Chapter 127 They colluded
The last time the concierge saw Mrs. Wang and they had a close relationship with Mr. Zhang, he naturally didn't dare to offend him. He changed his arrogant attitude before, and he seemed like his own relatives.
"Is your Master Zhang going to the government office now?"
Old Mrs. Wang and the others have been on the road for four hours. It is now dead of night and there are not many lights on the street, but the county government must have lanterns on.
"This... Master Zhang is afraid to take a break." The porter rolled his eyes, "How about you come back tomorrow morning?"
Mrs. Wang didn't think Zhang Qian had fallen asleep now. Although their Hujia Village had recovered and started to work in full swing, many surrounding villages were still in disaster.
This year's busy farming season has been delayed. Zhang Qian is now the biggest official in the county government. All these matters that the county magistrate should manage have all fallen into his hands.
At this point, it should be still busy.
Zhang Zhan was really busy. He had just finished reading a file when the servant brought in a bowl of chicken soup.
"Sir, it's late at night, rest."
"I always feel that these ears are a little hot. Go outside and see if someone is looking for me?" Zhang Zhan said casually to the servant while rubbing his ears.
For some reason these few days, whenever something has to be dealt with by him, his ears always get hot.
The servant answered yes, and quickly came over and said, "Sir, there are several people who claim to be from Hujia Village outside Ermen and say they want to see you."
As soon as he heard the words Hujiacun, Zhang Zhan felt his eyelids jumped.
Thinking of this village, Zhang Zhan always has bad memories, not to mention, the little ancestor is still there now.
It's been so long since I said it, and the little ancestor didn't come back with a fuss. I think it's good to live there.
"You call someone to the side hall to see if there is any refreshment in the kitchen. Say hello first, I'll go later."
"Yes."
Wang Chuanfu and several people felt that it was too rash for their mother to bring them directly to the county office.
The adults in the county government are all resting now. Even if they don't rest, how can they receive a few muddy legs from them?
You must know that those who are in office are all eyes above the top. Even if they are approachable, it is impossible to entertain them so late.
As he was thinking about it, he saw a man dressed as a servant walking from inside with a faint smile on his face.
Even if it is a servant, the clothes on his body are much better than theirs.
"Several, sir, please come in."
The old lady Wang said to the servant, "My unsatisfactory son can't get up. Please drive the donkey cart somewhere and leave it there so that he can stay on it."
Wang Chuangui: "..." What a real mother!
The smile on the servant's face froze.
What happened to this man? Came to visit the adults, but also brought a bad person.
You said, it's not a problem if I push people to the barn.
"I will send someone to take care of it, don't worry." The servant had to say.
Mrs. Wang took Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman into the county office. Both sons were a little nervous. Although the buildings in the county office were not grand, they were much better than the small houses in their village, and were better than those tall buildings on the street. Nor is it a grade.
The servant took them to the side hall, served them refreshments, and then went to greet someone to arrange Wang Chuangui's affairs.
"Wait here, bring someone here later."
Mrs. Wang: "Go and do your work, don't worry about us."
It happened that she was tired from the journey, so take a rest now.
The servant smiled and turned away.
"Mother, why don't we go back. Let's find a few people and teach those matchmakers a lesson." Wang Chuanfu was a little frightened and whispered to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang ignored him.
Wang Chuanman was curious, how did Mrs. Wang come to this county government office, as if she was coming home.
"Mother, did you know that Master Zhang before?"
Mrs. Wang: "Not earlier than you know."
The people in the village already knew that Zhang Zhan was the one they had rescued before, but they only thought that he was an ordinary official.
I have no idea how big an official Zhang Zhan is.
Actually, Mrs. Wang doesn’t know either, but she can probably guess. At least now she can speak and act as the master.
"When we see Master Zhang, what shall we say? Are we telling him the whole thing? But the matchmaker's business is just a mouth, what can we do?"
In their eyes, those matchmakers didn't seem to do anything other than babble on their lips. Do adults still care what you say?
If you go to sue the officials and say that the matchmaker is ruining people's reputation outside, it seems like a bit of a fuss.
Mrs. Wang half-smiled: "Don't underestimate the power of a mouth, how many people are defeated by this mouth."
Wang Chuanman wanted to ask again. Mrs. Wang had already lowered her head to drink tea. The tea in this county government office was at least much better than the ones they brewed with honeysuckle, and it tasted better than mint leaves.
Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman were still thinking, and Mrs. Wang had already eaten half of the tea.
They didn't bring anything to eat when they went out. Now the old lady is hungry.
After half an hour, Zhang Zhancai finally came to an end. Then he remembered that there were still people waiting, so he hurriedly went to the side hall.
As a result, I saw two people sitting upright on the chair, and an old lady with gray hair, who tilted her body and tilted her head, and fell asleep on the chair.
Zhang Zhan thought at first glance that the person was dead there, and he almost fell out of his heart.
"Mother, your lord is here." Seeing Zhang Zhan, Wang Chuanfu hurriedly called out Mrs. Wang.
Zhang Zhan originally thought that it was probably from the Old Wang family, and sure enough.
"Aunt Wang, why did you come so late at night?"
Mrs. Wang stood up with a very serious face: "Master Zhang really shouldn't bother you, but I think this is a very important matter, so I still have to let you know."
"Recently, many people in our Nanhe Town are spreading evil things, old lady, I found out after many inquiries that the other party turned out to be a group of matchmakers colluding with Taoist priests."
Zhang Zhan looked surprised, the matchmaker colluded with the Taoist priest?
What is this?
Even Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman couldn't help but open their mouths, what is mother talking about?
Mrs. Wang went on to say: "The matchmakers are not official, they are all organized by private individuals, and Taoist priests are of course wild Taoist priests, and they are not registered in the official register. Now even the formal Jianghu sects have to report to the court. , but these matchmakers and Taoists are outside the law.”
"Everyone is mostly in awe of the officials, but they trust the matchmaker very much. After all, the matchmaker has a lot of power. The marriage of each family depends on the face of the matchmaker. In addition, everyone's respect for Taoist priests, more sources. In terms of reverence for the gods, if the Taoist priests do evil things outside, isn't that slandering the gods?"
"The common people don't have the ability to distinguish, old lady, I still heard that on the way to flee the famine, if the local matchmaker and the Taoist priest really collude, then they really want to cover the sky with one hand!"
Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman could understand the first few sentences, but the latter ones were completely confused.
But Zhang Zhan understood.
"Aunt Wang family, what do you mean, someone is taking advantage of the people's feelings and ignoring the people? How unreasonable!"
