After vast momentum, affects big questioning of county, the Hu county government authorities to peddler to start with carriages and horses line of visiting and searching of become lax, this makes the businessmen relax greatly. 在一场声势浩大、波及全县的大盘查之后,葫县官府对行商和车马行的临检开始变得松懈下来,这让商贾们大大地松了口气。 The bailiff in yamen (government office), serves the rich and powerful by literary hack work with these that service bailiff bullies the weak by relying on powerful connections particularly, the itself is the person who one crowd of coercions profit, usually have no reason also to find the profiting at the expense of the state water of excuse from them, now had the right excuse, that is really burdensome, now is finally relaxed. 衙门里的捕快,尤其是跟着正役捕快狐假虎威的那些帮闲,本就是一群吃拿卡要占便宜的主儿,平时没理由还要找理由从他们身上揩油水,如今有了正当借口,那真是不胜其烦,现在总算轻松了。 But government authorities, although reduced to their daily questioning, actually strengthened in Hu county relay station exit|to speak last checkpoint to questioning of departure cargo. Here originally only then the tax card, supposes tax Ding together in this, the collection going out cargo taxes, now beside in Shuiding are also many one group of bailiffs. 可官府虽然减少了对他们的日常盘查,却在葫县驿道出口的最后一道关卡处加强了对出境货物的盘查。这里本来只有一道税卡,设税丁于此,征收出关货物税赋,现在于税丁之外又多了一群捕快。 Then naturally will slow the speed of traveler, some gentries then whereabouts county head magistrate Hua complain, county head magistrate Hua then looks to inquire the situation Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian grumbles to say to him: „ County magistrate Sir, what pale you listens to them to pull, they only strove for conveniently, who would have thought the hardship of lower official? 如此一来当然会拖慢行旅的速度,一些士绅便去向花知县大发牢骚,花知县便把叶小天找来询问情况,叶小天向他大吐苦水道:“县尊大人,你听他们扯什么淡,他们只求方便,哪知下官的苦处呢？ The royal government once were discovered to sell the smuggled goods to ban, then pressed gets down a layer upon layer, finally must the whereabouts in Xiaguantou. If the lower officials do not work, that is the lower official is negligent the duty. The lower officials work, some people said this and that actually the lower official was works or does not work, did the people who must how be able to let high and low about satisfy? This card located there, the lower official also has to explain to, if removed, who undertakes? ” 朝廷一经发现贩私贩禁,便一层层地压下来,最后总要着落在下官头上。下官若是不做事,那是下官怠乎职守。下官做事,又有人来说三道四,那下官究竟是做事还是不做事,要怎样才能让上下左右的人都满意？这个卡设在那儿,下官对上也有个交待,如果撤了,谁来承担？” Hua Qingfeng listened to Ye Xiaotian this discontent, holds one's nose to recognize, compared to Ye Xiaotian, he thought these gentries are better to send. The Hua Qingfeng forced smile said: „this county knows certainly your difficulty. That checkpoint is supposing, but, you must restrain the subordinate, does not get the coercion, extorts the bribe, makes the action of harassing. You go busily.” 花晴风听了叶小天这番牢骚,也就捏着鼻子认了,相对于叶小天,他还是觉得那些士绅们更好打发一些。花晴风苦笑道:“本县当然知道你的难处。那关卡就设着吧,不过,你一定要约束部属,不得吃拿卡要,勒索受贿,做出扰民之举。你去忙吧。” „It is not busy, the county magistrate Sir, the lower official is having the matter to you tell.” “不忙,县尊大人,下官正有事情要跟你说。” Ye Xiaotian him planned that the issue document Tongren city mansion, demanded the matter of border crossing case power said to Hua Qingfeng. To the Tongren city mansion application border crossing case power, this county magistrate acts. If he bypasses county magistrate to greet to above, that and Xu Boyi beforehand action had no difference. 叶小天把他打算行文铜仁府,索要越境办案权的事对花晴风说了一遍。向铜仁府申请越境办案权,这得县太爷出面。如果他绕过县太爷自己向上面打招呼,那和徐伯夷之前的举动就没什么区别了。 Xu Boyi does, if succeeded, can reach the sky in a single bound, entered the Son of Heaven discernment, violated some taboos, to offend the colleague not to matter, Ye Xiaotian such chance, cannot certainly make to make the matter that one looked askance. 徐伯夷那么做要是成功了,就能一步登天,入了天子法眼,犯些忌讳、得罪同僚也无所谓了,叶小天没有这样的机缘,当然不能做出如此令人侧目的事来。 Hua Qingfeng hear of Ye Xiaotian said, frowns saying: „Do you want to go to big ten thousand mountain Si to investigate? Leaf county deputy, this county, if has not sold the thief who the smuggled goods ban, that is the good deed, it is necessary to go into the neighboring county to toss about?” 花晴风听叶小天说罢,蹙眉道:“你想去大万山司查案？叶县丞,本县如果没有贩私贩禁的大盗,那是好事啊,有必要跑到邻县去折腾吗？” Ye Xiaotian said: „ County magistrate Sir, you also said that if, if this county does not have the selling smuggled goods thief, that is naturally best. Feared that fears to have, but is the hidden is too deep, we have not discovered. If such, is your I neglects duty. The lower officials think good that or checks. 叶小天道:“县尊大人,你也说如果,如果本县没有贩私大盗,那自然最好。怕就怕不是没有,而是隐藏太深,咱们没有发现啊。如果是那样,就是你我失职。下官以为还是查一查的好。 Our previous county investigates thoroughly, actually not too big harvest, if appears in the Burmese country money of Central Plain city Fu as before continuously, when the time comes above will push this matter on us, was being compelled doing with it by above, is inferior to us on own initiative. ” 咱们上一次全县彻查,其实并没有太大的收获,如果出现在中原城阜的缅国财货依旧源源不断,到时候上头还是会把这件事推在咱们身上,与其被上头逼着干,不如咱们主动为之。” „Un......” “嗯……” Hua Qingfeng caresses the beard to hesitate, their these are an official like the bird of prey beast of prey of animal kingdom, everyone has his domain, invades others' domain is the quite sensitive matter, will not be good to make that the good-neighborliness will become enemies. Hua Qingfeng has scruples in this, the thinking long time, said: „This matter, allowing this county to consider to make the decision again.” 花晴风抚着胡须踌躇起来,他们这些当官的就像动物王国的一只只猛禽猛兽,每个人都有他的地盘,侵入别人的领域是相当敏感的事情,一个不好就会弄得睦邻成仇。花晴风顾忌于此,思索半晌,才道:“这件事,容本县思量一下再做决定吧。” Ye Xiaotian is helpless, has saying: „That also becomes. This matter must make up mind as soon as possible. Moreover, if my county really has the selling smuggled goods thief in hidden, inevitable too many people around, this matter you know me to know well, the county magistrate Sir does not may make widely known, asked others to know again.” 叶小天无奈,只好说道:“那也成。只是,此事还需尽快拿定主意。另外,如果我县确有隐藏的贩私大盗,必然耳目众多,此事你知我知就好,县尊大人万万不可张扬出去,再叫他人知道。” The Hua Qingfeng smile, said: „this county nature, avoid.” 花晴风微笑,道:“本县自然省得。” Ye Xiaotian said goodbye submissively, Hua Qingfeng sat down the consideration for a while, has called a young male servant, told: „You go, asking registrar Wang to come.” 叶小天拱手告辞,花晴风坐下思量一阵儿,唤过一个小厮,吩咐道:“你去,请王主簿来一趟。” Before long, registrar Wang arrives at two, Hua Qingfeng asks him to take a seat, to him said the request that Ye Xiaotian set, was worried asked: „registrar Wang, the border crossing handles a case, can appeared too long, if causes the big ten thousand mountain Si officials who our hands extend what to do to be discontented?” 不一会儿,王主簿就来到二堂,花晴风请他就座,把叶小天提出的要求对他说了一遍,担心地问道:“王主簿,越境办案,会不会显得咱们的手伸的太长了,若是引起大万山司的官员们不满怎么办？” The registrar Wang vision concentrates, blurts to ask: „Leaf does county deputy think the border crossing investigation? Is it possible that what vital clue has he had?” 王主簿目光一凝,脱口问道:“叶县丞想越境查案？莫非他已经掌握了什么重要线索？” Hua Qingfeng shakes the head saying: „That does not have, the action that but my county investigates Jiaofan smuggled goods ban although slightly catches on, but from ferreting out goods, cannot with selling tallies to the Central Plain native of Burma smuggled goods, leaf county deputy was worried that the Burmese country smuggled goods continuously, on the front must allocate his head this responsibility as before the time comes, there is nothing like investigates on own initiative.” 花晴风摇头道:“那倒没有,只是我县查剿贩私贩禁的举措虽然略见成效,可是从查获的物品来看,并没有能与贩至中原的缅人私货相符的,叶县丞担心缅国私货依旧源源不断,到时候上锋还是要把这个责任摊派到他的头上,莫不如主动勘查。” „So that's how it is......” “原来如此……” registrar Wang twisted the beard to think deeply about one, was slowly typical: „County magistrate Sir does not need scruples what, big ten thousand mountain Si is the hereditary ethnic minority appointee, we are actually the local officials of royal government, is not a passer-by, discussed that what colleague is harmonious, if can therefore hold to sell the chief criminal who the smuggled goods ban, without doubt is great merit one.” 王主簿捻着胡须思索了一阵,缓缓地道:“县尊大人不必顾忌什么,大万山司是世袭的土官,咱们却是朝廷的流官,不是一路人,谈什么同僚和睦,若能因此抓住贩私贩禁的罪魁祸首,无疑是大功一件。” Hua Qingfeng said: „Said, you also felt, should demand the power of border crossing case to Sir prefectural magistrate?” 花晴风道:“这么说,你也觉得,该向知府大人索要越境办案之权了？” registrar Wang shows a faint smile, said to Hua Qingfeng: „County magistrate Sir, was so long, haven't you understood the leaf county deputy temperament? He was determined matter that must do, who can prevent. This person is obstinate, if the county magistrate Sir did not agree, he bypasses county magistrate direct whereabouts Sir prefectural magistrate to plead, by him and teachers and students friendship of Sir prefectural magistrate, ten can become, at the appointed time was the county magistrate Sir you were instead unpopular everywhere and with everybody, there is nothing like pushed the boat along, pours also appears the Sir you to eliminate evil thoroughly the determination.” 王主簿微微一笑,对花晴风道:“县尊大人,这么久了,难道你还不了解叶县丞的脾气么？他决心要做的事,有谁能阻挡得了。此人性情执拗,如果县尊大人不同意,他绕过县尊直接去向知府大人请命,以他和知府大人的师生情谊,十之能成,到时反是县尊大人你里外不是人了,莫不如顺水推舟,倒也显出大人您除恶务尽之决心。” Hua Qingfeng savored carefully registrar Wang words, slowly the nod name is. He pondering, but is worried to offend the neighboring county bureaucrat, but listens to a registrar Wang analysis, by the Ye Xiaotian temperament mental disposition, he did not agree even, this matter could not prevent, at the appointed time the neighboring county will calculate this matter in his head. 花晴风仔细品味了一下王主簿的话,缓缓点头称是。他所虑者,只是担心得罪邻县官僚,但是听王主簿一番分析,以叶小天的脾气秉性,就算他不同意,这件事也阻止不了,到时邻县还是会把这件事算在他的头上。 In any case the opposite party is an ethnic minority appointee, he is a local official, both distinguish right from wrong, since this result is eventually unavoidable, is inferior more positive, if Ye Xiaotian really cracks the case, he can also share benefit a merit, thinks of here, Hua Qingfeng has decided. 反正对方是土官,他是流官,两者泾渭分明,既然这个结果终究难免,不如积极一些,万一叶小天真的破获大案,他也可以从中分润一份功劳,想到这里,花晴风已经打定主意。 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Behind the relay station has a creek, the river water two banks are overgrown with weeds, person of high weeds, are very luxuriant, late autumn the season, some weeds have exuded the withered and yellow color. On a river bank big stone, is suspending two rush cushions, Ye Xiaotian and Zhao Wenyuan sits on a rush cushion respectively, is fishing in the static rivers. 驿站后面有一条小河,河水两畔杂草丛生,一人多高的野草,十分繁茂,深秋季节,有些野草已经泛起了枯黄的颜色。河畔一块大石上,摆着两张蒲团,叶小天和赵文远各自坐在一张蒲团上,正在静静的河流上垂钓。 The late autumn sky clear and bright lofty, deep blue piece, white clouds reflect in limpid Hasuri, breeze Buddha come, in the mixed thick patch of grass is slight rustling sound, making the heart of person then calm down unknowingly. 深秋的天空清朗高远,湛蓝一片,一朵朵白云倒映在清澈的河水里,微风佛来,杂草丛中便是一阵轻微的沙沙声,令人的心不知不觉便静下来。 The Zhao Wenyuan luck is good, the fish bites the hook repeatedly, although biggest is also only palm of the hand big silver carp, but that type fishes the obtained pleasure actually not to reduce, Ye Xiaotian sits there, actually no harvest, he cannot press down firmly the temper, repeatedly replacement place, but also studies the Zhao Wenyuan appearance to make the nest, eastern west, actually does not see the fish to nip the hook as before. 赵文远运气不错,鱼儿频频咬钩,虽然最大也只是巴掌大的鲢子,可那种钓有所得的乐趣却丝毫不减,叶小天坐在那儿,却没有什么收获,他捺不住性子,频频更换地方,还学着赵文远的样子做窝子,东一把西一把的,却依旧不见鱼儿咬钩。 Zhao Wenyuan sees that loses says with a smile: „My Sir county deputy, the fish nest does not do that. You are fishing or feeding the fish.” 赵文远见状,不禁失笑道:“我的县丞大人,鱼窝子不是这么做的。你这是在钓鱼还是喂鱼呢。” The Ye Xiaotian forced smile said: „, This I am not an expert, really does not have the patience to sit there, you fish your, I toward four walk.” Ye Xiaotian received the pole to put toward the ground, then walked slowly and aimlessly slowly, Zhao Wenyuan is fishing interest, paid no attention to him. 叶小天苦笑道:“罢了,这个我不在行,实在没耐性一直坐在那儿,你钓你的,我往四下走走。”叶小天收了杆往地上一放,便慢悠悠地踱去,赵文远正钓的得趣,也不理他。 Ye Xiaotian walked one along the creek, then walked slowly and aimlessly Chang carriages and horses line of behind, he leisurely strolled, strolled to walk slowly and aimlessly, is walking along the stream bank, suddenly thought that which some were not right, but careful one wants not to also be able to say what. 叶小天沿着小河走了一阵,便踱到了常氏车马行的后面,他信步走过去,又漫步踱回来,沿着河堤走着,忽然觉得哪儿有些不对劲儿,但仔细一想却又说不出什么来。 At this moment, on the hillside presents person's shadow suddenly, Ye Xiaotian looks up together, originally is Qian Qingqing. Qian Qingqing wears a vigor attire, two short swords grasp in the right hand, covers after the elbow, the long leg is scattered, the step posture is beautiful and vigorous. 就在这时,山坡上忽然出现一道人影儿,叶小天抬头一看,原来是潜清清。潜清清穿一身劲装,两口短刀倒握在右手,掩于臂肘之后,长腿错落,步姿婀娜而矫健。 Ye Xiaotian smiles, although because of the Zhao Wenyuan background, he has to add to Zhao Wenyuan secretly guards. However to Zhao and his wife, he truly quite appreciates. At least so far, he and Zhao Wenyuan do not have the conflicts of interest, two people on the government are the partners. But this Madame Zhao, frank natural, with Yaoyao the sentiment with the sisters, Ye Xiaotian loves it and everything that comes along with it, regarded with a special fondness about her. 叶小天微笑起来,虽说因为赵文远的背景,他对赵文远不得不暗暗加些提防。但是对赵氏夫妇,他确实比较欣赏。起码直到目前为止,他和赵文远没有利益冲突,两人在官场上算是伙伴。而这位赵夫人,性情爽朗大方,与遥遥又情同姊妹,叶小天爱屋及乌,对她也就另眼相看了。 Qian Qingqing goes down the hillside, has seen Ye Xiaotian, reveals the surprised color. 潜清清走下山坡,就已看见叶小天,不禁露出惊奇之色。 When Ye Xiaotian treats she arrives on the small wooden bridge, to her submissively says with a smile: „Sister is good.” 叶小天待她走到小木桥上时,向她拱手笑道:“嫂夫人好。” Qian Qingqing is astonished however said: „Leaf county deputy, you how in this?” 潜清清讶然道:“叶县丞,你怎在此？” Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: „I and Zhao brother fish in that side, what a pity the fish always does not nip the hook, I cannot sit still, toward four transfers the revolutions. The sister you were......” Ye Xiaotian sized up dressing up of Qian Qingqing carefully, some accidental/surprised tunnels: „Does sister meet the military?” 叶小天笑道:“我与赵兄在那边钓鱼呢,可惜鱼儿总是不咬钩,我这人坐不住,就往四下转转。嫂夫人你这是……”叶小天仔细打量了一下潜清清的装扮,有些意外地道:“嫂夫人会武？” Qian Qingqing smiles, said: „Is far from meets the military, is only some flowery boxing, occasionally climbs mountains to practice, chart strong and healthy body.” 潜清清浅浅一笑,道:“谈不上会武,只是一些花拳绣腿,偶尔上山习练一番,图个强身健体罢了。” Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: „I see the sister am not occasionally, you look at this green hillside, had cased the joint by you.” 叶小天笑道:“我看嫂夫人可不是偶尔,你看这青青的山坡,已经被你踩出路来了。” Qian Qingqing „pfff~” smiles, said: „Sir county deputy, really chatted, beginning my couple when Hu county, this mountain road there, a slave person, even if puts on the boots bottom grinding, still steps on the non- outlet to come.” 潜清清“噗嗤”一笑,道:“县丞大人,真是说笑了,我夫妇初来葫县时,这条山道就在那儿啦,奴家一个人,就算把靴底磨穿,也踩不出路来呀。” The place that two people are chatting toward Zhao Wenyuan fishing walks, the Ye Xiaotian heart miraculous glow flashes, suddenly understands why oneself just now thought that some are not right, making him feel not right is this road, this mountain road. 二人谈笑着往赵文远钓鱼的地方走去,叶小天心头灵光一闪,突然明白自己方才为什么觉得有些不对劲儿了,让他觉得不对劲儿的就是这条路,这条山路。 The mountain road had been stepped on, is entirely different from the path both sides lawn colors. Here is behind the relay stations and carriages and horses line of houses, few people come radically. In the world this does not have the road, the walked person were many also then became the road. Who was took this road? 山路已经被踩实了,与道路两侧的草地颜色迥然不同。这儿是驿站和车马行的宅子后面,根本很少人来。世上本没有路,走的人多了也便成了路。那么是谁走出了这条路？ Ye Xiaotian turns head to throw to that mountain road by the deep glance, deeply looks to the Chang carriages and horses line, that car dealership, was surnamed Qi. 叶小天扭头向那山路上投以深深的一瞥,又向常氏车马行深深地一望,那个车行,原本姓齐。 : Lantern Festival the night just crossed, casts the glowing red monthly ticket and recommendation ticket invited! :元宵夜刚过,有请投出红彤彤的月票、推荐票！ r1152 r1152 ... ...
