Everyone handed in the booklets they brought with them to the table one by one, and gradually a small pile of books was piled up.
Song Yin nodded and was about to say something to Su Yougen, but suddenly he was stunned and his eyes fell on Yao Ningqing beside him.
It's not that he was paying deliberate attention to him, but no one in the hall dared to look at him, except this person, who had a burning gaze, as if he was probing something.
"This is"
"Master, his name is Yao Ningqing. When I was trying a case a few days ago, he came up with a good idea."
Su Yougen took out a file and said, "This is the case that Yao Ningqing solved in the past few days. It's very powerful. Master, I think it would be better for him to be the governor."
This Yao Ningqing was the person who fainted at that time.
At that time, he didn't know how to punish him, but this man appeared and solved his problem. However, he fainted immediately. Later, he found out that he fainted from hunger. After waking him up and giving him food, Su Yougen saw that he could read, so he simply hired him as a staff member of the prefectural government.
Yao Ningqing's performance was amazing.
Since the last case was solved, it seemed like some floodgates had been opened, with people constantly coming forward to complain. Yao Ningqing handled them all single-handedly, and the punishments were moderate, which made people convinced.
And the files contain the cases that were registered in the past few days.
Wang Er stole three hundred taels of silver from his neighbor and was forced to do five years of labor. He is now guarding outside the city.
Zhao Daniu was convicted of stealing chickens and sentenced to six months in prison. He is now a guard outside the city.
In the case of moving the backyard fence of Qian and Sun's families, the Sun family was sentenced to move the fence back horizontally and was fined 20 kilograms of potatoes.
The case record not only records the exact time, but also the case details, including the punishment method, and the severity is well measured.
Even Song Yin himself couldn't do this.
How would he know how to sentence
“What a talent!”
Song Yin bowed to Yao Ningqing and said, "Thank you very much. This punishment is very strong. It lets the people in the city know the law. As long as there is a standard, they will not commit crimes."
Yao Ningqing returned the greeting and said, "You're welcome. Since you hired me, this is all my responsibility. If you give me the power, I can easily formulate the laws of this city, and even take charge of the local politics, so that the people in the city can live in peace from now on!"
"oh?"
Song Yin's eyes lit up, "Do you have such confidence?!"
"Master, he is super awesome, and what he says makes a lot of sense." Su Yougen echoed.
He had no idea about what it meant to be in charge of government. His main task was to deliver offerings to the Golden Immortal Sect.
As for the affairs in the city, it was the master who ordered it, otherwise he would not have wanted it.
"I can handle the administration. I also heard from Brother Su that the offerings from your Golden Immortal Sect are only for daily expenses. Apart from that, they have never harmed anyone. And they saved people from the Xumi Meridian. I am willing to believe you. But this 'big master', you said that immortals and mortals are one. If your disciples make mistakes, will you really follow this law?"
Yao Ningqing didn't avoid Song Yin's eyes at all and looked straight at him. Upon closer inspection, he found that his body was very tense.
"You"
Wang Qi frowned and was about to speak, but Song Yin waved his hand and said, "Of course, immortals and mortals are one. If a Golden Immortal Sect member breaks the law, he will be punished just like a mortal. Even if I break the law, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
He stared straight at Yao Ningqing, his eyes not avoiding him at all, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he said this.
"Really?" Yao Ningqing asked again.
It was already rude to treat a mortal like this, but he had to ask again.
“Fuck you, who are you talking to? Senior Brother never lies!” Wang Qizhen couldn’t help it anymore, he glared at the man and was about to go up to him.
Yao Ningqing curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of disdain.
Sure enough, all the sects in the world look the same.
You shouldn't expect
"I, Song Yin, don't lie!"
Just as Wang Qi was about to take a step forward, a shout came from Song Yin's direction.
Song Yin shouted with a scorching gaze: "I, Song Yin, say what I say, and it goes like this!"
"Are you willing to swear to heaven?" Yao Ningqing still refused to give up.
"It doesn't deserve it!"
Song Yin said, thought for a moment, and said, "I swear in the name of my master that immortals and mortals are one, and this will never change!"
"Not worthy?"
Yao Ningqing was stunned by these words, but he seemed to realize something, shook his head and said:
"Okay! I don't want the position of prefect, give me the position of chief clerk, and let me manage the affairs of the mortals!"
He cupped his hands, "I promise, I won't let anything go wrong in this Bai Shou City!"
Song Yin nodded and said, "Very good, I can't thank you enough for your willingness to work. Although this Baishou City is protected by us, it is you who will make it better. If you can stand up, more people will stand up. After all, one force is not enough to save the world. Immortals and mortals are one. Only when Qigong practitioners and mortals work together can they be qualified to make this world clear."
As he spoke, he looked at the books and said, "Let's talk business first. Now that the household registration books have arrived, let's register them and integrate them to see how many people there are in the Hundred Guards City."
"Sixty thousand households."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Ningqing said, "In the Baishou City, including those who came from the north, there are a total of 61,306 households and 210,000 people."
"???"
Zhang Feixuan blinked and asked, "How do you know?"
“I have a photographic memory.”
Yao Ningqing flicked his sleeves and said proudly, "Since I came to the city, I have been walking around the streets and alleys, taking note of the people in every household. Since you are so serious, I am willing to believe you this time. Let me be in charge. Before I die, I will set up this government structure!"
"amazing"
Song Yin's eyes sparkled and he shook his head: "But you won't die."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and two pills flew out, hovering next to Yao Ningqing.
"This is.?"
"Qi-boosting pills, spirit-boosting pills."
Song Yin said: "I see that you have traces of absorption from Feishizhai and Youshengwushengmen. These two pills can cure your illness."
"Feishizhai? Dachu? Photographic memory"
Zhang Feixuan seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Yao Ningqing: "Are you Yao Ningqing?!"
"Hasn't his name been reported?" Wang Qizhen asked curiously.
"No, I mean, are you the 'child prodigy' Yao Ningqing?"
"child prodigy."
Yao Ningqing was slightly startled, looked at Zhang Feixuan, and said: "Jiuyuan's name, are you also from Da Chu?"
Zhang Feixuan shook his head: "I am not, but I am next to you. I am from Dayue, but I live next to Dachu. I have heard of your name before I became an immortal. You were a rare child prodigy back then. Your name has spread to me, but how can you be a mortal? You should enter..."
He closed his mouth, glanced at Song Yin who was sitting in the first seat, and said: "In short, you should not be a mortal."
Yao Ningqing, before he started practicing Taoism, this man was very famous. Although Zhang Feixuan was from Dayue, because he was close to Da Chu, his fame also spread to him.
Back then in the Great Chu, Yao Ningqing was the most famous person with supernatural powers. He had a photographic memory, quick thinking, could compose a poem in seven steps, and was also capable of governing. When he was a child, he formulated laws and implemented political achievements in the city where he lived. Those policies even spread to Dai Viet.
Zhang Feixuan remembered that his family had implemented those convenient measures in the past, and the results were very good.
However, he should have been favored by Fei Shizhai a long time ago, but why is he still a mortal now
