Chapter 1215 There are so many rules in officialdom
It can be seen that under the governance of Man Gu, the Quyi County government is well-organized and helps two people find their long-lost mother in just a few minutes, which is very touching.
When the barbarian bones were completely broken and he returned to the back hall to rest, a voice stopped him.
"Junior Brother Man."
Man Gu turned around and saw two spotless and peerless masters standing in the back hall. He was overjoyed: "Brother Lu! Brother Meng!"
Although the two had disguised themselves, their voices had not changed and Barbarian Bones could easily distinguish them.
Magistrate Man personally entertained the two distinguished guests, serving tea and water, and serving them with platters of melons and fruits.
"The two senior brothers have been promoted to the Tribulation Stage. I have been busy with government affairs, so I can only write a letter to congratulate them. Allow me to say congratulations here."
After Mangu sent a letter to Meng Jingzhou asking for help, he received a newspaper and learned that Meng Jingzhou had been promoted to the Tribulation Stage, so he sent a second letter to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang and the two did not expect that they had not seen Man Gu in the past few years. Man Gu spoke in a refined manner, and he was completely different from before.
"It seems that Junior Brother Man is doing well as the county magistrate?"
"Of course...no, you shouldn't say that. How should you say it? Wait for me."
As he spoke, Mangu took out a small book from his arms and rolled up the edges. He didn't know how long he had been using it.
Mangu turned to the end and read out the contents of the notebook carefully: "Thanks to the care of my two senior brothers, since I became the county magistrate, I have been working hard and thinking about the development direction of this county..."
"Wait a minute, what are you writing?" Lu Yang couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yang also saw the words of congratulations written down in the notebook. They were exactly the same, without changing a single word.
What about reading the lines?
"You see, the way I spoke before didn't look like a Confucian cultivator. Confucian cultivators always like to quote sages and the like when speaking. In essence, it's just memorizing lines. So I thought of this way and thought about the dialogue scenes in advance. Think about what you want to say and memorize it in a notebook."
"The chief secretary also suggested that I do this, and he often writes speeches for me."
Lu Yang and Lu Yang always felt that Man Gu had some misunderstanding about the Confucian cultivator, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that what he said was quite right.
Meng Jingzhou sighed: "Just say what you want to say, don't memorize it."
"Then it's actually quite difficult to be a county magistrate. There are too many rules."
"How to say?"
"When I first became the county magistrate, I went to the county for a meeting. At the end of the meeting, the county magistrate said that if we magistrates had any ideas about Zhongshan County, or if I had suggestions for him as the county magistrate, we could speak freely. I originally wanted to tell my colleagues After I finished speaking, they didn’t say anything for a long time, so I stood up and said a few words.”
"The county magistrate was quite satisfied with me and asked me if I wanted to be the county magistrate now. I kindly reminded him that I couldn't be promoted to county magistrate immediately after I became the county magistrate. It was against the regulations."
"After I returned home, I told the chief clerk, and the chief clerk wrote some precautions on my notebook and told me not to do this."
Man Gu showed it to Lu Yang and the two of them. He opened the first few pages of the small book, which contained various prohibited items, such as "Don't speak when your boss says you can speak freely." "Don't report your colleagues for drinking after get off work." "Your boss asked you if you want to stay for dinner." Don’t really eat, even if you finish eating, don’t say you’re not full” and so on.
"Why are there so many things to pay attention to?" Lu Yang and the other two were surprised. The chief clerk was also a talented person who could pay attention to so many details.
"Oh, because every time I make a mistake, he writes me a note."
“…”
"Otherwise, I would say that there are too many rules in the officialdom and there is no freedom in the sect."
"Actually, I'm doing pretty well in the officialdom." Lu Yang said.
"Can't you tell? My current identity is the Minister of Zhuguo."
"Minister of the Zhu Kingdom? Do we have this official position in Daxia?"
"Emperor Xia recognizes it anyway."
"Brother Lu is so awesome."
If not to say that Senior Brother Lu Yang is so powerful, it would be so difficult for him to be a small county magistrate. However, Senior Brother Lu Yang has become a minister of the Zhu Kingdom without even realizing it. This is the gap between people.
He really still has a lot to learn.
"Stop talking about this, what's the matter with being haunted?" Meng Jingzhou asked. Nowadays, solar lamps have completely replaced candles. Every household has solar lamps. In addition, the seal of the sun has been completely unlocked, and the power of the sun has exploded. Ghosts Can it still become a climate?
"It was one night three months ago."
"I was practicing at the time, and suddenly the police patrolling the streets reported to me that there were several ghosts wandering the streets. They tried all kinds of methods to no avail, and the ghosts were not affected at all."
"I went over to take a look, and sure enough, several ghosts were illuminated by solar lights and stabbed by peach wood swords, but it was useless. The peach wood swords even passed through them directly. They seemed to have no feelings and did not respond to our attacks. He didn’t mean to attack us.”
"When I walked over, the ghosts were already starting to disappear."
"Then ghosts appeared again, but my state fluctuated to a very low level at that time and I couldn't take action, so I invited monks from the county, but it still didn't work."
"There is no other way, so I thought of asking two senior brothers to take action."
"It sounds a bit strange. How many times have ghosts appeared in total?"
"Three times, the time of appearance is not fixed, but it must be at night."
Meng Jingzhou touched his chin: "The time of occurrence is not fixed, which would be troublesome. Has this situation occurred in nearby counties?"
Mangu shook his head: "I asked, but no."
"It seems that we can only stay here for a while. By the way, Junior Brother Man, the arrival of the two of us must be kept secret." Lu Yang said.
If the ghosts knew that Lao Meng and himself, who punished **** and eradicated evil and acted chivalrously, were here, they might not dare to show their faces.
"Okay." Mangu nodded. The two senior brothers have always been low-key and unwilling to be in the limelight.
"Then I will arrange accommodation for the two senior brothers?"
"Is your Yamen short of people? Wherever there is a shortage, we can temporarily fill it up."
"I actually fired two detectives for taking bribes, leaving two positions vacant, but the two senior brothers are my guests who came to help me..."
Meng Jingzhou hooked his arm around Mangu's neck and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not good to be idle all the time. I just want to find something to do."
Mangu was very moved. The two senior brothers traveled thousands of miles to catch ghosts and took the initiative to solve their own problems. This was such a noble and honorable act.
Soon Mangu found police clothes for the two of them. The two of them put on their clothes, and with proud smiles, they suddenly looked like evil detectives who bullied the weak.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mangu took the two of them to identify people in the yamen. The first person they wanted to meet was the chief clerk.
Chief Liu was shocked when he saw the county magistrate and two strange detectives.
It stands to reason that the recruitment process must be tested quickly. Why did the county magistrate find two of them so quickly?
"Sir, who are these two detectives?"
Mangu remembered Lu Yang's advice not to reveal his identity, so he couldn't say that these two people were his senior brothers when introducing them, just give a brief introduction.
"These two came in through the back door." (End of chapter)
