To the west of Kuaiji County, there is a small county. In the Guanghe period, this small county did not exist. It was not until the first year of Xingping that Sun Wu established the county here and named it Wuning County, which of course means "the peace of the land of Wu".
"It means. I don't know if it's because of this name. In short, this small county town has been really peaceful and peaceful since its establishment. Nothing happened. It can really be regarded as a peaceful place!
Of course, this is just a way for officials to put money on their faces and increase their political achievements. In fact, the local people know it very well. There are not many families in Wuning County within a hundred miles, and there are not many people in the county.
There are only a few thousand people. With such a small number of people, even if you want something to happen, it will be too much! The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that most of the areas south of Jiangdong are still in a state of semi-open wasteland.
The owners of this area are the Yue people who live in the deep mountains and old forests.
Lao Heizi has lived here for decades. According to him, his family has moved here since his grandfather's generation! When the government established a county and built a city here, Lao Heizi also worked as a coolie and moved here.
Stone! Lao Heizi once said that there is nothing big or small in the land of Wuning County that he does not know!
No one could tell whether Lao Heizi was bragging about this, and no one would ask seriously. Lao Heizi used to work as an errand in the county government office. Later, when he got older, Lao Heizi retired, but he
His son Xiao Heizi was sent to the Yamen to pick him up. In this small Wuning County, Lao Heizi can be regarded as an official figure! Walking on the road, everyone who saw him would shout
He calls him Lao Heiye! Even every time a new county magistrate takes office, he has to treat Lao Heizi to a meal and establish friendship!
However, Lao Heizi has never used his identity to cause trouble in the county. Since he retired from the yamen, Lao Heizi has just walked around the streets a few times every day with his hands behind his back, or listened to teahouses on the streets.
Storytelling is a comfortable life.
This afternoon, Lao Heizi was no exception. He still swaggered down the street with his hands behind his back. Although Lao Heizi is almost sixty years old, his legs and feet are no worse than those of young people. When he walks,
He still retains the majesty he had when he was a yamen servant.
"Hey! Master Lao Hei! Are you out for a stroll today?" "Master Lao Hei! Aren't you going to listen to a book today?" "Master Lao Hei! Are you feeling well?"
Walking on the street, the neighbors passing by all said hello to Lao Heizi, and Lao Heizi also waved his hands one by one. I am afraid that even the county magistrate could not compare with his style. Lao Heizi smiled on the street
While walking around, I was wondering if I would let my son shoot a bird or something. I heard that some of the nobles in big cities like to carry a bird cage and wander around in the street!
Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Heizi's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw that the person walking hurriedly in front of him was his son Heizi. Immediately, Lao Heizi waved his hand and shouted towards his son: "Heizi! You stinker."
Boy, come here for me!"
On this street, being able to easily recruit an official to one's side is not something that everyone has! Feeling the eyes around him, Lao Heizi felt proud in his heart. And Heizi heard his father's shout.
Although he was a little helpless and embarrassed, he could only run to Lao Heizi's side and said: "Dad! Why did you call me?"
"Smelly boy!" Lao Heizi didn't care about his son's face. He slapped his son directly on the back of the head with a slap, and cursed: "The wings have grown hard? Do you want to fly? Ah? I don't think so.
Even if I just call you, you dare to look down on me? You really think I can’t control you, don’t you?”
After receiving an unprovoked slap and a scolding, Heizi's black face, which was rumored to have been passed down from his grandfather's grandfather, suddenly became darker and darker. But he couldn't get angry at his father yet.
All he could do was suppress his temper and say: "Dad! How can I show you mercy! I am in a hurry and have official business to do!"
"Go!" Lao Heizi stared at his old eyes and snorted: "What a bullshit official job! Haven't you ever been an errand before becoming me? How big of an official job can Wu Ningcheng have? You brat! You actually dare to lie to deal with me.
?”
Heizi even wanted to cry, but the official business he had to do now was a secret. Even if Lao Heizi was his father, he couldn't tell him! He could only say with a wry smile: "Dad! I really have to go do some business.
! There are many people here, so it’s not convenient for me to talk about some things. Let’s wait until I finish my work and talk about it when I get home in the evening! That’s it!” After saying that, Heizi ran away without looking back!
But this time, Lao Heizi didn't lose his temper anymore. Judging from Heizi's appearance, I'm afraid something really happened. After working as an errand in the Yamen for so many years, Lao Heizi can still distinguish between business and private matters.
Although he was still cursing, he didn't continue to stop his son from doing business.
It's just that this matter has always stayed in Lao Heizi's mind, making Lao Heizi confused. Wu Ningcheng is only such a big place. What serious things can happen to make his son so nervous? While thinking about it, Lao Heizi
He was also walking forward, and unknowingly, Lao Heizi arrived at the city gate.
Although Wu Ning City is small, it still has basic defensive measures. Several soldiers are standing at the gate of the city, checking the people who pass through the city gate with their eyes from time to time. As soon as they see Lao Heizi coming, those few
The soldiers also laughed, and one of them shouted to Lao Heizi: "Old Hei! Why do you have time to come here today? Don't you usually go to the Yamen to hang out?"
"You bastard is a troublemaker! Are you in charge of my affairs?" After being laughed at by those soldiers, Lao Heizi realized that he had walked to the city gate unknowingly. However, Lao Heizi was embarrassed to say that he was just
After thinking about something, he blushed a little, scolded him with a straight face, and said, "I am here to see if you are lazy on behalf of the county magistrate!"
"Hahahaha!" Hearing that Lao Heizi was obviously bragging, all the soldiers laughed loudly. Everyone was talking to each other, but they were chatting happily with Lao Heizi. It was almost dark now, and at the gate of the city
There was nothing to do, everyone was very free. They chatted like this for nearly half an hour. Lao Heizi looked up and guessed that it was almost time for dinner, so he simply turned around and left. The soldiers followed him.
After looking at the sky, he started to laugh and prepare to close the door.
At this time, there was suddenly a heavy sound of horse hooves from outside the city, which startled the soldiers who were about to close the door. Each of those soldiers looked towards the outside of the city, but now the sky was dark
It was already dark, and they couldn't see clearly what was going on outside the city even if they wanted to, but the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer!
"Old Heizi, what do you think is going on?" Although just now they all made fun of Lao Heizi for bragging, but now that they are really in trouble, these soldiers have subconsciously turned to the experienced Lao Heizi for advice.
However, Lao Heizi had never encountered anything like this in his whole life as an official. He frowned and looked outside the city, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's some high-ranking official from above! Hurry up and get rid of it."
Open the city gate to welcome the official into the city! And you, go to the city immediately to find the county magistrate! Ask him to come out to greet the distinguished guests!" With the current situation of Wu Ning City, the county magistrate of Wu Ning City is naturally the most important person.
The lower-level officials, even if they are just a cat or a dog, are several levels higher than the county magistrate! In Lao Heizi's mind, as long as they are officials from outside, they are definitely better than the prefect of Wuning City!
Hearing Lao Heizi's analysis, the soldiers tilted their heads and thought, that's right! Following Lao Heizi's suggestion, they first opened the city gate and then sent someone to find the county magistrate.
After giving instructions to these soldiers, Lao Heizi was not in a hurry to go back. He was also full of interest in the upcoming high official and wanted to stay and see what the high official looked like.
Listening to the sound of horse hoofs getting closer and closer, everyone, including Lao Heizi, was very nervous. They didn't know who the high official coming this time would be? And just when everyone was so nervous, someone came from the city.
However, a figure rushed in the direction. It was none other than Lao Heizi's son, Heizi, who was working as an errand in the Yamen!
Heizi watched the city gate in front of him being opened from a distance. He was shocked and angry at the same time. He ran over quickly and shouted: "Damn it! You bastards! Who asked you to open the city gate?"
Who asked you to open the city gate? Hurry up and close it for me! Close it!"
"Uh!" Everyone, including Lao Heizi, was confused by Heizi's words. Didn't Lao Heizi just say that he would open the city gate to welcome the distinguished guests? Why is Heizi closing the city gate now? What these two father and son said
,Who should you listen to?
Lao Heizi obviously felt that his authority had been challenged. He jumped up and pointed at Heizi and cursed: "You stinky boy! What did you just say? Ah? Damn it!" Obviously, he couldn't get rid of him after scolding him.
With the anger in his heart, he simply slapped his hand and landed heavily on Heizi's face. In a blink of an eye, there was a bright red handprint on Heizi's cheek!
After receiving such a slap from his father, Heizi didn't even dare to fart, but Lao Heizi was still a little upset! He was just pointing at Heizi and jumping up and scolding him. If it were normal, he would see his father like this
Heizi was so angry that he had no choice but to let his father scold him. But today, Heizi said to Lao Heizi eagerly: "Dad! Dad! I'm going to change all your principles! Forget it, you'd better wait first.
