Chapter 8: Fish in the Pond

County office.

Council Chamber.

Many officials from the county gathered.

Even the Xiang Jiao, who is working full-time in education, was called.

"What do you think we're going to do now?" Li Zhifeng looked very tired.

At first, he just wanted to be greedy, but he didn't think that the situation would become so serious.

"A group of people who don't know the so-called,"

The man who spoke sat at the head of the left side, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyes closed, and he was calm, "Let the inspection department take people over, catch those who should be caught, and beat those who should be beaten." ”

He said it lightly, but the surrounding officials became very embarrassed when they heard it, and they all looked at the county order.

Li Zhifeng sighed, and said slowly: "Before, I also had the same idea as Zhou County, and I wanted Inspector Zhao to take people to suppress it, but there were nearly a thousand people who made trouble, and if it was forcibly suppressed, I was afraid of setting off a bigger storm,"

"If it reaches the ears of the prefect, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to do, and most of the soldiers and horses of the county government officials and inspection departments have gone to the countryside to provide disaster relief, which is really difficult."

The rotating Buddha beads came to an abrupt end, and Boqian, the county Chengzhou, opened a pair of eyes that were full of fine light, and said: "It's the same, first the locust plague and then the drought, and yesterday there was another earthquake in Shillong, which really needs to be controlled in time." ”

The voice fell, and the team leader Yang Feng asked to see him again.

When he came in, he said, "My lord, I have rushed to the outside of the county office." ”

Li Zhifeng pressed his temples and sighed: "Xiang Jiao, please go over and stabilize first." ”

Xiang Zhicheng is also from a high background, and now he is forty-two years old, with a goatee under his chin, and his appearance naturally gives people a gentle feeling, so he got up and saluted: "I don't know what the lower officials should use to stabilize them?" Please advise! ”

"It's not that you don't know that the money and food that was levied at the beginning were all robbed by Lei Zhentian's gang of bandits,"

When he said this, Li Zhifeng didn't show anger, but was a little melancholy, "You go and tell them that when the county government suppresses the bandits, there will naturally be corresponding compensation." ”

Xiang Zhicheng was ordered to leave, and the council hall fell silent.

Suddenly.

The tax ambassador's face turned pale, and he pressed his left chest with both hands, looking sick.

Seeing this, the prison officer next to him didn't know whether it was because of his quick eye disease or premeditation, so he helped up the tax ambassador, "It's not good, Lao Zhang is sick again, I'll send him to the doctor." ”

The main bookkeeper, Huang Anfu, rolled his eyes.

The next moment, the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion came, "The master is not good, the twelfth lady has a high fever and is already unconscious." ”

"It's... This..."

Huang Anfu looked panicked, and hurriedly got up and saluted Li Zhifeng, "Lord County, I... This is a big deal for me, I can't delay, I'll go back first. ”

Soon, those who pretended to be sick were sent to the hospital, and only two people were left in the county order and county for a while.

Zhou Boqian's eyes when he looked at Li Zhifeng became gloomy: "Speaking of which, this is a public security incident, isn't the new county lieutenant in office, so it's better to hand it over to him to deal with." ”

"Chen Zishi is a newcomer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it," Li Zhifeng was a little worried.

"Hehe," Zhou Boqian said with a smile: "Didn't he run to investigate the case when he was idle, it shows that he has a lot of energy, and the most important thing is that he has been too unquiet for more than a year, didn't you say that the top has ordered five times?" ”

"If this matter is to be done well, it is the credit of your lordship, if it is not done well, it will be that he Chen Zishi will intensify the conflict, cause conflicts between the government and the people, and destroy our previous pacification work."

Hear the words.

Li Zhifeng seemed to see a new window, and nodded again and again, "This plan is very good." ”

But he suddenly thought of something, "It's just that Chen Zishi's foot injury hasn't healed, will he let him go..."

"Alright,"

Zhou Boqian got up and prepared to leave, "When is it, my lord, you still care about your subordinates, don't forget that next year is the three-year assessment period." ”

The assessment of Dazhao officials is once every three years, and the examination is completed in nine years, and it is divided into three categories: competent, ordinary, and incompetent.

From last year to the beginning of this year, there was a major case of the Qin family in Qingxi County, and there were locust plagues and droughts in the future, and chaos continued, and Li Zhifeng was very worried that he would be assessed as incompetent and demoted.

As soon as Zhou Boqian reminded him like this, he was very relieved, and even suddenly hoped that Chen Feng would mess things up, so that he could put the blame on Chen Feng.

"Okay,"

Li Zhifeng immediately ordered: "Go and ask County Lieutenant Chen to come over." ”

……

Chen Feng had just finished breakfast at home, and it was difficult to move because of his legs.

I sat at my desk and thought about a way to make money and renovate the house.

"Lord County Lieutenant, the county lord has an urgent summons."

Chen Feng frowned, although he knew that Shen Ruxuan would definitely actively bewitch the victims, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, thinking that it could be something else?

When I went out on crutches, I saw the errand officer standing at the gate of the courtyard, his appearance was very ordinary, and it was difficult to notice it in the vast sea of people.

"You are?"

"Wang Yunchao, the head of the villain's fast class."

The fast shift is the well-known fast arrest, a bit similar to today's criminal police.

Although the government officials in this era are not personnel in the establishment, if they want to gain a foothold in the county government, this group of people cannot be ignored.

As the so-called power comes out of the barrel of a gun, in this Qingxi County, in addition to the government service, there are only soldiers and horses of the inspection department, and as for the more regular army, the closest to Qingxi is Guanshan Qianhusu.

That's right, the military system of the Jokhang was the system of the guards during the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, Chen Feng has the heart to have a good relationship with this group of people.

Wang Yunchao was very respectful when he saw him, compared to Fang Shan, it was a world of difference, but he was not restrained.

"The county is so anxious to see me, is there something urgent?"

Wang Yunchao took the initiative to help, and Chen Feng did not refuse, "It's the victims outside the city, I burned the city gate tower this morning, and broke into the city to the county government, asking the old man to pay back the money, and the county master had no choice but to call me to invite you." ”

Boy.

Chen Feng had to admire Shen Ruxuan's speed, but his face was impassive, "In my opinion, you are looking for me to take the blame." ”

Wang Yunchao smiled and didn't dare to speak.

"I also came out of the pile of victims, I don't know anything,"

Chen Feng sighed, "Natural and man-made disasters, the people's lives are difficult, presumably your life is not easy." ”

"That's not it,"

Speaking of himself, Wang Yunchao's dark face floated a little color, "Don't hide it, we haven't received monthly money for two months." ”

Chen Feng did not shy away from saying: "So the reason why the victims are making trouble is not for no reason, in fact, I can understand them very well." ”

"This..." Wang Yunchao was stunned, thinking that he didn't want to say this kind of thing.

"I'm a straightforward person, I don't like to go around and around,"

Chen Feng said indignantly: "I experienced a military disaster when I was a child, and I know the feeling of being cornered, there is nothing that cannot be said about these words, I don't lie to you, if I am not an official of the imperial court, maybe I will take them to make trouble." ”

"You say that we trust the government, but in the end the government doesn't give us food, what's the matter? Why? ”

"That's it, why!"

Wang Yunchao thought of the hungry child in his family, and the suppressed anger in his heart was released with Chen Feng's words.
