The series of strange things that happened in Bocheng County start with the former county magistrate Zhen Mengde. For the people of Bocheng County, Zhen Mengde is not a good official, but it may not be necessary to say that he is a mediocre official who is procrastinating, just doing things, and is very confused.

Such officials are everywhere, and Zhen Mengde is mixed in, so he can't show any special difference.

Zhen Mengde has never been very concerned about the taxes of Bocheng County. At most, he charges some anti-theft money and grain. The amount is not very large. When it is spread to the people, everyone is not burdened. There are always many people in Bocheng County, so they don’t say much, so they can collect some anti-theft money and grain. Anyway, as long as they can live.

Moreover, whenever there is a rumbling horse near Bocheng County before collecting anti-theft money and grain, there will be a lot of noise around Bocheng County. However, once the anti-theft money and grain are paid, the rumbling horse will not be a good deal and no more trouble. The public security near the county town will be much better.

The people of Bocheng County joked in private, saying that anti-theft money and grain did not seem to be given to the government for anti-theft, but it was a bit like tribute to Xiangma. Xiangma was very trustworthy. After collecting the money and grain, they would not cause trouble again. Before collecting the money and grain, they also knew how to make trouble. I would like to remind you that it was a urge for money and grain!

Hearing this, Li Rizhi sighed in his heart. He had a hint of luck, thinking that Zhen Mengde might not be a loud horse, but now it sounds like that even if Zhen Mengde is not a loud horse, he is still a person related to the loud horse. When the loud horses sit on the ground to share the spoils, they must give him a copy.

Wang Erhao continued to say that it was precisely because of Zhen Mengde that the annual assessment of Bocheng County was acceptable in the state. Zhen Mengde could always be an official in Bocheng County, but local officials did not like Zhen Mengde very much because he could not be promoted and others could not be promoted. This was equivalent to blocking the local officials' ambition.

So all the officials who were a little motivated in Bocheng County were transferred away. Anyway, they were not an official position, and Bocheng County was not a good place to become an official. You can be promoted quickly if you transfer it here, so there is no need to be nostalgic.

As a result, over time, those who can become officials in Bocheng County are basically stumble. Although many people can see that Zhen Mengde has problems, no one is willing to cause trouble. If everyone can, they will be stumble. Anyway, even if they can, they will not be missing a single piece of work and food silver.

Zhen Mengde is very particular about paying the Industrial and Food Bank. He never deducts and never defaults. He will send as much as he should and will send as much as he should. From the perspective of his boss, he is absolutely in place.

In addition, Zhen Mengde's kindness is just living and does not urge officials to work, so regardless of the people's opinions, in the eyes of the officials of Bocheng County who are stumbled, Zhen Mengde is definitely a very good boss.

Hearing this, Li Rizhi thought: "Although a large part of these words were figured out by Wang Erhao himself, it cannot be said that it is wrong. The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, Zhen Mengde intentionally indulged officials of all sizes, and the large and small officials also indulged Zhen Mengde, so they were put into a jail collectively, which can be regarded as a result of their own fault, no one else's fault."

An official like Zhen Mengde could maintain the position of county magistrate. No one would have thought that he would go further in his career.

Just a few days ago, Zhen Mengde was promoted for no reason. Of course, for ordinary people, Zhen Mengde was indeed promoted for no reason.

After Zhen Mengde was promoted, of course, a new county magistrate would have to take over, so a person from another place, who was named Wu Penghui, was transferred to replace Zhen Mengde's position. The new county magistrate had completely different temperaments and had no similarities in his behavior.

Li Rizhi said in his heart: "Wu Penghui, who was a Jinshi, must have been robbed by Xiangma on the way to Bocheng County. Then Xiangma's leader pretended to be Wu Penghui and ran to Bocheng County with a bunch of his subordinates to become officials. Maybe the fake Wu Penghui is Zhen Mengde's accomplice, one is the governor of the state and the other is the county magistrate. He has to live a comfortable life!"

After Wu Penghui became the county magistrate, he not only increased taxes, but also built large-scale construction, such as building the village outside the city and repairing the city walls. In addition, he was even more concerned about the repair of the mountain roads climbing Mount Tai and the construction of Fengshantai, and urged the county officials to work hard, and at the same time, the collection of the people was also aggravated.

Of course, Wu Penghui did not force the people to no avail. There must be no such intensity as the late Sui Dynasty. However, compared with his predecessor, the strengthening of the efforts of the people also increased the burden on the people, causing a lot of complaints and even hatred.

But the people did not resist. After all, they were still within the level of tolerance. As long as they could endure, no one was willing to do too much. Besides, it was very difficult for them to do too much, and it was even difficult to see Wu Penghui.

But the officials had a way. Of course they could speak to Wu Penghui. Some well-known officials went to ask Wu Penghui for some relaxing work.

Wu Penghui is very particular about doing things. As long as someone comes to ask him, he will definitely meet the other party's requirements. He doesn't want a relaxing job? Yes, such as being responsible for repairing steps, drawings on the beams of the halls, and supervising the wall painting of various buildings on Mount Tai. These errands are supervising workers, easy to judge their merits, and they are related to procurement. They can be considered rich in quality. If you are not clean at hand, it is very easy to make a fortune, but there is one thing that is bad. These errands are all about leaving Bocheng County, and they are all considered to be on a business trip.

Moreover, the business hours are very long. At least they can go home and reunite with their families after the Fengshan ceremony is successfully completed. After all, they are responsible for face work. Of course, they must do enough face. Going home early is not allowed to have a warm bed.

In fact, it doesn't need to be like this, but Wu Penghui insists on doing this, otherwise he would not want to get a good job. Officials of all sizes have no choice but to agree.

At the beginning, the errands that could be obtained were of course the best errands. The officials who received the errands happily bid farewell to their families and went out of the city to do a job. Of course, they never came back once they left, but there was no need to worry, because everyone knew the date of return, which was the end of the Fengshan ceremony.

More and more officials were asking Wu Penghui to ask for errands. When more than half of them got the errands left, the remaining half could no longer sit still, and their herd mentality broke out. Except for a few officials who were completely unmotivated and had not had any errands, almost all officials had heided.

And the several officials who refused to go on foreign affairs were sent to Wu Penghui for various excuses within a few days.

Those officials who got errands could not have good results. As soon as they left the city, they were robbed by a horse, then loaded into the city and then transported into the prison. It was dark under the lights, and officials of all sizes were locked in the county government. No one would have thought that no one would think about this, because it was too incredible!

In this way, under the strong request of officials from all over the world in Bocheng County, they were all imprisoned in jail in batches. Before that, I'm afraid even they themselves had never thought that even if others told them, they might not believe it!
