Compete for the Song Dynasty

Seeing Chen Kang like this, Wang Pang felt distressed and angry at the same time. He felt distressed to see Chen Kang suffered like a serious criminal.It turned out that he and Chen Kang didn't know each other, but he recruited Chen Kang to his sect yesterday, and now Chen Kang is his own person, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention that Chen Kang is a sinful and honest person, so he is even more angry.Wang Pang suppressed his anger, and turned to County Magistrate Zhu and asked: "Master, who is this man, I don't know what crime he committed? Can you bring him here, and give me advice?"

Hearing what Wang Pang said, Chen Kang thought to himself that he had thought too much just now, but he heard the county magistrate say to Wang Pang: "Young Master Wang, this prisoner is not on duty, and not only did he not do a good job in what the county assigned him to do. , and even went to legitimate merchants that abide by the law to make trouble in the name of the county magistrate. You should be a warning, Mr. Wang." When Chen Kang heard this, he couldn't get angry, but his character was weak. The seven orifices were already smoked, but they just stood there trembling.

Wang listened to the county magistrate saying this, and he looked nervous and said to Zhu County magistrate: "The county magistrate, what you said is true! But since I have accepted this person's errand, I don't know how much the business tax will be charged? Is there a time limit?" County magistrate Zhu glanced at the master proudly, and seemed to say again: See if my method of killing one person as an example is not bad, right?The master understood what the county magistrate meant, and smiled obsequiously.

Only then did Chen Kang understand that Wang Pang came here to take over from him. He thought to himself what happened to Mr. Wang, knowing that this matter is so difficult?He hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't accept this matter!" The county magistrate slapped the gavel: "Bold, I don't let you speak now!"

As soon as he slapped, the yamen servants in the hall immediately knocked the water and fire sticks on the ground, threatening.Chen Kang immediately didn't dare to say anything, but just looked nervously at Wang. [

Seeing that the hall was quiet, the county magistrate rubbed his face, and put away the expression of scolding Chen Kang just now as if by magic, and replaced it with a smiley expression, and said to Wang Pang: "All of us in the county They are people who keep their own place, and this job is easy to do, this year’s miscellaneous tax is even worse, the merchants in the county are taxed, and they can collect ten taels of silver from each household for each drink and tea profit.”

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, Chen Kang was in a hurry. There were thirty or forty merchants in the county, and each household got three to four hundred taels of silver. Charge again?What's more, when he was doing errands before, the county magistrate said that Chen Kang had already done his best to pay for the last sum.He hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, the money has already been handed over to the county magistrate, so don't agree to it."

As soon as he spoke, there was an officer with lively eyes. Seeing that the county magistrate's face was dark, he walked over and knocked Chen Kang on the back of Chen Kang's leg with a water and fire stick. Chen Kang knelt down in the hall: "Is your skin itchy? Yesterday Is the stick not full?" Wang Pang looked at it and felt angry, this is not a county government office, the county magistrate does not do anything, and the servants mess around without rules.Wang Pang said: "Wait!"

Seeing the county government waving his hand, the officer put away his stick and retreated to the side of the hall.Magistrate Zhu asked: "My lord, do you have something to say?" Seeing that Chen Kang was spared the pain of flesh and blood for a while, Wang Bang felt a little relieved. He looked up at Magistrate Zhu and asked with a smile, "What did the magistrate say?" This errand is really easy, and ten taels of silver per household is really not much, so it's easy to collect, easy to collect."

The county magistrate regretted this in his heart. If he had known this kid was so stupid, he would have said more.Then I thought it was nothing, and before I left, I would earn a few hundred taels of silver, and wait for my new official position after the year, so I nodded and said, "When I saw Mr. Wang, I knew he was a young man with great achievements. Sure enough, my vision is pretty good, haha! How about this, with ten taels of silver per household, Mr. Wang doesn't have to work too hard, and I'll give you ten days, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Wang Pang hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, Mr. County! As long as I work hard and run more every day, I can collect it early and it will be safe for the New Year."

The magistrate was overjoyed when he heard that, but he heard that Wang Anshi's second son had resigned and returned to his hometown. It seems that the original official position was not small, but it was only because of the late emperor's favor.Unlike his relative, who is now deeply loved by Emperor Yingzong, this official has been climbing up.Now it seems that this kid has nothing but good luck, and he is so stupid that he can't figure out the situation.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhu said with a smirk on his face: "Then there is Mr. Lao, you sign the paperwork for this mission, and after you finish it, you will come to the county government to report to you!" Anyway, Wang Anshi's family is different from ordinary people. Small door and small family, both kindness and power, it is not the time to show power to Wang Pang.As he said that, he gave a compliment to the master, and the master hurriedly handed the documents on the desk to Wang Pang.

When Chen Kang saw the document, he became more and more anxious. He was unlucky enough to sign the document. The amount of money to be collected was written in black and white on the document, as well as penalties for not being able to collect it, such as offsetting by himself.He wanted to stop and looked up to see that the guards were staring at him, the sticks in their hands were tightly clenched, as if they might come up and give him a stick at any time.Chen Kang could only shake his head and sigh, groaning alas.

Looking at Chen Kang's appearance, he grinned pitifully and funny.Wang Pang took a look at the document handed over by the master, frowned and asked County Magistrate Zhu: "Master, who wrote this word?"

The county magistrate didn't know what Wang Pang meant, so the master said: "This is written by me."

Wang Pang shook his head: "Why don't you see the calligraphy of the magistrate of the county here? I have done such errands in other counties, and I will leave a copy every time I do it. Every page has the calligraphy of the magistrate of the local county. Nomination. In the future, I will compile a brochure, which will show that I have not done it in vain for so many years, and secondly, if the county magistrate is promoted, I can also prove that I have been supported by the county magistrate."

When County Magistrate Zhu heard this, it was auspicious for Gao Sheng and the like, and this brat was quite good at talking.Can just doing things for the county be used as the capital to seek an official?The county magistrate laughed: "Master, please write another copy, and I will sign it and keep it for the prince as a souvenir."

Wang Pang had already done the inscription by the magistrate of the county when he was suppressing the bandits in Longhu.This Wang Pang is a simple-minded person, and it is the first time County Magistrate Zhu saw this as his achievement in doing things. Talking, will flatter officials.County magistrate Zhu really regarded himself as a high-ranking official. Seeing that the master had written another copy, he dipped his pen, grabbed the cuff of his robe with his left hand, and signed his name on the document in a serious manner.

The master handed it to Wang Pang again, Wang Pang looked at it, and said as if he was holding a baby: "Oh, the handwriting of the county magistrate Zhu is really beautiful, and this handwriting is the best I have ever seen written by a county magistrate." watch."

Hearing what Wang Pang said, County Magistrate Zhu smiled conceitedly, and raised his voice and asked, "Young Master Wang, why don't you talk about this word?" Listen, my county magistrate is not donated with money. If what you say is wrong, it will prove that you deliberately played tricks on this county magistrate, and I will fix you then.

Wang Pang pointed to the ink marks of Zhu County Magistrate on the document and said: "The word Zhu County Magistrate looks like flowing water, but the font is thin and strong, and the strokes are not lost. Even though you wrote in willow script, the proportion of your strokes is not inferior to that of Liu Gongquan, what a pity!"

County magistrate Zhu was delighted to hear that, but what Wang Pang said was right, when he suddenly heard Wang Pang say it was a pity, he widened his eyes and asked, "What a pity?"

Wang Pang gritted his teeth: "It's a pity that the county magistrate Zhu was born 300 years later, otherwise what has been handed down to this day would not be the willow style, but the Zhu style!" [

Chen Kang who was next to him thought it was strange, the prince had taken the wrong medicine, and he clearly knew that this job was unlucky, what kind of document was this, it was clearly a seller's property contract, yet Wang Pang praised County Magistrate Zhu so much, and used Hearing the words of praise, Chen Kang got goosebumps.Chen Kang simply turned his head angrily, looking at the pillars on the side of the hall.

However, Wang Pang's words really went to the heart of County Magistrate Zhu. Unexpectedly, Wang Pang was young and knew a lot about calligraphy. Zhu County Magistrate hurriedly walked down from behind the desk and walked to Wang Pang. Recently, I also leaned over to have a look, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.Wang Pang turned sideways, held the documents in both hands as if they were treasures, and said, "Magistrate Zhu, can you take it back?!"

County magistrate Zhu hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, it's rare for a young man like Mr. Wang to have such eyesight." A few words by Wang's side dispelled most of the county magistrate Zhu's wariness towards him.

Holding the document, Wang Pang glared at the master and said, "It's a pity that the excellent handwriting of County Magistrate Zhu has made this document stained." His expression was a bit indignant.

The magistrate Zhu seemed to be talking to himself: "I said there is something wrong with it, it's okay, it's okay, Mr. Wang, the county magistrate will write you a copy in person."

Wang Pang bowed hurriedly: "Oh, my lord has been so kind to me, I'm asking for it!" That attitude was really sincere.

County magistrate Zhu returned to the book case, found the original text of the document, and wrote it carefully, stroke by stroke, for fear that a wrong word would stain the paper.When the writing is finished, sign your own name, stamp your own, pick up the paper and blow it, and see that the ink is completely dry, and beckon to Wang Pang: "Come on, Wang Gongzi, come and see, is this right?" ?”

Wang Pang took it over: "I'll just say it! This word is simply too beautiful, thank you magistrate!" He took out a notebook from his pocket, and carefully clamped the document.

County magistrate Zhu is also in a very good mood now, the dispatch has gone so smoothly, and he has been complimented so much.Wang Bang respectfully said to Magistrate Zhu: "Master, I have one more request."
