Luo Xiaoye inspects, but inspects is the military officer, subordinates Guizhou province to direct the commissioner, must turn over to the Ministry of War manages again upward, but he and ordinary army are also different, usually must obey the dispatch of county magistrate, reluctantly is the subordinate of county magistrate. 罗小叶是巡检,而巡检是武官,隶属贵州都指挥使司,再往上就要归兵部管了,但是他和普通的军队又不同,平常要听从县太爷的调度,勉强算是县太爷的下属。 But this for many years, the local station troops and family member formed a relative independence group, like an independent kingdom, the local government authorities is extremely limited to their influences, but their matter common local official does not need to be responsible, then, county head magistrate Hua does not care to the words that Romania inspected. 只不过这许多年来,当地屯军及其家属形成了一个相对独立的团体,如同一个独立王国,当地官府对他们的影响力极其有限,而他们的事情一般当地官员也不用负责,如此一来,花知县对罗巡检的话就更不在意了。 „Oh! Wants I to proceed to new official post initially, is high-spirited, thinks that by the Hu county first county magistrate status, I will perform good deeds in this, builds the solid foundation for my official career, leaves behind I eternal ceaseless illustrious name in Hu county. Who knows......” “唉！想当初我赴任的时候,是何等意气风发,原以为以葫县首任县令的身份,我将在此建功立业,为我的仕途打下坚实的基础,在葫县留下我万古不辍的英名。谁知道……” county head magistrate Hua is looking at the receiving dust of roof lost, is filled with filled with grief: „ Now this appearance, I have what/anything to say. The term examination does not certainly pass an examination, but the Hu county situation is complex, royal government Gentlemen does not know nothing, 花知县出神地望着屋顶的承尘,满心悲怆:“如今这副模样,我还有什么好说的呢。大考是一定不及格了,不过葫县情形复杂,朝廷诸公并非一无所知,我一个新科进士来此做官,简直是形同流放了,朝廷还能把我怎么样？ My three years, without the merit always have the efforts here, even if I do not pass a test greatly, wants to come the royal government completely not to consider, dismissing from office should not, if censures the officer to transfer, I also recognized, although unwilling......! ” 我在这里三年,没有功劳总还有苦劳吧,就算我大考不及格,想来朝廷也不会对此全然不加考虑,罢官应该是不会的,若只是贬官调离,我也认了,虽不甘心……唉！” Official hand/subordinate is still reporting the work to him, county head magistrate Hua has been considering his future. 手下的官员还在向他汇报着工作,花知县已经在考虑他的未来了。 Ye Xiaotian leads Shuiwu and Le Yao, fuwa enters the county administration, in the heart full is the doubts. They came in swaggering, a county yamen (government office) mouth standing guard person does not have unexpectedly, or does not know the offical mission attendant of standing guard where slid. 叶小天带着水舞和乐谣、福娃儿走进县衙,心中满是疑惑。他们就这么大摇大摆地进来了,县衙门口居然连个站岗的人都没有,或者不知道站岗的官差溜到哪儿去了。 After entering county administration, sees a person rarely, distant had seen a person of Official messenger petty clerk appearance occasionally, has not waited for him to go forward to question, that person shook the body to flash a sign room, simply has not paid attention to their group. 进了县衙之后更是难得看到一个人,远远的曾经偶尔见过一个衙差书吏模样的人,还不等他上前问话,那人就晃着身子闪进了一处签押房,根本没有理会他们这一行人。 Ye Xiaotian stood in the institute sent dull, said to Shuiwu: „This place is entirely different from Central Plain, is this county administration is also passing all sorts of strangely, in my opinion, we walk, immediately goes to Tongren city, do not manage here matter.” 叶小天站在院中发了一阵呆,对水舞道:“此地与中原大不相同,便是这县衙也透着种种古怪,依我看,咱们还是走吧,马上去铜仁,不要管这里的事了。” Shuiwu is astonished however said: „That...... Historian Ai and the others the matters we do not manage.” 水舞讶然道:“那……艾典史等人的事咱们就不管了。” Ye Xiaotian said: „I always thought that this Hu county is passing everywhere strangely, we do not go looking for trouble. That Historian Ai is not only proceeds to new official post, once the long time does not register, the government authorities questioned inevitably, at the appointed time can certainly find them, do not forget, that mountain pass also had the dead horse and shatter vehicles, was very easy to look.” 叶小天道:“我总觉得这个葫县处处透着古怪,咱们还是不要自找麻烦了。那艾典史既是来赴任的,一旦久不报到,官府必然查问,到时一定能找到他们,你不要忘了,那山口还有死马和破碎的车辆,很好找的。” Shuiwu hesitant, always felt, since depends upon others help to arrive at the present, if others death news do not notify one, somewhat is rather unreasonable. Let alone...... 水舞犹豫了一下,总觉得既然依靠人家的帮助才一路走到现在,若是连人家的死讯都不通报一声,未免有些不近人情。更何况…… Shuiwu thinks of the incident suddenly, then said to Ye Xiaotian: „big brother Ye, we ride the Historian Ai car(riage) to come this in Lujiao small town, the person on Lujiao small town is clear. We stayed for three days when Lujiao small town, the person on town/subdues knows your details, if we walk away, government authorities comes to day to question the Historian Ai whereabouts, perhaps you must become the biggest suspect.” 水舞忽然想到一事,便对叶小天道:“叶大哥,咱们在鹿角镇搭艾典史的车来此,鹿角镇上的人一清二楚。咱们在鹿角镇住了三天,镇上的人知道你的底细,如果咱们一走了之,官府来日查问艾典史下落时,恐怕你就要成为最大疑凶了。” Ye Xiaotian was reminded by all her of a sudden, in by Government authorities the conduct of person. An imperially appointed official is murdered in their districts of jurisdiction, this is an extremely major case, if when the time comes the government authorities cannot solve a case, difficult insurance not to regard to take the rap him, might as well report promptly, first sets the status of survivor and reporting person to oneself. 叶小天一下子被她点醒了,以官府中人的操行。一位朝廷命官在他们的辖境之内遇害,这可是极重大的一桩案件,到时候官府若破不了案,难保不会把他当成背黑锅的,不如及时报案,先给自己定下幸存者兼报案人的身份。 Thinks of here, Ye Xiaotian said joyfully: „Really is the family/home has my good wife, the man does not suffer the unexpected calamity. Your words are very reasonable.” 想到这里,叶小天欣然说道:“果然是家有贤妻,男人不遭横事。你的话很有道理。” Xue Shuiwu hear of he said that the crazy talk was not one chapter of two chapters, she detected that the own light tender cheek is becoming more and more thick, at least listens to him to say now, is not bashful, but routinely spat his one lightly, even refuted to be disinclined. 薛水舞听他说疯话也不是一回两回了,她发觉自己薄薄嫩嫩的面皮正在变得越来越厚,至少现在听他这么说,已经不害臊了,只是习惯性地轻啐他一口,连反驳都懒得。 Ye Xiaotian smiles, hits a sound to point out: „Walks, we find a person, settled the matter, then returns to the maternal home delightedly.” 叶小天嘿嘿一笑,打个响指道:“走,咱们找个人,把此间事情了结了,便欢欢喜喜回娘家。” Ye Xiaotian four look around, moves toward that sign room that just now some people dodge into directly. Looked toward to the entrance probe head, sees the entrance to hang „household branch” two characters, in the main room sat two people, is sitting facing each other Yi chess, steals floats the fresh half day the leisurely and carefree appearance. 叶小天四下一张望,径直走向方才有人闪入的那间签押房。到了门口探头往里一看,就见门口挂着“户科”两字,堂屋里坐了两个人,正在对坐奕棋,一副偷得浮生半日的悠闲模样。 Ye Xiaotian cross passes through the gate immediately, sang a fertilizer to two people, saluted saying: „Two gentlemen, the civilian has an important matter, must see right in front of one county magistrate Great Lord.” 叶小天马上跨进门去,向两人唱个肥喏,施礼道:“两位先生,小民有一桩大事,要面见知县大老爷。” And an age quite long person sets out immediately, said to the fellow chess player: „Mister has the matter to do, board game piece is first putting, a while we continue again.” 其中年岁颇长的一人马上起身,对棋友说道:“先生有事做,棋子儿先这么搁着,一会儿咱们再继续。” Another person nods, this year the elder then withdraws from the sign room, takes up a broom from the gate conveniently, since crash-bang crash-bang swept the corridor, originally this person was in yamen (government office) is responsible for the clean employee. 另一人点了点头,这年长者便退出签押房,顺手从门边抄起一把扫帚,哗啦哗啦地扫起了长廊,原来此人是衙门里负责清洁的雇工。 Sits well motionless that person forty years of age high and low, appearance to be thin as before, he does not look at Ye Xiaotian, but lies on the checkerboard the careful research long time, picked up board game piece of opposite party to change a place covertly, this hehe smiled two, set out to walk toward the inside room, piles words: „Along with me comes!” 依旧端坐不动的那个人四旬上下、容颜清瘦,他也不看叶小天,而是趴在棋盘上仔细研究半晌,偷偷摸摸拈起对方的棋子儿换了个地方,这才嘿嘿地笑了两声,起身往里间走,摞下句话道:“随我来！” This sign room passing through the gate is the receiving callers main room, side puts on sugar Hu Lu (bottle gourd) also several side rooms, Ye Xiaotian enters the first room with that person, that person sits down after the involved legal matter, bends down, made an effort to blow one, 这签押房一进门是会客的堂屋,旁边穿糖葫芦似的还有几间耳房,叶小天随着那人走进第一间房,那人在公案后坐下,俯下身子,用力地吹了一口,桌上、案牍上、文房四宝上登时飞起一层灰来。 Ye Xiaotian gets rid of the breath, talking in heart: „This household of branch is actually how long hasn't been open for business?” 叶小天摒住呼吸,心道:“这户科究竟是多久没开张了？” That person relaxes, is glancing Ye Xiaotian lazily, asked: „Your what matter, is to make the household register and transfer, moves the revolutions?” 那人直起腰来,懒洋洋地瞟着叶小天,问道:“你什么事啊,是造户籍、过户,还是迁转？” Ye Xiaotian said: „Mister, the civilian goes via Gui County, has a big case, wants report/give report to give the county magistrate Great Lord.” 叶小天道:“先生,小民只是路经贵县,现有一桩大案子,要禀报给知县大老爷。” That person of Nie he was saying: „Is county magistrate master you wants to see sees? Said, what matter?” 那人乜着他道:“知县老爷是你想见就见的？说,什么事儿？” Ye Xiaotian said: „this county new Code of History Ai Feng Sir Ai, on the road by the mountain thief, was killed.” 叶小天道:“本县新任典史艾枫艾大人,路上遭了山贼,被杀了。” „......” That petty clerk one breath along, has not choked a cough, he rubbed one to stand, startled say/way: „What did you say? Also!” “咳咳咳咳……”那书吏一口气没顺下去,呛得一阵咳嗽,他蹭地一下站了起来,惊道:“你说什么？再说一遍！” Ye Xiaotian said: „Gui County new Code of History Sir Ai, the halfway with the thief, died!” 叶小天道:“贵县新任典史艾大人,半路遇贼,死了！” The petty clerk stares the big eye, looks at Ye Xiaotian with amazement, does not dare to believe also inquired carefully a process, finally believes the Ye Xiaotian words, the petty clerk was startled the moment, then lightens the writing desk anxiously anxiously, said to Ye Xiaotian: „Quickly! You come with me!” 那书吏瞪大眼睛,骇然看着叶小天,不敢置信地又仔细询问了一遍经过,终于相信了叶小天的话,那书吏怔了片刻,便急急闪出书案,对叶小天道:“快！你跟我来！” The petty clerk directs Ye Xiaotian to run out of the sign room, Shuiwu and Le Yao and fuwa is standing in the institute, the petty clerk sees the Shuiwu pretty looks is at present one bright, sees in the darling fuwa heart to turn round again another strange, but he now the brain is the news that Code of History is murdered, actually also has no time to look. 那书吏引着叶小天冲出签押房,水舞、乐谣和福娃儿正站在院中,那书吏一见水舞俏丽的姿容便是眼前一亮,再看见憨态可掬的福娃心中复又一奇,不过他现在满脑子都是典史遇害的消息,却也无暇多看。 That servant that is responsible for sprinkling with water and sweep heard that this young people must see county magistrate, did not know that he is what status, but also sweeps there pretentiously is well-grounded. The ground very long has not swept, the county magistrate usually did not come this place in any case, ground thick ash. 负责洒扫的那个老苍头儿听说这年青人要见县令,也不晓得他是什么身份,还在那儿装模作样地扫着地。地面已经很久不曾扫过了,反正县太爷平素不来此地,地上厚厚的一层灰。 The servant not water spray, snatches a big broom to sweep the dust to fly upwards, the household branch petty clerk holds one's nose saying: „Good was good, do not put on airs. Hurries to make way, I have the important matter to see the county magistrate master.” 老苍头儿也不洒水,抢起一把大扫帚扫得尘土飞扬,户科书吏捏着鼻子道:“行了行了,你别装模作样儿了。赶紧让开,我有大事要去见县尊老爷。” The servants quickly dodge toward side, the petty clerk brings Ye Xiaotian, is covering the nose across the corridor, rushes toward two. 老苍头急忙往旁一闪,那书吏就带着叶小天,捂着鼻子穿过长廊,往二堂里闯去。 In two, Luo Xiaoye reported the business of this section briefly and to the point, at this time is changing duty tax ambassador Chen Muyan to report to the county magistrate, Chen Muyan reported a this county pitiful tax position briefly, then nasal mucus tears recounted the tax Ding Men history of blood and tears. 二堂上,罗小叶言简意赅地汇报完了本部的事务,此时正换了税课大使陈慕燕向县太爷汇报,陈慕燕简要汇报了一下本县可怜的税收情况,便一把鼻涕一把泪地述说起了税丁们的血泪史。 Hu county is not the agricultural big county, cannot receive many taxes in the agriculture, this county tax revenue main dependence business and transportation, because this county from Yunnan province to Hubei and Hunan provinces one in post road important highway, therefore this passing through tax revenue became the main source of income of this county. 葫县不是农业大县,在农业上是收不到多少税赋的,本县的税收主要依赖商业和运输,因为本县是从云南到湖广的驿路要道中的一段,所以这一段的过关税收就成了本县的主要经济来源。 But the transportation of this section of post road, almost grasps in the this county Dahao Qi Mu hand. This Qi Mu is the army household descendant who opens up wasteland to defend the border, Qi family in the local several hundred years, was a native. 可是这段驿路的运输,几乎完全掌握在本县大豪齐木手中。这个齐木是屯田戍边的军户后代,齐家在本地数百年,也算是一个坐地户了。 His father in the past in an accident to rescue inspects Luo Xiaoye grandfather Luo to inspect dead now, henceforth Qi family became the obligation person of Luo. His Elder Brother inherited the military appointment, he seeks the livelihood, calls one group of porters, did the business of transportation. 他的父亲当年在一次事故中为了救当今巡检罗小叶的爷爷罗老巡检而死,从此齐家就成了罗家的大恩人。他的哥哥继承了军职,他则自谋生计,召集一群脚夫,干起了运输的买卖。 Because there is a Xunjiansi to be the backing, his business gets bigger and bigger, afterward made a name gradually, now just like the this county first tyrants. He must rely upon Xunjiansi, now his influence is enormous, is the benefactor of Luo, Xunjiansi was pressed a head by him. 因为有巡检司做后盾,他的生意越做越大,后来渐渐成了气候,如今俨然是本县第一豪强。原本他是要仰仗巡检司的,现在他势力极大,又是罗家的恩人,就连巡检司都被他压了一头。 Present Qi Mu has been through repeatedly for dozens years to operate, the influence is complicate, has become a Hu mountains tyrant, the confrontation among three forces with the this county Yi and Miao two big tribe, tax Ding this lifeform, in having no right in the civilian eye of no potential is no different than the fierce tiger, in his eyes is actually the kitten puppy, will not pay attention. 如今的齐木历经几十年经营,势力盘根错节,已成葫岭一霸,和本县彝、苗两大部落三足鼎立,税丁这种生物,在无权无势的小民眼中无异于猛虎,在他眼中却是小猫小狗,根本不会放在眼里。 However both sides also had no happening together, where the duty tax division dare to look for his trouble. However the county head magistrate Hua first two years have governed by non-interference, saw that the year of term examination, he seems to be awakening from a dream, wants to make the achievements more attractive, therefore issued the death order of collecting taxes to the duty tax division. 不过双方原本也没什么交集,税课司哪敢找他的麻烦。不过花知县前两年一直是无为而治,眼看到了大考之年,他才如梦初醒,想让政绩好看些,于是给税课司下了收税的死命令。 Thus, the duty tax division has to brace oneself to receive under the Qi Mu name the taxes of these industries, had the conflict with them, a short time ago Chen Mupu hand/subordinate several tax Ding Gang had been hit by the Qi Mu person, now also heals from a wound at home, the medical expenses do not have the place to leave. 由此一来,税课司就只好硬着头皮收齐木名下那些产业的税,和他们起了冲突,前不久陈慕菩手下的几个税丁刚被齐木的人打过,现在还在家里养伤,医药费都没地方出。 Meng county deputy and Qi Mu always act in collusion, listening to Chen Muyan to complain here, in the heart sneers. He is clear, county head magistrate Hua does not have the real power, cannot do to Qi Mu, this duty tax ambassador really do not complain, but was telling that the grievance shirks the responsibility. 孟县丞与齐木一向沆瀣一气,听陈慕燕在这里告状,心中冷笑不已。他心里清楚,花知县毫无实权,根本就奈何不得齐木,这税课大使也不是真要告状,只是在诉说委屈推卸责任罢了。 county head magistrate Hua is hearing confusedly, that petty clerk rushes hurriedly, county head magistrate Hua finally found one to vent the goal, is angry to set out saying: „Li Yuncong, you really did not have the custom more and more, this county is discussing the official business with fellow Sirs, who asked you to come.” 花知县正听得心烦意乱,那名书吏急匆匆地闯了进来,花知县终于找到了一个发泄目标,大怒起身道:“李云聪,你真是越来越没规矩了,本县正与各位大人商议公事,谁叫你进来的。” Although minor book-keeper Li does not dare to talk back flagrantly, actually did not fear puppet county magistrate who this no real power, he said immediately: „Great Lord, you must discuss the official business not, nowadays actually has an important matter, important matter awfully.” 李书吏虽然不敢明目张胆地顶嘴,却也丝毫不怕这位没啥实权的傀儡知县,他马上说道:“大老爷,您莫要商议公事了,现如今却是发生了一桩大事,要命的大事啊。” In the county head magistrate Hua hear of his words the faint teasing flavor, in the heart is annoyed, but he is also clear entire Hu county high and low no one to awe itself, has to feign to do not to listen, the transit asked: „What important matter awfully?” 花知县听他话里隐隐的调侃味道,心中更是恼火,可他也清楚整个葫县上下根本就没人敬畏自己,只好佯做没有听出,转口问道:“什么要命的大事？” Li Yuncong said: „Great Lord, just some people came to the county administration to report, said that was on the this county new Code of History Ai Feng proceeding to new official post road by the thief killing!” 李云聪道:“大老爷,刚刚有人来县衙报案,说是本县新任典史艾枫赴任路上被贼人给杀了！” Official simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform one startled, when the vision one went to Li Yuncong, in the hall 1 complete silence. 众官员齐齐一惊,目光唰地一下投向了李云聪,堂上一时鸦雀无声。 Passed the long time, listens to „bang” one, was actually county head magistrate Hua sits on the chair layer on layer/heavily. 过了半晌,就听“砰”地一声,却是花知县一屁股重重地坐回了椅上。 P: Thank monotonous the treasure and other book friend of hitting to enjoy the support.
