Su Xuntian shook his head and said: "That's not true. He only knew that I had some relationship with the casino, and he didn't know the details. I told him that I was just helping Feng Linger to watch the scene to pay for hard work. He believed it and persuaded me Opening a casino is never a good thing, so don't do anything that hurts nature."
Hua Qingfeng felt relieved after hearing this, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good! It seems that he just heard that you have some connection with the casino. It's okay, you should be more careful in doing things in the future, don't show your face often, let Feng Linger stand out in everything That’s right, don’t get too involved.”
Su Xuntian nodded and said: "I understand, I just want to let you know, so that you know what to do."
Hua Qingfeng sighed and said: "If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive firewood is. This is a bit vulgar, but the truth is true. I have no choice but to make such a bad plan. By God, you still have to deal with this matter." You have to put your heart into it."
Su Xuntian nodded silently, and said, "I'll save it, you can rest assured."
Looking at Su Xuntian's leaving back, Hua Qingfeng sighed long.
Hua Qingfeng was a puppet county magistrate in the past, and Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo were involved in everything. Although he is a bit useless, if he thinks about it, he can live a leisurely life.
After the downfall of Mengxian Cheng, Hua Qingfeng took the opportunity to seize the power of Mengxian Cheng, and finally tasted the wonderful taste of power in hand. However, how much power is equal to how much responsibility is assumed. Since he is in charge, he needs to have his own group of confidants, and if he wants people to follow him with all his heart, he must give people enough benefits. Otherwise, why should they give you effectiveness
You know, the imperial court only pays salaries to officials, and Hua Qingfeng, as the seventh-rank magistrate, gets seven and a half stones a month. This little money is barely enough to spend the magistrate and his wife to support three or four servants, but as a county magistrate, there are many servants under him, which one does not need to spend money? The monthly salaries of these people can all be distributed by the county magistrate, otherwise no one would be willing to work for you.
Count it down, master, you have to feed, right? Bearer, do you have to support yourself? Cook, you have to feed, right? Maid and mother-in-law, you have to support me, right? Besides, there are still a lot of long-term followers in the county government. If these people are to be obedient, they have to be supported.
These long followers are called uncle and second master by the common people according to their grades. The uncle includes the door administrator, that is, the gatekeeper and the reporter. There is the manuscript signing uncle, who is in charge of grinding ink and drafting in the signing room. Then there is a group of second masters, including "fa trial", "value hall", "use seal" and so on. These are just the office staff in the magistrate's signing room. If you want to place some confidantes and informants in other important departments, you have to pay monthly salaries.
Although it is said that these people are in the government, they can always use their hands to get some benefits, but they earn it by themselves. Your county magistrate must have a monthly salary. If you can’t pay it, there are other officials who are willing to pay him the money. So do you think these subordinates are under your command or his
After Hua Qingfeng took over the power of Mengxian Cheng, he realized that the Baili Supreme and Yixian Zhengyin were not so easy to be. But he has no way to get money. Hu County is a poor county. Since he took office, he has been coerced by Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubu. A way to get money.
Opening a gambling shop is undoubtedly a lucrative business, but gambling has always been banned by the government. Although this ban is in name only, there are people setting up gambling shops all over the world, but they are all bribed by the government. And once the imperial court has a whim and promulgates a decree that gambling is strictly prohibited, they have to close their doors to avoid the limelight.
Now that Hua Qingfeng is the county magistrate, but she wants to make a profit by gambling, she must be extra careful. He doesn't feel at ease in entrusting this matter to others. He only feels appropriate to entrust it to his brother-in-law. Su Xuntian is a head arrester in this county. make trouble.
After hearing Hua Qingfeng's idea, Su Xuntian readily agreed. He knew it was not easy for his brother-in-law. In the past few years, the county magistrate has been so useless that even his brother-in-law can't stand upright. He is just a biological sister, since he married Hua Qingfeng, it is a family. Besides, although his brother-in-law is incompetent, he still takes good care of him. At this time, if he doesn't help share his worries, who else can he turn to
It's just that this kind of thing can't be seen in the light after all, so Su Xuntian panicked when Ye Xiaotian mentioned it today. However, when talking about the ins and outs of this matter with Hua Qingfeng, he also straightened out his thoughts: Obedient voice, obviously Ye Xiaotian just heard about his setting foot in the casino to collect fees, and didn't know that his brother-in-law was the big boss behind the scenes.
He and Ye Xiaotian have always had a good relationship, I believe Ye Xiaotian will not intentionally come to trouble him, as long as he is more careful in the future and is not too ostentatious. But how did he know that the more he didn't want to have accidents, the more accidents would happen, and soon a disaster would be imminent.

As the sun was setting, Ye Xiaotian pushed the teacup that had already tasted weak to the side, and immediately a clerk came over, picked up the teacup naturally, and washed up for Mr. Dianshi.
Ye Xiaotian stretched himself, seeing that all the book offices were still holding brushes and pretending to be there, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, let's go to the Yamen, everyone should leave."
Everyone smiled and got up to say goodbye to Mr. Dianshi, but while they were talking, they were dawdling in packing things, but none of them was willing to go out first.
Ye Xiaotian was also a handyman who worked on errands, so he naturally understood their psychology, smiled slightly, got up and walked out of the room, just as he stepped out, he heard the sound of tables, chairs and benches behind him, presumably the book offices were rushing towards the door Come.
The sun is hanging on the top of the west mountain, and his mansion is on the side of the west mountain. Looking at it from this angle, the sun seems to be hanging on the eaves of his roof. The light yellow and red sun is like the salty rice produced in Gaoyou. As cute as duck egg yolk.
Ye Xiaotian gradually got used to the days of being on duty in the government office. Compared with working in the dungeon, the current life is of course more comfortable. Now he feels energetic all day long, as if he has endless energy, probably I've been idle for too long.
Now not only is he much more relaxed, his monthly salary is higher, but he is also decent. In the past, when he worked in the sky prison, he acted according to the face of others, including some prisoners in the prison, but now many people acted on the face of him. This kind of life was something he never dared to imagine before.
Looking up, there was a wisp of cooking smoke rising from the mountain, Ye Xiaotian felt warm in his heart, knowing that it was Sister Sun who was preparing a dinner for him.
Ye Xiaotian hired five cooks. Given the size of his current mansion, he hired dozens of servants alone. Five cooks were not enough to cook food. Fortunately, these five chefs were all accompanied by apprentices. I can also take care of it. However, the smoke from cooking was rising so early, it must not be these chefs who are cooking dinner, but Sister Sun is cooking soup for him.
Ye Xiaotian didn't know that Younger Sister Sun could cook, and she was good at making soup. Now she seems to be the housekeeper of Ye Mansion. There is no hostess in the house. Let others step in.
She said that it was too hard for Ye Xiaotian to go to the government office every day, so he had to cook a soup every meal, saying that it was to nourish his body, and even went down the mountain to deliver soup at noon. Ye Xiaotian has no reason to reject such kindness. Northerners actually don't like soup very much, but they have soup for three meals a day, and Ye Xiaotian gradually fell in love with this taste.
Dressed in Miao clothes, the cute and youthful little Miao girl goes in and out of the public door every day, which has become a beautiful scenery in the county government. He bought a large bowl full of vegetables and rice, and squatted on both sides of the Yimen Gate, just to watch Sister Sun walk past them lightly carrying the food box, and to listen to the sweet ringing of the silver bells on her ankles. , Tasting the scenery along the way swaying from her small waist, the euphemistic name is: beautiful colors to accompany the meal.
Sister Sun has a separate yard in Yefu. Anyway, there are enough rooms in this mansion, and the courtyard is big enough. Many houses are empty and no one lives at all. You must know that some big families are not even qualified to live in a courtyard alone with concubines.
In the courtyard where Younger Sister Sun lived, two maids were allocated for her to order. At the same time, this courtyard also had its own small kitchen. The three meals a day that Younger Sister Sun provided Ye Xiaotian were freshly baked here.
At this moment, a girl was squatting in front of the stove adding firewood to the fire. Sister Sun was wearing a blue floral apron with her sleeves rolled up, showing a pair of white arms. Looking at the dazzling array of materials on the water table, she said happily: : "Ah! Fortunately, I started preparing early, there are so many ingredients in this Wubian soup!"
Sister Sun picked up a sharp knife in one hand, and grabbed a big weight from the basin with the other...
"Wow! It's such a big one, it must be a big hit!" Sister Sun happily pressed the big mound on the case, and chopped off the kitchen knife with a bright right hand, and the huge bullwhip was chopped off under her knife. For two halves.
Tiger whip, deer whip, bull whip, sheep whip, dog whip...
I chop! I chop! I chop chop chop!
Sister Sun raised the knife and lowered it, and the five meat whips quickly turned into a pile of unrecognizable pieces of meat under her knife.
Ganoderma lucidum, Korean ginseng, rehmannia glutinosa, raw ephedra, silkworm, cistanche, pepper, ginger...
It's not the first time for Sister Sun to make soup for Ye Xiaotian, and she picked up every ingredient very familiarly.
"Epimedium!" Sister Sun grabbed a handful, and suddenly said to herself: "By the way, Brother Xiaotian complained that the soup was a bit bitter last time. It must be because there was too much epimedium." She said to herself , while putting the caught epimedium back into the jar.
When dozens of ingredients are ready, the whip pieces rinsed in clean water are fried in oil pan, soaked in warm water again, soaked in boiling water again to remove the blood foam, rinsed in cold water again to remove the smell, and then put them all together. Put it into a casserole, boil it on high heat, then change to a slow fire, and throw a large bag of ingredients wrapped in gauze into it.
Sister Sun clapped her hands happily, her spirits flying high: "Let's all work!"
