"Please wait a moment, I will go in and pass the message."
After the officer on duty finished beating the officer who almost offended Zhu Pingan, he came to Zhu Pingan and said with a smile on his waist, respectful and enthusiastic, completely different from the previous one. After saying that, the officer on duty said
Then he trotted all the way to Hou Ya Tong, looking like a good public servant of the people who was loyal to his duty.
Regarding the scene at the gate of the county government office, the corner of Huang Chandian's mouth twitched. Was Liu Tou possessed by evil spirits?! Or did he suddenly discover that the nerd was his long-lost brother? There is no reason!
Heartbroken!
The officer holding the smelly socks touched his face, which was so hot from being beaten by the officer on duty, and looked at the figure of the officer on duty trotting along with dull eyes, feeling that his whole world had been turned upside down.
What made their worldview subvert even more was that a moment later, the county magistrate, whom they rarely saw a few times a year, came out of the backyard of the county government office with a smile on his face, laughing as he walked, laughing on this snowy day.
It's like a spring breeze.
The official on duty bowed his head and followed behind the magistrate.
"I've met the magistrate," Zhu Ping'an said before the magistrate reached the door, cupping his hands and saluting.
The magistrate of Tongcheng County is about fifty years old, with a shiny face.
No introduction was needed. Zhu Pingan could recognize him as the county magistrate at a glance, because he not only wore the black gauze hat he wore at work, but also wore a cyan official robe. On the official robe, there was an 鸸鸒, pronounced "西wing", embroidered on it.
A kind of water bird with beautiful colorful feathers. Males and females often accompany each other. They like to sleep together and fly together. In the Ming Dynasty, official clothing was custom-made. According to the system, those with embroidered bird feathers on their official uniforms were the seventh-rank officials.
Within the county government, only county magistrates of this level can embroider such a bird on their official uniforms.
Today, it seems that "dressed beast" is a completely derogatory term, referring to those people who have the appearance of being human but do nothing. However, in the Ming Dynasty, "dressed beast" was a good word. It refers to court officials. To say that someone is "dressed beast"
", that is really a great honor. It is because of the official uniform system of the Ming Dynasty that "civilian officials wear animals and military officers wear animals", people use the idiom "dressed like animals" to refer to court officials.
At Huang Chandian outside the gate of the county government office, I saw Zhu Ping'an, a bookworm, just bowing his hands when he saw the magistrate. He was so rude and was really making his own trouble. Just wait for the wrath of the magistrate.
"Hello, Mr. County Lord."
Huang Chandian led several officers forward, passed Zhu Ping'an, and bowed their heads to say hello to the magistrate. The other officers all knelt down and kowtowed. For them, it was not just a matter of meeting the magistrate.
So now that I can see the magistrate himself, he steps forward with great energy to make his presence felt.
"I've met Mr. Qingtian."
Yang Dacheng and the hostess also knelt on the ground tremblingly. After Yang Dacheng knelt down, he couldn't help but rub Zhu Pingan's calf with his shoulder, urging Zhu Pingan to kneel down quickly, lest Zhu Pingan would offend the magistrate and be punished again.
.
"My dear brother, why do you need to be so polite?"
The magistrate came over and complained with a smile on his face, very enthusiastic.
Good brother?
Huang Chandian, who was bending down in front of the magistrate, almost shed tears of joy when he heard this. What did I hear? The magistrate actually called me my good brother. In an instant, a wave of heat rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
With this title, wouldn't he have the opportunity to be promoted from Huang Chandian to Huang Dianli?
Just when Huang Chandian raised his head excitedly, he saw the county magistrate passed over him and came to Zhu Pingan with a smile.
"Brother Xian, why are you so polite? I have heard about you for a long time. This time in the Enke Township Examination, Brother Xian has given us an eyebrow in Anqing Mansion. Come and tell me at the back office."
The magistrate of Tongcheng was all smiles and extended his hand to invite Zhu Ping'an to the back office.
"Your Excellency, the County Lord, has given you too much praise. Safety is nothing more than a fluke. Compared with the Lord County Lord's political education and enlightenment in Tongcheng, it is nothing more than a firefly to the bright moon. Tongcheng is the 'thorough of seven provinces', the 'cultural capital of China', and the 'first city of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River'.
His name is as loud as thunder, and this is all your fault. I haven’t had a chance to visit you in peace, so I am truly lucky to meet the county magistrate today."
With an admiring smile on his face, Zhu Ping'an raised his hands and thanked the magistrate. Then he changed his words and looked at Huang Chandian as he apologized to the magistrate and continued:
"However, I'm afraid that Ping'an won't be able to go to the back office with the county magistrate. This Huang Chandian will take me to the prison."
The excitement on Huang Chandian's face turned into fear in an instant. What kind of existence had he provoked?
Just now, I thought he was just a powerless nerd, but in the blink of an eye, the magistrate became so polite to him. Listening to the magistrate’s words, it turned out that the nerd was a candidate who just passed the exam this year, and it seems he is still here.
Ci Enke became a prominent figure in Juren.
As for Juren, he is still such a young Juren. At his age, he was probably still worried about passing the county examination. Damn, everyone is doing Juren. It's really irritating that people are more powerful than people.
In addition, just now I thought that he was just a pedantic nerd who didn't understand the world, but the flattery he had just now was hundreds of times smoother than my own.
This must be such a big city. From the moment he entered Yang Dacheng's house, he had been hiding and pretending until now. It wasn't until he met the county magistrate that he suddenly broke the disguise and exposed his fangs to himself unprepared.
This is clearly a tiger covered in pigskin.
Thinking about it, he had provoked such a person. Huang Chandian could not help but feel fear on his face, and his face was ashen. What grudge do I have against you?
"Oh, what's going on?"
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, the Tongcheng magistrate turned around and looked at Huang Chandian with slightly narrowed eyes.
"My lord, I, I"
Huang Chandian's face was ashen, his hands were shaking, he couldn't say a complete sentence, and his whole body collapsed.
This nerd is too ruthless and scheming. He used Chunqiu's writing method and didn't talk about other things. He just grabbed himself and let him go to jail. If he talked about Yang Dacheng first, he would be able to do anything.
Shirking, but forcing myself to ask him to go to jail to ask questions, I'm just trying to shirk it.
Not even the county magistrate has the right to put a juren into a prison cell. He can only ask the Imperial Examiner to deprive him of his status. With a small amount of money, he actually has to put a juren in jail.
If you make a mistake in this matter, you will have the first impression, and you will not be able to quibble about the subsequent matters.
So ruthless and scheming!
Huang Chandian looked at the smiling Zhu Ping'an, as if he saw a tiger opening its bloody mouth towards him, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. How could he have provoked such a ruthless character? He felt like crying without tears, filled with regret and fear.
They attacked together and submerged Huang Chandian. (To be continued)
