Chapter 292 The new county magistrate
Chapter 292 The new county magistrate
While several people were discussing how to deal with these three cancerous families, a new notice was posted at the door of the Yamen. Soon, many ordinary people who had nothing to do gathered here.
"Hey, Wang Wu, what's written on this?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"You came early and you didn't even know this."
"Is there anyone who can read? Come and identify me?"
Everyone was talking about it. Those who can be posted in front of this yamen are usually major events, such as recruiting troops, or increasing taxes or corvee. In short, they are eager to learn about it so that they can prepare early.
"Two adults, what is written in this notice? Can you tell us about it?"
Someone asked the bamboo pole and earth egg standing at the door, hoping to find some answers from them.
"Well, if you ask me, I can't read either!"
Zhugan touched his head and said.
"Hey, I do have some news."
Didan on the side began to speak, and immediately, the people around him took a few steps forward and gathered around.
"I just heard that there seems to be a new magistrate in our county."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused a sensation on the court.
For ordinary people like them, this is a real big event, even bigger than changing the emperor.
No matter how powerful the emperor is, he has no time to care about them on weekdays. But if the county magistrate has some background, then here he can only cover the sky with one hand, and no one will care about how they want to toss them.
Similarly, if the county magistrate was better, they could live a little easier.
"What about the original county magistrate? Has he quit?"
"I was just thrown into prison a while ago. It would be great if I could survive. Why do you want to be a county magistrate?"
"That corrupt official deserves to die! But tell me, who will this new county magistrate be?"
"Who is not the same? In this era, where are the good officials?"
"Keep your voice down. If word spreads, your head will be lost."
"You can't say that. Doesn't our Chief Yan treat us very well on weekdays?"
"That's true. It's a pity that Mr. Yan is so honest and honest. He never even had a chance to be promoted in his life. It's a pity."
Even so, they had already lost hope in the government.
Since the new emperor came to the throne, Degao County has had three county magistrates in the past ten years, all of them corrupt officials, which have turned the entire county into a mess and made the people miserable.
This is not just the case in their county, but also in surrounding counties and even in most counties across the country.
But the good thing is that now that Zhao Cang serves as the county guard, the people's lives have been relieved.
"Hey, please give in, Mr. Yu is here."
A shout rang out, and everyone turned to look. A well-dressed young man came with a folding fan in his hand.
This man is Mr. Yu, whose father is in business. His family has a lot of money, and he also knows a few words.
Compared with those young masters from big families, Mr. Yu doesn't have much airs about him. He can talk to the people in the county on weekdays, so he is somewhat famous.
"Master Yu, you came at the right time. Come and take a look. What is written on it?"
Everyone consciously made a way for the young master.
Mr. Yu came closer, looked at Zhao Gao, and said:
"The former county magistrate Cheng Zong was embezzled and bribed, colluded with gangsters, and brought trouble to all parties. He was sentenced to death and ordered to be executed after Qiu. Lin Xiaofan helped the Qingzhou Army repel the intruders in the battle of Fangcheng. He had numerous achievements and was a loyal, filial and honest man. , recommended by Zhaocang County Sheriff, appointed Magistrate of Degao County, and will take office tomorrow."
After the words fell, there was a brief silence on the field.
Wen Zhugan and Di Dan were both stunned on the spot, looking at each other with disbelief on their faces.
Lin Xiaofan, they just met this afternoon. They had been to his house a few months ago, but they were said to be impoverished. Why did he suddenly become the county magistrate in the past few months?
Wait, Fang Cheng helped the Qingzhou Army repel the intruders in the first battle. Could it be that this person is the famous Counselor Lin?
Are you kidding me? How old is he this year?
"Lin Xiaofan, is he the counselor Lin who made several strategies to repel the 200,000 coalition troops?"
"It's him. I saw him in person during the war before. With him as the magistrate of our county, we hope to live a better life."
Among the crowd, a one-armed man spoke.
He was once a member of the Qingzhou Army and lost an arm during the decisive battle in Fangcheng. Fortunately, Doctor Hua happened to be there and rescued him from hell.
"Tell me, what does Lin Xiaofan look like?"
"The man looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was very handsome. But when he commanded the battle, he was unambiguous at all, just like a veteran general who had been fighting for many years. After a few strategies, he directly defeated the 200,000-strong coalition army. Beat him until he is defeated and flee."
After hearing this description, Didan and Zhugan's thoughts came true. That Lin Xiaofan was really the counselor Lin who planned the battle in Qingzhou.
For a moment, the two of them were nervous, wondering if they had done anything inappropriate when they met just now.
Although their attitude is pretty good, based on their experience, what does the county magistrate pay most attention to? It's face.
As long as they don't keep their posture to the lowest level, they may make others unhappy.
Moreover, when they had contact with Lin Xiaofan before, although they were not offended, they did not show much good looks.
I just don’t know if Lin Xiaofan will blame them for this.
"Counsel Lin, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old? He has done something like this at such a young age. He has a bright future. Maybe he can manage the county better after taking office."
"He personally serves as the magistrate of our county. This is a great news."
Many people in the field started to praise him.
However, most people still looked indifferent and left silently.
Over the years, they have been oppressed by the wealthy families and officials in the county. Their relatives have continued to die, and they have long lost hope in the government.
Lin Xiaofan is indeed a talented person in the field of warfare, but Da Qianguo is not small even if it is small. Is there still not enough talent in the country? Among those high-ranking officials in the country, which one is not a talented person? Aren’t they still corrupt and accepting bribes and failing to govern the country?
Therefore, no matter how famous Lin Xiaofan was, it would be difficult for them to trust him.
Lin Xiaofan and Yan Xing discussed matters until it was almost dark before they prepared to leave.
At this time, the crowd gathered at the county government office had dispersed. When Zhugan and Didan saw him coming out, they came all the way to greet him with smiling faces and lowered their stature a little.
Seeing this appearance, Lin Xiaofan and Song Shang were a little confused. What's wrong with these two people? Even if it’s a welcome, it won’t be like this, right?
"Counselor Lin became the county magistrate at a young age. He is truly a hero among men."
Zhugan spoke first.
"Counsel Lin, congratulations. If anything happens in the future, just tell me. By the way, I still have an ancestral ginseng at home. I will bring it to you tomorrow to replenish your health."
Didan said respectfully.
"Yes, I also have an ancestral jade at home. I will bring it to you tomorrow."
Zhugan spoke again.
The two of them just hoped that their previous actions would not leave a bad impression on Lin Xiaofan.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofan realized that these two people already knew about his becoming the county magistrate.
"Eggs and bamboo poles, there is no need to be so polite between us, just be normal."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and said.
"You can keep the jade and ginseng for yourself. I'm going to leave now. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Song Shang pushed Lin Xiaofan away, leaving only the earth egg and bamboo pole in place.
The two looked at each other and Zhugan asked:
"Brother, my brain is not as good as yours. I can't use it. Does Counselor Lin forgive us?"
When Didan heard this, he shook his head slightly, which immediately made Zhugan a little scared.
"It seems to me that Counselor Lin doesn't care about these little things at all, let alone forgives them."
