Chapter 51 Successfully took office and started the inspection
Sun Jian and the old man finally entered the county magistrate's mansion. The county magistrate's position in this county is not only powerful but also a student of the Imperial College in the court. Therefore, the county magistrate has a much higher status than the county magistrate and county magistrate. However, there are frequent bandits recently. The county magistrate's soldiers look more and most of them are empty-handed. The most important thing is that there is no strong leader at all. The thief Cao has already had a candidate. He is the nephew of the county magistrate. He came back from the border army. Although he lacked an arm, he was defeated by his rich combat experience. Now he is less than a vanguard with a complete body and a group of available townsmen to be the vanguard, so that he can really start to suppress the bandits. Otherwise, the pressure above and the county magistrate looked for him over and over again, and he would be a little unbearable.
The county magistrate sat alone in the hall to review official documents, but he was still very annoyed about this matter. He didn't know if the one named Sun Jian was found by his father-in-law. If it didn't work, he would have to spend a lot of effort. When he was upset, someone suddenly came to report that the old man was here and he brought a big man. The county magistrate understood it as soon as he heard it. There was no need to ask, the big man must be Sun Jian, and it must be his father-in-law nodded, otherwise he wouldn't bring him here. The blood clot in his heart seemed to be unblocked in an instant. He was not frustrated, he was calm, and he spoke very confidently. He hurriedly said anxiously: "Come in quickly and invite in. (Yes!) Wait a moment! (Hey, sir, is there anything else?) Look at my confused head, that's my father-in-law and my nobleman. I'll pick it up in person. Hurry up, I'll go in person."
Before he finished speaking, the county magistrate stood up and ran out. The person who informed him hurriedly shouted, "Sir, please wait, don't fall." The two of them ran in front and chased him from behind and left the lobby and ran to the door. Sun Jian accompanied the old man, and the foreman was still leading the way in front. Suddenly, he saw the county magistrate running towards this side. When the old man saw that his son-in-law was running over and running, he felt distressed, and shouted, "Hey, you kid, don't run away, don't run away, what should you do if you fall again!" The county magistrate knew that he could stop this time. On the one hand, it was the request of his father-in-law, and on the other hand, he had been kneeling in the lobby for so long. In addition, if he ran like this, he would have to breathe or slip and become embarrassed. However, to outsiders, he stopped this time.
The county magistrate stopped slowly, and he also saw the true face of Sun Jian's Mount Lu: a tall man, which was rare in the south at this time; this green turban was tied on his head, and his arms were shaking very strongly, and the tiger was full of wind, which could be seen that he had the strength. In addition, the inconspicuous sword on his waist was actually just a simple and unpretentious sword. This was a powerful martial arts practitioner. The county magistrate was very happy at first sight. He didn't know how to practice martial arts, so those who didn't know how to practice martial arts first looked at the big guy. It was really not easy to find such a big guy here. The layman watched the excitement, the expert looked at the tricks, and the old man tested Sun Jian's martial arts, and this county magistrate who was a civil servant could only test it through the superficial aspects.
The county magistrate slowed down his breathing, and then walked to the old man: "The son-in-law met Lord Taishan, and then he greeted the ground with a gift. The old man was very satisfied with his son-in-law. Although his son-in-law is not a martial arts person, his son-in-law is steady and loving the people. He is not greedy for money and lustful, which means he is good face. However, he is indeed a qualified and good official. The old man is a sensible person, so he is still very optimistic about his son-in-law.
After seeing his father-in-law, the county magistrate took the time to say hello to this "heroine." If I guessed correctly, you are Sun Jian recommended by County Chief Zhu. Well, it's not bad, and you're strong enough. Tell me, what do you want to be? "Sun Jian remembered his father's instructions just now, so he must be low-key. So Sun Jian said very humbly: "Jian is enough to be a small and medium-sized soldier in a county, how dare he have hope for him."
The county magistrate laughed: "My father-in-law has recognized you, which proves that you are indeed capable. With me, as long as you have the ability, you can have a suitable position. You are naturally indispensable. I still lack a subordinate of the sect and the position cannot be empty all the time, Sun Jian listened. "Sun Jian still clasped his fists and bowed: "Sun Jian obeyed the order." From now on, the county magistrate officially appointed you as the subordinate of the county. You must cooperate well with the thief Cao to maintain the foundation.
The peaceful days of the people of all sizes in the county. "Sun Jian heard that he gave such a high-ranking official, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "Sun Jian thanked the county magistrate for his appreciation. Sun Jian must have fulfilled his mission and did his best for the people of the county. "The county magistrate smiled with a hearty smile: "It's very good, please get up quickly." After helping Sun Jian with his hands, the county magistrate patted his shoulder and said, "After going back to meet his parents and relatives, packing up all the things, come to the county magistrate's office for formal employment. Look, I have brought the letter of appointment here, look."
As he said that, the county magistrate took Sun Jian's appointment from the sleeve. Sun Jian was of course very happy. The old man was very happy. Then the county magistrate took Sun Jian to the lobby. After all, this place was not a place to speak, but it could be the first to show enthusiasm. Can it be close to it, and it is convenient for the future work. The two of them also reported the officers and soldiers of the foreman, and arrived at the lobby together. Sun Jian was a warrior after all, and obviously felt uncomfortable with this way of kneeling. The county magistrate even joked with Sun Jian, which made Sun Jian very embarrassed. However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Jian completely let go of his defenses to come to another place and became really familiar with the county magistrate.
The two discussed their work, and the county magistrate said: "Today, Cao, the thief, isn't there, otherwise you two can get to know each other in advance. After all, will you work together in the future? The thief, Cao, is Han Chang, who is over 50 years old. He used to be a village chief in the Youzhou border army and has rich combat experience. Although he lacks an arm now, he still has power. He may not be as powerful as you in terms of force. But you must learn from him humbly when fighting command. I believe that you two will work together to clear the bandits as soon as possible and give the people of the county a quiet and peaceful life." Sun Jian immediately said that he would definitely live up to his mission.
At this time, the county magistrate remembered: "I remember your family is not very wealthy." Sun Jian nodded: "My father is just a farmer, and his life is pretty good." The county magistrate touched his beard: "The downstream of the door is not given a residence. If you say that, you must live in this county town in the future. You must find a place to stay. If you see your family, it is very rare to buy a better yard here now." The county magistrate was indeed to be honest. Sun Jian's face was a little embarrassed. At this time, the county magistrate clapped his hands, and Sun Jian's eyes also fell on him: "This way, you will live in my place after you come. The county magistrate's residence is quite large. I have a small courtyard that is not far from the county magistrate's mansion. I don't live anywhere now. It's a pity that it's empty. You just live there. There is a main house and two side houses, so you live there."
When Sun Jian heard that his chin almost fell off. Good guy, this county lieutenant really valued himself. Not only did he give him an official, but he also gave him a house. Sun Jian knelt directly: "My lieutenant is very kind to Sun Jian, and Sun Jian will never forget it!" The county lieutenant was very happy. After Sun Jian got up, he said: "My father-in-law is only my wife and my father-in-law have a close relationship. We are a good family. You still call me the county lieutenant in front of others on the surface, but if you do it privately, you can call me uncle, so you will look closer." Sun Jian also understood that he should be climbing along the pole now, and immediately called him uncle. The county lieutenant also agreed happily. From now on, Sun Jian's official career has officially begun.
Sun Jian's part is temporarily completed
