While Gu Xiaowu was chattering, the two of them walked up and down the city wall until dawn. Although they worked the night shift, they did not take any time off. Pang Yu worked the night shift in Dongzuomen and his family lived in Ximen.
, I didn’t even have time to go home, and I didn’t even meet the female secretary, so I went to work in the Yamen in disgrace.
When I met He Xianya outside the eight-character wall, He Xianya seemed to be in low spirits. He was probably knocked out of his mind by yesterday's slap.
Seeing the red and swollen patches on his face, He Xianya pulled him over and asked him the reason. When Pang Yu told him what happened last night, He Xianya's eyes were red and swollen and he whispered in a low voice: "Since I have offended Wang Dazhuang's brother-in-law, in the past two days, you
But be careful, don't let anything happen to Wang Dazhuang. After a few days, Wang Dazhuang's anger is over, and ask someone to make peace. When you should bow your head, you must bow your head, and it is always better to reconcile with the class leader."
Pang Yuyang raised his head and said nonchalantly, "It's just a few mosquito bites. If Wang Dazhuang only has this ability, then this kind of thing is not worth bowing to, so now I have a small goal."
He Xianya looked at Pang Yu in surprise, "Second brother, what goals do you have?"
"I also want to be a class leader. Then we will see what Wang Dazhuang can do to me."
He Xianya looked at Pang Yu's leaving figure and shook his head. He decided in his heart that his idiot second brother had something to wear this time.
Today's morning meeting was relatively simple. There was no announcement or comparison of money and food. After the county magistrate used the stick yesterday, he handed out carrots. He knew that his position would only last for ten days at most, so he only held the morning meeting and then distributed the money.
Each house benefited from the affairs of each house and praised the county magistrate a lot.
Pang Yu somewhat admired the county magistrate's methods, but the dividends from the county magistrate's faction did not fall on Pang Yu, because he had always been a stupid image in the yamen. Except for Jiao Guozhao, not many people wanted to talk to him.
He, the county magistrate didn't even know his name, because the county government was actually very large, and there were quite a few government officials in the third class.
Tongcheng County has a total of forty-seven miles under its jurisdiction. The organization is neither large nor small. The largest number of people in the yamen are the three classes of yamen, namely Zaoban, Kuaiban and Zhuangban.
The Kuaiban was divided into Ma Kuai and Bu Kuai. They used to deliver messages and orders, but later they became patrolling the city and making arrests, similar to the police in later generations.
The Zhuang Ban guards the security in the county and is often called the Yamen. Tongcheng has been peaceful for many years. The Zhuang Ban has an establishment of 192 people, but there are only 20 or 30 people currently on staff.
The Zaoban that Pang Yu belongs to is responsible for the operation of the county government, that is, the work staff. Their main duties are to do the internal work of the county government. The magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief officials all have several Zaobao services. In the six rooms, in addition to the clerks and clerks,
Officials are also assigned some handymen.
In actual operation, the responsibilities of the three shifts were often unclear. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, each place assigned them by themselves. Some places were divided by function, and some were divided by section. Most leaders would not care so much about who they thought was suitable.
Arrange who does what.
Since Pang Yu was a bit stupid in the past, he was not asked to do anything in each room, so he had been waiting in the Zao Ban to do some chores. There were about ten other people like him in the Zao Ban, and these people were around him every day.
I transferred to the next shift in order to get some good jobs. Of course, I had to show my respect to Wang Dazhuang when I came back.
Although there is not a lot of money for labor and food in the yamen, there is a lot of gray income.
Especially after the reform of the one-piece whip law, even talented students who had no hope of taking the imperial examinations came in to support their families. This shows that the income of officials and government servants is also relatively considerable.
Sadly, Pang Yu has now offended Wang Dazhuang's brother-in-law, let alone a good job. Wang Dazhuang also prepared a wealth of shoes for him.
Although I have a small goal, I still need to be careful at the moment. Last night's vigil can only be regarded as an appetizer. I don't know what strange things are waiting for me today.
After the morning class ended, Pang Yu stood there in a daze, staring at the ground blankly. Gu Xiaowu thought that Pang Yu was afraid of returning to the soap class, so he kept waiting.
After everyone had dispersed, Pang Yu ended his daze and walked out of Yimen with Gu Xiaowu, a fellow sufferer.
At this time, outside the Zaoli room on the west side of Yimen, most of the Zaoli staff had already arrived, waiting for Wang Dazhuang to arrange the affairs of the day.
Wang Dazhuang is just like his name. He is tall and has a beard around his chin.
His brother-in-law Zhang Daiwen was also waiting beside him, waiting to see the touching scene of Pang Yu wearing small shoes.
Last night's leader Zaoli Chaofeng had just reported last night's situation to Wang Dazhuang. When he talked about how the two people were bitten by mosquitoes and insects all night, Wang Dazhuang burst out laughing.
A skinny little Zaoli next to him said flatteringly to Wang Dazhuang: "That fool dared to offend my brother-in-law, but he didn't take our squad leader seriously."
Several other Zaoli also came around, "Don't worry, squad leader, we brothers will give him a good look without you having to do anything."
Wang Dazhuang waved his hand and waited for a few people to be quiet before saying, "Why do you need to take action? The barracks just happened to be patrolling the shops, and they still lacked some manpower. I want Pang Ersi to patrol all the shops in the county, and then patrol the ferry after that.
When you come back, go watch the city gate for me every night... No, go and patrol the streets! Hahaha!"
Brother-in-law Zhang Daiwen was very excited when he heard this. He was the one who had the deepest hatred against Fool Pang here. Pang Yu's attack that day had spread in a small area of the yamen, which made him feel that he had lost face. He must make up for it today.
"Brother-in-law is wise."
"Come on, the class leader, he's such a fat fool."
"A fool dares to take a female helper. Once he is driven away and the female helper is taken over, the team leader will have to groom her."
A few people were talking happily when they saw Pang Ersha and Gu Xiaowu coming out of Yimen. Wang Dazhuang nodded to a few people and smiled secretly.
After the Zaoban team had gathered together, Wang Dazhuang came up to hold a morning meeting. He scanned around the Zaoban staff and glared at Pang Yu when he passed by.
Wang Dazhuang cleared his throat and said, "Before I talk about today's errands, let me tell you a few words about what happened yesterday. Everyone saw it. It's just that the morning meeting was late yesterday and things were very messy, so I didn't have time to explain to everyone.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words to you all today.
Yesterday, I slapped a lot of people, including those in our soap class. Some people were whispering behind their backs, wondering if the county magistrate was avenging his personal revenge. Bah! I tell you, you can’t even think about it. The county magistrate was born in the imperial examination. How could it be?
If anyone who knows how to do this kind of thing is heard talking nonsense behind his back, I will kick him to death."
Wang Dazhuang was standing in line on his own. Just as the officials were about to join in, they suddenly saw a man jumping out of the line with lightning speed and shouting loudly.
"Who is so heartless?
What does avenging private revenge mean? It is a sin to even think about it.
The county magistrate acted impartially. You can tell me which of the decisions were not justified and whether any of them were wrong. I can't tell you. I feel so convinced.
Not to mention yesterday, there was no time during the weekdays when the county magistrate did not endure hardship before enjoying life, and worried about the people of Tongcheng. He was a conscientious and hard-working person in his office. He often had to go to the government office to handle official business until midnight, and even stayed up all night.
How much is the salary of a county magistrate? It is only six stones and six buckets. Is it worth the effort?
People who gossip behind your back, do you have even a little bit of conscience? You are still human beings... ugh..." Pang Yu lowered his head while crying, covered his face with his sleeves, spit into the palm of his hand, and wiped it on his face.
When his sleeves were put down, his face had become moist, and Pang Yu's exaggerated crying sounded very emotional. The only drawback was that there were some bubbles in the saliva, which were not broken for a while, and they didn't look like tears when they hung on his face.
It's more like snot, but who dares to come up and accuse him of fake crying at this time.
A group of Zaoli led by Wang Dazhuang were stunned. Pang Ersi, who usually couldn't speak a few eloquent words, could actually flatter Shangguan in a long and eloquent speech today.
Because the location of the Zaoli room is on the left side of the corridor outside Yimen, opposite is the Kuaishou room, and on the right front is the gate of the county government office. The corridor is the entrance and exit passage of the county government office. There are many people coming and going, so Pang Yu spoke loudly.
, immediately attracted many onlookers from other departments, and even people near the eight-character wall came in to watch the fun.
Seeing that the audience had increased and the momentum had been good, Pang Yu waved his arms excitedly, "In the past three years, Tongcheng has enjoyed good weather, good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and has repeatedly won awards from Anqing Prefecture and Nanzhili. This is all inseparable from the efforts of the county magistrate.
.
But as for the county magistrate himself, he eats grain rice, wears homespun clothes, mends his socks when they are torn, and is reluctant to throw them away. He is so miserable. Doesn’t he know how to make money?
No! It’s because you have read the books of sages and regarded integrity as the principle of being an official. The people of Tongcheng are blessed.
Your parents are still in your hometown and cannot be present to fulfill your filial piety, but you have left your hometown and come to Tongcheng for three years. A foreigner, without any selfish motives, regards the livelihood of the people of Tongcheng as his own career. What kind of spirit is this..." Pang
Yu spoke eloquently and non-stop for half a quarter of an hour, shaping the county magistrate into an upright and good official with outstanding political achievements. At this delicate moment of standing in line, no one from the Zaoban cadres and the masses dared to interrupt.
he.
"Dear officers and colleagues, many people call me a fool on weekdays because I can't say a few words at all. But why can I say so many words today? Because what I say is from my heart and is fair.
, Say it a thousand times, whoever dares to be disrespectful to the county magistrate, I, Pang Yu, will definitely be the first..." Pang Yu combined a downward slashing action with his arm and roared sonorously, "It's his grandma's fault!"
The onlookers burst into laughter. It seemed that Pang Yu was somewhere between stupid and enlightened.
Pang Yu kept raising his hands to the smiling people around him. He just suddenly remembered to add such a curse word. This fool's identity seemed to have some effect, because as a modern person, Pang Yu didn't understand many things at this time, and he often caused trouble.
People are surprised, even if they have the identity of a fool, they can understand.
"well said!"
"That makes sense, we all have to be like Pang Ersi."
"Both fools are enlightened."
The county government staff who listened to the speech cheered together and took the opportunity to stand in line.
But all the slaves were still in a daze. Pang Yu's flattery was nothing compared to Wang Dazhuang's confession.
Wang Dazhuang was also dumbfounded. He originally planned to put on Pang Yu's shoes today in order to avenge his brother-in-law, but Pang Yu, an excellent flatterer in full view of everyone, would definitely spread to the ears of the county magistrate, so he would give it to him at this time
I'm afraid the timing is not right for wearing small shoes. Might the county magistrate feel that Wang Dazhuang does not agree with Pang Yu's point of view?
Wang Dazhuang blinked his eyes hard to make sure that he was not dreaming, and then he coughed dryly, "There is some truth in what Pang Ersi said, and all of us in the soap class must have this understanding.
Those who received a slap in the face yesterday will be dealt with in our soap class when they come back. Those who deserve to be expelled will be expelled, and those who deserve to be punished will be punished.
But there is no need to say such things as Grandma in the future, the yamen still needs to practice some moral ethics."
In this way, even after the process of standing in line was completed, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and at the same time they kept talking about Fool Pang's speech, which seemed to be very sensational.
Wang Dazhuang suppressed his unhappiness, but the situation was such that he could only skip the part of putting Pang Yu's shoes on as originally planned, and continued to the others: "Now let's talk about Zao Ban's errands today, there are two "He Buy"
, one piece for comparison of money and grain in the household house in Nantang, and one piece for the military house and the Guanpu community in Beixia.
Lu Huasheng, Zuo Gui, Yang Manchang, the three of you are going to help the medical officer buy some medicinal materials. Here is the money and the list."
The three Zaolii smiled and thanked them repeatedly, and came to take the small bag from Wang Dazhuang's hand. The other Zaolii looked at the three of them with envy.
"Zhao Jucai, Zhang Zhou, you two go to the household to collect the tickets and do the errand of comparing money and food in Nantang."
The two people smiled even more happily. Among Zaoli's errands, the "comparison of money and food" was the most profitable. These five people were all the people who had just surrounded Wang Dazhuang and belonged to his confidants.
This ticket was issued by the household room. On the surface, it was a formal process. In fact, it was because Wang Dazhuang had a close relationship with the household room that he was able to get more tickets than Kuaiban and Zhuangban. Therefore, the slaves still had to spend money to get the tickets.
Bought it from Wang Dazhuang.
Now there are only Bingfang Xunpu Club and another "Hemai". Pang Yu's speech disrupted his plan, and he couldn't help but hesitate. If Pang Yu was given small shoes to wear at this time, many people would talk about it.
Under such miscellaneous circumstances, it is hard to guarantee that the news will not spread to the county magistrate. If you think you are suppressing the people who support the county magistrate, it is very unsightly.
Even if the county magistrate meets Pang Yu alone and Pang Yu talks nonsense, he will be in trouble.
Therefore, not only could we not suppress Pang Yu at this time, but we also had to give Pang Yu benefits and appear to support Pang Yu's speech, which made me feel very unhappy.
But then I thought about it, the county magistrate acting as an agent for county affairs is only temporary, and we can wait until the situation changes in the future to slowly deal with Pang Yu. I still don’t believe that Pang Yu, a little Zaoli, can change the world.
"I'll spare you a few days."
After Wang Dazhuang thought about it, he changed the candidates, and then read: "Gu Xiaowu visited Beixia Guanpu Society, and Pang Yu bought the pen and paper for the execution room and Yin and Yang..." "The villain must follow the example of the county magistrate.
I will work hard and do my duty with all my heart, and I will definitely finish this job well and live up to the trust of the leader."
Wang Dazhuang originally wanted to arrange for someone else, but when he heard that Pang Yu had brought the county magistrate out again, he felt angry and didn't know how to answer the question. However, Pang Yu had already taken the initiative to come over and reached out to take the money bag and the list of purchases.
"Let you be proud first."
Under his brother-in-law's shocked and angry gaze, Wang Dazhuang endured a breath of anger and slapped the silver bag into Pang Yu's hand.
