When he arrived at Shen, it was still early, so Shen Tuo no longer stayed in Qingyuan County, notified Guo Ke, deputy of the regimental training, and escorted Hu Zeyi to return to Quanzhou Mansion.

Although Hu Zeyi is only the Fengyi Lang of Liupin, he is the local chief official in charge of the civil affairs of Qingyuan County, not to mention Chen Ziang and Cui Geng, even Feng Tingshi of Quanzhou Mansion has no right to dispose of it. According to the charter, Hu Zeyi was to be temporarily detained back to Quanzhou Mansion, and then Feng Tingshi drafted a recital and sent it to Chang'an to report Hu Zeyi's mistakes to the ministry. Then the officials will submit it to the government affairs hall, and the prime ministers of the government affairs hall will deliberate and decide.

During the Tang Dynasty, the appointment and dismissal of all military and political officials and officials above the fifth rank were decided by the prime minister's team of the political affairs hall.

Although Hu Zeyi did not reach the fifth grade, he was a county magistrate, so his conviction this time must be decided by Chang'an.

After the Chang'an side has the result of the resolution, it will notify the Quanzhou government. As a result, whether it was appointment, dismissal, promotion or assassination, Hu Zeyi had to be escorted into Chang'an.

This is the difference between the chief official and the adjutant.

Like Chen Ziang's Qingyuan County Cheng or Cui Geng's Qingyuan County Lieutenant, neither can he reach the five grades, nor is he a local military and political chief, if he really commits a crime, the Quanzhou Thorn Shi can be directly dealt with.

Shen Tuo asked Guo Ke to arrange for someone to escort Hu Zeyi to the prisoner car, and then led the army to drive out, and under the send-off of Cui Geng, Chen Ziang and several assistant officials of the county government, he swept out of the east gate of Qingyuan County.

If they were faster, they would have been able to reach Putian County before dark. Then stay overnight in Putian County, and return to Quanzhou before lunch time tomorrow.

As for the group of mountain bandits arrested this time, Shen Tuo only took away the two main culprits of the one-eyed dragon and the bantam tiger. And the big buffalo, because Cui Geng promised the other party before that he would leave him a way to live, so he was temporarily locked up in the Qingyuan South Prison with other mountain bandits, and was interrogated by the Qingyuan County Ya.

and Fang Ming, who was also imprisoned in the South Prison.

If he killed someone in Qingyuan County, he had to stay in Qingyuan County for interrogation, and then the Qingyuan County Government would send the results of the interrogation to Quanzhou, and then the Quanzhou Government would send it to the Chang'an Criminal Department for approval.

For murderers like Fang Ming, the Qingyuan County Ya only has the right to interrogate and decide the case, but has no right to directly dispose of it. If you want to kill, chop or stab for 3,000 miles, it must be approved by the Criminal Department.

After the Criminal Department has an instruction, the Qingyuan County Ya can dispose of Fang Ming according to the instructions of the Criminal Department.

However, Cui Geng believes that it is not a matter of time before this guy goes to the guillotine.

However, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day, in the same way, Hu Zeyi has now become a prisoner, and Qingyuan County naturally cannot do without the county order to deal with daily civil affairs.

Therefore, Shen Tuo was in a hurry to return to Quanzhou this time, and there were also reasons for this, and he wanted to solve the situation that Qingyuan County did not have a county seat as soon as possible.

Ordinary government affairs, Cui Geng and Chen Ziang, he believes that they can be solved. But it's not like that's hanging all the time.

He had to report the matter to Shi Fengpu and urge him to get in touch with the Chang'an Ministry of Officials as soon as possible, so that the Ministry could re-screen an official to fill the vacancy of the Qingyuan County Order.

It is still the same as the previous reason, all military and political leaders and officials above the fifth rank must be decided by the prime minister's team in the political affairs hall. The Ministry of Officials provides a list of alternate county orders, and the Quanzhou government has the right to recommend them nearby.

Shen Tuo left, Cui Geng and Chen Ziang were tired enough, and seeing that the county government was nothing serious, they tacitly skipped work in advance and went home separately.

One is that I have to go home to catch up on sleep, and I am already sleepy.

One is that he has to go home to recuperate, and he has diarrhea and is weak.

……

……

At dusk, Lijingfang.

Cui Mansion.

After Cui Geng made up for an hour or so, he was woken up by the sound of people walking back and forth in the room. It turned out that when he was asleep, Mao Bo went to invite Lang Zhong, a famous man in the city, to diagnose his pulse, and at the same time Lang Zhong prescribed a prescription to nourish and nourish his body.

When he woke up, Lang Zhong was already gone. Xiao Jiu'er also boiled the medicine and brought it to his bed.

He sat up slowly, looked at the family members of Mao Bo, Xiao Jiu and Erniang who had been guarding the bed, and thought about the exhaustion caused by dealing with the mountain bandits in the past two days, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, it feels good to have a family! Even for them, I, Cui Erlang, have to live well!

"Childe, drink the decoction first!"

Xiao Jiu'er scooped the soup with a small spoon and was about to blow it on his mouth, but Cui Geng took the soup and said, "I drink it myself, how can I be so squeamish?" ”

After a few big gulps, the decoction was drunk until only the dregs of the medicine remained.

Xiao Jiu'er took back the empty bowl and said: "Zhang Langzhong said, Gongzi is very empty now, this decoction happens to be for recuperating the body, as long as you take it three times a day on time for half a month, your body will slowly recuperate!" The little one went to prepare the medicinal soup for the son before going to bed. ”

After that, Xiao Jiu'er walked out of Cui Geng's room.

However, Mao Bo had a little blame on his face, shook his head and sighed: "Erlang, I also heard what happened on the tower of the city gate last night, and I also heard from the officials of your county government. Alas, you are really confused, croton is poisonous, how can you personally get into danger? In case there is a bad thing, you let the old man come to the Nine Springs, how to explain to the old lady? ”

"Xu Mao, this old guy is right this time, Erlang, Erniang has to talk about you this time!"

Erniang slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a little disgust: "You are not like before now, you are now not only the county lieutenant of Qingyuan, but also the head of our Cui family!" You are the backbone of the Cui family, in case there was a bad pool last night, the Cui family would collapse. Erniang has finally survived until now, you have to have three long and two short, who do you want Erniang to count on in the future? ”

Saying that, Erniang, who has always been heartless and calculating, actually wiped her tears, and it didn't look like she was pretentious.

Seeing this, Cui Geng gently reached out and patted her shoulder, then looked at Mao Bo with a smile, and said with a smile: "I'm not good, what's wrong?" ”

"There's nothing going on, Zhang Langzhong can say, the matter of croton eating dead people has happened before in our Qingyuan County!"

Mao Bo said: "Erlang, in the future, I would rather give up some silver than take risks." ”

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Cui Geng knew that Mao Bo was chattering, especially caring about himself, which was even more chatty than his father, and hurriedly said very cooperatively: "In the future, I will hide when I see danger, and I will flash when I see difficulties, no matter what, you must learn to protect yourself first!" That's all right, right? ”

Mao Bo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, don't look at Cui Geng is now the head of the family and the lieutenant of Qingyuan County, in his eyes, Cui Geng will always be the child who doesn't grow up, and always the little Erlang who loves to get into trouble and sticks to him when he is a child.

Cui Geng didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, the mountain bandits attacked the city, and I asked you to temporarily let the masters and craftsmen go home to rest and close the wine shop. How's the brewery now? ”

"Reopened, reopened this morning, otherwise the shopkeeper Tian will not be able to supply the goods, and he will be urged to death!"

Mao Bo, the old housekeeper of Cui Mansion, is now also in charge of the winery, and replied: "The work has been suspended in the past few days, and the loss to the winery is not small, and I am thinking of recruiting more apprentices and making up for some losses." ”

"Well, you still have to worry about the wine shop," Cui Geng said, "Expand or expand, you can do it!" ”

Mao Bo snorted, and said with some embarrassment: "Alas, I am also old, and my spirit is not as good as before, I am afraid that if this continues, it will only affect the operation of the winery." If only Mrs. Embroidery was there. She came to preside over the affairs of the winery, and she was much, much stronger than the old decay. It will also be of great benefit to the winery in the future. Old man, I still wait for Mrs. Xiuxiu to come back and return the winery to her. As for me, continue to go back to the house to be my housekeeper, and take care of these things at home for Erlang. ”

As soon as Mao Bo mentioned Su Xiuxiu, Erniang couldn't help frowning, and her face became a little unnatural.

Her strange appearance was still discovered by Cui Geng, but he didn't say anything, but smiled at Mao Bo: "Well, the matter of the wine shop is too worrying, your old man will work hard for a while, and when my sister-in-law comes back, you will come back to the ancestral house." You are also old, and you have been in charge of the Cui family for so many years, and it is time for you to let you enjoy Qingfu. ”

"Don't you dare, don't you dare, the old man should do all this, I just thought that when Erlang married a wife and had children, the old man would be blind even if he died!" Mao Bo sighed, although Cui Geng respected him, he still did not forget his identity in the Cui family.

"Yes, there will be that day, you old man will be blessed and live a long life."

He comforted Mao Bo a little, and then said: "Mao Bo, my body only needs to take medicine on time and recuperate for a period of time, and it will be able to recover as before. Now that there is nothing to do at home, there is no one in charge of the brewery, so you should go back to the brewery first. Another day, I'll go to Zhouxifang to see how prosperous the winery is now. ”

"Okay, the old man went back first! But Erlang, you can't ...... in the future."

After that, Mao Bo told Cui Geng again, and almost grinded Cui Geng's ears out of the cocoon, and then turned around and walked out of the room.

Seeing Mao Bo out of the room, Erniang also slowly stood up from the edge of the bed and said, "Erlang, you have a good rest, Erniang will go back first." Now that there is no Xu Mao in the house to take care of things, those goosebumps and have to be done by the old lady herself, which is really heartbreaking......"

As he spoke, Lianbu moved lightly, wanting to leave the room.

But before he could take a step, he was called by Cui Geng: "Erniang, stay!" ”

Erniang's heart was a little abrupt, and she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Cui Geng smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Erniang meaningfully, and said, "What's the matter, Erniang, you don't have a number in your heart?" ”

Erniang vaguely guessed, but she shook her head and pretended to be confused: "What's the matter?" ”

Cui Geng said bluntly: "My sister-in-law, why didn't you ask for my opinion, and you agreed to Su Youtian's old guy privately?" ”

"Huh? What's the matter with embroidery? What did I promise my in-laws? Erniang squeaked.

Cui Geng was really angry at this time, straightened his face and rubbed his hand on the bed, and shouted solemnly: "Erniang, if you pretend to be confused again, I will ask Mao Bo to cancel your monthly regular money?" Forget it, simply hire another housekeeper from outside to come in, and let Erniang completely retire in Nanyuan. ”

Cancel the regular money, go to Nanyuan to eat and wait for the dead?

Erniang suddenly became hairy, damn, the old lady is only in her thirties, the good youth is still there, the future days are so good, how can you go to support the elderly?

Immediately, she lowered her face, said she would cry, her tears rose up, and she begged bitterly: "Erlang, don't... I said..."
