"Too much deceit! My lord, this subordinate is going to smash the door right now, I don't believe that old man dares to block you!" Zhang Butou said angrily. Sometimes it's even more terrifying.
Zhuang Zhong raised his hand to stop him, "Why do you need to break into your own house? The place where you lived yesterday is not far from here. Let's stay there tonight."
The others stared in disbelief, is this admitting cowardice
Fang Yingying was also short-tempered, and said unwillingly: "Why?! You are the master of this Mei County now, why do you want to be fiddled with by others! Don't be afraid, let alone the prince, just rely on the guards we brought , is enough to run rampant in this county!"
The guards were already familiar with Zhuang Zhong and Fang Yingying, and they responded when they heard this, "Yes, we are not afraid of these people! My lord, you don't need to be afraid."
Only Master Tong was very calm, stroked his beard and said: "Your Excellency must have his reasons for this, we just need to listen."
Although the others didn't understand, they no longer had any objections, and obeyed the solemn arrangement.
Zhuang Zhong and his party did not shy away from it, walking around in Mei County to show that they had come. It didn't take long for the whole Mei County to learn that the new county magistrate had taken office, but was locked out of the yamen. Seeing that Zhuang Zhong was so young, they all sighed.
Fang Yingying didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuangzhuang's gourd, so she couldn't help asking about it on the way out of the city, and said solemnly: "Since I have the prince as my backer, I don't have the patience to spend time on these useless things. Meixian County is poor not only because of corrupt officials. There are a lot of places where it’s hard to clean up. So I either don’t do anything, or I uproot it.”
Fang Yingying understood after hearing this, and didn't ask any further questions. Although he has a reputation for solemnity, he is young after all, and his strengths in the past were only in adjudicating cases, so he doesn't understand the way of the officialdom. Fang Yingying asked many times because she was worried, and she felt relieved after hearing Zhuang Zhong's words.
"It's just that my sister's embroidery shop may not be able to open for a while. Everyone knows that you are my sister. My foundation is not stable. I'm afraid you will make trouble because of my son."
Fang Yingying smiled and said: "It's not so fast to really start a business. The customs here are very different from those in the capital, and the things I like are also different. I have to get familiar with it before I start, otherwise I will lose money to the end. It's just this period of time. Relying on you will save me from making ends meet."
Zhuang Zhong was surprised, "My sister said that because she wants to live in the yamen with me."
Fang Yingying raised her eyebrows, "Why? Not happy?"
"Of course not, it's just that we are not real siblings after all, so I'm afraid it will damage your reputation. If I help you rent a house near the yamen, you have to avoid suspicion."
"Just kidding, even if you and I are happy, the prince must tear me apart." Fang Yingying giggled.
Solemn and embarrassing, people in this life accept homosexuality more openly than in previous lives. Think about it, homosexuals were not allowed to get married in the previous life, but here two men can get married and are protected by the law, but women are not allowed to do so.
Feng Huan was guarding the fork in the early days, seeing Zhuang Zhong's group coming from afar, with a smile on his face.
For a moment, Zhuang Zhong suspected that Feng Huan was causing the trouble, otherwise why would he smile so brightly.
Feng Huan guessed the solemn plan, and only let him do it without worrying about it, so he didn't ask further, because he trusted him to handle it well. The two slept in each other's arms again at night, and now they are used to it. The solemnity is no longer as repulsive as it was at the beginning, and it is even more secure to sleep with someone.
Before Mao, Feng Huan got up. Zhuang Zhong also suppressed his sleepiness and got up from the bed. He was still dizzy and couldn't open his eyelids. Probably because he is growing his body, so he is particularly lethargic, unlike before when he received a task, no matter what time he would wake up quickly.
"If you can't get up, it's not too late to visit later." Feng Huan whispered when he saw him.
Zhuang Zhong rubbed his face with his hands, yawned and said: "It was agreed yesterday, you can still be so energetic when you get up so early, it's all because of the huge gap between people."
"Look at your clothes are all upside down, stand still and don't move." Feng Huan stripped off Zhuang Zhong's wrong clothes, and then helped him put them on one by one, Zhuang Zhong woke up completely.
"No, I can do it myself."
"Stand still, this is the first time this king helps someone dress, don't mess it up." Feng Huan patted Zhuang Zhong's butt very naturally, making Zhuang Zhuang very speechless but did not dare to move.
Feng Huan seemed to have acquired something new, and he was very interested in helping Zhuang Zhuang to play with it. The obviously simple clothes had been worn for a long time and he couldn't get them right.
"Why aren't you alright? I'm going to be late!"
Feng Huan saw that it was really late, so he gave up, "I still have the ability, you are much more handsome than usual today."
"Thank you very much."
"It's okay, next time you help me dress it up."
…
Is this going to play a dress-up game
For three days in a row, Zhuang Zhong was rejected. Zhuang Zhong was not in a hurry, he was still wandering around the county every day, and he was not idle, taking the opportunity to find out the situation in Mei County.
Until the fourth day, the gate of the county government finally opened. This time, Zhuang Zhong didn't wear casual clothes like the previous few days, but appeared in official clothes.
The master secretary, Xu Cai, was the first to greet him, bowing and saluting, "I don't know that my lord came to the county today. If I miss a long way to welcome you, please don't blame me. I am the master secretary, my surname is Xu Mingcai, and I have met you."
Xu Cai is a thin old man with twinkling mouse eyes, very shrewd.
Zhang Butou said angrily: "Our lord has arrived at the county government four days ago, but there is no one in the county government all the time!"
Master Xu was shocked, "This, this is really a coincidence. I don't know that your lord will be here in a few days. It just so happens that something happened in the countryside, and everyone has been transferred out. Now the county captain He is not free yet. Please make amends, my lord."
Zhuang Zhong looked surprised, "There are so many things going on in the county? Are the yamen emptied?"
"Isn't it? It's said that there are many troublesome people in the poor mountains and evil waters. There are too many ignorant people in Meixian County, so every time something happens, it can't be suppressed by not adding more people. But in the future, there will be adults around. Don't worry, adults will definitely train these little people to be submissive."
"Oh? There is such a thing. If this is the case, I will trouble the master to write down what everyone in the yamen has done in the past few days. I am a person who is rewarded and punished. I have done great things, and I have to write them down so that I can reward them.”
Master Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "That's unnecessary, everyone is paid to do things, and it should be done."
"This matter can't be ambiguous. Besides, I also want to know whether they can do anything. If so many people are incompetent or what. If we need to send so many yamen servants, I'm afraid they are not thieves but rebels! I have to find out. I have been traveling around the countryside these days, and I know about everything. Although I am young and have no special skills, I just have a good memory. As long as you tell me, I will know who it is."
Zhuang Zhong smiled gently, but Master Xu felt numbness in the top of his head for some reason.
"This… "
Zhuang raised his eyebrows, "Why, is it possible that the master doesn't know?"
"This is the new county magistrate? I'm sorry, please don't blame me if I miss you."
A burly man came and interrupted the conversation between the two, and there was no respect between his words.
Master Xu hurriedly introduced each other to the two.
Zhuang Zhong only nodded slightly, and asked He Xianwei the same question.
He Xianwei said: "It's all in my mind. If you want a reward, just give it to me and I'll divide it up."
"Then please County Captain He pour out what's in your mind, I like to present awards to others myself."
"Why is it so troublesome! The county magistrate has never been so verbose before." County Captain He was very impatient.
Zhuang Zhong was not angry, and said with a smile: "So they were transferred away, and the county magistrate was transferred here. The county magistrate He is so rude, is there something hidden? Could it be that the county magistrate He can't suppress these yamen servants, so I don't know anything and I'm afraid of losing face in front of the county magistrate, so I'm so vague on purpose. Don't be afraid, Lieutenant He, because the county magistrate is in charge of you, and you can't be wronged."
He Xianwei's mouth twitched, whether this person is really stupid or not.
"Counter He's not saying anything is acquiescing? It just so happened that I thought it was troublesome at first, so I can save trouble by coincidentally with Captain He at this time." Zhuang Zhong said loudly towards the door: "Everyone listen, just now the county Ling discussed with He County Captain and Master Xu. According to your usual actions, you feel that you have failed your job. Since you have acted improperly, our county government cannot tolerate you. From today, everyone will go back to each house and will no longer be hired! "
In Dayou, the county magistrate can appoint and dismiss government servants without reporting, but I have never heard of any county magistrate who removed all the government servants as soon as he came. Isn’t this self-destructing the Great Wall! Without the support of the elderly, the county magistrate is just a poor commander.
As soon as this remark came out, the pot immediately exploded.
Master Xu jumped up immediately, "My lord, you can't do this! All the yamen servants are gone, isn't this county yamen messed up?"
"What our Dayou lacks most is people, and what Meixian County lacks most is people. Although the yamen servant is not a good job, it is still enough to eat and eat. After this wave, there will be people who come later. What are you afraid of? Besides I still have so many bodyguards, so I can't mess it up."
He Xianwei winked at those yamen servants, and all the yamen servants condemned them one after another.
Zhuang Zhong said unhurriedly: "If you don't want to pack your bags and go home, just honestly tell me where you have been and what you have done these past few days, don't try to deceive me, I have not been idle these few days. "
Everyone looked around, and the last yamen servant stepped forward, "My lord, I have been..."
"Wait." Solemn interrupted, everyone was confused.
Master Tong came up at this time, "Are you Wang San?"
The yamen servant nodded, very surprised and said: "Master knows me?"
Mr. Tong stroked his beard, "Wang San, the wall of the third house on the left at the east street entrance is solid, isn't that dog next door really annoying?"
Wang San directly sat on the ground with one leg limp, his face full of shock, "Master, master, you, you..."
Zhuang Zhong smiled slightly, "Wang San, now you can tell where you have been these few days."
