Chapter 130: Little red flag shaking in the wind

Zhang Xiaobao was waiting for this sentence. Seeing that Li Xun was so angry, he comforted him: "Young Master Li doesn't have to be angry. It's not worth it to be like this kind of person. The man Cheng County Magistrate is also a little greedy, but he remembers the people and our family is willing to give some money.

When the people of Sanshui County are better and prosperous, the docks can make more money, and my family will have more money. If you spend a portion of the money to improve the lives of the people, it will become more prosperous. This is called a virtuous cycle.

But Jia Shan didn't think so at all. My father was going to see how he was. If he was good and good to the people, then give him some money and find a way to get him some political achievements and get him promoted.

You can't even guess how he did it. Before he took office, he ran to the dock to calculate how much money he could make in a year. He was discovered by the county magistrate and took office the next day. So many people went to greet him and waited for him to treat him well. As a result, he was thinking about Changping's position there for a while, and then he took care of Han's family and Yuan's money.

Well, I asked for it twice, 13,000 guan at a time. Is this just the New Year? County Magistrate Cheng would give things to the people during the New Year, and he was still waiting for the rewards from above. After all, it was the whole world that was welcomed by the people. He dared not not give it away. He bought some things from my house and spent some money.

Now he was unwilling to do so. The money he had just asked for was gone, and he couldn't help but start to attack my family. My father knew it, and he thought he wouldn't have to stop for two days after the New Year? But he was thirty now, and he wanted to do it at this time. Oh, it was really difficult."

Zhang Xiaobao weakened some things involving his family's money-making and strengthened the actions of County Magistrate Jia. If he had said this by an adult, Li Xun might think about it, but what he said from Zhang Xiaobao would not be fake.

Li Xun was persuaded by Zhang Xiaobao. Not only did he not relieve his anger, but he became even more angry. He clenched his fists there and said, "Damn Jia Shan, he is so greedy. This time some county magistrates were kissed by uncles. How dare he do this?"

"Maybe he won't come here today. What if it was intentional, but we'd better be careful." Zhang Xiaobao said good things to Jia Shan at this time. The more he said this, the more angry Li Xun became.

"If he doesn't come, I will go to him and ask him what he did in Sanshui County, where did the money come from? It's 26,000 guan. It's more than my uncle. I'm still thinking about doing some business with others to make money, so he just asked for it. Don't persuade me, this matter has been decided."

The more Li Xun thought about it, the more he became, the more angry he felt. Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao was about to speak, he waved his hand there and refused to let Zhang Xiaobao say it. Zhang Xiaobao was naturally happy. Now, there is no need to put a trap on his own, which is easy to save trouble.

"Let's talk about him for now, see what else is missing there. Oh, do you have to use silver to make chopsticks for dinner? It is said that you can see if it is poisonous." Zhang Xiaobao said something else.

"What's the money, bamboo, we're going to do business together to make money. Your family is counting on me to help you with the problem, which will poison me? Unless you're tired of living, take a cucumber and dip it into sauce and taste it. The cucumbers on my farm have not yet come down."

After being interrupted by Zhang Xiaobao, Li Xun finally stopped thinking about that matter, but remembered it in his heart.

At the junction of Sanshui County and Huayuan County, four people, including the magistrate Wen County, Jia County Magistrate Han, and Yuan Yilang, stood there, with three hundred people behind them, some wearing yamen runners' clothes, and some wearing other things. Everyone was holding sticks and knives in their hands.

The four of them were still waiting. They waited for Jia County Magistrate Jia's son Jia Weiran to arrive. They came out yesterday. For some reason, they have not arrived yet.

"Mr. Jia, is something wrong with Weiran? Why not wait for him now, otherwise you will not be able to get to the place before noon." Dr. Han said anxiously. He was afraid that the yamen runners in Sanshui County would find something, and that they would really arrive at Zhangjiazhuang and encounter them with the yamen runners, and they would not be able to do anything.

"It shouldn't be a problem. Maybe I found a place to stay yesterday and overslept, so wait." County Magistrate Jia was more anxious than anyone else. That was his son. Something really happened, but what should I do?

Seeing that he said this, the other three people left, and they could only wait patiently. When someone could not wait, Jia Weiran finally arrived on a horse, but his face was not very good-looking. Before anyone could ask, he said:

"Dad, when the boy came here yesterday, the horses were no longer available. The horses they gave him were not allowed to run far away. Later, they met a caravan, and ate something and bought another horse. I don't know which food was bad. I had to stop along the way from time to time, and later I found someone to live in, but now I'm still weak."

"You, you can eat something bad, don't care about those things for now, have you brought them?" County Magistrate Jia saw that his son came over. Although he was in a bad state, as long as nothing big happened, he was worried about his son's things now.

"I brought it to you, Dad." Seeing that his father did not scold him, Jia Weiran took out an envelope from his arms and wanted to hand it over.

County Magistrate Jia winked, "You hold it, don't lose it. You have tried so much to get the things and remember you for your merit."

"Okay." Jia Weiran remembered that when he got it, he could take it out and convict the Zhang and Wang families.

As soon as the people arrived, the brigade of people headed towards Zhangjiazhuangzi. Along the way, the 300 people who followed were all excited. They had already discussed it privately. When they were waiting there, they would put them in their arms when they saw good things. I thought that County Magistrate Lai Wen would not care about that little thing. If they really encountered valuable things, they would make a profit.

County Magistrate Wen and others were also looking forward to it. The team's speed could not help but speed up. After doing this, they could enjoy their happiness.

After walking out for a while, everyone felt tired, so they looked at the place. Jia Weiran had already found out about it, looked at the sky, and said, "Let's walk for another half an hour, before noon, we will arrive, and the good things are waiting for you to get."

After he said this, there were dozens of people who were not yamen runners who wanted to rest and decided not to rest. They arrived at the place early and got things early. With this motivation, the team's speed was even faster.

Here in Zhangjiazhuang, some people have been assigned to guard the yamen runners, and the others have been hidden. The places where people hide are the straw stacks. The yamen runners have the strength to fight and they usually need to exercise when they are gangsters, and they have to work hard as yamen runners. In a short while, the small hay stacks are ready.

Half of the yamen runners hid it in it, and there were also a hundred people brought by Li Xun. The rest were easy to deal with. If there were wooden boards, they would stand up the boards, connect them together, and hide behind the boards. Anyway, the houses were also being built here, so people would not doubt it.

Everything is ready, it depends on whether anyone is coming over there. If you don’t come today, just wait tomorrow. Li Xun decided to wait until the fifteenth. He has the time and patience, and he doesn’t have to hide. He can play with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to win over the relationship.

At four o'clock, before others came, the old man in the water clouds came first, crossing the small bridge from the water clouds and seeing the building of a house here, the old man walked in front, looking while walking, and when he arrived at the place, he suddenly saw Li Xun.

He was stunned immediately. He didn't know why this emperor's nephew didn't go back during the New Year. When he ran here, Li Xun also saw the old man and quickly stepped forward a few steps, greeted him, "Why is Lord Shangshu here? Are you not celebrating the New Year in the capital?"

"Hasn't my little Hou been here too? Did you run out? The prince should blame me." The old man looked at Li Xun's appearance and thought of the child who sneaked away by himself. Now he has caused trouble for Zhangjiazhuangzi.

"My father knows I'm here. Sir, you don't really plan to celebrate the New Year here, right?" Li Xun was confident, so he was not afraid of being scolded by his father.

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm going to celebrate the New Year here this year. I don't want to go back to the capital. There are too many people, so I can't hold on. The water here is not frozen in winter, and there are also foods that are not inferior to the restaurants in Beijing. The scenery is good and maintenance are good. Why do you think about this? Also, what are you doing here now?"

"Oh, Lord Shangshu should pay more attention to your health. Grandpa is still counting on you. I have a village here. It's the Chinese New Year and I'll have fun with the people. The Zhang family and the Wang family are planning to build a few houses here, and then watch the night together, eat and drink together, and lively.

Lord Shangshu is planning to stay in Shuiyunjian? Why not go here? I heard from the Zhang family that it is because the adults are here, so that the guy can go back and forth to greet their family members during the New Year, so I chose this place specifically, otherwise the master can also install it."

Li Xun explained to the old man that he looked at the construction situation here and felt very satisfied. The Zhang family is really good at doing things. Not only can he allow someone to serve him during the New Year between the water and clouds, but also let those serving people know that the master's family doesn't care about them.

Looking back at Shuiyunjian, the old man thought for a while and said, "It's better to be in Shuiyunjian. There are too many people in his family. I have to disturb others when I come here and wait for the thirty-year-old to burn firecrackers. Oh, when setting off firecrackers, let's come out and take a look."

"That's good, sir, don't rush to leave later. Your guards are also hiding behind the wooden board. There is something fun." Li Xun happened to see the alert yamen run over there, holding a small red flag in his hand, waving it vigorously. Knowing that the person who was waiting for was coming, he quickly asked the Secretary to hide the person.

The old man didn't know what happened, but he still became childish and asked the guards to hide. He thought no one here would hurt him. When the guards turned behind the board, they were shocked. There were so many people, hundreds of people had yamen runners and the guards of Xiao Hou. Well, now they were safe.
