Li Chengfu has been going so well recently, and he is a little carried away with the smooth sailing. He used to worry about Song Guang's fight for the public, but now he can't get enough of his own meat, and his mouth is as anxious as a rabbit in heat in spring, biting whoever he catches. A leader can usually turn a blind eye, but a sharply sharpened knife cannot exert its power at critical times. What is the difference between this and a mallet?
"Li Dutou, we all eat royal food, and we have some status at least. If you like a kiln girl, you can spend some money to rent a small room in an alley in the west of the city. If you let this officer know that you rely on the ability to suppress bandits, The banner oppresses those low-class women and brings disgrace to our Xinghua County, hum!" Song Guangdou has been having trouble eating and sleeping these days because he is afraid that Liang Chuan will come into contact with Zhao Weixian. Speaking of this, he gave himself some advice at the beginning. , Aren’t you in a situation where you can’t get into trouble, and you are so willful that you are just making fun of the safety of the people in the city? When people are needed, they hate young people. Master Lu is proficient in the ways of officialdom, but he knows nothing about water control. At the critical moment, he doesn't even have anyone to help him with advice. This old boy is so anxious that he still cares about those whose lives and deaths are unknown. The bandits, if they don't beat them up, they will almost forget that they are on duty for the county magistrate.
Li Chengfu was scolded so much that he broke into a cold sweat. He finally felt a hint of Wu Renyi's recent difficulties. He was bowed like an old pine and was beaten by Magistrate Song in all kinds of ways. After Song Guangdou finished venting his anger, he replied quietly: "I'm humble. Ten thousand deaths, I saw that this Golden Tower is about to have a breakthrough in the near future. This bandit's den has reached the end of the mountain. The bandits make it difficult for you to sleep and eat. I can't bear to have you repeatedly harassed by this group of strongmen. It is also for the sake of peace and harmony. To eliminate evil, you must share your worries."
Song Guangdou was spitting for a long time, and most of the anger he had been holding back for several days was released. After listening to Li Chengfu's compliments, he felt a lot calmer. He stroked his gray beard and muttered: "You Make good friends with that Sanlang, take two cakes and dragon balls with you, and go to find out what Sanlang is like. If it is convenient, please invite him to the county government office. If I have anything to ask him..."
Li Chengfu was fascinated by what he heard. When had the magistrate of Song ever begged someone in such a tone and even brought the best Jian tea as a meeting gift? . Maybe he heard it wrong. He blinked his eyes and looked at Magistrate Song. He had been a little angry recently and his tinnitus problem had returned.
After Song Zhixian gave his instructions, he felt a little relaxed and raised his head and sighed. What he was most worried about was that Liang Chuan and Zhao Weixian had an unexplained ambiguous relationship. Liang Chuan was now like a key figure. You also know the situation quite well, and a single word from a key person at a critical moment can affect your future. After thinking for a long time, Li Chengfu turned around and was still stuck in the same place, without even moving his buttocks, and his beard was blowing with anger, "Why, have I been so disrespectful recently?"
Only now did Li Chengfu confirm that he had heard correctly, and said, "If you want to find Liang Chuan, I'll have someone call him. If he dares to come, I have to tie him up with a rope!"
Magistrate Song was so shocked that he was out of his mind. He didn’t know Liang Chuan’s identity before, but now he knew that he was having an affair with Zhao Weixian. He used violence against him, spread the news of his actions to Zhao Weixian’s ears, and gave his class a low grade. , didn’t you do it in vain? ,
"I know you can do things reliably, but you have to pay attention to your methods and don't be so rude. Sanlang, a great talent who knows everything about heaven, is a rare talent in this county. You can only treat talents with courtesy and don't force them!"
Li Chengfu also cursed. He used to call Liang Chuan just like a servant, but now he knows what he is capable of. Sanlang gave him goosebumps. You, a dignified county magistrate, used to treat people as just a fart, but now you are no longer a fart. Well, you have even treated it as a landowner. Now that you have fallen into this situation, you still have to give gifts to others. Thank you for being able to do so. Come.
Poor Li Chengfu, who has a great reputation in Xinghua, has now become an errand boy. He was wearing a raincoat and wrapped two cakes in oil paper. He got the best Jianlong Tuan Shengxue from the county government warehouse. It was raining heavily outside, so the tea should not get wet, otherwise it would easily become moldy. He carefully put it in In his arms, he rode a fast horse and ran towards Fengshan. Master Lu specially confessed that Saburo loved this flavor and the year couldn’t be any different.
Grandma, how can the leaves of these trees taste like those old wines? Scholars are busy!
Those two cakes were high-quality private goods obtained from Jianzhou with great favor. Originally only the royal family in Tokyo had the honor to enjoy them. Liang Chuan was so stunned that he didn't even take a look at them.
Liang Chuan was very surprised that Li Chengfu came in the rain, and even looked down upon the two-cake tea group. He was extremely annoyed by the tea-ordering method of the Song Dynasty. Scholars paid attention to red tape and had to follow rules and tricks in everything they did. Even drinking tea took a long time, and in the end they were able to taste a large bowl of black and shiny tea. Liang Chuan really couldn't stand it.
"If you want to give me some money, it would be really helpful!"
Li Chengfu was in a state of embarrassment all the way, and he was suffocating in his heart. His voice was already loud, so he spat first and then scolded: "You asked the magistrate to give you money? You kid really dare to think that these tea leaves are so valuable. , I have been working as a errand for so many years, but I haven’t had a few drinks.”
Liang Chuan sneered and said, "Do you want it?"
Li Chengfu thought that he, a cheerful person, would say next: If you want it, just take it and use it yourself. Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan then said: "If I want you, just give me money in exchange. It's so rare."
Li Chengfu sincerely said, "Just change it. You don't know the goods. There are so many tea leaves that people want!"
Although he doesn't like these 'leaves', there are many people who like them, and they are really worth a lot of money in the market.
"Don't you, Datoutou, come to me to exchange tea leaves on this rainy day? Can't you tell that you are so elegant now? Have you finished the work at Jinlou? It's been so long. Judging from your appearance, you must not have settled it yet. Well, you can make a big shit out of anything you do." Liang Chuan sarcastically said this old man.
At this point, Li Chengfu's old face was a little shy, mixed with a hint of harshness, "Mama Huang, that old bitch won't do it until she doesn't want to. I tied her up with force a few days ago!"
"Then what?" These big-headed government officials are indeed arrogant. If they can't control others with their brains, they will be tough with others and even use violence against those who do business in flesh and blood.
"The old bitch is a slut. I hung her up and made a hole with a penis to let her taste the taste of receiving customers. It made her want to die. But this old bitch not only has a hard mouth below, but also an even harder mouth above. Damn it." Li Chengfu said bitterly with a ferocious face.
"It's strange that you can use the fairy stick against this old lady. She has used it on more men than the women you have seen. What kind of battle have you not seen before?" Liang Chuan couldn't be more contemptuous, she just has two legs* *Welcome guests from all over the world, but you still use corporal punishment. Have you never heard of the saying that the only cattle that have not been plowed are exhausted cows?
"Damn, this old bitch is hard to chew. Let's not talk about her anymore. Magistrate Song asked me to ask you to go to the county office. He misses you very much. You can pack up and follow me."
"When did you learn to joke? What does the county magistrate want me to do? I must declare in advance that I am not good at Long Yang!"
Li Chengfu rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky, "Now Magistrate Song has to admit your ability. He has changed his name to you as Sanlang. Let's go. It's not easy to come here on a rainy day. Don't make it difficult for me, brother."
As a result, Li Chengfu rode back to Xinghua on his tall horse and stepped on the water. Liang Chuan wanted to seize his horse and ride it to his heart's content, but he couldn't ride a horse. It was pouring rain outside and he would still be wet when he came back. Forget it, just go slowly.
As soon as they reached Fengshan, they saw four sedan bearers running quickly in the rain carrying a green leather sedan with an oilcloth anvil top. When they saw Liang Chuan, they invited him up.
"If I had known that I would get this kind of treatment, I would have waited at home. I was still wearing a raincoat. The raincoat is not very waterproof, and half of my body got wet." Liang Chuan said to himself while sitting in the sedan.
The four cars probably got the order and hurried along in the rain as if they were running for their lives. It swayed up and down rhythmically when walking. People who are used to sitting should find it very comfortable. Liang Chuan was shaking so much that he almost vomited. If he suffered from this, he might as well get down and walk. If he wanted to be fast, he would just run two steps.
Magistrate Song personally waited at the gate of the county government office, making Liang Chuan anxious. Liang Chuan was also flattered. In the past, when he came here to find anyone, he still had to do some planning and find someone to tell him when he would be personally received by the 'county party secretary'.
Liang Chuan came out of the sedan chair, and Magistrate Song personally came up to give him a hand. His face was full of worry, and he looked at the vast and smoky land covered with rain and said: "Three months ago, Qian Sanlang confronted that magician Zhong Liang in court. There was an assertion that this rain would definitely cause severe flooding in Xinghua. At that time, I believed it, but it was made a joke by Shangchai. All kinds of flood prevention materials were not available. However, the flood has not yet occurred, and I was afraid that the people of Xinghua would be affected by that time. Tu Tan, I specially invited Sanlang to come to the county government office today despite the rain to discuss countermeasures."
Liang Chuan didn't dare to ask what his identity was. Although it was fun to watch this old boy pretend to be a grandson, he didn't have the strength to compete with them now. Pretending would be punished.
As soon as Magistrate Song began to speak, Liang Chuan immediately put on a frightened expression, clasped his fists and bent down, listening respectfully to Magistrate Song's 'teachings'. After he finished speaking, he said: "Master Magistrate, I have long wanted to come here. I share the worries with the adults, but I am just afraid of making mistakes. I expect that the county government should have responded early, and ordinary people should not come forward. In the past few days, there has been water accumulation in many places in Helu. The ordinary people and Baozheng rescued and reinforced the situation to save the day. It is really useless to do both."
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Now that I have no money or food, how can I prevent waterlogging?" Magistrate Song spread his hands, and his helpless look made people feel a little pitiful.
One of the purposes of setting up state roads in the Song Dynasty was to conveniently collect all the money and food from each state to Tokyo, leaving only a little in the local areas, so as to prevent the local areas from becoming too powerful and causing the separatist situation of vassal towns in the previous dynasties.
