Chapter 128: Official Protector Talisman

"Soldiers are rude and offended many times just now, and I hope that the miser will be responsible for it."

The fifth reunion invited Ren Guang to his residence, but when he was on the light, he saw that Ren Boqing was over 40 years old, with a long beard and a loyal face. Although he was a small township chief, he was different from the dirty township officials he had seen along the way. He kept his clothes clear and clean, and was cautious and polite after entering the house.

Ren Guang said, "It is because the slaughter is not aware of the flexibility, and he is spreading the rules of food. He is spreading horses and horses, and he can eat one and a half buckets of beans every day. The fifth master's horse is a horse, and it is really not necessary to eat only the water grass."

Wu Lun shook his head: "That is the rule in the age of wealth. I saw that there was a drought on the front line on the way. We are not going to travel a hundred miles a day, and the horsepower is not much. How can we make dogs eat people without knowing how to check? That one and a half bulls of millet and beans save it, and it is the food for several people."

What's more, what Yueqi Camp asked for was dozens of stones of millet and so on. These guys were just defrauding the benefits in the name of the fifth relationship.

Ren Guang couldn't help but feel a good impression of the little doctor in front of him and bowed again: "I have never seen an angel like a doctor who is kind and kind."

The fifth eunuch said: "It's really not to be hiding it. This is my first time to be sent to an envoy. I don't know what others are like. Come and listen?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ren Guang whispered: "I won't hide it from the doctor. I have been a village official for many years and have seen any kind of messenger."

"During the founding period, the 'Taiyi Envoy' and 'Five Emperor Envoys' came, and rushed to various places to replace the Han seal with a new seal. But if the bribes given by local officials were not enough, the envoys would report that the officials were unwilling to change, which caused the court to arrest and imprisonment, and even the half-seal of the minor officials would not let go of the seal."

"Later, those who frequently traveled to and from the places were the five generals who led them to ride in the Qianwen cart, drive six horses, carry the hair of a bird, and wear great clothes. They were in order to solicit auspiciousness in various places, practice customs, and collect chants to respond to the emperor's ascendance. If local officials cannot give auspiciousness, or report disasters, they will be punished."

The Fifth Reun was heard in the court that when Emperor Ping and Wang Mang first ascended the throne, they praised the world. All counties praised merits, but Langya and Guangping were not the same. Langya Dayin was imprisoned, while Guangping's prime minister Ban Zhi escaped because he was the younger brother of Ban Jieyu in the Han Dynasty and was a child with Wang Mang.

"But after a few years, when Tianfeng arrived, the court suddenly stopped offering auspicious places. Some officials were not informed and did not understand why. When they met an envoy who came, they continued to serve talismans and wanted to please them, but they were arrested by Wuweisiming."

In the past, I was guilty of not reporting the auspiciousness, but now I am guilty of reporting the auspiciousness in private, and the orders are changed every day. Who should I ask for reason? Anyway, these unlucky people have all been rewarded with achievements by Chen Chong.

With these three tricks, the reputation of the imperial envoy became completely bad, but in recent years, "angels" have been dispatched more and more frequently. They either add generals and lieutenants to local counties and county magistrates, or thoroughly investigate corruption and rebellion in various places. As a result, they do not do the work and take the opportunity to make money.

Ren Guangdao: "In my small pavilion in Xixiang, sometimes ten batches of envoys can come to a month. In recent years, the place has not been peaceful. The envoys have brought more and more guards, often one or two hundred. There is no existing supply of food in the warehouse, and there are not enough horses to drive the carriages and horses. Those followers do not want to walk, so they take them from the people and requisition the carriages and horses on the road. In the end, they don't even have a slag of money, claiming that this is the honor of the supplier. What's more, they even force the wife and daughter of the minor official to sleep with them."

The fifth reunion understood: "No wonder, on the way, local officials saw us swaying across the market, as if they were tigers and wolves."

"Ren Sefu is very versatile. Even if I don't come forward, Boqing can resolve the dispute."

Ren Guang smiled bitterly: "If you break your arms, you will be a good doctor. In the past, I used to resist unreasonable fate like a husband, but I was beaten."

He rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms, with faint traces on it, which fell a long time ago.

"The little town officials have nowhere to seek justice after being wronged, so they can only be in vain."

Fortunately, his family is well-off, and when he encounters such a situation, he simply loses money and avoids disaster. In this world, if the grassroots officials want to survive, they also need family background and wisdom. They either do not suffer from this grievance, kill the envoy, burn the house, and go up the mountain to get weeds.

The fifth reun sighed and said, "It's not easy, I can't control other messengers, but I'll try my best to order these soldiers from the Yueqi camp."

"He is a doctor of wise."

After chatting for a while, Di Wulun heard that Ren Guang was walking around Nanyang when he was in his prime. When he was very familiar with the county, he asked him: "Do you dare to ask Boqing, does the front county have a 'official talisman'?"

Ren Guang was stunned: "What is the official talisman?"

The fifth ethics says: "There was a proverb in the previous dynasty that he would rather bear two thousand stones than the rich. There are great tyrants who are afraid of by county officials in each county. Do not dare to offend him? I wonder if the front team has it?"

This talisman of the talisman of the fifth reunion is also a phenomenon that exists. They are all the most powerful and extremely noble families of famous officials. Take his hometown Liewei as an example. There must be some talismans on the talisman of the Qiongcheng Hou Mansion and Xiaoxiang Hou Mansion. Now, after the fifth reunion is integrated, it has become a second-rate, and is backed by the county chief Zhang Zhan, which is also considered a family that cannot be misled.

As for the northern land he had been to, the Fu family of Yiyang in Niyang, the Gan family of Yuzhi in Yicheng, and the Zhang family of the Fuping in Tewu, the Zhang family of the Guardian talisman must have names and surnames on the official talisman.

After the fifth reunion explained, Ren Guang hesitated a little. The fifth reunion smiled and said, "I am not the deputy governor of the state governor, nor the county magistrate. I can't afford to offend the rich. I just chatted after drinking and asked curiously. If I meet a real hero, I even want to make friends with one or two, Boqing said it's okay."

Ren Guang then said: "The front team cannot compare with Guanzhong. There are no outstanding gentry from generation to generation. There are many tyrants in the court, but there are also many local tyrants."

He stretched out a finger: "I have to say that the rich people who are afraid to provoke the county officials, in fact, are only one household."

Ren Guangdao: "It was the Li family in Wancheng who started his business for generations. Nanyang produced iron. After the decline of Wankong family, Li family replaced it and became Daye, Nanyang. Today, many children and guests still served as iron officials for the court, accumulating as much as ten thousand wealth. They traveled to the capital in groups of cars and horses, winning the reputation of the leisure gentleman who gave alms."

Not only that, Li also served as an official in the court, and the head of the family served as the "Zongqing Master" under the national master, and was responsible for the royal family, with the same rank and fortune as the fifth family, the Taizhong Dafu.

This is the first strongman in the front team, relying on the wealth accumulated over generations and taking the middle and upper-level route.

The fifth relationship was still unsatisfied, so he asked about the inferior second-rate tyrants. The county could control them as long as they were willing, but the county did not dare to offend them.

There were so many more. Ren Guang came one by one, a total of more than a dozen families, such as Xinye Yin family, Deng family, and Huyang Fan family. There is also a Caiyang native who has a poor family background but has emerged with his personal courage and charm. He is also famous in the county. There are often young knights who are not engaged in childbirth in the countryside who are yelling to go and join.

But the fifth reunion was a little tired after hearing it, that's it?

Ren Guang said that the Xinye Yin clan was a big landlord with seven or eight hundred hectares of land, and had more than a thousand servants and servants. He was considered to be "compared to the kings" in power; the Deng clan ancestors were governors and commanders, and the population was prosperous; Liu Bosheng was known as the heroes of the front team... They were indeed local powerful factions, but if they were placed in Guanzhong, they would be small.

No matter how rich and noble the Li family in Wancheng was, it was still not as good as the Wang family of Qiongcheng Hou; the land of the Yin family was only attached to and wealthy, and could not be compared with Zhang Chun of Tewu County; the Deng family's family was not worthy of raising their feet for the Ma family in Maoling; and then Liu Bosheng sounded like a low-end version of Guanzhong hero Yuanshe.

Rich businessmen, high-ranking officials, landlords, heroes, and the powerful men in each county are basically these types, each occupying an ecological niche. When the powerful men in different prefectures and counties are compared horizontally, there is no one who is better than the other. The powerful men are still in the early stages, and no one can cross states or even counties anyway. Everyone stands on the same starting line, waiting for gunfire to sound, and make their own choices when the troubled times come.

After that, the brothers went up the mountain, relying on their own abilities, who could jump up and who was soaring, depends on their personal abilities and current luck, and the gap will quickly widen in just a few years.

After a chat at night, Ren Guang said goodbye, and Di Wu Lun wrote down his words one by one. This trip was not in vain.

Unexpectedly, whoever said that would arrive. The next morning, before Di Wulun and the others had time to rush to Wancheng, a "tour guide" came to him.

A tall and slender man with a large figure, carrying a group of servants, carrying meat, wine and gifts, reported to his house outside the premises: "Li Tong, a native of Wan, heard that Knubo was passing here, come to visit him!"

...

Li Tong was the legitimate son of Li, who was said last night by Ren Guang. His family was indeed well-informed. Before the fifth reunion and the others arrived in Wancheng, they came to the door on their own initiative.

Li Tong was only over 20 years old, and his initial impression of the fifth reunion was that he was extremely tall, at least eight and a half feet, equivalent to 1.9 meters in later generations. Such an expert was rare in the world. When he entered the door, he even had to put his head slightly under his head.

However, Li Tong did not let the short-sized Wulun's neck be sore and embarrassed, but he was very tactful and bowed: "My father was a subordinate of the national teacher in the court. He often mentioned to Tong the heroic figure of the young man, and now he was despised. He should fulfill his friendship with the host. He asked you to go to the house for a banquet, but he was afraid of delaying the doctor's mission, so he took the meat and wine to wash away the doctor's dust."

Speaking of this, I remembered that when he went to the National Master's Mansion twice, he did see an official as tall as Li Tong.

Li Tong moved out of his house because of Liu Xin's subordinates, and told the fifth reunion that we are our own people, although... the national teacher Liu Xin is now in a state of disgrace.

Not to mention the fact that the Li family is a big business, and the dozen second-rate tyrants in the front team don’t have time to contact each other one, but Li can get in touch with each other first.

Wu Lun then smiled and helped Li Tong up: "The national master treats me like my nephews. We don't need a doctor. Bo Jun calls me Shengfen, just call me the name. My name is Bo Yu, I don't know what you call me?"

Li Tong: "The word Tong is 'dimensional'."

Not to mention anything else, just this word will make the fifth reunion amuse you.

Dimension? It’s so wonderful. I just don’t know if it’s the three-sting ape or the two-sing ape?
