Chapter 58: Striving for Merit

Zhou Ang's life soon became a three-point line.

Or go outside the city in the morning, go to the mountain gate, practice with Ao Chun, and also take time to guide him to write, rub a meal at the mountain gate at noon, and go directly to the yamen in the afternoon to sit on duty.

Although he was still not Xiao Ao Chun's opponent at all, Zhou Ang himself felt that he was making rapid progress, and he had even begun to observe and think about Ao Chun's sword ideas. Although he was still lost in a second, Ao Chun himself admitted that Zhou Ang's sword was becoming more and more casual, which made him feel more and more surprised.

Zhou Ang feels that this is progress.

After three days of training with the iron swords issued in the yamen, they switched to a pair of peachwood swords pulled out of the warehouse in the mountain gate - the peachwood sword is heavier than the iron sword, for Zhou Ang, it can exercise the strength of the arm and the grasp strength of the palm, and for Xiao Aochun, it doesn't matter if the focus is light.

During this period, he also completed the work of replacing the "paper cutter" with a short sword issued by the yamen, that is, the situation of carrying two swords on his body at the same time would not appear on him again.

As for being in the yamen...... He's almost transparent now.

He is a type of clerk, but he doesn't work on the clerk's side, and he hardly needs to have any dealings with those people, but on the side of the military staff, everyone always has action, but the kind of action that requires his participation doesn't seem to have appeared yet, so although people recognize it all, there is almost no interaction.

Every day when he went to the yamen, he sat down to drink water, read books, and practice calligraphy, and sometimes there were many people and sometimes few people in their office, when there were many people, everyone threw dice and pushed pai gow, and when there were few people, they were busy with their own things, and there was nothing that Zhou Ang was willing to take the initiative to participate in, and no one took the initiative to invite him to participate.

Soon it was the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and the yamen was on a three-day holiday.

First, the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and secondly, it is also considered to celebrate Zhou Ang's official appearance, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Ye took the initiative to have a meal, Zhou Ang and Zhou Cai's, Zhou Zihe all passed, and everyone gathered happily for a long time.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Jing's father and son's injuries were close to healing, and they finally officially came here to report their employment. Chen Jing joined as a formal clerk, and Chen Fu became Du Yi's follower, preparing to "enter the Tao".

How did they "enter the Tao", or "open the mind", in fact, Zhou Ang was very curious. But he knew that this thing should never be asked or inquired about.

Of course, Zhou Ang was not in a hurry, he felt that one day he would figure it out.

............

At noon that day, after lunch, Zhou Ang went down the mountain and entered the yamen as usual.

But as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong.

Because of the particularity of the work of several military personnel on the side of the county Zhu Yamen, there were very few people in this room who were sometimes fully staffed, either you went out or he went out, which was normal, but today it was very unusual that there was only one Wei Ci Wei Ziyi in the house.

Zhou Ang was surprised for a moment and asked, "Brother Ziyi, why are you yourself?"

Wei Ci raised his head and said, "There is a task, they are all out." Then he lowered his head again.

The attitude is not very good.

Originally, everyone is a unit, but it does not form the concept of competition, but as a team, everyone is helpful to each other, and the more people, the greater the strength, so although Zhou Ang is a newcomer, he has no friendship with everyone, so no one is close, but at least everyone is calm and kind.

In addition, after all, we have been getting along for a while, and the relationship is still quite harmonious.

Especially Wei Ci, Zhou Ang's recent observation is that he seems to be just a countryman before, and he can't even read words, and then he was involved in an incident by chance and became a cultivator, but he, a cultivator, doesn't seem to be good at fighting, but is good at "looking at qi", and therefore, many times he is in charge of reconnaissance and search, and when he is really about to fight, he was sent back to sit in the office.

A person who is not very good at fighting, a former illiterate person from a poor tenant farmer, in the midst of a group of fierce cultivators, it is impossible to be angry, although between the team, everyone cooperates with each other sincerely, and everyone also relies a lot on his ability, but just an inferiority complex is enough to make him low-key and careful.

Zhou Ang pursed his lips, "oh", didn't ask any more, sat down next to his bookcase in the past, and began to pick up a book and start reading it calmly as usual.

Although Zhou Ang does not have much hope for the road of fighting too much through poetry and poetry or essays, he is still not ready to throw away the ability he already has.

So learn from the past.

During this period, a scribe came in and asked Zhou Ang to sign.

But it turned out that the weasel demon that Zhou Ang killed last time was given to Gao Jing by him to wish the yamen in their county, and when Gao Jing reported it, of course, he reported this as an achievement, and the credit was credited to the entire yamen, but the benefits still had to be given to Zhou Ang.

And now, it is the top that has sent down the reward for killing the two weasel demons last time, and Gao Jing and Gao Anping have already assigned their dues in the morning, and now people are coming to find Zhou Ang, purely to ask Zhou Ang to sign, and when he leaves in the afternoon, he can take his share of the biggest reward away.

And that's certainly a good thing!

Although there was no demon yuan when it was reported, the weasel demon was just an ordinary nine-rank monster, but there was also a pure material reward of sixty taels of silver!

In duplicate, Zhou Ang signed it, one was left, and he could go to collect the money later, and the other copy was taken by the clerk and wanted to enter the file.

As soon as the matter was over, Zhou Ang was still thinking about where to spend the one hundred and sixty taels of silver he already had in his hand when he heard a chorus of footsteps in the courtyard.

Feng Shan, Liu Rui and other five people actually came back with their front and back feet together.

Everyone had some resentment on their faces.

It seems that there is still some schadenfreude?

They came in silently, everyone didn't speak, and Wei Ci asked, "How is it?"

Feng Shan sneered twice and said, "One died, two were caught, and one ran away." ”

"Ran away?" Wei Ci was surprised and puzzled.

At this time, Liu Rui also sneered and answered: "We were transferred to help, this can't blame us, there are more people on their side than us, and they are better than us, and they ran away from one, can they blame us?"

Zhou Ang listened to their conversation in his ears, and although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't open his mouth to participate, but still continued to read his book.

Before they could say a few words, Du Yi and Du Ziyu stepped in.

As a result, everyone's resentment suddenly arched up, "Master Du, this is too bullying, isn't it? Why are we? We have been staring at this matter for more than half a month, and they say that they will rob it!"

"That's it, Ziyu, you have to tell the county Zhu, we can't always let them be bullied like this! This is our case, and now that the net is about to be closed, they snatched it away with one foot!"

"If you snatch it, you will snatch it away, and the official will crush people to death! But since you are so capable, you can do things well! As a result, you actually ran away! There is no shame in losing people!"

Du Yi coughed, looked helpless, and said: "Okay, okay, everyone, don't complain! Isn't this also something that can't be helped! Although they reach out to pick peaches like this, it looks ugly to eat, but the reason is quite reasonable, I'm worried that we won't be able to take it!"

After a pause, he said: "It turns out that the county's prediction is reasonable, this battle should have lost several masters, and it failed to stop the most important target and let him run." Think about it, if we were to do this alone, would we be able to take it? Maybe we would have to be eaten by the other side in turn! Compared with this, what is the point of grabbing some credit or something?"

At this moment, everyone stopped talking.

Zhou Ang probably understood what it meant, and at this time, he watched coldly, and he could see it clearly: If you want to talk about grievances, there is really a grievance, and it is not small, but according to Du Yi, after the county grabbed it, it was actually a miss, so at this time, everyone's grievances are not as good as ridicule.

Compete for merit in the county?

It's kind of interesting.

When he had just entered the industry for less than a year, some of Zhou Ang's plans were taken away by his boss - but it didn't matter, after suffering the first loss, the second and third time, he went from raw to cooked and understood the gameplay of this game.

You took my things, you can, but you must give the benefits that should be given, if you dare not give it, I will flip the table!

So in the first year of entering the company, he worked hard, did a lot of work, left a body of complaints, pretended to be a bag of criticism, and was stunned to raise his salary of 500 yuan, but in the second year, he jumped from a monthly salary of 5,000 to an annual salary of 150,000 yuan.

............

As soon as Du Yi finished appeasing over there, everyone was still talking, and the county Zhu Gaojing came in.

As soon as he arrived, all the discussions in the room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone got up one after another, and even Zhou Ang followed suit.

Gao Jing waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit, and then said, "The situation is a little complicated now. You shouldn't know that a total of seven talismans were used in the county just now, but they couldn't stop that person, and several brothers died. Moreover, we have no way of judging how high the opponent's strength is. ”

"I judge the same as the county, the other party should not choose to leave the city in the first place, and even, he may choose a certain degree of revenge! During this time, everyone cheers up and pays more attention! If you find a clue, no matter how small it is, report it immediately!"

"No!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Jing turned around to go out, but stopped again, looked back at Zhou Ang's position, smiled, and said, "Brother Zixiu, I have some good tea that I just arrived there, do you want to come and taste it?"
