Chapter 584 New County Magistrate
It didnt take long for a group of people to arrive at the village chiefs house. They shouted at the door at the top of their lungs: Uncle village chief, please hurry up and open the door. We always have trouble with you! Dont pretend youre not here. We know youre always at home!
Village Chief He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and roasting sweet potatoes at home while counting his silver. When he heard the deafening shouts, he thought it was a bandit coming to steal the silver. He trembled in fright and dropped a piece of silver in his hand.
Village Chief He hurriedly picked up the silver, wiped it again and again, and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of shrews, each singing a gong, want to scare the old man to death?"
Bang, bang, bang!
The doorbell rang again, and Village Chief He cursed again. After hiding the money, he asked He Tongsheng to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, He Daqiao's daughter-in-law and the others rushed in. Each of them laughed so hard that Village Chief He went crazy: "Uncle, I heard that your grass was sold for nearly ten taels of silver?"
Village Chief He wanted to vomit blood: "Which **** made up this rumor?"
Twenty taels and forty coins turned into nearly ten taels of silver for him in the blink of an eye, which was really a big deal.
He Laoqiao's daughter-in-law has a higher seniority and is also the eldest among this group of women. She said these big words casually on the road. She was afraid that the village chief would punish her for talking about it, so she hurriedly cried: "Brother village elder, can you You have to help us. You can't just ignore us when your family gets rich. Your nephew Dachai is still doing corvee work. If the family had money, he wouldn't have to suffer like this."
After saying this, he immediately started to cry.
He Tongsheng squatted in the room and looked around, but he didn't see the tears in the old woodcutter's grandmother.
Not long after, the men in the village who got the news also came to the door. After He Laoqiao scolded his old wife a few words, he said to Village Chief He: "Brother Village Elder, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have laughed at you for planting grass for the old man." Brother, I apologize. But you are the village chief and the head of the He family. You have such a good thing to make money, so you can't miss our He family."
Other men from the He family also said: "Yes, village chief, we have realized our mistake, and we will definitely listen to you in the future. Please help us."
That was what Village Chief He was waiting for. Now he has learned to be smart from Gu Jinli. He did not relent immediately, but said awkwardly: "Our family signed a contract with the Gu family, so it's not easy to take you with us."
"We can also sign a contract." He Daqiao's wife said, "We all understand the rules of the Gu family and we are willing to sign."
Although the Gu family's contract is harsh, it can make money. For the sake of money, it doesn't matter if there are some restrictions.
However, Village Chief He knew the temperament of the He family very well. Now he was jealous of the money made by Aphids, so he naturally agreed readily. After a few days, when the excitement was over, he probably would not take it seriously.
Xiaoyu Yatou has said that aphids are medicinal materials, and medicinal materials are related to human life, so they must be taken seriously, and they must be done carefully, and there is no room for carelessness.
Therefore, Village Chief He said in a very embarrassed manner: "You go back first. I have to ask the Gu family about this matter, and I will give you an answer after a while."
He also explained: "You know the temper of the Gu family. If you want to make money from the Gu family, you have to be respectful, but don't go to the Gu family in private. If you annoy the Gu family and interrupt the livelihood of the village, I will punish you." Drive out of the village!
After He Cuier's family was expelled from the clan and driven out of the village, the He family already understood that Village Chief He was not trying to scare them, but that he really dared to do this. They hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we are not He Daqian or He Lao We wont cause trouble for the Gu family if they live in such a broken household like Si.
After the village chief He sent them away, he put the matter aside, thinking that he would wait a few months to temper the He family's temper before talking about it.
The commotion about the aphid grass was really big. Even County Magistrate Xu knew about it and sighed: "The Gu family is really blessed. You can sell it for money just by growing it. It's amazing."
Master Tian also nodded and said: "Indeed, those who can survive on the road to escape are all somewhat lucky. I heard that the aphid grass does not occupy the field, but is planted in the open space in front of the house and behind the house, and it grows for a year In the third harvest, Village Chief Hes family planted twenty kilograms of grass seeds, and this harvest was sold for twenty taels of silver.
Magistrate Xu was surprised and said, "Isn't that six taels of silver a year? It's really a good thing."
Its a pity that we cant collect grain tax. Only things that grow in the fields can collect grain tax, and things that grow in the open space in front of the door are not taxed. but
Master Zheng has made a profit. This is a good political achievement.
Mr. Zheng is the new magistrate of Tianfu County and a branch of the Zheng family in Jinling. He studied hard for more than ten years and is finally in high school. The Zheng family was very optimistic about him and offered him the position of magistrate of Tianfu County so that he could get some credit. He would be here in two days.
However, County Magistrate Xu will not be able to leave until after the new year.
The case of Zou County Cheng was too big, and many things were not fully investigated. The court allowed Magistrate Xu to stay and take Magistrate Zheng with him. When Dali Temple in the capital completely closed the case, Zou County Cheng, Gao Tong, and others were executed. After the people from Magistrate Gong, Magistrate Tan and Ruyang Houfu, Xu County Magistrate was allowed to go to Beijing.
Two days later, Magistrate Zheng arrived with three accompanying masters, several staff members and a group of nursing staff.
As for the family members, they stayed in Jinling and temporarily lived in the courtyard of the Zheng family, a direct branch of the family. They would be taken over after County Magistrate Xu left with his family members.
"Master Xu has worked hard. I admire Zheng. Please accept Zheng's respect." Magistrate Zheng got off the mule cart and saluted Magistrate Xu.
About Magistrate Xu, Magistrate Zheng heard from the Zheng family. He had the courage to ask Magistrate Liang to encircle the water bandits, and it was done. He was truly courageous and resourceful.
Of course, he didn't know that Magistrate Xu was a scammer.
Magistrate Xu was so frightened that he hurried to help Magistrate Zheng: "Master Zheng, what are you doing? We are at the same level and it is not easy for us to do such a courtesy."
County Magistrate Zheng is a branch of the Zheng family and has a much better background than him. Magistrate Xu is a little scared.
Magistrate Zheng smiled meaningfully, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has been promoted. I would like to congratulate you first."
Magistrate Xus eyes widened. Are you here? Are you here? Has the promotion youve been waiting for nearly ten years finally come?
County Magistrate Zheng has his back to the Zheng family. Since he can say this, the appointment document from the court is almost here.
As expected, a group of people came to the Fucheng Yamen the next day and announced the new appointment of County Magistrate Xu.
Gao Sheng, still rising two levels, and being transferred to Beijing, and directly became the Beijing official. It was really not ascending. It was amazing, but the county magistrate could not be happy at all.
What does the appointment document say?
He is said to be a rare genius with unparalleled wisdom and courage, and a plan to solve the case. He is expected to be promoted to the post of Prime Minister of Dali Temple and will go to Beijing to take up the post before March next year.
County Magistrate Xu wants to cry, he is unparalleled in wisdom and courage, has a plan to solve the case, and is a genius... Is this him you are talking about? Why doesn't he know that he still has these abilities?
He was just a person who was tricked. He thought he would be tricked to death, but in the end he solved the case without knowing what happened. The matter of rounding up the water bandits really had nothing to do with him.
Is it too late for him to explain things clearly?
The gentleman who came to read out the appointment document also said with a smile: "Master Xu, congratulations to you. You have been promoted two levels and directly became a capital official. This has not happened for decades. You, you can be regarded as a capital official." their eyes."
Xu County Magistrate:
I beg the adults in the capital to kick him out of their eyes! He really can't do the work of solving the case, and he will lose his life.
