At night, Xiao Liu, Lao Xing, and the ten newcomers that Lao Xing had just recruited today came to Tongfu Inn together with the invitation of Lao Xing, and planned to have a good meal.

After all, I will be fighting against the bandits soon, so I have to comfort everyone.

Of course, in addition to welcoming these newcomers to join, this dinner was also considered a celebration of Xiaoliu's promotion.

Old Xing didn't expect Xiaoliu to be promoted so quickly. You know, he had been withstanding for many years, and finally he picked up Ji Wuming by chance, so he became the headmaster.

But Xiao Liu, the constable, has only been a half month, and he was promoted to the deputy captain by exception.

This is really, people are so angry!

He had to sigh that Xiao Liu's life was so good. Not only was there a master's gift for martial arts secrets, but his career prospects were bright.

However, Old Xing was not jealous. He knew that the reason why Xiao Liu was promoted to deputy captain this time was because of the emergence of these bandits, which led to the urgent need for available personnel in the county.

And he couldn't take care of so many newly recruited people, and the yamen runners in the county yamen were useless. Xiao Liu was bold and meticulous, and had good martial arts skills.

It can be said that Xiao Liu was in danger.

After this group of bandits were removed, everyone's salary would be reduced, and most of the newly recruited people would leave again.

By then, Xiao Liu's so-called deputy captain would have just had a name.

County Magistrate Lou, Lao Xing, and Xiao Liu knew this very well, so in order to compensate Xiao Liu, County Magistrate Lou also specially asked the superiors to promote Xiao Liu to deputy inspector.

The deputy inspector and the deputy inspector are different. The captain is just a title of an official, while the inspector is a serious official, responsible for maintaining public order in the area.

The deputy inspector, from the ninth rank of official positions, was treated the same as the regular inspector of Lao Xing.

Judging from the attitude of Magistrate Lou, he obviously had already made plans. After Old Xing retired, he would directly ask Xiaoliu to take over his work.

However, although he had already noticed that Xiaoliu was designated as the next captain of Qixia Town by Magistrate Lou, Lao Xing didn't care at all.

Because in his opinion, that must have happened after he retired.

After all, with his diligent work over the years, he has no credit and hard work. As long as he does not make any mistakes, even if Xiao Liu makes a great contribution, he will not be able to replace him directly.

At most, the superiors will first raise one of them to the Six Gate headquarters.

No matter which one it is, the master himself will not suffer any loss.

"Liu, Magistrate Lou values ​​you so much, you must do it well." Old Xing patted Xiaoliu's shoulder and encouraged him.

If your apprentice can really take over as the captain after retirement, it will definitely be a good thing.

"It's the master, I will definitely not embarrass you." Xiao Liu responded happily, but then he looked behind him with some concern.

"But Master, is it really OK for us to do this?"

Xiao Liu looked at the dozen people following behind. Not only were there newly recruited constables, but there were also some yamen runners who were not on duty. Now they were making trouble. They just ran out for dinner, aren’t they afraid of making County Magistrate Lou angry?

Looking at Xiao Liu's worried look, Old Xing smiled.

"Don't worry, I've already asked the magistrate Lou before coming out. I'm not stupid. If I don't have the permission of magistrate Lou, I dare to come out to eat and drink like this. Do you want the official hat on my head?"

Hearing Lao Xing's explanation, Xiao Liu nodded quickly.

‘Indeed, I am not a person who will be confused at such a critical moment.’

Seeing Xiaoliu Mingwu nodding, Old Xing smiled, then cleared his throat, turned around and said loudly to everyone.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

"Everyone, Magistrate Lou said that all the brothers are the heroes who are about to fight against the bandits and protect the people of our Seven Heroes Town. So let Xiaoliu and I entertain everyone tonight, order whatever we want to eat tonight, and don't let Magistrate Lou down on his good wishes."

"Thank you, Magistrate Lou, thank you, Captain Xing and Deputy Captain Yan!" A few who know how to do things naturally knew what Old Xing meant, and hurriedly thanked him.

The rest of the people also thanked them.

The passing people, looking at the fighting spirit of so many groups, listened to what they said, were even more confident in the yamen of the Seven Heroes Town.

Xiao Liu looked at this scene and couldn't help but say intimately, "What a wonderful thing!"

Sometimes things are done, but if they are not shown, it is no different from not doing it.

Now that Old Xing said this loudly, he not only showed the government’s actions to the people, but also calmed the people’s hearts.

At the same time, he also gained a wave of reputation. No matter what the future result will be, the superiors will punish the behavior of the county magistrate Lou and his current behavior.

But in the eyes of the people, the seven heroes of the county government, the magistrate of Lou, and the captain Xing were all people who were doing practical things.

In addition, this also strengthens the hearts of these newcomers.

Perhaps they were only attracted by high salaries before and did not know their responsibilities very well, but now they do know how to tell them that they are going to fight bandits and maintain local public order.

So many people are watching, everyone is acquaintance, and after such publicity, they can no longer retreat in the end.

After all, I have eaten and taken it, so I have to do something.

Looking at Lao Xing's words of the Three Eagles, Xiao Liu was a little curious that this was what his master thought, or was taught by the magistrate Lou or the master.

Seeing everyone's affection in a high manner, Old Xing was also very happy. However, he did not forget to attach himself to Xiaoliu's ear and whisper to Xiaoliu.

"Sixth, although this magistrate Lou agreed to let us go out for a dinner, the money for this dinner will not be reimbursed, so..."

Old Xing didn't finish his words, but Xiaoliu knew what he was going to say. Xiaoliu quickly replied in a low voice.

"Don't worry, master, I happened to be promoted today, and I'm just going to treat everyone to a big meal."

Thanks to the emergence of bandits this time, Xiao Liu and Lao Xing's monthly salary were temporarily mentioned to be five cents per month.

Of course, he hasn't gotten the five cents yet, and Xiao Liu hasn't even received a monthly salary. After all, he has only been a constable for half a month.

However, Xiao Liu still had some savings in his hands, so there was no problem with his promise.

"Shh, how can you give it all? Master means that we are half of the money per person. County Magistrate Lou said that this dinner is for the yamen, but the yamen cannot reimburse the money for the dinner, so we have to pay in advance. As for how much money is paid in advance, the next salary will be paid in our monthly salary."

Old Xing quickly explained that although he likes to take advantage of his apprentice, it would be unreasonable to take advantage of his apprentice. After all, he has never received a salary.

"Really!" Xiao Liu was also a little overjoyed. It was so good.

"Of course, you haven't received your monthly salary yet, so Master Qian will give you the money first. But if you pay the salary next month, you have to return it to your teacher. You still hope to drink some good wine." Old Xing said hurriedly.

"That's sure master." Xiao Liu replied quickly, but followed him and suggested in a low voice.

"But if you want to drink, it's better not to drink from Zhangguan Tong's place. It's a bit dark here."

Old Xing smiled when he heard this. "You are stupid as a master. Who doesn't know about Zhangguin Tong mixing water into the wine? He used to have no money and couldn't do anything about it, but now he has money. Hahaha!"

Looking at Old Xing's smirk, Xiao Liu immediately understood.

"Let's go back and wait until the Yihong Building opens. I will personally take you to try the Fenjiu from this authentic Xinghua Village. I heard that the shopkeeper of the tournament went to Xinghua Village in Shanxi in person and transported a large number of Fenjiu back."

Old Xing said to Xiaoliu excitedly that as a wine lover, he had long been salivating about this authentic apricot blossom wine.
Chapter completed!
