"Zhou Dafu was rich in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, autumn. Fifty acres of paddy fields and fifty acres of dry land were sold to He Ming's family for one thousand taels of silver. Money and goods are cleared. ”

This is the document that Zhou Papi wrote before leaving.

He Xuan flicked the piece of paper and threw it to He Ming: "This hundred acres of land, I'll leave it to you to put away." ”

He Father He Ming, He Brother He Jin, and He Little Sister He Qi, the three of them are still stunned, and they can't believe what they have seen.

In their eyes, what kind of person is Zhou Papi, he is the first capable person in Zhuqiao Village, a person who covers the sky in the village.

And such a person was forcibly overturned by He Xuan, and honestly gave a hundred acres of land.

That's a hundred acres of land!

The He family has worked hard for so many years to save up to eight acres of land.

One hundred acres of land, one acre of paddy field is about twelve taels of silver, and one acre of dry land is about six taels to eight taels.

For the poor He family, this is definitely a huge amount of money.

He Ming looked at this paperwork, and still felt a little dizzy.

He Jin pinched himself suddenly: "I must be dreaming." ”

He Qi's eyes also flashed with stars: "Second brother, you are too powerful." ”

"Of course I'm amazing. He Xuan stroked He Qi's head and smiled.

"No, Zhou Papi, I heard that he also has a very strong relationship in the county government, so he can't stop like this. "Father He Ming is older after all, and he has experienced more, and he was not carried away by the victory in front of him.

"What tricks can he play in the palm of my hand, don't forget, I am now a real seven-rank military general of the imperial court, the general banner." He Xuan sneered.

Hearing He Xuan say this, He Ming, He Jin and others estimated it.

It seems, it seems, that it is indeed the seventh-rank military attache of the imperial court who is more powerful.

In comparison, a rich man in the countryside is really nothing.

After He Xuan appeased He Ming, He Jin and He Qi, he thought about it if Zhou Papi really had a trick. Then there is only one possible way - the county office. It is said that he has a deep relationship in the county office. Acquainted with a certain warden. But the warden put it bluntly, he was just an official.

He Xuan decided to go to Wuxian County in person.

......

Wuxian County Ya, covering an area of several acres.

There are 3 main doors and 5 wide halls. The wooden components are all painted with flowers and birds, and the postures are different and lifelike. The pillar is embedded with a pair of wood couplets: "If you deceive others, you will not deceive yourself; In the middle of the lobby hangs the "Wuxian main hall" gold-lettered plaque, under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, the front of the pavilion stands a sea-facing screen, and hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Mingjing Gaohanging". The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the table is placed with the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, which is the arrow frame on the left, and there is a black folding fan on the right. There are two bluestones on the left and right sides in front of the warm pavilion, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.

There are meeting halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows on the back side of the lobby, which are soap rooms. After the soap room, it is to the Chongguang door, and the door hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Tianli Guoju". The cloister-style corridor is surrounded by rooms on both sides, the door is too heavy, there are double cloisters with heavy eaves on both sides, and the front is the piano room, with 5 rooms wide. There are matching rooms on both sides of the courtyard behind the hall, and there are corridors under the front and rear eaves, and the front is the welcome hall. Out of the welcome hall and into the courtyard, the front is three halls, and the left and right are cloister-style rooms.

He Xuan walked to the county yamen.

Immediately, a servant shouted, "Who are you? This is a county office, and you can't trespass." ”

He Xuan directly threw out the waist card: "See it clearly." ”

The officials of the county government couldn't help but change their complexion when they saw the ebony waist card engraved with the word "general flag" on it.

The general flag is the official seven-rank military general of the imperial court.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emphasis was on literature and light on martial arts, and the seven-rank military generals were naturally not as good as the county orders of the seven-rank civil officials, but if you want to pinch them to death, it is not too simple.

The pair of ordinary people were fierce and vicious, with a flattering smile on their faces: "It turned out to be Lord Zongqi, I will go inside immediately to inform you, please wait a while." ”

"Good. He Xuan nodded.

After a while, the official rushed out: "Lord Zhixian invites Lord Zongqi to go in, please ask Lord Zongqi to follow behind the small one, and let the small one lead the way." ”

He was led by this servant into the back of the servant and ran to a study in the back hall.

In it, there is a thin and elegant middle-aged man wearing a scholar's robe and a few long beards, reading a book.

After he saw He Xuan, he couldn't help but be stunned, stood up, and smiled: "In Xiawu County, Zhang Xingzhou, I don't know which general flag Your Excellency is? ”

"Under is the general flag under the Xingzhou Mansion of Xuanfu Town, surnamed He Mingxuan. He Xuan actually wanted to say at this time: "That's because you don't have much knowledge." Earn some negative sentiment points.

But I thought that this time I was asking someone to do something. It's not good to scare people like this again, alas, when I recently returned to the original owner's hometown, I didn't scare people well. If you return to Qingshandun, you must be ruthless.

"It turned out to be the general flag under the Xingzhou Mansion in Xuanfu Town, no wonder I don't know it. Wait!" Zhang Xingzhou Zhang Zhixian listened, but frowned: "I saw a battle report not long ago, which said that Xuanfu Town Xingzhou Mansion, there is a soldier below, killed twelve Tartars, and was promoted to the general flag because of his merits, and his name is He Xuan, it won't be you." ”

In this year, most of the magistrates are eating and waiting to die, and they have nothing to do with corruption.

However, there are also a very small number of officials, which is very clear.

For example, Zhang Xingzhou is a very sober and ambitious official.

Although he is just an ordinary magistrate, he has an overall vision.

He has long seen that the great trouble of the Ming Dynasty is the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, and maybe, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by the Manchus.

Therefore, he has been paying attention to the news of the border pass, and it just so happens that he has a childhood friend who is a thousand households at the border pass, that is, Zhang Shizhong Zhang Qianhu. So if he was fine, he went to Zhang Qianhu to inquire about the news of the border war.

Not long ago, Zhang Shizhong sent a letter, saying that he had a tiger general under him, named He Xuan, who killed twelve Tartars in one person, which is simply amazing.

Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Zhixian took this name to heart. thinks that Da Ming is lacking a tiger general like He Xuan.

Therefore, when he heard He Xuan report to his home, he couldn't help but be excited for a while.

"Yes, it's me. He Xuan nodded.

Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Zhixian were even more excited at this moment: "Sure enough, it's you, it's really you." One man killed twelve Tartars, and two white tooth soldiers, and the credit was great. Good, good, good! What I admire most is a fierce general who can kill a Tartar. You and I are not polite, just how brothers are commensurate. ”

In terms of rank, Zhang Xingzhou, a seventh-rank civil official, is higher than He Xuan's official position of a seventh-rank military general. He was so excited, He Xuan could only nod in response.

"Brother He, what do you have to do with my brother, let's talk about it. Zhang Xingzhou said.

He Xuan also told him what happened at home, and began to say that Zhou Peel came to the door to blackmail, and said that he knocked back: "After all, this is in the locality, not in the army, and some of my methods are not easy to use." I heard that this week's wealth has some connections in the county government. ”

Zhang Xingzhou said in a big way: "This matter is a trivial matter, you are an officer in the army, and you are not very effective in the local government." But brother, I'm the county commander, and I'm in charge of these hundred miles. If Zhou Dafu dares to make trouble with the yamen, I promise that Zhou Dafu will be brought back to life. You can rest assured. ”

"When the time comes, please invite your family to have a meal together, and after you leave, if they have any trouble, they can come to me directly. ”

"Then it's troublesome Brother Zhang. He Xuan said.

Zhang Xingzhou shouted: "Come on, prepare wine and food, let me and my brother have a good drink." ”

During the banquet, Zhang Xingzhou kept asking He Xuan, the passage of the pair of twelve Tartars in the first battle, and he listened to it with his eyebrows. I just wish that he also had unparalleled force and could go to the battlefield to kill the Tartars.
