According to the grassroots management system in ancient times where "imperial power did not extend to counties", Li Zheng and Xiangshen were the first level managers.
The population of Bajun was sparse, so Li Zheng of Lihua Town replaced the pavilion chief and was also responsible for the taxes and corvee in the surrounding villages.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zhi, the village chief, could only manage dozens of households in Xujia Village, and his position as a small person was below Li Zheng.
However, her village head is a bit special. Basically, she is under the "direct jurisdiction" of Magistrate Zhang and does not need to be controlled by anyone...
Jiang Zhi has never seen what Li Zheng looks like since he was elected as the village chief.
When Jiang Zhi heard that Song Lizheng was coming, he knew without thinking that he was here for those gangsters and Wang Xiaoju.
After Xiaoman reported the news, a group of people hurriedly appeared on the road between the thatched shacks.
Song Li was an elderly scholar, lean and wearing a fine cotton gown.
In the summer, the collars of clothes are also tightly buttoned.
He is a squire in the town. He fled to the city at the beginning of the war and managed to escape. Now he is back to take charge of the villages under the jurisdiction of Lihua Town.
The boss of the Wang family came with him, his face was sweaty and nervous, but when he saw Jiang Zhi, he immediately looked relaxed.
He was shocked when he heard that his sister and brother-in-law brought people to Xujiacun to move things.
Mrs. Jiang was not easy to get along with, and there was bound to be a scene when moving grain, so she quickly invited Song Lizheng from the town.
Here and there, let’s see who dares to act up.
Following Song Lizheng were several town guards Ding Yong, and Wang Xiaoju, who had just run away, also left and returned.
Song Li's expression was gloomy. He glanced at the crowd gathered under the drying shed and landed on Jiang Zhi.
I have long heard that the person in charge of Xujiacun is a woman.
This person was chosen by the village itself, and Inspector Zhang was also in Xujia Village.
This Xujia Village was destroyed by bandits, and it was full of refugees. They were poor and destitute. Anyone who took over the village would be in trouble, so I pretended not to know, just to leave the burden behind.
But now that things are happening about occupying family property, forcing people to divorce, and making people afraid to go home, we can't ignore it.
Jiang Zhi took two steps forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Song Lizheng has come to Xujiacun after hard work on a hot day!"
Song Lizheng saw that her hair was disheveled due to hard work, her clothes and shoes were covered in mud and corn ash, and she still behaved in such a manner that was neither male nor female, neither fish nor fowl, which was really unsightly.
He immediately shook his sleeves with a sullen face, raised his head and pretended not to notice, and looked around.
This is a drying shed, with some baskets stacked in the corners and dustpans placed on a grid. Although it is not a mess, it is not a place for entertaining guests.
Especially when there was a circle of people surrounding him, he was not as respectful as the people in other villages, but more like he was watching a play.
“Ms. Jiang, it’s busy farming time now, why are you gathering these villagers here?
Since you are the head of a village, you have to think about the livelihood of the villagers. The villagers cannot accompany you to act rogue and show off your authority, and you don't want them all to work! "
Song Lizheng had a straight face and lifted his robe out of habit... then he remembered that there was no seat behind him and he could only stand and lecture.
At this time, Jiang Zhi glanced at Xu Genbao, who was holding his butt and standing uneasily, and then at Wang Xiaoju, who was crying behind him, and the boss of the Wang family, who was pretending to be stupid.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart: You are an idiot, why are you asking questions knowingly when someone is already in front of you?
Since it's coming to my door to make me feel uncomfortable, don't blame me for making you feel uncomfortable too.
However, these trivial matters should not delay the farm work. She waved her hand: "Everyone, go and do whatever you are supposed to do. Don't watch the monkey show here!"
Seeing that the atmosphere here was not right, Tian Gui and others immediately drove away the idle people and stopped watching.
However, Errui and Xiaoman were still under the drying shed, staring at Boss Wang and others.
On the other side... monkey drama!
Song Lizheng's face darkened, he suppressed his anger, and waited until everyone left before saying angrily: "Someone from the town came to report that you in Xujia Village were detaining people without permission and still didn't hand them over."
Jiang Zhi looked surprised: coming from the official road, he must pass through Zhang Juntou's inspection station.
Now that I already know that those gangsters have been arrested, I still ask myself who I want... Want to pinch the soft persimmon?
He immediately raised his voice and said: "What did Song Lizheng say? Were those robbers sent by you?
It's okay to be a VIP, but I have already been handed over to the inspection camp to be escorted to the county government office. If Song Lizheng is faster, he can still get me back! "
Song Lizheng's face darkened and he shouted sternly: "Nonsense! The Wang family's sister-in-law is bringing people to move, so why are there robbers? As the village chief, you must ask for the facts when dealing with things, don't..."
"Why didn't I ask clearly? To catch an adulterer, you need to arrest both men, and to catch a thief, you need to take the stolen goods. If I catch them both with their belongings, does it count as clear?" Jiang Zhi retorted.
"This is just your one-sided statement..."
Jiang Zhi didn't give Song Lizheng a chance to talk nonsense, and interrupted directly: "What you heard is just one side of the story. Wang Xiaoju led people to rob farmers' property, and both the people and the people got the stolen goods. There is no doubt!"
"Mr. Jiang, you are a small village chief, what qualifications do you have to judge others as thieves!" Song Lizheng was furious.
Jiang Zhi didn't like him, and said with a stick on his neck: "With my sharp eyesight and clear mind, I can see thieves. It's not like some people who go crazy after drinking a few bowls of yellow soup. Even my mother is so crazy. I don’t even know him anymore.”
Song Lizheng drank a cup of wine every day, so as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Zhi smelled the smell of wine and thought he was drunk.
At this time, when he heard that he was called a drunkard, Song Lizheng was so angry that he waved his hand to Zhenyong behind him: "Take this arrogant village woman away."
Jiang Zhi didn't move. Next to him, Er Rui and Xiao Man touched the handles of the knives at their waists.
Tian Gui, Xu Gensheng and others hurried forward: "Song Li is calming down his anger. Village Chief Jiang has such a temper. Don't care about the large number of you."
"Yes, yes! You are a person who has read books, so you should be sensible..."
Qin and Pi also swarmed up and said, "Oh, Mr. Li Zheng, if you take the village chief away from us, if anything happens to our village, we will have to go to you!"
"Yes, there are people who dare to enter the village to rob food now, and they will soon enter the village to rob people. Mr. Li Zheng, if I feel scared, can I stay at your house?" Ms. Qin asked seriously.
"Clang!"
When Li Zheng came over, Li Laoshi was very attentive and felt that it was not thoughtful to let Li Zheng stand. At this time, he came over carrying a stool dug out of an unknown shack.
However, when he heard Song Lizheng shouting that he wanted to arrest someone, his foot stopped, his hand slipped, and the stool on his shoulder "accidentally" fell to the ground. It rolled and almost hit Song Lizheng's foot.
Song Lizheng was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, but he was also very agile.
"Oh, I'm sorry, this stool is ignorant. I don't want to lose face. Song Lizheng can't sit on it!"
Without blinking, Li Laoshi picked up the stool on the ground and walked away from Song Lizheng in a swagger.
"You, you are so brave that you dare to obstruct business!" Seeing this scene, Boss Wang shouted loudly.
He didn't believe that Zhenyong, whom Song Lizheng brought here, couldn't control these villagers or even a woman.
But the answer was a broken shoe that was thrown at him. Qin pointed at the boss of the Wang family and cursed: "It's not enough for your girl to have a man to support her. She brings a wild man to grab food in broad daylight, and you can eat and drink with her. It’s really embarrassing and I don’t want the dog to get involved.”
Mrs. Qin has always been worried about not stripping Wang Xiaoju's pants, and she will humiliate her when she gets the chance.
