Chapter 16: Li Jincheng was hit hard, and the county was scared into a cold sweat
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge Xuan'er."
After putting Mrs. Huang to sleep, Huang Fugui walked out of the bedroom with heavy steps.
In fact, even if Mrs. Huang didn't say it, he didn't ask someone to avenge his son in the past few days.
He tried to go to the Buddhist temple for help, and also tried to go to the Taoist temple for help.
But as soon as those monks and Taoist priests heard that there was really a monster, they immediately retreated, claiming that they would help him worship the gods and chant scriptures, and ask the gods to help.
In desperation, he had to visit the large and small gangs in the city again.
A lot of silver was spent before and after, and it can be said that there were heavy losses.
It's a pity that after the major gangs learned that the leader of the Black Tiger Gang died at the hands of the Tiger Demon, everyone was busy distributing the benefits left by the Black Tiger Gang, and no one had to pay attention to him at all.
Even if it is empty, no one dares to provoke the tiger demon.
Fortunately, he was not without gains.
He learned from the mouth of a certain gang leader that if he wanted to deal with the monsters who had learned the Immortal Family's exercises, he could only hope that the Immortal Family would deal with it himself.
These ordinary people, no matter how high their martial arts are, they are not the opponents of the tiger demon.
And if you want to attract the attention of the immortals, you must seduce the tiger demon to kill and reap the lives of mortals.
Originally, he was still a little troubled in his heart, but after seeing Mrs. Huang's situation, he finally made up his mind: "Come on!" Get me a sedan chair! I'm going to find the magistrate! ”
……
Meanwhile.
Inside the prefectural government.
Li Jincheng came to visit the county mansion with a pair of panda eyes and a haggard look.
In the past few days, he has been tossed by Zhao Lei and the villagers so that he is not human, and he is physically and mentally exhausted.
He never thought that it would be so difficult to teach people to read and write, especially when that student is still an acquaintance or elder.
Have you ever seen a student taking a class while drinking tea?
He's seen it.
Not only did they drink tea while attending class, but some students also had their ears back.
Often he had to repeat a sentence several times before they could hear it clearly.
It doesn't matter.
He who has read the books of sages has quality, and he endures!
But the most annoying thing is that the villagers dislike him for not teaching a monster well, and they have persuaded each other with good words.
"Jincheng~ You have to learn more from the king. You teach like this, I'm about to fall asleep, old man~"
"Jincheng, why is your writing so difficult? Or the words of the Great King's Sect are simple and clear. Are you mistaken? ”
"Success......"
All before and after.
Dislike this, dislike that.
He was so angry that he was about to vomit blood!
Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to teach the villagers to read and write, nor does he dislike the old people. The village has supported him for so many years, and he is still happy to be able to give back to the village.
But the most annoying thing is that although he tried his best to explain, what he taught was correct and the Tiger King was wrong.
As a result, not a single villager believed him.
also said bluntly: "Jincheng, you fall off the list every year, and you can't get into the show, maybe you learned wrong." Don't be so stubborn, let's learn more from the king. ”
This is enough to pierce the heart, leaving him speechless to refute.
Feelings can't be tested in Xiucai, everything he says is wrong.
At that moment, he was extremely eager to be admitted to Xiucai, and came back to slap the faces of the villagers.
It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that the reason why the villagers don't believe him and think he is wrong is not because he doesn't teach well, but because the things that Zhao Lei teaches are often more practical, so the villagers think that Zhao Lei is right.
Therefore, as long as he has been following the Confucian way, he will not be recognized by the villagers for a day.
I am afraid that the gap with Zhao Lei will be farther and farther.
He was tired of teaching and teaching, so he had to take half a day off to rest today.
Of course, he didn't really do nothing.
He saw that the whole village had been tossed by Zhao Lei for several days, and he had not seen the results for a long time, so he specially came to visit the county today to see if he could avoid this season's taxes, which can be regarded as being prepared with both hands.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as the county heard that the next person said that he was coming, he actually came out to greet him in person: "Ouch~, see who is coming?" My good nephew, I can't talk about not coming to visit Uncle Shi for so long, right? ”
Li Jincheng was a little stunned.
How did I become your good nephew?
Before he could react to what was going on, the county man pulled him into the hall: "Come on, come on, your uncle and I just made a pot of Pu'er, come and taste it." ”
Li Jincheng was a little flattered, but it was not easy to refuse.
I had to be led by the county in a daze, and sat down to drink tea.
After he drank the tea, Xiancheng was finally willing to get to the point: "Jincheng, I see that your whole person is haggard." In your village, there won't really be a monster, right? ”
That's right, that's the focus of the county.
At first, it was people from Lijia Village who came to Xuanyang City to report to the official.
Then there was the death of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
The news of the appearance of monsters in Lijia Village has already spread in Xuanyang City.
The reason why the county is so polite to Li Jincheng is that he wants to make a set of materials to Li Jincheng.
Li Jincheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly, and sighed: "My lord, I can't hide it, there are indeed monsters in Jincheng's village." And there is not just one, but three. ”
The county man gasped.
Holding Li Jincheng's wrist, he said anxiously: "What the hell is going on?" Now that youkai have appeared, why did you come back safely? ”
"Well, my lord, you don't know. Those three monsters like to eat scholars. In order to satisfy their appetite, they even threatened to help them train more scholars. If not, he would kill all the people in his village, and then go to the neighboring villages or towns until someone could satisfy him.
Jin Cheng didn't let the harm of the monsters spread to other villages, as well as Xuanyang City, so he had to compromise with them. Nowadays, the whole village, regardless of men, women and children, must begin to read and write, and the reason why Jincheng has become like this is also due to them. Thank you for your understanding. ”
After speaking, Li Jincheng got up and bowed.
begged the county to forgive him for aiding and abetting abuse.
Imploring the county to be considerate of his faux pas, this makeup came to visit.
But what he doesn't know is that this so-called county official is in the mood to care whether he is aiding and abusive, and how can he care about his appearance?
At this moment, the county was already frightened by his words!
I'm obedient.
Monsters like to eat readers, aren't these officials just readers?
Compared to Li Jincheng's half-tone, wouldn't they be more delicious to those monsters?
The county was scared out of a cold sweat on the spot.
Immediately, he quickly stood up, helped Li Jincheng up, and said comfortingly: "Virtuous nephew, you are not wrong!" You did very well! I should thank you on behalf of Xuanyang City, as well as the nearby villages. Since you have something unspeakable, go back quickly. Remember, do whatever the monsters say, and don't let them spread to anyone else! ”
After receiving the recognition and affirmation of the county, Li Jincheng suddenly felt that he could do it again.
Confident, he looked at the sky and arched his hand: "My lord, please rest assured!" As the so-called Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness! I, Li Jincheng, will definitely not be a person who ignores the big righteousness because of small righteousness! Just ......"
"Just what?"
"My lord, now you also know that the whole village of Jincheng must read and write, and coupled with the recent lack of rain, I am afraid that this season's harvest will not be very good. I don't know if this season's taxes can be ......"
The county quickly understood the purpose of Li Jincheng's trip, he hurriedly put his arm on Li Jincheng's shoulder, and promised: "Nephew Xian, rest assured, your contribution to Xuanyang City is obvious to all!" I'll make it clear to the magistrate and exempt you from paying taxes this season! Not only will taxes be paid, but your village won't have to serve next year! On behalf of the magistrate, I promise you this! ”
The county said secretly in his heart: Of course, you can't pull the people of Lijia Village to do forced labor, what if the monsters don't have enough to eat?
Li Jincheng didn't think so carefully.
After hearing this, he immediately bowed excitedly and thanked him: "Thank you, sir!" ”
After Li Jincheng left, the county immediately prepared a sedan chair and went to the county governor's mansion......
