Night falls, and the first three quarters of the first month passes.

As soon as the evening sounded, the Houguan County Ya was closed inside and outside, and the officials from all over the place began to guard the warehouses and prisons with the officials.

The servants climbed the ladder to put on the lamps, and the lights came from the high and low rooms and the corridors from far and near.

The external department is closed, and the external department is the lobby and wings. The lobby is a place for trial during the day, and the left and right wings are the history hall and the warehouse, which is the office of the six-room scribe. At present, these scribes gathered together in twos and threes, and they all returned to the official residence to rest.

The door of the inner house is locked, and the inside and outside are separated. The external office and the internal office are clearly distinguished, the evening bell rings, the scribe and the official need to pass through the door to enter the office, and there are only county officials, masters, long followers, and family members in the internal office.

The most important signing room in the Hou Guan's Internal Office is on the side of the back hall. Right now, the lights are brightly lit in the room. The mortgage house is divided into inner and outer rooms. The outhouse is a palm print, and the signatories sit at the table without saying a word, and a tea room next to them waits.

In the house of the signing room, Zhou Zhixian Tie was now sitting on the collapse with a blue face, and his face was cloudy and uncertain from the flickering oil lamp.

Master Shen, who has always been highly respected, is not in the signing room at the moment. Only Master Xu is next to Zhou Zhixian, Master Xu is a native of Nanhai, Guangzhou, and has read several volumes of "Qian Gu Bei Yao" and "Criminal Money Must Read", because it is the relationship between the old family, he is used as Master Qian Gu. And Master Shen was hired by Zhou Zhixian from Shaoxing with a lot of money, specializing in criminal names.

There were three people kneeling in the house, all of whom were the chief followers of Zhou Zhi County.

Master Xu brought a cup of tea to Zhou Zhixian and said: "Dong Weng, the following will not be, just teach it slowly, don't get into the liver fire." ”

Zhou Zhixian lifted and put down the tea, his face jumped, he didn't know what he remembered, and pointed to the middle person and scolded: "Are you a rice bucket?" Tell you to go to Master Chen by Hezhi County's side, so that the silver is just a guest for dinner, what about you? Tie up to the fans on Tanwei Street, are you a long-term follower for me, or a helper for a brothel? If you want to prostitute someone else's filial piety to you, the cost is my silver, do you think I'm stupid? ”

The man said aggrievedly: "Master, didn't I go to the Minxian County Yali to inquire, is Master Zhou so good?" I'll do what I like. ”

"Did Master Zhou promise you?"

"He told me to wait for a reply!"

Zhou Zhixian directly grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it on Changsui's head, broken porcelain pieces were all over the ground, and tea and blood were mixed together. The chief wept bitterly.

"The loss of dozens of taels of silver will be recorded in your own account, get down!"

The pain in the head of the chief was even more painful, and the silver came out by itself, and he had done it in vain in the yamen for a year.

Master Xu persuaded on the side: "Dong Weng, what is there to know from such a person. ”

Zhou Zhixian asked another person, "What does the Futai Yamen say?" ”

The other long-term entourage is the long-term class, which is specially sent to the Futai yamen to listen to the affairs of the futai, because it has been listening in the futai yamen for many years, which is called the long-term class of the governor. In addition, the chief entourage of the governor's yamen is called the provincial governor's retinue, which is equivalent to the provincial office in later generations.

On weekdays, Zhou Zhixian gave the prefect three festivals and two longevity water dry gifts, all of which changed hands from this person, and the prefect's yamen celebrated major events, and the prefect was accompanied by the prefect for a long time, providing people, money, and things, and the government office, which was also done by him, was a capable person.

This chief said: "Master, the attitude of Lord Futai is very ambiguous, I heard that over there in Futai, Hezhi County has not been short of eye medicine." I dredged for a long time, and the Futai Yamen replied that the grain and grass in the Changfeng warehouse in the treasury were kept for use and could not be moved. ”

Zhou Zhixian said hatefully: "Don't ask for it, I have already seen that He Zhixian and Futai Yamen are wearing a pair of pants!" ”

Chang Sui said: "This He Nanru relied on being a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and he had to overpower the master everywhere, so this time he deliberately pressed the grain and did not distribute it, just to embarrass us." I heard that the person surnamed He has released a word, telling the master that within three months, he will lose his black yarn hat. ”

Zhou Zhixian sneered: "He wants to help him, if I turn over, I will ask He Nanru to die without a place to be buried." ”

"Dong Weng is now the Yamen of Minxian County, and the Yamen of Futai has no hope, and there is only the last way for the Futai Yamen, if Master Shen can talk to Lord Futai through Hu Tixue, then this matter will have eyebrows." Master Xu said.

Zhou Zhixian shook his head and said, "It's difficult." ”

Master Xu said: "He and Hu Tixue are both fellow villagers in Huguang, as long as Hu Tixue can say that he can move Lord Futai, does He Nanru dare to agree?" ”

Zhou Zhixian took another cup of new tea and took a sip and said: "Not to mention whether Hu Tixue agrees or not, Lord Futai has not been in office for a long time, and his prestige has not been established, so it is difficult to meddle in this matter." ”

As he spoke, footsteps sounded in the outer room.

The curtain was lifted, and Master Shen walked in.

As soon as Zhou Zhixian saw Master Shen, he got up and asked, "Gong Shen, could it be that Hu Tixue agreed to talk to Lord Futai?" ”

Master Shen shook his head and said with a smile: "Dong Weng! Happy event, happy event! ”

Zhou Zhixian knew that Master Shen would not be untargeted and said: "Shen Gong, just say it directly." ”

Master Shen smiled and handed a piece of paper to Zhou Zhixian at the moment.

Zhou Zhixian took the paper and looked at it, and Master Xu also put it aside to look at it.

Syllable!

Zhou Zhixian stretched out his finger and flicked the page, as if he had seen a good article, and said: "Good article!" ”

After Master Xu saw it, he also said to Master Shen: "Su Qin, Zhang Yi's resurrection, it's nothing more than that." Shen Gong is really a great talent! ”

Master Shen said shamefully: "I don't dare to do it, it's just a matter of work." ”

Master Xu said: "Even if there are decades of swordsmen and pen officials in the yamen, I'm afraid they don't have such knowledge, and Master Shen really doesn't have to be too humble." ”

Zhou Zhixian nodded slightly and said, "Deserve it!" ”

Master Xu said: "Dong Weng, without further ado, I will immediately draft the document in the name of the yamen and send it to the Yamen of Minxian County to see how He Nanru will step down!" A good sentence, the emperor is the co-lord of the world, how can he bear to close the Min County, in order to take advantage of the hunger of the marquis! This sentence alone is enough to make He Nanru scare out the, haha, happy, happy! ”

After speaking, Master Xu strode away, and the rest of the elders also congratulated Zhou Zhixian together.

Zhou Zhixian said abruptly: "If there is anything to congratulate, I have never been afraid." ”

Everyone also knew that the county was moody, and if they were bored, they only complained that they had put up this superb county order, and they all retreated immediately.

Master Shen followed Zhou Zhixian to hesitate whether to hide Lin Yanchao's affairs and steal his name himself, but thinking that there was a backstage behind the other party, I am afraid that this matter could not be hidden, but it became a laughing stock in the officialdom.

So Master Shen said: "Dong Weng, in fact, this strategy is not in my mind. ”

Zhou Zhixian looked at Master Shen and said, "I guessed that if Shen Gong thought about it, he wouldn't mention that he would bring it up as soon as someone came to learn the Tao." Hu Tixue, I really underestimated you, I thought you were just a scholar. Just ......"

Zhou Zhixian frowned and said: "We owe Hu Tixue such a big favor, I'm afraid it will not be easy to pay it back, do you think you should send a few family members to Huguang to collect some land and houses, and then go to Yangzhou and Hangzhou to buy a few thin horses and boat girls?" ”

Master Shen hurriedly said: "Dong Weng, you misunderstood, it was not Hu Tixue who came up with this plan. ”

"Who is that?"

Master Shen whispered: "Dong Weng, I still remember the young man who sued today." ”

Zhou Zhixian was stunned: "Why is he?" Jokes, how can people who are not long-time eunuchs understand the secret? Let's just say that you have been punished in the Yamen for 20 years, and there is no way to do it, he can think of it as a child? ”

"Dong Weng, I can't believe it, but it's true. This son is really smart, Hongtang sociology is just that, above the county government today, I feel that this person is not a thing in the pool, and now it is ......"

Zhou Zhixian frowned and asked, "Where is this son now?" ”

"I arranged for me to stay at the Yin Hotel."

The look of surprise on Zhou Zhixian's face was already in the past, and he twisted his beard and said: "I don't think it's anything, but it's a moment of luck, and it's a little bit less, and there may not be more people when it's big." ”

Master Shen is not good at saying anything, he knows Zhou Zhixian's temper.

Master Shen could only follow Zhou Zhixian's words and said, "Dong Weng is right. ”

Zhou Zhixian took two steps and said: "That's it, reward this young man with five taels of silver." ”

Master Shen's face changed when he heard this, and he stepped forward and said, "Dong Weng, this is too little." ”

"Where is there a place for a scholar to make money. Five taels of silver is a lot. ”

Master Shen said: "It's nothing for a mere teenager, but he was also recommended by Mr. Xu, and he is a protégé of Hu Tixue." ”

"Then tell him not to leak this out."

"I'm afraid this ......"

Zhou Zhixian said abruptly: "A child, also worried about this, worried about that, I understand what you mean, you and Mr. Xu are both from Shaoxing, and this matter also has a lot to do with it." When this happens, I will meet him personally. You won't be disappointed. ”

"As for the young man's compensation, it depends on how much he dares to ask me?" Speaking of this, Zhou Zhixian sneered.
