He Zifeng and Qiu Yu arrived at the county the next day. After setting up the stall, they went to the county government to report.

A man named Brother Xiong came over to receive him: "You must be He Zifeng, you are so strong." He said enthusiastically: "The old mayor is my benefactor!" He somehow managed to win the favor of the old mayor back then. He was given a job as a driver in the yamen, and he worked steadily for two years, and then spent some money to make up for the vacancy of the yamen.

Here there are three taels of silver a year. Some rice and noodles are also distributed during the New Year, although this little money will be enough to live on.

But no one who can wear this set of clothes lives purely on salary. Everyone has their own way of making money, although they can't make much money. But he has to take care of the big shots at the merchants who often come in and out of the county government, but he also has to feed the small fish and shrimps, right?

There are really rich people whose hair is thicker than their waists. If you encounter a loose-handed master, you will be given three or five taels at a time.

He Zifeng said: "Brother Xiong, you are senior. If you need anything, just call me!"

Brother Xiong said: "Our job is light. We search the streets twice a day. If we encounter a fight, we will give him two punches. No one needs to give face. Then we will find a place to stay together and wait for the arrest in the afternoon. We can go home and hug my wife." This is the daily life of the old man in the yamen.

Brother Xiong was really taking care of him. He didn't know where He Zifeng was from. The old mayor has not crowded anyone in ten years. This year he was arranged to be a yamen servant. The old mayor is very optimistic about him. In this case, he is happy to be a good person.

In addition to He Zifeng, Brother Xiong also brought a man named Panzi.

There are fifty government officials in the county government office, each with their own errands. Some are from the county magistrate, and some are from the master. There are also headcatchers. They fight with each other, and little guys like them who patrol the streets can't get in front of such a big shot.

He Zifeng had just arrived, but he still patrolled two streets seriously. Not to mention, it was true that he should respect Luo Shan first and then others.

Everyone was a little in awe when they saw him, and there was no fight or trouble. Occasionally, a few beggars would disperse before he could get closer.

According to Brother Xiong's words, after patrolling the streets, the rest of the time will be your own. He went to the stall and saw that Qiu Yu had sold out and closed the stall.

He Zifeng quickly came over to help him close the stall.

Qiu Yu's eyes narrowed when she saw He Zifeng. But he said: "You are wearing these clothes, don't help me work."

"What's that?" Sure enough, the stall owners nearby saw He Zifeng put on the clothes of a government servant. There was a bit of awe in his eyes.

He Zifeng helped him close the stall and asked Qiu Yu to finish buying meat and pigs and drive the cart back first. Qiu Yu would also drive the cart.

Qiu Yu said: "I'll wait for you."

"I still have time. Go back and take a nap first, then work with the three sisters-in-law in the afternoon. Don't be too tired." He Zifeng instructed.

Qiu Yu blushed and said, "How can we be so tired from just such a little work?" Then he remembered something and said, "If I take Qinghua away, how will you get home?"
