After one matter was resolved, Chu Xiaoyun slept soundly that night. But in a county not far away, there is another wave of people who are not so stable. County magistrate and county magistrate Bo and other county government officials gathered in the county seat at night in a house in a hidden alley in the city.

The county magistrate and the county magistrate sat in the chairs above and glanced down dignifiedly: "Is it all here?" The

master got up and looked around: "It's all here."

"Ahem." The county magistrate cleared it up He cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let's talk about the recent incident."

As he spoke, the magistrate looked at the magistrate: "Then Yang Yuankai's family members have been appeased?"

The magistrate said disdainfully: "Yang Yuankai has already gone in. What kind of disturbance can a group of old and weak women and children cause?"

The magistrate stroked his goatee and said, "Since he kept his promise and didn't involve anyone else, let's be more generous." "Don't worry, it's

already gone. " Someone gave me a hundred taels of silver." The county captain replied.

As soon as the county lieutenant said this, everyone in the audience started talking about it.

"The money belongs to our big guy too, why should he give it to him for nothing just because he got in?" "It's fine to

give money, but we must ensure that they keep their own place."

"It's his duty not to hurt the innocent, we all I haven't said that he almost ruined our good business."

"That's right, he just took money and didn't control the risk anymore. To make such a big commotion, last time he moved the county magistrate to force Wei Jinghan not to ask for help from the government office. What a risk this is."

...

Amidst the heated discussions among the crowd, the county magistrate and the magistrate had a private conversation: "Then how did his family react?"

"The family is extremely grateful. The pillars of the family are gone, and a little money is better than anything else." When Yang Yuankai's family was mentioned, the county captain's disdainful expression became more and more obvious.

"Hey, it's a pity. His son still wants to take the imperial examination, and now it seems that there is no hope." "

Chi——" the county captain sneered, "Dragon begets dragon and phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes. Yang Yuankai A martial artist, what kind of imperial examination does his son take!"

"Didn't Yang Yuankai say that his son studied well before, and a few years ago he was selected as a scholar and was exempted from many taxes." "There are tens of thousands of

scholars in this world, how many are there ? You just watch him brag about it."

"Hey, forget it, everyone has gone in, so it's useless to talk about it now." "

The county magistrate is right, so let's not mention him. Disappointing."

The two of them At the end of the conversation, the county magistrate made a gesture to calm everyone down: "I'm sure you all know what's going on today. Yang Yuankai screwed himself up and let Wei Jinghan and that little hooligan surnamed Chu catch him." In the future, we must be more cautious in our actions. In addition to the unanimous interests of everyone, I have cleared up your respective private land. Those who just take risks and low returns should be willing to give up, and don't want to make small profits. Holding on to it, I ended up picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelon."

Xiancheng's words were like water in a frying pan, splashing immediately.

"I will understand the painstaking efforts of the county magistrate. It's just that the big guy's family has a big family that needs expenses. So I split some of the big guy's money to Yang Yuankai, and let everyone give up the benefits. Even though mosquitoes are small, they are meat. If you get rid of those petty profits all at once, how will the life of the big guys go?" "

Although Yang Kaiyuan's falling into it is a wake-up call for everyone, but there is no need to do so The wind is jittery, right?"

"Yeah, is this a waste of food because of choking?"

"Yang Kaiyuan was careless, and his sphere of influence entered a role that opposed him, but he didn't find a way to get him away in time."...

"

Big guy The county magistrate and I are not ignorant of the difficulties, but everyone must understand that Wei Jinghan is coming so aggressively. Is the current official salary more important, or the petty profit? Besides, he is still raising Chu Xiaoyun's Dog, hit where you want. Chu Xiaoyun's bastard little bastard, I thought he was someone to win over. Hey, it turned out that he got closer and closer to Wei Jinghan as if he had taken the wrong medicine. "

The county lieutenant is right. Now the situation is no longer the same, and you should bow your head when you should bow your head. Those petty profits should be discarded; those who stay must be thoroughly investigated. Those who don't want to pay tribute to you are I can't figure out whether people are ghosts, stupid or stupid; one day something like Yang Yuankai will happen again, and everyone will not let it go.

"Yes, yes, the magistrate has taught you a lesson. "Seeing that there is no room for turning things around, the people below had no choice but to respond.

"My lord, there is one thing I don't know about my humble position. Someone got up and said. "

What's the matter?" "The county magistrate asked.

"Just let that Chu Xiaoyun sit on the head-hunting chair?" Such an important government office as the arrest house will be in his hands in the future, so we will be constrained by him everywhere in our actions! "The man replied.

"There is no way, Chu Xiaoyun can't sit in the position of head arrester, Wei Jinghan still has to dig up Yang Yuankai's case. Let him continue digging, who can guarantee that nothing will be dug out of his own monolith? This is an expedient measure, let the little gangster be proud for a few days. Although we lost the position of headhunter in this battle, we saved all of us. Aren't we afraid that we won't have the opportunity to deal with him in the future? "The county magistrate said, "Some things can't be dealt with head-on, you have to let go of what should be let go. "

"It's still the county magistrate who sees clearly. " "

"It's still Mr. County Prime Minister who sees farther, I'm ashamed!"

"Yes, yes. The more critical the situation is, the more we need your lord to guide us."

On the second day, Chu Xiaoyun took Su Wen with him. Going to Yingmao, the county government office, the county magistrate has ordered the steward to allocate a house for Su Wen to live in. After Su Wen was settled, Chu Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. On the first day of the new official's tenure, Chu Xiaoyun presided over the morning meeting and morning exercises, and nothing unexpected happened. It seems that everyone is a veteran of the yamen, and he still has his own bowl of rice.

Those who know current affairs are Junjie.

Su Wen is settled properly, so he doesn't have to go to Yanzhifang to be an apprentice anymore. Chu Xiaoyun was about to go to Yanzhifang to say hello to the owner after finishing dealing with the arresting room, but Fang Lingfeng came without asking.

"I don't know what the Fang concierge is talking about?" The county magistrate trusts him very much, and the master smiles at him when he sees him, but Fang Lingfeng's attitude towards him has never been friendly, so seeing him coming, Chu Xiaoyun is very strange .

This person will never come to congratulate himself on his promotion, will he?

"Captain Chu, there are some things I still want to explain to you. Although the county magistrate is the head of a county, he does need you for some things, so he is more tolerant of you, but don't put the county magistrate Your Excellency takes your tolerance for granted." Fang Lingfeng said.

Chu Xiaoyun was confused by what he said: "Where did you say that?"

"You brought your husband to and from the county government, and asked the county magistrate to prepare a special house for you. Let's not talk about it." Even if you are married before you are married, this is not in accordance with etiquette." Fang Lingfeng said.

It turned out that this was the case, Chu Xiaoyun quickly explained: "There is a reason for this, Fang Concierge, please listen to me. Because when I went to Yunling County for business last time, I noticed someone following me on the road. I am worried about the safety of my husband, so I am bothering you." my lord."

"You said that someone has followed you secretly. Is there any proof? How many people are the stalkers? How old are they? What are your looks and figures?" Fang Lingfeng asked.

"No trace of the stalker has been found." Chu Xiaoyun was a little ashamed.

"Nothing, that's just a one-sided statement." Fang Lingfeng said mercilessly, "All the things in the county government belong to the imperial court. If you treat you specially, the county magistrate may be criticized. If someone writes It is no trivial matter to refer to one of the booklets. If adults are excluded from Hejing County because of this, what do you think Hejing County will be like? You have lived here for more than 20 years, so you should know."

It's not that Chu Xiaoyun hadn't thought about whether he might be suspected of abusing his power, but thinking that Su Wen was in danger because he helped the arrest house solve the case, the county magistrate's actions can be regarded as protecting someone who has meritorious service. However, Fang Lingfeng's words are also reasonable. Now that the case is closed, the so-called stalking is all based on his own intuition, without any evidence. If the other party must deliberately find fault, it is not surprising to be suspicious, not to mention that there is a solid fact.

Fang Lingfeng's words were hard to hear, but they were also true.

Chu Xiaoyun said: "The wife is borrowing for a day today, and I will find another way tomorrow, and I will never cause trouble for you."

Fang Lingfeng's tone slowed down: "Chu Butou, you are a good man with justice. There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect your husband, and I can fully understand it. However, you and I have different positions. I can only consider the interests of adults. Everything that may cause harm to adults I have to nip it in the bud."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded: "I understand."

Fang Lingfeng raised his foot to leave, but turned around again: "I hope that this matter will be kept secret. "

Chu Xiaoyun looked at him with some doubts.

Fang Lingfeng said: "Your Excellency is already very busy."

Chu Xiaoyun understood: "Don't worry, Fang Concierge, my wife is going elsewhere, I will tell you the truth."

Fang Lingfeng nodded: "Thank you again, Fang."

After Fang Lingfeng left, Chu Xiaoyun thought to himself Fortunately, Rouge Fang has not been rejected. But thinking of Su Wen going to suffer in such an environment, he felt very distressed. I don't know if I can find a more suitable place next to it.

"Capture the head." A voice rang in my ear.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xiaoyun looked up at the arresting officer who came forward.

The passer-by quickly said: "I passed Zhihe Bookstore while I was patrolling the street. The shopkeeper of Zhihe Bookstore asked me to send a message that he wanted to see you. He said that ordinary people in the government office cannot enter..." Chu Xiaoyun nodded

: "I see."

Presumably the matter of Wang Sanqiang entrusted yesterday had some clues, and Chu Xiaoyun, who was about to go out but was interrupted, continued to walk out. Just in time, I went to ask the female shopkeeper of Yanzhifang to ask Su Wen for a day off.

Chu Xiaoyun walked to Zhihe Bookstore, and saw from a distance that the seal on the gate of Zhihe Bookstore had been removed by the government, and the clerks were rushing in and out, as if they were preparing for the resumption of business.

When I looked up, I saw a Drum Tower on the opposite side, and I was shocked. He hadn't noticed this before, and now he just noticed. This Zhihe Bookstore is just under the Drum Tower, and if there is any movement, you can clearly see it from the Drum Tower. How did the framed "Prairie Eagle" get into Zhihe Bookstore?

Chu Xiaoyun was immersed in his own thoughts.

"Chu Butou." Shopkeeper Duan's eyes are also good, and he came over when he saw someone from afar.

Chu Xiaoyun recovered from his own thoughts, and returned the gift: "Master Duan, this is going to resume work. Congratulations."

"It's all the blessings of Master Tuowei and Butou Chu." Duan Chengyang said, "I have an idea about your matter, and I just wait for Butou Chu to decide." It seems that Wang Sanqiang's livelihood is secure,

Chu Xiaoyun He said: "I thank shopkeeper Duan on behalf of my brother."

Duan Chengyang smiled and shook his head: "If it's just about your brother, I don't want to bother Chu Tutou to come by himself." "

Oh, what else? "Chu Xiaoyun asked puzzledly.

"Chu Butou, please come in with me." Duan Chengyang invited Chu Xiaoyun to the yard.

Chu Xiaoyun followed in in a daze.

"All the children I accept are here to give lectures." Duan Chengyang pointed to the side room on the right side of the courtyard facing the street, "The curtain of this room will not be lowered unless there is heavy rain and strong wind. On weekdays when the sun is good, we all Study and practice calligraphy in the yard."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the tables and chairs in the room, where the children study. Su Wen also wanted to be able to read and write, but unfortunately, as a twin, he was deprived of this right.

"Chu Butou will look there again." Duan Chengyang pointed to the opposite side.

That was another family. The house of that family was a small two-story building with a corridor next to the courtyard of the Duan family.

Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled.

Duan Chengyang said: "I came back yesterday and learned that the house next door will move to Qingzhou Mansion, and the house will be rented out. The storefront on the first floor has been rented out. Now there are two rooms left on the second floor, facing us. This room in the courtyard has not been rented out yet."

Chu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, looked at the corridor on the second floor next door, then at Duan Chengyang's courtyard and the wing room where he usually taught the children, and immediately understood the other party's intentions. intention.

Duan Chengyang said: "Although the imperial court doesn't allow Shuang'er and the girl to go to school, it's quite normal to hear the neighbors talking in your own home." Chu Xiaoyun thanked Duan Chengyang a

lot Li: "Thank you, shopkeeper Duan. No, Mr. Duan!"

This place is right under the eyelids of the Drum Tower. Although there are still doubts about how those books were put in last time, if you can hear Duan Chengyang's teaching on the second floor next door , Renting a house here for Su Wen, where he can attend studies and ensure safety, it is really the best place to go. Can solve two problems in a row.

Duan Chengyang hurriedly supported Chu Xiaoyun: "Chu Butou, I can't help it. I'm just trying my best, and it can't catch up with your one-ten-thousandth kindness to my family. Let's go up and have a look, I don't know how to cooperate." It's not suitable."

Duan Chengyang took Chu Xiaoyun to the second floor next door to look at the house, and before leaving, Duan Chengyang specially asked a clerk to speak in the wing room with his usual lecture volume. Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Chu Xiaoyun could see the Duan's courtyard clearly through the green trees in the corner. Because of the distance, the guy's voice didn't sound loud enough, but he could still hear it if he focused his attention.

"Okay, very good!" Chu Xiaoyun sighed, "Mr. is still thoughtful." "It would be

great if it can be used." Duan Chengyang was also very happy, "As long as it is a sunny day, I will always take it with me from now on." The children are studying in the yard, so they can be closer and listen more clearly."

Chu Xiaoyun was deeply moved, and thanked Duan Chengyang repeatedly. He asked the landlord to rent the room facing Duan's courtyard for 200 Wen per month, which was still within his ability. When I took a break at noon, I brought Wenwen to have a look.

Duan Chengyang told him that there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones in stores, so there is no need to go to other places to buy them. Chu Xiaoyun repeatedly agreed. One-stop shopping is naturally good, and money must be paid.
