Chapter 54 The County Master

Since Noble went to his hometown crying, Xu Hao must go to the outer courtyard every day to listen to the reports of the three housekeepers, take care of foreign affairs in a proper manner, and increasingly favor in front of the old lady, everyone sees it in their eyes, and knows that he is no longer the most useless third young master in the past.

From time to time, some family members try to find a way, take favors, and try to let their own kid be a cronie for Xu Hao, from the three wives to the housekeeper, and report a bunch of names.

Xu Hao was annoyed at first, but then gradually figured it out, he was still thinking about revenge for the eldest prince Cao, and he needed a thug! He summoned more than a dozen teenagers in the martial arts training ground, and those who were not born in the family were eliminated, and the thin ones were eliminated, leaving ten people to invite the old guards of the family to serve as masters and train them in riding and archery martial arts.

After taking revenge, these ten people will be responsible for escorting the cargo ship in the future, killing two birds with one stone. Practicing martial arts is a very hard thing, and practicing three times in winter and three times in summer is not an overnight effort. Xu Hao didn't expect to train a group of heroes, and he was probably able to be flexible and proficient in bows and horses.

The so-called martial arts schools pay attention to the battle between people, which is the usual way of fighting in the green forest of the market, and the Xu family guards pay attention to not being afraid of death, cooperate with each other, and obey orders, which is the experience gained on the battlefield, and there is no doubt that Xu Hao's appetite is more in comparison.

When he was idle, Xu Hao also practiced equestrianism, opened the bow and shot arrows, and practiced his fist and foot reactions. Sometimes when I'm tired of reading, I change a military book or something, in short, it is the nature of playing tickets, he is not naΓ―ve enough to break through the limits of the human body, and he can easily bring down a group of people with one hundred.

On this day, the chief housekeeper Wang Fu hurriedly came over, saying that Jiang Song led his disciples to fight a lawsuit with his neighbor Liu Laoshi, and as mentioned earlier, Jiang Song planted a tree and took the opportunity to occupy the neighbor's land, and later built two houses next to the boundary wall between the two sides. This time, he had to make an inch, and he wanted to tear down the wall again and change it into the alley of his house, and now Liu Laoshi quit, Jiang Song beat a rake, and went to the county government to hand over the appeal first.

The county magistrate at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet didn't say anything else, his work attitude was absolutely serious, and he didn't need any gong to open the third class of officials, and he came on a donkey.

On a cold day, the county magistrate who was born as a scholar was choked enough, and the village chief hurriedly took people home, served them with good food and drink, and sent people to invite the respected old man in the village to participate in the case. And the Xu family, as the most prestigious family in the local area, naturally cannot be left behind.

Xu Hao shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Everyone knows what kind of person Jiang Song is, he relies on Xiucai's identity as a villain to sue first, as long as the county master is not confused, he will lose the lawsuit, what should I do?" Are you still fighting for the tiger? Besides, I'm a white ding, and I have to kowtow to others when I go, so I won't go. ”

Wang Fu said with a smile: "The county prince doesn't need to kowtow outside, Jiang Song doesn't talk about him, the old slave means that the young master is going to meet this adult, it is said that he is a scholar in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, and a great talent who is deeply appreciated by the saint." ”

If he is talented, has good calligraphy, and is specially promoted to be responsible for drafting the edict, he is a close minister of the emperor, and he can get close to the emperor at the beginning of his career, and it is easy to become a confidant courtier, and most of his future is limitless.

Xu Hao knew that this was a good opportunity, but he was young and his literary skills were average, so he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get into the eyes of others, so he simply played some tricks.

At that moment, he picked up the pen and waved it on a piece of white paper, dried and folded the ink, handed it to Wang Fu and said: "You just say that the Xu family and Jiang Song are related to each other, so you can avoid suspicion, and give this paper to the county master." ”

Wang Fu shook his head, turned around and went out, went to the governor's house, and respectfully handed the paper ball to the county master who was sitting at the top, explaining the reason.

This county prince is so young, Wang Fu was surprised in his heart, he looked like he was only in his early twenties, and secretly said that this is a prodigy who is passed on by word of mouth? Look at the high school gold list when they were teenagers, and they also did a great talent of Jijishi.

The young county magistrate looked very easy-going, and unfolded the paper ball with a smile in public, and saw that it was a dragon flying and phoenix dancing with the word "gong", and suddenly understood in his heart, and asked: "Xia Guan understands, may I ask the name of your son-in-law, what is his identity?" ”

Wang Fu became more and more respectful, bowed his head and said: "Back to the county duke, the son's surname is Xu Dan and his name is Hao, and he has not yet spoken before the weak crown, and he has never tried the township test." ”

"Oh." The county magistrate said with interest: "This word is written in an eclectic manner, as the saying goes, seeing words is like seeing people, your son-in-law should be a talented person, can you plan to take the township test this year?" ”

"That's the plan." Wang Fu nodded.

At this time, the chief interjected: "The son of the Xu family is the son of the Duke of Wei, and he is the son of the general. ”

The county magistrate was suddenly in awe and said: "It turns out that after the meritorious service, it is no wonder that the pen is strong, it seems that the noble son must be both civil and military." ”

Wang Fu had the heart to say good things for his young master, and immediately smiled: "As the county prince said, my son-in-law practices martial arts diligently during the day, and reads by candle at night, without interruption for a day. ”

"Well, he will be a pillar of the country in the future." The county magistrate admired it greatly, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from everyone, the official's favorite is the wild grass, and your son-in-law is the same interest. ”

Wang Fu smiled happily, and when he went out, he even ran to say hello to the old lady. Here, the county magistrate asked Jiang Song and Liu Laoshi, who had been waiting for a long time, to bring them up at the same time, and asked, "You show me the foundation of the house." ”

Liu Laoshi is 20 years old this year, his father has passed away, his widowed mother is in bed all the year round, and the doctor said that he will not live long.

As his name suggests, Liu Laoshi immediately squatted on the ground and drew a figure with his hands, explaining: "His house was originally two main rooms and two east wings, and then two rooms were built in the south as study rooms, and the west side is next to the narrow terrain of my courtyard wall. Therefore, in the early years, he deliberately planted a tree, and when the tree grew up, he said that the branch should be his family, and he forcibly demolished the courtyard wall to occupy my family's land for no reason. ”

Jiang Song bowed to the county magistrate and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, this wall is a wall for the living, and there are three steps of foundation behind it, as evidenced by documents." He is an honest deceitful, and he has lost his conscience. ”

The county magistrate looked down with a smile and said with a smile: "No wonder you demolished the wall and moved it to his house. It should have fulfilled your idea, but people will not follow it. ”

Jiang Song ignored his age and said with a smile: "There is a respected teacher, how dare he not follow?" ”

"It stands to reason that the same people are from the Shilin and can fulfill you." After speaking, the county master raised his hand and pointed to his chest, "But it doesn't follow, you are a gentleman, what about your apprentices?" Why don't you fight for you, the teacher? ”

Jiang Song immediately said: "It's all outside, there are a lot of them." ”

"No need to scream." The county magistrate's expression changed, and he said: "You deceived the neighbor's women and children, and you took the lead in clamping, and you didn't particularly recognize the wall as your own, and there was still room for slandering the west of the wall." But I don't know that before your house was lived, I don't know how many people and how many generations in that house, leaving this defect to wait for the vain desire of death? Gather the people, who will believe the kind words of the lonely widow and widow?

If there is no bad student, the law should be deposed, and the twenty-five boards of the school will be punished, and the West House will be demolished when escorted home, and the original wall will be returned to the neighbor for collection. If not, the annual examination will be sent to the inferior Jane. The rest is free! ”

After finishing speaking, the county magistrate picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the trial form, and asked while writing: "This official has finished the sentence, are you guilty?" ”

Jiang Song saw that the county princess was in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't give himself a little face, and it was not difficult to find out the original foundation if he really wanted to check the file, so he said dejectedly: "Sect Master Meng is clearly decided, and the students dare not say anything more." ”

The county master nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you know the matter, spare you to punish Midaiban, and go to school to admit the punishment quickly." ”

How did the newly appointed county magistrate know that Jiang Song, who happily accepted punishment, was actually a scoundrel? After handling the case simply and clearly, another person rode back to the official office on a donkey.

As soon as the others left, Jiang Song immediately shouted to the chief: "I admit the punishment, I just ask Liu Laoshi to continue to lend me the wall, how can I say that the house will be demolished?" ”

The lieutenant quickly cleared up: "I don't count what I said about this, you all go to the Xu family." ”

Jiang Song was proud in his heart, and took Liu Laoshi's hand and said, "Go." ”

A group of people pulled and pulled to the door of Xu's house, and the family hurriedly reported Xu Hao, who was in a good mood, Xu Hao walked out and listened to the cause and effect, and said: "Bring me the trial slip and I'll take a look." ”

Jiang Song held his own identity with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and a disciple handed it over, Xu Hao took it and took a look, his eyes lit up, and he secretly said that this hand is really amazing, no wonder he hit it by mistake and got a lottery.

After admiring it for a while, Xu Hao raised his head and frowned: "Master Jiang, you can be regarded as pleading for mercy, but you have sued the official, this love is gone, and only the law remains." You are a showman, who in the village would dare to entangle with you? The county magistrate has long expected it, you look at this writing clearly, you must enforce the law impartially, I don't dare to disobey it. ”

After speaking, Xu Hao sighed: "Alas! It seems that the house has to be demolished, otherwise it will not be able to make a difference. ”

Jiang Song was annoyed when he heard this, he was not good at Xu Hao, and he was about to laugh at Liu Laoshi when he raised his hand, Xu Hao quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Song's arm, and deliberately smiled: "Jiang Shi is a Sven person, and he is not easy to be rude." ”

It's not that Xu Hao is a nest, he really doesn't dare to do anything to Jiang Song, if Bai Ding beats up a dignified talent, it will be a big crime. Even with his identity, at least he has to pull out his pants in public in the yamen and get a board, the beating is small, and he can't afford to lose that person.

Those disciples have gossip about Liu Laoshi, and they come as soon as they open their mouths with foul language, they don't have the identity of a showman, and they don't dare to beat people in front of everyone.

Xu Hao had the heart to fix Jiang Song, and immediately said loudly: "Don't quarrel, the county official ordered Master Jiang to go to school to receive the punishment, and if you go late, you have to add it again, you should hurry up and go with you, and help the teacher intercede together, maybe this matter is still going to turn around." ”

As soon as the disciples and Jiang Song heard that they were good, they were about to leave, and Xu Hao instructed his family to send two carriages to send them to the county together. Jiang Song knew that Liu was honest, and he would definitely not dare to make any moves, so he left with confidence.

Xu Hao glanced at Liu Laoshi and turned around and entered the house, Liu Laoshi stood alone for a long time, sighed and walked home. Unexpectedly, halfway down the road, he saw more than a dozen figures running towards his house quickly.
