Guobei County, the county magistrate

Shopkeeper Zhou had just been asked to leave, and there were only three people left in the house.

Idle and bored, the scholar picked up the tea on the side and thought about this magistrate of Guobei County.

This magistrate of Guobei County is not ordinary, and he used the same method to control five people and five things in one day.

A hint of admiration flashed across his face, and the scholar shook his head slightly and chuckled.

His movement attracted the attention of the sheep's beard catcher and the painter Lu, and the scholar hurriedly raised his hand apologetically in the direction of the headcatcher, then turned his head and bowed slightly to the painter Lu, and then continued to bow his head and remain silent.

"Lao Wei and the magistrate have negotiated, but the magistrate will definitely ask me about the connection with this assassin later.

Thinking of this, the scholar was a little distressed, smacked his lips, and there was another movement, he was thinking about what to say.

The sheepbeard catcher frowned, and looked at the scholar with some unhappiness in his eyes.

Judging from experience, he knew that this guy who was hit by the board was a natural thorn.

Not honest.

... ... ...

The other side

"Your father told me to get you back early. I promised him. ”

"On behalf of my father, thank you first. ”

"Yes, every year on your father's birthday, the Zhou family will hire some idlers, let these people live in your house for a period of time in the name of helpers, and then attach silver to let them have a good year.

I have seen all of this done by your family, not to mention that the help your father needs is not a trouble. ”

The county magistrate's face looked at the shopkeeper Zhou with sincere enthusiasm.

"My lord's reputation, I dare not be ashamed, this is all due to my father, it is my father's idea..."Shopkeeper Zhou bent down again, with a humble look on his face,

Raising his hand and waving downward, he motioned for Shopkeeper Zhou to sit down, and the county magistrate moved his body with a gentle smile and moved forward.

"I remember how many private mines do your family have near this county?"

"Yes, my lord, these mines were mined privately by the small people after they reported to the government and the court gave permission. The shopkeeper Zhou's face did not change, he sat very well, and answered the questions of the county without leakage.

"Well, I know all these things you said. “

Nodding, Zhixian listened to the confident words spoken in a humble tone, and nodded,

"Coerced the contract, raised private slaves, and the prefect and the court also agreed?"

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and the shopkeeper Zhou did not move, "What my lord said, Xiaomin is a little untrue?"

Zhixian leaned over to the armrest of the chair, stretched out one hand, and tapped his index finger on the table.

He didn't say a word, just stared at the incense burner in the room, and didn't move.

"But the miners are you talking about?"

Some can't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and besides, the magistrate has already made it clear.

Da! Da! Da!

The voice was crisp, and after a while, Zhixian's fingers kept tapping the table rhythmically.

"I also found out about this matter some time ago.

The stewards of the Zhou family came back some time ago, and I found that one steward had transported more miners to the mine this year than before, and most of them were slaves.

I calculated carefully, the total number of these slaves is not small, and if you want to get them, the number is so large, and the money is absolutely indispensable.

He couldn't get so much out as a steward, and when he checked it later, sure enough, he took the wrong path. ”

"So you don't mention it to this official?"

"The small people are guilty. ”

The sound of fingers tapping on the table in the house stopped abruptly.

No one spoke, and the room was quiet for a while.

The voice of the magistrate had no emotion, and finally appeared in the house after a moment of silence.

"The gambler's business, you should be the first to gamble, but wake up in time, remember your first offense, no 1,000 taels of gambling money, a fine of 100 taels, can you take it?"

"Hand over the steward involved in the case, ask the people for guilt, and fine 2,000 taels of illegal gains, can you accept it?"

The magistrate has given a solution.

Without answering immediately, Shopkeeper Zhou quickly flashed thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but look up at the person who spoke in his thoughts.

The afternoon sun shone into the house, and through the light curtain, you could see the flying dust in the darkness behind, Zhixian sat on the chair, the sunlight just covered his lips, it was a smile with a gentle breath, and further up, it was dark and unreal.

He knows that there is no need to fight, spend money to eliminate the disaster, the county is under his own steps, and if he bargains at this time, he may become the first offender, take this family business, if there are two more villains of his level, it will be no problem for the county master to be a Zhizhou.

"The adults make clear judgments, and the small people know their guilt and admit punishment. ”

"It's over, go back, don't keep your father waiting. ”

"Xiaomin has thanked the adults, please rest assured, there will be no next time. Xiaomin retired. ”

"Beggars belong to the homeless people, and have no nationality..."

The voice of the magistrate was not loud, but it made the pace of the shopkeeper Zhou stop

Shopkeeper Zhou remembered what his father had said,

"In Guobei County, as long as there is this magistrate for one day, you can't do anything wrong for a day, and you have to pay it back sooner or later. ”

He understood.

......

Let the messenger send the shopkeeper Zhou out.

The magistrate drank two sips of tea, moved his body, and shouted angrily outside the door,

"Next. ”

"Yes, sir. An errand opened the door and replied, then he placed a piece of paper on the table in front of the magistrate, bowed, took two steps back, and stepped back.

After the errand went out, the magistrate walked to the table, raised his hand to pick up the paper, looked at it carefully for a while, and pressed the paper on the table.

A few words were faintly visible on the edges of his fingers

drizzle

Burst Needle

Fine hair.......
