This kind of officials in this world are similar to the small officials in the history of the Xia Kingdom, they are all humble and powerful, for example, Lu Lianbin is the warden in charge of the specific affairs of the government prison, which is commonly known as the cell head.

Although the warden is not an official, he is not a servant Ding Zhuang, and he is an official on the head of the common people, but in the official government, he is a clerk under the miscellaneous petty officials, and he is under the jurisdiction of the canon in charge of anti-theft and criminal prisons, and is nominally on the same level as the scribes and other officials in the sixth room, but in fact the status is slightly lower than that of the six-room scribe. Because no matter what the scribe says, he also belongs to the civil office, and the warden belongs to the military position.

Therefore, the warden is different from the canonical history, although the latter is only a miscellaneous official who does not enter the stream, but it is also selected by the ministry and appointed by the emperor, and the official belongs to the "court officials".

The classic history is commonly known as "Si Ye" in the folk, and is privately called the "Four Masters" by the county ya, which means that the status is only under the three of the county, the county and the main book, and when the above three are not in the yamen, they are qualified to act as officials to try cases.

And in this magic capital mansion, there are more and bigger officials, and the status of the canon history is not as prominent as that of the county government.

Of course, Lu Lianbin understood that what his boss said was powerful, but in fact, he first suppressed and then promoted, giving himself a chance to exonerate, and in addition, he also cooperated with the prefect to act, so he immediately humbled for himself and reported his difficulties and the strength of the enemy to the top.

made several officials and masters look very ugly when they heard it.

The history of the canon has finished singing the white face, so naturally it is the turn of the prefect to sing the red face.

Their prefect's ability in all aspects is mediocre, but in terms of officialdom articles, it seems to be full of skill trees, and he is very good at flattering and bullying and doing superficial articles, otherwise he would not have seized the opportunity for the imperial court to continue to be good at foreign affairs, and in just a few years, he has gone all the way from a person to the current prefect of the demon capital and the status of the fourth rank of the Tao.

Sure enough, as soon as the prefect opened his mouth, he encouraged Lu Lianbin and the jailer, after all, these people have also really fought against the enemy, and almost all of them are wounded, and there is no merit and hard work.

Then he scolded the officials and the people, and when there was such a big event as a prison robbery, none of the people on either side came in handy.

Especially the leader of Minzhuang, who was reprimanded almost bloody.

"Bastards, you people still dare to call them elites?"

"I was touched into the barracks and the musket was broken, only to find out, is it that you won't be able to fight without that foreign instructor?"

"It's really mud that can't support the wall, if there is such negligence, I'll give it to the master and I will go home and dig in the soil!"

Don't blame the prefect for being angry, it's really that more than 100 foreign guns were bought from foreigners at a great price, and one shot costs more than 30 taels of silver, although he knew that the foreigners were deliberately raising the price, but there was no collusion between several foreigners, and there was no competition with each other to lower the price, so the prefect could only pinch his nose and admit it, fortunately, it was not his own money that was spent, and the arms expenditure was from local taxes and donations from gentry and merchants.

Now that more than 100 rods have been broken, the craftsmen in the government can't repair it, so it costs a lot of money to find foreigners to repair it. This money needs to be paid by the government office.

Fortunately, there are only more than 100 people stationed on the side of the government, and the other more than 800 people are stationed in the barracks, otherwise he, the prefect, would have to die of distress.

After the official finished asking, Master Ning, who was standing there, asked Lu Lianbin with concern:

"Brother Lu, you are really unlucky and unjustified, are those thieves really so strong?"

Lu Lianbin looked at his subordinates behind him, shook his head and said:

"Individually, it seems to be inferior to you and me, but this gang of bandits plus the warlock who is good at spells who didn't show up, the number is at least ten, and there are some strange methods, that is, you and I plus Brother Wu, a famous disciple, are together, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to leave a few."

Hearing Lu Lianbin say so solemnly, the faces of the others present changed.

The three masters are recognized by the government, and even they can't take them, so how can the others do it?

Don't look at these adults who can't do things for the people, but the things related to their own lives are very clear.

Not only are there a lot of bandits like this, but there are also warlocks and demons who can spell, if they belong to the hardcore traitors like the long-haired white lotus, and then make any bigger moves in their demon capital realm, it will be a disaster!

When the time comes, the court will be held accountable, and none of the people present will be pleased, and losing their official positions will only be the best result.

The old man said worriedly:

"The thief is arrogant, how can this be good?"

This magic capital Tongzhi was originally just a local county official, and he was not admitted to the imperial examination, but his father, who was born as a businessman, paved the way for him, first spent money to buy a prison identity in the country, and then operated to become a county magistrate and magistrate.

At the beginning, he also spent a lot of money to be promoted here, and now he has served as this fat difference for two years, and the dredging money in the past has not been returned.

And on the side, the difference with the straw bag is the general judgment master, this general judgment has always been very Buddhist, as if he has not understood the situation in front of him, sitting there half-open eyes in a daze like a clay statue of the Buddha, I don't know whether to be really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Tongzhi and Tongju are jointly the prefect's assistants, and if there can be such an adjutant, the situation of the prefect can be imagined.

However, Ning Jinsheng, who is a master, listened to Lu Lianbin's words, and couldn't help but pay more attention to those people in his heart.

He knows the character of this Lu Dian, he has always disdained to exaggerate, and the other party is not in the officialdom, otherwise he would not just serve as a warden, and he has rejected several promotions in the prefect and others.

"In this way, these bandits are an incredible group of characters!"

Hearing his master say this, the prefect old man looked bitter and said:

"Mr. Ning, I think that this official has been conscientious since he served in the Demon Capital, in order to appease the people of Li and reimburse the imperial court, how could he have encountered these tribulations again and again, the matter of foreigners coercing the imperial court has not been resolved, and now there is another incident of this bandit, how should this be good?"

Master Ning obviously knew the temperament of his proprietor very well, so he bowed and said with a smile:

"Hehe, Lord Fuzun has filtered, in fact, this matter is also easy to solve, whether it is the problem of foreigners, or the case of this bandit, Lord Fuzun, you are responsible, the Governor next door to us is not only your boss, but also as the Minister of Commerce, isn't it more responsible?"

When the prefect's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew that his master had a way.

Hurriedly said: "Mr. is talking about ......"

Ning Jinsheng did not take credit for compliments:

"My lord is really quick-witted, although the matter of this foreigner happened in the territory of our government, but for the imperial court, isn't all foreign affairs in charge of his Liangjiang Governor's Mansion? Something happened, even if the governor put the blame on the head of the mansion, could he Li Hefei be out of responsibility? ”

In addition to the table words in the feudal officialdom, it is more customary to call some big people by their origin and aliases, and the hometown of the governor of Liangjiang is from Hefei, so he is called "Li Hefei" after his rise.

Just as Zhang Ju, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty back then, was a native of Jiangling in northern Chu, he was called "Zhang Jiangling".

"Lord Fuzun tried his best to upgrade this demon capital county to the demon capital mansion, and was willing to risk arrows and stones several times to repel the rebel rebels' siege of the city, and ended the siege of the demon capital, such a merit, even the queen mother of the two palaces and the saint are also aware of it, and now this affairs negotiated with foreigners are all hosted by your lord, that Li Hefei is dedicated to training his Huai army, my lord, you have made such a great effort for his duty, and now the demon is in difficulty, if he does not contribute to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, how should the people of the world think?"

The prefect suddenly slapped his thigh, and praised his merits regardless of whether it was true or not:

"That's right, this demon capital has been upgraded from the county seat to the government at my appointment! I think that after three major wars in the past five years, I personally braved Yashi to lead the foreign spear team and Minzhuang to repel the two sieges of Heavenly Changmao, as well as the rebellion of the Little Knife Society, didn't he Li Shaoquan just rely on following the Hunan army to pick up leaks to win some credit and establish the so-called Huai Army? I, Wu Sanxing, am also a great contributor to the imperial court, why should I be held accountable for his crimes? ”

The more the prefect spoke, the more proud he became, as if he had thought of this clever plan.

"No, I want to send an official letter to Jiang Ning immediately, and I have to send ten or eight masters to help me! And the Huai Army's foreign gun team, at least I want to be able to suppress the number of those foreigners in the concession......"

As a master, Ning Jinsheng of course waited for his pen and ink, personally drafted an official letter to the prefect, and then was responsible for arranging the delivery.

In fact, when the master left the prefect's sight and no one was paying attention, he climbed over the wall from the side of the mansion, preparing to secretly go to report to some people.
