To the north of the Ying River, is the Qingyu River, a tributary of the Cai River, which flows from Xuzhou City and goes all the way east into Kaifeng Mansion. Between the two rivers, the terrain is flat and high, and it used to be a horse supervisor. At this time, the horse supervisor was abolished, and the land recruited people to shoot. Due to the lack of government support, farmers who have cleared the land have come and gone, and after a few years, there is still a lot of vacant land. Du Zhongxiao's newly bought Zhuangzi is here, not far from the Qingwei River.

Zhengbang Jinshi was born, and he had a special identity in the local area, and he bought a Zhuangzi, and the county's Shiji Baba came to help with various procedures.

After everything was done, Du Zhongxiao ordered Tao Seventeen and Thirteen Lang to slaughter a sheep, make a charcoal stove, and barbecue meat by the river to entertain the priest.

Grabbing the oily roasted mutton, Tokioshi took a bite, chewed and swallowed vigorously, and took a long sip of wine. Wiping his mouth, Shi Oshi praised: "The little one has also eaten a lot of roasted mutton, but he doesn't have a good taste at home." Not only is the meat good and oily, but the spices used are also extraordinary, and the small ones have never been eaten. It's delicious! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "This meat is cooked, and benzoin is sprinkled, which is different." ”

Shi Oshiji opened his mouth wide: "Ah, the price of benzoin fennel is more than gold, but I have heard of it, but I have not tasted it!" I don't want to be blessed today! ”

Benzoin fennel is the cumin of Du Zhongxiao's previous life, because it is produced in the Western Regions, the price is expensive, and of course the price is not as exaggerated as gold. Du Zhongxiao remembered the taste of his previous life, how could the barbecue be without cumin. A small official in a county in Shi's Division, although his family is well-off, he has never tasted this rare product, and his mouth is full of oil.

Brother had a few pieces of meat, feeling a little full, Shi Oshiji wiped his mouth, and said embarrassedly to Du Zhongxiao: "Comment on things and laugh." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's okay, you've worked hard these days." If you like it, eat more. ”

While eating meat, he drank wine and gossiped.

Shi Oshisi said: "Before the little one came to comment on Zhuangzi, he happened to see Wu Kejiu leaving. Their family hired two ox-carts, and there was no servant or maidservant to follow them, and they looked very desolate. I think a few years ago, the Wu family opened the largest restaurant in the county, and the countryside is beyond the boundary, how majestic! He deserved to die, he offended the judges, and he ended up today! ”

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly waved his hand: "The Wu family is defeated, what does it have to do with me!" I became a Jinshi, and I never troubled the Wu family. Although Wu Kejiu offended me ruthlessly in the past, I am an official of the imperial court, and I will not be unable to get along with the people. ”

Shi Oshi slapped his thigh: "Isn't it!" Who in the county doesn't say that the evaluation is generous, Wu Kejiu did so much back then, and he didn't retaliate against them after the Jinshi in the evaluation. Otherwise, the Wu family would still be able to support it for so long? Others don't know, but those of us who work in the yamen can understand that the evaluation of affairs as an official has never let the yamen do things. The Wu family has today, or for Furen, they are self-inflicted! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and didn't speak. What do you need the yamen to do? There was no need to open his mouth at all, as soon as something happened, the people of Shioshi came by themselves. Wu Kejiu is the same thing, when his family was in power, he offended people, and then he was in trouble, no one helped him, and everyone fell into the well, but that's it. The land that Du Zhongxiao bought was deliberately far away from Wu Kejiu's Zhuangzi, because he didn't want to cause gossip among the villagers. When the Du family began to sell wine, they gave porridge and were known as great benevolent people, and this title should be cherished.

Shi Zhisi ate and drank happily, and couldn't help but talk about Wu Kejiu's bad luck in the past few years, and the more he talked, the happier he became. Wu Kejiu ended up so miserable, it was indispensable for Shi Ji Si and these people to fall into the ground, and many things were handled by Shi Ji Si.

Du Zhongxiao listened quietly and did not speak, without sorrow or joy in his heart. From the day he became a jinshi, Wu Kejiu's ending was already doomed, and Du Zhongxiao had already thought things through, and there would be no more emotional fluctuations.

Officials and officials, in fact, are two classes, Shi Ji Si couldn't guess Du Zhongxiao's thoughts, and there was some meaning in his words.

The more he talked, the happier he became, Shi Zhisi took a big sip of wine and said: "The Wu family really had no choice in the end, and the land was sold extremely cheaply, only more than 800 yuan per mu. It's a pity that I heard about it late, and I was bought by Cao Jiejie and Zheng Yuanwai. His family is all good land, and the price is the same! ”

Du Zhongxiao just smiled and said to Shi Zhisi: "You have lowered the price to buy land, but don't borrow my name." ”

Shi Zhisi shook his head again and again: "The judge is a great good person in the county, how can he do such a thing!" Everyone knows that Wu Kejiu has done too many bad things before, and there is no room for him here, so he sold the land at a low price, what does it have to do with the commentary? ”

Du Zhongxiao listened to Shi Oshi's nonsense, looked up into the distance, and saw that the surroundings were empty, and occasionally a pheasant flew up from the grass without knowing what was startled, and he felt relaxed for no reason. was bullied and oppressed so hard by Wu Kejiu back then, if he said that he didn't hate it in his heart, it would be a lie. It's just that Du Zhongxiao is sober-minded, knows how to deal with it appropriately, and chooses the most beneficial way for himself.

This is his hometown, Du Zhongxiao has no plans to move to other places, of course, he wants to establish an image that reassures the villagers. When the county government retaliated against Wu Kejiu, Du Zhongxiao's silence was an attitude, otherwise he would not have been forced to stay in the county in the end. That day, Wu Kejiu came to Du Zhongxiao, and he understood this, Du Zhongxiao did not speak, and the discrimination against the Wu family by the yamen and the people would continue. But Du Zhongxiao just didn't speak, he couldn't forget Wu Kejiu's arrogance that day, and he couldn't forget the hardships he suffered when he was caught in the yamen.

Du Zhongxiao is silent, his attitude towards the villagers of Linying, although he is an official, he will not bully others, he is still the great good man in the past. Such an image can make the home a lot less troublesome. The officials in the county may not always be oriented to themselves, there are always officials who want to become famous by suppressing the wealthy and giants, and the good reputation of the Du family is not left to others.

He was drunk and smoky, and then he said goodbye and left.

Tao Seventeen sent Shi Oshi and came back with Shisanlang to drink wine and eat meat by the charcoal stove.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Tao Seventeen said: "Official, this Shi Zhisi is not a good person. Listening to the meaning of his words, Wu Kejiu, who had a grudge against officials in the past, fell to this step of the field today, all of which were done by these people. In the end, I still thought about buying the Wu family's land at a low price. Not to mention this, listen to his meaning, and want to put these things on the heads of officials. What is the status of an official? How can you be embarrassed by a small person because of such trivial things! I humiliated my identity in vain. If it weren't for the officials' repeated explanations, I don't think this person would have given up! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "You are right. I have a grudge against Wu Kejiu, and everyone in the county knows it. In the past, the Wu family was rich and bribed many public officials in the county, and they were lawless. When I get into the Jinshi, who will dare to take his family's money? Without anyone to support me in the yamen, Wu Kejiu has a grudge against me, so he has become fat in the eyes of these people, who doesn't go up and take a bite? In a few years, the Wu family's huge family business was exhausted, where did the money go? Of course, in the hands of these people. The biggest loss of the Wu family was that Wu Kejiu escorted official property in front of the ya, and the county received it was rotten, and no one was willing to accept it when he arrived in the capital, so he had to use his family property to pay for it. Take the good with the corrupt, and guess where the good goes? I didn't send a party to Wu Kejiu, that's the reason. They get benefits, and I have a bad name, so why bother! ”
