Chapter 8 It's not easy for the secretary and the master
Fu Zhaoxin had a strange look on his face, and said with some humor: "Er Shui, just tell me, don't worry about anything else."
Wang Ershui was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, but the woman's scream changed its tone and turned into a scream of joy that seemed to be extremely pleasurable. Wang Ershui choked back another sentence, and his face became even redder.
Zhao Pu next to him was also amused by Wang Ershui's appearance. The three of them were all men who had experienced love between men and women, so they naturally understood what the scream was about. But the study room where they were discussing happened to be facing Kang.
In the wing room in the backyard where Long rested, I don't know how Kang Long managed to get this girl to make such a big noise.
Wang Ershui spoke in a timely manner, but every time he opened his mouth to speak, the commotion over there suddenly became louder.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward. Fu Zhaoxin laughed, stood up and said, "How about you two going out for a walk with me? I have only been in Nanyang for a month, and I haven't gotten to know the local customs of Nanyang. As a parent official, I should
He is somewhat incompetent."
Wang Ershui quickly added: "My lord, you are so humble. You love the people like your own children, and you have come up with a brilliant idea to solve the problems that the previous magistrates of this county have not solved. This is not a boast of a villain, but now everyone in this county speaks to you.
People who praise and exaggerate are rare good officials!"
Fu Zhaoxin looked at Zhao Pu strangely. That idea was given by Zhao Pu. It's funny to say that when Fu Zhaoxin first took office as the magistrate of Nanyang County, some local officials and squires didn't know the temper of the county magistrate, so they wanted to
After testing the case, I found a few people who pretended to be troublemakers and went to the county government to file a lawsuit.
Fu Zhaoxin had never been an official at all. Although he had worked hard in the business field for more than ten years and had developed a sharp tongue, he unfortunately knew nothing about being an official.
In embarrassment, Fu Zhaoxin posted a notice and paid a high price to hire a master to advise him. At the beginning, many local scholars applied for the job, but unfortunately they were all unsatisfied. For more than ten days, Magistrate Fu Da was really attracted by that.
The few complainants who muddied the waters were exhausted, and the master couldn't find anyone he was satisfied with.
When the county magistrate of Fu Da was in a panic, Zhao Pu appeared. The first time Zhao Pu saw Fu Zhaoxin, he gave him an idea. As mentioned before, he issued a notice that if there was a lawsuit,
Regardless of right or wrong, you must first pay a court fee of 1,000 yuan. If it is a false accusation, the person who is found out will not only have to be beaten with a cane, but also fined ten guan. If the defendant has indeed committed evil, he will not only be sentenced according to the law, but also fined 10 guan.
Through.
Those who were involved in the lawsuit ran away in despair as soon as they saw the notice posted and did not wait for Mr. Fu to open the court to hear the case. They dared to come and cause trouble. Ten guan of money is not a small amount, even for an ordinary squire.
The family's annual income is only about 20 yuan, so no one would lose money because of this.
Because of this incident, Fu Zhaoxin thought that although Zhao Pu was not even a scholar, he was a scholar with real talents and learning, so he stayed with him and became a master of pen writing.
The three of them all changed into casual clothes, left the yamen, and went straight into the guest building. Wang Dakui was sulking behind the counter in the lobby. Suddenly he saw his second brother and the county magistrate arriving, and he didn't dare to pout there, so he made arrangements in a hurry.
The waiter served tea and picked up the latest preserved fruit cakes. At the same time, he personally led the way and led the three of them to the private seats on the second floor.
This was the time when business was at its slowest in the afternoon, and there was not a single customer in the VIP building. After the three of them entered the dining room, the waiter put tea and cakes on the table and left.
Wang Ershui told his eldest brother Wang Dakui to leave, and then said to Fu Zhaoxin: "Sir, I think this Kang Yeliu will definitely not be able to keep him, although he and you are brothers."
, but I think this Mr. Kang is a rebellious and unruly person who will never be subordinate to others."
While Wang Ershui was talking, he paid careful attention to the expression on Fu Zhaoxin's face. When he saw Fu Zhaoxin's worried look, he knew that his words had been heard by the adults. Whether or not he said the following words was irrelevant.
Wang Ershui had achieved his goal, so he brought tea, leaned back in his chair, and drank the tea leisurely. Fu Zhaoxin also didn't expect that Wang Ershui had such eyesight, so he looked at him in surprise, and then said: "What Aji said
Yes, my brother is indeed such a person. However, I believe that there are still ways. The key is to see if everyone can help me think of it."
Wang Ershui was stunned, feeling that there was something in the adult's words, but he was a little confused for a moment. He looked at Zhao Pu next to him, who also had a confused look on his face.
Fu Zhaoxin sighed and said: "I don't have to hide anything from you two. You are all people I can trust. I will need to rely on you two in many places in the future. This matter is very important and the family is strict.
When I was leaving, I specifically requested that I bring my virtuous brother to his old man no matter what, but Kang Long is my sworn brother, so I am so hesitant."
Wang Ershui let out an ooh, showing an expression of deep approval, but he didn't agree in his heart and said, what's wrong with sworn brothers? Brothers are still settling accounts, not to mention they are just sworn brothers, how can they be closer than full brothers?
Zhao Pu thought for a moment and then solemnly said: "Sir, I think it is not appropriate to force Mr. Kang to stay at this time. I feel that Mr. Kang is now in his proud moment and I am afraid he will not stay here. Just now at the banquet, the villain
If you heard me correctly, has Mr. Kang made a marriage agreement with the third lady? Isn’t this a good thing? After all, with the relationship of the third lady, Mr. Kang will be a member of the Fu family sooner or later, why are you so anxious? "
Fu Zhaoxin smiled bitterly and said: "There are some things that you don't understand, but since you two think it is not appropriate to force your virtuous brother to stay at the moment, I can only make other plans."
Zhao Pu saw Fu Zhaoxin's eyes twinkling and his words hesitating, as if he was having trouble deciding on a secret matter. He wanted to ask, but when he saw Wang Ershui secretly looking at Fu Zhaoxin, he stopped talking and picked up the teacup to sip.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. Fu Zhaoxin tapped the table with his middle finger and narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was planning.
Wang Ershui observed for a while and found that Fu Zhaoxin had no interest in talking at all. He was a little undecided. However, since he decided to join the big ship of the Fu family, he had to show his valuable side. Otherwise, why would anyone use you? So,
Wang Ershui pondered for a moment and then said: "Sir, I think there are two things that must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait for Master Kang to leave and seize the opportunity to make plans to retain Master Kang in the future.
.”
Fu Zhaoxin didn't know what Wang Ershui had in mind, so he looked like he was listening.
Wang Ershui cleared his throat and said: "First of all, your Excellency must use the limited time to deepen your relationship with Mr. Kang. It is best to let Mr. Kang remember the most pleasant time when I got along with you. Secondly, Your Excellency must find a way to
Find out Kang Ye’s next move so that we can prepare for all responses in advance.”
