Tai Jia

During his days in the Linhuai county government, Sun Xiong understood thoroughly what it meant to force the people to rebel against the government.

This He Xi Huasheng is good-looking, but what he does is not human affairs.

The wages are considerable, with two copper coins per month, plus food and housing, and little expenses, and with two years of frugality, you can buy a modest courtyard in Linhuai.He Xihua treats others kindly on weekdays, and never insults or abuses his servants.

The problem is that as a county magistrate, he is too hungry.

Because of his literary talent and neat handwriting, Sun Xiong is now doing some transcriptions by He Xihua's side, going in and out with He Xihua almost every day.Helpless, He Xihua has no family, no family, no relatives and no friends, and is extremely boring on weekdays. Apart from occasionally reading books, painting and reading scripts, he has no other hobbies.

Sun Xiong and he stayed in the yamen all day, entered the yamen at Mao, worked until noon, rested for more than half an hour, had dinner at Xu time, rested for more than half an hour, and then went back to copy until Haishi.I don't know how He Xihua's small body can bear the burden of burying his head in the desk for nearly eight hours every day, anyway, his strong man of more than eight feet is already exhausted.

What's even more tragic is that the magistrate is very fond of him, and his food and clothing expenses are no different from that of the magistrate, especially eating together every day has become the most painful thing for him.Guochao has always had extravagant relatives, but He Xihua doesn't look like a noble son from a family with relatives, but like an ascetic monk. He eats beef pancakes or steamed buns and cabbage all day long, and Sun Xiong's eyes turn green when he eats them.In retrospect, even though I was running around before, I could still buy some roast chicken to accompany wine from time to time, but these days have gone from bad to worse.

Is it because He Xihua learned from Wang Mang to gain fame?

"Brother Sun." He Xihua's melodious voice rang in his ears again, "I have an unfeeling request, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Improper speaking!

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Sun Xiong took a deep breath and said respectfully, "May I ask what your lord wants?"

"The county school has a shortage of teachers recently, so I want all the literate staff in the yamen to give lectures together..."

"Small ones have little talent and learning, unlike the adults who have fame and fame. The small ones are only afraid of misleading their children and ruining good boys."

"It doesn't matter," He Xihua smiled warmly, "They are all enlightened boys, with brother grandson's talents and learning, it is more than enough."

Sun Xiong remained silent, and said for a long while: "But my job of transcribing here..."

"Let's see where we need to be." He Xihua smiled lightly, but his tone was uncompromising, "I can give you some extra wages as appropriate. You won't help the county with this favor, right?"

Sun Xiong had no choice but to bow his head and agree.

He Xihua nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly said: "Raise your head."

Sun Xiong scolded him for being troublesome in his heart, but still shrunk his head, "The villain has an ugly face, I'm afraid I will scare the adults and lose my job."

"Your appearance is given by your parents, no wonder you. If you feel inferior and timid because of this, then you are not dissatisfied with your father's gift, and you are not filial?" He Xihua persuasively said, "So for your parents, you should also hold your head upright. .”

To link this matter with filial piety is so vicious.After all, Sun Xiong didn't want to be a disloyal and unfilial person, so he gritted his teeth and raised his head.

He Xihua raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the disgraced man in front of him, "Although you have no official status, you are still working for the court. The first thing is to have a clean appearance. Go, I have a piece of soap, go clean your face quickly."

Sun Xiong took the soap and reluctantly went to the small pool behind the yamen, staring at the reflection in the water in a daze. After a long while, he took a sharp stone to face his face, gritted his teeth, and gestured for a long time, finally I closed my eyes.

He swaggered past the small backyard, and everyone he met on the road covered his mouth and nose with surprise on his face.He ignored these horrified eyes, and walked with his head buried in his head until he returned to the study and stood still in front of He Xihua.

He Xihua raised his head and glanced at the pauses between writing vigorously, and the tip of the pen couldn't help but tilted, leaving a small ink dot on the official document.

"With Brother Sun's appearance, it's a pity that he would end up in such a countryside." He Xihua's eyes sparkled, full of pure admiration, "No one I've ever seen in my life is as handsome as Brother Sun."

Sun Xiong stood with a stiff face, and said in embarrassment: "Thank you for your praise, sir."

"I studied history since I was a child, and I often saw people who could see people saying something like 'the eyes are like torches, and they are so precious', in order to be famous in history, and now I want to follow suit." He Xihua simply put down his pen and narrowed his eyes to look at it. It was rare for him to be narrow-minded, "Brother Sun Xiong has long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and the phoenix looks like a dragon. He will become a great weapon in the future, which is beyond words."

Sun Xiong pursed his lips embarrassingly, "My lord, you are so small. What kind of person is the little one? How can he be a good person? The little one is now following the adults, and he doesn't want to be a dragon or a phoenix. He just wants a dog to ascend to heaven." Satisfied."

He Xihua smiled, and picked up his pen again, "Don't be too disheartened, the world is impermanent, and who knows what will happen in the future? Come on, this is the dossier pending trial, copy it first."

Looking out the window like water and moonlight, Sun Xiong accepted the file resignedly.These are the dossiers that were hastily recorded by the lower officials when the people beat drums to redress their grievances. Not only the words are vulgar, but some of them are not expressive.What Sun Xiong has to do is to polish it so that it can be handed over to the state government or made public.

It was boring at first, but after watching for a long time, Sun Xiong also saw some interesting.

For example, the one in his hand is very sensational.There is an old man in Piantai Village, Zhang Shiba, who has two beautiful daughters in his family, and they are married to Zhou Mingyu, the son of Zhou Yuanwai in Biannan Village.Originally, the family lived harmoniously and beautifully, but unexpectedly, the two daughters gave birth to terrible deformities one after another.Zhang Shiba and his wife Jiao Shi went to visit, but Jiao Shi was first frightened to death by a grandson with no palms and a huge head, and then after seeing Zhou Yuanwai and his wife, he was scared out of his wits on the spot and sat on the ground wailing. .From her intermittent confession, everyone knew with horror that Jiao was a widow before she married Zhang Shiba, and she took care of her husband's posthumous child by herself. Later, the clan took pity on her and let her be the Zhou family's wet nurse.Unexpectedly, she saw that her son was somewhat similar to Zhou Yuanwai's son, so she secretly took advantage of people's attention, exchanged her son with his other's son, and threw the other's son away, and remarried without any worries.

The reason why both daughters will give birth to abnormal fetuses is because Zhou Mingyu is their half-brother!

Zhou Yuanwai heard the inside story, and remembered that he had raised a wild species for more than twenty years, and his own flesh and blood would probably die without a place to bury him. I want to ask for an explanation.

"Since you are interested in this case, why don't you interrogate it first, and draw up a regulation on how to proceed with the trial." He Xihua said softly, "At tomorrow's hour, the criminals will be brought here, so you can rest well tonight."

Sun Xiong looked at the faintly bright sky outside the window, and smiled sincerely at him, "Thank you, sir!"
