Mingshi

Chapter 826
This is outrageous!

"Where did all those people go?"

With embarrassment on his face, Ma Qingshan said cautiously: "The Zhan Shifu has no official business, so... everyone rotates one person to be on duty every day, and the rest of them can do whatever they want."

Luo Xin's face sank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Collective dereliction of duty, who is picking the top?"

"This...we discussed it." Ma Qingshan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Luo Xin's face darkened, and he said in a concentrated voice: "Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the superior?"

Ma Qingshan said with a wry smile: "No one pays attention to us, and everyone knows that no one is willing to come to Zhan Shifu. Even if one is sued, there is a vacancy in Zhan Shifu, and no one is willing to come. Instead, Shangguan is worried about who to send away." Come here, so everyone pretends not to see it."

Luo Xin was taken aback, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, this Zhan Shifu is really a trap, no one wants to come here.Taking a breath, he calmed down and said:

"Then what did they do?"

"I'm making money!" Ma Qingshan said embarrassingly: "Some families open a shop, buy calligraphy and painting, buy groceries, copy books for others, and do bookkeeping for others. Anyway, as long as they can make money, they can What are you going to do?"

Luo Xin frowned and said: "Everyone's salary should be enough for living, why should you lose face?"

Ma Qingshan said with a bitter face: "My lord, if we only spend money on food and drink, our salary will be enough. However, none of us are natives of the capital, and there is no house in the capital. Therefore, where we live It’s rented. The rent in the capital city is big, and after paying the rent every month, there’s not much left. To be honest, my lord, we can’t even eat meat twice a month.”

Ma Qingshan paused for a moment and said: "For more than a year before, the court couldn't pay the salary. If we didn't find some work outside, we court officials would all starve to death."

"The owed salary hasn't been reissued?" Luo Xin was a little surprised. It stands to reason that the Shibo Secretary has already earned money, and the court should reissue the salary.

"Send me..." Ma Qingshan finally swallowed the word "fart", and continued: "It would be nice to be able to pay the full salary now."

Luo Xin frowned and said: "Could it be that all Beijing officials are like this? Are they all making money outside?"

"How could it be?" Ma Qingshan shook his head and said, "Only Qingshui Yamen is like this. Those rich Yamen don't point to salary at all, and we, Qingshui Yamen, are crying because of suffering. What's more, Zhan Shifu is not ordinary Qingshui."

Luo Xin thought for a while, got up and walked out the door, walking towards the gate of Zhan Shifu.Ma Qingshan also hurriedly got up and followed behind. He didn't know what Luo Xin was going to do, but Luo Xin didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to ask.Luo Xin went all the way to the gate, and waved to a soldier, and the soldier ran over erratically.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Luo Xin took out a piece of silver and handed it to the soldier, "Go and buy me four dishes and a jug of wine, and the rest of the money you guys will buy some wine."

When the soldier heard this, he immediately smiled, took the money, and ran to a tavern opposite.Ma Qingshan looked even more embarrassed and said:

"My lord, this...should be the next official to welcome you..."

Luo Xin then waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite between us, you know my situation, it's better than yours. You can have a drink with me, and tell me about Zhan Shifu's affairs. "

The two returned to the hall, and after a while, the soldier ran in with a food box, opened the food box, took out four dishes and a jug of wine, put them on the table, and then ran away with the food box.

Luo Xin personally poured a glass of wine for Ma Qingshan, the two touched a glass, Ma Qingshan asked cautiously:

"My lord, you won't blame us, will you?"

Luo Xin smiled wryly and said: "In this situation, what is there to blame? I can't let you starve to death! Forget it, tell me about the scope of my left bastard's jurisdiction."

Hearing what Luo Xin said, Ma Qingshan finally felt relieved, stood up and poured Luo Xin a glass of wine, and then told Luo Xin the scope of his jurisdiction.

After waiting for Ma Qingshan to finish speaking, Luo Xin looked at Ma Qingshan strangely and said, "Master Ma, what you said is what a concubine left should do under normal circumstances. I know, I want to know what should I do, the left bastard, what should I do now that Daming does not have a crown prince?"

Ma Qingshan groaned for a long time, and finally said: "There is nothing to do."

"Nothing to do?" Luo Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course there is nothing to do!" Ma Qingshan said with a wry smile: "Zhan Shifu is for the prince, and there is no prince now, what can we do? Not only you, but also the right bastard. There's nothing to do."

"Nothing at all?"

"Nothing at all!"

Luo Xin and Ma Qingshan looked at each other, and gradually, both of them saw bitterness in each other's eyes.After that, the two of them had nothing to say, and just kept drinking.After a while, Ma Qingshan finally spoke:

"Actually, it's good to have nothing to do. Like the Economic and Economic Bureau, if you have nothing to do, you will get into trouble."

"Why?" Luo Xin asked with interest, he really couldn't think of any troubles in such a Qingshui yamen?
"All kinds of classics of Zhan Shifu are placed in the Bureau of Economics and Economics, but now there are not one of the various classics in the Bureau of Economics and Economics."

"This..." Luo Xin couldn't help but be dumbfounded and said, "They were all stolen and sold?"

"No!" Ma Qingshan said with a smile, "Some of them were stolen and sold, but there was a small part. Most of them were borrowed by those high officials."

"Huh..." Luo Xin let out a breath and said, "I borrowed it out, so I can still ask for it back!"

"Want to come back?" Ma Qingshan shook his head with a light smile and said, "Don't think about it, those books are meat buns beating dogs, once gone, they will never return."

"This... once the incident happens, it will be punished."

"Who says it's not! Why don't you make a fuss!"

Luo Xin really didn't know what to say, and then he tightened his mind and said, "Isn't there something like this happening here? If there is, please tell me quickly, so I can make up for it."

"Don't worry, my lord!" Ma Qingshan said with a smile: "We have nothing to sell here, just a dozen houses, some tables and chairs, even if we want to sell, there is nothing to sell."

"That's good!"

Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief.After talking with Ma Qingshan for a while, he left Zhan Shi's mansion and walked towards his own mansion.
