Chapter 21 Zhou Papi (4)

"In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Zhou Dafu sold 50 acres of paddy fields and 50 acres of dry land to He Ming, making 1,000 taels of silver. The money and goods were cleared."

This is the document written by Zhou Papi before he left.

He Xuan bounced the paper and threw it to He Ming: "I will leave this hundred acres of land to you to put it away."

He’s father, He Ming, He Brother, He Jin, and He Xiaomei, He Qi, are still stunned and can’t believe everything they see.

In their eyes, who is Zhou Papi? He is the number one capable person in Zhuqiao Village and a person who covers the sky with his hands in the village.

However, such a person was forcibly let go of He Xuan and honestly gave him one hundred acres of land.

This is one hundred acres of land!

The He family has been working hard to save eight acres of land for so many years.

One hundred acres of land, one acre of paddy fields is about twelve taels of silver, and one acre of dry land is about six taels to eight taels. On average, the price of this hundred acres of land is about 1,000 taels of silver.

For the poor He family, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

He Ming still felt a little dizzy when he looked at this document.

He Jin suddenly pinched himself: "I must be dreaming."

He Qi's eyes also flashed with stars: "Second brother, you are so awesome."

"Of course I'm amazing." He Xuan stroked He Qi's head and laughed.

"No, Zhou Papi, I heard that he has a very tough relationship in the county government, so he would not have given up like this." He's father He Ming was older after all, and had experienced more, and he was not blinded by the victory in front of him.

"What kind of tricks can he play in my palm? Don't forget that I am a real seventh-rank general in the court, the general flag." He Xuan sneered.

After hearing what He Xuan said, He Ming, He Jin and others were estimating it.

It seems that it is indeed a seventh-rank military officer in the court who is even more powerful.

In comparison, a rich man in the countryside is really nothing.

He Xuan comforted He Ming, He Jin and He Qi, and thought about it. If Zhou Papi really had a trick, then there was only one way - the county government. It is said that he had a deep relationship with a certain official in the county government. But to put it bluntly, he was just an official.

He Xuan decided to go to Wuxian County Government in person.

...

The Wuxian County Government covers an area of ​​several acres.

There are 3 doors and 5 rooms wide in the lobby. All the wooden components are painted with flowers and birds, with different postures and lifelike life. A wooden couplet is embedded on the pillar: "Bullying others is like bullying the sky and not deceive yourself; betraying the people, how can you bear to bear the country?" A large plaque with golden characters "Wuxian Zhengtang" is hung in the middle of the lobby. Under the plaque is the warm room of the county trial case. A sea water is placed on the front of the pavilion, and a golden plaque with "Hanging high in the mirror" is hung on the top. A three-foot magic table is placed on the wooden platform in the warm room. Four treasures of the study and quiver are placed on the table, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table. The left is the archer stand and the right is the black folding fan. Two bluestones are laid on the left, the left is the plaintiff's dock, and the right is the defendant's dock.

There are conference halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows on the back of the lobby, which are Yasuofang. When you pass the Yasuofang, you will reach Chongguang Door. The golden plaque "Tianli and the Kingdom of Laws and Human Relations" is hung on the door. The corridor-style corridor surrounds the two sides of the room, and the Chongguang Door has a double eaves and double corridors on both sides. The front is a piano room with a width of 5 rooms. There are rooms on both sides of the backyard of the hall, and there are corridors under the front and back eaves, and the front is a welcome room. Once you go out of the welcome room, you will enter the courtyard. There are three halls on the front and the left and right are corridors.

He Xuan walked to the county government office.

A yamen runner immediately shouted, "Who are you? This is a county government, you can't trespass."

He Xuan threw out the waist card directly: "See it clearly by yourself."

The county yamen runners, when they saw the ebony waist sign engraved with the word "General Flag", couldn't help but change their expression.

The chief flag is a formal seventh-rank military general in the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emphasis on culture and military officials was not as good as the county magistrate of the seventh-rank civil servants, but it should not be too simple to kill a small yamen runner like them.

The pair of vicious and vicious yamen runners, who were ordinary people, had a flattering smile on their faces: "It turns out that they are Lord Zongqi. I will go inside and tell me immediately. Please wait."

"Okay." He Xuan nodded.

After a while, the yamen runs out: "The magistrate asks the Chief Banner to come in, please ask the Chief Banner to follow the youngest and lead the way."

Then the yamen runner took him into the back of the yamen runner and rushed to a study room in the back hall.

Here, a thin and elegant middle-aged man wearing a scholar's robe and wearing a few long strands of beards was reading a book.

After seeing He Xuan, he was stunned, stood up and smiled: "In the magistrate of Xiawu County, Zhang Xingzhou, I wonder which general flag you are? It seems that he is not like the general flag of the nearby garrison, and there are some faces."

"The following is the general flag below Xingzhou Prefecture, Xuanfu Town, with the surname He's name Xuan." He Xuan actually wanted to say: "That's because you have little knowledge." He made a fuss and earned some negative emotions.

But I thought that this time I asked someone to do something. It would be bad to argue with others like this. Alas, I haven’t even been able to argue with others well when I returned to the original owner’s hometown recently. If I return to Qingshandun, I must be very happy.

"It turned out to be the general flag under the Xingzhou Prefecture of Xuanfu Town. No wonder I don't know it. Wait!" Zhang Xingzhou County Magistrate Zhang frowned and said, "I saw a war report not long ago that there was a soldier under the Xingzhou Prefecture of Xuanfu Town. He killed twelve Tartars and was promoted to the general flag because of his merits. The name he called was He Xuan, and it wouldn't be you."

Nowadays, most magistrates are just waiting to die, and they are corruption without any trouble.

However, there are also a very small number of officials who are very clear about it.

Like Zhang Xingzhou, he is a very sober and ambitious official.

Although he is just an ordinary magistrate, he has the overall vision.

He had long seen that the Ming Dynasty's confidant trouble was the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, and perhaps the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, he was always paying attention to the news about the border. He happened to have a good friend from his childhood who worked as a Qianhu, namely Zhang Shizhong and Zhang Qianhu. So he let Zhang Qianhu go to inquire about the news about the border war.

Not long ago, Zhang Shizhong sent a letter saying that a tiger general named He Xuan had produced a group of people under his command, and that he killed twelve Tartars in one formation, which was simply amazing.

Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Magistrate Zhang finally remembered this name in his heart. He thought that the Ming Dynasty was missing a tiger general like He Xuan.

Therefore, when he heard He Xuan report to his house, he couldn't help but be excited for a while.

"No, it's me." He Xuan nodded.

Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Magistrate Zhang were even more excited: "It's you, it's you. One person killed twelve Tartars and two Bai Zhuyala soldiers, which made great contributions. Okay, okay, okay! What I admire most is the general who can kill Tartars. You and I are not polite, just how good are the brothers."

In terms of grade, Zhang Xingzhou, a seventh-rank civil servant, has a higher official position than He Xuan, a seventh-rank military general. He was so excited that He Xuan had no choice but to nod to respond.

"Brother He, if you have anything to do, tell me, " Zhang Xingzhou said.

He Xuan also told me what happened at home, and then Zhou Bapi came to the door to extort, and said that he had a backlash: "After all, this is in the local area, not in the army, and I am not easy to use some of my methods. I heard that Zhou Dafu has some connections in the county government."

Zhang Xingzhou said with a big bag: "This is a small matter. You are an officer in the army and you don't have much effort at the local area. But I am the county magistrate, and I am the one who is in charge of this hundred miles. If Zhou Dafu dares to make trouble in the yamen, I promise that Zhou Dafu will be ruined to death. You can rest assured."

"When you ask your family to have a meal together. If they have any trouble after you leave, you can come to me directly."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Zhang." He Xuan said.

Zhang Xingzhou shouted, "Come here, prepare wine and food, and let me and I have a good drink."
