Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One The New Year's Eve
Chapter 121: Want to take action during the Chinese New Year
The team came to a village next to Tuqiao Village, which was where County Magistrate Jia wanted to deliver things, and some would be delivered to Lijiazhuang, where several households lived a hard life.
County Magistrate Jia resisted the urge to go directly to find Han Wangzhu, and took the yamen runners to deliver things to poor families in the village. Seeing the people who had obtained things kneeling and kowtowing, and burst into tears, County Magistrate Jia was in a better mood, even if he had bought things from Zhangjiazhuang at a high price.
Waiting for the village to send it to him, County Magistrate Jia was not going to the village next to the Li family to deliver it. He ordered the yamen runners to rush to Shuiyunjian and not to go upstairs to have dinner. He brought four yamen runners into the yard where Han Wangzhu lived. Two of these four yamen runners were bought by County Magistrate Jia, and two of them were to be cleaned up in the future.
As soon as County Magistrate Jia entered the yard, Lord Han Wang came out as if he had known it. County Magistrate Jia arranged the two confiscated ones at the gate and took the bribed ones outside the house, allowing the two to stay here.
This time, the magistrate Jia County and Han Wangzhu were both careful and even not ready to speak. After a few greetings, Han Wangzhu took out a pen, and the two of them wrote on the paper, blocking them next to him.
"Mr. County Magistrate, why are you here today?" Han Wangzhu wrote on paper.
"Zhangjiazhuangzi made money again. He sold firecrackers. He didn't know how to make them, so he failed to imitate them." County Magistrate Jia also wrote.
Han Wangzhu nodded, thought for a while, and wrote on the paper, "What do you want to do with your adults? Don't let him continue to sell firecrackers?"
"No, I can only think of other ways. Haven't you already had an idea? Tell me, I will do it now." County Magistrate Jia was not stupid. He knew that he could not stop others from selling things. The main reason was that the yamen runners didn't listen to him. He could not transfer troops from other places. Unless Zhangjiazhuangzi committed a big deal, he dared to ask the people behind him for help.
Master Han Wanghesitated when he saw what County Magistrate Jia wrote. After a while, he wrote, "It's still early, it's best not to do it during the Chinese New Year, so as not to cause trouble."
County Magistrate Jia looked at the words on the paper and his face kept changing. He also knew that if something went wrong during the Chinese New Year, the matter would be a big deal. Zhangjiazhuangzi would no longer treat him like before. Although he didn't know what Zhangjiazhuangzi would use, Zhangjiazhuangzi's methods should never be underestimated.
County Magistrate Jia felt aggrieved again. He didn't know how to make a decision. Or wait? Sweat seeped out from his forehead. County Magistrate Jia rubbed his teeth and wrote on the paper, "You can't wait any longer, so as not to have too many dreams. If you have any ideas, I will do it myself."
"Sir, do you think about it again?" Han Wangzhu persuaded again.
"No need." County Magistrate Jia insisted.
"Okay, someone will hand over the details to the master tomorrow. Remember not to let the second person see it." Han Wangzhu saw that County Magistrate Jia was about to take action during the Chinese New Year, and there was no other way. The plan would be done with County Magistrate Jia, so he had to make arrangements like this.
County Magistrate Jia did not continue writing this time and nodded seriously. Perhaps the last moment was about to come. He was a little scared, but more excited, feeling that he had finally had the opportunity to suppress the Zhang and Wang families. Even if he couldn't let them fall down all at once, at least he could get more benefits.
All this depends on how Han and Yuan Zhuangzi did it.
County Magistrate Jia took a deep breath, picked up the paper written by the two of them, and lit it with a scythe. He watched the papers turn into dust and stepped on them with his feet. He was relieved. He was really afraid. If this matter was spread to Zhangjiazhuang again, he still didn't know how they would deal with him.
With plans in mind, County Magistrate Jia knew that he could not turn back, so he talked to Master Han Wang for a few more gossips, got up and left the house, saw the two yamen runners standing at the door, and said to them: "You must not say what I said to Brother Han just now."
The two yamen runners looked at County Magistrate Jia in a daze and nodded under County Magistrate Jia's gaze.
County Magistrate Jia did this on purpose, and wrote all the truly useful things in his pen. It was nothing if others knew what he said. He was planning to let the yamen runners develop habits from now on.
"Sir, go slowly." Han Wangzhu said goodbye when he sent County Magistrate Jia to the gate of the yard.
After the figure of County Magistrate Jia disappeared, Han Wangzhu did not dare to delay at all. He found the horse in the yard, turned over, and ran towards the Han family village himself.
County Magistrate Jia left the yard and couldn't say what he was feeling. He always wanted to go to the small bridge to see it, but he felt a little guilty. He walked along the way and came to Shuiyunjian without knowing it. He stopped going up to the second floor. He found a place near the village house on the first floor, pushed the window open, and looked at the snow that was still falling outside, and did not move.
"Mr. County Magistrate, what do you want to eat?" County Magistrate Jia did not speak, and the yamen runners did not speak, but the guy couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Whatever you want, you can do anything. The snow is better. It's bigger, bigger." County Magistrate Jia felt a little crazy.
The guy was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Okay, I'll prepare it for you now."
Waiting for the guy to leave, County Magistrate Jia looked at Tong Yabo and others standing there, and said with a smile: "Sit down, I'll have a meal with me today. Oh my God, it's going to change."
"Sir, it's snowing all the time. Can you tell me it will be sunny?" Tong Yaboshe asked in confusion.
County Magistrate Jia looked like a senior, waved his hand and said, "No, it will be bigger. Oh my god, Sanshui County, whether it is sunny or sunny, it will change."
The magistrate Jia County believes that Han Jiazhuangzi and Yuan Jiazhuangzi will definitely help him a lot. Those two villages are no worse than Zhang and Wang's family, and they are even more powerful. At least they have made their fortune earlier than Zhang and Wang's family. How long did the Zhang and Wang's family get up, and they are not as good as those two.
After Magistrate Jia finished speaking, he saw that the yamen runners next to him didn't say anything, so he said again: "Is it better to change the world?"
"It's good if you say it's good. It snows heavily. The winter wheat can have enough water. Don't worry about not falling. The wheat will grow first." Tong Yabos agreed next to him.
County Magistrate Jia stopped talking at this time and looked back and forth on several yamen runners who had not been bribed by him, especially Tong Yabos. They watched for a longer time. Every time they saw Tong Yabos look back at the puzzled gaze, County Magistrate Jia would laugh.
The food was already served and the wine was almost warm, but County Magistrate Jia still didn't speak or eat it. Until he saw these yamen runners not knowing what to do, County Magistrate Jia picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes, and said to the yamen runners:
"Eat it, this wine and food cost no money. Thank you to Zhangjiazhuangzi. You should thank you even more. Are you the boy yamen runners?"
"Sir, it's true. In fact, we yamen runners should be grateful to you. After taking office, they did not resign the younger ones, so that the younger ones can still have a salary. Only the younger ones can have a good life in their family. Sir, the younger ones will have a cup of wine."
Tong Yabos knew that County Magistrate Jia went to see the Han family today. Seeing County Magistrate Jia like this, he must have a way to deal with Zhangjiazhuangzi. Now, when County Magistrate Jia is happy, he naturally has to talk about it. As for what in the end, can anyone beat Zhangjiazhuangzi? There are experts there in charge.
Seeing the yamen runners' look a little nervous, the magistrate Jia felt more and more that he would succeed this time. He picked up the wine and said, "The Sanshui County in the future will be better than now, and the people don't have to be hungry or cold. Some of the houses I visited today are still leaking. In a while, the children's yamen runners will find two people to repair them."
Tong Yabo also saw it today. Some people's houses were not repaired, nor did they say they were leaked. They just did not come out of the chimney when cooking, but came out of the roof. The mud should have cracks.
Looking at the snow outside, it was not heavy. Tong Yabos thought he could repair it, so he said to County Magistrate Jia: "Young will go immediately, come back and eat again. You can use it slowly, sir."
After saying that, when Tong Yabosho was about to call two people over casually, he suddenly thought of something and specifically ordered the people whom Magistrate Jia had "buyed" and he had four of them.
Just as he was about to leave, County Magistrate Jia suddenly said, "I think this kind of thing is better for other yamen runners, so it is better to change people."
When Magistrate Jia spoke, he pointed at the person who had not been bribed by him and said in his heart that the person he had bought was really excluded. He had to go when he had a living, and the Zhang family gave him little things.
The Tong Yabos naturally would not refute. He called the person ordered by the County Magistrate Jia and turned around. County Magistrate Jia smiled, grabbed a large piece of meat, and chewed it hard in his mouth.
When Magistrate Jia saw the incident about Han Wangzhu, he soon reached Zhang Xiaobao. Listening to what the visitor said, the two of them actually wrote in pens and didn't know the specific content. Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said:
"Okay, I can't wait any more. I'll cause trouble for me during the Chinese New Year. Since that's the case, I'll help them. All the people in the village should be more prepared. Well, I'll send someone to the villages of the Han family and Yuan family to monitor them. That's it, wait for them to take action."
"Xiaobao, why don't you deal with County Magistrate Jia before they even took action? It's better to start." Wang Juan listened from the side, thinking that County Magistrate Jia was really too good at being a human being, and he had to choose this time.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head slightly, "Now, I can only make a big one and drive him away directly. But in that case, the people of Sanshui County will also not be able to spend the New Year. Wait, it is not easy for everyone. After the New Year, we should be happier and lively."
When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he suddenly said happily again, "I know how to let the guys have a good New Year."
