A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 141 Chapter 141

All I saw was a woman with a slight smile sitting upright in the solemn lobby. After a moment of anger, Chen Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking of something but stood there without saying a word.

Several officials following him saw An Chuxia straighten his back, sitting on the seat under the mirror, and angrily shouted: "Who are you? You are so courageous, why don't you get out of here quickly.

That's a position that our county magistrates can only do. What are you, a little girl, why don't you get down on your knees and receive the punishment! "

An Chuxia stared at them with clear eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Forgive me for being ignorant, but I heard that the mirror hangs high in the lobby of the county government office, and only the magistrate sitting here can be justified!

I haven't heard of when this position was the county magistrate, so it's only natural to sit here. "

The tax collector who brought them here stood beside a middle-aged man with a long face and a mustache. He should be the master of the county government.

Behind him was a group of Yamen servants who raised their voices.

That master was obviously very shrewd, he looked at An Chuxia who was sitting in the lobby without saying a word, as a master, he also knew that the county magistrate sent by the imperial court should arrive during this time.

An Chuxia raised the corners of her lips and looked at the people below. She knew that Chen Xiancheng with a gloomy face and the master with a tricky face should have guessed her identity.

She still said with a careless face: "Why don't I write a letter to the Ministry of Officials in the capital to ask if the court changed the law when the law was changed? I don't know and I don't know!"

Chen Qingshan and Master Hu looked at each other when they heard this, and they both frowned. Only they knew the meaning in their eyes.

Master Gou Gou Yuantong hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "I heard that the girl can write letters to the Ministry of Officials, but who is the girl?"

An Chuxia naturally chose to sit in this position, and she didn't intend to play tricks on them anymore, so she calmly took out the letter of appointment and showed it to them.

Chen Qingshan carefully read the letter of appointment issued by the officials, and then reluctantly led the crowd to salute the newly appointed county magistrate An Chuxia.

"I don't know that my lord came to take office today, and I have lost my way. Please forgive me!"

An Chuxia waved her hands at them, and didn't care about it.

She asked An Zixi to put the bucket that the tax collector had forgotten to bring back, or left it there, in the middle of the lobby and asked, "Master Chen, do you think this bucket is different?"

Chen Qingshan was startled and stared fiercely. The official who collected the grain tax took a look and blamed him for leaving such a special big fight in the hands of outsiders.

How should he answer now, but after all, Chen Qingshan has been in the Yamen for so many years, and he has already mastered the ability to talk nonsense with mud and open eyes.

I just heard him say: "The low-level official has poor eyesight, and I rarely see a weighing bucket, so I don't think there is any difference!"

Hearing what Chen Qingshan said, An Chuxia knew that he was trying to shirk responsibility. I'm afraid it would be impossible to trip him up with this matter.

Fortunately, An Chuxia also presided over official affairs in the government office for a period of time, and has seen such things as back and forth.

Chen Qingshan had been the county magistrate in Wei County for so many years, and An Chuxia didn't naively think that he could trip him up as soon as he came up.

"Oh, I see!
I don't know how these buckets are weighed, but when I was passing by Yuande Village, I saw the tax collectors and the villagers quarreling over the payment of grain taxes.

I heard that the villagers weighed the bucket at home and used the bucket in front of us to pay the tax, but the grain tax was reduced by a total of eleven buckets. Do you think it is strange? "

Gritting his teeth, Chen Qing'an's expression changed a few times before he replied, "Maybe the villagers made a mistake in weighing, or maybe the officials took the wrong bucket when collecting taxes."

An Chuxia smiled coldly in her heart, these words must have blocked her from both ends!
No matter where the original mistake was, anyway, he picked himself clean.

An Chuxia still asked in a silly and sweet manner: "But the villagers said that this is not the first time such a thing has happened.

In previous years, they used standard buckets at home to weigh the grain taxes to be paid. Every time the tax collectors used the buckets brought by the government, the weighing was not enough as it is today.

Could it be that you have been in charge of Wei County for so many years, and the county magistrate of all affairs has not noticed at all. "

Chen Qing'an was speechless for a while when asked by An Chuxia. If he said he didn't know, it meant that his ability was limited and he didn't have the ability to manage the affairs of a county.

If he said he knew it, it would be an admission in disguise. He and those officials exploited the people together. This would be a crime, and he would only admit that he knew it if he was stupid.

Chen Qing'an had no choice but to grit his molars and said: "The officials are incompetent. I don't know that there are still people in the county government who are doing evil and persecuting the people for so many years."

The officials who brought An Chuxia and the others into the county government hall just now realized that An Chuxia was the new county magistrate, and they couldn't help being surprised when they heard the conversation between the two!
What the county magistrate said was to push those tax collectors out of the tank, and he was about to speak to defend himself.

Seeing the master's slender eyes looking at him viciously, the frightened official swallowed his saliva, and did not dare to step forward to argue for himself again.

They have done more bad things with Chen Xiancheng for so many years. If they say it easily, everyone will not feel better.

Besides, this county magistrate who just came to take office doesn't know how long a woman can be a county magistrate.

An Chuxia has a panoramic view of the expressions and movements of the people below. Some things are haste but waste. I have plenty of time to spend slowly with them, and the truth will always surface.

An Chuxia knew that Wei County was not far from the guard army of the border town. If the army's food was in short supply in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and the imperial army's food did not arrive in time, they would purchase food from these nearby places.

Originally, due to the geographical environment, the grain output in the entire northern Jibei City was not high, and the army, a large food consumer, was there. One can imagine how precious food is in this place.

This time, An Chuxia still handed over the matter of ordering a new batch of standard weighing buckets to Chen Qingshan, just because as the county magistrate, he was in charge of the grain department, and if he didn't hand it over to someone else, he was in charge of tax collection.

This time Dou'an Chuxia can guarantee that Chen Qing'an will not dare to do anything again. If Douzi becomes bigger this time, won't it prove that he knows about the fact that officials charged more food taxes to the people in the past.

If he made another mistake in the fight this time, he would have the nerve to sit in the county magistrate's position and not move.

An Chuxia proposed to arrest the former tax collectors for questioning.

He was stopped by Chen Qingshan and his master Gou Yuantong, the reason was that An Chuxia had just arrived, and he only heard the one-sided words of the people he met, so it was not enough to believe it, and it would not be too late to arrest him after the investigation was clear.

Hearing this, An Chuxia nodded in confusion, like a novice official who had never been baptized in the officialdom, and agreed with the two people.

Chen Qingshan and Gou Yuantong looked at each other with a hint of contempt in their eyes. This is a female nerd who was assigned to be a county magistrate in this kind of place after being admitted to the first prize. They were afraid that she would pull out some tricks.
