Chapter 301: This is what it is like to be an official
It was already sunset. Li Guolou had finished dressing up, changed into a set of clean clothes, drank warm tea, and sat in the study. Since there was a ready-made cell in Maplewood House, there were also properties that were constantly being confiscated. Li Guolou How could he just leave? He lived in the original B1 3 Kanwang/B room in Apusa. There was a bed in room B. It looked quite clean. Li Guolou did not want to live in the bedroom. Xie Liya, Wu Peipei and Bai Lian were tidying up the study room. Also slept on the bed.
Bai Lian, the maid in charge of the house, made clean sheets and made the bedding. Wu Peipei checked it over with satisfaction. She turned around and asked, "Xiaolou, are you still satisfied?"
"Yes. 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 a report.
Wu Peipei said dissatisfied: "Xiaolou, why are you working so hard? I can tell you. You will change it later. You will change it before Master Bao comes. You are not fooling around."
Li Guolou put down his brush and said suspiciously: "This is the draft I wrote for Mr. Bao to read. Of course I have to change it. Sister Peipei, why do you say I will change it later?"
Wu Peipei shook her head and said: "Xiaolou, you still need more experience. You don't even know how to maintain friendship in the officialdom. Such a big thing happened here. Forty-eight women were robbed. The local officials were unaware. Mayor Huang Xiang, Paul Chang Xie Chenyuan, these people can't afford to eat and walk 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. In the afternoon, Huang Xiang gave a secret message. He had arranged the banquet in the evening. The chef and the dishes were all arranged. It turned out that there was something fishy hidden in it. The officials of Xiejiaying were still involved in this matter. Get credit for the case.
"Then I won't write any more. Xie Liya, Sister Peipei, Bai Lian, what did you bring?" Li Guolou crossed his legs, picked up the tea cup and drank tea. He waited for the banquet to begin and calculated how much money the officials in Xie's family camp would give to bribe them. he.
Wu Peipei angrily said: "Xiaolou, is this what you should 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. .Winning and winking. Not putting it in the pocket firmly. Can't reveal the bottom.
Xie Liya sighed: "Now I finally understand why the people in our country go all over the world to plunder and raid. Even the little girl Bai Lian has become crazy." After saying this, Xie Liya rolled her eyes at Bai Lian. She never expected to look honest and honest. The maid Bai Lian turned out to be an insatiable person. She even wanted to keep a bronze mirror in her pocket. A carriage was filled with miscellaneous belongings. She was not satisfied yet. She planned to continue shopping for treasure tomorrow.
Bai Lian said delicately: "Fourth Grandma, I have a weak foundation. I have 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 still need to be revised."
Bai Lian's greedy nature was exposed. She actually wanted to use two carriages to load her belongings back to Beijing. Li Guolou was surprised when he heard this. He said anxiously: "Sister Peipei, let the servants pack a cart of belongings back tomorrow morning. Otherwise, Mr. Bao Come. 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, "Small building, leave some food for us. We can eat whatever we want. Just a few will do. We won’t be attending the dinner.”
Wu Peipei, Xie Liya, and Bai Lian looked nervous and led four servants to the main hall. They carried oil lamps and went to hold candles for night shopping.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "It's better to fight. It's a pity that it's only this once." He sighed in his heart. Why are bandits incessant in the place? Fattening and killing is a sure-profit business.
Battle 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. Now that the "wealth-spreading boy" is here, he will not be polite and is ready to make a lot of money.
Gao Yaowun's task is to entertain the forty-eight female compatriots. Take good care of them, eat them well, and sleep well. Don't let them commit suicide because of their thoughts. He also needs to find eloquent people among the forty-eight female compatriots, as well as those who can. 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. They could resonate with each other after just saying 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 had no patience to chat with the forty-eight female compatriots. She just classified the forty-eight female compatriots in the book. Who needs to take care of their future life. Who should arrange for them to return to their hometown. They have been spotted by the chief. He 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. Forty-eight names. Various choices were arranged properly. Watertight. Just like solving a case, there were no loopholes.
"The meritorious minister" Hei Zhuzhu approached and said: "Gao Yao is the head catcher. I want to discuss something with you."
Gao Yao Wuyun was extremely dissatisfied with Hei Zhuzhu who made many demands. He replied: "You guys should stop causing trouble. The silver reward is still too small. Didn't my husband solve it?"
"Hehehe." 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 criticism conference will allow five of us to take their place. I promise you. The five of us promise to 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. Speak. Only in this way can the criticism meeting be held in a lively manner. Captain Li will also be impressed by you. You will still 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. It was a clever trick. In real cases, there would also be some fakery involved. Only in this way can the effect be perfect.
"Okay. I will report to Captain Li later and tell him your proposal." Gao Yao Wuyun smiled. The time was just right. He could still sit down and drink to celebrate.
"Gao Yao is the boss. We have to pay platform fees. We don't have much chance to cooperate." Hei Zhuzhu raised his voice.
When Gao Yao Wuyun entered the flower hall, he really saw Li Guolou clinking glasses with Huang Xiang, the mayor of 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 plot and tricks. He asked the minion "Hua Mulan" to do it.
"Xie Baozhang, after you finish your meal, please take it back. I already have a backup candidate. There is no shortage of female compatriots." Gao Yaowun secretly stretched out his palm to ask for a reward of silver. He agreed to get Meijiao Niang to reward him with ten taels of silver.
"Haha. Hua Mulan's move was extraordinary. It was solved 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." Mayor Huang Xiang 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 about the second candidate?"
"Oh. That's it." Mayor Huang Xiang was a little disappointed. He quickly adjusted his mentality. He stroked his beard and nodded and said, "It's okay. It's better than nothing. Gao Yao is the head catcher. Can you take it home later?"
Gao Yao Wuyun was as usual. He stretched out his big palm and greeted her with a smile. It was extraordinary for a ninth-grade official to make a move. Twenty taels of silver notes fell into her hands.
Li Guolou nodded approvingly. Gao Yao Wuyun had a place in the banquet. Gao Yao 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. He finally stepped into the ranks of officials. She could see the transactions between officials at a glance. The few people who were angry at each other in the morning were now so good that they were talking to each other and called each other brothers. This is how being an official is. Something happened.
Li Guolou raised his wine glass and said: "Gao Yao is the head catcher. He has made obvious progress. It's much better than last time."
"Hehe. 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. She only had to recite it once and her merits would be complete.
Li Guolou looked at the scene of guests toasting each other in the flower hall. It seemed like he was in a dream. In the officialdom of drunken life and death, major disasters were immediately transformed into everyone's share of the credit with a wonderful pen. Some officials believed in the innate way, which happened to be a negative example. .Catch him as a shield. The officials above were guilty of negligence. But they were able to stand firm in times of crisis. Eliminate the black sheep and promptly notify them to eliminate the banditry. Of course, the merits outweigh the faults. Eliminating the innate Taoist field is what the officials of the Qing Dynasty do. The result of joint efforts from all parties.
Li Guolou was wondering if Bao Yongyi felt regret after reading the victory document. He had to go through the "head soup". Well, he should give priority to safety and let his superior Bao Yongyi do the work of rewarding his subordinates. Hand over the stolen money that should be handed over. The eight hundred taels of ceremonial gifts sent by Xiejiaying officials tonight. Bao Yiyi is so smart that he will definitely know. It seems that he cannot hide his secrets. Maybe Bao Yiyi will blame him for not being experienced enough. He shouldn't do it for For eight hundred taels of silver, the mayor Huang Xiang and others were released.
"Head, will Mr. Bao come tomorrow?" Gao Yaowuyun's face turned purple after drinking. His squinting eyes became even smaller, and he couldn't see people clearly.
Li Guolou was interrupted from his thoughts. He glanced and said: "Sir, whether he is coming or not, we will also hold a criticism meeting. This criticism meeting will last for three days. Gather the people from all over. Let them see the true face of the innate way. Recognize it clearly. Who is their savior?"
"Of course, long live my emperor." Mayor Huang Xiang turned over and bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City. He knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. Now everyone in the flower hall knelt down and kowtowed and shouted "long live the emperor" three times.
Li Guolou was angry. Why was this civil servant so virtuous? He drank the wine well, but suddenly he went crazy. The wine had no taste. 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. You also have to report your victory to the officials. The banquet should end early." Li Guo issued an ejection order downstairs. He did not want to talk to the mayor Huang Xiang who kept saying "Long live the Lord".
"Yes, yes. We all have to go back and write a report for Czech Republic b1 3kanwang/b."
The mayor Huang Xiang got everything he wanted anyway. He happily helped a beautiful female compatriot into the carriage and left Maplewood House. Other officials also left with him.
At the gate, Li Guolou turned around and went back. Before he entered the flower hall, he shouted: "Young men, put the wine on the table again. Drinking with those donkey balls is too boring. Mr. Bao invites us to drink. There is no need to kneel down." "
"Yeah. What's the big deal? How many levels are we different from the emperor? He has to lift the emperor out to crush us." Ai Hai, whose knees hurt from kneeling 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 the enemy and killed their own brothers. The catharsis broke out at the banquet. Some people laughed, some cried. Everyone drank bowls. Alcohol numbed himself. For the second time, Li Guolou drank to the point of falling to the ground in front of everyone.
Li Guolou was carried back to the study by Bater. Looking at Li Guolou who was like mud, the three beauties sighed together, undressed and undressed Li Guolou, and served him 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. She angrily put her hand into Shelia's bed and scratched her.
The two were quarreling on the bed. Bai Lian, the maid-in-law, was still working. She had to help Li Guolou wash his face and carry the copper basin. This is what a qualified maid-in-law does. Otherwise, she would not even be the maid-in-law. There is no chance. But when she gets pregnant, Bai Lian will usher in the spring. She no longer needs 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 not been broken. Women compatriots are content with their destiny. Bai Lian is looking forward to the day when she ascends to heaven.
