Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but soon became relaxed again. The head-in-chief Cao Hu, with a sneer on his face, said, "Brother Chen, what are you afraid of? Without our support, Jiangyou County can't play any other person. Didn't the previous term rely on someone in the court and look down on others? But now the Ming Dynasty is in chaos and the disputes between the parties and cannot care about it. How could he care about him a little bit? Let's move a little, he can't even afford to collect autumn grains, and he was beaten to the end before his term was over, hehe."

Cao Hu did not call Chen Gui as the county magistrate of Chen, but directly called Chen Brother. From this we can see that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

"That is," said Bo Zhang Yunhui, the lord with a goat whisker, with a smile: "As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. If he knows the appearance, he can sit in that position for a longer time. If he deliberately opposes us, he will blame him for his bad luck."

If Chen Gui is the leader of everyone here, then Zhang Yungui is the mastermind. He has many bad ideas and has a high status in Jiangyou County.

Zhou Dayuan, the official of the Household Office, said with a sinister look: "It's going to be October. The new county magistrate has not arrived yet. There are many mobs now, so I won't be made on the road, right?"

Cao Hu said indifferently: "There are chaos these days, who dares to guarantee it? Besides, there is no rain in Shaanxi all year round, and it has been in chaos. In other words, our status here is quiet. The harvest last year is OK. The people still have some food storage. Only then can they be safe. It would be better if he doesn't come, so we will have no control over the king. To be honest, I really want to be him on the road."

"Cao Hu, be careful of your words." Chen Gui stopped Cao Hu and said, "Some words should not be said randomly. Now the Ming Dynasty is still the Emperor's Ming Dynasty, so we will have some peace of mind. If the Jinyiwei hears these words, you will not be enough to cut off even if you have nine heads."

When they heard about the Jinyiwei, everyone's expressions changed drastically, as if they heard something extremely terrible. Since the founding of Taizu, the Jinyiwei has been an invisible shackle on the heads of the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty. No one knows when they will appear, but once these people get angry, their families will be destroyed, and their families will be light.

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen taught me the right lesson. I, Cao Hu, are just a rough man, and now I punished myself for three bowls." Cao Hu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and was startled. When he heard Chen Gui scolding, he immediately admitted his mistake, picked up the bowl and drank three bowls by himself, and then sat down again.

Chen Gui stood up with a glass of wine and said, "According to the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, in order to avoid suspicion, all county magistrates are foreign officials. They are foreigners who want to scrape off all the land three feet away. For the more than 50,000 fellow villagers in Jiangyou County, we must keep a close eye and hold them together so that we can stand firm."

It is said that for the sake of tens of thousands of villagers, these are all false. The county magistrate is appointed every three years, a small one every three years, and a large one every three years. At that time, the assessment results will be either increased or decreased. No matter what, the stall is still the responsibility of the local households, and they are all villagers in the village. If they look up and see them, they naturally cannot do things too well, and the cake will be so big. If the new county magistrate takes more or not let them take them, this is not what they want to see. When the county magistrate is vacant, everyone colludes, and the accounts can be described as shocking. Seeing that the new county magistrate of the court is coming, Chen Gui, the leader, gathers everyone together and lets them all open to the public so that they will not be confused.

After pausing, Lu Haoshan lowered his voice and said, "Before taking office, please touch it first. If anything happens, you won't be cheated and you will help them count the money. These days, you have only one life. Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years."

Liu Jinzhu suddenly realized that in his eyes, he thought that as long as he was on the upper court, he would sit in the county government, he would be able to get the wind and rain, and his subordinates would keep paying tribute, holding beautiful women every day, having official sedan chairs in and out, and doing whatever they wanted. Now it seems that he was thinking too simply. He heard this and said, "That's right, that's right, it's really not a joke that so many locals bully two foreigners. Brother Shan, your mind is really good, I'll just listen to you."

When Lu Haoshan heard this, he nodded, and did not speak, focusing on dealing with the pasta in the bowl.

"Waiter, check out." Soon, the two finished their pasta and Lu Haoshan shouted to check out.

"Okay, two guests, you can take advantage of twenty people." The waiter was very diligent and rushed over as soon as he heard about the checkout.

Lu Haoshan didn't even look at it, and grabbed a handful of copper coins and put it in the waiter's hand. It was at least thirty or forty cents. The waiter immediately said, "Cheer, I've given more." After saying that, I wanted to return the extra money to Lu Haoshan.

"Not much, I just want to find out something."

So that's the case. The waiter immediately smiled and put the money away, saying with a flattering look: "The guest official is so generous. If you have anything, ask me. I, Zhao Er, have been doing this since I was a child. It's no exaggeration to say that everyone knows any turbulent things in Jiangyou County."

After getting the reward, the waiter's attitude was indescribable.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. We brothers are planning to do some business here. If you want to do something, you want to ask this guy about what the county magistrate has and where you like to go shopping."

"I saw early in the morning that you are outsiders, and it turned out to be a businessman," said the waiter Zhao Er with a smile: "You are asking the right person, but you don't have to respect the county magistrate, go and find County Chief Chen. No matter what the matter is, it's absolutely right to find him."

Liu Jinzhu interjected from the side and said, "No way, is a county magistrate even older than a county magistrate?"

"Hehe" Zhao Er sneered and nodded and said, "You guessed it right, don't say that the previous county magistrate was dismissed and investigated. The new county magistrate has not yet taken office. Now the county magistrate is the chief of Chen County. Even if the county magistrate is there, he can't fight him. It's hard to defeat the local tyrants. Does that understand? The county magistrate Chen Gui is a local rich household with a lot of land and countless industries. He is the first-class family in Jiangyou County. The six-house officials and three squads of fast yamen have his people. When the new county magistrate comes, there is no one available in his hands. As long as the county magistrate Chen does not support him, nothing can be carried out, and nothing can be implemented is not good. We have a few rumors here [Jiangyou, Jiangyou, the county magistrate is as big as a cow, and the new official comes and goes blindly]."

After saying that, he looked around and lowered his voice, "Our previous county magistrate had a quarrel with County Magistrate Chen. As a result, he was stumbled when collecting autumn grains and could not enter the warehouse on time. Then he put all the blame on him, and encouraged the local students and the gentry to attack him. This made him defeat him in an instant."
