Hope for luck

Chapter 68 The Power in the Power
In the Zhengya Office of the Hou Yamen of Dantang County, this is the office of the county magistrate, and it is also the office where the magistrate is located.

A group of subordinate officials who had been waiting here for a long time and were about to ask Gao Pan for instructions, when they saw Gao Pan coming in, they all surrounded him in a flattering manner.

Gao Pan waved his hand to signal them not to go too far. When he entered the room, he first looked at Peng Ming who was writing seriously, and nodded with satisfaction.

He waved to Peng Ming and said:
"Peng Ming, that's all for today's practice, come to me..."

Hearing this, Peng Ming quickly put down the pen in his hand. In fact, he already knew that Gao Pan had come in, but he just pretended to be serious.

Seeing that Gao Pan said that he didn't need to practice any more, Peng Ming was even happier. He quickly came to Gao Pan's side and saluted Gao Pan respectfully:

"grown ups!"

"Well, I will leave these people to you to deal with. There must be no mistakes or omissions, otherwise, you will not eat today's dinner!"

Gao Pan nodded indifferently, pointed to a group of subordinate officials and said.

Hearing this, Peng Ming's face turned pale in an instant. Did he know what these people were here for, but Gao Pan actually left them to himself?
And he doesn't know how to deal with it at all?
"My lord, how can this be, Peng Ming is just..."

Seeing this, Yin Weian hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Before he finished speaking, Gao Pan interrupted him:
"I have made up my mind, no need to say more, no one else is allowed to help him, otherwise, I will definitely punish him severely!"

Gao Pan's serious words made Yin Weian shrink his neck, and immediately lowered his eyebrows and became pleasing to the eye, and stopped talking.

"Didn't you come to ask me for instructions? Go to him to handle everything. However, I remind you that if there are any mistakes or mistakes, I will definitely not let you off lightly. Come tomorrow and ask me for help." Resign!"

Then, Gao Pan looked at the group of clerks and said in a deep voice.

This made all the subordinate officials and yamen servants look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do!

Looking at Peng Ming's immature face, they were all a little confused, why did Gao Pan entrust such an important matter to Peng Ming's hands?

"Peng Ming, why are you still standing there stupidly? Work faster!"

Seeing that Peng Ming was still in a daze, Gao Pan immediately gave him a stern look, and then Peng Ming woke up with a tremor all over his body.

After a timid glance at Gao Pan, he returned to his seat and began to deal with everyone's requests in a proper manner.

Seeing this, many subordinate officials had no choice but to go towards Peng Ming.

But Peng Ming didn't know how to deal with these things at all. In the end, these subordinate officials gave Peng Ming suggestions, and Peng Ming knew how to give instructions, and the speed gradually became faster and faster.

Seeing this, the clerks and clerks who lined up at the back also made preparations in their hearts. When it was their turn to ask for instructions, they directly talked to Peng Ming about how to deal with it.

Gao Pan, on the other hand, just sat lazily on the top chair, squinting at everything in front of him.

After a while, Shi Zhichang hurried in from the outside, stared at the lively scene in the room, was also taken aback for a moment, and then bowed to Gao Pan to report.

"My lord, there are traces of those bandits. Someone saw them near Qingzhuang Town, but they disappeared after that!"

Gao Pan sat up straight after hearing this, and asked calmly:

"Where is Qingzhuang Town?"

"My lord, Qingzhuang Town is on the west side of the county seat, about twenty miles away from the county seat!"

Shi Zhichang quickly replied.

"West side? That is to say, they have been wandering around Zhonglishan, what are they going to do?"

After Gao Pan heard this, he began to mutter to himself. After thinking for a while, Gao Pan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:

"The officer knows, you continue to search, especially in the west direction, as long as you find their traces, report back immediately!"

Upon hearing the words, Shi Zhichang respectfully agreed, and then left here to inspect non-stop.

Just as Shi Zhichang left, Deng Wenshan came in with a ledger in his hand, and after handing it to Gao Pan respectfully, Deng Wenshan said anxiously:

"My lord, this is the current loan account of the Yamen Bank. There is no more money in the account to borrow, and it will have to close tomorrow!"

Gao Pan looked at it carefully with the ledger, then smiled and said:

"You've done a good job, that's what you're doing. I'll solve the money issue in the afternoon. Please rest assured Deng Dianshi, I won't let you guys close the door!"

Gao Pan's words made Deng Wenshan a little more stable, but that was all. He really couldn't think of where else Gao Pan could get a huge amount of money.

Ever since Gao Pan asked him to run the Yamen Bank of Dantang County, he recruited manpower that day, bought a store, and after a brief decoration, it opened the next day!

On the opening day, it attracted many people to patronize, and the annual profit of [-]% is like a free gift, and there are still many people who are enthusiastic about it.

In this way, the only little money in the county government treasury was also withdrawn, and it was used as loan money, and it went into the hands of the people.

And now that even the salaries of all the subordinate officials in the county government can't be paid out, Deng Wenshan feels that things are starting to get worse, and if it gets out, it will be a big trouble!
Therefore, Deng Wenshan hastily came to Gao Pan to explain the situation. Now that there is no more money in the account, the Yamen Bank of Dantang County will close down, and it has only been open for two or three days.

"My lord, can I really get some silver? At least there is a gap of 5 taels of silver!"

Deng Wenshan asked repeatedly.

"Don't worry, the money is enough, don't be surprised when the time comes!"

Gao Pan is full of confidence, as if he has been ready for a long time.

Deng Wenshan asked, and responded anxiously, then stopped talking and left Gao Pan's office room.

As for the figures of the many subordinate officials in the house, they were not the target of his attention, and he didn't even glance at them, as if this group of people were transparent.

But at this moment when he heard Zan Dian say that Gao Pan's courtyard was extremely lively, Geng Gengchen came to Zhou Zhengxin's government office on the left with a gloomy expression.

When a small official passed by him, he quickly lowered his head and walked quickly, without even saying hello.

Seeing this, Geng Gengchen's face became even more gloomy, and he quickly came to Zhou Zhengxin's room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhou Zhengxin staring at a certain place in a daze.

"Master Zhou is really free. I heard that the people in the courtyard next door are too crowded. This time we are really stuck!"

Zhou Zhengxin came back to his senses, and when he saw Geng Gengchen, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he replied calmly:
"Master Geng, why do you want to belittle yourself? I heard that you are infatuated with Mr. Wei. It seems that Mr. Geng will jump out of this small Dantang County, and it is just around the corner?"

When Geng Gengchen heard the words, the smile on his face instantly froze, and his face became gloomy, sneering, and happy, very funny!
