The struggle of the reborn prince

In the second hall of Gongzhou government office, Hou San knelt on the ground, the wound on his leg had been healed, but after kneeling for a long time, the wound was still oozing blood, listening to the sound of the board hitting him from outside the hall With the sound of 'cracking' and screams one after another, Hou San didn't dare to move.After escaping, he didn't dare to go back to Zhuangzi, and sent the young master directly to the mansion. After telling what had happened, the master was furious, and several people were hit by the board. He just saw that he was injured, so he was spared from kneeling here!

I don't know how long it took, the screams outside gradually became quieter, a yamen servant on duty came in and lit the candles in the hall, the prefect Chen Tang then entered the room, his face sank like water and he sat on the grand master's chair, the yamen servant carefully Serving tea, quietly backed out.

Chen Tang picked up the cup, skimmed the froth with the lid, sipped the tea lightly, looked at the kneeling people at his feet, the flame that had just been extinguished was burning again, his magistrate's son was beaten blue and his face was swollen, and he was frightened He peed his pants, how can he mess around in the officialdom in the future!The more he watched, the angrier he became, and he splashed tea on Hou San's face fiercely. The hot tea splashed on his face, and Hou San was so hot that he shuddered, but he didn't dare to wipe off the water drops on his face, but kept on kowtow.

"My lord, the young master has already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, there is nothing serious!" the butler of the mansion came in at this moment and reported.

"Well, is Zhang Yan here?" Chen Tang nodded and asked with a calm expression.

"Zhang Baozheng is here, waiting outside, the villain will call him in immediately!" said the butler, and then ordered the servants to call for someone.

"Brother-in-law, is your nephew okay?" While talking, a person came in from the outside. If viewed from the back, he was a normal person, but he was unsatisfactory when viewed from the front. His mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. He had a 'glass flower' outside. The villain looks like a gentle man, with a scholar's scarf on his head, a Confucian robe, and two mouse whiskers on his chin.

"Well, sit down!" Chen Tang frowned slightly and asked him to sit down. His brother-in-law was a country rascal. Really can't get on the stage, can't stand the wind around the pillow, so he has no choice but to let him be the head of the village in his own village, and promote him to be a guarantor, and he can be regarded as a grassroots cadre.

"Brother-in-law, although it was said that my nephew was beaten today, it was actually brother-in-law, you, the magistrate, who was beaten in the face. We can't just let it go!" Zhang Yan said as he sat down and crossed his legs.

"Hmph, you still have the face to tell me that your nephew was beaten on your field, you are so dignified!" Chen Tang said sarcastically.

"Well, when I got the letter and summoned the dealers to rush over, they had already run away, otherwise I would call them..."

"Stop bragging, and look at the people you can beat the most. They are still a bunch of trash, who actually made children look ashamed!" Chen Tang pointed to Hou San, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "The family dares to kill you!" Da Zian, is there some kind of battle going on, have you figured it out yet?"

"Brother-in-law, this family has only been here for more than a year. They all speak with a Beijing accent. I haven't heard of any backing. The head of the family is a child of seven or eight years old. Everything is decided by a group of managers. I guess The adults in the family died, and they couldn't get along in the capital, so they hid in the countryside, otherwise, who would come to this poor country to become a local rich man! But..."

"But what?"

"This family is very rich. There are hundreds of hectares of land alone, most of which are good fields, and there are more than 500 tenants. The food and clothing expenses of the family are all good. I heard people say that the steward of their family said that Come and buy all the fields along the river!" Zhang Yan said with bright eyes, "Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that the gifts for Cai Xiangye for the Chinese New Year this year are not enough, if we take this opportunity to take him Come here, a hundred hectares of land is worth a lot of money, plus their big manor, it will cost 20 guan, all problems have been solved, maybe my brother-in-law can also go to Beijing, and it is not out of the question to join the cabinet !"

"Oh, his family is so rich..." Chen Tang stood up abruptly, and soon realized his gaffe. He looked at Hou San who had languished on the ground and said to the officials, "Take him down and find a doctor." have a look!"

The officials waved their hands, and two yamen servants came up and carried Hou San down. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Chen Tang asked Zhang Yan to come over and said, "Zhang Yan, what should I do if I want to bring that Zhuangzi here... ·”

······

The palace was full of chills, and the guards were all dressed up, with knives out of their sheaths and bows drawn up. More than 20 dealers were also guarding outside the gate with guns and sticks. Not far away, another group of more than 20 people were also siege. Looking at the door, it was the arrogant Zhang Yan who was leading the way.

"Boss, I have figured out the details of those people!" Zhao Tang sat in the main hall with a face full of anger.

"Second Lord, I have found out that they are from Zhuangzi, the magistrate of Gongzhou. The leader of those people yesterday was his eldest son Chen Zian, and the person outside the door is his brother-in-law, Baozheng Zhang Yan from Dachenzhuang!" Respectfully replied.

"Shame on me, I didn't make trouble for him, but I dare to make trouble for me today!" Zhao Tong scolded, he didn't want to cause trouble yesterday, so he let Chen Zian go, but he didn't expect this kid to turn his face when he got on the horse, and he shot when he looked back He shot an arrow, if Meng Tao hadn't been quick, he might have plotted against him.

That shameless Zhang Yan actually brought someone to their house at night to 'mediate' in the name of Baozheng. The lion opened his mouth and asked them to spend [-] yuan to settle the matter. He came to guarantee that the magistrate's family would not trouble him.The chief manager has also seen the big world. In Beijing, even the minister and the prime minister would give him three points. Now that a small "village cadre" dares to act wild here, of course he asked someone to throw them out. It wasn't Zhao Tun who ordered him in advance to break his leg long ago.I didn't expect this guy to go on endlessly, leading people to block the door of the house, and even breaking in to arrest people.

"Aren't they going to come in? Master Meng, get your people ready. As soon as they enter the mansion, close the door immediately, arrest them all, and beat them to death if they dare to resist!" Several people in the hall heard this. I was taken aback, the prince seemed really annoyed, Mr. Huang didn't come back yesterday, others tried to persuade him but dared not, after all this child is their real master.

"Yes, I'll follow Second Master's orders right away!" Meng Tao finished speaking and went out.

"Jianxi, go and get my royal robe, and prepare the chariots and horses!" Zhao Tang said to Jianxi who was on the side again.

"Second Master, what are you doing here?" Jian Xi was stunned, not knowing what the prince was up to.

"Catch them and raise them for fun? I want to send them to the magistrate's yamen and sue them for murdering the prince, but I want to see whose father is older!" Zhao Tong said with a stern face.

"Yes!" Jian Xi immediately understood that he was going to compete with that Chen Zian for his father, but is it comparable? The prince himself is several levels older than the magistrate. He looked at the prince and knew that the other kid had already had a father. Having made up his mind, he immediately ordered Fengxi to take the two little yellow gates to fetch clothes and prepare a sedan chair.

"Boss, find someone with a good writing style and ask him to write a complaint immediately, saying that Chen Zian murdered the prince and wanted to do something wrong. I want to see how his father will try this case!"

"Second Master, you don't need to go to this matter yourself, I can take care of it with your post, and let him handle things impartially!" The chief manager persuaded, failing to understand the leader's intentions correctly.

"No, I have to go and see for myself, and let him know that his father is the magistrate!" Zhao Tang immediately declined his kindness.

Those who arrest people here arrest people, those who write certificates write certificates, and when everyone returns to the main hall after finishing their work, their eyes are all brightened. It is true that people rely on clothes and horses on saddles. The prince has already changed into a 'formal suit', wearing a seven-beam forehead Wearing a flower crown, wearing a purple four-clawed dragon robe, a gold belt around the waist, a goldfish bag hanging from it, a white jade ring hanging on it, a mink fur cloak, buckskin cloud-toed boots, and a pretty little white face, That's a spirit.

"My lord, the sedan chair is ready, please move it!" Jian Xi also put on her 'work clothes' and bowed and shouted loudly.

"Well, let's go!" Zhao Tun walked out the door gracefully, everything outside was ready, he got on the sedan chair, the eight bearers shouted in unison, Hongni's sedan chair was lifted up steadily, the most leisurely person in the mansion It was them, and this was the first time to use them, and they were full of energy.

The team starting out at the gate of the mansion has already stood still, waiting for him. Yang Feng leads the way with six guards, followed by Zhao Tong's sedan chair, and four sumo wrestlers each occupy a corner of the body guards. The sedan chair, with a few small yellow gates, was waiting, and the chief steward and Meng Tao led a dozen guards on horseback to accompany them. At the end, the bankers escorted a group of "terrorists" who "attacked" the palace. He was ready to bully the official.

"My lord, when you open the mansion alone, we will be accompanied by a guard of honor, that will be bigger than this!" Jian Xi said with a smile to Zhao Tang in the sedan chair through the curtain.

"Hey, let's play big this time. I wonder if the emperor will scold me for making too much trouble after hearing about it!" Zhao Tuo's helpless voice came from the sedan chair. The foot girl knew the result even if she wanted to, without mentioning the identity of the prince, a magistrate and a county king are not at the same level at all, he can only seek abuse, but he has no choice but to do so.

Since the Tianning Festival meeting, as he expected, after meeting the rich and young masters of their family, some Xiao Xiaoxiao began to move around, all kinds of apportionment, all kinds of inexplicable servants began to come to the door, in short, the village asked for money for business trips They turned to him for everything, and there were even more land property disputes in adjacent land boundaries. The courageous ones moved the boundary signs openly, while the timid ones secretly dug the edge of the ground and gnawed at the corners of the fields, causing complaints from the tenants at home.

Zhao Tong believes that Baozheng's daring to collude with the magistrate to snatch the property is the result of his blind tolerance and attitude of calming down and letting others go. 'Create' a peaceful and stable environment in the future!
