Cui Geng got up to greet him and met with Cui Mi, the former county commander, and the people with heads and faces in Jiangdu County.

After a few words of greeting, everyone entered the county hall.

Cui Geng sat on the main seat, and Cui Mi accompanied him, so that the original county officials paid tribute to Cui Geng, and this handover was half completed.

The remaining half is about the money and grain accounts of the county government.

If the accounts are consistent with the physical goods, Cui Geng signed to express his approval, and Cui Mi handed over the county order seal, and the handover was completed.

What if it doesn't? There's something special about it here. According to the rules, the successor official can refuse to hand over, either the previous official makes up the shortfall, or the two of them fight a lawsuit in the official department.

Of course, in general, the successor will not do too much, just almost.

Feng Changqing, Yao Du and Zhou Xing were all sent out by Cui Geng to check the accounts, and the two Jiangdu county commanders before and after were slowly sipping tea soup in the lobby.

After greeting for a while, Cui Mi cleared his throat and asked, "I heard that Cui County Ling was born in the Qinghe Cui family?" ”

Where is Cui Geng from Qinghe Cui's family? It was Wu Zetian's henchmen who held stinky feet and disgusted Li Tang's old ministers, and temporarily added him a family background. But now that the holy decree has been issued like this, and the four characters of Qinghe Cui are crowned in front of his Cui Geng's name, how can he say that it is not? Isn't that a blatant slap in the face of Wu Zetian?

But in the face of the genuine five surnames and seven hopes, he really lacked confidence, and said "hmm" noncommittally.

Fortunately, the other party did not exhaust the roots, and said to himself: "This official was born in the Boling Cui family, in fact, the two of us Cui are originally a family. Cui Yiru, a descendant of Jizi in the Qin period, served as the doctor of the Qin State and was named the Marquis of Donglai. In the Han Dynasty, Cui Ye's ancestor lived in Qinghe, and his descendants were Qinghe Cui. His younger brother Cui Zhongmou Laozu lived in Boling Anping, and his descendants were Boling Cui's family. ”

Cui Geng secretly cried out in distress, and said in his heart What is the relationship between your Boling Cui clan and Qinghe Cui clan, this is not close to me, and then said vaguely: "Well, it is a family, it is a family." ”

Cui Mi continued: "Cui County reassures you, the Cui family can't cheat the Cui family, there is no problem with this account. ”

Problematic!

Cui Mi didn't say it, but just to say this sentence after sparing a big circle, Cui Geng felt more and more unstable in his heart, and felt that there was something wrong with this account.

He thought to himself, I have a little bit of detail, if Cui Mi has the heart, he can find out with a little inquiry. He is a serious character from five surnames and seven hopes, how can he be so affectionate to me, an impostor? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be scoffed?

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. I'm afraid that this account is not only problematic, but quite problematic!

After another hour or so, Feng Changqing, Yao Du and Zhou Xing came back and whispered a few words in Cui Geng's ear.

"So much?" Cui Geng couldn't help but exclaim.

Cui Mi's face immediately changed slightly, originally in his thoughts, what kind of talent could a subordinate who sells alcohol have? As long as he does the same thing and is close to the liquor dealer, he has to help him carry the black pot

Unexpectedly, people seem to have really found out.

Holding the last trace of luck, Cui Mi asked, "Why are there so many?" Yangzhou County has a lot of property, and some gaps are always inevitable, and Cui County's order should not be too nitpicky. ”

"A little bit of a gap?"

Cui Geng didn't have a good face for the kind of person who made a trick behind his back, and sneered and spit out a few words from between his teeth, "Twenty-three thousand four hundred and sixty-two times, Cui County Order, if you really think that this money is nothing, just make up for it to this official!" This pot, Lao Tzu doesn't carry it! ”

In fact, Cui Mi only knew that he had lost about 20,000 yuan, and the specific number was unknown.

Listening to what Cui Geng said, he already understood that Cui Erlang, who was born as a wine seller in front of him, really has a capable person under his hands. Even more beneficial than the people who have been specially trained by their own family to specialize in accounts!

He didn't dare to continue to deny it, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Cui County Order, let's talk alone?" ”

"It's fine."

When there were only two county commanders left in the lobby, Cui Mi immediately complained to Cui Gengyi.

What is "there are powerful slaves in Yangzhou who have relatives under the Yamen", what "there are too many celebrities who come and go, and the financial pressure of the county government is huge", what is "In recent years, Yangzhou has been plagued by famines, and the taxes of the imperial court cannot be less, and I am unwilling to criticize the small people"...... And so on, one by one.

Even if Cui Geng's eyes were closed, he knew that this grandson was definitely not telling the truth.

What did Wu Zetian tell himself to do in Yangzhou? It's time to make money!

Jiangdu County's long-term money for a year alone is about 10,000 yuan, which is higher than the normal Yulu of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!

According to this inference, how rich is the entire county?

In this case, there is still a deficit, no need to ask, it is this Cui Mi Cui Da County Commander who is too greedy and has overstretched the entire county government. Otherwise, if you move it casually, you should be able to make up for the 20,000 yuan.

"Say no more!"

Cui Geng waved his hand lightly and said, "Cui County Order, let's make it clear, although 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, it is not that Cui someone can't help you fill this hole." But if you expect to get away with it like this, you're underestimating someone Cui, right? ”

"What? Are you really willing to fill in the hole for me? That's great! Then Cui County's order can be hurried, and the disaster relief is going to be done recently, and this money and food ......" Cui Mi was happy and told the truth, and it was too late to take it back.

Wipe!

This grandson dug such a deep pit for me!

Cui Geng gritted his teeth and said, "Cui County Order, what else do you have to hide?" Quickly speaking, yes. I will listen to half of the untrue sentences, let's go to the Ministry of Officials to fight a lawsuit, and then your career will be over. ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Absolutely none. Cui Mi said: "It's not a secret, the official is that there are too many people in the family, and there is a little bit of greed for money, but he is absolutely sincere to his friends." ”

Cui Geng sneered: "It's like being so sincere just now? ”

Cui Mi straightened his chest and said confidently: "Didn't you promise to help me make up for the deficit just now!" It's different now, as long as you are willing to help me fill the hole, you are my friend Cui Mi, and this official will be rewarded in the future. ”

Cui Geng didn't expect him to have any good rewards at all, but he just felt that Li Jingmen, who came to Junchen, was eyeing him, and he didn't need to make more strong enemies.

You know, Cui Mi is a member of the Boling Cui clan.

The five surnames and seven hopes are in the same spirit, and one is lost and one is prosperous.

Although they do not have many high-level ~ officials now, low-level officials are all over the country. Plus in-laws...... It's better not to provoke or not to provoke.

Isn't it just a pit of 20,000 yuan? I brought a lot of property to Yangzhou this time, and it was not too difficult to take it out.

Besides, this money is only temporarily borrowed from the county government for turnover, and it is not that it will not be repaid. With the wealth of Jiangdu, as long as you are not greedy and move around, you can return it in a year or two.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said generously: "Okay, okay, the deficit of more than 20,000 yuan will be carried by this official for you." But there is one condition. ”

"On what terms?" Cui Yu swallowed his saliva and said, "If you really want to have something to do with Qinghe Cui's family, I can't help this." If Bolingtri's words......"

Well?

Hearing this, Cui Geng climbed down the pole and said, "Could it be that you can help me by belonging to the origin of the Boling Cui clan?" ”

Even with Cui Mi's shamelessness, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he said, "Uh...... Under normal circumstances, of course, no, but now the patriarch of the Bolingcui clan is the father. He's an old man...... It's easier to speak, and maybe it can be done. ”

What do you mean by being good at talking? Isn't it just a matter of being greedy for money? It's really father and son nature!

Cui Geng was a little curious and asked, "How much does that cost?" ”

"There is no precedent for this." Cui Mi subconsciously looked around, and said in a low voice: "It's about the reputation of the five surnames and seven hopes, I estimate that if you want your father to agree, you will have to get 200,000 yuan." Of course, you don't have to give money to add your name to your genealogy, you have to take your time. ”

Cui Geng thought about it, this thing is not too strange.

Even in the Jin Dynasty, where the scholars were the strongest, it was not uncommon for the impersonation of the county to forge genealogies, and there were even high-ranking officials in the court who risked killing their heads to participate in it.

Now that the power of the Shi clan is declining, Cui Yu's father has no lower limit, and it is not impossible to have a prison guard and steal himself.

Cui Geng didn't really want to recognize a fake ancestor, he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

He changed the topic and got down to business, "It's not that this official has any thoughts about your Boling Cui clan, I want to ask Cui County Commander to introduce the temperament and temperament of everyone in the county government to this official." ”

"That's it, it's easy to say, let's talk about ...... first"

Tuk tuk tuk ~~

Cui Mi had just said a few words, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and someone shouted: "Cui County Order!" Choi County Order! ”

Cui Geng opened the door and saw that it was the head of the Jiangdu County Ya's fast catching team, but he had the same surname as Song Genhai, called Song Liming. I think that Song Genhai was also the head of Qingyuan County, which is quite a coincidence. However, Song Liming is short, fat and dark, and he is very unlikable from his appearance.

Cui Geng frowned slightly and said, "Song Bantou, what's the matter?" ”

Song Liming said: "Zhao Mingyu, the criminal officer, is clamoring to see you, and he said...... He also said......"

"What else?"

"He said that if you don't dare to see him, that's what you raised."

Although he didn't say it, Cui Geng also knew that it was not a good thing, and said angrily: "Bending the law for personal gain and blackmailing merchants, is he still reasonable?" Okay, I'll be promoted now, and the first case that the official goes to Jiangdu County will handle him Zhao Mingyu! ”

Cui Mi saw the stitches and said, "Since the county order of Cui is going to try the case, let's officially hand over the post of county order first, right?" Otherwise, you're not right, aren't you? ”

"Okay."

Cui Geng signed his name in the prepared documents and took over the big seal of the Jiangdu County Order.

"Thank you Cui County!"

Cui Mi was overjoyed, and ran out of the hall with the papers, for fear that Cui Geng would regret not helping him fill the deficit of 20,000 yuan.

"Look at your little bit of talent!"

Cui Geng smiled bitterly, slapped the startled wood, and said, "Ascend to the hall!" ”

"Mighty!" This is the first time that the freshly baked county magistrate has asked about the case, and the officials are very hard, knocking on the water and fire sticks, and shouting in unison.

The effort was not great, so Zhao Mingyu was brought up.

Yao Du sneered: "Boy, you are very fat, I heard that you are in prison, and you dare to scold my family?" ”

"Hmph, I don't have anything to say to you."

Zhao Mingyu didn't want to be beaten, so he twisted his head to the side and said to Cui Geng: "Now that all my colleagues are here, I guess Cui County Ling also knows the stakes of this case." Now, can you give me an explanation for the lowly position? ”

Cui Gengxin said that I know a fart, looked at Yongguang and said, "Lieutenant Yongxian, what do you think?" ”

"Me?"

Cangchang~~

Yongguang pulled out the longer and thicker waist knife again, and said: "I am a rough person, I only know that whoever gives the county order is not happy, that is, Yongguang is not happy, I cut him!" ”

Zhao Mingyu stiffened his neck and said disdainfully: "It's just that I'm not happy to find Cui County's order, what's the matter?" You cut it! ”

"Uh......" Yongguang shrank his head, looked at Cui Geng, and stopped talking.

Wipe!

is also the county lieutenant of Jiangdu County, and there is really no one!

Cowardice!

Slick!

Cui Geng was disappointed.

Zhao Mingyu had expected this, and sneered: "In addition, let me tell you again, today's case is about Zhang Qilang, the county lieutenant of Yong, what do you say now?" ”

"What? It's still about Zhang Qilang? ”

Yongguang became even more vague when he heard the words "Zhang Qilang", and said weakly: "Cui County Order, or this matter will be discussed in the long run?" ”
