Tong Weihua sorted out the documents on the desk, and his mind was blank. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After asking to see Wu Shaogang, Tong Weihua's mood has always been relaxed, he thinks that the matter of cleaning up the officials and public servants of the Luzhou Mansion has nothing to do with him, and reporting such important news has already shown his loyalty, and he will definitely be favored by the prefect, and maybe he will be promoted to a certain extent.

But the moment the results of the cleanup came out, Tong Weihua was cold, and his name was on the list of cleanups.

Tong Weihua is already an old member of the Luzhou Mansion, he has always been doing things in the Mansion, this is his job, relying on this matter he can support his family, and he can also make his family have some face in the local area, although the official's salary is not too high, but some other invisible income, also allows him and his family to live a decent life.

The moment the list was announced, Tong Weihua thought that he had made a mistake and couldn't help but go to the front.

The colleagues around him sympathized with him, and everyone expected that Tong Weihua should have been cleaned up, after all, Tong Weihua had too many stains on his body, the cronies of the former prefect Liu Quan, and when Liu Cheng defected to the Mongolian Tartars, he followed him, just by virtue of this, Tong Weihua could not stay in the government to continue to do things.

In this clean-up, the vast majority of the officials and public servants were convinced, and the officials and public servants who were cleaned out were all stained on their bodies, either they used their power to fish the common people on weekdays, or they were like Tong Weihua, who had a tendency to turn to the Mongolian Tartars with all their hearts.

This reminds everyone that they must be careful in doing things in the future, and don't think that they don't know.

After cleaning up the paperwork and picking up the envelope on the table, Tong Weihua stood up and staggered outside.

He didn't pay attention to anyone's eyes, and no one would greet him at this moment, from this moment on, Tong Weihua no longer belonged to the government, he lost the position he relied on to survive, and he didn't know what his future would be.

Tong Weihua was a little puzzled, he knew that there were too many stains on his body, and they were too obvious, so he took measures to save himself before the matter of cleaning up the officials and the public began, but such efforts did not seem to have much effect.

Grievances and sadness can only be held in the heart, Tong Weihua doesn't dare to say the most secret thing, doing so is an act of looking for death, I'm afraid it's not just a problem of not being able to keep a job, but also losing his life if he doesn't make it good.

In the early summer season, it was warm and cold, but Tong Weihua didn't feel anything.

Walking on the street, his expression was dazed, it was definitely inappropriate to go home at this moment, but there was no other place to go.

Walking to the front of a wine shop, Tong Weihua walked in with mechanical steps, and at this moment, I am afraid that drinking is the best relief.

The shopkeeper of the wine store knew Tong Weihua, and at the same time as the guy greeted him, he walked out of the counter and greeted him in person.

"What does the official want to eat, there is good wine in the small shop, this is a small one specially prepared for the official master...

The shopkeeper's words made Tong Weihua's body tremble, now he is no longer an official, he is no longer a member of the Luzhou Mansion, he is just an ordinary person, and he is a clerk who has been cleaned out by the government, and he is not as good as ordinary people in terms of identity, I am afraid that he will suffer too much ridicule.

Tong Weihua smiled bitterly at the shopkeeper and touched the envelope on his chest, this is the severance pay issued by the government, and it is also a special arrangement made by the prefect, although the number is not very large, but it is enough to maintain life for two or three months.

Tong Weihua didn't answer, and walked straight towards the innermost table.

After sitting down, Tong Weihua closed his eyes and still didn't speak.

The shopkeeper found that Tong Weihua's expression was wrong, and he no longer spoke, but nodded to the guy.

Soon, a plate of beef, a plate of boiled peanuts, a slice of dough and two side dishes were served, plus a pot of wine.

It was still early, and in the lobby on the first floor, the guest was Tong Weihua.

The shopkeeper returned to the counter, and the servant stood outside to greet the guests.

Tong Weihua opened his eyes, picked up the wine jug, and pointed the mouth of the jug to his mouth, it was a binge drink, he didn't look at the dishes on the table, at this time the wine jug and wine were his best friends.

Tong Weihua really wants to get drunk, after getting drunk, he doesn't have to think about anything, and the pain doesn't exist, as for what happens after sobering up, that's another matter.

But after drinking a pot of wine, Tong Weihua's mind was abnormally sober, and there was no sign of drunkenness at all.

Many things from the past have surfaced one by one, and the feeling of being dazed and helpless has become more urgent.

Tong Weihua looked up at the lobby, except for the shopkeeper in the counter, there was no one else.

"Shopkeeper, come and drink with me...

"Official, the little one still has to greet guests...

"What are you talking about, telling you to drink with you, where did you get so much nonsense...

The shopkeeper is helpless, he can't afford to offend the people in the mansion.

The man brought two jugs of wine again.

Tong Weihua looked at the shopkeeper with a blank smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, is there something wrong with your wine, I've already drunk a pot, but there is no reaction...

"Don't say that, the official must not say this, this is all a huge amount of the official, the little one remembers that the official came to drink the last time, he drank three pots of wine in one go, and he was still able to return to the yamen to do things. . . ."

Tong Weihua shook his head, he forgot that he was very good at drinking, and he was once called the god of wine by his colleagues in the yamen.

When the second pot of wine was drunk, Tong Weihua felt bitter in his heart, and even the wine became bitter and difficult to swallow.

Tong Weihua looked at the shopkeeper's smiling expression, and instinctively wanted to lose his temper, but reason made him hold back, you must know that at this moment, he Tong Weihua is an ordinary person, without that layer of public clothing, there will be no power.

After drinking two pots of wine, Tong Weihua felt a slight dizziness, which did not exist in the past.

"Official, you can't drink anymore...

The shopkeeper found that Tong Weihua's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but speak.

Tong Weihua looked at the shopkeeper and smiled reluctantly.

"I can't drink it, I can't drink it, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to drink in the future.

"Official, no need, this wine money, even if it's a small one, invite the official...

From entering the wine store to now, Tong Weihua has drunk two pots of wine, and the dishes on the table have not moved at all.

Tong Weihua's hand had already reached out to his chest, ready to take out the envelope to settle the bill, but the shopkeeper's words made his hand come back again, this is probably the last time he will eat white food, and he will not have a chance in the future.

"Then thank you, shopkeeper, I'm leaving...

Tong Weihua struggled to maintain his figure, walked out of the liquor store, and slowly disappeared into the street.

After the shopkeeper watched Tong Weihua's figure disappear, he spat fiercely on the ground.

The little guy was standing next to the shopkeeper, the look on his face was not too good, seeing the performance of the shopkeeper, the little guy was going to speak, but was stopped by the shopkeeper's eyes, the wall has ears, can you not complain at this time, if it is heard by other officials, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Tong Weihua can't see all this, and it is impossible to care about all this.

His home is in the north of Fucheng, his parents have long since died, and his wife and children are three in the family, and his son is studying in the school of the ancestral hall, and he will take the county exam next year.

When he walked towards home unconsciously, Tong Weihua's eyes flowed out, he lost his position as a government official, and it was not only himself who was implicated, but more importantly, his son who was studying in the school.

The current solution is to leave the city and return to his hometown in the countryside to farm, so that he may still be able to make a living.

When he was not far from home, Tong Weihua changed his mind, and he didn't plan to go home immediately.

My hometown is on the outskirts of the city, about ten miles away from Fucheng, and my parents' tombs are also there.

Tong Weihua turned around and walked towards the gate of Fucheng.

After walking briskly for nearly an hour, Tong Weihua finally came to the front of his parents' tomb.

Grass has grown on the tomb.

Tong Weihua knelt down in front of the tomb and began to cry bitterly.

It was quiet, there were hardly any people, and the occasional farmer passing by would not pay attention to a man crying in front of a tomb.

I don't know how long I cried, Tong Weihua felt tired.

Lying in front of the tomb, he fell asleep in a daze.

The matter of cleaning up the officials and public officials has always been the most concerned matter of the government officials.

After the list of clean-ups was announced, the officials and public servants who stayed behind felt lucky, and those officials and public servants who were cleaned out were like mourners, they all knew why they were cleaned up, and no one dared to lose their temper at this time, they all silently cleaned up the paperwork according to the requirements, and then silently left the government.

According to their identities, once they are not the public officials of the government, I am afraid that they should be extra careful, because the things they do on weekdays offend too many people, and it is expected that they will suffer retaliation.

There are also a few public servants who can't change their arrogant temper, muttering in their mouths, and leaving the government with anger.

Rumors also began to spread in the city of Luzhou Prefecture, and the newly appointed prefect cleaned up the officials and public servants in a big way, and many people began to inquire.

After noon, the news reached the wine shop, and the shopkeeper of the wine shop learned from the guests about the affairs of the government officials and the public officials, and after careful inquiry, he learned that Tong Weihua had been cleaned out by the government office.

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but curse, it turned out that Tong Weihua, who came to drink in the morning, was no longer the official of the government. (To be continued.) )
