Chapter 105: Aim Tall

After Wang Zhiyuan came out of the study, he was very worried, he followed the two magistrates, he has always been not seeking merit but seeking no fault, all day long, the work is also good, no big mistakes, but there will be no big performance.

Many corrupt officials still like his subordinates very much, they can do things, they don't fight for merit, they never say a word, they don't ask what they shouldn't ask, and they are wise enough to protect themselves, so Wang Zhiyuan has been able to mix in this county government for many years, but he has not been unlucky with the corrupt officials.

"Hey. Wang Zhiyuan sighed, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Xie Huchen really made him feel a little uncertain. Weifu private interview, observe the people's feelings, rectify the county affairs, and the previous two county magistrates are simply different from the mud, if this really continues, Yixian County will definitely change the world, a new atmosphere, Wang Zhiyuan is also happy to see such a result.

But who knows if he will just be young and vigorous, unaware of the dangers of officialdom, if he encounters setbacks, will he retreat, and whether he will be the same as the previous magistrates.

From the conversation just now, Wang Zhiyuan heard that the newly appointed Jiangzhou Governor Zhuang Menglong had already sent someone, would Xie Huchen have reached any consensus with Zhuang Menglong.

These thoughts appeared one after another in Wang Zhiyuan's mind, he had been in the county government of Yixian County for so many years, and he saw many things in his eyes, he was just a small Bapin County Cheng, a trivial official position, and he could not afford to offend any superior.

"Let's take a look first. Wang Zhiyuan said secretly in his heart and walked out quickly.

For riding a sedan chair, Xie Huchen prefers horseback riding. But he had no horses, so he could only ride donkeys, which were also very good, more able to endure hardships, and had more endurance.

Xie Huchen rode a donkey, followed by Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer.

"My lord, where are we going? Wang Da asked.

"Do you know where Wang Xiancheng's home is?" Xie Huchen asked rhetorically.

Wang Xiaoer hurriedly replied: "Adult, little one knows, are we going to Wang Xiancheng's house?"

Xie Huchen nodded, he wanted to go to Wang Zhiyuan's house to have a look, he always felt that this Wang Zhiyuan should also be a caring person, but he was a little too cautious, and he loved Mingzhe to protect himself on weekdays.

"This Wang Xiancheng is the old man of our Yi County, and his ancestors have been on errands in the county government for several generations, and there is no one in our county who does not know him. Wang Da said.

"I see, who else is in his family?" Xie Huchen asked.

"Back to my lord, he lost his mother when he was young, his father used to be a county magistrate in the county, and he worked hard to bring up his two brothers, and then his father broke his leg and couldn't be an errand anymore, so he attacked his father's official position, and he wanted to work in the county for six years. Wang Da replied.

"He still has a brother?" Xie Huchen asked.

"Yes, he has an elder brother, who has been stupid since he was a child, so this Wang Xiancheng is now responsible for the livelihood of the family, and he has not yet married at the age of twenty-six or seven, to say that this Wang Xiancheng is actually a talented man, has read some books, and the conditions are good, and the matchmaker has told him several girls, all of whom think that he has a father with a broken leg and a stupid brother. Wang Da sighed.

After hearing this, Xie Huchen realized that the family background behind Wang Zhiyuan was so bumpy.

The three of them chatted all the way to a small courtyard. There are two green brick houses surrounded by a fence, two white and fat pigs are raised in the pigsty, and a few chickens are walking in the yard, and there are a few leeks and cabbages planted in the yard. If you don't say it, Xie Huchen still thinks that this is an ordinary farmhouse, not a county family.

"Wang Xiancheng's home is like a farmer's home. Xie Huchen couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, the first two magistrates were corrupt officials, but Wang Xiancheng did not participate in it, on the contrary, he would take out his money to help some poor people on weekdays. Wang Da said.

"I see. Xie Huchen nodded, went up and pushed open the courtyard gate, saying that it was the courtyard gate, but it was just a fence.

"Is there anyone, is Uncle Wang here?" shouted Wang.

I saw a man hear a voice and run out of the house.

"Hey, hey, there's a guest coming, and a guest is coming to play with me. This man grabbed Wang Da directly and dragged him into the house.

"Da Gao, don't mess around!" shouted an old man who came out of another room on crutches and shouted.

"My lord, this old man is Wang Xiancheng's father Wang De, and the stupid person is Wang Xiancheng's brother. Wang Xiaoer whispered in Xie Huchen's ear.

Hearing his father's shout, Da Gao let go of his hand and walked back to the house with his lips pouted.

"Who should I be, Wang Da and Xiao Er, when will you also wear this skin?" Wang De said with squinted eyes.

"Uncle Wang, look at what you said, aren't we also asking for progress, this is our new master, I have come to visit you. Wang Da hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Wang De, and said with a hippie smile.

Xie Huchen bowed with both hands and saluted.

"Yo, lord, we can't afford this, my son is taken care of by adults in the yamen, how can I work for you to come and see me, Xiao Er, you go and move a chair, let the adults sit and say." Wang De said flatteredly.

Wang Xiaoer ran into the house and moved a chair out. As a result, Da Gao came out again, wanted to play with Xiao Er, and ran around the yard with Xiao Er.

"Hey, my lord, you have also seen the situation in our family...... I'm so sorry. Wang De shook his head, sighed, and sat down on the grinding plate.

"Where, I think Ling Lang is very kind, but he needs the company of someone, so let him play with Xiao Er. Xie Huchen said with a smile.

Wang Da also smiled evilly on the side: "Did you hear Xiao Er, the adult has spoken, so let's play with Da Gao." ”

Wang Xiaoer can't say the bitterness in his heart, this big man is stupid and has a lot of strength, where can his small body withstand his trouble, so he has to hide all the time, this big high is only when he plays hide and seek with himself, and he is also very happy.

Wang De hurriedly said gratefully: "My lord, you are really a kind person, hey, our family is so tall, I burned out my brain when I was a child, and my neighbors disliked it." ”

"That is, our lord is a big man, and the people of our county are blessed this time. Wang Da said on the side.

"Uncle Wang, the purpose of my visit today is also to understand Wang Xiancheng, after all, I have just arrived in office, and I must also care more about the families of subordinate officials, so that they can rest assured that they can do things for the people. Xie Huchen said.

"How can my children be so concerned. Hey, what a good parent. Wang De shook his head and sighed.

Xie Huchen talked with Wang Depan like this, he learned from the conversation that Wang Zhiyuan had loved reading since he was a child, had lofty ambitions, saw many corrupt officials who oppressed the people, and was determined to be a good official who treated the people well, but there was no money at home, and he could not study well, so he couldn't take the imperial examination, and there was a father and brother at home who needed to be taken care of, so he had to rely on his father's county position.

On weekdays, Wang Zhiyuan is not only busy with the affairs of the county government, but also works as a farmer at home in his spare time, grows vegetables, raises pigs and chickens, and also to supplement the family.

It's just that he drinks a lot on weekdays, and he often gets drunk and makes mistakes, and Wang De is helpless about it.

Xie Huchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe Wang Zhi was drunk during the day, just to escape from reality.

Coming out of Wang Zhiyuan's house, Xie Huchen had mixed feelings in his heart, he had been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he was also in order to serve the country with a useful body one day.

Wang Demu sent Xie Huchen and the others out of the courtyard, but saw the big master playing with a bag, making a rattling sound.

"Da Gao, what do you have in your hand?" asked Wang De.

"It was given to me by the big brother who was talking to my dad just now. Da Gao looked at Wang De with a smirk.

Wang De took a look, and there was a hanging copper coin lying quietly in the bag......

"My lord, I really admire you, you don't have much money, so you left your money bag, and it must be a tael of silver. Wang Da said, holding the donkey.

"It's okay, I don't need money on weekdays anyway, my father and brother in Wang Xiancheng's family need to be taken care of, and I should help a little. Xie Huchen said.

"My lord is really a bodhisattva, and my two brothers follow you, which is considered to be the right person. Wang Xiaoer patted his ass in the back.

"You, use this sloppy slapping kung fu for me in the future to do things for the people. Xie Huchen said.

The two brothers stuck out their tongues and said yes in unison.

Xie Huchen already knew in his heart at this time, since Wang Zhiyuan was not a greedy person for money, he must not have participated in this tax secret account, but he must know something, and he had to find a way to make him say it honestly.

"Dad, I'm back. After taking the shift, Wang Zhiyuan returned home.

"Yuan'er is back, cough, Lord Xie is here today. Wang De walked out on crutches and said.

"Ah, what is he doing here. Wang Zhiyuan went to the well to fetch a basin of water and washed his face.

"Your Excellency is a good person, not only does he care about you very much, but he also left us some money, but we can't take it, you can send it back to your lordship. Wang De took out the money bag and said.

Wang Zhiyuan was stunned and said, "Didn't he say anything else?"

"No, we finally got a good official in Yixian, you have to work hard and do more for the people. Wang De said earnestly.

"Hmm...... The son got it. Wang Zhiyuan replied a little absent-mindedly.

Over the years, Wang Zhiyuan has been rolling in officialdom, and his lofty spirit at the beginning has long been polished, and the burden of the family has also worn away his edges and corners.

Who knew that Yixian County had come to Xie Huchen, a clean official, and now he took the initiative to visit his family, which hit the weakness of his heart, like throwing a stone into a calm pond, causing ripples.
