County magistrate Cao was more annoyed by being scolded by a young man pointing his nose, than by an older man.
She had a cold face, her jaw tightened, and she couldn't bear it any longer, "Shi Qing, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Since you insist on courting death, then I will give it to you."
After finishing speaking, Magistrate Cao shouted: "Come here, take them down for me!"
Nearly a hundred yamen servants and thugs poured in through the round gate, surrounded Shi Qing and others with arrogance.
Each of them held a long board for beating people in their hands, and they were all fierce, especially those thugs, just by looking at their expressions.
In their eyes, they probably didn't take Shi Qing seriously, as she was the only one who fell with a stick.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and stretched his hand back.
This time Yun Zhi was smart, instead of stretching out his hand stupidly in front of everyone, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind the leader of the Imperial Forest Army and handed it to her.
Shi Qing took the arrow, put it on the bowstring slowly, and said with a sneer, "There are only a few people, are they gone?"
She said, "It's not that I look down on you, you are ashamed to be a snake with just this little person, and I treat you like an earthworm because I have never seen the world to praise you."
County magistrate Cao put his hands behind his back, and smiled coldly, "Two fists are no match for four feet. You just have to fly out of the county office even with wings."
When she laughed, she was young and breathless, and she didn't know how to be afraid. A typical newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and she doesn't know it hurts unless it touches her body.
County Magistrate Cao looked at Shi Qing, and raised his voice and said, "Shi Qing, you took bribes and forced me to use rotten wooden piles to build river embankments when you first came to the county.
"In addition, he was greedy for my son's beauty and had evil intentions. After being rejected by me, he actually bit me back and planned to slander me. Fortunately, I realized it early and did not cause a catastrophe."
Shi Qing was stunned, and was taken aback when he heard it.
Beauty
Where is beauty
Lamb
County magistrate Cao's eyes were heavy, "If you don't take you down today, I will be sorry to the people of the court, and I will be sorry to my husband and son."
She opened and closed her lips, insisting that black was white.
In just a few words, Shi Qing became a heinous and corrupt official, and she, county magistrate Cao, was as innocent as a prosperous little white lotus emerging from the mud.
With a bow and arrow under his arms, Shi Qing couldn't help clapping his hands to her, and sighed: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen you so shameless."
"If you were not in the book "Peerless Thick Skin", I would be the first to be dissatisfied with County Magistrate Cao."
"With your face, wash it, fry it, throw it out and feed it to the dogs. The dogs probably won't be able to bite it."
Is this going to kill her and put the blame on her
At that time, there will be no proof of death, and it will not be what the county magistrate Cao says.
When the summer flood season arrives, the flood submerges the village and breaks the embankment, and the magistrate Cao may point the money at the county government office while pushing all the crimes on her.
Good idea.
County Magistrate Cao signaled to his subordinates with a cold face, "Take down this corrupt official!"
How could she let a junior point at her nose and scold her!
Shi Qing laughed and yelled, "Come here, take down this corrupt official!"
Isn't it just shaking people, who doesn't seem to know.
Not only did she want to point at Magistrate Cao's nose and scold, but she also wanted to output while riding her face!
If she didn't spit fragrance to her, she would really think she was a human being after approving Zhang Pi.
The voice fell, and before the thugs could react, they saw dozens of figures turning in from the top of the wall.
With such a high wall, the figure of the other party bounced and landed lightly, with almost no movement.
In particular, these people stood neatly in a row behind Shi Qing with bows and arrows in their hands. The bows were fully drawn in an instant, and three arrows were attached to each string, and the arrows were all pointing in the direction of County Magistrate Cao.
The thugs gasped in unison, glanced at the sharp arrow that was glowing coldly in the sun, the hairs on their faces stood up, their skin was tense, and even the board they held in their hands trembled.
They do evil in the small county town, mainly because their opponents are ordinary people who are helpless or local hooligans, and they have never faced people with this kind of kung fu.
Compared with them, these people are like eagles soaring in the sky, with sharp claws and thick wings, but they are just chickens wandering on the ground.
Just by looking at them with the naked eye, one can tell how big the disparity in strength is.
Under the pressure of absolute force, no one dared to move when more than a hundred people confronted more than a dozen people.
Shi Qing slowly drew the bowstring to the full, and aimed at the county magistrate Cao, "Otherwise, Bibi is it hurting to hit someone with your blade, or is my arrow sharper?"
"You, you, you dare!" Magistrate Cao was out of breath for a moment, looking around in a panic, trying to find a place to hide.
But all the bows and arrows were aimed at her. Magistrate Cao's palms were sweating, his jaw was clenched, his heart was nailed to the ground and he couldn't move.
Although the yamen servants and thugs in the yamen courtyard totaled a hundred or ten people, compared to kung fu, Yun Zhi didn't even have an arm without a sword, not to mention the leader of the Imperial Forest Army standing behind them.
It is simply a large-scale scene of abusing vegetables and chopping melons.
County magistrate Cao was aimed at her with a bow and arrow, and the thugs saw her face and actions, and all hesitated to move.
In just an instant, the situation was reversed.
"Put down the board, hold your head where you are, and those who disobey the order will end up like this."
Shi Qing loosened his right hand, and the arrow flew out of the bowstring with a "swoosh" sound, and passed by the back of County Magistrate Cao's hand with a sharp sound of wind.
Before she could feel the pain, the arrow had already exploded the teacup that Magistrate Cao had used before on the main coffee table in the main hall.
The sound of "pop" was crisp and crisp, as if it exploded in the hearts of everyone, their hearts trembled and their scalps went numb.
Shi Qing held the bow and looked around.
All the thugs who were swept by her eyes squatted down and put the boards on the ground, holding their heads in their hands and daring not to resist.
The back of the hand that was brushed by the arrow was burning, and the whole hand was trembling faintly. Cao County Magistrate didn't dare to lift it up to take a look.
She stared straight at the man in the courtyard who was holding a bow and arrow, with a beautiful appearance and a flamboyant temperament, and her breathing was tight.
Shi Qing was wearing dark bunts that had been air-dried last night. They were obviously very ordinary and plain clothes, but they gave off an arrogance that looked down on everyone.
Especially at the moment of shooting the arrow, the aura erupting from the other party was not comparable to that of a seventh-rank county magistrate.
No wonder Sun Pingmei and Li Yunqing had to be careful at first.
Such a character is also rare in the capital.
Shi Qing looked back at County Magistrate Cao, and said, "Look, I'll tell you that you're not good enough."
Mihe and the two imperial guards have already gone looking for ropes, and are going to tie up these thugs like robbers.
With so much labor, it would be nice to take a whip and go to repair the dam, it is useless.
Magistrate Cao's legs buckled and he fell to the ground.
"At least I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Even if I am guilty, it is not your turn to execute me."
County Magistrate Cao is still holding on to his last hope, pointing to Mr. Li in the capital who can save him.
Shi Qing sneered, "Who said I'm going to execute you, can't I beat you first and then hold my last breath?"
She came over and poked County Magistrate Cao's heart with a bow, "You still want to hit my honey, I have never hit her myself, how can you be so capable, and you are going to teach others for me?"
"Are you hitting honey? You are so determined that you don't intend to keep me alive. Who gave you the courage and guts?"
She had only left for one night, and County Magistrate Cao's attitude towards Mihe took a 180-degree turn. If she said that nothing happened, Shi Qing would not believe it.
Unless County Magistrate Cao was still sleepwalking, he would have the audacity to kill the imperial envoy before he woke up.
With County Magistrate Cao's tactful temperament, even if he knew that he had discovered the dam, he would not kill her directly to silence her, but played tricks.
There must be something wrong here.
Someone must have given her the confidence to make a desperate move.
Fortunately, Shi Qing was cautious this time.
She knew that she had been missing for one night, and the county magistrate Cao must have suspected her when she came back. Rather than the two of them arguing and arguing, it is better to directly clarify the matter.
Let's see who kills who first!
Magistrate Cao avoided Shi Qing's interrogation gaze, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Shi Qing said with a good temper, "It's not important what I say, but what I do."
Magistrate Cao's eyelids twitched heavily, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
Shi Qing sat on the steps next to Magistrate Cao and looked into the yard.
Mihe and Yulinjun had already tied up people in a hurry. They had the experience of cooperating with the robbers last time, and they cooperated very tacitly this time.
Shi Qing said to Mihe, "Didn't she want to hit you? I'll let you call back now."
Mihe's eyes lit up, and he rolled up his two sleeves, and asked excitedly, "Little master, tell me, how many hits?"
She wished she could kill magistrate cao today, and now that she had the chance to take revenge, she would definitely not spare any effort.
"Just hit her until she recruits, and ask who gave her the courage to kill me."
"Yan Wang?"
Shi Qing asked, "She told you in a dream that you are missing, so do you want you to go down after giving me the head?"
County magistrate Cao looked at Shi Qing, and said with a sneer, "You dare to hit me?"
Even if Shi Qing is an imperial envoy, he is not qualified to punish her.
Shi Qing let out a long-tailed "Hey" and was aroused to fight, "I'll show you today if I dare or not."
Shi Qing asked the county magistrate Cao to be carried to the gate of the county government office, put on a long bench and lay down on his stomach, and called the people in the city.
Killing chickens to warn monkeys, if officials here want to embezzle and accept bribes in the future, they might as well think about today's Cao county magistrate.
County Magistrate Cao's face paled instantly, and his lips trembled as he looked at Shi Qing, "I'm a court official!"
"You'll be gone soon." Shi Qing replied to her.
"Even if I'm guilty, you don't have the right to beat me!" County Magistrate Cao struggled frantically. If he was dragged out to be beaten and watched by the people, he might as well be dead.
Shi Qing murmured, and just as County Magistrate Cao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say, "It's okay~"
Shi Qing said: "Even if I don't have the right, I'll beat you up, the emperor must say a few words and let it go, so don't worry about me."
Who cares about you!
County Magistrate Cao was dragged out by the Imperial Forest Army and shouted, "Shiqing, if you dare to hit me, I will never let you go!"
Yun Zhi next to him frowned slightly, picked up the strongest wooden board from the ground, weighed it twice and handed it to Mi He, and asked her solemnly, "Have you eaten yet?"
If you can't, eat something before you fight.
Mihe clenched the board tightly, "I'm still energetic without eating."
Shi Qing didn't mind, "There are many ghosts who don't want to let me go, just like you, you can't even get in the front row, so go slowly."
With so many people trying to kill her, who was she afraid of
"..."
County magistrate Cao felt pain in her chest from being blocked, and she couldn't kill her if she couldn't say Shi Qing, so she writhed in anger, like a pig being pulled out of the pen.
The beggar leader was squatting at the gate of the yamen. He was worried when he heard that Shi Qing was back, but he was relieved when he saw the magistrate Cao, who was usually intimidating, being dragged out by his arms like a pig.
The young adult is definitely fine, but Cao county magistrate is a little funny.
"Hey, my lord, which song are you singing?" the beggar leader bent down with his hands in his hands and asked Cao County Magistrate who was pressed on the long bench.
County Magistrate Cao's face was as suffocated as a pig's liver, and he wished someone could kill the beggar leader on the spot.
The beggar leader is not afraid of her now.
She yelled, telling everyone to come and see why magistrate Cao was on the bench.
Hearing that there was excitement at the gate of the yamen, the common people immediately put down their work and gathered around, asking questions in one go:
"What's going on?"
"Is that the county magistrate Cao? Why is he held down?"
"Isn't it obvious? This is to beat her."
Outsiders may not know, but the local people know quite well what the county magistrate did.
Now they clenched their fists and shouted, "Hit her! Hit her! Hit her!"
County magistrate Cao breathed heavily, patted the long bench in front of him and shouted, "Shut up!"
However, her palms were all red, but no one paid attention to her.
The official authority that is usually easy to use is useless now.
Shi Qing and Yun Zhi came out, stood at the gate of the county government office, cleared their throats, and raised their hands to signal everyone to stop.
She just raised her hand, and the restless crowd just now slowly quieted down.
Magistrate Cao turned his head to look at Shi Qing and the people in surprise, not understanding why these people listened to her so much.
Shi Qing happened to have this ability to control the field, and it was all practiced when the capital was in debt.
It was much bigger then than it is now.
Shi Qing raised his voice and said, "The Cao surname took bribes, used rotten wooden piles to build river embankments, swallowed up the government's annual subsidy to the people downstream, and did not actively prevent floods and only focused on making money. The crime is heinous!"
The people looked at Magistrate Cao wishing they could eat her alive.
Shi Qing continued, "Fortunately, this discovery was made in time and did not lead to a catastrophe, such a person who has no bottom line in his heart and regards human life as nothing is not worthy of being called an official of our court. Today I will show everyone what the end of court moths are! "
The people were instantly excited.
In the past, even if officials committed crimes, they were not punished so quickly, and the people couldn't wait for the result. Today is the first time to catch up with the scene. Can you be unhappy
Late judgments are never justice, and if they want to read it, they must read the current newspaper!
Even if you want to make your heart happy.
The thug Mihe was already in place, she looked down at County Magistrate Cao, and said with a smile, "There are so many people here today to cheer you on, don't recruit too fast, or everyone will have a good time."
Magistrate Cao almost spit blood on her face.
She is a majestic county magistrate, did she come to praise the boulder in her chest? Want to let these untouchables have fun
Mihe spat on the palm, rubbed it twice, and then picked up the board in a hurry.
Just looking at her posture, she doesn't look like a well-trained entourage of a serious family, maybe she was born as a back cook chopping firewood.
She really guessed it right.
Mihe beat down with a board, and Magistrate Cao blew like a pig in an instant.
This strength is too big!
No wonder just now he was able to make the board dancers so lively in the yard that the yamen servants didn't dare to approach them.
County magistrate Cao couldn't bear the pain after only being hit by a board.
Worse than the pain is the shame of being watched.
In fact, Shi Qing had already given her face, and didn't let her pants be taken off and beaten, for fear of dirtying everyone's eyes.
However, the common people hated the surname Cao to death, and those who had been separated from their families couldn't help but pick up stones on the ground and throw them at her.
"Go to hell! You corrupt official!"
"Our county wouldn't have been so miserable in the first place, it's all your fault for hunting us down."
"You give back my family's children."
If it wasn't for him alone, why would some people have healthy limbs but no hope of life, living like a walking dead and becoming a beggar
"Calm down, everyone. The imperial court still has good officials. Officials who come to our county after this time will definitely not dare to embezzle again."
"That's right, thank you, Mr. Xiao, for this matter."
"Thank you, my lord."
I don't know who shouted, and everyone shouted together.
In the end, when Cao County Magistrate was beaten, she had to watch the people in her county kneel and thank Shi Qing for beating her.
Sin!
Shi Qing didn't expect this to happen, so he stretched out his hand to help them, "Oh, don't kowtow, don't kowtow, I'm too young, let's stand up and say something."
When Yun Zhi stood by and watched, Qing was flustered, with a smile in his eyes.
I don't know why she looks like this, but she looks very cute.
Even the leader of the imperial forest army next to him said, "It's rare to see the time when Master Xiao didn't recruit. It's rare."
This matter has to be told to the emperor when he returns to Beijing.
County magistrate Cao passed out after being beaten ten times.
After Shi Qing appeased the people and waited for them to disperse, he asked people to carry County Magistrate Cao in and put him in the courtyard.
Mihe put down the board and walked towards Shiqing, "Little master, I may know why Cao wants to kill you."
The county magistrate Cao refused to call until she fainted. His mouth was so tight that he probably wanted to wait for someone to save her.
County magistrate Cao originally thought that even if Shi Qing was an imperial envoy, he would not be able to deal with her immediately.
In the end, whoever thought that Shiqing didn't play the cards according to the routine at all, beat her up directly, and took over her county office without giving her any time to react.
She was beaten to death with a fistful of punches.
Now that the entire yamen is Shi Qing's world, she can't find some evidence if she wants to
Mihe was not very sure, and said, "I saw that the surname Cao received a letter in the morning, and her attitude changed after reading the letter."
What about the letter
The letter is in the arms of County Magistrate Cao.
Shi Qing took out the letter from the unconscious Magistrate Cao's arms, "It was folded so carefully, it seems that she didn't burn it because she wanted to save her life."
When the envelope was unfolded, Shi Qing saw the slightly familiar handwriting on it.
Although he didn't sign it and only said that he wanted to get rid of her because of the embankment, Shi Qing still recognized the handwriting.
—Li Yunqing.
When Li Yunqing asked for the account last time, she owed a lot of silver taels, and she couldn't get it all together for a while, so she wrote an IOU and said it would be returned in two days.
Shi Qing glanced at it at the time, and felt that Mrs. Li's handwriting did not match the greasy middle-aged image she gave people, and her strokes were quite elegant.
Shiju was by the side that day and told her, "Master Li was a second-class man in the late emperor's time. He was appreciated by the late emperor for his good calligraphy, so he was able to stay in Beijing as an official."
Now it is this good word that can't be hidden deliberately, which exposed her.
Success is also handwriting, and failure is also handwriting.
Some people, even if they deliberately write ugly words and change their style, they can still vaguely see that this is from her hand. After all, the habit of starting and finishing is not easy to change.
Well done.
The last time I owed her debts, I didn't kill her. It was a good thing for her.
"It should be more than that simple." Shi Qing crouched next to Magistrate Cao, dusting off the letter, looking at Yun Zhi's injured arm, "Maybe it's a scapegoat who was pushed out."
Yun Zhi didn't understand, he reached for the teacup on the stone table in the courtyard to pour water.
Shi Qing came over and sat next to him, put the letter on the table, stopped his movement and poured tea for him.
"If something happens to the two of us on the way, then we can put the whole thing on the head of County Magistrate Cao, saying that she wants to kill you and me to silence you because of the failure of the crime."
"Even if my mother insists on looking up, the only one who can find out is Li Yunqing."
"As for Li Yunqing in Beijing, it's not too difficult to get rid of her."
The other party even arranged the funeral for her, so he was determined not to let her return to Beijing smoothly.
Shi Qing held the teacup, Yun Zhi stretched out his hand to take it, but she shook it slightly, reached out and handed the teacup to his mouth, "Since someone doesn't want us to go back..."
Shi Qing blinked and changed the subject, "How about we just stay here?"
She thought about it, "It would be great to be an ordinary county magistrate and hug you for three years!"
"..."
What are you hugging
The end of Yun Zhi's eyes twitched, seeing Shi Qing started to be serious again as he spoke, his right hand lightly snatched the teacup from her hand, and raised his eyebrows at her slightly.
He sat proudly in front of Shi Qing and drank his tea with his head up.
Yun Zhi's slender and fair neck was raised up, and his Adam's apple slowly moved up and down.
Shi Qing looked at him with his chin in his hands, his breathing was inexplicably hot, his fingertips were slightly itchy, he stretched out his hand and touched it lightly with his index finger.
Yunzhi sometimes feels like a green bamboo, which is so clean and green that people can't help but reach out and touch it to feel the fresh and vigorous vitality.
"!"
Yun Zhi's eyes trembled slightly, his swallowing of tea froze, and he took a deep breath and coughed.
He looked at Shi Qing with red eyes, put down the teacup, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, "What are you doing?"
"I want to kiss you." Shi Qing rolled his eyes and said generously.
Yun Zhi took a breath, looked left and right, stretched out his hand to hold the teacup unnaturally, licked his moist lips, lowered his eyes and whispered three words:
"Wait tonight."
There are many people during the day.
Shi Qing laughed outright.
Yun Zhi looked up at her with red ears.
It's not yet noon, Shi Qing can only go to work.
She re-counted the existing silver in the yamen, assigned a group of people to buy wooden stakes, and another group of people followed her to the river.
The bound thugs and government servants were responsible for digging out the buried wooden piles, and the laborers stood by to supervise.
The stakes need to be reburied and the foundation must be firm.
This is not a job for a day or two. Shi Qing handed over the paperwork and sent it to the capital at high speed, waiting for the newly assigned county magistrate to take her place.
In addition to the dams, there is also the migration of people downstream.
At Shiqing, part of the disaster relief money was allocated and distributed to the common people as the cost of relocation and resettlement.
She was worried about the severity of the flood, and wrote about the post-disaster treatment methods she could think of.
Worse than the flood is the plague that follows the disaster.
If the displaced people are infected with the plague, they can only be abandoned.
Shi Qing focused on writing this part, including where sheds should be built to help the victims, where porridge and rice should be distributed, how much should be distributed, and who will receive them. She wrote clearly.
She walked around during the day, got a clear idea of the prices and terrain, and took the time to write them down at night.
If the county magistrate who came to replace her was not a pig, as long as she followed her method, today's disaster would not be too serious.
Shi Qing was writing these at the desk facing the oil lamp, and Yun Zhi came in to take a look.
"It will be finished soon, don't worry." Shi Qing looked at him.
"What am I in a hurry for?" Yun Zhi sat across from her in a daze, raised his head to meet his shining eyes, and instantly remembered what he had said in the morning.
She thought, thought she was here to urge her
"I'm not in a hurry." Yun Zhi touched his nose and said unnaturally, "You can write all night."
"Just something..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Qing said, "Look, you should be in a hurry."
"..."
Yun Zhi glared at her.
"All right, all right." Shi Qing put down his pen in a resigned tone.
Yun Zhi looked at her, wondering what she wanted to do.
Shi Qing got up, held Yun Zhi's face in both hands, bent over and leaned over to kiss his slightly warm lips, and licked, "I'll give it to you first."
She asked, "Don't be in a hurry now."
Yun Zhi leaned over and bit her lower lip.
After the kiss was over, Yunzhi still didn't leave.
He had business to do when he was looking for Shiqing, but she almost forgot about it.
"Cao Zhen, the son of County Magistrate Cao, came to beg me..."
Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, he raised his hand and rubbed his nose, his eyes couldn't see clearly, he just stared at the words on her paper, and said in a low voice, "He said that as long as you release County Magistrate Cao, he will do anything, even A cow makes a horse."
Cao Zhen didn't dare to cry with Shi Qing, so she went to Shang Yunzhi.
Yun Zhi had never experienced this kind of situation, so he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Is he strong enough to pull the carriage? Or can he plow the land with an iron plow?" Shi Qing didn't even move his eyelids.
Yun Zhi really thought about it seriously. With Cao Zhen's weak appearance, it might be very difficult, "I'm afraid I can't."
Shi Qing sneered and said: "Then it's all right, you can't do anything, how can you treat me like an ox or a horse?"
For a moment, Yun Zhi couldn't tell whether Shi Qing really didn't understand Cao Zhen's meaning, or whether he was pretending not to understand Cao Zhen's meaning.
Even Ya Qing said that Cao Zhen wanted to be Shi Qing's junior.
Shi Qing also said on the way to find another one.
Yun Zhi rested his hands on the desk, and put away the red agate finger on his left thumb.
Yun Zhi looked at his fingers and asked vaguely, "You don't want him?"
"Do you think I look like a rich man who is willing to support idlers?" Shi Qing asked casually while lowering his head while writing.
A smile finally appeared in Yun Zhi's eyes, "It's not like that."
She is stingy to death, how can she be willing to support an idler who can't work.
"Besides, I already have a husband, and the eight-carriage matchmaker is marrying me. It would be a waste to ask for another one."
Shi Qing looked up at Yun Zhi, and asked teasingly, "Is that right, Fu Lang~"
Yun Zhi's face became hot when she asked.
"He is not as good as you in sword dancing, kung fu, and looks, but he is as brave as his mother, and he has the nerve to come to you?"
Shi Qing was too busy and confused today, and forgot to let someone take care of the backyard.
How could anyone enter her room
Does she look like a sex addict
Shi Qing finally wrote the last stroke.
She breathed a sigh of relief and put down the brush, lying on the table to relax her spine, at the same time Chao Yunzhi stretched out her index finger and hooked it into his palm, scratching it gently.
Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, and he sat upright for an instant, looking away, pretending he didn't notice Shi Qing's movements.
Just a little red on the pinna.
"How about sleeping together at night?"
Shi Qing sent out an invitation.
She is not someone who is obsessed with masculinity, she is only obsessed with clouds.
