Nan'an County is a tight county with only five or six thousand households, and it is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture.

The county magistrate Zheng Shouxuan is an old pedant. After he finally got an official position by virtue of his Mingjing status at half a young age, he was sent to this insignificant remote county as a county lieutenant.

First the county lieutenant, and then the county magistrate, he has been with this land for three years after three years.

But Nan'an County is a somewhat xenophobic county, or in other words, it is a territory where the gentry is powerful.Zheng Shouxuan was undoubtedly emptied, and had to be a clay magistrate in a corner.Most of the pawns in the county government are local people. Although they are not well-known, they are familiar with the details of the landforms, and they have the same nose with the country gentry and local tyrants.Even though Zheng Shouxuan wanted to rectify at the beginning, after encountering a few obstacles, he seemed to accept his fate and nestled in the backyard of the county government all day long, reading his books and composing his poems, and seldom took care of the affairs of the government.

The county magistrate is dormant, and the power is left behind. Needless to say, the county government of Nan'an County is a model that a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

On the muddy field road after the rain, two people in long gowns walked with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Their appearance is far more neat and tidy than ordinary people, and they don't look like they earn a living by picking up dirt.Those words just now were said by one of the chubby people named Liu He.

He watched Xu Sanshi bend down to pick up a hard-to-see rock from the ground. His long shirt was soaked with sweat, making him look miserable. Just by looking at his face, it was clear that he was in an imminent situation. breaking point.

But Liu He didn't care.

He himself was almost in the same state.

"Damn it! Newly appointed! Yu County Captain!" Xu Sanshi crushed the dry soil under his feet, and said through gritted teeth, "If he keeps messing around like this, the entire county magistrate will be turned upside down by him!"

This is the autumn of the 17th year of Zhenguan.

It was supposed to be a season of high and refreshing autumn, but the two people who were talking now were all sweating profusely, and their expressions were not good words.

"But Zheng Mingfu seems very happy." Liu He said suspiciously, it seemed that he didn't have the slightest respect for the parent official.

Xu Sanshi and Liu He are both magistrates of Nan'an County.

Xu Sanshi was in charge of the official house, while Liu He was in charge of the household house.

Although this Nan'an County only bears the name of a tight county, these two houses are the most lucrative places in the county government.

That's why Liu He has a plump face, which is completely different from his somewhat leisurely and elegant name. Although Xu Sanshi is a little taller and thinner, his cheeks are rosy and shiny.

Of course, this is talking about them in the past.

Now Xu Sanshi and Liu He, one is so thin that his belly has disappeared twice, and the other is so tired that his face is dark. At first glance, it can be seen that the fatigue flowing from up and down the mountain, what a bitter word.

This difficult matter had to start two months ago.

The rotation of official positions such as county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant is already the norm for the county government. Only those who are not well-known, such as the chief bookkeeper, can live in one place for many years.No matter who the new official is, he will eventually recognize the reality under the high-pressure situation. Xu Ling from Nan'an County has witnessed this more than a dozen times, and he has never failed.

Except Yu Yu.

Yu Yu is the newly appointed county captain of Nan'an County two months ago.

Nan'an County is just an ordinary county, and the person who can be thrown here to be an official should not have a good background. At most, he is a lucky student of scientific research. Whether it's the master book who sits upright and the slippery Xu Ling underneath, they don't take this matter to heart at all.

Yu Yu took office quietly, and did not inform anyone in the county government. He only rode on the horse with two small packages in the early morning of a certain day.

But in just two days, he made a big mess!

Liu He gritted his teeth, and when he thought of this person's name, he still felt an uncontrollable sense of bitterness.

After all, this matter started from his house magistrate.

Houses and houses are naturally in charge of money coming and going.From April every year, pawns will start to get busy collecting tax and silver, which is undoubtedly a good dish for households to make money.If you want to talk about how greedy the money that should be paid is, it is only the brave and fat people who dare to stretch out their hands, so they will not mess around.

The hands and feet should not be in the tax money, but in the households who pay the tax.

Leaving aside other places, the "rules" of Nan'an County have always been the same. When the people hand over the silver, they must not only prepare the tax money, but also prepare the "small package".

This "small bag" is very famous.

To be honest, I want to pay these big masters for their hard work!By convention, it is [-]% of the tax money, but if the pawn wants to punish you, even [-]% to [-]% is not allowed.

There is indeed suffering to speak.

This benefit, if those officials who took office have a wink, they will naturally have a share, after all, this is a sum of money that is not recorded.

However, within two days of Na Yuji's new appointment, the handover affairs were still being sorted out, so he often wandered around the county office.After turning around, he happened to enter the scene that was being confiscated.

The clerk who collected the tax that day was very lazy, fearing that he would be blinded by the days of sitting comfortably all year round. He didn't stop the new county captain when he came in, and even urged the tax-paying farmer to hurry up in a tone of impatience. Handed over the packet.It's also to blame for the scribe's greed. The small bag that should have been [-]% doubled when he touched it up and down.

The farmer only brought the customary money, how could he take out other money?

So he had no choice but to be dragged aside bitterly to sign and draw a pledge. There is a saying that he owes money.

Before the farmer's thumbprint was pressed, Yu Yu stopped him.

The handsome but indifferent man paced back and forth a few steps between the silver cabinet and the drawer table, raised his hand suddenly, and took away the pledge note to be signed and the account book that was being registered .

This simple and rude behavior stunned all the scribes present at that time.

Hearing Nayu County Lieutenant speak softly, even so, he said to the farmers in a cold tone: "Maybe they have made a mistake, sir, let's go back and wait first. If there is another mistake, someone will look for it at that time." When he pushed the farmer to go out, the clerk realized that the important item was taken away, and a few brave ones wanted to go up and grab it directly, but the county captain inadvertently "staggered" a step, bang He slammed his palm on a shelf that came in the door.

The word "split" was by no means a random invention of his.

The scribe swore.

There was a thud in his heart.

I saw Yu Xianwei standing firm, and the next moment, the shelf seemed to be dismembered by a strong force, and the decorations on the shelf collapsed!

They couldn't help swallowing, couldn't help but look at the broken shelves, and then silently watched Yu County Wei go away.

It is impossible to seize by force.

After the county lieutenant left with the damn note and ledger, the clerk came to his senses and hurried to find the magistrate Liu He, who was so surprised that the tea he was eating spewed out of his nostrils .

When Liu He thought of the embarrassment that day, his anger became even more intense.

Xu Sanshi sighed, "Tell me about that day, if you can snatch the account book back, it will be fine. How can there be anything later?" He wiped his sweat, still clutching an unfinished book, But as soon as he saw the handwriting on it, he turned his head away in disgust.He could have ignored it, but for some unknown reason, he did not do so after all, but just talked to Liu He angrily.

Liu He trembled his stomach, glared at Xu Sanshi angrily, and said in a rough voice: "Then why don't you pay attention to your own troubles? Since you were caught by him on the fifth day and forged evidence!"

The pass is an identity document that people need to carry when they leave a certain place. They usually apply in their own county, and then the county government verifies the details before submitting it to the state secretary for issuance.Because the state division is far away from the counties it manages, the documents submitted are usually determined by the local authorities.

Xu Sanshi handles personnel affairs, and has his own means of earning money in many contexts.There are often people who use his hands to make some changes, and easily implement the documents and leave the county. There are too many hands and feet that can be moved behind the scenes. If they are listed, they are all ways to make money.

"The Yu County Captain made trouble at my place that day, and I didn't get it right, so you should know that he is a stubborn person. How could you be spied on by him? This is a big trick! Not to be outdone, Liu He scolded Xu Sanshi with his voice, his disheveled appearance did not seem like a victory, but the more he talked, the more unwilling he became.

Xu Sanshi said in a muffled voice: "It's just a little money to change the place of residence for someone, how can it be called a big deal?" Even though he said so, his heart was still pounding.

After all, what happened on his side is not small.

Ever since something happened to the family room, the other five rooms have been very cautious, and no one is allowed to enter or leave normally.If it is said that the official room is not heavily guarded, it is of course not.

But among the people who went in and out to do things, on that day, on that day, County Captain Nayu seized the opportunity to find out a living gangster among the crowd who had passed through the post!

Whenever Xu Sanshi thought of the scene of that day, his calf trembled.

He is making money, but he is not reckless.

This cover-up of one's identity is just an ordinary business.If you want to say that there are more than these big money next to you, you are familiar with such trivial matters.

How do you know that it is such an ordinary matter, and there is still a gangster trying to pass through the customs in Nan'an County!

The posting of his reward list is still posted outside the county government office for people to see!

Who would have thought that guy would be so daring, he made changes in disguise, and took money to forge his past!

It's terrifying!

As long as Xu Sanshi thought of Yu County Captain's icy face that day, he was afraid that he would stealthily cut himself off in the middle of the night.Ever since he knew that the seemingly skinny county lieutenant was actually very skilled in martial arts, Xu Sanshi always had a feeling of fear.

If it wasn't for Xu Sanshi and Liu He's troubles like this, although the two officials in the Yamen are not considered to be well-received, they still have a comfortable life. Why would they hold a pen at this noon? With a broken book, stepping on the muddy field road to the countryside to ask questions one by one? !

It's a whole show of killing chickens and monkeys.

Whether it was Xu Sanshi or Liu He, they probably knew that this Yuxian Lieutenant had probably come prepared long ago.

...

The evening was about to fall, and with the afterglow of dusk, two carriages and a few guardians entered the south gate of Nan'an County. The servants who drove ahead were tall and burly, looking very neat.

The lazy man with a broken mouth muttered, "Could it be that the lady of some family has been favored by the Liu family again?"

The old lady on the next street who passed by gave him a hard slap, "I don't want to miss a good sentence."

This quiet conversation was only for a moment, and then it became quiet again.

The train team didn't go to the door of any big family as they guessed, but went straight to the north of the city until it stopped in front of the county government office.The leading servant got off his horse first and went to talk with the doorman.

At this time, Yu Yu was rushing back outside the county seat.

The county seat of Nan'an County is not big, there are only four streets and three alleys in the county seat, and he has traveled all over the twenty-odd villages and towns it belongs to.Today he came back from the last Shuitou Township.The disgraced person following behind was none other than Xu Qing.

Riding on a donkey, Xu Qing raised his voice to Yu Yu who was in front of him, "Mr. Lang, I estimate the date. I'm afraid Bai Shuang and the others will arrive soon."

Yu Yu didn't hold the rope, and let the docile donkey walk slowly, while he was sitting on his back spreading out a crude map, outlining something with charcoal sticks.After finishing writing, he put the charcoal sticks into the small cloth bag hanging from the donkey's neck, rolled up the drawing and said, "It's still in time."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "It's not that Mr. Lang wanted to come here first, otherwise he could have more people, so he doesn't have to work so hard to travel all over the countryside."

Yu Yu said: "It's useless if there are too many of them. After all, I'm just a county captain, so I shouldn't do it for you."

The person in charge of this yamen is naturally the county magistrate, and the person who is further down to assist is the county magistrate, but most of the time the county magistrate is a vacant post.And it is the master book who is in charge of the government of Goujian County, and in the end public affairs such as public security, criminal law and other common affairs belong to the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is an official position for general affairs. Although he is in charge of miscellaneous affairs such as public security, according to the law, it is not impossible to collect taxes and try cases, but usually in some relatively wealthy counties, this position is often There are two people responsible.

"Although the verification of the details of the village is a bit complicated, if you want to convert it, it's okay for you to do it. It's just that Xu Sanshi and Liu He have to be dragged into the water, so that they can finally get the orders under them, but it's really true. The little devil is hard to deal with." Xu Qing was a little sullen.

When Mr. Lang first arrived in Nan'an County, he came quickly and stayed in the county for a while before taking up his post.As the magistrate of a county, Zheng Shouxuan naturally helped Yu Xuan clean up the dust.The secondary officials and miscellaneous officials below looked at it, and they seemed to be all talkative people amidst the intermingling of cups and chips.

But when he took office the next day, Yu Yu just wanted some handover documents, but the next Xu Ling started to push back.

The person in the treasury said that the signing room had to open a note before they could pick it up, but when they went to the signing room, they said that the person in the official room could only issue a note after pleading. It is the saying that the scribes in the treasury can't make a bill otherwise.

As a follower, Xu Qing followed Yu Yu in and out, and was really angry.

Who in Chang'an dares to throw your husband's face like this? !

Yu Yu said lightly: "Zheng Mingfu is a weak person, and it is inevitable that one will grow and the other will grow." He looked at the dirt road in front of him.

Even in the county seat of Nan'an County, such roads are so messy and difficult to walk, and when it rains, it will be even more embarrassing.

"However, you first stabbed the hornet's nest in that house, and then arrested the thief and put him in prison, which alarmed Zheng Ming's mansion. After these two trips, some people in the yamen obviously looked at you in a wrong way." Xu Qing He is a domestic slave from a noble family, and he has seen a lot of things in social activities, but he rarely sees such a ferocious posture before doing anything.

Yu Yu shook his head slowly, "Xu Qing, don't use those reserved and noble families to judge Xu Ling's work. They usually face the people with their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky. The attitude of intrigue and intrigue. Xu Ling of Nan'an County can form such a force, it must be the result of a long period of time." For example, Liu's master who was checked was over half a hundred years old, so he could be regarded as an old Liu, but the county government Most of the people in the county and the county call him Xiaoliu Zhuzhu, why is that?

Naturally, there is an old Liu in front.

After Master Liu's father stepped down, it was his son's turn to take the position of Master Chief.

These ancestors have been lawsuits in the yamen for generations. Although they are not orthodox officials, this kind of stubborn rooting is far stronger than an incompetent county magistrate when it cannot be contained.

"But although you executed the matter of the two families simply and quickly, it was because you caught them by surprise and caught them off guard. The fact of this evidence is clear, and it is also because you don't plan to dig deeper. They must be unwilling in their hearts. Now it is just dormant, let you handle it for the time being, if in the future..." Xu Qing babbled, looking very worried.

The matter between Xiaobao and Guosuo was just a temporary suppression, only a few Xu Ling who were in charge at the time were punished, and the order in charge was punished for accompanying Yu Yu to travel around town outside, without implicating the people behind.

Yu Yu listened to Xu Qing's worries and complaints all the way, and when he returned to the front of the yamen, the doorman ran over with small steps and told him about the convoy.This attitude is far more eager than the previous indifference.

Yu Yu nodded slightly, said thank you lightly, and then went in with Xu Qing.

The door was guarded outside, looking a little dizzy.The doorman next to him bared his teeth and said, "Could it be that you were bewitched by the county lieutenant? Don't forget, he's been a thorn in the side of several clerks recently." Although he said such presumptuous words, he didn't know Juezhong didn't dare to be as direct as before, and unconsciously lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

Xiaomenzi muttered: "...he thanked me?"

This is so low that only you can hear it.

...

The convoy not only brought Hoarfrost, but also many bookcases and usual things.

The courtyard, which was originally empty, was quickly filled with Bai Shuang's arrangements, and even when Yu Yu and Xu Qing came back, they were stuffed by Bai Shuang to take a bath and change clothes. Obviously, they heard about running outside these days .

Yu Yu was soaked in the hot water for a long time, leaving the exhaustion of running around in the water, and then slowly crawled out and changed his clothes.

Bai Shuang saw that Langjun finally came out in human form, but couldn't help laughing, "If the wives of Langjun at home see it, I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize him." Now Yu Yu It was much darker than it was two months ago, although it was barely white.

Yu Yu raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, and said lightly, "Have you encountered any troubles along the way?"

Bai Shuang shook her head, "It's not a big deal for a few elder brothers to watch. It's just that when I entered the county, I heard something about it." Now she is dressed as a woman, and she is plump.Talking and doing things are much faster than in the past, but the brows are full of smiles.

Yu Yu just glanced at her and knew that Bai Shuang's life after remarriage was quite comfortable.

Cheng Erding was also a courageous person, after getting acquainted with Bai Shuang, he explained the reason and got the Cheng family's release document.After I have freedom, I will come to marry Bai Shuang again.

Bai Shuang agreed to the matter after thinking about it for several days.

The natal brother who married with Bai Shuang on his back that day was naturally Yu Yu.

After Cheng Erding changed his appearance, he was recruited by Yu Yu to do something. This time, the husband and wife also accompanied him on the trip.

"What's the matter?" Yu Yu interjected, walking in the house, his fingers felt a little tingling, which was accidentally cut when he trekked to Jiudu Town a few days ago.

Bai Shuang said: "Although the soldiers guarding the gate are doing something, they seem to be very lazy. I listened carefully, and those idle soldiers were nestled together, as if they were talking about three consecutive days. There is no payment for the month."

Yu Yu paused for a moment, remembering that day when Liu He blatantly came to ask for the account book.Xu Ling below is so arrogant, no wonder this kind of thing happened.

Although Yu Yu didn't make any big moves, Bai Shuang knew that he had listened, so she didn't say anything else.Instead, let Langjun eat some sweet soup, and then go out to do things later.

Ever since Yu Yu caught the stolen goods twice and got them back, Xu Ling, who was prevaricating, immediately sent the handover matter in a proper manner, and tidied it up so cleanly that it seemed that there was no need for Yu Yu to go through it at all.After looking at it for two days, Yu Yu had some free time and ran away with the punished Xu Sanshi and Liu He for two months, getting a good understanding of the situation in the entire Nan'an County.

The county lieutenant Yu Yu was naturally pushed aside to have nothing to do, but Xu Sanshi and Liu He still carried the burden on both sides of their shoulders. Dealing with the general affairs of the yamen, I was so tired that my eyes turned black.

This day they came back with soft feet, and sent someone to send the recorded book to the inner office to hand over to Yu Xie, and then went directly to the master's office when they turned around.

Nan'an County Government Office is exactly the same as Nan'an County's dilapidated government office. The main office is located in the west of the county hall, but it is just a very common place in this county government office.The outer hallway has peeled off a little paint, but after crossing the threshold and walking to the side hall, it is a different world.

The elegant and exquisite tables, chairs and tea tables all reveal the preferences of the people living here.The lush plants and potted plants at the entrance are very eye-catching, and there are some unusual objects on the Baibao Pavilion and shelves used for decoration. There are some ancient ornaments that can't be taken down even if they are a few hundred taels.

There was a faint smell of burning incense in the room, and it was probably a spice that cost ten taels of silver for a small piece of incense.

It smells like money.

"Master Liu." Xu Sanshi cupped his hands and said to the middle-aged man who was sitting and working.

Liu He was behind, but not as tense as Xu Sanshi, and said with a smile, "Second Master." What he said was not a curse, according to his seniority, he really wanted to call Mr. Liu the Second Master.

Liu He and Liu Shi are family relatives again.

Liu Shi stroked his beard again, and couldn't help frowning when he saw the two crooked melons and cracked dates, "Why did you toss yourself like this?" He had a beard and looked very elegant, and he put down the document in his hand , looking suspiciously at the two officials.

Liu He wailed, "Second Master, that Yu Yu has made us suffer so much!"

Liu Shi sneered again, and said indifferently: "It's fine to let him beat you, I told you to be careful in doing things all day long. It's good for you two, as soon as he came, he directly sent the evidence to others! Didn't you ask for trouble?"

Xu Sanshi said aggrievedly: "Mr. Liu, even though that's the case, Yu Yu is too arrogant! He doesn't understand the world at all. As soon as he takes office, there are county magistrates and county magistrates and Mr. Liu on top of you. How can you be tough and reckless in everything?" What he said actually praised Master Liu, the county magistrate and county lieutenant can be regarded as assistants to the county magistrate, but the master is one level lower.

However, considering the current situation of the Nan'an County Government, this is true.

"What did he do? Didn't he just ask you to follow him around the village a few times?" Liu Shizai said in an old-fashioned way, his calm and calm appearance finally extinguished the restlessness of Xu Sanshi and Liu He.

Liu He leaned forward and said, "Second uncle, this is indeed a waste of effort. But look, he is being pushed aside now, and he doesn't have to do anything, but I have to deal with general affairs when I come back. He is really relaxed , I can't let them toss about like this anymore, after running for two months, the people outside all recognize him, and even the local dialect, Yu Yu can learn to draw a few words!"

Liu Shi frowned again, there was something wrong with this matter.

Many officials took up their posts far away from the capital, clearly capable but unable to do so, not only because they were deceived by orders from below, but also because they were not familiar with the local details and the local language.I don't know how to speak the local dialect, so naturally I can't communicate with the local people. Don't these many things have to be done by Xu Ling of the yamen?

Liu Shi didn't take it seriously before, because running up and down more than [-] villages and towns, in his opinion, is useless. No matter how detailed these are, what's the use of them?

But Liu He had to guard against what he said.

Yu Yu was able to be a county lieutenant at a young age, don't think this is just a small official position, and Nan'an County is just an ordinary tight county, but it shows that Yu Yu had to pass five hurdles and kill six generals before. First he won the place in the imperial examination, and then he was elected as an official.

And he is not yet twenty this year.

Such a person, even if he was just a nerd who studied the scriptures, would not be a simple person.

Liu Shi stroked his beard again and said, "In the past two months, except for the official house and household house, he didn't deal with anything else?"

Xu Sanshi nodded, "Yes, except for the documents that he was supposed to sign and issue, he ran away all day." After all, he didn't have any real power, so he might not be able to sit in this yamen.

Liu Shi narrowed his eyes again, and said in a drawn out voice: "The county captain Yu has been here in Nan'an County for two months, and he knows the county well, and some things that should be done by him will naturally need to be handed over to the county captain. Do it." He looked at Xu Sanshi and Liu He meaningfully, "The more the better."

Liu He was more alert, and immediately understood what he meant, bowing his body and nodding.Although Xu Sanshi was half a beat slow, he also reacted and was overjoyed.

Wonderful.

...

Yu Yu's leisurely days are gone forever.

The next day, he just packed up and was about to take Xu Qing out.After leaving the inner yamen, before going to the inner hall to order, he first saw the head of a person waiting outside.

Good guy, Xu Qing counted silently in his heart, at least a dozen people.

These are the pawns of each house, and there are also Xu orders who signed and checked, all of which came to ask the county magistrate to do things.The one said that this lawsuit document is very important, and it will be announced tomorrow. The one said that the number of inspections did not match the inventory, and the loud voice huddled together, asking the county captain to deal with the recent security issues of thieves in Nan'an County, etc. ...This is even more difficult than seven aunts and eight wives getting together. The buzzing sounds are mixed together, and it is really difficult to distinguish.

Yu Yu listened expressionlessly, "Get out of the way."

The pawn in the lead was stunned for a moment, and before he could close the door with his lips, he received a cold look from Yu County Lieutenant.His back felt cold, and he suddenly closed his mouth.

One has two.

Yu Yu's cold face and Hu Fangxiu's tricks that day were still somewhat effective, and few people really dared to annoy him.In other words, they dared to ignore him, belittle him, and few of them had the guts to really speak into his eyes when they faced each other.

The original campaign had some success.

Yu Yu paced through the crowd, and Xu Qing hurriedly went to open the door in the hall with a few steps.After the figure of Mr. Lang entered the door, Xu Qing looked back at those dazed pawns, and urged strangely, "What are you waiting for? Come in and answer! Is it possible that you are still thinking about making noise outside?" to do things?"

This is really their original plan.

Yu Yu called people in one by one, but only listened but didn't speak.

After asking what needs to be done, if there is a document, leave the document, if not, write down the question, and the person will be sent out.After finishing all these, the morning sun is already hotter.

Yu Yu piled up those miscellaneous things in one place and divided them according to the degree of simplicity and difficulty, starting from the difficult ones first.

After repeating this for three days, even Xu Qing could see that these pawns were planning to trip up Yu Yu with some irrelevant but seemingly urgent matters.

Yu Yu glanced at Xu Qing who was fighting, and raised a question, "Who is the one who really has the final say in this county government?"

Xu Qing frowned, "Zheng Ming's mansion seldom gets in touch with affairs, and the county magistrate doesn't show up much. The only ones are you, the chief secretary, and others..." He paused, probably because he understood Yu Ji's meaning, He frowned again and said, "It's just a master book..."

"There is only one master, but three generations are members of the yamen." Yu Yu shook his head and said, the laws of the country, in Nan'an County, are not even as solid as the Liu family's words.

Yu Yu flicked the document in hand, "Although it is a chore, I can still see the context of the county government's work. Let's do it, those two things at the beginning must have angered some people, it won't just be like this Put it down gently."

Xu Qing bowed his body, knowing it well.

It's just that he never expected that what Lang Jun said would come so quickly!

September [-]th, heavy rain.

Yu Yu was handling general affairs in the inner hall, and two pawns were waiting outside, ready to wait for the people in front to come out before going in to speak.It's just that before it was their turn, Xu Da, the magistrate of the torture room, brought people over in a hurry.Not long after entering, Liu He, the official of the house behind, also came, and the two houses appeared together, making the official waiting outside immediately prick up his ears, trying to hear what was being said clearly.

Xu Da is tall and thin, he speaks in a hurry, and looks a little angry, "...Yu County Captain, the Ding family is a little too deceptive. You can beat people right here."

This is about the recent arrest of thieves.

There have been thieves fleeing in Nan'an County recently, but there is actually no person in charge of hunting them down in the yamen.It can barely be regarded as the affairs of the county lieutenant, so Yu Yu still has the impression that Bai Ding in the county is going to be recruited to serve as the defense Ding.

There is a white man named Gao Yuan, who is also recruited and transferred to Fangding.However, a few days ago he claimed that he could be exempted from military service by reporting himself, but he just needed to go home to pick it up.However, I waited for a long time and never came back.Li Zheng was ordered to arrest Gao Yuan, but Gao Yuan's in-laws hid him, and even beat Li Zheng who came to ask for help.

And this Ding family is a big family in the county.

Yu Yu said slowly: "I have indeed seen the matter of recruitment. But Lizheng was ordered to arrest people. Whose order was this ordered?"

The torture room official who was speaking angrily choked immediately, and said with a sneer: "Well, Gao Yuan refused to return. According to the law, it is normal for Li Zheng to ask for it." But he avoided it. Talk about this so-called order.

Yu Yu glanced at him indifferently, then turned to look at Liu He, "What's the matter with you?"

Liu He cupped his hands and said, "County Captain, this is really a major matter of tax collection. This tax collection needs to be carried out on a household-by-household basis, and Yu Lizheng is in charge of confirming it, and then people come to pay one by one. How many people are there? However, Lizheng had a conflict with Gouzheng." Lizheng believed that those households had died or fled, and they were not required to pay taxes according to the law.However, the envoy thinks that as long as the person is still registered and has not paid taxes, he needs to be taxed.

Gou Zhengshi... Yu Yu frowned.

He chewed on the word Lizheng, and said slowly: "Here Zheng, wouldn't it happen to be the same person as Lizheng that Xu Da mentioned just now?"

Liu He bowed and said respectfully: "The county captain really knows the details, this is the same person."

It was not the fault of these two families who came to look for him suddenly.The county lieutenant is in charge of general affairs, so it is common sense for Liufang to report these difficult facts to Yu Yu now.

Yu Yu waved his hand and said to Xu Da: "How many servants are there in the yamen who can call them?"

Xu Da said with a bitter face: "It's a coincidence that the chief secretary and the county magistrate went to the west of the county to investigate the case this morning, but they took away most of the people."

Yu Yu nodded, looking indifferent, and said: "Then I take my entourage, shouldn't I offend?" Although his tone was cold, Xu Da was taken aback by the gentle question in those words, "No ,sure."

This is already a secret rule in every yamen. When an official takes office, he can naturally bring some attendants with him.If you want to call them to do things, as long as the number of people is within the limit, there will be no such thing as exceeding the distance.

Yu Yu nodded, and raised his voice: "Xu Qing, call someone."

Then he looked back at Xu Da, and said calmly, "Go to Ding's house first."

Xu Da nodded in a daze, his calves trembled for some reason.

Why, why did the county lieutenant sound like he wanted to copy someone and start a fight?
