Chapter 342: I am the master

After bidding farewell to the county magistrate, Chen Ao sat in the forcibly room for a long time, and had a lot of things in his mind. He sent a famous prostitute to a little princess. What is this? Now, not only did he call this little princess, but he also brought a king of Jin. The father and daughter gave the emperor in the palace a headache. Don't cause any trouble.

It's funny to say that others want to avoid causing trouble in County Magistrate Chen. Chen Ao is now worried about others. The so-called evil people and evil people are beaten up. Chen Ao has experienced it.

In addition, there is something about Zhou Qing. It seems that Zhou Qing is unwilling to give up. He thought of finding an excuse to break up Chen Ao. Although Chen Ao is not afraid of him, it is also a troublesome thing to do when this incident occurs, which makes people feel upset.

In the afternoon, someone sent an invitation, saying that the transferor invited Chen Ao to the banquet tomorrow.

When I went to a banquet, what kind of banquet was he? What kind of fortune commander? He knew me, but I didn’t know him yet!

But this is also good, take this opportunity to send the two troublemakers out.

The sky faded, and Chen Ao returned to the back garden. Someone came to report that it was Cheng Hui, the magistrate of Qiantang County, and Chen Ao asked someone to invite him in. Cheng Hui had just gone to the yamen and carried a bottle of wine from somewhere. When he saw Chen Ao, he said, "Brother Chen, can there be a food in the house? Let's drink."

At this time, drinking? Chen Ao looked at Cheng Hui deeply, knowing that he must have something to say, so he hurriedly greeted the kitchen. The two sat opposite each other and put on a cup. Cheng Hui poured wine for Chen Ao and himself, first raised his neck and took a sip, let out a sigh, and said, "I have been here in Hangzhou for some days, and I have never had the chance to gather with Brother Shen. I am really ashamed."

Chen Ao said a few polite words to him, drinking and chatting about his official experience. In fact, when you are an official, you are still very leisurely most of the time. You are left to the lower party for ordinary things. If you encounter one or two major cases, you will have to work as a county magistrate.

The major cases here are naturally not murder cases. Once a murder occurs, the county magistrate is only responsible for sending the clerk to collect evidence and call the coroner for a postmortem. If there is a suspect, then ask Dutou to get the person and the county magistrate will be tried. The major cases handled by the county magistrate are generally not big. For example, Chen Ao encountered a few days ago, which was a pair of neighbors. Because the wall of the east neighbor was built high, the right shepherd was very dissatisfied, saying that it blocked the Feng Shui of his family. There are many sons in this family, and four or five powerful men of Kong Wu wanted to rely on the strong to bully the weak, but they beat the people.

When I reported the big thing to the torture room, Chen Ao saw it, ah, this is a big case, rare, rare. I didn’t expect that I would have encountered such a big case just after taking office. I immediately prepared a horse and brought the detention department, and the head of the head, and more than a dozen fast officials flocked over. It was just a common fight incident. Of course, I can’t catch people casually. This era is about convincing people with reason. In fact, it is similar to the out-of-court mediation in later generations. Anyway, if you can’t let you sue, try not to fight, be harmonious and not rude.

So he said with a stern face, saying that Confucius said: Virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors. How can you beat people easily? You are too bad, destroying social harmony, be careful to catch your sons into the class room; on the one hand, he intimidates and hits people, and they are scared to death. On the other hand, he told the people who were beaten that this matter is fine. Although they are bad, they always have to give them a chance to correct themselves. Good neighborly and friendly, and harmonious coexistence are the right thing to do.

As the two sides said, the beating person accompanied some medical expenses for the beating, and said, "For the torture room, even if the dust is settled, the ward will be taught to write a document and hand it over, which will be considered a complete settlement."

Chen Ao's work is roughly like this, Cheng Hui is almost the same. Both of them smiled bitterly. Such a life is obviously not what Cheng Hui longed for. Cheng Hui said bitterly: "If I had known this, it would be better for the court to send me to Lingnan Road. When I got there, I might have some achievements."

Lingnan was a poor and border area at this time, and there were many armed battles in the countryside. Sometimes, in order to compete for a water source, hundreds of people in several villages were fighting with knives and sticks. It was really challenging to be a county magistrate there.

Chen Ao just laughed and comforted him, "Brother Cheng, be patient, there will always be a day to achieve great things."

Cheng Hui was a little drunk and said with a smile: "Actually, I am here to reveal two news to you this time. This is the first one..." He sighed and said: "I don't know where an immortal came from. Your Majesty trusted him very much. He actually asked him to do a ritual in person and issued an order to pardon the world. It was not wrong to pardon the world, but he issued an order in the name of ghosts and gods. Wouldn't he follow the example of the former Tang Dynasty?"

Zhao Ji is very superstitious. Chen Ao has known this for a long time. In fact, this is almost a common problem for the emperor. As a king, he cannot avoid birth, old age, sickness and death like ordinary people. How painful it is. So even though Zhao Ji reads a lot of books, let alone how high Zhao Ji's artistic attainments are, he still believes in these things deeply.

Chen Ao just smiled and didn't speak up. This kind of thing was not something he could ask, and it would be useless to ask. Instead of doing this, it would be better to do your duty. Just like Qu Yuan, worry about this today and worry about this tomorrow, how would you feel about living?

Cheng Hui continued: "As for the second, it is said that the Liao envoy has arrived in Beijing. Brother Chen's countermeasures during the last palace examination. After I went back, I thought about it and thought that this was the best way. Now that the Liao people have entered Beijing, Your Majesty intends to re-conclude an alliance with the Liao people, but the Liao envoy is very strange, saying that he hopes that my Song Dynasty will send Brother Chen to talk to their king."

"Call me? The Liao people look down on Chen too much." Chen Ao laughed silently and thought to himself, did the Liao people think I am a pro-Liao sect? No, the fact that they blackmailed Liao envoys has long been known to the world. They cannot be so stupid that they think they are a pro-Liao sect. It's almost the same as being a pro-Liao sect.

However, the Liao people may not like to talk to the pro-Liao faction. After all, most of the pro-Liao faction are full of money. Today, the Liao people gave them bribes, and they patted their chests to promise that if the Jin people promised them more benefits tomorrow, they might turn their faces the next day. On the contrary, they knew that this was a matter that was beneficial to the Song and Liao dynasties, and they had a better chance of reaching a negotiation.

Chen Ao said: "I wonder where Brother Cheng heard the news?"

Cheng Hui said: "Brother Chen, don't forget that Qiantang County is connected to the wharf, and there is also a Maritime Warriors stationed. Which one does not need to go to Qiantang? Therefore, the information from Qiantang County Government is always more informative."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's better to have Qiantang. Although Renhe is also lively, it's still better than Qiantang."

After the two of them drank some wine, Cheng Hui's scholar's temper came up and asked Chen Ao: "Brother Chen, if the court sent you to the Liao territory as an imperial envoy, what should Brother Chen do?"

Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "When I arrived at the ground, I would definitely feel weak all over, so I decided to sleep first, and then sleep for ten days and half a month."

Cheng Hui was stunned and went to bed. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm too rude."

Chen Ao said, "Since I am on an envoy, Is there anything else to say? Have you heard of the etiquette? In my eyes, the Khitans are common people, not so noble. They are anxious to negotiate and re-establish the covenant. When they can't hold back, they will naturally come to find me. I will wait for them to visit the cottage three times and then talk to them slowly. In this way, their momentum will become weaker. If they talk, they will lose confidence. This is called exercising power. If they don't do this, they will not be able to strengthen their momentum."

Cheng Hui couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "I can't do such a thing. It seems that this Song and Liao contract is not enough to achieve anything unless Brother Chen, haha..." He laughed a few times, and finally became cheerful.

Chen Ao thought to himself: "When he was on a mission to Liao Kingdom, the emperor was afraid that he would not agree. On the one hand, he was still a county magistrate, and he was not in line with reason. On the other hand, he was good neighborly and friendly, and his personality knew that the emperor was sent to him. The emperor was afraid of causing trouble. He asked himself to disgust people almost. He asked himself to respect others as guests. It was really hard for his buddy." Thinking of it, he couldn't help but laugh, but he vaguely hoped that he could participate in the general trend of history and change history. Not everyone had such an opportunity!

After the two of them drank, Chen Ao personally sent Cheng Hui to the door. Cheng Hui was a little drunk and asked someone to drive a carriage to take him back. When he returned to the back garden, the back garden was full of trouble. Di Sanger and Zhao Ziheng seemed to be a pair of natural enemies, which was very annoying. Chun'er was helpless in persuading him. However, the King of Jin Zhao Zong ran to persuade him to fight, saying that he was trying to fight, but in fact he would bully Di Sanger with Zhao Ziheng. Chen Ao was very angry and couldn't help but shout at them: "Another arguing, quarrel, quarrel, what's the matter? Who will quarrel? I won't give you food tonight!"

Everyone knows his temper. Not to mention Di Sang'er, even Zhao Ziheng is a little afraid of him. Zhao Zong smiled and said, "Chen Ao, actually this time it's..."

"That's a big deal!" Chen Ao didn't give him any face: "No matter who is right or wrong, I'm the one who is here, I will keep silent and go back to my own room!"

Zhao Zong stared at him: "I...I am..."

Chen Ao snorted coldly: "You are the prince, are you? Scared, prince? Is there a prince who left the capital in the Song Dynasty? Is there any? Is there any? No, so you are not the prince, you are Zhao Zong, and now I am my guest. I spent money to redeem you from the restaurant and arrange food and accommodation for you! What kind of air do you put on? Look at your appearance, do you look like a human father?"

This series of words left Zhao Zong speechless, and his momentum suddenly became weak: "Okay, okay, I can't tell you." Instead, he said to Zhao Ziheng: "Ziheng, let your father go back to the house."

Di Sang'er put her waist on her waist and saw the father and daughter leaving in shame, she felt a little proud. Originally, Di Sang'er was unwilling to cause trouble because of the other party's noble status, but when she became angry, she was a living tigress and couldn't care about anything.

"What are you doing with your hips? Who are you doing it for? Go back to the house!" Chen Ao glared at her angrily.

Di Sang'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her hands, thumped her tongue obediently, and ran away in shame.
