Chapter 12 The first visit to Longxi County

It's domineering!

A wide open, antique, solemn gate stands not far away.

On the left and right sides of the steps at the entrance are two one-person-high carved stone lions, staring at the yamen with wide gong eyes, which makes people dare not give birth to half a bit of sneaky blasphemy.

Hanging above the door plaque "Longxi County Ya" four big characters, the font is not going to go dragon snake, showing the way of the yamen.

The red lacquer gate is wide open left and right, and you can see the front yard of the yamen at the door, and after passing the patio and then going straight into the yamen public hall for torture and interrogation.

Guo Ye couldn't help but sigh, is this the yamen under the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty?

In comparison, the so-called government buildings of his later generations seem vulgar and rustic.

Look at how high the government buildings of later generations were built and how extravagant and luxuriously decorated, but at first glance, they are tacky and full of anger.

But looking at the Yamen of Longxi County, Guo Ye couldn't give birth to half a point of belly depreciation, and he felt a little more awe in his heart.

Zhu Pengchun saw Guo Ye in a daze, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Guo, Brother Guo, what are you doing?" ”

suddenly

A white shadow suddenly rushed out of the yamen.

Woooooooo

Bai Ying walked out of the gate and went down the steps, towards Guo Ye and Zhu Pengchun.

Seeing this, Zhu Pengchun immediately pulled Guo Ye, who was in a daze, aside, and even lowered his head and bowed slightly to Bai Ying.

Although the white shadow almost knocked the two to the ground, it did not stop to apologize, on the contrary, it snorted coldly and walked away.

When Guo Ye came to his senses, he went to look for the white shadow again, the person had already gone away, and it could be vaguely seen that the white shadow was a thin man in a white robe.

Guo Ye asked Zhu Pengchun beside him inexplicably: "Who is this bastard?" I almost knocked you down, and I kept walking and apologizing, it's so arrogant. ”

"Shh......h

Zhu Pengchun immediately raised his index finger and made a silent gesture, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, the one just now is Master Gong Zuoma of our Yamen Liucao, and he is a Jiupin official, and he is on an equal footing with our county Lord Weigu." If you let Master Ma Gong Cao Ma hear your words, you won't have any good fruit to eat, Brother Guo. ”

Often, the six Cao Zuoguan will also be given a surname and a Cao name, such as Gong Cao Cao Zuoma, and most people will also call it Ma Gong Cao.

Guo Ye was stunned, it was really a small demon in the temple, and there were many shallow kings.

As soon as I came to the county government to report, I was able to bump into a nine-grade Lord Cao Zuo.

Jiupin's Gong Cao is not a genuine seal official, at best he is a knife and pen official.

But Guo Ye knew that in this way, the little official of Jiupin, let alone him, was a little servant, and even his big boss, Lord Gu, would not be easily provoked.

Why?

Just because although Gu Dezhao also belongs to the ninth grade, he is a martial artist, and this Master Ma is a junior official of the ninth grade, but he is a civilian.

In all dynasties, especially in the prosperous years, the military position was seen as civilian, and it was three points shorter.

This is an unspoken rule.

But this Ma Gongcao hurriedly ran out of the county office, without even looking at the road, could it be that something big happened?

Seeing that Guo Ye had questions, Zhu Pengchun whispered in his ear: "Eighty percent of Lord Ma has quarreled with other adjutants of Cao, and he is extremely unhappy and angry, so go home." ”

After speaking, he looked at Guo Ye with a look of surprise.

Your sister, just because of this? You can get off work early if you quarrel, and this Datang official still has this benefit?

Guo Ye couldn't help but smile dumbly in his heart.

Just when the two of them were about to go up the steps and enter the yamen, they abruptly-

Another middle-aged man came out.

This time, Guo Ye was very sure that the other party was not a Jiupin official. Because he found that the other party was also wearing a square head tolerance suit, but with an extra saber at his waist.

Could it be that Zhu Pengchun said that he was catching people in the house?

It's a pity that as soon as Zhu Pengchun next to him spoke, Guo Ye knew that his analysis was wrong.

I only heard Zhu Pengchun say: "Ah, Brother Guo, this is the Pang Bantou of our soap room, come, come, I will introduce you to you." ”

Squad leader?

Guo Ye took a closer look at the middle-aged man at the door, it turned out to be the head of the soap li, with a beard on his face and beard, thick eyebrows and eyes like ink, looking like a pure person.

Through Zhu Pengchun's introduction before, he now knows that the three classes of officials have their own heads, collectively referred to as team heads, and the team leaders of the capture class are also called head catchers.

The three shifts are under the charge of the heads of each shift, and the heads of the three shifts are directly responsible to the county lieutenant Gu Dezhao.

Maybe the title of the head of the squad is a bit of a looper, but those who have seen the Water Margin know that the head of the squad was also called Dutou in the Song Dynasty.

After Wu Song killed the tiger in Jingyanggang, he was hired by Yanggu County as the head of Yanggu County.

Zhu Pengchun pulled Guo Ye's arm, and enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce, but was politely rejected by Xu Bantou waving his hand, and said with a smile: "Haha, there is no need to introduce, Lord Gu has explained before, if Guo Ye from Dongliu Township comes to the yamen to report, he will be directly transferred to the soap room as a servant." I am Pang Feihu, the head of the soap class, are you Guo Ye from Dongliu Township? ”

Seeing Pang Bantou asking himself with a smile on his face, Guo Ye couldn't help but relax in his heart, and he seemed to be a good person to get along with.

Then he hugged his fists and said: "The junior is Guo Ye of Dongliu Township, and he has seen Pang Bantou. ”

And Zhu Pengchun, who was thinking about it lively, was carefully recalling Pang Bantou's words just now, and as expected, this Guo Ye had a great relationship with Lord Gu, and he personally asked Pang Bantou to arrange this matter. It seems that my old Zhu has lived for more than 30 years, and finally hugged his thigh.

Pang Feihu looked at Guo Ye's figure and nodded, praised and said, "Yes, he is a person who does things, come, follow me into the yamen." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to enter the yamen, but he didn't take two steps, and then turned to Zhu Pengchun on the side and ordered: "Zhu Pengchun, you did a good job today, and it is not yet the time to close the city gate, you should go back to guard first." ”

Zhu Pengchun listened to Pang Feihu's instructions and nodded, and smiled at Guo Ye and prepared to leave.

"Brother Zhu, wait a minute, junior brother still has questions I want to ask."

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and called Zhu Pengchun.

Zhu Pengchun turned around and looked back, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo is too polite, I can't talk about asking for advice, if you have something to say, just ask, my old Zhu knows everything, and he has no end to it." ”

Wipe, Guo Ye couldn't help but be secretly happy, and he knew that everything was endless, and he was crepe, in the end, he had stayed in the yamen for a long time, and he could also show off a few words.

Immediately, Guo Ye said that he was almost knocked over by the carriage at the yamen just now, while Zhu Pengchun and Gan Zhushou ignored it, did not stop it, and did not mind the arrogance of the owner of the carriage at all.

In the end, Guo Ye asked: "Why did Brother Zhu and Brother Gan Zhushou look at the younger brother with strange eyes before, did the younger brother say the wrong thing at that time?" If you verbally collide with the two big brothers, please forgive me. ”

Listening to Guo Yewei's narration of the matter and the question, Pang Feihu's face has become ugly, who likes his subordinates to be passive and slack off, your sister.

And Zhu Pengchun also had a bitter face, and shouted sadly in his heart, Brother Guo, don't take you to be such a trick, don't you say this in front of the team to pit Lao Zhu and me?

But this incident is not because they are passive and slacking off, but indeed for a reason.

Zhu Pengchun quickly trotted to Pan Feihu's side and whispered a few words, carefully explaining to him.

Pang Feihu nodded while listening, his ugly and almost angry face just now gradually eased slightly, and finally waved his hand at Zhu Pengchun, and said: "Go ahead, do a good job, don't let the head of the team be embarrassed, when the silver money is issued at the end of the month, the head of the team will ask the county lieutenant for a reward and give the brothers more money." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Pengchun immediately nodded excitedly like a chicken pecking rice, and then waved at Guo Ye and shouted: "Brother Guo, I'll go first, Pang Bantou will explain it to you." ”

After saying that, the person had already run away.

Pang Feihu saw Zhu Pengchun running away, and said to Guo Ye: "Let's go, Brother Guo, you are new to the office, the head of this class will take you to the officer's room to fill out a form first, and I will explain to you on the way." ”

Guo Ye said hello and followed Pang Feihu into the yamen.

After entering the yamen, Pang Feihu did not go straight towards the courtyard, but bypassed the courtyard and the public hall, and walked towards a tree-lined path on the left, because the six rooms of the county government were all located in the side courtyard.

The front courtyard is the interrogation of torture, the back courtyard is the residence of the county magistrate and his family, the left side of the courtyard is the office of the Yamen Liufang Dianshi and the county governor Gu Dezhao, and the right side of the court is the place where the officials change shifts and rest.

Of course, as for the county government jail, the storehouse, the granary, and the morgue autopsy room are all in the repaired houses on the left and right sides of the county government, all of which are guarded by the fifty-person strong squad of the county lieutenant Gu Dezhao, and the martial law is as tight as an iron bucket.

Walking on the tree-lined path, Pang Feihu said to Guo Ye: "Brother Guo, it may be your first time as a servant, and there may be some things that are not clear. Don't look at us, the servants who take the salaries and silver from the yamen, wear official clothes and wear Tang knives on their waists, walking on the street is very majestic, in fact, only they know their suffering. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Guo Ye didn't know why, he was so dignified, Pang Bantou told him what he was doing here.

Just when he was puzzled, Pang Bantou asked, "Do you know whose carriage is outside the east gate today?" Who's in the car? ”

When Guo Ye first came to Longxi County, he even knew for the first time where the county yamen was opened, and where he would know whose carriage was and who was sitting there.

He shook his head and said he didn't know.

Pang Bantou stroked the beard on his cheeks, clutched the handle of the saber at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Zhu Pengchun and Gan Zhushou let that carriage rush through the east gate is because the owner of that carriage ,... Surname... What!!! ”

What's the last name?

Guo Ye was even more puzzled in his heart.

What's the last name? Is he the king of heaven?

No, Pang Bantou's face when he spoke was a little wrong, could it be that there is a story here?
