The main book and the county Cheng left, Zhang Zhong and his party also returned to Jinlailou. There was already a place for them to rest. Zhang Zhong could have a yard with the most tight protection. No one thought that he I chose a yard that is not so well located.
Zhang Xiaobao thought that there were 20 guards there to protect, and the current environment is very good, it is impossible to assassinate a county magistrate, so he agreed, and found his father during dinner.
"Father, let the child take a look at your seal, take a good look at night, and give it to you tomorrow." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said to their father before going to rest.
Zhang Zhong really wouldn't give it to someone else, but if his son wants to see it, let's see it. It's wrapped in silk cloth without a big seal, and the two children carry it back.
That night, the light in the yard where Zhang Zhong rested remained unextinguished overnight. If you look at the wall from the outside, you can see that there is a figure with its back to the window in the study room, which moves for a while.
In a residential house in Huayuan County, Xiaoxian Cheng and Master Zhan have not slept. They sat on the floor with some wine and vegetables on the small table in the middle, eating and drinking slowly there.
"Brother Buyong, you said that this new county magistrate, can we get him down? We also know that his family is not short of money, and it seems difficult to make him greedy for some money or take bribes from others. what."
Master Zhan asked Cheng Xiaoxian who was on the opposite side.
Xiao Xiancheng picked up the wine, took a sip, picked up the cleaned cucumber next to it, and dipped it directly into the sauce bowl, biting it and chewing slowly. This cucumber was not bought by him, nor is it Zhang Zhong gave him the two government servants, and wanted to please them, so he sent the cucumbers he had received.
Seeing that they received the cucumbers, the two government officials were very happy, but they didn't know that the two of them took the two government officials down and decided to quit them. The two of them simply thought and gave you so much. Something, just use some cucumbers to fool us, who will you give up
Waiting for a bite of cucumber to finish, Xiao Xiancheng said, "Brother Xiangyun, if you want to get him away, you can only ask him to be greedy for some money and take some bribes. That is not to think about it, but we can use it. He took those pamphlets back, what did we say? Ah? Hahahaha."
While talking, Xiao Xiancheng laughed. Master Zhan was stunned and laughed non-stop, saying, "It's not as thoughtful as we thought at the beginning. We deliberately left some problems in those books. After he looks at it and discovers it, he will look for it according to this problem, and then... he will provoke people who shouldn’t be offended.”
"That's the case, and the person he provokes really has nothing to do with the problems that appear in the booklet. What do you think that person would treat him? It's a pity, so many booklets, it takes a while. Every month, I can never finish it. Even a month is just a matter of watching the flowers. It is the sum of several years."
Xiao Xiancheng laughed for a while, and finally stopped, took another bite of the cucumber, and said, "He is also a fool. He clearly offered the recipe for the vegetables in the winter. He didn't want to be an official in Beijing. This is him. If you don't want to be it, it's not that others don't give it to him, and the credit for this advice is gone.
A good champion, went to a county, and waited for a while, who would remember him, if I were him, I would be a sixth-rank official in the capital, and I had money in my family, so I had nothing to look for. Dianren gathered together and chanted a few poems. His fame is beyond the reach. The emperor also built a pear garden. He will pay attention to it then, maybe he can give a bigger official Dangdang. "
"It's taken for granted. Who doesn't know the current emperor's preference for melody, as long as he writes a few more poems and the emperor sings more over there, it may be easy to be a servant."
Master Zhan also said with regret, and at the same time he was jealous, why can a fool-like person be admitted to the top prize, but he also became the county magistrate here. Isn't this breaking the way for himself and others
The two were eating and chatting. They ate slowly. There was no hot food on the table. It didn't need to be hot again. It didn't matter if the wine was cold. When they ate until Yinshi, the two of them hadn't finished eating. They were enthusiastic there.
After eating for a while, a knock on the window suddenly came from outside. Xiao Xiancheng went over and opened the door. A man in gray clothes lowered his head and said, "Zhang Zhong hasn't slept yet. He has been there looking at the booklet."
"Okay, go back soon and see when he goes to bed. Come and tell us when he sleeps." Xiao Xiancheng ordered, closing the door, and returning to the place where he had just been sitting cross-legged.
"Brother Buyong, what's the matter?" Master Zhan asked at this time without hearing the conversation between the two.
"Well, he hasn't slept yet. It seems that he is really a newcomer who doesn't understand anything. Go ahead and wait for tomorrow to arrange something for him and see if he can watch it at night. It's best to send some refreshments. Give him the medicine, if we don’t have to do anything else, he will be exhausted."
Xiao Xian Cheng smiled yinly, and then picked up a beef tendon and threw it into his mouth. He chewed vigorously, chewed twice, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Jinlailou was also opened by their house. Who dares to collect money for local food, they are fine, and they collect a lot of money.
I just found out today that everyone in their family has an embroidered picture like a rice seedling on their clothes. I don’t know who painted the rice seedling. It’s ugly. The guys in Jinlailou have that kind of rice seedling on their clothes. There is also a picture of Zhang Zhong's son and the little girl on their clothes. "
"Yes, I just discovered it today, but the picture doesn’t look too ugly, it’s quite interesting, just like a person, it also has eyes, well, it’s not ugly to say that it’s ugly, then tomorrow we will follow yesterday’s Do what you want?"
Master Zhan wanted to praise the cartoon rice seedling pattern, but found that Xiao Xiancheng's face was not good, so he changed his words and talked about other things.
"Well, just do that, so that he won't want to take time off all day." Xiao Xiancheng is very satisfied with Master Zhan's attitude. He should have been in a lower position, but Master Zhan is a bit stupid and listens all the time. his.
…
The next day, when I woke up in the morning, it seemed that it was time to do things. Zhang Zhong walked out of the courtyard of Jinlailou with red eyes. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s work schedules have always been relatively stable, and they also got up there. Doing morning exercises bouncing around for a while.
I cleaned up again, had breakfast, and followed my father to the yamen, still holding the silk package wrapped in a big seal yesterday, and handed it to him when he saw it.
"Xiaobao, take a few guards with you two. Let's get better in this county. For the father, go to the Yamen to handle things." Zhang Zhong said to Zhang Xiaobao, seeing the two children want to follow.
"Father, the child has never been to the lobby in the yamen, and I don't know how other people decide the case, so I just went to see it." Zhang Xiaobao knew that the two silly things that were going to be tricked for his father today, of course he can't go elsewhere. Now, he is not a child, he has no thoughts, he wants to play all day long.
"At the beginning, the government officials asked you and Juanjuan to go over and see what it was like when you were promoted, but you didn't go. Now that I remembered, I may not be promoted today. How can there be so many things?"
Zhang Zhong said that he didn’t know whether he should be proud or laugh. The yamen in Sanshui County were no different from the ones opened in his own home. When he was okay, he asked his son and daughter-in-law to play there, but the two children He said nothing, and the nephew of the emperor also said that he would let his two sons go to the mansion to have a look, but they were also rejected by the two children.
This is so much face that can be done, but now the two children want to go with them. They are not ordinary people. The church was not easy last time. Isn’t it easy to get promoted? Go back to Sanshui County, something will happen. The child was promoted once without a problem. When I wanted to come to Xiangxiang, he would not refuse. The people couldn't say anything after seeing it. Isn't it okay for the children of Zhang's family to be promoted to play once
Zhang Xiaobao was able to guess his father's thoughts, so he said: "In fact, the child is waiting for a day, waiting for Dad to rise to the hall, and see what Dad's awe-inspiring looks like."
"Let's go." Zhang Zhong will drive his son and daughter-in-law away, and the two children will not make trouble.
Under the protection of the guards, the three people came to the Yamen. As soon as they arrived, they hadn’t waited to go to the back sign room to have a look. There was a person wearing hemp and filial piety and hitting hard with his hands, there was no movement at all. The sound of the Deng Wen Drum, poof sound is ear-piercing.
"My lord, you are here finally. Someone was there to beat the drum early in the morning before dawn. It was useless for the officials to persuade him a few times, and they didn't dare to do anything to him, so I had to let him beat it. Thanks to the drum. The sound is not loud, otherwise it has to wake up the people around."
Xiao Xian Cheng came earlier, and when he saw Zhang Zhong arrived, he trot over and said to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong looked at the broken drum, naturally knowing that it would not sound, so he yawned and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"In response to the adults, I have already asked. His father died and he said he was killed. He wants to come over and let the adults help find the murderer."
Xiao Xiancheng told the case next to him, and there was no paper, just to put it by mouth, this man was called Zhang Hezizi, and he and his father arrived in Huayuan County five days ago, and they met on the mountain east of Huayuan County. A group of gangsters, their father and son were attacked by gangsters, and his father died, he got out of it by luck.
But he was not reconciled, so he secretly followed the gang of gangsters who covered his face to Yushu Village, Huayuan County, and found that a gangster had entered a yard, and he waited there for three full days. Time, I knew that the gangster was Tian Gouzi, a villager in Yushu Village.
Report the case outside the yamen today.
