Chapter 46 The freshly released deputy magistrate

The grain chief in his family and his uncle's house were actually in two districts. Wang Fulin didn't know whether he should be depressed or angry, so he could only secretly scold Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a small peasant, in his heart. From ancient times to the present, how could there be such an unreliable tax collection method in the Ming Dynasty? It was simply a trick of the past and the future, and the killing of the future will not make any loss of life!

But now in the imperial society, he could only curse him a few times, and then comforted Wu Tianbao and left him to live with Ma's Inn. However, Wu Tianbao said that he was staying at his cousin's house in Fucheng. He learned that he had been lingering in the Ma's Inn for seven or eight days, but before leaving, he left him five taels of silver, saying that the money would not be enough to suppress his body.

Based on the mentality of reporting good news but not bad news, Wang Fulin did not explain the twists and turns to his uncle. After personally sending him out of the Ma Family Inn, he turned back to the main hall and began to continue to translate the "Huizhou Prefecture Chronicles".

That night, none of the three people in the main room did well. Wang Fulin worked late at night until midnight to bed until 3 o'clock in the evening, and his mind was full of all kinds of data; Jin Bao was thinking about what he could do for his family and clenched his fists hard; Qiu Feng was thinking that a contract for selling his body not only ruined his freedom, but also ruined his future. Even if he had the opportunity to get in touch with books, what should he do in the future?

So, when the three of them got up early in the morning the next morning, everyone's eyes were covered with bloodshot, and it was obvious that the time to fall asleep was very short.

Tomorrow is the day when the grain chiefs of the 15th District gathered together to meet the county master. But this morning, Ye Junyao was absent for the first time. He made a noise that he had a cold and could not be in charge of the office when he was sick. The officials and servants in the county government were all aware of the cold that was about to enter the summer of June. In particular, Zhao Sicheng, the official of the household house, said to his party members proudly that the county master was guilty and dared not see anyone. In his words, the lord of a county could not even save a student he was optimistic about, and could not exempt him from the battle of the grain chief in his family. The county magistrate must be too cowardly.

When the officials of the Ministry took advantage of Zhao Sicheng, they easily controlled the county magistrate. Why didn’t they be proud?

The county magistrate does not care about the affairs, and there must be an individual acting. Of course, the county magistrate of this party is above the top. However, Ye County Zun, the county magistrate in the county magistrate, brought a sentence to ask the county school teacher Feng to temporarily act and take over the matter of visiting the grain chief. This was absolutely inconsistent with the rules, but Ye County Zun made a precedent, that is, when the prefectures and county magistrates went to Beijing to invite the court at the beginning of the year, the county school teacher Yang from Jixi County was appointed as the county magistrate!

However, Master Feng had previously sent a grain chief to discuss with the county magistrate for Wang Fulin's family, and obviously stood on Wang Fulin's side. Everyone in the six-house clerks knew about this matter. Therefore, Zhao Sicheng would not let the county master succeed in this trick. As soon as he learned that the county master was willing to take over, he immediately ran to the county magistrate's office to ask for a meeting with the county magistrate Fang.

She County is the head county of Huizhou Prefecture, so the county magistrate and the chief clerk are all available. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, these officials still had some abilities to exert their abilities. Now they are like a carrot and a pit, but there is no real power. Not only them, but even the dictionary is far inferior to the glory of the past. Therefore, Fang County Magistrate, as a native of Chun'an, was a county magistrate who was cooking oil in She County for more than two years, but there was basically no benefit. He basically had to leave when he went out. He and his wife and his old servant were guarding several acres of land in Chun'an's hometown. Not to mention the official airs, there was no meat or fish to eat on the table. It was even worse than the most inconspicuous bookkeeper in the six rooms below!

The county magistrate and the chief clerk, which are the two major miscellaneous officials in She County, are located in the northwest corner of the entire She County government, and there are only buildings that are protruding outside. When Zhao Sicheng entered the house, he felt that this place was even more shabby than his own official house. In the past, the head of a house like him looked down on the most promising official like the county magistrate. This was the first time he had come to his house after taking office as a minister. Because he was too anxious today, he only brought a box of cakes. Seeing the old servant receiving the gift and being happy, he knew that there must be a chance today.

Therefore, he bowed to the county magistrate Fang for the first time, and after sitting down, he said with a smile on his face: "Since the county magistrate is sick, he should be the second yin for a day or two. How can the school officials interfere? Jixi County is because the place is small and there is no county magistrate or chief clerk at all. So he had to let the county magistrate Yang be the acting assistant. The county magistrate is confused! The county town is just a wall, what does it look like if it really reaches Duan Fuzun's ears? The second yin should stand up without permission."

This was the first time that County Magistrate Fang heard the respectful title of Eryin when he beat a person, and he was a little fluttering. But he knew that he was just looking good, and he didn't easily talk to him like Tai Chi. Zhao Sicheng knew that the other party would not see a rabbit or show off his eagle, so he fought for a while and suddenly threw a bait.

"Besides, the grain chief takes office is just like the village chief takes office, which is a big deal. When I visit the county magistrate, I will pay my respects as usual. Ye County magistrate's family is well-off and may not be able to take it, but it is also a lot of money." Seeing that the expression on County Magistrate Fang's face gradually changed, but he still refused to let go, Zhao Sicheng had to take out his trump card, "Besides, the matter of summer tax is important. If the county magistrate delays the major matter due to this disease, the second Yin runs forward and gets things done, and it may not be impossible to make an exception and be upright."

County Magistrate Fang was shocked and stared at Zhao Sicheng incredibly. After a while, he said in a dry voice: "Don't lie to me, how could the Ming Dynasty have ever had such rules!"

Zhao Sicheng knew that County Chief Fang was a prison student, so he laughed dryly and said meaningfully: "Sometimes the rules are used to break it! Besides, Eryin's ren is almost full, right? At worst, Renman will return to his hometown. As long as he is not empty-handed, his wife and children can be happy at home, right? On the contrary, if he can really go further, wouldn't he be very happy? I think Eryin also knows that I am not alone."

County Magistrate Fang knew that there was someone behind Zhao Sicheng, and his face changed constantly. After a while, he took a deep breath and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it. Master Feng, then I'll say that as long as he gives up, I'll do this! "

Sure enough, County Magistrate Fang personally went to She County Academy. When he came back, he brought news that Master Feng claimed that he did not understand the practice and did not dare to be a county magistrate. Zhao Sicheng felt relieved and encouraged the other clerks from the six wings to ask for trouble for a while. Soon, a response came from the magistrate's office - Ye County Zun compromised and handed over to Fang County Magistrate Fang to temporarily sign the county magistrate!

Now, Zhao Sicheng was completely relieved. He happily drank a small wine in the official house that night. Even if Ye Junyao was not here, as long as the 5,000 taels of public expenses were finalized tomorrow morning, the overall situation would be decided!
Chapter completed!
