Bai Shan sighed, if Governor Guo didn't make trouble for him, he would actually be quite free, because the county magistrates and magistrates under him were all used.
Unlike in other counties where the magistrate of the county is elevated, except for the county magistrate, the power is delegated to the master. Bai Shan basically entrusts the county affairs to the magistrate, and the law and order to the county magistrate Dong.
Therefore, Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei are both real power now, and the power is not small.
It is also because of this that Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei are very concerned about Bai Shan and the county government.
At the age of prime of life, who doesn't want to build a career
Not to mention Dong Xianwei who has been neglected all the time, even Fang Xiancheng is very happy to have Bai Shan as his boss.
He is grateful for the kindness of magistrate Lu, but he has to say that even if he is a confidant of magistrate Lu, magistrate Lu can't entrust so many county affairs to him, and then he goes to the countryside every now and then to stay away from the county. Ya.
Feelings come from getting along with each other, and people's hearts are also biased. Fang Xiancheng's heart is a little biased at this time, and he can't help discussing with Dong Xianwei, "Do you want to ask Lu County Magistrate for help? It's not a problem that the county magistrate always hides outside. Now the Song family has sent people to guard outside the county office. A person from Qingzhou City comes to ask every other day. I don't think the county magistrate will be able to hide for many days. If he doesn't come back, I'm afraid Qingzhou City will send people directly to the countryside to look for it."
It would be ugly if County Magistrate Bai was invited back like that.
Dong Xianwei: "This is going against Governor Guo, can County Magistrate Lu help?"
Fang Xiancheng was not sure, so he could only say: "Try?"
Dong Xianwei encouraged him, "You are familiar with Lu County Magistrate, you go and try."
Fang Xiancheng: ...
He scratched his head, and finally sighed: "Tomorrow, I'll find an excuse to go to Qingzhou City."
Dong Xianwei thought for a while and said: "Didn't the county magistrate Bai say that Ding will be recruited to repair roads and water conservancy in June this year? Why don't you take the official document to Qingzhou City for approval?"
As long as this kind of service is not a large-scale transfer and occupying farming time, there is basically no need to report to the governor's office, and the county can make up its own mind, but the report is also correct, it seems closer, and the most important thing is that they need a reason to go now. Governor's House.
Dong Xianwei felt that his idea was good, so he looked at Fang Xiancheng and waited for praise.
Fang Xiancheng glanced at him and said: "I will take a rest tomorrow, can't I take my wife and children to Qingzhou City to buy some cloth and utensils? Why do you have to go through the hands of the governor's office for this kind of service? What if he and the county magistrate Bai get angry?" What should we do if we live here, will we still recruit servants this year?"
County Captain Dong: ... That makes sense, he thought less.
Fangxian Cheng took his family to Qingzhou City the next day, and at this time, the annoyed Guo Jieshi was also thinking about whether to go to Beihai County.
He glanced at the coral tree on the ancient shelf, stepped forward to touch it, it was as bright as jade, it was indeed a rare coral tree.
Since I have taken the benefits of others, I have to relieve the disaster for others, otherwise this thing will definitely be returned.
Governor Guo was not very willing.
After thinking about it, he still called out his servants loudly, and ordered: "Let them prepare the carriages and horses, and let's go to Beihai County for a walk."
"When will Lord Lang set off?"
Guo Inspector said: "Today is late, let's do it tomorrow."
After thinking about it, he still didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with Bai Shan, so he said: "Send someone to Beihai County to spread the word, saying that I will go to inspect the county tomorrow, and ask their county magistrate to wait at the county government office."
The servants responded and sent someone to Beihai County to inform.
The official document was given to County Captain Dong, and County Captain Dong to Zhou Man. He said distressedly: "Master Zhou, Governor Guo is here in person. Do you want to call Lord Bai back?"
Zhou Man put away the official document and asked, "Do you know where your Lord Bai is?"
"In Dajiawa, the county seat is not far away." So if you go to inform now, Bai Shan can still come back in the dark, or rush back early the next morning.
Zhou Man glanced up at him and said, "No, you don't know."
"Ah?" County Captain Dong looked at her in bewilderment.
Zhou Man said: "I mean, you don't know where Bai County Magistrate is, and I don't know either. He went to the countryside. Beihai County is so big, and there are many remote and poor places in it. Who knows where he took his people? Important I have searched in several places, but I can't find anyone, the county affairs are in charge of you and Fang County Prime Minister, you should entertain Governor Guo first."
Dong Xianwei understood, "...Master Zhou, tomorrow is a holiday, Fang Xiancheng has gone to Qingzhou City."
Do you want him to face Governor Guo alone
He can't do it.
Seeing that his forehead started to sweat, Zhou Man didn't make things difficult for him, and said, "Forget it, let's treat him at the medical office."
Zhou Man thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that the medical office in Beihai County is on the right track. People from some villages have come to see the doctor one after another in the past few days. There are still a lot of patients. It's just for Governor Guo to see the results. Qingzhou It's time for the city's medical department to start up..."
These all need money.
Dong Xianwei also heard Zhou Man's potential meaning, and was speechless for a while.
So is Governor Guo lucky or unlucky to come here
The next day, Zhou Man took out his crimson official robe and put it on, then sat in the county government office with a cattail fan and waited for Guo Assassin to come to his door.
Dong Xianwei was walking around in the yard, craned his neck to look out from time to time, and the other officials who knew that the governor was coming were also wandering around the yard nervously.
Zhou Man felt that the lobby was still a bit hot, so he changed from the chair to sit on the porch, blowing the occasional wind while fanning the cattail fan. Seeing how nervous they were, he couldn't help but say, "I said, I'm going to rest today." Mu, don't you stop taking a bath?"
Even Master Song didn't come home, and came to the county government to work overtime for the first time. He smiled and said: "Lord Zhou, the subordinate officials have never seen an official as big as Guo Cishi. I was nervous and curious for a while, which made my lord laugh." gone."
Zhou Man tapped his official robe with his cattail fan and said, "Look here, look here, what do you mean I haven't seen such a big official, isn't this official just sitting here?"
The people in the yard turned their heads to look at Zhou Man when they heard the words.
She was wearing a crimson official robe, and she had also put on an official hat. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her face was fair and tender. Because the official robe was made for men with a round collar, it was indisputable whether she wore it...
Zhou Man raised his eyelids and glanced at them lightly, and asked, "Is it pretty?"
Everyone woke up in a jerk, and immediately turned their heads away, not daring to look any more.
Zhou Man snorted and said, "Isn't it the fourth grade? It's worth all the fuss. The fourth grade of my official is still a Beijing official."
This seems to be true. In terms of nobility, it seems that Zhou Man is above Guo Cishi, but the department is different.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were not so nervous anymore.
Zhou Man shook his cattail fan and looked up at the sun in the sky, sighed, "Tomorrow will be June, but it's really too hot."
Everyone nodded together, very hot, very hot.
