Looking at the bustling flow of people around, Han Yueniang said: "In the end, it is a big wharf on the side of the Bianhe River, and it is also a county seat, and it is much more lively here than our Linying." In my opinion, they are about to catch up with Xuzhou City. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "That's nature. How many businessmen, buying and selling, and several surrounding states gather here. ”

In fact, Yongcheng County is not big, and the area is almost the same as Linying. However, there is a concentration of business here, and there are many shops, so it seems to be much more prosperous.

There is nothing to do today, Du Zhongxiao took Han Yueniang to the county seat, strolled around, and relaxed. Han Yueniang was born in a small family, and she didn't have the rules of women from big families, and she didn't know how to entertain them. When I was in the state capital, there were other officials who walked to their homes, and when they arrived at the inspection village, they were bored.

When he was walking on the street, Chai Xin in front of him suddenly said, "Hey, it's not Ma Meng sitting in the restaurant over there?" The official asked Yongcheng County to take him into custody and investigate the case of the Tao family's medicinal materials back then, how could this guy drink on the street and be so carefree? ”

Du Zhongxiao looked up and saw that the pavilion on the second floor of the Linbian Restaurant was sitting in the window, who was not Ma Meng? Beside him sat a flamboyant sister, giggling and drinking.

Seeing this scene, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but be angry, and couldn't help but call the county lieutenant to come and ask for the crime. After thinking about it, if it was publicized, Ma Meng ran away from the restaurant, and the county lieutenant came and died without proof. In this era, you can't take out your mobile phone to take a photo, as long as the person runs away, then it will be said that it is a person with a similar face in the restaurant, and there is no place to say it.

Looking around, Du Zhongxiao pointed to the tea shop across the road and said to Chai Xin: "I'll go over there to drink a bowl of tea, you go to the county government in person, let the magistrate and the county lieutenant come here together, I want to watch them arrest Ma Meng and bring him to justice!" Remember, be careful not to let anyone see it! ”

Chai Xin promised, did not make a noise, and mixed in the crowd to go to the county office.

Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang brought a few entourages, went to the tea shop, and asked for a few bowls of tea to sit there and drink.

Han Yueniang said strangely: "In the restaurant above, is the official talking about Ma Meng two days ago?" Didn't he say that he framed Tao Seventeen's family and was arrested and put in prison? How can you still drink properly there? ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head slightly: "There are many fish and dragons in the place, and there are all kinds of strange things. This kind of character must be very familiar with human feelings, and some people will let him out when he is imprisoned and make a show. As long as he makes a few rounds of money, the prison does not pretend not to know and let him come and go. ”

Han Yueniang had never heard of this kind of thing, she was very curious, and kept looking at the restaurant.

Du Zhongxiao said in a low voice: "Don't look at the restaurant, you will be discovered by that guy, and you will escape back to prison, and it will be a difficult lawsuit." What's so unusual about this kind of thing? Back then, when we were in Linying County, I made a living by selling sheep's trotters, and I offended Wu Xiaoyuan, and I was not the same as being arrested and put in prison. He even used lynching as if the yamen was opened by his family. The imperial court sent three or two officials, thinking that they could control a county? It's all up to the public officials below to help you. Naturally, there are public officials who serve the public, but there are very few, and most of them do this kind of thing. ”

Han Yueniang heard this, and said with some sighs: "If you say this, I will understand a little." When we were down, we were bullied to death by a small staff member who opened a restaurant, and there was nowhere to cry. If it weren't for the fact that his father-in-law was a township tribute, he would have sued the governor of Zhizhou with a piece of paper, and I don't know what kind of life he is living now. Hey, without good officials, the life of the poor is really sad. By the way, that Wu Xiaoyuan, don't look so arrogant back then, but now he is like a lost dog. The business of his restaurant is not good, and there is no one to help him, and his life is getting worse day by day. ”

Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "That's nature." How can I say that I am also a Zhengbang Jinshi, and the people in my hometown don't take care of my face. ”

Everyone knows that the Wu family was ruined after offending Jinshi Du Zhongxiao, from the officials to the people, they all know that it is okay to bully his family, and they don't want to have a good life in this life. Du Zhongxiao didn't speak, and their family was the target of suppression by the villagers. Unless you move to another place, it is difficult to turn over.

Ma Meng in the restaurant turned his head by chance and saw Du Zhongxiao in the tea shop opposite, and couldn't help but be stunned. After watching it for a while, I saw that Du Zhongxiao and his wife were just drinking tea with peace of mind, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and they didn't pay attention to themselves, so they put their minds at ease. In Ma Meng's mind, if Du Zhongxiao found out that he had escaped from the cell, he should immediately recruit people to arrest him. A state officer against a criminal, where it is necessary to use stratagem.

After watching Du Zhongxiao for a while, the more Ma Meng thought about it, the more interesting it became, and said to the prostitute next to him: "Sister, do you know who is sitting in the tea shop opposite?" Yes, it's a man and a woman, and even younger. ”

The prostitute looked at it for a while, covered her mouth and said, "This is near the Bianhe River, I don't know how many strangers can recognize it every day!" The young woman was very good-looking, especially the pair of bracelets on her hand, which you could tell from a distance that they were of the best color. ”

Ma Meng smiled: "If you think it looks good, I will also buy a pair for you to wear in two days." Let me tell you, sitting there is a magistrate from this state and a jinshi from the new department. This guy has been studying for two years, and he is lucky to be a jinshi, and he feels that he is an amazing character. Ever since he came to the local area, he has been single-mindedly against me. A few years ago, a medicinal herb merchant who failed to break his money arrested me in prison, and he didn't know what to investigate me. But I don't want the prison cell in this county to be opened by my family, I can go if I want, and I can leave if I want. Haha, maybe this guy is thinking about how much I'm going to suffer in prison, but he doesn't want me to drink with my sister in my arms upstairs across from him. Come, let's have a drink. ”

The woman grinned and squatted with Mammon, and drank a glass of wine next to each other.

Putting down the wine glass, Ma Meng looked at Du Zhongxiao opposite, the more he looked at it, the more interesting he felt, and said: "Official, this is official!" Think that a casual sentence can frame a good person? Hehe, if you change my Ma's opponent, you can become guilty if you are not guilty. In exchange for my Ma, it is to take someone's life and take his wife. I'll stay in prison for a few days, but to give the court face, does this guy think it's his ability! ”

The woman ate and said with a smile: "Who in Yongcheng County doesn't know that Ma Daguan, the family has gold and silver mountains, and what they want." This young man doesn't look like he has any hair, how dare he offend the big officials! Let's eat and drink, and ignore him. ”

Ma Meng took the woman in his arms, looked at Du Zhongxiao opposite, laughed and only cared about drinking.

Han Yueniang accidentally swept to Ma Meng upstairs and couldn't help but spit out: "Oh, that person is so shameless!" ”

Du Zhongxiao's expression was flat, and he said to Han Yueniang: "That guy has been looking at us here, thinking that he saw me sitting here." It's called getting carried away. Later, when Chai Xin comes back, he will take this guy and not beat him to open his skin, this time it will be difficult to dispel my anger. The court has its own laws, and it is difficult for me to deal with him according to the law, and there are always other means to clean him up! ”

Han Yueniang frowned: "How can there be such a person in the world!" After doing all the bad things, he is shameless, and he is really angry. This kind of person really deserves to die, but he lives here well. Tao Seventeen, who killed people on the street, was obviously avenging his father, but he was put on death row. ”

"There are good people in this world, and of course there are bad people, otherwise what else would the government do. The hateful thing is that the place is often controlled by these wicked people, who know that they should be cut down by a thousand horses, but there is nothing they can do. To be a good official, it is easy to try a few cases, but it is extremely difficult to really make this world refreshing. Yueniang, I am here as an official for one term, so I can return a bright future here. ”
