Chapter 53 The Little Yamen Runner

Li Zhi choked up a little while eating noodles.

"Wow, wow, so delicious."

"I've never eaten such delicious noodles in my life!"

Su Bai also held the bowl and said, "This noodles are really delicious. It's the best noodles I've ever eaten in my life. If possible, I really hope I can eat it every day."

"By the way, Mr. Gan, do you still have the masks?"

"I found that this thing is much more effective than sesame oil, and it is more convenient to use. If you have this, you can greatly reduce the risk of infection." "

Yes, they are all in the guest house. It's too late today. I'll go back tomorrow morning to check."

In fact, Gan Tian gave a lot of masks, but there were so many people that those masks couldn't last long.

Although it was dark, several people did not go to bed immediately. Instead, after a short rest, they devoted themselves to a new round of work.

The road to exterminating rats is long and arduous.

Several people walked forward in the night with lanterns.

"In one day, we only cleaned up a small area. At this speed, when will we be able to deal with all the rats?"

Gongsun Yue sighed: "If it were in Mubei, in Tongmen Pass, I would only need to inform the servants, close friends and brothers in the mansion to help."

"Why don't we go to the county government tomorrow to see if we can find the county magistrate here to help."

"Okay, then we'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Gan Fanren and his friends got up early, ate some porridge, put on masks, and went to the county government with some new masks that had not been used. "

Before reaching the county government office, about ten meters away from the government office, they were stopped by a roadblock.

A yamen runner shouted from a distance: "Who is it?"

"Brothers, we are doctors. We want to see the county magistrate about something. It's about the epidemic. Please inform him."

"No, no, our magistrate is very busy. How can he have time to see you?"

"Besides, the epidemic is so serious now. Who knows if you are infected? What if you infect your magistrate?"

Gan Fanren had expected to be stopped, so he immediately took out a mask.

"This brother is right, we really shouldn't see your magistrate. Please help pass on a message and tell him that the epidemic in this city is plague. "

The plague is transmitted by its own kind. We hope that the county magistrate can send some people to help us kill rats and reduce the number of rats at the source..."

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll tell your Excellency. You guys hurry up and leave."

The bailiff waved his hand in the air and drove them away impatiently.

Gan Fanren put the mask on the roadblock.

"This is a new thing we happened to discover called a mask. Wearing it can reduce the chance of getting the disease. I hope you can help us present it to your Excellency. "

Seeing that the yamen runners were becoming more and more impatient, Gan Fanren pulled away Gongsun Yue and Li Zhi who were reluctant to leave.

Gongsun Yue struggled, trying to get rid of Gan Fanren's restraints.

"Brother Gan, let me go. Look at them, it's obvious that they don't take our words to heart!"

"If I don't give them a warning, I'm afraid they won't tell the county magistrate honestly."

Gan Fanren patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be impulsive."

"We are new here and are not familiar with Xiaoye City. It's not easy to make enemies. "

Gongsun Yue opened the fan and waved it, making a whirring sound, stirring up some of the tiny hairs.

If he had not experienced what happened to the previous magistrate of Tongmen Pass, he would have refuted Gan Fanren, thinking that being so timid was a loss of the character of a scholar.

But now he understood that Gan Fanren was right!

Although Gongsun Yue was unwilling, he could only fan himself, trying to calm himself down.

"What should we do? I don't think it's so easy for them to help us pass the message. "

Although King Yan is easy to meet but the little devils are hard to deal with, sometimes we can get a glimpse of King Yan's governance methods from the little devils. If King Yan is a strict disciplinarian and does not tolerate any sand in his eyes, then no matter how arrogant the little devils are, they will not dare to deceive and hide the truth. At most, they will make things difficult for them."

"We might as well observe the little devil's style of behavior in secret and then consider what to do next. "

That's right, just like the case of Mubei County, where the county magistrate is full of evil thoughts but talks a lot about righteousness and morality, as if he has sacrificed a lot for the people.

Most of his subordinates behave in the same way as him, saying nice things but doing things that are despicable.

They walked into an alley and then quietly looked at the yamen runners.

Although the distance was a bit far, their conversations could still be heard vaguely.

Several yamen runners were heard discussing: "Is this mask really that effective?"

"Who knows? Some of them said they were doctors, but they didn't even have a medicine box on them. I think they might be liars!"

"Then should we give these things to the county magistrate? "

Give me shit, I've been working in Xiaoye City for so many years, and I've never seen these doctors. What if they are liars?"

"What if this thing is some kind of evil thing?"

"Just throw it away."

A younger yamen runner with a baby face hesitated: "Looking at their clothes and their conversation, they don't look like ordinary people, especially the one holding the fan, he looks like a son of a wealthy family."

"Will it be bad if we deal with these things privately?"

"After all, these things are presented to the adults by them. Even if we want to deal with them, the adults should decide how to deal with them."

He just said a few words and was pushed.

"You know shit! "

"You have no right to interrupt us elders when we are talking. Get out of here! You are the son of a carpenter, are you worthy enough to stand with us?"

"If your father hadn't saved my life, you wouldn't even be worthy of pouring night incense for the county government!"

"Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you."

"Trash should stay with trash, hahahaha..."

A thin bailiff threw the mask on the baby-faced bailiff, then walked away laughing.

The other bailiffs ran to the side to rest, only the baby-faced bailiff remained on duty.

He carefully put away the mask and stood under the scorching sun to work seriously.

Gan Fanren pointed at the baby-faced man and said, "We can approach this guy."

"Maybe he can help us."

Gongsun Yue looked at the baby-faced man and shook his head, "Is this guy stupid? Obviously those guys are bullying him."

"If what you gave him is not an important item, it would be fine. He would just be humiliated. If it is an important item, if something goes wrong in the future, they will definitely put all the responsibility on this little yamen runner."

Gongsun Yue asked in astonishment, "Since his father is the savior of the county magistrate, why doesn't he go to the county magistrate to make a decision for him?"

Gan Fanren smiled and shook his head, "I can see that you don't know the suffering of the poor when you see your wise brother."
