295: Buying New Year's Goods (4) [Seeking Monthly Pass]
"Jun Shen, this is..."
Seeing Shen Tang's face full of joy, several officials bowed, but they still had a lot of doubts in their hearts.
Shen Tang asked several people: "What's wrong with me?"
One of them hesitated: "Seeing Mr. Shen's face full this morning, he was very happy, but what happy event did he meet?"
They wanted to know more about whether Shen Tang got any "benefits" when he visited Mr. Zhang last night with his name card? What about the puddle of dried blood at the door of the office and the messy furnishings inside the office? What do you think? They all look like traces of a fight.
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Hey, you really guessed it. It's not like the New Year is approaching, so I bought a large number of 'New Year's goods'."
The officials also felt a little sad when they heard this.
Speaking of "New Year's goods", they have not allowed their families to have a decent New Year for a long time, and they have also made their parents, wives and children worried.
After all, it is not easy to be an official in Heyin.
Thanks to Shen Tang for paying March's salary out of his own pocket, otherwise this year's New Year would be even more bleak than before.
Thinking of this, several officials' resentment towards Shen Tang for hugging Zhang's thigh in the middle of the night was weakened by three points, and they expressed their congratulations.
Shen Tang: "I hope everyone's life is not easy. After the 'New Year's goods' are settled, everyone will also settle the remaining monthly salary."
Hehehe, she is also a rich person now.
The monthly salary of a few petty officials is not much, but it can win over people's hearts and make them more passionate and motivated to work in the future.
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse!
Heyin officials: "..."
They looked at each other.
I don't know how to react.
This happiness comes too quickly, right?
Moreover, Shen Jun said the day before yesterday that he could only advance their monthly salary for three months because of financial constraints. Why did he have to pay it all one day later? Could it be that they had misjudged Shen Jun's financial resources?
Is he actually from a wealthy family with a great background?
Just at this time, one of the most senior officials caught a glimpse of the jade ornaments worn by Shen Tang at his waist. At first he thought it looked familiar, but then the more he looked at it, the more he thought he had seen it somewhere before. Until a flash of inspiration struck him, and his eyelids twitched wildly as he suddenly remembered something.
He has seen these jade ornaments before.
There is the collection of the head of the Zhang family, who was seen showing off to others from a distance; there is also the Zhou family's second wife who "cleverly robbed" it from a wealthy businessman, and it is said that the jade is of the highest quality and rare in the world; there is also the ancestral inheritance of the Miao family, only the male who is directly related to the family business Only Ding can inherit.
Old official: "..."
How could these things appear in the same person? He squeezed his eyes secretly, fearing that he would see the wrong thing because of his old eyesight.
But no matter how you look at it, the scene has not changed. The old official hesitated and said: "Look at the clever accessories on Mr. Shen's waist. They must be from the hands of skilled craftsmen. Each piece is a rare masterpiece..."
"How many of these are you talking about? They are all 'New Year's goods' purchased this time. I don't know if they are made by skilled craftsmen. Anyway, they are very beautiful." Shen Tang played with the string with his fingers, letting the old official say that Several exquisite pieces collided with each other and made a crisp and sweet sound, but he didn't feel distressed at all. "It looks good, so take it with you."
The old official wanted to speak but stopped, stopped and then wanted to speak.
He wanted to know if these items belonged to that family.
But he is used to being cautious, and no matter how curious he is, he will not ask questions casually. This is also the main reason why he has been an official in Heyin for so many years. See more, think more, do more, see less, talk less and ask less.
Otherwise, I don’t know how he was killed.
They soon knew what the so-called "New Year's goods" were.
Shen Tang asked them to help sort out the accumulated files, and asked one of the officials to lead people to go from house to house to inform them that important matters would be announced at noon. The people of Fugu City were willing to come to see the excitement, and they should try their best to come. fine.
At most there will be some regrets.
Several officials: "..."
They wanted to complain that Shen Tang's behavior was childish.
But this is the Sheriff's order and must be carried out.
"Hehe, their expressions look interesting..."
Shen Tang ordered people to clean everywhere, stretched out and prepared to catch up on some sleep, and slept until noon before getting up to work. After teasing the officials who were still kept in the dark, their mood became brighter and brighter.
Sure enough, getting rich overnight makes people happy.
Qi Shan said: "My lord, you are not afraid of them giving up your choice?"
Shen Tang said matter-of-factly: "How is that possible? The remaining months of monthly salary are about to be settled. No matter how much they have any objection at this time, they will not oppose it. We are all hard-working social animals who are just trying to make a living. I deeply feel sorry for them." Experience.”
Now you are disobedient and don’t want to get paid?
Qishan: "..."
Although I don’t quite understand some of Shen Xiaolangjun’s remarks, I can still understand about seventy-eight points based on the context...
Social animal is such a good word.
but--
Qishan said: "It is inappropriate to compare animals to humans."
He knew that Mr. Shen Xiaolang had no ill intentions and mostly made fun of him, but if he met a serious person, he would definitely be scolded to death.
Shen Tang: "..."
The prison was even more messy than yesterday, and she was not particular about it. She casually pulled out a thin warm quilt to cover her body, found a place to catch up on her sleep. She had no idea what kind of "giant thunder" bombardment several officials were being hit by, and almost almost I was so shocked that I was out of my mind.
"No, it's not good——"
There was a familiar face, panting and holding up the hem of his clothes, while his legs were running so fast that they almost formed an afterimage. The old official scolded: "What does it look like in a panic!"
"No, no, something really big happened."
After hearing this, several people came over worriedly and started chatting.
"Something happened? What happened?"
"Who else wants to call?"
"Which company caused trouble again?"
"No, not at all! Yes, those families were taken over by someone. Just last night, they were all captured and imprisoned from top to bottom, and the prison dungeons were filled with people... It's true, I saw it with my own eyes!" His words were so fantastical that no one believed them. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet and wished he could swear to the sky that what he said was true.
"They're really down!"
Old official: "How can they fail? Who can fail them?"
The man was holding on to a pile of bamboo slips that was taller than the person.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, it's our Mr. Shen!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
All the officials looked at each other in shock.
Their Lord Shen brought down the local snake that was entrenched in Heyin? When did it happen? Why didn't they hear any movement? One of them shook his head in disbelief, pinched himself, and felt pain before he was convinced that he was not dreaming. .
"Really last night?"
The man stamped his feet and emphasized his tone.
"Yes, I led my men to pick out seven houses (at the entrance of the hall) in one night!"
All the officials: "..."
They still couldn't believe it.
It wasn't until that person said that the purpose of organizing these files was to prepare for trial one by one, and to take advantage of the opportunity to kill before the end of the year and use human heads as sacrifices to worship ancestors. Everyone woke up from a dream and started to sort out the files with a tacit understanding. It was better to fight without blood than with chicken blood. Chicken blood!
At noon, Yang Qi is strong.
The simple platform built overnight was already crowded with people who had received the news. They sometimes whispered, sometimes looked up and counted the time.
Until the crowd heard "Here we come" one after another, the crowd parted automatically like a tide and looked over.
