Chen Aozheng was in high spirits and organized a group of officials to give the county government a makeover, and he was in full swing and happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone was forced by the county master's "obscenity" and worked very hard. Chen Ao ordered one of them to slaughter the chickens he had collected from the princess, and he also took out his own money and asked someone to buy wine and meat.
He was supposed to take office a month ago, but it was postponed for a month. But this is not less. Moreover, the people of the county government naturally did not dare to be greedy for the money of the county order, so the silver was kept in the treasury intact.
As soon as Chen Ao came, Pei Shikong sent him the silver. These silvers are the same as those picked up, and Chen Ao doesn't take them to heart, so he simply uses them to win people's hearts.
In Liang's house, Steward Du told Liang Sizhi about the situation in the court, 1510.
"You mean, Chen Ao solved all those cases in less than an hour?" Liang Sizhi was slightly surprised.
Du Cheng nodded, feeling incredible in his heart.
Liang Sizhi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It seems that he really has two hits!"
Lu Degui, who was standing on the side, interjected: "Young master, I think this kid is a little difficult to deal with! It's better to take advantage of his unstable foothold and do him!"
Liang Sizhi frowned, shook his hand, and poured a cup of hot tea on Lu Degui's face. Half of Lu Degui's face was burned red, but he didn't even dare to scream in pain.
"Something that is not enough to succeed, and there is more than enough to lose!" Liang Sizhi snorted coldly, "Since he hasn't stood in my way, let's leave him alone!" Du Cheng, tell me to go down, and the things in the house that will only cause trouble for me will be restrained a little! If anyone spoils my big thing, I will never be polite!"
Du Cheng nodded in response. Lu Degui was embarrassed and frightened. The troublesome guy that Liang Sizhi said naturally includes him.
After being silent for a while, Du Cheng said again: "Young master, the three exiles who helped Chen Ao last night were found out by our mine, do you want to ......?"
Liang Sizhi raised his hand and said, "Forget it, it's just a few prisoners." When this recent batch of silver is sent out, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Hmph, those old guys in the Central Plains are babbling on the rivers and lakes, if I hadn't sent them a steady stream of silver, would they be so beautiful?"
Du Cheng said with a smile: "The young master is right! Others think that those heroes come and go like the wind, and they are chic and free. In fact, if they didn't have the silver, they wouldn't be able to move an inch at all! However, if we give the Juntian Sword Sect such great support, those white-eyed wolves in the Central Plains have never given us a good look!"
Liang Sizhi sneered: "Those in charge of affairs in the sect are becoming more and more dependent on us, and I am not afraid that they will not speak to me." As long as I cut off the silver, they will have a hard time! In another two years, I will be the head of the Juntian Sword Sect behind the scenes!"
Lu Degui couldn't understand what they were saying, so he could only laugh and laugh.
It was getting late, and Chen Ao and a group of officials sat in a circle in the back hall of the county government. Pei Shikong naturally couldn't isolate himself from the crowd, and squeezed in with a smile. Chen Ao glanced at him and didn't care.
Chen Ao stayed with the bandits for a month, and he gradually became more and more bold in eating and drinking, and he also talked and laughed with this group of rough errands.
After an afternoon of rectification, the entire county government has taken on a new look. Not only was all the house cleaned, but even the doors were repaired, and the curtains in the house were taken out and handed over to outsiders to wash.
Only then did Chen Ao feel a little angry and in a good mood. With a good working environment, this work will be more energetic!
Everyone pushed the cups and changed the cups and drank until midnight. Chen Ao also took this opportunity to inquire about the situation of some county officials. Liangcheng County Cheng has always been vacant, and he has always been the agent of Master Pei. And the so-called master is actually the staff officer of the county order, who specializes in giving ideas to the county order.
However, Chen Ao didn't expect this dog-headed military master Pei Shikong to give him any ideas. So I didn't even ask much.
In addition, there is also a master book in the county office, which is responsible for the records of the court trial, the classification of the county government files, and the handling of various documents.
Chen Ao couldn't help but wonder, why he had been here for two days, but he had never seen any master book? Even today, he did not see the master book recording on the side.
Everyone told him that the surname of the chief secretary of the Liangcheng County Ya was He, the large Jiang Yue, and he was a native of Liangcheng. People are talented, and they are also very talented. It's a pity that he is a complete drunkard, all day long, only in drunken dreams, never in political affairs. In the past year, the documents of the county government have piled up, and no one has taken care of them.
When Chen Ao heard this, he felt a little unhappy. Not only does He Jiangyue have no sense of responsibility, but he also does not have a sense of professionalism and professional ethics! He has not even gone on strike in a confused county order, and he has worked honestly and in a down-to-earth manner. He is a scribe, why doesn't he work?
At that moment, Chen Ao asked He Jiangyue about the tavern where he often drank, and secretly remembered in his heart, planning to meet this drunkard tomorrow.
And the head of this class of officials, that is, the county lieutenant, only heard his name, but did not see his person. None of the officials had ever seen the county lieutenant.
Pei Shikong finally interjected at this time: "Guan Ping Guan County Lieutenant has outstanding martial arts, and now he has been hired by the Liang Mansion to be the leader of the guard!"
Everyone suddenly realized. Chen Ao sneered in his heart, this Guan Ping is at ease, receiving the public's money and doing private work!
He didn't say much, he just drank with the crowd.
Pei Shikong said: "Guangnan East Road has always been a place where the imperial court exiled prisoners. There is also a county prison in the local area, which is also under the jurisdiction of adults!"
Chen Ao suddenly remembered the three men with shackles on their hands and feet last night, could it be that they were exiles?
It's just that I didn't look carefully last night to see if they had any tattoos on their faces. Chen Ao knew from the Water Margin that the exiled prisoners of the Song Dynasty would tattoo words on their faces, such as stabbing a certain place. These tattoos will become a shame that will be difficult to wash away for a lifetime.
Chen Ao couldn't help but ask, "What do these exiles do?"
"Of course it's coolies!" Pei Shikong said with a smile, "Liangcheng is located next to the official road between the north and the south, and there are many caravans coming and going. Most of them were government-run caravans. The unloading and carrying of goods to and from these exiles is the work of these exiles. ā
He lowered his voice and said with a strange smile: "Moreover, if adults have any personal work, you can also take them to do it." These dogs are the cheapest coolies, just take care of a meal!"
Chen Ao was taken aback. Pulling prisoners to do private work, then wouldn't I become the black-hearted warden in "The Shawshank Redemption"?
Seeing that Pei Shikong was going to give him a bad idea, Chen Ao hurriedly waved his hand and moved on to another topic. He sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he had finally crossed over and become a small official. Who would have thought that the place he came to was actually a place of filth.
Not only are there land snakes here, but there are also a group of wine bags and rice bags under their hands. It's like playing cards, you have to grab a bad hand, and you have to grab the landlord. Alas-
The meal was drunk until midnight, and Chen Ao wanted to lead the topic to Liang Sizhi several times, but found that as soon as these people mentioned the surname Liang, they immediately stopped answering. Chen Ao wanted to inquire about the origin of this Liang Mansion and how powerful it was, but he failed to do so.
Everyone dispersed, and Chen Ao lived alone in the county office, lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about the events of the day. He sneered in his heart, Liang Sizhi, today's incident is clearly that you intend to fix me! You wait for me!
I, Chen Ao, am a person who will take revenge!
