It is said that the smooth officials are the best subordinates, and the Kaifeng government office is no exception. Whether it is the governor or general magistrate, they usually only serve here for three to five years, but the scribes who work among them have been here for at least ten years. Fang Boyan, the custodian, is one of the representative figures. I have been hanging out in this yamen for thirteen years.
Because of this, Fang Yasi is quite a prestigious presence in the yamen, and even the officials want to give him three points. But today, he was actually scolded by a Dutou in front of everyone. Although he was not reprimanded in person, it still made his face dull and his heart was angry. He immediately took a step forward with a gloomy face: "Sun Dutou, please come back." Be careful, don't let outsiders read the joke and lose the dignity of our Kaifeng Mansion."
Seeing him appear, Lu Fang finally relaxed a little, and Sun Tu also moved his eyes to him: "You are..."
"I am the Fang Yasi that Sun Dutou mentioned." Fang Boyan looked back at Sun Tu with an unkind expression: "If Sun Dutou feels that there is something wrong with them following my instructions and arresting people, just blame me. , why take your anger out on these police officers?" These words were really beautiful, and Huang Qi and the others saw a glimmer of hope, and they felt even more grateful. Moreover, Fang Yasi believed that his long-established reputation in the yamen was enough to suppress the young man in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Tu did not give in as he thought. Instead, he looked him up and down and said, "So it turns out that you sent people out to do private work at will, regardless of the laws of my Kaifeng Mansion. I thought it was strange before. , who can be so lawless, now I have learned a lesson."
"You..." Unexpectedly, Sun Tu would sarcastically ridicule him so mercilessly, which made Fang Boyan's expression change. But before he could say anything, Sun Tu had already said in a cold voice: "You are just a subordinate, and instead of bowing to me, you are so arrogant. Who taught you the rules? You don't understand the rules." It is really ridiculous that a well-behaved person can still run errands in my Kaifeng mansion!"
It was only then that Fang Boyan suddenly realized that the identity of the Dutou in front of him was completely different from the others. He was a ninth-rank official of the imperial court! Perhaps Fang Yasi didn't take the eighth- and ninth-grade officials too seriously on weekdays, especially military attachés, but when the matter was brought to light, he, a subordinate official, could only retreat.
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Sun Tu took another step forward, stared at the other person and shouted: "What, do you still want to argue with me about right and wrong?" The voice suddenly sounded like thunder in his ears, and he was shocked. Fang Boyan's body trembled, his legs softened, and he fell forward.
"No..." Fang Boyan was shocked. If he was really frightened by Sun Tu and fell down, he would really become the laughing stock in Tokyo. At this moment, Sun Tu suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hands, and said: "Fang Yasi, you don't have to pay such a big gift, I can't bear it!"
"Huh?" Fang Boyan was full of doubts. What did he mean? But then he noticed that Sun Tu put his hands on his shoulders, and a strong force came from him, which made his legs, which were already unstable, buckle. With a pop, he knelt down firmly on Sun Tu's shoulders. Before the road.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned. Everyone opened their mouths and looked at the incredible scene in front of them - the yamen has always been very powerful, and Fang Yasi, who was the backstage supporter of Liao Tongzhi, actually had such a heavy influence on Sun Dutou. The ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping? Is this because he knew he had done something wrong, so he wanted to ask for forgiveness from Sun Dutou
Lu Fang even rubbed his eyes with his hand, thinking that he had seen it wrong, but when he put his hand down, he still saw this amazing scene in front of him, and Fang Yasi's face was even more distorted at this time, and his whole body was shaking violently. Trembling is like regret and fear.
Only Fang Boyan himself knew that he reacted out of pain and anger. When he knelt down, he hit the ground hard, and his legs were in pain. But what he couldn't accept even more was that he actually knelt down and paid homage to a Dutou in front of everyone. He was completely humiliated. But what made him feel even more painful was that Sun Tu's hands were still on his shoulders. It looked like he was trying to support him, but in fact, he was using secret strength to prevent him from moving.
What's even more irritating is that Sun Tu said loudly at this time: "Fang Yasi, you just know your mistake. There is no need to do this big ceremony. Get up and speak quickly." The voice spread far away, not only the guards in front of the Yamen arrested Almost everyone listened, and even the people surrounding the outside heard it clearly and showed surprise.
At this moment, Fang Boyan wished he could sew himself in in an orderly manner. He wanted to explain, but at the moment he didn't know how to speak. He wanted to struggle to get up, but his body was pressed down by Sun Tu like a thousand pounds of stone. He was completely unable to move, his true embarrassment reached its peak.
Seeing his face turn from white to red, then from red to blue, and he was about to fall down due to holding back his breath, Sun Tucai changed the strength of his hand and helped him up: "Fang Yasi, please get up quickly. Although you have already I know my mistake, but I still want to handle official business. It is really inappropriate for you to send my officers to handle private matters at will. I will make everything clear to Xue Tong. As for how to deal with them, it has nothing to do with you." After a while, he let go of his hand and waited for the other party's next reaction.
Fang Boyan stared at the other person with a livid face for a moment, and finally could only snort, flick his sleeves, and stagger away. At this time, Sun Tu was very powerful and reasonable. He could not take any advantage at all, so he could only leave first and look for another opportunity to regain his position.
Fang Yasi came in a fierce manner, but ended up making a huge fool of himself without even saying a few words. This made everyone present look at Sun Dutou in a completely different way. Lu Xing felt even more nervous. This young man was far more powerful and sinister than he thought, and he was also more difficult to deal with. It seemed that he had indeed made a mistake, and he should not have challenged his authority so blatantly.
At this time, Sun Tu's eyes fell back on him again: "Lu Fang, do you know your guilt?"
"A humble position..." Lu Fang wanted to argue, but when he met Sun Turu's serious gaze, he felt cold for some reason and was speechless.
"This time you will not be punished for your first offense, but there will be no next time." Sun Tuhan said with a straight face: "Also, Huang Qi, You Laoba and Yan Huan disobeyed orders and bullied good people. Afterwards, I will punish them severely. I will show them here for half a day, and then expel them from my Kaifeng government office and will not use them again!"
As soon as these words came out, he immediately won unanimous applause from the people around him. Although everyone was not very clear about the cause and effect, seeing Sun Tu's righteous appearance and his methods of punishing subordinates still made everyone feel angry, and cheers were naturally inevitable.
Lu Fang had nothing to say at this time, he could only darken his face and lower his head in silence. His reaction fell into the eyes of Shen Liang who was not far away, causing the latter to show an unpredictable smile: "You are just trying to compete with Sun Dutou, but you completely ignored that he is a ninth-grade official. Isn’t this asking for trouble?” Moreover, he believed that assuming the position of head of the government office as an official of Sun Tu must be temporary. In fact, it would not have much impact on his family, so why bother? What about being an enemy of it
At this time, Sun Tu had already turned around and returned to the Yamen. At this time, Cui Lueshang and other men no longer hesitated and quickly followed. After this little turmoil, they finally understood the iron-fisted methods of their leader, and no longer dared to defy him, let alone look down upon him.
After arriving inside, Sun Tu glanced at these subordinates again: "I would like to emphasize that since you are my subordinates, you must act according to my rules from now on. And my rules are to obey orders. , as long as you can do this and make contributions, I will not treat you badly. Even if you make any mistakes, I will come forward to protect you. Do you hear me clearly?"
"I humbly obey my command!" This time, these officers responded loudly without any hesitation. It's a good thing for them that Sun Dutou can be so tough.
Only Lu Fang and Fang Boyan, who had just returned to the second hall, changed their expressions after hearing the news, and a look of resentment flashed in their eyes again.
