The little guy who left ran back to the silver house in a panic along the way.Behind him, there were always two pro-army people quietly following, and when he returned to Yinhu, a middle-aged fat man in a fancy dress quickly left the shop, and then looked left and right, and after sparing a circle, he entered a relatively secluded house.In the middle of the house, a young man looked at a painting hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of admiration.The fat man gasped slightly, and kept saying something behind the young man.After he finished speaking, his face was already covered with sweat.After a moment's pause, the man turned to look at the fat man."
You're saying that the two people who came today may be from the government.""
Yes, Ouyang Gongzi, they must be from the government, and now the guys from the silver household are dragging them, why don't you leave Taihe first."
The fat man hurriedly said.After the young man listened, there was no expression of fear on his face, and he waved his hand: "What about the people in the government, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this Taihe City is not their turn to intervene, rest assured, just according to what was said at the beginning, when will Yu Chijiang come late, when will this son leave again." ”"Ouyang Gongzi, I think, I think they may be Wei Chijiang's people."
After hearing the fat man's words, the young man smiled faintly: "No, if Wei Chi Jiangwan knew the rumors here, he would have searched for it with great fanfare, how could it be as calm as now, there is no need to worry, when the last batch of silver is on the road, this son will follow and leave." ”"But now they're going to see the officials." ”See the official, we are the officials of Taihe, and the officials of Taihe are us, let your people take those two people to a place where no one is, clean them up, and then dispose of them, whether they are Wei Chijiangwan's people or something else, there is no threat to us, go and arrange it. ”"Ouyang Gongzi, you better go, if you're okay, even if we are all arrested, it's nothing, it won't affect the master, the master is fine, we will always be released, if something happens to you, then, it's all over, you can rest assured that the last batch of silver will be shipped out, you can leave first."
After listening to the fat man's words, the young man's face was already a little impatient."
Is this son giving you a good face and giving you a lot of good-looking, you have begun to teach this son to do things, every day I am afraid of this and that, what are you afraid of, this Taihe city is our people, you tell me, what are you afraid of.""
But, but if they are really the people sent by Yu Chi Jiangwan, then what should they do......"
"Hmph, it must be impossible, Yu Chi Jiangwan is in Tokyo now, let's not say that he knows about this matter, even if he knows, he will pretend not to know, enough, just do as I say, get out."
The fat man sighed heavily, then turned and walked outside.The fat man always felt that things were not so simple, he did not act according to the arrangement of Ouyang Gongzi, but asked people to find those little guys, and asked them to take those two people to the county office, and he also took the lead to the yamen and found the county order.Wei Chijiang implemented the new tax system in Jiangnan in the evening, and the officials in the entire Jiangnan were very nervous, and at this time, the silver households in Taihe City suddenly had problems, and hundreds of people ran to the yamen to make trouble.The matter was a bit big, and the county commander Liu Shan felt that he couldn't hold it down, so he told the prefect Zhou Yongkang about the incident, and after Zhou Yongkang learned about it, his first thought was not to solve this matter, but to take it down.This matter can be troubled as much as possible in the future, but it can't be made now, now is the critical moment for the imperial court to implement the new tax system, at this time, if there is a problem, Wei Chijiang Wan, and even His Royal Highness will think that he is also dissatisfied with the new tax system, and he will find trouble for them.This is something that affects his career and even his head, Zhou Yongkang had to be cautious, so he immediately discussed with others how to press this matter.In fact, Zhou Yongkang and Liu Shandu have nothing to do with this matter, but they have come to this point in a hurry.Liu Shan is drinking and basking in the sun in the backyard of the government at the moment, humming and singing the tune of the opera he has just learned.Liu Shan used to be an ambitious person, but after years of ups and downs in the official sea, he is no longer the original him.At the age of fifty, he is still a small county magistrate, and he knows in his heart that if there is no adventure in the future, he has no chance of getting promoted again, and since there is no hope of enterprising, it is better to save more money for his children and grandchildren.At this time, something happened to Yinhu, in fact, he knew in his heart that the silver had nothing to do with Yu Chi Jiangwan, but after he took over, in order to suppress this matter, of course, the most important thing was to take bribes, so he directly gave the people of Yinhu an idea and pushed this matter to Yu Chi Jiangwan.He didn't believe that those fart people could really find Wei Chi Jiangwan.As for those fart people, gathering crowds to make trouble is a violation of the law of the country, and they are directly arrested and finished, without any brains.This matter Zhou Yongkang's cellar has an extra 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, not to mention a house and a shop, so to speak, even if he resigns now, these properties are enough for him for several lifetimes.When Zhou Yongkang was basking in the sun here, the official suddenly came in and said that the people from the silver household were coming.After Zhou Yongkang heard this, he asked the official to let people in, and the person who came was the fat shopkeeper who had just left from Ouyang Gongzi."
Ouch, the shopkeeper is here, sit, the official just got some good wine, let's taste it together."
Although the fat shopkeeper was anxious, he knew that he couldn't show it in front of Zhou Yongkang, otherwise with Zhou Yongkang's temperament, the price he paid would be several times more.He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine."
Lord County Order, it's really good Yaxing, it's only noon, and I've already drunk it.Zhou Yongkang picked up his glass: "Your affairs have been handled almost by the official, plus if it is peaceful today, what's the matter with two sips, come and come, don't talk about it, the official will first salute a cup of the shopkeeper." ”After finishing speaking, Zhou Yongkang drank it all, and then put down the wine glass. ”Yes, the prince of the current prison country is wise, the world is peaceful, and this government naturally does not have so many things, but this is also thanks to the governance of Lord Zhou, if it were not for a good official like Lord Zhou, our Taihe City would not be so stable. ”Shopkeeper Gao said with a smile."
Alas, your sentence is about to be refuted by the official, how dare the official share the credit of His Royal Highness?
If you have to say it, there is only such a small and insignificant role as the nail seam, not to mention anything else, the pension order launched by His Royal Highness Guang, which emperor can do it throughout the ages?
I remembered, I remember that your mother is old enough, how is it, does it feel different when you eat the imperial food in the imperial court. ”"Lord Zhou, this is all a gift from His Royal Highness, how dare I ......."
Zhou Yongkang pointed to the tall shopkeeper, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these scenes in front of this official.""
Say, this time, if there is anything you want this official to help?"
Don't beat around the bush, you know, the official is not a person who likes to go around the bend, said, let's do it, let's discuss this price afterwards, the official doesn't ask for much, you can't give it if you really want it" "My lord, you are joking, the main reason is that there are two ruffians in the store today, and I want the county magistrate to put them both in prison for a few days. ”"This kind of thing, don't you just go to the prison, didn't the official say hello, why, they are disobedient?""
This, didn't the prefect come some time ago and said something, they didn't dare to accept it, they had to ask for an adult's note.""
Oh, yes, it seems that the official really drank too much, and he really forgot about this matter, since this is the case, the process should be gone or go a little, so be it, let the official interrogate them casually, and then send them to prison."
Zhou Yongkang smiled: "What about people." ”"It's coming soon.""
Okay, let the official find a few reasons first."
Yueshan and Zhang Qiang were taken to the county government by the small servants of the silver household, and as soon as they looked up, they saw Zhou Yongkang in front of them.With a fat head and big ears, he is not a good official at first glance.Before coming here, Yue Shan had a certain understanding of the officials of Taihe, Taihe County Commander Zhou Yongkang, is a typical kind of person who does not seek merit but seeks no fault, in his fifties, and has no upward spirit, he just wants to be safe and sound, and honestly mix until the day when he returns to his hometown.Therefore, the evaluation of this person by the ministry is quite good, and in general, he can always get things done without offending anyone, and if he is not old, he really has to be promoted.When Yue Shan saw Zhou Yongkang for the first time, he felt that the people in the officials had grown up eating.Yue Shan and Zhang Qiang were looking at Zhou Yongkang, and Zhou Yongkang was also looking at the two of them.The waist is straight, the skin is not dark, obviously not a merchant, let alone a billet who is messing around, if I guess correctly, I am afraid that he is the son of a merchant who has lost his silver."
Why don't you two kneel when you see this official?"
Zhou Yongkang said expressionlessly, and then found Yue Shan and Zhang Qiang as if they hadn't heard his voice, and they didn't react at all.He immediately snorted coldly, wanting to remind the two of them to come back to their senses, otherwise it would not be that he was unreasonable when he was hit by the board.Yue Shan glanced at Zhou Yongkang and said, "You are the county order of Taihe, why don't I look like it?"
”"Not like?
If this official is not the Taihe County Order, why can he sit here and interrogate the two of you?
”"But when we came, we heard that Taihe County ordered the two sleeves to be clean and dedicated to the people, but you ......
During the day, he was full of alcohol, fat head and big ears, obviously he didn't eat less people's fat and people's ointment......"
Zhang Qiang grinned.This sentence made Zhou Yongkang's face suddenly a little annoyed."
Nonsense!
despised the court, and was disrespectful to the officials, and when they came, they were beaten with 20 boards first, so that they could have a long memory, and then they were tried again. ”After Zhou Yongkang finished speaking, several officials approached the two people, ready to tie them up.
