"Master, how can you have tea without snacks? I brought some snacks from home, so I'm going to get them for you!"
"You can take whatever you want. With your mother-in-law's craftsmanship, dogs won't even eat the snacks she makes!"
"That's right! Young master, you'd better take this from me, my mother-in-law is famous for her good intentions!"
"You all get out of my way! Let the young master eat this of mine. This snack of mine was made by Miss Xiaoyu from Cuihonglou. I have kept it for two years and I can't bear to eat it! It's just a good way to honor the young master!"
"Gungungun, after two years of storage, can I still eat it? Master, this person wants to harm you!"
"You, you fart! How can you be so filthy about someone's innocence!"
"Ouch! If someone tripped me with their feet, the tea would be spilled!"
"Which bastard is pulling my belt? Look at the punch!"
"Ah! It wasn't me, you hit the wrong person!"
"Fuck you, mother, if you dare to do something evil, I'll kill you!"
In the class room.
The scribes started to quarrel in order to show their face in front of Yingxuan, the God of Wealth.
The people who were squeezed in the back also began to secretly plot.
Immediately afterwards, I don’t know who made the move first, and everyone started to tear each other apart and started fighting with a loud bang.
The tooth man on the side felt a toothache when he saw it, and said to Ying Xuan speechlessly: "Young master, you are too...that's what you are doing!"
"What does this have to do with me?!"
Ying Xuan sipped his tea, glanced at him and said, "Giving gifts and doing things, isn't this the rule between you and the county government? Did I do anything wrong?!"
When Yaren heard this, he couldn't help rubbing his teeth again.
There is nothing wrong with giving gifts.
But the point is, you gave too much!
Zhang Liang, who was on the side, knew that the young master's move must have deep meaning, so he just looked at it with a smile and said nothing.
Fan Kuai, on the other hand, looked very excited and kept shouting from the side to direct the battle.
"Pull out the gear, pull out the gear! Are you a bitch? What's the point of pinching his arm?! Just poke him in the eye!"
…
Just when the fight was in full swing in the class room.
the other side.
In the study room in the backyard of the county government office.
Clerk Liu Sizheng was holding paper in his hand with a worried look on his face, reporting to the Qingpu County magistrate behind the desk about the situation of Ying Xuan and the others.
The county magistrate's name is Xu Ze.
He is tall, has a thin face, and looks to be in his forties.
There is a long beard on his chin, which stretches all the way to the desk. It is dark and neat. One look at it shows that he is very diligent in taking care of it.
If you only look at it from the outside.
This is exactly what he looks like as a learned man, an upright and upright official.
But the truth is exactly the opposite.
Because he was not an orthodox Jinshi, but only had the reputation of being a civil servant, and relied on the selection of officials by the Ministry of Personnel to climb all the way to the position of county magistrate.
He didn't come from a noble family, nor did he have a big backing, so becoming the county magistrate was the end of his life.
When there was no hope for his career, he focused all his attention on money.
After all, as an official, you always have to leave something for yourself!
Otherwise, what is the purpose of this official position? !
So since he took office, he has set various cashier rules.
No matter who they are, no matter what they come to the Yamen for, if they don’t get some benefits, they can’t even think of leaving.
Even if a bird flies over the Yamen, it has to leave two feathers behind before it can fly away!
Who dares not to listen?
Dare to resist? !
Dare you not pay for it? !
In the blink of an eye, he would be arrested and charged with colluding with Japanese pirates!
At that time, not only will the person have to go to jail and suffer a lot, but even the money at home will not be saved.
Therefore, the people of Qingpu County, although they deeply hate this magistrate.
But he was also extremely afraid.
I can only curse a few words in private after my money is taken away, just to satisfy my appetite.
at this time.
In the study room.
Liu Si gave a general account of the matter, especially the fact that he had received the gold, but he did not dare to disclose it at all.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu Ze couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.
His eyes finally left the book in his hand and fell on the paper in Liu Si's hand.
Then he asked calmly: "Are you saying that a few overseas people came to the Yamen of Cai County just now and wanted to apply for my household registration in Ming Dynasty? They also claimed that their age was more than 1,700 years old."
"And you, Liu Si!"
Xu Ze turned his attention to Liu Si, and then said: "After hearing this kind of thing, you came to report to me without hesitation?! Do you think that I am too leisurely on weekdays? Um?!"
"Little, little dare not, little is not without suspicion, little at first also suspected that they were fooling around..."
Liu Si felt tremendous pressure in an instant, rushing toward his face.
He hurriedly explained: "Yes, but that person said it with certainty, saying that they are cultivators! So small, small..."
Xu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly: "So you believe it?!"
"..."
Liu Si slowly lowered his head and murmured in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao actually... doesn't fully believe it either!"
When Xu Ze heard this, he stopped talking.
But his eyes still fell on Liu Si motionlessly.
Until Liu Si was sweating profusely and his legs began to tremble.
Then he suddenly asked.
"But taking advantage of others?!"
Liu Si's eyes wandered and he stammered: "No, no benefits..."
"Um?!"
Xu Ze made an accent with his nose.
"Then, the leader gave the younger one a piece of yellow, saying it was gold."
Liu Si said weakly: "But in my opinion, that thing doesn't seem real..."
"Oh? I gave you a piece of gold?!"
Xu Ze paused for a moment after hearing this, then stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it to me and let me see."
"Yes, it's my lord!"
Liu Si did not dare to resist. He took out the gold from his arms and put it in Xu Ze's hand with a look of reluctance.
Xu Ze took the gold and weighed it with his hands to determine the weight.
Then he stuffed the gold into his arms very naturally.
Then, he said in a very calm tone: "This piece of gold does not look real. I will find someone to verify it in a few days, and then I will tell you the result."
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
Liu Si was so distressed that he almost cried, but he had to show his gratitude.
"I think you usually get good results from your work, so I won't hold you accountable this time. Don't forget the rules in the county government again!"
Xu Ze warned: "If you dare to go behind my back and accept betrothal gifts in private again, once I find out, I will fine you double the amount!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Liu Si plopped down and knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Young man is guilty, I will never dare to do it again next time!"
"Okay, get up! Don't do it again in the future!"
Xu Ze waved his hand casually and asked him to stand up.
He will rely on these people to help him make money in the county government in the future.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Shock is enough. Without these greedy bastards, how can the bait take the bait?
