Seeing that the angry young men were gone, Zhao Feng shook his head and pulled out the crossbow arrows he had shot.
Zhao Feng put the crossbow arrows away again and couldn't help but think about what those people just said.
Because I was in a hurry to buy a house, I forgot to ask if there was any lawsuit involved in this house. I didn't expect that something like this happened.
But Zhao Feng is not worried. Even if Old Man Li owes money before, it has nothing to do with his purchase of this house.
The money and deed were clear, and the house was already his, Zhao Feng's. Even if the previous owner of the house really owed money, it would have nothing to do with him.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Feng quickly tidied up the house, and then packed up his luggage, placing bedding and the like where they should be.
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng got up early and came to the government office. This time, the government servant who was responsible for guarding the gate of the government office knew Zhao Feng and greeted Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Good morning, Master Zhao. I didn't expect you to come so early on your first day in office!"
Zhao Feng also bowed his hands with them, smiled, took out a small piece of silver, and put it into the yamen servant's hand with surprise in his eyes.
"I will inevitably have to take care of you from now on. Use these two taels of silver to treat your brothers to drinks!"
The government officials looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Zhao Feng would give them money for drinks on the first day he took office. Just a simple gesture made their impression of Zhao Feng much better.
Zhao Feng knew that although he was personally promoted by the prefect Yu Ruhai, he was still alone in this government office, and there was no one who could help him speak.
So when he first came here, he should make as many friends as possible. Only in this way could Zhao Feng know some of the secrets in this government office, so that he wouldn't know what to do when things got worse.
"In this case, I would like to thank Master on behalf of the brothers!"
"Master, please come in. One day my brothers will treat you to a drink of Jie Feng Wine!"
Zhao Feng smiled and greeted them one by one, then walked directly into the government office.
This yamen is divided into a front hall and a back bedroom. Entering the gate is a fairly spacious courtyard, with some killing sticks and signs of silence and avoidance erected on both sides.
The court hall of the government office is located directly opposite the gate, about ten steps away, and the space inside the court hall is not small. There is a floor paved with bluestones, with many killing sticks placed on both sides. There is a desk with some imperial arrows, gavel wood and pens and ink of the emperor on it.
Behind the table is a mural painted on the wall, with some landscapes and scenery painted on it. Above the mural is a plaque with the four characters "upright and bright" written on it!
After seeing the layout of the government office, Zhao Feng smiled and nodded. Unexpectedly, it looked similar to what he had seen on TV before.
After all, the prefect can be regarded as the position of a mayor in later generations. This is an important place where the prefect usually handles official documents and interrogates cases, so it is naturally very solemn.
Behind the court is a separate room, connected to the court through two small doors. This is the so-called back hall.
Generally, when something happens, the prefect will move the relevant witnesses to the back and interrogate them separately, thus avoiding the possibility of collusion between them.
At the same time, this is also a place for Chengfu and Master to communicate with each other. After all, they can't blatantly whisper in court, right?
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw a chair in the back hall. It seemed that this was probably prepared for him.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Yu Ruhai walking in wearing an official uniform. Seeing that Zhao Feng had already arrived, Yu Ruhai said to Zhao Feng in surprise.
"Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect you to come so early!"
"Have you found a place to stay?"
Zhao Feng nodded with a smile and said to Yu Ruhai.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I have found a house and spent the night there last night."
Hearing this, Yu Ruhai couldn't help laughing and said to Zhao Feng.
"In this case, I will definitely visit you in person someday!"
Zhao Feng quickly handed over his hand, while Yu Ruhai said to Zhao Feng.
"I originally wanted you to take a good rest for a few days. After all, there are not so many things to do now."
"But since you have taken office now, I will ask a yamen servant to take you around the city and introduce you to it."
Zhao Feng nodded happily. When he came to Fucheng yesterday, he only took a quick look around and did not observe the situation in Fucheng in detail.
If someone could give him a good introduction and take him around the city, it would also give Zhao Feng a better understanding of the entire city, which would definitely facilitate things in the future.
When Yu Ruhai saw Zhao Feng agreeing, he smiled slightly and shouted directly outside. Soon a government servant walked in.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Yu Ruhai nodded, pointed at the yamen servant and introduced him to Zhao Feng.
"This yamen servant's name is Xu Lin. We usually call him Xiao Linzi. He is also quite clever. Let him take you around!"
Zhao Feng nodded and said hello to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin suddenly said happily.
"Sir, is this the new master who just came to the government office?"
"This master is a good person at first sight. From now on, you will have a reliable person to discuss things with!"
Yu Ruhai couldn't help but chuckle, waved his hand and said.
"Okay, you first take Master to go around the city."
"By the way, I'll give Master a good introduction to some things in the government office."
Xu Lin nodded quickly and walked out with Zhao Feng.
As soon as I walked to the door of the government office, I saw Liu Cang, who was very drunk yesterday, leading a few people to the door of the government office and walking angrily inside.
Zhao Feng frowned immediately, and Xu Lin quickly pulled Zhao Feng to the side and spoke to Zhao Feng in a low voice.
"Master, in the entire government office, even if you offend the prefect, there won't be any big problems, but this is the only one you can't offend, Official Liu!"
Zhao Feng was suddenly surprised and asked Xu Lin.
"Why? Isn't this Liu Cang just a ninth-grade official responsible for managing the treasury?"
"Logically speaking, he is a subordinate of the prefect, but looking at them now, why do they seem to have the intention of launching an attack?"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Xu Lin quickly looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he quickly pulled Zhao Feng aside and sighed deeply.
