Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 227 Prelude

This is a typical small inn in the Northland. In fact, the word inn is really wronged here. Although the low roof made of thick straw or yellow mud felt is good for keeping warm, it has a great impact on people. The lack of lighting makes the whole house look dark even in broad daylight, and the walls on all sides are all rammed with loess. Needless to say, they are strong, but they have nothing to do with their beauty.Rows of large stables are even bigger than the wine shop in front and the inn at the back combined, because one side of the stables shares a wall with the wine shop, so the whole wine shop always has a strange smell unique to the barn. .

This is a roadside shop with a front-four-back shop structure. Although it has an inn sign, it is no different from the big car shops that are popular in the Northland later. It is the largest one within [-] miles from Longmen County. A place for pedestrians to rest their feet.

The time has come to noon, but the white sun in the sky makes people feel no warmth at all. It is cold in winter and it is time to eat. The business in the restaurant with the hot cow dung fire is surprisingly good. On the way to the car, the mountain people who came in and out of the county crowded the whole wine shop. The warm, slightly fermented smell of the pressed wine mixed with the smell of the haggis soup and the cattle shed behind the wall, creating a unique atmosphere unique to the market. The noisy warmth in the room.

After the guests came in, without exception, they would first order a bowl of hot wine that was hot on the cow dung fire, even the women were no exception. After drinking a few sips of the muddy hot wine to warm their bodies, the guests stretched out their hands to wipe the wine After Dripping Mouth put his legs on the stool made of rough wood for comfort, he began to roast the cold and thick cakes as thick as bricks over the cow dung fire, and chatted about the contents while waiting for the haggis soup All-encompassing idle articles.

At this moment, the most talked about in the restaurant is the weather. This year's weather is really evil. Since September, except for a light rain like a hairy child's urine at the end of September, in fact, this kind of rain can't even cover the land. I can’t get wet. It’s been more than a month and I haven’t even seen a rain. It’s nothing if there is no rain. But the quilt was covered in snow in the wheat field.

There is no flat land in Longmen County, and those who point to slopes to eat are looking up at the sky. If the old man is unhappy, no one can do anything about it.

"Damn it, those older generations who live near us have started sewing old clothes together as if they had discussed it. Looking at the drought this year, the king of hell is going to pay a lot of people."

"It's not a big deal." The person who took over the conversation was a pedestrian with a whip in his arms, smacking a wine bowl, "When I passed by the Sun's shop in the city these two days, I saw the piles of three All the boards have been lifted, and the men are desperately working on thin-skinned coffins, and the sound of planing wood is horrifying. The elders have seen many things in the world, and I am afraid that they will not make it through next spring. up".

"Look at the current moisture content in the field, and use the words of the elders?".

This topic is really heavy. After hearing these people's answers, there was a moment of silence in the originally noisy restaurant.

At this moment, the thick curtain at the entrance of the restaurant was lifted, and a group of six or seven people came in one file at a time. The people inside turned their heads and took a look, and they knew that the newcomers must not be young like them. The family is suffering.The one walking in front is obviously a long attendant, just look at this long suit is wearing a good silk face gown, the young couple behind must be from a wealthy family, and look at their demeanor, Maybe these people came from Huairongzhou City in Guannei.But it's a pity that the bearded hat that the big lady is wearing is too annoying, and the swirling scarf completely covers the whole face, otherwise I really want to see what kind of daughter-in-law it is to be able to marry such a handsome man looks.

After a long follower, two young couples, three guards with knives and a pretty girl filed in, the wine shop that had suddenly quieted down became more and more quiet until Xiaoer who went up led them to the two rooms by the window. After the deputy head settled down and everyone else turned their heads back, the noisy discussion resumed in the restaurant.

"The sky is so dry, why haven't I seen someone invite the dragon?".

"Why not? Hundreds of village households in the Tutai area have jointly contributed money to burn incense and invite dragons as early as the beginning of the month, and there is not a single snowflake. Now all places are preparing for it. Just wait, it won't take long. You have to follow the wind," the man purposely looked around in the wine shop after he said this, and he said loudly after seeing that there were no Xi people in it: "Don't talk about us, even the Xi Manzi on the grassland can't stand it." Stay, I heard that Zheng sent people to Rao Le Xi Wang's tent to ask the god drum to pray for rain and snow."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng, who just sat down, moved his body, "It smells bad here, if you don't want to eat something, don't force it. After the wine we brought is hot, eat a few cups and rest before leaving." After holding Zheng Lingyi's hand and saying a few words with a smile, he turned his head and listened attentively to the discussion in the restaurant.

After the man had finished speaking just now, a younger farmer next to him said bitterly: "Since those Xi Manzis also suffered from drought, it's fine if I say there is no rain. We can find something to support us by relying on the mountains. They just live by the cattle and sheep. If there is no grass growing in the drought, even the cattle, sheep and people will starve to death. Just open your eyes and let it rain and snow after they are all starved to death, which can be regarded as helping us clean up this disaster.”

The words of the young farmer who drove the city attracted a lot of echoes in the wine shop, and quite a few people agreed loudly with a little alcohol, and said that the dragons should be invited later, at least by the time Xi Manzi starved to death Let's do it later, so as not to let them get the glory of our Dragon Lord.

Hearing the words of the young farmer, and then personally feeling the atmosphere in the wine shop, Tang Cheng, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but frowned tightly. Seeing this posture, after a long period of accumulation, the relationship between Tang Ren and Xi Ren in Longmen County The contradiction between them has actually deepened to the point where they cannot share the sky.

"Hey, that's a good idea, but it's a pity that we are all starved to death, and the savage is fine." The person who said this was an older middle-aged man by the fire pond, "The yamen must be able to release food in such a drought. You haven't seen it all these years." Enough? Didn’t they drive Xi people first when the food was released? Their little savages who are still as tall as horse whips all receive the same amount of food as our young men. Starve them to death? If we starve to death one of them, we will die three! Who can resist it? So, the rain should come sooner."

The words of the middle-aged man caused a lot of sighs in the wine shop, yes, they can't resist the Xi people, if it doesn't rain all the time, the king of Hades will have to pay more and the people of the Tang Dynasty will have to.

"Hey, I heard that there is a new county magistrate in the yamen. He is a Jinshi who has read a lot of books. Maybe he is different from other masters, so I can't say for sure." road.

"Fart, the yamen is safe, the cattle and sheep of Xi Manzi can climb trees." The middle-aged man sneered even louder, "These gentlemen are afraid that Xi Manzi will make trouble, as long as the barbarians don't make trouble, let them be All the grandchildren! So many masters who are not from the Tang Dynasty, and which one is sincerely toward the Tang people? The old ravens in the world are all black in general."

"Yeah, it's unreliable! Just like what this old man said, the new county magistrate is also a black old man. He started to renovate the county government office as soon as he took office. As soon as the incident happened, he ran faster than anyone else, and put the insignificant county captain in front of the vat, you said, how dare such a prodigal son who has no worries at all dare to rely on him?".

Although the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit gloomy, the words of the middle-aged man who scolded the yamen still caused everyone to burst into laughter. This kind of scene is normal in all parts of Longmen County. That group of trash can always reach consensus quickly.

Tang Cheng glanced at Lai Fu, Zheng Wu and others who were sitting on the other table, signaling them not to act rashly, then patted Zheng Lingyi's hand again, and took a drink from the cup in front of him.

Hot wine needs to be sipped in small sips. After pouring it down like this, the slightly hot wine juice burned from his throat to his stomach like fire. Tang Cheng's whole body trembled suddenly, and his face immediately turned red. Well, being an official at this point is really useless.

The discussion in the wine shop continued, "Where are you going? The Du family who was beaten this time is not a good idiot. Three of the four sons of the old Du family are butchers. They usually burn their hands if they don't mess with others." Gao Xiang, in the past, the yamen used to spend money to appease the problem, and the small family can still carry it? This time it's good, the Du family has let go, and it doesn't matter how much money the yamen gives. Don't think about it, you have to see the murderer to succeed. Now they are waiting for the new county magistrate to come back. If there is no further explanation, the four brothers will carry people to Huairong. If Huairong is not successful, everyone Look, well, this time there is a good show to watch."

"Yes, I've also heard that the butchers in Du's family were able to take pictures of their knives until they sharpened their knives, so they put basins on the door. Hu Lianghai was so frightened that he didn't dare to come to the door."

"Stubborn, good man", echoed loudly for a while, those people were praising the butcher brothers of the Du family while pouring wine into their mouths, the atmosphere in the restaurant that was still a little dull just now suddenly became hot.

Hearing this, Tang Cheng drank the full drink in front of him again, then stood up abruptly, "Let's go".

Walking out of the restaurant, Laifu approached Tang Cheng and pointed his finger backwards at the restaurant, "Senior officials, why don't you stay here first, and clarify the details of those weird words just now."

Hearing Laifu's words, Tang Chengcheng's unhappy face became more and more gloomy, "There are not many Tang people in Longmen County who have never scolded me, and they can arrest tens of thousands of people? What kind of skill is it to compete with them? Do you still think it's a good idea?" Have I been scolded enough?".

Lai Fu shrank his neck and backed up after hitting his nose, and then the carriage rattled away to Longmen County.

Along the way, Tang Cheng didn't speak again, and the carriage didn't stop, and he returned to the county just before dark.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Longmen Inn. After Tang Cheng helped Zheng Lingyi get off the carriage, he turned his head and told Laifu, "Go, tell the cabinet that the Accord official closest to the lobby has taken over."

"Oh", Laifu learned to be smart this time, and ran inside without asking any questions after agreeing.

After ordering Laifu, Tang Cheng turned around and called Zheng Wu to his side, "Go to the county government office and let Hu Lianghai and those other servants come over." Zheng Wu was about to leave after obeying the order, when Tang Cheng stopped He explained a few words.

"Husband, this is...".

"I want to treat you." Although Tang Cheng's face was the same as usual when he spoke to her, Zheng Lingyi suddenly felt a chill.

Before she could say anything else, Tang Cheng had already walked towards the inn, and said as he walked, "They are all a bunch of rough people, so don't go at night, so you can rest and tidy up your things. When I come back from work, we will move overnight." Go live in the county government."

As soon as he finished speaking, he happened to run into the shopkeeper who came out with Laifu, and a few steps away, the fat shopkeeper who called Guan Pingchao had already bent down and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, forgive me, Chengdong The Sun family has added a new boy, and it is scheduled to have a banquet tonight, and Ya Ge and the others in the restaurant have already made an appointment yesterday, this villain... ".

Evil nature, when I was in the Yunxi county government, not to mention that the county magistrate Zhang used Accord for banquets, but if a judge came forward to say something, even the wine shop would not dare to say a word, even if it was inside There are already people seated, and the shopkeeper has to do everything possible to make room.Thinking about the past and looking at the present, the magistrate of Longmen County is really a wimp.

Tang Cheng is not a person who bullies the weak and fears the hard. Before, no matter whether he was in the Yunxi County Government or the Jinzhou Prefecture Government, he really never did anything to bully the good. do it.What's the point of pinching those ordinary people who dare not fight back when they are scolded or beaten?shame!

But this time he was not as easy to talk as before, "The people who are invited by the official will arrive later, get ready." After passing by the shopkeeper and casually saying this, Tang Cheng went straight to the back room without stopping. main room.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the waiting waiter was very kind and talkative, Tang Cheng said this, the fat shopkeeper was stunned and then looked at Laifu, "Master, look at this...".

To say that Laifu's mentality is really dark, he was really happy to see that the shopkeeper was also devastated, "Don't say anything, hurry up, get ready", waved his hand, and Laifu followed to the backyard .

"Grandson, if you have the ability to slap people around you", he spat at the backs of Tang Cheng and Lai Fu, and the fat shopkeeper walked towards the kitchen helplessly.

……

At this time, in the police room of the Longmen County Yamen, the servants were busy changing their soap clothes into regular clothes.

"Damn it, it's still warm in the padded jacket made by the mother-in-law." Qian Sanba buttoned the buttons on his clothes, turned his head and said in a loud voice, "Boss Jia, Tang Danhui invited us to dinner as soon as he came back. , and not allowed to wear official uniforms, what does this mean?".

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Jia Laoer, the head of the tolerance, changed his good temper in the past, and said with a gloomy face: "San Scar, how many times have I told you that it is Tang County Magistrate! If you can't change your mouth, don't blame me for being reminded when you suffer in the future."

His sudden cold face puzzled the public servants, so Jia Lao Er ignored him, and shouted after seeing that everyone had changed their clothes, "The city is not peaceful these days, so I'll take all the knives and let's go."

After the servants met Hu Lianghai, who was also in regular clothes, at the gate of the yamen, they walked towards the Longmen Inn together. When they were almost at the gate, Zheng Wu, who was leading the way, turned around and led everyone inside from the small side door next to him. Accord.

Seeing this situation, Tolerance Li, who was more awake, thought something was wrong, but at this time, no one spoke, you squeezed me, and I exchanged glances relying on you.

"Master Hu Liang." Seeing Hu Liang Hai walking in, Tang Cheng, who had been waiting in the Accord for a long time, smiled and cupped his hands, and then greeted all the tolerance officers who filed in, "Everyone has worked hard."

Hu Lianghai was already angry, and he was exhausted these days. After seeing Tang Cheng, he just bowed back with a cold face and didn't say anything.

"After the two Japanese officials settle down in the Yamen, we will hold a banquet to see Master Huliang off." After saying these words that relieved Hu Lianghai, Tang Cheng turned to the waiter and said, "Serve the wine."

The food and wine were served one after another, and Tang Cheng didn't say a word, he drank three bowls in one breath with his neck raised.

The lords of the county have done it first, what else can the servants say besides drinking from the wine bowl?Tang Cheng's banquet was really efficient this time, and he completed the procedure of drinking three rounds almost in the blink of an eye.

After drinking these three bowls, the county magistrate was still speechless, and asked his bodyguard to open all the windows in the Accord in a weird way. This is the Accord closest to the outside seats. Noisy voices came in.

Tang Cheng's weird behavior confused all the tolerances. The atmosphere in the Accord was extremely oppressive. The county lord didn't speak, and they just ate and drank silently, but the feeling of something wrong in their hearts was getting stronger and stronger.

As the largest wine shop and inn in Longmen County, there are quite a few people eating in the lobby outside. These people chattered and gossiped one after another while eating wine. The most eye-catching thing in the county is undoubtedly the affairs of the Du family. , and this is what is being discussed outside.

Because the living habits of the Xi people and the Tang people are different, and the Xi people in this city and the Tang people look down on each other, so there are no Xi people in this restaurant, which is full of people from the Tang Dynasty. I don't have any scruples, what good things can I say about their arguments?Just like the people gathered in the big car shop outside the city at noon, they just scolded Xi Manzi, the Kuadu family has a backbone, and they must also scold the people in the county government.

The Longmen county government has been weak for many years, and the revolving officials and the gamblers have long since become the butt of public ridicule, and the authority has long since disappeared. Of course, everyone in the Accord should be aware of this. It's just that it's one thing to know, it's one thing to listen to it in private, it's another thing to get together and listen to it like this.

As long as you are an individual, there is nothing shameless. Listening to the scolding outside pointing at their useless bastards, the faces of the tolerance officers in the Accord are a little too thick. You look at me, I look at you, all blushing It's embarrassing, but the county lord who was the most scolded didn't speak, and they really can't move lightly.

After all, he couldn't help it, "Sir, come as soon as you go." The leader of the tolerance, Jia Laoer, stood up with a blushing face. Seeing him like this, the other tolerances almost unanimously let out a long sigh of relief.

"What did they say wrong?" Tang Cheng pressed his hands calmly, "Sit down."

Jia Lao Er had no choice but to sit down, and all the servants gritted their teeth and did not say a word, but followed the example of the county magistrate, bowed their heads and poured down the wine.

Who knew that the more the outsiders scolded, the more ugly they became, especially the two young voices who sounded vicious. When they scolded the servants, they went straight to Xiasanlu to say hello. In their mouths, There is not a single real man with a handle in the tolerance of Longmen County.

"They're all eggless. Are they considered men? I heard that the girls in Lihong Courtyard don't want to accept their guests. They are afraid of bad luck. Even if they are forced to accept them, they have to take a bath quickly." ", as soon as this remark came out, there was another burst of applause and laughter from the outside.

The harder the two scolded, the louder the laughter echoed outside. These words and laughter cut in like knives, and the people in the Accord got sores on their buttocks and blood dripping from their faces. No matter how much you can pretend to be a turtle, you can't pretend anymore.

With a sound of "bang", Qian Sanba, who was the most irritable in Tolerance, couldn't help but yelled, "Damn it, I have to tear their mouths apart."

Chapter 228 Ascension!

Qian Sanba, who couldn't bear to scold him, went up against the case, but the expression on the face of the county lord was still indifferent, and the wine bowl in his hand didn't even shake, "There are not [-] or [-] people who have scolded this in Longmen County. , can you tear their mouths off?".

He drank the dirty wine in the bowl between his back and neck, without warning, the county lord, who was still indifferent just now, dropped the empty bowl and stood up suddenly, his anger was mixed with alcohol, and the alcohol further aroused his anger, Tang Chengyue's dissatisfaction with the status quo of Longmen for more than a day now burst out like a volcanic eruption, "Even if you really have the ability to tear everyone's mouths apart, they can still scold in their hearts. You have done something eggless, and you can’t let others say it? I can hear you but you can’t!”.

Tang Cheng, whose face was full of alcohol and sweat, opened his eyes wide, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. In the flickering candlelight of the Accord, his face looked extremely ferocious. In an instant, all the attendants were caught by his sudden rage, and there was no one there. One dared to answer.Hu Lianghai, who already had no business in mind, suddenly forgot about the pea he picked up just now, and stared at Tang Cheng dumbfounded with his hands hanging in the air.

Scarred Qian San is an exception, this guy is a quick-tempered reckless man, he was scolded and humiliated under the pressure of drunkenness, and ignored everything, "If it weren't for you officials who have no eggs and no responsibility, I would How could a foot-tall man get to this point?".

Luckily, Laifu was clever and closed the windows of the Accord immediately when he saw that the situation was wrong. The word did not get out, otherwise there would be a lot of excitement in Longmen County tomorrow.

"Okay, if you don't care about whether you are a man or not, I will give you a chance to rectify your name." Tang Cheng stared at Qian Sanba, and said with a sneer squeezed from his teeth: "Damn it!" Xi Manzi who hurt Du Xingshan lives in Xicheng, I will order now, if you want to be a fucking man, I will arrest him overnight. Otherwise, I will bear the curse of your eight generations of blood relatives."

"If you dare to order, I dare to go." Qian Sanscar, whose eyes were bloodshot, gave Tang Cheng a desperate look and then shouted, "Brothers, let's go."

The atmosphere in the Accord at this time is like a powder barrel splashed with sparks. The long-term dull depression in the front is ignited into a viscous mania under the intensification of Tang Cheng and Qian Sanma. The environment is still awake, and the hearts of others are boiling, even the breath from the mouth and nose is hot.

Following Qian Sanba's yell, he heard a messy sound of a bunch of stools knocking on the ground, "Let's go", it was almost an exact roar, and he stood up seven or eight tolerances, except for one who was older Except for Jia Laoer, the others are all under [-].

"Old Zhao, you really haven't grown eggs?" Now Qian Sanscar is no longer recognized by his six relatives.

"This matter is too big, let's discuss it..." Before the sullen and embarrassed old Zhao could say more, Tang Cheng had already taken the conversation away, "Jia Xu, you know where the murderer lives, go now, Arrest him to the county government office at night, try not to alarm people."

Originally, it was just a matter of anger, but it turned out to be true after all this. Jia Xu, who had never been really drunk, just felt his scalp tingle and wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Cheng After all, his livid face didn't say anything, "Let's go", he gritted his teeth fiercely, and Jia Xu, who waved his hand vigorously, grabbed the waist knife under his robe and walked out first.

"Zheng San, Zheng Wu, you also go to help, Laifu, you and Xiao Qi escort your wife to the county government office", Tang Cheng ordered and then turned around, "Master Hu Liang, let's go to the county government office and wait for the good news." .

It wasn't until now that Hu Lianghai came to his senses, but his mind was muddled by the sudden change of situation just now, and when he got up in a daze, he didn't know what to say.

Tang Cheng pulled Hu Lianghai and walked out first, without even looking at the others, let alone giving orders.After that, Lao Zhao and the others stood up and didn't know what to do for a while. Standing there, you look at me, and I look at you, but you can't make up your mind.

"Let's go back first, can we still go to the yamen now? Isn't that uncomfortable?" After looking around for a few times, the oldest Tolerance said, "Let's talk about San Scar and the others...".

This sentence was only half spoken and there was no more after that, but Lao Du and others all knew what he meant. Is it easy to catch Xi people in Longmen County?If it is not done well, it may cause some big trouble. Go back and avoid it now, so that you can shirk the responsibility in the future.

As for the county lord being angry, he must be angry, but that's all because of his own anger. Don't look at how powerful he was with his claws just now, life in Longmen County has to go on.

"Go back", Lao Du echoed, and the others had no objection, and then there was another sound of benches hitting the table. Tonight, this Accord, which has never been lively from the beginning to the end, is already empty.

Lao Du and Qian Sanba were originally sitting in the innermost place of the Accord, and they were naturally the last ones to leave the Accord. I remembered the vulgar story told by the monks when I visited the temple.

"Hongmen Banquet!" After murmuring these four words in his mouth, Lao Du shook his head and gave a self-conscious smile. It's all the same, why did he get so dazed.It just so happened that someone shouted in front, and Lao Du quickly followed after agreeing.

Not long after, the fat shopkeeper Guan Pingchao, who got the news, ran over from the lobby and saw that there was no one on the two seats in the Accord, and the fat on his chubby face began to appear. She twitched from the corner of her eyes, "A bunch of grandchildren, who the hell knows the money?".

……

Still coming out of the small side door of the Longmen Inn, the cold wind blowing from the street, shaking his body and shivering suddenly, Hu Lianghai finally woke up completely, he was not a fool at all, what happened inside just now The matter is also simple, it's just that it came too fast for people to have no time to react, and what is unclear now.

First he drank the liquor, then used those words from the outside to irritate the servants, and finally he went into the battle shirtless and fanned the flames for the last time. All of this tonight was clearly planned by Tang Cheng, why don't you do it? Tete told him not to wear soap clothes, even if he came to the Longmen Inn to eat, he had to go through the small side door like a thief, because he was afraid that the diners in the lobby would not dare to speak after seeing him and his group.

Please be more aggressive than generals, Hu Lianghai himself knows that this is the only way to expect this group of tolerance officers to do something, but it is not easy to arrest people, and the finishing work is even more difficult, so difficult for Hu Lianghai Even thinking about it is scary.

Tang Cheng's carriage was left in the inn waiting for Zheng Lingyi to pack up and move to the county office. When Hu Lianghai came, he was with the servants, so he didn't call for a carriage.At this time, there was no car to sit in, so the two of them walked to the county government office not far away, "What is Huliang County Lieutenant thinking?".

Hearing this, Hu Lianghai, who lowered his head and thought about his own thoughts, raised his head, hesitated and finally said, "I understand what Mr. Tang is thinking, but Longmen is no better than other places. The arrest of Xi Ren can affect the whole body. It's really not reckless."

After finishing speaking, Hu Lianghai felt regretful again, what a shame, how did he spend this month?Why do you say these things, it's good that he is unlucky, he is going to leave soon, what does Longmen County have to do with him even if it is messed up again?

"Thank you for the reminder," Tang Cheng smiled for the first time tonight, "Huliang County Lieutenant was still concerned about this matter before he left, which shows his deep affection for Longmen." After saying this, Tang Cheng stopped walking and turned his head In the past, he said: "How about staying in office for a few more months if you don't call Master Liang?".

Hu Lianghai's face instantly became extremely exciting, if Tang Cheng hadn't been in person, maybe he would have slapped his mouth violently.

"Joke, joke, Lord Hu Liang, don't mind." This county captain is really interesting!Seeing Hu Lianghai's indescribably wonderful expression, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing out, "In three days, I will hold a banquet for Mr. Hu Liang to see him off."

After hearing these words, Hu Lianghai was finally relieved, but seeing Tang Cheng smiling so happily, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but want to stab him, "The future of Jia Xu's trip is unpredictable. , Master Mingfu is not worried?"

"Worry! Why don't you worry?" Tang Cheng's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked up at the faintly visible outline of the county government in front of him and said in a deep voice, "But no matter how worried you are, you have to do what you have to do, even though a man It should be able to bend and stretch, but it is enough to be a turtle with its own head."

Tang Chengcheng sent a sentence of emotion at random, but it completely changed in Hu Lianghai's ears. After all, he has been working in Longmen County for a long time. Is this mocking me for being a coward?Thinking of this, the little pleasure that had just risen in Hu Lianghai's heart suddenly disappeared.

Naturally, they couldn't talk if they were not speculative. Fortunately, the two had already walked to the county yamen. As county lieutenants, they were not qualified to live in the back yamen. However, the house where Hu Lianghai temporarily lived was not far from the yamen. People bowed their hands and said goodbye.

Seeing Tang Cheng enter the county government office, he called Liang Hai and spit on the ground, "Teasing me, there will be times when you will be unlucky!" After saying this sentence, he felt a lot better, and when he turned his face and walked towards the residence, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. sky!No, tonight's matter can be dragged on for three days, and maybe tomorrow will not know what it will be like. Although Tang Cheng let go, as long as he doesn't leave for a day, he is still in office. If something happens, don't think about it Run away, and arresting and arresting robbers is the duty of the county lieutenant. If he really wants to stab the big Lou Zi and the court will investigate him, the county lieutenant's guilt is no less than Tang Cheng's.

Well, you Tang Cheng, you want to trick me into helping you top the tank again!Ji Lingling shuddered, Hu Lianghai no longer cared about his body, and the square step turned into a trot in an instant.

"Clean it up, the sooner the better." Seeing the bewildered expression of the old family members accompanying him to the post, Hu Lianghai roared with smoke, "It's now, let's leave overnight." After shouting, he rushed into the inner room to find the officials. After the official reply was issued, Hu Lianghai turned around and ran out without daring to delay at all.

Want to pull me on the back of the cylinder head, no way!Even if you talk badly tonight, you have to counter-sign this official document.

Hu Lianghai ran to the corner of the county yamen's wall in one breath, then stopped abruptly and gasped for breath. It's hard for him to be so old and a person who usually doesn't move around, so his viscera would explode after running so fast. The same, because of the lack of oxygen, the brain is still dizzy.

Fortunately, it was late and cold, and no one on the quiet street saw him in such distress. After Hu Lianghai calmed down while holding his breath against the cold wall, he straightened his clothes, turned around the wall and walked steadily towards the yamen. go inside.

Before entering the door, Hu Lianghai felt that something was wrong. The yamen, which was as dark as usual when he came just now, had already lit up many lights, especially in the main hall of the county yamen that he had just renovated. Even more so.

Looking at it like this, Jia Xu and the others succeeded!As soon as this thought came to his mind, Hu Lianghai immediately felt bitter in his mouth, and ran to the court without caring about anything else.

The newly renovated courtroom became brighter and brighter under the light of the four lamp trees. The first thing Hu Lianghai saw when he ran in was Xi Ren who was tied up like a rice dumpling on the ground, and Jia Xu and other officials standing beside him. They were panting heavily, and it looked like they had just arrived.
