Idle courtiers

Chapter 101

Zhan Zhixian was furious, and shouted: "What a rebellious Xu thief, if you really think who you are, why can't I beat you, come here, drag it down, and beat it to death."

He was originally a narrow-minded person, and he hated Zhou Nan deeply for a long time, but now he was determined to kill him.

Hearing this, Guixian Cheng glanced at Zhou Nan triumphantly, feeling the pleasure of revenge.

Zhou Nan put his hand behind his back and said calmly: "My lord, don't forget that Zhou Nan has now resumed his status as a student, and he is a member of the famous religion. According to the system of our dynasty, the local officials will punish a scholar with a reputation. There was a local student official on the spot. Even if the student committed a heinous crime, he would have to get rid of his merits before he could be interrogated and punished. I also ask the county officials to invite the county academic officer first. If the student says I am guilty, I can report to the province. Learn from the government office, let's talk about it later."

Zhan County Magistrate was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Guixian Cheng and Master Zhan: "Is there such a rule?"

Master Zhan nodded slightly, but Guixian Cheng looked disappointed, which seemed to be true.

Zhan Zhixian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and continued to curse: "What a thief, I really think that my master beat you so badly? Me, me, me, I am so mad."

Guixian Cheng suddenly shouted: "Good Zhou Nan, if you disrespect your boss and bark at the elder's place, you can't escape the crime of disrespecting your elders. According to the system of our dynasty, you should be beaten with [-] sticks and fined half a year's salary. "

Hearing his reminder, Zhixian Zhan laughed loudly: "I forgot this one, yes, yes, yes, when I used to walk on the Nine Sides, I often heard people say that the king's life will not be accepted. The country's laws and regulations Although it is the biggest, there are rules below. If everything is done according to the law, how to govern the army and the people. Come and drag this guy down to me."

Zhou Nan saw that Prime Minister Gui couldn't stop playing tricks on him, and he felt angry and regretted: This bird man is too vicious, if he had known that Shi Zhixian had found a crime for him when he was in office, at least he would have to be kicked out Anton.This is the way to beat a snake and not die, but suffer from it instead.

Naturally, he wouldn't eat these two bastards for nothing, he already had a plan in mind.Instead of being angry, he smiled: "The county magistrate really can't hit Zhou Nan with this meal. After Zhou Nan regained his fame, he has long intended to participate in this year's autumn. The Ministry of Officials has removed me from the post of official. On the way. The reason why I didn’t leave the yamen for the time being is because I was waiting for this document. That is to say, Zhou Nan is no longer a subordinate of the county magistrate, and this is not a crime. If the magistrate wants to beat Xiaosheng, he can ask Academic officials."

Zhan Zhixian was stunned again, Zhou Nan couldn't hit left or right this week, and he was so fucking hard to deal with.If you don't clean him up today, who else will take him seriously in this county government in the future.

He immediately sneered and said: "What a madman, I really think this county can't deal with you. If you don't want to be a pawn, then you can't do it. The county will immediately send someone to the capital with a letter to force you to work in our county government. If you want There is no way to participate in the township examination. What should be written in the letter, I will wait for the county to think about it."

"Yes, let's say that Zhou Nan, a government official in Andong County, is smart and capable, and has made outstanding achievements in office. Please commend him as a model for officials in the world. Haha, Zhou Dianli, this county is reluctant to let you go!"

Speaking of this, Zhixian Zhan burst out laughing.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were registered officials, they could not participate in the imperial examination.In other words, you have to work in this position for the rest of your life.

Zhanzhi County is a member of the palace, if the resources at Concubine Li's hand are used, maybe this matter can really be done.

Zhou Nan didn't even think about taking the imperial examination. He just waited until the dismissal paperwork arrived, and left the county government to cooperate with Mei Yuanwai to start a business and make a fortune.It doesn't matter to him if he can't take the imperial examination to be an official.

However, Zhan Zhixian wanted to keep him in the county government to work under him, and he was afraid that he would be tossed to death in the future.

Zhou Nan couldn't bear it any longer, and said with a sneer, "The county lord disregarded the court's order to collect summer and autumn taxes in our county this time. What do you want to collect so much money?"

Zhan County Magistrate said disdainfully: "Of course it is turned over to the state treasury, what does it have to do with you, a subordinate?"

Zhou Nan said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The amount of these two gifts is huge. After the collection, [-]% will be paid to the national treasury, and the remaining [-]% will be intercepted by the county lord. Let Xiaosheng think about it, how much is the county lord?" What is the money for? By the way, the money must be sent to the capital, right?"

This person from Zhanzhi County was not born in the imperial examination, so he is inevitably a little guilty in the officialdom.The only thing I can rely on is the background of Prince Yu's Mansion. After coming to Anton, I often talk about the Palace, so that everyone can understand that I have a background in Zhan Zhi County, so be honest with me.

Zhou Nan continued: "I also heard people say that the county magistrate visited Concubine Li before coming to Huai'an, and suggested that she persuade King Yu to enter the palace to serve the emperor. The emperor is repairing the palace every year. Does the palace also sell some? Money, let’s talk about filial piety. Is this money just used for this? The county magistrate is loyal to today’s people, and Xiaosheng admires, admires."

These words were harsh, and if it got out, the magistrate of Zhan County might end up being the magistrate.

It turned out that Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, and a alchemist once told him that "two dragons will not meet." If two dragons meet, one must be injured.The convinced Emperor Jiajing has never seen the only heir to the throne, King Yu, since then, and it has been more than ten years now.

This is Emperor Jiajing's rebellion, and it is also an unspeakable taboo in the court.

Since you Zhanzhi County want to mess with me, Zhou Nan, I might as well give you eye drops.You are welcome.

You force me to stay in the county government office, and I will be by your side.If I open my mouth to talk nonsense, others will think that it is from you, and you can handle the political consequences yourself.

Everyone in the room knew the power of this sentence, for a moment everyone was fearful, and they didn't dare to say another word.

By this time, Zhou Nan and Zhan Zhixian had completely turned their faces.

"The scourge, what a big scourge!" These words flashed through Zhan Zhixian's mind.

Indeed, he saved Zhou Nan's future and forced him to work as an official in the yamen so that he could rectify it in the future.However, if he is really kept, he is an official appointed by the court and his direct subordinate.If he really talked and acted nonsense, and something happened, the superiors would first find him, the boss, to trouble him after he was investigated.

It's impossible for you to demote him to be a yamen servant, you don't have this power.

No, this person has to be driven away.

Zhan County Magistrate shouted: "Get out, get out of here, anyway, your dismissal paperwork will come down in a few days, and the county will not keep you."

Zhou Nan was overjoyed, and asked again: "Master, what about my salary for this month?"

"You are indispensable." Zhixian Zhan's face was livid with anger.

Zhou Nan won a complete victory, and cupped his hands: "Thank you, the county lord, farewell, farewell!"

I'm leaving.

At this moment, suddenly the two yamen guards at the door screamed: "Who are you and how did you get in?"

Zhou Nan looked back, but saw three tall men with bamboo hats on their heads, cotton robes and hemp shoes standing at the door.

Judging by the clothes of the three of them, they are no different from porters, and how did they get into the county government, and no one stopped them?
