Chapter 5: There is only one way to be an official

If you don't know, you leave your post without permission.

knows, it is to deceive the officials.

For Li Changgui, who has never read a book, this is a difficult problem.

In Dazhao, the city gate guards in a small county like Qingxi have a very low status, to be precise, they are not soldiers, but the county government is drawn from the third class of officials to watch the door.

It is also tiring to enforce the curfew at night, and it is usually ostracized and thrown here.

Li Changgui, who didn't know the inside story, thought that in order to welcome Chen Feng, the county respected the people and forcibly requisitioned money and food, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful.

Thereupon.

Chen Feng's calm voice fell on his ears like thunder.

His legs were weak, and he knelt down directly towards Chen Feng.

"My lord, I... I... That's the case, yesterday several towns and villages in the west sent people, and the yamen didn't have enough manpower, and the county lord couldn't do it,"

Li Changgui was very worried, "In order to appease the people, we don't dare to say it." ”

"Get up,"

Chen Feng walked forward, he didn't plan to punish a pawn who didn't know anything, just to deter the other party and ask questions.

"The county lord thinks about it, and the official doesn't mean to blame you, what are you afraid of,"

Chen Feng suddenly approached Li Changgui: "I suddenly remembered something, on the way here, I heard that there was a case in the county more than half a year ago, saying that there was a woman surnamed Zhang who was molested on the street, and later killed herself in the court, what is the situation?" ”

Li Changgui was so frightened that he didn't know when a lot of sweat stains had appeared on his forehead.

……

County office, two halls.

"What?"

The county commander Li Zhifeng heard the report from the subordinate officials, and suddenly got up, "County Lieutenant Chen's foot is injured?" What is the situation, you explain it clearly to the county! ”

According to the distance, Chen Feng should have arrived yesterday, he was fully prepared, but he didn't wait for anything.

"I asked the victims who came with Lord Chen, and they said that the ground shook yesterday, Lord Chen and his party fell into the valley and injured their legs, and the people who followed him also died to protect him,"

The subordinate said: "But don't worry, Lord Chen's leg has been bandaged and is fine." ”

"In this way, the county will be a little relieved, but we still have to arrange for the best doctor in the city to take a closer look at County Lieutenant Chen."

"Yes."

Li Zhifeng coughed lightly and asked, "By the way, why hasn't County Lieutenant Chen arrived yet?" Did you go on something else? ”

"Yes, I learned from the team of those victims that someone mentioned the case of the Qin family more than half a year ago to Lord Chen, as if he wanted to ask Lord Chen to make the decision for the Qin family,"

The subordinate officials were cautious, "After Lord Chen entered the city, he grabbed Li Changgui and asked for a long time. ”

Li Zhifeng's figure was slightly fat, and there was an air of elegance between his eyebrows, and he commanded: "You go and invite immediately... Ask Zhou County Cheng and Huang Zhushu to come and see me. ”

Not much.

Huang Anfu, the chief bookkeeper, walked in with a smile, still holding a cup of wolfberry in his hand, and said with a smile: "I said Lord Zhixian, what are you doing in such a hurry to call the lower officials?" ”

"Where's the state and county?" Li Zhifeng asked.

"If you have asthma, you go home, and you say that what is the matter, it is all up to you, and there is no other thing to say."

Of course, Li Zhifeng knew that most of the asthma was fake, but he didn't say anything, signaled the rest of the people to leave, and only then told Huang Anfu the news reported by the appropriate officials.

"Come on, come on, what are you afraid of?" Huang Anfu took a sip of wolfberry tea comfortably.

"The Qin family's case is not worried about the county,"

Li Zhifeng said solemnly: "But don't forget the way this Chen Zishi came from, standing behind him is Lai Wanchun, this Lai Wanchun has a vendetta with my teacher, he has always wanted to stretch out his hand to Qingxi, it is obvious that Chen Zishi is the claw he arranged to the north." ”

"Xia Guan thinks that he can't even ask him about the Qin family's case,"

Huang Anfu is nearly forty years old, with two mustaches on his lips, and only a slit left in his eyes when he laughs, "What does the county lieutenant do, he is a petty officer in charge of arrest, inspection, and public security, without the order of his boss, what right does he have to investigate?"

"I said that Lord County, a newcomer like this, before he entered the county office, he began to ask about the cases that had been concluded, and it was too shameful for you, if I wanted me to say, you should give him some color and see, what is going on up and down."

"As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and this county can still understand the heart of County Lieutenant Chen,"

Li Zhifeng said softly: "But what the king master said is also reasonable, no matter what you do, you must have a charter, and the state and county are not there, so it is better to leave the work of teaching subordinates to the king master book to arrange." ”

"Well, this one,"

Huang Anfu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This county lieutenant is a subordinate official of the county, and I can't manage a master book, so it's better to let the head clerk of the county lieutenant's room go over, and it just so happens that I can also do the handover." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhifeng was slightly stunned, and then understood what Huang Anfu meant.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

There are fixed regulations for the construction of each county government in the imperial court, and there is a declaration pavilion on the west side of the county government gate.

This kiosk is specially used to mediate some property disputes, civil cases of fights and brawls, like this kind of small cases, the county order will not be directly elevated to the court for trial.

"When you go down to the official Chen Zi..."

Before Chen Feng finished speaking, Yixian Zhengyin had already stepped forward to support him personally, and his tone was gentle, "Zi Shi is injured, so you don't have to care about these red tapes." ”

If he hadn't known the high-sounding side of the county order in front of him from the villagers on the road, he really wouldn't have seen that Li Zhifeng would be a gloomy person in the city.

Li Zhifeng looked at Chen Feng's injured leg and said: "As the so-called catastrophe does not die, there will be blessings in the future, and the county has already ordered to go down, immediately set up a banquet for the son to catch the wind, and wash away the bad luck first." ”

Use the people's life-saving money to pick him up and wash the dust?

If you agree, your official reputation in Qingxi will be better in the future.

"This..."Chen Feng took a step back, his face embarrassed.

Li Zhifeng was puzzled: "Is there anything unspeakable about this?" ”

Chen Feng said bitterly: "Don't dare to deceive the county lord, when the lower official set off from Guangyang, the mansion respected me with some entrustment, the disaster is like fire, and there is no slackness, originally the lower official still did not believe it, until he entered Qingxi to know that the disaster had reached the point of urgency." ”

"Xia Guan has long known that the county lord loves the people like a son, so it is better to use the money and food from this feast to the people, so I believe that the people of the county will remember the benevolence of the county lord."

Li Zhifeng couldn't understand what Fuzun Ren'ai meant, but his face was still kind and readily agreed.

Then Chen Feng was introduced to officials at all levels in the county, but most of them went to the countryside to help the disaster, anyway, that's what he said, whether it was really a disaster relief Chen Feng didn't know, and he didn't ask.

"When the child is injured, the county will first arrange for the chief clerk to visit the county office when he takes the child to understand some duties,"

Li Zhifeng said solemnly: "In addition, you don't have to worry about the child,"

After a seemingly warm conversation, Li Zhifeng asked the scrivener to take Chen Feng to visit the county office.

then entered the county lieutenant's room, but the other party still walked in front and sat down first, and stilted his legs.

"Does the county lieutenant know that there is only one way to be an official?"

Chen Feng looked at this guy who was holding up the teacup with an arrogant expression, and smiled: "There is Lao Advice." ”

"The turtle has a long life, Lord Chen doesn't know why?" The man laughed out loud, not taking Chen Feng, the boss, in his eyes at all.
