Jiang Hong walked to the door of the county office, greeted Qian Bufei politely, and said: "Qian came from afar, Jiang Hong, the head catcher of Xinyang County, came to greet him on the order of the county lord." "This money is not only a well-known figure in Xinyang County, Jiang Hong naturally knows about his bad deeds, and he doesn't have a good impression of this person in his heart.

Qian Bufei walked up the steps of the county government at this time, and said politely with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, Qian is just a flat-headed person." How can we, the head catcher of the county government, come to greet him. "Qian Bufei knows the reason why the people don't fight with the officials, and naturally knows how to see people cook. He can not let go of the little officials, but the head catcher of this county government has a formal establishment, and he doesn't dare to make too many times.

Jiang Hong said: "I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

Qian Bufei said: "Yesterday, I heard that the people of our county government spread that our new magistrate is coming to our place to quell the bandits, and now that a bandit has been caught, I will come to visit our magistrate today." ”

"Oh? So that's the case? But only one robber was caught, and the money clerk came to visit? ”

"That's nature. A good official who does good deeds for our people, I must have a good visit. ”

Jiang Hong said: "Okay, the magistrate is waiting for Qian outside the inner hall." Please come with me. Looking at Qian Bufei's entourage, Jiang Hong frowned, although he had heard that Qian was not a luxurious life, but when he saw this luxurious sedan chair and many entourage, Jiang Hong was indeed slightly surprised. Jiang Hong said: "Except for the money clerk, don't bring all of your entourage into the county office." The county government is small, and it is estimated that it cannot accommodate so many people. ”

Qian Bufei said with a smile: "What Jiang Zhutou said is that it shouldn't hurt for Qian to pick a few people to follow me in." ”

Jiang Hong said: "It's okay. ”

Qian Fei refers to a few people, including Li Yu and Zhang Haiwei. Li Yu and Zhang Haiwei naturally recognized this Jiang Hong, so they mixed in the crowd, silently lowered their heads, did not let themselves be too conspicuous, and slowly walked towards the county government. Just as Zhang Haiwei and Li Yu walked into the door side by side, Jiang Hong shouted, "Stop!" ”

This sound frightened Li Yu and Zhang Haiwei into a thrill, holding their breath, not daring to go further, but also not daring to look back. Li Yuxin said: "Could it be that he recognized us, but we were obviously masked at the time." Li Yu clenched his fists, mobilized all the senses around him, and felt the movements around him, ready to make a move at any time.

Jiang Hong's voice sounded again: "Outside the money officer, this is the county office." It's not a mansion where you come out to play, just bring these people in. More than that, it's not appropriate. When Li Yu heard Jiang Hong's words, he let out a breath, and his hanging heart landed steadily.

Qian Bufei pointed to the two plain-clothed men in the crowd and said, "What Jiang Zhutou said is true. But these two people must come along, they are with me the gift I gave to our magistrate. ”

Jiang Hong said: "Okay, I'll let you enter the two again." Others had to stand by at the gate of the county government and were not allowed to enter the county office at will. ”

Qian Yuanwai clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Jiang for catching your head." ”

Under the leadership of Jiang Hong, Qian Feifei and his entourage walked into the inner hall of the county government, and Jiang Zhixian was drinking tea in the inner hall. Qian Bufei took the lead, hugged his fists while walking with a smile on his face, and said: "This must be our county magistrate of Xinyang County." ”

Jiang Zhixian got up and saluted back: "Exactly, I am the new magistrate of Xinyang County, Jiang Zhanzhong." Then you are the money clerk in Shawlin Town. ”

Qian Bufei said: "Jiang Zhixian knows the grass people. ”

Jiang Zhixian smiled: "How can you not know it?" As soon as I arrived in our Xinyang County, the name of Qian Yuanwai let the people of Xinyang County pass it on by word of mouth. ”

Qian Bufei was surprised: "Oh? Am I so famous? What do people say about me? ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "What kind of charity, righteousness and wealth, righteousness and clouds." ”

Jiang Zhixian was stunned when he said this, he thought that his bad deeds of bullying people caused the people to have a lot of grievances would be known by Zhixian, and he had even figured out how to explain it. But Jiang Zhixian said some praise, waved his hand and said modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Qian is just a grass people, how can the people boast so much?" ”

Jiang Zhixian continued: "Qian Yuanwai is really modest. Thy deeds of good deeds are remembered by the people. In the future, they will surely repay you. ”

Qian Bufei already had a little sweat on his head, and hurriedly said: "As the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is appropriate to seek benefits for the people, why ask for repayment, how to repay." ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "Please sit outside the money clerk, I don't know why the money clerk is coming this time?" Saying that, Jiang Zhixian sat back on the Taishi chair above the inner hall.

Qian Bufei sat down on a chair next to him and said, "I heard that Jiang Zhixian just arrived in our Xinyang County, and he caught the bandits who often plundered us. I didn't expect that Lord Zhixian would be so powerful. ”

Jiang Zhixian smiled and said, "Where, where." It's all my nephew, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has learned a good skill. In one of our main roads in Xinyang County, a robber was captured. Jiang Zhixian pointed to Jiang Hong on the side.

Qian Bufei said with admiration: "Jiang Zhixian is resourceful, Jiang Zhutou is brave, think about it, our Xinyang County will definitely get better and better under the leadership of the two of you." ”

Jiang Zhixian took a sip of tea and said, "Outside the Qian staff, didn't you come to flatter me." ”

Qian Bufei said: "What the grass people say is from the bottom of their hearts. However, this time I came to bring two gifts to the magistrate. He waved his hand at the plain-clothed two and said, "Take it." One of them held a delicate box made of mahogany in both hands and presented it to Jiang Zhixian.

Jiang Zhixian was a little surprised, and said, "This is?" ”

Qian Bufei said: "My lord, you will know when you open it." ”

Jiang Zhixian opened the box, and there was a ledger inside. Qian Bufei said: "My lord, you also know that the grass people are businessmen. This first gift is this ledger, which is all the accounts of the tea business of the grass people, including the quantity of tea, the price of tea, the purchase price and the shipping price, as well as the date of receipt of tea, and the annual payment of commercial taxes, all clearly written on it. I don't have much ability, so if I have the money, I have the money to pay. It's all for our Great Song Dynasty, the country is prosperous, and my business is easy to do. ”

Jiang Zhixian picked up the account book and flipped through a few pages at random, on which as Qian Bufei said, clearly recorded various income and expenditure, paid taxes at the prescribed tax rate, and did not have the slightest problem, but Jiang Zhixian knew in his heart that this money was not wrong, it definitely meant something else. Sure enough, just when Jiang Zhixian was about to put the ledger back in the box, he saw that there was a small red rope in the box, and the box had a mezzanine, Jiang Zhixian quietly opened the mezzanine, and saw a little bit of emerald green luster, Jiang Zhixian pretended to put the ledger back in the box, took the box and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "The world knows that our Xinyang County is famous all over the world, and in our Xinyang County, the tea business outside the Qian Yuan is even more well-known, and has made outstanding contributions to the economy of our Xinyang County." No wonder the people of Xinyang County have word of mouth for you. ”

Qian Bufei said: "The adults have won the prize, this is what the grass people should do." ”

Jiang Zhixian nodded and said, "Didn't Qian Yuanwai say two gifts?" And what about the other one? ”

Qian Bufei said: "Is this another gift?" Then I'll worry about the adults first. ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "What's the matter?" ”

Qian Bufei said: "Two days ago, didn't our county government catch a robber?" Bring him up, and I'll give him this second gift. Li Yu didn't have the slightest interest in Qian Bufei's conversation with Zhixian, but when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses and thought: This Qian Fei finally remembered Lao Tzu's matter.

Jiang Zhixian was a little puzzled and said, "What does Qian Yuanwai mean?" ”

At this time, Ding Yashi ran out and said angrily: "My lord! He suspects that you didn't catch the robbers at all, and deliberately used false news to ask for credit! Ding Yayi has been listening to the conversation between the magistrate and Qian Bufei around here, and when he heard this, he remembered what Qian Bufei said yesterday, and couldn't help but walk out.

Everyone looked at this Ding servant, and Qian Bufei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" Don't listen to this man's nonsense! ”

Ding Ya said: "That's what you said yesterday! Why, don't you dare to admit it? ”

Qian Bu said without admitting it: "What did I say? Who heard? ”

Ding Yayi looked around Qian Bufei, and among the people he brought this time, there was no one who was with Qian Bufei yesterday. However, Ding Yashi didn't understand, even if there were, those people would not identify Qian Fei. Ding Ya said: "The people who were watching at that time heard it. ”

Qian Bufei said arrogantly: "Okay! Then you can call them now! ”

Ding Ya saw that the money was not dead and did not admit it, looked left and right, saw Master Zhang, the foreman over there, ran to pull Master Zhang, walked over, and said: "Master Zhang, is this the person, when we announced yesterday, I suspected that our county magistrate had released fake news to coax the people!" ”

Master Zhang looked at Qian Bufei, thought for a while, lowered his head and said, "I don't remember very well." ”

Ding Yashi shook Master Zhang's shoulders and shouted, "Master Zhang! You can't talk nonsense with your eyes open! ”

Qian Bufei said: "You are so rude, you are innocent and innocent!" Lord Zhixian, if such a person stays in your county office, it will only undermine the justice of the law of our dynasty. Please be strict! ”

Jiang Zhixian looked at Ding Yashi, frowned, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Ding, you go down first." ”

"But!" Xiao Ding wanted to say something, but looking at Jiang Zhixian's stern eyes, he had to leave silently with Master Zhang.

Jiang Zhixian said: "Outside the money officer, you are smiling." ”

Qian Bufei said: "Lord Zhixian, you are a capable person at first glance, how can I doubt you?" However, I did hear some from some people. News that is bad for adults. However, don't worry, the grass people will trust you. ”

Jiang Zhixian squinted at Qian Bufei, and asked with a smile, "Is it?" ”

Qian Bufei said: "Adults must believe in the grass people." As for why you should bring that man with you, I'll tell you why. I'm a businessman, and it's all the time to run around, delivering goods. I've been robbed by those bandits before, and I have some impressions of them, so I want you to bring that person over, and I'll help you make sure it's not that group. What if there is another gang of bandits? ”

Jiang Zhixian thought for a while and said, "This is the second gift you gave me?" ”

Qian Bufei said: "Sort of." ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "Okay! Ah Hong, you can bring that bandit over now and let Master Qian identify it. Jiang Hong was ordered to leave.

After seeing Jiang Hong leave, Li Yu pulled Zhang Haiwei's sleeve and signaled with his eyes, someone will bring it in a while, let's do it. Zhang Haiwei nodded.
