In a small county town on the edge of Fuzhou.
The county magistrate was humming a tune in his back office, drinking some wine and teasing the cute maids beside him.
But just as the county magistrate was amusing them and preparing for the next step, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Master, master, something serious has happened."
The sudden shout frightened the county prince who was finally ready to show off his glory. The county prince felt that he had lost face and immediately looked at the door angrily.
"What are you shouting for? Don't you know that the master is busy? What's the decency of you to yell and scream? Go outside the door to get thirty big boards by yourself, and then report to me after you finish."
The county magistrate was also quite speechless. In order to save his face after being disturbed, and at the same time eliminate the resentment in his heart, he arranged the task viciously.
But when the housekeeper heard the thirty-big board, he immediately became frightened and knelt down with a plop outside the door.
"Master, have mercy on me, have mercy on me! I really have something urgent to report here!"
You asked me, an old man with an old body, to hit thirty boards, but I didn’t immediately go to the west! "
Just when the housekeeper was crying and talking about his difficulties outside the room, lamenting that he should not ruin the master's good deeds and make the master so angry, the county magistrate finally changed his clothes and came out of the room.
But when he looked at the closed door, the naked butler in the room couldn't help but swallow his saliva, thinking about how glorious it would be if he had such a blessing.
But when the county magistrate came out and looked at the man kneeling here, the housekeeper burst into tears and kicked him a few meters away.
The county magistrate was so irritable, but the housekeeper didn't have any complaints or displeasure. He hurried over and hugged the county magistrate's legs and continued to cry there.
"Master, I'm really here to report the news. You can't beat me to death with a stick. If you really beat me to death, big trouble will happen."
The county magistrate looked at how his housekeeper looked, and finally adjusted his clothes and drove the housekeeper away, so as not to hug his legs and be degrading.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why bother me at this time? Don't you know that I have to do homework in the afternoon?"
After the county magistrate spoke, the housekeeper looked at him nodding and bowing.
"So that the master will understand that it is not the young man who came to disturb the master's good deeds, but that a Tang Army team came from outside and surrounded our county government."
"What? Surrounding the county government?"
The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat.
"How could this happen? Which general is here? Whose order is it from?"
The county magistrate hurriedly ran forward while asking the housekeeper, and the housekeeper nodded and bowed behind him.
"Sir, it seems that the generals who came from the capital were flying Li and Cheng flags, and they were all cavalry. They entered the county without any explanation and surrounded our county government."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate was frightened.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster, it must be what we arranged last time.
Let me just say, we cannot commit crimes against the wind. We will do whatever the court orders us to do. How can we do such a thing for our own selfishness? "
The county magistrate immediately became upright and ran to the door as fast as he could.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government office, I saw two generals sitting with big horses and golden swords in the courtyard of the county government office. Behind them, there were more than a dozen guards who looked like they were not big-headed soldiers, protecting them.
The county magistrate had already heard the housekeeper say that these were two generals, and without caring about his own identity, he knelt down in front of them with a plop.
"Two envoys, Rong Zhen, I will report, I will report our governor, he is not a good person.
Even though the imperial court has issued an order, he deceives the superiors and deceives the subordinates, and asks us to do this. This is really not up to us.
If we don’t do this, our lives and fortunes will be at risk! "
The county magistrate burst into tears when he talked about it, and Li Chengcheng looked at him.
"I haven't asked you what's going on, and I haven't asked you to explain anything. What are you going to say now? What's going on?"
In an instant, the county magistrate arranged for them how to collect taxes and how to collect additional royal grain and told them without hesitation.
This statement made Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo very angry.
"Since you know the decree issued by your superiors, why do you still help the tyrant instead of fighting him to the end?"
This is how the county magistrate feels extremely wronged.
"Your Majesty, Rongchen, I am just a small county magistrate. If I speak out against the governor today, the governor may not know how to deal with me. If he sends a more ruthless person as acting magistrate, it will bring trouble to the people. How much suffering will come?
I had no choice but to use my own money to buy part of the grain and grass to be shipped to the governor. Fortunately, my family still had some assets, so that the governor would not embarrass us too much. "
When the county magistrate said this, Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo looked at each other.
What the county magistrate seemed to be saying was interesting. I didn’t see anyone coming to pay taxes at all, and no one came to make trouble and refused to pay taxes. Only a few people who knew what happened were arrested and tied up. On the tree.
However, they didn't embarrass them too much. They just said they would show it to the public for a few days, which seemed to be treated very lightly.
Just when Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo Ruzi were thinking that the county magistrate in front of them was pretty good to them. The county magistrate is pouring out his bitterness here again.
When I first came here, I couldn't tell you how difficult the people's livelihood was here, how to provide justice to them, how to lead them to produce, how to lead them to prosperity, etc., etc., etc., it's all said and done.
The more the county magistrate said this, the more Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo felt that this county magistrate was pretty good. At least he didn't say anything at first and started to report the behavior of his superiors in front of them, even though he didn't know their true identities. , but he is dedicated to serving the public good.
Otherwise, why would he be so bold? If the governor sent someone to pretend to be someone else, wouldn't it cost him his life?
It seems that this county magistrate still has a public heart.
Just after Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo briefly defined him, and just as they were about to pull him up, another shrew-like figure from the county government office rushed out from the back door.
"Old immortal, what did you do again? What happened to the three naked buttocks in your study? If you don't tell me clearly, I will never make it easy for you!"
The woman came out and didn't care what was going on. She just roared loudly. This made Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo, who were about to pull up the county magistrate, look at each other.
have to!
There was another good show to watch, and it seemed that things were not what they thought. The county magistrate in front of them seemed to have a serious problem.
The woman rushed forward and grabbed the county magistrate's ear and spoke.
"Tell me, what's going on? Where did those naked people come from?"
"That's... that's the Zuixiang Tower, the one in the Zuixiang Tower."
The county magistrate was pulled by his ear by his wife, winking and mumbling about where he came from, which suddenly made the Tang army in front of him look lively.
It seems that this county magistrate is very problematic! Then why Zuixianglou sounds like an interesting place, and it’s also bare-butt? Just thinking about it makes them shudder.
Although the county magistrate told his wife the origins of these people, he couldn't help but kneel down and talk when he saw her holding his ears and not letting him go.
"Madam, why are you here? Aren't you at home looking at the restaurant? Why are you here?"
"Old guy, I want to ask you, where did your money go? Why did the hundreds of taels of money in my account suddenly disappear? What's going on? If you don't tell me, If you come here for this reason, you don’t have to go back to your family and just live your life with those vixens."
What the county magistrate's daughter-in-law said made the county magistrate couldn't help but feel happy. Following these foxes through life was a life he had always wanted to live.
But not long after I was happy, I hurriedly lowered my head and admitted my mistake.
"Madam, am I not buying food for the governor? Please relax."
I originally thought that there was something wrong with the county magistrate, but I didn't expect that he used the money from his own restaurant to buy grain and gave it to the governor, solving the needs of their county government.
But what is this issue about indiscreet living? ???????????????Although if you do such a thing at this time, they won't say anything.
As soon as it got down to business, the county magistrate's wife didn't say anything arrogant.
"You old guy, how much money did you say was withheld here? You went to find these vixens. If you don't tell me clearly, there are some soldiers from your county government here, right? Let them repair you properly."
She didn't react until she finished speaking.
"No, when did the soldiers in your county government wear such gorgeous armor?"
After the lady finished speaking, a guard behind Li Chengcheng took a step forward.
"Bold! These are two fifth-grade bandit generals granted by the imperial court. Why do you ridicule them like this?"
After saying this, the wife of the county magistrate in front of her was surprised and looked at the county magistrate.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? There are such noble people here, why do you let them sit here? Why don't you hurry up and buy a table of delicious food in the restaurant for them to have a good rest?"
Looking at the county magistrate and his wife who were like living treasures in front of them, Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo seemed a little speechless.
Are they wrong about this, or are these people just like this? They haven't had too much exposure, or their family education is very strict, which prevents them from being exposed to this aspect.
But just when Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chu silently felt that the master and his wife were both good people, although their life was a bit disorderly, but they couldn't say anything, someone suddenly came outside the door to complain.
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
Listen to this cry of injustice. The county magistrate's expression immediately changed and he looked at Li Chengcheng and Cheng Chumo awkwardly.
"Two envoys, there was a small accident in the county government. I will resolve the case for them first and clear their innocence. Please ask the two generals to follow my wife to a restaurant to have a rest. How about that?"
Seeing that the two generals were still unmoved even after he persuaded them to go to his restaurant to have something to eat and drink, the county magistrate seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added here.
"Don't worry, adults. This restaurant is our own property and will never be a place to bully the people. Don't worry, two envoys."
However, as soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, thinking that under such circumstances, the two generals would leave, Cheng Chumo touched his chin.
"You want to solve the case? We are also curious about how you solve the case. Let's accompany you to solve the case."
