A fox and a mouse can roam in one burrow, while a tiger and a snake can roam in nine burrows.

The sky has eyes, but the earth has no skin.

The officials' ducks are as fat as gourds, and the people's fish are rotten and rotten.

Who dares to ask for help? Utopian plain silk poems.

...

Qinghe County is separated from Yanggu County by Jingyanggang. Although it is far different from Yanggu County in terms of people's livelihood, economy, and official administration, Qinghe County's government office is even more impressive than Yanggu County's government office.

How much.

There were four huge mahogany pillars erected in front of the county government office. Four government officials were leaning on them, bored and yawning, without even raising their eyelids to the movement on the streets outside the county government office.

At the foot of the steps, there are two huge stone sculptures of Bifan. Bifan is the son of the dragon. He is impatient and righteous by nature, can distinguish right from wrong, and is impartial and upright. Now they stand at the entrance of the Qinghe County Yamen, compared with the two Yamen servants at the door.

, but it seems extremely ironic.

Zhu Biao, Shi Xiu, and Du Bo sat down in a tea shed outside the Qinghe County government office, observed it for a while, and did not rush in.

Around tea time, I saw a middle-aged man with a goat's beard and a master's appearance walking out of the county government gate with an ugly expression. Zhu Biao glanced at Shi Xiu, who understood.

"Master Qian, please be polite." Shi Xiu stepped forward quickly, slightly cupped his hands, and blocked the middle-aged man's path.

When the middle-aged master saw this, his face was slightly angry, and he said bluntly: "You, you, actually blocked my way at the gate of the county government office in broad daylight, but you just wanted to get rid of me."

"Master Qian, please forgive me." Shi Xiu smiled and said, "My young master needs to see Magistrate Lu about something, please tell Master Qian."

Master Qian took a look at Shi Xiu's outfit and saw that he didn't look like a member of a wealthy family. He said disdainfully: "I don't care which young master you are as a follower. My county magistrate is busy with everything. How can I have time to see that troublesome son of yours?"

Young Master."

"When Master Qian speaks, he is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue."

Shi Xiu's expression turned stern and she said coldly: "My young master lives in Zhujiazhuang, Dulonggang, and he is on a trip to the family. Master Qian has decided whether to pass the news."

When Master Qian heard this, his expression changed, and he complained in his heart, thinking to himself, this is no longer a disaster.

Unlike Magistrate Lu, who is a foreign magistrate, Master Qian is a native of Qinghe County. He has been a master in the county government of Qinghe County for more than ten years and has served several county magistrates. He has deep-rooted connections in Qinghe County.

, even the county captain and chief bookkeeper of this county have to give him some face; if this magistrate Lu was not the godson of the eunuch Yang Jian, Master Qian would not take him seriously.

However, it is precisely because of this that Mr. Qian knows better who has the final say in Qinghe, Yanggu counties, and even the entire East and West Road of Beijing. People like the third son of the Zhu family will be crushed to death.

He is like crushing an ant to death. In this era when human life is as small as grass and money can be used to communicate with gods, with the financial resources and connections of Zhujiazhuang, Magistrate Nalu is nothing more than a bigger ant at best.

This Magistrate Lu is really deceived by lard. I tried to persuade him like that last night, but he still went to get Wu Song, which was really a disaster for me.

Master Qian looked ugly and followed Shi Xiu to the teahouse with heavy steps. When he saw Zhu Biao, he said humbly: "Third Young Master, what happened last night has nothing to do with me. I have also tried to persuade Magistrate Lu many times, but he did not

If you don’t listen, I’m just a mere master, and if you don’t reach the rank of the imperial court, how can I be the master of the county prince?”

Zhu Biao looked at the groveling look in front of him and just smiled and said: "Master Qian does not need to explain. Zhu knows something about Master Qian. Although you are greedy, you are greedy for the money of the wealthy squires in Qinghe County, but you have never To harm the people, this alone is more powerful than all the officials, big and small, in Qinghe County."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian felt that if he had been granted amnesty, he would not be implicated in last night's incident because of Zhu San Gongzi's words. He immediately catered to him.

"The Third Young Master has promoted me. Qian knows that he is not a very good person, but he is a native of Qinghe County, but Qian does not bother to do anything that harms the people."

Zhu Biao laughed loudly when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "Master Qian can say these words, but he can be considered magnanimous. Qinghe County should be inseparable from the help of people like you in the future."

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Mr. Qian felt excited and bowed down: "Thank you, Third Young Master. Young Master, please follow me to the county government office and wait a moment. I will inform the county magistrate right now."

Zhu Biao smiled, stood up, led Du Bo and Shi Xiu, and followed Mr. Qian to the county government office.

...

But he said that the county magistrate Lu Zhiyuan and his confidants were planning how to use Wu Song's incident to make Wu Zhi lose his sense and leave an excuse, and then let Yang Jian use his strength to seize the position of Yanggu County Magistrate. Good to replace it.

The two of them were excited about talking, but they never thought that Master Qian who came to the door to tell the truth heard the truth and sneered in his heart.

The county magistrate is still dreaming of being the magistrate of Yanggu County, so he doesn't know that disaster is coming.

Master Qian pushed open the door and walked in, bowing to County Magistrate Lu and saying, "Master, I wish the third young master of Zhujiazhuang is here to visit."

I saw that County Magistrate Na Lu had a fat head and big ears, and was full of people's wealth. Hearing Master Qian's words, he frowned slightly and said, "Who is the third son of Zhujiazhuang?"

Hearing this, a confidant on the side said: "My subordinates have been here in Qinghe County with the Grand Master for only half a year. I have heard from the officials on weekdays that Zhujiazhuang is a powerful place not far from Qinghe County and Yanggu County. , I’m not sure about the rest.”

Master Qian glanced at the two of them and said: "My lord, I don't know something. This Zhujiazhuang is not the tycoon between Qinghe County and Yanggu County, but the largest tycoon in Shandong. The third son of the Zhu family is also famous all over the world. figure."

Master Qian is a clever calculator. He talks about half of the money and keeps the other half. He only talks about how great Zhujiazhuang and Zhu Biao are, but does not mention the purpose of coming to Qinghe County.

Even if it was half of the words, Magistrate Lu was surprised and sighed: "This third son of the Zhu family, could he be the one my godfather told me to pay attention to when I left the capital? He has a reputation in the official family." Shandong Taishan Jun——Zhu Biao?"

Seeing Mr. Qian nodding, Magistrate Lu suddenly felt panicked. Without thinking about it, he straightened up and smiled at his confidant beside him.

"Let him dry it out, so that he will know the majesty of the government. Now that Zhujiazhuang has come to my door, he must be asking for something from me. Since he has a huge wealth, there is no reason not to give me some."

Master Qian on the side was shocked when he heard this. The county magistrate must have gone crazy. I have told him that Zhujiazhuang is the biggest tycoon in Shandong. Even the old thief Yang Jian has warned him. Zhu San A young master is a person who is famous among officials and officials.

This guy actually wanted to keep the other party in the dark and take the money from the third young master. He was afraid that he would have his life to take it, but not his life to spend it.

Doesn't this guy understand what it means to be the biggest tycoon in Shandong? He is not only rich, but also maintains a group of people with superb martial arts skills and countless private soldiers!!!
