Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Four Private Visits by Chengwei Weifu
There are actually many rumors about Jiang Fan throughout the yamen in Heyang City.
Some say that Jiang Fan has a profound background and has a close relationship with Prince Wu's family. Others say that Jiang Fan is young and energetic, but also has unparalleled poetic talent. He is a typical scholar who is difficult to get along with.
Although it only took a few days from the appointment of the city captain to when Jiang Fan officially took up the post, the officials in the Heyang City Yamen, as well as a group of scribes and government servants, actually had a very detailed understanding of Jiang Fan.
, speculative understanding.
When they heard that Jiang Fan was a young scholar with unparalleled poetic talent, all the officials and servants in the yamen felt something was wrong.
After all, scholars are often aloof and pedantic, and youth means impulsive and naive.
Although it is said that all officials in the Zhou Dynasty were scholars.
But those officials have already been tempered in the officialdom for a long time and have long been integrated into the melting pot of the officialdom.
It is truly unprecedented for Jiang Fan to suddenly reach a high position at such a young age.
Therefore, the officials and servants in the Heyang City Yamen were quite worried about Jiang Fan's temperament, whether he would be the kind of stupid young man who didn't understand anything.
But no matter how worried you are, you can at best pay attention in the yamen at first. Once you leave the yamen and go to the streets to patrol, all the yamen will relax again.
Because in their inherent impression, government officials have to sit in court on weekdays, and no one will have nothing to do and work hard to wander the streets in broad daylight.
As for the government officials who participated in the arrest that night, they all recognized Jiang Fan's identity on Jiang Fan's first day on duty.
It's just that the government officials didn't take this matter too seriously. In their view, it was a dirty deal between big shots, and they were just servants who followed orders.
Not to mention the suddenness of the incident that day, whether Jiang Fan had time to remember their faces or not, even if he did recognize them, he would be unlikely to retaliate against them.
Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and that matter has really little to do with them...
At this moment, the two government officials standing in front of the restaurant were two of those government officials.
The only difference is that compared to other government officials, these two government officials were so unlucky that Jiang Fancai hit the muzzle of a gun on his second day on duty.
At the same time, what they still don't understand is that Jiang Fan not only wanders around on the street with nothing to do, but he will also retaliate for his anger!
"Hunter, you...are you really...the Lord City Lieutenant?"
The woman who couldn't kneel down as Jiang Fan dragged her arm asked in disbelief.
"Presumptuous! How can you talk! How dare you be disrespectful to our Lord City Lieutenant, don't you want to live?"
When the two government officials saw this, they thought they had found an opportunity to flatter him, so they hurried forward and scolded him harshly.
The woman was startled, and was about to admit her mistake in panic, when she saw Jiang Fan turned his head and cursed: "You two are so outrageous! You turn a blind eye to the robbers who robbed you in the street, but you are domineering in front of the people! Who gave it to you?
How brave? Tieniu! I stripped the two of them of their official skins! I feel disgusted! It’s simply a shame!”
After scolding, a gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he looked at the woman again and said: "Auntie, since you still want to get medicine, go ahead and get busy. I have to deal with a few bad apples!"
After saying that, Jiang Fan straightened up, looked around at the people who had gathered around him, and said loudly: "The duty of the street patrol officers is to ensure your safety! It is not to lord it over you! What was it like before?
I don’t care, but now that I, Jiang Fan, am here to be the city captain, then the entire Heyang street patrol officers must truly serve the people!"
"Today in front of you all, I put my words here. If any street patrol officer dares to take cards or refuse to give me money, and collect protection money from me, I will kill every one of them! There are a pair of me.
Just kill a pair! Even if we kill all the current patrol officers! I will not let this kind of thing continue to happen!"
"There's no use keeping them anyway! If something happens, they will just be spectators! If they die, they can save a salary for the Yamen! When the time comes, use this money to hire some knights and knights to fight injustice on the road, which is better than
They are much easier to use!”
"Everyone! I'm not joking. You can spread these words! Let more people know! Isn't there a list in front of the yamen door? It is specially used to post the results of some major cases? I will come back in a moment.
The yamen will formulate a new duty rule for street patrol yamen officers!"
"Everyone can supervise according to the rules! As long as the rules are well-established, if any street patrol officer violates the rules, you can come to me directly to report! As long as the evidence is conclusive, I promise to give you an explanation!"
After saying that, Jiang Fan glanced at the two government officials and found that the two government officials who had been stripped of their official uniforms by the iron bull were shaking like chaff out of fear, and he couldn't help but sneered.
He waved his hand and said: "Take them with you, let's go back to the Yamen, and by the way ask the official who is in charge of these street patrols what they do for food!"
After saying that, he returned the money the yamen servant had asked for from the restaurant keeper directly to the restaurant keeper, and then turned around and headed to the Yamen branch.
Naturally, Tieniu carried the two government servants and followed Jiang Fan.
But as Jiang Fan left, the people who had gathered together cheered.
Jiang Fan's statement just now and his self-proclaimed identity made these people feel like they were in a dream.
After everyone cheered, they couldn't help but have a heated discussion with each other.
"Our Heyang city captain has been vacant for a long time, right? This new city captain looks very different. At least I have never seen any official who is as amiable as this gentleman."
"It's really extraordinary! Especially those few curse words, they are really enjoyable! I remember that all the officials are very particular about their authority and manners. It's as straightforward as this Lord City Lieutenant... This is the first time I've seen him."
"I don't know what the background of this Lord City Lieutenant is. If it is like what he said, I am afraid he will offend everyone in the yamen? If his background is not big, I am afraid it will be difficult to support..."
"To be able to become a city captain at such a young age, he must have a lot of background, so let's not worry about it! People dare to say it, which means they are sure. I hope that the city captain can do what he says! Serve the people? Tsk, tsk,
Listening to this slogan, what it said really touched my heart."
"Isn't that right! Finally, there is an official who really cares about us people. I have to go to the post outside the Yamen this afternoon to see what this Lord City Lieutenant can do. If he can do everything he says,
When he arrives, I will go home and set up a longevity tablet for him! I will worship him every day!"
