The official asked more: "The jailer has also gone, won't there be no one to guard the prisoner?" ”

Before Li Xiancheng could speak, Li Xiancheng said angrily: "We can't think of anything you can think of?" You won't be in the yamen tomorrow. ”

Then he pointed to another official and asked, "Did you hear what Lord Xiancheng said just now?" ”

"I hear you." The official trembled and replied urgently.

Li County Lieutenant said lightly: "Very good, go on an errand, and if you do it, I will promote you to the fast class!" ”

The official said excitedly: "Lord Xie." With that, he hurried away.

Seeing that the previous official was still standing in place, his face was pale, and he said angrily: "Don't get out of here!" ”

The officer bit his lip and withdrew.

Li Xiancheng smiled and said, "Brother Li, why should he be as knowledgeable as this lowly official. ”

"Brother Li is the person I admire the most, this guy actually dares to question Brother Li, how can I tolerate him?" Lieutenant Li said with a smile.

There are three classes of officials in the Nantang County Ya, which are the soap class - responsible for standing in the county office, running errands, catching cars, and cooking;

Fast shift (fast catching) - responsible for arraignment, anti-theft, and grain collection;

Zhuang Ban – responsible for guarding the city gates, yamen, prisons, and warehouses. She County is a lower county, with three classes of 50 people each, a total of 150 officials.

Although they are the same three classes, their status is very different, the highest status is to catch fast, not only ordinary people are afraid of them, even some rich people do not dare to offend them easily, and it is easiest to get oil and water.

The second is the Zhuang class, although they are not as good as catching fast and majestic, but it is not difficult to fish for oil and water.

The worst thing to mix is the soap class, which is neither majestic nor easy to make money, and is generally responsible for running errands, and is at the bottom of the bureaucracy.

Li Xiancheng made arrangements and smiled at County Lieutenant Li and the other two colleagues: "Let's go and greet our county commander together." ”

After waiting outside the county government for a long time, Lu Yuan suddenly saw two columns running out of the yaya. After another while, four officials in cyan official uniforms led a group of people out.

It's getting dark now, but seeing that the county government is so lively, a lot of people have gathered around.

Among the four officials, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked at the front and asked, "May I ask which one is the newly appointed prefectural magistrate?" ”

"I am." Lu Yuan responded.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The next official is Li Wencheng, the county leader of this county, I don't know if the adult can bring the appointment letter?" ”

"Lord Li, please take a look." Qin Li handed over the letter of appointment.

Li Xiancheng took a closer look, and there was a simple description of Lu Yuan's age and appearance, so he looked at Lu Yuan quietly while looking at it, and seeing that there was no problem with the appointment letter, Li Xiancheng bowed down and said:

"The lower official Li Wencheng led all the officials to welcome Lord Lu to take office, the back house has been cleaned, and the adults can move in immediately."

A clerk held a large jade seal and said, "Lord Lu, this is your official seal." ”

Another official held a black disc and said, "Lord Lu, your official uniform!" ”

Lu Yuan motioned for Qin Li to take it, it was the first time for him to experience the scene of so many people kneeling for him, he felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, please get up." ”

Suddenly, a carriage came in the distance, and a man walked quickly in the middle of the carriage, and said something in the ear of a servant.

The official walked up to Li Xiancheng and said a few words in his ear, and Li Xiancheng smiled:

"Lord Lu, Chen Yuanwai of this county heard that you have taken office, and wants to invite you to listen to the play in his garden, along with many local gentry, famous scholars and talents.

Pingle Fang's Oiran Ping Red Sleeve Girl, Shezhou's first Lingwan Lan are also invited, your fame is far and wide, everyone wants to pay tribute to your poetic talent! ”

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy beforehand." ”

He glanced at Miss Sun, who was a little uneasy when she saw that he was surrounded by officials, but when she saw him coming, she nodded hurriedly and said to Xu Yun: "Brother Yun, go and beat the drum!" ”

Xu Yun saw that there were so many officials standing at the door, how could he dare to beat the drum in front of them? Swallowing his saliva, he said, "I'll go play the drum when they get in." ”

Old Man Xu glared at him and said, "If you don't go, I'll go!" ”

He was leaning on crutches and wanted to beat the drum, but a servant had already noticed him approaching and stopped in front of him: "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Yuan shouted: "Get out of the way!" The official was startled and quickly flashed aside.

Knock knock! Hearing the sound of drums, Lu Yuan raised his voice and said: "Someone beats the drum to voice grievances, everyone is ready to ascend to the hall, and everyone is doing their job!" ”

Li Xiancheng and the three of them looked at each other, a little at a loss for a while, Lu Yuan walked a few steps and saw that the officials didn't move, and shouted:

"Why don't you move? Whoever dares to hesitate again will be punished by this official for a crime of dereliction of duty! ”

Li Xiancheng had already seen that the person who played the drum was the Xu family, and his mind was racing, and he said: "My lord, it's getting late now, so it's better to ascend to the church tomorrow." ”

Lu Yuan knew that as long as they were given time to prepare, there would be a lot of trouble, and said:

"You and I can wait, but we can't wait! If someone comes, go and fetch a lantern, and if there are not enough lanterns, use a torch, and the official will be judged at night. ”

Seeing that the officials were all standing still, Lu Yuan thought that he must take the opportunity to stand up, otherwise it would be difficult to shock the people in the future, and shouted: "Where is the head of the third class?" ”

Ding Zhutou hurriedly stood up and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"You are the head of the officials, and the officials are derelict in their duties, and this official must not fail to deal with you, and from now on, you will be removed from the post of head hunter." He decided to start with the head catcher with real power.

Ding Zhutou was shocked and said, "My lord, you-" He couldn't believe his ears.

Lu Yuan ignored him anymore and said loudly to everyone:

"Colleagues, this official doesn't want to be a leisurely county magistrate, and fight against you every day to sing poems, singing and dancing.

But this time, the official was entrusted by the Jiedu envoy to come to rectify Shexian County, if I can't do this important thing, how to explain to the Jiedu envoy? And how to explain to the villagers and people in the county? ”

At present, the power of the county government is still in the hands of the other party, and in order to prevent Li Xiancheng and these people from turning their faces in public, he moved the mountain of Ning Guohou out.

When the onlookers heard Lu Yuan say that he wanted to give an account to the people, someone immediately called for good.

A few people from Yufengzhai also arrived outside the county yamen, their feet were very fast, although they set off later than Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan's front foot just arrived at the county office, and they followed on the back foot.

"Miss, this officer looks like a good official." It was a tall man who spoke.

"Not necessarily." The woman in white is no stranger to officialdom, and knows that many officials have one thing in their mouths and another in their backs.

Lu Yuan continued to lecture the officials, his expression was solemn, his voice was low, and in the eyes of those officials, it was really a bit of deterrence:

"If you don't cooperate with me, then I can't do a good job, and I can only lose my official position and abandon my post. But before that, I can get you all dismissed, do you understand? ”

Li Xiancheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I understand." ”

The other officials also made their voices one after another, but their voices were low, like flies chirping.

"All louder!"

"Got it!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "You didn't understand. He shouted: "Where is the leader of the Zhuang class?" ”

One of the officials suddenly weakened his legs, fell to the ground, and then stumbled and walked out: "The villain is here." Seeing that he was so timid, Lu Yutong chuckled and laughed out loud.

This person's name is Tian Yu, and he is the leader of the Zhuang class.

Lu Yuan said with a straight face: "Right now, you are the head of the third class of officials, I shouted for a long time to get the lantern torch, but I haven't taken it until now, and I will immediately remove you from the position of the head of the strong class." ”

Hearing this, Tian Yu fell to the ground again, and one of the officials suddenly shouted at the officer:

"Didn't you hear what Lord Prefectural said? Don't go get the lantern torch yet! ”

But he is the head of the soap class, he is not young, he is in his fifties, but he shows a strong desire to survive.

Neither the catcher nor the Zhuangban officials moved, but the soap class officials quickly ran into the county office, and after a while, they took out the lantern torches, and the outside of the yamen was immediately lit up.

Lu Yuan walked through the officials and said loudly to the onlookers:

"At present, there is a vacancy in the county government head catcher, I want to seek talent on the spot, which strong man is sure that he can do a good job in the county head catcher, you may wish to recommend yourself, there is only one condition, that is, you must be strong in martial arts!"

After speaking, he glanced at Hou Kaishan, but after Hou Kaishan's eyes touched him, he quickly lowered his head and did not stand up, looking hesitant.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, Hou Kaishan's reaction was a little wrong.

At this moment, two voices sounded at the same time:

"Adults, villains dare to recommend themselves."

"My lord, I can do a good job!"
