Chapter 254: Letter (I)
Chen Ao is now the helmsman of the Salt Gang, and it can be said that he has emerged in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to be a county official with a big sesame mung bean. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But the reason why he came to take office early was to use the county government and a group of people who were familiar with the local situation.
The county government is quick to arrest the government, plus the township is brave and strong, there are enough people one or two hundred. Although these people are not high in martial arts, they are very familiar with the local terrain and the situation of the people, and they are the best people to follow and find out the news, and sometimes they are even more useful than those well-trained people in Mochizuki Tower.
The news soon spread to the inner hall, and there was a lot of commotion in the small county office.
Since the magistrate has been vacant for more than a month, the new magistrate suddenly arrived at this time, which caught everyone off guard.
Chen Ao saw Ping Sifang trotting all the way to the gate, and he didn't even have time to straighten his head. He smiled slightly, satisfied with the respectful attitude of his subordinates, and the remaining bit of anger in his heart for the four sides of the peace dissipated invisibly.
He smiled and said, "Ping Catcher, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Ping Sifang glanced at Chen Ao, felt vaguely familiar, and hesitated: "Let's ...... Have we met?"
Chen Ao said: "Ping Catcher is really a noble person who forgets things, a month ago, we met in a hurry at the Binjiang Hall, do you still remember Ping Catcher?"
Ping Sifang has hardly been to the outskirts of the county this month, of course, he immediately remembered the murder case, and also remembered Chen Ao, who claimed to be the new magistrate of the county that day.
Ping Sifang's heart jumped, and he carefully glanced at the official certificate in Chen Ao's hand to confirm that he was not dazzled, and this official certificate was not fake. He was startled, and said in his heart, it's broken, it's broken, could it be that he is really the magistrate?
is the so-called official level to crush people, and the Quartet treats those rivers and lakes recklessly and majesticly, but they don't even dare to speak out loud to their bosses. He hurriedly bowed, deliberately pretending to have a tearful expression, and said, "Lord Chen, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai...... It's really a crime that deserves death if you bump into adults......"
Chen Aozheng had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to listen to his ramblings, nor did he have the heart to enjoy the fun of being an official, so he waved his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, you immediately order all the manpower, I want to arrange the work!"
Ping Sifang was stunned, and secretly thought, this Xinzhi County's style is so solid? Just taken office, he drinks wine and does not accept red envelopes and congratulatory gifts, this is not according to the routine!
He didn't dare to slack off, and gathered all the other people in the yamen, except for those who patrolled the streets, to the lobby. Chen Ao was not verbose, and simply introduced himself and made a mobilization speech. As the so-called new officials take office with three fires, these people standing below are fast and strong, although they are not officials, but they have seen more officials, and they are also old oilers. They didn't know exactly what Chen Ao was talking about, but they knew that they would listen honestly.
After Chen Ao finished his speech, he felt very satisfied when he saw that everyone was silent. This is what it's like to be an official, what kind of life is it like to live in Liangcheng!
He thought about it in his heart, although the Salt Gang Conference has ended now, the matter of the Salt Gang is far from over, and turmoil is inevitable. And now he has a lot of opponents, except for Duan Wuji's father and son, who have escaped, and everyone in the Axe Gang, and Bai Junya and the others are respectful on the surface, but they are probably not convinced behind their backs, plus Liu Dongquan and many idle people in the rivers and lakes, etc., as well as the mysterious power that killed the Axe Gang Jiang Tang Master and Zhao Ling's subordinate Xiaoliu. Now Haixian County has almost become a pot of porridge, and this pool of water is really unfathomable.
In this situation, Chen Ao is also helpless, and can only hope that after a long time, the situation will gradually stabilize and these problems can be slowly resolved. During this time, it is natural to remain stable.
Chen Ao figured out this truth, so he said to Ping Sifang: "Ping Zhutou, you take all the people to the traffic arteries around Haixian, and set up checkpoints on various small roads to pay close attention to suspicious people. At the same time, I want to know who goes out of the city and who enters the city. Among them, some people who should be paid special attention to are the movements of the Axe Gang, the second is the father and son of the Tiangang Gate Duan, and the third is the gang leaders of the Salt Gang. Do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to talk about it. Ping Sifang said with a bitter face: "Lord Chen, my Lao Ping is not a timid person. It's just that the salt gang is not easy to mess with. If it were some stragglers on the rivers and lakes, it would be fine, but the Salt Gang was well-organized and numerous, so we really shouldn't provoke it! In the past, the magistrate also stayed away from the Salt Gang and let it go. Things that the imperial court can't control, why should we bother to ask for it!"
Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to know that Chen Ao had become the helmsman of the Salt Gang. It's no wonder that news is closed in this era. These catchers will not go to the Salt Gang Conference, so naturally there is no way to know.
Qian Laosan couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you afraid of! Standing in front of you is the new helmsman of the Salt Gang......
Before he finished speaking, everyone let out an "ah", which seemed incredible. Chen Ao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ping Catcher, with me supporting you, you just have to do it." Comrades, we are all members of the public family, and we can't eat dry food! Now that there are dragons and snakes in the local area, it is time for us to protect the lives and property of the people. As the saying goes, if there are difficulties, you have to go up, and if there are no difficulties, you have to create difficulties. That's what we really are!"
Everyone was confused, but they finally understood that although Chen Ao was not good-looking, he must not be easy to mess with, and the original idea of being lazy was hurriedly dispelled. Ping Quartet didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to go out with sticks and shackles to set up cards.
Chen Ao watched him walk out of the door, and suddenly asked again, "Ping Zhutou, where is the corpse that I brought back from the Binjiang Hall last time?"
Ping Sifang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "My lord...... The corpse was already a month ago, and his subordinates were afraid of ...... So I found someone to bury ......."
Chen Ao had already guessed this situation and nodded silently.
Ping Sifang thought he was angry, and hurriedly said, "My lord, you don't have to worry. The body was parked at the county office for many days, and no one came to inquire about the case. Thinking of this kind of prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, he has nothing to worry about, it happens to be a headless public case, and there will be no trouble!"
Chen Ao waved his hand and let him go. He didn't blame the flat. Although it is a harsh winter, the corpse will rot after a month, and it should be buried.
He asked the place of burial again and sent someone to inform Zhao Ling of the situation. These people are Zhao Ling's only strength and capital, so Zhao Ling cares about his subordinates very much. Presumably when she gets the news, she will dig up Xiaoliu's body and bury it again.
After all this, Chen Ao rested in the county office. He finally knew the benefits of being a leader. Now all the work is assigned to others, and I am very idle.
Chen Ao saw that it was already noon, so he ate something casually, and asked Qian Laosan to find a room to rest, while he sat on a wicker chair in the back hall garden to bask in the sun. It's been a long time since I've been so idle, and if Xuanning is by my side now, it would be great. Chen Ao sighed in his heart.
After sitting for a long time, sweating slightly, Chen Ao walked to the pavilion and sat down on the stone bench. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at a neatly stacked note on the stone table. He picked up the paper casually, and it turned out to be a letter. On the cover were written two small characters, "Chen Ao", which were obviously written to him.
Chen Ao was a little puzzled, and said to himself: "I've only been here for a long time, who sent the letter here?"
As he spoke, he pulled out the letter and glanced at it, his face darkening and darkening. At last, his face was full of horror, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he threw the note on the table and strode to the front hall.
Qian Laosan was snoring in an empty room, not noticing Chen Ao's strangeness at all. Chen Ao ran to the front hall, patted his head, and then turned back to the backyard stable, and led the night owl who had just ridden out of the door.
He was flustered, grabbed a passer-by at the gate of the county government and asked, "Where is Cihang Nunnery?"
