Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 5: Becoming a Yamen Runner

Others only saw Zhao Erlang's glory, but no one saw his hard work. If he could not read or write, if he did not have great strength, if he did not know any martial arts, no one would recommend him even if there was a chance.

In this way, on the third day after Chunya was born, Zhao Erlang found a stable job, which lasted for three years.

In his previous life, Zhao Erlang had been in a very miserable state for the past three years. He was driven out of Xiaowang Village with the blame on him, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law's property was occupied by ungrateful people. In order to prove himself, he did not return to his hometown. He worked everywhere and accumulated health problems for his future. The bad deeds done by Shen Youcai and Xiao Jiang were not exposed until three years later. They had already spent all their property, and the two of them were eventually thrown into jail. What was the point?

Huangyang County is a very small place, and there are only six yamen runners. The old runner is frail and sickly and will resign at the end of this month. Many people are eyeing that position, including Jiang Guihua's man Ergouzi. In the end, the position fell to Zhao Erlang.

Jiang Guihua was filled with resentment and jealousy towards Jiang Shi, and she could not stop thinking about Zhao Erlang.

Ergouzi felt that he was cuckolded and could not bear it any longer, so he started to beat and scold his wife. Jiang Guihua was not a person who could tolerate this and she ran back to her parents' home.

Er Gouzi hated Jiang Guihua even more. He fell in love with a widow, who was the widow Zheng that Goudan had found in his previous life.

Xiaocao's alarm bells went off. If Ergouzi and this widow gave birth to a son, her aunt would definitely be divorced!

If my aunt were divorced, the girls in the Hua family would never be able to find a good husband in the future, and they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.

Xiaocao was so angry. Why did bad things always happen to her? She just wanted to live a good life. What was wrong with that?

While drinking milk, Xiao Chunya revealed a big news, "Father, be careful of County Magistrate Cao (Seventh-rank County Magistrate, Eighth-rank County Magistrate, Ninth-rank Chief Clerk). This old guy is full of bad intentions and pretends to be a good person. County Magistrate Tao didn't even notice it. It was he who accepted twenty taels of silver from Shen Youcai and leaked the exam questions. That's how Shen Youcai's student passed the exam. It was also County Magistrate Cao who sent someone to commit suicide by hanging my bad aunt in the prison. I guess he will deal with Father in the next few days."

Zhao Erlang held his burping daughter in his arms and continued to act with his wife, "I don't think County Magistrate Cao is a good person. He is one way in front of the county magistrate and another way in front of the yamen runners."

Jiang said, "As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. We should be on guard against people like this."

"Mother is right. Isn't this guy a bad guy? Look at my tiny arms and legs. I'm going to beat him up when I grow up!"

Baby, and a violent baby.

Xiao Qiulin complained in his heart that his father's great strength was inherited from his sister. In her previous life, his sister had asthma and she secretly went to learn Taekwondo. This time, his sister was in great health and very strong. Wouldn't this cause chaos?

"Grandpa Hu bought a rooster a few days ago, and the hens in the brood now have something to look forward to. In just one night, the rooster conquered all the hens in the house." Xiao Chunya's inner voice rang out, and her voice was a little irritable, "Quack, quack, what is this nonsense? Are you going to tell me that this big rooster is very nutritious? Even if it is a Japanese tonic pill, can I, a baby who has only been born for a few days, eat it? Is it fun for me to just stare at it?"

System: (★~★) It sent the wrong melon and it feels very embarrassed.

Xiao Chunya said, "Don't let me eat these weird melons in the future. I will have indigestion and diarrhea."

Zhao Erlang and Jiang Shi were trying to hold back their laughter. Even eating fake melons would cause indigestion. His daughter was really talented.

"The county lieutenant's dog ran away from home, and the county lieutenant's wife was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She had three sons but only one dog. So the dog was the county lieutenant's wife's true love, and her three sons were all accidents."

Xiao Chunya said, "Where did the dog wander off to? Oh, it ran to Xiaowang Village. What does it look like? Some are black, some are white, and some are yellow. Some look mean, and some look arrogant. When my father found it, he gave it to the county lieutenant. From then on, County Lieutenant Deng was my father's ally, and County Magistrate Cao did not dare to provoke County Lieutenant Deng."

"Well, wife, I have something to go out for." Zhao Erlang put his daughter in the cradle and went to look for the dog of County Magistrate Deng.

As Zhao Erlang walked out of the house, he saw the little dog at the door, which his daughter described as looking mean but arrogant. The corners of his mouth twitched and he picked up the dog. The county lieutenant's wife had a very unique aesthetic taste.

There are a lot of these small dogs in the village, and each one is prettier than this one. Just looking at the dog in his hand makes him want to beat it up.

Zhao Erlang sent the little dog back. County Lieutenant Deng looked at him as if he were a real brother. But after getting to know him, he found out that this burly county lieutenant was actually a henpecked husband. Mrs. Deng was a shrew. She looked so graceful and pretty, but when she opened her mouth, people's world views were shattered.

The uncle of County Magistrate Deng was actually the Minister of War in the imperial court. This discovery made many people gasp. The county magistrate of Huangyang County was a ninth-rank lieutenant of benevolence and courage, but County Magistrate Deng was a seventh-rank lieutenant of achievement. His rank was equal to that of the county magistrate, and they took office together because they were close friends.

None of those local tycoons were fools and they all knew how to change their attitudes according to the situation. Therefore, for a long time afterwards, Huangyang County was peaceful and apart from some petty thefts, there were no major crimes.

Finally, the county magistrate was promoted three years later thanks to this political achievement and some connections. He probably never imagined that the reason was all because of a dog.

Shen House

Shen Qianyuan was ill and missed the latest news in the past two days. After all, Zhao Erlang was not a big shot. A small yamen runner could not withstand the storm and no one would take him seriously.

Such a small figure was able to occupy Yang County for more than ten years. County Magistrate Cao overthrew him and sent him to jail. The county magistrate was so angry that he confiscated County Magistrate Cao's property.

The three unlucky people who passed the exam by leaking the exam questions were all disqualified and could not take the imperial examination for ten years. One of these three people was Shen Youcai, who is now shivering at home.

"What a pity for Zhao Erlang." They were already enemies in the beginning, and it was impossible to win him over now.

However, given Zhao Erlang's identity and ability, he can only target Shen Youcai and cannot pose any threat to the Shen family.

Shen Qianyuan felt that the biggest threat to him right now was his eldest brother Shen Qianjun, who had openly poisoned him, and the other brothers were all trying to take advantage of him and kill him with a borrowed knife.

Shen Qianyuan felt that he should take action and wanted to rely on the old man to save him, but that was a daydream!
