The officials of Bocheng County have all worked under Zhen Mengde, and they have been doing it for many years, and one thing is certain, that is, they are all people who have no ability and only think about messing around all day long.

To say that they have no ability and only think about messing around every day is definitely not an exaggeration, nor is it an insult to them, but a fact.

Because it is impossible for anyone with the ability to be willing to work under Zhen Mengde, and it can even be said that people who are a little bit shameless are not necessarily willing to work under Zhen Mengde.

If Zhen Mengde has only been an official in Bocheng County for a few years, then he has no ability to change the atmosphere of Bocheng County officialdom, but he has worked in Bocheng County for half his life, and from the outside, he is just a confused mess all day long.

However, he was mixed up with the county order, and he was in charge for many years.

Then, this will inevitably create an illusion for the officials in Bocheng County, that is, they don't need to work, they just need to hum and haha, anyway, as long as they don't make mistakes, then they can get on if they are deficient, and finally become a successful official.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, transportation was not developed, the spread of information was not fast, and there were even many people who never left their hometowns in their lives, which determined that most people's knowledge was limited.

Under the influence of Zhen Mengde's county order, many people in the county thought that being an official should be like this, unless it was an official sent from abroad, but after all, it was a minority, and the officials sent from abroad came and went quickly, and no one wanted to waste time here.

Zhen Mengde has been a county magistrate for so long, and everyone under his subordinates who has a little face and a little ability can see that he has no future here, so they all find a way to leave.

So what kind of people can stay? That is, people who don't care too much about their cheeks and don't have much ability can mix a piece of food and silver under Zhen Mengde.

Of course, it is not right to say that these officials have no ability at all, and they still have a little trick in their ability to make money.

Of course, these officials who have won the beauty difference have to go out on business, because the beauty difference assigned to them by Wu Penghui is to go out on business.

But when these officials left home to go on business, no one sent letters home, and certainly no money sent home.

The letter can't be returned, let alone the money, it's completely impossible.

But for these officials and other family members at home, I feel very unhappy, since they have all obtained the difference in beauty, and it is also the kind of fat difference with a lot of oil and water, then if you don't send the money home, this is a bastard behavior, is it possible to raise other women outside?

Of course, these family members have to find a way to inquire, but who can they ask? That is, to Wu Penghui and his subordinates, but it was okay not to ask, but as soon as he inquired, he was imprisoned.

The women wept bitterly and told how they were deceived, Wu Penghui's guy not only deceived them, but also deceived their whole family, which was a heinous crime and should be cut by a thousand knives.

Li Rizhi's face was expressionless, and after listening to it for a while, he understood what was going on, no matter what, even if those officials didn't write the word "greed" on their heads, then "incompetent" or "stupid", such words would not be wronged on their heads.

At least their wives can attest to this, they are all locked up like this, and if their husbands are not stupid, can they be described as clever?

Wang Erhao brought hot water and told the woman and the children to wash their hands and faces, and then he ran to the kitchen and made a pot of hot soup, which he brought to the women and children to drink.

Of course, this pot of hot soup was not left by the horses, but Wang Erhao made it himself, and it would not take much time to make a soup, and he was also very sympathetic to these women and children.

Wang Er had a kind idea in his heart, he was also a big official who came with Chang'an, saved the families of the officials, and served him so diligently, so when the matter is over, will the officials thank him?

It should be, then won't he be developed in the future, maybe he can be a petty official!

Li Rizhi no longer listened to the women's confessions, he walked to the gate of the post station, looked out the door, and saw that there were still pedestrians passing by on the road, and the pedestrians seemed to be unaware of everything that happened in the post station.

Li Rizhi beckoned a pedestrian, he took out a string of copper coins from his arms, stuffed them into the hands of pedestrians, and said: "This official wants to entrust you with something, you go into the city to find the county office, and shout at the gate, 'I know where Inspector Li is', naturally someone will ask you where Inspector Li is, you can bring these people to me, and when you come back, I will give you a gold tael!" ”

After speaking, he took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms and shook them at the pedestrians.

Pedestrians are a little confused, what happened in the county, what changes have occurred in the officialdom, as an ordinary person, it is impossible for him to know, and he can't understand what Li Rizhi asked him to do, but understanding is one thing, but the copper money in his hand is another thing, the copper money is genuine.

The pedestrian said, "This son, are you an official master?" You let the villain go to the gate of the county government to shout, this is not difficult, as long as you give me money, you will call me wherever you want! But there is one thing I have to make clear to you in advance, what should I do if the servants in the yamen see me yelling and come out and beat me? I'm afraid that one or two gold won't be enough for this soup and medicine! ”

Li Rizhi smiled, he didn't expect that the person he found turned out to be a little green skin with a lot of ideas, this guy has a bit of a scoundrel's temperament, and he can even think of the cost of soup and medicine, which is also worthy of praise, it seems that he used to ask for a lot of soup and medicine.

Li Rizhi said: "Don't worry, they won't beat you, if you do, then I will give you ten times the cost of the decoction, one tael of gold is not enough, I will give you ten taels!" ”

The pedestrian shouted, "Okay, then I'll go right away!" He ran to the county seat.

Li Rizhi turned around and entered the post station, he also wanted to take a good rest now, it is impossible for Xiangma to come back, if what he expected is good, then according to the principle that thieves eat thieves and get fatter, at this time, maybe Xiangma has begun to fight at this time.

However, the plan of the head of the horse is really bold enough, and in terms of boldness, even Li Rizhi has to admire them.

The pedestrian, who had won the copper coin, ran all the way to the gate of the county government as fast as he had failed in the fight, but he did not immediately shout.

This pedestrian thought to himself: "Anyway, I have already taken this string of copper coins, what if I only take the money and do nothing?" Anyway, whether I do it or not, this string of copper coins belongs to me!

If I shouted at the gate of the county government at this time, and I would have been beaten, wouldn't it be bad if I was put in prison, and how could I know that the person who gave me the money was a real official, and if he was just joking with me, and if the rich people were playing a joke with us poor people, then wouldn't I be unlucky, and I would not have been able to get the rest of the gold! ”

As soon as he hesitated, he delayed time, he lingered at the door of the county government for a long time, and then he stomped his feet, rich and dangerous, if he didn't take the risk, how could he get the gold flower?

Whether it's true or not, give it a try!

He stood at the door, let go of his throat and shouted, "I know where Inspector Li is, I know where Inspector Li is!" ”
