The autumn wind is bleak and the fallen leaves are flying.
Maybe it was because Ye Zhuqing was arrogant, or maybe Xuefu County was too remote.
It was actually in mid-August that Fang Wu received the post from an official.
It was said that Ye Zhuqing and his party were about to arrive at the Yamen, so they were asked to get ready and greet them in the Yamen.
Fang Wu agreed and let the news out.
The Yamen was crowded with people,
Because the people who came were of high rank and did not care about the court's arrangements, people from the first Yamen were cautious.
The same is true for Fang Wu and the others. They have been instructed by Qin Sihan and Ji Xuan. No matter what, at least they have to be decent in terms of face.
Therefore, they have also put a lot of thought into it. They can't hand over the knife to chop themselves to others as soon as they come, right?
The wax on the flickering candle slowly dripped all over the candle holder,
Finally, the sound of footsteps entered the Yamen.
Fang Wu and the others stood at the bottom of the steps and became nervous unconsciously.
She peeked over,
There were seven people in the group. The leader was tall and of medium build. He was wearing a light purple official robe. The white hair on his head was particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a pair of shiny shoes.
The distance is still quite far and I can’t see clearly.
Until that person walked in step by step,
Fang Wu then raised his eyes and saw that he had an oval face, a pointed chin, a pair of slit-like eyes, and wore a black gauze hat, but it still didn't cover his gray temples.
Fang Wu was a little surprised. He remembered that the person Bai Xi said was not very old.
I don't know if it was Bai Xi's intention or there were other reasons. In short, neither Bai Xi nor Qin Sihan came.
"My surname is Ye. Starting from Beijing, all affairs in Zhouxue and Xuefu counties have been handled by me. I think you all have seen the transfer orders passed down by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Ye Zhuqing walked up the steps and stood on the steps talking condescendingly.
On the steps, there was only Ye Zhuqing,
There was a person at the bottom of the steps. No one spoke, and they all lowered their heads and looked at the uppers of their shoes.
Before coming to the Yamen, Ye Zhuqing had already sent his father to the Hou Yamen, so here were all the people who would work together in the Yamen.
Of course, it is not necessary for everyone to join the yamen. After all, Ye Zhuqing also has servants around him to take care of trivial matters.
It's the two slightly bent people standing at the bottom of the steps.
The other four are the ones who are going to join the Yamen.
"Who is taking care of everything in the county now?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Zhuqing felt a little unhappy and coughed and asked.
"This is my official. Everything has been sorted out. Please check it, sir." Zhang Xuan stepped forward and handed out the things in his hands.
This is a hot potato, hand it over early to save trouble.
Zhang Xuan has always been impatient with these things.
Especially if you are not willing to take care of it for someone who is already biased, isn't this thankless?
"Well, I am naturally happy to see the success of Mr. Zhang's move. Moreover, I see that you have only been an official for a short time, so naturally you will not do better than me. These are the ones I need around me.
Yes, I will work with you in the future."
"Everyone, let's get to know each other. I see that the three of you are leading the way in this yamen. It just so happens that you can take me and these few to get familiar with the yamen."
Ye Zhuqing said.
He didn't ask if they were willing, and of course there was no need for others to ask.
He was unceremonious in his words and deeds, as if this place was his own.
After a few people said hello, they followed Ye Zhuqing into the yamen.
Ye Zhuqing's steps were not slow, and he obviously did not give everyone time to whisper to each other. Even if everyone just followed, they were still dragging their feet.
"I see, this month's duties have been arranged. Was it arranged by Zhang Qizhi? Let me tell you, this kind of thing should not be done alone. I will have to rearrange it later."
"No, these were all done by Mr. Bai." Zhang Xuan replied.
"Huh? Who is Mr. Bai? What is the official rank of Mr. Bai?" Ye Zhuqing was stunned, turned around and asked directly.
Everyone was silent.
Naturally, Bai Xi was not here. He knew that Ye Zhuqing would come today, but he would not come.
Why let him come?
He is not his master, so of course he doesn't need to pay attention to him.
He has something going on today, of course, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't come.
"Who is Mr. Bai? I took office today? He actually refused to welcome me?" Ye Zhuqing said loudly.
"I am his superior officer. It is really unreasonable for him to be like this. Since he doesn't want to come, he doesn't have to come here in the future. Why is there no official seal, duty book, servant book, and servant seal of the yamen here?"
Ye Zhuqing may have noticed that something was not right here, so he turned a few pages and frowned.
Without waiting for Zhang Xuan to speak,
He started talking nonsense,
"I said, Mr. Zhang, you don't dare to withhold such an important thing privately. This time, I didn't care about it and gave it to me quickly. I just pretended that this matter did not exist." Ye Zhuqing said.
As he said that, he also spread his hands.
Zhang Xuan was stunned, how could this man make his own conclusions?
Conclusion without reason? Doesn’t he know that he has offended people in this way?
Zhang Xuan took a step back and could only say: "These things were kept by Mr. Bai. He has no official position in the yamen."
Zhang Xuan simply made it clear in one sentence that none of them had the right to comment on whether Bai Xi would come or when.
"Master Zhang, I think that such an important thing cannot be given to people without official positions at will. Is this how everyone in your yamen does things? In my opinion, you should stop doing anything in the future and wait for me.
After inspection and training, I can resume my duties as I wish."
Ye Zhuqing was angry and kicked Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan didn't expect that he would take action and kicked Zhang almost to the point of falling.
"Master Ye, although we are subordinate officials, we are also officials appointed by the imperial court. We are not someone you can cut or beat at will."
Fang Wu supported Zhang Xuan and said, she looked directly into Ye Zhuqing's eyes.
I don't know why, Ye Zhuqing was a little scared subconsciously, but she thought to herself, she is just a yellow-haired girl, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Are you teaching me how to do things? Is this the style of your school's yamen? Huh, I remind you that your assessment and evaluation are all made by me. If you do this, I will inevitably see a difference.
.There is no need to give him any salary or money."
Ye Zhuqing said, and shook the former servant's seal. Voucher, this, this is obviously a naked threat.
"Also, where does Mr. Bai live? Go to two yamen servants and ask him to hand over his things. He has no right to keep the yamen's things."
Ye Zhuqing commanded.
He didn't ask, didn't discuss, just one sentence, didn't he just want to directly attack the whole yamen?
