Chapter 176: Yongzhou Yamen Ecology, Weiwusi Chasi Duty

After solemnly speaking a few words to Shen Qing, the minor official from the clerk's office took Shen Qing's appointment documents and household registration certificate and slowly walked to a government office with white walls and black tiles.

After reaching the door, the official from the clerk's office paused, bowed with both hands and shouted respectfully: "Sir, there is a man outside the door who calls himself Shen Qing. He has an appointment document and a certificate of status in his hand. He came to our military department to apply for a job."

"Shen Qing?" A woman's voice came from the government office, with a bit of doubt in her tone, and it was obvious that she was unfamiliar with the name: "What position are you seeking?"

"It is the post of a messenger. He has both the appointment document and the certificate of registration."

"Show it to me."

"Yes."

The minor official from the clerk's office walked in, carefully placed Shen Qing's appointment document and certificate of citizenship in front of the long table, and then retreated to the door.

Sitting behind the long desk was a beautiful woman, her hair tied up high and her skin as delicate as jade.

The sunlight came in through the window lattice and hit her skin, even feeling a little crystal clear.

At this moment, she was wearing a white tight-fitting suit, her graceful curves outlined her perfect figure, and her breasts were about to burst out.

This woman was none other than Huangfu Rou, the chief officer of the Yongzhou Bingmasi, and the legitimate daughter of the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Rou has been in a high position for many years, and his every move reveals the temperament of a superior, which makes people admire him.

She picked up Shen Qing's appointment documents and citizenship certificate, and compared them one by one.

There is no problem with the appointment document, but this certificate of origin...

"Someone from Taiping County?"

"From his accent, he does sound like he's from Taiping County."

Huangfu Rou frowned slightly, and glanced at the official letter sent by the county magistrate beside the long desk.

After a moment, Huangfu Rou said, "I'll give you the certificate of membership. Leave the appointment document with me for now. Let me think about it and ask him to come back the next day."

"Yes."

The house next to the clerk's room.

When Shen Qing saw the clerk from the clerk's office coming back, he quickly stood up and asked, "Sir, how is it?"

"This is a bit inappropriate." The minor official in the clerk's office returned the certificate to Shen Qing and said helplessly.

Shen Qing said: "What's wrong?"

"You are from Taiping County, right?"

"Yes."

The official in the clerk's room pinched his beard and said, "My mistress hesitated when she heard that you were from Taiping County. I guess someone else is eyeing the position of Bingmasi Chasi. She might have to weigh the pros and cons. You are in danger."

"But you don't have to lose heart. The Lord has accepted your appointment document and told you to come back the next day, which means there is still hope for you."

Shen Qing knew that it would be difficult to enter the government office. He calmly bowed and asked, "Your Excellency is of noble birth and holds an important position. Could you please give me some pointers?"

The official in the clerk's room waved his hand and continued to ask with a smile: "There is no wealthy family with the surname Shen in Yongzhou. I guess your family background must not be high, and you don't have any backing, right?"

Shen Qing nodded and admitted: "An ordinary citizen from Taiping County."

"As expected. If this is the case, other Yongzhou nobles will compete with you, and your position will be more uncertain. It's hard to say for sure."

"My Lord asked you to come back the day after tomorrow. I think you can make some more preparations now." The clerk in the clerk's room reminded him, "Remember to be well prepared. Don't hide anything when the time comes, or you will regret it if you miss the opportunity."

This is almost too blunt.

Even a fool could understand what Shen Qing said.

This is asking for money.

"Thank you for your advice, I will go back and prepare well."

The clerk waved his hand and said, "Go back first. I'll greet the gatekeeper next time you come. You can just come in directly."

Shen Qing bowed and retreated. …

In the public office.

Huangfu Rou held Shen Qing's appointment document and the official letter from the county magistrate, her eyes lingering between the two.

"The court has sent five Xiantian martial artists to Yongzhou, including a military commander. This shows that the court values ​​Yongzhou's Military Command more than the Guards."

"The military department is now short of a deputy officer. The other families smelled something and immediately found the county governor. From what the county governor said, the Su family has been chosen as the candidate."

"If this is the case, it involves the exchange of interests above, which is no longer something I can control."

Huangfu Rou's eyes could not help but fall on Shen Qing's appointment document: "This person named Shen Qing can't get in now."

"However, the Weiwu Division seems to be short of many officials. Right now, there are demonic disasters all around Yongzhou, so it's a good time to use people, so we can arrange for them."

"The Weiwu Division was originally a government office separated from the Bingmasi Division. They are both under my jurisdiction. The ranks of the two divisions are the same, so it is not against the rules."

Huangfu Rou had an idea in her mind, and after she felt that there was no mistake, she began to make arrangements.

First, I have to inform the county magistrate, and then I have to go to the Weiwu Division, which takes some effort.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third day, Shen Qing arrived at the Bingmasi office as promised.

When he came over again, the two gatekeepers did not make things difficult for him. They decisively let him pass after seeing him.

Shen Qing found the clerk's office with ease.

At this moment, the clerk from the previous day seemed to have been waiting for him. When he saw him at the door, he put down his work, walked up to him and asked quickly, "You're here? How are you? Are you ready?"

Shen Qing said respectfully: "Sir, please spare me a moment to talk."

The minor official in the clerk's office looked around and found that no other colleagues were paying attention. He put his hands behind his back and walked out of the clerk's office at a leisurely pace.

The clerk from the clerk's office took Shen Qing to the corner of a small courtyard where there was no one around.

Facing the clerk's direct gaze, Shen Qing quickly put ten large gold bills in his hand.

These gold notes were exchanged for part of his assets before he left Taiping County.

Each gold note represented one hundred taels of silver.

Ten of them would cost over a thousand taels.

For Shen Qing, this is one third of his wealth.

Now that it was given away all at once, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

However, when I think about the wish-power beads and the method of refining beads worth two thousand taels later, these one thousand taels are not too expensive.

Shen Qing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

The minor official in the clerk's office didn't expect that Shen Qing, who looked like he came from a humble background, was actually so generous.

He gave over a thousand taels in one go.

"Wait for me."

The minor official in the clerk's office excitedly collected the thousand-liang gold note, gave an order, and walked quickly towards the government office.

The government office is only separated from the clerk's quarters by a courtyard.

In just a moment, he walked to the gate of the government office and said, "Sir, the job seeker from Taiping County is here."

Huangfu Rou said without even looking up: "Give him the post of Weiwusi errand officer. Let your Lifang take care of the position and let him take up the post on a certain day."
