Chapter 281

In the Ming Dynasty, if one were to ask, what were the most important tasks of the county magistrate's official position, the simplest standard answer would definitely be one money and two punishments.

If the answer is richer, you can also add enlightenment, security and so on.But no matter how much it is added or subtracted, there will definitely not be such content as welcoming, seeing off and entertaining in the standard answer.

But in fact, welcoming and entertaining is a very important job content of local officials, especially those along the main traffic lines.

It stands to reason that when officials go on business trips, the treatment they enjoy on the way is regulated by the system.

But in actual operation, for the local officials in charge of reception and supply, sometimes they will offend people if they follow the rules, and sometimes they will offend people if they don't follow the rules, which is very difficult to handle.

"So, what exactly do you want to say?" Zeng's stepfather asked his cheap son, "Shao Zhongzai will arrive in Liaocheng this evening, how do you say to receive him?"

Qin Dewei waved his hand, and ordered: "Let the post station follow the rules! Don't pay more, don't pay less!"

It's not that Zeng's stepfather didn't understand unspoken rules, so he complained: "That's the most important official, Shao Zhongzai! He must be used to enjoying it all the way, and if this arrangement is made, he must be dissatisfied!"

Qin Dewei saw through everything and said: "For a person who is not kind, if we follow the rules, he will probably be dissatisfied. But if we spend our energy on hospitality beyond the standard, he will definitely be dissatisfied!

The left and right are also dissatisfied, so why bother?Just let yourself save some effort!Acting according to the rules, at least on the official side, is not justified! "

Zeng's stepfather also said enlightenedly: "If he dares to be dissatisfied with Zhang's handling of things, can we in turn accuse him of arrogance and extravagance?"

Qin Dewei laughed and said: "How can a person be so ill-intentioned? If he is not satisfied with the arrangement, he can speak out, and then we can correct it? Anyway, he said he would stay for a few days."

Stepfather Zeng always felt that Qin Dewei seemed to be expecting Huo Shilang to be angry, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"By the way, don't go to see Zai Shaozhong at night, so as not to cause more trouble. This person has ulterior motives, so try to avoid him." Qin Dewei said again.

Zeng's stepfather said with some doubts: "It's really out of courtesy for the local officials not to show their faces when there are high officials passing through the border."

In fact, according to the system, as the parents of a county, the county magistrate has dignity and does not need to visit the border officials, but now it is a kind of etiquette.

"Isn't there still a magistrate here? Just ask Kou Zhifu to visit Shaozuka Zai on behalf of the local government. Presumably Kou Zhifu is very happy." Qin Dewei made the arrangements clearly.

Then he reminded: "Now you are regarded by others as a member of Uncle Xia's faction. You must stand firm and not be too enthusiastic about Uncle Xia's enemies."

The distance between the official post station and the post station is particular. Under normal circumstances, it can be guaranteed that a post station will be reached in the evening under the normal schedule.

The official ship of Huo Tao, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, arrived at Chongwuyi outside the east gate of Liaocheng this evening.

There are special berths for official ships, and they can enter the post station after getting off the ship.Everything has been arranged in advance, Huo Shilang can check in and rest when he arrives.

Qin Dewei was having dinner with his parents in the county government house. Speaking of which, Qin Dewei had been time-traveling for almost three years, and the number of times he was able to eat together as a family was really rare.

He was only halfway through the meal, but he heard a report that something had happened at Chongwu Station, and the post officials were tied up and beaten.

Zengzhi County was furious. Although Yicheng had no rank, he was still an official, and he was also a face figure representing the county government in reception work. How could he just hit him casually?You can say that you are dissatisfied with the reception, but what is it to beat someone?
Qin Dewei hastily pressed his stepfather, "Don't go there yet! Ask someone else from the county government office to take a look!"

Immediately afterwards, Zengzhi County issued another order, asking Dian Shi, who was in charge of public security, to take a few servants to Chongwu Station to calm the situation.

Dian Shi left according to the order, Zeng Zhixian and Qin Dewei sat in the hall and waited. At this time, more detailed news came back.

It turns out that the post station operates according to the regulations, and Huo Shilang's own residence must be good, but the entourage who follow Huo Shilang can only make do with it, and several people sleep in a Datong bunk.

Originally, this was normal, how good treatment could the servants expect?If there are not enough rooms, you can only sleep on the Datong bunk.

But today, a follower surnamed Mai got annoyed and got angry and went to beat Yicheng, and then the other followers booed and held down Yicheng. In the end, Yicheng was seriously injured.

Zeng Zhixian became even angrier when he heard this, and couldn't help cursing: "He has no dignity, he is a scum, he is simply domineering! How can a servant of the official department have such a character!"

Qin Dewei said suspiciously: "How do I feel, this is their deliberate trouble? They want to use this to lure you, Mr. Zeng?"

At this time, another guard came to report out of breath, "Huang Dianshi was also beaten! The people over there are really arrogant!"

Snapped!Qin Dewei clapped the case and said: "I'm sure, they just want to lure you, Master Zeng! If others can't solve the situation, you have to go, Master Zeng!"

Zeng Zhixian said without fear: "Go and go, are you still afraid? A mere entourage, and you want to turn the world upside down? Even if Huo Shilang comes forward, he can't twist a word of reason!"

Qin Dewei said very distressed: "But I just can't figure it out. What can they do if they lure Master Zeng you over? With my intelligence, I can't think of their purpose.
Is it possible that you still want to beat Master Zeng, your local parent official?If so, it would be great!Huo Shilang doesn't have to go to the capital to take up his post anymore, he can return directly to his hometown.

Why didn't the master ever consider this bitter plan?Uncle Xia Dazong will be very grateful to you, and it will be of great benefit in the future."

Stepfather Zeng stared at Qin Dewei, what do you mean by that?Looking forward to being beaten as a father?If you speak out, you will be sentenced to disobedience!
The dutiful son Qin Dewei quickly said: "It's nothing else, I just want to say, let me do my filial piety once, and go for you, sir! Anyway, I can't follow their way of thinking!"

"You can go, it's considered asking for directions, but you need to bring more people and pay attention to safety." After pondering for a while, Zeng's stepfather made a decision. Qin Dewei is different from ordinary teenagers, and his ability to handle affairs is still trustworthy.

He also ordered the guards: "Hurry up and count the county government's strong men, and get 30 people!"

In the Chongwu post, Mai Xiang stood under the big tree with an arrogant and arrogant attitude.

What kind of Yicheng, what is the history of the Fourth Master, if you talk about fighting, you will fight, and others dare not speak out!This horse riding is called the taste of human beings, the first 30 years of life are simply wasted!
Today's deliberate provocation, on the one hand, was angry because he arranged to sleep in the Datong bunk, and he didn't arrange a beauty for himself at night!
At the same time, it was also taught by Mr. Huo, saying that he must not reveal his identity, and try his best to play a trick, so that his brother can help him speak out.

I don't know what kind of bitterness it is, at least it's quite cool now, or is it bitterness to sleep in the Datong shop?
 I can't finish writing the next chapter today, and I will post it tomorrow morning, and there should be more tomorrow.
