The county magistrate of Changshu City is called Ma Zhengcai, and he is quite knowledgeable. I used to work in Nanjing, but I don’t know why I was transferred to such a small county.
When I asked about his personality in Dragon Boat Festival, his reputation was not very good. He was a frequent visitor to the brothel, and he had also done the work of collecting money. It gives the impression that he is a corrupt official.
But I don’t know why. Duanwu asked a few people, and they all said one thing, that if they have something to do, go to the county magistrate.
This sentence sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. If you have any difficulties, go to the county magistrate.
But take a closer look and you'll find out. Since County Magistrate Ma is greedy for money and lust, why do people go to the Magistrate when they have difficulties?
That only shows that County Magistrate Ma is still capable of doing things.
Of course, as a soldier, Cheng Wanli found this kind of person very distasteful.
He cursed: "These local officials are all vampires. They don't do anything but make money to pick up women. If there is a war, they will stay behind and run faster than rabbits."
Duanwu smiled and said: "At this time, isn't this County Magistrate Ma not running away yet?"
Cheng Wanli also said strangely: "Yes, logically speaking, at this time, the local official would have already run away with his eldest wife, second aunt, and third aunt with gold and silver under his arm!"
"So people should not be judged by their appearance. Maybe our County Magistrate Ma is a good official? Hahaha!"
Duanwu smiled again, but Cheng Wanli didn't buy it. He said: I have never seen a local official who was not greedy for money and lustful. They are all the same. China will be defeated by these local officials. There is corruption at the bottom, and the top knows how to keep a high profile, so it is better not to let them go. Those who ask us to serve as soldiers can manage things better than they do.
Duanwu smiled again: "Old Cheng, you and I can't guess the result here. Let's go see Magistrate Ma and we'll talk about it then."
The two of them went hand in hand, bringing only two guards with them.
As for the others, they were allowed to rest during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because just imagine, we experienced a big battle yesterday, and we only rested for four hours when we arrived at the 39th Army headquarters, and then we set off to Changshu. Where do they have time to rest?
And especially during the Dragon Boat Festival, he didn't sleep for nearly two days.
But for soldiers in war, this is something they are used to. As long as the enemy doesn't rest, they have no time to rest.
When I was young, I came to the county office building.
The office building is a two-story building. The yard in front is more than 500 square meters, and there is a car parked.
There was a police guard at the door, but when they saw Duanwu and others approaching, they shouted, "Who are you? Stop and get checked."
Cheng Wanli scolded: "You are blind, this is the special commissioner, and you can check it if you want?"
"Sorry, sorry, we didn't receive the message. But you have to wait a moment, we have to report it first."
The police captain nodded and bowed tightly, but still had no intention of letting Duanwu and others in. Instead, he wanted to ask their county magistrate for instructions.
Cheng Wanli was just about to scold the other party a few more words and forced his way in. But he was stopped by Dragon Boat Festival.
Cheng Wanli said: "A small county magistrate, what kind of official airs does he put on?"
Duanwu said: "Old Cheng, haven't you noticed? These policemen are not afraid at all when they see soldiers. It's just like when we fight. If one soldier is frightened, the whole group will be frightened."
And the little policeman is not afraid of us, which means that County Magistrate Ma is not afraid of soldiers either. That's why his men dared to stop us. I really want to meet this person. "
"Brother Duanwu, I think you are just too spoiled to them. If it were me, Lao Cheng, I would have just led my men in. Grandma, how dare you stop me? If you make me anxious, I will tutu them all." ”
Cheng Wanli was disdainful, but Duanwu smiled and didn't answer. Because Cheng Wanli, like other soldiers, looked down on the behavior of local officials.
However, the local emperors in these places possess unexpected power.
What's more, Duanwu felt that this County Magistrate Ma was different. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a talented person.
After a while, the policeman who ran in ran out again, made an invitation gesture and said: "We have an invitation from the county magistrate."
"Hmph, you county magistrate is really a big arrogant person."
Cheng Wanli snorted angrily, but at this time, the police captain smiled and said: "Our county magistrate said that although he is the county magistrate, he is still at the regiment level. What's more, he is in the political circles, not in the Military and political control, so..."
"Okay, you county magistrate is really good."
Cheng Wanli was so angry that he was speechless and could only follow Duan Wu to the county magistrate's office.
Sitting behind the desk at this time was a middle-aged man wearing a gray suit, silver-rimmed glasses, and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
When he saw Duanwu and Cheng Wanli walking in, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Commissioner, I'm really sorry? Some people miss you from afar, and some miss you from afar."
"Are you missing the mark? You are not welcoming at all."
Cheng Wanli retorted directly, but Magistrate Nama said indifferently: "It's because these subordinates can't speak. I thought they were from the 44th Division!"
"What happened to the people of the 44th Division?"
Cheng Wanli asked back and fell directly into the opponent's pit.
For political people, every word is a trap. He won't chat with you for nothing. If you have that kind of time, you might as well pat the superior leader's horse, it's a real thing.
Therefore, Cheng Wanli, who was a soldier, couldn't tell at all. County Magistrate Ma was guiding him to ask.
Duanwu laughed on the sidelines, but at this time, County Magistrate Ma began to complain, saying: The 44th Division came and took away his official seal. Not only did they take away the county government's food, they also drove the villagers away. Changshu County, now, the entire Changshu County is in panic. As the county magistrate, he is really heartbroken!
Who did County Magistrate Ma say this to? Tell it to Dragon Boat Festival. Isn’t Dragon Boat Festival a special commissioner? Since you are the special commissioner, you have to take care of this matter. Mr. Chen is arbitrary and has messed up Changshu. How can I manage the place if you let me, a local official?
Therefore, Cheng Wanli became the butt of County Magistrate Ma, and he didn't know it, and he was still helping Magistrate Ma speak, saying to Duanwu: "That Chen Yong is indeed too much. No matter how much he says, he can't Stealing someone else's seal?"
Duanwu secretly laughed in his heart: Cheng Wanli may be a good fighter in battle, but if he engages in politics, he will be tricked to death.
But seeing Duanwu's expressionless face, County Magistrate Ma pretended to be disgusted and said: "Does the special commissioner think that Mr. Chen did the right thing? If that's the case, then we have nothing to say. My seal It’s gone, the county government is useless, why are you coming to me?”
Duanwu laughed and said: "I will help you get the seal, but you have to help me do one thing. If you do it, you will get promoted and make a fortune. If you don't do it, you will be dead!..."
