Chapter 300: Winning People’s Hearts
On the second day, the sun peeked through half of his body, and Lin Xiaofan slowly got up from the bed. After breakfast, when we went to the Yamen, most people had already arrived, and some detectives were already preparing to go on patrol.
When everyone arrived, he first told everyone about the candidate for the group leader, and then called Li Chuang alone.
This 1.8-meter-tall, unshaven man, with a naive smile on his face, cupped his hands and said:
"Magistrate Lin."
A few days ago, his wife had just given birth to two children for him, and he was having a headache about how to support them. As a result, he became the team leader. From now on, the daily salary of thirty cents will be sufficient for the family's expenses if they are frugal.
Moreover, Lin Xiaofan cracked down on corruption and bribery as soon as he took office. He is obviously an official who is dedicated to the people. With him here, the people in Degao County might be able to live a good life for a few years.
When he was nine years old, both his parents died, leaving him and his younger brother alone in the family. Fortunately, he was strong enough, and with the support of several neighbors in the village, he was able to survive until now. Because of this, he has a deep resonance with the poor people of this era.
He has a deep hatred for those officials and wealthy families who plunder the people's wealth and anointing. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't stand and looked down upon his colleagues who united the big families in the city to bully the common people.
However, he is just an ordinary policeman. In this era of official corruption, he can't do anything.
Lin Xiaofan's appointment gave all the people in Degao County a glimmer of hope, and it also gave him hope. Therefore, he has always had a smile on his face from yesterday to now.
Lin Xiaofan smiled at him, feeling somewhat fond of this stubborn man. Then he opened the topic first:
"Brother Li Chuang, how long have you been working in Degao County?"
After Li Chuang thought for a moment, he answered:
"Three years."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised. With Li Chuang's character, he probably offended many people. In this day and age, it is a miracle to have offended powerful people in the city and still be able to stand here intact for three years.
"No one has ever taken revenge on you?"
Lin Xiaofan asked curiously.
"A few times, some gangsters came and tried to kill me. But I have greater brute force, and if two of those gangsters fell to the ground, the rest would run away."
Li Chuang opened his mouth to explain.
When it comes to fighting, in this yamen, except for Bao Bao, no one is his opponent, let alone those gangsters.
Moreover, the people in the city knew his temper and would not go to his place to cause trouble. If those who are really powerful don't take action, others can do nothing to them.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and then got to the point:
"The reason I called you here this time is to ask, among the policemen in our yamen, are there many who have committed corruption and bribery?"
When talking about this, Li Chuang suddenly became excited.
"Almost everyone accepts bribes. However, most people just make things easier for others and do not do anything against their conscience. Only a few of them collude with the big families in the city and do whatever it takes to get money."
He immediately told Lin Xiaofan everything he knew.
"Magistrate Lin, I hope you will get rid of these borers."
Li Chuang said in a pleading tone.
Lin Xiaofan listened patiently and had a general understanding of these agents. He has never made any big mistakes, and if he is more honest in the future, he will not forget the past.
But he will never spare those who collude with the powerful clans to oppress the people.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take action against those who have committed disloyal and unjust acts. I will also clean up those big families who plunder people's wealth and wealth. But to do this, I need evidence and opportunity. . Now I can’t fall out with those big families, so we still need to endure it for a while.”
Lin Xiaofan said solemnly.
After listening to his explanation, Li Chuang had a little more tears in his eyes.
How many years! In Degao County, a county magistrate who considers the people finally came. As long as he could remember, the county magistrates he met were all greedy for pleasure and oppressed the people.
As long as he could wipe out the big clans that oppressed the people, he was willing to tolerate it for ten or twenty years, let alone tolerate it for a period of time.
He forced himself to hold back his excitement and asked:
"Magistrate Lin, what should I do?"
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiaofan was secretly happy, and Li Chuang felt that he had received this.
"It's still the same as usual. If you catch someone taking bribes, come to me and report it as soon as possible. By the way, be louder, just like you did before, and don't let others see the problem. Also, call Guang Wencheng over. , the door doesn’t need to be closed.”
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to make arrangements.
After Li Chuang left, Guang Wencheng arrived soon. Seeing that the door was not closed, he stood at the door, knocked on the door twice with his hand, and said:
"Magistrate Lin."
After waiting for a long time, Lin Xiaofan did not answer him. Looking carefully, the other person seemed to be writing something.
Magistrate Lin, what are you writing?
He felt a little more curious, and then he thought, it was Lin Xiaofan who asked him to come here anyway, so there was no harm in going in directly.
When he came closer, he saw Lin Xiaofan frowning, taking the pen in his hand and refusing to put it down.
On the bamboo slip, a poem has been neatly written.
"Don't laugh, Lord, who is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times."
Guang Wencheng read it in a low voice, chewed it in his heart for a moment, and felt shocked. A simple poem expresses the tragedy on the battlefield.
Thinking back to when he joined the army, which battle was not extremely dangerous? At the worst time, tens of thousands of troops were trapped in the city for half a year, and only a few hundred survived.
The more he read, the more charming he felt, and he unconsciously praised:
"What a poem!"
His sudden words startled Lin Xiaofan, and he dropped the brush onto the bamboo slip without holding it firmly, and erased some of the verses on it.
Guang Wencheng's expression changed and he quickly said:
"Magistrate Lin, I have no intention of disturbing you. It's just that your poem is so well written that I can't help but praise it."
Thinking about it, he felt extremely anxious and lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Xiaofan.
Not only did I secretly read the poems written by others, but I also interrupted their train of thought. If I were to think about it in another person's shoes, I'm afraid I would be furious on the spot.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no curse. He raised his head slightly and saw Lin Xiaofan staring at him intently, his eyes bright.
"Could it be that Brother Wen Cheng is also interested in writing poetry?"
Lin Xiaofan grabbed Guang Wencheng's shoulders and asked.
County Magistrate Lin didn't get angry because of this?
Guang Wencheng thought in his heart, and without daring to show any slightness, he hurriedly responded:
"County Magistrate Lin, I have been fond of reading since I was a child, and I am also very interested in writing poems. This poem is simply amazing! I have read hundreds of books and countless poems, but none of them can compare with yours."
He meant what he said. The poems he read were far different from those written by Lin Xiaofan.
