Saying that this pine and Bai and Fan Bao, the two were talking happily, the door made a loud noise, and someone slammed the door and entered, and the two immediately looked back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The person who came was also a young man, about twenty-four or five, with an angry face, the whole face looked even more iron-blue, the fat lips were purple and black, and when he opened his mouth, he had yellow spots, and he spoke with a big tongue, stammering, and chattering for a long time before he could hear it.

The person who came slammed the backpack on the table, sat on the stool, turned his back to the two, took out the account book from the backpack, and turned the pages one by one.

This Fan Bao pulled Songbai out of the door, and said to Songbai in his ear: "This big tongue, surnamed Wenxuan, is a person who has fallen into the first place, and has lost three exams and three times, so he came to the Yamen for a bad time, because he speaks not very clearly, and his words are not clear, and he is often laughed at by his colleagues, so he rarely talks to us now, and he is a muffled voice and works hard." ”

"It seems that he has a grudge in his heart, and I wonder if there is something wrong with his family, or is there any trouble?" asked Songbai with concern.

"Who knows? Every day he is silent, unwilling to talk to everyone, but recently he seems to have been in a bad mood, throwing things at every turn, probably because there is something in his heart, we are also afraid that he will lose his temper, so no one dares to come forward to ask. This Fan Bao glanced into the room, shook his head and said.

Someone slapped Fan Bao's back behind his back, screamed loudly, and scared him incessantly, so he immediately scolded: "You dead monkey, every time you scare me behind my back, see if I don't catch you, pull out your skin, and sell it at the vegetable market for money." ”

Songbai Dan saw that this person was also a young man in his twenties, his face was as white as white, and the dark circles under his eyebrows appeared, even more black and shiny, with a thin and slender body, and his cheekbones were also slightly protruding, giving people a feeling of falling down when he pushed it.

Fan Bao chased after the man, and as soon as he went out of the door, he knocked down a person, and the two immediately stopped playing and chasing, and helped the person up.

This person is the head of this house, Shi Zhongyi is also! Around forty-five or sixteen, his face is pitch black and yellow, his beard has begun to turn gray and white, and the sound of light coughing is incessant.

This Shi Zhongyi was helped up, glared at the two of them angrily, stretched out his right hand and trembled and said: "Fan Bao, Hou Jie, you are really too presumptuous, rotten wood cannot be carved!

The two of them bowed their heads and were silent, silently accepting the criticism, this Shi Zhongyi's anger gradually subsided, and he waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and take this newcomer to the official's room to report and sign the card, really, I'm angry with the old man." Hmph!"

Seeing this Shi Zhongyi brushing his sleeves away, this Fan Bao hurriedly came over, patted Songbai's shoulder, and said to him: "See, this is our supervisor, Lord Shi Zhongyi, if you can hide in the future, you will be scolded when you meet Zhun Bao." ”

"New here, right? My name is Hou Jie, a native of the capital, and I haven't asked for a great name?" the thin monkey said to Song Bai.

"In Xia Songbai, I will be a colleague in the future, please give me a lot of advice, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me. Songbai clenched his fists and said to him.

"Let's go to the official's room to sign a report first? Wait for the old master to come out, it will inevitably be another scolding, let's go." Fan Bao said to the two.

Fan Bao gently knocked on the door, and the old gentleman in the office lowered his head and raised his head slightly, squinted slightly, and waved his hand and said: "Go and get the cards and leave, don't send them." ”

Fan Bao bent down and whispered to the old man: "We have a newcomer report here, you can sign a name tag, or report it, and you will receive a salary at the end of the month." ”

Songbai immediately came forward, and the old gentleman glanced at it again, and asked softly: "This is not a place for the elderly, what cats and dogs are stuffed here, and at the end of the month, it is really unreasonable!"

Songbai then bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Old man, in the lower Songbai, I have just arrived, and I will ask the old gentleman to bear with me in the future, if there is anything wrong, please just say it." ”

"Hmph, take it. The old man snorted angrily, wrote his name with a brush on the bamboo block, carved it with a knife, and threw it to the ground.

Songbai then bent down to pick it up, clenched his fists and bent down and said angrily: "Thank you, old man, if there is anything wrong in the future, it is okay to say it clearly, thank you old man, let's go!"

The old man ignored him and recorded his name, and Songbai and the others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak out and quickly left.

This Hou Jie complained a little, and said angrily: "This old man Meng, every time he is like this, he failed to take the exam in Beijing, and he doesn't like anyone all day long, and he thinks that others rely on relationships to come to this yamen to mix silver." ”

"It turns out that you and I came in by connection, didn't we? Haha! Don't complain, let's go back quickly, and that old antique will be in trouble with us." Fan Bao smiled and pulled Hou Jie, patted Songbai's shoulder, and the three of them went back to the house.

At the door of this house, Shi Zhongyi put his hands behind his back, looking at the three of them with a heavy face, and Songbai and the others hurriedly bent down and bowed their heads in, took out the account book in their backpacks, bowed their heads and said nothing, and began to get busy.

Song Bai looked at everyone, a little at a loss, the old man's manager, Shi Zhongyi came over, gently knocked on the table, and said to him: "In the afternoon, you and this Gu Wenxuan, go to Liming Township to collect taxes and pay grain, if you don't understand anything, ask him, do you know?"

Songbai looked at Gu Wenxuan, watching him work hard, without the slightest slackness, Hou Jie next to him quietly leaned over and said softly: "You are really lucky?

Seeing Shi Zhongyi turn his head, Hou Jie hurriedly returned to the table and sat down, pretending to be immersed in hard work, this Fan Bao couldn't help but cover his mouth and bow his head to steal fun.

On this day, Song Bai and Gu Wenxuan came out of the county gate, and the two of them carried the account book on their backs and went to the countryside side by side to collect taxes.

At the head of the dawn village, the land guard was already waiting here, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Wenxuan and Songbai coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

"You can be regarded as coming, I will take you there, door to door, to introduce you one by one, this Dawn Township, said not big, said small is not small, a total of 380 households, scattered and lived. The landlord waved his hand and led the way in front of him.

This Liming Township is also considered a big township, every year this is handed over to the grain, it is one of the best in Nancheng County, there is a street in the township that is not wide or narrow, not long and not short, the name is Minghua Street, it is the place where the villagers gather to catch the market, there are the squires and tyrants to open the medicine shop rice shop, and there are also the restaurants and tea shops run by the villagers themselves.

The pine and cypress and this ancient Wenxuan, with the arrival of the land protection, went to each of these households, one by one, and unknowingly, this is already the time of night.

Songbai pointed to the sunset on the horizon, suddenly felt a little tired, and said to the two people: "It's not too early, let's stop here today, how about we continue tomorrow?

This land is a little embarrassed, and he said: "They come to collect taxes, they all return on the same day, you have just arrived, the place is a little unfamiliar, and this procedure also delays too much time, alas! It's not that I don't want to take you in, it's just that the family is poor to wash, and there is really no place for you, so it's better to be like this, there is an old house in the east of this village, why don't you be wronged for the time being, and I will come to pick you up tomorrow?"

The two of them were a little helpless, but they didn't want to sleep in the wilderness, so they followed the land protection and went to this old mansion where no one lived......
