Guo Lang was dizzy with anger, and asked angrily: "Ye Xiaotian? What kind of god is Ye Xiaotian?"
Bai Hong reminded him: "Brother-in-law, have you forgotten? Ye Xiaotian is the one who pretended to be a gentleman in the official department and hid a scorpion in my official hat, which stung my head so much that it swelled up..."
Guo Langzhong was reminded by him, thought for a while and said: "Oh! You are talking about that guy surnamed Ye who lived in the Ministry of Officials for one day, served in the Ministry of Punishment for two days, and rolled to the Ministry of Rites in three days? He also had a relationship with Uncle Guo There's been quite a quarrel, hasn't it?"
Bai Hong slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! It's him! Brother-in-law has a good memory!"
Guo Langzhong really forgot about Ye Xiaotian, and he only remembered it after Bai Hong reminded him. Guo Shundao: "It turned out to be him. I remembered that he worked in Hu County. What happened to him? Why is he in Hu County? Feng Shui is not good there?"
Bai Hong said: "Brother-in-law, ever since you told me to go to Hu County, I have asked someone who is familiar with the situation in Hu County to inquire about it. There have been two county magistrates in Hu County within five years, the first being Meng County magistrate. , died, I heard that Ye Xiaotian hadn't been an official in Hu County at that time, but the local people said that Meng County Cheng died at his hands."
Guo Langzhong stared at Bai Hong and said nothing. As a doctor of the Ministry of Officials, he certainly knew about the birth, old age, sickness, death, promotion and transfer of officials in his jurisdiction. The murderer actually broke through the prison wall and escaped, which is really a bit evil, so he remembered it very clearly, but he didn't make up his mind for a while, and he remembered it only after Bai Hong said this.
Bai Hong said: "The second county magistrate was Xu Boyi, and this Xu Boyi was not much better. It is said that before he took office, he was punished by Ye Xiaotian, and he fled Hu County with ruin. After leaving Hu County and becoming Ye Xiaotian's immediate boss, he should feel proud this time, right
No! He was the boss, but was bullied by Ye Xiaotian. In the end, he was also defeated by Ye Xiaotian, and ended up wandering around the world miserably. Now his arrest papers are posted everywhere, and he doesn't know where he fled. Anyway, it's impossible for this life See people in the open. "
Guo Langzhong rolled his eyes and said, "You mean..."
Bai Hong said: "Brother-in-law, don't you understand? This Ye Xiaotian's fate is too hard, he can't control people! And he is specially designed to control officials! You said that if I go..."
Guo Langzhong smiled and said: "Oh...so that's the case. This kind of thing is just a coincidence. It would be ridiculous if you took it seriously. Brother-in-law, I have been in the official department for so many years. I haven't seen any strange things, so I said that the Songjiang Mansion The envoy of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau has been changed five times in six years, and the predecessors of each term did not end well, making the current envoy trembling. According to you, is there someone who hindered it? Is it also bad Fengshui? Tch! In the final analysis, it is just a greedy word, how can there be so many words.”
Bai Hong grimaced and said: "Brother-in-law, I'm not the only one who said that, many people in Hu County are saying that now, if you say greedy, then Meng County Prime Minister is greedy, but Xu Boyi is not greedy, the result is greedy and greedy." The problem of not being greedy, there is a reason not to be greedy, anyway, it is all in his hands.
By the way, what my brother-in-law said about the four envoys of Songjiang Weaving and Dyeing Bureau who had accidents one after another, I have also heard of it, but the first of them was found out by the boss's audit, and the second was impeached by the censor Yes, the third term was reported by the fourth term, and the fourth term was reported by the third his father-in-law, but the two county magistrates in Hu County were planted in the hands of Ye Xiaotian alone, and Ye Xiaotian still Their subordinates, you say this is evil..."
Guo Langzhong smiled and said: "Okay, alright, even if he is a nuisance, it's okay for him to be a boss, and you will be the master when you go, and you are a level lower than him, so it's okay."
Bai Hong said with a mournful face, "It's alright? Brother-in-law, have you forgotten why you arranged for me to go to Hu County this time?"
Guo Langzhong was tongue-tied and said, "Ah... ah... Wang Ning... Master Wang..."
Bai Hong said: "That's right! Master Wang is also in his hands. He not only beats his boss, he beats whoever he catches."
Guo Langzhong shook his head and said: "This statement is unbelievable. You are a person who reads the books of sages and sages. How can you believe in these strange things. In my opinion, this Ye Xiaotian should be a very scheming person. If I didn't guess If it’s wrong, the officials you mentioned don’t have a good relationship with him, do they?”
Bai Hong thought for a while, then snapped his fingers and said, "Meng County Prime Minister and Qi Mu, Hu County's tycoon, are inseparable, and Qi Mu once instigated someone to beat Ye Xiaotian to serious injury, so it's considered a grudge. Xu Boyi... had a bad relationship with Ye Xiaotian before he became an official. , the relationship is indeed not very good. Master Wang, he first flirted with Meng County Cheng, and then flirted with Xu County Cheng, of course he can be regarded as Ye Xiaotian's enemy... "
Guo Langzhong said with a smile: "Isn't this the end? I said, how can there be so many strange things. The magistrate of Huxian County seems to be surnamed Hua, right? Hasn't he been in office for more than five years? Seeing that he will be in office next year If you are full, you have to be transferred to another party. Is it not good to be fine all the time? Why? Four words, be kind to others! My brother, since you are going to Huxian County to spend your seniority, you don’t want meritorious service, but you want no fault, then brother-in-law I will give you these four-character mantra: 'Be kind to others!' Keep you safe!"
Bai Hong thought about it intently, fisted and palmed together, and suddenly said: "That's right! Brother-in-law's kind words, my younger brother will remember them in my heart!"
※※※
The next day, Jinling Station.
Yang Yicheng stood in front of the table, with bulging eyebrows, holding a wolf brush in his hand, and wrote the three characters "Be kind to others" one stroke at a time, and wrote his own signature on the side. Red, but this is already his best handwriting, and there is really no way to make it better.
Yang Yicheng coughed, and said nervously to Bai Hong, "Cough, brother Bai, what do you think of this word?"
Yang Yicheng and Bai Hong didn't know each other well. Bai Hong came to the door early this morning and said that he had long admired Yang Yicheng's name, so he wanted to ask him for a picture. Yang Yicheng thought he had found the wrong person, so he confirmed with him again and again, and it turned out that what Bai Hong said was exactly the same as him, and he was indeed here to find him.
At that time, Yang Yicheng was a little annoyed, thinking that when he was still studying in the government school, it was recognized that his calligraphy was too ugly, and he hadn't made much progress in so many years. This person actually said that he admired his calligraphy. Isn't this a door-to-door teasing? But when Bai Hong took out real money, fifty taels of silver for one word, Yang Yicheng was tempted.
Regardless of whether his handwriting is ugly or not, it is good handwriting if it sells well. Maybe this Baihong is an idiot, or maybe his handwriting is really appreciated by someone. So, bit the bullet, and really started writing.
Bai Hong stood beside him, and when he saw his words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. As for this Bai Hong, although he is an official fan, he still has some talents and learning, otherwise he would not be able to be a magistrate of a first-class county with just a cheap brother-in-law who works as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. Yang Yicheng's words Of course he couldn't see it.
However, when Yang Yicheng asked, Bai Hong immediately clapped his hands, and praised happily: "Good! Good calligraphy! Dots are like falling stones, paintings are like summer clouds, hooks are like bent gold, and spears are like crossbows. Elephant, low-minded and ambitious, iron painted with silver hooks, full of brushwork! Good, really good!"
Yang Yicheng's face was flushed by his praise, and he almost thought that he was a great contemporary calligrapher. Yang Yicheng laughed dryly, and said with a guilty conscience: "Brother Bai praised you, and Yang's writing is actually like this, uh... Brother Bai really thinks it's good?"
"Of course! Brother Yang, you can't go back on your word!" When Bai Hong heard this, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his words and take back the words, three ingots of white and fat silver ingots slammed on the table with a "gudong", and hurriedly Grab that picture in your hand.
A stone fell to the ground in Yang Yicheng's heart, and he couldn't help asking Bai Hong: "Brother Bai, why do you only need the three characters 'Yu Wei Shan' in this picture? There should be a character in the middle. White?" Yang Yicheng asked, feeling a little regretful in his heart, but it was just a matter of flicking and flicking, but it was another fifty taels of money.
Bai Hong said with a smile: "I don't need to write that word. I will post it up and hang it in my bedroom after I take office. I can see it every day when I open my eyes, and I will naturally think of that blank space." What should be the word, hehe, he, don’t write it on paper, it’s best to remember it in your heart!”
Yang Yicheng nodded and said: "Yes! To be kind to others, you must keep them in your heart! It makes sense, makes sense..."
Bai Hong thought in his heart: "That name can't be written. I just need to keep the word 'Ye Xiaotian' in my heart and be friendly with him. No matter how evil he is, he won't harm me. He is not alone. Xing, I never heard that he beat his family and friends, hey, hey... "
Yang Yicheng suddenly felt something, and said in surprise: "After taking office? But I don't know where Brother Bai is going to take office?"
Previously, Yang Yicheng only thought that Bai Hong was an arty upstart with no connections, only then did he know that he was going to be an official.
Bai Hong said: "My little brother is going to be an official in Hu County, Guizhou, why, does Brother Yang know anyone there?"
Hearing this, Yang Yicheng suddenly realized, "Why did he fall in love with his calligraphy? It turns out that he came prepared. To be an official in Hu County, he should work with Ye Xiandi in the same office, right? This person must be trying to curry favor with Ye Xiandi. It's just that Why did he follow Ye Xiandi's way, wouldn't it be better to find the magistrate's way? Well... From this point of view, Ye Xiandi must be very strong in Hu County."
Yang Yicheng's brains turned sharply, and he had already figured out the real reason for his visit. Since he received a generous gift from him, of course he had to return something. Yang Yicheng smiled and said: "Yang really has a close friend in Hu County. Hehe, brother Bai, please have tea in the hall, let's talk slowly."
Bai Hong's eyes smiled smaller than his: "Okay! Okay, Brother Yang, please!"
