Chapter 7 Unexpected Interlude Over the past few days, Ke Han has gradually mastered some basic information about the predecessor he traveled through, and then started to take some actions.
But in front of him, even though he has a master like Ma Changfa guarding him, he is still weak and weak. In addition, Ma Changfa has a simple mind. It is still difficult to completely reform the county government.
What's even worse is that few of the government officials are willing to really listen to a word he says. Most of them are perfunctory. That damn Master He, I wonder what method he uses to make the minions obey him one by one? This Master, hum.
, no matter what, we have to find a way to settle it...
After the test of that moonlit night, Ma Changfa followed Ke Han even more closely than before, almost to the point of being inseparable.
Let's not talk much, but it is said that as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival is over, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Ke Han's injury had long since healed, so he thought that it was time to personally intervene in the affairs of the yamen. After all, this was a serious matter!
Before, he had vaguely felt that Mr. He was tired of asking him for instructions early and reporting late, so that many times, he actually tried to find ways to evade it.
On this day, Ke Han got up very early. What is different from usual is that today, he will end his vacation and officially go to work.
Three days ago, he had supported Master He, so today was very worth looking forward to for Ke Han.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Xiu'er, Ke Han straightened his clothes and prepared to go to the Yamen to work.
At this moment, suddenly, Zhang Yamen, who was in charge of running errands, ran in from outside the courtyard. Because he ran so fast, he fell to the ground, but he still screamed out of breath: "Master! Madam's house..."
"What's going on at Madam's house?" Ke Han was startled and asked hurriedly, "Are you in a panic this early in the morning?"
"Old man, old man... I'm afraid... I can't do it anymore..." Zhang Yamen said out of breath.
"Fart! You slave, you have been talking nonsense all morning!" Ke Han couldn't believe his ears, so he scolded Zhang Yamen, "A few days ago, our father-in-law asked someone to send a letter saying everything
Everything is fine, and he also said that he already knew what was going on here, and told Xiu'er to take care of herself, and to take good care of the county magistrate! What, it's only been a few days? Is it time to give up?
What can he do? His old man can’t do it! You dog slave..."
Xiu'er was so anxious that she fainted. Ke Han quickly called the maids and servants, pinched her and gave her sugary water. After working for a long time, Xiu'er finally woke up.
Xiu'er looked at Ke Han silently for a while, then grabbed Ke Han's hand, but was speechless for a while and just kept crying.
Ma Chang, who came to "escort", saw this situation and was at a loss.
Zhang Yamen stood up. He approached Ke Han actively and reminded: "Sir! Why don't you let the Yamen go first? My father-in-law needs to take a look at it urgently! We are newlyweds, so don't let others gossip.
That’s good”
Ke Han always felt that something was fishy, but he couldn't put it down to pay a visit to his father-in-law, who was in name only and was about to die. He could only smile bitterly and signaled to Ma Changfa to hurry up and prepare the carriage to accompany Xiu'er.
Anyway, as for the affairs in this yamen, since we have put them off for so many days, we don’t care if it is delayed by another day or two!
Ma Changfa drove the carriage hurriedly along the path, but Ke Han got on the carriage without even taking off his official uniform. He stayed close to Xiu'er along the bumpy road, and from time to time he tried to console the sad ones.
Xiu'er is quite tired.
After running around for about two hours, we had already left the county territory of Huai County and were about to enter Taohuawu, where Xiuer's family is located.
Taohuawu is named after the peach trees planted there. Although it has a beautiful and resounding name, it is also a very poor place.
Maybe one place has its own planting habits? Apart from planting some staple foods and peach trees, farmers here hardly grow any other cash crops. Coupled with the proliferation of insect pests in recent years, the production of highly seasonal peaches has been reduced.
, the harvest is close to zero, so although the staple food can barely make ends meet, but without other sources of income, the money bag has always been deflated, so the people here just cling to the good name and stay poor! The entire village
There is no life at all
No matter what, Xiu'er finally arrived at her parents' home, and Xiu'er became excited and nervous at the same time. She had long forgotten the pain of bumpy roads, she only looked forward to seeing her parents soon, and was afraid that she would not be able to see her father if she was too late.
At this moment, a group of young men holding swords suddenly ran over not far away. There were about five or six of them, shouting loudly as they ran, chasing a hare that was rushing towards Ke Han's carriage.
The hare panicked and hit the front of Ke Han's car, falling to the ground and dying.
Those people couldn't hold back their momentum and all of a sudden rushed to surround them.
Seeing this, Ma Changfa quickly braked. Although he stopped the car that almost tipped over, it still made Xiu'er dizzy and vomited. Ke Han held Xiu'er's forehead with his hand and opened the curtains.
, making Xiuer stretch her head out of the window and breathe some fresh air.
Those people stood in a circle around the car and stretched out their hands to ask Ma Chang, who was holding the whip, for a hare. But when they saw Ke Han, who was wearing official robes, he opened the door curtain with one hand and held Xiu'er's head with the other, looking very attentive.
They were all surprised
A tall and thin man stared at the window and leaned towards the window jealously. He pulled down the curtain that was still half-covered by Ke Han, and reached out to tease Xiu'er, but Ke Han slapped him back.
The rest of the people burst into laughter, and the thin man felt that he had lost face, so he raised his fist and hit Ke Han.
Ma Changfa, who was sitting at the front of the car, saw that the situation was not going well and jumped in front of the big man. He shouted: "What a bold thing! How dare you block the county magistrate's car without even opening your eyes?"
"Oh my god, if he were the county magistrate, I would be his fucking father! Who did you get this dog skin from where and put it on to scare you?" The man laughed endlessly.
"Pah, pah!" Ke Han had already got off the carriage. Without saying a word, he slapped the man twice loudly with his hands. He felt his hands cramping. He shouted in his heart: No one dares to scold me like this.
!
With a "crack" sound, several others drew their swords out of their sheaths in unison, and all pressed towards Ke Han.
Xiu'er's face turned pale with fright when she stretched out the window. She had never seen such a scene before.
At this moment, seeing Xiu'er like this made Ke Han feel very distressed again. However, with Ma Changfa accompanying him, there was no need to be afraid of these "miscellaneous things"!
As expected, Ke Han was calm and composed. He turned around and leaned into Xiu'er's ear in front of everyone. He deliberately wanted those people to hear what he said and said to Xiu'er in a sweet and sweet tone:
Don't be afraid, dear! There is a master here...
At the same time, Ma Changfa turned around like lightning and picked out the knives in everyone's hands. He shouted: "Huai County Inspector Ma Yidao escorted the county magistrate back to his hometown to visit his relatives. Who dares to stop him? He will definitely kill him."
!——”
In ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to see officials, and because of the lack of information, they could not believe that they could see such a "living treasure". They thought it was some dude pretending to be an official and robbing civilian girls.
Ke Han then remembered that they had to see the official seal to be sure of their identity. However, as a county magistrate, how could he be so poor that he had to carry the official seal with him to talk to the people? Then he became angry again.
Ke Han looked around at the people who were still stunned after Ma Changfa picked off their swords. He glanced at Ma Changfa pretending to be affectionate, and then said decisively: "Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a capital crime, and it will also implicate the nine tribes! Everyone, what do you think?
How many lives are there? By the way, let me tell you, if there are two more groups of people like you, they are no match for Ma Changfa, the great hero in our county government!"
After hearing this, those few people were still unwilling to accept it, but they had just been provoked by Ma Changfa and their swords flew away, so they still had some scruples, and they all stopped saying a word.
At this time, a sparrow happened to fly over the peach grove on the roadside, chirping non-stop.
Ke Han tried his best to show that he was upset. He nodded to Ma Changfa, indicating that he would show his hand again. Ma Changfa had been with his master for a long time, and he was much more flexible, so he understood and pulled out a dagger from his waist.
, without even raising his head, he waved his hand and threw it out with a "swish" sound.
"Why are you making such a fuss? I don't know why our master is upset?!" Ma Changfa roared in a familiar manner, and then saw the sparrow being hit by a dagger and falling to the ground.
When the group of people saw it, they were all surprised and stepped back one after another.
"Who among you is the leader?" Ke Han still asked.
Looking at these young and energetic guys, Ke Han seemed to have seen footage of himself hanging out with a few of his friends during the winter and summer vacations. Although he later became more online, his favorite thing to play was still gladiatorial games! Alas, he was young and frivolous.
, don’t you just love to play? Now, although this group is a mob, after all, their thoughts are relatively simple, and they are not as scheming as the boys of my time, they are just a little rude. If they are subdued after some training, they will stay here.
As a county official, are you still afraid that Mr. He will go against me? Wouldn't it be better to replace those government servants who are just crazy and can only flatter others?
Thinking of this, Ke Han couldn't help but laugh "chichi" again, and teased: "If you compete with this big brother Ma, how much can you beat?"
Everyone was still silent, but it was obvious that they were flustered, but they couldn't stay. They seemed to be interested in Ma Changfa's Kung Fu and were hesitating.
Ke Hanzhong took a serious look at the crowd, frowned, and he was thinking carefully, and he seemed to be a savior! He took advantage of the situation and said to everyone: "You can't hang around like this! Master, I have my heart to take you all in.
, I want to set up a temporary escort team in the county government to practice martial arts with Brother Ma. It is not only to strengthen your body, but also to make you successful in your studies. It will be used to protect the safety of the people of Huai County, and it will give you something to do.
Secondly, you can also earn income by doing it, which can supplement some household expenses for your family. What do you think?"
Those people were stunned for a moment, then became very happy, threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, and knelt down to worship
"Slow down! This is something to be said later. Master, I am going to my father-in-law's house for the time being to visit an old man I haven't seen for a long time! If you are interested in joining the temporary guard, you still have to go through a test. It is our principle to select the best! Okay.
, you should think about it carefully and come to Huai County for an interview in three days!" After Ke Han finished speaking, he ordered Ma Changfa to gallop away, and said again and again, "Don't worry my little Xiu'er!"
After hearing Ke Han's last words, Xiu'er's cheeks turned red. She looked at Ke Han gratefully and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ke Han didn't care that the bastards behind him were standing there with their mouths wide open, and he didn't bother to ask their names. He just smiled confidently, generously put his arm around Xiu'er's waist, got into the carriage, and ran towards Taohuawu.
