The three of them were talking, and footsteps sounded outside, and Erhei went out to take a look, and came back to report: "The magistrate of Jiang Zhi County is here, please come over to the house." With that, he handed over an invitation.

Wang Xian glanced at him and said, "Now is not the time to see him, let's go back to that person." ”

"How?" Erhei asked.

"Just find a reason." Wang Xian didn't care and said: "Say I'm not feeling well today, I'll definitely visit another day." ”

"Okay." Erhei went out to reply, came back and talked for a while, and someone came outside again, Erhei went out to take a look again, and replied: "Zhao Xiancheng is here." ”

"Yes, please." Wang Xian was not afraid of revealing his stuffing at all and said: "Forget it, I'll welcome it." ”

Zhao County Cheng is the original Zhao Patrol Inspection, because of the contribution to disaster relief, he was promoted to the county's Bapin County Cheng. Anyway, he is also a Shangguan, and he didn't participate in those bad things, so it makes sense that Wang Xian has to go out to greet him.

The two met in the front yard, and Wang Xian said deeply: "Brother Zhao." ”

Zhao Xiancheng didn't dare to hold it up at all, walked forward quickly, and supported Wang Xian hard, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't make trouble, I should give you a salute." ”

"Doesn't this mess up humility?" After all, Zhao Xiancheng was born in patrol inspection, and he was powerful, so Wang Xian was easily helped up by him.

"What kind of humility, not to mention that my brother is now a celebrity in front of the domain, my brother is still looking forward to your support." Zhao Xiancheng said with a smile: "Just say that I was a brother back then, but I followed you to mix it up." "This is the truth, although he is a Jiupin inspection, but Wang Xian, the acting historian, is the spokesperson of Wei Zhi County, and it is not uncommon for him to control the big with a small one.

"I'm just a fox and a tiger." Wang Xian touched his nose with a smile and said, "It's cold outside, let's not poke it, let's go into the house and say." ”

The two affectionately put their arms into the house, Shuai Hui re-served tea, and Zhao County Cheng Zhilu said that he was going to be an official soon, and said very crampedly: "I can't help it, this is the work of the subordinates." ”

"What's not to be desired?" Shuai Hui said with a hippie smile: "We don't read much, and we also know that we can't forget our roots." Don't forget to dig wells, we will always be my family's followers. ”

Zhao County Cheng Zhi said, this is obviously for himself, and hurriedly said: "That's it, I am also such a person, I have not forgotten for a moment the cultivation grace of Lord Wei, as well as the support of Brother Wang." ”

"Brother Zhao is serious." Wang Xian smiled: "I knew that you were a benevolent and righteous man, unlike some people, who are ungrateful and turn their faces and don't recognize people."

Hearing Wang Xian say so much, Zhao Xiancheng also sighed in his heart, and hurriedly drew a line with that person and said: "I really didn't expect Master Jiang to be such a person, but the foolish brother assured God that I didn't get involved with them." Saying that, he sighed and said: "But brother, you also know that the two masters of the county are in charge of everything, and they don't count if they say anything, when Wu Wei's brother was expelled from the yamen, I was very angry, and said a few words for him, not only did it not work, but he was also humiliated...... "Such a big man, his eyes were red and he said: "This county is really better than being a patrol."

Although he did not return to Fuyang after arriving in Hangzhou, Wang Xian still knows the situation in the county very well. He knew that those big households hated Zhao Patrol as a lackey of Wei Zhi County, blocked water and land transportation, prevented them from transporting grain out of Lu, and arrested people and detained boats, which made several members suffer great shame. The big families couldn't help Wei Zhixian and Wang Xian, so they took out their anger at him, and his life as the second master was really not good.

"It's not easy to know that Brother Zhao is Dao," Wang Xian comforted gently: "But we're going to get through it, and good days are coming."

"How?" Zhao Xiancheng put away his tears in his eyes, looked at Wang Xian and said, "What news is there from my brother?" ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, but it has to be kept secret." Wang Xian smiled mysteriously.

"Brother is not a big-mouthed person......" Zhao Xiancheng said.

"Zhilu said," Wang Xian nodded, "but I'm not either." ”

"......" Zhao Xiancheng was speechless: "Okay." ”

"Don't be disappointed, it's a good thing anyway." Wang Xian smiled and emphasized: "Great good"

"That feeling is good......" Zhao Xiancheng looked at the appearance of Wang Xian's old god, remembering that he crossed the river with an iron rope and played with the heroic posture of the big Fuyang family in applause, and suddenly his confidence increased, and he took the initiative to ask: "What can I serve, brother, don't see outside"

"Is this ......" Wang Xian muttered for a while, "There is really something to ask Brother Zhao to help with"

"Please speak" Zhao Xiancheng came to the spirit.

"I need the county's disaster relief accounts." Wang Xian said: "Brother Zhao should be able to reach it." ”

Zhao Xiancheng's heart sank, and he stammered: "Yu, Yu, what?" ”

"I'm useful." Wang Xian said lightly: "What's the matter, Brother Zhao is inconvenient?" ”

"Fang, convenient." Zhao Xiancheng immediately remembered that Wang Xian checked the accounts and moved Li Sheng down, and said: "Mo, Mo Fei, what's the trick in it?" ”

"Hehe......" Wang Xian smiled and didn't speak. But it's no different from what it says...... Zhao Xiancheng almost concluded that someone in the yamen had told Wang Xian.

In fact, there is nothing surprising about the insider, just a correction of the previous policy by the gentry. Wei Zhixian, the official, is too clear, not only has high standards for himself, but also has strict requirements for others, which makes the people below miserable.

Later, Wang Xian appeared, and the situation was better, and some bad rules and practices were restored, so that everyone's life could go on. But after the disaster relief began, under great pressure, Wei Zhixian reverted to his old ways, demanding that every penny be spent on the victims, and this time even Wang Xian said that it was useless.

In other counties, regardless of the lives of the victims, the officials all made a lot of money, like Fuyang County, the victims were well fed and lived well, but the officials were going to die poor, it was really the only one, and the officials did not dare to complain openly, and they were already very depressed in private.

Fortunately, Wei Zhixian was transferred away halfway, and the officials immediately reverted to their old ways, they wanted to get back what they had lost, and because the price of grain in Fuyang had dropped, they had room for manipulation - the officials bought grain at a fair price, but still sold it to the victims of the disaster at the original high price.

On the other hand, the big families who suffered serious blood loss were also eager to recoup their capital, and they asked Jiang Zhixian to transfer the objects of cash-for-work to their tea plantations and workshops, and wantonly squeezed these cheap laborers. The victims worked harder than before, but the reward was only half of the original...... Although there is still so much food, the price of food has fallen by half

The price difference here was all pocketed by the gentry. They think that this method is very ingenious and can be unaware, but how can they hide it from Wang Xian, who knows the roots?

How can a cat not steal? In other counties, in fact, this is nothing, after all, there are no starvation victims. But Fuyang is a typical example of the vigorous propaganda of the imperial court and the province, once the work for relief actively promoted by the top has become a big joke, do you think the imperial court and the province will be angry?

Thinking of the secret conversation between Zhou Zhentai and Wang Xian, eighty percent of the victims of the disaster have sued the province. Feeling the anger from the court and the province, Zhao Xiancheng couldn't help but sweat profusely, after all, he knew and also shared the spoils, so he couldn't escape from the Yu family...... The more Zhao Xiancheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his face turned white.

"Brother Zhao don't worry, I won't let you be implicated, on the contrary, I will let you make this great contribution" Wang Xian saw that this guy was frightened, and comforted him: "The thing is done, maybe you can be promoted to ...... again"

It seems that I want to expose them. Zhao Xiancheng calmed down for the time being, and said with a difficult smile: "Xiancheng hasn't sat down yet, I don't expect to be promoted." But my brother has a life, and I'm sure I'll do it. ”

"Excellent." Wang Xian praised his head and said: "When the brother clears the demonic atmosphere, it will be the day when Brother Zhao raises his eyebrows."

Zhao Xiancheng suddenly realized, it turned out that Wang Xian meant this - he wanted to find out the crimes of the officials and gentry who were up and down and filled their own pockets, and they came to Jiang Zhixian No matter what, they first ensured their own safety is the right thing, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally agreed.

"In addition, this matter may be a scandal that no one wants to see." Wang Xian said slowly: "How exactly it will be dealt with depends on the top, so Brother Zhao must not make a noise." "Don't say it, don't say it, or say everything......

"Of course." Zhao Xiancheng nodded again and again: "I know how to be measured." ”

"Okay, brother, I'm waiting for your good news" Wang Xian cheered him up: "Don't worry about it, our backer is very hard"

Zhao Xiancheng nodded like pecking rice, and after talking for a while, he said goodbye and returned to the ya.

Later generations thought that in the back office of the county government, only the whole family of the county magistrate lived, which was actually wrong. Just like there are county officials and master bookkeepers in the front office, and there are also county officials and master bookkeepers in the back office. The three families are actually neighbors, sometimes Jiang Zhixian is at home, and he is beaten by his wife, Zhao Xiancheng and Ji Zhubo can hear it clearly.

Zhao Xiancheng had just returned home here, and the magistrate of Jiang Zhixian came over casually to invite him, he was not surprised by this, and he didn't need to change his clothes, so he followed the chief to the magistrate's house next door.

Since he knew that Wang Xian did not go to his appointment, but immediately met Zhao Xiancheng, Jiang Zhixian has been uneasy, and when he saw him come in and split his head, he asked, "What did Wang Xian tell you?" After speaking, he also felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "I am worried now, so don't worry about me." ”

"I can't say anything about this...... "The relationship between Zhao Xiancheng and Jiang Zhixian is obviously not as bad as outsiders think, at least they can still be instructed by him. This visit to Wang Xian was entrusted by Jiang County. But after Zhao Xiancheng came back, his attitude was obviously a lot colder: "The eldest master still goes in person, beg for mercy, maybe there is still a way out." ”

Zhao Xiancheng was convinced of Wang Xian's words, and Jiang Zhixian was convinced of his words, and when he heard this, his old face turned pale and said: "You just say it clearly."

"He won't let me say, you better go see him by yourself." Zhao Xiancheng said with a straight face: "As soon as possible, it's too late."

Jiang Zhixian was so frightened that he was stunned, and after all, he didn't ask a Ding Mao, and after he went back, he lost his soul and was restless, so he easily survived until dark, quickly changed into civilian clothes, sat on a sedan chair, and went to visit the evil star in person.
