Chapter 81: Collective Burdens

"What's going on?" Guo Zhiyuan couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore, and pointed at the frightened cell boss and asked sharply.

The cell boss said with a sad face and trembling: "Little... The villain also... I don't know how... What's going on! Small... The villain had... He has repeatedly asked for... Report to the Classics... Report, prison ... The cell requires... Needs to be repaired and... Reinforcement, can... But Master Dianshi said... Said that the county did not... No money......"

Guo Zhiyuan noticed that this cell is indeed not very strong, the walls are built with that kind of mud bricks, and the thickness is not enough, as long as someone should be inside and outside, it is easy to break a big hole in the wall, then Dian Shi Lu Zhichao and Wang Demin are wearing a pair of pants, it is easy to create such an opportunity.

He is still a step late, since Wang Demin instructed people to besiege the county government, he must have made careful arrangements for these people, and he is afraid that he has already run out of Gutian County at this time, and even if he wants to use the topic to play, he can easily prevaricate with the excuse of no money!

I can't blame Guo Zhiyuan for being careless, he really didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen, the county government's prison was so easily broken through a big hole and let all the prisoners inside, as for whether the cell head and a few jailers were really confused or they were ordered by Wang Demin to deliberately act in front of him, it didn't matter, everyone had already run away, even if Guo Zhiyuan was angry with this cell head and a few jailers, what was the use?

Back at the inn, Guo Zhiyuan told Xu Guangqi about the situation, Xu Guangqi was also dumbfounded, Guo Zhiyuan's mess was really bad, not to mention the poverty, none of the officials and servants under his command were obedient, and they were still acting as demons, and the tricks were endless, and Rao was Xu Guangqi's wisdom and scheming and he also felt a headache.

On the second day, Guo Zhiyuan came to the county government and convened all the staff of the county government to the second hall to discuss the matter, and everyone naturally knew that the money and grain account books were burned in the account room last night, but they all looked like nothing had happened, and no one took the initiative to speak.

"Lord Bai, has the cause of the fire in the account room been found out last night? ......" Guo Zhiyuan asked with a glance at the expressionless whiteness.

Bai Du did not answer, but made a look at Wang Demin on the side, Wang Demin stood up and said: "The cause of the fire has been identified, and it is understandable to say that the county government has not issued a government service for several months, and the officials can only cut down on food and clothing...... Although there are extenuating circumstances, but the law is not merciful, I have dismissed the official and sent him home! ……”

Here we go again! Guo Zhiyuan heard the nameless fire, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he took the case, pointed at Wang Demin and scolded angrily: "This is what you explained to the official?!" Do you think that by using a servant as a scapegoat, you will be able to stay out of the matter?! As the main bookkeeper, you are in charge of the county's money and grain, you can't make ends meet, you have no achievements, and now even the money and grain account books have been burned, what responsibility should you bear? ! You use lack of money and food to prevaricate everything, so what's the use of your main book?! ……”

Wang Demin didn't take Guo Zhiyuan's county order in his eyes at all, and sneered arrogantly: "Then what do you want?" Although you are my superior, you want to dispose of me, but I am afraid that you don't have this power! If you think that I am not doing well in this book, then please yourself*, it just so happens that the official is exhausted and unwell for the money and food in the county, and he needs to take leave to recuperate, and say goodbye! ......" After saying that, Wang Demin didn't even look at Guo Zhiyuan, so he swaggered away!

That's not all, as soon as Wang Demin left, Lu Zhichao immediately stood up, and arched his hand perfunctorily: "My lord, my old mother is seriously ill, filial piety comes first, and I also need to take leave to go home to serve my mother, and say goodbye!" ......" swaggered away after speaking.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhiqian and others also stood up to take leave as agreed, and the reasons were the same, either they were unwell, or their mother was seriously ill, and they didn't wait for Guo Zhiyuan's approval at all, so they directly followed the steps of Wang Demin and the others.

Seeing this, the leaders of the third shift and the servants in the hall also shouted: "This is almost unbearable, and we don't let the paper be burned for warmth, so we won't do it!" ......" threw the "water and fire sticks" in his hand after speaking, and ran away!

In the blink of an eye, the huge second hall suddenly became empty, except for Bai Du and a few dumbfounded officials, everyone else collectively took their burdens and ran away!

Guo Zhiyuan was so angry with these guys at first, his fists clicked, he really didn't expect these guys to do so much, and actually used the trick of collective burden to demonstrate to him, but at this time he calmed down, glanced at Bai Du, who was still sitting there expressionlessly, and said with a smile: "Bai Xiancheng, why don't you go?" ……”

Bai Du pretended to be strange and said, "Why am I leaving?" I'm in good health, and my mother is also healthy, so I naturally don't need to take leave, my duty is to assist the county order in managing the county government, but now it seems that there is nothing that needs my assistance, if the adults have no other instructions, then the lower officials will go back to the detention room to read the book......" After speaking, he also stood up and left Shi Shiran.

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Bai Du's back, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and then looked at the few officials under the hall who were still standing there like geese as if asleep, shook his head, waved his hand and said: "You guys go down too, guard the gate, don't let the idlers wait for them to break in......"

The dumbfounded officials rubbed their faces as if they had just woken up from a big dream and dragged out, Guo Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi who was frowning behind him, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, I have really become a county magistrate now, and this mess in Gutian County is really rotten!" ……”

Xu Guangqi groaned: "Don't be discouraged, as the so-called don't break or stand, that's fine, without the constraints of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the son will be better to show his strength!" ……”

gave Xu Guangqi such a boost, Guo Zhiyuan cheered up again, slapped his thigh hard and said, "Mr. is right!" Just dismantle this mess, let's build a new team, with the talent of Mr., it is more than enough to be competent for the functions of the main book and teaching, Zhang Cheng can take the responsibility of the history, Fa Zheng can be the head of the team, Chu Wan'er can also let her be the head of the head, and then recruit some capable officials, we can support this county government! ……”

At that moment, Guo Zhiyuan immediately summoned Zhang Cheng and them, and announced that they were going to form their own team, everyone was very excited, they followed Guo Zhiyuan to find a good future, and it was a good start to get the opportunity to be alone under him, but at this time, Wang Xi stood up and poured cold water, and said with a bitter face: "Young master, we have no money, and there are less than twenty taels of silver left from the capital!" ……”
