Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A good public trial turned into a victory conference, and the county government hall also turned into a celebration venue.

    That magistrate Zhang is indeed a powerful person who can be the magistrate of Jingjing County in Nanjing.  Almost in an instant, he adjusted his mood, stood up, supported the big case and walked down the hall, congratulating the three new imperial examination candidates with a smile on his face.

    "Today in the lobby, three candidates were selected in succession. This is indeed a good story in this county. It shows that the cultural fortune of the country is prosperous, and our Shangyuan County is auspicious!" At this moment, Zhang Zhixian's face was full of joy, and he regarded the three candidates as precious guests.  There was no hint of hostility in his words and deeds.  "I will definitely inform the imperial court and set up a stele to commemorate this matter and encourage my Shangyuan students to make progress!"

    After saying that, he enthusiastically invited the three new imperial examiners and Zhao Hao and others to have tea in the flower hall, and then called the distraught Liu Yuanwai into his signing room.

    "There's nothing you can do about this matter." Zhang Zhixian didn't say well to Liu Yuanwai who pressed him on the stove.  "Time is also destiny, just accept it."

    "I, I can't swallow this breath" Liu Yuanwai was actually scared, but he was the president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce and the second-largest figure in the Dongting Merchant Gang. When had he ever suffered such a loss?

    How should he face those fellow Chamber of Commerce fellows who are waiting for his triumphant return?

    "You have to swallow even if you can't!" Zhang Zhixian, however, patted the table and pointed at the flower hall not far away and said: "Three people were elected at once! If I dare to favor you now, I will eat it at the Luming Banquet."  You can¡¯t walk around in circles. Maybe you¡¯ll even lose the Wusha!¡±

    The Luming Banquet is a celebration banquet held by local governments after the Autumn Period for newly promoted candidates and examiners.  Among them, the Lu Ming Banquet of Yingtian Mansion is of the highest standard. In addition to Yingtian Mansion Yin, Tixue Yushi, as well as the chief and deputy chief examiners and co-examiners, even the big bosses from various ministries will participate.

    There is no other way, who will let the officials in Nanjing take their time?  We should get together every chance we get.

    At the Luming Banquet, Magistrate Zhang would also congratulate Shangyuan County on behalf of Shangyuan County. If the three ministers were to attack together, he would really be unable to resist.  What's more, the family backgrounds of Jie Yuan and Ya Kui are so appalling. It's impossible to say that there are some uncles and elders present, and no matter how polite they are to help them, they, a small sesame official in Zhangzhi County, will have to shed their skin even if they don't die!

    This is the tragedy of being a county magistrate in Nanjing. There are too many mothers-in-law and it is difficult to be a daughter-in-law

    Zhang Zhixian felt sorry for himself for a while, then softened his tone and persuaded: "You know who is going to handle this matter. Even if I want to make a strong order, I have to withstand a retrial from above! I have no ability.  Just cover the lid, Yuan Liu, don't force it."

    "Alas" Liu Yuanwai looked at the cracks in the bricks on the ground dejectedly for a while. How could he sit in this seat and not know the importance?  Fang Se said: "I withdraw the lawsuit."

    "That's right!" Zhang Zhixian immediately smiled, stood up and escorted him out of the county office: "You businessmen, don't you pay attention to harmony to make money? Don't have meaningless disputes. Victory and defeat are common matters in the military, and losing in the shopping mall  If you lose it, you can win it back in the mall."

    "Okay." Liu Yuanwai seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and walked out of the county office in despair, without asking for the two thousand taels of deposit back.

    Because he knows that if a meat bun beats a dog, how can it make sense to come back?

    ??~~

    Over there, Magistrate Zhang persuaded Yuan Liu to leave, his steps became lighter and lighter, and he walked into the flower hall rubbing his hands.

    Then I saw several people from the Zhao Mansion sitting or standing, with their faces dancing and dancing.

    Zhang Zhixian saw at a glance that only Zhao Hao and his son were sitting there, while the other three were standing aside.

    Tang Youde was just a businessman, but Xinke Xieyuan and Yakui, two young masters from aristocratic families, actually stood on the left and right next to the Huangkou boy, vying to flatter him.

    This made Zhang Zhixian puzzled, but at this moment, it was obviously not the time to think about this. The right thing to do was to repair the relationship with the Zhao family quickly.

    Thinking of this, he put on his most sincere smile, walked in and said, "Gentlemen, please be polite."

    Seeing the respect of the county in the dignitaries, such a discount, how good the three new imperialists are?  He hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists to return the salute, saying, "I don't dare to act like Mr. Shi. I have seen my seniors in my late life."

    "You and I are really kind brothers." But I heard Zhang Zhixian say affectionately: "The examiner of your subject, Wang Nanchang, was the director of Brother Yu when he was in the capital"

    "That's really a worldly brother." The three of them met Zhang Zhixian again.

    "Zhao Hao looked at him from the side and got goosebumps all over his body. All these twists and turns can lead to connections, which is really hard for the old county magistrate.

    ¡°But when it was Zhao Hao¡¯s turn next, the old county magistrate was embarrassed

    Normally, if he recognizes his brother, he should perform the junior ceremony to his master.  Fortunately, the other party is the son of another brother, so they are evenly matched inside and out.

      In the end, everyone decided to be friends with each other. Zhao Hao called him "Old Senior" and he called Zhao Hao "Friend Zhao"

    After being polite, everyone sat down again, and Magistrate Zhang told the story of how he had persuaded Yuan Liu to quit. Naturally, he added some exaggeration and braggadocio.

    "Then I have to thank the old man for dealing with it impartially." Zhao Hao would not be so stupid as to vent his anger on a county leader Caijiaxiang and Xiaocangshan are both under his rule.  Then he reciprocated the favor with a smile: "As senior citizens, we naturally obey orders."

    Zhang Zhixian said in his heart, this is not the time for you to hide in the mountains and not come out.  But he was so happy that he got down the slope and said with a smile: "I was supposed to hold a banquet to celebrate the three world brothers, but I want to come to your mansion and wait to go back to celebrate. Brother Yu will not force others to do it. It is better to prepare wine and host the banquet another day.  "

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?

    Looking at the twenty-two pieces of official silver ingots, there are ten in one plate, but Zhao Hao has lost the joy he once had.

    Thinking back to the time when two taels of silver were enough to make a fortune, it was only half a year ago.

    ¡°Alas, diminishing marginal benefits are so terrible

    ????????????????? But this is a normal exchange of favors. If you don't accept it, it will be unkind, and it will damage the relationship.

    Zhao Hao stood up and smiled, and everyone said goodbye and went out.

    Magistrate Zhang sent them to the gate of the county government office before reluctantly waving goodbye.

    ¡°I will definitely come again!¡±

    ??~~

    There were crowds of people outside the county government office, and the people wanted to see who Xinke Jieyuan was.  As soon as they saw Zhao Hao and others coming out, they pushed forward with all their strength.

    Fortunately, the men in Caijiaxiang were powerful and majestic. They had already lined up in two rows, hand in hand, forming two human walls from the yamen entrance to the screen wall.  The people watching the excitement were kept outside.

    Under the wall of Zhaobi, four large sedan chairs had been prepared. Dozens of strong men were dressed in new clothes. Some were holding gongs, while others were holding Jie Yuan and Ya Yuan plaques, waiting for them to come out excitedly.

    As soon as they saw the four people coming out, the bearers immediately opened the sedan curtain and respectfully invited the three masters to get on the sedan.  Zhao Hao originally planned to ride in the carriage with Fatty Tang, but the students forced him into the second sedan chair and refused to let him out.

    Zhao Hao sat happily in the four-carriage sedan, with his father's sedan in front leading the way, and two students' sedans escorting him behind. He felt as if he was satisfied, and felt that the hard work of the past six months was all worth it.  !
