Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the yamen hall of Shangyuan County, the eldest master Zhang Dongguan was hugging him from left to right.

    One concubine peeled open the newly arrived Yangzhou crabs and dug out the crab roe with a silver spoon to feed him. The other concubine would pick up the wine glass from time to time and feed him a sip of her daughter's red.

    ¡°Jinling is so playful, it¡¯s only the son of a bitch who returns to Sichuan to play tricks.  ¡¯

    Zhang Zhixian was extremely happy, and a local accent came to his mind.

    Unexpectedly, at this time, the frustrated disciple came in and presented a gilded silk-covered greeting card saying: "Sir, Mr. Liu is asking to see you."

    "What's wrong with Liu Yuanwai? I don't know how many people with the surname Liu in Jinling City are verbose." Zhang Zhixian accidentally said a sentence with a local accent, quickly picked up the napkin, covered his mouth and coughed twice, then said in Nanjing Mandarin: "Although I, sir,  He¡¯s a doormat, but how dare a mere district member interrupt my meal?¡±

    "It's Liu Yuanwai from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce." Menzi hurriedly added.

    "Oh, I'm a distinguished guest." Zhang Zhixian immediately changed his expression, pinched his concubine's tender tofu-like cheeks, stood up and said, "Change your clothes and meet the guests in the main hall."

    The Dongting Merchant Gang is extremely powerful and can speak volumes in both the northern and southern capitals. It is not something that a small magistrate like him dares to offend.

    ??~~

    After a while, Zhang Zhixian hurriedly came out to meet Liu Yuanwai.

    After some pleasantries, the latter explained his intention.

    Of course, it is inevitable to describe himself as a poor victim, as if he, the dignified second-in-command of the Dongting Merchant Gang, is a little white rabbit who has been persecuted.

    "That's it." When Magistrate Zhang heard the defendant's name, he rubbed his fingers with a grimace and said, "I have seen Tang Youde in this county too. He has the same crown and belt as your honor. This county can only pass him on."  You can¡¯t arrest him.¡±

    A few years ago, in order to raise money and food to fight against the Japanese, the Nanjing official department issued thousands of official notices at one go. No matter where you were from, as long as you donated enough money, you would be granted the title of Justice and a crown.  Zhang Yuanwai from Dehengdang and Liu Yuanwai from Suzhou Chamber of Commerce both bought the right to become a prostitute from the fifth-grade Yuanwai Lang.

    Although they can't really be officials, with this crown, they can interact with officials on an equal footing.

    A chicken thief like Tang Youde would not let go of such a rare opportunity. He also tried his best to buy the official crown and belt of Xielu Lang of Taichang Temple, the eighth rank.  Although the eighth-grade official is inconspicuous, what he needs to be prepared for is at this moment, so that he will not be ruined by a small county magistrate.

    "Let's let the one named Tang go for now" Liu Yuanwai said with a dark face: "The boy named Zhao is white, let's operate on him first."

    "Mr. Zhao has become quite famous recently. Even the young master was defeated by him last time." I heard Zhang Zhixian shirk again.

    "Don't worry, parents. I have already investigated clearly. The young master relied on the help of his cheap brother Zhao Jin for the previous matter." Liu Yuanwai explained hurriedly: "At that time, Zhao Jin was the censor of Nanjing and really wanted to go against Wei Guogong.  Although it won't hurt the fundamentals of my husband, it will still be too much trouble, so I gave in. As for the visit to apologize, it's just a rumor and an exaggeration. "

    "Oh, really?" Zhang Zhixian seemed to have itchy fingers, but he kept rubbing his thumb with his index finger and middle finger.

    "Yes. And Zhao Jin has been transferred to Hebei to raise horses. What else do you have to worry about?" Liu Yuanwai advised again, and then gritted his teeth and said clearly: "Besides, I am not suing him for money.  I just want justice! Therefore, if you help me recover all the losses, I am willing to give 5,000 taels to the county to help students!"

    "Hiss" Zhang Zhixian changed his position and rubbed his fingers, which was to settle accounts.

    After a brief calculation, he laughed dryly and said: "The entire county school needs to be renovated. I'm afraid five thousand taels is not enough. At least three thousand taels are needed."

    "Okay, but you have to make me vent my anger." Liu Yuanwai nodded heavily.

    "Sure, please pay a deposit of two thousand taels firstoh no, a scholarship." Zhang Zhixian's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum and said: "This county will issue a ticket to arrest the person immediately!"

    "Deal!" Liu Yuanwai seemed to be extremely angry.

    After accepting two thousand taels of votes, Zhang Zhixian finally got a guaranteed vote with a smile on his face.

    After seeing off Mr. Liu, he asked someone to call Li Jiutian.

    Zaoli was going to live in the county government office, so Li Jiutian came over quickly to sign the deposit and knelt down to obey his orders.

    Zhang Zhixian sat behind the desk and handed him a ticket with still wet ink on it and said: "Take the person in charge and lock him in the prison cell for a few days before appearing in court."

    "I obey, sir!" Li Jiutian was overjoyed when he heard this.  Whether or not there is a ticket card is a huge difference to the subordinate staff!  If you are doing official business on behalf of the county, it is not against the law to kill someone; if you are disturbing the people privately, it is not against the law to be killed

    He hurriedly stepped forward and took the ticket with both hands, wanting to see how much fat the fat sheep on it had.?

    "Ah, Zhao Hao from Caijiaxiang?!" Who knew that after just one glance, he almost lost his mind and said:

    "You don't dare to mess with that living Tai Sui. He even dares to beat the young master's people"

    "Presumptuous!" Zhang Zhixian slammed the table and cursed angrily: "You unruly and unruly official, is this your place to bargain? If you can't get anyone, just wait for the consequences!"

    "Oh, it's" Li Jiu dared to disobey the elder's order, so he had to hold the life-threatening ticket and retreat with a sad face.

    ??~~

    That night, Li Jiutian was so worried that he didn't sleep all night.

    Early the next morning, he changed into casual clothes and went to Caijia Lane alone without Bai Yi to explore.

    He was unexpectedly slapped on the back, which frightened him so much that he almost sat down on the ground.

    "Jiutian, what are you planning?" But he saw Yu Jiachang standing behind him with a strange look on his face.

    "It scared me to death" Li Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Chief A, are you at home?"

    "Young Master went out to escape the summer heat, and I haven't seen anyone for several days." Chief Yu looked at Li Jiutian alertly and said, "What do you want to see Young Master for?"

    "I have something to discuss with him" Li Jiutian felt relieved when he heard that Zhao Hao was not at home, so he smiled apologetically to Chief Yu and said, "The same goes for discussing with you."

    Then he took Yu Jia to a quiet place and explained everything about last night.

    "Of course I don't dare to restrain the young master and go to the prison, but my arms can't hold my thighs. The eldest master has spoken, what should I do?" Seeing Yu Jia's face turned dark, Li Jiutian took it out first, and then cautiously suggested:  "My eldest master is famous for being reasonable. The young master is now rich. If you go to reason with him personally, or ask the younger one to pass on a message, you should be able to reduce the big problem to the trivial matter."

    "It's not something I can decide." Yu Jia said with a long snort: "I'll tell someone to report this to you later. Just wait for the answer."

    "Okay, please do it as soon as possible." Li Jiutian begged with a sad face: "In four days at most, I will be eaten"

    ??~~

    Deep in Xiaocang Mountain, there is a Lotus Lake. At this time, Zhao Hao is wearing a bamboo hat and competing with two apprentices for fishing.

    Wu Yu came over, leaned in his ear, and reported what Yu Jia Chang said to Zhao Hao.

    "Let Chief Yu tell Li Jiutian that I will show up on September 18th, and I won't go a day earlier."

    "Master, don't pay attention." Hua Shuyang smiled and said, "Someone sued our Hua family ten years ago. The county magistrate has been changed three times, but there has been no trial."

    "That's right, he didn't kill anyone or set fire, so what should he do?" Wang Wuyang also said indifferently: "In Taicang, official officials always go around us."

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll count you guys as awesome.¡±

    Zhao Hao laughed and suddenly saw the fish float shaking violently, so he lifted the fishing rod gracefully and threw a three-pound big carp onto the shore.

    ¡°He really stayed motionless in Xiaocang Mountain, ignoring no matter how summoned by the county.
