Chapter 76

Fengri City, Dongcheng restaurant.

Today is a rare rest day. All officials, large and small, in the Yamen can have a rest except those who need to stay.

As the population department that coordinates all population related affairs in the forty-three cities under the jurisdiction of fengri City, it is also rare for all staff to take a rest.

Today is the thank-you banquet organized by the chief official Zhan Wenlin.

Ten days ago, Zhan Wenlin's mother-in-law passed away in her hometown. Many people in the Yamen knew the news, including Zhan Wenlin's superiors and colleagues, took time to go there, gave some funerals and offered incense.

In Jingxi, there is a custom to thank the guests. It is generally selected within one month after the old man is buried.

The boss's thank-you banquet was held yesterday. One table is enough. Today, however, Zhan Wenlin arranged two tables, all of which were colleagues of the population department.

"My Lord, Zhao Chongwu said he was not feeling well today, so he went back first. You haven't been back to the public house before, so he asked me to compensate you."

Zhan Wenlin's title is six grades, so his subordinates call him an adult.

"Hehe, team Zhao is not coming? It's all right. I'll buy him another drink next time. Sit down and the wine and dishes will be served right away."

After a burst of politeness, everyone in the wing room sat down in order, with 17 people at two tables.

Zhan Wenlin sits in the middle of the main table at the top. On the left is Yang Kaishi, the adjutant, and on the right is Wang Da, the head of the class. He was the one who helped Zhao Chongwu, another head of the class, make an apology just now.

"Before the death of the old man at home, everyone at home remembered their wishes. I prepared a thin wine to express my gratitude. I'll do it first!" Zhan Wenlin raised his glass and got up. After saying these words, he looked up and drank the wine in the glass. It's just that they use a small cup, a glass of five yuan wine.

Zhan Wenlin made a toast here, and the others got up one after another, picked up their glasses and drank them all at once, and then the atmosphere began to be lively.

Unlike other yamen departments, the population Department has no direct law enforcement power, only management power, so it is not rich in oil and water and belongs to a place with relatively clean water. However, although there is clear water, the people who work in it are much simpler than those in other places. Because there are few disputes over interests, most situations can be handled with an ordinary mind.

After drinking the wine, the conversation box opens. Tomorrow is the rest period. These people are not afraid of drinking too much and causing trouble. Instead, they talk about some sensitive topics rarely mentioned in ordinary days.

"There's a lot of news about the black flag camp recently. Have you heard of it?"

"Yes, it's estimated that Xuanqing guards have turned the sky. How many people are jealous that all the positions above the small flag officer have been raised half a level out of thin air?"

"It's more than that. Although the black flag camp is the internal setting of Xuanqing Wei, its terms of reference are clearly divided into" internal "and" external ". In my opinion, this black flag camp can be regarded as the Xuanqing Wei in Xuanqing Wei."

"Ha ha, that's a good saying. Xuanqing guards in Xuanqing guards, tut Tut, incisive! Let it be known!"

"And wow, it's said that Licheng black flag camp, which has been set as an example, has been in the limelight again recently. It has set up a kind of cabinet in their jurisdiction. Everyone can deliver the paper inside and directly submit it to the general flag of the black flag camp! Is this ultra vires?"

"Shh! Be careful! It's better not to say such words. Moreover, it's not called a paper. It's a" report letter ". It's said that many people with complaints are delivering letters inside, but I really don't believe that their general flag can be seen one by one."

The topic naturally slipped to Licheng black flag camp. Not only among these people, the black flag camp is a topic. In fact, in all places in fengri City, whether in official or high-class business, the black flag camp in Licheng is a topic in private.

"I don't know. But when it comes to Shen zongqi, I admire him very much. Who dares to fight against the Li family with his head firmly? In the end, he not only slaughtered the Li family up and down, but has been promoted and made rich."

When it comes to the Li family, several people present have very unnatural faces and sweat on their foreheads. At the beginning, the Li family scattered money in the whole circle of officials in fengri city. Even the population division, which is a rare place to go, was taken care of. These people really sweated at that time. Fortunately, the black flag camp obviously didn't study deeply, and all the officials who received the Li family's money were not affected.

In this way, many officials in fengri city still have quite good intentions towards Licheng black flag camp.

"Well, it's better to talk less about the black flag camp. Many of them are unreasonable. And now the black flag camp is on the air outlet, which is easy to provoke right and wrong. We'd better drink a bar!" Zhan Wenlin smiled and interrupted the louder and louder discussion. He felt it was inappropriate to talk to xuanqingwei in the restaurant.

Moreover, the bartender in the restaurant has always been in the wing room. It's not good to talk about so many sensitive topics in front of this outsider.

"What adults say is, drink!"

"Yes, yes, drink!"

"I suggest we make a drinking order. How about a poem for each person? If you can't make it or it's out of date and fruitless, you'll be fined three drinks, okay?"

"Good!"

A group of people agreed that this kind of entertainment of drinking with poetry was very popular in many places. For a time, the wing room was in full swing, and poems of different levels appeared one after another. These people who didn't drink much soon flushed.

"Man, go and get two more jars of wine." when Zhan Wenlin saw that the wine in the wine jar was about to reach the bottom, he ordered the waiter of the restaurant waiting in the wing room to serve the wine again.

"Good Lord."

The liquor store lasted until night. These drunken population commanders came out of the restaurant with their shoulders crossed and their faces flushed. They walked unsteadily.

Zhan Wenlin and Yang Kaishi had servants at home driving to pick them up. They had been waiting downstairs for a long time. The rest can only shake at home with each other. Some drinkers have to mutter whether they want to go to the flower building for another play.

......

As soon as these drunken officials left in front and back, the shop assistant who had been waiting for them in the wing turned and came out of the back door of the restaurant, and then quickly walked into a dark alley.

At a corner of the alley stood a tall and strong man.

"Brother Feilong."

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"Yes! As you ordered, I carefully smelled the smell of each of them while pouring wine. As a result, five of the seventeen people had different fragrance of Pan Ling Stone."

"Five?! are you sure?"

"Of course! Brother Feilong, you don't know. My black dog's nose is a famous spirit. I have one hundred meipan, so I'm very familiar with the aroma of Pan Lingshi. As long as it's attached to me, it won't disperse in three or five days. It's useless to take a bath and change clothes. However, ordinary people can't smell it, but I can smell it. I can't be wrong!"

"Who are they?"

"The principal officer Zhan Wenlin, the Deputy Officer Yang Kaishi, and a class leader named, yes, Wang Da, the other two, Cheng Xu and Wang Jingci."
