Chapter 145

The groom in his thirties was indeed very fierce.

Not only is it fierce, but it is also quite scary.

Moreover, Chen Xiao's team was the leading road of the county government's Zao Li, but the groom was not afraid at all. Instead, he was even more fierce about these Zao Li, which was not normal.

There are still people who are more evil than the government?

Thinking of Chen Wenshan saying a detour, it seems that he is really afraid of this middle-aged groom?

Turning his head and looking, it turns out that Chen Wenshan's face was unnatural and a little nervous!

"Did you hear it? Get out of here, dare to be my way, I'm not polite!"

The groom riding on the horse continued to shout, waving the whip in his hand, as if he was disagreeing and wanted to hit someone!

At this time, Chen Xiao walked out of the carriage, looked at the middle-aged groom, and said lightly:

"I didn't see this being a team of government officials and counties? I dare to speak so badly!"

The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Xiao and said disdainfully:

"The government? County government? What a nonsense. Even if the county magistrate saw me, he didn't dare to say anything. What are you? You don't know how to live or die!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bantou frowned and shouted: "Bold, dare you be rude to the county magistrate!"

"County magistrate?" The middle-aged groom frowned and looked at Chen Xiao, saying:

"You are the new county magistrate? Then listen well, the county magistrate must be polite to me, let alone you are a county magistrate? Remember, I am the boss of Qingyang County!"

Chen Xiao looked back at the carriage and saw Chen Wenshan who was a little nervous. What a guy, it seems that this middle-aged man is really not lying!

"Dad, I just realized that you, the county magistrate, are you quite cowardly?" Chen Xiao said in a low voice.

Chen Wenshan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's better to be patient!"

Chen snorted and said, "Your father is not just a coward, he is so scared of Su Daqiang!"

Chen Wenshan's old face pulled: "Madam, what do you know? Su Daqiang is a local rich gentry, and almost all the rich and gentry in Qingyang County wear a pair of pants. I am the county magistrate, so what can I do to him?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao probably understood why Chen Wenshan was afraid of Su Daqiang.

Because in a place, although the government is an official department, some of the local economy and resources are in the hands of some wealthy gentry.

A squire mainly refers to a special class that is rich, cultured, prestigious and socially renowned in the local area.

Most of them are admitted by the imperial examination, but have not become an official or failed.

As well as local educated landlords, former officials who are unemployed or dismissed from their posts and retired.

There are also clan elders and other influential figures in the village.

A squire is a commoner, but above a commoner. He is not an official, and his status is sometimes no less than that of an official.

They are both important part of local affairs with officials and are often called officials and gentry. In addition, gentry has the opportunity to interact with merchants, and many people do business themselves, and are often called gentry merchants.

Therefore, the squire has connections, money, face, and some have backgrounds.

In the local area, it is similar to the nobles. Once they are united, the government sometimes looks like decorations.

Because these gentry are rich, they often manage a place instead of the government.

This situation is particularly prominent in the remote southwest.

Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the government is difficult to manage, so large local families are managing the military and political affairs.

These big families, called the Tusi family, are basically big families that have been passed down for many years.

I won’t say much about this, just talking about this county. If Su Daqiang is really wearing a pair of pants with the gentry and businessmen here, then Chen Wenshan is afraid of him, it would be very reasonable!

Just as he was thinking, Su Daqiang shouted angrily: "Gou County Magistrate, will your team be given or not? If you don't get out of here, I'm not polite!"

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Damn, I'm used to being rampant!"

"Hmph, I'm so rampant, what can you do? Get out of here if you know the truth!" Su Daqiang shouted angrily.

Chen Xiao's face darkened: "Then you have met your opponent today. I have always been very rampant. If I don't let you go on this road today, what can you do?"

Su Daqiang glared with big eyes, but Chen Xiao was not afraid at all.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Su Daqiang said coldly: "Okay, okay, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Today I am rushing to the church to not get entangled with you. When another day, I will come to the county government to find you!"

Su Daqiang said, riding a horse, staggering the county yard team and continuing to move forward. When he passed by Chen Xiao's carriage, his eyes were staring at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao also looked at him, then walked into the carriage and said, "Go away!"

The two teams were staggered, and when the carriage passed by the sedan chair, they clearly heard the cry of the woman inside.

Chen Xiao asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you say that the bride can't live for a month?"

Chen Wenshan sighed: "This Su Daqiang is cruel, lustful and greedy. He married a total of seventeen women, except for the first woman, all sixteen of the others died.

The reason is very simple. He beats and scolds the concubines, and suffers all kinds of torture. He beats them to death with a disagreement. No concubine can last for a month."

"That's right, someone dares to marry him?" Long Jiuling spoke.

Chen said: "You don't know that Jiuyao, there is nothing that Su Daqiang likes. If he doesn't agree, he will kill your whole family."

"What's wrong? Dad, don't care?" Chen Xiao was stunned.

"There is no evidence. Although everyone knows it, they are doing it neatly. Besides, how can I arrest you? I didn't tell you that he is the head of a rich gentry in Qingyang County." Chen Wenshan was helpless.

Chen Xiao nodded, probably understanding the situation.

"Son, you shouldn't provoke him. My father manages Qingyang County. In order to reach an agreement with the rich and gentry, he still relies on Su Daqiang..." Chen Wenshan said.

Chen Xiao disdained: "It's just a poisonous sting, just pull it out!"

"The poisonous sting? Pulled it? Alas, I'm afraid he will stab me to death..." Chen Wenshan smiled bitterly.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I'll pull it out."

Chen Wenshan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally sighed and didn't say anything.

Returning to the county government office, the familiar place made Chen Xiao feel very intimate.

When Long Jiuling came back, he seemed much more comfortable.

The family chatted a lot in the hall, and soon it became darker.

"You guys talk, I'll tell you to make delicious food for you. Jiuya, Xiao'er, what do you want to eat?" Chen asked.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "Don't be mine, I have a place to eat tonight!"

"Ah? Someone invites you?" Chen asked.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, isn't Su Daqiang getting married? I, the newly appointed county magistrate, should I go to the gentry leader to have a wedding bar?"

"Oh, if you want to go, you may be in trouble!" Chen Wenshan was anxious.

Chen Xiao waved his hand: "Dad, the imperial capital is so dangerous, I am still as if I am in water. What can this mere county do to me?"

Chen Wenshan showed no mercy: "But have you been demoted yet?"

Chen Xiao explained: "That's only temporary. I'll go back to the Ministry of Revenue to be an official in a few days!"

"Oh, my son is amazing, the Ministry of Revenue is so greedy for money. My Chen family is rich, hahaha..." Chen Wenshan laughed loudly, and Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment.

After turning around and leaving the hall, finding Zhou Banto and Zhao Banto, he said, "Two brothers, go to the wedding bar with me!"

When Zhou Bantou and Zhao Bantou heard this, they understood.

The two of them followed Chen Xiao for a while, but they were not afraid of anything. They got their own swords and set off with Chen Xiao!
