The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 13

Feihu County is considered a large county in the north, and it is usually busy with business affairs. When Geng Qing entered, the busy officials and officials looked at him with strange eyes and walked straight to the court. After a while, he came out again in embarrassment. It turned out that the court was open on weekdays The place where the case is tried, and the county magistrate, master book, county lieutenant, and county magistrate all handle official documents in the side courtyard.

There are several houses in the side yard, with words such as county magistrate and county lieutenant hanging in front of the door. Geng Qing wanted to find them one by one, but within a few steps, he ran into a patrolling yamen servant. Seeing his clothes, age, and being an important public house, Stopped in the past and rushed back to the crescent gate of the side courtyard for questioning.

"Young Gengjia villager, you are not a villain. You just came in from the main gate. If you don't believe me, you can ask the two guards at the gate."

Seeing the young man in the village smiling politely, the yamen servants were not in a hurry to arrest him, and nodded: "We will ask, but why did you come here? If there is a lawsuit to be tried, you can submit a complaint to the chief clerk."

"I don't have any disputes or enmity, but I just want to find the county magistrate for something important."

Several people saw that he answered fluently, and he was not like ordinary people in the village. Some of them said: "Okay, then you are not allowed to move around, wait here, I will go to the county to see if I have time to see you."

Geng Qing hurriedly cupped his hands to thank him, and stood outside the Crescent Gate, watching the yamen servant go to a door in the side yard with the head of his knife pressed, knocked a few times, someone came out from inside, said something to him, and then the yamen servant He went straight to the back hall.

The back hall is mostly the place where the county magistrate’s family lives, and there are also servants and maidservants passing by. When the yamen servant came, the chubby county magistrate was wearing an official robe, and the fabric was stretched tightly, leaving circles and circles. Around ten, with a fair face and no beard, he was holding the brewed tea and blowing hot air, and with a serious expression, he pressed his hands to the handsome young man on the opposite side of the seat.

"An Sibing sit down and talk, there is no need to stand up, the county is approachable, there is no airs, please sit down."

Here, Geng Qing would definitely recognize that this young man was the little general whom he had seen at the gate of the city before.

An Jingsi, who was in front of the side seat, arched his hands together: "Xie the county lord for bestowing the seat, I don't know if the county lord called the humble official over here, is there anything else?"

"Of course there is, but first sit down and talk." The county magistrate nodded with a smile, raised his hand to let the servants in the back hall serve another cup of tea, praised him a few words, and then asked the young man about the progress of arresting the assassin.

"The county also heard about the assassin two days ago. The county lieutenant was injured. How is the city now?"

An Jingsi is only a young man, he was recruited from the mountains to work in the yamen for more than a year, and he still doesn't understand many things, but he also knows that the county magistrate doesn't have much power. He was aggrieved, and then slowly realized that the county magistrate did not have any outstanding skills, so he was dismissed by the highly skilled county lieutenant and his brother, the leader of the Golden Knife Gang, and could only deal with official documents in the yamen.

But what young people should respect, they will still respect, maintain etiquette, stand up and arch their hands towards the first person.

"Reporting to the county lord, the assassins are good at hiding, and their martial arts are not weak. Right now, the county lieutenant is searching everywhere, and it won't be long before they come."

The county magistrate chuckled twice, nodded approvingly, got up and went to hold the boy's hands.

"Those assassins are really irritating and irritating. They made the county lieutenant work hard. An Sibing, you have to pay more attention, don't get hurt."

"Xie Xianzun cares about it. I'm just doing my job in a humble position." An Jingsi lowered his face, took a step back, and raised his hands again: "The county lord is busy with work, so don't bother me with a lowly position. Let's go ahead."

"go Go!"

The fat county magistrate waved his hand at him with a smile, walked to the threshold and watched the other party turn the corner and leave, the smile slowly subsided, and returned to the first place, he took out a copy of "Three Kingdoms" from the desk drawer and read it with saliva. There was a doubtful whisper between his lips.

"Why is the effect different from that used by Liu Xuande in the book?"Is it the wrong person? '

Outside, a voice called out: "Xianzun!"

The fat county magistrate turned his face to look at it, quickly corrected his expression, put the book on the table seriously, sat up straight, and called in the yamen servant who was bowing his hands outside the door.

"What's going on in Huanben County?"

In the hall, the yamen servant folded his hands and lowered his face, "I would like to report to the county lord, there are people from Niujiaji Gengjia village outside, and I want to see the county lord face to face on important matters."

"Who can see this county? See you there!"

The county magistrate waved his hands again and again, held the book again for a moment, sighed and put it back, stopped the yamen servant who had walked out of the threshold, and coughed twice, "There is nothing important in this county. It's okay to see him. Wouldn't it be cold for the people of Feihu County to find me in a hurry but not see me?!"

After saying that, he tidied up his appearance and asked the yamen servant to lead the way to the side courtyard of the yamen.Over there, Geng Qing, who was waiting outside the Crescent Gate, was also summoned by the returning yamen servant. Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to see him, he quickly thanked him and followed him inside.

In just forty or fifty steps, Geng Qing inquired about the county magistrate's happiness and anger from this talkative yamen servant. The latter thought he was afraid of getting angry and causing trouble, so he didn't hide it, so he said something about the county magistrate's temperament with a smile. Then he came to a door and made a report.

"Xianzun, the person has been brought."

After a while, Zhongzheng's majestic voice came from inside: "Let him in."

With a soft creaking sound, the yamen servant opened the door to let Geng Qing in. Inside, there was a long table full of official documents, and a fat man in an official robe sat behind, correcting the official documents with a pen.

The door was closed, and the nib wandering over there also stopped. The county magistrate raised his round face and looked at the dark young man in front of him, "The people below said, are you looking for something important in this county?"

According to the part of the plan made last night, it is naturally an important matter. Geng Qing hurriedly put the burden on his shoulders, gently put it on the table, and there was a "dong" sound, and then he untied it, and dozens of ingots of silver rolled out of it immediately. .

The county magistrate looked straight, quickly shook his round face, put the pen on the inkstone, frowned and looked at the young man.

"What do you mean? If there is any grievance, you can come to this county to listen to it. Why do you have such a bribery act? This county is not a corrupt person."

"The county lord's eyes are sharp, and he never favors others. How dare a small one come to bribe and tarnish the reputation of the county lord."

Geng Qing waved his hands again and again, seeing the county magistrate loosen his brows and a little smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he quickly explained the purpose of this trip to him.

"Qixian County, the small Gengjia Village has guarded dozens of acres of land for many years. Many people's land deeds are torn, and many holes have even been bitten by rats and insects. If someone seizes the land in the future, we If you take out these land deeds, you can't be the master."

The long table slammed, and the county magistrate showed an angry face.

"This county sits in Feihu, adhering to the imperial court's order. There are countless designated acres. Who dares to take it by force?!"

"Just in case."

Geng Qing gently pushed the pile of silver taels towards the county magistrate, and said with a smile, "So... this silver tael is what is needed to renew the new land deed, county lord, are you right?"

　Don't dislike the slowness, because I am writing two books, so it is a bit slow. After recommending this book, I will see the effect. The effect is good, and there are many people who read it. I will update this book
