The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14
"right"

The candlelight was flickering, and the county magistrate was a little dizzy under the white silver light. When he came back to his senses, he glanced at the door and window from the corner of his eye, and straightened his face: "No, even if you change the land deed in Gengjia Village, what's the use of it?" Hugh has to fool the county with so much money, so hurry up and take it back."

But those eyes that didn't seem to be opened were still staring straight at the pile of pleasing things on the table.

Geng Qing stood there motionless, seeing the county magistrate's expression, leaned forward slightly, took the lamp from the corner of the table, moved it to the middle, and pressed it on a piece of official document.

"Please look at the magistrate."

He spread out one hand, and under the light of the candlelight, he bent down one finger at a time, ". All the land leases in a village have been renewed, and the number of copies that need to be copied is as large as it needs to be. It must be paid for by the official seal. It’s money to use too much ink pad, and the pawns in the yamen work so hard, they also reward and reward, the county respects the law and enforce the law, staying up late for the villagers like me and hurting the body, don’t you need to buy some supplements? Counting all the miscellaneous things, it’s almost enough.”

As a senior salesman in the previous life, gift-giving is a basic skill. The county magistrate over there watched him list them one by one in different ways, each corresponding to an expense, as if it was really the same thing. His whole body stunned.

'When did I work so hard, why don't I know? '

Unknowingly, his hand followed Geng Qing's words to take the table, put the 50 circles in his arms, for a moment, pursed his lips and nodded to Geng Qing in approval, stood up with a smile and looked out of the window.

"Well, what you said is right. Replacing the land deed does require so much expense. You are so concerned about this county and the officials in the yamen. How can this county make the people of Gengjia Village feel bad, come here!"

The county magistrate turned around and yelled at the door, within a moment, a yamen servant came over and stood still: "What orders does the magistrate have?"

"Let all the clerks of the yamen put down their business for the time being, look through the number of acres and names in the Gengjia Village, and copy and record the land deed, which should be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

As soon as the yamen servant left, the county magistrate shook his sleeves in an air, sat back behind the table, and looked at the young man across from him with a smile.

"Early tomorrow morning, the county will send someone to escort you all the way back to the village, to ensure that there will be no obstacles on the way."

"The little one thanked the county magistrate for taking care of Gengjia Village, and the county honored Feihu County as an official. It is really a blessing for us and the poor people." This chubby county magistrate has a few wrinkles on his round smiling face, but there is one more thing that the other party may think of later, so it's better to tell the truth now.

After thinking for a while, Geng Qing stopped, and arched his hands again, "Xianzun, there is one more thing."

"What else?"

Over there, Geng Qing came over and pointed to the silver ingot he was playing with.

"Xianzun, in fact, this property is not mine, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the county magistrate held the silver ingots, waved them around, and interrupted: "This county has known for a long time that you, a farmer in a mountain village, have so many silver taels, but it doesn't matter, now they are all local. It belongs to the Yamen."

His tone paused, and he glanced at Geng Qing with narrow eyes.

"Whose did it belong to?"

"Niujiaji, Mr. Liu's."

Dou Da's flames swayed slightly, shining on half of Geng Qing's face, he spoke in an unhurried tone, and told the county magistrate the truth, and of course he explained everything thoroughly.

"When the time comes, that Mr. Liu knows that the county venerable is behind to help. As long as the younger one is still there, he will definitely establish a relationship with the county venerable and give more gifts."

A fat sheep, a mountain hare, as long as they have a little brain, how can they choose the wrong one?What's more, with Geng Qing carrying it in front, the county magistrate only needs to sit in the yamen and knock twice intentionally or unintentionally, and he can get a lot of money.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the county magistrate touched his bare chin and smiled approvingly.

"wonderful!"

Xiaguang draped in the streets and alleys to outline a faint yellow outline. Soon, Geng Qing came out of the yamen refreshed, greeted the yamen guards on both sides, and walked down the steps with a smile. Although it was a bit dangerous, when he came, he probably The county magistrate's temperament and ability have been guessed.

Otherwise, he would not be ostracized and become an idle official. Often such people urgently need to prove themselves and are also extremely greedy for money.

Furthermore, climbing up to this level of relationship and leaving the impression of being useful can only be of great benefit to Geng Qing, who is now poor and white. After all, there are people in the yamen who are good at doing things.

After quick calculation for a while, before he could get out of the yamen, a fast horse galloped past him. An officer stopped the horse, and before he could stop, he got off the horse and ran into the county yamen in a hurry. There was a burst of noise, and a group of guards and policemen ran out in several teams carrying water and fire sticks and swordsmen.

Geng Qing looked at the county magistrate telling them, then walked back, arched his hands: "Xianzun, what's wrong with the yamen?"

"The assassination of those two days."

Seeing that it was Geng Qing, the county magistrate nodded solemnly, said something casually, and sent him away quickly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Just finish the matter at hand. Hurry up and find an inn to stay overnight. Come to the yamen tomorrow morning and take the land deed back to the village."

Here, Geng Qing didn't say much, he said "yes", and then he said goodbye and walked out of the long street of Yamen.

At this time, the sky has darkened, and the cold spring has not yet gone. The street lights extend along the corners of the shop eaves, and each vendor extinguishes the charcoal fire in the furnace, and gathers the stalls and shouts the last cry.

"The last two mutton pancakes. Buy one and get one free." "Chunhan, lamb bone soup, I bought the pancakes next door, and paired them with my bowl of hot soup. I wake up with a raised mattress in the morning and sleep soundly with a stiff neck at night!"

While the long street was getting quieter, Geng Qing was hungry for a long time, took advantage of the fast closing stall and bought a mutton pie, another one for nothing, then bought a bowl of hot soup next door, just squatted on the side of the street and took a bite , Hululu took a sip, and let out a satisfied "Ah—" and suddenly felt indescribably comfortable.

At the same time as he let out a long sigh, the peddler who was cleaning up the stall suddenly looked at the end of the street, amidst the dim light of the lantern in the distance, and subconsciously murmured: "What's the sound over there?"

There was a loud bang, and the next moment, a figure smashed towards the street shop like a cannonball. The lantern under the eaves shook and fell to the ground, and the flame spread instantly. Within the illuminated area, a pair of light blue cloth shoes, And the slender figure quickly came here.

"She's over there!" "Hurry up!"

Noisy voices resounded through the street. Behind that figure, figures holding torches and holding swords came out of the nearby streets and alleys after hearing the news.

Seeing the figure running towards this side, Geng Qing almost spat out the mutton bone soup, and quickly put his arms around the soup hanging on his chin, "This woman has a feud with the county captain, so she is so determined to kill her." other side?Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't see it, and I won't even lose a single head if I get into trouble. '

Hastily served the bowl, got up with the pancakes and turned around, however, the woman over there seemed to have seen him, she dodged, kicked to the wooden pillars on the nearby street, jumped over here, and handed over a dagger in her sleeve , pressing on the back of Geng Qing's neck.

"Find a way to help me!"

"Here we go again."

Geng Qing turned around and looked at the woman in the black scarf and the knife in front of her.

"Is this called helping you?"

The peddler who was cleaning up the stall over there seemed not to have seen this scene, and continued to pack his belongings. The sound of footsteps in the distance was getting closer, and Geng Qing didn't dare to bet. He glanced around and hurried to the side of the hawker, and took the basket. Come over and tell the woman to squat down.

"You..." The woman stared at her beautiful eyes, and was pulled over and pressed to the ground, covered by the basket, Geng Qing sat on top of her head and lowered her voice.

"It's my bad luck to meet you! Don't talk."

Tat T T T T T T T T T T T H A sound of messy footsteps spread over, and the surrounding torches illuminated the surroundings. All the soldiers from the county town and the police officers of the Yamen hurried past here with weapons. Asked to see suspicious people.

The peddler was stunned for a moment, subconsciously about to look at the basket, Geng Qing frowned, and sternly shouted at him.

"What's there to see? It's getting dark, so we quickly packed up our belongings and went back."

"Oh"

The peddler continued to pack up the pots and pans, and the soldiers who asked the question could not ask anything, so they had to follow the others to the next street.

As soon as the man left, Geng Qing was lifted and sat on the ground as soon as he lightened his body. The woman stood up with the basket on her back, looked at the young man on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and went to help him up to apologize.

"Forget it, let's go."

Geng Qing waved his hand. He didn't want to get too involved with this woman. The latter probably understood what the young man meant, so he pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry." Go to the nearby alley.

Here, as soon as the people left, the peddler took back his own bowl, pushed the wheelbarrow and left quickly, leaving Geng Qing standing alone on the street for a long time, and simply found a corner to sit down, a little lost in thought.

The night clouds reveal half a clear moon,

The wind blew across the long street, and a thin mist rose from the ground. There was a bang bang beating sound, and the faint cry of arresting the assassin was still coming from afar.

Feeling the coolness, Geng Qing folded his arms and moved towards the corner again.

"I didn't expect that I would live on the street one day. If those villagers are ungrateful, then I'm really sorry, Achoo!"

He buried his head and sneezed, and when he lifted it up, the lantern under the eaves shook suddenly, showing a figure standing there not far away, which made Geng Qing stunned for a moment, and in an instant, the figure approached the range of the fire, it was the one wearing the black scarf Girl, she threw a quilt over and covered Geng Qing.

"I saw a quilt hanging outside, no one wanted it, and"

The woman's voice hesitated for a moment, then added a sentence as thin as a mosquito's voice: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Geng Qing was cold, so naturally he didn't want to be polite to her, wrapped the quilt around his body, patted the side, "This quilt is still quite big, come together."

"lecher!"

The woman couldn't see her face and expression clearly, her exposed eyes turned white towards him, and she still came and sat next to her, but she didn't intend to cover her with him.

"Aren't you the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes? There are so many constraints."

Geng Qing pulled a corner of the quilt to cover the other party, the latter opened his hands, still took the quilt and put it on his legs, then leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"You have a feud with that county lieutenant?" Geng Qing moved in the quilt, turned to look at the other side, the woman over there just closed her eyes, breathing evenly and slowly slightly, as if she was really asleep .

There was a sudden cry.

"This person is domineering, and the fish and meat people can't see it, so he will naturally kill him!"

"So that's the case, hehe, I'll kill you."

Geng Qing said something, folded his arms and turned in one direction, cursing in his heart: "Crazy." Leaning against the wall, he tilted his head and closed his eyes, thinking about something, and fell asleep in a daze.
