Waiting in the house are still far away are the main "officials" in the county. To be precise, they are three "officials" who have not yet been eliminated by Shang Yuan. Since Shang Yuan arrived in Fengtai County, he began to use members of the People's Party to replace the main "officials" in the county. The first is the "government servant". During the Manchu Dynasty, the government officials themselves not only had to undertake various security work, but also had to undertake many other tasks, such as collecting taxes and collecting people's husbands. Anyway, it's a very versatile profession.

According to the system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the "officials" selected through the imperial examination acted as the administrative leaders of various localities, but there was no way to govern the localities by relying on the officials alone, and the state naturally could not recruit a large number of manpower to serve as grassroots administrators, so the local officials could appoint "officials". For example, Shang Yuan himself is a person who can be appointed as a magistrate. However, the "officials" under Shang Yuan were not produced through the imperial examination, but were either locally hereditary or "recommended for recruitment". Although these people do not have "official status," they have a great say in the local political system, and these "officials" are all from the local government. It's a snake on the ground.

In the political system of the pattern of Chen Ke's structure, there is naturally no room for the existence of such old-style "petty officials". Chen Ke was prepared to adopt a bureaucratic system that mimicked the republic.

The biggest difference between the bureaucracy of the New China Republic and the bureaucracy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the previous dynasties is that the republic is "not divided between officials".

Roughly speaking, in the Manchu Qing system, the administrative director was the "official", and the specific administrative work was the "official". Without passing the imperial examination, there was no system in which "officials" were promoted to "officials".

In the republic, no matter whether you are an "official" or an "official", you must pass the organization's selection and test, and those who are selected are collectively called "state functionaries". The "state functionaries" also do not have a chance to climb to the sky in one step. The cadres of the republic all start from the grassroots level, first do the work of "officials", and if they can perform well, they will climb the stairs in the selection system and step by step to a higher level of post.

This selection system must have been countless times more sophisticated than the political system of the Manchu era, and it ensured the unity and competitiveness of the administrative apparatus. As long as you are included in the "state worker" system, you have the opportunity to enter and exit the phase. In the Manchu era, there was no chance for a petty official to become an official "within the system".

However, the so-called "strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", and those who can mix with "small officials" in the local area are not ordinary people. Therefore, the People's Party originally formulated a plan to get rid of the petty officials, but people are not as good as heaven, and after the flood, the power of the insurance group expanded violently, and by organizing the victims, the People's Party has completely grasped the real power in the local area. The officials in the county government have been set aside. The "county magistrates" above ignored them, and the people below were completely controlled by the insurance group. On the day that Zhang Youliang was eliminated, Shang Yuan told several officials in charge of taxation and government officials that they were "laid off", and Shang Yuan told them very clearly that he hoped that these people would automatically ask to leave. This saves everyone's face.

These people are here today to give a final reply.

Chen Ke felt that he had been very murderous recently, or that in the face of a complicated situation, Chen Ke's patience had been exhausted. He has decided to take a "simple and brutal" approach to solving some of the problems. He had already instructed Hua Xiongmao that if these people "occupy the pit and don't", then they have to "take some measures". Anyway, the People's Party is not short of manpower, and in the current situation, there is no need for the existence of petty officials.

Since he had this thought, Chen Ke didn't want to "put his heart to heart" with these people at all. He came with him just to hear the attitudes of these people. Shang Yuan himself also meant this. As a bureaucrat and landlord, Shang Yuan had a very bad impression of "small officials". As a bureaucrat, the petty officials are in line with the yang and the yin, and strive to elevate the existence of the officials. For the landlords, the petty officials are a group of tyrannical extortions and prestige. At the same time, Shang Yuan, who was a landlord and a bureaucrat, resolutely supported Chen Kedang's plan to level the officials.

These officials are also from some positions in the county, although Shang Yuan ordered them to dismiss themselves, but until now, they are still not afraid. On the contrary, these people looked very much like to "fight in the ring" with Shang Yuan.

"The county magistrate, the villain doesn't know what he did wrong. The prefectural magistrate should treat the villain like this. Liu Wenwen, who was in charge of money and food, asked. Liu Wenwen is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and inherits his father's paperwork.

"Liu San at the dock said that you asked him to find a way to prevent the insurance group's boat from docking at the dock. The official felt that in this extraordinary period, he should have worked together to help the disaster. Don't you feel guilty about doing this? Shang Yuan asked sharply.

Liu San is a relative of Liu Wenwen and occupies the docks in Fengtai County to buy and sell. During the disaster relief period, the insurance group recruited boats, and also bought large ships to transport grain, Liu San has always been very angry. However, the insurance group has never given Liu San a chance, and now Shang Yuan has brought up this topic, although Liu Wenwen did have some ideas, but he felt that since Liu San did not really act, this crime was naturally not established.

"Lord County Commander, you are fabricating accusations." Liu Wenwen knew that Shang Yuan would never give up with him, so he simply put aside Fang Cai's respectful look and said sharply.

"Fabricating charges? This official has fabricated your charges, what are you going to do? Shang Yuan sneered.

"You!" Liu Wenwen didn't expect that Shang Yuan, who looked very civilized on weekdays, would be so unreasonable. But he really couldn't argue with it.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't collude with Liu San?" Shang Yuan said with a laugh, his eyes were cold, staring at Liu Wenwen tightly.

"I, I dare say!" Since this is the case, Liu Wenwen simply toughened to the end.

"Bring Liu San in." Shang Yuan shouted. The soldiers of the insurance regiment outside answered, and not long after, a man with a white complexion was dragged in. The three officials were all inexplicably surprised, Liu San was originally a black and thin man, but now the whole person has become white and plump. Only after careful identification did I see that it was Liu San.

Chen Ke almost laughed out loud when he saw everyone's surprised looks. This Liu San soaked in the dark "water prison" for a day, and the whole person was soaked and "haired". Naturally, it is "white" and "fat". The advantage of reading a book is that he is well-informed, and Chen Ke has more insight on the Internet. The KGB had a long history of torture, and the result was that torture was only the result that the torturer wanted to hear. And Chen Ke didn't want Liu San to tell the "truth" at all. So after he caught Liu San, he resorted to a less bloody waterboarding.

One of the methods used by torture to inflict pain and despair is to prevent the prisoner from accustoming himself to a certain kind of suffering. You've got to reinvent yourself and create pain from a different angle. So he first hung upside down and suffocated, and hung Liu San upside down into the water for a minute and a half at a time. Without anyone asking, Liu San was repeatedly put into the water for half an hour. Liu San wailed and repeatedly said that he could do anything.

The torture officer asked Liu San about Liu Wenwen's collusion with Liu San to try to sabotage the insurance group's transportation, but Liu San refused to do so at first. So the torturer adopted the method of "inviting the king into the urn" to Junchen. There is no shortage of coal in Fengtai County, so find a big urn and put the willow three bundles in it, and burn coal underneath. Liu San ate hot and arched outward, and the torture officer poured vinegar into Liu San's nose. As soon as he poured it down, Liu San completely succumbed.

Whatever the torturer told him to say, he said. Let him sign and draw, and he will sign and draw. In order to consolidate the "persuasive effect", the torturer did not move Liu Sanshu according to Chen Ke's wishes. In particular, the head was fixed, so that Liu San could not move at all except for his eyes. Then soak in closed water with no light for a day. If you can't move, you can't relieve the pressure, and the dark water prison can greatly destroy the human spirit. The Americans had done this at Guantanamo, and Chen felt it was important for him to learn from the experience of democratic questioning.

After dragging Liu San out, the effect was really like the effect of the US military, and Liu San's whole person collapsed. Except for "whitening", Liu San has no scars on his body.

"Liu San, who instructed you to make trouble for the fleet of the insurance group." Chen Ke asked.

Liu Sanmu glanced at a few people, and then pointed at Liu Wen. "It's him." Although he soaked for a day, Liu San himself had a dry mouth and a dry throat. It sounds like an old man.

"You're working out to prison!" Liu Wenwen shouted angrily.

"Liu San, take off your shirt and let them see that they haven't hit you again." Chen Ke asked.

Liu San's body shook, but he didn't move.

"Don't be afraid, I'll invite you to tea." Chen Ke said comfortingly.

As soon as he heard "water", Liu San's body shook and he almost cried. He looked at Chen Ke pleadingly, Chen Ke smiled at him, "Don't be afraid, there is a county order, they don't dare to do anything to you." ”

Liu San looked at Chen Ke in fear, and then looked at a few people around him, but saw Chen Ke pick up the tea bowl and take a sip. Liu San hurriedly took off his shirt, and took off his pants unsatisfied. Sure enough, except for "white fat", there was no scar on his body.

"Liu San, did we beat you?" Chen Ke asked.

Liu San hurriedly shook his head and kept saying in a hoarse voice: "No, no." Didn't hit me. ”

Shang Yuan didn't care about Liu San's tragic situation, he asked sharply: "Liu Wenwen, now that there is a human witness." What else do you have to say. The official doesn't want everyone to be unable to get off the stage, so you have to let the official take out the physical evidence. If there is all the human and material evidence, this official will not let you dismiss yourself with dignity. I'm going to condemn you. ”

Liu Wenwen was furious, and he snorted and was about to leave. But I saw that the door was blocked by soldiers from several insurance regiments.

"Liu Wenwen, you want to get out of this door without writing a letter of resignation. The official also told you, you can just retreat, the grain in the official warehouse is not counted, and you are the clerk in charge of the official warehouse, so you have to give me an explanation for this matter. If you wait for the official to come back and can't see your letter of request, the official will send someone to take you back to the yamen and ask about the grain. After Shang Yuan finished speaking, he didn't say much. He and Chen Ke got up together and left the yamen. Leaving a few people in the room with angry faces on their faces.

"Brother Wangshan, do you think the position of these little officials can make those landlords take the bait?" On the way, Chen Ke asked with a smile.

"Wen Qing, you don't know the hatefulness of the little official. You can't imagine the resentment of the landlords against the officials. Shang Yuan just sneered.

"That means we've got a few more chips." I'm going to go back and fight with the landlords again. Although this little episode in the middle is not very witful, but the feeling of suppressing those villains with power and violence is still very happy. Chen Ke finally burst out laughing.
