Ma Hanshan quietly sent Huang Chongba out of the mountain. No one except A Niu and Wan Yuan Li Ergou knew that Huang Chongba had come and left.
When they arrived at Wanheji, Ma Hanshan asked Huang Chongba to write a letter and gave him a token. Then he found Li Ergou and asked Li Ergou to go to Huang Chongba's home overnight to quietly pick up his family.
"Bastard, it's not convenient for me to drink with you here. Take these ten taels of silver to Xiao Xinghua's place to drink. You must get drunk tonight. Don't be reluctant to part with the silver, because you have been drinking at Xiao Xinghua since this afternoon.
There are flowers there..." After that, Ma Hanshan asked A Niu to drive the carriage to Xiao Xinghua, the only secret prostitute in Wanheji. He paid out ten taels of silver and asked Huang Chongba to spend the night at Xiao Xinghua's house.
Looking at the carriage going away, Huang Chongba couldn't help but admire Ma Hanshan's attentiveness. He even thought of an excuse for him to go back and deal with Ge Guangpei. He weighed the money in his hand and felt it was heavy. This "new owner" is not bad.
If you don't work, you'll be given money.
Who is Ma Hanshan? He has been an undercover agent for a long time. How can he be an undercover agent who sneaks into the club's seat without being careful?
Huang Chongba has been "missing" for a long time. What better excuse is there than being drunk at a woman's house? Ten taels of silver is a lot, not to mention the prostitutes here, even the prostitutes in the county and state.
You can ask them to say something to protect Huang Chongba.
Of course, this was arranged by Ma Hanshan because he was worried that Ge Guangpei would track down Huang Chongba. Maybe Ge County Lieutenant didn't care where Huang Chongba went. Even if he asked, Huang Chongba could just say that he went into the mountain to monitor Wagang Village again.
This kind of thing cannot be investigated.
…
Ge Guangpei really has no time or mood to find Huang Chongba now, because his and Tang Guangxiong's "get rich" plan failed.
Not only did his plan to make a fortune fail, but he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Suishui Shuangguang had planned well, and was going to blackmail Wagangzhai for a lot of money on issues such as taxes and household registration. Who would have thought that when they found Wan Yuanwai, they asked them if they had done their duty and notified Wagangzhai of applying for household registration and registration.
When paying taxes and other obligations, Wan Yuanwai told them that Wagang Village had already completed all their obligations, everyone in Wagang Village had a household registration, and Wagang Village had also completed all Yao services and taxes...
They were dumbfounded when they heard Wan Yuanwai's words.
What's going on? It's obvious that Wagangzhai has not completed its taxes and has no household registration. Why does this damn Wan Yuanwai say it was completed long ago?
Tang Guangxiong turned his attention to Ge Guangpei and the Chief Registrar. These things were their business. Didn't they keep saying that nothing was done in Wagonzhai?
"Wan Yuanwai, you are not just a member, you are also the lizheng of Wanhe Township and the chief minister of Wanheji. You have to be responsible when you speak. You said that Wagang Village has fulfilled all its responsibilities and obligations. Do you have any evidence?" Ge Guangpei was a little bit.
I was so angry that I even asked such a stupid question.
Who dares to tell lies about this kind of thing? It can be verified in just half a day.
"Sir Ge, of course we have the vouchers. Please take a look at them. These are the vouchers issued by the relevant six departments in the county to Ben Lizheng." Wan Yuanwai presented a stack of vouchers very respectfully. Not only did he act courteously, but he also showed a smile on his face.
With a smile.
Of course, it was a sarcastic smile.
Although Ge Guangpei is in charge of the county's public security, household registration, military recruitment, etc., it is not done by him personally, nor by his confidants. The specific matters are all handled by the people in the Sixth Fang. In order to
Without leaking the news of this "big plan", Ge Guangpei has not inquired about Wagang Village with the relevant person in charge of Liufang since he inquired about it a month ago.
If nothing can be done, then it won’t be done.
The chief secretary is a centrist, a person who follows the rules and does things according to the rules. Until this moment, he did not know the real purpose of Mr. Tang coming to Wanhe Township. Therefore, although he knew that Wagang Village had paid all the taxes, he still
Tang Guangxiong didn't explain anything, so naturally he wouldn't report this kind of thing to Tang Guangxiong without incident.
Of course, there are naturally people who have good relations with Wan Yuanwai in Liufang. When Wan Yuanwai handles these matters for Wagangzhai, he does it quietly. In other words, he deliberately prevents the "high-level officials" in the county from knowing about these matters.
.
Therefore, Wagangzhai had already completed the taxation and household registration. Everyone in the county knew about it, except Tang Guangxiong and Ge Guangpei.
Shuangguang from Suixian County came to Wanhe excitedly, but he made his own mistake. He was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he didn't even have a place to get angry. How could he not vomit blood?
Where to get angry? Who to get angry at? Although they are adults, but for this most basic business, they do not ask the people below and there is no need to report to them. This is work that takes many years. Can they blame the people below for not telling them?
Snapped!
Ge Guangpei did not accept the voucher handed over by Wan Yuanwai. Instead, he knocked it over with his hand and asked fiercely: "Wan Yuanwai is about to go on annual leave. Why haven't I submitted the summary from Wanhe Township yet?"
The so-called summary is a work report. At the end of each year, each township, li, town, and village must submit one. The main content is of course related to tax collection, population increase or decrease, farming, and so on.
"Sir Ge, it's not the final time to hand in the summary. Can't you just hand it in before and after the winter solstice? Today is the beginning of winter, sir." Wan Yuanwai said calmly while picking up the voucher on the ground.
The winter solstice, although there is still a minor cold and a severe cold before the new year, generally speaking, there is no farm work after the winter solstice. Therefore, the ancients generally regard the winter solstice as the end of the year. Even the most demanding landlords and wealthy people will celebrate this day.
A holiday is given to the long-term workers. Government affairs in many places will not be done after the winter solstice, especially in the north. It is already the winter season. Who is still working?
"You...you actually contradicted Ge..." Ge Guangpei was so angry that he had no place to get angry and was ready to find any reason to get angry.
But Tang Guangxiong coughed lightly and rushed to say: "What Wan Yuanwai said is that there is still time... there is still time. Oh, please step back first. I will tell you if anything happens later."
"Yes, Your Majesty the County Magistrate." Wan Yuanwai left holding a stack of credentials.
Ge Guangpei didn't understand why Tang Guangxiong wanted Wan Yuanwai to leave. There was nothing he could do about it, so wouldn't it even be enough to scold him?
"Brother Guangxiong, why don't you let me scold that old bastard?" Ge Guangpei asked Tang Guangxiong unhappily.
"Guangpei, we're not here to scold people, why waste our energy?" Tang Guangxiong stood up and walked around the room and said, "What do you think of Wan Yuanwai's brain?"
"A little clever." Ge Guangpei said without thinking.
"Well, he is indeed a smart man. A smart man, is it possible that he doesn't know about such a big thing happening in Wagonzhai twenty or thirty miles away?" Tang Guangxiong said, stroking his goatee on his chin.
Ge Guangpei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said, "Yes, he must know, but why didn't he report it to us?"
"He definitely said he didn't know. I guarantee that if you ask now, no one in Wanhe Township will know." Tang Guangxiong said inscrutably.
"County Lord, you mean...?" Ge Guangxiong was born in the army and was considered a literate military officer. Of course, his mind was not as easy as that of Tang Guangxiong, a serious Jinshi.
"Expert, there is an expert behind Wan Yuanwai." Tang Guangxiong paused and said, "Guangpei, we have to find out more about Wagonzhai. The entire Hu army was wiped out. Are they all dead or captured?
How many were captured and how many died? Why is Wagonzhai so powerful?"
"County Lord, what do you know? You just let it out, saying that Wagangzhai was training troops privately with evil intentions, and was provoking trouble and disrupting the border..." Ge Guangpei was so angry now that he even forgot about the purpose of getting money. He huffed angrily.
He said, "When word spreads about this outside, we will report it to the court and then invite troops to destroy Wagonzhai."
Ge Guangpei took all the anger he had suffered at Wan Yuanwai and the failure of his fortune-making plan on Wagangzhai.
"Haha, Guangpei is so angry. Have you forgotten why we came? What can we gain by destroying them?" Tang Guangxiong said with a smile, "Go ahead and send someone to inquire in detail."
"Then...what are we doing?" Ge Guangpei said.
"Well, we...we are also going to Wagang Village. No matter what, we can't go back empty-handed. We have to take something back when we go out." Tang Guangxiong thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, we will go to Wagang Village and call for help.
Out of ten thousand people.”
"Are you going to catch him off guard?" Ge Guangpei was happy. He liked to do this kind of thing. He would appear suddenly, then find out what was wrong and try to rip him off.
"Haha, we are inspecting. Wagangzhai suddenly flourished. As parents, we should go to inspect and learn from experience, and find ways to enrich the people and strengthen the county in Wagangzhai." Tang Guangxiong said with a smile.
"Well... Gao... the county magistrate is wise." Ge Xingpei flattered Tang Guangxiong.
It was a really good move to investigate Wagang Village by surprise and covertly, and to recruit tens of thousands of people who might be able to tip off the villagers.
However, he didn't know that Wagang Village had its own liaison station in Wanheji. The next morning, as soon as they went out to Wagang Village, the news was sent back to the village by Liu Heizai using a carrier pigeon.
When the carrier pigeon delivered the message, Ma Hanshan was preparing to leave the village.
Where is he going? He actually wants to go to Fuyang County. As soon as the "war" ended yesterday, Ma Hanshan sent back the people sent by Cai Qing Tumenzi. He meant to meet Magistrate Cai.
Why did Ma Hanshan take the risk to meet the county magistrate of Donghu Dynasty? He felt that no matter what the relationship between Donghu and Dasong was, as long as Wagangzhai had not moved away, they were neighbors with Fuyang County. To be safe and develop, neighbors must have good relations with each other.
Relationship. If the relationship between neighbors is like the relationship between Palestine and Israel in the previous life, how can there be any intention to develop it?
"A Niu, Mr. Qi, the county magistrate and county lieutenant from Suishui County have come to inquire about our situation. You can stay and greet them. If they ask about what happened yesterday, just tell them. If they don't ask, you can do it."
Don't say it. Tell everyone in the village, including outsiders, that no one is allowed to talk to them or answer any questions from them. After they enter the village, people will stare at them, even when they go to the hut. However, the standard of hospitality must be high.
, when they go back, give them some tea, some bars... money... I won't give them a single copper." Ma Hanshan ordered.
"Ah? The leader of the village didn't stay to receive them?" Qi Nanbing was stunned.
"Humph, they are not qualified yet." Ma Hanshan said proudly.
You are awesome, even the county magistrate is not qualified to receive you in person...
