After breakfast, Du Xun prepared firewood in the shed with his wife, and waited for Du Zhongxiao to pull the lees back to steam the wine.

While the two were busy, the servant sent by Director Tang hurried over and said to Du Xun: "Scholar, something is not good!"

Du Xun left the shed and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong?"

The servant took a few breaths before saying, "Today, your little official and Mr. Han, who sells wine, came to buy wine lees at my restaurant. He and his little official from "Qixiangju" took them away."

Du Xun was surprised: "Why did they arrest people?"

"It was said that I bought wine lees and went home to brew private wine. The little official repeatedly decided that he had never brewed privately. He just didn't listen to that section and insisted on arresting people. My supervisor saw that it was not a trick, so he ordered me to come and inform the scholar."

After hearing this, Du Xun contacted Du Zhongxiao's talk about Wu Kejiu's trip to Hanjiajiajiao restaurant a few days ago and understood seven or eight. When doing wine business, you have to face the strict laws of the court, which is unavoidable. Du Xun has already considered the pros and cons of it.

He ordered his wife and Du Xun said to the servant: "Let's lead the way, let's go to your restaurant first."

When Du Xun followed the servant to the "Yao Family Store", the sun was already rising high, and most of the people around the restaurant dispersed. Only Han Yueniang was left in front of the restaurant, guarding the car with wine lees, and was about to cry. A few archers not far away looked at the car and Han Yueniang.

Seeing that Manager Tang was still standing in front of the restaurant, Du Xun stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you, the supervisor, for letting me know."

Manager Tang stomped his feet and said, "Scholar is here!" Chen Jiewei escorted your little official and Han Lian, and sent someone to watch it. He said that the lees in the car were stolen goods, and no one was allowed to move them, just waiting for them to come back. I don't think it's a trick, and there will be a way to do this when the scholar comes."

Du Xun thanked again and asked, "I wonder where they have taken my son and Brother Han to?"

"I sent someone to follow me and watched, and I never took him to the county government office. I was imprisoned to a small courtyard not far from the county government office. I asked someone, the courtyard was from a front of the county government office, and I think I was familiar with Chen Jie's level."

Han Lian nodded: "I understand. Chen Jiejia is either here to catch private drinks or make trouble. It's okay, I will go to the county government office to meet the county magistrate and explain the matter. A festival level can also cover the sky in the county!"

After saying that, Du Xun went over to comfort Han Yueniang, asked in detail what happened today, and rushed to the county government.

There was a book shop next to the county government office, and Du Xun didn't need to use the central government. He wrote a verb that Wu Xiaoyuanwai in the county colluded with Chen Jiewei from the county government office and bullied the kind people, and handed it in.

Today, Wei Ai Shi was on duty in the county, and he was surprised to see the accusation he had handed in. As the current Jinshi, Wei Ai Shi naturally met Du Xun and also attended a farewell banquet held by the county at that time. Although Du Xun was defeated, the status of the Jinshi in the township was there, and his name was in prefectures, counties and even the courts. There were things in the county that this kind of person must come forward.

After accepting the accusation, Wei Ai Shi did not dare to neglect it, so he hurriedly asked the officers to let Du Xun go to the side hall.

After entering the side hall, he ordered tea, and Wei Aishi bowed: "I have read the scholar's aphorism, but it's a bit difficult to deal with now."

Du Xun said: "As a ministerial level, without any summons or official documents, he arrested the good people and locked them up. It was illegal. This matter is clear and clear, why is it difficult to deal with by the archery officer?"

Wei Ai Si sighed: "I will not hide it from the scholar. Chen Jiewei is under the jurisdiction of Xu County. The county lieutenant will go to the countryside due to the incident, and it will take several days for him to come back."

Du Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The county magistrate is not here, but the county magistrate is there. If there is any county magistrate who can't control the affairs of a county?"

Wei Aisi smiled bitterly: "That's true. County Magistrate Shi is old and has poor energy, so he doesn't care about everything in the county. This matter--"

Du Xun went to Beijing to take the exam last year. After several months of going there, he did not know that the county officials had changed. The newly transferred county magistrate Shi was born in a special report. He was old when he was in office. He was finally promoted to county magistrate. He only wanted to finish his term and retire and retire at that time. Since he arrived in Linying County, County magistrate Shi ignored everything and handed over everything in the county to the chief clerk and the county magistrate, and he was in the county magistrate himself to cultivate one's character. Everyone in the county magistrate knew that he did not bother him in anything, but only went to find the chief clerk and the county magistrate.

Special titles are people who have participated in the imperial examinations many times and failed the exams every time. When they reached a certain age, they participated in the provincial examinations for many sessions. In the end, the imperial court gave them a title of Jinshi. They would also be granted officials, but their positions were low and it was difficult to be promoted. Like the county magistrate Shi, it was already good to be the chief of a county in the special title. In the Song Dynasty, officials of the Jing Dynasty became the chief of a county, and were called the county magistrate, and those who were selected at a low level were called the county magistrate. This was a custom in the Song Dynasty. When officials of the Jing Dynasty went to local officials, they were generally called a knowledge of something, not only the county magistrate, but also the officials of the prefectures. The status of many officials in prefectures and counties was higher than that of the official positions directly, county magistrates, etc.

After hearing Wei Ai Si's words, Du Xun couldn't help but frown: "The county magistrate is not in the city and the county magistrate doesn't care. Wouldn't it be that the minor officials and officials at Chen Jie's level do whatever they want? What should I do if they have evil intentions and lynching, what should I do?"

Wei Aishi just shook his head, looking helpless.

Catching, stealing, checking, and banning wine are all the duties of county magistrates. How dare Wei Ai Shi, an official, take care of the officials? Or because Du Xun was a Jinshi in the aftermath, Wei Ai Shi came out to talk to each other. If he were an ordinary person, he would have long dismissed the paper.

Du Xun thought for a while, stood up suddenly and said to Wei Aishi: "No, you can't wait like this! I heard that Chen Jiejie did not take the person into the county government office, but locked him up in a small courtyard outside. Who knows if he will use lynching? The so-called whining will make you unable to explain everything at that time. I know that Xu County Magistrate is stubborn and can't listen to anyone at all. How can he have a good idea when he falls into his hands? The court level, no matter whether the county magistrate is in charge, please help me report it. You must always have a certainty."

Wei Ai Si had no choice but to get up and said, "Suichi, sit down for a moment, and I will go in and tell the magistrate of the county magistrate."

Seeing Wei Ai Si get up and walk towards the back yamen, Du Xun had to wait patiently.

Not long after, Wei Ai Si walked out again, holding a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to Du Xun, saying, "The county magistrate heard that you are a Jinshi in the township of the county, so he attached great importance to it. He forced himself to cheer up, read the escort, wrote down this warrant. The scholar took it and handed it over to Chen Jiewei."

Du Xun took the paper and read it. He saw that there were only a few clichés. Finally, he ordered Chen Jiewei that the Du family was a family of juren and that lynching was not allowed casually. Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian were arrested and arrested, and waited for Xu County Wei to return to the county before talking about everything.

After reading the warrant from County Magistrate Shi, Du Xun couldn't help but tremble and said to Wei Aisi: "Aisi, what's the difference between this warrant or not? Or wait until County Magistrate Xu comes back. Those people at Chen Jie's level are like wolves and tigers. In a few days, who knows what will happen?"

Wei Aisi spread his hands and said helplessly: "The county magistrate has no mentality. What can he do if he is the next official?"

Du Xun walked back and forth, and after a while, he said decisively: "If this is the case, I have to go to the state to have a trip!"

Wei Aishi bowed: "It is the right way for scholars to go to the state. The new magistrate Mei Xun was originally a Hanlin bachelor, the best person, and he will definitely be able to report to the public. Furthermore, the provincial chiefs are all scholars, so seeing scholars is naturally different from ordinary people."

Du Xun looked at Wei Aisi and saw that he looked sincere and did not make any false statements. He wanted to tell the truth. The state is different from the county. There are many officials there, and most of them are scholars. He has a different attitude towards Du Xun's tribute to Jinshi in the village.

City and countryside, prefectures and counties are sometimes two worlds. The counties in the Song Dynasty had a small population and underdeveloped economy, and the head of a county was similar to those of Du Zhongxiao’s previous life. Not only were the conditions difficult, but their vision and knowledge were limited. Therefore, officials who were the official Jinshi in the Song Dynasty had the saying that "there are swords and the sea of ​​fire" when they went to the county to become officials.

Officials like County Magistrate Shi who are scattered in life often cannot tell the severity of the matter due to their limitations of their horizons. No matter what happens, they always delay as long as they want, and everything will be fine. Anyway, they don’t seek merit, but they just need to be fined, and they can only spend their term safely. The county magistrate only puts everything to the chief clerk, county magistrate and two deputys, and hides from their leisure time, and even if they really have something to do, they can’t find themselves.

Du Xun thought about it and had to go to a road in the state when he encountered such an official. He sighed and bowed to Wei Ai Si.

After leaving the county government office, Du Xun asked about the people and came to the small courtyard where Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian were detained. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped.

Du Xun said: "I am Du Xun, a tribute scholar in the county, and my child is locked inside. I'll go in and take a look."

A middle-aged man whispered loudly: "What Jinshi, are you here to scare us? It's spread all over the county. When you go to the capital to take the exam, you will beg for the exam early and return to your hometown. It's your blessing to not starve to death, and you dare to come here to pretend."

Du Xun suppressed his anger and said, "Even if I failed, I am also a Jinshi from the imperial court. My name is my own baby. I should go in and take a look. If you do it for a convenience, I will be rewarded in the future."

Several big men laughed together: "Let's listen to your nonsense! When the quatrain left, the order was that the criminals who were secretly brewed wine were kept inside, and no one could go in. You leave quickly, otherwise you would drive them away with sticks!"

When Du Xun saw a few people's fierce look, he knew that he would not let him in. After he hesitating for a while, he had to whisper: "My son, I know you are locked up here. Please wait with peace of mind. I will go to the state to report to the officials and give you justice! If someone comes in to lynch his sentence, you must hold it back and not be scolded. Otherwise, if the population is in fact, it will be difficult to tell me! Whoever judges you, whoever you beat you, you can write it down one by one. When I come back from the state, I will settle the score with them!"
