On the third pole of the day, Ying Xiaosi sat in the city lord's seat with Bai Ning's soup and took a sip, there were several small officials standing tremblingly on both sides of the main hall, and the one with the official title did not come, and no one spoke in the quiet lobby, only the sound of Ying Xiaosi stumbling and drinking soup.

"Bang dang."

Ying Xiaosi put the soup bowl on the table in front of him, although he didn't use much force, but it was still very harsh in this quiet hall, and the little officials below lowered their heads even lower, and even their breathing became short.

"Just a few of you here, what's the matter with the others who haven't even been sent?"

"Qi, Qiyu City Lord, those who didn't send anyone here were because Shangguan suddenly fell ill and threw down a lot of official duties, so that the people below were in a mess, really, I really can't spare people to come over......"

"Oh, this disease is neat, one after another is sick, it looks like it's contagious, this has to be isolated!"

Ying Xiaosi smiled slightly, and said to the little officials below: "Don't be nervous, this life, old age, sickness and death is human nature, no matter what you are waiting for, I will ask the medical workers to take a look when I go back, and then just do a good job of isolation, now you will lead the way, and the city will mainly go to the public houses to take a look." ”

"Yes!"

A few of the little officials breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter where they went, as long as they didn't suffer here.

Passing through the corridor and bypassing the side room, Ying Xiaosi followed the few officials to the office of the officials on weekdays, only to see that this is a separate courtyard, a bit similar to the administrative hall of later generations, different departments are in different rooms, and each room shares the same small courtyard, and it is convenient to coordinate any work.

When Win Xiaosi arrived, the officials inside were very busy, this official business was piled up, but there was a lack of chief officials, without this link, all the work could not be carried out, the original official duties were not completed, and the new official duties came again, if it weren't for the fact that these officials did not have a deep background and couldn't learn their own chief officials, it is estimated that they would have run away cleanly.

"Don't make any noise! The lord of the castle is here! ”

I don't know who has sharp eyes, but at a glance I saw Ying Xiaosi walking in a square step, this voice came down, everyone in the public housing suddenly quieted down, and saw Ying Xiaosi standing still in the courtyard, these officials greeted them one after another.

"Okay, okay, don't be polite, I'm not so particular about it."

Ying Xiaosi smiled and waved his hand, sat down on the low stool that he moved, looked up and looked around, but saw that there were young faces all around, there were only a few old officials who were old, these old officials had worked for most of their lives, they were as slippery as oily ghosts, and the remaining few were probably specially left to see the direction of the wind.

For these little tricks, Ying Xiaosi did not expose them, but asked with a smile: "Why are they all bitter, what trouble are you encountering?" Come on, come on, talk to me. ”

Those young officials, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak first, this is less to offend the city lord, more to offend the lord, they can't hide, where do they dare to take over?

At this time, an old official spoke slowly.

"Qiqi City Lord, this trouble is not a problem, I have done most of my life, and I am very familiar with it, so there will be no mistakes or omissions."

"Haha, that's for the best!"

As soon as he heard this, the officials below were even more confused, this city lord was not crazy, as long as the discerning people knew that this was the officials uniting to isolate him, how could he still be happy?

"I have come here today to announce one thing, since the chief officials of all the public houses in my Lion City are all sick, I suspect that this is a precursor to the epidemic, so I am going to arrange for medical workers to go to diagnose and treat them, and at the same time, for the sake of the people of the city, I will send someone to lock down their mansions and prohibit them from going out! But the chief official is sick, this work still has to be done, from today on, you follow the step-by-step, what should you do, all the documents that need to be sealed will be sent to my city lord's mansion, and handed over to a master named Bai Ning, and after I use the seal, it will be carried out according to the routine, if something goes wrong - hehe, I will bear it! ”

The old official's eyes flickered, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Ying Xiaosi, this chief official has the responsibility to push outward, it can be said that he is afraid to avoid it, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to take it to himself. But in this case, I'm afraid that those who are anxious are the chief officials who can't say they are sick.

As he was talking, he saw three people wearing the uniforms of the Vermilion Bird Guards walk in outside, but after a closer look, they were Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, and the last person was also an acquaintance.

"Luo Cheng! When did you come! Tsk, how did you become a Suzaku Guard! ”

When Ying Xiaosi saw Luo Cheng, he couldn't help but be affectionate, these two people can be regarded as a friendship, he came over at this time, it can be said that it is a big help for Ying Xiaosi.

Luo Cheng smiled at Ying Xiaosi, first beat his chest with his fist, and then said: "If you want to say that I still have your blessing, it was the military order under the command of Ji Da that transferred me to General Ji Xiu, and later when General Ji Xiu left, he left the five hundred Vermilion Bird Army as the Vermilion Bird Guard of the Lion City, so he left me behind as the commander of the five hundred guards." ”

"Haha, in this way, you have been promoted! Otherwise, Ji Chong's old boy is doing things properly, with you here, my confidence will be even stronger! ”

The four big ones grinned, not avoiding the meaning of these officials at all, at this time, the administrative system had just been smoothed out, and in order to make the system of the Lion City run normally, it was necessary to show their strength to these people who actually worked, so that the eyeliner left by those chief officials could go back and report the news.

"Meng Liang and Jiao Zan have already recorded in the Vermilion Bird Guard, let them be the deputy generals first, by the way, I heard Jiao Zan say that you are going to use the Guards these days, which one is not open-eyed?"

Luo Chengchu was in charge of the guards, and it was when his hands were itchy, and at this time, he wished that there were a few eyes to loosen his bones.

The eyes of the officials around them were rolling, although they still looked respectful, but the ears that were pricked up exposed their hearts, and they also wanted to know what the new city lord was going to do by using the army so quickly!

"Haha! I knew you couldn't stop, so ah, I had already arranged it for you, early tomorrow morning, you asked Jiao Zan to take a hundred guards to surround the homes of those chief officials, and I was not allowed to enter or leave, and whoever said too much would tell that the family was infected with the epidemic and needed to be quarantined, and if you have any opinions, come to the city lord's mansion and say it! The remaining four hundred people, you and Meng Liang take them to the nullah outside the city to wait for me, I will be of great use!" ”
