Since the notice was posted, Chen Xiaomu has been waiting with an uneasy heart to see how the people in Xinjing City will react to the content of the notice. After all, this is the first time in his life that he has issued a notice according to his own wishes. It is unexpected. , until around midnight in the morning, when it was about to go to church, it was still quiet outside. From time to time, groups of refugees, tightly wrapped in rags and getting up early to look for food, passed by on the road. Each one seemed not to have seen the poster on the wall outside the government office. The notice did not show the scene of residents of the new capital swarming on the streets during his preparatory course to bring the refugees home. However, the response from the government officials was relatively large. When it was time to raise the court, no government officials came to answer the questions, and even The yamen in charge of guarding the gate of the government office have disappeared! It seems that these government officials used a collective strike to blackmail Chen Xiaomu into giving up his will to investigate and deal with them.
Sure enough, just after the hour, Zhang Fei leg came over timidly to find Chen Xiaomu. After bowing his hands and saluting, he handed over a piece of paper full of names. Chen Xiaomu reached out and took it. It turned out that the paper was a petition written by the government officials. , the above meaning is very simple, it is to ask Chen Xiaomu to withdraw the order to investigate them, so that they can return to the government office to work normally.
After reading it, Chen Xiaomu sneered: "Haha, I'm afraid of being investigated. It seems that everyone usually does things like extortion! Let's go back and tell them that since they don't want to come back, then don't come back. This letter I will treat the petition as their collective resignation!" After saying that, he immediately folded the petition and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Zhang Feitou was dumbfounded at this time. They didn't really want to do it. They just came over in the morning and saw a notice posted on the wall outside the government office encouraging the people in the capital to report their usual extortion! I thought, this is not bad! To be honest, there are almost no people in their group who have not done this kind of thing. If they are really investigated, I am afraid that all of them will have to go in!
Because Li Jiange, the chief arrest officer of the government office, was arrested for committing a crime yesterday. As the new leader of this gang, apart from Li Jiange, he usually uses black money the most, including Shi Sanyou, the deputy chief arrest officer of the government office. In desperation, Next, he immediately stopped the Yamen who came to Yingmao at the gate of the government office, and brought them to the notice to let them read the content on the notice. Then, when the Yamen were almost here, he took them to where he often went at night. In the Fengyue Tower where they were having fun, they ordered the chiefs of the Fengyue Tower to find a secret room for them to hide in and discuss countermeasures.
Since Li Jiange was arrested yesterday, Shi Sanyou's mood is like that of a mouse that fell into a noodle vat, feeling happy and worried at the same time. Fortunately, his immediate boss Li Jiange was arrested, and the position of chief arrest officer became vacant. There is hope that I can take the position of chief catcher! Speaking of which, the position of chief catcher should originally belong to him. Before Li Jiange took office, he acted as the deputy chief catcher of the government office and presided over the affairs of the patrol room on behalf of the chief catcher. Who knows, he originally thought that he would be the deputy chief catcher. As for the matter of pinching, he was replaced by Li Jiange, a usually quiet little catcher. He almost died of depression at that time!
What Shi Sanyou is worried about now is that he is afraid that Li Jiange will bite him out in prison to reduce his crime for meritorious service. If this is the case, the consequences are simply unthinkable. Shi Sanyou made up his mind overnight and prepared to go to the house this morning. After checking the numbers in the Yamen, I took the time to go to the Yamen prison. In the name of inspecting the cells, I tried to meet with Li Jiange and give him some warning. After all, his parents, wife and children were still outside. I didn't believe that I couldn't catch him. These weaknesses!
You know, God is not as good as man. Before his plan can be implemented, the new prefect and general judge will attack them first. In this way, even if Li Jiange can be silenced now, he may not be able to silence them in the future. As everyone knows, something will happen sooner or later!
"Master Chief, it's past midnight in the government office! What should I do?" A group of people just entered the room. Before Shi Sanyou could sit down and take a breath, he opened his legs and looked at the table. The water in my bed was leaking, so I asked Shi Sanyou anxiously.
Shi Sanyou rolled his eyes and scolded: "What are you lying about? It should be the new prefect and general judge who are panicking right now!"
"But, but" Zhang Fei murmured with his legs: "We are all seniors and juniors, what if...!"
"What if it's a fart!" Shi Sanyou slapped the table and said angrily: "Boss Zhang, you will spank your little ninety-nine. I want to ask everyone here, is that butt clean? If we can't unite now, what will happen in the future?" They will all be defeated one by one, and then everyone will go to jail together!"
"General, chief arrester" Niu Xiaobao raised his hand and asked tremblingly: "Then what should we do now?"
Shi Sanyou's face was as dark as water, and he could only squeeze out one word from between his teeth: "Wait!"
"Wait?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, not understanding what it meant for a moment.
Shi Sanyou nodded and affirmed in a more serious tone: "Yes, we'll wait!"
Niu Xiaobao said dullly: "Master, how long do we have to wait?
Shi Sanyou glanced at him and snorted coldly: "When the new magistrate or general magistrate sends someone to come back to us and agrees to take back the order to investigate us, then we can go back to the government office and continue our work!"
"Master Chief, can the prefect and magistrate bow to us as servants?" Zhang Feili asked doubtfully: "Just now, my subordinate saw the notice below that said that the government office is trying to recruit a group of new officials to replace us. These old cadres!"
"Haha" Shi Sanyou sneered: "Because of this, we can't go back. Think about it, everyone, if we errands suddenly leave the government office, then the Xinjing government office will be empty. Just those few officials Can they support the huge magistrate's office? Who will stand up for them, arrest, protect, and clear the way out! Besides, are government officials really so easy to recruit? Not only do they have to be literate, but they also have to be flexible and agile. See you later. Kung Fu, let’s see how many such people can be found in the new capital city!”
After Shi Sanyou's analysis, all the yamen in the room suddenly felt that they were the most inseparable person in the Xinjing government yamen. Zhang Feijiao even thought from Chen Xiaomu's perspective and proposed to write a petition He came forward to give the book to Chen Xiaomu. As long as Chen Xiaomu could take back his fate in the morning and comfort them with kind words, they would follow suit and go back to work on their errands. This would not only avoid the embarrassment of not being promoted to the government office now, but also relieve their future problems. concerns about being investigated.
As soon as Zhang Feizu said this, Shi Sanyou immediately nodded in agreement and said: "That's good. Everyone can take a step back so as not to hurt each other and save face. In addition, you can take advantage of the short time since the notice was posted to read it." There aren’t many people, so hurry up and tear it off!”
However, when Zhang Fei returned to the government office and presented the written petition to Chen Xiaomu, it was beyond the expectations of the government officials. Not only did Chen Xiaomu not give him any face, he also tore off the card and directly tore it off. The petition they wrote was characterized as their resignation!
Zhang Fei's legs twitched, and then he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Xiaomu: "Master Tongpan, in fact, according to the villain's original intention, he does not want to resign." "
"Oh!" Chen Xiaomu took out the petition from his sleeve again, opened it and read it, then pointed to a signature on it and said with a smile: "Isn't Zhang Degui's name on it signed by you?"
Zhang Feizu gritted his teeth when he heard this and said shamelessly: "Master Qi, this villain signed this name under the pressure of Shi Baotou!"
Chen Xiaomu stared at him noncommittally and asked: "Zhang Degui, tell me the truth. In the years you have been working as an errand in the government office, have you ever done anything to extort people?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and finally rolled his eyes and said in a harsh voice: "Sir, I did do it a few times, but I was forced to do it. I beg your forgiveness!"
"Haha" Chen Xiaomu laughed after hearing this: "Well, you Zhang Degui, you just said that you were forced to sign the autograph, but now you even say that you were forced to do extortion outside! It's all other people's fault, you Don’t you have any responsibility at all?”
"Ah! This...!" Zhang Feili habitually shied away from responsibility, but when Chen Xiaomu blocked him, he was speechless and speechless.
Chen Xiaomu looked at him with contempt and shouted coldly: "Get out of here!"
Although Zhang Feili was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to crawl up from the ground and run away in embarrassment.
Chen Xiaomu angrily picked up the tea cup on the table. Just as he was about to take a sip of tea to suppress his anger, Wei Yuxin came in from outside and said to him: "There is a man named Zhang Jian outside who came to see him."
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but was startled and thought to himself: "Why is Zhang Jian here? Could it be that something happened again in the palace!" He immediately ordered: "Let him in quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jian's hearty laughter came from the door: "Haha, the last general Zhang Jian and the last general Ximensong have come to pay homage to Mr. Chen." As they spoke, Zhang Jian and Ximensong were already stepping forward one after the other. After entering the door, they all bowed and saluted Chen Xiaomu.
Chen Xiaomu was amused and said with a smile: "Hey, I said you two are here to join in the fun, one is a third-grade and one is a fourth-grade, and you are here to pay homage to me, a sixth-grade one. Do you mean to see my joke?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen, don't misunderstand me! Brother Ximen and I came here to ask for something!"
Chen Xiaomu said dullly: "You two military masters, are you sure you didn't touch the wrong door? This is a local government office, not a Taiwei's office, and I have no control over military affairs!"
Zhang Jian laughed and said: "If you were not a local government official, we wouldn't be here yet! It's you who are the local government officials!"
"What?" Chen Xiaomu joked upon hearing this: "Is it General Zhang's concubine who was beaten?"
Zhang Jian turned to Ximen Song, smacked his lips, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ximen, look at this, is this what our old chief said to his subordinates?"
Ximensong stretched out his hand and scratched his head, hehe, he said with a naive smile: "Prince-in-law, we are here to really ask you for something!"
Chen Xiaomu waved his hand in an imposing manner and said cheerfully: "We are all brothers who have lived and died together on the battlefield, so why should we ask for anything? If you have something to say, just say it, don't be hesitant."
"Okay!" Zhang Jian nodded and said bluntly: "Mr. Chen, Brother Ximen and I have a group of retired veterans. Each of them has been in the army for at least ten years. In addition to having a handful of strength, they have no As for other skills, many veterans who have returned home from the army cannot even afford to support their wives and children. Because they have been with Brother Ximen and me for many years and have a very deep relationship with each other, many veterans who have gone home and cannot afford to eat have come back to ask Brother Ximen and me for help. Although Brother Ximen and I can solve their immediate problem, it will not be a problem in the long run! When a veteran passed by the government office this morning, he happened to see a notice posted in the government office recruiting government officials, so he hurriedly Find me and ask me if I can intercede with the government office in the name of the military and recruit them, do you think...?"
This is really a sleepy pillow. Chen Xiaomu laughed and said: "What are you looking at? Just ask them to come over! But I want to be literate!"
''Literate! Zhang Jian was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, I have veterans number 100 here, plus brother Ximen also has number 40 or 50, they are all equal to each other in terms of skill in hands and feet." He is very fluent, but not many people are literate! Besides, who can read and be the leader? "
Chen Xiaomu pondered for a moment and asked: "Approximately how many of these more than 100 people are literate?"
"This..." Zhang Jian said vaguely: "There should be about seven or eight!"
"Ah!" Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but gasped, his face suddenly became serious, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Zhang Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, and said to himself: "Look, I'm scaring you. That's all I'm saying. In fact, maybe there are only three or four people who are literate, which is good!"
But Chen Xiaomu gritted his teeth in the end: "Okay, you can bring them all here, I will take them all. They are fighting for the country on the battlefield, and the country must not ignore them!"
"Oh, this is great!" Zhang Jian was as happy as a child, jumping up and down in the room.
"They are all waiting at the gate of the government office. I will go out and bring them in to meet the master." Zhang Jian excitedly took Ximen Song's hand and walked out.
