Compete for the Song Dynasty

At noon, a clerk ran back to Ruyi Restaurant: "Shopkeeper Jiang, County Magistrate Zhu is really going out of the city, and now he is surrounded by the people in the county, so go and have a look."

There is such excitement, can everyone not watch it?Shopkeeper Jiang went out first, and many customers in the store quickly paid for the food and wine, and ran to the city gate to watch the excitement.Wang Pang was not interested in the outcome of the matter at first, thinking that the county magistrate Zhu would inevitably be searched for some gold and silver treasures by the people, tied up or beaten up.He was drinking wine and secretly laughing, when he suddenly heard the voice of an old man behind him: "Young man, teasing the court officials like this will ruin the atmosphere of the county. By then, this place will be full of troublemakers, and I am afraid that there will be no one who takes office again." It’s also hard to do.”

Who is this? Why do you seem to be talking about yourself?Wang Pang tilted his head slightly, and there was an old man sitting facing him on the table behind him, saying that the old man should mean respect, because Wang Pang really couldn't tell the age of the ancients.But judging from the appearance of this person, at least he is not too different from his father's age, and he is about 50 years old.He blew his beard and stared at himself, with an angry look on his face, seeing what Wang Pang did just now, this person saw it in his eyes.But is he angry with the king?It is not known whether Magistrate Zhu is still angry.

Wang Pang pointed to himself: "Tell me!"

The old man snorted: "Am I still talking about other people? You don't follow the right path at a young age, and you play these tricks to frame the imperial court officials!" [

Where did this old man come from?Wang Pang scratched his head, but the old man didn't seem to want to deal with him like that.Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less, Wang Pang stood up and smiled and said to the old man: "Your lesson is right! But now I'm going to see the excitement! Do you want to come too?"

The old man turned his face away angrily and did not look at Wang Pang, Wang Pang thought: Do you want to see it or not, anyway, I don't know you, and you don't know anything about this place at all.He stood up and followed the crowd of spectators towards the city gate.

The gate of the county seat was crowded with onlookers. I don't know what happened to make people laugh. Wang Pang looked at the crowd, and it turned out that the people were somewhat afraid of the county magistrate. The county magistrate hid in the sedan chair when he saw the situation was not good Can't get it out.I don't know who encouraged Miss Liu, but Miss Liu got into the sedan chair.If it was a woman from an ordinary family, she would definitely not be so aggressive, but Miss Liu herself is a singing prostitute, so she is not afraid of anyone if her face is torn, and even the shopkeeper Jiang has come forward, so she is even less afraid.

I saw a sedan chair on the road, chattering inside the sedan chair, flying out of the sedan chair curtain from time to time, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin.Now the evidence of Magistrate Zhu's crime became more convincing, and the people were even more relentless, shouting outside, "Hit him, Miss Liu, come on!"

The entrance of the county seat was so lively that even the soldiers guarding the city jumped up and down in the crowd to watch the excitement. Just as Wang Pang saw Miss Liu cursing the county magistrate in the sedan chair, he suddenly felt a light pat on the shoulder: "This little girl!" Brother, I want to ask, what happened here?"

Wang Bang didn't turn his head back: "The county magistrate embezzled the tax money and wanted to sneak away, isn't he? When he came here, the sedan chair that he planned was shaking. Everyone is watching the fun!"

"Call the formation? With whom to call the formation?" The man asked puzzled.

Wang Pang laughed, he remembered that Che Zhen casually said a sedan chair shock, but he didn't expect that the person who came was quite serious, Wang Pang was immediately happy when he turned around, the person who came was about forty years old, with a slightly red face, Zhang Guozi has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he is wearing ordinary clothes, he is indeed majestic.He was holding a horse in his hand, and two plainclothes followers stood not far behind him.Whoever wants to come, isn't this Cai Ting?Wang Pang was even more sorry for County Magistrate Zhu, who was only one step away from receiving the transfer envoy.However, County Magistrate Zhu should be unlucky today, even if he left the city early, he might not expect Cai Ting to travel in plain clothes.

Wang Pang hurriedly said to Cai Ting: "Brother Zizheng, why did you arrive so soon!"

Cai Ting was also taken aback: "Why are you? Why is Wang Shilang here?!"

Wang Pang patted Cai Ting: "I, this is a gift for you. Just wait." He walked into the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me!"

Zhang San and others surrounded shopkeeper Jiang, Xiao Geda, shopkeeper Wu from the silk and satin shop, and Yue Yidao from the jewelry shop were also in the crowd.Seeing Wang standing out of the crowd, Zhang San asked shopkeeper Jiang in a low voice: "Why, why is this kid again, what is he going to do!"

"Why do you care what he is doing? Just listen to what he is doing, and we will follow when someone calls!" Shopkeeper Jiang glared at Zhang San and said.

The crowd fell silent, Miss Liu got out of the sedan chair angrily, and cursed: "Old man, you still want to go back after giving this girl's things, and you still want to go back with the shit you pulled out?" The crowd He laughed coaxingly again.

Seeing this, Wang Pang felt that it would be better for her to say: "Miss Liu, just tell everyone in front of everyone, how can this county magistrate Zhu feel sorry for the girl and make the girl lose her temper like this?"

As soon as Miss Liu looked up and saw Wang Pang, she thought to herself, who is the one to mess with? In front of such a handsome young man, she immediately said aggrievedly: "Tell me, this county magistrate has delayed this girl. Not to mention, what else does this old man say, he is leaving the county, he thought it was a safe place for this girl, but he actually threatened to take back the things that were given to my girl, and give them to another lover Yes." Then he took out his handkerchief and sat on the ground crying.

When she cried, the people watching the excitement became even happier.Cai Ting frowned when he heard this, what kind of decent is this? !But Wang Pang said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, please take this girl away!" Shopkeeper Jiang made a gesture to Zhang San and the others, and then several staff pulled Miss Liu out of the crowd.

Wang Pang said: "Everyone probably already knows that the magistrate of this county is deceiving his superiors and his inferiors, withholding taxes harshly, and forcing everyone to work hard and go on business trips! In recent years, the county has been extorting money. Let's talk about it. Nothing like that?"

When he said this, the people became even more excited, shouting: "Officer dog, beat him!" County magistrate Zhu was frightened by the roar outside the sedan chair, and hid in the sedan chair and dared not come out.If he didn't come out, some people dared to go in. Zhang San, Xiao Geda, and some ordinary people who were "forced" by the heavy tax rushed over, and they overturned the sedan chair after a fight. Magistrate Zhu was so frightened. Grumblingly, he climbed out of the sedan chair.When he came out, it was even more ridiculous, and the black gauze hat fell off, and his face was scratched by Miss Liu just now, and he looked in a state of embarrassment. [

County magistrate Zhu was in a panic at this moment, and when he looked up and saw the king, he scolded anxiously: "You brat, how dare you tease this official? Do you know what the relationship between Judge Wang of the Ministry of Households and me is? Don't talk about you, I'm not even afraid of your old man, Wang Anshi. You wait, you wait for me..." The magistrate of a county, the magistrate, hopped and cursed on the street just like Miss Liu just now.Cai Ting looked angrily and funny, and said to himself that you asked for it, whoever you provoke is not good, and what are you doing to provoke this king.

Wang Pang hugged his shoulders and laughed: "Thank you, fellow folks. In Xiawangpang, the county magistrate didn't know me before, but let him know me today. Can anyone help me, tie up this grandson and send him back to the county government. I Save a gift for our transfer envoy on Jiangnan West Road."

"Wang Pang? Is he Wang Pang?" There were whispers among the crowd.

"Is it the second son of Wang Anshi who is a high-ranking official in the capital?"

"If that's amazing, don't look at him young, he has been to Xixia, Liao, and I heard that he went to Koryo to beat Japanese slaves!"

Cai Ting got on his horse, he smiled, pointed at Wang Pang and said, "He is the second son of Wang Jiefu from Yanbupo, he was a third-rank servant, Wang Pang who went to Xixia and Liao as an envoy." After that, Cai Ting Ting turned around and left the stupid county government with his entourage.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted: "The king, he is the king! Prince Wang!"

Even shopkeeper Jiang was taken aback, Zhang San said in a low voice: "My mother, I said this kid is so arrogant, how dare he have such a big background!"

Shopkeeper Jiang secretly rejoiced that he had just learned about current affairs. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brother, I'm coming!" With his greeting, several people tied up the county magistrate, and the county magistrate howled like a pig .Zhang San was excited now, and he tore off a piece of clothes that the county magistrate had just scratched by Miss Liu, and stuffed it into the county magistrate's mouth: "Don't howl, you are a judge of the official department, are you as good as a prince? Our prince It’s the King of Hades. If you call again, I’ll kill you first.” After speaking, Zhang San turned his head and asked the king in a fawning manner, “Master, am I right?!”

Magistrate Zhu was carried back to the county government office, and Cai Ting was already sitting in the county government hall.Wang Pang gave Cai Ting the written document written by County Magistrate Zhu, and Cai Ting smiled and said to Wang Pang: "You are the only one who can do this, but he is the official of the court after all, and the rest will be left to you." me."

Wang Pang also knew that he was not in court now, so he didn't bother to ask too much. He made an appointment with Cai Ting to meet at the mansion and left the county government.It was only a few miles from the county government office to Yanbupo. Along the way, Wang Pang had the illusion of returning to the capital. The shops on both sides of the road, as well as the passers-by on the street, greeted Wang Pang enthusiastically.

After finally returning to the mansion, the gate of the mansion was wide open.Hearing that Wang Pang came back, Chen Kang limped out to meet him: "My lord, what you did today was so beautiful, haha." He smiled so happily. Regardless of the result, he has been a wimp for so many years. Laugh out loud once.Rou'er and Wa Zhuang were also waiting in the hall for Wang Pang's return. Seeing Wang Pang's return, everyone was relieved.Just talking and laughing about the county magistrate's ugly behavior, the servant ran up and said, "Second Young Master, the master told you to come over."

Wang Pang thought that maybe his father wanted to know what happened today, so he came to his father's house happily.Entering his father's study, Wang Anshi pointed to an old man and said, "Besides, this is your brother-in-law's father, your in-law's father Wu Chongqing. Come here quickly to greet him."

It's okay for the king not to look at it, but when he saw it, he thought about it, but now it's troublesome, because different ways don't conspire with each other!Isn't this old man the one who reprimanded him in Ruyi Restaurant?
