Stepping into the West Courtyard, he greeted several familiar catchers who came to him, "Old Criminal, what's wrong, have you rested at home for the past few days?" Fan Ming asked casually with a smile, a few days ago, when I was hunting for a swarm of bees, I was running outside for so many days, and many of the trappers were slightly injured, so the county lieutenant Hong took a few days off to let them recuperate at home, and these days they also returned to the yamen to continue their duties.

"Enough, enough, if you rest any longer, the bones will be loose." The old criminal responded with a smile, through the contact these days, Fan Ming gave him a very good impression, down-to-earth and friendly, although he has the identity of a county student, but he does not have the sour arrogance of a scholar at all, not only does he feel happy at all, but the other arresters in the West Courtyard also praise each other, plus who doesn't know that County Lieutenant Hong is secretly protecting him, and the future is limitless!

"That's good, the county lieutenant is inside, right?"

"Here, you go in!"

Fan Ming nodded with a smile, and walked directly to the official room where Hong Deshan was, "Lord County Lieutenant!" Gently pushing open the door, he saw Hong Deshan reclining on the wide Arhat chair, looking at the roof with his legs crossed and motionless, and he didn't even turn his head to look at the moment when Fan Ming walked to the bookcase.

Hong Deshan didn't speak, Fan Ming didn't dare to move, after standing for a long time, Hong Deshan finally sat up, looked at Fan Ming's face with scrutinizing eyes, and saw that Fan Ming's heart was furious, and he could only cough...... Laughed dryly, wanting to say something, but before Fan Ming could speak, he only heard a slight sigh, Hong Deshan pointed to the stool on the side, "Sit down!" ”

"Uncle Hong, I'm ......!" Before coming, Fan Ming thought about how to 'quibble' the past, but at the moment when he really saw Hong Deshan, he couldn't say anything about these thousands of reasons.

"You! Let me say hello! Hong Deshan shook his head, took two sips of the tea cup on the bookcase, and then put it down gently, "What did you say to those two people, tell me a good time." ”

Seeing Hong Deshan speak, Fan Ming was overjoyed, knowing that Hong Deshan was still facing him in the end, so he put down the stone in his heart, and told Hong Deshan in detail the content of the peace talks with Xie Wei'an that night, and saw that Hong Deshan's face still did not change, so he smiled and said: "I didn't expect these two people to really keep their promises, and the order on the kung fu in so many days has come down." ”

"If they don't leave, are they still waiting for you to regret it, two old foxes!" Hong Deshan scolded in his mouth, glanced at Fan Ming, shook his head and sighed, "That's it, I know you are thinking about me, I just hope you don't regret it in the future, this is your best and last chance!" ”

Hong Deshan's words are full of concern, how can Fan Ming not hear it, but everyone has his choice, and his choice is to cherish the present, maybe in the eyes of the world, this is a little unreasonable, but only in this way is the definition of human development!

Fan Ming's eyes were full of determination, "Uncle Hong, if it were my father, he would definitely let me choose like this!" ”

Without speaking, Hong Deshan paced to the window and pushed open the carved wooden window, stared at the sky for a long time, and suddenly said: "Maybe you are right, the world is disturbed, where is the head, this officialdom is just a game of chess, eating a child is not necessarily a victory, losing a son is not necessarily a defeat, in the end it depends on who holds this pattern, I am not as good as you, I am not as good as you!" ”

Life is like chess, who can discern!

As a chess piece, if they can all hold on to this pattern, this is already a great achievement, in fact, Fan Ming himself does not fully understand this truth, but only does things with his heart, but this is enough.

Hong Deshan turned around, already with a smile on his face, "Don't talk about this, you are here mainly for the reward!" ”

Fan Ming was taken aback, "Uncle Hong, how do you know?" ”

"What's so hard to guess about this, the routine in previous years is like this, but it was all distributed by Bu Xueqing personally, this time you have made such a great contribution, Wang Zhixian should leave this matter to you." Hong Deshan said it lightly, but in fact it was just a conjecture, but seeing that Fan Ming agreed, he couldn't help but be surprised that Wang Zhixian really valued Fan Ming, otherwise he would not hand over such an opportunity to win people's hearts to a new official to deal with.

Fan Mingyan couldn't answer at the moment, so he could only smile and say: "This time it's really difficult for a strong man, or the matter of this reward will be handed over to Uncle Hong!" ”

"Nonsense! You kid will make fun of your Uncle Hong, so let's do it, I'll copy a copy for you according to the usual practice in previous years, and you can divide it yourself! Hong Deshan paused, and then laughed again, "Forget my share, I should give you an early congratulatory gift for marriage." ”

"How can this work?"

"Why not!" Hong Deshan's eyes widened, "If you don't accept it, I won't go to your wedding!" ”

"Uncle Xie Hong!" Fan Ming took a step back and bowed deeply to Hong Deshan, sincerely made a big salute to Hong Deshan, and then turned around and walked out.

According to Hong Deshan's meaning, Fan Ming divided 100 of the 300 guan equally to those trappers, fast hands and cell bosses, and the other 200 guan belonged to Wang Zhixian, Hong Deshan, the two team leaders, and Fan Ming.

It's just that on the day of the penalty, there happened to be a team leader who happened to mention the news that Fan Ming was going to get married next month, and Wang Zhixian pushed the reward money to Fan Ming, because he just said it, and other people also knew that they had inherited Fan Ming's love, so that nearly half of the reward money returned to Fan Ming's hands, and it was also the wedding money that everyone gave him.

The reason why Wang Zhixian did this, first, is to praise Fan Ming's contribution to the county government during this time, and secondly, it is also to establish benevolence and trust for Fan Ming, plus this reward is really not too much, on average, there are dozens of at most, and it is very cost-effective to buy people's hearts.

That's 120 dollars!

To tell the truth, Fan Ming himself has never made such a large sum of money, considering the purchasing power factor of the current era, it is enough to buy a big house with three entrances and three exits, thinking about the difficulties of buying a house in later generations, this time he stepped into the ranks of the bourgeoisie.

In the past, there was always a knot in the heart of eating soft rice, but now it can be solved.

A hard work, a harvest, this harvest is also a good day for him Fan Ming, from a rough man working in a rural farmhouse to a formal official of the yamen today, although the process along the way is very very difficult, but this reward and this sense of accomplishment...... It's really not your average pleasure......
