Xiangye

Chapter 48
Because the sixth office of the yamen is in charge of specific affairs, generally speaking, it is performed by the magistrate's cronies.

When a county magistrate goes to a place to be an official, he doesn't need to bring anything else with him. The Master of the Sixth House will go there with him, so that he can fully control the local political power.Generally speaking, these six masters are either his family members, attendants, classmates, or the same year.

This time Du Shenghui came to Hancheng to be the county magistrate. First, he came in a hurry. Second, because the battle in Shanxi was fierce, it was inevitable to be rushed.

This time, Gao Wen was appointed as the official, probably in order to pay for his contribution to solving the Baoen Temple case.Moreover, Gao Wen can write and draw, which is really pleasing to the eye.

It is actually not accurate to say that they are officials. The entire Hancheng, only Duzhi County and the county seat, are considered officials appointed by the court.A small classic history, not yet popular, and still a lowly subordinate in terms of household registration.Although the status is low, because it directly governs the prison of a county, according to the system, it still needs to be reported to the Ministry of Officials for approval, and then registered in the register.It's just that there are too many things going on in the court recently, even if such a trivial matter is reported, no one will pay attention to it.

Therefore, Du Zhixian was appointed directly, and we will wait until the court is on the right track next year.

Hearing the compliment from his subordinates, while Gao Wen was happy, he was also troubled.The happy thing is that he is in charge of the torture room and the fast class, and his power in the Hancheng county government has suddenly increased. He is only ranked behind Du Zhixian, Xian Cheng and Huang Wei, the proper fourth master.When I was worried, if my name was entered in the roster of the official department, the status of this subordinate official would be with me for the rest of my life, and I could never change it.

Never mind him, just live well for now.

At that moment, Gao Wen laughed and said, "Brothers, don't mention it when the master says it. You don't have to be so polite. There are still a few days until the [-]th year, and everyone has been working hard for a while. There is nothing to say. It is better to choose a date." When it hits the sun, I will invite everyone to have a drink, and call everyone."

Everyone was overjoyed: "Master Gao is proud, but we are disrespectful."

So Gao Wen gathered his men and horses, and a dozen or so yamen servants went to the best restaurant in the county town and drank for a whole afternoon, until everyone was so drunk that they staggered around.Seeing that the sunset had dyed the sky red, Gao Wen realized that he hadn't told his mother the good news, and was about to tell everyone to break up and go home.

Suddenly, a woman came over and said "Ouch": "I looked familiar to the young man from a distance, and I knew who it was, but I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a high-ranking official."

Gao Wen also knew this person. His surname was Gan. He lived in Tianshui Hutong in the east of the city.Not to mention the poverty of the family, he likes to eat wine and play leaf cards, and likes to dress fancy. After all, he is a lazy person.

On weekdays, she makes a living as a matchmaker on the surface, but in fact she also pimps and buys and sells people in private. She has been on the street for more than [-] years, but she is quite famous.

When Shi Youyi went missing a while ago, the fast team found her and extorted two coins from her, so I know her.

"Gao Daguanren...the name is not good, I don't like it...uh!" Gao Wen was already drunk, his head was broken, and he burped a long leek dumpling, spraying it on his old face: "What a high official , When I am someone, this is an antonym, do you understand the antonym... I am drunk, I have to go home to see my old lady, let's go!"

In the novel, all the high officials seem to be villains, such as Ximen Qing...

After speaking, Gao Wen threw the ingot of silver on the table, and walked out of the restaurant surrounded by his subordinates.

Seeing the silver thrown by Gao Wen, Mrs. Gan's eyes lit up, and she chased after her with a flattering face: "Master Gao, you are now the confidant of the county magistrate, and you have become the master of the torture chamber, and everyone in the city knows about it. Senior official, you are going to be popular now, the old woman came to thank you immediately when she heard the news, wishing you a happy new year." Lian repeated blessings.

"Mrs. Gan, you motherfucker is looking for an opportunity, go and go!" It turned out that they came to ask for rewards.

Recently, Gao Wen got the manuscript remuneration, which made him a lot of money, which naturally attracted the attention of Mrs. Gan.

There was a yamen servant who was impatient and stretched out his hand to push.

Pushing it so hard that Mrs. Gan couldn't stop screaming.

Gao Wen was so flattered by her flattery that he stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face, so he threw a piece of broken silver of one penny over, pointed at her and said, "Well, I'll let you be more happy. You can talk about it when you're a matchmaker in the future. If you let me know that you are doing the immoral thing of human trafficking again, don’t blame the country’s law for being ruthless.”

"Yes, yes, there are high-ranking officials to take care of me. How dare I do that? If you let me know that I say such dirty things again, you can slap my face to death." Mrs. Gan did not leave: "Grand Officer Man, I come to see you today, and I have one more important thing to ask."

"Important matter? Let's hear it." Seeing her coming in a hurry, Gao Wen really thought that something happened on the streets of Hancheng.As the head of the fast shift, the master of the punishment room is in charge of a county prison, which is equivalent to the director of the public security bureau and the director of the neighborhood committee in later generations.Since the people in the area under his jurisdiction came to him, he always had to receive them, otherwise he would be negligent in his administration.

"Yes, sir, listen to the old man." He put his mouth next to Gao Wen's ear.

Seeing that face, Gao Wen was disgusted for a while: "If you have something to say, you don't have to do this."

Probably feeling that the leek taste in Gao Wen's mouth was too strong, Mrs. Gan took a step back and smiled flatteringly: "The thing is, Zheng Laoqi in Liuyin Hutong, I wonder if Gao Daguan has heard of it?"

"Zheng Lao Qi, I know, he opened a big car shop, didn't he?" Gao Wen nodded.

Zheng Laoqi, Gao Wen, really knows that the big car shop he runs is a small hotel on the surface, but in fact it is a kiln. Cheap way to entertain.Some policemen in the squad would go shopping every month when they got money.

"Yes, yes, his shop was taken down by the old lady, and it has been closed again."

"Oh, I've become a boss, congratulations, congratulations." Gao Wen never went to this kind of place. Firstly, at this time, western venereal diseases had been introduced into China. Once infected with willows, it would be fatal; This kind of thing is also very disgusting: "Since you are doing a legitimate business now, you must abide by the law in public, and you must pay taxes. Is there anything else?"

Mrs. Gan said with a smile: "Then Zheng Laoqi doesn't know how to do business. The dozen or so girls in the store are all old, weak, sick and disabled. After working in Hancheng for so many years, the customers are tired of them. I will let them pay for it by themselves." Let them go home and get married. With this money, I bought six more young girls. It will open tonight, and I want to invite high-ranking officials to come over to cheer and train the newcomers, so that they can know How to serve people. You don’t need high-ranking officials for this money, you can go there, and the small shop will be full of splendor. Not only that, but there are also red envelopes.”

No money, prostitution?All the yamen servants laughed and said, Master Gao, such a good thing is rare, you have to go.

Gao Wen was also dumbfounded, this is asking me to become a teacher in the past... thanks to this old beggar who figured it out?
He said he didn't need money, but he really went to play. He is also a fourth master after all, and he doesn't recognize people when he wears his pants. Are you embarrassed?I'm afraid that a lot of money will be spent, but Mrs. Gan knows how to do business... Also, Mrs. Gan is probably not just trying to please me, Gao Wen.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen rolled his eyes: "Girl Gan, tell the truth, what do you want to do when you invite me over today?"

When he turned his face, he naturally carried a murderous look on his body.

The other yamen servants also shouted at the same time: "Damn woman, say it!"

Mrs. Gan's complexion turned pale, she paused for a long time, and then said: "A few days ago, the old man was hanging out in the teahouse, drinking tea and playing horses with others, and heard the storyteller talking about the deeds of the high official and Na Yanni. I really admire it. Who would have thought that a high-ranking official is so good at playing in the boudoir. Those gestures are really unheard of and unseen. Now, people all over the city are telling about the deeds of a high-ranking official. Everyone is saying that the high officials are really romantic, which is admirable. If the high officials can go to the mother-in-law to train those girls, even if they learn everything from you, it will be inexhaustible. If the people in the city knew that you brought out those women, they wouldn't follow that crow."

"It's a pursuit." Gao Wen corrected.

"That's right, that's right, it's what you want." Mrs. Gan said with a smile, "As expected of a high-ranking official, he has knowledge and skills."

All the yamen servants burst into laughter, and Qi Qi said, if those girls really learned the tune of the master, they would like to try it, even if it is more expensive.

"It must be Chen Guaizi, damn it... Mrs. Gan, who do you think I am!" Gao Wen understood everything. Mrs. Gan is acting as the spokesperson of the brothel to advertise!
His face was livid and his hands trembled with anger.

Seeing that Gao Wen was angry, a yamen servant immediately went to slap Mrs. Gan across the face: "Get lost!"

This slap made Mrs. Gan's eyes stare, "Gao Wen, what are you doing?"

Gao Wen: "Gowen... Get lost!"

Mrs. Gan did not leave, with hatred in her eyes, she straightened up suddenly, and shouted: "Gao Wen, don't think that you are someone because you are a master, you are not ranked in this Hancheng, how dare you smack an old man?" Erbazi, beating a dog depends on the owner! Don’t offend me, I don’t know yet.”

Gao Wen grabbed the yamen servant who was about to make a move, and asked in a deep voice: "Then tell me, who is the person behind you?" The old beggar was so respectful and rude, which made Gao Wen very curious.Moreover, Mrs. Gan was poor enough to be cheated and abducted everywhere a few days ago, but now she owns a brothel and becomes the boss. Where did she get so much money?

Mrs. Gan proudly said: "Actually, I tell you that the yard opened by the old man is the work of the third master. If you hit me, you don't give the third master face. Today, you have to go with me. Those six kiln sisters, don't you sleep You have to sleep too. Until tomorrow the rooster crows and the spring breeze is six degrees, you are not allowed to go home! Also, the money that should be paid for the makeup is also indispensable to the old man."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao Wen's hand.

The third master is Huang Wei, it seems that he is the boss of that brothel.Thinking of how powerful he was, all the yamen servants felt a chill in their hearts, and at the same time they looked at Gao Wen with a hint of sympathy: "The spring breeze is six degrees, six kiln sisters with rich experience and countless people. Even if Master Gao is as strong as a cow, I'm afraid They also have to be squeezed out. The relationship between men and women is like a person eating, the first piece of steamed bun is to satisfy hunger, the second is to enjoy, the third and fourth... the sixth, it is fatal."
