Chapter 792: Filial piety is the first punishment
Wang Chang looked at himself, reached out to take a look, touched his face and belly, lowered his head and stopped talking.
In fact, he really wanted to say that Gongsun Moyu was not black and thin, but just black. How could he not be black when he ran outside all day long? But he couldn't excuse himself for accusing others of being angry, so he could not take him directly to the capital.
"I can prove that within one and a half years, the magistrate of Wang County did not get a penny from the county government finances for himself to enjoy." Gongsun Moyu spoke out for justice.
Without waiting for others to ask, he continued, "Because after I came to the county, I knew the financial money. Last year, part of the money handed over to the court and was beaten back was in the Datang Money House in the prefecture. Last year, there were twelve waves of patrol personnel. County Magistrate Wang really touched the financial money, so I reported it.
Since the Chinese New Year this year, our finances have been made public and we have told the people every penny they need. So far, five more waves of patrol personnel have come. If there is really a problem, the villagers will tell the truth when the patrol personnel ask the people."
"Yes, the Gongsun County Magistrate is right. I come to inspect once a month. I am timid and will not spend money from the county." Wang Chang said quickly.
"Don't change your concepts. I ask you why you are fat and fat. You told me that you didn't spend the county's finances. If you didn't spend the financial money, you can only say that you are not greedy, but you can't say that you are fine. For example, you have accepted bribes, such as bullying people with your county magistrate, or you have to go to a restaurant to eat and leave money."
Bei still believes that Wang Chang's body cannot be easily raised in difficult circumstances in the county.
"I...I..." After Wang Chang heard the question asked by Xiao Bei, his words began to become scattered, obviously he was called something.
Gongsun Moyu said from the side: "What I can say is that the magistrate Wang does not pay for food, and he has three fixed restaurants for food. Each time the restaurant gives Wang County Magistrate Wang money, the less is 20 to 30 cents, and the more is 50 to 100 cents."
"Ha, I can still make money by eating. Why haven't I encountered such a good thing before? Wang County Magistrate, tell me, I will learn to follow me and do it. There are such wonderful things in the world. Good." Xiao Bei began to grit his teeth.
"Unforgive, unforgive." A man emerged from the crowd, holding a rolling pin in his hand. When everyone saw the weapons in his hand, four people grabbed his clothes, threw the rolling pin on the ground, and were scared because at least twenty ****s were already facing him.
"Pick it up and what weapon can a rolling pin be used as? At critical moments, the rolling pin can do what the rolling pin can do, and the fist and head can do it. Newcomer, who do you think is wronged?" Xiaohai didn't believe that someone would rush over and attack with a rolling pin, which was only two feet long.
The gun was put away, and someone picked up the rolling pin, but it was not handed over to the person who squeezed in.
"Mr. Wang County is wronged. I heard outside that he asked for money if he doesn't pay for food. He is really wronged. He often eats in my shop. Why do he say he is resentful? Because he not only eats, he also helps with it. Wang County Magistrate's cooking skills are simply amazing. Oh, my surname is Zhang, and I have the word "Jing Ming"."
This man who claimed to be Zhang Cai gave a thumbs up when he praised Wang Chang.
Xiaobei and others didn't say anything. They looked at Zhang Cai and signaled him to continue.
Zhang Cai seemed a little nervous. He gasped for a few consecutive breaths to calm down his mood. Then he said, "The best thing for Wang County Magistrate to cook is his skill in knife skills and fried food. The knife is good. Cut radish and a few shredded radish are not as thick as the hair. There are also fried foods, the same pot, the same oil, and the same thing. The food fried by Wang County Magistrate Wang was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
What level should I reach? Let me tell you something, you know pork, and fish, after the hand of County Magistrate Wang, put it in the pot and fry it. The pork outside took a bite of crispy crumbs, and the fish inside was like something like juice, which was fragrant and fresh.
People who have eaten will give you a certificate. Every time County Magistrate Wang comes to the restaurant for dinner, I have asked you to join in the fun. Let’s not talk about how he is a county magistrate, just talk about his cooking skills. I’ll give him money, right?”
"right."
“I’ve eaten it, too.”
"tasty."
"Cai Duanzi, don't talk nonsense. The fried foods of Wang County Magistrate are good, and the fried foods are better than you. Don't put gold on your face."
As the proof sounded, Xiao Bei looked at the old man next to him and the old woman with a stick. Seeing that the two of them did not object, he believed a lot in his heart.
After taking a closer look at Wang Chang and Wang County Magistrate, Xiao Bei suddenly laughed: "Haha, are you a cook or a county magistrate? No wonder you are a fat man. You are a typical foodie. If you don't care about the affairs of the people in the county, you go to someone else's restaurant to eat and cook for others. Don't you think you are a county magistrate?"
"Yes, yes, foodie, I am a foodie, I am not worthy of being the county magistrate." Wang Chang said as he said.
"I can't understand, you are a foodie, how can you become a county magistrate? You should be a cook." Xiao Bei was depressed this time. Who brought Wang Chang to the position of county magistrate? It's a scam.
"I took the exam. In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, I was 42 in the Mingjing subject. I used to work in the court. I found that my salary was too small. Next to my land was the land of other high-ranking officials. I wanted to raise pigs, but people said it was smelly and they didn't let them raise them. They wanted to dig a pond to raise fish. They were afraid that the water from the pond would flow into their fields and drown the seedlings, so they would not let them dig.
Later, I cooked dishes for my head official for half a month before he helped me transfer me away. Then Wenshan County was short of the county magistrate, and I asked someone to help him and transferred them to Wenshan. Before I came here, I knew that there was a lot of wild game in the mountains and a lot of medicinal herbs, so it was just right to make food."
When Wang Chang talked about eating, he had to drool. He swallowed it twice before it didn't flow out of his mouth.
Xiao Bei slapped his forehead hard: "I... I... I really don't know what to say. I believe Zhang Cai now. The dishes you cook must be delicious. A person who chose to choose an official to choose a place for eating. I don't think it's right to say whether the dishes are delicious. Have you been hungry since you were a child?"
"No, I could have a meal when I was young, it was my mother. My father died early, and my mother pulled us brother and sister to live alone, and then..."
Wang Chang began to talk about family affairs, saying that his mother suffered a lot in order to raise their six children. In the past, they ate first when they were young, and after they finished eating, their mother would eat. If they had lost all the food, they would just get some dishwashing water to drink, which was considered to be eating.
Later, he swore to the heavens to the ancestors, saying that one day he would make a fortune and that his mother would definitely eat good food every day. Before taking the imperial examination, he helped others copy books, earned money to buy ingredients and came back to make it for his mother, and then took the imperial examination at the big time. He actually passed the examination.
Then, while becoming an official, he bought his salary into various things for his mother, wife and children to eat. As long as he is at home, he will not let others cook. When he develops the habit, he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't cook for a day.
No matter where you become an official, you must first consider what you can eat locally so that you can eat delicious food when you take your family over.
I am very frugal in daily life. When my clothes are torn, my wife will make up for it. I don’t throw away the leftover food. After all, my mother used to drink water when she washes the dishes, but she always feels afraid of being struck by lightning when she throws the leftovers.
When I arrived in Wenshan, I found that there was more wild game, but the county was poor, far worse than before. I used to be able to get some benefits from other places, but Wenshan County was nothing. I really wanted to be greedy, but my mother refused to let me say that it was the hardship of the people. I would be retribution sooner or later when I spent this money. I would rather continue drinking dishes than eat the food I bought with greed, otherwise I would starve to death.
So Wang Chang felt that his salary was not enough and changed his approach, and went to three good restaurants in the county to help. After making money, he went back to buy ingredients and went home to cook for his family.
With a good skill, I have been doing well in several years and I can make bear paws for my mother twice a year. With the arrival of Gongsun Moyu, I found that I could not beat others. Gongsun Moyu was capable and let go of the matter in the county. I focused on cooking.
"I really didn't do anything bad." Wang Chang promised again last.
"You said you didn't do bad things, and you did nothing. Thanks to Gongsun Moyu coming, otherwise the people in the county would be cheated to death by you." Xiao Bei pointed at Wang Chang and said.
"I confess my guilt. I deserve to die." Wang Chang lowered his head.
Xiaobei sighed: "Oh."
He reached out and grabbed Xiaoyuan's shoulder and shook it back and forth, saying, "Xiaoyuan, why do we have such a miserable life? Can't we encounter a simple case? Find out the evidence and chop off our heads, and everyone is very careful.
Look at who we meet? When we checked the beach, we were very capable, so we could only warn us. When we checked the city, we found that we were also used, and we were sleek. Now, we said that you cut him down, but he was filial first and he knew how to be thrifty.
Moreover, he helped the restaurant to cook, which has improved the dietary conditions of some people. But you said you wouldn't deal with him. He hasn't made anything for several years, and he just thought about how to make delicious food. It's so tormenting."
Xiaoyuan empathized with it, nodded, and comforted Xiaobei: "Fate, this is all fate. The county magistrate cannot do it, otherwise we will send him in front."
"What are you doing? Let him do business?" Xiao Bei asked with his lips pursed.
"Go to the front to study the ingredients there, and then build a place to build food. Food is the most important thing for the people, let him go and try it." Xiaoyuan came up with an idea.
Xiao Bei thought about it and said dissatisfiedly: "It's enough for brother. Didn't my brother cook for us? He said it might appear in the future. It's called curry. I'll hold it with my hands to eat it. I'll feel disgusting when I think about it. I admit that he has ambitions since he was a child and cooks well, but it depends on who he compares with.
I have good knife skills, and my brother is beautiful when playing with flying knives? Fry a pork with fish, it is nothing more than roasting the pork slightly to remove moisture. When wrapping the fish, apply starch to moisturize the inner layer of the pork. If it is cold, use frozen fish. After frying, of course it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like juice, right, Wang County Magistrate."
Wang Chang listened next to him. At the beginning, he was still very nervous when he heard the two of them decide their life and death. When he heard what Xiao Bei said later, he immediately forgot about the nervous things. He asked in surprise: "You...how did you...how did you know? My exclusive secret recipe, if you make a bun, just freeze it first. My recipe is not outlined."
"Ah! My restaurant is in the restaurant. Shuiyunjian had soup dumplings many years ago. Do you think you made it well? Have you ever eaten real soup dumplings? What my brother makes is the best delicacy in the world." Xiao Bei said proudly.
"If you have time, you will definitely ask for advice." Wang Chang responded dissatisfiedly.
"You have time, my brother has no time yet."
"Yes, I almost forgot that your brother is Xiaobao, and he won't play with me." Wang Chang seemed very depressed, and his status was too different.
"First find a place to rest. Let's talk about your affairs. Don't worry, if you can't die, you can suffer at most. Gongsun Moyu, think about the plan and tell us that we can't solve it. If we can't solve it, we can find our brothers and sisters. I believe that our brothers and sisters are definitely a little better than you."
Xiao Bei, who found that he could not kill the officials directly, accelerated his pace. At the same time, he also thought this was good, which meant that there were fewer and fewer problems in the Tang Dynasty. If there were officials everywhere, the Tang Dynasty would be in danger.
