Idle courtiers

Chapter 133 Sharp turn down
Feeling angry, Zhou Nan went straight in and cupped his hands slightly: "My subordinate Zhou Nan has seen the punishment, and Governor Huang is here too! As far as I know, Governor Huang is brave enough to serve in the Prison Division, and he got an excellent grade in the evaluation last year." Come on, how do you think about doing prudent punishment?"

Being bumped into by him, Governor Huang was a little embarrassed.He is an old official with a thick skin, so he smiled and said: "Since Zimu has heard it, I will not hide it from you. Today I am here to recommend you to be the governor of our criminal justice department. Zhou The governor is familiar with government affairs and is a rare talent, and the acting governor will definitely be able to show his ambitions and make the best of his talents."

The governor of the Ideal Office is the first among the four governors. The secret of the counselor is the secret of the promotion of officials, but the power is not small.

Zhou Nan was stunned, did I think wrong, this Governor Huang is actually a broad-minded person, so kindly recommended me to an important job.

"Okay, according to what Governor Huang said, Zhou Nan, you will take the post of governor after you take a rest." After finishing speaking, Governor Xiong snorted heavily, and suddenly scolded: "Governor Zhou, you bullied men and women just a few days after taking office. , It also attracted women from brothels to the yamen. Today, the government is still asking us if there is a governor named Zhou Nan in the criminal justice department who has a bad reputation among the people. What do you think our criminal justice department is? Anton from the past Can the county government do whatever it wants?"

"Let's deal with the punishment hall, you have lost all the face of our government. In this way, what is the dignity of the government, and the disrespect of the people, how can we replace the herdsmen of the emperor? Step back and introspect, go!"

After being kicked out by Xiong Ren in disgrace, Zhou Nan realized something was wrong.

It must be that Governor Huang got involved in the slander behind his back.

That's right, the governor has great power, but this power comes from the trust of the officials, and he is not responsible for specific affairs.

This Xiongtui official seems to be extremely disgusted with him, and he probably won't let him handle government affairs in the hall
If it was Zhou Nan who was a day ago, and won the attention of the official Xiong Tui by resolving the weapon fight case beautifully, he would naturally be a good job as a governor, a proper secretary-general.Well now, transformed into a little secretary.

The secretary doesn't bring a chief, and he doesn't even fart.

Zhou Nan couldn't figure it out, why Governor Huang wanted to be cruel to him, for a position, as for it?
He continued to reflect on himself, but he still underestimated the people in the officialdom and was naive.

Zhou Nan spent almost all of this day sitting in a daze.There was something in the criminal justice hall, and no one came to him.

Even the two close book offices were transferred away.

Other scribes never come to sit in his room.

Now, Zhou Nan's grandma doesn't care, and her uncle doesn't love her. The market has taken a turn for the worse. From a popular fried chicken who quickly entered the working state and won the trust of Mr. Xiong with his ability, it becomes a decoration.

Stealing a half-day free life, watching the quiet flowers fall, walking to the poor water, sitting and watching the clouds rise, that is for success and fame.Poor Zhou Nan entered semi-retirement just after taking the first step in his official career.

Forget it, just mess around like this!Zhou Nan is very helpless, but fortunately he is now an official.Just like the civil servants of later generations, as long as you don’t want to get promoted and get rich, you can work on time, do nothing, and others can’t do anything to you.

No matter how much your superior hates you, no matter how much your colleagues squeeze you out, as long as you have an attitude of fooling around, no one has the right to fire you.

The appointment and removal system of officials in the Ming Dynasty was perfect. Even if you are a nine-rank sesame official, if you want to send someone home for the elderly, you still have to nod from the officials.

After sitting for a day, it was really painful.

When it came to Shenshi, Zhou Nan fled out of the Yamen as if fleeing.

After walking a few steps, I saw a short man stepping forward, bowing his hands and saluting: "It's Mr. Zhou, Governor Zhou." He spoke softly and waxy.

Zhou Nan: "You are?"

That man had a deer-headed face, described as wretched, and the little mung bean's eyes turned wildly: "Return to the governor, the villain Hao Peiyu."

"So you are Hao Miaozhu?"

The man said: "Exactly, the villain is the host, and I want to invite the master to have a drink in the "Green Pearl Tower". I heard that Master Zhou is a refined and romantic person, and the young one over there has already ordered a few beautiful girls. There is one more thing I would like to ask the governor for help."

Zhou Nan suddenly turned to fear, this Hao Miaozhu really did not open which pot and which pot to lift.The reason why I am in such a mess today is not because his wife Wang and Mrs. Zhu are arguing in the yamen, and it turns out that the master seems to be doing something to his wife.

Also, Zixiao sent a servant girl from Lvzhulou to invite her, but Peng Tongzhi happened to bump into her.

Zhou Nan also simply said: "Get out!"

Hao Miaozhu was shocked: "Why does the master utter evil words, and the villain still has his heart to offer you, the fifty strings are turned outside the fortress, and the soldiers are ordered in autumn on the battlefield." It means, I want to make a deal with you for 50 taels of silver, please You have registered for my family of three.

Zhou Nan immediately understood that he had just arrived in Fucheng, had just settled down, and was short of money.I couldn't help but be tempted, in fact, this matter is not difficult to do.Aren't you, Hao Miaozhu, going to settle in Huai'an? I'll settle in Andong County for you.You are a refugee, it is good to have an official status, and you are picky and want to settle in a second-tier big city?
However, this guy looks like he is very rich, so you might as well give him a little more attention.Then he chanted: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand." You can give 100 taels, the money is enough, and I will pick all the stars in the sky for you.

Hao Miaozhu is probably used to haggling with customers, and based on the principle of being able to cut a little and count a little, he read: "Seven or eight stars away, two or three o'clock in front of the rainy mountain, and the poor people in the world will be happy." Don't say 100 Two, seven and eighty taels are too much, I am so poor, I still want to cut down two and thirty taels!
"You are still poor, and you don't even look at yourself." Zhou Nan was furious: "Get out, get out, and then Luo Suo, my lord will arrest you for a meal, and you will be sent to Zhejiang directly as a refugee, and you will be enriched in Hu Ruzhen's Hu family. Serve as a soldier under the command of the church."

Seeing him turn his face, Hao Miaozhu fled with his head in his arms.

It was finally the day of Xiumu. Early in the morning, Zhou Nan took Xun Juren's suicide note and hired a car to look for it according to the address he left.

The Xun family was quite far from Fucheng. After walking for a whole morning, they saw a large Zhuangzi in the distance.

With the traffic in the fields, the sound of chickens and dogs, the wheat in the fields has turned yellow, and tens of thousands of acres of land are like a golden carpet that stretches to the horizon.With the wind, there are layers of wheat waves.

After walking another mile, the Zhuangzi became clear, with halls, terraces and pavilions, blue tiles and white walls, what a wealthy family.

If the guess is correct, it must be the manor of Xun Juren.

Zhou Nan couldn't help feeling emotional: I didn't expect Xun Laoju to be such a rich man. Hey, you said that you are a rich man, and your wife and children live on the hot kang, why are you going to war, and you lost yourself in the end.It's not that I want a future and want to be a high-ranking official.

It is undeniable that Xun Ju is dull, but he is a person of noble character, and he will benefit the country.

I will reflect on myself three times a day and introspect myself. In fact, I am a modern petty bourgeoisie with refined egoism, ashamed, ashamed.

Zhou Nan asked a young farmer in his early twenties who was working in the field: "That countryman, dare to ask if the family in front is Xunju's family/"

Unexpectedly, the farmer spit out suddenly: "I don't know anyone who raises people or doesn't raise people, ask someone else."

His face was full of disgust and resentment.
