Chapter 75: Officials and Factions
The county government office is in need of land, and ordinary people are not allowed to trespass, except for those who have made great achievements. Wang Fulin, who had previously regarded the back door of the county magistrate as his back door, was even more exceptional. ▲∴ This morning he had just visited Ye County Zun and made a vacant wolf to bring a lot of Ye County Zun's greetings to the house. He passed by again in the afternoon and entered the county government from the front door openly.
After entering the main gate and the Yimen Gate, the most spacious courtyard in the entire county government office. On the north side is the lobby, and on both sides are the six rooms, Chengfa Room, and the Shop Chief Officer and other clerks. When the She County Government was originally in the prefecture city, it was the same as most county government offices in the early Ming Dynasty. The six rooms were arranged according to the left and right of the hall. The west wing room was the official, household, ritual, and the east wing room was the military, punishment, and labor, which was exactly the same as the six departments of the court.
But as time goes by, the responsibilities of each house are heavy, especially the responsibilities of the household house are the most serious. When She County encircled the county town and built a county government, it gradually distributed the money and grain department, and the horse department was separated from the military house. Now, the household house and the official house occupy the west, excluding the ritual house to the east.
Now there are four rooms in the east wing, and the layout is different from the six departments of the court. The Central Department of Justice in the Court is heavy and does not have much real power. However, the torture room in the county government is the most frightening thing for thousands of people. If you offend them, make some complaints in front of the master and return to the ticket, you will have to peel off even if you don’t die. At this moment, Zhang Min, the official of the torture room, heard that Wang Fulin asked to see him, so he smiled and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick. Then he stood up slowly and said to the lower Dianjie and Baiyishu: "When Zhao Sicheng provoked him before, he went straight to Ye County Zun. This time he came to see me."
"Si Lie, that young master is highly valued by the county..."
Hearing a whispered reminder by a scholar beside him, Zhang Min raised his eyebrows disdainfully. He was not the idiot Zhao Sicheng. As a She native, he actually sat tilted his butt and helped the powerful men in the five counties to plot against his own people. He even foolishly threatened the county magistrate. In the end, the position of the official was not even hot. He sat upright, and there was the first family of the township official in She County, Wang Shangning, and Wang, who was the first in the township of She County, who was well-off, and he also offered Ye County politeness. He was afraid of a young scholar? If it was Wang Daokun's son, he would naturally have to be a little careful, but he was just a clan nephew who was not just a wrong clan.
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Min just smiled. When he left the official room, he saw the little scholar wearing a blue shirt paced back and forth in front of the room, as if he was a little anxious, and he became even more convinced. The file that Wang Daoguan sent to report the case was still on his desk, which is another reason why he was not afraid of Wang Fulin. He would never admit that in the county Zun study, the little scholar disrupted the old master Wang's plan, and he forced Ye County Zun to take charge of the equal-to-plate summer tax silk as soon as possible, and this was the real reason why he didn't like the other party!
"Mr. Wang."
Wang Fulin then raised his head and saw that it was Zhang Min coming out. He politely bowed to the other party, but his expression was a bit noble. Although he was asking for help today, Zhang Min in the torture room was not a familiar person like Zhao Wu, who was like Liu Hui and Zhao Wu. With Wang Daoguan's reminder, he certainly could not reveal all his trump cards. So, when he was speaking, his tone brought a bit of a stiffness that he would not ask for help.
"Zhang Sili, because of the traitor, my family is almost in a state of trouble. I wonder when the result will be found?"
"Mr. Wang, I have to report this matter, but I'm going to say that there are countless cases in the county government office, and there are too many fraud cases like this. This is not to say that a house that can solve the case and get things done immediately. It requires the fast class to conduct in-depth investigation and the strong class to help run. Even if you cast a wide net, it may not be possible to have a result. Even if you are anxious, I can only say please wait patiently." Zhang Min is ten years older than Ye Junyao, the county magistrate, and he speaks a bit of an official voice. Seeing that Wang Fulin's face was stiff, he bowed and said, "I can understand Wang Xiaomao's eagerness, but I dare not leave the ranks of the punishment room. I still have to go back to do things."
He said this and went into the house. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a group of people who were not working at all, and they were whispering in it. He shouted with great authority: "Everything is better! The documents are almost piled up, so how can I chat? Didn't there be a murder case a few days ago? This will be solved within a deadline. If you can't solve it, you have to report to the county magistrate to the pursuit of the competition!"
Wang Fulin, who was standing outside the torture room, heard the voice inside and had a clear understanding of the torture room Zhang Min. Wang Daoguan was really not wrong. This person was backing his back, so he didn't take him seriously. But on the big side, at least people can't make mistakes. He is not on the same order of magnitude as a fool like Zhao Sicheng. No wonder one was in charge of the torture room early, while the other survived for so many years. It was not until Liu Hui had a problem and was promoted to take charge of the household house. He fell into trouble in a few days. This is the difference!
Wang Fulin thought about it and turned around and left, but instead of leaving the county government office, he walked towards the west wing opposite. Compared with the nominal official's house, the household house occupied three rooms and opened the doors out, and then he saw white-clothed bookshops constantly coming in and out. He called a book office to ask someone to help him send a message, but in a short while, Liu Hui came out.
Seeing that Wang Fulin came here to find him without any hesitation, Liu Hui had been hiding this relationship from his superiors, colleagues and subordinates. At this moment, he was shocked and immediately met: "Why is the little official here?"
Everyone in and out of the surroundings looked here. Wang Fulin signaled Liu Hui to leave a little while, and then he told him that he had invited Liu Hong to the house to help the kitchen. Seeing that Liu Hui's face turned blue and white, he coughed dryly and said, "I really don't know much about the county town. If there is no one at home to help the kitchen, a lot of people will be almost killed by lunch. I can only ask my sister-in-law to help..."
"No, the little official misunderstood, the villain is not unwilling to..."
Liu Hui's face turned red and he was really grateful. After all, although almost all the white servants who blackmailed him were spoiled and Zhao Sicheng fell, the money could not be returned. Both his parents died, and he had married his wife for many years but had no children. At that time, when the officials were in the glory of the officials, their relatives and distant relatives all wanted to give women to him as concubines, or they beg for help. Most of them refused except Liu San, so he and many of them committed evil deeds.
After Liu San, he hated these relatives who had not succeeded enough to make trouble, and there was no one to help him when he fell. Now that he turned over, he simply cut off contact with them completely. But in this way, his economic pressure became even more intense. Now he is not a household official, and has not fully recovered to his peak status. After returning, he dared not make any money. Zhao Hong not only got a job to supplement his family's livelihood, but also made him not have to worry about his wife being bullied when he was not at home!
When Wang Fulin heard Liu Hui squeezed out this sentence, he stopped answering, and said with a smile: "I told my sister-in-law before that I would give her one or two silver dollars a month. Because she had to help prepare at least two meals, you can still make do with the county government at noon, so I can't eat dinner, so what I mean is, you might as well get a bunch of me, and pick her up on the way, and then pick her up."
"No, no, no, that's even worse! She can cook some home-cooked dishes, but she is not a good cook. How can she get so much wages? And how can a villain disturb you!"
"First, I don't recognize many people in the city, I only trust your wife; second, I have to cook home-cooking meals, not a tavern; third, I just ran into a nail that was neither soft nor hard in the torture room. You have to help me. What's the point of having a dinner every day?" Wang Fulin refuted all the reasons why Liu Hui could refuse, and then brought out the third reason.
Liu Hui was stunned and quietly looked at the torture room. Then he whispered: "Will there be no need to hide the relationship between the villain and the little official in the future?"
"Your wife is helping the kitchen at my house. You can see anyone's house. What else can you hide? If someone asks you, you will say that you were desperate to come to me to sincerely apologize. As for how you got Ye County Zun, you can just make it up by yourself. It's okay to let people know that you are the county Zun. After all, you are not as good as before. You are still under the influence of your own house. You have not yet become a regular."
Since the official Zhang Min of the Criminal Officer was from Wang Shangning, why couldn't he raise Ye County Zun to form his own power? Even if Wang Daokun is in the county government, he is different from his own people.
When Wang Fulin said this, he lowered his voice: "By the way, no matter what method you use, go back and get the files of the fraud cases from the county magistrate after taking office from the torture room for me to see."
