Chapter 55: The New Prefect of Yamen
"Our governor, I can't stand someone looking for him to do things!" The butler came over mysteriously, "If he gives you a reward in a while, you will ask for anything, not to mention any requirements other than money!" See what I mean! ”
The black dog nodded and waved his hand to reassure the housekeeper: "I don't want anything!" ”
Is it stupid to be a black dog? What a reward! She has another purpose, and now she wants a reward, isn't that to dissociate herself from the governor's family!
The housekeeper heard the black dog say this, and then looked at the indifferent appearance of the two, and felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and led the two to the previous room.
I saw the governor sitting on the edge of the bed, and the fish soup that had been drunk was placed on the chair next to him, and the governor's wife was sitting on the bed.
"The folk girl sees the adult!" The black dog saluted respectfully.
"Good!" Master Li didn't look as nervous as before, "My wife sweated a lot after drinking the soup, and her nose was much clearer!" Leave this medicinal diet and I'll give you the money in exchange!" ”
"Folk girls don't need silver taels!" The black dog said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Listen to me!" What I need is a favor! ”
The butler was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and his legs began to tremble. The Governor frowned, looking very dissatisfied, and the Lady glared at the black dog.
"I know that Lord Li, you enforce the law impartially and selflessly! I ask you to return this favor to the people, and please treat every grievance you encounter with the most public and honest attitude!" The black dog said righteously, she said this not only in the hope that Master Li could really do this, but also to lay a foundation for herself in the future.
Even if he is the governor of Jingchi City, it doesn't matter, anyway, most of the officials are connected.
"Good! I'm glad you can say that! The atmosphere was no longer tense, and Master Li laughed happily, "I came up step by step from the youngest servant, I have seen people's suffering, I will work hard!" ”
The black dog smiled and nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the good impression was left, but I don't know what the result would be if I really asked him for help one day in the future.
The black dog didn't ask for a penny, but just left the recipe for the medicinal diet, and then said a bunch of things to his wife that sounded like a heart-wrenching thing, and then said goodbye to Tang Luofan.
After returning to the restaurant, the black dog didn't want to delay for even a second, and went back to the room to sleep directly after bypassing the gossip on his face.
After sleeping for a day, the black dog fell asleep again when he woke up and saw that it was already night, and slept directly until the next morning. This time I slept enough, and the black dog was very energetic in getting up early.
As the so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the fact that the black dog caught up with the governor of Jingchi City made her happy for several days. Just as he was happy, Wan Liang sent someone to say that it was time to visit the prefect of the Yamen.
As soon as he finished dealing with the official, he was about to deal with another official, and the black dog shook his head and sighed.
This restaurant finally made some money, maybe it will have to be taken out to give some to the prefect. In the past almost a month, the black dog's restaurant has made a net profit of more than 200 taels of silver, and the black dog really didn't know that it didn't count the accounts, and it turned out that a restaurant could make so much money!
The two hundred taels of silver were divided into ten parts, and one was twenty taels of silver. Originally, the black dog still wanted to give it to Huang Yiyan, but from the map, he knew that Huang Yiyan actually asked Qin Hongxiang for two more coins of silver, so he saved this one, and the other six people, Qin Hongxiang took four shares, and the others were one for each person.
With the extra copy, Black Dog came up with a restaurant fund in case the restaurant needed anything.
The restaurant was renovated before, and Song Lao Wu was entrusted to do so many things, and the savings of the restaurant were not much. Even if you really want to go to the prefect, I'm afraid the black dog won't be able to come up with much money.
As a result, Wan Liang directly sent someone to send five hundred taels of silver, saying that the black dog must accept it, and when the rain three coins are overthrown, the profit will be more than these five hundred taels of silver.
The black dog didn't shirk this time, after all, he really didn't have any money.
At noon the next day, Wan Liang and Qian Wanlao took the black dog and came to the yamen, and entered through the back door to the back hall.
"Hahaha!" As soon as Qian Wanlao saw the man sitting on the chair in the center in front of him, he immediately laughed politely, "Brother Liang, no, I'm going to call Lord Liang now!" ”
"Huh! Brother Qian, what are these words! Governor Liang got up and replied with a smile, "This must be Master Wanliangwan!" ”
Wan Liang smiled and waved his hand, although the other party was the prefect, he did not lose in temperament and aura: "First time meeting, Lord Liang!" ”
"This is the shopkeeper of Pingfu Restaurant, the most popular restaurant recently!" Qian Wanlao introduced the black dog.
When the black dog heard her name called, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, after all, she had the lowest status present, and the etiquette must be sufficient.
"Good, good! Seated! Governor Liang smiled kindly at the few people present, and then turned around and led everyone to sit down.
A few people exchanged a few words, and a master walked in outside, holding a bag in his hand.
"My lord, the money from the officials is here!"
The bag was presented, and the black dog couldn't help but smack his tongue, it was only a few days before he came to pay for it! I just handed it in at this time, which is a reminder to let them pay the money first before doing things!
Governor Liang nodded with satisfaction, and opened the money bag in front of several people with a smile, but the smug face that was originally smiling suddenly sank.
The black dog is confused, why is he still not happy! Is this another way to get off the horse?
"Our yamen has five fast catchers, and there are only four gifts here!" Governor Liang took the money to the table and slapped it, and said very unhappily.
"It's... Zhang catches him..."The master stammered, not knowing how to explain.
"Call him here!" Liang Zhifu slapped the table, his eyebrows were angry, the master was startled, and quickly trotted out and called someone in.
I saw that this person was short in stature, I was afraid that he was not more than 1.7 meters, thin and weak, and he didn't look like he was running around every day and exercising a lot of fun.
"Zhang Zhukuai, why don't you give us money!" The master asked indifferently, having seen the fate of this head catcher next.
The black dog looked at the situation in front of him, looked at Zhang Zhukuai, and stubbornly tilted his head aside to not look at Governor Liang. clenched teeth, and his face will even show helplessness and disdain from time to time.
"Yo! Isn't this Brother Zhang! I'm your black dog brother! The black dog stood up and rushed over and patted Zhang Kuai's shoulder fiercely, pretending to be very familiar.
Everyone present was stunned except for the black dog, especially the master's jaw almost fell to the ground.
"The one hundred taels of money you asked me to bring to the prefect is now in my pocket!" The black dog took out the money bag in his hand and handed it to Liang Zhifu, "And the little shop's heart for you!" ”
Liang Zhifu couldn't react for a while, and looked at the black dog for a long time, but the master came up and grabbed the money bag and put it on the table.
"This is my heart and Brother Wan's heart, please smile!"
After Qian Wanlao finished speaking, the black dog went over and took the box of silver tickets and handed them to the master, and both of them were a little blind.
It took a long time for the atmosphere to ease up, and Zhang Zhukuai was also praised by Liang Governor and then retreated. Several people chatted harmoniously, with normal faces but different thoughts.
This Liang prefect was very happy in his heart, and at a glance, he knew that there was a lot of oil and water to fish in this Xicheng District, and there was a rain and three coins waiting for him! That's an even bigger benefit!
Black dogs and money are nothing, there are more such people in the world, especially in business, how can there be so many novels written in the righteousness of the profit, just look at Yu Sanqian! This kind of thing is not strange, and it is too serious to ensure that you are not assimilated!
Although Wan Liang has been in the Chamber of Commerce for many years, he is still a little uncomfortable when he encounters this kind of person, but he hides it very well on his face! But there is a faint discomfort in my heart!
After a while, the surface work was enough, and several people found a reason to prepare to leave, and Governor Liang naturally didn't stay long, just smiled and said that there was time to get together again.
Several people walked out of the gate of this yamen, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Black Brother!" The black dog was about to get on the sedan chair, and a person ran out of the yamen, it was Zhang Zhukuai, who had just helped him with the black dog.
"Master Wan, let's go first!" The black dog turned around and stopped, and said to the two people in the car, you can't let the two big men wait here all the time.
Wan Liang nodded, and the carriage went away.
"Catch fast!" Only then did the black dog settle down and officially say hello to Zhang Zhukuai.
"Zhang Yufang, thank you for the rescue of the Black Dog Brothers! But Zhang really didn't want to be in Yamen, and he wanted to return to his hometown today! Zhang Zhuai said quickly, and the black dog came to a street tea shop opposite the yamen and sat down.
The black dog nodded, it seems that he didn't help the wrong person! Originally, I was worried that all this was played by the prefect, but I just saw this expression of hatred and impulsively helped him, and the black dog was still a little worried, but now he is relieved.
"But why did Brother Black Dog help me?" Zhang Zhukuai is very strange, this one hundred taels is not something that will be taken out casually, even if it is placed in all the money offered in the yamen, it is definitely one of the best prices, and as soon as he went out, the master's attitude towards him immediately improved a lot.
"Then why don't you pay the money?" The black dog asked rhetorically, she wanted to hear his reasoning and see if she had helped the wrong person!
"Why should I pay for it?" Zhang Zhuai frowned, "I used to follow the iron-faced and selfless Lord Fang, but now I don't say anything to other ordinary adults!" But I can't think of a reason to pay for this money! If the money is to be given to the needy, I will give it! I won't give it to an official who is not short of money and is not righteous and greedy for money! ”
"Good!" The black dog spoke up approvingly, "It seems that I didn't help the wrong person!" ”
"But I'm not going to do it anymore! There are very few people in the entire yamen who are willing to sincerely serve the people, how can they stay like this! ”
