Chapter 260 Unlucky Master
Chen Kang saw that everyone's eyes were gathered and knew that the purpose had been achieved. He pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice, "What do you know? The master said that when I urge some more taxes, I can urge as much as I can, and then give me 30%." His tone was very mysterious. Although his voice was low, Enough to make the guests in the small pub hear clearly, the shopkeeper stretched out his finger and said in surprise, "Thirties, then you have made a fortune, but do you have to urge the bill?" Chen Kang waved his hand: "Be quiet, don't tell anyone, our old neighborhood..." Chen Kang deliberately looked left and right. The little pimple was coming over to listen. When he saw Chen Kang seeing himself, he hurriedly turned around and ran back out of the pub.
The number of guests in the pub slowly increased. Chen Kang did not dare to drink more. There were more important things to do in a while. He simply drank two sips of wine and ate half a bowl of noodles. He was about to leave. He heard that the pub was lively: Someone talked about it as soon as he entered the door: "Hey, you said, this new thing happens every year, and there are many this year. "." Then someone else asked, "Where has something new happened?"
The speaker is a burly man with a high voice: "Have you ever heard of women ordering prostitutes?"
As soon as everyone heard what Chen Kang said, they were still whispering. Suddenly, when they heard what the man said, they raised their heads and asked, "You haven't drunk yet. Why are you drunk as soon as you enter the door?" The big man smiled and said, "Don't believe it, you can have a look. I just went to send meat to Ruyi Restaurant. Coincidentally, I saw that a woman ordered Miss Liu to sing a song, and I don't know how to do it. Miss Liu is a magic barrier now and scolded the county magistrate. I heard that the girl was a good friend of the county, and she deliberately embarrassed Miss Liu."
The people who ate laughed loudly: "Although Miss Liu is a prostitute, there is no one in this county who doesn't know that she is a good match for the county magistrate. Now it's a good show."
Chen Kang smiled in his heart. This must also be a good thing done by the prince. He asked Xiao Er to pay for wine and rice, carry cloth and jewelry and go straight to the county office. The county magistrate is closing his eyes in the study. After the Spring Year, he will be promoted. If he is still a county magistrate, he will naturally have a way to get rich, but if the one in the capital Relatives put some effort into themselves. If they can really get a transshipping official position, they will make a lot of money.
The magistrate of Zhu County was drinking tea and thinking about good things. Suddenly, he heard the master come and ask, "Master of the county, Chen Kang came and said that he wanted to see you."
"I don't see you." Zhu County magistrate waved his hand impatiently,
The master hurriedly said, "I think you'd better meet. He said there was something very important." The master had just received Chen Kang's silver. In front of the county magistrate, the master's words were still a little useful. The county magistrate Zhu said impatiently, "Call him to come in."
When Chen Kang saw the county magistrate, the last thing Wang told him was completed. Chen Kang looked panic when he saw the county magistrate: "County magistrate, the big deal is not good." Zhu Xianling thought that Chen Kang took the wrong medicine today or something: "Be bold, say that it's not good when you come."
Chen Kang put down the cloth on his shoulder and came to salute the county magistrate. "Oh, county magistrate, don't you know yet? The king took your document and said that he was going to give it to Cai Ting on Jiangnan West Road. What kind of meeting gift it is."
"What." Hearing this, Zhu County magistrate slapped the table and stood up. This was troublesome. He had heard for a long time that Cai Ting had never been faceless, but Zhu County magistrate immediately lowered his face: "Chen Kang, what nonsense you say, what Cai Ting, what meeting gift, what does it have to do with this county?"
Chen Kang pondered for a moment. He really didn't pretend to be deep. He thought about what the king said. The king arranged so many things at once, and it was really not easy to do them one by one. When he thought of it, he said, "Oh, the county magistrate, you are our parents. You know that I also do my best for you, and I don't do it either. I'm willing to watch something happen to you."
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. Say it quickly."
"Okay, didn't you let me go with the king that day? This boy is more cruel. You see, my injury is not good. He asked me to run around to do this and that, and didn't let me rest for a while. I heard him say that he passed by when he returned to Linchuan this time. He was doing the errands of Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang. You sent him to do this job. He hates you. He promised you to do business, but he never did anything about tax collection.
The county magistrate listened and was nervous. Did he send the wrong person? The county magistrate hurriedly asked the master, "Master, what Chen Kang said is the truth."
The master shook his head. The county magistrate was really confused. When Wang came that day, he actually said that his words were not as good as the county magistrate. The county magistrate's was a real face. At a glance, the boy next to the king was not kind-hearted: "Master, Wang did not do anything to urge taxes in the past three or four days."
Chen Kang hurriedly continued to say, "That's right, this boy is bad. He said that when Cai Ting from Jiangnan West Road arrives at Linchuan, he will show Cai Ting the document you wrote, let Cai Ting tell the chancellor, and also said that the tax on you are not collected by the court, but you are greedy."
The master of Zhu County magistrate panicked first: "Sir, you are in big trouble now." It's okay that he didn't remind him. When he said this, Zhu County magistrate also felt big-headed, but he immediately said, "There's nothing to worry about a Cai Ting. My relative is still a judge of the Ministry of Household."
Chen Kang was so happy that he didn't get a board when he entered the county government today. This is a rare thing. Acting to the end, he hurriedly said to the county magistrate, "Master, Cai Tinglai really has nothing. At most, he confiscated your overpaid taxes and then impeach you. You have to wait for impeachment when he returns to the capital, even if he When it comes to the court, we don't kill civil servants in the Song Dynasty. You are already a nine-grade official and a county magistrate. I think the worst is to dethre down 500 miles from the capital..."
The magistrate of Zhu County was so angry. Chen Kang cursed himself in his heart, "Bah, bah, you crow's mouth, master, what should I do now, master?"
Now the master has already set foot in and out of the door. He is about to quietly withdraw. His listed master just wants to make a living and help the county come up with an idea to make a bad job. Listening to Chen Kang's words, the county magistrate is in a lot of trouble this time. The master was thinking about leaving quickly. He suddenly heard the county magistrate. Calling himself, he retreated and said, "I think you'd better pack up and run away quickly, or you can go to the prince to see if things have changed."
Chen Kang hurriedly said to the county magistrate, "No, no, don't look for the king. If you look for him now, he will definitely talk to him, and he will definitely blackmail you. If you want me to say, you might as well go out of the city in person."
"Go out of the city in person, what do you want me to do?"
"Master County, you are confused. If you meet Cai Ting before the king, meet him in person, and give the transshipment a preconceived good impression, then everything will be easy to do."
Chen Kang was quite considerate of himself at the critical moment. Zhu County magistrate was really confused at this time. He didn't think about how he treated Chen Kang in the past: "Okay, okay, did Wang say when the transshipment envoy Cai Ting would come?"
Chen Kang thought for a while: "It seems that I will arrive in Linchuan today. Look, don't I still have the gift from the king to send for transshipment? I pointed to the cloth and took out the jewelry and silver in his arms." The magistrate of Zhu County believed it even more. Just because Chen Kang could not afford to buy these things, there would not be so many silver taels. /P>
"Master, come on, prepare the horse, master, master, master." The county magistrate hurriedly ordered that there was no master in the room. Chen Kang hurriedly stopped the county magistrate of Zhu: "You go so empty-handed. It's too stingy. I don't care about you. I have to send the things back quickly. I have to be preconceived, the county magistrate."
The county magistrate of Zhu can't care whether the master is there or not. The king has sent so many things, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, which are not lacking in his own house at all. He is busy ordering people to prepare sedan chairs and bring gifts. He wants to go out of the city to wait for Cai Ting. The only thing the Zhu county magistrate lacks is brains. Wang has already seen this, otherwise he would be a dignified county magistrate. How can you be so proud of your good words for the king, and you usually publicize your backer, and you are even full of ups and downs with the romantic affairs of a prostitute,
Chen Kang said goodbye to the Zhu county magistrate. The task assigned by the king was successfully completed. He was happy, but he was still a little worried. If the Zhu county magistrate did not plan to leave the city, or no one mind this matter, wouldn't the prince be busy in vain? He left the county government office and planned to go back to his house. Go and pack up your things and move to the king's side. After a few steps, you suddenly heard someone shouting, "Chen lame, stop." He was shocked and hurriedly raised his head. Zhang Sanzheng frowned and blocked his way: "I ask you, what did you do just now?"
Chen Kang thought to himself: Bad, is it because what the prince is going to do has been exposed? He was shouted by Zhang San. The people walking on the street slowed down, and the people selling shops on both sides also looked at it. Chen Kang just wanted to run. When he turned around, he saw the master bowing his head along the wall with a package on his back. Chen Kang pointed to the master and said, "Ask him."
Zhang Sanchao shouted, "Master, come here." The master saw Zhang San and said, "It's all the idea of the county magistrate. It's none of my business."
It's not so easy to slip away. Zhang San rushed over and said, "I ask you, what are you running for?" When the crowd saw the hustle and bustle, they gathered around. Zhang San grabbed the master like a chicken. The master hurriedly said, "The county magistrate is greedy for everyone's taxes, which has nothing to do with me."
"Wo." With that, the crowd blew up the nest, and Chen Kang, who had slipped into the outer circle of the crowd, asked, "Then tell me, do you still pay those who paid taxes before?" He said this on his own time. The task given to him by the king was to incite the people. The more he made everyone feel that this matter had something to do with him, the better.
This half-baked master has been scared. If he can write a few words, he may not be familiar with the laws of the Song Dynasty, especially Zhang San staring at himself. This Ruyi restaurant has the most few people. He hurriedly said, "I heard that someone is coming to check it. If you haven't handed it in, you must make it up. If you have handed it in, I don't I know that the county magistrate is greedy for the money. If he takes it all away, I'm afraid everyone will have to pay another share.
"Fuck you." Zhang San said, punched the master in the face, and hurried back to Ruyi Restaurant to report the news. The people on the street also gathered in groups at this time and talked about it.
