fast and ferocious

Chapter 4

The two of them chatted and walked to the county government office.

Xiao Fu and Xiao Er carried the soup cups and followed them outside the county government office with their rain gear, and stopped. Xiao Fu sighed and said, "Let's go back together when the Seventh Young Master comes out, otherwise, Madam will inevitably be punished!"

Xiaoer nodded frequently.

Qin Wubing wanted to hurry home from work and take a hot bath to keep him warm, but Fang Rushan called him to the study and sighed.

"Why is Tang Zun so worried?" Qin Wubing took a few sips of hot tea and asked knowingly.

Fang Rushan snorted coldly and said, "You have an extra brain than ordinary people, so you don't know why I am worried?"

Qin Wubing chuckled and said, "Tang Zun wants to leave Jinghai County as soon as possible? I think at the end of the year when the Ministry of Officials inspects, it's enough to give a good grade. If you give a good grade, I'm afraid you'll be promoted!"

Fang Rushan said anxiously: "The incest cases in the territory under my jurisdiction are the fault of my enlightenment. Do you still want to be successful?"

"Whether the incest has to be tried or not, it's just my inference. Besides, the new emperor has only been on the throne for two years, and it is time to work hard to govern. Tang Zun has mentioned the emperor's wisdom and martial arts more than once. How can he not know what a good official is?" I'm afraid it's unfair to judge from one murder case alone. The Tang Zun has governed Jinghai County for more than four years, the lawsuits are equal, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the taxes and money paid every year are only a lot more. There is Mr. Cai on the top, and only one life lawsuit can disturb How many disturbances are there?"

"That's what I said, but there was a severe drought in the west last year, and the snowstorm hit the north earlier this year. The higher ups have been doing food relief, and now the flood season is approaching, and they have to supervise the repair of the river to prevent flooding. Not all of these need money. In the past, we also used swollen faces to pretend to be fat, and now, with this murder case, if there is any request from the higher authorities, how dare I refuse?"

Qin Wubing smiled without a smile on his face, but didn't say anything.

"Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, it's time for new and old ministers to play games. Whoever hides when they see things, wins over people when they see them, and grabs them when they see them! I am a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and now I have this handle. It's a good time to be manipulated by others, if it's just one party, it's fine, if several parties call me at the same time, what should I do?"

Qin Wubing knew that this was a matter of standing in line, he couldn't give an opinion, and Fang Rushan didn't ask for his opinion, but just wanted to ask him to contribute some more money.

"Hearing what Tang Zun means, the emperor has sent people to the south to handle food, collect money, and supervise river repairs?"

"Exactly! Sigh, I don't know how many people are staring at this fat job in Jinghai County. Leaving aside the matter of promotion, if I can stay re-elected, I will burn my incense."

"Tang Zun's words are serious! The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge!"

Fang Rushan nodded, but still did not give up and said: "It's better to kill in anger!"

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and answered 'Yes! '

……

When Qin Wubing walked out of the county office, he saw Xiaofu and the others, he walked in front with his hands behind his back, Xiaofu chased after him and asked cautiously, "Seventh Young Master, Jiang Tang..."

"I drank it!"

Xiaofu quickly poured out the ginger soup in the soup cup, and Xiaoer immediately asked, "Rainwear?"

"I used it!"

Xiao Ershu let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "Seventh Young Master, are you in a bad mood? Have you been blackmailed by the county magistrate again?"

Qin Wubing let out a long sigh and said: "I don't know how many poor people in and out of the city are crying for hunger and cold, selling themselves for food and clothing but not getting it! But the officials and lords in the government office only want to get promoted and get rich!"

"Seventh Young Master, you have done enough for the people of Jinghai. You spend your money up and down, just to seek justice for the people. If you want to kill the people, if the emperor is as sympathetic as you are, he will not use these people. Be an officer!"

"You don't dare to say that nonsense! You are good at fighting, but you don't know how to be an official! This Fang Rushan, knowing that I am most concerned about the truth of the crime, wants to use the crime of killing in anger. This is to force me to agree to help him with money. Security officer!"

"The Seventh Young Master agreed again?" Xiaoer asked anxiously.

"What is it again! It seems that the young master has always been deceived before."

Xiao Fu hurriedly said:

"Catchers don't have any salary. In the past, who didn't make a living by accepting bribes or even extorting money when they were on errands? After the seventh young master became a fast catcher, he paid for it out of his own pocket... To be honest, the seventh young master doesn't blame the second and third bedrooms, The fourth room and the others are not happy, among the adult males in the family, only the seventh young master can only go out and not in."

Qin Wubing turned his head to look at Xiao Fu and Xiao Er, who were a few years older than him, and asked, "You two think I'm useless?"

"That's not true! What the Seventh Young Master did was to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Not to mention doing justice for the heavens, it's the same. It's just that not everyone is grateful. Why bother to take advantage of others and let yourself be scolded."

Qin Wubing pondered for a moment before saying: "Fatty Fang is a bit greedy, but at least allow me to investigate the case properly. Who knows what will happen to someone else? You can talk about these things in front of me, don't tell others!"

"I'm not stupid!" Xiaofu muttered.

Qin Wubing turned his head and glanced at the naive Xiaofu, he laughed twice and asked, "Aren't you stupid to learn how to compose poetry like a literati?"

"Seventh Young Master, don't mention this matter again!"

"My younger sister is pretty. My elder brother looks at it in secret. When he smiles, it looks like a flower blooms. When he smiles, there are several bees buzzing. His whole body is covered in bruises. He mistakenly attracts mosquitoes, but when he scratches, it really irritates him."

"Xiao Er!" Xiao Fu was anxious.

Qin Wubing laughed and asked, "Did Cuiju agree to you?"

"My good young master, if the old lady knows about this, Aster, Aster will have no way out!"

Qin Wubing hurriedly said: "I will tell my grandmother tomorrow to promise you the aster! How old are you all!"

"What if she doesn't want to?"

"I'll show your poems to grandma!"

Qin Wubing was just making a joke, Xiaofu's legs were already trembling with fright, Qin Wubing quickly patted Xiaofu and said: "You haven't improved at all over the years, am I kidding and you still can't tell. "

Xiaofu let out a long sigh of relief.

"Dongxiang said that Cuiju had secretly told her that she wanted to find someone who had studied, otherwise Xiaofu would not be able to hold back such a poem." Xiao Er explained for Xiaofu.

Xiaofu lowered his head.

Qin Wubing sighed, he didn't sigh because of Xiaofu, but suddenly realized a truth, it wasn't that Xiaofu didn't make progress, but that he hadn't fully accepted everything here!When he left the four of Holmes, he said that he didn't need them to serve him, and he didn't need them to be obedient in front of him. Because of his insistence, the four of Holmes were beaten more than once, and he could only compromise.

The compromises were not limited to these, when Qin Wubing returned to the compound, his mother Li Shi was waiting in his courtyard.
