Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 13 Liu De
"No way, master!" Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Lao Zhong sighed secretly. Although the young master is smart, he is still too young after all, so he said: "Although our family is now dilapidated, you are also from a noble family after all, so you can't do it. this way"

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Zhang Yi carried two catties of dried fish like this, and it was a mixture of small fish and shrimp, and went to visit County Magistrate Liu.

Being able to gain a foothold in Haifeng without being made things difficult is just taking care of him, not to mention reciprocating, what's the matter with this dried fish?

As a housekeeper, Lao Zhong arranged most of the gifts received and sent to the house in the past. No matter the rules or etiquette, it was a matter of one's family. Even taking out the two biggest fish here would be forced to do nothing.But.
He was a little embarrassed, with worries and sighs on his old face!
Seeing Lao Zhong's worried face, Zhang Yi thought it was funny, so he paused before explaining: "Old Zhong Uncle, do you think this dried fish is just a simple dried fish? The things in the officialdom are not what you usually go around. Believe it or not, even if I send all the fresh fish here, I still can’t win the approval of the old county magistrate by sending such a catty of dried fish?"

Can you still get praise for sending dried fish?
Old Zhong obviously didn't believe it. If someone dared to give him a pack of dried fish when he was a housekeeper in Chang'an, he would probably hang him outside the house to drink the northwest wind for three days and three nights!

He couldn't help but look over at Zhang Yi secretly, and seeing that he didn't show signs of going crazy, he asked, "Young master, where are you?"

"Old Uncle Zhong, you know exactly where this is. Both us and County Magistrate Liu are actually the same kind of people, so what do you think people like us want most?"

"Naturally go back to Chang'an!" Old Zhong said decisively without even thinking about it: "Even eating pickled vegetables in Chang'an is [-] times better than here!"

It can be seen that Lao Zhong hated Haifeng's life to the bone!The sun makes people dizzy during the day, and the fishy sea breeze at night is suffocating. He really can't bear this resort with subtropical jungle and coastal style.

"That's right, don't you think these dried fishes can help us or County Magistrate Liu create an opportunity to return to Chang'an?" Zhang Yi smiled, and then picked out a dried fish that was blown by the wind. Put the fish larvae into your mouth and chew slowly. When the salty taste inside spreads to your taste buds, the smile on your face becomes stronger.

Old Zhong didn't know why, so he followed Zhang Yi's example and picked up a small fish and put it in his mouth. It tasted very strange.
The next day, when the sun slowly rose, Zhang Yi took Lao Zhong and waited at the gate of the county government office.

The county government office is as dilapidated as the city wall of Haifeng City. The green bricks, stone strips and the three-foot-high government hall clearly separate him from ordinary residential buildings. There are a pair of stone lions with big eyes standing on both sides of the doorway Stand out from the crowd.

"Master, don't you want to stop thinking about it? At this moment, the magistrates of Liu County are still in there, and it may take a while. If you change your mind, this old slave will still have time to go home and get fresh big fish!"

Old Zhong didn't sleep well all night, and his old face looked even more haggard. Although the young master said a lot of things he didn't understand last night, he panicked just because he didn't understand!

"Old Uncle Zhong, don't worry, maybe we can still have a meal at the old county magistrate at noon!" Zhang Yi stood upright under the stone lion outside, and he had to wait until the third class of yamen inside ordered You can only enter the punishment room to paint Mao after the Mao.

After all, his current identity is a migrant, whether he is a Han or a Baiyue, this procedure must be followed!
After a while, two servants came out from the gate of the county government office. One of them looked at Zhang Yi who was standing outside and said, "Zhang Yi, the exile, follow me to draw Mao!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Yi cupped his hands, thanked him, and followed the yamen servant inside.

The county government office is not big, and according to Zhang Yi's calculations, it only occupies an area of ​​seven or eight acres, but the inside is in order. Although the house is old, it is taken care of very quickly. It can be seen that the county magistrate Liu Must be an extremely rigorous person.

The so-called Liufang is actually like the six departments of the imperial court, which are the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. Their main functions are also quite mainly to manage related matters under the county government.

After passing through two houses, Zhang Yi came to a study.

"Go in!" The yamen servant was already tepid, pointed to the door and left without caring about Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi is an exile, but he is not an ordinary prisoner. He has enough freedom in the sea breeze, so no matter whether he is a government servant or a city guard, there is no need to worry about him escaping.

What's more, even if Zhang Yi fled privately and even they didn't have to hunt them down, Zhang Yi would definitely die on this land!
After all, Lingnan is not as simple as it is described in the book, and it is even more difficult to go back alive than going to heaven!

"Dong dong dong!" Zhang Yi knocked lightly on the door twice.

Soon, a slightly old voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Opening the door, there was an old man in his fifties inside. Zhang Yi thought he was dazzled, but when he looked carefully, it was still the same person, and his mind was a little confused.

"What? Surprised?" Liu De laughed, stroked the three-inch beard on his chin and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk!"

It was only at this time that Zhang Yi was sure that the old man in front of him was the County Magistrate Liu he saw in the lobby that day, but he didn't understand why this majestic county magistrate came to serve as a guest in the torture chamber. .

Looking at Zhang Yi's puzzled eyes, County Magistrate Liu's face immediately became embarrassed, and he coughed a little before explaining embarrassingly: "This land in the south of the Five Ridges is very barbaric, and there are poisonous insects and swamps everywhere. So in terms of manpower "

What Liu De said was right, not to mention that he was here to be the owner of a criminal house, even the sergeants who were sent could hide and run, because in the eyes of Datang people, entering Lingnan was almost a farewell to their family.Under such circumstances, if it is not forced to have no other way, as long as they can survive, no one will risk their lives.

Therefore, it is none other than County Magistrate Liu who plays a cameo role as the owner of the sixth house.

"Magistrate Liu has worked hard!" Zhang Yi hurriedly got up and saluted Liu De respectfully, before saying, "The sun is hot and cold in the south of Lingnan, and now you are working hard to improve the governance, which is really admirable! It's just that the magistrate Liu is in good shape. It's worrying, why not find an opportunity to return to the Central Plains, that's where County Magistrate Liu can flex his muscles!"

What Zhang Yi said is heart-warming. An old man who is over half a year old has only a few days to live, and he has already given up the idea of ​​returning to the Central Plains in such a ghostly place in Lingnan. Shang Chung wanted to run back to Chang'an immediately as if he had been injected with chicken blood!
