When the people at the foot of the mountain were busy, Master Zhan and Xiao Xiancheng were also busy at home. They were busy looking for things and the prints were gone.
"Who saw my seal?" Xiao Xiancheng kept repeating this sentence, no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't figure out where the print was lost. It was used at noon, so how could he come back in a blink of an eye? It's gone
The people in the family were afraid that at this time the old master would send fire to themselves, and all of them were hiding, so Xiao Xiancheng himself was tossing there.
The servant who accompanied me last night was also thinking about it. Seeing that the master was anxious, he persuaded him next to him: "Master, why don't you go to the yamen and tell the servants, let the servants help you find it? Or ask the master Zhan."
"No, you can't go to the yamen. If the people in the yamen know that my seal is missing, they will definitely tell Zhang Zhong. I'm afraid Zhang Zhong will use this matter as a matter of fact, so please ask Zhan's master book first."
At this time, Xiao Xiancheng didn’t care to sleep anymore. He changed his clothes and went out towards Master Zhan’s house. He was worried that Zhang Zhong knew about the loss of his seal and needed to report it to the court first, and then he could only wait for the court again. Sending one out and printing it down will take a lot of time to come and go.
Without the seal, there are some things that cannot be done. In case those merchants buy the land and they do not have the seal, it is easy to get no benefit.
When Xiaoxian Cheng walked to the door of Master Zhan’s house, the door of Master Zhan’s house was suddenly opened from inside, and Master Zhan was also coming out. The two looked at each other and asked at the same time: "See Is mine printed?"
"What? Your seal is gone?" The two said at the same time again.
"What should I do? Brother Yong, you have to think of a way. The big seal is gone. We can only ask Zhang Zhong to report to him. If he gives the land at this time, we won't get any benefit. , And I can’t give him bad luck. I want to report it to the top. If you don’t stamp it, you don’t recognize it."
Master Zhan was anxious now, he also thought of the local affairs, and asked Xiao Xiancheng to find a way.
Xiao Xiancheng couldn't think of any way, he was also anxious, walking back and forth at the door of Master Zhan's house, stopping from time to time to say something cruel, and telling him what to do after knowing who got the seal.
The two of them were worried. The copywriter who had been close to them before came over, and when they met, they said, "Two adults, can't you find the seal?"
"Why? How do you know? Did you take it? Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan, in vain, Master Zhan and I were so kind to you on weekdays, and even took our seals away. Okay, let's talk, you want What do you want?"
Xiao Xiancheng thought that Shen Yuan took away the seals of the two of them because he wanted to get some benefits from them, and asked angrily.
Shen Wenyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "My lord, two adults, how dare I take your seal? It was stolen by a person named Lu Yishou. When the two adults came out to eat in the small restaurant, he Now I am a government servant, and the seals of the two adults are kept in the signing room."
"Who is Lu Yishou? Ya Ya? Well, he dare to be Ya Ya, see if I... Since I got the seal back, let's do this first, Shen Yuan, it's not worthless that Lord Zhan and I are so good to you on weekdays, thanks to You have come to talk about this, otherwise, I'm still waiting."
When Xiao Xiancheng heard that things about Yin had settled down, he originally wanted to retaliate, but suddenly withdrew his thoughts. After all, now he has to go through Zhang Zhong to clean up a government officer. He can only wait for opportunities in the future. I just said Shen Yuan, and now Exaggerated.
Shen Yuan didn’t dare to care about the matter just now. He came here for more than just this. He smiled and said, “It’s fine for you to be in a hurry, sir. I have an idea. What will happen if we steal it? Didn't we help someone who specializes in stealing things before? He lives in the county now.
Let's find him and let him steal the seal of the magistrate. Then there will be a lot of things we can do. You don't have to worry about the magistrate's troubles. What do you think, my lord? "
"This, isn't it right? In case it is known to others, the crime is not small, and the head will fall to the ground, or you can arrange it? After the thing is done, your benefits are indispensable. If you lose, you will take it. Let the money go so far."
Xiao Xiancheng was really tempted, but he didn't want to do it himself, but he just pushed it onto Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan had done a lot of things with them, and he didn't want to agree to it.
Shen Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect that he would put himself in when he came up with an idea. He looked at the eyes of the two people, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to find the snitch for this matter. I asked the person to leave Huayuan County when he got it, but he can't leave without a penny? I don't have the money."
"Just do it at this time. It's easy to talk about money matters. Brother Xiangyun, it happens to be here at your house. You can give the person who handles the affair a hundred or ten times. Take a few consistent coins and spend the rest with silver. "Xiao County Cheng said to Zhan's master book.
Master Zhan reluctantly agreed, turned back and took fifty-two pieces of silver and two copper coins, and said: "Broken silver is more expensive, and the copper is too heavy. There are only these broken silver in the house. Fifty taels are enough. Now, you can manage a smaller house outside."
Shen Yuan also thought that he had obtained a hundred pens and left a part of it by himself. Unexpectedly, the master book of Zhan only took fifty taels of broken silver. If it was for the people who worked, it would not be too small. Picking up a dozen catties of copper coins, the two of them left and walked back.
Waiting for Shen Yuan to leave, Lord Zhan and Xiao Xiancheng didn’t want to sleep anymore. The two of them went to the Yamen together again, got their seals, and asked the Yamen. They knew Zhang Zhong had gone to the mountain. Yin smiled, thinking that Zhang Zhong would know how great it was right away.
Zhang Zhong is still doing business here at the foot of the mountain. If he knows other people's leisure, he wants to count him, but in fact, even if he knows it, he is not afraid.
At this time, the sky was a bit cloudy, Zhang Zhong looked at the sky, and said to He Cangji: "It seems that there will be rain in the past two days. Some people have to prepare some clothes and hats. Buy them, let the people make them by themselves, and they can do them. Even if we buy it for them to wear, there are still people far away who can’t toss back and forth and set up some tents here.
Tell the pier where you meet the merchants and tell them that you need 500 tents that can host four people. Let the merchants decide on the price, which one is good and which one is cheap. Yes, ask if there is anyone in the county who specializes in this, and ask them to hire someone to do it, and only give them two days, five hundred. "
"I understand, let's make arrangements. They have to pay taxes when they sell tents, and hiring people can make the people more money." He Cangji now understood why the county magistrate changed his mind without being raised, and agreed to turn around. Find someone to arrange.
The people who worked didn’t know how much the magistrate had thought of them, but the people waiting to cook were also nearby. Now they finally understood how good the new magistrate was to them, and they whispered there. , All topics are centered on the new county magistrate.
Zhang Zhong also let people tell those who work that they can’t have a stable place to sleep in these two nights. Let them stick to it. They can have more fires here to keep warm, and they will be given a piece of cake in the evening. , And bone soup.
After doing this, Zhang Zhong thought for a while, and said to the servants at home: "Go back and tell the cuckoo, I will not go back tonight, and live with the people, let her see "Er Ya" by herself today. so."
The next person knows that when I go back, I will tell the little son and the little lady, but when I think of this book, I feel a little scared. This book is all about explaining certain words. It is boring, so it can be read by the little son and the little lady. Go in.
Night came soon, the clouds in the sky became denser, the stars and the moon could not be seen, the fires were lit one by one, and the rain-proof curtains were transported to keep them open. The rain hasn't fallen yet, and looking at the sky, it seems that there is going to be a big one.
The cook has already prepared all the food, the rice is only the same, the millet rice, the vegetable is only a stew, there are some meat and bones in it, and the wild vegetables from the mountain. The eggplant that Zhang Zhong asked to transport was not willing to eat. , They are all the wild vegetables I dig by myself, and some mushrooms are also put in and stewed together.
The garlic sauce is also ready, and a big bucket is placed there. When it rains for a while, it will be scooped out with fat slices after eating.
The people are willing to endure hardships. Originally, Zhang Zhong waited until it was dark and let them eat, but none of these people had to eat. He set up a torch and continued to work, and waited for the rain to eat.
The people looked like, and Zhang Zhong decided to build Huayuan County as soon as possible.
After waiting for another hour, the rain finally fell under Zhang Zhong's expectation, and the working people finally stopped working and came over to eat.
Those who were in charge of cooking swiftly served food to the people who worked, Zhang Zhong also came over with a bowl to serve it, and the people who served the food stopped there and did not dare to move. The servants of Zhang's family also came over and said, "Master , Shall we eat something else?"
"I will eat this today. I usually eat too much of other things. Just serve it once. If you serve it more, I'm hungry too."
Zhang Zhong held the bowl and said, he wanted to taste the taste of the meal. If it doesn't work, someone has to come over and teach him that meaty dishes shouldn't be unpalatable, and the oil and seasonings should not be too little.
Zhang Zhong felt that what he did was normal, but the people didn't think it was normal. Tears moved to the people who served the meal. There he picked some fat slices for the magistrate. Zhang Zhong frowned when he saw it. He didn't want to. To eat this, he wanted to eat some wild vegetables and mushrooms, but could not refuse, otherwise the people should think of him again.
Zhang Zhong’s practice immediately shortened the distance between the people. Those people who saw that the magistrate also ate this, and it was delicious, and it tasted equally happily. Today, it is completely clear that the new magistrate is a newcomer. What kind of official.
"Well, the taste is okay. Put more aniseed in the stew next time." Zhang Zhong said after eating two bowls of rice and a large bowl of vegetables, patted his stomach with satisfaction.
