When new and old county magistrates alternate, there is usually a banquet, followed by mutual praise among the literati.
As for the handover, that’s just incidental!
Of course, this handover cannot be completed in a day or two. The grain depot, military depot, money and accounts need to be inspected.
During this handover process, you need to get to know the heads of each department and get to know them.
For example, the scribes in the sixth room of the yamen, as well as the soldiers, arresters, and prison chiefs in the third class of yamen.
"Are you Zuo Yun, the deputy chief in charge of Minzhuang?"
In the yamen, the newly arrived county magistrate and his entourage, a staff officer who took office, were eating hot pot over a small charcoal stove.
"After eating pickles and rolled tofu, the emperor is not as good as me..."
The master on the side skillfully separated the tofu with a knife and carefully put it into the casserole with pickles.
The new county magistrate, who was watching from the sidelines, took a sip of wine and sang in a low voice.
At this time, Chen Yun walked in, and the new county magistrate asked what he just said.
"Go back to the county, your subordinate is the one!"
Chen Yun didn't know what the new county magistrate wanted him to do. Although he was working under others, it didn't stop him from being humble or overbearing.
It was precisely because of his neither humbleness nor arrogance that the new county magistrate felt a little unhappy with him.
"Deputy Zuo, I heard that you are in charge of the prison gate and supernatural things?
The prison door is just that, but this magical thing...
I have read the books of sages for a long time, and I am well aware of the great meanings contained in them. The sages of ancient times all said to respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance.
It can be seen that the so-called ghosts and gods, monsters and monsters are nothing more than flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
Therefore, what I want to ask is, is it really a monster you met?
Looking at the written records, you have also killed many monsters!
But looking at the copywriting record, the more I look at it, the more fake it seems!
The snake demon has been around for more than three hundred years, and the tiger demon has been around for thousands of years.
How could these hundreds of thousands of monsters die in your hands?
Could it be that you collaborated with others to deceive the former county magistrate to obtain the position of deputy chief? "
This call was made directly to Chen Yun, and he almost didn't react. Is it so direct?
He looked at the new county magistrate with some surprise in front of the small red clay stove, holding chopsticks to pick out pickles and tofu in the casserole. He looked at the other person's face with a confident look on his face, and understood!
These are the three things a new official should do when he takes office!
It is to establish prestige and is also the first step to install cronies.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, every new county magistrate cannot just come with his family.
In that case, there is a high probability that someone will intercept him halfway.
The most important thing is that it is possible for someone to pretend to be an official in his place. In my own world, haven’t there been many such people in history?
Therefore, these officials will bring their cronies with them to protect their personnel when they take office.
If you don't have your own manpower and rashly go to a new place to take up the post, it will definitely result in the local people being left alone.
Therefore, when a newly appointed county magistrate goes to a place, he must first bring his own staff and his own personnel to carry weapons.
It must be inserted.
Formal officials like the Chief Secretary, if they are placed in many county yamen, most of them are ninth-grade officials.
Even if a ninth-grade official is a new county magistrate, it is impossible for him to move, and it is not something that ordinary people can be. Most of the front-line leaders are relatively powerful people in the local area.
Therefore, a new county magistrate must first establish himself and have an insertion point.
People like Mr. Li, Mr. Luo Dutou, and Mr. Lao Diao, the prison chief, have been working in the county government for generations.
It's a family tradition, it can be said to be deep-rooted.
This is not something that a new county magistrate can do, but the manpower brought by the new county magistrate must be deployed, otherwise his position will be vacated.
In the entire yamen, apart from the scribes, Chen Yun was the only one who had no foothold in the county seat.
This should be the result of the new county magistrate's thinking. After much deliberation, it seemed that Chen Yun was a related household who was suddenly promoted by the previous county magistrate to eat the royal food.
The most important thing is that Chen Yun is in the right position, and the deputy head of the capital who is in charge of the people and soldiers is not a lowly person, so this position is just right.
Therefore, Chen Yun, a relative of the former county magistrate, was not taken away by the former county magistrate. He must have been abandoned.
A person who has no roots, no family influence in the local area, and was abandoned by the previous county magistrate but not taken away, can just be used to establish his authority!
Chen Yun chuckled and cupped his hands slightly: "Since the new county magistrate no longer needs me, Zuo Yun, to deal with the strange power and chaos.
Then if I stay in the county government office, I will be the annoying kind!
Now, I will resign from my position as deputy chief and go back to do some small business!
What does the county magistrate think? "
The new county magistrate ate a piece of tofu, took another sip of wine, shook his head and sighed: "Deputy Zuo, I am not targeting you specifically.
Judging from what you are saying, I guess you have read a book. You should know that the sage once said: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them.
How can a dignified county government office and imperial court officials violate the teachings of the literary sage!
Therefore, I accept your resignation! "
Chen Yun slightly cupped his hands, then turned around and left. Before he could go out, he heard the chuckle of the master of staff behind him.
They thought they were far enough away that Chen Yun couldn't hear, but they didn't know that Chen Yun's ears were extremely sensitive and they could still hear even if they suppressed the sound.
“Congratulations to the county magistrate, for finally taking the first step after arriving in Guobei County!
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you take the first step, the rest will become much easier! "
"What does this mean? If you keep worrying about it, how should we go next?
How can you make a fortune in office if you don't win enough key positions?
After all, if we buy this seventh-grade official, we will waste a lot of money and lose half of our entire property!
You have to earn it back! "
"That is……"
When Chen Yun walked out of the door, he chuckled twice. He was actually a bought official!
"Brother Zuo, where are you going?
It’s not time to go down yet! "
He bumped into Capt. Li head-on. Judging from Capt. Li's direction, he should be looking for the new county magistrate.
"There is no need to wait for the next duty, our deputy chief has been taken back by the new county magistrate!
It can be said that now, my brother, I am without an official position and I am light-hearted!
gone!
Come to my house for a drink when you have time! "
After saying that, Chen Yun walked away.
He walked very fast. Capt. Li was stunned by these words. After realizing what happened, when he wanted to stop him, there was no trace of him on the street.
Capt. Li knew something big was going on. Instead of looking for the new county magistrate to report the matter, Capt. Li immediately found Luo Dutou.
"Luo Dutou, something big happened!"
As soon as he arrived at Luo Dutou early in the morning, Li Captou said angrily, and he was a little angry.
Looking at his angry look, this is rare for Li Shanchang. It must be a big deal to make him lose his sense.
So Luo Dutou quickly stood up and took the knife: "What happened?
But there is a big thief, and you don’t have enough people to catch him? "
Capt. Li grimaced: "This is more serious than a big thief!
Our new county magistrate wanted to deploy some people. Looking around, only Brother Zuo didn't follow, so he was taken down.
It should be that he wanted to place his guard into the Minzhuang class!
Fight for your rights and develop your own team! "
Upon hearing this, Luo Dutou's expression changed drastically: "It doesn't matter whether we fight for power or not. We are natives of this township. The term of the county magistrate is only a few years, and the maximum term is ten years!
But this left brother can’t say goodbye!
Recently, there have been more and more strange things happening with ghosts and ghosts!
More than a dozen people have died in Linxian County. Here, everyone can live well, and it’s not because of the help of Deputy Dutou Zuo and the old man!
no!
We have to go and talk about it. We must not offend Brother Zuo. We have all eaten his tiger meat and deserved his kindness! "
Capt. Li nodded, thinking to himself, we still have to live up to the life span he gave us!
For this reason, he couldn't let the left deputy suffer such grievances.
Together they found the county magistrate who had just eaten and drank enough, and bowed their hands in greeting: "I have met the county magistrate!"
The new county magistrate was already drunk. He squinted his eyes, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked, "You two came to see me together. What do you mean?"
Mr. Li took a step forward, held his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Your Majesty, you have resigned the left deputy chief, so we and I have to come to you to plead for mercy.
The county magistrate, the left deputy chief cannot resign! "
The new county magistrate glanced at Capt. Li, then looked at Luo Dutou, and asked, "Do you think so too?"
Luo Du nodded forward and said: "Back to the county, this is how I think of my humble position!
We had encountered monsters many times before, and it was only the deputy left who fought them hard that saved us.
Who is working as an errand in the county government but is not grateful for the kindness of Deputy Zuo Dutou?
The county magistrate fired the left deputy chief in such an inexplicable way, I'm afraid it will break everyone's heart! "
The staff master who stood silently aside sneered: "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to survive in the hands of the monster. Is Zuo Yun still capable of fighting the monster?
Luo Dutou, are you telling a joke to the county magistrate?
Only the human heart is the scariest thing in this world. As for monsters and monsters, they are just a fantasy novel!
If you try to fool the county magistrate with this strange power and chaos, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive! "
The county magistrate also snorted: "Okay, I know you are colleagues, but I can't see the sand in my eyes!
There may be monsters and monsters in this world, but it is impossible for so many miraculous things to happen in one county in just two months!
This is obviously a story!
If the former county magistrate didn't let it go on purpose, then he was also deceived by you and others!
However, my official, Tian Wenliang, is not so easy to fool! "
Upon hearing the words of the new county magistrate Tian Wenliang, Li Captou and Luo Dutou felt a little embarrassed. Although they were local gangsters, the county magistrate Tian Wenliang was also a powerful dragon!
For local snakes, they always have to leave if they cross the river to make a strong dragon, and they, the local leaders, have absolutely no chance to leave.
In this case, under normal circumstances, you will not confront the county magistrate. You will usually follow him and fool him. After a few years, when he leaves, it will naturally be like this.
Unless the county magistrate goes too far, he will be ignored by the local forces, or the county magistrate suppresses the local forces.
For example, now, the county magistrate has gone too far.
For the yamen servants, they just want to earn money in peace, and no one wants to risk their lives for a few hundred pennies a month.
But the work they do is quite dangerous. After all, there are rumors that there are more and more monsters.
What have they been dealing with these days?
A demon who can turn children and women into animals.
It can make a person grow another head, and use this head to replace the original head, seizing control of the body and completely turning it into a matter of that person's body.
They also saw the skin and meat of the thousand-year-old tiger demon. Almost everyone among them had eaten the meat of the thousand-year tiger demon!
I have also seen people who can turn into bats and fly, and I also know that those bat monsters are afraid of the sun and silverware.
All of this, if it were not for the left deputy Dutou, their casualties would have been heavy.
If they insist on saying what Zuo Fudutou is in their hearts, then they may tell others that in this short period of time, Zuo Fudutou has become a Dinghai Shenzhen in their minds.
With him here, there are no surprises!
Therefore, Capt. Li and Luo Dutou knew what position Deputy Dutou Zuo held in the hearts of these government officials.
So I decided to try my best to persuade him.
Although the county magistrate wanted to make three things happen when he took office, he had to give in and compromise a little when faced with local gangsters.
"You all say that he is capable, and you all say that there are monsters and monsters in this world. Before my vacancy, I had been in the capital for decades and I had never seen any monsters!
Although there are legends in various places, they are just rumors!
If you want to convince others, if you want to persuade me to recognize Deputy Zuo Dutou's function of specializing in supernatural cases, there is no way! "
Li Captou cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions from the county!"
The county magistrate Tian Wenliang chuckled: "It's very simple!
Since you say that his position is irreplaceable, miraculous things do exist.
Since you insist so much, it’s hard for me to refute your face.
Now I will give you a chance. As long as you can prove that there are indeed demons and ghosts in this world, then I will personally come to your door to invite the left deputy head back and restore him to his original position!
how?
Can you do it? "
Li Captou's eyes lit up, and he looked directly at Luo Dutou with a smile on his face.
Then he handed it over again: "Your Majesty, this matter is very simple. There is a marriage letter in the warehouse, which can only be seen in the county government office. This is a ghost marriage letter.
You can order someone to take it out from the warehouse and you will know at a glance! "
This marriage letter was the prop he used when he tested Chen Yun.
It is said to be the ghost bride's marriage certificate, but there is a blank space after the groom's name, but the bride's name is written there.
The new county magistrate Tian Wenliang quickly took the box from the warehouse and opened it to take a look.
Sure enough, there was a red marriage certificate.
"Is this the ghost marriage certificate?"
The county magistrate Tian Wenliang took it out and looked at it from left to right. It was just an ordinary marriage document!
What's so strange?
I didn’t see anything wrong!
It's the bride's name, which is a bit strange. There is no surname, only two words.
"Awu".
Li Captou said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a ghost marriage certificate.
Every time this marriage book appears, whose name appears in front of whomever it is, will appear where the man's name is.
Become the groom!
Everyone who becomes a groom will disappear that night!
Therefore, it must be packed in a wooden box that has been banned by experts! "
