The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 116
He Jin and Shen Yan came out of the county government office, dejected.They were not blind, so how could they not see that the magistrate was cold and deliberately delayed.

The two of them were sitting on a stone by the river. He Jin picked up a stone and threw it into the river. "This dog officer, when I went to the capital before, I asked him to provide guidance, but he always resisted. Now we are doing things according to the Holy Spirit's will, and he It’s still so hard to talk.”

Ana Shen lowered his head and fiddled with the dirt on the ground, "He only shows off to powerless people like us. In the past, when Squire Zhao celebrated his birthday, he clearly didn't send him an invitation, so he went over to congratulate him."

He Jin threw another stone into the water, which made a "dong" sound and caused splashes on the river.He stood up with his hands on his hips, "Let's wait and see. If he refuses like this tomorrow, we will think of other ways."

"it is good."

He Jin returned home and found someone waiting for him.He Jin was overjoyed and bowed briefly, "Brother Zichang."

The visitor's name was Wei Zichang, a deputy lieutenant who helped He Jin transport grain.He Jin wanted to bring half the county's grain back, so naturally he couldn't escort it by himself.These soldiers were holding grains and walked more slowly.They went to the county town yesterday and put grain seeds into the granary. Wei Zichang came to see He Jin today.

"It's really strange. There are all bare trees in your village and they don't sprout!"

He Jin smiled bitterly, "It's good to have trees, which means they still have enough firewood in winter. As for those leaves and sprouts, of course the people took them home and ate them."

Wei Zichang asked in surprise: "Can this be eaten?"

"As long as it doesn't kill anyone, you can eat anything."

Wei Zi often sighed, "They planted corn this year, so they don't have to eat tree bark anymore."

Seeing He Jin's frown, he asked again: "What's wrong? Is there anything difficult?"

He Jin told him about the magistrate's performance.

Wei Zi often gritted his teeth and said, "If I were an imperial envoy, I would chop off his head."

He Jin said: "We will go find him tomorrow. If he still refuses, please help Brother Zichang to act in a play for me."

Wei Zichang was very curious, but He Jin kept silent.

The next day, He Jin and Shen Yan met again at the gate of the county government office. Shen Yan expressed her bitterness when she saw him, "Yesterday I went home and heard that many people went to the county town to buy millet seeds. I told them that the Holy Father wanted us to teach They grew corn. Some people were doubtful and asked Li Zheng, who said that there was no such thing. Then Song Ji Liangfang also said that the magistrate did not know about corn at all, so that the people could grow millet without worry. "

"Not only did that damn dog officer not help us, he also tripped us up behind our backs!"

The two people went to the county government office to seek justice, but the magistrate's attitude towards them was the same as yesterday.When they asked about Song Ji Liangfang, the magistrate firmly denied it.

"How can I do this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen? Don't make false accusations against me with empty words."

Shen Yan asked back: "If you hadn't colluded with Songji Grain Shop, how come he was the only one selling grain seeds in the entire county, and you still refused to call Li Zheng over?"

The magistrate looked calm, "I am busy with my affairs, so you should be grateful for being able to spare time to see you. Among those who are upright, who is as free as you? You asked me to summon them, and I also sent someone to tell them. , after all, we have to wait until they finish the work at hand."

"When are they coming?"

The magistrate is now using delaying tactics, asking questions and kicking the ball away, asking, "How did I know?"

He Jin and Shen Yan held back their anger and wished they could fight with the magistrate now. They heard the magistrate continue to say, "Although Li Zheng cannot come for the time being, you can go to the village to teach the people. This is not a conflict." Shen Yan said angrily: "We have neither fame nor official positions. How can they listen to us?"

The magistrate's attitude sounded like a sincere suggestion, but the content of his words sounded particularly harsh, "Don't you have an imperial edict?"

Ana Shen endured it again and again, but still wanted to take action. He Jin grabbed him and said, "Let's go."

Seeing that they were really angry, the magistrate didn't want to make things happen. "Although I don't know when Li Zheng will come, I am willing to send someone to urge them again. You can come back and have a look in the future."

Ana Shen was filled with anger, gritted her teeth, turned her face to one side, and closed her eyes to calm down.

After a while, he clenched his fists again and said: "Let's not talk about whether you are treating us like monkeys, but the day after tomorrow is coming. The people should have bought grain seeds long ago, can they still return it?"

The magistrate pretended to look guilty and said, "It's my fault that I am incompetent. I couldn't let Li Zheng rush here quickly, and I couldn't let Song Ji Grain Shop sell grain seeds. However, it would have been better if you had come earlier. How could Zheng It’s time to catch up.”

If it had been before, He Jin would have blamed himself for being late.But after reading the letter Zheng Wenping left for him, He Jin didn't think so.The magistrate was obviously deliberately making things difficult, and it was useless even if they came early.

He retorted loudly: "The county magistrate said that we are late. It is better to think more about the starving ghosts in our county while eating delicious food and covering the brocade Luo Qi."

Ana Shen was pulled out of the county office by He Jin, with anger still lingering on his face, "Dog officer!"

He Jin whispered a few words to him, and Ana Shen's eyes immediately lit up.

He Jin took the opportunity to go to the county station to find Wei Zichang and told him his plan.Wei Zichang looked at He Jin as if he were looking at a wily fox.

On that day, Wei Zichang led a group of soldiers to surround Song Ji Liangfang.When the people saw a group of people wearing armor, they were terrified. Some had already run away, while others stood on the ground and did not dare to move.

Shopkeeper Song from Songji Liangfang came out in a hurry. He didn't know where he had offended the officers and soldiers, and he bowed repeatedly.

Wei Zichang said: "We are ordered by the Holy One to escort corn seeds to the people. If you know the signs, do as we say. If you don't know the signs, we will not embarrass you. Brothers, when you are tired of escorting the seeds, rest at the gate of your grain house. rest."

On this cold day, Shopkeeper Song is sweating.How can these officers and soldiers do business on their own if they don't leave the grain mill?Moreover, he really didn't know about corn planting, and the county magistrate didn't tell him anything. Now that he said it was because of the Holy Spirit's will, he could only listen to him continue talking.

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Wei Zi softened his tone and said, "To which people did you sell grain seeds earlier? Send someone to tell them that the original Xianxian County promised to advance part of the payment, so your grain seeds were sold at a low price. Now the county magistrate does not If you are willing, you have no choice but to charge more money. If someone is unwilling to pay more, they can also exchange millet seeds for corn seeds."

If he were forced to stop selling, or forced to take back the millet seeds, Shopkeeper Song would definitely be unwilling.Now let him charge more money, or exchange it for their seeds.The worst outcome is no loss of money, and the best outcome is to ask for more money. Shopkeeper Song is a little tempted.

He Jin added: "If you do this well, I can let you sell corn seeds on my behalf in the future. By then, you will be a serious person working for the housekeeper."

After following Zheng Qiuyun for a long time, He Jin also learned how to draw pie.
