On the first day, Jingnan County government officials went off work in a tacit atmosphere of working hard, and the results of their work were infinitely zero.
Work as a grinder at work, and attack as a charge after get off work.
As soon as the yamen were released, all the officials were very active and quick. It didn't take even a minute for the entire yamen to be empty.
The Jingnan County government office was empty, but Hefeng Tower, not far from the county government office, was quickly overcrowded. The county magistrate Zhang Changru, the chief registrar Yao Wenyuan, and the six subordinate staff of the county government office even drank too much last night and were sick at home.
Dianshi and Li Dadu are at work at Hefeng Tower.
Well, it can be said that except for the county magistrate Zhu Ping'an, all the prominent people in the Jingnan County government are present.
Hefeng Tower was reserved by them, and a sign saying "No reception during closing time" was hung outside to ensure that no one would disturb us.
The county magistrate Zhang Changru was like a master, sitting at the head of the table, being admired by everyone. The table was filled with delicacies, delicacies, game, seafood and aquatic products, all of which were included in the feast. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and every dish was delicious.
The jars of wine exuded an intoxicating fragrance. Everyone exchanged glasses and gathered together happily.
"Hahaha, I guess the young county magistrate's face has turned green by now." Liu Yunshan, the official at the banquet, held a wine glass and said with a smile.
"Haha, after this moment, I think his face has already turned green. Hey, Zhang Danian, when you came down from the hall, didn't the little county gentleman stop you and ask you to send him the backlog of case files? What's the matter?
I heard that your torture chamber didn't even sort out a single file in one day. Haha, you didn't see the smile on the little county official's face when he came out of your household room and transferred to our ceremonial room.
nothing."
Wang Bin, the clerk of the household house, took over the words with a smile, and as he spoke, he pushed Zhang Danian, the clerk of the execution house, who was sitting next to him, and started joking with a smile.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, you still have the nerve to say that Brother Zhang, your houses are the same. The little county gentleman asked you to make statistics on the money, grain and tax arrears in the county. I heard that you couldn't even cover a village in a whole day.
Count them up. Haha, how big of a village does it take for you to count them all in one day?" Xu Zhi, the official of the ceremonial house, squeezed his eyes at Wang Bin, the official of the household house, and said with a narrow smile.
"Ahem, there is no way. The cases have been accumulated for a long time, the circumstances are complicated, and so many county officials have been handled. The files are numerous and miscellaneous, and the files are still incomplete. It is naturally very difficult to sort them out."
Zhang Danian, the official of the Ministry of Punishment, coughed with a smile and shrugged with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, so is our household department. The situation in the villages below is complicated. Some people get married and live alone, some marry off their daughters, and some widows remarry. This situation is very complicated, and it is difficult for us to count it.
." Wang Bin, the household official, imitated Zhang Danian's words, smiled and shrugged.
Then, the two of them looked at each other, with a tacit smile on their lips.
"Haha, I can pull you down." Everyone laughed after hearing this.
"Hahaha, the crow has landed on the pig, let's not laugh at each other. Drink, drink." Zhang Danian, the prison officer, and Wang Bin, the household officer, raised their wine glasses and smiled at the officials around them.
Everyone laughed, clinked glasses, and drank to their heart's content.
"Haha, to tell you the truth, when our little county magistrate came to our execution room to collect the files, and when he learned that we hadn't sorted out a single file, he didn't even dare to say anything, and even said that we worked hard."
The jailer Zhang Danian put down his wine glass and boasted to everyone with a smile.
"Haha, what else can he do besides gritting his teeth and swallowing blood? He is a foreigner who is still young and leaves us. What can he do?! If he leaves us all, he is a bare-bones magistrate who can't even fart."
Dianshi Lida wiped the wine stains on his beard with his hand, then reached out and pulled a chicken leg from the plate, went up and tore off a large piece of meat with his mouth, chewed it in big mouths, and said with disdain.
"What Mr. Li said is that as long as we all hug each other tightly, he is a young boy who is still young and can't be manipulated by us." Everyone nodded in agreement, showing special disdain for Zhu Pingan, the county magistrate.
"This position of county magistrate should belong to Mr. Zhang. He, Zhu Ping'an, is just a young boy. How can he have the qualifications and ability to manage our complicated Jingnan County?"
Zhang Danian, the jailer of the execution chamber, picked up the wine glass, stood up and came to Zhang Changru who was sitting in the main seat, and offered a flattering toast.
"Hey, you can't say that the county magistrate was appointed by the higher-ups. How can he be an incompetent person?" The county magistrate Zhang Changru liked Zhang Danian's words so much that his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, but he still spoke in an official tone.
"Haha, Zhu Ping'an is not an incompetent person, then there is no incompetent person in the world. He is not only an incompetent person, but also a big fool. He was stupid in studying. When he was in the capital, he actually conspired to impeach Prime Minister Yan. You
Are you saying he's not stupid?!" The official in charge of the office also came to toast Zhang Xian Cheng and slandered Zhu Pingan. He was well-informed and had already found out the reason why Zhu Pingan was demoted.
"He beats the stone with an egg and uses the mantis' arm as a cart. He is not only stupid, he is downright stupid." Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang, I heard that you came to Beijing and met a noble person?" Everyone at the wine table asked curiously.
"You are all well-informed. You are all family members, so I won't hide it from you. I met Zhang Langzhong from the Ministry of Civil Affairs through my wife's uncle in the capital." Zhang Xiancheng leaned back on the chair and slowly
said.
"Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Official Affairs!!! My Mr. Zhang, we have to hold on to your big thick legs. Your relationship has already reached the Ministry of Official Affairs. Your official career will definitely be prosperous in the future. My Mr. Zhang, you will be prosperous in the future."
Now, don’t forget us poor brothers.”
Everyone praised him, and Zhang Danian, the prison official who was accustomed to flattering him, actually went over to hug Zhang Xian Cheng's thigh.
This is so shocking that I can’t stand it?!
Zhang Xian Cheng squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at everyone narrowly and asked, "When I was about to leave Beijing, guess who I got to know again?"
"Who?" Everyone was extremely curious.
"Yan Shifan, Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang." Zhang Xiancheng didn't keep everyone waiting, and he couldn't wait to reveal the answer to the mystery.
"Master Yan Xiaoxiang?!"
Everyone at the banquet opened their mouths in surprise and screamed like thunder, and the atmosphere instantly became high.
"Yes, it's Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang. A few days before leaving Beijing, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang's cousin Ouyang Zishi and Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang's friend Luo Longwen. It was through them that I was able to meet Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang.
Master." When he said this, Zhang County Cheng's eyebrows almost flew up, as if his whole body was glowing.
"Master Zhang is truly blessed. Once you get to know Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang, your rise to success will be a matter of a blink of an eye."
People were filled with admiration and even more compliments to Zhang Xian Cheng.
"To be honest with you, when we were in the capital, Mr. Yan Xiaoxiang had already asked Luo Longwen to greet the officials. The next magistrate of Jingnan County will be me, Zhang Changru." Zhang Xiancheng squinted his eyes and raised his head to scan everyone.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, congratulations to Mr. Zhang." Everyone congratulated.
As for the next magistrate, this is easy to handle. As long as Zhu Pingan becomes the predecessor, it will be done. Then let's ask Zhu Pingan to get out of here quickly, or everyone here can reach a consensus over the wine...m.
