I don't want to fight anymore

Shanyun County Yamen.

The former Zhai Butou is now a high-ranking county magistrate, in charge of the grain department and tax collection.He didn't even dare to dream of this before. To be able to make a fortune is because there is smoke on his family's ancestral grave.

Unexpectedly, the adults pushed him to the seat of the county magistrate. He would never be able to repay this kindness in his life.

"Yi'an, do you think your lord is in the capital now?" Zhai Yougui looked at Song Yi'an.

Today's Song Yi'an is different. Under Wen Jiuxiao's care, he was not as talented as his younger brother, not only passed the examination as a scholar, but also became a master of juren. Now he is the chief bookkeeper, in charge of household registration and patrolling.

It is more reasonable and reasonable for Song Yi'an, who has a reputation for raising people, to be the county magistrate, but Wen Jiuxiao has his considerations.Zhai Yougui was the first to follow him, his loyalty was unquestionable, and he himself was not bad in character or ability.Wen Jiuxiao is also a human being, so it is natural to consider his own people first.

Furthermore, Zhai Yougui has a small family and doesn't even have close relatives, so it's easier to control such a person.The Song family is a big family, good and bad members of the clan, if Song Yi'an is allowed to have too much power, Wen Jiuxiao is afraid that the Song family will become the tyrant in Shanyun County.

This is by no means unfounded worry, whether it is the head of the Song family or the scholar of the Song family, Wen Jiuxiao doesn't have a very good impression of them.People are so stupid, who knows what kind of trouble they can cause?So the lethality is extraordinarily large.

Like that Song Lixian, who had a great future, got mixed up with a beautiful little widow, and was caught and raped by the little widow's husband's family.

You say that you are a scholar, young, good-looking, and of good background, what kind of wife can't you marry?Do you have to mess with a little widow?Isn't it stupid?
After all, Song Yi'an was still dragged down by his family.

"How can it be so fast? My lord has been away for seventeen days, so he should be halfway." Song Yi'an said.

"Oh, it's only seventeen days?" Zhai Yougui was surprised, "Why do I feel that your lord has been away for a long time?"

"That's right, it's the seventeenth day. I counted it clearly." Song Yi'an said with certainty, lowering his eyes, "To tell you the truth, I also have the illusion that my lord has been away for a long time." He is still used to calling Zhai Yougui Zhai head.

The two looked at each other, then looked away again.Although neither spoke, the mood was the same.

When Master Wen left, they seemed to have lost their backbone.In the past, when Lord Wen was around, they would do everything with confidence and courage, because Lord Wen told them, don't be afraid, he will take care of everything that happens.

That's what Master Wen said, and he did the same. They have never had any worries.

The new county magistrate... It's not that the new county magistrate is bad, but that they don't adapt to the new county magistrate's behavior style.

Song Yi'an, who was urged by his family to find an errand for his second brother, regretted it even more. If he had known, he would have gone with Master Wen. He was different from Zhai Tou. The Ministry found an errand.

He doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to work under Mr. Wen, his wife, children and family are harmonious and beautiful, is it better than the current mess at home?

It's a pity that it's too late to regret!
Wen Jiuxiao, who was missed by the two of them, was walking on the Zhangshui River. The Zhanghe River was flowing fast. Not only were there many eddies, but also many forked rivers. This section of water had to be crossed by a good boatman, and most people would choose to avoid it.

But as long as you pass this section, you can save a three-day journey, which is very cost-effective for Wen Jiuxiao who is in a hurry to return to Beijing.

The people of the Cao Gang sailed with all their energy, and they didn't even notice that someone was staring at them in the dark.

"See clearly, are they?"

"It's them. They docked at the last pier. I sneaked in and inquired. The master's family is a small official from the south, and he went to Beijing to take up his post."

"Let's go, go back and report to the master."

There is a group of water bandits on the Zhanghe River, named Jiaolongzhai. There are seven or eight hundred brothers and more than 100 boats, and all of them are good at water.They criss-crossed the Zhang River and robbed passing ships, which caused a headache for the local government.

After listening to the report, the head of the family thought for a while, and asked people to summon the brothers.The second leader showed hesitation, "Brother, although our Jiaolong Village has a lot of power, it might be inappropriate to confront the Cao Gang."

Who doesn't know that the Cao Gang is the overlord of the water, and there are more than ten thousand gang members.In front of the behemoth Caobang, the small Jiaolong Village is simply not enough to look at.

The head of the family disagreed, "Who said we were going to fight against the Cao Gang? Who knew we did it? There are so many dark eddies in the Zhang River, maybe they were unlucky and got sucked in. There are only three boats, afraid of a ball!"

The second leader is still worried, "Brother, that man is an official of the imperial court, let's..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the boss, who glared at him impatiently, and said sarcastically, "Second brother, how did you become so timid? It's not like we haven't been robbed of being an official in the past. When did something happen? Besides, he is just a small county magistrate in a remote village, and he hasn’t moved his nest for eight years. No one would care about such a small official.”

"But, brother, I'm in a state of panic and panic. I always feel like something is going to happen. Brother, there are only three ships. Didn't you say that they came from poor places to get petty officials? I guess there is nothing valuable on board. or we won’t do this business?” He tried to stop it.

"Why are you so troublesome today, you are a bitch. Are you flustered because you tossed hard last night? Didn't you get a new beauty? How long has it taken you to be empty? Ah, haha!" There was a hint of teasing in the smile, "Don't worry, second brother. I promise to clean it up and nothing will happen."

He patted his second brother on the shoulder, his expression suddenly straightened, "Besides, the deposit has already been collected. That's what they mean. Not only do we have to do it, but we also have to do it beautifully."

Erdang's complexion changed, he opened his mouth, and said after a long time: "Brother, I understand."

The head of the family patted him on the shoulder again, "Go, since you are worried and careful, you will take the brothers this time."

"Okay!" The second master cupped his fists and went down to get ready.

An important reason why Jiaolongzhai can dominate the Zhanghe River so arrogantly is that they have a backer and can get the government's movements in a timely manner.Of course, they have also worked hard for their superiors. This is not the first time and it will not be the last time such a private matter like today.

It's a pity that they were unlucky, they met Wen Jiuxiao and Yu Zhi, they were destined to fall to the iron plate, and they were also doomed to the destruction of Jiaolongzhai.

The head of the family, he received the news that he had assassinated a small official from the southernmost region. If he knew that this "small official" had come to Beijing to take over the post of Minister of the Household Department, he would not dare to rob him even if he was under pressure from above. ah!

It's a pity that it's too late!
