Gift natural power at the beginning

Chapter 248 Bribery

The next day, early morning.

Lin Mo did a simple morning exercise. After exercising his muscles and bones, he put on neat clothes and dressed up a little before heading to the Simafang Yamen.

As public officials in Huaiping, their working hours are set relatively early, and they are required to clock in at around seven o'clock in the morning.

It's just that there is half an hour of rest time after going there, during which you can have breakfast in the small cafeteria inside the yamen, or catch up on sleep.

Afterwards, I worked until about ten o'clock, and then I took a lunch break. After that, I can have free activities in the afternoon.

In terms of time alone, it is indeed free.

Walking on the street, Lin Mo looked at the scene along the way,

It's still early, and there are many people on the street at this time.

Coming and going, the flow of people is like weaving, and the most people are naturally the vegetable bearers and the bunt trackers.

Obviously, even in a big city like Huaiping, there are still a lot of poor people.

'No wonder so many people want to enter the Yamen. '

He sighed softly.

Compared with being greedy in the morning and night, and worrying about livelihood, the system of resting after working out in the morning and evening is simply too sweet.

Time passed slowly, Lin Mo's residence was not far from the yamen, and he arrived soon.

He straightened his luggage, rubbed his face, and walked towards the door.

The yamen of Simafang is very big, and it is also a big house, with three entrances, at this time, there are already two soldiers with cold faces standing at the door.

Just as he stepped forward, a carriage suddenly came leisurely from the other side of the long street.

The speed of the other party was not fast, and the target seemed to be Lin Mo, who drove directly to a place four or five meters away from him and stopped.

Soon afterward, a man in heavy attire jumped out of the car, held an exquisite wooden box in his hand, and carefully placed it at Lin Mo's feet, opened the wooden box, revealing a corner full of golden tickets , smiled, turned around and drove away.

Lin Mo didn't move. He looked at the carriage slowly driving away, and then at the wooden box on the ground, thinking deeply.

"Hey, Brother Lin, why are you standing there? Still not taking it?"

Suddenly, a low voice came from behind.

He turned around and saw his colleague Xue Gui who was drinking with him last night standing behind him, looking enviously at the wooden box on the ground.

"It's okay?" Lin Mo glanced at the guard not far away, and more and more pedestrians around.

means something.

It was only yesterday that everyone said with deep expressions that they must be moderate, but now that the gifts are delivered directly to the door, you just ask me to accept them?
While he felt strange, the way he looked at Xue Gui gradually became dangerous.

"What are you afraid of? If I really need you to do business, I won't give gifts here, and I won't put them in a box. At the very least, I will serve you with an empty stone ring." Xue Gui's eyes were a little red, and his hair was a little loose, just like last night He didn't sleep well, and didn't notice any changes in Lin Mo, so he explained:

"To be precise, newcomers will receive a greeting gift, which is the custom of the Simafang Yamen, and it can be regarded as a cleansing.

In the morning, it was given by the top-ranked big business houses, and it was also the most valuable. As for other small forces, they would give some to them one after another, but they were all small things. "

After speaking, he bent down, glanced at the box, closed it, and handed it to Lin Mo.

"Tsk, it's better to use the skin of your Lingxi Bieyuan. Your meeting ceremony is much more important than mine at that time."

Xue Gui said with emotion.

When he joined the company, he only received 5000 taels of gold tickets and three bottles of Lu Ming Dan.

As for Lin Mo's wooden box, just the exposed dime of the gold ticket is definitely more than 1 taels.

"Okay, you keep it, if you don't take it, it's not easy to mess around in the yamen." Xue Gui shook his head and whispered again, and gave away the wooden box in his hand again.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, thought for a while that it was true, and accepted it.

He made up his mind that if it was really a bribe and what he asked for was outrageous, he would just confiscate it.

In his view, as long as he accepts the gift and does not do anything, he cannot be called bribery, and naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that the rules of Sima Fang are really strange.

Lin Mo glanced around at the colleagues who were not surprised, and even handed over their hands to congratulate, only feeling novelty for a while.

"Okay, let's go, you will experience a lot of these things in the future, it's normal, like our Simafang, it's still good, I heard that there are officials selling officials in the personnel hall next door, isn't it even more outrageous?

calm down.After all, there is no benefit, who wants to do this? "Xue Gui took the initiative to comfort him.

In his opinion, Lin Mo is the kind of person who came from a small place, although he has some talents and looks rather fierce, but his character is very honest.

For novel things, I will always be afraid of inferiority, and be intimidated.

This is a common problem of people from the countryside, caused by their childhood environment. In short, this kind of person is the most suitable for making friends, so he does not hesitate to give some help in small things.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

The two walked into the yamen together, and wrote their names on the mausoleum on time. After the mao was drawn, it was considered signed.

Then the two went to the cafeteria to eat together.

At this time, there were already many people in the small cafeteria.

The food in the cafeteria is not bad, it is in the form of self-service, mostly meat products, all of which are mountain beasts, although it cannot be the beasts of the Liming Realm, but in this world, it is very good to have meat to eat.

After eating, it is normal working hours.

Colleagues who had a drink last night came one after another.

After greeting each other, they officially started working.

Lin Mo was not arranged to go to the ferry for inspection today, and his job was still to transcribe and classify the files.

The dossier here is the number of merchants in Simafang, including merchants large and small, and the update time was one month ago.

Specific information includes business, personnel size, store hours, and corresponding taxes.

Instead, he didn't have to ask his colleagues which pharmacy was the best, and he could find the answer directly from the file, which saved him a lot of effort.

He also took time to look at the wooden box that those people sent in the morning.

There are indeed a lot of things, a full 2 taels of gold tickets, as well as some bottles and cans of medicine.

Of course, the specific efficacy of the medicine still needs to be tested, but judging from the outer packaging, it should be a good product.

Only then did he understand why Liu Jie and the others loved and hated working at Simafang Yamen last night.

It's because it's so easy to get money.

Just a rough estimate, the supplies in the wooden box in the morning, not counting the medicines, are enough to support an ordinary Qi and blood martial artist for half a year to practice.

If you come a few more times, is it okay?
It's just that while he was surprised, he was also more afraid.

Others don't know, but he knows that he came here not through some back door, but because he was punished, which means there must be a back door.

It's just that he's new here now, but he can only respond unchanged, which makes Lin Mo feel a little aggrieved for no reason.

Sometimes he misses the days in Qingfeng City.

Really strong enough to do whatever you want, to fully implement your will.

It's not like this Huaiping.
He sighed in his heart, stopped thinking about it, and continued to copy.

But when you are immersed in one thing, time passes quickly.

Soon it was time to get off work.

Liu Jie and the others yelled to eat and drink together again, but this time Lin Mo refused.

He planned to take advantage of this free time to look for medicine.

As for the target, he has already found it, and that is the century-old pharmacy 'Qingdanfang' in Simafang.

But just when Lin Mo was about to get up, Xue Gui walked over with a panicked expression.
