Chapter Eleven: The Greedy Man
In the reception hall of the Qinghe County government office, Zhu Biao and the others waited for more than half an hour before Magistrate Lu arrived late with a heavy belly.
Lu Zhiyuan entered the living room, sat on the main seat with a golden sword, glanced at Zhu Biao and the others, and said, "Are you the only one from Zhujiazhuang?"
"Why did Mr. Lu ask questions knowingly?" Zhu Biao heard this and took a sip of tea without even raising his eyelids before replying casually.
Lu Zhiyuan choked, shook his sleeves fiercely, and said: "You are really young and frivolous. This county thinks you are only about 20 years old, but you have a great reputation in Shandong, but I don't know how true or false it is."
.”
As soon as Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, Du Bo, who had been impatient for a long time after listening to his words, started to slap the case and said angrily: "You are a dog official, I don't know how much people's fat you have absorbed, and you are so fat and fat, how dare you say such arrogant words?
You are mocking my young master, but you are not trying to get him beaten."
When Lu Zhiyuan heard this, his teeth itched with anger. He pointed at Du Bo with his fat right hand tremblingly, and shouted at the yamen servant outside the door: "Come here, let this county catch this arrogant person."
The yamen servant outside the door was about to rush into the hall after hearing this, but Mr. Qian at the door quickly stopped him and scolded a group of yamen servants: "What are you doing, are you looking for death? The person sitting inside is Mr. Zhu San from Dulonggang, you don't want to die.
.”
After hearing this, a group of government officials stopped and after a moment, they bowed their hands towards the hall and dispersed in a rush.
They are all locals, so how can they not know what Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang is like. These government servants who often do bad things on weekdays are respectful and fearful of Dulonggang, so they were asked to go in and get Zhu Sangongzi
, I wouldn’t even dare to give them ten courages.
If you offend the county magistrate, the most you can do is get a slap in the face, or if you don't want to stop working in the county government; if you offend Zhujiazhuang, it will be fatal.
Master Qian turned around, winked at County Magistrate Lu who was sitting on the wax, bowed and said, "Master, let's discuss the matter first. Master Zhu is the esteemed person of the county, and Master Zhu is also a well-known figure, so why bother to make a fuss?"
It will make everyone look bad."
When Master Qian reminded County Magistrate Lu, he suddenly woke up and realized that the other party was not an ordinary citizen and could be manipulated at will.
After taking a look at Zhu Biao, who was still calm and sipping tea gently, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but be proud of him as the respected person in the county, so he had to remain silent and drink tea by himself.
Zhu Biao glanced at Magistrate Lu, but in his heart he lowered his status several notches. He originally thought that this guy could be considered a figure by being able to curry favor with Yang Jian and sit in the position of Magistrate of Qinghe County, but he didn't.
To think that he was so out of control that he was even surpassed by Master Qian.
Zhu Biao did not want to continue the stalemate. He stood up, shook his sleeves and robe, and said bluntly: "Lord County Lu, I came here today to give you a fortune, but I never thought that Lord Lu would not
Welcome Zhu, since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave.”
"I wish you, sir, to be patient. I wish you, sir, to be patient."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lu looked happy. Seeing Zhu Biao about to walk out, he quickly stood up and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Why should Mr. Zhu take it seriously? I wonder where the wealth that Mr. Zhu talks about is?"
Zhu Biao looked at Magistrate Lu with a half-smile but said, "Zhu used 20,000 yuan to ask Magistrate Lu for a prisoner in the county government prison. I wonder if this is considered rich?"
Magistrate Lu was not really a worthless idiot. Hearing Zhu Biao's words, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "What kind of prisoner is worth twenty thousand yuan? Does Mr. Zhu want that?"
The criminal Wu Song from Yanggu County?"
"Oh, criminal?"
Zhu Biao glanced at the other party and asked directly: "Lord County Lu said that Wu Song is a criminal, but I don't know what crime he committed?"
"Gather a crowd to fight with weapons and beat up officials." Magistrate Lu said seriously.
"Lord County Lu, as far as I know the only person arrested last night was Wu Song, how could he gather a crowd? Wu Song was originally the capital of Yanggu County, and the person who arrested him was not wearing official uniform, so why did he beat the official?"
Zhu Biao chuckled and said: "If we really talk about it, it's not that people from Qinghe County gathered to fight with weapons and beat up officials. The people last night didn't wear official uniforms, but they sent people to the county jail. Mr. County Lu,
Is this how Qinghe County handles cases?”
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lu hesitated for a long time and was speechless. This matter was simply made out of nothing and could not withstand scrutiny. In the end, he just stared at Zhu Biao and said coldly: "Sister Zhu, don't think so."
You have a certain reputation in Shandong, so you want to take care of everything. You need to know that there are some people you cannot afford to offend."
"Oh, Yang Jian?"
Zhu Biao said rudely: "Lord County Lu, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Only a fool like you would regard Yang Jian as his backer."
Magistrate Lu's expression froze when he heard this. He only felt that this man was so arrogant and insulting him. He didn't even take his godfather seriously. Just when he was about to have an attack, he heard Zhu Biao speak again.
"Although Yang Jian, Cai Jing and his son, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Zhu Meng are classified as the "six thieves", they are also divided into high and low. Cai Jing and Cai You, the father is the prime minister, the son is a bachelor, and they control the government;
Guanyi was a member of the Privy Council with the same knowledge, and had many troops outside. Yang Jian, Gao Qiu, Zhu Ming and others were just relying on the favor of the officials. They were in high positions but did not have much real power. If they fell out of favor, they would die without a burial place.
.And among these three people, Yang Jian is already old and frail. How long does Mr. Lu think he can live?"
Zhu Biao said meaningfully, not to scare Magistrate Lu. If he remembered correctly, the old thief Yang Jian died in Xuanhe three years ago, and indeed he only lived in a few years.
"Lord County Lu, I guess you are not the only one who has Yang Jian's godson, right?"
Zhu Biao added another sentence quietly, but it became the most fatal arrow, piercing Lu Zhiyuan's heart.
Although this guy is greedy and arrogant, he is well versed in the art of following people's influence. After all, he is a Jinshi. If not that everyone else looked down on him, he would not have recognized Yang Jian as his godfather.
"Fifty thousand guan, Wu Song will give it to you." After a while, Lu Zhiyuan exhaled with a heavy face and gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Du Bo and Shi Xiu's expressions suddenly changed and they were about to explode. Even Master Qian felt his head buzzing and looked at Magistrate Lu in disbelief.
Zhu Biao waved his hand, signaling to Du Bo and Shi Xiu to calm down and sneered at Lu Zhiyuan: "Lord County Lu is really greedy. Do you think you are worth the price?"
"value."
Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Lu has roughly guessed the relationship between Mr. Zhu and the Wu brothers in Yanggu County; from now on, this Qinghe County will be the same as that Yanggu County, and they will both be your territory."
"Hahaha, County Lord Lu is joking. I wish you are a good citizen, and I wish that our village is also a place to accumulate good deeds. We don't need territory. County Lord, please don't make a mistake."
Zhu Biao laughed several times, his face changed, he looked at Magistrate Lu coldly, and said: "I only have 20,000 yuan, which will be sent to the county government later. If you accept it, I will still be your Qinghe County."
Order; if you want 50,000 guan, then I will pay 100,000 guan and send the money to Tokyo."
"Lord County Lu, you need to know that money can lead to the gods and kill people."
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without waiting for Magistrate Lu's reaction. When he walked to Master Qian, he said lightly.
"Master Qian, I need to see Wu Song at the city gate in an hour. Do you know what to do?"
Master Qian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and nodded, saying: "Don't worry, Third Young Master, Qian will save it."
