God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Then why do you put in so much effort?

Du He waved his hand: "Patriarch Zhou please eat the ledger!"

"Yes, Master!"

Two burly men stepped forward, took Patriarch Zhou down suddenly, and brought him to the box. One man held him down, and the other began to tear up the ledger and stuff it into the fat man's mouth. Of course, these two were Du He's powerful The subordinates are still very considerate in doing things. From time to time, they will pour some water for Patriarch Zhou, but it is boiling hot water.

"Woooooooo..."

Patriarch Zhou was so hot that he trembled all over and whimpered, and within a short time, his lips were scalded with blisters.

Everyone looked at it, and nothing changed.

This Du He is too ruthless!

Someone wanted to leave, but when he looked up, he saw that at some point, there were more than a dozen tall and thick men standing at the door, looking murderous.

For a while, it was neither for everyone to leave nor to stay.

Seeing that five ledgers were eaten, Patriarch Zhou rolled his eyes and passed out.

Du He said lightly: "I have always done things fairly, and I like to convince people with reasoning. Of course, the premise is that everyone respects me. Master Zhou ate up this account book in front of me. This is a demonstration to me. Hey, hum, if you don't give me face, why should I give him face?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Never dare to underestimate Du He again.

Although this guy is young, he can be said to be ruthless and ruthless in his actions, much more ruthless than Qiu Wanjia and the like back then.

Du He stood up, picked up the account book, clapped his hands, and said, "I tell you the truth, this evening, this account book and the previous memorial will be sent to Chang'an, and it will take only half an hour to go to Chang'an." Time, at that time, whether His Majesty will send Dali Temple to investigate, or send the Criminal Department to investigate, it is beyond my control, you should think about it carefully!"

After finishing speaking, Du He turned around and walked out.

In the lobby, there was a sudden chaos.

Before coming, everyone was full of confidence, thinking that they could fool Du He, but they didn't know that Du He didn't act according to the common sense, and a few boards were knocked down, which confused everyone, especially the account book, if it was sent to the palace, the emperor would Under His Majesty's anger, maybe everyone can't even protect themselves.

"Patriarch Chen, tell me, what should I do?"

"Patriarch Liang, you have always been our backbone, this time you have to come forward and have a good discussion with the county magistrate!"

"Yes, this ledger cannot be sent out!"

Everyone discussed.

However, no one has a good solution.

At this time, I saw a man in his 30s walking in with a smile.

The man walked in, bowed his hands to everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the Secretary-General of the County Magistrate of Huxian County during the Xiama Zhou. From what I have heard, I don’t know, Patriarchs, can you think of any good solutions?”

Ma Zhou?

Surprised everyone?

Ma Zhou is so famous!

It wasn't because Ma Zhou had served as an imperial official before, but because this guy was implicated by his nephew and was almost beheaded. At that time, there was an uproar in the whole Tang Dynasty, and many people in Hu County knew about it, and many people were even still fighting He regrets.

"So it's Master Ma!"

"Disrespect, disrespect!"

Everyone stood up to say hello.

Ma Zhou's gentle appearance looks like a spring breeze, compared with the vicious Du He, he is like a living Bodhisattva.

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Everyone, don't call me Lord Ma anymore. I am no longer an official of the court, but even a commoner. I will never be an official. Now I am just an assistant to the county magistrate, that is, the secretary-general." .”

"What kind of official position is this secretary-general?" Everyone was surprised.

Ma Zhou explained: "This is a new post created by the county magistrate, not an official position established by the imperial court. As the saying goes, it is just to assist the county magistrate to take care of some chores. In terms of status, I am not even as good as everyone here."

Look at how humble Ma Zhou is when he speaks.

It's not like Du He, who feeds people the ledger if they disagree.

Therefore, in less than a moment, Ma Zhou became one with everyone.

At this time, Master Chen said: "Secretary Ma, to tell you the truth, in the account book that the county magistrate presented just now, all of you present have some improper contacts with Qiu Wanjia. If this account book reaches the court, I'm afraid It will cause an uproar, and the county will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, it will be the general public who will suffer, so, Secretary Ma, please persuade the county magistrate again, please put the overall situation first, can this matter be postponed for a while?"

"Yes, Patriarch Chen is right!"

"That's right, it's the people who suffer!"

"I can only ask Secretary Ma for this matter!"

Everyone agreed and looked at Ma Zhou eagerly.

……

Chapter 673 There are more ways than difficulties

Seeing this, Ma Zhou smiled on the surface.

I sneered in my heart.

It sounds good, but are you afraid that the general public will suffer?

Hmph, aren't you trying to save your own lives?

In this era, although the gentry had a great influence, compared with the entire Tang Dynasty, unless they had five surnames and seven wangs, other gentry were nothing at all, especially the local gentry in Hu County, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, It is not much different from ants, therefore, as long as the account book is sent to Chang'an, and His Majesty Li Er gives an order, the entire Hu county may be shaken.

Everyone is really scared!

Ma Zhou thought to himself, these guys are indeed as shameless as Du He predicted.

He smiled and said: "Everyone's worries are not unreasonable. However, how can the county magistrate do things under my control, but this matter is not without a turnaround. There is a mess, and there are tens of thousands of people displaced and homeless. The county magistrate issued a military order in front of His Majesty. If the troubles in Hu County are not resolved, he is willing to go back with his head. Think about it, everyone. It involves the life, death and reputation of the county magistrate himself, if anyone opposes him at this time, there is nothing he can't do, let alone sending the ledger to Chang'an, even if he is afraid of murder and arson, it is not impossible!"

Everyone's heart beat endlessly.

It turns out there are such things.

No wonder Du He did things regardless of the consequences.

At this time, Chen Yifa stood up and said: "Secretary Ma is right. The most important thing for the county magistrate right now is to repair the city wall. My Chen family is willing to donate [-] guan to help the county magistrate. I also ask the magistrate to look at it." I, Chen Yifa, do not send this ledger to Chang'an for the sake of seniors and juniors."

Six thousand?
