Chapter 4 Delays
What kind of person is Ouyang Xiao? No one knows, maybe not even himself. Maybe he can't tell what he should be doing, and only when he is bored before and after tea, he occasionally thinks of himself... It turned out to be a head catcher. Speaking of Ouyang Xiao, the head catcher, I have to talk about it, Ouyang Xiao has been doing this position for ten years, and he has never been late or left early for work in the past ten years, and he has not even asked for leave, because most of the time he is directly absent from work.
What's interesting is that none of the local magistrates who have changed three counties dare to fire him for squid, and what's even more interesting is that Ouyang Xiao often gets the opportunity to be promoted, I really don't know what those people on the six doors think, a person who walks the streets and alleys all day long, and hardly does anything serious all day long, will actually get promoted!
But Ouyang Xiao is still here, he didn't leave here because of his career, maybe he hates officialdom, maybe it's a young man's family mentality, maybe... It's because of some sad past events that he doesn't want to mention.
Ten years, maybe very long, maybe very short, is so long that a person can forget his own beliefs and turn from a head catcher admired by everyone into a robber leader who kills people without blinking; it can also make an infatuated teenager get out of the shadow of love and live again; of course, it is enough to make a first-class member of the court become a nine-rank magistrate with more than one and one less, and one less and no less. Time, it's a magical thing.
How small is the county seat? If you drop a sesame seed on a provincial map, it is likely that it will just suppress the location of this land, basically you can imagine how difficult it is for Ding Chuan to find here, I really don't understand, how a peerless master like Ouyang Xiao loves to nest here.
This small county is not prosperous, but there is a natural harmony, unlike other places, there is not a beggar along the way, the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, the poorer the place, the more the poor, the richer the place is the richer, people often feel that where the feng shui is good, and gather there in piles, thus promoting the local economic development, and will also stagnate the development of the original place of residence, which will naturally cause the development of the well-developed city to become more and more rich, so that the development of backward areas is getting poorer and poorer, which belongsThe "swarm effect".
The reason why there are still people in Luchi City remembered, maybe it's just because there is a celebrity named Ouyang Xiao, how famous is Ouyang Xiao? Generally speaking, a normal person over the age of three who is over three years old will never have heard of this name on the street, and older people may know where Ouyang Xiao lives, and naturally they will also know this place in Luchi County, which is called the celebrity effect, for example, people often know that Nezha's father is called Li Jing, but they often don't know that Nezha has a mother surnamed Yin; people often hear that Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor, but few people know that he is the son of Yang Tengjiao.
Ding Chuan really wanted to know what Ouyang Xiao had done in this place for ten years, and Zhang Kui, the fourth magistrate of the county, had been here for less than two years, and he had suddenly put Ouyang Xiao's economy in good shape for eight years, which had given the place a new economic atmosphere.
As soon as he walked in, Ding Chuan was stunned, retreated step by step, looked up at the plaque, and saw that it was indeed the four words "Luchi County Ya".
But looking at the scene inside the county office, Ding Chuan really wanted to vomit blood, no wonder there was no beggar on the road, it turned out that all the beggars were hidden here, and this county was too... I'm too good at being an official!
A middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes walked out of the yazhong, this person looked like he was about forty years old, he was wearing a tattered linen robe, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that made the scalp tingle, how could it be? Ding Chuan sniffed it with his nose again, only to find that it was not a murderous aura, but the smell of not taking a bath for many days.
The middle-aged man glanced up and down at Ding Chuan a few times, and said, "Little brother, aren't you a local?"
Ding Chuan glanced at him and said coldly, "So what?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "No, no, it's just that if you have any trouble, maybe I can help you." ”
Ding Chuan glanced at the person with distrust and said, "Your Excellency is...?"
The middle-aged man said: "I am the county magistrate here... Zhang Kui. ”
Ding Chuan was surprised: "You are Zhang Kui?"
Zhang Kui looked at himself and said, "Is there a problem?"
Ding Chuan's eyes were as big as an egg: "You are Zhang Kui?"
Zhang Kui said: "Can't you?"
Ding Chuan didn't seem to believe his ears and eyes, and said, "What? are you Zhang Kui?"
Zhang Kui still smiled and said: "Little brother, you're not a repeater, why do you say one sentence so many times." ”
Ding Chuan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord County Commander, please make decisions for the grass people." ”
Zhang Kui hurriedly helped Ding Chuan up and said, "Little brother, don't do you, what's your trouble, let's go to the yazhong to talk slowly, please!"
Ding Chuan hurriedly said: "It's better for adults to invite first." ”
Zhang Kui was no longer polite, and walked towards the yazhong, and Ding Chuan hurriedly followed.
It would be more appropriate to say that it is a county office, but rather a slum, and there are few workers in it who are neatly dressed, no!
Ding Chuan pointed at these people, and before he could speak, Zhang Kui said: "Most of these people are homeless, it's not that they don't have the ability to survive, but... They have long been deprived of the right to live, and I can't change everyone's minds, but I can use my ability to make these people exchange their labor for the possibility of survival. ”
Ding Chuan hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zhang's heart is really admirable. ”
Zhang Kui said: "Don't dare." ”
When he arrived in the hall, Zhang Kui sat on the chair and motioned for Ding Chuan to sit down as well, Ding Chuan was not polite, just sat down in a seat, and then Zhang Kui said: "This official has nothing to do with the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, I don't know what the little brother is here to teach?"
Ding Chuan was suddenly stunned, from the time he entered the door to the present, he had never mentioned his identity, and it was really strange that Zhang Kui knew that he was a member of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau.
Zhang Kui seemed to see his thoughts, so he said: "Little brother's sword spike is a dragon tail spike unique to the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau. ”
Ding Chuan turned his head to look at the sword spike of the Mourning Sword, and said with a smile: "The grass man's surname is Ding Mingchuan, and he is a dart master of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, and he passed by Shuangfeng Mountain a few days ago..."
Zhang Kui asked, "This dart was robbed by Sima Ming?" Ding Chuan nodded.
Zhang Kui said: "Are you here to find the laughing god to catch?"
Ding Chuan smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart: It's not easy, I didn't say a word, and everyone finished it for me.
Zhang Kui took a sip of tea and said, "Do you think that the matter has succeeded, and you are very happy?"
Ding Chuan smiled: "Of course, I thought it would be so difficult for Ouyang to catch the head..."
Zhang Kui also smiled: "But Ouyang Xiao doesn't seem to have agreed yet, right?"
Ding Chuan said: "He is a quick catcher, is it not a matter of your words? Could it be that Lord Zhang is unwilling to help?"
Zhang Kui smiled and waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood, I mean, Ouyang Xiao... Hehe, how to say it, this person... Whether I can find him now is a question... Belch... This person, wandering between the markets all day long, although this county is not very big, but you know, looking for someone is completely in one fate, and it depends on you whether you can find it or not. But I can warn you, he's..."
Ding Chuan stood in the middle of the road to the market.
"If you want to find Ouyang Xiao, you must first meet someone. Zhang Kui's voice echoed in Ding Chuan's ears, "Since the Jiao family's tragedy, although Ouyang Xiao has vowed not to marry for the rest of his life, fate has been involved in this matter... No one can say well, so Ouyang Xiao has also met one or two confidantes in recent years, one of them, you may have heard, is a peerless beauty in today's martial arts, and she is also in Luochi County at the moment, although she is a woman in the dust, but she has an outstanding scheming and conduct, you go to the Frost Building, maybe you will gain something. ”
Frost Building, Ding Chuan looked up at this building, although it is not luxurious, but it has elegance and temperament, from the appearance of this house, you can imagine what kind of woman the owner is.
Ding Chuan straightened his hair and walked in, and then he heard a sentence that made people's scalp tingle: "Ouch! This hero is so good-looking!" The old bustard jumped out in his arms, and Ding Chuan hurriedly flashed.
The old bustard was flashed like this and almost fell, but this smiling face was confiscated, but it was also a kind of realm, and he said: "It's the first time for the hero to come to the shop, right?"
Not to mention the first time he came to the Frost Building, Ding Chuan came to the brothel for the first time, so he was naturally a little uncomfortable with the frivolous teasing of many beauties, so he said honestly about the bustard's question: "Old woman, it is indeed the first time for me to come to this kind of place." ”
The bustard was a little angry, but the anger of a person who did this kind of work would not be shown on his face at all. Ding Chuan added: "Old woman, you are very old!"
The old bustard didn't get angry this time, but he also saw that Ding Chuan was a nerd who didn't understand the amorous feelings, so he simply asked directly: "Is the hero here looking for someone, or is he here to have fun?"
In fact, the answer is clear in the bustard's heart, and it is just a work need to ask again.
Ding Chuan said: "Old woman, I came here to find a person named Ouyang Xiao, I didn't know he could be here." ”
The old bustard said a little angrily: "I haven't been here for many days, if you want to find him, you should go to the Shen Mansion." ”
Ding Chuan clenched his fists and said, "Thank you!" After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but the old bustard grabbed him, "Hero, you haven't given the money yet!"
Ding Chuan was confused and asked, "Give money?"
The old bustard's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "The old lady has been chatting with you for a long time, do you think it's free!
Ding Chuan was even more puzzled, "Old woman, why is this, I didn't eat you or drink yours, why should I give money?"
The old bustard crossed his waist and said, "Hmph... Boy, I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run, this rule, geese have to pluck their feathers, if you don't give the old lady a few taels of silver today, see if the old lady doesn't arrest you to see the official. ”
Several guys rushed out with guys and surrounded Ding Chuan, who snorted coldly and held the hilt of the sword.
Suddenly, I heard a woman upstairs say sweetly: "Mom, since this son has no money, why should you embarrass him again?"
