Zhang Hu refused twice and put the money away: "You deserve it! Tell the truth to the young master, I was sent by the county magistrate to take the young master to the county government for questioning. The young master did this, which makes me uncomfortable."
It’s so easy to open your mouth.”
Su Ren smiled: "It doesn't matter. If the county magistrate calls me, I will naturally go with Brother Zhang. I wonder what the county magistrate wants from me?"
Zhang Hu then pulled Su Ren into the house and told Liu Wen what had happened to him: "The county magistrate is furious about the bag of salt. Young master, please be careful!"
It was still night when we entered the city this time, and we followed Zhang Hu into the county government office. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the room, Hou Jian was also here. Behind them were Chang Yuan and Hou Si. Chang Yuan had a smile on his face, but Hou Si was still the same dead person.
Face. This reminded Su Ren of the pair of diamonds in the temple.
Su Ren knelt down in front of Chang Shi and Hou Jian: "Little man Su Ren pays homage to the county magistrate and pays homage to the school captain."
Changshi smiled and said: "Okay, we all know who you are. There is no need to be so groveling. If you really respect the two of us so much, you won't write our names on the cloth bag containing salt. I heard that now the whole city
Every household of the common people has this cloth bag."
Fortunately, these guys didn't know what name rights were, so Su Ren naturally wouldn't explain it to them. Su Ren chuckled, and then got up. This room was Chang Shi's study. Since it wasn't the living room, he wasn't treated as a guest. One picture
The long table and three Taishi chairs were all made by Leng Jun. Chang Shi sat behind the long table, Hou Jian sat behind Chang Shi, and the remaining chair must have been reserved for Su Ren.
Su Rengong cupped his hands and walked towards the chair: "To talk about this matter, the county magistrate should thank me."
"Nonsense!" Hou Jian said with an angry look on his face: "Both of us are court officials, how can we put our names in the homes of lowly people? This is an insult to the county magistrate."
Su Ren finally figured it out. The two people must have discussed it. One was a bad guy and the other was a good guy. The purpose was of course simpler, and it was nothing more than asking for money.
Having made up his mind, Su Ren quickly said: "Forgive me, Captain, how about I wait for the villain to finish his words? The county honorary and the captain are the parents of my Wenshui County. What is a parent official? They are the parents of the people. The people wrote those two
Placing a cloth bag with a taboo name at home is a sign of respect for the county magistrate and the captain. I heard that many people have offered this bag as an offering. This is how the people respect you two!"
"May I ask the county magistrate, in which county in the world do the people respect their county magistrate so much? I'm afraid we are the only people in Wenshui who are so grateful to the county magistrate, right?"
He felt happy when the common things were said, and nodded repeatedly. Hou Jian still had an angry look on his face: "Speaking like a glib, what the county magistrate asked about was about writing our names on the salt bags. I'm avoiding the important and choosing the easy. It's obvious that this is a serious crime of slandering a court official."
.”
"The captain is surprised! This is a kind act to let the people remember the benefits of the two parents. How can there be any blame?"
Su Ren showed sincerity and fear: "This villain has no intention of insulting the two parents and officials. He just wants the people in the county to remember that these fine refined salts come from the hands of the county magistrate and the school captain, so that the people can be grateful to you two."
The kindness of the parents and officials is actually for the sake of the two of you, and I would like to ask the county magistrate to give you a lesson."
Chang Shi chuckled: "Forget it, the two of us combined are not as eloquent as this kid. I told you just now that the only way to punish him is to pull him over and chop him with a knife. If you let him say a word, you will have no chance.
If you don’t believe me, what about now?”
Hou Jian snorted coldly, his face bulging with anger like a sitting toad.
Su Ren quickly knelt down in front of Hou Jian: "You dared to write the official names of your two parents on a salt bag. You really don't know how to insult your two parents. I am willing to be punished. I will visit you in a few days and ask for forgiveness from the school captain."
Hou Jian sighed and said to Chang Shi: "The county magistrate still knows people. This guy is very smooth and much smarter than us. Now he has completely broken up with Liu Wen. I don't know how to end it?"
Chang Shi also sighed and said to Su Ren: "You are the one who caused this, so you must give an explanation."
Su Ren quickly promised: "Shopping malls are a process of survival of the fittest. Liu County Prime Minister has been running official salt for generations and has no intention of making progress. Being eliminated is just a process of time. But the boy has no intention of replacing him. In fact, he is doing it for the sake of the whole world."
For the sake of the people of the county, as long as I have the support of my two parents and officials, even if I risk my life, I will have to work hard to provide good salt for the tens of thousands of people in Wenshui County."
"Do you really want to fight with Liu County Cheng?" Chang Shi thought that Su Ren would give up some places, but he didn't expect that Su Ren actually wanted to completely destroy Liu Wen.
Changshi felt a little happy when he heard this, but for various reasons he still wanted to ask.
Su Rendao: "Since we have already fought, we cannot give up halfway. I still have many ideas in my mind to feed and clothe the people of Wenshui. As long as the county chief agrees, within half a year, Wenshui will definitely become the leading wealthy county in Shu County."
.”
"Is this true?" Chang Shi's eyes were shining brightly.
Hou Jian snorted coldly: "Everyone can tell lies. I'm afraid that this guy will leave the mess and walk away, leaving the two of us to clean up for him."
Su Ren raised his head: "Since the captain doesn't believe it, forget it. I am an outsider after all. In this case, if I leave Wenshui tomorrow, I can give Liu County Cheng an explanation."
"Nonsense!" Chang Shi said: "Who said you are an outsider? I have found out that Su Ren is from Wenling, Wenshui County, and a disciple of Taoist Chongxu. I have evidence and can't make false claims."
Hou Jiandao: "There is no basis for words, but there is no basis for words."
Chang Yuan had already come out from behind Chang Shi holding a bamboo slip, handed the brush to Su Ren, and waited with a smile for Su Ren to sign it. Su Ren did not hesitate and signed his name on the lower left side of the bamboo slip.
"Unfortunately, this kid has the means to get rich, but he doesn't have a suitable identity. A common man is always unable to do things well. What if..."
"Hahaha!" Chang Shi and Hou Jian looked at each other and laughed: "What am I talking about? This kid is not a thing in the pond. If you give him a little sweetness, he will go to heaven, that's it! From today on, you will be
I am the magistrate of Wenshui County, specializing in salt and iron work, what does this title mean?"
"What kind of official is the county magistrate?"
Hou Jiandao: "Xian Zonai is a minor official in the county, and he is already the county's most capable person. Why are you still planning to be a county magistrate? Or a county magistrate?"
"Don't dare!" Su Ren waved his hands repeatedly: "This is very good. From now on, my actions will be justified."
They had no intention of staying as a guest, so Su Ren couldn't stay for nothing. Zhang Hu escorted Su Ren out of the city gate, said some words of congratulations, and then parted ways. He was walking alone on the road, surrounded by dark lights.
There were no two ghosts. On the mountain ridge in the distance, I don't know which house still had its lights on, flickering to give Su Ren some courage. The night owl screamed so miserably that the listeners felt panicked.
"I am a wolf from the north..."
Su Ren was still a little scared to walk alone at night. He had never been out at night like this. There was not even a street light. Today was the 15th and it was a sunny day. The moon in the sky was very white. Although he could see the road clearly, he could not see the road clearly.
The road was illuminated with a sickly white color, which made me even more panicked when walking on it. In order to embolden myself, I let out this wolf-like howl.
"Ouch..." The wolf in the forest must have thought it had found its own kind, and responded with a howl. Su Ren was so frightened that he quickly shut up, and his feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Turning up a hillside, I saw a dark shadow standing under a big tree in the distance. The shadow was very tall and dark, standing there motionless. Su Ren was frightened and stopped quickly. Originally, he was not interested in things like ghosts and monsters.
, Su Ren never believed it. Since coming to Dahan, his thoughts seemed to have changed. Looking at the statues in Laojun Temple, he felt much more solemn.
"Who? Is it a human or a ghost?"
"Master, it's me!" Huo Laosi's voice said.
Su Ren let out a long breath, and his nerves, which were almost frightened, relaxed: "So it's you, why are you here?"
Huo Laosi laughed and hurriedly put the clothes in his hands on Su Ren: "Everyone is worried and asked me to go to the city to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here. The county magistrate didn't embarrass you, right?"
"Why are you making things difficult for me? We make money for him. We are his God of Wealth."
Huo Laosi nodded quickly. Su Ren smiled: "Not only did he not embarrass me, he also gave me a small official. From today on, I will be the county magistrate, specializing in salt and iron matters. How about that?" I have never been a minor official.
Su Ren, who had served as an official, suddenly got into the civil service system of the Han Dynasty, and was quite proud of it.
"Really!" Huo Laosi hurriedly congratulated: "Now it's good, now it's legitimate for us to sell salt. Even Liu Wen can't make irresponsible remarks."
While the two were talking, they soon returned to Laojun Temple. It was a good day, except for the youngest Huo Zhilan, who had gone to bed, everyone else was here. Huo Jin even carried the spear that Su Ren had made for him yesterday and walked away.
Standing with both legs at the door of the main room.
Leng Yue served the food. After running back and forth for forty or fifty miles that day, she was really hungry even though she didn't eat enough water and rice. Su Ren ate very deliciously and kept putting the food into his mouth.
"How's it going? What did the county magistrate say?" Leng Jun asked impatiently.
As the first person to know the good news, Huo Laosi quickly explained to Su Ren: "Now, the county magistrate has made the master a county magistrate, specializing in salt and iron affairs. From today on, our salt will be warm water."
The most authentic salt, that Liu Wen was completely defeated."
"Really!" Several people were very happy, and their faces were all happy. When they looked at Su Ren again, they suddenly felt that Su Ren was much taller. The whole family didn't even go to bed, waiting for Su Ren to eat.
After the meal, I gave Su Ren a glass of water and asked Su Ren to tell me about going to the city, especially the process of how the county magistrate appointed Su Ren as the county magistrate.
Although the county magistrate was a low-ranking official, he was already considered outstanding in the eyes of these ordinary people. Su Ren chuckled, pulled up a chair, put the tea bowl on the table, and imitated the hoarse tone.
Said: "Speaking of which, at noon today, Zhang Hu, the head of the county government, came to Laojun Temple..." (To be continued)
