Chapter 82
Master Qian? He came to do something. The summer www.biquge.info Nan is full of doubts, his career has been on the right track recently, there are not many places to rely on the county government, and there are many fewer contacts with him, and he never takes the initiative to come to the door, this time it is quite abnormal.
Xia Nan met with Master Qian in the front hall. Although the use value of the other party has declined, on the surface, Xia Nan is still very enthusiastic: "Master Qian is here, and it is shining!" ”
Master Qian didn't answer, and the expression on his face was quite strange, as if he was entangled in something. Xia Nan looked at him strangely, Master Qian is very strange today, he is good at dancing with long sleeves on weekdays, and he treats people without leakage, and it is rare to be so rude.
Master Qian struggled for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and scolded: "Well, you traitor, you know that a catastrophe is coming!" ”
Xia Nan was confused, where is this singing? He replied inexplicably: "Master Qian, how can you say this?" ”
After getting started, Master Qian was no longer entangled, and spoke much more fluently.
"You are doing business in this county, and the county respects you and gives you convenience many times. But you don't think about returning, but privately smelt ironware, make bird guns, and even shield and hide the anti-thief Huang Mengjia, all of which are capital crimes of copying the family and exterminating the family. ”
It turns out that the government of this era is not as incompetent as depicted in film and television dramas, although it is not deliberately concealed, but the county government is so clear about its actions, it is still a little unexpected for Xia Nan.
Although I don't care much about the county government's warning to the prefecture, it is always better to be able to know one step ahead and take measures to grasp the initiative than to deal with it passively. At present, Xia Nan is most interested in Master Qian's true thoughts, such a door-to-door reprimand seems rude, but in fact, it reveals the inside story of the county government, with the other party's sophistication, there must be a deep meaning.
Xia Nan knocked on the side: "Master Qian, why did you say this, I have always been innocent and law-abiding, but I have only trained a few villagers to prevent pirates and Li Chaos." Smelting some iron is also for making agricultural tools, as for the bird gun is really nonsense, I am a businessman, how can I make such a militaristic weapon. ”
Master Qian naturally didn't believe him, but he opened his mouth with another content: "The county is a native of Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and his term of office is about to expire, whether he is transferred or Zhishi, he will not stay in Lingao anyway." I'm a local, and my wife, children, and parents are all in Lingao......"
In the summer, Nan heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, what Master Qian meant: Wu County Ling came to Qiongzhou alone to take office, and his wife and children were in his hometown, which was also the practice of being an official in the Ming Dynasty. At present, Wu County ordered to get rid of himself with the help of the power of the city, and Master Qian obviously had no confidence, so he reported to himself in disguise.
"Master Qian is a smart person, he leaves a line in everything, and he wants to see him in the future." Xia Nan said with a smile.
Master Qian had a straight face: "I received the shackles of the county honor, so I naturally want to share the worries of his old man, I will call you, I hope that you will find your way back before the arrival of the imperial court soldiers, and ask the government for guilt, but I am not here to make friends with you." ”
"What the master taught me."
Master Qian left after dropping a few words, and in the summer, Nan offered ten taels of tea money to show his gratitude, he did not smile unusually, just as he came gently, waved his sleeves, and did not take away a tael of silver.
After Master Qian left, Xia Nan called Huang Mengjia and told him directly, "You are now a thief in the eyes of the government, and now I take you in, and the Wu County Order of this county will report to the government and transfer troops to arrest you and me, if it is you, what will you do?" ”
Huang Mengjia gestured horizontally with his hand on his neck: "Kill the dog official and occupy the county seat!" ”
Xia Nan shook his head: "It's not the best choice. We Han people have a saying, called widely accumulate grain, slow to be the king, at the moment we need to accumulate strength, not occupy a broken county town and the army of the imperial court. However, this Wu County order is disobedient and has to be beaten. You train hard, and once in a few days, you will fight in Lingao County, and it will be a drill. ”
After Master Qian came out of Xia Nan, he was in a complicated mood, and he didn't go anywhere, but went back to his house directly. When he entered the house, he instructed the concubine to fetch water to wash his face. After washing my face a few times, my mood slowly calmed down. The little concubine said delicately, "Master, the concubine took a fancy to a bracelet yesterday and asked for three taels of silver, so today while you are at home, it is better to buy it......"
If it was usual, Master Qian agreed without saying a word. This concubine was bought from Fucheng after accepting a bribe from Xia Nan, and I heard that she was a maid from a big family, because she hooked up with the main family, she was swept out of the house by the eldest woman, sold at a cheap price, and was picked up cheaply by Master Qian. This little lady has fine skin and tender meat, a pair of eyes are very attractive, and she usually serves Master Qian comfortably, and she is very favored.
But he was in a bad mood today, and he didn't have time to deal with it, so his eyes widened: "Losers, you know how to buy this, buy that, go and go, and call Mrs. here." ”
When the concubine saw him lose his temper, she didn't dare to say any more, so she hurriedly went to call the main room. The main house is the daughter of Mr. Private School, quite a few words, a little more knowledge than ordinary women, Master Qian every time there is a big event, he will consult with her, even if he can't come up with any ideas, it is good to open up his own ideas. When she came, he told her everything about it.
His wife thought for a while and said: "In this way, this surnamed Xia is very rich, and he has trained a private soldier that officers and soldiers may not have fought before, even if he does not rebel, he will definitely not take the government seriously." Lingao, this place is far away from the emperor of the sky, the imperial court may not have the heart to take care of this matter, the county lord does this, the surname Xia is not the opposite, and the first person who will suffer at that time is the county lord, followed by those lords and counties, you must also be affected. You're doing the right thing, and when the time comes, maybe the person surnamed Xia will let you go. ”
"But what if the imperial court takes care of it, what if the officers and soldiers win? If I do this today, it is tantamount to ventilating the news, will it be settled after the autumn? ”
"What are you afraid of, don't you have the words 'ventilation report' written on the door of your head, and the surname Xia will not be publicized everywhere if he gets benefits. Besides, if the court wins, who will hold these trivial matters accountable. But if the imperial court is defeated and the surname Xia rebels, you are not so simple as being settled by the Autumn Queen, and you are afraid that you will not be able to keep your head, which is more important, and there is still a choice? ”
Master Qian actually knows this truth, but someone needs to strengthen his confidence. He hugged his wife and said with a shy face: "It's better to be my wife, understand things, and can help her husband get an idea at a critical moment." ”
His wife took a sip: "It's good to know me at this time, I only know how to coax that little hoof on weekdays." ”
"Where is it, how can she compare with Mrs. you, she has an empty face and no knowledge......"
"I'm old and decrepit, how can I compare with other people's eighteen or nineteen-year-old age, I'm afraid you're too lazy to touch my body."
Master Qian let go of a matter of heart, his mood improved, looking at his wife, compared with the concubine, there is another style, so he put his hands up and down, and said: "Madame's charm is still there, how can her little girl have such a charm......" touched her out of breath, and the two rolled to the bed to do the husband and wife's business.
