"Where are you going?" the man behind asked in a deep voice.
Wen Xiaoyun frowned slightly, turned around after hearing the sound, and a man holding a lantern suddenly came into view.
Although the sky was still dark at this time, and although the light of the pale yellow lantern was dim, Wen Xiaoyun still recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
It was Hu Dongcai whose eyes were so small that they were almost as big as the sky.
"Hu...Hu execution room?" Wen Xiaoyun turned around with an innocent face and doubtful eyes, "This subordinate is about to go to Dian Mao."
Hu Dongcai frowned, then with a cold face, he flicked his sleeves and said one sentence, then turned and walked in the opposite direction of the official's room, "Before you order your lunch, please follow me for a while."
Wen Xiaoyun's face immediately darkened, and she asked in a cold voice without even moving her feet: "Where does Hu Xingfang want to take his subordinates?"
Hu Dongcai walked struttingly without even looking back, "I want to take you to the magistrate first to say hello."
Wen Xiaoyun then lifted up his clothes and stepped forward.
In fact, she should have visited the magistrate of Teng County yesterday. Even if she was just a small clerk in the yamen, it was still a necessary process to ask the magistrate to take a look before taking office.
After walking around the hall and room, Wen Xiaoyun followed Hu Dongcai to the courtyard where the second hall was.
Just as they were about to walk into the courtyard door, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the door and stood in front of Hu Dongcai and Wen Xiaoyun.
"Uncle Fu?" Hu Dongcai was startled for a moment, then stepped back half a step, clasping his hands and saying hello to the black figure, "We have a new member of the prison cell, and we have already said hello to the adults. According to the adults' instructions, this I’ll bring someone here to see you later.”
Wen Xiaoyun felt something move in her heart.
People in the yamen gate are generally matched by their official positions, such as Yin Baotou, Hu Xingfang, Yang Jiaoyu, Wang Zhifu, Yin Tuiguan, etc.
Unless you meet someone with a particularly low position, such as a handyman, the higher-level official will call him by his name.
As for the person in front of him, Hu Dongcai did not address his position directly, which meant that his position should be very low. However, he used the honorific title, which showed that the other party's identity was unusual.
It stands to reason that in a county government office, after excluding the four highest-ranking officials, namely the county magistrate, county magistrate, dianshi, and jiaoyu, the only ones left with the most status and power are the subordinate officials in the third class and sixth floor.
In particular, the arrogant Hu Dongcai was given such an honorific title, which further proved that the other party's identity was extraordinary.
Just by looking at the movement and position of the black figure, Wen Xiaoyun could guess the approximate identity of the other party.
Definitely a close servant of the County Magistrate.
Compared to Hu Dongcai's respectful and polite attitude, the attitude of the man known as Mr. Fu was much colder.
He ignored Hu Dongcai's words, but raised the lantern in his hand, took a photo of Wen Xiaoyun, and said impatiently, "This person's outfit is not in compliance with the rules. Has he really joined the job?"
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were slightly cold. How could the other party's attitude be worse than that of Hu Dongcai?
Is it the King of Hell who wants to find trouble with the devil, or is this simply what the county magistrate himself meant?
Hu Dongcai was stunned after hearing Old Man Fu's words. As the lantern in Old Man Fu's hand shone in the direction, he looked back at Wen Xiaoyun. His two small eyes, which were squinted into a thread, immediately opened as if he had realized something. He quickly laughed at himself and said, "It's all because of my carelessness. I should have given out toothpastes when I joined the company yesterday, but I didn't expect that I forgot about them as soon as I was delayed."
As he spoke, Hu Dongcai took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Xiaoyun.
Looking at the heavy rectangular wooden sign in his hand, the corner of Wen Xiaoyun's mouth suddenly twitched.
