Compared with Liuye Village today, compared with two or three months ago, there is no doubt that there is a difference between heaven and earth.
There was a drought last year, and the barren mountainous land had no grain harvest. Although the imperial court had reduced or exempted taxes for two years, I don't know how many people are struggling below the line of food and clothing only with the food stored at home.
But looking at it now, those skinny and bony brats who ran around the village before can finally see some flesh on their bodies, gnawing on a big bone stick in their hands, and there are always one or two dirt dogs beside them, Staring at the bone in the bear's hand, he kept wandering around.
The new houses of several families have already been built, and the neighbors often help out, and finally ask their mother-in-law and aunt to cook a good meal, and reward the neighbors who have worked hard. For decades, this has been the default habit of the villagers in the village.
A few men were working and chatting with the left and right at the same time, when they suddenly noticed movement coming from the entrance of the village, they looked up, and they all froze there.
A few figures on horseback caught their eyes first. After entering the village, the horsemen dismounted unhurriedly. They could see clearly that more than ten soap-clothed officials followed behind them. walked in.
Has there ever been so many officials in Liuye Village, and the faces of several people have changed slightly. Could it be that someone in the village has committed a crime, and these people are here to arrest people
"Look, is that... old Fang?"
One of the men saw a familiar figure walking in front, and immediately said in surprise.
"It's Lao Fang!"
"Why did Lao Fang get together with the official?"
"What are these people doing in the village?"
A few people looked surprised. Seeing these people enter the stockade, they followed them from a distance, and did not dare to get too close. They couldn't help but exclaimed when they found that they stopped in front of a certain courtyard. .
"Are they here to find Missy?"
"No... I'm afraid I came to find my uncle."
"Could it be that my uncle..."
Just as their complexions changed, more and more people began to notice the movement here.
After all, Liuye Village is located in the mountains, and it is not connected to other villages. Normally, outsiders rarely come in. This time, there were so many people here, and they were all dressed as official servants. It seems that things are unusual!
Old Fang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Li Yi was teaching Xiaohuan how to turn double buns into ball heads in the yard, when he heard the knock on the door, he said casually, "The door is open, come in."
Casting a glance, seeing Lao Fang coming in, he couldn't help being stunned.
What happened to Lao Fang today, he actually knew to knock on the door
However, Li Yi's complexion changed slightly when he saw the officials who filed in next and the two strange men in the lead.
What's happening here
Why so many officials
Could it be that Lao Fang committed something
The little maid was also taken aback by the situation, and hid behind Li Yi with a pale face, looking nervously at the officials.
Hearing the movement from the front, the two women walked out of the inner courtyard. Seeing the situation in front of them, Liu Ruyi's beautiful eyes shrank slightly, and one hand was already on the hilt of the sword. Liu Ruyi's pretty face also changed. The man walked up to Li Yi quickly, Ruyi turned to look at him, and asked, "Sir, what do these people do?"
"Who is Li Yi, come out and receive the order!"
The eunuch's cry made everyone froze there.
"Accept the order?" Li Yi's face changed, what order
Sister Liu Ruyi looked at him.
The eunuch's voice was not low, and everyone outside the door heard the voice.
Everyone looked at each other with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.
"There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, why don't you kneel down to receive it?" Usually when the decree was announced, he had seen many people who were frightened and dumbfounded. The eunuch glanced at him, and he didn't think it was strange, so he said something coldly.
Crash!
Before Li Yi knelt down, Liu Zhixian and the officials knelt down first.
When the imperial decree is read out, it is as if the Son of Heaven has come in person. Not only the person receiving the decree needs to kneel down, but also the people around him.
There was another "crash" sound, and the villagers outside the door also knelt down.
Although they haven't seen the imperial decree and don't understand these rules, how dare they not kneel even if the officials are kneeling
Liu Ruyi took her hand away from the hilt, and after the sisters looked at each other, they also knelt down.
In this Jingguo, the current emperor is the most honorable person, and this concept has penetrated into their blood.
Watching them kneel down, Xiaohuan followed closely behind.
For a while, apart from the two eunuchs, Li Yi was the only one standing.
Looking around, a trace of helplessness emerged on his face, he walked up to the two men, knelt down, and said: "The grassroots accept the order."
Situation is better than people. Although he really doesn't want to kneel, he still doesn't want to be accused of disrespecting the emperor.
"Even the imperial decree is here, which bastard framed me?" After kneeling down, he murmured in a low voice, and the first thing that popped into his mind was the man he met a few days ago who claimed to be a professor guy.
Apart from that incident, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
The eunuch twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard what he muttered in a low voice, and almost lost his temper on the spot, but when he thought of the princess' order just now, he suppressed his anger and read out according to the imperial decree.
Listening to the eunuch reading a lot, Li Yi probably understood the reason, which means that the "Disciple Regulations" contributed to the enlightenment, and then he praised him. Before he finished listening, Li Yi already had a bottom line in his heart.
Now, the position of a student officer may not be able to escape.
When he was thinking like this in his heart, the eunuch had already read to the end: "...Yufeng Er Anxi County Captain, Jiaer Guanrong, Yongxi Tianfa, Qinzai."
"Xian, county lieutenant..." Li Yi raised his head suddenly, with an expression of disbelief.
Because of his meritorious service to enlightenment, he was named... county captain
This bitch is okay
This corner is too sharp and too big, right
This matter is completely unreasonable, who is cheating him
"Li County Lieutenant, hurry up and receive the order!" County Magistrate Liu on the side saw him standing there in a daze, and urged him involuntarily.
Taking the opportunity to look at him a few more times, I couldn't believe it in my heart, this young man will be the county captain in the future
"Can you not take it?"
After finally meeting someone who seemed kinder, Li Yi looked at Magistrate Liu and asked tentatively.
The last time I was just talking to Li Mingzhu, God is sorry, he never thought of being a county captain!
Suddenly, Li Yi seemed to have thought of something, and a dazed look appeared on his face.
"You want to resist?"
Before magistrate Liu could speak, an eunuch looked at him and asked with unfriendly eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to be an official?" Li Yi looked at him and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have resigned from office because of their high morals and integrity?"
"So... they are all dead!"
The eunuch looked at him with a sneer on his face.
