That county magistrate Hong Dong is directing Ye Xiaotian, taunted: „Under foot this gown is of Sichuan brocade, head that headwrap is the huzhou silk, this hairpin was the semi-transparent jade, the gem on waist that band shakes my eye quickly blindly! Oh, the pavilion puts one's foot down this double azure satin black leather boots to be very fine, light/only works on 22 money?” 那位洪东知县指点着叶小天,冷嘲热讽道:“足下这袭袍子是蜀锦的罢,头上那顶幞头是湖丝的,这根簪子是羊脂玉,腰间那条带子上的宝石都快把我的眼晃瞎了！哎哟,阁下脚上这双青缎黑皮靴好不精致,光做工就得二两银子吧？” This appearance like a county magistrate saying of county magistrate, the officials did not respond absolutely immediately, called continually „shameless”. 这位打扮绝对不像一个知县的知县如此一说,众官员立即纷纷响应,连称“无耻”。 Ye Xiaotian sincere say/way: „Has not to know, this officer set of actor is actually borrows.” 叶小天正色道:“诸位有所不知,本官这套行头其实是借来的。” „Pū!” “噗！” Drinking tea prefectural magistrate Zhang tea choked, points at Ye Xiaotian to laugh loudly, the officials also laugh to continue. 正在喝茶的张知府一口茶水呛了出来,指着叶小天放声大笑,众官员也都大笑不止。 Ye Xiaotian serious said/tunnel: „Why to laugh, this officer are true, this actor, indeed borrows from gentries. The rich attire is poor, without the attire of money is extravagant......” 叶小天一本正经地道:“诸位何必发笑,本官句句属实啊,这身行头,的确是向一位士绅借来的。有钱的装穷,没钱的装阔啊……” A these words saying, the people laughter stopped suddenly. 这句话一说,众人笑声戛然而止。 Ye Xiaotian said: „Rich person has money, others are for fear that keeping thinking, naturally must install poorly, but my and other true poor people, exempts can not injure oneself in putting on a vain show, for fear that others look down upon. Actually this officer really poor very much, the salary was diverted, one -and-a-half years have not sent, now can only earn a living by the pawn. In family/home penniless, poor is only left over pants, when who goes out who then puts on, thinks......” 叶小天道:“富人有钱,生怕别人惦记着,当然要装穷了,而我这等真正的穷人呢,免不要就要打肿脸充胖子,生怕人家瞧不起。其实本官真的穷的很,俸禄被挪用,有一年半不曾发下来了,如今只能靠典当过活。家里一贫如洗,穷的只剩下一条裤子,谁出门时谁便穿着,想起来就……” Ye Xiaotian lifts sets out, wipes tears that the corner of the eye did not have, the officials only hear dumbfoundedly, this person was also too shameless. They said on at most own gown had a patch, in the family/home two days ate a fragrant pork, is really unable shamelessly to saying entire family only remains words of pants. 叶小天抬起身,擦了擦眼角并不存在的眼泪,众官员只听得目瞪口呆,这人也太无耻了吧。他们顶多说自己袍子上打了一个补丁,家里两天才吃一顿香猪肉,实在无法厚颜无耻到说出全家只剩一条裤子的话来。 Ye Xiaotian takes words one, if they exposed to the sun again poorly became, because too feared richly was kept thinking, was really absurd. wears Chonghua cannot help smiling smiles to cough two, said to Ye Xiaotian: „Leaf county deputy. Do not chat before Sir prefectural magistrate.” 况且叶小天这么拿话一堵,他们要是再晒穷就成了因为太有钱怕被人惦记了,真是岂有此理。戴崇华忍俊不禁地笑咳了两声,对叶小天道:“叶县丞。在知府大人面前就不要说笑了。” Ye Xiaotian said: „Wears the same knowledge, the lower official has not really lain. This time comes the Tongren city mansion business, lower official because of pouch in shy, yesterday only bought dried persimmon to appease hunger in the Qingping Street crossroad. For economizing, can only stay for temporary lodging in Dabei Temple. Is really poor!” 叶小天道:“戴同知,下官真的没有撒谎啊。这次来铜仁府公干,下官因囊中羞涩,昨日只在清平街路口买了点柿饼子充饥。为了省钱,只能借住在大悲寺里。真的是穷啊！” wears Chonghua the complexion immediately changes. If Ye Xiaotian only raises lodges in Dabei Temple, he is not necessarily have what idea, but the Qingping Street crossroad and dried persimmon child relate. This suggestion was too obvious, wears Chonghua deeply looked at Ye Xiaotian one, to the prefectural magistrate Zhang in a low voice whisper several. 戴崇华脸色顿时一变。如果叶小天只提寄宿在大悲寺,他未必会有什么想法,但清平街路口和柿饼子联系起来。这暗示就太明显了,戴崇华深深地望了叶小天一眼,对张知府低声耳语了几句。 prefectural magistrate Zhang thinks, selected the obese chin, said: „, since still had the objection. That this official considered in detail your opinions to consider, this official to be somewhat deficient again quite, you first drew back.” 张知府想了想,把肥胖的下巴点了点,道:“诸位既然尚有异议。那本府就参详你们的意见再好生考虑一下,本府有些乏了,你们先退下吧。” Ye Xiaotian shows a faint smile, said submissively: „Lower official asks to be excused!” These resulted in the official of share to be greatly disappointed, but prefectural magistrate Zhang, since said that they are not good to stickle, has to ask to be excused in advance. Even if previously had what to discuss, still after must accommodate, said. 叶小天微微一笑,拱手道:“下官告退！”那些本来多得了分成的官员大失所望,但张知府既然这么说了,他们也不好坚持己见,只好先行告退。即便先前有什么商议,也得容后再说。 Ye Xiaotian had/left prefectural magistrate yamen (government office), however moves toward own guard leisurely, just received the horse reins from the guard hand, some people raise the sound said the suddenly: „Leaf county deputy. Please hold your steps.” 叶小天出了知府衙门,施施然地走向自己的侍卫,刚刚从侍卫手中接过马缰绳,身后突有人扬声道:“叶县丞。请留步。” Ye Xiaotian is not surprised, slowly has transferred the body, sees that person that catches up with anxiously anxiously from the mansion alley is to really wear the same knowledge, wears with knowing moves toward Ye Xiaotian at the same time, side including saying with a smile: „In relay station deputy is fully occupied the matter that this officer just knows, the Sir lodging temple is not really appropriate, can need this officer to arrange a dwelling for you?” 叶小天毫不惊讶,慢慢地转过身子,就见从府衙里急急赶出来的那人果然是戴同知,戴同知一边走向叶小天,一边含笑道:“驿丞里人满为患的的事,本官刚刚知道,大人寄宿寺院不甚妥当,可需本官为你安排个住处啊？” wears Tongzhi was saying has arrived at side Ye Xiaotian, look suddenly one cold, lowers the sound saying: „Your big courage, dares to stare at the tree top of this officer unexpectedly!” 戴同知说着已经走到叶小天身边,神色忽然一冷,压低声音道:“你好大胆子,居然敢盯本官的梢！” Ye Xiaotian bright sound said: „Has Sir Lao, the lower official looks in that temple but actually also quiet, then lived previous also to might as well on several th.” At once lowers the sound, the smiling said/tunnel: „Sir misunderstood, how dare the lower official tracks the Sir, to reach the goal. Yesterday the lower official was went to the clear wave street to visit Li Jiaoyu, went via Qingping Street. In as for Dabei Temple, is because the lower official goes to stay overnight in somebody's home, is purely the coincidence.” 叶小天朗声道:“有劳大人,下官看那寺中倒还清静,便住上几日也无妨。”旋即压低声音,笑眯眯地道:“大人误会了,下官岂敢跟踪大人,挟人以达目的。昨日下官本来是去清浪街拜访黎教谕的,路经清平街。至于大悲寺中的一幕嘛,也是因为下官前往借宿,纯属巧合啊。” wears Chonghua the complexion hesitates erratically, is unable to determine that actually Ye Xiaotian said is really false, but own personal secrets matter has been known by him, was actually the determination without doubt, wears Chonghua sinking sound said: „How then you do want?” 戴崇华脸色犹疑不定,无法确定叶小天所言究竟是真是假,但自己的私隐事已经被他知道,却是确定无疑的了,戴崇华沉声道:“那么你想怎样？” Ye Xiaotian gentleman broad and level said/tunnel: „Not to mention you are the boss I for the subordinate, the lower official do not want to offend. Even if your my share is the colleague, is not the gentleman behavior, how dare Ye at this dead weight, forces the Sir to be adopted by us.” 叶小天君子坦荡荡地道:“且不说您是上司我为下属,下官不想得罪。就算你我份属同僚,挟人也非君子行为,叶某又岂敢以此自重,挟迫大人为我所用。” wears Chonghua sneers saying: „Yes, did you raise this matter to do really?” 戴崇华冷笑道:“是么,那你提起此事做甚？” Ye Xiaotian sincere said/tunnel: „Lower official is a good intention, the lower official can see, unavoidably will not be seen by others, the Sir later deserves more careful is.” 叶小天诚恳地道:“下官乃是一番好意,下官看得见,难免不会被别人看见,大人以后该当小心些才是。” wears Chonghua Nie vision he was saying: „This?” 戴崇华乜视着他道:“就这样？” Ye Xiaotian coughs clear, shy said/tunnel: „Franking, the Hu county situation is embarrassed, urgently needed relief fund, if reduces 30% unable, in addition five mature again deals with reluctantly. If the Sir thinks of gratefully good intent of lower official, can before Sir prefectural magistrate for lower official fine talk several, the lower official be is also deeply grateful.” 叶小天清咳一声,羞涩地道:“实不相瞒,葫县情形窘迫,急需赈款,若是削减30%万万不能,再加五成才勉强应付。大人若感念下官的一番美意,能够在知府大人面前为下官美言几句,下官也是感激不尽的。” wears Chonghua sneers a sound said: „Exempts discussed!” 戴崇华冷笑一声道:“免谈！” wears Chonghua flicks the sleeve then walks, Ye Xiaotian traded a villain distressed countenance to say: „If in the work places some what hearsay, the Sir remembers really surely is not the lower official will divulge absolutely.” 戴崇华拂袖便走,叶小天换了一副小人长戚戚的嘴脸道:“若是坊间果真有些什么传闻,大人千万记得绝对不会是下官泄露啊。” wears Chonghua one transferred suddenly, clenching jaws said/tunnel: „Actually can you how?” 戴崇华霍地一下又转了回来,咬牙切齿地道:“你究竟要怎么样？” Ye Xiaotian looking distressed said/tunnel: „Sir, the lower official is really short of money!” 叶小天愁眉苦脸地道:“大人,下官真的缺钱呐！” wears Chonghua said: „I am also open about the facts you, in the past for this relief fund, various group of troops was eight immortals crossing the sea, showed special prowess, this year your Hu county comes was also late, others have taken the method, wants to strive for one, was difficult such as to ascend to heaven.” 戴崇华道:“我也不瞒你,往年里为了这笔赈款,各路人马便是八仙过海,各显神通,今年你葫县来的又晚,旁人早就走好了门路,想多争取一份,都是难如登天。” The Ye Xiaotian saliva the face was saying: „Therefore asked the Sir you to aid!” 叶小天涎着脸道:“因此才请大人您援手啊！” wears Chonghua the calm face said: „, The comparison in the past, I added 10% to you again, permits your Hu county old times 80% relief funds, how?” 戴崇华沉着脸道:“也罢,比照往年,我再给你加回10%,许你葫县往年的八成赈款,如何？” Ye Xiaotian said: „80% are too really few, the comparison in the past, added 40% much, exactly good.” 叶小天道:“八成实在太少,比照往年,多加40%,恰恰好。” wears Chonghua said: „Is absolutely impossible! My this has give away 10% that this officer can control, you do not want not satisfied with small gains!” 戴崇华道:“绝无可能！我这已是让出了本官能够支配的10%,你不要得寸进尺！” Ye Xiaotian bows with one hand cupped in the other saying: „Also asked the Sir to help!” 叶小天长揖道:“还请大人成全！” wears Chonghua stamps the feet, said: „, permits you 90%! Cannot be many absolutely. Otherwise pats two powder, you publicize by all means that if this officer brings ruin and shame upon oneself, could not forgive you absolutely!” 戴崇华跺了跺脚,道:“罢了罢了,许你90%！绝对不能再多了。要不然一拍两散,你只管宣扬,本官若是身败名裂,也绝对饶不了你！” A Ye Xiaotian very painful appearance, intertwines the long time, clenches teeth saying: „! The Sir so upholds justice, how could the lower official is ignorant of the proper action to take......” 叶小天一副痛苦不堪的模样,纠结半晌,才咬咬牙道:“罢了！大人如此仗义,下官岂能不知进退……” wears Chonghua a complexion clearing weather, listens to Ye Xiaotian saying: „That...... added 30% according to the old times old example again. Really cannot be short again, otherwise, the lower official rather not takes a single cent, such words then arouse the people chaotic, some lower official also words saying, if took the relief fund also to have an accident, the lower official cancould get away with it.” 戴崇华脸色一霁,就听叶小天道:“那就……比照往年旧例再加30%吧。实在是不能再少了,要不然,下官宁可分文不取,那样的话既便激起民乱,下官也有话说,若是拿了赈款还出事,下官就罪责难逃了。” wears Chonghua stare looks at Ye Xiaotian, wishes one could to nip the morality that the meat gets down from him, is refusing to compromise, listens to some people to call suddenly said: „wears did brother, near noon, how go together to drink wine?” 戴崇华直眉瞪眼地看着叶小天,一副恨不得从他身上咬块肉下来的德性,正僵持着,忽听有人唤道:“戴兄,近午了,同去吃酒如何？” Ye Xiaotian and wears Chonghua simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform turns head to look, sees the side wing to walk one person slowly, the shoulder rocks slightly, as if must with person wrestling, the moon-face clam mouth, both eyes be tall and slender, Ye Xiaotian and wears Chonghua the brow jumps simultaneously: Li Jingli? 叶小天和戴崇华齐齐扭头一看,就见侧厢缓缓走来一人,肩膀微微晃动,仿佛要跟人摔跤似的,圆脸蛤口,双目细长,叶小天和戴崇华同时眉头一跳:李经历？ Li Jingli arrives at the front, sized up Ye Xiaotian one curiously, said: „wears brother, this is?” 李经历走到面前,好奇地打量了叶小天一眼,道:“戴兄,这位是？” wears Chonghua said to Ye Xiaotian smilingly: „Comes, I present the presentation to you. This is our mansion after Jingli of hall, the surnamed Li name to the glory, with Dai sentiment with brothers.” 戴崇华笑容可掬地对叶小天道:“来来来,我给你们引见引见。这位是我们府经厅的经历,姓李名向荣,与戴某情同兄弟。” wears Chonghua racket shoulder of Li Jingli, intimate said/tunnel: „Brother Li, this is Hu county county deputy Ye Xiaotian, with Dai is also the good brothers.” 戴崇华又拍拍李经历的肩膀,亲热地道:“李老弟,这位是葫县县丞叶小天,与戴某也是好兄弟。” „It is not! Absolutely is not!” “不是！绝对不是！” Ye Xiaotian hurries to state, Li Jingli is surprised however looks to Ye Xiaotian: „This boy responded that so to be how intense?” 叶小天赶紧声明,李经历诧然看向叶小天:“这厮反应怎么这般强烈？” Ye Xiaotian hollow laugh two, cast aside scavenges: „Wore with knowing really to favor, went to the government position slightly position inferior, secure Gan and Sir were on intimate terms.” 叶小天干笑两声,撇清道:“戴同知实在是太抬举在下了,下官职微位卑,安敢与大人称兄道弟。” Li Jingli looks at they not very ripe appearance, thinks that wears with knowing is polite with this leaf county deputy, has not thought that access road/simply said: „In view of this, Li plays the host, our three people go together to drink wine.” 李经历瞧他二人不似很熟的模样,以为戴同知是跟这位叶县丞客气,也未多想,便道:“既如此,李某作东,咱们三人同去吃酒吧。” Ye Xiaotian busy say/way: „Lower official also has the matter, really cannot delay, has lost/carrying Li Jingting good intent. Might as well give a banquet by the lower official another day, the invitation wears the same knowledge to visit with Li Jingting.” Was saying to wearing the same knowledge cups one hand in the other across the chest saying: „Wears the same knowledge, the matter of lower official entrusting, had the work you to take the trouble.” 叶小天忙道:“下官还有事情,实在不能耽搁,有负李经厅美意了。不如改天由下官设宴,邀请戴同知与李经厅光临。”说着向戴同知拱拱手道:“戴同知,下官托付之事,有劳您多费心了啊。” In front of Li Jingli, wore with knowing cannot say what, has the encouraging said/tunnel: „That matter, Dai with every effort and that's the end, but do not hug too in a big way hope, really pressed the person.” 当着李经历的面,戴同知不能说什么,只好勉为其难地道:“那件事,戴某尽力就是了,只是你也不要抱太大希望,实在难为人了。” Ye Xiaotian said: „Is is, has the work to have the work, the lower official awaits calmly the good news!” 叶小天道:“是是是,有劳有劳,下官静候佳音！” A little toothache looks that wears the same knowledge good brothers to put arms around shoulders to drink wine to „bridge with Li Jingli this continually”, Ye Xiaotian then returned to Dabei Temple, considers in the monk's room carefully: He and prefectural magistrate Zhang that fragrant state, surely does not have these perpetual hereditary ranks headmen Tongren city the component in the prefectural magistrate Zhang heart to be heavy, wants to make prefectural magistrate Zhang look after is impossible. 有点牙疼地看着戴同知与李经历这对“连桥”好兄弟勾肩搭背地吃酒去,叶小天便回到了大悲寺,在禅房内细细思量一番:他与张知府那点香火情,肯定没有那些世袭罔替的铜仁土司们在张知府心中份量重,想让张知府有所照顾是不可能的。 In addition, he in the Tongren city only personal connection was Li Jiaoyu, but Israel , Lebanon taught the energy of edict, can strive to official archive to a fund reluctantly, made him give dual attention to itself unable again, now the only hope can only pin on this wears with knowing the body. 除此之外,他在铜仁唯一的人脉就是黎教谕了,而以黎教谕的能量,勉强能给府学争取到一笔款子,再让他兼顾自己也是万万不能,如今唯一的希望只能寄托在这位戴同知身上。 However this wears with knowing, although has the handle in his hand, can actually play the major role is not possible to know. Actually even if wears with knowing really manages does not accomplish, he is impossible to publicize outward, because this actually not that female is Li Jiaoyu the daughter, because not helpfuls but harmful to him. 但是这位戴同知虽有把柄在他手上,究竟能发挥多大作用尚未可知。其实就算戴同知真的办不成事,他也不可能向外宣扬,这倒不是因为那个女子是黎教谕的女儿,而是因为对他有害无益。 Destroyed the female fame and integrity, if the female lives on the edge, that damages the good deeds done in secret. But wore the same knowledge also became enemies thoroughly, what advantage did he have? Where harms others but not benefit oneself, but this plan cannot make the same knowledge look, so wears with knowing can whole-heartedly. 毁了人家女子名节,万一那女子寻死觅活的,那就是损阴德啊。而戴同知这边也算是彻底结下了梁子,他有什么好处？何处损人不利己呢,只不过这个打算不能让戴同知看出来,如此戴同知才会全力以赴。 If what to do but wears with knowing real the ability is limited? He the rough estimate had crossed, really needs to take 50% compared with the old times again, can smoothly solve the problem that Hu county faces now, if could not be this number even less than the old times...... 可是如果戴同知真的能力有限怎么办呢？他已经匡算过了,真的需要比往年再多拿50%,才能顺利解决葫县如今面临的问题,如果达不到这个数目甚至少于往年…… Thinks it over, Ye Xiaotian then takes pen in hand, writes down these situations in detail, the sealing wax seal, calls the person to return to Hu county immediately, this important matter, he does not dare to undertake single-handedly, must call county head magistrate Hua some preparations to be first good. The letter/believes hands over, Ye Xiaotian also the injunction said: „You delivered the letter/believes, then goes to the marketplaces to disseminate a news......” 思来想去,叶小天便提起笔来,把这些情形详细写下,火漆封口,唤人立即送回葫县,这种大事,他可不敢独力承担,总要叫花知县先有些心理准备才好。信交出去,叶小天又嘱咐道:“你送了信,便去市井间散播一条消息……” : At the end of the month, to various Youqiu the monthly ticket! :月末了,向诸友求月票！ ( To be continued.(.))
