Chapter 44 Being an official is cool

On the way back to Luofu, Kong Fang and the others learned from Luosang that Luo Gongzi was promoted to captain for military merits and received half a month of military leave, so he took 30 soldiers home to save his relatives.

They traveled all the way, and met a caravan fleeing from Qinghe County ten miles away from the city, and they learned that the Litou Mountain bandits had attacked the county seat and were burning and looting.

Luo Gongzi is worried about the safety of the people in the city and his parents. However, there are many bandits in the mountains, and there are only 30 of them, so it is obviously too late to go back and move troops.

What to do?

Lausanne learned from his son-in-law, paced square steps, walked around, and then clapped his hands violently, there is! But I saw that he bought a few colored cloths from the hands of the merchant and made them into more than a dozen military flags.

The military flag was distributed to the hands of the soldiers, and then he asked the soldiers to tie the branches on the tails of their horses, and when the horses ran, the branches drove the branches, and the branches blew dust, and suddenly the wind and dust rolled.

In the end, he sent Lausanne to pretend to be a mountain bandit, sneak into the city to spread rumors that the army of officers and soldiers was pressing the border, disturbing the morale of his army.

"Is my son-in-law powerful?"

Lausanne looked dumbfounded.

Kong Fang nodded, "This plan is very clever, a soldier who surrenders without a fight!" ”

Lausanne didn't understand, "Gongzi Kong, what did you say?" ”

Fang Shiyi's eyes lit up, "Brother-in-law, you also know the art of war?" ”

Kong Fang shook his head, "I understand a little, I understand ...... slightly"

Fang Shiyi smiled "fluttering". The nerdy brother-in-law is getting less and less stupid, becoming funny and understanding more. Go back to Luo Mansion and invite Mr. and Mrs. Luo out of the basement.

Lausanne quickly knelt down and said goodbye.

Mrs. Luo was pleasantly surprised, "Lausanne, Wen Peng is also back?" ”

Luosang immediately got on the ground again, "Of course, Gongzi not only came back, but also led the troops to drive away Zhu Chongjiu, and he is now doing business in the county office!" He said that he would come back to greet the second elder when he was done. ”

"He led his troops to drive away Zhu Chongjiu?" The old husband was surprised and delighted, his son was born, and he was the first to be a mother. "How many soldiers did he bring back?"

"Three thousand ......" Luosang instinctively responded, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was Gongzi's parents and not Zhu Chongjiu, so he immediately corrected, "Thirty, Gongzi brought thirty personal soldiers." ”

"Thirty?" The old lady stretched out three fingers, and her blood pressure soared in an instant. The son led 30 people to suppress the mountain bandits, isn't that just to hit the stone with an egg?

"Old man, quick, quick......"

"Do what?" Mr. Luo touched his glasses with his fingers, the glasses were a little heavy, and he was not used to them.

"Of course, I'm going to help Peng'er fight the mountain bandits, do you want you to go to the theater? He only brought 30 soldiers, how could he beat Zhu Chongjiu's hundreds of men? ”

The old lady was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and Mr. Luo's eyes widened and he looked at her incredulously.

"Are you sure I let me fight the bandits, not send me to die?"

Belch......

The old lady was dumbfounded. Fang Shiyi hurriedly comforted her, "Senior Mother, the mountain bandits have been scared away by Senior Brother. ”

"The bandits ran away?" The old lady will be skeptical.

"Didn't you hear from Luosang that Tianpeng led the troops to drive away Zhu Chongjiu, and is now doing business in the county office?" Mr. Luo said angrily.

"If the bandits don't run, can we get out of the basement?"

The old lady ignored Mr. Luo and patted herself on the chest: It's good that the mountain bandits are gone, and the mountain bandits are gone. She calmed down, and saw the little girl beside Fang Shiyi.

"Hey, isn't this kid Yun Fei'er? How did you end up together? ”

"Madam, I'm Yun Fei'er. It was this sister and this son who saved me. Yun Fei'er said. The old lady held Yun Fei'er's hand and said:

"Thank goodness. Fei'er, how are you at home? ”

"Okay." Yun Fei'er replied reluctantly, as if she didn't want to talk about family matters. Mrs. Lowe thought she was frightened and didn't think much of it, but kept comforting her.

Luo Wenpeng arrived at the county government and learned that the county magistrate Zhu Dachang and other officials and officials had all died under Zhu Chongjiu's knife, and the only official position in the entire Qinghe County was the teaching lark.

He immediately wrote two urgent letters, and sent his own soldiers to the general and the prefect of Poji Province, Tang Bolong, informing the two officials about everything that happened in Qinghe County. The other pro-soldiers were assigned into several squads, standing guard, patrolling with cavalry, and always vigilant Zhu Chongjiu to kill back.

As for the affairs of the county government, he left them to the lark to deal with, and he took two personal soldiers home.

After Luo Wenpeng left, the lark put on the official uniform of the county magistrate, sat on the lobby, held a shocking wood in his hand, and played an official trick against the air. He still thought in his heart that Zhu Dachang was dead, and the other officials were dead, and only he was alive.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and Qinghe County cannot be left without an owner for a day. At present, he is the only candidate qualified to serve as the magistrate of Qinghe County.

What's more, Luo Gongzi made a promise that if he cleaned up the chicken feathers in Qinghe County, he was willing to come forward to recommend him as the magistrate.

As for Luo Wenpeng's words, he believes half and does not believe half.

He believed that Luo Wenpeng was willing to recommend him as the magistrate of the county, but his status was of little effect. The lark believed that it was his father, Mr. Luo, who was old.

Mr. Luo is a great Confucian, peach and plum all over the world, if he is willing to come forward to sponsor himself, the position of county magistrate is ten fingers pinching snails, nine out of ten stable.

And whether Mr. Luo is willing to come forward to recommend, Luo Gongzi is the key, so he is respectful to Luo Wenpeng and obedient.

He believes that his first task is to organize the county government team and pacify the county people.

He personally studied the ink, wrote a recruitment list and pasted it outside the yamen.

Although the bandits have just been eliminated and people's hearts are unstable, he is not worried that no one will come to unveil the list. After all, civil servants are iron rice bowls, and the year-end bonus of five insurances and one housing fund is actually just a small welfare.

The most important are those unseen benefits.

For example, as a priest of Qinghe County, the annual salary offered by the imperial court is one hundred and fifty taels of silver. This is a lot of silver, but it is not much, enough for his family of six to spend.

But it can only feed the whole family.

But did he lack money? The lark pinched the white goatee and was triumphant. Not to mention far away, let's just say that he wrote a book last year, titled "Xiangrui".

Daxing Chao Xiangrui, Baoji Fu Xiangrui, Qinghe County Xiangrui, County Ya Xiangrui, County Xue Xiangrui......

He was auspicious all the way, and he wrote 30,000 auspicious rui, and then combined them into a book, one sold for three taels of silver, sold two hundred and ninety-eight copies, and he benefited eight hundred and ninety-four taels of snowflake silver.

Half a year ago, Boss Wu's Qinglou was newly opened, and he was asked to inscribe a plaque on the three words "Yumanlou", and Boss Wu offered a pen fee of 1,000 taels, and allowed him to enter the building for free for life.

Last month, drinking with the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Baihualou, he wrote a "Hush Poem" with a pen with three points of wine.

"Heavy snow in the cold winter,

Get up and shush the window.

Looking at it from afar, it looks like a line,

landed but became a pit. ”
