"Servant!"

"The old man has found an errand for you in Longxi County!"

Walking on the way back to the backyard wing, Wu Maocai's words kept hovering in Guo Ye's mind.

He didn't know his expression in the hall at that time, and he didn't know how he said goodbye to his father-in-law Wu Mao before he walked out of the hall, he only remembered that he was apprehensive when he heard the word "Ya Gong", and he was even more excited, and finally Mu Ran nodded and agreed that Wu Mao would return to the wing room in the backyard.

On the way through the hall and around the corridor, the servants and maids of the Wu family who were running back and forth greeted Guo Ye, the uncle, one after another, but this kid's face was still in a daze, and he didn't notice it, and he only muttered the word "servant" in his mouth.

What is the profession of a servant?

In Guo Ye's mental memory, whether it is the novels or film and television works involved in later generations, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are wearing square heads, wearing soapy green round-necked narrow-sleeved robes, leather belts around the waist, and iron rulers and steel knives in their hands.

Then on the street, he was arrogant and majestic, and shouted at every turn: "Handle cases with tolerance, and avoid all idle people!" ”

Rub, it's really enjoyable to think about.

Tsk, the government servant, the one who is the police of the later generations, is too powerful.

I think that after graduating from the Chinese Department of university, I also applied for the civil service examination, which is nothing more than wanting to fulfill my childhood dream and become a police uncle who punishes rape and eliminates evil.

Although he was later admitted to the civil service, he was not admitted to the public security system because of some relationships, and finally entered a small unit in Qingshui.

However, the police dream has never been erased, and every day I either read mystery novels or watch police and bandit TV series.

Now that he has traveled through the Tang Dynasty and has the opportunity to show his ambitions and realize the dream he has always wanted to realize, can Guo Ye still live calmly?

It's really good.

Along the way, and even back in the wing, Guo Ye has always been excited, and he is even humming in the room and waving some of the fighting fights he learned in his previous life.

At this moment, where would he care about Wu Maocai's intentions, and he actually spent money to find such an errand for him in the yamen.

As for a person like Wu Maocai, of course, he would not do that loss-making business.

But this time it all happened by chance.

is the so-called flies don't bite seamless eggs, if it weren't for Guo Ye's too sharp performance in the Wu family, if it weren't for the Liu family's aggressiveness, Wu Mao felt that he also needed to climb the relationship in the county government.

With his temperament, where could he spend twenty or thirty taels of silver to get the relationship with Gu Zhaode, the county lieutenant of Longxi County, and find such an errand for Guo Ye?

Who is the county lieutenant?

It was a court official with a grade, although he was only a county lieutenant of the ninth grade, but for the squires and ordinary people such as Wu Maocai and Liu Laolai, it was already a high-mountain existence.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the three classes of officials and nearly 100 people in the county office, and on the boundary of Longxi County, it is light to say that it is not an exaggeration to call for wind and rain.

If you use Guo Ye's words, Gu Dezhao, the governor of Jiupin County, is the first brother who controls the entire political and legal affairs and public security system of Longxi County, and in later generations, the secretary of the county political and legal committee and the director of the public security bureau will not have to run.

Regardless of whether Guo Ye is detached or Wu Maocai's small calculations, anyway, the matter has been decided, and Guo Ye will go to Longxi County to report in the next few days

Two days later, Guo Ye packed up, carrying the letter written by Gu Dezhao, the county lieutenant prepared for him by his father-in-law Wu Maocai, and the ten taels of silver that Guo Laohan asked Guo Xiaoman to send that day, and rode the mount that the Wu family equipped for him - the little donkey - in a comfortable mood.

Then he rode out of Wu's house on a donkey humming a little song, preparing to go to Longxi County to report and perform his duties.

A bright future awaits him, and the majestic official errand is waiting for him Guo Ye's arrival.

Not long after leaving the Wu family, about a mile away, Guo Ye heard a crisp voice beckoning him from behind. , the voice is getting closer and closer towards him.

Looking back, it was Wu Xiuxiu's maid Chunxiang.

Get~~

Guo Ye drank the donkey that was hurrying under his buttocks, looked back at Chunxiang, waited for her to run to him, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The spring fragrance was panting and sweating, and she couldn't wipe her breath and said: "Uncle, my young lady knows that the master has found you an errand, she said it, let you fight for breath in the city, don't fall into the reputation of the Wu family." ”

Cut, Wu Xiuxiu is still in this tone, Guo Ye secretly pouted, the Wu family is a big family in Dongliu Township, but what is it in Longxi County? At most one squire landlord.

Don't fall into the reputation of the Wu family, it's nothing more than that you are afraid that you will be embarrassed in Longxi City, hum, the little brother went this time to fish into the abyss and the dragon to the sea.

But today's mood is amazing, Guo Ye is too lazy to choke with Wu Xiuxiu, nodded and hummed: "I know, tell your young lady, I, Guo Ye, am a person who does great things." ”

After speaking, he turned around and sat in the right position, and shouted~~

Preparing to drive a donkey to catch his feet, this Dongliu Township and Longxi City are dozens of miles away, and he doesn't want to linger until dark.

When it gets dark, the city gate will be closed, and there will be only barren mountains and mountains outside the city.

Seeing that her uncle was leaving, Chunxiang suddenly took out a small money bag from her sleeve and threw it into Guo Ye's arms, and said: "This is five taels of silver, my young lady said, you are not familiar with life in Longxi City, and you are a newcomer to the county government, you have to eat and live and deal with the feelings of your colleagues, and you can't be short of silver in your hands." This is from my young lady. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pulled his legs, and ran back to Wu's house without looking back.

Chunxiang's sudden move and the words brought for Wu Xiuxiu immediately caught Guo Ye off guard.

In a hurry, I didn't feel more warm in my heart. It seems that Wu Xiuxiu, the little girl, will also care about the little brother.

However, how can a seven-foot man use a woman's money? Guo Ye picked up the small money bag in his arms and just wanted to say that I have money myself, but unfortunately Chunxiang had already run away.

What was the concept of five taels of silver in the Tang Dynasty?

The annual salary of an ordinary official is almost between twelve and fifteen taels, and it is only three or five hundred yuan to invite three or five friends to a big meal in a restaurant, and you can't even use one or two taels of silver.

Guo Ye was holding a money bag in his hand, and there was a faint scent of orchids on the money bag embroidered with lotus flowers, which was the fragrance that Wu Xiuxiu often carried.

It seems that this little girl's skin has moved her own private money.

Guo Ye slowly put the money bag into his sleeve, put it together with the ten taels of silver earlier, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the Wu family, and said secretly in his heart, Wu Xiuxiu, you are waiting for the little brother to get ahead.

Then there was an inexplicable surge of pride in his heart, and he flicked his whip and shouted at the little donkey: "Got~~"

One person and one donkey, rushing towards the direction of Longxi City

The little donkey is good-tempered, perhaps it also knows that with Guo Ye, the new owner, it can eat and drink spicy food in the future, and it can hook up with a beautiful little female donkey in the city, so it has not made any mistakes along the way, and before it has been two hours, it has arrived on the official road outside the east gate of Longxi City.

Guo Ye was riding on a donkey, and the tall walls of Longxi City were already faintly visible.

Gotta ~~ all the way forward, only a few steps away from the east gate.

After a careful look, the people who entered the city in front of the city gate entered the east gate one after another.

However, the careful Guo Ye found that after each of them entered the east gate, they were repeating an action, that is-

Taxes.

Every time one enters the city, that person will take the initiative to throw two copper coins into the basket on the right side of the east gate.

Look at the left and right sides of the city gate, there is one person standing on each side, lazily leaning against the wall, yawning at the people entering the city, both of them are square heads, soapy green robes and shirts holding iron rulers, this dress is not a servant?

Or are the officials also in charge of guarding the gates of the city and collecting taxes from the city?

Guo Ye guessed in his heart, could it be that today's officials are not only policemen, but also urban management?

Thinking about it in my heart, guessing and guessing, Guo Ye still rode a little donkey forward, regardless of whether it was the police or the city management, they would all be colleagues in the future, so why should I go over to say hello?

The little donkey walked forward step by step, and was just about to reach the east gate, when suddenly-

Da-da-da-da

Titicaca

A noisy sound of horses stepping and the sound of wooden wheels grinding against the ground suddenly came from behind Guo Ye.

Immediately after, there was a shout: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." The kid riding the donkey in front of him, quickly dodge. ”

"Drive, drive~~"

The voice was menacing, the shouting was loud and domineering, Guo Ye didn't have time to react, the little donkey on the ass seemed to have predicted the danger, and suddenly screamed "hiccup" and then raised his hooves to the right side of the official road, and his butt rushed to the side of the road.

Bang!

The docile little donkey suddenly started to flip upside down, and Leng Buding overturned Guo Ye from his body, and Guo Ye directly fell into the mud.

He didn't care about the pain from falling all over his body, and he didn't care about whipping his timid and scared stinky donkey, and he got up to scold his father and mother at the initiator behind him just now.

But when he stood up, he saw that the murderer who had frightened his donkey just now was a carriage.

Unfortunately, before he could scold, the carriage had already rammed into the east gate and had already fled.

Guo Ye bared his teeth and endured the pain of his arm, looked at the carriage that went into the city hatefully, and said angrily: "Grass your grandma, this is a typical fucking hit-and-run, I damn it." ”

The murderer had already escaped, and Guo Ye, who couldn't catch the evidence at the scene, had no choice but to lead the damn little donkey to the east gate, and shouted at the two guards guarding the door: "Hey, what are you two thinking?" What kind of bastard carriage is this, who dares to go on a rampage in the downtown area, and dares to avoid going into the city to pay taxes. Don't be stunned, hurry up and chase it! ”

The two officials were inexplicably questioned by Guo Ye, and the second monk was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Guo Ye in amazement, and that kind of vision was the same as looking at a thousand-year-old wonder.

Guo Ye was furious at the strange eyes of the two officials, what's the matter? Could it be that Lao Tzu said something wrong?
