In the Years When I Was a Father

At this time, Liuyun Village.

“Brother, now I have sent another Zhifu from above, and I see that this man is not a good man!”

Mr. Tian, ​​with a sword on his waist, walked in with a big voice, his voice was loud, and his voice was loud.

Xie Yun, the master of the Liuyun Village, who is sitting on the throne, seems to be a lot of genius. Although he is a master of martial arts at a glance, he is a kind of generalist, but has a temperament of generals.

Xie Yunfan looked at the information about Qi Sheng sent by someone to investigate, and he could not help asking: “How can anyone be seen? How about the family servants?”

Tian Erer scratched his head and replied: “There are too many officers and soldiers escorted this time. I didn’t dare to look at it. When he was riding alone, I glanced carefully. It looked quite like a person from a distance!”

Tian Erji laughed twice and said, “As for the family servants, there are a total of six carriages. I followed a long way before I found out that there should be two women of this dog officer, and one should be this. The dog officer ’s son, there should be luggage in two carriages. There are about twenty domestic servants. “

“Twenty people? Not much.” Xie Yun glanced at the information in his hand again, and he didn’t speak for a while.

Tian Erji couldn’t see what Xie Yun thought, so he asked, “Boss, don’t we do nothing now? When this person sits firmly in Ningzhou, we won’t be able to take him for a while!”

Xie Yun shook his head, and his voice was dull: “First, press the soldiers to see what kind of person he is. If it were like the dog officer last time, I would kill him myself.”

Mr. Tian disagrees very much: “What do you say about this reason why such a person is transferred in vain for no reason? Good officials like Mr. Chen don’t know how to praise and promote officers, but they are transferred from other places who don’t understand the situation. I see those This **** court, is the mutual protection of officials and officials, and never thinks about us ordinary people! “

Xie Yun lowered his eyes and said: “Master Chen is indeed a good man, but unfortunately his ability is mediocre. He has served in Linxian for eight years. Although he loves the people like a son, he still can’t change Linxian’s plight. This alone is not enough for him Promoted to Zhifu. “

Tian Erji was puzzled and asked, “Is it enough to love the people as a child? Others are not as good as him!”

Xie Yun was afraid of his impulsive behavior and explained: “I condemned people to inquire about it. It is rumored that this senior Qi has made Pingzhou, which is a lower state city, a leap into a superior state city comparable to the canal port city. , Of which seven years have served in Zhixian County. “

Looking at Tian Tian’s confusion, Xie Yun continued: “That is to say, this Master Qi only used three years to make everyone in Pingzhou live a good life. If this person is really as rumored, the court sent him It is indeed for the people of Ningzhou. “

Tian Er’er couldn’t believe it, and justified: “How can there be such a good official in this world, I think that 80% of the dog officials themselves have passed it on, and there was no such one before. Bragging about how much he loves the people like a son, I am a little swindler! “

Xie Yun frowned, but solemnly ordered: “Whether it is a good official or not, we will know after a few days, we have a good rest these days, and remember that our brothers must not act lightly!”

The leader who was quietly listening to their argument next to him saw that the boss had spoken and ordered their orders. Although the second elder Tian was dissatisfied, he had to obey his orders.

Because Liu Xun’s speech was made by Xie Yun, the people in and out of Zhaizi stood up honestly. Some of the owners of the village were not as far-sighted as Xie Yun, but they did not want to easily become enemies with the government and slept down.

But Qingmuzhai, whose strength is only inferior to Liuyunzhai, is noisy for a while.

“Boss, we now have to give this unknown dog officer a good-looking look, and the provincial he put up his official post as a blessing!”

“Yes, boss, Liuyunzhai this group of darlings dare not go to us, we must give this dog officer some color to see!”

Liu Boss, the owner of Qingmuzhai Village, who was sitting on the first tiger’s back, was hesitant and asked with a frown: “Xie Yun’s sister really intends not to move? This is not like the kid’s style. Don’t deliberately deceive us.”

Qingmuzhai Er humorously said, “I’m afraid that little white face, brother, you care about what he does, we just kill the dog officer, and let the court know that our Ningzhou people are not like that. Bully! “

Qingmuzhai Three Masters agreed: “Second brother is right, Ningzhou should be in charge of our own family, how can the outside transfers be with us, that is, let Master Chen be in charge, it must be better than this person! “

Everyone else agreed, making Mr. Liu a headache.

After so many encounters, Mr. Liu deeply felt that Xie Yun was the kind of person with a bowed belly. At this moment, he didn’t move, and it really made Liu Dazhuang a little hesitant.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Dazhuang finally said: “Wait, wait a few days and say, now is the autumn harvest, let’s go home and harvest the crops.”

The following people whispered and complained: “What else do we have, when we slaughtered those dog officials and profiteers, but the money has been made out, but the land has been deserted, I think this is deliberately not to let us live.”

Liu Dazhuang hated: “Accept as much as you can, don’t collect food and wait for the winter to drink the northwest wind! Hurry up, don’t be bothered by this.”

Everyone heard and dissipated, but the two heads and three heads who opposed it just looked at each other and left quietly.

Ten miles ahead, he went to the next post. Qi Sheng did not plan to stop anymore. He ordered everyone to go to the post with a rest, but felt dizzy before he finished.

The soldiers beside him also fell down together.

“Haha, 2nd Brother, it’s done!”

It’s a pity that I didn’t wait for a moment when the three heads were happy.

“… Three brothers be careful, they cheat!”

The scene was chaotic. After the Qingmuzhai people were all tied up, Qi Sheng came over and took a closer look.

Wei Qianhu, an officer who followed the guard, said: “Sir, this is the second and third heads of the nearby Qingmu Village. The two have been doing things for years. Do you think they will be taken back for interrogation or beheaded?”

Qi Sheng stepped forward and asked them: “Why come? Robbery or death?”

Pressed on the ground, the bundled and extremely strong three-headed house snorted, disdainful: “For your dog-like officer, killing the name of the Tianxing Road, robbing the rich and the poor!”

Qi Sheng smiled: “Not bad, it’s quite cultural!”

Seeing that he was not honest, Wei Qianhu stepped forward and kicked his feet: “Honestly, adults are kind enough to spare your dog’s life for a while, and then dare to disrespect, and now serve you with severe punishment!”

Those two heads and three heads didn’t care at all, and they shouted at Qi Sheng loudly, and Wei Qianhu was angry, picked up the whip, and slammed at them.

Qi Sheng saw that the two were getting close to each other before persuading Wei Qianhu to stop, “Let’s do this first, and wait until the house is over to interrogate.”

Wei Qianhu took orders and **** a bunch of people in Qingmu Village to tie up. Then he led a few soldiers to lead the way.

After entering the carriage, Liu and Qi Xiuli, who were originally sitting in the rear car, also sat inside. When Qi Sheng came in, they looked over with concern.

Qi Sheng appeased them: “It’s okay, it’s all a bit of a nuisance, and it will be settled when the next post, there are some towns in front, and no one will dare to come again.”

The three of them relaxed after seeing his expression unchanged, but the robbers who were tied behind still couldn’t help but scolded: “This group of short-eyed people, no wonder Ningzhou is so poor, it is this group. People hurt! “

Qi Sheng shook his head and began to think with his eyes closed. Now it seems that things are more serious than he thought. This group of people even dare to hack and kill arrogantly, but it indirectly illustrates their hatred for the court officials, Qi Sheng is curious, Ningzhou What attitude should the people have?

When he left Pingzhou, the people bowed down and bowed to each other. Ningzhou was better, and he had given him such a gift before he took office.

On the second day, a group of people set off from the station early and traveled to a nearby town at noon before planning to take a good rest.

Although it is a town here, but the shops are scattered and there are few people on the street, Qi Sheng was a little puzzled.

Wei Qianhu knew something about it, saying, “I don’t know. Many of Ningzhou’s land was in the hands of wealthy landlords and corrupt officials. Several riots broke out in the past few months. The landlords were in a hurry. In fact, it ’s better not to hire people to plant in the wilderness. Now, in October, the people are busy harvesting some food from their homes, and are busy planting some long-lived radish vegetables, or digging wild vegetables up the mountain to prepare for the winter. “

Qi Sheng was clear, some lamented that the people here are not easy to live, originally Ningzhou had less land, and most of them were in the hands of the rich class. Nowadays, the officials and bandits are fighting each other and hurting, and directly let the people here even collect a little food. Not yet.

Qi Sheng was silent, and he didn’t say much. When he used lunch, he didn’t expect that the bound Erjia almost ran away. He looked at Wei Qianhu and hesitated, talking eloquently. Qi Sheng guessed a few points under his heart.

The bandits collude, or these bandits are usually ordinary people!

Qi Sheng has a headache. The people here are really tough, but they are comforting themselves. Even toughness is just for survival. It should be understood.

Although Qi Sheng understood it for them, he was not in a mood to stay any longer. The party quickly hurriedly arrived and finally arrived at the Ningzhou prefectural government office.

At the gate of the prefectural government office, officials who had been waiting for a long time had been here to greet them. After Qi Sheng saw them at the ceremony, he took a seat.

After being seated, an official shouting for Qi Sheng stood up and scolded: “Adult came here thousands of miles away. I don’t want these gangsters and gangsters to dare to stop the road and rob. Lord, if you have the following opinion, you should kill the chickens and monkeys, so that these lawless gangsters Know that I am inviolable towards the official authority! “

Many people in the seat responded. Before the bandits colluded, the officials and bandits were incompatible with each other. These little powerless officials were harassed by the gangsters. Now that Qi Sheng has arrived, he wants to borrow the new prefect. The situation is good for them to vent.

Qi Sheng smiled and did not speak, looking at them, you said what I said, how the local people are, how the local bandits are full of evil.

“Sir, Xiaguan Chenwen Bing, a prestigious county in Linxian County, has a word to reprimand.”

When a group of people were noisy, an official with some temples and some whiteness stood up and saluted Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng waved his hand: “Master Chen doesn’t need to pay much courtesy. Today’s banquet is a place where the official and colleagues will celebrate the banquet. These red tapes will be waived today.”

Many people flattered Qi Sheng, Chen Wenbing couldn’t see Qi Sheng’s idea, so he said according to the original plan: “Adult, the sergeant has different opinions. The sergeant believes that the officials and the people are now in a stalemate. Most of them are helpless choices for local people who ca n’t survive. Although they made trouble, they never hurt innocent people. Now they directly kill and cause more public complaints. It ’s better to be lenient or tolerant. . “

When Chen Wenbing finished speaking, he attracted one person’s irony: “Master Chen, I said why are you still thinking about these untouchables, but I don’t know if they are not convinced of their misfortune, and your elders may have been promoted and praised for a long time. This county has been suffering for eight years! “

Chen Wenbing was speechless for a moment. Some people were angry to expose the pain in his heart in front of everyone, and some were anxious about what Qi Sheng would do.

Qi Sheng looked at the full glass of wine and smiled and said, “The official came here and was unfamiliar, and he really can’t act recklessly. However, the suggestions of all the ministers will be kept in mind and will stay in this for a few days. Understand the situation in Ningzhou and deal with it. “

After finishing the drink, he said, “Come on, everyone, no longer mention official business today, let’s have a drink.”

Everyone had all kinds of thoughts in mind, but the boss at the head had already spoken, and they were not good to say more. They all held up wine glasses and chatted with Qi Sheng about the beautiful mountains and rivers in Ningzhou that are worth recalling.
