Chapter 124 The Reasonable Master

In the back hall of Shangyuan County, the eldest master Zhang Dongguan was hugging left and right.

One concubine peeled off the newly arrived Yangzhou crab and used a silver spoon to feed him the crab roe. The other concubine picked up the wine glass from time to time and fed him a sip of his daughter Hong.

‘Jinling is so funny, the turtle son has returned to Sichuan to talk.’

County Magistrate Zhang was very happy, and a local accent appeared in his heart.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the disappointed disciple came in and presented a gold-burned silk post and said, "Master, Mr. Liu is looking for a meeting."

"What about Mr. Liu? I don't know how much I talk about, Mr. Liu, a surname in Jinling City." County Magistrate Zhang accidentally brought out Juxiang's accent, quickly picked up a napkin, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and switched to Nanjing Mandarin: "Although I am a stingy bag, a mere member of the school dares to disturb me to eat?"

"It's Mr. Liu from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce." Menzi hurriedly added.

"Oh, distinguished guest." Magistrate Zhang immediately changed his expression, pinched the concubine's tender tofu-like cheeks, and stood up and said, "Change, meet the guest in the main hall."

The Dongting Merchant has great energy and can speak in the two north and south Kyotos. It is not something he, a small county magistrate, dares to offend.

A moment later, County Magistrate Zhang hurried out to meet Mr. Liu.

After a greeting, the latter explained his purpose.

Of course, it is inevitable to call himself a poor victim, as if he was the second-in-command of the Dongting Merchants Group, and he was a little white rabbit who was only persecuted.

"That's how it is." Zhang Magistrate Zhang heard the defendant's name and rubbed his fingers with a bitter face and said, "There has been seen by Tang Youde in this county. Like the master, he has a crown and a belt. This county can only tell him that he cannot detain him."

A few years ago, in order to raise money and food to fight against the Japanese, the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel issued thousands of official lawsuits in one go. No matter what your origin is, as long as you donate enough money, you can be awarded the title of official and the crown. Zhang Yuanwai, who was de Heng, and Liu Yuanwai of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, bought the official lawsuit from the fifth-rank official.

Although they cannot be really an official, with this crown, they can interact with officials on the same level as this.

As a thief as Tang Youde, he would not miss such a rare opportunity. He also tried his best to buy the charity official crown of the Eighth-rank Taichang Temple Xielulang. Although the charity official of the Eighth-rank is inconspicuous, he is guarding against the fact that he will not be destroyed by a small county magistrate.

"Let me let go for now..." Liu Yuanwai said with a dark face: "The boy named Zhao is a white man, so let's take action against him first."

"Then Mr. Zhao has become very famous recently. Even the young master has eaten his last episode." Then he heard that the county magistrate Zhang refused again.

"Don't worry, my parents, I have investigated it clearly. The matter of the young master was due to his cheap brother Zhao Jin's help." Liu Yuanwai hurriedly explained: "At that time, Zhao Jin was the Censor of Nanjing. If he really wanted to fight against Duke Wei, he would not hurt his husband's roots, so he gave in. As for the matter, he would just spread rumors and exaggerate."

"Oh, is that?" Zhang Zhixian seemed to be itchy in his fingers, but he kept rubbing his thumb with his index and middle fingers.

"Yes. And Zhao Jin has been transferred to Hebei to raise horses. What else should I have to worry about?" Liu Yuanwai advised him again, and then gritted his teeth and said with clarity: "In addition, I sued him not for money, it is just to seek justice! Therefore, if the adults help me recover all the losses, they are willing to give the county five thousand taels of assistance to the school!"

"Hiss..." Zhang Magistrate's fingers changed his posture and rubbed them, which was settled.

After a little calculation, he laughed dryly and said, "The county school needs to be rebuilt. Five thousand taels are probably not enough, so at least three thousand taels are needed."

"Yes, but sir, I have to let my anger go." Mr. Liu said with a heavy emphasis.

"I'll pay a deposit of 2,000 taels first... Oh no, scholarship." Zhang Magistrate Zhang smiled and said, "This county will issue a ticket to detain people!"

"The deal!" Liu Yuanwai seemed to be very angry.

After receiving the 2,000 votes for the two thousand two sessions, County Magistrate Zhang finally gave the bill with a smile.

After seeing off Mr. Liu, he asked someone to call Li Jiutian.

Zaoli wanted to live in the county government office, so Li Jiutian quickly came to sign the house and knelt down and obeyed the order.

After sitting upright in the desk, County Magistrate Zhang handed him a ticket card with the undried moist words and said, "Take the person on this head and lock him in the classroom for a few days before passing the court."

"As for orders, master!" Li Jiutian was overjoyed when he heard this. Whether there were ticket cards was a world of difference for clerks! It was just a matter of representing a county where people were killed, and they didn't violate the law of the king; it wasn't just a matter of disturbing the people privately, and they didn't violate the law of being killed...

He hurriedly stepped forward and took the card with both hands, wanting to see how much oil and water the fat sheep on it was.

"Ah, Zhao Hao from Caijiaxiang?!" Unexpectedly, he almost lost his heart when he looked at it:

"The young man dares not provoke the living Tai Sui. He even dares to beat the young master..."

"Random!" County Magistrate Zhang slapped the table heavily and cursed angrily: "You rude clerk, is this your place to bargain? You can't get people, wait and eat the board!"

"Oh, yes..." Li Jiutian dared not disobey the master's order, so he had to hold the life-threatening ticket card and retreat with a sad face.

That night, Li Jiutian was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, he changed into casual clothes and did not take Baifu. He came to Caijiaxiang alone to look around.

Unpredictable, someone was patting him behind him, which scared him so much that he almost sat on the ground.

"Jiutian, what's the point of making a fool of himself?" But he saw Yu Jiachang standing behind him with a strange look on his face.

"I'm scared to death..." Li Jiutian then breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Old Jia, can you be at home?"

"Young Master went out to escape the summer heat, and I haven't seen anyone for many days." Chief Yu Jia looked at Li Jiutian alertly and said, "What's the matter with you when you look for your master?"

"Something is discussed with him..." Li Jiutian was a little calmer when he heard that Zhao Hao was not at home, so he smiled at Yu Jia and said, "It's the same with you."

Then he pulled Yu Jiachang to a secluded place and explained everything about last night.

"Of course I dare not detain the young master to squat in the class, but my arm can't force my thighs. The old master said, what should I do?" Seeing Yu Jia's face turned black, Li Jiutian took himself out first, and then carefully suggested: "My eldest master is famous for his reasoning. The young master is now quite rich. Go to him personally to reason with him, or let a small person pass on a message. It should be a big deal and a small matter."

"This is not something I can decide." Yu Jiachang snorted: "Let me tell you the young master, please wait for the reply."

"Okay, please be sure to do it as soon as possible." Li Jiutian begged with a sad face: "At most four days, I'll be eating the board..."

Deep in Xiaocang Mountain, there is a lotus lake. At this time, Zhao Hao was wearing a straw hat and competing with his two apprentices to fish.

Wu Yu walked over, leaned in his ear, and reported Yu Jia's long words to Zhao Hao.

"Let Chief Yu Jia tell Li Jiutian that I will show up on time on September 18th and will not go one day earlier."

"Master, don't pay attention." Hua Shuyang smiled and said, "Someone sued our Hua family ten years ago. The county magistrate changed three times, but he never got the court."

"That's right, I didn't kill anyone and set fire, what should I do?" Wang Wuyang said uneasy: "In Taicang, officials and officials are walking around us."

"Okay, you guys are awesome."

Zhao Hao laughed, and suddenly saw the fish float shaking violently, so he lifted the fishing rod and threw a three-pound carp ashore.

He really didn't move in Xiaocang Mountain, and he ignored the summons in the county.
