid that there will be a lot of blackmail.

Even if it is not uncommon to sweep away the underworld, it is also the common feeling of officials.

A master who followed Deng Zhixian stood up again and said: "When I drew up the list of people who would welcome the county, I vaguely remembered the name Lin Tailai.

Now that Lin Tailai himself is here, please stand up and speak. ”

I asked several times in a row, but still no one came forward.

Obviously, Lin Tailai, the bully in the county, was more arrogant, and he didn't know Xinzhi County at all, so he didn't come to attend the welcoming ceremony at all.

Or that Lin Tailai was very witty and did not give Xinzhi County any chance to be humiliated in public.

Whether he is arrogant or witty mainly depends on whether Lin Tailai can survive the lawsuit in the future.

Although Lin Tailai himself did not arrive, he still sent Gao Changjiang to hide in the outer crowd to spy on it.

Gao Changjiang, who was born as a storyteller, is proficient in all kinds of scripts, so he is certainly no stranger to the scene in front of him.

In those Qing official theme books, there must be a large number of such scenes of people desperate and shouting unjust complaints.

Then there is a high probability that it is a private visit to the Qingtian lord who loves the people like a child, and after some thrilling twists and turns, justice defeats evil, and finally clears the bullies, and returns the place to a bright place.

But what made Gao Changjiang feel wrong was that how did his own house become the villain and bully in it?

At this moment, Gao Changjiang suddenly understood why he was diligently pursuing his literary career and imperial examination fame.

If you have a reputation in your own house, can you still be sued as a bully?

There are many ceremonies in Xinzhi County, of course, it is impossible to waste all of them on accepting complaints, and you have to go to the county government to circle and worship the Chenghuang Temple.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the ceremony was finished.

Then Deng Zhixian ignored the fatigue of the boat and car across the two counties, and immediately convened the staff to discuss the matter in the back hall.

Deng Zhixian hired a total of three private staff, which is commonly known as the master.

This is one of the most popular configurations at present, and the three masters are in charge of money and food, criminal names, and clerical communication, which can basically cover the most core work.

Deng Zhixian said very frankly: "About this Lin Tailai, gentlemen talk about it, I still can't figure it out." ”

In front of the public, you can be very enthusiastic, but you must be rational in private, and any decision must be made repeatedly.

The clerical master took the lead in speaking: "Playing Lin Tailai is the meaning of Wang Fengzhou, the old leader of the literary world, and Wang Fengzhou and Wang Jingshige are very close.

But I heard that Lin Tailai didn't know how to do it, and recently he suddenly got very close to the Shen Mansion, which is really difficult to do. ”

Deng Zhixian sighed: "I finally understand why my predecessor Lord Feng was unwilling to stay for a moment, and left in a hurry when his term of office was up.

is a small and strong township in a small township, and it has actually become a situation where the gods fight. ”

Thinking to the highest, on one side is the lord of the Wang League and the elder of the Wang Pavilion who is in charge of public opinion in the literary world, and on the other side is Shen Shoufu, what is this not a fairy fight?

This is the reason why it is said that it is a hellish difficulty in Dangzhi County in Jiangnan.

The criminal master analyzed: "Not only to look at the comparison of the strength of the two sides, but also to see the degree of attention of the two sides.

The proprietor's transfer to Wu County was directly operated by Wang Ge Lao, and if he refused to do Lin Tailai, he would inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of the two Wang Laos.

And Lin Tailai is only getting close to the second son of Shen Fu at present, and Shen Shoufu himself may not even know who Lin Tailai is.

It is still easy to distinguish which side is more important. ”

But Master Qian Liang also reminded: "A Lin Tailai is a trivial matter, but the assessment of money and grain is a major matter, and in Jiangnan Province, there is no more important performance than Qian Liang."

Now Lin Tailai directly controls the first, fifth, and thirteenth capitals, and also indirectly controls the eleventh capital, which has become the climate.

Moreover, these places are the closest townships to the city, and according to my estimate, they can occupy one-sixth or one-seventh of the county's money and grain.

This ratio is really not small, if it affects the collection of money and grain in these capitals because of the fight against Lin Tailai, the board will still hit the proprietor in the end.

Therefore, the proprietor must be cautious, and before beating Lin Tailai, he must first consider what to do with the money and food. ”

Master Xingming also suggested: "If we can find a Tangkou force that can quickly replace Lin Tailai, we can minimize the impact of the expropriation of money and grain."

Lin Tailai must be defeated before the autumn harvest, and then let the new forces quickly take over those areas before the autumn harvest. ”

Master Qian Liang asked, "Where is there such a hall?" ”

Master Xingming quickly replied: "The power of the Santangkou of Mudu Town is enough to replace Lin Tailai.

Moreover, the three halls divide Lin Tailai's administrative area equally, which will not lead to a single family, which is more conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the proprietor. ”

When Deng Zhixian heard this, he asked, "Have those three cousins contacted you?" ”

Master Xingming replied: "After the news of the proprietor's appointment in Wu County spread, they came over.

Among them, there is a leader named Yang Zhen, who has a lot of vision and can use and replace Lin Tailai. ”

The clerical master proposed: "The stakes are very high, and you can't make a hasty decision.

The proprietor and the new official take office, and tomorrow he might as well observe the customs and customs, inspect the township, and see the leaders of the three halls with his own eyes. ”

Deng Zhixian nodded and said: "Yes, this official is still undecided, and he will be decided after the inspection!" ”

Decision-making is not to sit in the room and pat your head, you have to go down and see the real situation with your own eyes to make the right decision.

In this way, Deng Zhixian ordered to board a ship outside Xumen tomorrow and inspect west along the Xu River.

Why not just take a boat out of town? That's because Xumen, the closest to the Yamen, doesn't have a water gate.

The Xu River originates from Taihu Lake and flows into the moat outside the Xu Gate.

In order to prevent the water of Taihu Lake from pouring into Suzhou through the Xujiang River during flooding, there is no water gate in Xumen to separate the city from the Xujiang River.

Therefore, among all the city gates in Suzhou City, only Xumen does not have a water gate, and Professor Lin enters the city from Xumen on foot.

There is a large wharf at the place where the Xu River joins the moat, and you want to get on and off the boat outside the Xu Gate to pass through here.

The first government activity of Xinzhi County after taking office was to inspect along the Xujiang River to the Taihu Lake.

After this news spread on a small scale, it was immediately interpreted as a signal from Xinzhi County against Professor Lin!

If the Thirty Lixu River basin is divided into upper, middle and lower reaches, then the two banks of the middle and lower reaches, that is, two-thirds of the basin, have been occupied by Professor Lin.

After Xinzhi County took office, he inspected along the Xujiang River, and I heard that tonight he would stay in Xiju Town, the county's Xiju Town, Mudu Town, which had repelled Professor Lin.

In and near the city, the river is extremely congested and often slow.

The new official of Deng Zhi County took office in a simple manner, and got on the official ship from the big wharf outside Xumen in a low-key manner, and it was inevitable that he would be blocked after departure.

Fortunately, there were officials standing in the bow of the ship shouting, and the speed was still faster than that of ordinary ships.

But before the official ship had gone two miles, it suddenly heard a piercing gong.

Then I saw a luxurious boat rushing out from behind, and there were two men standing on the bow.

One person struck the gong fiercely, and the other shouted at the ships blocking the road in front of him and on the left and right, "Get out of the way!" ”

This luxurious big-seater ship went on a rampage all the way and was fast.

Even Deng Zhixian's official boat was squeezed aside, and then he watched the luxurious big boat go away.

No matter how low-key Deng Zhixian was, he couldn't hold his face at this time, and asked angrily: "Whose ship is this?" ”

A servant who was more familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes replied: "There is a Lin Ziqi hanging on it, it should be the new ship of the iron fist and golden whip Xiao Fengxian Lin Tailai!" ”

The balance in Deng Zhixian's heart has tilted again, what is this horse rider still entangled in, let's talk about it later!

Parents should not be dishonored!
