"First go find an inn to stay, and then go and check it slowly." Zhou Chong suggested.

Fusu and the others thought that Zhou Chong's proposal was fine, so they had no objection. Qi said: "It depends entirely on the master's opinion."

After entering the city, he saw a Yuelai Inn shortly after a distance. Zhou Chong said, "Just go to this house, what do you think?"

"Just this one, the master chose it right." Fusu slapped his horse on his back, and trotted to the inn with a horse under his crotch. Fusu grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and got off the horse, and said, "Shopkeeper, we want to stay in a hotel, open a few rooms."

The shopkeeper who was lying on the verge of settlement raised his head and smiled and said, "Okay! Guest, how many rooms do you want? The room in the small shop is the best in our Pei County."

Zhou Chong, Fusu, Chen Ping and his wife, and some guards, had at least seven or eight rooms. Fusu didn't care about these trivial matters and said, "We have many shopkeepers, just look at it, just settle down."

Don't worry, you have enough money." Take out a ingot and put it on the cabinet, and said, "You can collect it first, and then replenish it if you don't have enough."

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "Thank you, guest! Waiter, pull down the guest's horse, add more fodder and feed some water. Guest, please, please upstairs, please upstairs!"

Zhou Chong and the others handed the horse reins to the waiter and followed the shopkeeper upstairs. When they arrived upstairs, the shopkeeper opened the room. Zhou Chong took a look. Although the furnishings in the house were not good, they were still neat. It was very good to have such a room in this small place.

The shopkeeper settled Zhou Chong and the others and said, "Dear guests, please rest first. If you have any questions, please give me instructions. You must do it."

Fusu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go and do your business."

The shopkeeper responded and stepped out, muttering: "I'm worried that the money I don't have enough money to give gifts to the county magistrate, now it's time to go. The guest is really generous, and this gift will be settled."

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and the Fusu Er sounds very well. He can understand it in the house, stick out his head and said, "Shopkeeper, please come back."

The shopkeeper trotted back and said, "Customer, what are your instructions?"

"Come in first, I have something to ask you." Fusu went straight to the point and said, "You muttered that you want to give gifts to the county magistrate. I asked you, is your county magistrate corrupt officials, extortion, and forcing you to give gifts?"

The shopkeeper slapped himself on the face and said, "Look at my broken mouth. I like to talk nonsense. Guest, don't mind, it's not giving gifts to the county magistrate, but to the county magistrate's friends."

Fusu's face darkened and said, "What kind of decent thing is this? The county magistrate's friend is so arrogant. What's the reason for asking you to give him gifts? His friends are so distorted. He is not bad at all. Is he arbitrary?

Fish and meat people?"

"Oh, guest official, don't think so. Our county magistrate is a good person. He is as honest as water and dare not say anything. At least he will not accept any gifts when we give him." The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "He has posted a request for his birthday.

I gave him a birthday gift of 100 taels of silver, but he refused to accept it. We all know that our county magistrate is a good official. What's even more rare is that his subordinate Xiao Zhuzhu was smart and capable. Although he was young, he was as good as an elder.

Guest Master, did you see the people entering the city and walking to the right? Going out of the city and walking to the left? These are all the meaning of Master Xiao. In the past, the city gate was always crowded, and since this method was implemented.

Hey, let alone, the place that was originally crowded was actually in order.”

Chen Ping took the aisle and said, "We know this, it's true. But don't talk so far. Why do you give gifts to your friends of the county magistrate?"

The shopkeeper explained: "Your guest, you are from another place, so naturally you don't know. Our county is good and honest as an official. What's even more rare is that he is very righteous to others. He has a friend named Lu, and because he has made enemies with others in his hometown, he comes to surrender to him.

Mr. Lu has two sons and two daughters. There are several people with his family. He has to eat and dress, which requires expenses.

"Our county magistrate is a clean official, so his salary is naturally not enough. What should I do? Master Xiao gave him an idea, saying that he would send a petition, invite us businessmen to drink, and introduce his friends to us.

Guest, think about it, the county magistrate’s friend is here, can we not give a gift? What’s more, the county magistrate is a good official, and we respect him in our hearts and help him solve his difficulties, which is also happy.”

Fusu said decisively: "Who is his friend? You want to give gifts. If his parents come, don't you still want to give them? Can you finish all these things?"

The shopkeeper was busy defying, "You can't say that. As for people, there is always an inconvenient time, and it is inevitable that you are on the tight side. Isn't the county magistrate helpless?

The guest official, I didn't tell you, but I was willing to pay the money, but I didn't want the county magistrate to be a corrupt official.

Guest, think about it, if the county magistrate is a corrupt official, there is some money, and his friend will just give him a sum of money when he comes. We will have nothing to do with it, but the hardships are still the common people.”

Fusu's face was gloomy, and Chen Ping waved: "Shopkeeper, go down first. We will call you if you have any questions."

The shopkeeper responded and stepped out.

Chen Ping persuaded Fusu: "Crown Prince, although the county magistrate's move is hindered by the law, it is a last resort. The store owner makes sense. If he is a corrupt official, he will give him a sum of silver directly.

He set up a banquet to treat him. Although his intention was not right, it was not harmful. The prince did not need to take it to his heart."

Zhou Chong nodded and said, "There are many things in the world that are difficult to understand and rationally. As long as it is not too much, you can ignore it. The county magistrate did this, which means that he is still a good official.

When his friend comes, he has no life, and he doesn’t have that much money to support him. If he finds something to do, he will blame others. He also needs to avoid suspicion. He openly accepts some gifts to help his friend overcome difficulties, but he will not miss a proper way."

Fusu walked a few steps and nodded, "The reason is this principle, but it is hard to accept for a while. I thought about it, this county magistrate is good, and this chief clerk Xiao is even better. I want to see it."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "I have this intention, but I don't know what the master wants?"

Zhou Chong nodded and said, "I think so too. I'm thinking, this must be very lively, so it's okay to go and have a look.
