Chapter 103 The new official takes office (1)

Early in the morning of April, Sun Tu came here again in front of Kaifeng Prefecture's Office. Even though he had too many doubts about such arrangements, he could only accept the reality and first handle the assignments he had handed over to the hands.

Today, when the two officers guarding the yamen saw Sun Tu strode, they looked vigilant on their faces: "Why is this kid coming again? You have to be optimistic about the injustice, don't let him do it again!" They were the person who guarded the gate when Sun Tu brought people to expose the Zhang family's crime last year, and they had a lot of trouble for this, so they were naturally impressed by the boy. Seeing him coming straight, the two quickly came forward with caution: "You must not do it in the yamen!" As they spoke, they even stopped him outside.

Sun Tu glanced at the two men with some confusion. He really couldn't remember the appearance of these two servants, but he still clasped his fists and smiled: "I am ordered to come to Kaifeng Prefecture to perform his duties."

"Are you an official in the court?" The two officers were still suspicious and looked at each other up and down, seeing that he was really not as old as he could be sent. Sun Tu didn't think it was offended, so he took out his official edict and related documents and lit up in front of the two: "I have evidence."

Then the two finally believed his identity and quickly bowed and apologized: "Official Sun forgives the crime. I really don't know Mount Tai. Please come in."

Sun Tu smiled at them and then continued to walk in. Then he stopped an official near the lobby and asked about the whereabouts of the prefect. However, the man shook his head: "The prefect is still attending the court meeting, and our yamen has always been represented by Judge Xue Tong. You can go to the judge hall."

Hearing this, Sun Tu felt a little sad, knowing that he might be in trouble. He made Xue Yuanpeng feel uncomfortable a lot that day. Even though he did nothing wrong, he would eventually make the other party feel aggrieved. Now that he has become Xue Tong's subordinate, he has no good results.

But now he had to follow the rules. After thanking this person, he turned into the second hall and headed straight to the magistrate hall. Outside the official hall, he was stopped by someone. After revealing his identity, someone went in to report first.

At this time, Xue Yuanpeng had just arrived at the yamen and was about to handle the official duties. Someone reported that someone came to perform his duties and asked for a visit. He did not think too much about this. Every time, some officials would come in and out of the Kaifeng government office. He was already used to it, so he nodded and said, "Let him come in and speak." As he said that, he continued to look at the documents in his hand.

It was not until he heard a clear voice saying below: "Secretary Sun Tu meets with Judge Xue Tong." He said casually: "Where did you call me from Kaifeng Mansion? What did you do before?" He said that he raised his eyes and looked forward casually, and then he was stunned: "Why are you?"

In the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, who has the deepest impression of Sun Tu, it is naturally his Xue Yuanpeng. After all, it is rare to be so brave that he dares to sue the officials with the people and make a comeback. This is a case that he handles at his hands, which also adds a lot of unnecessary trouble for this. Punishment Xue Tong naturally cannot forget this troublemaker.

Sun Tu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still truthfully told his official position and identity, and finally presented the relevant documents with both hands: "The lower officials also came here to obey the orders, and asked the judge Xue Tong to send him."

After Xue Yuanpeng took a few glances at the contents on his head, he felt a headache again. Isn’t this a nonsense? He has never been an official, so why would the court arrange such an appointment? Isn’t this to make things difficult for him?

Generally speaking, even important yamen like Kaifeng Prefecture, the officials are the ones with qualifications and ability in front of the Changming yamen, so that officials can send them to do things. Now a ninth-rank official becomes the head of the capital, which makes it difficult for some officials in the yamen to give orders. After all, no matter how young the ninth-rank official is, he will be faced by the government.

Also, the government office should have received relevant notices for this matter, but why did he not know at all? Just frowning, he remembered a little. More than ten days ago, he had taken leave of illness for two days. Could it be that the problem lies in this? Although he dealt with all the backlog of official duties after he came back, some unimportant documents and announcements were thrown aside by himself...

In any case, Xue Yuanpeng can only deal with the trouble in front of him. He could only say: "Since this is the order of the court, then you can only let Sun... Sun Tu be the first one. Do you have the word "大"? It's too rude to call the other party's name all the time. He is really not used to it.

"Xiaguan's name is Qianli."

"Okay, Qianli, although you have a special status, I still have to say that some things are ahead. Since you are the head of Kaifeng Prefecture, you must abide by some regulations, otherwise I will not spare you easily. As for your specific responsibilities, wait until I discuss with others carefully before making a decision." Xue Yuanpeng said with a serious expression. Since this fact cannot be changed, the rules must be established.

"The official understands." Sun Tu hurriedly agreed, sighing in his heart. It seemed that the other party might have to throw himself into idleness and sit on the bench. This is also a conventional method in the officialdom to deal with some conflicting subordinates. Not giving people power can prevent the other party from having a chance to stand out.

"Sun Fu, first take Sun Du down to get to know the environment in my Kaifeng government office, and then arrange a signing house for him to settle it." Xue Yuanpeng hurriedly called a subordinate and ordered it.

The Absin, who was the same surname as Sun Tu, agreed quickly and enthusiastically led Sun Tu outward and explained the relevant places in the government office. For example, the Tongju Hall on the left, the Prefectural Office Hall on the right, and other related signing rooms, etc., it seemed quite patient.

Sun Tu listened carefully, and it seemed quite obedient on the surface, which made Xue Yuanpeng feel a little relieved, but the knot in his heart still existed. After all, that incident caused him a lot of consequences, and it was reasonable to be wary of Sun Tu at this time.

After two hours, after the prefect came back from the court meeting, Xue Yuanpeng hurried over to find out the truth, because no matter how you look at this, there are questions, and this is an appointment that has never been made before.

Today, the prime minister of Kaifeng Prefecture is named Han Changzhou. He is a gentle middle-aged official. His temperament is somewhat similar to his appearance. He seems slow to do things and speaks.

When he heard some questions from his subordinates, the prefect Han smiled: "Actually, I should have discussed this matter with you, but it was delayed because you took a leave of absence. But I didn't expect that this official Sun was so impatient and came early. You don't have to worry too much. Since someone has run him into my Kaifeng Prefecture, he has to obey our orders and follow the rules in the yamen. If he really dares to act recklessly based on his identity, even the official will not spare him."

With this sentence, Xue Yuanpeng was relieved. Then he said curiously: "Why did the imperial court make such arrangements? Even if he didn't send him a message, it was reasonable. Why did he transfer him to my Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"You should have heard that someone had made a big fuss about us scholars in Fanlou before, right? It was Sun Tu. He was originally the person recommended by Tong Shumi, so he should have great use, but because of Fanlou's trouble, he was besieged by everyone and finally lost the job he got. But Tong Shumi obviously refused to let go, so he had this arrangement. Although I had fought with reason, I couldn't fight him anyway."

Xue Yuanpeng then realized that the military officer who had made trouble in Fanlou was Sun Tu! This made him feel more and more confused. This guy is really a good guy to make trouble. Now he has come to his subordinates and doesn’t know what he will do. As for the argument mentioned by the prefect, he doesn’t believe it at all. How could his boss fight with Tong Guan head-on?

Sure enough, Han Changzhou said again: "Sun Tu has a special identity. Don't place him at will. At least give him some errands, so that no one will look for us."

"The official understands, I will make arrangements." Xue Yuanpeng sighed and replied. The best way to deal with it is to not use it, so I can only think of other ways. However, how should I arrange Sun Tu to make himself angry without affecting his family?
