Chapter 146 Guarantee
Su Yulong felt more and more ashamed. After the other party asked, he told the other party about the reason.
“No one is insured?”
When Zhou Shize heard this, he didn't know how to speak for a moment, and he felt a little funny and angry.
He never expected that it would be such a small problem that he had never paid attention to and thought he didn't need to pay attention to.
But this small problem that was inconspicuous in his eyes was now stumping this young man who was very likely to shine in his future official career.
He was also angry at his brother's selfishness. The family that should have loved each other completely ignored this younger brother.
He pondered for a while, and his heart moved, "By the way, Brother Su, I don't know where you live?"
"Xiping Village..." Su Yulong didn't know why the other party suddenly asked about this, but just replied blankly.
"Xiping Village..."
Zhou Shize secretly remembered it in his heart, and turned to laugh and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Su, you don't have to worry about the county trial insurance. I will arrange it for you!"
"Then...thank you, Brother Zhou!" Su Yulong was extremely surprised and hurriedly thanked.
Although he was not clear about how the other party behaved, since the other party said this, he was naturally sure.
In Qingyang City.
What is completely different from the savage and backward atmosphere before is that there is now a quiet and peaceful atmosphere here, with not so many fighting and fighting, not so many arrogant robbery and murder...
Since the yamen was re-established, no one dared to be as presumptuous as before. Even some elderly people would bow to the county yamen as if they were afraid of gods when they passed by the county yamen gate, which made Zhou Shize, who accidentally saw this scene, couldn't help but feel amazed but also sighed a lot.
These old people have experienced the rare mountain torrent that year. They have witnessed the "mountain god" appearing to save people, so they believe in such piety!
Naturally, the identity of Zhou Shize, the county magistrate, instantly changed from a "hazardless court lackey" to a "messenger sent by the mountain god to save everyone". His attitude also changed drastically. Not only did he lose the original embarrassment, but his children were more respectful to him and must not offend him.
Otherwise, if you anger the mountain god, you will definitely not be able to take it!
Although Zhou Shize himself does not really admire ghosts and gods, he felt relieved when he saw that just a good "mountain god" could play such a good guiding role, and he also had a new understanding of the so-called ghosts and gods.
"As long as it can bring a better life to the people, it is the real mountain god who will come, and I will be the first week!"
After having the identity of "Mountain God Messenger", his status here has become vaguely the first, and even the clan elders who used to speak the most effectively in the past must respect his opinions. Therefore, with these conveniences, he proposed to build a real school, invite teachers to teach students, and strive to cultivate real talents.
Building a school is extremely rare in Qingyang City. After discussing it, several big families in the city decided to give the mountain god a face, so they agreed to invest in the construction of a school together. As for the candidate for this teacher, he has specially found a scholar from another place to serve as the teacher. If he only teaches children to recognize words and read, this person's level is more than enough.
However, although the county government has been opened and there are several yamen runners under his command, it is a bit of a special fact. However, few people come to report the case or beat drums to make trouble. Perhaps because of the customs here, they resolve the disputes themselves and do not seek help from outsiders easily.
This cannot be corrected for a moment, and Zhou Shize can only find another way. This has been much more restrained than the chaotic scene before, and this is a good thing.
At this moment, Zhou Shize was sitting in front of the desk and flipping through the files of the past. But at this moment, his brows raised, as if he was remembering something. He looked up at the master beside him. This master was a young scholar he selected from many people who knew literacy and etiquette here. Although he had no fame and reputation, he had a good personality and was considered an exception.
"Master Lu, do you know where Xiping Village is?"
Master Lu was reciting the criminal law of the Holy Dynasty. Hearing this, he hurriedly put down the criminal law book in his hand, revealing a slightly dark and thin but gentle ordinary face. His eyes showed some memories, and then replied, "Sir, as far as the villain knows, Naxiping Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of the neighboring county. I have never been to the specific location..."
Zhou Shize thought, "How far is it from Qingyang?"
Master Lu thought about it carefully, "It's not far, you can go back and forth within a day. Do you want to go to Xiping Village?"
"Yes." Zhou Shize nodded slightly and smiled, "Go to meet a friend."
"Go with me tomorrow morning."
"As for the order." Although Master Lu was a little confused about why the county magistrate who came from other places had friends in that remote village, this was not something he could ask, so he seized the time to arrange his itinerary.
Seeing the master leaving, Zhou Shize gently tapped the paper with his fingertips, but he was unintentional in the case file for a while. He was even more expectant and curious about the meeting with Brother Su tomorrow.
...
In an ordinary restaurant, Su Minghu, with a restrained expression, and his friends were drinking with a middle-aged man dressed in Confucian scholars. All of them were respectful and pleased each other. However, the man took a few sips of wine casually and waved his hand to interrupt their questioning.
"I already know your purpose, and it's not difficult to protect you. I just want to say ugly things first. First, you must not cause any trouble for me. If I involve me, don't blame me for being merciless. Second, it's not easy to protect you. You should understand the rules..."
"I understand, understand!"
Su Minghu nodded repeatedly, and under the gesture of the scholar's eyes, he took out a small bag tightly wrapped in oil cloth from his arms, which was bulging inside, shaking gently, and there was a faint sound of money colliding, and then handed it over to the man.
He took it casually, and the man thought about it, and then a little smile appeared again on the corner of his mouth. His eyes swept over the four scholars in front of him, and finally fell on Su Minghu who was a little reluctant to leave. He nodded slowly and said, "Since you understand the rules, I will write a letter of guarantee for you in a few days. I am familiar with the people in this county government, and maybe I will take care of you a little."
"Thank you, sir!"
Su Minghu, who was already heartbroken by this money, had a lit up hearing this, and he thought that the money was not too much of a loss.
Just when they were having a good time, the waiter at the door happened to recruit several guests, and they were all young scholars.
After all, the county exam is approaching recently, and many scholars who are interested in this exam have taken the initiative to come to the county town, either making friends or attending some poetry meetings, rather than continuing to study poetry and books behind closed doors at home...
