28 Officials
"It's not...... County Zun, you gave too much. Lingfu looked at Cui Yuanting, "This is half of your income." ”
Cui Yuanting smiled: "Maybe I didn't make it clear, this silver is just one of the benefits given by the imperial court, in addition, there are also benefits such as Lu rice, vocational fields, monthly miscellaneous, and force classes, so you don't have to worry about me at all." ”
Well, although the power classes died as soon as they came up.
Cui Yuanting couldn't help but apologize for those hands.
"But an entourage isn't worth so much money...... "A high salary is good, but the money has to be taken clearly and calmly."
Cui Yuanting was inexplicably a little angry, just wanted to say that I have never regarded you as an entourage, but when I thought of discussing with Lingfu several times to no avail, I changed my way of saying it-
"Because you can be literate and martial, talents are rare, naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and the remuneration is naturally higher."
Seeing that Lingfu was still hesitating, Cui Yuanting simply straightened his face, "You forgot that you saved my life?" Isn't my life worth a penny? ”
Lingfu thought about it seriously for a while, and said: "Then thank you to the county, Lingfu will definitely work hard and live up to your favor." ”
Cui Yuanting nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What's the matter with this package and the sword?" ”
Lingfu then remembered that there was still something to discuss with him.
"The sword is for self-defense, and whether I go out with the county or run an errand on my own in the future, I may be able to use it. In addition, the county respects me so well, I also want to be present, but in the future, but if necessary, I will spend the night in the county office. ”
The retinue does not distinguish between day and night, and cannot take money while doing only half of the work.
"Your mother agrees?" Cui Yuanting asked.
Thinking of Qu's expression before going out today, Lingfu just wanted to cover his face and smile bitterly.
Cui Yuanting must not know that the Qu family has now regarded him as a future son-in-law.
They must not meet!
Thinking of this, Lingfu nodded: "A-Niang agreed." ”
Cui Yuanting thought for a while: "Okay, we still have to watch the distribution of food today, and I will ask someone to settle you down after returning to the ya." ”
At that moment, Lingfu left his things in the hall and walked towards the gate with Cui Yuanting.
Who knew that when he arrived at the lobby, seven or eight officials holding a large pile of documents suddenly rushed up under the Dan Fan, shouting to ask Cui Yuanting to approve the documents.
Lingfu shouted: "Bold! Knowing that the county is going out to release grain, why is it blocked here? ”
One of the officials said: "County Honor, you have been here for a few days, and you are busy with food and other things every day, but there is more than this in the yamen." ”
He stretched out the official documents in front of Cui Yuanting: "Look, these are official documents that have been backlogged for a long time, and many of them are in a hurry!" The little one doesn't dare to delay any longer, otherwise he will make a mistake and will take me and so on! ”
This official has been in the yamen for a long time, and the slippery air has penetrated into every cell, and the words he said are yin and yang, which makes people want to punch him twice inexplicably.
As soon as the other officials heard him start, they immediately complained bitterly, shouting how important the paperwork in their hands was.
In the shadow of the Yin Hotel on the oblique side of the lobby, Jiang Xiancheng and Pi County Lieutenant looked at this scene and sneered: "Let him taste the taste of these officials, and let him know that even the county order wants to pass unimpeded!" ”
Jiang Xiancheng's face was gloomy: "As long as he stumbles, let the arranged manpower go to the scene of food distribution, he wants a good reputation, I will give him a sound!" ”
Pi County Lieutenant said: "I have already asked Lei San to go down to arrange, he was punished by Cui Yuanting in public, and he was thrown away again, he has long held a grudge, and he gave him this errand today, the old boy was so happy that he would have jumped out to arrange it." ”
Jiang Xiancheng nodded: "Let's just wait and see the show!" ”
Seeing that the documents were about to fall on Cui Yuanting, Lingfu couldn't help but press his sword and shouted: "Hugh is presumptuous!" ”
The old official was instructed by Jiang Xiancheng, and in the past few days, he has also observed that Cui Yuanting has only such a slender entourage by his side, and he is expected to be weak in others, so he is not afraid of this county commander at all.
The rest of the officials were all headed by him, and when they saw him slipping on his face, they had no scruples, blocking Cui Yuanting from taking a single step.
In fact, Cui Yuanting could have used his hands to kick over these officials, but he was thinking that these people were doing this at the moment, obviously to stumble him, and there must be a back-up move waiting for him, so he groaned.
At this moment, Li Ye, the chief bookkeeper, called a few Sihu Zuo and sent servants to come over from the second hall, and when he saw this situation, he shouted: "What are you doing here!" ”
When the old official saw that it was Li Ye, he was not afraid. Before Cui Yuanting came, Li Ye, the main bookkeeper, was a recognized decoration in the yamen, so he didn't move his arm holding the clerk.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lingfu said to Cui Yuanting: "County Honor, the matter of distributing food is not delayed, why don't you let your subordinates deal with these official documents here with Master Li, and if there is really an emergency, I will send them to you for decision." ”
She was worried that if Cui Yuanting did not show up for a long time, there might be people at the payout site who might incite trouble.
Cui Yuanting's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, then you pay attention to yourself." ”
Cui Yuanting called Li Ye, and after a few orders, he took a few Sihuzuo and left.
As soon as Cui Yuanting left, Xu Lingfu loudly ordered the messenger guarding the gate to close the gate.
The officials were stunned for a moment, and the Lingfu smiled at them, turned to Li Ye and said, "Please sit in front of the lobby." ”
Li Ye sat down in the desk behind the platform in the lobby.
Lingfu said loudly to the officials: "You don't have to worry, come one by one, you must have read so many documents in advance, let's go over one by one, see what is so important, let you not hesitate to prevent the county order from going out to do things!" ”
Lingfu looked at the expressions of these officials, and said slowly: "If there is really urgent official business, if not, I will return to the county honor, and your errand will be done." ”
The officials have observed in the past few days, and they think that they have figured out the temperament of Cui Yuanting and his follower, and they know that Lingfu does not say much, and he looks weak and deceitful, who knows that his words are so neat and sharp!
Even Li Ye was impressed, no wonder Cui Yuanting only took her alone, so it was!
Seeing that no one came forward, Lingfu smiled and said, "What, no one is taking the lead?" She paced in front of the old official, "You have the longest hand and the most words, presumably you are the most anxious here, so let's start with you!" ”
Lingfu didn't wait for him to respond, so he grabbed the paperwork he was holding, gave half of it to Li Ye, and kept half for himself, and just sat next to Dan Fan and watched.
The first time I came into contact with ancient documents, at first Lingfu was very sluggish to read, and when I calmed down and looked at it carefully, I asked Li Ye if I didn't understand something.
Gradually, she saw faster and faster, and after reading a copy, she sorted it next to her, and from time to time she smiled at the old man with an unclear meaning, which made the old guy more and more uneasy.
In less than half an hour, the Lingfu had already read the whole book. Then she picked up the paperwork and got up and walked to Li Ye's side and whispered something to him.
Li Ye also pointed to a pair of documents in front of him and nodded.
The old official suddenly felt bad.
