Originally, the county government was just a place to work, and as a county order, there should also be a mansion. But Zheng Yunzhi didn't, maybe he did, but he always lived in the county office.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially those in this period, were extremely strange. Most of the officials' homes are splendid, but the official offices such as the county government and the government office look dilapidated and decadent. I don't know if I don't have the money to repair it, or if I want to be a 'clean official'. But it was plain and lost the majesty of the country.

However, with the current situation of Ye County, if you want to renovate the county office, there is probably no such possibility.

Together with Zheng Wu, he went to the county office with a smile and a smile.

When I entered a side hall, I saw Zheng Yunzhi drinking morning tea.

"Ying Baihu is here? Sit, sit. ”

Zheng Yunzhi's enthusiasm made Ying Yi a little unbearable, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare." ”

After sitting down, Zheng Yunzhi said with a smile: "I never thought that I would win a hundred households and be invincible, and the county was happy in my heart." I heard that Ying Baihu is from Xiaowangzhuang?"

Ying Yi smiled: "Sort of." ”

"How do you say this?" Zheng Yunzhi was stunned and said strangely.

Ying Yi's expression was slightly constricted, and he said: "The county lord doesn't know, I settled in Xiaowangzhuang on the eve of autumn last year. ”

"Oh?" said Zheng Yunzhi, "What's going on?"

Ying Yi said: "The world is not good, and natural disasters have been going on for many years. I'm originally from Xiangyang, but... Alone, he was left near Xiaowangzhuang, almost starved to death, and was rescued by Brother Zhang. So he settled in Xiaowangzhuang and made a living from hunting. ”

"I see. Zheng Yunzhi listened to Yingyi's life experience, and couldn't help but be a little stunned: "The world is really bad, the people are displaced, and those of us who are officials have not done a good job." Then he lifted his spirits and said, "But this is only temporary, and when the rogues are exterminated, everything will be fine." ”

Ying Yi nodded, but shook her head again and again in her heart.

With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such possibility.

Of course, this cannot be said.

"I have been wandering for a long time, and during my settlement in Xiaowangzhuang, I deeply felt the kindness of Brother Zhang's family. Seeing Xiaowangzhuang secluded again, I planned to live peacefully in Xiaowangzhuang, but what expected... Huh!"

Speaking of this, Yingyi's expression was extremely heavy: "The genus of the rogue has lost his conscience." I only went into the mountains once, and when I came back, it was full of miserable conditions. The county honored, Brother Zhang and I saved his life, he was nailed to death at the entrance of the village, and he died without turning a blind eye! The little girl was only seven years old, and she was insulted and killed! The sister-in-law of the Zhang family also committed suicide. If I don't kill a tiger, what face will I have left between heaven and earth?!"

"It's my fault. ”

Zheng Yunzhi looked at Yingyi's reddened eyes and sighed again and again: "If I could send someone to move the people of Xiaowangzhuang into Fangcheng Mountain as soon as possible, there would be no such tragedy." ”

Ying Yi shook her head, feeling a little moved.

Said: "Xiaowangzhuang is not a village under the jurisdiction of Ye County, but Yuzhou. This matter has nothing to do with the county. ”

Xiaowangzhuang is indeed not a village under the jurisdiction of Ye County, Zheng Yunzhi relocated the people, and he can't control Yuzhou.

Zheng Yunzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Millions of thieves are ravaging Henan, and Yexian County is on the edge of Henan, and it will be the front line of thieves." Since I took office last year, I have tried every means to move the people out of fear that they will be poisoned by thieves. It's a shame that one of the Xinmu soldiers and horses under my command is from an Orion family, and he knows that there is a treasure land in Fangcheng Mountain, otherwise I would have no choice. ”

He also said: "You also know that military pay is a thing. As early as a few months ago, at the end of last year, someone in Jinyiwei came with news and told me to make preparations as soon as possible. This batch of military salaries is mainly for the vast number of troops in Hubei. You may know that Zuo Liangyu is a person, I am afraid that his army will come to Ye County and poison the people. ”

Hearing this, Ying Yi nodded, and couldn't help but feel tricky about the situation of this Zheng Xianzun.

He is just a county magistrate, and Zuo Liangyu and his ilk are beyond his reach. The only way to solve the evil is to move the people away.

I don't know how much effort he has put into it in the past few months to do this well.

In troubled times, people's minds change. And the heart remains the same, which is really worthy of admiration.

"The county is a good official. ”

Yingyi said sincerely.

Zheng Yunzhi shook his head gloomily: "I have been in the cold for ten years, and I am determined to make some achievements." But the world is difficult, and I have a county order, so what can I do..."

It's not a good thing to always say things that are upset. So then he talked about other things, all over the world, and what he thought of and what he said. Zheng Yunzhi found that Yingyi was even better than him. Many things that he didn't know came out of Yingyi's mouth, but the head was the way.

It made him affirm Yingyi's statement that he had been wandering for many years.

If you are not well-informed, you must not have so many opinions.

After chatting like this, it was noon.

I had another meal with Zheng Yunzhi, and I also met Zheng Yunzhi's family during the banquet.

Jung Yunzhi has a wife, a concubine, and two children. The eldest is a daughter, fourteen years old, everyone is beautiful, gentle and polite, bookish, and not bad looking, called Zi Niang. The youngest is a boy, only five years old, very naughty, named Zheng Yu, nicknamed Yu'er.

There was not much talk during the banquet, mainly in front of Zheng Yunzhi's family, and there were many rules, and after a meal, Yingyi was uncomfortable eating. After the meal, he confessed and walked away.

Returning to her accommodation, Yingyi let out a long breath. Sun Xiucai smiled and said, "What's the matter, is the food of the county family delicious?"

Ying Yi complained: "I don't eat well. ”

Sun Xiucai laughed: "There are many rules in the official eunuchs, and they want to eat happily, of course, they are not as good as their own families." ”

Ying Yi nodded thoughtfully, and said, "During the banquet, Zheng Xianzun asked me to supervise the soldiers and horses of this county, what do you think?"

"What?!" Sun Xiucai was taken aback: "So generous?!"

Yingyi's expression was calm: "It is indeed generous." It's a little embarrassing for me to calculate. ”

Sun Xiucai hesitated: "If it happens, Brother Ying, the county is a good official, you can't leave it alone." ”

Ying Yi nodded silently, the appearance of Zheng Yunzhi's family of five appeared in her eyes, and she sighed slightly in her heart.

He said: "I was originally going to chase and kill a tiger, but I didn't expect that by accident, I would come to this point, which is really unpredictable." When it's done, I don't know what to do next. ”

Sun Xiucai's eyes flashed: "Take one step at a time, and then we'll talk about it then." ”

Yingyi nodded.

He added: "The county asked me to see him again at night, and I thought that the previous guess might be that the matter might be coming." I thought about it on the way back, Ye County may be in danger, and I plan to send you and Erniu out. ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiucai shook his head: "Erniu can go, but I can't go." I'm too conspicuous to walk well. ”

Ying Yi frowned.

I heard Sun Xiucai say: "If you go, I'm afraid there will be a big war." I stayed in the county to respond, and it may not be useless at a critical time. ”

Ying Yi also knew that Sun Xiucai's words were right, but he said: "But there are many dangers..."

Sun Xiucai smiled freely: "I am just a showman, and it is enough to participate in such a big event." If I die, it's my bad luck. If you don't die, you will have a blessing. ”

Ying Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Well, so be it. ”
