Song Jiang came to the county office early in the morning, and he was also the earliest of several priests in the same room. It's not that there are many busy clerical and official duties to deal with, this is a habit that Song Jiang has developed for more than ten years, he is such a person, not only is he a person with eight exquisite people, he is good friends everywhere, and he is also conscientious in his work, and he can't find a thorn in his bones.

In the entire Yuncheng County, no one who knew him Song Sanlang could say the word "bad", up to the county magistrate, down to the neighbors, all of them said the word "good" to him in unison.

No one would not dislike such a person.

But in his eyes, there is always a deeply hidden loneliness, because no matter how good he is, he is still just a ...... "Xu official"!

A superficial scenery, wherever you go, you can be warmly called "Oshi", but deep down is an inferior "untouchable"!

He never had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, because Taizong of this dynasty believed that "the establishment of the department level is also for the scholars." How can you allow the officials to rush in and steal the name of the department! Then he ordered, "From now on, the staff of the Zhongshu, the Privy Council, the Xuanhui, the Academy, the Jingbai Division, and the Zhuzhou Department shall not leave the bureau!" Since then, Xu officials have drawn an absolute dividing line with the scholar class, Xu officials are Xu officials, officials are officials, Xu officials must not take a step beyond Lei Chi to participate in the imperial examination to become a formal official, you must know, the power to participate in the imperial examination, but even the poor peasants who can't open the pot can enjoy the power!

Not only in the officialdom, the "officials" look down on the "officials", that is, in the society, the "officials" are also looked down upon by ordinary people, which is actually a very strange phenomenon, the number of officials is very small, and the huge and complex official affairs need to be done by the officials, and the officials have exercised part of their power instead of the officials, but they are not officials in the real sense. Their social status is actually very low, and it does not change because of the little power in their hands and being in the government, but because they are in the government and hold power, the officials want to suppress them even more! There is a poem: "It is difficult to decide how to do it in Luling, please see Dr. Zhu in Yizhou, the autumn moon is full of spring, and the people are like slaves." This shows that the status of the officials is lower than that of the commoners, and they are similar to the slaves of officials. But although their political status is lower than that of the common people, because of the little power in their hands, they can restrain many ordinary people, and even bully the common people. The people really despise and fear the officials!

If you are an ordinary person with no ambitions, you will not be troubled by your superficial scenery at all, but you may even enjoy it, just like Song Jiang's roommate, Zhang Wenyuan, who is also a priest, is such a person.

But he, Song Jiang, is not! He looked down on Zhang Wenyuan and his ilk from the bottom of his heart, and he even felt that Huang Zhixian, who was his top boss and was born in the Eight Classics, was just a general person who knew a little bit of literature and ink but had no real skills. But the truth is cruel, he can only endure being called a brother and brother with Zhang Wenyuan and others, enduring the groveling of Huang Zhixian, and enduring the title of "lowly official" who will always be pressed on his head! And his desire is actually not high, even if he does not have the great ideal of having a heart for his family and country, pitying the people of the world and seeking benefits for the people, he just feels that he is not worse than others, he just wants to get rid of the identity of this lowly official as soon as possible and become a real "official", so that he can really raise his head and be an official!

Fortunately, for him, there is still a hope, although the hope of changing from "official" to "official" with extremely harsh conditions is so slim, but it is enough for him Song Jiang to be fascinated. That's why he has to work so hard and be such a person, and what he wants is that when that day really comes, those "officials" can be the first to consider him Song Jiang.

Fortunately, in addition to officialdom and folk, there is also a place called "Jianghu" in this world, where many people have heard his name Song Jiang, and everyone who sees him is also respectful and sincere when they see him, and more importantly, many of them are not reckless, but civil and military generals in important positions everywhere, and he has really made friends with such characters over the years, and their official positions are even much higher than that of Huangzhi County.

Song Jiang believes that with his own persistence, he will one day be able to realize his dream ......!

"Song Abshi, there are people outside asking to see you." A voice sounded at the door, Song Jiang came back to his senses and looked around, it turned out that a servant was talking to him,

Song Jiang nodded and asked with a pleasant face, "Oh?" What kind of people are they? ”

The official immediately replied, "There are two people, one is a tall man, and the other is a white descendant, who claims to be a passer-by, and has come to visit you." ”

Song Jiang nodded, this kind of thing was not uncommon for him, and people from the rivers and lakes who had heard of his name often came to visit him, although most of them came to ask for money in their pockets. Treat such people, give some money and take care of a meal, and a good reputation will spread again.

As soon as Song Jiang touched his body, he still had a little scattered money, so he got up and said, "Okay, you go and get busy, I'll go out and have a look by myself." ”

The official turned around and left, and secretly said in his heart that Song Zhisi was the best, although he was short and black, he never put on a face, and he was the most polite and polite, no wonder the officials of the county government liked him the most.

Song Jiang walked out of the house, walked through the corridor of the county office, and came to the door of the county government after a while.

Song Jiang looked outside, and saw that there were really two people outside the county office, one of them was a young student with a neat spirit, not only was he handsome, but he also exuded a spirit from top to bottom, which made people can't help but take a few more looks.

Song Jiang couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw it, and said secretly: "It's too similar, if it weren't for the ordinary plainclothes he was wearing, he would really be a little similar to his brother Hua who was far away in Qingfeng Village in terms of figure and temperament!" This person must be able to make friends, and he will definitely make friends after a while. ”

Song Jiang looked at the other person again, but he was shocked in his heart!

But seeing that this person is more than eight feet, his eyes are blazing, his momentum is calm, his confidence is like a flower, and his bearing is better than Chao Gai, although he only stands with a faint smile, that style is Huang Zhixian can't compare to him.

Song Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, these two people definitely didn't know each other! And looking at this, they are definitely not the kind of people who will come to them to borrow money and eat, so who are they?! Why did such a person come to find himself?

Song Jiang was stunned, and the big man had already smiled and said, "But 'timely rain' Song Sanlang?" ”

Song Jiang nodded hurriedly, "It's here, may I ask ...... Your Excellency?" ”

"My name is Zheng Fei."
