There was nothing serious about it recently, Han Lang and He Yijiu lived a rare and peaceful life, they went to work during the day, and when the weather was fine, they went to the suburbs to relax, feeling uncomfortable.

When the river is fresh and plump, fishing boats can be seen everywhere along the river, and trucks loaded with fresh fish drive into the city one after another early in the morning, followed by hungry wild cats.Occasionally, a river fish would come down from the bumpy road, and the driver was too lazy to bend down to pick it up.This is cheap, the wild cats rushed forward with an "ooo", fighting and scrambling, and immediately divided up the struggling river fish.

The fish cart drove away slowly, and the full fish scales were shining brightly under the sunlight.Han Lang walked not far behind, carrying a dagger on his way to the county government office.He Yijiu waved goodbye to him, and gave him a few instructions before leaving.When you see the new county magistrate, remember to be humble and flatter you; don't speak too bluntly, just ask where the other party is from, what preferences you have, so that you can get along better in the future.

Han Lang's left ear went in and out of his right ear, trying to fool around.In the end, He Yijiu got serious with him, insisting that he had offended Magistrate Qian because of his straight temper before, but this time he couldn't be like that.The two of you said something to each other, and after a delay at the door of the house, they set off separately.Now Han Lang was following the fishing cart slowly, but his mind was far away.

The relationship Qian County Magistrate has been managing has finally come into use, and he was transferred to work in Beijing.The old boss just left yesterday, and the new one took office today. I don't know what kind of person he is.Han Lang only heard that he was from the south, and he was rigid and serious, a ruthless character.

Originally, such a new boss should be much better than the lazy magistrate Qian, but Han Lang always had an ominous premonition, as if his comfortable days were coming to an end.Yesterday he dropped a cup inexplicably, and knocked over half a box of tea that he always liked to drink before going to bed.A series of abnormal behaviors of course caught He Yijiu's attention, that's why the other party pulled him so much this morning, and finally said: "If it really doesn't work, you can pretend to be stupid, and pretending to be stupid is the ultimate way to deal with shrewd people. "

Does it really work?

After walking all the way full of thoughts, Han Lang finally arrived in front of the county government office.I don't know if it's an illusion, but the yamen servant on duty at the gate today stood very straight, and when he saw him, he didn't even dare to smile, so he nodded expressionlessly.In the distance, A Bao and a group of policemen are practicing in the yard. They are not seen practicing martial arts on weekdays. They spend two days in the sun chatting in the sun, and today is also uncharacteristically.

"Oh, you're here so late?" Seeing him, the county magistrate snorted angrily and said, "Magistrate Yuan just mentioned you."

This county magistrate, a short old man, is actually more hateful than magistrate Qian.Although County Magistrate Qian disliked Han Lang a little, he generally didn't care about it and let him do whatever he wanted.But this county magistrate is a person who pretends to be a powerful person. He usually speaks harsh words when he sees Han Lang. Although he dare not do anything in front of him, he makes the most small reports behind his back.

As for why he is not likable, Han Lang knows it well.What He Yijiu said about being too straightforward is one thing. He handles things impartially and doesn't know how to be tactful, let alone how to please his boss. As time goes by, he will definitely be squeezed out.Fortunately, Ah Bao and the rest of the police have a good relationship with him, and Bo Meng is also a good person, and he often takes care of him on weekdays.I just hope that the new county magistrate Yuan will not be provoked by the county magistrate, and catch him again together.

Thinking of this, he had already walked to the county magistrate's office, and waited for his servants to go in and report before stepping in.County magistrate Yuan was alone in the house, sorting out the files left behind.Han Lang greeted him respectfully, but the other party remained silent and didn't even raise his head.

An alarm bell suddenly sounded in Han Lang's mind. Could it be that the rain is about to come, and the other party is going to show his face to him just now?Fortunately, he has seen the big scene, and he can still calm down at this moment, standing aside and waiting for the county magistrate to speak.For just a moment, he silently looked at the other person, thinking that he would first observe and observe what kind of person he was.

The man looked to be in his 40s, with a hooked nose, raised brows, and a thick black beard. He looked majestic.For some reason, he always reminded Han Lang of his unkind grandfather. The two had similar temperaments, and they seemed difficult to get along with.At the moment when he was thinking wildly, the new county magistrate Yuan raised his head and glanced at him indifferently: "County Han?"

"The subordinate is here." He replied hastily.

County Magistrate Yuan put down the case file in his hand, and looked at him without emotion: "Generally, one county has one lieutenant, but Anping is a big county, why not two lieutenants?"

Han Lang was taken aback for a moment, thinking where did he start from: "This... This is the previous arrangement of County Magistrate Qian."

"Magistrate Qian is not here. I am asking you, and you can't even answer this?"

Is this person finding fault on purpose?There is no such thing.Han Lang was upset, but he still respectfully said: "About Anping is close to the capital, and there are not as many cases as in remote places, so there is no need for too many people."

"The closer you are to the capital, the more negligent you can be." The other party said coldly, "How many years have you been a county captain?"

"Nearly a year."

"One year?" County magistrate Yuan sneered, "I heard that your father is also a county captain?"

"Indeed," Han Lang answered truthfully, "It happened 20 years ago."

"Nepotism, kinship, no wonder the county lieutenant was so sloppy in the selection, and he got such a lazy thing."

Hearing this, Han Lang was already a little angry, and suppressed his unhappiness and said: "Although the position of county lieutenant is small and humble, it is also a real county magistrate, not to mention that my father has passed away for many years, and the subordinates have passed through various selections. , did not rely on blood relatives to seek official positions as Master Yuan said."

Yuan County Magistrate was noncommittal: "I don't care how you became a county captain, but you should do your job well when you are eating the imperial food. You can guarantee that from the moment you become a county captain, you will always keep your duty. Never dereliction of duty?"

Han Lang's words are correct: "Your subordinates can swear to the sky."

County Magistrate Yuan laughed, which made him feel chills. The other party picked up the file on the table and threw it at his feet with a "snap": "Let's see for yourself."

Han Lang bent down to pick it up, Wu Zhao's case, Ma Youyi's case, and the Hungry Ghost case before.There is also a thick stack below, all of which are the cases I have handled in the past year.It stands to reason that this should be regarded as his meritorious service, so why is it wrong?

He couldn't figure it out, so he kept silent.County Magistrate Yuan got up and walked up to him, and said sharply, "In Wu Zhao's case, three people were killed and injured in the county government. The murderer was disembowelled and died. This case of Yu Fu was just an ordinary crime of theft. The murderer's whole family died in prison. , implicated the death and injury of nearly ten yamen servants, what is going on?"

Han Lang could only bite the bullet and said: "Wu Zhao killed Wang Laosan, who raised the little ghost, and suffered retribution, while Yu Fu was accidentally caught by a hungry ghost..."

"It's nonsense!" County magistrate Yuan slapped the table with his palm, shaking all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

Han Lang was at a loss for words, there were people everywhere who didn't believe in ghosts, but County Magistrate Yuan was one of them. "You must believe the theory of demons and ghosts. My lord, listen to my subordinates to analyze carefully." He picked up the file of Wu Zhao's case, intending to explain the whole story to the other party. The little devil is lucky for himself..."

"All right, all right, keep talking nonsense," County Magistrate Yuan interrupted him aggressively, "Leaving aside these things for now, look at this case, Ma Youyi reported the arson? County Magistrate Qian—now it's called Qian Dianji , He asked you to investigate, and the result? You went there for more than half a month and came back empty-handed, so what is going on?"

Han Lang lowered his head, there was something else hidden about that incident, but he couldn't tell outsiders casually: "That time...it was indeed the subordinate's dereliction of duty."

County magistrate Yuan sneered, picked up a file again, and patted it in front of Han Lang: "Yunhai Villa? You haven't returned for several days, and there is no news at all. The county lieutenant has neglected his duties, and a case is about to come out in Anping County." , who should I go to?"

"That's to investigate Yunhai Villa's private breeding of slaves and human trafficking..."

County Magistrate Yuan sneered again: "I happened to be in the middle of Beijing when I received the transfer order. Dali Temple has handled this case with Sir Yu, and it has been spread throughout the court for a long time. Now you want to take it on yourself?"

Han Lang was at a loss for words, he already clearly felt that this person was here to find fault, what should he do, knock out his teeth and swallow blood?If you talk back, and the other party sends a paper of impeachment to Jingzhong in a fit of anger, your official position as county lieutenant will be lost.

He is a ninth-rank petty official, destined to act according to the face of others.In the morning, He Yijiu also told him to endure the calm for a while, and never offend his boss again.

"You can say that those are old things. If that's the case, let's take the most recent one. You disappeared again a month ago and didn't show up at the county office for several days. Can you tell me about it?"

Han Lang wanted to say that he was handling the case of Xu Jiahuo Lingle in the capital, but if he told the truth, he would definitely be reprimanded by Yuan County Magistrate.Seeing that he was speechless, County Magistrate Yuan became even more arrogant, slamming the case again and said: "Han Lang, Han Lang, you were promoted by Qian Dianji after all, but you didn't restrain yourself and handle the case with an open mind. Perfunctory! Do you know your mistake?!"

Han Lang tried his best to endure the grievances in his heart, and knelt down with a "plop": "This subordinate knows his mistake."

"Knowing the mistake, is it enough to just know the mistake? If the official is not transferred here, how long do you want to hang around?!"

Han Lang kowtowed: "Please punish me, my lord."

Only then did County Magistrate Yuan pace back to the main seat and sit down. He didn't let Han Lang get up, and just said condescendingly: "Punishment? If I really punish you according to the law, you can take off your official uniform and get out now." County government office. I think you are young, inexperienced, do not know how to measure, you have not got rid of some lazy and slippery stinking problems, and you still need good guidance. This official will not punish you severely. You can get ten strokes of the buttocks by yourself. Half a year's salary will be fined, and the rest will be discussed later."

Han Lang kowtowed again, and retreated humbly.There was no one around, so he punched the beam and pillar hard.injustice?Of course wronged.I've never been so slack.In the past, it was fine to be made things difficult by County Magistrate Qian and the county magistrate. Those two spoke badly at most, but they really didn't make him suffer any crimes.The new county magistrate Yuan is different, it is obvious that he is not pleasing to the eye!

I really don't know where I offended him, I hope it's only temporary, and it's better to keep a low profile recently, so as not to hit the gun again.

Fortunately, the yamen servants were all acquaintances, so they didn't dare to beat him hard. The top ten boards hurt him so much that he grinned.It was lunch time at noon, and as soon as the news got out, many idle policemen and government servants came to the courtyard of the county government, some came to care about him, and some were just to watch the fun.Han Lang was depressed, and he just said a few words "no problem" and then bit the bullet and left.On the way, I met Meng Zhubo, who handed him two plasters for bruises, saying that he bought them specially from an acquaintance, then patted his arm earnestly, and sighed: "Oh, it is said that the new official took office three years ago. There is no way to do it if you like to take young people under the knife."

Han Lang thanked him, and managed to force a smile: "It's okay, I've been away from the county a lot recently, and what he said makes sense."

"You, you have also restrained yourself recently, don't be too prominent," Zhu Bo whispered, "I think it will be better in a few days."

Han Lang faintly felt that things were not that simple. Even if the new county magistrate really wanted to build up his prestige, he had gone too far.I'm afraid it's... ulterior motives.

Alas, I hope he is thinking too much.

The incident of Han Lang being punished happened in the county government office, and there were not many people who knew about it.But He Yijiu was very familiar with that group of yamen servants, and someone immediately spread the news to his ears.When He Yijiu heard this, he exploded with anger. His wife was bullied and beaten, how can this be done? !The new county magistrate is so desperate that he even dares to touch his Lord He's people? !

Liang Zi is settled, even if He Yijiu can't do anything to the county magistrate now, sooner or later he will take revenge.He is so small-minded, whoever dares to touch a single hair of Han Lang, he dares to go up and fight with him!

"Where are the others?" He Yijiu gritted his teeth, "Where are the people from Han Lang?"

"It's still in the county government office," said the yamen servant who tipped him off, "Master He, the new county magistrate is so worthless. I saw Mr. Han knelt down to apologize to him, but he was still indifferent. look."

With a "pop", He Yijiu crushed the medicine pot in his hand, and the medicine residue splashed all over the ground.The yamen servant took half a step back in fright, and said in surprise: "Master He calm down, the other party is the magistrate of the county! Don't be impulsive!"

"Why does he torment A-Lang so much?!"

"Ah, that's... the three fires of the new official's appointment, most of them are thunder and rain, and it will be fine in a few days."

He Yijiu's face was gloomy, and he remained silent for a long time.After the yamen servant left, he angrily put away his things and walked outside.Seeing that he was about to leave, a few people who came together to look for business hurried up and asked, "Master He, are you not doing business?"

"Don't do it."

What kind of person is He Yijiu? Although he and Han Lang are like a big pug on weekdays, his tail is about to break off, that's because he likes Han Lang and wants to stick to him.But at other times, he was still the famous Anping tyrant, and now he was really angry, the murderous look in his eyes could scare people, and when he spoke, everyone took half a step back.

He didn't need to order, just glanced over, and immediately ran up to a person, and said cautiously: "Master He, just give orders, whether to tie up that guy or cut him off, the little one will go through fire and water."

He Yijiu said: "Hire a sedan chair."

"Huh? Oh, oh, let's do it!"

Another person came up and said: "Master Han has suffered a lot, why didn't Master He punish that new dog official?"

"Don't worry about it for a while," He Yijiu said coldly, "You all forgot what happened today, whoever dares to mention it, I cut off his tongue."

The other party immediately came to his senses, turned around and said to the others: "It's all gone! There's nothing going on here! Get out of here!"

He Yijiu hired a sedan chair and immediately rushed to the county office.Before Han Lang came out, he had been waiting anxiously outside.It wasn't until dusk that the streets were full of people rushing home, and Han Lang appeared at the gate of the county government office.He just took a step, and before he could react, He Yijiu had rushed out like a tiger, picked up Han Lang and moved him to the sedan chair like a sack, pulled the curtain, and urged the bearer to set off.

"Where is the injury, is it serious?"

"You're too exaggerated..." Han Lang couldn't laugh or cry, and then his eyes flickered suddenly, and He Yijiu pushed him to lie on the chair, "What are you doing?! Didn't I just get hit by a board? I'm not made of tofu." of!"

"If you get hit, I get hit," He Yijiu sulked with a sullen face, "It's like this after not seeing you for a day, if he wants to hit you, hit him, why are you so useless. "

"Didn't you tell me to hold back?"

"I didn't let you endure this!" He Yijiu yelled angrily, and he regretted it as soon as he said it, stuffed Han Lang into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I didn't lose my temper with you, I'm just on fire."

Han Lang sat up and sighed, because he touched the wound and "hissed" twice: "It's okay, it's just a small injury."

He Yijiu knew that Han Lang would most likely refuse, but he still couldn't help asking: "Teach him a lesson, so that he can't bear to walk around."

Han Lang shook his head as expected: "Why do you have to be so vengeful? I've said it all, it's just a trivial matter."

To be honest, he has been cared by many people today, but no one cares as much as He Yijiu.Regardless of whether it can be done or not, as long as the other party wants to stand up for him, then he is satisfied.

He Yijiu rubbed his shoulders, and by the way helped him pin a lock of hair behind his ears: "I'm afraid you'll be so stupid that he will think you're a soft persimmon, easy to pinch."

Han Lang said unhappily, "You've known me for so long, when did you see me being bullied for no reason and didn't know how to fight back?"

He Yijiu laughed dryly: "You're such a nice person, I'm afraid you will be plotted against."

"All right, all right," Han Lang helplessly stretched out his hand to stop him, "This official career is for me to go on my own, and I will solve the problems I encounter by myself, so don't interfere."

He Yijiu had no choice but to respect his wish, and agreed, but he had other thoughts in his heart: Anyway, he just didn't want Han Lang to suffer a little bit of grievance, so he wrote down the account first, and the surname Yuan, bah, he must deal with it. guy.

The sedan chair stopped, and He Yijiu insisted on hugging Han Lang to get off the sedan chair on the grounds that Han Lang was injured, but Han Lang dodged past him a few times.At first, they thought that this day would be over like this, but they didn't expect that there was an acquaintance standing at the door of the house, who was Zhao Wang's subordinate whom the two had met several times.

"My lord has something important to discuss with the two of you," the man said with a bow, "I also ask you to rush to the capital immediately."
