Chapter 382: The County Government

"I'm not afraid, I heard that your Uncle Yu's family has some kinship with Master Xing, and we can entrust him. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" said that Mrs. Hu had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and finally thought of a way to save Master Hu.

The "Uncle Yu" of Master Hu in her mouth is Master Hu's business partner, and Master Xing is the right-hand man of the county master. In ancient times, officials generally had a master under them, also known as a curtain friend, a curtain guest, a curtain guest, etc., such as Li Yuanfang in Di Renjie's side and Gongsun Ce under Bao Zheng's hands...... Of course, this is still something that hasn't happened now, but the master can almost be said to be the standard in officialdom.

When Hu Gongzi heard this, he finally settled down, then turned around and walked to the courtyard, saying as he walked: "Mother, you are waiting at home, I will prepare things and go to Uncle Yu's house......"

"Ahem!" Suddenly two coughs interrupted him, only to hear Zhong Kui say: "Brother Hu Xian, you don't have to be like this. According to Zhong, Ling Zun was wronged, and Zhang Zhenren was them. If there is only Ling Zun, it is not unreasonable for you to be so worried. But if you think about Zhang Zhenren's ability, with Zhang Zhenren here, what can happen to Ling Zun?"

"But ......"

"There is nothing that is unavoidable, and if Brother Hu Xian really wants to ask for someone, it is also unavoidable. But Brother Hu Xian, forgive me for being a brother, dare to ask what is the relationship between your father and your 'Uncle Yu'?"

"This ...... It's okay......" Hu Gongzi said uncertainly, and then explained that his father and his "Uncle Yu" were business partners.

Zhong Kui sighed when he heard this: "Brother Hu Xian, Brother Hu Xian, think about it, there is such a big crime of murder, and there is a haunting...... Haunted and dead is not one person or two people, unless your father has a fateful friendship with your 'Uncle Yu', how can he care? Moreover, even if your 'Uncle Yu' can take care of it, he needs to have a fateful friendship with that 'Master Xing', otherwise that 'Master Xing' will not care. Moreover, the words of 'Master Xing' must also have a lot of weight in the heart of the county commander in order to save Ling Zun's life. Otherwise, if there is a missing link in this, then Master Xing and the county order will make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that no matter how many people you entrust, no matter how much money you spend, no matter how many gifts you give, it will be useless. ”

"Then what should we do?" Hu Gongzi panicked again: "Brother Zhong, you are well-informed, give me a way." My dad was taken away, and I can't just watch my dad go......"

"Don't worry about it. Zhong Kui groaned: "It's better to go to your 'Uncle Yu' house first to see if there is a way." If not, or if your family goes bankrupt, don't bother with him...... At least for the time being, it is not necessary for the brothers, and they also go to the yamen incognito to take a look, and it is not known whether Zhang Zhenren has a way to exonerate them, or if there is any other turnaround. ”

"Okay! Then there is Brother Lao Zhong!" Hu Gongzi was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly gave Zhong Kui a salute.

Zhong Kui stretched out his hand to help him up, and explained two more sentences, telling him to be calm, not to panic, and to lose an inch. Then he took a beating, and his figure immediately disappeared, and he flew into the air and flew towards the county yamen.

Even though it was daytime, his ability to be a "ghost" was not limited much.

At the same time, in the county office, Zhang Xuanqing and others had been pressed to the lobby.

The county hall is very dilapidated, and even the wall skin has begun to fall off, and the furnishings in the hall are also "quaint".

This is almost an "unspoken rule" of ancient officialdom, but anyone who is an official, especially a county official, will not repair the yamen. On the one hand, it does not cost money to repair the yamen? If the yamen is built magnificently, the imperial court will not think that it is corrupt and looting the people's fat and ointment? and it is easy to fall into the hands of the people; on the other hand, since ancient times, the county order has been to serve in each place for three years, and after three years, he has the opportunity to be promoted or transferred to another place. If you fix this, in the end, you still have to give it to others? If you don't let it, it will be even worse, a lifetime in this is equivalent to a lifetime of not being promoted, do you say sad urging?

Therefore, all the ancient yamen, it is really more dilapidated than the other. Majesty, perhaps, but that's also a psychological factor. This is the second time Zhang Xuanqing has come to Yamen, anyway, he has a strong ability to bear it in his heart, and he is not afraid at all.

Also not afraid are Li Yuanba, Di Renjie, and Luo Siyuan. Among the three, Li Yuanba was too stunned and didn't know what it meant to be afraid; Di Renjie was too young and didn't know what to be afraid of; and Luo Siyuan had confidence in his "master" and couldn't be afraid. However, Di Renying and Master Hu were more worried than the other, and they were uneasy.

"Master, the suspect has been brought, can you be promoted to the court?" At this time, there was only one middle-aged man in his forties or fifties in the county hall, sitting on a side seat, and it was that Master Xing. escorted Zhang Xuanqing and a few people into the lobby, and the leading officer asked Master Xing about it.

That Master Xing was skinny, half of his head was white-haired, and he had a handful of goatee. Hearing this, the old god said, "Well, you're back, you guys wait here first, I'll ask the master." After speaking, he got up unhurriedly and walked towards the inner hall.

After a while, Master Xing walked out with a middle-aged man who was also in his forties and fifties. Compared with Master Xing, this one is pot-bellied and wearing an official robe, which is Cao Renshan, the county magistrate of Qingshan County.

This Cao Renshan has been reading poetry since he was a child, the only pity is that he is not digested well, he has read books for more than 30 years, and at the age of forty, he was able to gain fame and was photographed here as a county magistrate. This year is his first year as an official, and he was full of confidence and planned to govern one side of the water and soil, and then he was appreciated by the emperor. I don't ask for any marquis to worship the prime minister, as long as I can be a Beijing official, it is also green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

However, before he could show his strength, ghosts began to rise in the county, and more than a dozen lives were killed as soon as he made a fuss. In the past few days, Cao Ren's hair has been turning white. It is not a trivial matter to know that human life is at stake. At present, if he can solve the case of dozens of lives, if he can't solve it, when the "year-end summary" comes, he can't be guaranteed, how can he not be in a hurry?

Fortunately, God has eyes, and the ancestor appeared to let him know the identity of the real murderer in his dream last night......

Thinking of last night's dream, Cao Renshan couldn't help but shudder. After a glance, he saw that everyone was looking at him, coughed lightly, sat down and patted the startled tree, and shouted: "Ascend to the hall!"

"Might--Wu-" As Cao Renshan shouted, the three classes of officials lined up on both sides, holding water and fire sticks, shouting Tang Wei. Master Hu and Di Renying were so frightened that they knelt subconsciously, and Di Renying didn't forget to kneel Di Renjie before kneeling. It was Luo Siyuan, seeing that Zhang Xuanqing and Li Yuanba did not move, his eyes rolled, and he also stood behind Zhang Xuanqing and did not move.

"Bold!" (To be continued.) )
