Chapter 428 The children of the Wu family are happy to travel to Dalao
At this time, it is the time to plant spring wheat in Northeastern Prefecture.
But...
Bang!
The table really suffered, it was almost smashed to pieces by Kang County Magistrate in the past few days.
"Who are they? It's their turn to help with spring plowing?!" County Magistrate Kang scolded: "They are clearly here to test me. If I refuse their help with spring plowing, it means that I will give up." Their Wu family wants to appoint Someone else will be the new director!”
“And you, Bantou Peng, know this is what they are thinking, but you still dare to tell them that you think the rice in the Yamen is too unpalatable and you don’t want to serve it. ? ”
Plop!
Peng Bantou knelt down with a pale face: "My lord, county magistrate, please calm down. It was my fault. I should not have sent a message to them. Please punish me. I only ask you to allow me to continue to serve the Yamen." ! "
Magistrate Kang, who had always been dignified, suddenly cursed out loud, shocking everyone in the room.
Yangxian Lieutenant scolded Bantou Peng: "You deserve to die. You know clearly that the Wu family wants to hold on to the position of head of the village, but you still come to help deliver the message. If you want to help the villagers, this is not the way to help."
"I know I was wrong, little one." Bantou Peng fell to the ground and admitted his mistake. He saw that Magistrate Kang was in a good mood today, so he dared to come over and send a message.
How could I know that he was operated on?
Yang County Lieutenant looked at County Magistrate Kang and suggested: "Your Majesty, since the Wu family has come knocking on their own door, why not take the opportunity to announce the candidate for the new head of the village, so that they can give up."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Kang nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then call all the relevant personnel and decide the matter today."
"Yes, I will handle it now." Yang County Lieutenant went to handle it himself.
Although Yang Xianwei was a martial artist, he handled matters very appropriately. He first called the village chief Zhou and his son before going to do other things.
Because the case of Wu Lichang's family is a major case that has not been encountered in Taifeng Town for decades, Village Chief Zhou and others have stayed in the county to this day in order to cooperate with the investigation.
Village Chief Zhou and the others arrived soon.
Standing in front of the office courtyard for a moment, Village Chief Zhou took a few deep breaths and solemnly stepped into the courtyard.
"The head of Zhoujia Village in Taifeng Town is here to pay homage to you as ordered!" Old village head Zhou said.
Soon, Master Lu and Master Han came out and said, "Village Chief Zhou is here, please come in."
"Yes." Village Chief Zhou was trembling in his heart. Weiwei, with a calm face, walked into the house with steady steps, cupped his hands and faced upwards. County Magistrate Kang at the head saluted: "Greetings to the County Magistrate."
Kang County Magistrate nodded slightly: "Sit down."
After Mr. Zhou sat down, Doctor Kang walked over and smiled. Said: "I'll ask you for a safe pulse."
"Hey, thank you for your work." Old village chief Zhou smiled, knowing full well that the yamen was afraid that he would die too quickly if he was sick, so they wanted to take a pulse.
A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Kang finished examining Mr. Zhou, and then took Mr. Zhou’s pulse.
After a while, Doctor Kang reported to County Magistrate Kang: "The father and son of the old village chief Zhou are in good health and have a long life."
The position of village chief in the countryside has been passed down from generation to generation. According to legend, positions rarely change unless seeking death.
After hearing this, Magistrate Kang put down his writing brush, looked at Old Village Chief Zhou and his son, and said: "I have given you a pass on the Zhou family two days ago. I believe you already know the reason why I called you here today... …Tell me, are you willing to take this position?”
Old Village Chief Zhou pondered for a moment, then knelt down and said solemnly: "If you want to speak to your lord, I am willing to take over this position and be the head of each village in Xilisuo Town."
"Although I don't have any great ambitions, But over the years, I have seen the atmosphere in the village getting worse and worse, and I feel very anxious. , Now that the adults like me, I dare not say anything else. After becoming the head of the village, I will definitely control the villagers in Zhenxilisuo, slowly change the atmosphere of the township, and make the people's hearts good. "
The voice is not loud, but it is full of the love and expectation of an old villager for his hometown.
Old village chief Zhou knocked his head heavily on the ground again and choked up: "I am guilty. Over the years, I have heard about the bad behavior of Wu Wu, Kong Miao and others, but I have never spoken out... If If we could scold them in public earlier and expose their hypocrisy, there would be no big murders in Taifeng Town." From the mountain girl to the Huang sisters, have the locals really not heard of them being bullied?
Have heard of it.
But everyone is afraid of getting into trouble, so they prefer to pretend they don’t know.
After hearing this, Magistrate Kang finally nodded with satisfaction and turned to Master Tuesday, who was kneeling with his father: "Tuesday, what do you have to say?"
Master Tuesday swore an oath: " Huang Tian is above, if I indulge myself in the future and allow my descendants to use their power to plunder, cannibalize, Those who do harm to the villagers will be punished by thunder and death!”
Master Zhou is of a laid-back nature and has no obsession with getting a job and becoming the village chief, but he listened to his old father! After saying this, he eagerly wanted to help his father fulfill his wish to improve the atmosphere and lead the villagers to do good.
It takes more than one generation to correct the moral righteousness. He thought that with more people of his generation, the folk customs in Taifeng Town should be better.
Master Tuesday made another request: "Sir, we father and son want to write a letter of abdication... No one knows what future generations will look like. With this letter of abdication, etc. In the future, if the village head is replaced by another surname, even if the children of the Zhou family and the three relatives of the Zhou family are dissatisfied, there will be no reason to cause trouble. "
Bang!
The table suffered again.
But this time, Magistrate Kang was happy to slap the table: "Okay! I really did not misjudge your Zhou family!"
Originally, County Magistrate Kang was worried that the Zhou family would have too much power in the countryside and would become the second Wu Li eldest family. However, he finally felt relieved after seeing that the Zhou family and his son did not care about power.
But...
Kang County Magistrate is not afraid of the descendants of the Zhou family committing crimes. At worst, the next county magistrate will arrest them and kill them.
A local snake in the countryside will always be an ant when compared to the imperial government!
But at this moment, County Magistrate Kang was happy: "Bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Mr. Zhou and his son."
Village chief Zhou and his son each wrote an abandonment document, and Master Lu took it to County Magistrate Kang for review.
After reading it, Magistrate Kang nodded with satisfaction and handed it back to Master Lu: "After the ink is dry, store it in the Yamen book for future generations."
"Yes." Master Lu answered. Pass.
After finishing the work here, County Magistrate Kang ordered: "Let County Lieutenant Yang bring the rest in."
"Yes." Master Han immediately went to do it, his steps were so happy that he walked briskly many.
Hey, his father-in-law has grown up in the family, so if he goes to take office elsewhere with the Kang County Magistrate, he and his wife will be able to rest assured that his father-in-law will look after him at home.
......
"Yang County Lieutenant, your Excellency has invited you."
Wu Liukui and the others waited outside for more than two quarters of an hour. When they heard this, they finally felt relieved. He suppressed his impulse and waited for Yang Xianwei to take a step before following him.
Behind them were Kong Lichang, Miao Lichang, Lu Clan Chief, Grandpa Qin and others... They all stayed in the county because they wanted to cooperate with the investigation of the case.
"Wu Liukui of the Wu family, leading the children of the Wu family, pays homage to the county magistrate. Please greet the county magistrate!" Wu Liukui shouted as soon as he came in, looking eager.
He quickly put on an anxious look.
Oh, we even acted in it. Do the Wu family love acting so much?
Kang County Magistrate sneered, became interested, and asked Wu Liukui: "You Wu family disciples asked Peng Bantou to report that you wanted to see me. Why?"
Wu Liukui was overjoyed. , Magistrate Kang still cares about the power of the Wu family. Look at so many people coming in, but the first one to ask is his Wu family.
Wu Liukui looked worried about the country and the people, and said: "Sir, we are seeking to see you this time to inquire about the arrangements for spring plowing in various villages in Zhenxili... Food is the most important thing for the people, and spring plowing is the top priority. Under the leadership of the chief, The village chiefs must supervise the villagers to get the spring plowing done well. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the autumn harvest and grain tax may be affected.”
Oh, I haven’t even praised you for being fat, but you are already gasping for breath.
