Chapter 79 The new official takes office!(1/2)
As the capital of the Tang Empire, Chang'an is full of yamen, big and small, with high ranks of the chief officials, so the yamen is naturally spacious and bright, with a good location. The yamen is lower, so the yamen is naturally worse!
As a young official from the ninth rank of Sesame, Li Zhao's situation in the yamen is naturally the worst, the worst.
The southwest corner of Chang'an City-Yongyangfang-Sanqingguan.
This was originally a small Taoist temple. It was abandoned because of the incense that was not strong. Later, it became a yamen organized by bad people. Due to disrepair, all the external walls collapsed, the hall was also in ruins, the beams and pillars were decayed, the doors and windows were broken, and there were holes of all sizes everywhere, and even the roof tiles were not left.
There were seven or eight other bad people in ragged clothes, sitting lazy in the yard chatting, all about family matters.
In this situation, Li Zhao couldn't help but wonder if he was here to take office as a new official, or to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Isn't this a bit miserable?
"What's the point of coming here?"
"According to the Ministry of Personnel, I came to take office."
"As you, are you the newly appointed bad coach?"
“That’s right!”
Li Zhao showed the copper fish talisman and the appointment documents of the Ministry of Personnel. After reading it, several bad people hurriedly crossed their hands to salute, but their eyes were full of doubts. Are the people from the Ministry of Personnel confused? Why did he send a young man to be a bad coach?
Most of the bad people are veterans, rogues, and they are rebellious and very slippery. They are difficult to deal with with with experienced old officials, let alone such a young man who is still stinky.
It probably takes less than ten days to resign from my father and mother... I remember that the previous bad coaches all left like this.
"Today is the day when I take office. You guys have worked hard to tell all the bad people that they will come here to gather before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I want to give a lecture."
"promise!"
After giving the order, Li Zhao stepped into the lobby. It was also ragged inside, with only an old table, one of which was broken, barely supported by a few blue bricks, and several large worn wooden boxes.
A list of flowers was found from the box, which records that there are now 262 bad people in Chang'an City, with all kinds of information on names, ages, hometowns, and address.
Li Zhao read it with all his eyes and remembered the contents in it. From now on, these people will be their own subordinates.
Time passes little by little, and bad people come one after another. The situation can only be described in four words: it is terrible!
They were ragged, not only with the dishes, some were pushing wheelbarrows, some carried vegetable baskets, some were covered in soil, and the tools of masons. Are they still famous bad people? They are simply a group of coolies!
But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable.
Now in Jingzhao area, the monthly salary of a formal yamen runner is: 2,000 yuan, 4 stones of rice, eight feet of cloth, and she will also distribute sweatshirts, headscarves, boots, robes, jackets, etc. on time.
In addition, the yamen runners can make some money by taking advantage of their positions, sometimes more than the salary they pay, so they live a good life one by one!
The bad guys are miserable. They have no formal staffing and their salary is only one-quarter of the official yamen runners. Not only is there a small number of pity, but they are often deducted by the people above, and they can't get any oil and water.
Therefore, bad people have a hard life. In order to support themselves and their families, they have to do some part-time jobs. Some sell vegetables and tofu, and some work for others to barely make ends meet!
...
"Have you heard that, brothers, the new bad coach is a 16 or 17-year-old boy."
"Hmph, a hairy guy with a bad breast, why should he be a bad handsome guy? I'm afraid he's going to go through the back door?"
"Unlike, if there is a back door to leave, we wouldn't have come to our poor yamen. Most of them are unlucky people with no background and are sent to us in disguise."
"Well, it makes sense. Let's play with him and let him know what a bad person is, haha!"
The bad people gathered in the open space, sitting or squatting, chatting, without discipline, and their words were filled with contempt. They obviously did not take this new boss seriously!
It's three o'clock.
Li Zhao walked out of the lobby and began to speak to everyone: "Brothers, today is the first day I took office. Let me introduce myself first. Li Zhao, sixteen years old, from Wu'an County... We will work together from now on. I hope everyone will unite and achieve good results. Let's start calling the name below. Please respond to what you click: Wannian County - Cao Xiaoyang!"
"Oh!"
"Daxing County - Yu Daxing!"
"Here!"
"Lantian County-Li Wei!"
“Go…haha!”
Li Zhao called out one by one, and the bad people responded sarcastically, and bursts of laughter sounded from time to time.
But after a while, the bad people stopped laughing because they discovered something strange. The sixteen-year-old bad guy did not hold the roster in his hand, and he even pointed out the hometown and name of more than 100 people. None of them went wrong. What is this?
On the first day of his new official's tenure, both sides had never met. How did he know everyone's name?
I have read the roster and the time is so short that I can't write down more than 200 people. There must be strange things... and humans will instinctively develop a sense of awe for strange things.
Thinking of this, some bad people who were originally sitting quietly stood up and looked at Li Zhao with a look of contempt.
Soon, the name is finished!
There were 262 bad people, but there were actually 254 people, and eight others had not arrived.
After inquiry, I learned that three of them were sick and were resting at home. One of them died and went to attend the funeral. This was all justified.
As for the remaining four bad people, there was no reason. Obviously, they did not obey the orders and knew the crime.
Liu Yidao, 28 years old, is from Lantian County, Guanzhong.
Miao Erjian, twenty-seven years old, is from Fengtian County, Guanzhong.
Wang Tieqin, 28 years old, is from Weinan County, Guanzhong.
Wei Daechui, twenty-six years old, is from Weinan County, Guanzhong!
The roster records: These four people have been soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion, went to the battlefield, killed the enemy's head, made contributions, and became bad people after retirement. Since taking office, these four people have caught the most thieves and also caused the most troubles. They are typical two-headed ones!
After another meal, four thorns appeared together, walking shakingly, and their bodies were full of alcohol and smelled pungent... Li Zhao took a few steps forward and stopped the four thorns!
"You four are late for no reason, but are you dissatisfied with me?"
"So what if you don't accept you?"
"Haha, very good, happy, they are all men with true temperament. I won't say anything extra. Let's see the true words on our fists."
"What, you want to compete with us?"
Most of the soldiers of this era are rough people, and there is no need to go around talking to rough people. Li Zhao directly launched a challenge. To deal with these thorns, he had to use his fists to subdue them!
This style of behavior scared the four thorns and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Why, you four dare not pretend to be bears?"
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? If we compete for fists and kicks, how can we calculate the winning or losing?"
"Simple, if you four lose, I will be obedient from now on. I will ask you to go east, you can't go west, I will ask you to beat dogs, you can't scold chickens... If I lose, I will resign immediately, what if I leave?"
"This is true?"
"Everyone present can testify. Once this official says, it is hard to pursue!"
"Okay, I'm gambled, let me Wei Dahui learn about your fists and feet."
Wei Dachui, as his name is, has a tall figure, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and it is obvious that he is not easy to mess with.
In comparison, Li Zhao is thin and handsome, and looks completely harmless.
"Get a move!"
"Look at the fist!"
Wei Dahui took the initiative and punched him hard. It seemed to be amazing, but in fact it only used 50% of its strength.
It turned out that this person was careless and worried that one punch would hurt someone and cause unnecessary trouble, so he only used half of his strength and was ready to close his punches at any time.
Li Zhao did not dodge or dodge, and also punched him, and he collided with the opponent's huge fist.
"Dong!"
With a dull sound, both of them didn't move at all and hit a draw, and the result surprised the spectators.
You know, Wei Dahui is a famous strongman, capable of lifting hundreds of pounds of objects. Although this punch only took 50% of its strength, it was not something that ordinary people could bear.
This new bad handsome guy is not an ordinary person!
...
"Good skills, try taking me with another punch!" Wei Dahui punched him again, using eight points of strength this time.
Li Zhao did not dodge or dodge, and then he punched him again. Seeing that the two fists were about to touch each other, he suddenly closed his fists, slid, and flashed... and then raised his two fingers and poked Wei Dachu's yamen hole hard.
Yamen point is located behind the top, the depression between the first and second cervical vertebrae, which is the intersection of the Du meridian and the Yangwei meridian. When the key point is hit, Wei Dahui suddenly felt sore and numb all over, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The winner has been decided!
"Who will come next?"
"Wang Tieqin, learn your master's skills."
"Okay, come on!"
Compared with Wei Dahui, this Wang Tie Gun is much smoother and is a technical warrior. However, after five rounds, he was still poked down by Li Zhao with one finger!
"Let's go together!"
"Occursed!"
Seeing that the two partners were defeated one after another, the remaining Liu Yidao and Miao Erjian looked at each other. Knowing that they had met a master, they rushed up together and attacked together.
To be continued...
