Go to ancient times to catch fast

After one matter was resolved, Chu Xiaoyun slept soundly that night.But in a county not far away, there is another wave of people who are not so stable.County magistrate and county magistrate Bo and other county government officials gathered in the county seat at night in a house in a hidden alley in the city.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant sat in the grand master's chair above, and looked down dignifiedly: "Is everything here?"

Master Bo got up and looked around: "It's all here."

"Ahem." The magistrate cleared his throat and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about the latest incident."

Saying that, the county magistrate looked at the magistrate: "Then Yang Yuankai's family has been appeased?"

The county lieutenant said disdainfully: "Yang Yuankai has gone in, what kind of disturbance can a group of old and weak women and children cause."

The county magistrate stroked his goatee and said, "Since he kept his promise and didn't involve anyone else, let's be more generous."

"Don't worry, someone has sent 100 taels of silver." The county captain replied.

As soon as the county lieutenant said this, everyone in the audience started talking about it.

"The money is also our big guy's, why should he give it to him for nothing just because he went in?"

"It's okay to give money, but we must ensure that they keep themselves safe."

"It's his duty not to hurt the innocent. We haven't even said that he almost ruined our good deed."

"That's right, I'm only focusing on collecting money and I don't control the risk anymore. To make such a big commotion, last time the county magistrate was moved there to force Wei Jinghan not to seek help from the government office. What a risk it is."

……

Amidst the heated discussion among the crowd, the county magistrate and the magistrate had a private conversation: "Then how did his family react?"

"The family is extremely grateful. The pillars of the family are gone, and a little money is better than anything else." When Yang Yuankai's family was mentioned, the county captain's disdainful expression became more obvious.

"Hey, it's a pity. His son still wants to take the imperial examination. Now it seems that there is no hope."

"Chi——" the county lieutenant sneered, "Dragon begets dragon and phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. Yang Yuan is a martial artist, what kind of imperial examination does his son take!"

"Didn't Yang Yuankai say before that his son was good at studying? A few years ago, he was selected as a scholar and exempted from many taxes."

"There are tens of thousands of scholars in this world, how many of them have achieved fame? Just watch him brag."

"Hey, forget it, everyone has gone in, so it's useless to talk about it now."

"The magistrate's words are reasonable, so don't mention him. It's a disappointment."

The conversation between the two ended, and the county magistrate made a gesture to calm everyone down: "I'm sure you all know what's going on today. Yang Yuankai screwed himself up and let Wei Jinghan and that little rascal surnamed Chu We have grasped the handle. In the future, we must be more cautious in our actions. In addition to the unanimous interests of everyone, I have cleared up your respective private land. Those who are just taking risks and low returns should be willing to give up, don't be a petite Lidu clung to it and ended up picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons."

The words of the county magistrate were like water pouring into a frying pan, and it immediately splashed away.

"I will understand the painstaking efforts of the county magistrate. It's just that the big guy's family has a big family that needs expenses. So I split some of the big guy's money to Yang Yuankai, and let everyone give up the benefits. Even though mosquitoes are small, they are meat. Gather little to make more, trickle to form a river, if you give up those petty profits all at once, how will the life of the big guy be."

"Although Yang Kaiyuan fell into it, it was a wake-up call for everyone, but there is no need to be so alarmed, right?"

"Yeah, does this count as a waste of food because of choking?"

"Yang Kaiyuan was careless. His sphere of influence entered a role that opposed him, but he didn't find a way to get him away in time."

……

"The county magistrate and I are not ignorant of the difficulties of the big guy, but everyone must understand that this Wei Jinghan is coming aggressively. Is the current official salary more important, or the petty profit? Besides, he is still raising Chu Xiao now. That dog, Yun, hit wherever you want. Chu Xiaoyun's bastard gangster, I thought he could be wooed. Hey, it turned out that he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and he got closer and closer to Wei Jinghan. Got a piece."

"The county lieutenant is right. Now the situation doesn't have to be the same. When it's time to bow your head, you must bow your head. For those petty gains, you must abandon those who should be discarded; those who stay must be thoroughly investigated. Those who don't pay you tribute are the people. I can't figure out whether it's a ghost, stupid or stupid; if something like Yang Yuankai happens again one day, everyone will not let it go.

"Yes, yes, the magistrate has taught you the right thing." Seeing that there was no room for turning things around, the people below had no choice but to respond.

"My lord, I don't know about one thing." Someone got up and said.

"What's the matter?" the county magistrate asked.

"Just let that Chu Xiaoyun sit on the chair of the head arrester? The arresting house is such an important government office, and it will be in his hands in the future. Don't we have to restrict him in everything we do!" the man replied.

"There's no way around this. If Chu Xiaoyun won't be able to sit in the position of head arrester, Wei Jinghan still has to dig up Yang Yuankai's case. Let him continue digging, who can guarantee that he won't be dug out of his own monolith? This is expedient The plan is to let the little gangster be proud for a few days. Although we lost the position of arresting the head in this battle, we have kept all of us. Are you afraid that we will not have the opportunity to deal with him in the future?" The county magistrate said, "Some things can't be head-on. , those who should let go have to let go.”

"It's still the county magistrate who sees clearly."

"It's still the county magistrate who sees farther, I'm ashamed!"

"Yes, yes. The more critical the situation is, the more we need adults to guide us."

On the second day, Chu Xiaoyun took Su Wen to Yingmao, the county government office. The county magistrate had already ordered the steward to allocate a house for Su Wen to live in.After Su Wen was settled, Chu Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief.On the first day of the new official's tenure, Chu Xiaoyun presided over the morning meeting and morning exercises, and nothing unexpected happened. It seems that everyone is a veteran of the yamen, and he still has his own bowl of rice.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Su Wen is settled properly, so he doesn't have to go to Yanzhifang to be an apprentice anymore.Chu Xiaoyun was about to go to Yanzhifang to say hello to the owner after finishing dealing with the arresting room, but Fang Lingfeng came without asking.

"I don't know what the Fang concierge is talking about?" The county magistrate trusts him very much, and the master smiles at him when he sees him, but Fang Lingfeng's attitude towards him has never been friendly, so seeing him coming, Chu Xiaoyun is very strange .

This person will never come to congratulate himself on his promotion, will he?

"Captain Chu, there are some things I still want to explain to you. Although the county magistrate is the head of a county, he does need you for some things, so he is more tolerant of you, but don't put the county magistrate Your Excellency takes your tolerance for granted." Fang Lingfeng said.

Chu Xiaoyun was confused by what he said: "Where did you say that?"

"Not only did you take your husband to and from the county office, but you asked the county magistrate to prepare a special house for you. Not to mention that you are not yet married, even if you are already married, this is not in accordance with etiquette." Fang Lingfeng said.

It turned out that this was the case, Chu Xiaoyun quickly explained: "There is a reason for this, Fang Concierge, please listen to me. Because when I went to Yunling County for business last time, I noticed someone following me on the road. I am worried about the safety of my husband, so I am bothering you." my lord."

"You said that someone has followed you secretly. Is there any proof? How many people are the stalkers? How old are they? What are your looks and figures?" Fang Lingfeng asked.

"No trace of the stalker has been found." Chu Xiaoyun was a little ashamed.

"Nothing, that's just a one-sided statement." Fang Lingfeng said mercilessly, "All the things in the county government belong to the imperial court. If you treat you specially, the county magistrate may be criticized. If someone writes It’s no small matter to look up one of the booklets. If adults are excluded from Hejing County because of this, what do you think Hejing County will be like? You have lived here for more than 20 years, so you should know.”

It's not that Chu Xiaoyun hadn't thought about whether he might be suspected of abusing his power, but thinking that Su Wen was in danger because he helped the arrest house solve the case, the county magistrate's actions can be regarded as protecting someone who has meritorious service.However, Fang Lingfeng's words are also reasonable. Now that the case is closed, the so-called stalking is all based on his own intuition, without any evidence. If the other party must deliberately find fault, it is not surprising to be suspicious, not to mention that there is a solid fact.

Fang Lingfeng's words were hard to hear, but they were also true.

Chu Xiaoyun said: "The wife is borrowing for a day today, and tomorrow I will find another way, and I will never cause trouble for the adults."

Fang Lingfeng's tone slowed down: "Chu Butou, you are a good person with a sense of justice and responsibility. There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect your husband, and I can fully understand it. However, you and I have different positions. It’s different, I can only consider the interests of adults. I have to nip everything that may cause harm to adults in the bud.”

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "I understand."

Fang Lingfeng raised his foot and wanted to leave, but turned around again: "I hope that this matter will be kept secret by Chu Butou."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at him suspiciously.

Fang Lingfeng said: "Your Excellency is already very busy."

Chu Xiaoyun understood: "Don't worry Fang Fang, my wife has another place to go, and I will report the truth to my lord."

Fang Lingfeng nodded: "Thank you again, Fang."

After Fang Lingfeng left, Chu Xiaoyun thought to himself, luckily he didn't reject Yanzhifang yet.But thinking of Su Wen going to suffer in such an environment, he felt very distressed.I don't know if I can find a more suitable place next to it.

"Capture the head." A voice rang in my ear.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xiaoyun looked up at the arresting officer who came forward.

The passer-by quickly said: "I passed Zhihe Bookstore while patrolling the street. The shopkeeper of Zhihe Bookstore asked me to send a message that he wanted to see you. He said that ordinary people in the official government office cannot enter..."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "I see."

Presumably, the matter of Wang Sanqiang entrusted yesterday had some clues. Chu Xiaoyun, who was about to go out but was interrupted, continued to walk out.Just in time, I went to ask the female shopkeeper of Yanzhifang to ask Su Wen for a day off.

Chu Xiaoyun walked to Zhihe Bookstore, and saw from a distance that the seal on the gate of Zhihe Bookstore had been removed by the government, and the clerks were rushing in and out, as if they were preparing for the resumption of business.

When I looked up, I saw a Drum Tower on the opposite side, and I was shocked.He hadn't noticed this before, and now he just noticed.This Zhihe Bookstore is just under the Drum Tower, and if there is any movement, you can clearly see it from the Drum Tower.How did the framed "Prairie Eagle" get into Zhihe Bookstore?

Chu Xiaoyun was immersed in his own thoughts.

"Chu Butou." Shopkeeper Duan also has good eyesight, and he came over when he saw someone from afar.

Chu Xiaoyun recovered from his own thoughts, and returned the gift: "Master Duan, this is going to resume work. Congratulations."

"It's all the blessing of Mr. Tuowei and Butou Chu." Duan Chengyang said, "I have an idea about your matter, and I just wait for Butou Chu to decide."

It seems that Wang Sanqiang's livelihood is secure, Chu Xiaoyun said: "I thank shopkeeper Duan on behalf of my brother."

Duan Chengyang smiled and shook his head: "If it's just about your brother, I don't want to trouble Chu Tutou to go there personally."

"Oh, what else?" Chu Xiaoyun asked puzzled.

"Chu Butou, please come in with me." Duan Chengyang invited Chu Xiaoyun to the yard.

Chu Xiaoyun followed in in a daze.

"All the children I accept are here to give lectures." Duan Chengyang pointed to the side room on the right side of the yard facing the street, "The curtain of this room will not be lowered unless it is rainy and windy. On weekdays when the sun is good, we all Reading and practicing calligraphy in the yard."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the tables and chairs in that room, where the children study.Su Wen also wanted to be able to read and write, but unfortunately, as a twin, he was deprived of this right.

"Chu Butou will look there again." Duan Chengyang pointed to the opposite side.

That was another family. The house of that family was a small two-story building with a corridor next to the courtyard of the Duan family.

Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled.

Duan Chengyang said: "I came back yesterday and learned that the house next door will move to Qingzhou Mansion, and the house will be rented out. The storefront on the first floor has been rented out. Now there are two rooms left on the second floor, facing us. This room in the courtyard has not been rented out yet.”

Chu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, looked at the corridor on the second floor next door, then at Duan Chengyang's yard and the wing room where he usually taught the children, and immediately understood the other party's intentions.

Duan Chengyang said: "Although the imperial court does not allow Shuang'er and the girl to go to school, it is quite normal to hear the conversations of the neighbors next door in one's own home."

Chu Xiaoyun gratefully saluted Duan Chengyang: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Duan. No, Mr. Duan!"

This place is right under the eyelids of the Drum Tower. Although there are doubts about how those books were put in last time, if you can hear Duan Chengyang's teaching on the second floor next door, rent a room here for Su Wen. It is really the best place to study and ensure safety.Can solve two problems in a row.

Duan Chengyang hurriedly supported Chu Xiaoyun: "Chu Butou, I can't help it. I'm just trying my best, and it can't catch up with your one-ten-thousandth kindness to my family. Let's go up and have a look, I don't know how to cooperate." It doesn't fit."

Duan Chengyang took Chu Xiaoyun to the second floor next door to look at the house. Before leaving, Duan Chengyang also specially asked a clerk to speak in the wing room with his usual lecture volume.Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Chu Xiaoyun could see the Duan's courtyard clearly through the green trees in the corner.Because of the distance, the guy's voice didn't sound loud enough, but he could still hear it if he focused his attention.

"Okay, very good!" Chu Xiaoyun sighed, "Mr. is still thoughtful."

"It would be great to be able to use it." Duan Chengyang was also very happy, "As long as it is a sunny day, I will take the children to study in the yard from now on, so that they can be closer and listen more clearly."

Chu Xiaoyun was very moved, and thanked Duan Chengyang again and again.He asked the landlord to rent the room facing Duan's courtyard for [-] Wen per month, which was still within his ability.When I took a break at noon, I brought Wenwen to have a look.

Duan Chengyang told him that there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones in stores, so there is no need to go to other places to buy them.Chu Xiaoyun repeatedly agreed.One-stop shopping is naturally good, and money must be paid.
