In Bianjing City, a city with a million people and a lot of money, although the Kaifeng government office occupies a large area, the number of officials in it is even greater. Naturally, it is impossible to allocate too many signed houses to accommodate everyone. Logically speaking, , only a few major officials are equipped with their own separate detention rooms, while others can only share a room with a few people. Naturally, military officials like Dutou can only mix with a group of police officers.
However, the treatment of Sun Tu, a ninth-grade official, was obviously a little different. Sun Fu quickly helped him find a vacant room. Although the room was not big, it was quite rare in the yamen. Sun Tu was quite satisfied with this arrangement. At least the respect he deserved had been given to him. So when he saw that he had finished everything and it was noon, he invited his subordinate Ashi to the nearby restaurant. Eat wine.
This Sun Fu was really a bit greedy. When he heard this, he only hesitated a little before he agreed. After all, a new official has taken office, and he has good intentions, so he can't lose face. At that moment, the two of them went straight out of the government office and went into the Chunming Building nearby, where they ordered some wine and food and chatted while eating.
At the beginning, Sun Tu just chatted with him, and inadvertently mentioned that he relied on Tong Guan's help to achieve his current status. This made Sun Fu respect him even more - ordinary court officials might despise Sun Tu's choice to cling to an eunuch, but a petty official like him would naturally only envy him.
And this also made Sun Fu respect Sun Tu more and more, because he knew that even though Sun Guanren was just an inconspicuous head of the capital now, there was no guarantee that he would skyrocket in the future. Having a good relationship with him now will naturally bring some benefits in the future. Even if it doesn't have any effect, there will be one less terrible enemy, right
With this in mind and a few cups of yellow soup, Sun Fu's grip on his mouth became much looser. Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask about the specific situation in the yamen. First, they inquired about some situations of Fu Yin and his immediate superior, Xue Tongpan, and the other party naturally answered them one by one. For example, Han Fuyin was gentle and lenient towards others, while Xue Tongpan was more steady, and in the next year he would only need If there were no mistakes, they would be promoted again, etc. Sun Fu drunkenly told them all.
Sun Tu secretly remembered it in his mind, and then asked what he was most concerned about: "How many heads are there in the yamen now? What errands are they responsible for on weekdays, and how are they?"
"Our Kaifeng Mansion is not like other prefecture and county yamen. There are too many things that need to be dealt with, so there are six permanent governors in the yamen. Each of these governors is responsible for their own affairs, mostly maintaining public order in the city and apprehending some criminals. The thieves. These captains have always followed Xue Tong's judgment, and they have fulfilled their duties." Sun Fu replied casually, "It's just that besides them, there are eight deputy captains, but the situation is a bit subtle."
"How do you say this?" Sun Tu immediately became energetic and quickly filled a glass of wine for him and asked.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, there is nothing wrong with the other deputy governors. Even Shen Liang, Shen Dutou and Lu Fang, Lu Dutou, may not be happy to see you, Sun Dutou, come to my Kaifeng government office. Because after the position of Dutou becomes vacant, , the two of them were the most likely to hold this position. But in the end..." He smiled as he spoke, and his meaning was already clear.
"Shen Liang and Lu Fang?" Sun Tu nodded thoughtfully and remembered the names of these two people. Indeed, no matter who it is, once the official position that they might have successfully obtained is taken away by someone else, they will definitely feel aggrieved and even blame the person who took away their opportunity. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and don't let them find any loopholes.
Later, Sun Tu asked again about Dutou's errand, but this time Sun Fu couldn't give a clear answer. After all, he is just a supervisor, and he specializes in helping Xue Yuanpeng handle paperwork. As for what the captains do specifically, it is not his place to interfere or care.
After drinking for a while, Sun Tucai helped Sun Yasi, who was already drunk, back to the Yamen. From the fact that the other party dared to drink so much at noon, it can be seen that the rules in the yamen are not very big. At least Xue Tongpan will not punish his subordinates for such a trivial matter.
And when Sun Tu returned to the custody room and felt a little idle, a servant suddenly came over and said that Judge Xue Tong had asked him to come over to discuss something. This surprised him a little, because when he thought about it, he had to be idle for a long time. Why did the other party come to discuss things with him so quickly
But since it was his superior who called him, Sun Tu didn't dare to neglect and rushed over immediately. After entering the official hall, he also found that there were two other men standing below with their hands tied. One of them was fair-skinned, the other was dark and strong, and they were both looking at him with their eyes.
After being greeted by Sun Tu, Xue Yuanpeng smiled and said: "Sun Dutou, you came just in time this time. I was having a headache about some things before. I heard that you are very good at martial arts, and you also fought with me when you were in Yuncheng County. Have the local thieves fought against each other and made achievements?"
"The judge is indeed well-informed. The official has indeed practiced some martial arts, and he was lucky enough to help the government defeat the bandits."
"Then I guess you must have a lot of experience in stabilizing local security. Nowadays, there are actually many gangsters in Tokyo who take advantage of the government's shortage of manpower and always act recklessly, and many people have suffered greatly. I, Kaifeng Mansion, also arrested Some people were brought to justice, but the problem could not be solved, and even led to the impeachment of the Yushitai. The governor once thought of taking heavy measures to rectify it, and I was convinced, but there were many mistakes in the deployment of manpower. Difficulty."
After talking for a while, he looked at Sun Tu and said with a smile: "Since you have this ability and happen to be the head of my Kaifeng Mansion, please help me and Fu Yin share the worries."
Sun Tu was slightly stunned. Did the other party really arrange such an important errand on the day he arrived? This is really contrary to his previous judgment. Is there any problem here? But at this time, it was impossible to give him a chance to refuse. After all, he was his immediate boss, so he was just being polite.
So after only thinking briefly, Sun Tu clasped his fists and said: "Since the official is already a subordinate of Kaifeng Mansion, the governor and Tongpan have orders to follow. I wonder how Tongpan will arrange it?"
"It's very simple. I have assigned you twenty police officers. You take them to inspect the Dongcheng area to ensure the peace there. You live in Dongcheng, so you must be quite familiar with it. This matter will not be a problem. You?" Xue Yuanpeng said with a smile.
Sun Tu frowned slightly: "Only twenty people, I'm afraid it's not enough..." As he spoke, he noticed that the other party's face changed slightly, so he added: "I wonder if I can invite more people to help?"
"This is up to you to decide. I just want to see the result." Xue Yuanpeng did not make it difficult for Sun Tu on this point, and then said: "Because I know that you didn't know enough about some things when you first came to my Kaifeng Mansion and my subordinates, so I Let Shen Liang and Lu Fang help you, now you can rest assured, right?"
"What?" Sun Tu glanced at the two people next to him in surprise, and the two people quickly threw their hands at him: "Shen Liang (Lu Fang) has seen Sun Dutou before." The fair-skinned one is Shen Liang, the black man The man is Lu Fang.
Sun Tu smiled and clasped his fists at them in return, but his heart trembled. It turned out that Xue Tongpan had dug a hole for himself here. These two people are obviously not angry that they have taken their positions. Now if they are allowed to work with them together, there will definitely be many problems.
However, he couldn't refuse at this time, so he could only use troops to cover up the water and soil, and then he agreed: "Everything will be decided by the general judge."
"That's good. I hope the three of you can work together to improve the atmosphere in Bianjing City." Xue Yuanpeng nodded with satisfaction and motioned for the others to leave.
Sun Tu smiled bitterly, and then exited the official hall with the two deputy chiefs, and took them to his signing room. Since the three of them are going to work together on errands, they must understand each other.
However, Sun Tu had no idea about the matter for the time being, so he only chatted with the two of them for a few words, said some words of intimacy, and then let them leave.
After being some distance away from Sun Tu's signing room, Lu Fang suddenly said: "Shen Yidao, do you think we should let Sun Tutou know that this seat is not easy to sit in?" Shen Liang has a good skill. Sword skills, so he was called so by his colleagues, and when he mentioned the title Sun Dutou, Lu Fang's tone was rather stiff and unhappy.
Shen Liang just responded vaguely: "This job is not easy to handle. Didn't He Dutou encounter a lot of trouble before?"
"Hmph, even a ninth-grade official can't just sit in this position casually." Lu Fanghan said with a cold face, becoming more and more explicit.
Shen Liang, on the other hand, did not answer the question, just thinking about something with a half-smile...
