In the city of Bianjing, where a population of millions is worth every inch of land, although the Kaifeng government office has a large area, there are more officials in it, so it is naturally impossible to set aside too many sign-up rooms to resettle everyone. Logically speaking, only a few major officials are equipped with their own separate sign-up rooms, while others can only use a few people together. Military officials like Dutou can naturally be even more able to mix with a group of constables and servants.

But Sun Tu, a ninth-rank official, was obviously a little different. Sun Fu quickly helped him to free up an empty room. Although the room was not big, it was quite rare in the yamen. Sun Tu was quite satisfied with this arrangement, at least he should have respect for him. So when he saw that he had finished everything and it was noon again, he invited his subordinate to the guards to have a drink at the restaurant next to him.

Sun Fu was really a little greedy. When he heard this, he hesitated and responded. After all, the new official took office and was also out of good intentions, he could not save others' face. At that moment, the two of them went straight out of the government office and went into Chunming Building next to order some wine and food while eating and chatting.

At the beginning, Sun Tu just chatted with him, and inadvertently mentioned that he had today's identity with Tong Guan's help. This made Sun Fu more respectful to him - ordinary court officials may dislike Sun Tu's choice of complying with the eunuchs, but a minor official like him naturally only envied this.

Moreover, this made Sun Fu more respectful to Sun Tu, because he knew that although Sun Guanren is just an inconspicuous person now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will soar into the sky in the future. Now that he has a good relationship with him, it will naturally be of some benefit in the future. Even if he really can't play any role, he will lose a terrible opponent, right?

With this thought and a few cups of yellow soup, Sun Fu's mouth was much more relaxed. Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask about the specific situation in the yamen. First, he inquired about some of the situations of the prefect and his immediate boss, Xue Tong, and the other party naturally answered one by one. For example, Han Gonggong is gentle and treats people leniently, and for example, Xue Tong is more steady. In the past year, they can be promoted again as long as they don't make any mistakes. Sun Fu told all the inside story with alcohol.

Sun Tu secretly remembered it in his heart, and then asked what he cared about most: "How many people in the yamen are there now? What are their responsibilities for daily life? So what about people?"

"Our Kaifeng Prefecture is not the government office of other prefectures and counties. There are too many things to deal with, so there are six capital leaders in the yamen. Several capital leaders are in charge of their own affairs, most of which are to maintain public order in the city and arrest some thieves who commit crimes. Several capital leaders have always followed the leader of the judge Xue Tong, which is considered to be conscientious." Sun Fu replied casually, "But in addition to them, there are eight deputy capital leaders, but the situation is a bit subtle."

"What do you mean?" Sun Tu immediately became energetic and asked after he filled him with a glass of wine.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, the other deputy heads are nothing. Shen Liang, Shen Dutou and Lu Fang, may not be happy to see Sun Dutou come to Kaifeng Prefecture. Because after the first position of the head is vacant, the two of them are the most likely to take over this position. But the result..." As he said that, he smiled, and his meaning was already very clear.

"Do you Shen Liang and Lu Fang?" Sun Tu nodded thoughtfully and also remembered the names of the two of them. Indeed, no matter who it is, once the official position that could have been successfully acquired is taken away by someone, he will definitely feel frustrated and even blame the person who has taken his chance. It seems that he must be careful in the future and not let them find any flaws.

Afterwards, Sun Tu asked about Dutou's errands, but this time Sun Fu could not give a clear answer. After all, he was just a guard and was specially helped Xue Yuanpeng with the paperwork. As for what Dutou did, he could not ask or care about.

After a while of drinking, Sun Tu helped Sun Aisi return to the yamen with the drunken Sun Aisi. From the other party's dare to drink so much wine at noon, it can be seen that the rules in the yamen are not very big. At least Judge Xue Tong would not punish his subordinates because of this small matter.

When Sun Tu returned to the signing room and felt idle, a servant suddenly came and said that it was Judgment Xue Tong who asked him to go over and discuss something. This surprised him a little, because when he thought that he had to stay idle for a long time, why did the other party discuss things with him so quickly?

But since it was the boss who summoned him, Sun Tu did not dare to be negligent and rushed over immediately. After entering the official hall of the common name, he also found that there were two other men standing below with their hands. One was white and the other was black and strong, and they were also looking at him with their eyes.

After Sun Tu's greeting, Xue Yuanpeng smiled and said, "Tao Sun Du, you came in time this time. I was having a headache about some things before. I heard that you have great martial arts skills and had fought with local thieves and bandits when you were in Yuncheng County and had made achievements?"

"The magistrate is indeed well-informed. The subordinates have indeed practiced some martial arts and have luckily helped the government to combat the bandits."

"I think you must have a lot of experience in stabilizing local security. Nowadays, there are many sluts in Tokyo who always act recklessly because of the shortage of government staff, and many people are deeply harmed. My Kaifeng Prefecture has also arrested some people to be brought to justice, but the problem cannot be solved, and it has even attracted impeachment from the Censorate. The prefect once thought of taking heavy blows to rectify it, and I also agreed with it, but there are many difficulties in scheduling the manpower."

As he said this, he looked at Sun Tu and smiled and said, "Since you have this ability and just happened to be the head of my Kaifeng Prefecture, let's share my worries with the prefect."

Sun Tu was slightly stunned. The other party had arranged such an important task on the day he took office? This was contrary to his previous judgment. Will there be any problem here? However, it was impossible to give him a chance to refuse. After all, he was the immediate boss, and he was just a polite speech.

So after just pondering for a moment, Sun Tu clasped his fists and said, "Since the lower official is already a subordinate of Kaifeng Prefecture, the prefect and the Tongzong should follow the orders. I wonder how to arrange the Tongzong?"

"It's very simple. I will assign you twenty service constables. You will take them to patrol the Dongcheng area to ensure peace there - you live in Dongcheng, and you must be quite familiar with it. This matter will never hurt you, right?" Xue Yuanpeng said with a smile.

Sun Tu frowned slightly: "There are only twenty people, which is probably not enough..." As he spoke, he found that the other party's face changed slightly, so he added: "I wonder if I can ask some more people to help?"

"This is up to you, I just need to see the result." Xue Yuanpeng did not make things difficult for Sun Tu on this point, and then said: "Because you know that you didn't know enough about some things from my subordinates when you first came to Kaifeng Prefecture, so I asked Shen Liang and Lu Fang to help you. Are you relieved now?"

"What?" Sun Tu looked at the two people next to him in surprise. The two men quickly bowed to him: "Chen Liang (Lu Fang) has seen Sun Du's head." The white face was Chen Liang, and the black and strong man was Lu Fang.

Sun Tu smiled and clasped his fists to them, but his heart was shocked. It turned out that Judge Xue Tongdi had dug a hole for him here. These two people were obviously angry that they had snatched the position. Now, letting them work together with him will inevitably have many problems.

However, he was not willing to refuse at this time, so he could only send troops to block the water and block the soil, so he responded: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the magistrate."

"That's good. I hope you three can work together to improve the atmosphere in Bianjing City." Xue Yuanpeng nodded with satisfaction and signaled that the few people could retreat.

Sun Tu smiled bitterly, then withdrew from the official office with two deputy heads and brought them to his own signing room. Since the three of them had to cooperate with each other, they had to get to know each other.

However, Sun Tu had no idea about this for the time being, so he only chatted with them for a few words, said some goodwill and close words, and then let them leave.

After getting Sun Tu's signing room a while away, Lu Fang suddenly said, "Chen Yidao, do you think we should let Sun Dutou know that this position is not easy to sit?" Chen Liang has a good knife skills, so he was called this by his colleagues. When talking about the title of Sun Dutou, Lu Fang's tone was quite stiff and unhappy.

Chen Liang just responded vaguely: "This errand is not easy to handle. Haven't He Dutou encountered a lot of trouble before?"

"Hmph, even a ninth-rank official cannot just sit firmly in this position." Lu Fanghan said with a face, and his words became more and more explicit.

Chen Liang didn't answer this, but just thought about something with a smile...
