Love is More Than a Word

Cui Jiong froze in cold sweat.

Since the county magistrate, Zhang Jingyuan, has been entangled in the sickbed and handed over the affairs of the county government to him, he has become accustomed to going in and out of the backyard of the county government. Where does he come from? I came in a hurry this morning, but I forgot about it for a while, not even the porter. This is good, just to catch a new official!

He lowered his head, thoughts flashed through his head, and finally knelt on one knee, saying: "The lesson learned is that the subordinate passed."

Tao Mo was stunned, and was about to ask why he was kneeling. He saw that Lao Tao brought a few people from the outside and called out, "Lao Tao, what did you do early in the morning?"

Cui Jiong didn't feel comfortable seeing him hanging himself here, but he cared about his servants. His qualifications in Tanyang County lasted longer than that of the county magistrate, and he was a real local snake. Which county magistrate's new appointment was not a tie-in to him, lest he should mess up below to make them unsettled. But this came back with a thorn, and the new officer took him off the road to take the position. Well, since you are doing the first day, blame me for fifteen!

He has begun to figure out how to return the color for a while.

Lao Tao entered the hall and saw a person kneeling. He couldn't help but say, "Who is this?"

Tao Modao: "History of this county, Cui Jiong."

Cui Jiong's face was red. After so long in history, he still knelt on the ground for the first time to be visited.

The old Tao surprised: "How to kneel on the ground?"

Tao Mo shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

Cui Jiong snorted coldly.

Old Tao knew that there was a reason inside, but it was not easy to ask face to face, so he had to say: "I haven't helped Cui Dianshi yet."

Tao Mo stooped to help, and his hands just touched his sleeves, and Cui Jiong stood up on his own.

Tao Mo pointed at the person brought by Lao Tao and asked, "Who are they?"

"New domestic servant." Old Tao said, "Yamen also needs someone to clean the facade."

Cui Jiong came here early, originally intended to take this job, but now they are happy to let them go to work.

Tao Mo worried: "So much?"

Old Tao said: "There can be no less."

Tao Mo sighed: "I still don't know when I can get the salary."

Speaking of Feng Lu, Cui Jiong had a fire in his heart. Conventionally, the imperial court issued carbon silver every year, which is equivalent to a red envelope for the New Year. But this year, due to the death of Zhang Jingyuan, and Tao Mo was not in the term of office, this silver coin has no movement. He asked the classic history of the neighboring county and said that they had sent it down a few days earlier. It can be seen that the carbon silver is not gone, but went to someone else's purse.

Old Tao brought the servants down, leaving Tao Mo and Cui Jiong to stare at each other in the hall.

Suddenly.

Tao Mo took the lead in saying, "Have you eaten?"

Cui Jiong said: "Eat."

Tao Mo sighed: "I haven't. Have better eat together."

Cui Jiong twitched his mouth and said, "I have eaten."

Tao Modao: "How about lunch?"

"..." Cui Jiong said: "Not yet."

"Let’s eat together."

Eat white porridge with pickles.

Cui Jiong drank slowly, and the soy milk fritters he had eaten when he came were running around in the belly.

Tao Mo was relished.

"Master, is it delicious?" Hao Guoguo came in from outside.

Tao Modao: "For Cui Dianshi."

Cui Jiong was bloated, and finally took a sigh of relief. He continued to say: "Good, good."

Hao Guoguo closed the window with satisfaction.

Cui Jiong said: "This talent is..."

"My little brother." Tao Mo said.

Cui Jiong said: "Adult must come from Shuxiangmendi, poetry and heirloom."

Tao Modao: "Are you talking about calligraphy and painting?"

Cui Jiong said: "Oh? Master can calligraphy and painting?"

Tao Modao: "None."

"Adult is humble." Cui Jiong naturally knew that he was bought by the officer, but since the other party gave him off, don't blame him for the pain.

Tao Modao: "In so many famous sayings of the ancients, I only remember one sentence."

"Which sentence?"

"One useless is a scholar."

Cui Jiong greatly agreed. He was born in Wufu. Because he failed to take the martial arts test, the trustee made a pawn. Also donated, he felt that he still had some real material, so on weekdays, he was not used to those who are all in the world, and he thought that he was a high-ranking literati. Especially in Tanyang County, there is not much in this place, and there are the most literati. And all of them are literati with quicker mouths than knives.

Tao Mo saw him suddenly quiet down and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Cui Jiong said: "Nothing, just remembered a case."

"Case?" Tao Mo's spirit rose, "What case?"

Cui Jiong was originally bullshit. Where did he think of the case? When asked by him like this, he did not answer it. He thought about it: "It was a case a few years ago. A woman committed adultery and killed her husband. "

Tao Mo wondered: "How come Ping Bai remembered this case?"

Cui Jiong said: "The woman's husband is a butcher and the adulterer is a local talent. After the incident, several friends of Xiucai fought this relationship for him. In the end, only the woman was sentenced and the talent was free."

Tao Mo frowned: "Did the talent be ignorant?"

"A woman in every district, can you kill a butcher with bare hands? It is clearly a quibble." Cui Jiong sneered. "The lawyers thought that they had read a few years, and the debate was harmless. It’s a hate for the game, it’s a black and white tongue to reverse right and wrong, to deceive the ignorant people!"

Tao Mo was filled with indignation when he heard what he said, but he was confused, "Who are you talking about?"

Cui Jiong accused him and said, "I will know it for a few more days in Tanyang County." He drank the white porridge on his face and casually found a reason. He hurried to leave without waiting for Tao Mo to stay.

After he left, old Tao knocked on the door and came in.

"Master, I have inquired. The county's prefecture and the main book are vacant, temporarily part-time work." Lao Tao looked at the empty bowl on the table and said, "It's just why he knelt in front of the young master. "

"I don't know." Tao Mo will see Cui Jiong's things one by one.

Old Tao frowned as he listened: "I'm afraid he misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?"

"It's nothing." He waved his hand. "He doesn't matter. The most important thing here is the lawyer in his mouth."

"Lawist?"

Tao Tao said: "Not bad. The two most famous litigants in the world, Lin Zhengyong and Mr. Yi Hao, were all hiding in Diaoyu Township in Tanyang County.

Tao Mo's eyes lit up.

The old Tao shook his head and said: "Young Master Mo forgets the old man's instructions before he died. If you can be a good official to be praised by everyone, it is the best reward for the old man in the Spirit of Heaven."

Tao Mo's eyes were slightly dark.

"After the two famous lawyers retired, they attracted many lawyers to come to the teacher. Over time, this has become the world's largest gathering of lawyers." Lao Tao frowned when he heard the news. No wonder Tao Mo didn't take anyone's path, and he was also assigned to such a rich county, which turned out to be a hot potato that everyone dare not touch.

Tao Modao: "So, do these lawyers fight against the government?"

"It can't be generalized," Old Tao said in a pause. "Good lawyers and good officials naturally stand on the same line."

Tao Mozhan said: "Yes. So, they can be in Tanyang County, but it is the blessing of Tanyang County."

Old Tao opened his mouth, after all, he didn't have the heart to crack down on his passion.

Although good lawyers and good officials are online, before Tao Mo becomes a truly respected and recognized good official, I am afraid that not only good lawyers will not be with him, but even evil lawyers will suppress him everywhere.

It is reported that Zhang Jingyuan's short life is not related to long-term depression.

He sighed. This is the end of the matter, and only one step can be taken.

Introducing Tao Mo to the new servants, and let Hao Guozi arrange their daily affairs, the old Tao took Tao Mo out for a walk.

As a county official, you must be familiar with the grass and trees under your jurisdiction.

The two were familiar with the street first, and walked back and forth along the east-west road.

By the end of the day, it was already dark.

Old Tao saw that Tao Mo's face was pale, remembering that he had just recovered, and secretly blamed himself for being too aggressive. He said: "Let's find a tea house after dinner and go back."

Tao Mo is so hungry that there is no reason for it.

The two found a teahouse with a hot facade nearby.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a loud voice standing in the hall and shouted, "If you want to know what the new official looks like, the three copper plates are very detailed!"
