Tian Dajiang drove the carriage, in which he pulled all the valuable items of the old house and the personal contract between himself and Gao. He fled all the way to a small village thirty miles away from the county.
It's called Penglai village. Its name has a fairy spirit, but the situation in the village is a little miserable.
It's the poorest village in the county, but it's almost the same. With only five Liang silver, he set up a five room tupei house in the village.
Although it is not as bright as the old house of the Tian family, it is good that there is a place to live.
Gao came out of the carriage, which was too crowded. It contains a lot of cloth brought from relying on the mountain village, including those sent by Tian Yuqiao and those sent by Ma Ma in the past.
Now these good things are all cheap. Tian Dajiang and his wife, although it is late at night, both husband and wife check these things at the same time. Those two pairs of thief eyes become shiny and don't need to light the lights at night.
Some people were happy and others were worried. The county yamen was full of Li's cries and curses all night.
"These two goddesses, old four, you have to decide for your mother."
"Mom, now you see, son, although I'm the head of a county, I'm just a bare pole. I don't even have a yamen servant under my hand. What should I do?"
Old man Tian patted a dry cigarette bag and said, "there must be someone in qiao'er's hand. I've heard before. It seems that she is the head of the county in this county."
Tian Dahai's eyes lit up and said, "Dad and mom, I'll go to qiao'er early tomorrow morning and ask her to lend me some people first."
After the chicken crowed a few times, Li fell asleep. Fortunately, I went to the night market with some silver. Otherwise, I might not even have money for breakfast at the moment.
Tian Dahai sighed helplessly while eating wonton on the roadside. Xin said that he was really poor enough as a county magistrate. Although he became an official now, he still had to ask his niece for help.
But there was no way, so he had to bite the bullet and go all the way to the county master's house. Fortunately, the location of the county house is not far from the county. He arrived after walking for more than an hour.
Tian Yuqiao had Jin staring at the county yamen for a long time. When she heard that Tian Dajiang ran away with Li's belongings, she knew that Tian Dahai might come back to find her own help.
Sure enough, Xiaoyu came early in the morning to report that the county magistrate was visiting.
Wang and Tian Yuqiao let Tian Dahai into the hall. Tian Yuqiao smiled and said, "Hey, the people who were plagued by thieves here can't live here before. I've just built here."
Tian Dahai said with a wry smile, "isn't it? I just arrived at the Yamen yesterday and found that the Yamen was even more desolate. Alas, fourth uncle, I'm really helpless. It's hard to say."
"The fourth brother has something difficult, but it doesn't hurt to say." Wang holds Lan'er and smiles kindly.
Tian Dahai didn't hide it, so he told Tian Dajiang about running away with Gao's stealing from his family.
"Hey, second sister-in-law, I really can't help it. Now all the gifts I brought at home have been taken away by my eldest brother. My mother was looking for life and death last night. I can only come and ask Joel for help today."
"Fourth uncle, you can talk if you need anything. But I'm the county leader. I can't intervene in the affairs of the Yamen." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
As soon as Tian Dahai heard that there was a way, he immediately stood up and said, "qiao'er, the fourth uncle really can't help you now. I want to borrow some people. Now I don't have a Yamen in my hand, let alone catch Tian Dajiang. I don't even have a gatekeeper."
Tian Yuqiao couldn't help laughing and said, "well, now that we are all in the remote west, we should have taken care of each other. Can I lend my fourth uncle twenty people?"
"That's enough. In fact, ten people would be better. I can't afford to support them with more salary than your fourth uncle ~" Tian Dahai blushed.
Tian Yuqiao said with a smile, "don't worry, fourth uncle. Now the atmosphere in the county really needs to be improved. I lent fourth uncle's hands to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. When the public security is good, you'll just recruit some more people as yamen servants."
Tian Dahai gave a deep salute to Tian Yuqiao and said, "I'm so grateful to you, fourth uncle."
Tian Yuqiao was stunned to see that he didn't look like cheating. Wang quickly let him up and said, "it's good. You're Joel's uncle. It's natural to help you. I just hope you can be an honest and clean official in the future. That's enough."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The sea will not disappoint everyone. The people here are fierce. I'm afraid it will take some time to get together."
Tian Yuqiao has asked Xiaoyu to call the four brothers of the Li family. By the way, he has selected 20 Haotian armies.
These people are all capable, and Hao Tianjun is still fighting in the sea of corpses. It's really suitable for them to help Tian Dahai deal with some things.
The most important thing is that Tian Yuqiao wants to see what Tian Dahai will do after Tian Dajiang is caught. This is what she is most curious about at present, so she easily agreed.
Tian Dahai looked at the twenty-four people, especially the four brothers of the Li family, all of whom were strong and like tigers. The twenty people behind them were also the kind with their heads held high and their temples protruding outward. At a glance, they were all good men with vigorous blood.
He said some thanks again and was about to leave. Tian Yuqiao stopped him again.
"Fourth uncle, I'll give you another two hundred liang of silver. You're new here and need to buy some things."
Looking at the silver spindle in his hand, Tian Dahai almost didn't cry.
"Joe, this is borrowed by Uncle four. When my head stabilizes in the future, I will pay you back."
Tian Dahai finished and wrote down an IOU himself. Wang couldn't accept it.
"Hehe, Niang, since the fourth uncle insists, let's take it. After all, the fourth uncle is now an official and has a salary." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
Scholars naturally want face, not to mention that he is now an official.
After telling the four brothers of the Li family to cooperate with the county magistrate, Tian Yuqiao sent them away. When he left, he specially asked Xiaoyu to give Li Jinniu one hundred liang of silver and secretly told him that the silver was for them to eat, and they were not allowed to eat the grain of the county magistrate's house.
Li Jinniu's face turned red immediately. Hehe said with a smile, "I'm still worried that we don't have enough to eat. In this life, we can stay with my wife and miss. It's like living Bodhisattva."
"Well, stop talking and hurry. The county magistrate is still waiting outside."
