Chapter 515： You Dagang

Chapter 515 You Dagang

Jiang Dayi explained in a gruff voice: "Didn't the magistrate before to please Chen Yangqiu to start with the Feng family! Later, when the Feng family got up, our family followed suit, for fear that we would settle accounts in the autumn, so the three-year term expired. I consciously applied for peace and went to a lesser county seat to be the magistrate.

It's not easy to get promoted, and it's much easier to maintain peace, let alone go to a bad place. The court quickly approved it. He walked very low-key at that time, running faster than a rabbit, and left Dizhou long ago. , This is You Dagang who took office behind.

Seriously, this is the most scoundrel magistrate I have seen since I came to Qing'an County. Although the previous one was not very good, at least he knew some ways of being an official, and he did not dare to go too far and cause public resentment. It's different. He has just taken office and has been receiving benefits everywhere, that is, our master is an official in the capital, and he doesn't dare to talk to us.

Other people as long as there is no power in the family, they all have to pay protection fees, more robbers than robbers! I, Lao Jiang, can't bear to see this, and I have talked to Changxin and the others for many years, but because no one has offended us, and the bitter master has never asked us for help, the He family and other big households have not acted, and Changxin wants to We did not move, and I put up with it. "

said it was forbearance, but in fact, I felt a lot of resentment in my heart, and I said a lot of bad things about You Dagang behind the scenes.

Wen Yuanhong looked at Changxin, Jiang Dayi could not tolerate sand in his eyes, and he liked to add fuel to his words, so he still asked Changxin to be more reliable.

Chang Xin looked at Wen Yuanhong's inquiring eyes, nodded silently, and said, "Jiang Dayi said it in a more general way, and he stayed in the village all the year round or went out to deliver goods, and he didn't know it carefully. According to the rules, 30% of the tax should be paid after the autumn harvest every year, and it can be reduced to 20% when the year is poor.

You Dagang, regardless of the good or bad year, uniformly pays taxes according to three levels. If the year is good, he will also collect money. There are many names, such as building bridges and paving roads, building famous archways, or building temples, and so on. Yes, but the subordinates sent someone to inquire about it. During You Dagang's tenure in office, Qing'an County had never even heard of digging a ditch, not to mention building bridges and paving roads.

On the contrary, I heard that he was looking for beauties and raising them in the backyard, and those beauties didn’t know whether he took the house by himself or sent them out to pay bribes. "

Wen Yuanhong immediately thought of the woman behind the screen on the second floor of the restaurant, thinking that this is the purpose of You Dagang to collect beautiful women.

Chang Xin saw that Wen Yuanhong's expression did not change, and continued: "This You Dagang has a lot of tricks, and it seems that someone is protecting him. Anyway, he didn't cover up when he did these things. Know everything.

Not only that, but he also saves lives. "

Wen Yuanhong's expression became fierce in vain.

Changxin lowered his eyes and said, "The victim was a prostitute named Zhu Niang in the brothel. Our family has always had business dealings with the brothel, but the family has been in business over the years.

Master is grateful for Cui Niang's help when he was poor in his early years. In addition, the master said that it is difficult for women in brothels. It is not easy for them to buy on weekdays, and they have to look at the faces of others outside. We can help as much as we can, so occasionally let the people below deliver goods in these years, and people will ask a few questions.

Zhu Niang is not too young. It is reasonable to say that after she retires, Cui Niang will be the next old maid, but You Dagang went to the brothel not long after taking office, and Zhu Niang died the next day.

A prostitute, even if she dies, no one will care, but Cui Niang is a kind and intentional person. She knows that Zhu Niang was killed by You Dagang, and she always wants to take revenge, but she is also old and wants to be seduced. It was impossible for the waiter to get close to You Dagang, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he asked his subordinates in desperation.

The subordinates asked Cui Niang to secretly collect evidence in the brothel, and then report the matter to the masters when the evidence is conclusive. Unexpectedly, there is no news from Cui Niang, but the second master came back first. "

Wen Yuanhong frowned, "What does this mother Zhu have to do with You Dagang? Why did You Dagang kill her?"

Chang Xin shook his head, "My subordinates don't know about this matter, the origin of the women in the brothel is difficult to find out, and with Zhu Niang's age, unless someone knows her details, it is very difficult to trace her past, but The subordinates have tried their best to send people to investigate secretly, but the biggest hope is still with Cui Niang. If Cui Niang finds some clues, it will be much easier for the subordinates to do things here."

Wen Yuanhong has stayed in Dali Temple for such a long time, he naturally understands these truths, and immediately pondered: "Do this first, and I will also ask someone to help me. Until the evidence is conclusive, don't startle the snake. Also, I am here. When you come back next time, you have something to do, you can send someone to tell me over there and prepare a few guest rooms for me.”

Changxin did not ask any further questions and complied unconditionally.

Jiang Dayi was at ease now, and shouted: "Second Master, I can wait to see you show off your power, punish the dog officer, and bring peace to Qing'an County!"

The corner of Wen Yuanhong's mouth twitched, feeling inexplicably that he has a long way to go.

After    left the grocery store, he took the carriage arranged by Chang Xin and went to Hu's house.

At this time, the school was on holiday, the front yard was empty, and Wen Yuanhong was still in a trance when he passed by. The scenes of hanging beams and thorns here in those years are still vivid in his mind. In the blink of an eye, he is a sixth-rank official who has gone through two dynasties.

"What? Thinking of the past?" A hoarse and gentle voice sounded behind him.

Wen Yuanhong turned around suddenly, smiled in surprise, and bowed, "Father-in-law!"

"Haha." Hu Wenzhi held his beard, patted Wen Yuanhong's shoulder, and smiled happily: "Not bad, I thought you were young and not as flexible as your elder brother, and it would be difficult for you to advance after entering the office, who knows. You are also a lucky person, how long has it been, and you will be sentenced to the sixth grade! If you work hard, maybe this old man will see you in the pavilion and become a close minister of the emperor in his lifetime."

Wen Yuanhong nodded solemnly, "Father-in-law take good care of you, I will definitely wait until that day. Although I am not as good as my eldest brother, I will definitely not disappoint my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"What disappointed me?" Shen shi's happy voice came.

Wen Yuanhong looked up, and saw that she was surrounded by servants as if she was happy for the New Year, looked Wen Yuanhong up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is an official, a father, it looks different. !"

Hu Wenzhi nodded in agreement, and led Wen Yuanhong to the inner courtyard. Just keep your feet on the ground and walk step by step. To be honest, among the civil servants, your promotion speed is beyond the speed of others!"
