Chapter 132 Summer Insects Can't Talk About Ice (1)
Chapter 132: Summer insects cannot speak of ice (1)
Wang Guo is indeed a warm-hearted person!
"This matter is related to the stability of Haixi. Since Mr. Ma has come in person, I should try my best to speak for you... However, what you have done before is indeed a bit too much. If County Magistrate Deng holds a banquet invitation
, it’s understandable that you dare not go because of Chen Sheng’s power. But why haven’t you taken any action since Chen Sheng died? If I were Deng Haixi, I would definitely be very angry.”
"I'm so confused, so confused!"
The Jia people looked embarrassed and bowed repeatedly.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng did not continue talking about the matter. After sending Jia Ren away, he prepared a car and headed to the county government office.
What I didn't expect was that Deng Ji was not in Haixi County.
It turned out that after Chen Gui dismissed Chen Sheng as a descendant of the Chen family, he also invited Deng Ji to Guangling to talk about it. As Deng Ji's Shangguan, and also the leading family in Guangling County, the Chen family could be said to have given Deng Ji enough face. And Deng Ji
As Chen Deng's subordinate, according to etiquette, Ji should have visited Chen Deng before taking office... Therefore, since the Chen family opened their mouth, the trip to Guangling was urgent.
"Hu Ban, is Mr. Puyang here?"
"In reply to Mr. Wang, Mr. Puyang and my master went to Guangling together."
Wang Cheng asked: "Mr. Puyang has also gone, so who is staying in the county government now?"
"Oh, it's my young master!"
"Master Cao?"
"Exactly... The young master was supposed to go to visit Mr. Chen, but he stayed in Haixi County because he felt unwell."
"Oh okay!"
Wang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Mr. Wang, do you want to see my young master?"
"Oh, since the young master is ill, I won't bother you anymore! By the way, did County Magistrate Deng mention when you plan to recruit troops and horses to encircle and suppress the pirates?"
"Well..." Hu Ban shook his head, "It seems that the master has never mentioned this matter! After Chen Sheng was eradicated, the master just ordered people to recall a hundred patrols and put them in charge of Feng Chao and Pan Zhang. Others
...Oh, I remembered it. The owner also said that the management of the market must be strengthened, and he also said that he was planning to introduce a... The name is too hard to pronounce, I can't remember it... Oh, Public Security Management Regulations."
"ah?"
Wang Cheng looked stunned.
"What it is?"
"The full name is Haixi County Beiji Commercial District Public Security Management Regulations. The specific content is not something that a villain can inquire about."
"Haixi County Beiji Commercial District Public Security Management Regulations?"
This long name is indeed a bit difficult to pronounce.
Wang Cheng scratched his head, secretly gave Hu Ban some money, and then left.
What are the regulations of this Laoshizi commercial district? What exactly are they?
Wang Cheng walked away confused. Hu Ban looked at his back, weighed the copper coins in his hand, and laughed softly.
"Hu Ban, why are you laughing?"
"Oh, someone came over to ask again just now. I answered according to the young master's instructions and got another reward."
"Damn, my master's skills are really good."
"That's...I got almost two dollars in this afternoon. But speaking of it, Wang Cheng is still generous, and he always makes a move."
After joking with the doorman, Hu Ban walked into the county government office.
He bypassed the government hall, passed through the corridor, walked into an arch, and came to the courtyard where Cao Peng lived.
The courtyard was very quiet, with a study, two rows of side rooms, and a small garden. Hu Ban walked to the door of the study, knocked on the door, and opened the door.
"Sir, Wang Cheng is here!"
"What is he here for?"
Cao Peng was sitting among a pile of papers, flipping through them.
When Hu Ban came in, he asked directly without raising his head.
"He came to see the master...but the master was not here, so he didn't say anything more about asking for a meeting."
"Did he say anything else?"
"Oh, he just asked when the master will destroy the pirates."
Cao Peng shuddered and raised his head from his desk.
"Why is he, a teacher, so enthusiastic about fighting pirates?
I remember that after he visited my brother-in-law for the first time, he announced it to the outside world in a panic, which almost put my brother-in-law into an embarrassing situation."
"This... I'm not sure about this little guy."
With a trace of tiredness on his face, Cao Peng straightened up and gently rubbed his temples.
These two days have really exhausted him!
In order to find out things about Yuki Copper Town, he almost rummaged through the documents in the archives. It must be said that the files recorded by the ancients often explained a lot of problems in just a few words. Cao Peng was reborn after all.
In 2000, he had some understanding of the rhetoric and sentence making in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. However, understanding was all about understanding. When he took out these documents and looked them up, it was really hard.
A sentence often needs to be thought over and over before some of its meaning can be clarified.
Cao Pengzheng was holding a bamboo slip similar to the Haixi local chronicle. Most of the records recorded on it were some mysterious and strange things...
Like, local legend?
Well, it's like the type of ghosts and monsters in "Sou Shen Ji".
Putting down the bamboo slips, Cao Peng stood up from the slips and grabbed two jade balls the size of a baby's fist.
This pair of jade balls were confiscated from Chen Sheng's home. It is said that they were Chen Sheng's favorite thing. Cao Peng thought that these things looked like fitness balls from later generations, so he kept them. There were two white jade balls in his hands.
It rolls and makes a crisp sound from time to time.
"This Mr. Wang is a little too enthusiastic about fighting pirates."
He walked out of the study, raised his head, and glanced at the gloomy sky. Haixi was like this in winter, wet and damp, which made Cao Peng feel somewhat uncomfortable. He walked slowly on the porch, while Hu Ban
Behind him, he followed slowly...
"Hu Ban, how about the inventory of Chen Sheng's property?"
"Brother Xiahou is still counting. When he left in the morning, he also said that Chen Sheng's property is so huge that it is difficult to count it all at once."
"Well, it is indeed a bit difficult for Xiahou to do such a thing."
Chen Sheng's business during his lifetime covered the gold market, grain and rice, woodworking, cloth farming and other industries.
In addition, there are various businesses such as pawns and farms, which are diverse and very complicated. Moreover, it is necessary to count the population and register, which is a very hard work. There are currently more than 30,000 people registered in Haixi. But
This was the population two years ago. How many people are there in Haixi now? No one can tell. Local tycoons often have slaves in their homes. These slaves are the private property of the tycoons and are not shown in the household registration.
Chen Sheng occupies a large area of fertile land in Haixi, so how many slaves are there under his name? It needs to be carefully checked and counted... Xia Houlan can fight, but he can't do this kind of thing.
That's right, Chen Sheng is dead!
Deng Ji also seemed to have gained a foothold in Haixi.
But in fact, Deng Ji has not established a complete team of members so far.
Generally speaking, in addition to the county magistrate, a county town also needs to establish a county magistrate to manage documents and warehouses; one or two county lieutenants to manage public security. Below the county magistrate and county lieutenant, there are also chief clerks, merit officials,
In addition, there must be the most basic officials such as the three elders and the district chief. The county magistrate or county magistrate is appointed by the court. However, the prefectures and counties can also intervene in the county's personnel affairs.
However, the situation in Haixi was special, and Chen Deng did not intervene in it.
Now that Deng Ji has opened up the situation, the establishment of a team of staff is imminent.
The post of county magistrate has been taken up by Puyang Kai; county captains, Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan can all take up the post. Cao Peng's current post is Haixi County Bingcao. But in fact, he only has a total of one hundred
There were many soldiers and horses. Feng Chao was appointed as Bing Cao Shi, and Pan Zhang was appointed as Bing Cao. They were already the armed forces of the entire Haixi County. The rest, such as Hu Cao, Fa Cao, Cang Cao, Gong Cao and other positions, were still vacant.
It is unrealistic to rely on Deng Ji alone to govern Haixi County well.
Puyang Kai's knowledge is very outstanding, but he has some shortcomings in dealing with these trivial matters.
Therefore, the top priority was that Deng Ji needed to recruit a chief secretary and meritorious officials from various ministries, and then he could establish a complete team.
But it is really difficult to build a team.
Those without talent will be useless; those with talent, who would be willing to work under Deng Ji, an ordinary county magistrate?
Cao Peng patted his forehead: I need to find some help for my brother-in-law!
He suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Hu Ban, have you ever released the news I asked you to release?"
"Young master, I have all been released... However, they all asked me, what are the regulations? What exactly are they?"
Cao Peng smiled slightly and said, "When it's time to tell you, I will tell you of course!"
"Here!"
"Okay, you go down first."
Hu Ban bowed and retreated.
Cao Peng walked slowly on the corridor, the jade ball in his hand spinning faster and faster.
Fish Kiss Copper Town!
The mysterious murderer...
And the legendary treasure.
These days, he has been thinking about this matter, and a thread gradually formed in his mind.
According to Haixi local chronicles...oh, it is recorded on the bamboo slips in the style of Zhiguai: Li Guangli indeed buried a large amount of wealth before surrendering to the Huns. However, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the present, no one has found it for hundreds of years.
The location of this wealth and the so-called labyrinth have gradually become a myth and legend. Today, this legend is not well known.
Li Guangli's treasure - Yuki Copper Town - the mysterious death of Haixi County Magistrate in recent years - Mai Cheng's stay in the county government...
Everything seems to be pointing towards the Mai family.
And this Mai family is a local wealthy family in Haixi. It not only has a long history, but also has a high reputation.
Although Chen Sheng looks domineering on the surface, compared with the Mai family, he is a scumbag! The Mai family is the real hegemon in Haixi!
Cao Peng can deal with Chen Sheng mercilessly, but that doesn't mean he can deal with the Mai family.
In his previous life, he relied on his passion and was not afraid of the powerful, and in the end his family was ruined; in this life, he repeatedly warned himself not to act as a hero! So when faced with the same problem, Cao Peng decided to tolerate it temporarily and not rush to solve it.
This mystery.
After all, Deng Ji has not yet taken root in Haixi County...
One more thing, Wang Cheng seems to be very active these two days.
Perhaps because of his instinct as a criminal police officer, Cao Peng was wary of Wang Cheng from the very beginning.
According to the information he got, Wang Cheng is indeed a good man. He is generous, he is willing to do charity, he does not seek luxury, and lives an almost ascetic life. Such a person is really perfect. But it is this perfection that makes
People feel that Wang Cheng is unreal.
It seems like it was deliberately made to be perfect!
If that was the case, why did he make this false impression?
Under great good, there must be great evil. This is Cao Peng's feeling... Wang Cheng's enthusiasm for suppressing pirates made Cao Peng even more suspicious.
call……
It’s really a complicated thing!
Cao Peng took a deep breath and stood down on the corridor.
The winter rain began to fall in patter, but Cao Peng unexpectedly discovered that in the corner of the courtyard wall, a plum blossom was quietly blooming!
