The county government has limited space, and it is impossible to let all the people who eat melons come in.People soon spontaneously elected several respected old men as representatives.

This time, the incident was not a vicious incident such as murder and arson, and there was no need for a trial. The group went directly to the wing of the county government.

Xu Mingxu first ordered the guards: "Go and bring some stools for the elders."

The back office is not big, so he gave up one side room for Tu Hao's office. The rest of the work was all handled in such a small place, and the space was already very cramped.

Usually there are few people, but it doesn't feel crowded.But now that there are so many people, I suddenly feel that there is nowhere to go.

A few guards were very winking, and stepped forward to move some things that could be moved, and some simply moved them to the yard first, and only then barely vacated a fairly wide space.They moved a bench over, seated a few old people, and hurriedly brought tea and some soft pastries.

Elderly people are very favored in this era.Especially old people like them, who are not only old, but also healthy and clear-headed, are even more respected, and what they say has weight.

Even so, there are very few people who can really take it for granted.Being treated so warmly, their hearts softened a little, and their hearts, which were originally partial to the local good people, were slightly corrected.Of course, they still didn't believe that Lu Yuanwai would do such immoral things.

However, they couldn't help but not believe it.

Since Xu Mingxu would say that in public, he already had solid evidence.It's good that Lu Yuanwai didn't make trouble. He made such a fuss, which directly attracted the attention of the whole county, so it was much easier to deal with.

It wasn't that complicated at first.For a well-known and powerful family like the Lu family, even if ordinary people are being bullied, they usually have nowhere to ask for help, and no one will believe what they say.

Although the yamen is here, the people are afraid of the imperial court and subconsciously feel that the government is on the side of the Lu family, and they dare not even sue.Not to mention that the Lu family even sent people to watch over them, even if they wanted to come to the county government, they couldn't come.

This is the clue that Ye Dahua discovered.He suffered from hesitation in dealing with his ex-cousin-in-law's issue, and he was so tired that Tu Ying's reputation was later damaged.He didn't talk about it, but kept it in his heart.Now that such a thing happened, after a secret investigation, he immediately brought people under control, and discussed it with Xu Mingxu and Tu Hao, which led to today's big drama.

Their side was fully prepared, but the Lu family and the Ma family didn't know that today was just a hasty response.Compared with the two, what else can be said?

Both families fined a huge amount of money, part of which was used to compensate the victims for their losses, and part of which was used to purchase farming and other supplies.In addition, those who participated in the crime were counted as one, and they were all fined different degrees of corvee according to the severity of the crime, and they were not allowed to spend money to let others do it for them.

After going through such an experience, although the Lu Ma family didn't suffer any injuries, they were greatly humiliated.It can be expected that for a long time, people will learn to be low-key.

Other similar rich families in the town will also know what is called a lesson from the past, and dare not use their brains again.

Xu Mingxu, the new county magistrate, naturally gained a wave of favor among the common people.The officials under him who have shadows from various families behind them will definitely restrain themselves in a short time, so that they will no longer feel that this young county magistrate is easy to fool or even manipulate.

Xu Mingxu was very satisfied with the results, and then he did another thing: "Choose a day to invite students from the county to a poetry meeting. This time, let's pick a few obedient ones to run errands for you."

Tu Hao didn't expect Xu Mingxu to do so many things after only going out for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and pride that my family has a child who has just grown up. He hugged him and wanted to rub his face: "Brother is amazing." However, the height The difference is too serious, I can only rub my neck.

The handsome young man has a whip in one hand and candy in the other hand, a small Taiping County is really not enough for him to play.

The fluffy head rubbed back and forth in the hollow of his neck, Xu Mingxu shrank his neck subconsciously with a smile, but he was not willing to push it away: "Oh, don't make trouble."

Ye Dahua, who was following behind, couldn't see it, so she reached out and grabbed the collar, and slipped the little mouse out: "Speak as soon as you talk, how old are you, and you still stick to others?"

"Tch." Tu Hao curled his lips, "Anyway, my brother won't dislike me. I'm so cute!" Even though he said that, he still stood up straight.

Ye Dahua was almost annoyed by him, she pinched his cheek as soon as she stretched out her finger: "Let me see how thick-skinned this little mouse is?"

Seeing this, Xu Mingxu snatched the little mouse into his arms, lowered his head and frowned and rubbed his face: "Little mouse is tender, don't use so much force, it's all red." His face was rosy, and his eyes were big and bright. No matter how he looked, he was so cute and cute. How could anyone be willing to bully him?

He was afraid that Ye Dahua would make another move, so he said, "Anyway, it's at home, so what does it matter if it's not outside?"

"You just get used to it." Ye Dahua had nothing to do with them, she could only say, "I think you're too light-handed this time, those people have been honest for a while, after a while, they will definitely come back to life. Still In my opinion, it’s better to be ruthless this time, to make an example of others! In such a short time, I have caught so many clues, if I spend a little more time to investigate seriously, maybe I can find out something.”

Who doesn't know who these so-called big families are? On the surface, they look glamorous. They build bridges, pave roads, donate clothes and porridge one by one, and they look more benevolent than the other.Actually?I don't know how many shady secrets there are.

Xu Mingxu shook his head: "It's not appropriate." Seeing Ye Dahua's disapproving expression, he explained, "We can't be killed immediately. Although we are officials and represent the imperial court, these people in Taiping County The factions are deeply intertwined. If they are really dealt with to death, I am afraid that other families will not be like now, just gloating; they will stand with Ma and Lu. If they are really connected, I am afraid that the county magistrate will It doesn't count."

A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake.If he really offended these local forces to death, his life in Taiping County would be very difficult in the future.

Ye Dahua thought for a while, but still felt unwilling: "Is that the way to go? From now on, it depends on their faces?" What kind of big families are these?In his eyes, they are just a few grasshoppers jumping around, and he can crush them to death with just a slight lift of his hand.As the eldest grandson of the Duke's family, only others can see his face. How can he try to see other people's faces?

"That's not true." Xu Mingxu smiled, "Boil the frogs in warm water, and some of them will look good in the future." If these people are well-behaved and obedient, then hello, me, hello, everyone;As for now, the first thing he has to do is to gain a firm foothold and minimize the influence of these big families on the county government.

Ye Dahua didn't know what he would do, and shook his head with his hands behind his back: "Oh, you scholars, you just have too many twists and turns in your stomach. If you need me, just call me." There is a civil servant uncle , he is not like the children of other noble families, he is full of disdain and dislike for civil servants.

To be a general, you have to shed your blood; to be a civil servant, you also have a lot of knowledge.He doesn't understand, but he won't force himself to do it his own way.Anyway, he still stayed in Taiping County for a long time, and it was interesting to see his little cousin messing with things.

Xu Mingxu wasn't polite to him either, and took up the conversation directly, expressing that he would never be polite.

In this way, Boss Tu's re-recruitment of new assistants is not only obedient, but also a lot more active than when he took office.

The number of new assistants has increased from two to six.But Tu Hao still felt that there were not enough people.

Not to mention Tu Hao, even Zhang Tuantuan, who pretended to be Tu Hao's student, was sent around.

Taiping County looks small, but when it comes to the establishment of workshops, everyone still runs around every day.It's just that Tu Hao is good at being the boss. Although he is very busy at work and occasionally works overtime, he still rests on rest days.

On the day of Xiumu, Tu Hao got up tenaciously. After washing, he stretched out his hand towards Xu Mingxu, felt himself being hugged, and fell asleep again.

Xu Mingxu hugged the little mouse for a while, and ordered softly: "There is no need to prepare breakfast, we will go outside to eat something casually later. Prepare an extra set of clothes."

With the end of spring plowing, many cattle and horse traders rushed to Taiping County one after another.Tu Hao has said many times in private that he wants to buy a big horse.

Today is not the first day of the horse market, but there is no need to worry about good horses being picked first.In the past two days, most people were waiting and watching. After all, the price of a big animal like a horse is really high.

Several people were wearing casual clothes, and they all looked like rich men.If they were in other places, I am afraid that some people would pay more attention to them. In Mashi, there must be no real poor people.

Manager Ma had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw them, he trotted over courteously: "Xu...Young master, all young masters, please come with the villain."

It is said that the horse market is just a temporary enclosure outside the city. In addition to horses, there are also various livestock such as cattle, donkeys and mules.

The horse market they came to is relatively clean, with some stone slabs on the floor, but there are still various smells of livestock that cannot be avoided.

Tu Hao grew up so old, and he hadn't been influenced like this before, so he immediately wanted to retreat: "Brother..."

Others are not so squeamish.Xu Mingxu is a person who directly engages in breeding, a mere horse market, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Ye Dahua was already complaining about her little cousin there: "Squeamish, you have never been to a military camp, the smell... hehehe."

Tu Hao twisted his face to express his refusal: "Anyway, I won't go to the military camp." He turned around and sought an alliance, "Gaotuan, you are not used to it, are you?"

Gao Tuantuan said calmly, "I go to the military camp every year." When he was a child, his parents took turns taking him, but now he goes by himself, and occasionally he also needs to take his brother with him.

Qi Qi made up the knife on the side: "Master, you have never been to the military camp alone."

Tu Hao remained silent, and buried his face in Xu Mingxu's chest.It's amazing to have been to the barracks, huh?

The author has something to say:

Big Sun=￣ω￣=: You can’t go to the military camp.

Little Mouse (￣△￣;): Why?

Big Sun=￣ω￣=: The conditions in the barracks are too harsh, a fat mouse like you will be eaten if you go there.

Little mouse ╭(╯^╰)╮: Don’t be ass me, do I seem to be such an easy-going person?

Big Sun=￣ω￣=: You are not human, you are a rat spirit.
