Chapter 14 Cheng Erniu, a fellow official officer
Under the repeated inquiries and inquiries of Pang Feihu and Cheng Erniu, Guo Ye told the truth about how he deceived and defrauded Liu Armang's family in Dongliu Township.
said it vividly, and listened to the ups and downs of Pang Feihu and Cheng Erniu's faces, which was really exciting.
In the end, Cheng Erniu gave a thumbs up to Guo Ye and said: "Brother Guo, you can blow away the son of Li Zheng in just a few words, it's really amazing, I Cheng Erniu is convinced." ”
Compared with Cheng Erniu's optimism, Pang Feihu couldn't help frowning and said the last thing Guo Ye wanted to hear.
I only heard Pang Feihu sigh worriedly: "Brother Guo, it seems that you are really in trouble this time." Qin Wei married a wife a year ago, and it is said that the woman's surname is Liu, and it seems that she is your Dongliu Township clan. ”
Pang Feihu's meaning was already very straightforward, and Guo Ye couldn't help but feel numb when he heard it.
Damn, it turns out that Qin Wei is not as simple as the backer of the Liu family, but is the fast son-in-law of the Liu family.
Rub, this beam is knotted.
It's really a report and a report, he played Liu Armang before, and now he is targeted by his brother-in-law Qin Wei.
People are catching squads and catching heads, and he is just a small servant of the soap class, how can he do it better than others?
Seeing Guo Ye's gloomy face and frowning, Pang Feihu couldn't help but feel relieved: "Guo Ye, although Qin Wei is narrow-minded and will repay his teeth, you are already a colleague of the county government, and there is a letter written by the county lieutenant, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”
Hearing the county lieutenant, Guo Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he and the county lieutenant Gu Dezhao couldn't fight together at all, it was nothing more than his father-in-law Wu Maocai who sent some silver and walked away to get a preparation for him at the back door.
What's more, Qin Wei is the head catcher under Gu Dezhao, how could he make it difficult for Qin Wei to be the head catcher for a small servant.
Pang Feihu saw that Guo Ye was still hesitating, and continued: "Besides, you are a member of my soap class, and Pang Mou, as the leader of the team, how can you let Qin Wei, a person in the class, bully you?" Don't worry, if Qin Wei dares to make trouble, Pang will definitely not stand idly by. ”
Cheng Erniu next to him was also eager to help the fist and said: "What the head of the team said is that he catches the class as an egg, he Qin Wei dares to embarrass Brother Guo, that is, to embarrass our brothers in the soap class, see that Cheng Erniu's iron fist hammer will not kill him." ”
After the two finished talking, Guo Ye's heart suddenly felt a hot current, and the slightest warmth entered his heart.
Looking at the honest eyes of Pang Feihu and Cheng Erniu, he couldn't help but gratefully hug his fists again and said, "Thank you Pang Bantou, thank you Brother Erniu." ”
At the same time, I am also very encouraged in my heart, yes, why should I Guo Ye be arrogant, can a person in later generations still be eaten by you Qin Wei and a ** head? It's a big deal, when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it.
Hmph, Qin Wei, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.
After Pang Feihu said a few words of encouragement to Guo Ye again, he instructed Guo Ye to come to work tomorrow morning, and as for what position, he would make arrangements tomorrow.
After explaining Guo Ye, Pang Feihu left first.
After Pang Feihu left, Guo Ye saw that he and Cheng Erniu were the two men in the big room, and they had nothing to hide, so they changed into the brand-new official uniforms of the officials in the room, put on the square head, and pinned a small iron ruler to their waists.
After changing his clothes, he turned around twice and asked Cheng Erniu, "Erniu, what do you think?" ”
After Cheng Erniu looked at it, he smashed his mouth and said, "It just fits, spirit." ”
Guo Ye laughed, posed stinkily, and then hugged the old clothes he had changed into his arms.
At the moment when he held the old clothes in his arms, Guo Ye suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a very important thing, that is, his residence in Longxi County had not yet been settled.
You must know that the county government is in charge of the monthly silver, but it never provides accommodation.
Damn, Guo Ye patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being so confused, could it be that he was going to sleep in an inn tonight?
Cheng Erniu didn't know how Guo Ye was like this, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Guo Ye immediately said that he was so Ma Daha, who knew that Cheng Erniu didn't laugh when he heard it, but patted his chest and said: "I still think it's a big deal, isn't it just a matter of residence?" Give it to me Erniu. ”
immediately threw the old clothes in Guo Ye's hand on the table, and then hurriedly pulled him out of the big room and ran straight towards the gate of the county government.
Guo Ye was dragged by Cheng Erniu to run, and it didn't take long for him to get out of the county office, and when he got out of the gate, Guo Ye hurriedly asked: "Erniu, where are you dragging me to find a place to live?" ”
Cheng Erniu slowed down and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, count yourself lucky." There is a house with a small courtyard to rent in our alley, the house is not big, only three rooms, a small courtyard, but it is more than enough for you to live alone. Let's go, I'll take you. ”
Guo Ye trotted along, rejoicing in his luck.
Fortunately, he was transferred to the soap class and stayed away from the fishing class, fortunately I met a kind boss like Pang Feihu, the head of the team, and I was fortunate to know interesting colleagues like Cheng Erniu and Zhu Pengchun.
Thinking of these, and thinking about Qin Wei's threatening words when he left, it really didn't matter.
I couldn't help but shout with pride in my heart, cut, isn't it just a small obstacle? Sort of a fart! I, Guo Ye, am a person who wants to do great things
On the way, Guo Ye also probed Cheng Erniu, a man.
Cheng Erniu is a native of Longxi County, his home is in an alley on Zhuhu Street, Nancheng District, Longxi County, his father was also born in a government, and later died of illness, leaving Cheng Erniu and his mother. Later, Pang Feihu also thought about having a game with Cheng's father's colleagues to lobby the county governor Gu Dezhao, and finally let Cheng Erniuzi inherit his father's business and replace his late father into the yamen to eat together.
Cheng Erniu was twenty years old, did not get married, and had only one old mother at home.
Guo Ye listened to Cheng Erniu introduce himself without a trace of distraction, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, since his name is Cheng Erniu, there should be an elder brother named Cheng Daniu.
Why haven't you heard Erniu mention that he has a brother?
It's weird.
However, Guo Ye didn't ask abruptly, in case his brother died early when he was a child, he stepped forward and asked, isn't that **?
Perhaps, Cheng Erniu also has his own unspeakable secrets.
The county government is in Dongcheng District, and the place where Cheng Erniu lives is an alley on Zhuhu Street in Nancheng District, which needs to pass through Chengdong Street and Chengnan Street, and then turn into several small streets to get there.
Walking down a few streets, Guo Yechu, who was wearing a government official uniform and a square hat, had a familiar face, and also had a general understanding of the area from Dongcheng to Nancheng.
There are many street shops, teahouses, wine shops, grain stores, brothels, and vegetable markets, which are scattered on the streets from Dongcheng District to Nancheng District.
About half an hour later, Cheng Erniu led Guo Ye to Yauma Hutong on Zhuhu Street.
Cheng Erniu lives at the mouth of the alley of Yauma Hutong, and the three-room independent courtyard he said is at the innermost part of the alley.
It was also a coincidence, when Cheng Erniu knocked on the door of the small courtyard, the owner of the small courtyard happened to come over to inspect the house and take a look at Guo Ye and the others.
The owner of the house is a middle-aged man with some philistines between the eyebrows, through Cheng Erniu's introduction, Guo Ye learned that the original man's name was Wang Zhi, and he opened an oil shop at the mouth of Yauma Hutong, this small courtyard is his ancestral business, and the family now lives on the upper floor of the store, so this small courtyard is vacant.
When Wang Zhi heard that Guo Ye was going to rent his small courtyard, it was too late to be happy. In these years, who doesn't want to have a relationship with the people in the government, even if he is a newcomer like Guo Ye, it is worth forming a good fate with him.
Shinong industry and commerce, the last in the business row, or such an oil shop shopkeeper with no family background, how could Wang Zhi give up such a great opportunity.
is willing to make friends, one is willing to rent, the two hit it off, and the matter of renting a small courtyard was decided in three or two clicks.
In the end, Wang Zhi directly discounted the rent, and the monthly rent only needed half a tael of silver, which was really cheap to scum.
Guo Ye knew what Wang Zhi was thinking in his heart, and he didn't dig into it, anyway, he was not rich in the money in his pocket, so he could be regarded as inheriting Wang Zhi's favor, and the friendship would be made up later.
So he took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve, about five taels, and turned out two pieces of broken silver from his waist, about one or two weights, and paid the rent directly for a year.
Wang Zhi saw the 8 silver of Bai Huahua, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, hehe, he finally climbed the right person, how could an ordinary official be able to turn out a few taels of silver at will? It's not easy!
Cheng Erniu on the side saw that Guo Ye was so generous, and he could find a few taels of silver between his hands, and his eyes were full of envy.
For a moonlight clan like him, who only receives more than one tael of silver in drought and flood a month, when has he ever seen five taels of silver?
Cheng Erniu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is also a servant, why is the gap between people so big?
Guo Ye had no time to guess the thoughts of Cheng Erniu and Wang Zhi, and after saying goodbye to the two, he went straight into the small courtyard with the key given by Wang Zhi.
This is a small courtyard with a loess wall to build a wall, a single house, a rocking chair and a stone table are placed in the small courtyard, although it is not big enough but it is better to be quiet, there is a big locust tree planted in the courtyard, it is estimated that it is more than 200 years old.
There are three rooms around the courtyard, looking at the size can be determined, one is the master room, the other is the small hall for entertaining guests, and there is one adjacent to the master room, which is estimated to be a wing room for relatives and friends to stay.
There is also a thatched hut in the upper right corner of the courtyard, in which there is a large stove, and the table is full of bottles and cans, which is probably the kitchen.
Guo Ye swayed around in the small courtyard, and said in his heart, what a good place, I didn't expect that there would be such a quiet courtyard in a slum like Yauma Hutong.
Guo Ye slowly walked to the edge of the rocking chair and sat down, squeaky and swaying, closed his eyes and praised: "The winding path leads to a secluded place, it looks like a fairy dwelling!" ”
As the night slowly sank, Guo Ye left the courtyard and casually found a small food shop to make up for a few bites, and bought a bed quilt in a nearby market shop, and then quickly returned to his new residence while the sky was still shining.
One is because today's tossing is too tiring and a little sleepy, and the other is because I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the yamen to perform my duties, and being late for the first time is a taboo in the workplace.
Therefore, after returning to the small courtyard, Guo Ye made the bed quilt as soon as possible, went to bed directly, and fell asleep groggy
From the end of the night to the early morning, the sky was gray, and before the rooster began to crow, Guo Ye woke up early because of the excitement of his first day as a servant.
I was about to get up and wash up, when suddenly-
"Tuk-tuk... Tuk Tuk ......"
A sharp knock sounded at the door just in time.
Guo Ye hurriedly put on his coat and got up quickly, ran out of the door while putting on his shoes and shouted, "Who? ”
As soon as he finished shouting, he heard Cheng Erniu beckoning outside: "Brother Guo, are you up?" Let's go, while there's no one in the morning, I'll take you to a good place. ”
Guo Ye muttered, early in the morning, I have to take advantage of the fact that there are no talents to go, what good place can there be.
But he still walked straight to the courtyard gate and went to open the door for Cheng Erniu.
