In the back hall of the Anxi County Government Office, County Magistrate Liu sat on the grand master's chair, sipping fragrant tea leisurely.
Drinking tea is one of his hobbies, County Magistrate Liu doesn't have many hobbies, closing the door and messing around with his concubine in the room is one of them, and drinking tea is next.
The tea is good tea, which was given to him by the county magistrate a few days ago, and the county magistrate is also a good tea person. Magistrate Liu has been thinking about the tea leaves in his collection for some time, but the other party has been unwilling to give up. After the county lieutenant was taken away by the people from the government office, the county magistrate seemed to be a different person. Not only did he serve good tea readily, but when talking to him, his attitude was much more humble than before.
Having been an official for many years, magistrate Liu certainly knew why the county magistrate had such a change.
A few days ago, Lieutenant Zhou County was found corrupt and broke the law, accepted bribes, and used the public to seek personal gain... Anyway, there were a lot of crimes, and he was sent back to the government office by the general judge. I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future.
In the past, these things seemed very normal to them.
There are probably none of the county government officials who can be called honest and selfless.
Charging a small amount of money and making it easier for others are all harmless things. As long as the matter doesn't become a big deal, even he will turn a blind eye to it.
The county magistrate had done these things of course. The problem was that Lieutenant Zhou, who was not the same as him, was taken away just like that. When he heard the news, the magistrate of the county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
If he was found, wouldn't he end up in the same fate as Captain Zhou
After several days of worrying like this, nothing happened to worry about, so he was slightly relieved.
It seems that the county magistrate Zhou was just a bit unlucky, not that the higher-ups wanted to thoroughly investigate these officials. However, although he felt a little more at ease, he restrained his behavior a lot. He dared not do small tricks secretly. If there are any rumors from above, he will know immediately.
For the county magistrate's overtures, County Magistrate Liu of course accepted everything he ordered. At this moment, he half-closed his eyes, sipped the tea, and was still reminiscing about the conversation with the concubine just now. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. With the sound of hurried footsteps, a yamen servant rushed in hurriedly.
County magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows. The last time county lieutenant Zhou had an accident, it was this guy who rushed in. Seeing his flustered appearance this time, could something serious happen again
Regardless of the fact that he didn't knock on the door, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"My lord!" the yamen servant panted heavily, and said, "Someone is here from the former yamen, and he came from the capital!"
"The capital city!"
County magistrate Liu exclaimed, the people from the capital did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked towards the front hall.
A quarter of an hour later, County Magistrate Liu changed his official uniform, and followed the two eunuchs who came from the palace to leave the yamen.
The two of them are indeed from the capital, and the imperial decree cannot be faked.
But he came all the way from the capital to announce the decree, just to reward a small county lieutenant. When did the decree become so worthless
Of course, the imperial decree would not be so cheap. Magistrate Liu has been an official for so many years, and he has only seen it twice.
You know, when he himself took office, he only held a letter of appointment in his hand, but now a county lieutenant under his command can actually be conferred by His Majesty's imperial decree, how can he be appointed by His Majesty in the future
In the past, there was a female head-captor with a high status, and the lord of the government personally warned him not to offend him. Later, there was a county lieutenant who asked His Majesty to personally seal it. What's the point
"Lead the way ahead, to Li's Village!"
When he was in the yamen just now, County Magistrate Liu had already investigated the soon-to-be Li County Lieutenant. At this time, he took a group of yamen servants and led the two to Lijia Village to announce the decree.
"There's no need to go to Lijia Village!" A light voice came from behind, County Magistrate Liu looked back, and found a heroic figure walking out of the county office.
"male… "
When the two eunuchs passing the decree looked back, their expressions suddenly changed, and they were about to kneel down to salute. Li Mingzhu waved to them and said, "If you want to proclaim the decree, go directly to Ruyifang."
…
In Ruyifang, Li Yi was lazy and didn't come today. Apart from the four girls in the shop, there was only Lao Fang who was sitting in the corner who was bored and had already started to doze off.
In the intermittent dream, I followed my uncle to make money and bought a big house, and there was someone to take care of everything. After I had been with her for a long time, the wicked woman in the family finally allowed me to take a concubine. The little red girl welcomes home...
"Who is Li Yi? Your Majesty has an order, kneel down quickly to meet him!"
Suddenly, a loud roar woke up Lao Fang from his dream, his body trembled, the mansion was gone, the servants and maids were gone, and the little red girl was gone...
"What are you shouting for? Go to the funeral!"
The dream was disturbed, Lao Fang was furious in his heart, and he didn't see who was coming, so he cursed at him.
"presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
The faces of the two white-faced and beardless men sank, they glared at Lao Fang, and said coldly almost at the same time.
As eunuchs who pass the decree, they are fine in the palace, but when they are out of the palace, whoever sees them is not respectful and greets them with smiles, how can they be scolded like this before
What did this guy just say
Funeral
How dare you describe His Majesty's will as going to a funeral? It's courting death!
County Magistrate Liu who was following the two of them also had his eyelids twitch, where did this come from a bastard? Can such bastard talk be said
"Why, still want to do it!"
Lao Fang was awakened from Meimeng's anger, his eyes widened when he heard this, his body took a step forward, and a burst of momentum immediately overwhelmed him.
Is it reasonable to disturb people's dreams
Just now, these two guys seemed to have called my uncle's name. Judging by their posture, are they here to seek revenge
Thinking of this, the aura emanating from Lao Fang's body became stronger.
The expressions of the two eunuchs changed, and then they turned completely cold, and they shouted loudly: "Take him down!"
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and those who don't know are not guilty..." Before the yamen servant outside the door came in, County Magistrate Liu hurriedly waved his hands, looked at Lao Fang and said, "You rascal, these two are the ones sent by His Majesty today. Where is Li Yi who came to pass the decree? Tell him to come out to receive the decree!"
"Accept the order?"
Lao Fang looked at the man in the official robe, then at the two eunuchs, and stood there in a daze, his mind blank.
A few women stood by the counter, looking at them with shock in their eyes.
"Where's your uncle?"
Just when Lao Fang's heart was turbulent, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"At...at home." Lao Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a trembling voice.
