Chapter 342 Chicken and Dog Ascension (2)
There is a back door of the Fujian Guild Hall. Pan Er and Datou took Liang Jiu and others to move the things picked from the boat one by one. Guo Tong helped to get back together while grinning, making Pan Er confused.
"Guo Tong, why are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at you and wanted to treat you. Pan Er, Taizhou is more familiar than me. If you have any delicious food, you will take me to eat. If you have any fun, you will take me to see you. You know, my master. You only ask us to collect some door bags, and we are not allowed to eat or drink from others, and we are not allowed to go out for fun with others."
"If you can't eat other people's drinks, you can eat mine?" Pan Er couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"You are not an outsider, so you really want to treat you."
"What kind of guests are invited?"
"You will know later. Move quickly. The Fourth Master is waiting for you inside."
Guo Tong used to call Mr. Han, but now he called him Fourth Master, and even his name changed. The more Pan Er thought about it, the more he became, the more strange he was. Just as he was about to break the casserole, Guo Tong turned around and asked, "This brother, they just called you Brother Jiu, are your surname Liang?"
"Yes." Liang Jiu subconsciously raised his head.
"You are Liang Jiu. My surname is Guo and my name is Guo Tong. The one who is guarding the gatehouse in front is my brother Guo Jun. I heard that you are from a corps and have practiced good martial arts."
Liang Jiu was not talking much at all, and Guo Tong was also a family member of Lord Guo. He didn't know how to answer for a while. Not only was Datou heartless, he also recognized Guo Tong when he was in the capital. While working, he asked curiously: "Guo Da, how did you know that Lao Jiu has good martial arts skills?"
"Listen to the Fourth Master."
"Which fourth master?"
"Your master!" Guo Tong knew that the big head was not very good, and was afraid that he would not remember it, so he emphasized: "Big head, remember it clearly. In the Yunsi yamen, if you call your master, you have to call the Fourth Master, don't make trouble anymore."
"I'm not a melon girl. As soon as you say it, I know how to make trouble." Big Head put down the basket, straightened her waist and muttered: "Besides, when Fugui was in the capital, they called my young master, and they all called me the fourth master. You are not the first one, what's so great about it?"
"If you don't tell me, you won't understand if you tell me."
"Guo Da, your son tells me clearly, why don't I understand?"
"You are the son of a turtle!" For fear that Big Head would be in trouble, Guo Tong hurriedly hid behind Liang Jiu, pointed at him and scolded, "Big Head, this is the Yunsi Yamen, it's not your Chongqing Guild Hall, your son of a turtle is honest, otherwise I'll see how I deal with you!"
"I'm afraid of you, and I don't recognize your master." Thinking of what happened when I was in the capital, Datou smiled proudly: "I told you not to be jealous. Your master has given me a reward, and I will give it to you every time I go to the guild!"
Guo Tong secretly laughed at your son as a stupid job. Whenever you go to the Chongqing Guild Hall, you will reward you with money. That is because you think you are funny, and you also think your son is pitiful without a father or a mother. Just when he didn't know what he was good about, Pan Er put down his things and asked, "Guo Tong, what are you laughing about? I'm really confused by you."
"I'll know your affairs later. I guess how many days will I have to wait for the Fourth Master."
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my fourth brother?"
"Good thing."
...
They made jokes, laughed and joked, and were as intimate as brothers who had been reunited after a long separation.
Liang Jiu and Ji Daji's second-class villager worked silently, but they were all thinking that what Datou said before was really not bragging. He really recognized many high-ranking officials, and Mr. Han was really in the court.
The Fujian Association is not big, and the salt department ambassadors from Anfeng, Fu'an and other places can only wait outside, and the large singing and dancing alley is so narrow that they don't want to block the road at the door. Seeing Han Xiufeng's family moving things in, they came over to see what Han Xiufeng had sent so that they could go back and prepare as they did.
I don’t know if I don’t come to see it, but I’m shocked when I see it.
They never expected that Han Xiufeng, who was just a ninth-rank inspector before the New Year, not only had known Lord Guo for a long time, but also had an extraordinary relationship with Lord Guo. They thought that Han Chen and Han Xiufeng seemed to be fellow villagers, and they surrounded Han Chen and were almost trapped. Zhang Guangcheng, who had been guarding nearby, was stunned by everything in front of him. After watching the excitement for a while, he ran back to the state yard to announce the good news to his father.
"So Han Zhixing not only recognized Lord Guo, but also had a very good relationship with Lord Guo?"
"It's not just a big deal, it's just a family." Zhang Guangcheng held Zhang Zhigao and smiled, "Dad, we don't have anything to worry about now. With Han Zhixing here, Lord Guo will definitely not make things difficult for us. Old Gui Xu can't cause any storm."
Zhang Zhigao's official career has been ups and downs for so many years, and he has seen the current situation very clearly. He sat down and said, "Even if we don't have the relationship with Han Zhixing, we have nothing to worry about. No matter what, we will defend Taizhou after all. If the court investigates us, wouldn't the officials who lost their territory be even more responsible? Besides, I am so old that how many days can this official be. So the emperor will not investigate me, nor will he even take my post."
"Dad, it's better for someone to plead with love than for no one."
"That's right, you will prepare a generous gift in the future and ask Han Zhixing to give it to Lord Guo."
"Okay, I'll go and prepare now."
...
At the same time, Pan Er and others, who had just finished their work, followed Guo Tong to the front yard.
The wing room was too small and so many people couldn't squeeze in. Guo Tong simply asked Pan Er, Datou and Liang Jiu to go in first, and let the others wait outside first.
Pan Er was confused by Guo Tong, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked anxiously: "Fourth brother, what's going on? Guo Tong was so nagging that he made me feel sad."
"Good thing." Han Xiufeng signaled him to sit down, and looked at him with a smile: "Changsheng, we will not be able to go back for a while, since we can't go back, we should just stay to help Lord Guo."
"Fourth brother, there is no need to discuss this with me, we all listen to you."
"Yes, Brother Fourth, I want to go back together. If you don't leave, how can we throw you here alone and leave first?" Datou blurted out.
Seeing that Pan Er and Datou were both talking, Liang Jiu felt it was not good not to speak, so he hurriedly said, "Master Han, I will listen to you too. I will go wherever you go, unless you don't want me to drive me away."
Han Xiufeng couldn't help but tease, "You three are just the words of Lao Jiu."
"Master Han, do you really want me?" Liang Jiu is an honest man and believes it.
"Don't be anxious, listen to me." Han Xiufeng smiled slightly, put down the teacup and said slowly: "Mr. Guo was ordered to be a Yunshi Department in the face of danger, but the Yunshi Department's yamen was occupied by the bandits. It turned out that some of the people who worked in Yunshi Department's yamen ran away, some died. After running away, they chased those Guo from Taizhou who came to Taizhou and didn't want to use it, but they couldn't have no one left, so they wanted you to work in Yunshi Department's yamen."
Pan Er couldn't help laughing and said, "Fourth brother, you said we can't leave anyway. Since we can't leave, we are not a job, it's better to be a job at Lord Guo than to be a job at the state yamen."
"I think so too," Han Xiufeng smiled and continued, "Changsheng, Lord Guo wants you and Liang Jiu to be an ordinary person. Lord Guo is in the third rank, and you must not be without the ceremonial guards of the third rank, and you must not be without two police officers who are in charge of propaganda and guards around you, so you plan to support you."
"Be the police officer of Lord Guo?"
"Yes." Han Xiufeng smiled and confirmed, "You don't have to spend a liang of silver, so you can get into the experience of the Seventh-rank Salt Transport Department. Lao Jiu, Lord Guo plans to recommend you to be the Salt Catching Camp Qianshen. However, your Qianshen is just an official title, just doing the job of a police officer," he said.
Pan Er knew that official titles and official positions might not be the same. Liang Jiu didn't understand these and couldn't help asking: "Master Han, what kind of official is the police officer? What kind of bad is it to be?"
"Being Lord Guo's personal soldiers is similar to the head of the state yamen, but he is a serious sixth-rank military officer. He is neither a foreign minister of the foreign affairs department nor a despised yamen runner."
"But if I go to be Lord Guo's police officer, what should I do if there is no one around you?"
"Who said there is no one around me? Isn't this a big shot?" Han Xiufeng asked back, and then said, "You pick twenty brothers to come to the Yunshuosi to serve on duty. You must have good skills and good character. After you pick it, go to see Lord Guo with Guo Tong."
"Master Han, I..." Who wouldn't want to be promoted? Besides, this is a serious sixth-rank military officer. Liang Jiu really wanted to be this police officer, but he also felt sorry for Han Xiufeng to be this police officer.
"People go to high places and water flows to low places. Don't be stupid. The more you are, the happier I am, do you know?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Pan Er, who was discouraged, felt as if he was dreaming. He was stunned until Liang Jiu knelt down and kowtowed to Han Xiufeng before he recovered. He looked at Han Xiufeng, then looked back at Guo Tong who was smiling at him, and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, I will not thank you for your kindness, so I will kowtow to you too!"
"Why are you kowtowing? OK, okay, give it all. Even if you want to thank me, you should not thank me, but you should thank Lord Guo for your support. In short, the ancestral tombs of your two families are full of smoke, so you become an official, which is simply a step to reach the sky."
Seeing that Pan Er and Liang Jiu were about to be officials, Datou became anxious: "Fourth brother, where is me!"
"You are also an official, the Salt Catcher Camp Thousand General."
"How many qualities?"
"The sixth rank is the same as the ninth rank." Han Xiufeng looked up at the village warriors huddled at the door and couldn't help but smile: "Don't envy you, you have your share. One of them is considered a master of official positions. Either the chief or the foreign commissioner, or the extra foreign commissioner. In the words of Lord Guo, you cannot let honest people suffer losses. When you put on your official uniform, you will definitely envy those who did not return to Hai'an with us, hahahaha!"
"Thank you Mr. Han's support, thank you Mr. Han's support!"
"Master Han, the young man will kowtow to you, you are the young man's rebirth!"
...
The village warriors at the door knelt down and kowtowed each other, stunned the group of salt officials who had just been summoned into the yard.
Han Xiufeng was too lazy to pay attention to what they thought. He was about to ask Liang Jiu to pick twenty people to go to the lobby to listen to it. Pan Er suddenly asked, "Fourth brother, Datou and Ji Daji Erquan have become officials of the salt capture camp. In this way, the salt capture camp is full of officials and soldiers?"
"You can go and recruit if you don't have any soldiers. Lord Guo said, recruit five hundred of them first."
"What after you get it?"
