Farmhouse is so old
Chapter 49
In Wenshui County Yamen, Prefect Lu, wearing a black gauze hat and neat official uniform, was sitting on the desk looking at the official documents with anxiety.
He had read the official document on the desk several times, but he didn't read even a single word. He pretended to be troubled and couldn't calm down no matter what.
The yamen servants outside were all running around, and the huge county yamen gate even had no guards at ordinary times, which seemed a little deserted.
"Don't worry, I'm about to stumble." Tang Qing was dragged into the county office by Liu Shikang, and sprained accidentally.
Liu Shikang stopped and said urgently, "I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry."
"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Qing moved his feet, touched it with his hands and saw that there was no damage, and then waved his hands.This Liu Shikang was really too anxious. He dragged him away just now. His clothes could be used as a mop. He would not have stopped if he had encountered this step. Fortunately, he was not injured, otherwise he would not have helped him. .
"I'm really sorry." Liu Shikang apologized to Tang Qing sweating profusely. Seeing what he did, people are willing to help him, but he is still frizzy. If he offends, he really deserves to die up.
Lu Zhifu was fidgeting in the backyard of the court, and he became even more impatient when he heard someone making noise outside the door. These government servants who only accept money will be unlucky sooner or later. Got those little tricks?
Speaking of this matter, half of it was because of the instigation of these yamen servants, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a mess now.
One by one said it nicely, saying that the county government is poor, and the money issued by it is not enough to feed the family. It is no big deal to change a batch of food. If it is not for the fact that the food has been stored for many years, there will be a lot of damage , and looking at the big guy pitifully, how could he agree, a mistake would cause eternal hatred, and it is too late to regret it now.
"Who is making noise outside?" Prefect Lu asked, frowning.
Liu Shikang knocked on the door and said, "Liu Shikang from Zaoban, please see me."
"Come in." Prefect Lu was a little surprised. He didn't know what the people in this class asked him to do. Could it be that he wanted to resign at this juncture?Lu Zhifu's eyes became cold, hum, he can't survive these people and don't even think about running away alone.
Liu Shikang took Tang Qing in and bowed to Lu Zhifu.
"That's all right, all right, let me know if there is anything to report." Prefect Lu was a little impatient, seeing that they were still doing this formal ceremony, he waved his hand to signal that there was no need.
"Lord Lu, I brought a person who can resolve this crisis, but..." Liu Shikang looked at Tang Qing again, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Just what?" Prefect Lu didn't care at first, but when he heard him say that someone could resolve the crisis, his eyes fell on Tang Qing, and he began to scrutinize Tang Qing.
Judging from the appearance of the person in front of him, he has delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth, and a dignified appearance. From the appearance of his clothes, he looks simple and generous.
Although Zhifu Lu had dealt with Tang Qing several times before, he had never met him, and he only remembered such a person. He didn't know that this person was Tang Qing at this moment.
"It's just something, but it's okay to say." Prefect Lu asked again, as long as this matter can be resolved, he can promise anything he can do.
From Lu Zhifu's point of view, the two people in front of him just want some money and power.As long as he keeps the black gauze hat on his head this time, he will have the final say in the entire Wenshui County, and he will have the final say on what he wants.
"It's just..." Liu Shikang gritted his upper and lower teeth, plucked up the courage to go up to Lu Zhifu's ear, and of course praised Tang Qing.In front of Tang Qing, he was too embarrassed to say some exaggerated words, so he could only whisper them into Lu Zhifu's ears.
Lu Zhifu's eyes lit up after hearing this, straightened his clothes, looked straight at Tang Qing and asked: "You name it, can your friend really solve this matter?"
"The boy's surname is Tang Mingqing. My friend is absolutely fine. Don't worry, Mr. Lu, but for this reason, please ask Mr. Lu for advice." Tang Qing looked at Prefect Lu and nodded affirmatively.
Lu Zhifu looked at Tang Qing's body full of confidence, and he believed it three points in his heart, and then heard that his name was Tang Qing, why did the name sound so familiar.
Tang Qing-Tang Qing, Zhifu Lu wandered around in his mind for a day, and then he remembered that this is the person that the young master specially confessed. I haven't had a face-to-face encounter, so I don't know it.
Since he was able to make good friends with the young master, and also heard that he also had good friends with the Cheng Cheng family of the eight major merchants, so it is not difficult for him to solve the current matter.Prefect Lu believed Tang Qing's words to [-]%.
"Don't stand still, sit down." After knowing Tang Qing's details, Lu Zhifu felt relieved. With such a character, he could really escape this time by luck, and he didn't put on airs anymore. Put down your posture and talk to Tang Qing in an ordinary tone.
"Thank you very much." After Tang Qing sat down, Prefect Lu personally poured him another cup of tea, so Tang Qing had no choice but to stand up and thank him.
Prefect Lu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, only Lu Pingze is here today, and there are no prefects. We can just talk as friends."
Lu Pingze is Lord Lu's name. Lord Lu has already said so, so he must have recognized him in his heart. Otherwise, how could the dignified magistrate condescend to speak to a commoner like himself in such a tone.
Although prefect Lu's attitude eased a little, Tang Qing was still respectful, and the difference between a commoner and an official could not be explained in just one or two sentences or one or two favors.
It is precisely because of realizing this that Tang Qing thinks about helping the prefect Lu, but using him as a springboard to gain some benefits, so that he will not have a cat or a dog in Wenshui Town in the future Bullied myself.
Although no one has come to make trouble at this stage, who knows how many people with pink eye disease are watching you behind the scenes. If you don't take precautions, you will bite yourself bloody when you wait for the vicious dog to come to your door.
Tang Qing is not very smart, but he still understands the most basic truth. No matter where you are, there are always many people with pink eye disease. These people are like poisonous snakes in the dark, and they might come out to bite you at any time.
In the future, the pharmaceutical factory and Shanhuo will grow bigger, and with my civilian body, troubles will be inevitable.But if their wings are full enough, these people have to weigh their guts.
It is inevitable to get along well with the magistrate. If you offend the magistrate, they will put you in small shoes, or a ambiguous sentence can kill you.
Tang Qing didn't think that with Ying Linfeng and the others behind him, he would be spared. He couldn't quench his thirst at a distance, and he would be defeated when he realized it. Protect the whole family.
Of course, he doesn't want to become an official, or leave this small county. Tang Qing doesn't think his brain is much smarter than the ancients. He can't play politics or play tricks by himself. It's better to be a commoner honestly. There must be a powerful commoner.
"Master Lu was joking." Tang Qinggong took the teacup respectfully, without showing any sign of taking Joe.
Lu Pingze nodded in his heart, knowing how to measure, knowing that advancing and retreating is a talent, and immediately he has more than doubled his favor, such a person can be handed over.What I am most afraid of is the kind of arrogant and self-righteous person. Even if such a person has received favors, he must be dealt with, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Since you said you have a way, I don't ask what your friend is doing. As for the reason, there is one reason at the moment. The people in Lincheng are suffering from floods. Now that the spring plowing has passed, there will be no harvest this year. As long as this time It will be a great achievement for someone to come out to donate food, and I will also win some benefits from His Majesty for you at that time."
Lu Pingze's words are not without error. It is less than half a month now that the huge Lincheng will have to borrow food from the surrounding area. It seems that the disaster in Lincheng must be very serious, but these counties and counties can't last long. Droughts have occurred in many places, and this food must be in short supply.
If someone can donate a large amount of food at this time, it will not only solve the problem of disaster relief food, but also make his official career smoother.Of course, Tang Qing's benefits will not be lost, so I have to give him some credit, but I don't know what this kid wants.
"Ask for favors from His Majesty?" Tang Qing began to perform again, pretending to be shocked, and then he was pleasantly surprised, vividly interpreting the look of a poor man who suddenly picked up gold.
"Yes, I just don't know what you want." Regarding Tang Qing's rude behavior just now, Lu Pingze just smiled. No matter how friendly he was with the young master, His Majesty would be excited to hear it.
Tang Qing smacked his lips excitedly, and said happily: "I want a plaque written by His Majesty himself. If we have this, our family will be honored."
"Just this?" Lupinze asked again in disbelief, he couldn't believe his ears, he didn't want anything other than the plaque?It is also feasible to ask for an official position or reward some silk and satin.
Tang Qing nodded sincerely, without any greed in his eyes, as if winning the plaque meant winning the whole world.
"Okay, as long as you get things done, I will definitely get this done for you. I don't know what food will be available." Lu Pingze patted the table and laughed loudly, then asked Tang Qing the last sentence in a low voice.
Tang Qing thought for a while and said, "I'll go to my friend right away when I go back. After I convince him, I'll send a letter to the Cheng family and contact their family for the ship to bring it back. I promise that no outsiders will get any news."
When Lu Pingze heard the last sentence, he nodded in satisfaction. What he wanted was to prevent the Sun family from getting any news.If the Sun family was let go of this matter in advance, and the people in Wenshui Town would make a fuss, it would be over.
Being an official pays attention to the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are lost, the official career will also come to an end.No matter how greedy the county government is to accept bribes, they will just turn a blind eye and close one eye, because this matter has nothing to do with them, but if it involves disaster relief food that is closely related to them, it will definitely cause trouble.
But as long as this matter can be dealt with before the Sun family, no matter what the Sun family says at that time, he will be innocent and the people will support him. Don't be afraid of him anymore.
He had read the official document on the desk several times, but he didn't read even a single word. He pretended to be troubled and couldn't calm down no matter what.
The yamen servants outside were all running around, and the huge county yamen gate even had no guards at ordinary times, which seemed a little deserted.
