Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The room is really too dirty, and Su Mu is a person who is used to enjoying himself in the past year, he just feels uncomfortable when he sleeps on the bed.In addition, the dinner was really bad, so I just had to eat a few bites and let it go.

I couldn't sleep for an hour, but I was hungry.

Really couldn't help it, Su Mu was just about to put on his clothes and get up, and went to the kitchen to find some supper, when he heard a loud noise outside, "Hold it, hold it!"

"What a thief!"

Then someone screamed loudly.

There are torches all over the yard, shining so brightly that people can't open their eyes.

Su Mu was taken aback, this is a remote place, and before he came here, he had heard that the private salt dealers were extremely vicious, could it be that they came here?

Hastily drew the waist knife on the wall, put on his shoes and rushed out, shouting: "Come here, come here!"

"Oh, who is this man? Why did he come here? He is still holding a knife. He looks so mighty!" Suddenly someone screamed strangely, stepped forward, and patted Su Mu on the shoulder vigorously.

This person's movements were also fast, Su Mu was caught off guard for a moment, and his body was staggered.

"Haha!" There were sarcastic laughter all over the courtyard.

With the light of the torch, Su Mu saw a strong man in front of him. Although he was not tall, he was dark and thick.

This person was wearing an arrow-sleeve shirt of a yamen servant, and he seemed to be from the inspection department.

The book office that received Su Mu before came forward flatteringly, and bowed his hands to the man: "If you go back to the Deputy Ma Xun, it is Mr. Mei Inspector Mei who just came to take office today!"

"You are Ma Quan?" Su Mu was slapped by him, feeling furious.

"Oh, it turned out to be Inspector Mei, who offended me just now!" Ma Quan slightly cupped his hands, but there was no respect in his attitude: "I am blind, I didn't recognize Inspector Mei."

Su Mu's eyes finally got used to it, and when he looked up, there were about twenty soldiers in the courtyard, and two people were still being escorted.

The two had already been beaten black and blue by Ma Quan and the others, tied up and thrown on the ground.Beside them, there were still ten bulging burlap sacks.

The soldiers were all standing there with a smile on their faces, with their bodies crooked and disfigured. It was obvious that they were used to indulgence during the day.

"This is?" Su Mu asked.

Ma Quan: "Two salt transporters were arrested."

Then without waiting for Su Mu to speak, he waved his hand: "Lock it up first, and send it to the state government office tomorrow morning to wait for the master Zhizhou to deal with it. The one next door to spicy food has been making a fuss all day, the grains of rice haven't stuck to the teeth, and the chest is so hungry that it sticks to the back. Let's go." , but knocked on the door of the black widow’s house on the street, and told her to fix some wine and food to benefit from, and charge the money to my Ma Quan’s account.”

"Thank you, Master Ma!" Everyone cheered at the same time, surrounded Ma Quan and left, leaving Su Mu aside in the cold.

The book office said to Su Mu: "Master Mei, why don't we go eat some too."

Seeing that Ma Quan was arrogant and rude, Su Mu was furious in his heart: "I won't go."

The book office was probably also caught between Su Mu and Ma Quan, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "Master Mei, everyone is here today, so we just sit together and meet each other. Also, Ma Xun The deputy has a rough temper, so don't take it to heart, just treat him as an ignorant bastard. You are all masters, it is impossible not to talk!"

He also knew that Ma Quan relied on Yang Tongzhi's power, and he was defiant all day long, and that Su Mu took his position again, which already made him hold a grudge.

When Su Mu thought about it, he was right, if he didn't go, he would appear to be intimidated by Ma Quan, how could he continue to conduct inspections in the future.

He nodded and went with the book office.

I checked the private salt today, and everyone was in high spirits, eating meat and drinking heavily.

Ma Quan was already a little drunk from the beginning to the end, no longer concealed his hostility, looked Su Mu up and down with ferocious eyes, and said after a long while: "I heard that Mei Fuguimei was sent directly by the Jingli Military Department to inspect you. Did you go under the door of some adult, maybe it is bigger than the official of Yangzhou Tong?"

Su Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "I haven't come from any background, and I don't know any dignitaries."

"Who are you coaxing, there is no way, who will let you fill this fat position, or you are just an official who spent a lot of money?" Ma Quan was talking, holding a leg of lamb with his hands, greasy chewing.

Su Mu: "I'm just a poor soldier. If I had the money to go out, would I still use it to serve as a soldier? It was really lucky back then, and I made some meager military achievements by chance. The boss saw that I was pitiful, so I was sent here .As for why they were sent to Cangzhou, to be honest, I am confused!"

"I should have said it earlier!" Ma Quan threw the leg of lamb on the table with a snap: "It turned out that he got lucky, and the situation is not much different from my visit."

Then he ignored Su Mu, and shouted loudly to the other twenty or so soldiers: "You have eaten and drank enough, do you want to discuss how to deal with today's errands? Don't talk nonsense, hand over the ten bags of salt to one bag." , the rest of the big guys are divided, and you don't blame me for only caring for you, but not for the benefits. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the grass!"

Everyone was overjoyed and knelt on the ground at the same time: "Thank you, Master Inspector!"

Ma Quan turned his head around again, and sprayed alcohol at Su Mu: "Don't worry, inspector Mei, your share is naturally indispensable. From now on, I will leave it to my brother to run errands and work. As for you... ..."

He chuckled: "Just sit in the official office. Anyway, you don't know what's going on outside. If there's any trouble, it's because you've hurt your brothers."

A book office looked at Su Mu in horror, Ma Quan's dismounting was really making a fuss.He dared to share the spoils in front of his immediate boss, bought people's hearts, and did not give Master Mei any face at all.

In this way, wouldn't they want to hold off the new patrol inspector face to face?

The clay bodhisattva still has a three-point fire nature, I'm afraid these two masters will turn their faces tonight.

But to the surprise of the book office, Su Mu smiled slightly: "Okay, then, I will trouble Deputy Ma Xun."

Now, not only the book office, but also everyone in the room was stunned.

Ma Quan didn't expect Su Mu to be so resigned. He was taken aback for a while, then laughed, and raised his cup: "Inspector Mei, I would like to toast you a toast. Today, my brother has a business to do, so I didn't prepare it. Another day, I will be Ma Quan." Another banquet will be held in the city to welcome you during the patrol."

"That's a good relationship." Su Mu clinked glasses with him and drank it in one gulp. The smile on his face was still calm, but his heart was really agitated: It seems that we can't make it if we don't take all this horse down.People don't hurt the tiger's mind, but the tiger hurts the mind.

Su Mu came to Cangzhou alone this time on business, if he really relied on him alone, he really couldn't do much.The reason why Queen Mother Zhang made such an arrangement is also considering that the main task of the inspection department is to govern the population, so that it is convenient to do things.

Besides, this is a ninth-rank sesame official, and he is not afraid that Su Mu will cause trouble and be difficult to deal with, which will hurt the face of the Tian family.

Therefore, Su Mu had already figured it out that when he came to the inspection department this time, he had to master a certain amount of manpower first, so that it would be convenient to find someone.When someone is found, Taikang has to be escorted back to Beijing by his subordinates.

But looking at the situation in front of him, Ma Quan refused to delegate power.

If he is not eliminated, Su Mu will not be able to mobilize every soldier in the inspection department.
