In a small courtyard behind the county government office, County Lieutenant Gao Keji held a pen in his right hand and a fist in his left hand, and was pacing anxiously. Ever since Zhang Wenyuan was fired due to personal style issues, he had to deal with all kinds of trivial matters these days. . How can he handle these things if he can't even recognize his words? So the past few days have been like a year.
Thinking of Zhang Wenyuan's goodness and Zhang Wenyuan's misery, Gao Keji was so angry that he banged the table, "Hey... this little Zhang San, how many times have I told him to control his lower body, but he has turned a deaf ear to it. Now that I have been framed and lost my job, even I am embarrassed, I really don’t deserve to be a son of a human being, I don’t deserve to be a son of a human being!”
Liang Kun, the bodyguard who was waiting for him, heard his complaints outside and muttered in his heart, "Huh... Xiao Zhang San can't control his lower body, can you control it? He has a romantic nature, and you can't control it?" Gambling and whoring, you guys are on the wrong side and the bottom is crooked, if the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, no one is better than the other!"
However, he is not a good person. He is Gao Keji's brother-in-law and he is quite clever. Gao Keji was able to get in touch with Gao Qiu because of his strategy. Therefore, when he took office in Yuncheng, he took him with him and asked him to help him. Run errands, do odd jobs, and do things that cannot be known to outsiders. And because of this, he regarded himself as the spokesperson of the county captain, and gained a lot of benefits by using his hands both inside and outside.
It can be said bluntly that the three of them are all the same, and none of them can stand on the stage.
After he finished complaining, Liang Kun came in carefully to report, "Brother-in-law... Mr. Xiao sent a message, asking you to go to his house for a banquet after your shift!"
Gao Keji knew Xiao Qian's purpose. He had asked Zhu Tong to send a message the day before yesterday, saying that he had a young brother named Xiao Rang. He was a scholar. Not only was he good at writing, he was also very familiar with the laws and proceedings of the Song Dynasty. Now that there is a vacancy in the custody of the county government, can he be asked to take over the job?
Gao Keji later understood Xiao Qian's purpose of suppressing Zhang Wenyuan that day. Thinking of this, he felt a little unhappy. He snorted heavily and said, "I am busy now. How can I have time to drink." I agree with what I said the day before yesterday. Let Xiao Rang come over and start with the swordsman and pen clerk. As for the position left vacant by Zhang San, let’s take over according to rank!”
The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was very particular about seniority. Both officials and officials had their own set of promotion standards. It took Song Jiang more than ten years before he was qualified to play chess and drink tea with the county magistrate. If Zhang Wenyuan hadn't been appreciated by him, he would still be in the second half of the Eight Great Escorts, and it would be at least ten years before he could reach his current position.
Even if Xiao Rang has the reputation of being a scholar and even if he is recommended by the chief registrar, Xiao Qian has completely offended Gao Keji. Even if he is a big boss, he will never allow such a thing to happen. Letting him in is already a huge concession. .
Seeing that he was so selfless, Liang Kun said hesitantly, "Brother-in-law, I have something I don't know whether to say or not!"
Gao Ke scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you have something to say, of course you have to say it, and if you have farts, you have to let it go, otherwise you won't be able to hold it in!"
Liang Kun felt relieved after being scolded by him, and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother-in-law, I would like to ask, are you not afraid of offending his younger brother by arranging it like this? He controls the money and food of the county, and we have seven subordinates." People on the 80th still expect him to pay their salary, aren't they afraid that he will set up a card on their money?"
Gao Keji snorted, "I'm afraid of a fool! These bastards can't even catch Chao Gai, causing me to lose face in front of the great master. I should suspend their pay for half a year, so as to relieve my heart." Hate!"
Last year, I went to Dongxi Village to arrest Chao Gai's group who robbed the birthday card. Liang Kun was a witness. The arrest was originally a sure shot, but it turned out to be full of loopholes. Chao Gai and his group escaped. After Gao Keji came back, he was scolded by the county magistrate. My head is so bloody that I still can’t lift my head up until now.
But this matter has nothing to do with Master Xiao. Why should he get angry at him?
Liang Kun didn't know the inside story and couldn't persuade him anymore. Since his brother-in-law didn't give Master Xiao the face, he couldn't say anything and had to retreat quietly.
Gao Keji handled a few more government affairs, and Liang Kun came in again to report, "Master, Zhang San is asking for a meeting outside, saying that he has something confidential to tell me."
Gao Keji was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "He knows how to play this trick. Master, I won't be fooled by him. Go and tell him, Master, my anger has not gone away. I don't want to see him now. Where can I ask him to come and go?" Where to go? When I want to see him one day, I will tell him to come and see him!"
Liang Kun responded and came in again not long after, holding a wine jar in his hand, he chuckled and said, "Master, Zhang San brought this, saying he is filial to you!"
Gao Keji had already smelled the strong aroma of wine, so he took it and couldn't wait to open the seal. A stronger aroma of wine hit his nostrils, making him drowsy, "Ah... what a fragrant wine!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, and then coughed violently, "Ah... cough... hey..."
Liang Kun hurriedly stepped forward and took the wine jar from his hand. While stroking his back, he asked with concern, "Brother-in-law... you, are you okay?"
Gao Ke calmed down after a long while, pointed at the jar of wine, and said in surprise, "Oh... this wine is so strong, even I can't control it!"
Liang Kun wanted to take a sip, but he didn't dare to ask for it, so he had to accept it cautiously.
Gao Keji was addicted to alcohol. Although he was choked, he still didn't give up. After breathing evenly, he grabbed the wine jar again. This time he didn't dare to be as bold as last time, but took a cautious sip. The wine was slowly swallowed into his stomach, and he felt that his whole chest was as uncomfortable as if it was on fire. But after the discomfort was over, he shouted again, "It's really good wine. Where is little Zhang San? Let him in quickly, this kid You still have some conscience, and you still know how to honor me when you have good things!"
Liang Kun said hurriedly, "I'll go and invite him right away!"
Zhang Wenyuan followed Liang Kun to Gao Keji's detention room. When he saw his face that was redder than Guan Gong, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Enxiang, how much have you drunk?"
Gao Keji was already a little drunk. When he saw him, he patted his shoulder and asked, "Ah... you kid! You're here. Does your butt still hurt?"
Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly replied, "Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Gao Keji held the wine jar and sat down on the chair. He looked at him coldly for a while and said, "You kid... can't sit still at home? Master, let me tell you, if you want to come back now, that's not right." It’s possible, don’t even think about it!”
Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly explained, "Ah... Enxiang, you may be mistaken. The villain didn't want to come back! Thanks to you, the old man, who helped alleviate the villain's guilt that day, the villain was not beaten to death. I am here to express my gratitude today. of!"
"Hmph, you naughty bitch, you've failed me in my high hopes!" Hearing him mention this, Gao Keji got angry, took a sip of wine, and hummed, "I heard you've become more capable, in college. One person in the prison knocked down seven or eight prisoners! Come on, let's show off, I want to see what you are capable of!"
Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly waved his hands to refuse, "Hey, Enxiang is a noble person. Even if a villain has 10,000 courage, he would not dare to do anything to you. Let's talk about serious matters, right?"
Gao Keji snorted, "That's right, you just said you had something confidential to discuss. What kind of confidential matter is it?"
Zhang Wenyuan smiled and said, "It's no big deal. I'm here mainly to thank you for your help. By the way, I want to talk about some confidential things. If you have free time, you can also talk about making a fortune. I can't do that now." After working in the yamen, I have no choice but to do business!"
The amount of information in this paragraph is a bit large, and Gao Keji only grasped the first point, "Why don't you tell me something confidential first?"
Zhang Wenyuan glanced at Liang Kun and said with a smile, "Brother Liang, please stay away for a while!"
Gao Ke cursed, "Scholars have too much trouble," then waved to Liang Kun and shouted, "Go and guard outside. If he can't tell you that he's ugly, I'll ask you to come in and deal with him!"
Liang Kun laughed a few times and gestured to Zhang Wenyuan with his fist, "Xiao Zhang San, you have to be careful, my master is not a vegetarian with my fists!"
Zhang Wenyuan and Liang Kun are similar in age and often play together. Seeing him looking at his butt, he chuckled and said, "Hehe... you want to take this opportunity to retaliate against me, that's impossible!"
