Chapter 24 The Great Ming Woman

The rain was first fast and then slow, and it fell sharply for a night before resting. In the morning, the clouds stopped the rain, and the gorgeous sunlight hung two beautiful rainbows on the hillside. The two rainbows crossed, like a colorful arch bridge.

Ye Xiaotian packed up and went to the snack bar on Qianjie to get some food, and then went to Su Xuntian and Li Yuncong to see Inspection Luo with the orders of the magistrate Hua. Ye Xiaotian did not go directly to the inspection department, but bought a few bags of snacks halfway and went to Luo Xiaoye's mother, Aunt Ye's residence.

Ye Xiaotian had never been to the house of Mr. Ye because he refused to pretend to be Aidianshi and was forced to be desperate by Meng County Chief and others, because Ye Xiaoniang's son Luo Xiaoye was also one of the officials in the second hall of the county government that he agreed to pretend to be Aidianshi.

Although Ye Xiaotian gave Aunt Ye a favor, it was not enough to make Inspection Luo go against the bureaucratic group in Hu County for this reason. In this way, the relationship will be revealed in advance without any value.

Now that he has agreed to pretend to be Ai Feng, there is no conflict of interest with Inspection Luo. To a certain extent, Inspection Luo must actively cooperate with him to ensure his own interests. In this case, it is the most appropriate time to break down this relationship. Ye Xiaotian hopes to maintain a good relationship with Inspection Luo and create the best conditions for him to escape from Huxian.

In a sense, Ye Xiaotian, a fake guy, is not a puppet at the mercy of others, and he is better than Magistrate Hua.

Regarding Hua Qingfeng, Meng County Chief and Wang Zhuan were always absolutely vigilant and did not allow him to get involved in anything, because once he, the official seal official, broke through the surrounding resistance, he would be able to directly contact the lower side, and then compete for power with Meng County Chief and Wang Zhuan.

Ye Xiaotian's false history did not have this threat, so they could feel at ease to delegate the power to command the Huxian constable and the people of the people of the country. Meng County Chief and others needed to hide his true identity, so in the eyes of those subordinates and Huxian people, he was the real history. In this case, he could of course have a considerable amount of power, which created more favorable conditions for his escape.

Yes, Ye Xiaotian has been making a calculation of temporarily surrendering and waiting for an opportunity to escape since the day he promised to pretend to be Dian Shi. In addition to the faint sense of crisis, he also has no greater ambitions.

When Qin Shihuang visited the world, he looked at his ceremonial power and the nobleman of Chu, Xiang Yu said, "That can be replaced." Liu Bang, the head of the pavilion, could only sigh, "A real man should be like this." Different status and status, the imaginations that can be made for the future are also different.

For Ye Xiaotian, who knew it was impossible to pretend to be Aidianshi and would be annoying to stay in Huxian sooner or later, being able to escape smoothly, conquer Shui Wu's heart, conquer Shui Wu's parents' mouths, and successfully bring her beautiful lady back to Beijing is Ye Xiaotian's greatest ideal and ambition, who is the bottom-level identity of this society.

Therefore, visiting inspector Luo today is certainly related to the errands he is currently in charge, and he also wants to take advantage of this to meet Luo. The inspection department set up a special road in Guanjin to inspect pedestrians, crack down on smuggling, and arrest thieves. He has more contact with Luo Xiaoye. Even if Luo Xiaoye will not help him escape, it is good to learn more about the inspection department’s establishment of equipment and defense from Luo Xiaoye.

Aunt Ye was very surprised to see Ye Xiaotian visiting, but the last time Ye Xiaotian appeared was a passerby going to Tongren, but this time he turned into a history of the county. It was very troublesome to explain. Ye Xiaotian simply used the well-known reason for "private visit" as his own explanation.

When Aunt Ye heard that Ye Xiaotian was a colleague of the county and was even more happy when she heard that Ye Xiaotian was a colleague of her son and she hurriedly asked the neighbor's eldest and half to go to the inspection department, called her son back, and arranged wine and food to entertain guests.

When Luo Xiaoye returned home, he saw that it was "Aidianshi" and was surprised. When his mother explained that Ye Xiaotian was the one who escorted her home in the melee that day, Luo Xiaoye's attitude towards Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little intimate.

However, at the banquet, Luo Xiaoye couldn't help but frown when he heard Ye Xiaotian explain his purpose. He pondered for a while and said, "Ai Dianshi, you are a newcomer and don't know the local situation. We should not mix too much between tribes, especially those sons and nephews of the chieftains, who have more sensitive identities.

I will tell you that although they are all people under my Ming Dynasty, they do not pay taxes or perform labor service. Even in terms of law, they have their own set of rules. The chieftains can atone for sins according to the "local customs". Even if they kill people and pay money, they can do whatever they want.

When a dispute arises between them, it is also a custom that has been passed down through thousands of years. If one party is killed, his family will seek revenge in the future, and there is never a need for the court to intervene. The inspection department is not reasonable to send troops. If an inadvertent person is not careful, it will cause great trouble for himself."

Although Ye Xiaotian has begun to try to understand the difference between this place and the Central Plains, Ye Xiaotian, who was born at the foot of the emperor, still felt a little incredible when listening to these things.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother Luo is right, but the problem is that their dispute started because of the etiquette of Teacher Gu. The sons and nephews of these tribe leaders have the status of a county student. If they fight here, once there is a problem, will their family and tribe take the opportunity to make things difficult for the court and make some unreasonable demands? If that happens, the matter will be a big deal."

"hehe……"

Luo Xiaoye smiled faintly and said, "You asked you to come to me. It should be the idea of ​​the county magistrate Meng and Wang Zhuzhu? Don't you think about it. Since the consequences of this matter are so serious, why do they still stay out of the matter and instruct you to come to me?"

Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "They instructed me to come to you, of course they have their wishful thinking. If we can successfully stop the students from fighting, as immediate bosses, they will naturally have no credit for their contributions. If our mediation fails to cause a big mess, they can shirk responsibility."

Luo Xiaoye looked at Ye Xiaotian unexpectedly, and he thought Ye Xiaotian didn't understand the truth behind this. Luo Xiaoye said: "Since that's the case, why do you have to be enthusiastic about this? Why should you pull me into the water? Isn't it good to ignore it and let it go, isn't it good?"

If Ye Xiaotian was really Aidianshi and his responsibilities were on, Luo Xiaoye would not say that, but Ye Xiaotian was an impostor, and ignoring this would not be considered a dereliction of duty. Therefore, even though Ye Xiaotian knew that he was being used, he would come to him and even have a personal relationship, Luo Xiaoye was a little confused.

Ye Xiaotian's voice was very slow, but his expression was very serious: "Brother Luo, I don't want to pay attention to the messy reasons behind it. To be honest, I have been chasing all the time. Has the thief from the neighboring county been wandered into our county? It's up to me to do my job! Is Shi Yuanwai's love killing or revenge killing? Who is the murderer? It's best to catch me, but I'm too lazy to be careful if I can't catch me.

From the perspective of the official, you know the most about what I am like, but I am justified. From the personal perspective, I am not bothered by them, and I am too lazy to show my energy to help them catch the murderer.

But this decisive battle on Wong Tai Sin Ridge is different! It hasn't happened yet. I can ignore their funerals and things that have not happened yet. If I turn a blind eye to it and sit back and watch it happen, then I am an accomplice. That would be a bit unreasonable. Who can I argue with?"

Ye Xiaotian gently patted his chest: "With this place!"

Luo Xiaoye looked at him with strange eyes, as if he had known him.

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "I think even if I hit a monk for one day, I have to hit a few times, right? What do those bastards plan? I don't care. They have selfish intentions, but I can see that they really don't want the nephews of the tribe leaders to have an accident in Huxian. Then they guide me to come to find you, Brother Luo, because your brother Luo must have a better way than them in this matter. So, I'm here!"

Luo Xiaoye didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time. He picked up the wine pot and filled a glass for himself. He picked up the glass and drank it all. Then he held a chopstick and chewed it crunched. For a moment, the room was quiet. Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian, who were drinking at the same table, also looked at Ye Xiaotian with some strange eyes. This official who was not an official, brought a lot of spiritual shock to these real officials who were confused today.

After a while, she sat cross-legged on her head, drinking wine all the time, and listening to them with a smile, Aunt Ye spoke: "Xiao Ye, my mother is a wife family. What are you two saying? I don't understand. My mother doesn't understand the twists and turns on the official road, so I just listened, as if the young men from the toasts and men were having a quarrel and fighting in groups, right?

Speaking of which, officials here are afraid of them, and even the court is not willing to provoke them easily, but our Luo family is not afraid of them. Although according to the ancestral teachings, our army has never intermarried with people from local tribes, in order to ensure that the court's sword-holding soldiers must always be held in the hands of our Han people, so that we can wholeheartedly defend the territory for the court, but after all, we have lived here for so many years, so we should not always treat ourselves as outsiders.

We settled here during the Taizu period. It is true that we are from Nanjing. We must never forget this. We must remember where our ancestors came from. But don’t forget that we are also considered people from Huling, and have all taken root here for several generations.

The descendants of our army will still survive here for generations. You are the leader of these army. If you keep everything aside, will the chieftains take us to heart? Then the descendants of our Luo family must not be bullied?

What do you call you? The leaders of the tribe in the mountains are called Tusi. You are called Tusi, so why do you have the word Tu? It’s because you are a local official here and have been hereditary! You are honest, but if you are too honest, you will inevitably be bullied. It’s not that my mother doesn’t know anything about your inspection department, but she has never asked you…”

Luo Xiaoye's body trembled suddenly and said in a lost voice: "Mom..."

Aunt Ye interrupted him: "You are a big boss, you are still the leader of the army. A mother and a wife can't help you. If you insist on making a stand for you, wouldn't it be a joke? If you don't talk about this, you can do it yourself. If you have never made a fortune, then marry me a daughter-in-law and give birth to a grandson with my old woman."

Luo Xiaoye's face was red and his ears were red. Aunt Ye picked up a glass of strong wine and simmered it in one sip. He said in a heavy tone: "You never stand out in everything. One day, no one expects you to stand out again. By then, you will have no chance to stand out even if you want to stand out. This time, help your brother and yourself, too, ah?"

Luo Xiaoye lowered his head and pondered for a long time, poured a glass of wine, raised his head suddenly, and said to Ye Xiaotian with red eyes: "See you on Huang Daxian Ridge tomorrow!"

P: I sincerely ask for recommendation votes!
