At this time, in Zhang Bao's courtyard, Zhang Bao had already learned everything about Pingyang County in recent years through Ah Shan's description.
The result surprised Zhang Bao.
According to Ah Shan's description, the county magistrate is a very good person.
He is a philanthropist. I heard before that many people in Hezhou fled here when they couldn't afford food. The county magistrate even set up a resettlement site to help them.
During this process.
The county magistrate even contributed a lot of money himself.
For so many years, Han Yutao has been leading people from Pingyang County to do business.
There were not many salt roads here before. It was also because Han Yutao took people to communicate with the salt merchants that some salt roads were moved here.
Their Pingyang County side has also developed step by step.
So Ah Shan, because of Zhang Bao's tax matters, did not implicate the county magistrate, but chose to kill and run away.
Even when he finally met Zhang Bao, he almost took action.
If it was really the order of the county magistrate, Ah Shan might directly attack the county magistrate.
"Then this is interesting."
"Is it possible that he is still a good official?"
Zhang Bao frowned.
When I was in the Yamen.
In front of him, that person committed suicide so hastily, and there was even a hint of provocation in it, shouldn't it?
Doing so will only arouse greater suspicion in themselves. Why do they do this again?
Having said that, perhaps it is still because of this tax. Why we are so anxious to implement this tax is the key issue.
This tax is nothing more than two things, one is to make money, and the other is to set yourself against others.
It seems that judging from the situation of this county, it is not very short of money. Maybe it is to ruin its reputation.
Between the good and the bad, he mediates in the middle and allows himself to leave as soon as possible. This may be the purpose.
That's what it means.
If they really stayed, they would probably make other moves soon.
Zhang Bao shook his head.
Walking towards Lao He.
Since finding a doctor for Lao He, Lao He has finally settled down.
However, in a situation like Lao He's, there is no good solution. We can only raise it slowly. Moreover, as he gets older, he cannot carry heavy objects, so he has to move less and fiddle less.
Zhang Bao always felt that although this time, he wanted to take Lao He out to show off and remove the shackles that imprisoned Lao He. Who would have thought that Lao He would not live up to his expectations.
How could Lao He be honest just because of his disobedient character?
Therefore, Lao He's waist injury is unlikely to be cured in a while.
In fact, judging from the current situation in Pingyang County.
If Lao He had not gone to the palace at that time, he would not have met Ah Shan. If he had not met Ah Shan, Lao He's waist would not have been injured. The group of them might have left immediately when they saw that there was nothing going on in Pingyang County. .
I wouldn't even think about staying.
All I can say is that Lao He is indeed the chosen one...
Where Lao He is, all conspiracies have nowhere to hide.
Zhang Bao smiled helplessly.
"What are you kidding about?!"
"I'm like this, and you're still laughing!"
"I won't be able to leave for a while, I don't care, you all stay with me!"
Lao He was grinning in pain on the bed, but when he saw Zhang Bao coming in with a grin on his face, he immediately became furious.
Zhang Bao turned around and walked out with a black line on his face.
Originally, I wanted to see Lao He's injury, but according to Lao He's current reaction, his mental state is still very good, and he estimated that after he went in, he would complain for at least half an hour.
Let's forget it and come back with wine and food in the evening.
Zhang Baogang came out of Lao He's house.
A soldier came over to report.
"Um?"
"What is she here for?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
Just now the soldier said that a woman came, saying she was the wife of the county magistrate, and she came to see Zhang Bao to discuss important matters.
Unexpectedly, she was really unwilling to give up. She used a honey trap last time and it didn't work. Now she actually thought of using this method again.
Did you even take the initiative to deliver it to your door?
And it's still broad daylight, so it feels like a conspiracy.
Zhang Bao thought for a while, if he disappeared, he might not know what moves he would use in the future, but in this case, he would not be able to guard against it.
It's better to have a chat with this woman first, and by the way, you can also find out about Han Yutao's background.
Zhang Bao looked at Lao He's room, rolled his eyes, called the soldiers and gave some gentle instructions, then walked towards Xixue.
"How did you come?"
"I was just coming to see you for something."
"What are you going to do?"
Xixue was about to go out, but Zhang Bao walked in first.
He closed the door smoothly.
Xixue covered her chest with a wary expression.
"Where did you want to go?"
"I'll lend you this place."
Zhang Bao made a hissing gesture towards Xixue and pointed outside.
Xixue also followed Zhang Bao's example and looked outside through the crack in the door.
Not a moment.
An affectionate woman, carrying two jars of wine in her hands, walked in behind the soldier.
The soldier pointed to Lao He's room and left in a hurry.
The beautiful woman looked around, a little confused, but she still pushed the door and walked into Lao He's room. After entering, she carefully looked around and found no one, so she closed the door. stand up.
"ah?!"
"Uncle He actually did such a thing?"
"Is it still broad daylight?"
Xixue said to Zhang Bao dumbfounded.
"Yeah, it's still broad daylight."
"So I guess there must be some ambush outside. This matter is difficult to handle. Let Uncle He block the gun for me. I want to see what I can do."
"This is too clumsy."
"I really can't figure it out. Generally speaking, this county magistrate has certain qualifications."
"But these things are really not done wisely."
Zhang Bao shook his head in confusion.
From that time when the tax collector committed suicide to now when this woman came here so quickly, everything seemed too hasty.
When things get urgent, it makes people feel that they are out of control.
There is no square inch, which naturally means that this person's city is relatively shallow.
But this is not reflected in the county magistrate.
Comparing it with Xie Yunsong, you can see that this county magistrate is not even bad at all.
"Not clever?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Why can't I understand it well?"
Xixue asked with some confusion.
The words just fell.
A heartbreaking scream came from Lao He's house.
Immediately afterwards, the beautiful woman stumbled out of it.
And almost at the same time.
Han Yutao rushed in with a group of people.
"what happened?!"
"What happened?"
Han Yutao said to the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman was just pointing into the room, not knowing what to say.
"Zhang Zhoumu, if you do this, isn't it a bit unethical?"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"Although I am a county magistrate, I cannot tolerate your arbitrary bullying!"
Han Yutao shouted into the room.
"I shame you for being paralyzed!"
"I'm scared to death!"
"Everyone get out of here!"
Lao He's voice came from inside the room.
Han Yutao looked confused.
This voice is wrong, it’s not Zhang Bao’s…
"Let's go, it's our turn!"
Zhang Bao smiled.
