With just one glance, Wen Xiaoyun could see some of the secrets here.
As the saying goes, the official of the county government who is iron-clad and smooth. Among them, the ironclad county government does not refer to the county government building, but to the various subordinate officials and government officials inside.
Officials have a term of office, and when their term of office is up, they will leave here. However, those non-staff and subordinate officials who are not in the imperial official system do not have this restriction.
As long as you are willing to do it, you can do it for a lifetime. Therefore, the subordinate officials in every local government office are the local cowards with the most official background.
Coupled with Teng County's strong financial resources and developed commercial circulation, the lives of these old fritters entrenched in the yamen will not be too bad.
The several official residences she passed just now confirmed her guess.
Therefore, in the county government, those servants and subordinates who are associated with poverty and simplicity must be at the lowest level in the government office.
The people living in this courtyard should also be some of the lowest-level clerks who are only responsible for doing odd jobs.
Wen Xiaoyun followed Hu Dongcai slowly, guessing his motives.
Although she was not a subordinate clerk in the torture chamber, but just a clerk inside, she was the only clerk in the torture chamber, and her status in the yamen was not the lowest. According to common sense, a clerk who organizes documents and is good at writing should be worthy of a small private room.
But Hu Dongcai assigned her here, undoubtedly deliberately.
Looking at Hu Dongcai's strutting back in front of him, Wen Xiaoyun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Hu Dongcai's move undoubtedly gave her a first blow.
There are three possible reasons for targeting her like this.
The first is that Hu Dongcai is basically Yang Zhituo's minion, and this move is in response to her and Yin Nuo's "ignorant" behavior last night.
Not only was it for revenge, but it was also a beating for her and Yin Nuo.
The difficult living environment forced them to bow their heads in Teng County.
Second, Hu Dongcai did this just to establish his own prestige. So that she can obediently listen to him and listen to his instructions for some benefit in the future.
The third type is that Hu Dongcai and Yang Zhituo are originally opposites. He was well informed and knew that Yang Zhituo had hosted a banquet for himself and Yin Nuo. Hu Dongcai may not know the specific details of the banquet now, so he made things difficult for her to vent his dissatisfaction.
While thinking about it, Wen Xiaoyun had already followed Hu Dongcai up the steps of the side room on the left.
Walking to the closed wooden lattice door, Hu Dongcai's steps were slow, he raised his hand and pointed into the room, turned his face slightly, glanced at Wen Xiaoyun with his slender eyes, and said with a half-smile: "From now on, this place will be here." It is Secretary Wen’s residence. It can accommodate six people, but now only four live in it. It is very spacious. If you have any gift packages, pack them as soon as possible before lunch. In the afternoon, you will start working as usual and sort out the documents. "
Wen Xiaoyun raised his eyes and looked at the elm door leaf with a layer of oily mud stains in front of him, his expression was very serious.
Even though Yinnuo told her in advance that he would ask her to live with him, she still couldn't feel relaxed at this time.
Seeing Wen Xiaoyun's behavior, Hu Dongcai's smile suddenly faded, his lips curled up slightly, and he snorted coldly. He raised his hand to push the door open, then put his hands into his sleeves, turned around, crossed the threshold, and walked in, "I heard that Wen Shu Officer, you are from Yanzhou Prefecture."
"Hu Xingfang is right. I am coming from Yanzhou Prefecture." Wen Xiaoyun paused for a moment before walking up to follow him. Unexpectedly, he was hit in the face by a sour smell that rushed through his nose.
The unpleasant smell mixed with the warm air and heavy dampness in the room almost made people unable to hide or retreat.
She immediately shrank her neck and instinctively held her breath shut.
She didn't need to look carefully. Just from the disgusting sour smell, she could tell that the people in the dormitory basically didn't take a shower or wash their feet for a long time.
Hu Dongcai's narrow eyes moved slightly, taking in the expression of Wen Xiaoyun's facial features that were almost all wrinkled together in pain. He seemed to be very proud and said: "Shu Li Wen, you are here with the young master of the Yintui official family. I guess your relationship must be unusual, right?"
Wen Xiaoyun suppressed the turbulence in her stomach, lowered her head, tried to hold her breath, and answered briefly, "I and Yin Baotou once worked together in the Yanzhou government office. This time, I received the same transfer order, that is, We traveled together all the way.”
Hu Dongcai put his hands into his sleeves, squinted his eyes, and looked around the office environment with a half-smile, "So that's it, I thought you were very close. You need to know the reputation of Yin Tuiguan of Yanzhou Prefecture and his son. But it’s incredible.
Needless to say, Yin Tuiguan, not to mention Yanzhou Prefecture, even looking at the entire Lu region, they are among the best upright officials and masters of divine judgment. As for Mr. Yin, he is even more legendary. It stands to reason that with the status of the Yin family as officials, the children in the family will never be reduced to working as lowly government servants. It’s really puzzling. "
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun felt a chill in her heart.
She suddenly discovered that she had neglected a very important thing all this time.
