Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 50, Sanbao County

There are two county towns near Xinji Town. In terms of distance, they are almost far apart. One of them is called Sanbao, which governs Xinji.

No one knows what three treasures used to be in this quaint county town. Only in the Temple of the Earth where the incense still exists, the Lord of the Earth smiles and looks at the people coming and going.

A county magistrate, a county magistrate, a chief bookkeeper, plus the foremen and yamen servants, etc., are exactly the same as other county towns. Compared with the official pavilion in another county seat, the Yamen in Sanbao County, which occupies most of the dozen or so market towns around it, is relatively prosperous.

Moisturizing does not necessarily mean corruption and perverting the law. There is one of the main piers of the Grand Canal here, resulting in a rich variety of fresh goods, merchants come in diligently, and taxes go. Compared with other poor government offices, life is good.

Guanting County also guards the main wharf, and there are also endless streams of merchants and bustling markets, but the scale is lower than that of Xinji Town, and the degree of moisturization cannot match that of Sanbao County Government.

As an errand in this moist yamen, Guo Chang, the county magistrate, has reason to smile every day, calculating the increase in taxes, and calculating how much of it can be used for the yamen, within the scope allowed by the superior, and will not be impeached .

He also had another reason for being in a good mood. He was appointed as the magistrate of Sanbao County, and he asked for a provincial official named Luan Zhiping. This Mr. Luan was a distant relative of the Nanyang Marquis. The Marquis of Nanyang who is an official here is not unrelated.

Those who understand the official system of this dynasty may want to ask, the Ministry of Household Control has been in charge of household registration and finance in all dynasties, and the Ministry of Officials should be in charge of the promotion of officials.

The Marquis of Nanyang has a relative, the Marquis of Qinghe, who was an official in the Ministry of Officials. The two Marquis were confidantes when they were young. They got married and had children.

Luan Jing made a big fuss in Xinji, saying that his father's official position was taken care of by his father-in-law, but Yun Zhan ignored him because the Marquis of Nanyang made no major mistakes in being an official, and there was an official in the family who was proud of the official department, so he didn't necessarily have an official position in the family It's all about that person.

But besides using the relationship, it can also be used as a talisman shield to scare colleagues.

Guo Chang was extremely envious of Mr. Luan Zhiping. Many dynasties strictly prohibited Beijing officials from making friends with foreign officials. Officials with great ambitions --- this ambition refers to promotion and promotion.

Seeing the wilting leaves in the yard in June and the bright sunlight on the bluestone board should burn his feet, Guo Chang's heart was like a bluestone board, and he himself was boiling hot like a hot pot.

what!
Haha!

God opened his eyes, Nanyang Hou Shizi actually came to Xinji in April, his family was not stable and was taken advantage of, Hou Shizi immediately agreed to send him to the county, and wrote to Luan Zhiping, asking him to bring him to the province.

Before Luan Zhiping arrived, Guo Chang had already settled the matter, released the family member named Shunbao on the grounds of insufficient evidence, and took Guo County Cheng to greet Shunbao, who was ordered by the young master, to call back the next day , Not a single gift of copper coins, just an empty word of thanks, the beautiful Guo Chang asked his wife to cook two dishes that night, and drank half a catty of wine.

Hahaha!
Nanyang Hou Shizi will remember himself, right?

The incident happened in April, and now it is June. More than a month has passed, and Guo Chang has not woken up from the promotion dream he wove. Chang has even more reason to start dreaming and dreaming in broad daylight, intoxicated in his ambition.

Speaking of people's life, winter prevents snow disasters, summer worries about drought, and harvesting seasons are busy. The county magistrate Zhu of this city has been guarding the villages outside the city these days, inspecting the summer harvest from village to village, until now. The summer harvest was drawing to a close, and he still hadn't bothered to come back.

The county magistrate ran outside, and the county magistrate took care of everything in the yamen. A few people came in from outside the yamen, and they walked straight towards Guo Chang's office. He looked very confident, but behind them walked the yamen servant who was on duty today in small steps, with a look of entanglement on his face that he wanted to curry favor but was afraid that he would not be able to curry favor.

Among the few high-spirited people who came, one was wearing an official uniform, which showed that his official position was neither high nor low, only one level above the county magistrate Zhu. In the yamen of Sanbao County, everyone could only look up at him. he.

Guo Chang shuddered, jumped off the chair, stooped, trotted out, and knelt down on the hot bluestone in the yard: "I've seen Master Luan before."

The person in the official uniform is none other than Luan Zhiping, who Guo Chang was still thinking about just now, the person who takes care of his official position, and the son of the Nanyang Marquis family.

Luan Zhiping didn't let him get up, and introduced the two middle-aged people around him: "Gui County is in full bloom today, and Lord Nanyang and Lord Qinghe have arrived."

Guo Chang kowtowed with a thud, and he must have lost count of how many kowtows he did, until Nanyanghou and Qinghehou laughed and even helped him up.

Guo Chang was trapped in the mist again, fortunately, he completely forgot the southeast and northwest, he barely recognized where the door was, invited the two Marquis, Luan Zhiping and their entourage to sit down, served tea and presented fruit, there was no mistake in the process .

He did not forget the rules of superiority and inferiority. When the adults arrived, they naturally said that they were the ones to listen. With a flattering smile on their faces and a fire burning from the bottom of their hearts to their faces, Guo Chang waited.

Luanyuan, Marquis of Nanyang, cut to the chase: "You are in charge of Xinji Town?"

"Yes Yes."

"There is a Qi family in the town, what's their reputation like?"

Guo Chang suddenly thought of something that made him wake up from his dream of being promoted, and this time he woke up clearly.

Nanyang Hou Shizi intends to damage the reputation of the girls in Xinji. After Youzheng knew about it, he came to tell Guo Chang that he didn't know that there was a Luan Zhiping in the province who came from Nanyanghoufu. Small officials like them are nothing to worry about.

Youzheng's original words are as follows: "The kidnapper named Shunbao, I escorted you a few days ago, and I don't care whether he let him go now. I just want to say a few words, Mr. Guo, please listen carefully. Last year's case of Ma Dechang, Mr. Guo You feel sorry for me that the adults in the province are so quick to let him go, so that we didn't see the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. This person surnamed Ma is an in-law of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and he is very close."

Guo Chang opened his mouth wide to express his surprise, and You Jian said emphatically, "It's still too early for my daughter, Sister Ting, to find a son-in-law. My lord, your daughter has already grown up and has no marriage! My lord, the reputation of Xinji girl is related to the reputation of the entire Sanbao County, my lord. You can do it yourself, watch it, and if someone from Beijing asks you, if you say something wrong, you will bear it yourself."

At the time, Youzhen thought that Yun Zhan hadn't left Xinji and would come back at any time, and he spoke confidently; Guo Chang didn't blame him, it was reasonable for what he said.The Ma family's case is now at the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Beijing, and Nanyang Hou's Mansion wants to overturn the case. Please handle it in Beijing. If you eat too much and find bad luck in other provinces, who is willing to take the future with you to the end?

　Hee hee, the great god is among the people, I know it well, yesterday's chapter was too talkative, it's presumptuous.
