When Zhang Xiaogang walked out of the county office, his face was smiling like a flower. When the squires saw it, they both despised and envied him. Lao Zhang usually looks well-behaved, with a little bit of a donkey temper, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he was the first in Danyang County to hug the county magistrate's golden thigh.
"From the merits of the dragon." The gentry understood that the local emperor was also a dragon, and with the credit of being the first to seek refuge, promotion and fortune are guaranteed. "The leading party is easy to get rich." History has proved the correctness of this sentence.
"Old Zhang, where are you going?" A group of country gentry called to stop Zhang Xiaogang.
"Go and prepare a generous gift for the county magistrate." Zhang Xiaogang didn't think about hiding anything. A group of country gentry looked at Zhang Xiaogang in astonishment, and asked cautiously: "Have you figured out her temper?" Giving gifts is an easy but dangerous thing. It's easy to blacklist yourself and then the litany of "duty to serve the county".
Zhang Xiaogang couldn't help laughing, "I know the reason, but I won't tell you." Regarding this naive behavior, a group of gentry smiled and grabbed Zhang Xiaogang's arm: "Come on, let's go have a drink."
After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xiaogang's mouth was pried open. "Tell you a big secret." A group of squires smiled, waiting for this secret for too long.
"What secret?" Everyone continued to ask in cooperation.
"The county magistrate bought 10,000 mu of fertile land." Zhang Xiaogang whispered. A group of country gentry were stunned, overjoyed: "Really?" Zhang Xiaogang nodded: "There is no doubt about it."
"One more drink!" A group of gentry laughed as if they were celebrating the New Year, toasting to celebrate.
The county magistrate Hu bought 10,000 mu of fertile land, which has become a weathervane for the landlords and gentlemen in Danyang County. Hu Xueting set a 10% rent, and they also set a 10% rent. If Hu Xueting dared to set a 10% rent, they gritted their teeth and charged 10% as well. It can't be the same rent as the county magistrate, the county magistrate is fine, how many of them are Zhou's pickpockets, right?
And thinking about it in depth, the news that the county magistrate bought ten thousand acres of fertile land has countless things to ponder. The price of the land, or the source of the silver, or the source of the land, these things must never be pondered over. Whoever ponders it is provoking County Magistrate Hu and will die. But just the act of buying land can be carefully considered.
The fields that had just been ransacked and confiscated were bought by the county magistrate without any publicity.
"As long as County Magistrate Hu is not a saint, we will have nothing to worry about." A group of gentry were overjoyed and feared for a long time. It turns out that County Magistrate Hu is his own, so there is no need to be afraid. Giving gifts, flattering, doing what he likes, who is not good at using skills.
"I thought going to the county to work as an errand would be a dead end. The suicide note has been written." A certain squire put down his wine glass heavily. At that time, he was so frightened that he burst into tears. Going out, only the head is ready to go home at night.
"From now on, it's time for us to be proud." Another squire laughed. Although being a petty official has its hardships, he did errands for a while, established a good relationship with the county magistrate, and retired. It is still a very cost-effective deal to go home and continue to be a master.
"You have to think about it carefully, what kind of gift should you give the county magistrate." Another person said.
That night, Hu Xueting received gifts in large and small packages, including gold and silver jewelry, emerald antiques, and more.
"This is a gift to celebrate the county magistrate's appointment." A group of country gentry and petty officials said respectfully, looking at Hu Xueting's calm face, he felt that it might be a flattery. Even Zhang Xiaogang was a little surprised.
Hu Xueting pondered for a long time, accepting a gift, if he doesn't return the gift, it would be outrageous. "That so-and-so, take out the most beloved baby of the girl I love the most, one for each, as a gift in return."
A group of squires shook their heads hastily, how can they win people's love, this is not very good.
Nanny Wang came out with a few yamen servants, each with a bunch of chicks in their hands. "This is my sister's beloved item, so you must cherish it."
A group of squires nodded vigorously, and turned around to be overwhelmed by a bowl of chicken and mushroom soup worth hundreds of gold.
"Master will buy you more chicks." Shi Jie hugged Xiao Xuelan from behind, coaxing earnestly. Xiao Xuelan waved her hand, not caring at all: "Master, I want to buy a pony."
This is absolutely not acceptable, I will kill you!
"I want it! I want it!" Xiaoxuelan is a real brat
"That's it, that's it." Yang Xuangan bowed his hands and said goodbye. Zhang Zhenzhou saw off the guests with a smile. He had heard for a long time that Hu Xueting belonged to Yang Xuangan's direct lineage. When we met today, it was indeed so.
Yang Xuan arrived in a hurry; Xie Chenglin stared at Hu Xueting, you are crazy! Even if it is an on-site test, you should say that you pour soup on your head, or scold those officials, or even lick your shoes. pass!
Hu Xueting kept urging him: "Hurry up, what if those people run away? Hack those who stand far away first, and then chop down those who are closer."
Xie Chenglin turned around slowly, and at a glance, the farthest one was Zhang Zhenzhou. Zhang Zhenzhou looked at Xie Chenglin with a smile, but dozens of guards put their hands on the hilt of the knife. If Xie Chenglin really drew his sword out of anger for love, he would immediately cut it into seventeen or eighth sections.
A group of officials gritted their teeth hard and looked at Xie Chenglin seriously, telling you to be so careful! deserve it!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Xie Chenglin's mind, and he sighed sadly: "Could it be that Magistrate Hu doesn't believe my sincerity?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" Hu Xueting said without hesitation. Xie Chenglin was dumbfounded. Normally at this time, shouldn't you rush to say the letter?
"You go and chop him up, and I'll believe it." Hu Xueting continued to urge, and he didn't need you to cook something that can be done in a second with a knife, but he hesitated for so long, is he still a man?
Xie Chenglin got it, damn it, when he met a smart person, he had already seen through his intentions. Then there is no need to act, and the flesh must be cut immediately. He bowed deeply and apologized: "I made a mistake, please also invite Hu County Magistrate Haihan."
Hu Xueting blinked: "Are you a fool?"
Mao mean?
"Whoever dares to play the role of the official, is there any one who retreats?" Hu Xueting said, and a group of officials in the hall immediately remembered what Hu Xueting did in Luoyang and Danyang, and they felt chills all over their bodies.
A group of guards stood in front of Zhang Zhenzhou in an instant. Is this going to splatter the governor's mansion with blood?
Zhang Zhenzhou calmly pushed away a group of guards and stared hard at Hu Xueting.
Hu Xueting looked at Zhang Zhenzhou, blinked, and must show face. "Forget it, for Manager Zhang's face, capital punishment is inevitable, and living crime is inevitable. You can pay me five thousand taels for mental damage." He smiled at Zhang Zhenzhou vigorously. It's really because of your face not to beat him today. .
Zhang Zhenzhou stared at Hu Xueting with a blank expression on his face.
Xie Chenglin looked at Hu Xueting, then at Zhang Zhenzhou, and smiled: "Naturally, Director Zhang will preside over everything. Xie just said that he loves you, so what should he be guilty of?" What can be done.
Hu Xueting burst into tears, pointed at Xie Chenglin and said tremblingly: "You humiliated me, I don't want to live anymore!"
No one would believe such low-level acting skills.
Xie Chenglin became more calm, go to hell, I will never stop you.
Hu Xueting scrunched up his face, and said, "What is the crime for molesting a good woman in public and causing death? What crime should be for molesting a court official in public and causing death?"
Isn't it? Xie Chenglin opened his eyes wide.
"At the very least, it's going to be all over the house!" Hu Xueting said, with a serious and serious face.
A group of officials widened their eyes, Mao!
"However, for Mr. Zhang's sake, it's not appropriate to see blood today, so let's hit 500 slabs." Hu Xueting looked at Zhang Zhenzhou seriously, really looking at your face, turned around, and punched Xie Chenglin on the ground.
"Left and right, drag down and fight." Hu Xueting greeted the servants, and several servants and guards looked at Hu Xueting in shock, and then at Zhang Zhenzhou, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, I don't have any acquaintances, so I can't call anyone. Forget it, I will fight myself." Hu Xueting sighed, grabbed Xie Chenglin and beat him violently.
In the hall, a group of officials stared blankly, not knowing what to do. A group of guards stared into Zhang Zhenzhou's eyes, waiting for his order.
A smile appeared on Zhang Zhenzhou's face: "Hu Xueting, are you disrespecting the old man?"
