Volume I, Chapter Ninety-Nine. There was a dispute in the county government, and Jiang Hong was not angry and wanted to promote himself
Let's say that in the Xinyang County Yazhong, the Yiyang Gang sent this gang of bandits, and after the scene in the afternoon, Jiang Zhixian was very angry and got angry in the office, "What do they mean?" Are you demonstrating to me? ”
Jiang Hong volunteered and said: "Lord Zhixian, why don't I teach them a lesson and let them see our skills." What kind of Yiyang Gang, I think it's just a rabble. ”
Zhang Ya said: "My lord, why bother to be angry? This Qian Yuanwai and Guo Gang Leader are also kind-hearted. Now, this plague has been eliminated, isn't it a good thing? ”
Jiang Hong said: "Zhang Yashi, what do you mean?" ”
Zhang Ya said: "What's wrong with me? ”
Jiang Hong asked: "Since that time, Qian didn't have to come to the yamen, you always greeted him with a smile, and you kept saying good things about him." Did you take a favor from him? ”
Zhang Yashi retorted: "You! You don't want to spew blood! I'm just telling the facts from the perspective of an old official from Xinyang County. If it weren't for the Yiyang Gang and the money clerk going out this time, they would have caught that gang of bandits. Now without these robbers, the people of Xinyang can live a peaceful life again, isn't this a good thing. Besides," Zhang Yajun glanced at Jiang Zhixian, who was still angry, and said flatteringly: "If you catch the robber this time, you can also report to the court and get a reward." In the future, I will write a strong mark on your political achievements. ”
After Jiang Zhixian heard this, he stared at Zhang Yashi, and said with a smile: "Speaking of robbers!" Zhang Yagong, you should explain to the official how you didn't report it! ”
Jiang Hong said kindly: "Yes! Since you persuaded that Zhang Haiwei, shouldn't you report to the yamen? How did you let the Yiyang Gang know? ”
For such a question, Zhang Yashi seemed to be prepared for a long time, and said: "Oops! In fact, when I was searching, the person himself came to me. Speaking of him, he didn't want to do that kind of thing anymore, but helplessly, that gang of gangsters kept coercing and luring, and he couldn't get out. So, he came to me secretly and told me that he was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. At first, I wanted to report to our yamen, but I was afraid that this was a ploy by those bandits to lure us into the bait. I thought of a compromise solution, the Guo gang leader of the Yiyang Gang has strong martial arts and awe-inspiring justice, so I told him about it. As soon as this Guo gang leader heard this, he immediately slashed his sword, and under the clues provided by that person, he arrested that group of people in one fell swoop, and removed a big harm for our Xinyang County! ”
Looking at what Zhang Ya Shi said, Jiang Hong said angrily: "Zhang Ya Shi, you are afraid that others will rob you of your merits." ”
When Zhang Yashi heard this, he showed a contemptuous expression and said: "I don't know if I rob the merit or not, but it's better than some people, who came to the county government and held a high position, and didn't do anything big." Then, he glanced at Jiang Hong, and then glanced at him disdainfully, Jiang Zhixian's master, Zhu said.
"You!" Jiang Hongqi gritted his teeth!
Jiang Zhixian said word by word: "Okay! Lao Zhang, you did a great job! I will definitely report to the court and give you a reward. ”
Zhang Yashi shirked and said: "What kind of commendation is not rewarded." It's all about doing things for the people. However, his irrepressible smile betrayed him, making Jiang Hong's face full of disgust.
Jiang Zhixian said: "Lao Zhang, you go get busy first." At this time, the official has his own decision. ”
"Yes, sir." Zhang Ya received the order, then retired, and after going out, he hummed a little tune.
After Zhang Yajun left, Jiang Hong said indignantly: "Uncle, you see that he looks like a villain!" ”
Jiang Zhixian also calmed down now and said, "Ah Hong, you take good care of these bandits, and there must be no more mistakes this time." ”
Jiang Hong commanded: "Yes!" However, uncle, not all of these thieves have been caught. What are you afraid of? ”
Jiang Zhixian said: "There are two more people. The boy and the man in black at that time, these two have not been caught. ”
Zhu said at this time: "Yes, according to what the adults said before, these two should be the core characters of that gang of bandits. ”
Jiang Hong muttered: "Why didn't you speak just now, but now you start talking eloquently." Hindsight. ”
Jiang Zhixian scolded: "Go to work." Give an account to the people under you. After Jiang Hong left, Jiang Zhixian asked Zhu, "Master Zhu, what do you think now?" ”
Zhu said and analyzed: "Xiao Wu said, I saw that the Yiyang Gang dispatched people yesterday, so it should be to arrest this gang of bandits?" However, why are there two groups of people, and they are going separately? If Guo Renjie is going to catch bandits, then what are Guo Zixiong's gang doing? ”
Jiang Zhixian said: "I was also worried about this matter just now, they will not send two groups of people to act for no reason." Jiang Zhixian raised his hand and rubbed his temples. It was this gesture of raising his hand that knocked a box on the table to the ground.
Zhu Shuo picked up the box, handed it to Jiang Zhixian, and asked, "Lord Jiang, this box is so gorgeous, what does it contain?" For the past two days, I've seen that I've been here. ”
Jiang Zhixian looked at the box and said, "It's not a good thing." It was the account book that was brought that day, when the money came. ”
"Ledger? With such a gorgeous box? ”
Jiang Zhixian snorted coldly, "Hmph! Naturally, you can't use the account book, but there is a pair of jade wrenches inside! Then, he opened the box, put the ledger aside, and lifted the mezzanine of the box, and there was indeed a pair of jade wrenches inside. Jiang Zhixian said: "Although this wrench finger cannot be said to be priceless, it is by no means cheap. ”
Zhu said looked at this wrench and said: "Qian has to give you a wrench, and now he is helping you catch robbers, I think he actually has the intention to win you over, why don't we come up with a plan?" ”
Jiang Zhixian asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhu said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." We're going to have to go to the Yiyang Gang. ”
Jiang Zhixian nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm going to pay tribute now, and tomorrow, you and I will go to the Yiyang Gang to have a look. Let's go and meet Xiao Wu now. He should be in a hurry. ”
After Jiang Hong came out of the yamen, at this time, his mood was extremely bad, just as Zhang Yashou said, he didn't do anything big. When he became the head catcher, he caught a bandit and let him run away. Now, Zhang Yashi and the Yiyang Gang have wiped out the bandits, and Jiang Hong has been hit hard. Originally, no one was convinced, Jiang Hong wanted to make some achievements, but now! Even the master Zhu Shuo, who had just arrived, couldn't look down on himself. Thinking like this, Jiang Hong walked to the prison of the county government and explained to the jailer: "You all take good care of those bandits, dare to make a little mistake, I will make you look good!" ”
Seeing that Jiang Hong was in a bad mood at this time, the prison guards lowered their heads and kept silent in order not to annoy Jiang Hong, but Jiang Hong didn't think so, he now felt that these people ignored themselves and looked down on themselves, and scolded angrily: "Why don't you speak!" Dumb? ”
The jailers hurriedly said, "Good! Jiang Zhutou, we must cheer up and take care of these prisoners. Jiang Hong snorted coldly and left, and these jailers couldn't figure out the temper of this Jiang catcher.
Jiang Hong walked out of the county office, patrolled the street alone, walked on the street and saw from a distance, Guo Renjie of the Yiyang Gang with a few gangs, also walking on the street, I don't know whether it was sincere or polite, the people passing by greeted Guo Renjie, Guo Renjie also smiled and saluted these people. This made Jiang Hong's heart even more angry, he walked on the street, and never saw anyone greet him, why could he win the respect of so many people! Jiang Hong's heart was unbalanced, so he walked to the tavern angrily and drank sullen wine.
Jiang Hong drank a lot of wine in the tavern until nightfall. This incident, the tavern became lively, and many local people talked about the Yiyang Gang. I saw a storyteller, who was there and relished, "Say, our Xinyang is originally called Yiyang!" And our Yiyang, there is a Yiyang Gang, the old gang leader of the Yiyang Gang, Guo Minglei, nicknamed the Three Golden Taibao! ”
"What are the three golds?" The people below asked.
"These first two golds are the gold and silver hammers in the hands of the old gang leader Guo! The moves are mighty, and the tiger is mighty! ”
"And a gold!"
"There's another gold here, it's the copperhead and iron brain of the old gang leader Guo! An iron head is perfect, invulnerable! With these three golds, in our Yiyang, we got rid of Liu Dadao, the thief who was a disaster for the people at that time. ”
"And then!"
"Later, Juyi Haojie established our current Yiyang Gang!"
The crowd below cheered and applauded!
"This tiger father has no dogs, now, the leader of our Yiyang Gang, Guo Renjie, is the eldest son of the old gang leader Guo Minglei, seeing that there are bandits around our Xinyang, after receiving the news, he immediately rectified the people and arrested this gang of thieves! It's quite the style of the old gang leader! ”.
Looking at the cheers of the people below, Jiang Hong, who was slightly drunk, snorted coldly with disdain. At this time, a person on the table next to him said to Jiang Hong: "This brother seems to be quite disdainful? ”
Jiang Hong said: "Is there one? ”
Another person at the same table saw Jiang Hong and immediately said, "Oh! Isn't this our county government's Jiang Hongjiang catching heads! ”
"Huh? He is the Jiang Hong who relied on his uncle to be the county magistrate and became the head catcher. Another said.
When Jiang Hong heard this, he was immediately annoyed, grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "What did you say!" ”
"What? Everyone knows something, but are you afraid of people saying it? That man was not afraid of Jiang Hong at all.
Jiang Hong stretched out his fist and was about to hit the man. I saw the man say contemptuously: "What kind of ability is it to beat me!" If you have the ability, you can go to the Guo gang leader of the Yiyang Gang! ”
The other person said disdainfully: "Don't talk about Gang Leader Guo, he estimates that even Gang Leader Guo's younger brother, Guo Zixiong, may not be able to win!" ”
Jiang Hong gasped angrily, his reason was already overwhelmed by anger, and said, "Okay! I'll show you, what I'm capable of! Loosening the man's collar, Jiang Hong walked out of the tavern with a spear. At this time, the two of them saw the angry Jiang Hong who was leaving, and one of them worried: "He won't really go to Gang Leader Guo!" ”
"Find it! Seeing that he is very majestic with a spear, is he really the opponent of the Guo gang leader? Come on, come on, let's go on, sit down and drink. ”
Jiang Hong got out of the tavern and planned to go straight to the Yiyang Gang. On the way, I happened to see Guo Zixiong, Zhang Haiwei and Qian Bufei walked out of the Qinglou and got into a sedan chair. Jiang Hong followed, and after leaving a place where there were few people, Jiang Hong casually found a veil to cover his face and blocked their way.
