Chapter 301: This is what it is like to be an official
It was already sunset. Li Guolou had finished washing up, changed into a set of clean clothes, drank warm hot tea, and sat in the study. Since there were ready-made cells in Maplewood House and the property that was constantly being confiscated, Li Guolou
How could he just leave? He lived in Apusa's original study. There was a bed in the study, but it looked quite clean. Li Guolou didn't want to live in the bedroom, and Xie Liya, Wu Peipei, and Bai Lian also slept in the study after tidying it up.
On the bed.
Bai Lian, the maid in charge of the house, made clean sheets and spread them out. Wu Peipei inspected them with satisfaction, then turned around and asked, "Xiaolou, are you satisfied?"
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work." Li Guolou didn't even raise his head to take a look, he was still writing the report.
Wu Peipei said dissatisfied: "Xiaolou, why are you working so hard? I can tell you that you will change it later. Even if Master Bao is here, you still want to change it. Isn't this just a fool's errand?"
Li Guolou put down his brush and said suspiciously: "This is the draft I wrote for Mr. Bao to read. Of course it needs to be revised. Sister Peipei, why do you say that I will revise it later?"
Wu Peipei shook her head and said: "Xiaolou, you still need to practice more. You don't even know how to maintain friendship in the officialdom. Such a big thing happened here. Forty-eight women were robbed, but the local officials were completely unaware. The mayor committed suicide and the security guard
Chang Xie Chenyuan and these people can't afford to go around. In order to protect themselves, they will come to bribe you later. Their names must appear in your credit book, otherwise they will burn us all with a fire at night.
Died at Maplewood House."
"Oh oh oh oh!" Li Guolou suddenly realized that in the afternoon, he gave a secret message. He had arranged the banquet in the evening, the chef, and the dishes were arranged with great pains. It turned out that there was something fishy hidden in it, and the officials of Xiejiaying were still involved in this matter.
Get credit for the case.
"Then I won't write anymore. Xie Liya, Sister Peipei, and Bai Lian, what did you bring?" Li Guolou crossed his legs, picked up his teacup and drank tea. He waited for the banquet to begin and calculated how much money the officials in Xie's family camp would offer to bribe him.
he?
Wu Peipei angrily said: "Xiaolou, is this your right to ask? You will see it when you get home. Now be more serious and set an example!" As she spoke, Wu Peipei turned to Xie Liya and Bai Lian who were sitting on the bed.
, winking, not putting it firmly into the pocket, and not revealing the bottom.
Xie Liya sighed: "Now I finally understand why people in our country go all over the world to plunder. A raid made even the little girl Bai Lian go crazy." After saying this, Xie Liya rolled her eyes at Bai Lian, who never expected that she looked honest and honest.
The maid Bai Lian turned out to be an insatiable greedy person. She even wanted to keep a bronze mirror and a carriage filled with miscellaneous belongings. She was still not satisfied and planned to continue shopping for treasure tomorrow.
Bai Lian said delicately: "Fourth Grandma, I have a weak foundation and nothing. Besides, I have to honor other grandmothers when I go back. Eighth Grandma, do you think I have enough property to prepare two carriages?"
Wu Peipei said slowly: "Well, I think it's almost done. When Mr. Bao comes, the list I wrote will have to be revised."
Bai Lian's greedy nature was exposed, and she actually wanted to use two carriages to load her belongings back to Beijing. Li Guolou was surprised when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Sister Peipei, ask the servants to load one cart of belongings back tomorrow morning, otherwise Mr. Bao
Once it’s here, I’m done.”
Wu Peipei stood up angrily and urged: "Why are you two still standing there? Let's go work overtime and fill up the other carriage." Then she turned around and said: "Xiaolou, leave some food for us, we can eat whatever we want.
Just a few will be fine, we won’t be attending the dinner.”
Wu Peipei, Xie Liya, and Bai Lian looked nervous and led four servants to the main hall, holding oil lamps and going to hold candles for night shopping.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "It's better to fight, but it's a pity that it's just this one time." He sighed in his heart, why there are so many bandits in the place, and fattening and killing is a sure-profit business.
Battelle walked into the study door and said in a rough voice: "Captain Li, Mayor Huang is here."
"Hahahaha!" Li Guolou swung his arms and stepped out of the threshold. Since the "wealth-spreading boy" is here, he will not be polite and is ready to make a huge sum of money.
Gao Yaowun's task is to entertain the forty-eight female compatriots, take good care of them, eat well, and sleep well, so that they can't commit suicide because of their thoughts. He also needs to find eloquent people among the forty-eight female compatriots, and those who can speak well.
People who cry until their faces turn pale have their own uses.
The people accompanying him were Hei Zhuzhu and other five reformed women from Balizhuang. They all had pasts that they couldn't bear to look back on, and they could resonate with each other after just a few words. The cry spread from one room to another.
, the heart-touching words of comfort gave 48 female compatriots the courage to live.
Gao Yaowun wandered around several rooms. She didn't have the patience to chat with the forty-eight female compatriots. She just classified the forty-eight female compatriots in the book, which ones need to take care of their future lives, who need to arrange for them to return to their hometown, and which ones
They have been spotted by the chief, who wants to persuade them to enter the bridal chamber early.
Finally the book was closed, Gao Yao's frowning eyebrows were revealed, all the trivial matters were settled, the forty-eight names and various choices were arranged properly, watertight, just like solving a case, there were no loopholes.
"The meritorious minister" Hei Zhuzhu approached and said, "Captain Gao Yao wants to discuss something with you."
Gao Yao Wuyun was extremely dissatisfied with Hei Zhuzhu, who had many demands, and replied: "You guys should stop causing trouble. Don't you get too little silver reward? Didn't my husband solve it?"
"Hahaha!" Hei Zhuzhu laughed three times and said: "This is how Gao Yao catches the head. Since the five of us are here, we must be given a chance to show our faces. There are several female compatriots who are like elm lumps.
They can only shed tears and cannot speak. The five of us were asked to take their place during the criticism meeting. I promise you, the five of us will give you a face. We will cry if you make us cry. Let us accuse the cruelty of the innate way. We will take the lead.
Make a speech, so that the criticism meeting can be a lively one. Captain Li will also be impressed by you, and you will be the first to get the benefits in the future."
"Oh! That's it!" Gao Yao Wuyun held his chin and looked up and down. Hei Zhuzhu did have a talent for acting, and it was a clever move. Real cases would also be mixed with a little fakeness, so that the effect would be perfect.
"Okay! I'll report to Captain Li later and tell him your proposal." Gao Yao Wuyun smiled. The time was right and he could sit down and drink to celebrate.
"Gao Yao is the boss, and the platform fee has to be paid. We don't have much chance to cooperate." Hei Zhuzhu raised his voice.
When Gao Yaowun entered the flower hall, he saw Li Guolou clinking glasses with Mayor Xiejiaying and a group of officials.
"Haha! Hua Mulan is here!" Xie Chenyuan, the security guard, greeted Gao Yao Wuyun affectionately. He had his own conspiracy and asked the minion "Hua Mulan" to do it.
"Xie Baozhang, take it back after you finish your meal. I already have a backup candidate. There is no shortage of female compatriots." Gao Yaowun secretly stretched out his palm to ask for the silver reward. He agreed to get Meijiao Niang to reward him with ten taels of silver.
"Haha! Hua Mulan made an extraordinary move and solved it so quickly." Xie Chenyuan, the security guard, took out a banknote from his pocket and stuffed it into Gao Yaowun's big hand. Everyone cooperated happily.
"Ah hum!" The mayor** remained reserved. He is also a ninth-grade official, how can he be without dignity.
Gao Yao Wuyun hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Mayor Huang, the first candidate you like is a bit difficult to deal with. What do you say to the second candidate?"
"Oh! That's it!" The mayor ** was a little disappointed. He quickly adjusted his mentality, stroked his beard and nodded: "That's fine! It's better than nothing. Gao Yao is the head catcher, can you take him home later?"
Gao Yaowun, as always, stretched out his big palm and greeted her with a smile. The ninth-grade official's move was extraordinary, and twenty taels of silver notes fell into her hands.
Li Guolou nodded approvingly, and Gao Yaowun had a place in the banquet. Gaoyao Wuyun was a piece of beautiful jade that could be brought into the "Tianzihao". The errand he assigned was successfully completed without him having to waste any words.
Gao Yaowun poured himself a drink, with a smile on his face, and finally stepped into the ranks of officials. The transactions between officials were clear to her at a glance. The few people who had glared at each other in the morning were now holding hands and calling each other brothers. This is how being an official is.
Something happened.
Li Guolou raised his glass and said: "Gao Yao has made great progress in arresting the head. It's much better than last time."
"Hey, I learned this from Xiangtou." How could Gao Yaowun give the credit to Hei Zhuzhu and others? She held the credit book in her hand, and she only had to recite it once later to complete her merits.
Li Guolou looked at the scene of guests toasting each other in the flower hall, as if he was in a dream. In the officialdom of drunken life and death, major disasters were immediately transformed into achievements shared by everyone with a wonderful pen. Some officials believed in the innate way, which just served as a negative example.
, arrested and used as a shield. The officials above were guilty of negligence, but they were able to stand firm in times of crisis and eliminate the bad apples. Notifying him in time to eliminate the banditry was of course more merit than demerit. Eliminating the Xiantian Taoist field was the responsibility of the Qing officials.
The result of joint efforts from all parties.
Li Guolou was wondering, did Bao Tongtong feel regret after reading the victory document? Let him go through the "head soup". Well, he should give priority to safety and let his superior Bao Tongtong do the work of rewarding his subordinates.
Hand over the stolen money that should be handed over, and the 800 taels of gifts sent by Xiejiaying officials tonight. Bao Yiyi is so smart that he will definitely know it, and it seems that he cannot hide his secrets. Maybe Bao Yiyi will blame him for not being experienced enough in doing things, and shouldn't do it for
For eight hundred taels of silver, I let the mayor ** and others go.
"Boss, will Mr. Bao come tomorrow?" Gao Yao Wuyun's face turned purple after drinking, and his squinting eyes became even smaller, making it difficult to see people clearly.
Li Guolou was interrupted from his thoughts and glanced at him and said: "Whether or not the chief comes, we will hold a criticism meeting. This criticism meeting will last for three days, gathering people from all over the world, so that they can see the true face of Xiantian Dao and understand it clearly.
Who is their savior?"
"Of course, long live my emperor!" The mayor ** turned over and bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Now everyone in the flower hall knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted "long live the emperor" three times.
Li Guolou was angry, why was this civil servant so virtuous? He was drinking this wine well, but suddenly he went crazy. This wine was tasteless, and if he drank any more, he would kneel on the ground and be unable to get up.
"Mayor Huang, I still need to write a report of victory, and you also need to report your victory to the officials. The banquet should end early." Li Guo issued an ejection order downstairs, not wanting to talk to the mayor who kept saying "Long live the Lord".
"Yes, yes! We all have to go back and write the victory documents. Hahahaha!"
The mayor, **, got everything he wanted anyway. He happily helped a beautiful female compatriot into the carriage and left Maplewood House, followed by other officials.
At the gate, Li Guolou turned around and went back. Before he entered the flower hall, he shouted: "Gentlemen, please put the wine on the table again. Drinking with those donkey balls is too boring. Master Bao invites us to drink, so there is no need to kneel down."
"
"Yeah, what's the big deal? How many levels are we different from the emperor? Why should he lift the emperor out and crush us?" Ai Hai, who had kneeled in pain just now, also complained.
A group of people repacked the bowls and chopsticks in the flower hall. After a while, a new round of banquet started again. They killed enemies and killed their own brothers. The catharsis broke out at the banquet. Some people laughed, some cried, and everyone used bowls of wine.
After drinking himself to death, Li Guolou drank to the point of collapse in front of everyone for the second time.
Li Guolou was carried back to the study by Battelle. Looking at Li Guolou who was like mud, the three beauties sighed together, undressed and undressed Li Guolou, and helped him go to bed.
Wu Peipei said: "Bai Lian, put a washbasin next to the small building, maybe he will vomit in the middle of the night."
Shelia sneered and said: "Sister Peipei, you are quite experienced."
"Fuck you!" Wu Peipei was teased by Shelia, and she angrily put her hand into Shelia's quilt and scratched her.
The two of them were quarreling on the bed, but Bai Lian, the maid-in-law, was still working. She had to help Li Guolou wash his face and carry the copper basin. This was what a qualified maid-in-law did, otherwise she would not even be the maid-in-law.
There is no chance. But when she becomes pregnant, Bai Lian will usher in spring and no longer need to serve the eighth grandma Wu Peipei, and officially takes the position of "Lao Ninth". Feudal society has designed levels for women, which have been passed down for thousands of years.
At this time, it has still not been broken. The female compatriots are content with their destiny, and Bai Lian is looking forward to the day when she ascends to heaven.
