On the second day, Murong Fu successfully signed alliance contracts with [-] firms, drank the celebration wine, and set off for Xiping with the [-] accountants that Su Mai had prepared for him early in the morning.At the same time, Bao BuTong also handed over the work in his hand to Su Mai, and rushed to the capital with fifty accountants to work for Su Shi, who had been promoted to the right prime minister.

Since this accounting team is all weak-handed scholars, Murong Fu's journey to Xiping is still not fast even though he travels quickly.He saw the needles, and actually drafted the management regulations for the "Shunfeng Bodyguard Agency" that can be seen everywhere for Qiao Feng on horseback.

By the time the group arrived at Xiping, it was almost the end of the year.In this day when every household changed new clothes and set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, everyone in Xiping County closed their doors.Occasionally, I met a few passers-by on the road, but they were also dressed in old clothes and looked shy, not showing the slightest joy.

Qiao Feng put his legs between the horse's belly, came to Murong Fu's side and said in a low voice: "It seems that the people here are not having a good life."

Murong Fu pulled the cloak casually to cover the wind and snow, and also replied in a low voice: "It's not long since Xiping County returned to the Song Dynasty, and the people probably haven't recovered yet. Let's go to the government office first."

A group of people hurried on and rushed to the county government office in Xiping County.Seeing the lonely and dilapidated government office precariously poked in front of him, Zhang Wenjie, the head of the accounting team, burst into tears immediately, and thought to himself regretfully: It's a loss!This deal is a loss!Big loss!

Zhang Wenjie is from Suzhou. He is 20 this year. Since he passed the state examination and the provincial examination [-] years ago, he has failed many times.Although the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were benevolent and righteous, those candidates who failed to pass the test could be given special titles as Jinshi.But with the empty title of Jinshi and no official position, he cannot support his family after all.Zhang Wenjie was also known as a child prodigy when he was young, and he was quite arrogant, so he never wanted to be humiliated.However, he took the exam again and again, and his parents died, his wife died of exhaustion, and his family Susukada sold out. Seeing that he could not even support his only daughter, Zhang Wenjie finally came to his senses and burned the four books and five classics to find a job.

A year ago, Su Mai spent a lot of money in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit literate teenagers to learn accounting knowledge, so as to serve as a talent reserve for Murong Fu.For the sake of money, Zhang Wenjie entered an accounting school in a shameless manner, and studied accounting hard with the perseverance to study poetry and books.Half a year later, he graduated with high marks and received a ten-year bonus awarded by Su Mai himself.

Spring breeze graduated proudly, but Zhang Wenjie was hesitant about work arrangements.Although he has given up his official career, he is afraid of joining the business world and becoming the last among the four people. Therefore, he prefers to stay in Shanghai as a clerk who only receives half a salary a month, and he is unwilling to follow Su Mai's arrangement. Mr. Jinlinlou or Bianjing Times as accountant.It wasn't until a classmate who also graduated from the accounting school sent a large monthly salary from other places to arrange for his family to buy property and real estate that Zhang Wenjie regretted it.

Based on previous experience, this time Su Mai wanted to recruit accounting talents to go to Xiping with Murong Fu, and Zhang Wenjie was the first to sign up.He wholeheartedly thought that if he could follow his master, the road to advancement would be smoother than others.Su Shi, the mentor of the Dong family, is now the right minister again. If he can recommend him to Su Xueshi with a few words, it is not impossible to return to official career.Until he rushed all the way to Xiping and saw this government office that was even worse than the old house at home, as if the broken bricks and tiles on the roof would fall down if he stomped on the roof, Zhang Wenjie finally realized painfully: the owner might not belong to Prime Minister Su. Proud disciple, otherwise he would not be allowed to come here to suffer.

Everyone was standing in front of the government office in a daze, not knowing what to do, Murong Fu suddenly let out a long sigh, expressing the hearts of everyone: "You are so poor!"

But at this moment, there was a "squeak" from the yamen, and a yamen servant who was curled up with his arms and legs and his back was pulled out, and asked hoarsely, "What are you doing?"

Murong Fu gestured to Zhang Wenjie with his eyes. Zhang Wenjie was looking at the shabby official uniform on the yamen's body and was dumbfounded. His companion poked his arm and he came back to his senses. He found Murong Fu's official robe and official documents from the package. Move it to the Yacha for a look.

The clerk got excited, he hurriedly bowed to Murong Fu and said: "I don't know if your lord is here, I'm going to invite lord Hong!" After saying that, he left Murong Fu and others where they were, turned around and ran away.

Qiao Feng held back a smile and tugged on Murong Fu's sleeve. "Murong, it's cold outside, let's go inside and wait."

As soon as he entered the main hall of the county government, Hong Danwang, the current magistrate of Xiping County, hurried out from the back hall with the county magistrate Min Zhong.Zhang Wenjie saw that Mr. Hong was also shabby and emaciated in his official robes, so he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he saw Murong Fu, Min Zhong, the county magistrate from the eighth rank, bowed indifferently.On the contrary, Master Hong Danwang, who was at the eighth rank, had an abnormal pink face, he bowed deeply to Murong Fu, and said courteously: "But Master Murong in person?"

"Don't dare!" Murong Fu and Hong Danwang were in the same rank, so he didn't dare to accept his big gift, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his arm. "At the end of the post-school period, I entered Murong Fu and met Mr. Hong."

Hong Danwang's face was full of joy, and he said repeatedly: "I have heard about Mr. Murong's great name and magnanimity for a long time. Seeing once is worth seeing once! I heard that Mr. Murong came here to take over the post of Xiping county magistrate. I don't know where the officials have moved? Can you borrow A certain point of view?"

Hong Danwang, the current county magistrate of Xiping County, had not received a letter from the Ministry of Officials before this, and ordered him to leave Xiping and go to another post.In other words, once Murong Fu takes office, Lord Hong will become one of the redundant officials waiting to be arranged by the Ministry of Officials, and his value will plummet from then on.If one's luck is unlucky, one may never have the chance to wear this official uniform again in this life.With this inside story, Murong Fuyuan thought that it would take a lot of effort for this thirty-year-old Mr. Hong to hand over his official duties.We all belong to colleagues, if Mr. Hong is bent on beating him to death in his post and refuses to hand over his official duties, for the sake of reputation, Murong Fu can't really beat him to death.Unexpectedly, Hong Danwang cooperated so much, Murong Fu couldn't help but be surprised.

Murong Fu was still in a daze, but Hong Danwang had already read the official document, and said with a smile: "Master Murong is a young man, so I will entrust the people of this county to you at ease! The Minister of Min County knows all about it, so you can rest assured. This official has been away from home for many years, and I haven't heard any news from the capital for a long time, so I would like to invite you to accompany me to drink a glass of thin wine." After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Murong Fu agreed or not. He dragged the person away.

This drink lasted until late at night.Seeing that Hong Dan Wang Xunxun fell asleep, Murong Fu ordered several wine servants to help him to rest in the back hall, got up and went to the county government office.

In the workplace, Zhang Wenjie and others looked gloomy.Seeing Murong Fu appear, Zhang Wenjie let out a long sigh and handed over a set of accounts.The grain stored in the granary is only enough for the officials and servants in the county yamen to live. The armory in the armory is only left with wooden sticks and moso bamboo. Yuanyou ten years.

"My lord, I'd better write a letter to Prime Minister Su as soon as possible, and try to get out of here." Zhang Wenjie approached Murong Fu's side and said in a low voice.According to the official rules in the Song Dynasty, as long as an official reported to the Ministry of Officials a serious illness or a reason for keeping filial piety, he could not take up his post.But if you go to the local area to do the handover, you can only suffer in the office.

Murong Fu let out a noncommittal "Hmm", although he didn't have any expectations, he still asked: "But Mr. Hong is too ruthless in scratching the ground?"

Zhang Wenjie checked the accounts for a day, and when he saw the innocent warehouse, he was so frightened that his face was covered with cold sweat. He was full of thoughts on how to persuade Murong Fu to leave this place quickly, how could he bother to investigate the reasons?When Murong Fu asked this question, he knew he had neglected his duty, so he hurriedly changed the subject. "Master Min, the magistrate of the county, has been waiting for you, why not let Mr. Min speak."

Murong Fu glanced at Zhang Wenjie calmly, and replied, "Please."

After a while, Minxian Cheng, who looked cold and innocent, arrived.He saluted Murong Fu simply and neatly, and then said: "I heard that Master Murong is a student of Bachelor Su, this place is not where you can show your strength, you should hurry and ask for it!"

Seeing his blunt attitude and sarcasm, Murong Fu was secretly dissatisfied, he tried his best to calm down his alcohol and said: "Cheng Min asked to see him late at night, is it just to talk to this official?"

Minxian Cheng choked immediately, and suddenly said quietly: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Murong can drink so much."

Murong Fu had already seen that Hong Dan wanted to drink with him just to get him drunk, but Hong Dan only wanted to be a scholar, how could he drink as much as Murong Fu who is a master of martial arts?Hearing Minxian Cheng's words, Murong Fu suddenly realized that Minxian Cheng had known Mr. Hong's intention to invite him to drink, and said strangely: "The accounts of the county government are not correct. If I don't seal him, I won't be able to leave office. What's the use?"

"As soon as your lord is drunk, lord Hong is going to leave immediately, who dares to stop him?" Minxian Cheng sneered, "does lord still want to report this matter to the officials?"

Even if the lawsuit is filed, Murong Fu himself will be the first to suffer.Murong Fu pondered for a while, then asked: "I see Master Hong is not a greedy person, why is he afraid that I will find out something and run away?"

County Chancellor Min glanced at Zhang Wenjie and the others, and replied: "My lord brought all the manpower, and within half a day they verified all the documents and accounts in the county. Don't you understand what they found out?"

Murong Fu tapped the table next to him lightly with his fingers, and said with a calm expression: "Xiping County has been occupied for a long time, and it was not recovered until Li Xuanzheng built a fort in Lanzhou in the fifth year of Yuanfeng. , Xia people are tyrannical, it is no accident that this account is so ugly."

However, Minxian Cheng never expected that this well-dressed and well-dressed son would know a thing or two about Xiping's situation, not as ignorant as Hong Danwang who came to the post back then.However, in Min Xiancheng's view, Murong Fu's understanding is still only superficial. "Lanzhou fell for nearly a hundred years, and Xiping fell into the hands of the Xia people, and I don't know the time. Lanzhou was originally an important military town, and many of them were favored by the imperial court. Xiping is remote and dispensable, and the people are like weeds. It is not the progress of adults. Ladder of steps, my lord, please go back!"

Min Zhong repeatedly wanted to drive Murong Fu away, even Zhang Wenjie, who wanted to leave at first, became a little angry, and interjected: "Master Hong came to Xiping in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, so he must not be familiar with the situation here. It is also true. On the contrary, Min County Prime Minister has been in Xiping for a long time, so it can be said that his influence is deep and deep. Could it be that he is still in the Song Dynasty and his heart is in Xia?"

Zhang Wenjie's words were already embarrassing, but Minxian Cheng's coffin showed a smile on his face, and he said calmly: "If Xia's army comes again, the officials will naturally lead the people to surrender to Xia."

"Min Zhong!" Zhang Wenjie shouted angrily.

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, before Zhang Wenjie finished speaking, Murong Fu clapped his hands and smiled. "Since Mr. Min has such a heart, how can I not be perfect? ​​Here, I will make an agreement with Mr. Min: If one day the Xia army arrives again, I will be responsible for the country, and the people of the whole county will be entrusted to you." Lord Min."

Murong Fu's agreement seemed to agree with his choice, and Min Xiancheng froze on the spot for a while, not knowing how to answer.

But Murong Fu turned his head and glanced at the plan in the room, rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Master Min's advice has been written down, and I would like to thank Master Min for his kindness. I will see Yuan Feng at tomorrow's hour." For the documents from the county government and the details of the warehouses and prisons in the past five years, please Master Min to make preparations." After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

In the early morning of the second day, just as Murong Fu got up and hadn't washed himself up yet, Qiao Feng kicked the door and rushed in carrying Mr. Hong Danwang who had changed into civilian attire, and said triumphantly: "Murong, this Mr. Hong is in a hurry before dawn. Going out of the city. I was thinking that we haven't invited Master Hong to practice wine, so I went out and invited him back when Master Hong neglected us." As soon as he finished speaking, he threw Hong Dan Wang on the ground.It turned out that Hong Danwang woke up early in the morning, and immediately ordered the servants to pack up and run away on the only skinny donkey in the family.

The disheveled Hong Danwang rolled on the ground in embarrassment with his bag in his arms, hugged Murong Fu's calf and begged, "Lord Murong, please let me go! I will resign and go back to my hometown." Farming, no more officialdom..."

Hong Danwang lost his composure, Murong Fu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Lord Hong, even if you were really desperate to scrape land until the tenth year of Yuanyou, for the sake of our official friendship, I can only accept it. Why did you resign?"

"I'm wronged! I'm wronged by the lower officials!" Hong Dan burst into tears and said wronged, "Where is this a matter of money? This is fate! It is fate! They will poison and kill people!"

"What poisoning? Killing people? Speak clearly!" Murong Fu's expression darkened, and he lightly patted Hong Danwang's back.

With just this palm, Hong Danwang immediately choked, and felt a warm current all over his body, and his mind immediately cleared up.He choked up a few times and finally stopped crying, and said clearly, "Master Murong doesn't know something, there is a bully in Xiping County, who takes over mountains and becomes king and does all kinds of evil. He has taken in countless disciples who are good at poisoning, killing people invisible! To put it bluntly, although the official is the parental official of Xiping County, this bully is the Supreme Emperor of Xiping County!" Hong Danwang came to Xining to take up his post in the past, and he also had the ambition to guard the Quartet for the Holy Son of Heaven, but he was murdered. Once the bully is scared, there is only drunkenness and dreams left to live in poverty.If he hadn't been afraid that the court would pursue him for abandoning his official position and fleeing, he might have packed his bags and fled long ago.

When Murong Fu heard Hong Danwang say that this bully was "good at poisoning, he took countless disciples", he immediately looked up at Qiao Feng with a strange expression.After a while, he asked Hong Danwang again: "Who is this bully's name?"

Murong Fu hadn't finished speaking, suddenly there was a rush of drumming outside the house, it was at this time that someone beat the Dengwen drum outside the county government office to express their grievances.

After a while, the yamen servant who met Murong Fu yesterday walked in quickly with a blood book in his hand, bowed and said, "My lord, there are blood letters from the people outside to complain about grievances, my lord, please be promoted as soon as possible!"

Murong Fu looked clearly at Hong Danwang and then at the yamen servant, and asked, "Are you here to sue that bully?"

"Your Excellency is wise!" the clerk hastily praised Murong Fu. "My lord, hurry up! Almost half of the people in the county have arrived, I'm afraid the younger ones won't be able to control the situation."

At such an urgent moment, Murong Fu unexpectedly glanced at Qiao Feng again, and said softly, "Let me guess, this bully is... Ding Chunqiu from Xingxiu School?"

"It's the old fairy Xingxiu..." Hong Danwang said with a pale face, his whole body was shaking like chaff.

The author has something to say:

Hong Danwang: The old fairy Xingxiu has boundless mana!

Murong Fu: The twisted plot of the original novel...

The third part is unforgettable without thinking.
