Master Luo Cao

Fu Yunshu's road to office was difficult and difficult. Not to mention he almost died when he met a bandit, he was finally sent all the way to the county by kind people.

Fu Yunshu said in a friendly voice, "My name is Fu Yunshu, and I am the new county magistrate of Jiuhe County, as evidenced by the letter of appointment."

The yamen servant is Wang Xiaozhu, the only son of Wang Laozhu who sells soy milk in the east of the county. He is not young, but he has little knowledge. It was a thin piece of paper covered with a red seal, and I didn't see a familiar face on the paper for a long time.To cover up his embarrassment, he coughed twice, raised his head, and his eyes fell on Fu Yunshu again. He saw that the boy in front of him was only in his early twenties, with a fair face and no trace of dust. The county magistrate, who looks rich and rich, is far from him. No matter how he looks at it, he can't see the slightest official authority. He suspects that this little white face is a swindler who has the audacity to come to the county government to eat and drink. Who dares to pretend to be the county magistrate with a piece of waste paper, and you don't go back and look in the mirror to see what you look like, make your face fatter, and make your belly bigger, and then tell me that you are the county magistrate Let's go!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back to the county government office. Fu Yunshu heard him muttering in a low voice, "Is this how you're supposed to be the new county magistrate? Grandpa, I'm still the emperor's private visit!"

Fu Yunshu smiled bitterly helplessly, why are the bandits and yamen servants in this county all talking about the same thing?Rubbing his own face, trying to hold himself together, he went up and patted Wang Xiaozhu on the shoulder, "This little brother..."

Wang Xiaozhu originally thought that this little liar was young and ignorant, so he deliberately let him go, but who knew that this guy didn't know how to repent, so he dared to pester him?Pulling his face down, he turned around, pulled out the saber from his waist, and scolded: "What else do you want to do? What's wrong with being a young man with hands and feet, and wanting to be a liar? I'm kind enough to spare you, my lord. If you don't leave, wait until our county magistrate and county magistrate come back, and I'll have some good fruit for you!"

"Wang Xiaozhu! What are you doing there?" Between the two of them, a tall man with a big arm and a round waist came, wearing an official uniform, with thick eyebrows and broad eyes, with a long knife on his waist, striding forward. Come here briskly.

Wang Xiaozhu turned around to look, and quickly saluted, "Lord County Captain!" Then he stepped forward with a shy smile, "Didn't your lord go to pick up the new county head with the county magistrate and a group of brothers? Come back first? Where is the county magistrate?"

"Don't talk about it," the county captain was sweating hotly, and while rolling up his sleeves he wiped it casually, and said, "Lao Xu and I waited for a full day in the Jiuqu corridor eighteen miles away from the county gate. Not to mention the county magistrate, I haven’t even seen a passer-by. It should be two days, I haven’t waited today, I’ll wait tomorrow, I just hope the county magistrate won’t go the wrong way and send himself To the door of the bandit den..."

"Don't worry, my lord. Who in Jiangbei Prefecture doesn't know that the gate of Jiuhehou County is close to Jindiao Mountain. Who would dare to point to that road? Besides, I heard that the county magistrate came from a noble family, and there must be countless capable people around him. Just a few bandits , I will definitely not take it seriously..." Wang Xiaozhu turned his head quietly as he spoke, winked at Fu Yunshu, and signaled him to be sensible and get out of here.Unexpectedly, this little liar had no winks, and he didn't take him seriously at all. He walked straight to this side, smiled and gave the county captain a little cup of his hand, and said, "If you dare to ask this, it's Zhao Ciji, Zhao County captain." ?”

"This is Zhao Ciji." Zhao Ciji's eyes were like lightning, he slapped Fu Yunshu's white face a few times, squinted his eyes, and said, "What is this little brother doing?"

Fu Yunshu said: "I'm sorry to wait for a day, Zhao Xianwei, and I will be Fu Yunshu."

Lieutenant Zhao County is no better than yamen servant Wang Xiaozhu, his lightning-like eyes lingered on the bright red seal for a moment, and when he knew the truth or falsehood, he was only stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and said: "Xiaguan Jiuhe County Lieutenant Zhao Ciji, see Lord Magistrate! Please forgive me for not welcoming you from far away!"

Fu Yunshu said: "It's okay, I took another path by myself, and I missed you."

Wang Xiaozhu was stunned by the sidelines. When he heard this sentence, his whole body was shocked again. His eyes moved to Zhao Ciji in surprise, but he was turned back by the other party's cold stare.

Zhao Ciji said: "Xu Mengxu's county magistrate is not in good health. He returned to the county in a sedan chair, and his movements were a little slow, so the subordinate officials went back to the mansion first. The county magistrate's mansion has already been repaired and completed. The adults are tired from all the way, and it's getting late. Why don't you Let's rest for a while, and visit after the return of Xu Xiancheng."

Fu Yunshu nodded and said, "Alright."

The three quickly walked through the county government office.Jiuhe County suffered from artillery fire during the war, but was harassed by bandits in the peaceful and prosperous age. The land was barren and there were no special products, and the way to do business was blocked. But just enough to eat.This Jiuhe county government office also has a shabby atmosphere everywhere, not to mention the small and dark place, even the "Mirror Hanging High" plaque on the court hall is old and dilapidated, and there are spider webs growing in the corners.Fu Yunshu's eyes flicked over these things, and he sighed secretly.

Zhao Xianwei quickly glanced at the face of the magistrate, and sighed: "To tell you the truth, the people of Jiuhe are poor, and it is difficult to collect all taxes, let alone a lot of money... Our county government has been there for decades. It’s not repaired, it’s really wronged adults.”

Fu Yunshu said softly, "It's okay."

While speaking, the three of them had arrived at the backyard of the county government office.Zhao Xianwei took out a long bunch of keys with a jingle, and said while groping: "The backyard of the county government office is connected to the backyard of the adult's mansion, and the main entrance is on another street. It is the first time for the lord to enter the mansion, so it shouldn't be so unruly." , but it's getting late now, for safety's sake, it's better to... be careful."

Fu Yunshu frowned slightly when he thought of the dangers he had experienced today, and said, "Jiuhe County... the bandits in this county are really rampant to this point..."

County Captain Zhao just sighed and said, "It's lucky that your lord is safe."

There is only a white wall and black tiles between the county magistrate's mansion and the county government. There is an arched door on the wall. After crossing the threshold, it suddenly becomes clear that there is another world in front of you.All you can see are clusters of flowers, the garden is full of fragrant scenery, and there is a lotus pond. It is not yet summer at this time, and there are no moving lotus leaves. There is only a small pavilion in the center of the lotus pond. What kind of exquisite mechanism, there are endless water spurting from the mouth of the beast, falling on the eaves of the pavilion, and then falling back into the pond in a rustle. One can imagine how it would be to enjoy the lotus and the moon in this pavilion in midsummer elegant.

Fu Yunshu's eyes flicked across the flowers and pavilions again, and the turmoil in his heart turned into stagnant water again, and he remained silent.

Wang Xiaozhu was regretting that he had offended the county magistrate so much before, seeing Fu Yunshu was speechless, thinking that the county magistrate was curious about the scenery in the mansion and couldn't bear to ask, so he thought he was caring and said: "I will tell you my lord, the former county magistrate... Qian Yu is a fastidious person, and he likes to grow flowers and weeds the most. The flowers and grasses in the garden are all bought from the Luoyang flower market by him and tended carefully... and the pavilion! Mrs. Qian hates summer It was too hot to enjoy the flowers in the sun, so Qian Yu invited skilled craftsmen to build this self-rain pavilion, it is still early, and in July and August, adults can enter the pavilion by boat and enjoy the scenery of the lake!"

Zhao Ciji looked at Wang Xiaozhu with a disgusted look as if he saw a neighbor's scruffy little devil with a drool on his face, and frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop him, and lowered his head silently.

The corners of Fu Yunshu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Very good."

The view of the back garden is superb, and the layout of the house is exquisite and elegant. Qian Yu, the former county magistrate, wrote a flamboyant wild grass. He never thought that he was good, but it was fresh and elegant, which fit Fu Yunshu's taste very well.He flipped up the corner of his robe and sat down on the grand teacher's chair, looking around, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the bonsai on the table, and the tea set beside his hand, all turned into white silver in his eyes, and the silver light shone dazzlingly .Looking at it, Fu Yunshu curled the corners of his lips silently. Qian Yu meticulously cleaned up this wonderful mansion. After enjoying it for a few days, he was imprisoned because of his ineffectiveness in suppressing bandits. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

Then I thought of those bandits who were as tall as iron towers that I ran into today, and the ironic joy in my heart disappeared instantly. Qian Yu deserved to be imprisoned for doing nothing, corrupting the law, but he may not be better than him How much, maybe nothing will be achieved, and when the time comes, we will be locked in the same prison with Qian Yu, and we will be able to exchange with each other about the experience of living in Jiuhe County Magistrate's Mansion and the scenery of Jiuhe County... Just thinking wildly in my heart, Zhao Ciji and another One person had already led a large group of people to come in, and when they saw Fu Yunshu, they all bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "I have seen Master Fu!"

Fu Yunshu was taken aback by this spectacular scene, looked at Zhao Ciji with a dry smile, and said, "This is..."

Before Zhao Ciji could answer, the person beside him said: "Xiameng Xu Meng, the prime minister of Jiuhe County, failed to greet him in time, and neglected the county magistrate, please punish him."

Fu Yunshu said: "I know Master Xu and Master Zhao spent a whole day waiting in Jiuqu Corridor, it was already very hard work, I made a mistake, I don't blame you."

Xu Meng raised his head, with light eyebrows and fine eyes, his long face looked a little pale under the candlelight, he coughed a few times in a low voice, and said, "Thank you, Master Fu, for your forgiveness."

Fu Yunshu looked away from his face, scanned the rest of the people one by one, smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Our county government is really thriving."

The main hall of the county magistrate's mansion was not small enough to accommodate Qian Yu's dozens of concubines singing and dancing recklessly. As soon as people from the county government poured in, it still seemed overcrowded immediately.Fu Yunshu intentionally asked the big guys to go back to their respective houses and talk about things tomorrow, but they couldn't say those words to Xu Meng and Zhao Ciji's hard-faced faces anyway, and could only turn into a lotus seat. The statue of the golden Bodhisattva looked at a person who had worshiped in front of him with a smile.
