On the other side of the street, for a while, the various flags embroidered and painted obscured the sky of the small street.

Wood carvings and iron beatings, gold and silver ornaments, as well as evasion, silence, official rank plates, iron chains, wooden sticks, black sheath whips, one pair after another, dense as a forest.

After a long while, I saw a big black fan with an inscription and a three-eaves big yellow umbrella covering an eight-lift sedan chair and slowly entered the small street.

The onlookers had never seen such a formation.

Seeing this, an old man muttered: "Even if Lu Yun and Lu Butang came a few days ago, there was no such scenery, who is this?" ”

Before everyone could think about it, the officers and soldiers in front of them had already driven them away with whips and guns.

Li Xiaozi still wanted to say something, saying [his own people], who knew that those officers and soldiers didn't give him a chance to speak at all, seeing that he was still there, looking ugly, and a few whips on his head made him squeak like a fat monkey.

Among these people, only Xu He and Ma Zhubo knew each other's origins.

Ma owner Bo saw the text on the official title plate, while Xu He had already seen the same card in the Yangzhou Mansion Post House.

At this time, Zeng Dayou, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was sitting in the sedan chair, and his mood was not calm at all.

He looked at the blue bricks and tiles outside the sedan chair through the light gauze curtain, he was a northerner, and it was the first time he had seen the houses in the south of the Yangtze River so closely.

In the narrow alleys, moss dots the entire alley in the corners of the walls and in the cracks of the stone slabs, take a deep breath, the air is moist, with a hint of spring vitality.

Thinking about the past month, when he set out from Beijing to Yangzhou to preach the decree, as soon as the people arrived, before they sat down, several of the people who were rewarded in the decree were arrested and put in prison, among which Zhou Yi and Ge Youli were even wiped out.

This kind of thing is obviously murderous.

I inadvertently waded into troubled waters, which made Zeng Dayou depressed.

Fortunately, after waiting for so long, the will of the imperial court was reissued, and he felt a lot more relaxed when he saw that he was not tossed into this chaos.

So after Li Zhijie read out the will to give him the post of general judge of Yangzhou Prefecture, he rushed to Hailing County non-stop.

Here Zeng Dayou is still admiring the terroir of a foreign land through the window, who knows that there is a fat face on the window.

This big face......

Zeng Dayou was taken aback, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Because there was no official seal in the county, Hu Xiancheng, who came to greet the big man temporarily, said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, there is a situation in the front, there is a situation in the front......

Zeng Dayou almost helped his forehead when he heard this, this trip to pass the decree was really not smooth, and it was Zhou Yi and Ge Youli who had an accident, which made him tremble in the eyes of the treacherous storm in Yangzhou.

At this time, Hu Xiancheng's subordinates came back to report: "Oh no, the horse owner Bo took Xu He and said that he would beat his board." ”

Hu Xiancheng heard this, that's okay, the little brother is quite knowledgeable about the world, and he is also very happy to have a good relationship with himself, the key is that he also helped him bring a lot of income, how can such a [good person] have an accident?

Hu Xiancheng thought in his heart, turned his head and said to Zeng Dayou in the sedan chair: "Oh no, the county government master Bo caught Xu He and Xu Gongzi who borrowed the order!" ”

Xu He is still the same Xu He, but with a prefix added to his name, it is such a small change, but it sounds like thunder in Zeng Shilang's ears.

"What? Your Hailing County master is so bold that he dares to attack the person who is rewarded by the emperor? ”

Hu Xiancheng is a talker, and he opened his mouth to sue the horse owner Bo who robbed his business a few days ago: "It's not, although this horse owner Bo is used to being strong in the county government on weekdays, but he is not bad, but at this time, why don't you know the priority of things, and delay the adult's announcement." ”

You see, the art of speaking is that I say you're not good, but then I'll say something nice about you, so that I can stay out of the way and give people the impression that I'm speaking impartially and fairly, but then deliberately complain at the end.

In this way, if others ask you for trouble, I can leave it all out.

Zeng Dayou has been serving as a Qing important person since the disbandment of the Hanlin Academy, how can he understand the words of these petty bureaucrats, or even if he understands, he will not expose it.

I saw that his face sank like water: "Let the master book come over quickly......"

After speaking, he hurriedly added: "Don't break the person who receives the order, what kind of system does the nose and face be swollen?" ”

Hu Xiancheng smiled secretly in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his subordinate scribe to pass the word.

After a while, the old horse panted and lined up all the soldiers, and knelt in front of the sedan chair of Lord Qincha with a plop: "I don't know that Lord Qincha has come to this county, and the official is late for reception, please forgive me!" ”

At this time, Zeng Dayou heard a young man's voice from outside the sedan chair: "I've seen Lord Qincha!" ”

This voice was clear and pleasant, neither humble nor arrogant, and suddenly reminded Zeng Dayou of the handsome young man Xu He he he had seen in Yangzhou that day.

Zeng Dayou said: "Is Xu He here?" ”

Xu He bowed outside the sedan chair and said, "It's the boy, me!" ”

Zeng Dayou said with a smile: "This official happened to be in Yangzhou Mansion at the Yangzhou Post House, I heard that you made an article and was named the head of the case by Peng Zhifu, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xu He didn't expect Zeng Dayou to hear about it, and hurriedly said: "The end of learning is ugly, and I laugh at the Fang family!" ”

Zeng Dayou disagreed: "The song is nine virtues and nine merits, and the harmony of the phoenix and the bird is also singing, and the sound is still good; ”

Then, he recited again: "Dance nine sao and play nine music, staggering like a hundred beasts to dance, and tolerate who is still it." ”

After reading it, he sighed in the sedan chair: "If you take this article and try it, you can also get it high!" This official is ashamed of himself! ”

Master Ma was taken aback when he heard this, hearing this, Lord Qincha knows this Xu He?

And it seems that I still appreciate each other's articles.

He looked up at Lao Hu, who had never dealt with him, and saw this guy looking at him with a smile.

"It's bad, every time this smiling tiger smiles like this, I'm going to suffer!"

Sure enough, in the next second, Zeng Dayou said: "Hailing County Lord Bo, why do you want to arrest the person who was praised by the holy decree?" What crime did Xu He commit? ”

"This ......" cold sweat broke out on the old horse's forehead, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Tell your lord......" Seeing this, Xu He told everything that had just happened.

embezzling the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war, and it was a goose plucking feathers, stripping layer by layer, knocking bones and sucking marrow, bullying orphans and widows, this disgusting thing, even Lord Qincha's guards turned their heads and glared angrily at the master of the horse after hearing it.

After listening to it, he trembled in the sedan chair with all his anger, and finally calmed down a little, and then said to Hu County: "The new county order has not yet arrived, you take my post to Zhang Jingxian to transfer some people, and arrest Li Xiaozi and others for me first!" ”

"As for the master of the horse, you better go home and wait for it!"

Although Qin Cha has subordinate soldiers, but they are guarding themselves, and they can't take people in the local area, so he asked Zhang Jingxian, the title of a military magistrate, and the indigenous official in charge of the soldiers to get people first, and then deal with Li Xiaozi's gang of little people when the new magistrate arrives.

As for Master Ma, although his official position is small, he is also an official of the imperial court, so he has to go through the process and deprive him of his position through the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.

When Ma Zhushu heard this, he sat on the ground like a plague chicken, and he was almost stupid.

Seeing this, the corners of Hu Xiancheng's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't have a too obvious smile, but at this time, he turned his head to Xu He and said, "What are you waiting for?" Case Chief Xu, Lord Qincha is here to read the will to you, hurry up to the buyer's case and the incense burner, and prepare to receive the will! ”
