Chapter 80 Harsh Punishment (First Update)
The first snow in the third year of coming to this world came a little later than usual.
On this day, Fang Yue packed his bags and prepared to return to the village.
However, before going back, you must first go to the Yamen to receive this year’s benefits for martial arts graduates.
With the permission of the imperial court, Wuju people will be given ten taels of silver and a pair of secret bone-forging medicine every month.
It is said that the secret bone-forging medicine distributed by the imperial court was not specially prepared for that technique.
But I don’t know what medicinal materials were used in it, but the efficacy is several times better than the secret medicine of the same grade in major families and martial arts schools.
You can receive it for half a year at a time.
Fang Yue doesn’t know when he will come to Xiahe County next time. Of course, he must collect his share for the past six months first.
The effort of one stick of incense.
Fang Yue came to the county government's warehouse.
The warehouse is built like a pawn shop, with officials working behind tall counters.
Those who came to do business could only raise their heads and talk to the officials behind the counter.
I don’t know if there are very few people here, but the officials here are very leisurely.
When Fang Yue came over, the official doing the work was dozing off on the counter.
Well, it really doesn’t matter where it is.
The job in the yamen must be comfortable. If this was really an outside pawn shop, the shopkeeper would still be able to let the clerk doze off in broad daylight.
If nothing else, aren’t you worried about losing things in the store?
But who knows this is the Yamen, but I am not afraid of someone coming to the Yamen to steal things.
Of course, looking at it like this, no one cares about sleeping on duty.
"Ahem~"
Fang Yue coughed twice deliberately.
"Who is this? What do you do? No work today? Come back tomorrow if you have something to do!"
The official who was sleeping on his stomach did not even raise his head, and the voice of dissatisfaction murmured.
Good guy,
When Fang Yue heard this, he immediately felt like he was dreaming back to his past life.
I still remember one time when he went to the bank to apply for a card, and the salesperson had such an attitude.
It's almost time to get off work and we won't be doing any business anymore. Let Fang Yue come back tomorrow.
I didn’t expect that in another world, I would encounter such a thing.
Bang bang~
Fang Yue knocked on the counter directly this time, and the dull sound woke up the sleeping staff.
This is a middle-aged official. At first glance, he looks like a veteran in the yamen.
At this moment, the official looked at Fang Yue with an impatient and unhappy look on his face.
"Which family are you a servant? Why are you so ignorant of the rules? Don't you know that you don't work before noon?"
"Go back now. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow."
The official looked Fang Yue up and down, and immediately regarded Fang Yue as a servant of some family, here to help the master.
Hmph,
What happened to the servants of the big family? They are not servants.
No matter how majestic the master he follows is, here, this is a yamen, and servants must know the rules no matter which house they are in.
“Oh, if you’re in a hurry, it’s not that you can’t be accommodating, it’s just that you’ll have to pay extra for this.”
Fang Yue hadn't spoken yet, but the official was rubbing his hands and smiling obscenely, looking like he was asking for favors.
The movements were very skillful and blatant. It seemed that it was not worth doing this kind of thing for the first time.
Seeing that Fang Yue didn't speak, the official felt that Fang Yue agreed, so he immediately continued.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
If the things you do are different, the money you have to give is also different.
Of course, how to set the price depends entirely on the mood of the staff working on the day. This is called discretionary and flexible pricing.
"I'm here to collect the moon silver from the martial arts people and the secret bone-forging medicine for the past six months." Fang Yue naturally didn't know what was going on.
However, he is a military officer, and his status is much higher than these officials.
"Well, are you collecting the secret medicine for your master? What a coincidence. There are only three sets of secret medicine left. I don't know if there are any extra ones in the treasury."
The official has put on a smiling face. It turns out that he is a servant of a certain martial arts family.
So good.
It seems that I can make a fortune today.
Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to work in this benchless department if they couldn't get some kickbacks and get some benefits.
Anyway, the martial arts people would not come to the Yamen in person to collect money and secret medicine. Their servants were still inferior people in the final analysis.
It’s nothing to take the opportunity to make some money.
Martial arts practitioners all care about face, and usually no one would trouble them for a few taels of silver.
Of course, those who are truly capable in martial arts, and the officials in their warehouses, will not make it difficult for the servants of the other party's family.
In other words, only those martial arts practitioners who are not strong in power can take advantage of the situation.
Typically watching people order food.
“Hmph, why haven’t I heard that the yamen has this rule?”
Fang Yue frowned slightly and his face became serious.
Good guy, he took the martial arts examination just to live a good life.
It was just to avoid being bullied in this ancient society. Unexpectedly, I just came to get the benefits I deserved.
In this county government office, the officials in charge of the warehouse were actually making things difficult.
"There is no such rule? Do I understand, or do you understand? If you don't pay, don't disturb people's dreams here. Go back and come back tomorrow."
When the official heard what Fang Yue said, he almost became angry.
He is just a servant, of low status, but he still dares to tell him the rules.
Here it is the rule. "Hey, isn't this Fang Wuju? Why do you have time to come to the Yamen?" At this moment, a surprised voice sounded.
Fang Yue turned around and saw the examiner who was in charge of the examination a few days ago walking over.
"Haha, are you planning to return to your hometown to recuperate after receiving the secret medicine?"
This person gave him a lot of rest time that day, Fang Yue could naturally see it, especially Huang At this time, the other party had delayed a cup of tea.
Fang Yue was naturally impressed by this person.
"Zhang Jiu, why don't you hurry up and get the matter done for Fang Wuju? Why are you still dazed? Why don't you hurry up? If I miss Fang Wuju's matter, I'll take it upon you."
Assessor He turned around and scolded the clerk in the warehouse.
Even the county magistrate attaches great importance to Fang Yue, otherwise he would not have hinted that he would give Fang Yue some convenience.
This party is getting more and more powerful and cannot be offended.
The clerk in the warehouse turned pale at this time.
Even though there were still snowflakes falling outside, the sweat on his forehead was still oozing out.
Offending the servants of the martial arts masters and offending the martial arts masters are two different concepts.
There is a big difference between offending ordinary martial arts practitioners and offending popular martial arts practitioners.
Seeing the attitude of his immediate boss, this junior official didn't know that Fang Yue was anything but ordinary.
"Yes, yes, yes, Fang Wuju, please wait a moment. Please take a seat and have a cup of tea first. I will get it for you right now."
Zhang Jiu wiped his sweat and hurriedly gave The immediate boss and Fang Yue watched their seats and made another pot of tea for them.
“Did you offend Fang Wuju just now?”
"If you don't hurry up and apologize to Fang Wuju, Lord Fang Wuju will give you a lot. Maybe I will spare you this time!"
This examiner is also a human being. Looking at Zhang Jiu's attitude, you know that this person must have just been The difficulty is over.
If it were another martial arts practitioner, one with little future, at most he would not offend him, but he would not blame his subordinates harshly for a martial arts practitioner.
Although the people in the military examination can already wait for the appointment of officials, but when there is an official vacancy and it happens to be available, then I don’t know when it will happen.
“Fang Wuju, I offended you a lot just now, please forgive me.”
Zhang Jiu quickly bowed his hands, bent deeply, and apologized to Fang Yue.
Fang Yue didn't speak, he just held the tea bowl and blew slightly. The sound of celadon clashing was particularly loud.
It is better to be speechless than to be speechless at this time.
Zhang Jiu felt that Fang Yue was still blaming him and not ready to let him go.
I was immediately frightened and wanted to kneel down to apologize.
"It's not surprising if you don't know. I still have some things to do. Official Zhang should quickly get me the monthly money and secret medicine from the yamen. This is important business." Fang Yue said.
Although Zhang Jiu is a villain, there is no need to offend him to death.
Just teach him a lesson.
Sure enough, Fang Yue was forgiven.
Zhang Jiuruo was granted amnesty, and went into the warehouse with tears of gratitude to get Fang Yue's benefits as a military examiner.
As for Fang Yue and the examiner, they were more enthusiastic. They exchanged names, which can be regarded as a thorough understanding through this incident.
"Secretary Wang, there is no need to send it off. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave."
After burning the incense, Fang Yue completed the procedures for receiving the welfare of the military examiner, and then went to Treasurer Wang, the examiner of the examination, said goodbye and left.
After that, Fang Yue went to the boxing gym again.
After he became a martial arts examiner this time, his treatment in the boxing gym was even more different.
The news had spread a long time ago, and this time the concierge dared to embarrass him.
Seeing Fang Yue coming from a distance, he opened the side door.
Although this man is from the same generation as Master Fang Yue, he is not good at martial arts and has no fame, so he is just a gatekeeper to the martial arts school.
Such an identity is incomparable to Fang Yuena today.
Of course I don’t dare to neglect anymore.
Entering the martial arts hall, the master Zheng was not in the martial arts hall, so Chen Tong met Fang Yue.
"Nephew Yue, you did a great job this time. You scared even an old guy like me."
"I originally thought you were just going to see the martial arts and human sciences this time. I took the test, but I didn’t expect that I was admitted right away!”
Chen Tong was also a little sad. There are actually only five martial arts candidates in their White Tiger Boxing Gym.
This still includes Fang Yue, the newly promoted martial artist.
Originally, the martial arts school was not optimistic that Fang Yue would win this time because Fang Yue was still too young.
Only twenty years old.
And I just started exercising my bones before the exam, so it only took about two months.
To what extent can Tuogu Pass reach this level?
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the test.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yue actually passed the exam and passed the martial arts exam.
And defeated Huang Ziyou in the competition.
Chen Tong couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the Huang family.
This time we must take this opportunity to deal with the Huang family properly.
"Master, I'm overly praised. I was just lucky. I didn't expect that I happened to be proficient in the subjects of the martial arts assessment."
Fang Yue smiled slightly. Luck still accounted for a large part of his ability to pass the exam.
After all, if Wu Ce’s results were not good enough, he would definitely not have been able to achieve ninth place that day.
Finally, maybe this time the martial arts examination will really gain your knowledge.
