"Jun Shen, this is..."
Seeing Shen Tang's face full of joy, several officials were confused. They bowed first, filled with doubts.
Shen Tang asked several people: "What's wrong with me?"
One of them hesitated and said: "Seeing Mr. Shen's face full this morning, he was very happy, but what happy event did he meet?"
They even wanted to know if Shen Tang got any "benefits" when he visited Zhang last night with his name card? What's going on with the puddle of dried blood at the entrance of the jail and the messy furnishings inside the jail? No matter how you look at it, it looks like traces of a fight.
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Hey, you really guessed it. Isn't the New Year approaching? A large number of 'New Year's goods' have been purchased."
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 He Yin. .
Thanks to Shen Tang who paid 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 congratulated Shen Tang.
Shen Tang: "I hope everyone's life is not easy. I'm so hungry when the 'New Year's goods' are settled, so everyone has also settled the remaining monthly salary."
Hehehe, she is also a rich person now.
The monthly salary of a few petty officials is not much, but they can win people's hearts after getting married, and they will be more passionate and motivated to work in the future.
Heyin officials: "..."
They looked at each other.
I don't know how to react.
This happiness comes too quickly, right?
Moreover, Shen Juncai said the day before yesterday that he could only advance their monthly salary for three months due to financial constraints. Why did he have to pay it all just one day later? Could it be that they misjudged Shen Jun's financial resources?
Is he actually from a family with a great background?
Just at this time, one of the most senior officials caught a glimpse of the jade ornaments Shen Tang wore around his waist. At first he thought it looked familiar, and then the more he looked at it, the more he thought he had seen it somewhere before. Until a flash of inspiration occurred, he suddenly remembered something and his eyelids twitched wildly.
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 "snatched" it from a wealthy businessman. It is said that the jade is of the highest quality and rare in the world; there is also an ancestral record of the Miao family, and 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 might 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. 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 wanted to speak.
He wanted to know if these items belonged to that family.
But he is cautious by nature, and no matter how curious he is, he will not ask questions at will. This is one of the main reasons why he has not died as an official in Heyin for so many years. In a nutshell, it is - 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 door to door to inform them that there was something important to be announced at noon. If the people of Fugu City are willing to come and see the fun, they should try their best to come and see the fun. If they don’t come, it’s okay.
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 faces look interesting..."
Shen Tang ordered people to clean everywhere, stretched out and prepared to catch up on his sleep, and slept until noon before getting up to work again. After being teased, the officials who were still kept in the dark felt brighter and brighter.
Sure enough, getting rich overnight makes people happy.
Qi Shan said: "Master, aren't you afraid that they will give up your choice?"
Shen Tang said matter-of-factly: "How is that possible? The remaining months of monthly salary are about to be paid out. No matter how much they have any objections at this time, they will not confront each other. We are all hard-working social animals who are just trying to make a living. I deeply feel sorry for them. Experience.”
Are you disobedient now and don’t want to get paid?
Qishan: "..."
Although I don’t quite understand some of Shen Xiaolangjun’s remarks, I can still understand a few or eight points based on the context...
Social animal, what a good word.
but--
Qishan said: "It is inappropriate to compare animals to humans."
If he meets someone who is serious, Shen Tang will be scolded to death.
Shen Tang: "..."
The prison was even messier 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. They had no idea what kind of "giant thunder" bombardment several officials were being hit by, and they were almost frightened out of their wits.
"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 looked at it and scolded: "What a panic!"
"No, no, something really happened."
After hearing this, several people came over worriedly and started chattering.
"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 really fell!"
Old official: "How could they fall? Who can defeat them?"
The man was holding on to a pile of bamboo slips that was taller than a person.
Said: "Yes, it's our Mr. Shen!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
All the officials looked at each other.
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 person shook his head in disbelief and pinched himself. Only after it hurt was he 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 in one night!"
All the officials: "..."
They still couldn't believe it, until the man 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 like a dream, and began to sort out the files with a tacit understanding. Not having chicken blood is better than having 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, and the crowd separated automatically like a tide.
Shen Tang finally had enough sleep.
