Ye Xiaotian arrives at the county deputy sign room with long hurried strides, listens to indoor main story to have the voluminous tweedle, what played is 《Yangguan Sandie》, good of also tune bullet, the tune returns persuasively, the residual sound is slender and wispy, entrance both yamen runners know Historian Ai, saw that Ye Xiaotian knows this is that and Historian Ai appearance same Historian Ye, salutes to him hastily, on the face must have also reveals a strange manner... 叶小天大步流星地来到县丞的签押房,就听室内正传出洋洋洒洒的琴声,奏的是一曲《阳关三叠》,曲子弹的还不错,曲回婉转,余音袅娜,门口两个衙役都是认识艾典史的,见到叶小天都知道这就是那位与艾典史形貌相同的叶典史,连忙向他施礼,脸上少不得也露出一种古怪的神气。。。 Ye Xiaotian does not look askance, enters the main hall fearlessly, sees in the hall, only then two young male servants serve, sees Ye Xiaotian to come , the tweedle stops for the first time, Xu Boyi stops both hands, builds slightly in the string, including saying with a smile: „Has Historian Ye registered?” 叶小天目不斜视,昂然直入厅堂,见厅中只有两个小厮侍候,一见叶小天进来,琴声乍止,徐伯夷停住双手,微微搭在琴弦上,含笑道:“叶典史已经报到过了？” Ye Xiaotian halts straightly, the clear and resonant voice asked: „The Code of History room...... the petty official yamen runners in various three categories of yamen runners places, have Sir county deputy or transferred?” 叶小天直挺挺地站住,朗声问道:“典史房……或者说三班六房各处的胥吏衙役们,县丞大人都调动过了？” Xu Boyi light said/tunnel: „Good! As the saying goes, the government official slides like the oil, bullies fully under. Why? Probably because they for a long time occupy one, each other after knowing extremely well, then can be in collusion and practice fraud, disregards the law of the land, seeks the own selfish interests. This officer interlocks the reassignment them, wants to make them have an inspector general, each other is not familiar , is very difficult to collude with each other, if some people do the illegal matter, is easier to expose, Historian Ye thought improper what has?” 徐伯夷淡淡地道:“不错！常言道,吏滑如油,欺上满下。何故？盖因他们久居一处,彼此熟稔后,便能相互勾结、上下其手,置国法于不顾,牟取一己私利。本官把他们交错调动,就是想让他们彼此之间有个监督,彼此不熟悉,也就很难勾结在一起,如果有人做下不法之事,也更容易暴露,叶典史可是觉得有什么不妥么？” Xu Boyi is saying, the vision casts a sidelong glance to Ye Xiaotian, reveals the provocation slightly, greatly one type „has the skill you to hit me!” Inexpensive intent. Hits? Ye Xiaotian does not play the donkey time, which is controlled the mood easily, he smiled gently, smiling the sunlight is bright: „So that's how it is! Not is improper, since is the arrangement of Sir county deputy, the lower official complies with is!” 徐伯夷说着,目光向叶小天一睨,微微露出挑衅,大有一种“有本事你打我呀！”的贱意。打？叶小天不耍驴的时候,哪是那么容易被人支配情绪的,他轻轻笑了起来,笑得阳光灿烂:“原来如此！并无不妥啊,既然是县丞大人的安排,下官遵从就是！” Ye Xiaotian arches to him cups one hand in the other across the chest, turns around to walk, Xu Boyi sees him to threaten to come, to cease all activities to go, big thunder , little rain, mediocre, secretly self-satisfied. Selects the brow tip gently, one group of strings, continue to play. 叶小天向他拱一拱手,转身就走,徐伯夷见他气势汹汹而来,偃旗息鼓而去,雷声大雨点小,不过如此,不由暗自得意。把眉梢轻轻一挑,一拨琴弦,继续弹奏起来。 Ye Xiaotian gets to the entrance, suddenly then said: „ Sir county deputy, the lower official has 叶小天走到门口,忽然回头道:“县丞大人,下官有个不情之请,不知当不当说。” Xu Boyi sees him to be suddenly polite, said joyfully: „Historian Ye was why polite, has the words but saying that might as well!” 徐伯夷见他忽然客气下来,欣欣然道:“叶典史何必客气,有话但说无妨！” Ye Xiaotian said: „Sir county deputy whether from now on do not play a qin before the lower official?” 叶小天道:“县丞大人今后能否不要在下官面前抚琴呢？” Xu Boyi strange say/way: „Why is this?” 徐伯夷奇道:“这是何故？” Ye Xiaotian said: „When Ye childhood once had a playmate, each other sentiment is good. What a pity, several years ago he in street. Died by insane horse kick, Ye was for this reason sad for a long time. Now one hear of Sirs you play a stringed musical instrument, will cannot help but think of him.” 叶小天道:“叶某幼年时曾有一个玩伴,彼此的感情非常好。可惜,前几年他在街头。被一匹疯马踢死了,叶某为此悲伤了许久。如今一听大人你弹琴,就会不由自主地想到他。” Xu Boyi is light, caresses the beard saying: „Your friend, excels at zither | Jean art/skill?” 徐伯夷轻哦一声,抚着胡须道:“你那位朋友,想必是擅长琴艺的了？” Ye Xiaotian shakes the head, the sound contains the sad said/tunnel: „No! He is the ball cotton.” 叶小天摇了摇头,声含悲戚地道:“不！他是弹棉花的。” „Pū!” “噗！” Two young male servants only smile the half sound, hurried to close the mouth, the suppressed face bulge was red, the faces of entrance two yamen runners also twisted. 两个小厮只笑出半声,就赶紧闭紧了嘴巴,憋的脸庞胀红,门口两个衙役的面孔也扭曲起来。 The Xu Boyi air/Qi resulted in the face to be black. Saw that Ye Xiaotian is high-spirited, however comes, is high-spirited however goes, makes an effort to select the string indignantly, „stretching”. The string broke, sounds also really looks like the ball cotton. 徐伯夷气得脸都黑了。眼看着叶小天昂昂然而来,又昂昂然而去,愤愤地用力一挑琴弦,“绷”地一声。琴弦断了,听起来还真像弹棉花的。 Ye Xiaotian courtyard that returns to the sign room to be, first looked toward the household branch, sure enough. Household branch government official standard Li Yuncong and other also all were once transferred with he passing close person, Li Yuncong was moved to be the warehouse ambassador. 叶小天回到自己签押房所在的院落,先往户科去看了看,果不其然。户科吏典李云聪等几个曾经与他过往密切的人也全被调走了,李云聪被调去做了仓大使。 In the Ye Xiaotian heart the resentment anger, returns to own sign room. The petty officials are encircling in the same place chatter away, sees Ye Xiaotian to go to return, disperses hastily, looks for a manual labor respectively, actually does not know that they are busy at anything. 叶小天心中恚怒,返回自己的签押房。胥吏们正围在一起嘁嘁喳喳,一见叶小天去而复返,连忙散开来,各自找点活计,其实也不知道他们在忙些什么。 Ye Xiaotian has treated the less than half year here, naturally knows that which involved legal matter is Code of History, he walks with stride, behind one toward the involved legal matter sat, looked all around in a sign room the petty officials, asked loudly: „In this officer courtyard, were all people have just traded today?” 叶小天在这里待过小半年,自然知道哪张公案是典史的,他大步走过去,往公案后面一坐,环顾了一下签押房中众胥吏,大声问道:“本官这个院子里,所有的人都是今儿刚换过的？” The people listen to his tone to be bad, keeps silent, holds the room petty clerk standard kindly hesitant is just about to comply, the entrance stands firm suddenly a person, the clear and resonant voice replies: „I!” 众人听他语气不善,不由噤若寒蝉,掌房书吏典慈犹犹豫豫的正要答应,门口忽然站定一人,朗声答道:“还有我！” Ye Xiaotian eyes one bright, raised the head anxiously, decides looked clearly, but sees a brave general, throws over helmet wears armor, before the standing gate, white Xu and chest, the left hand raises a dragon tooth to fight the bow, the right hand holds one dark red such as the long blade of blood, powerful, the malignant influences are steaming, just like is five tiger generals old yellow loyal...... 叶小天双眼一亮,急抬头,定晴看,但见一员虎将,披盔戴甲,站立门前,一部白须及胸,左手提一张龙牙战弓,右手扶一杆殷红如血的长刀,威风凛凛,煞气腾腾,俨然便是五虎上将的老黄忠…… Ye Xiaotian looked wooden long time, shook the head, swings the heart to fantasize, said indifferently: „Knew, you first draw back!” 叶小天木然看了良久,晃了晃脑袋,摇去心头幻想,淡然道:“知道了,你先退下吧！” „Yes! Sir!” “是！大人！” Sweeping the floor old Lu drags the broom, is raising the dustpan, bowed to draw back. 扫地的老卢头拖起扫把,提着撮箕,躬身退了下去。 Sees Ye Xiaotian, old Lu is very excited, in this courtyard, now only then this old Lu knows that today's Historian Ye was the same day Historian Ai. As the Li Yuncong fellow chess player, after Ye Xiaotian leaves Hu county, Li Yuncong cannot repress, had disclosed this secret to him. 看到叶小天,老卢头是很激动的,这个院子里,如今只有这个老卢头才知道今日的叶典史就是当日的艾典史。作为李云聪的棋友,在叶小天离开葫县之后,李云聪按捺不住,曾经对他透露过这个秘密。 The Ye Xiaotian both hands brace is on record, is rubbing the forehead, lives a delapidated intent slightly: „ As long as once communicated the close person with me, all transferred to a new job by Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi, in the new these people does not know that who is the Hua Qingfeng trusted aide, who is the inner room that Xu Boyi places, arrives late one step, then lost the situation...... 叶小天双手撑在案上,揉着眉心,微微生起一丝颓意:“但凡曾与我来往密切的人,全都被花晴风和徐伯夷调开了,新来的这些人中也不知道有谁是花晴风的心腹,有谁是徐伯夷安插的内间,晚到一步,便失了先机啊…… * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Evening time, county head magistrate Hua in the county administration two reception rooms is Historian Ye and Zhao relay station deputy reception. The big shots in county almost came, county deputy Xu Boyi and official in charge of documents and archival materials Wang Ning and county school teach edict Gu Qingge and teacher Huang Xuan and patrol officer Luo Xiaoye and duty tax ambassador Chen Muyan. 傍晚的时候,花知县在县衙二堂的会客厅中为叶典史和赵驿丞接风。县里的头面人物几乎都来了,县丞徐伯夷、主簿王宁、县学教谕顾清歌、训导黄炫、巡检官罗小叶、税课大使陈慕燕。 Luo Xiaoye to Ye Xiaotian is very friendly, past reminded his reason, do not take a walk with Ye Xiaotian is too near, was the Ye Xiaotian status. But today Ye Xiaotian changes, became true Hu county Code of History, this has scruples does not exist. This situation, two people were unsuitable to say what/anything, but smiled, all performed during did not say. 罗小叶对叶小天是很友好的,昔日提醒他的理智,不要与叶小天走动太近的,是叶小天的身份。而今日叶小天摇身一变,成了真正的葫县典史,这层顾忌就不存在了。只是这种场合,两人不便说什么,只是相视一笑,一切尽在不言之中。 In Ye Xiaotian heart one warm, although he just arrived at Hu county, sits the person who the first position in a hierarchy and sits the second position in a hierarchy to encounter with the county in secretly, the former subordinates that can use were also transferred to a new job, but at least this hand grasps the soldiers and horses and status aloof Luo to inspect, will not stand his opposite to go. 叶小天心中一暖,虽说他刚到葫县,就和县里坐第一把交椅和坐第二把交椅的人暗暗交锋,可以用的旧部也都被调开了,但是至少这个手握兵马、地位超然的罗巡检,不会站到他的对立面去。 Ye Xiaotian looks in all directions in an instant, saw Gu Qingge and Huang Xuan, two people had just notified him, has taken a seat after the seat. Because Xu Boyi once studied in county school, has the friendship of teachers and students with them, before is the above, salutes upon meeting. 叶小天转眼四顾,又看到了顾清歌和黄炫,两人刚跟他打过招呼,已然在席位后落座了。因为徐伯夷曾在县学读书,与他们有师生之谊,是以上前见礼。 Now the Xu Boyi officer position above them, two gentlemen does not dare the haughty to sit accepts gifts, is busy at setting out to return salute, but among the looks is very desolate. Ye Xiaotian watches, in the heart ponders secretly: „These two venerable teachers, attach the powerful official, to abandon wife's behavior to the Xu Boyi flatter obviously are extremely not shames. Also should get down the strength, draws them. Although said that the scholar revolts three years of inadequate, but I do not make them revolt, in writer hand that pen, with well, but can kill without showing blood.” 如今徐伯夷官位在他们之上,两位先生不敢大剌剌地坐着受礼,忙起身还礼,但是神色之间很是冷淡。叶小天看在眼里,心中暗忖:“这两位老夫子,对徐伯夷阿附权贵、抛弃发妻的行为显然是极为不耻的。也该下把力气,把他们拉过来。虽然说秀才造反三年不成,可我又不是让他们去造反,文人手中那管笔,用得好了,可是能杀人不见血的。” Ye Xiaotian sits down slowly, sees opposite registrar Wang to raise glass to drink tea, he should raise the eyelid to observe Ye Xiaotian a moment ago, Ye Xiaotian this as far as eyes can reach, obviously felt his eye just dangled. 叶小天缓缓坐下,就见对面的王主簿正举杯喝茶,他刚才应该正掀起眼皮观察着叶小天,叶小天这一眼望去,明显感觉到他的眼睛刚刚垂下。 Ye Xiaotian thought: „This old fox, although is three hands of Hu county. But the status is actually safe. The civil administration power always dominates firmly in his hands, although usually did not show one's self, poured to compare that Meng Qingwei to have the city mansion. To this old fox, I cannot do without guarding, when coping with Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi this wolf bei, can collaborate actually.” 叶小天心想:“这个老狐狸虽然是葫县的三把手。可地位却是稳稳当当。民政大权始终牢牢把持在他的手中,平素虽然不显山不露水的,倒比那孟庆唯更有城府。对这个老狐狸,我不可不防,不过在对付花晴风和徐伯夷这一狼一狈时,倒是可以联起手来。” On the Ye Xiaotian face is with the light smile, the vision in chatting on peaceful/late Yan's numerous guest face sweeps slightly, the enemy barrier has delimited a defined outline in his heart gradually. 叶小天脸上含着淡淡的微笑,目光在谈笑晏晏的众多宾客脸上微微一扫,敌人壁垒已经渐渐在他心中划出了一个明晰的轮廓。 Hua Qingfeng gave a speech, to assuming the post of Ye Xiaotian and Zhao Wenyuan extended welcome. Two people stand up later, the acknowledgment took a stand, the banquet opened, was the cup plans to interlock. The atmosphere enlivens gradually with ease. 花晴风致辞,对叶小天和赵文远的到任表示欢迎。二人随后站起,致谢表态,酒宴一开,便是杯筹交错。现场气氛渐渐轻松活跃起来。 What the Ye Xiaotian right hand position sits is duty tax ambassador Chen Muyan, two people knew, just now also made county head magistrate Hua present hypocritically. Ye Xiaotian pours out one glass of liquor for Chen Muyan, with Chen Muyan who opposite Teacher Huang chatted hastily with the hand-held cup. Nods the head the acknowledgment. 叶小天的右手位置坐的是税课大使陈慕燕,两人原本就认识,方才还让花知县假惺惺地引见了一番。叶小天为陈慕燕斟上一杯酒,正与对面的黄训导谈笑的陈慕燕连忙以手扶杯。颔首致谢。 Ye Xiaotian smiling said/tunnel: „Ambassador Chen, can this year's tax revenue be smooth?” 叶小天笑微微地道:“陈大使,今年的税收可还顺利么？” Ye Xiaotian spoke thoughtlessly a question, pulled closer some relations with him. Who knows is asking Chen Muyan sore spot, Chen Muyan brow twists, the deep sigh one breath said: „ Difficult! Difficult! This year is especially difficult! Has linked for the one and half months not to rain, you come from Guiyang prefecture, hasn't looked at city east that river? More than two zhang (3.33 m) depth, pull the trouser legs coverings to cross river now. 叶小天只是随口一句问话,跟他拉近些关系。谁知却正问到陈慕燕的痛处,陈慕燕眉头一拧,长叹一口气道:“难！难啊！今年尤其难啊！已经连着一个半月没下雨了,你从贵阳来,没看过城东那条河吧？原本两丈多深,现在挽起裤腿就能过河了。 This is because our county is situated in the canyon indentation region, these common families in both sides mountain, all on mountain the terraced field, the terraced field depends on nature for a livelihood, now the crops all hit to fade, gets down to lose plant again, collects taxes? Tax Dingen of this officer does not dare to go to the country, goes to common people beaten to death while still alive that cannot make these get angry anxiously. ” 这还是因为咱们县城地处峡谷低凹地带,两侧大山里的那些百姓人家,全是在山上开的梯田,梯田靠天吃饭呐,现在庄稼全打蔫了,再这么下去就得枯死,收税？本官的税丁根本不敢下乡,去了还不得让那些急红了眼的百姓活活打死。” Ye Xiaotian hears here, sees full table the delicacies of every kind, suddenly did not have the appetite. He opens the mouth to ask: „In county hasn't tried to find the solution?” 叶小天听到这里,看到满桌的山珍海味,忽然没了胃口。他开口问道:“县上就没想想办法？” Chen Muyan sighed: „Tries to find the solution? How to try to find the solution? We are not the Raytheon rain masters, can control the forces of nature. Gao Village constructed place Longwang Temple, making a last-ditch effort, is not miraculous. Speaking of that Li Village also really large sum of money invited a taoist priest, in the county also took part of money, making his approach offer sacrifice to heaven......” 陈慕燕叹气道:“想办法？怎么想办法？咱们又不是雷神雨师,能呼风唤雨。高家寨建了座龙王庙,急来抱佛脚,不灵光啊。你还别说,李家寨还真的重金请来一位道士,县里也拿了一部分钱,让他做法祭天……” Ye Xiaotian frowns, said: „Only can hope in these quacks? Do they become?” 叶小天皱起眉头,道:“就只能寄望于这些江湖术士？他们成么？” Chen Muyan said: „Hi! Becoming inadequate, at least can comfort the popular sentiment. The common people believe this, sees our county yamen (government office) also to strive, will not at least look for our troubles. Otherwise what to do? Except for asking God, who has the means?” 陈慕燕道:“嗨！成不成的,至少能安抚民心呐。百姓们信这个,见咱们县衙门也出了力,至少就不会来找咱们的麻烦了。要不然怎么办？除了求老天爷,谁有办法？” At this moment, living room entrance noisy, has the people sound said: „Su Emon, the county magistrate Sir is entertaining guests at a banquet, you cannot go in casually!” 就在这时,客厅门口一阵嘈杂,有人大声道:“苏卫门,县尊大人正在宴客,你不能随便进去！” „Goes to you. Mother!” “去你.妈的！” „Oh!” “哎哟！” The entrance hits a person to come, to back up suddenly several steps, hits in close to a hall gate liquor table on, „whish”, the cup board dishes fell place, several being caught off guard officials quickly jump, is shaking the food and liquor water on front piece distressedly. 门口突然撞进一个人来,倒退几步,撞在靠近厅门的一张酒桌上,“哗愣”一声,杯盘碗碟摔了一地,几个措手不及的官员急忙跳起,狼狈地抖着衣襟上的菜肴和酒水。 Wears the junction to get the black cloth narrow sleeve long gown, the waist is the red belt/bring, wears the desiring to fly high soap hat the man takes a step, crass said/tunnel: „His mother's hot best room, you me told that banquets!” 一个身穿交领青布窄袖长袍,腰系红带,头戴插翅皂帽的的男子迈步进来,骂骂咧咧地道:“都他娘的火上房了,你跟我说饮宴！” When the entrance domestic servant falls, Hua Qingfeng has been angry to stand up, sees this person, strikes the table to shout: „Your this scoundrel, sent what is insane!” 门口家仆跌进来时,花晴风就已大怒站起,一见此人,不由拍案喝道:“你这混帐,又发什么疯了！” Ye Xiaotian looks at this person, smiles, comes person Su Xuntian. 叶小天一看此人,不由微笑起来,来人正是苏循天。 Warm prompt: The front 0.005 meter toll station, please prepare the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket, decelerates to lose headway! 温馨提示:前方0.005米收费站,请准备好月票、推荐票,减速慢行！ ( To be continued..)
