Since Wu Kai took the initiative to come to the door and had a 'cordial and friendly' conversation with Li Zhixian, Master He's mansion finally had the appearance of a temporary county office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Outside the gate of the house, a standing cage and a Dengwen drum were added, and the front hall was also transformed into a public hall, with steps repaired, public cases were placed, and banners of 'avoidance' and 'silence' were set up, and a plaque hanging high by the mirror was hung.

However, after the renovation of this new public hall was completed, the first to use it was not Li Zhixian, but Wu Song Wujilang.

Of course, Wu Song did not intend to hear any cases here - that was not within his scope of business.

The reason why he was promoted to the court was to gather all the officials, introduce them to Lin Dengwan and Shi Qian, and then ...... Scold this group of rubbish.

"A bunch of rubbish! You patrol the streets every day, but let Liangshan's spies enter the land of no one three times or twice, no wonder my brother let me take office and then dismissed you! Wu Song said, grabbed the startling wood of the new work, and slammed it on the table with a snap~.

The dozens of scolded servants were nothing, but they startled Shi Qian, who was sitting on the left side of the steps, and almost slipped to his knees on the ground - this movement was really a bit frightening to a person who had been a thief not long ago.

But he's not the only one who can't sit still.

After the public case, Wu Songlong was in the middle, Luan Tingyu on the left was also Gu Panshengwei, and Lin Dengwan on the right was at a loss since he sat on the chair, his eyes skimmed over everyone, staring directly at the open space outside the door, making people wonder what he was thinking.

In fact, Lin Dengwan's mind is blank right now.

Although yesterday, at the behest of Yu Xiu'er, he carefully inquired about Cao Yang and Song Xiong's functions and responsibilities of the capital, as well as how to handle official affairs in ordinary times.

But he really sat on the top of the public hall, looking at the dozens of officials who were rampant and domineering on the street on weekdays, and when they all bowed to themselves - Yu Xiu'er's explanation, Cao Yang and Song Xiong's teachings, all flew out of the clouds.

For a moment, he almost couldn't even remember who he was or what he was doing in this courtroom!

But it was said that Wu Song pointed at those officials and scolded for a while, and then the words changed and said with a straight face: "I should have fired you all according to my brother's wishes!" However, I thought that I had a little incense with you, so I made a guarantee in front of my brother and allowed you to make meritorious contributions! ”

As he spoke, he picked up a list from the public case, glanced at it a few times, and then continued: "At present, there are 47 officials in this county, including the prison and the tax collectors guarding the door!" From now on, all your usual errands and temporary assignments will be counted in the scope of the assessment, and you will be considered to stay after a month as you wish - but in the end there will be no more than 30 people left, that is, at least 17 people will be fired! ”

Hearing such a high elimination rate, the officials in the audience finally couldn't help but be in an uproar, if the former county lieutenant Xia Gongji was replaced, everyone would be excited, and they would have a theory - just in the face of masters like Wu Song and Luan Tingyu, who would dare to come out of nowhere?

only whispered and complained, but no one dared to stand up and say the first half of the word 'no'.

Syllable~

Seeing this, Wu Song slapped the wood fiercely and scolded: "What are you arguing about? If you want to rebel, you can't?! ”

When the officials stopped talking, he said again: "If you don't want to be eliminated, just give me a good job!" Besides, if you do a good job, I'll ...... here."

"Lord County Lieutenant, Lord County Captain!"

At this moment, a servant outside the door suddenly shouted: "Your house has sent some things, look ......?"

Did the house send something?

Wu Song was a little puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that his brother had thought of any tricks?

Then he commanded, "Wait here, and I will come." ”

When he left the table and walked out of the court, he saw Monk Huineng leading two subordinates standing in the corner, with a large box beside him.

"Huineng, what did my brother ask you to send?"

Wu Song asked in his mouth, but without waiting for Huineng to answer, he approached and lifted the lid of the box, only to see that it was full of silver ingots, not to mention seven or eight hundred taels.

[Author: I originally wanted to respond to the call of the party and write this place as copper coins, but after careful calculation, 700 taels of silver {about 45 kilograms} were converted into copper coins and weighed nearly 3 tons! At least a dozen large boxes would have to be carried by twenty or thirty people! 】

"It's ......"

Wu Song picked up two ingots and knocked on each other—yes, they were both genuine silver ingots.

But what does it mean that my brother asked people to carry so much silver to the county office?

"The ancestor said that the New Year is coming soon, so I will give you some dividends first, so that everyone can have a fat year." The corners of Hui Nengle's mouth were almost grinning to the root of his ears, and he explained excitedly: "The monk team is thirty taels for one person, and the little monk is not talented, because he is in charge of some mundane things, he gets ten taels more!" ”

It is said that the monks don't care about things outside their bodies, but in fact, how many monks don't like these white flowers and shiny little things?

After a pause, Hui Neng pointed to the silver in the box and said, "Here are six hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels for Luan Dutou, one hundred taels for Lin Dutou and Shi Bantou, and forty taels for Cao Yang and Song Xiong each." ”

Speaking of Luan Tingyu's two hundred taels of silver, he didn't think there was anything, but when it came to Lin Dengwan and Shi Qian's one hundred taels each, Huineng couldn't help but pout, only feeling that these two people were really shit luck.

"Two hundred, one hundred, one hundred, forty ......"

Wu Song wrenched his fingers and counted for a while, wondering, "Isn't there still two hundred and twenty taels here?" It's not for me! ”

"If the second master is short of silver, it's not a matter of words?" Huineng said with a smile: "The remaining two hundred and twenty taels are for the second master to 'dispose of by yourself'." ”

said 'dispose of it yourself', but Huineng turned his head to look at the officials in the court, obviously meaning something.

"I see!"

Wu Song took the box under his arm, strode back to the hall, threw it in front of those officials, picked the lid of the box with his toes, and laughed: "But it turned out that my brother was afraid that you would have a bad year, so he sent you silver!" Luan Dutou, here are your two hundred taels of silver, Lin Dengwan...... There is still time to change, the two of you are one hundred taels each, and Song Xiong and Cao Yang are forty taels each! ”

As he spoke, he bent down and took out two hundred taels of silver from it and personally delivered it to Luan Tingyu, but as for the others, they didn't have this treatment, so they could only come forward to receive it by themselves.

However, no one felt that there was anything wrong with the differential treatment of this red fruit, and even a few parties felt that Luan Tingyu was qualified to be respected by the Wu brothers - after all, the martial arts of the family were not under Wu Song.

As for the other four......

In the hearts of the officials, there are a hundred dissatisfied, unsatisfied, resentful, what kind of goods Cao Yang and Song Xiong are, needless to say, everyone knows!

As for the shift of the head of the fast class, I heard that he is a famous thief on the road, and it is already a great wonder that he is the head of the team in such an identity, and there is even a silver for white flowers to receive, which is simply unreasonable!

But the one who makes everyone envious and jealous the most is Lin Dengwan.

What was this guy's identity before?

It's just a dilapidated settlement outside the city, and even the family's house collapsed when it snowed.

Such a person hates dogs, but he blocked a knife for Nawu Dalang, broke two ribs, and was suddenly lifted to the position of the capital!

Now I don't want to talk about the silver with white flowers, I heard that there is a beautiful woman at home, and it is just infuriating!

So one by one, the officials secretly glared at Lin Dengwan, and they all hated to replace each other - not to mention one knife, even if they were stabbed ten times and twenty ribs broken, some people were willing!

Not to mention how the officials were envious, jealous and hateful, it was said that when Song Xiong saw the silver of the white flowers, his eyes were about to jump out, and he was about to step forward and take his share first, but Cao Yang stretched out his hand to hold it and reminded him in a low voice: "You fool, how dare you rush in front of Lin Dengwan and Shi Bantou?!" ”

Shi Qian also thought so, so the three of them looked at Lin Dengwan together.

Lin Dengwan was still in a daze, until Wu Song couldn't see it and kicked him lightly in the leg, and he suddenly came to his senses.

When he heard that there was a hundred taels of silver in this box, this guy almost went stupid again!

Finally, under Wu Song's repeated urging, Lin Dengwan walked to the box step by step, but he was not in a hurry to get the money, but fell to his knees with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Buddha for the reward!" I Lin Dengwan is broken bones, and I want to repay the kindness of the Buddha! ”

For his actions, everyone felt that it was normal - if there was such a benefit for himself, it would be worth the blood!

When it was Shi Qian's turn, he was not as excited as Lin Dengwan at first, after all, Shi Qian was also a famous thief on the road, and he had seen a lot of more silver than this box.

It's just that when he arrived at the edge of the box, more than forty pairs of eyes were nailed to him at once, and Shi Qian couldn't be calm anymore.

In the past, when he 'took' the silver, if he was seen, his eyes were often filled with contempt, disgust, and spit......

And now in these eyes, the most is hot envy!

Only this change made Shi Qian's heart a little excited, and then thinking that he was in the public court, relying on his ability to take money in an upright manner, he couldn't wait for this moment to be as long as possible.

This is the life he wants!

So Shi Qian, who has always stretched out his hand quickly and is known as the fastest hand in Shandong, spent a full half a quarter of an hour on these ingots of silver - that conspicuous appearance made all the officials hate to pounce on him and bite him to death.

When Song Xiong and Cao Yang also received the silver, Wu Song sat at the back of the public case, and asked the officials casually: "By the way, these days, have you received your salary?" ”

In one sentence, it made the officials in the audience overturn the five-flavor altar, and they all complained bitterly:

"My lord, it's been two months, and I haven't gotten a penny!"

"Yes, my lord, the county magistrate originally came to pay us salaries when he returned to the city, but when he came back, he said that the treasury was stolen and he couldn't get the silver!"

"My lord, I haven't received my salary for more than three months, and now the people on this street look down on us, and I can't get a few big men at all!"

"My lord, I can't open the pot in my house for several days!"

"Adult ......"

Among these officials, in addition to the original team leaders, most of them are only temporary workers, and their usual salaries are already pitiful, and they all rely on extortion to get by.

But since they fled out of the city in embarrassment, this gray income has dropped greatly - even if they later returned to the county seat, because they lost their prestige, no one feared them anymore.

"That's it!"

Wu Song waited for them to complain and complain, and then said: "This one by one is more pitiful than calling Huazi!" There is a saying that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers, and since I want you to do a solid errand, I will not treat you badly - you will share the remaining two hundred and twenty silver! ”

After a pause, he said: "As long as you work hard, I will not lose your benefits in the future!" And now there are still three empty positions, if anyone makes a contribution, I will be promoted without asking about my background and qualifications!

When all the officials heard this, they were overjoyed, and they didn't know who took the lead and knelt down first, and in the blink of an eye, they all knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "I am willing to die for the county captain!" ”

You must know that these officials can receive two or five or six yuan a month, and those who are less have always come out, and they are always owed wages by the county.

Now these two hundred and twenty taels are divided into one cent according to the head, and each person can receive at least four taels of silver, which can cover their salary for two or three months!

And what's even more exciting is the position of those team leaders - after being the head of the work, not to mention the treatment to catch up with that time, it is still okay to be on a par with Cao Yang and Song Xiong, right? Wouldn't you be able to make a hundred and ten taels of silver that year?!

Originally, when everyone heard that they were going to lay off employees, they were not happy in every way, but now except for a few who really don't want to be motivated, they are all gearing up.
