Li Guangdi was a little puzzled when he was suddenly transferred to this small county on the border of Liaodong!

He didn't understand how his fate was related to this small frontier town.

In fact, the so-called frontier town is not correct. Calculate that the county has a population of more than 200,000.

Even in Shandong, this is considered a large county.

Don't look at Liaodong, where it's winter for half of the year. But after all, it's still a vast land with sparsely populated areas, and taxes are even lower than in the mainland.

This is extremely attractive to the victims in Shanxi, Henan and other provinces in the mainland who are suffering from the flooding of the Yellow River.

The continuous immigration within the pass has gradually increased the population of a small county with a population of 20,000 to 200,000 ten years ago.

Becoming a county magistrate at the age of twenty-two is a happy event for anyone.

But Li Guangdi couldn't be happy, because he was the county magistrate last year. There had just been some good news over there, but for some reason, he was transferred here with just a piece of paper.

And he needs to take office immediately!

While riding in the carriage, looking at the woods receding by the roadside, Li Guangdi's head was thinking about the reason for all this.

Because it was so urgent to receive the transfer order, no one came to greet him when he arrived at the gate of the county town. Li Guangdi could only take two entourages, take a carriage into the city, and go to the county government himself.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the county government office, I saw two guards chasing people away.

"Get out! You old bastard, if you dare to come here and make false accusations again, I will kill you." The officer pointed at the nose of a ragged old man and yelled.

Beside the old man, a dirty little girl cried loudly and tried to pull her grandfather up from the ground.

"I want to see the new county magistrate. Why don't you let me see him? I have a grievance and I want to redress it." Although the old man was knocked to the ground, he still yelled and cursed loudly.

"Old Boss Liu, you are such a bear, and you still know that the new county magistrate takes office today? That's fine, you old boy!

Let me tell you, the new county magistrate took office today. If you dare to cause trouble for the elders, I will break your legs." Another officer yelled and cursed.

A large group of people were watching around, but no one came forward to dissuade me. Some people were laughing and laughing while eating melon seeds.

"Stop!" Li Guang got off the carriage and yelled, and hundreds of people looked at him.

"What are you doing?" The officer saw Li Guangdi's official boots under his long gown and saw Li Guangdi's heroic face, so he did not dare to offend him easily.

These guys who usually hang out in the market actually have the worst eyesight. If they don't practice their ability to talk to people and tell ghosts, they won't be able to survive long ago.

"This is the newly appointed Magistrate Li, why don't you come over to see me." Li Guangdi said nothing, and his entourage stood in front of Li Guangdi with a high air and said loudly.

"County...! I'm here to pay my respects to the County Lord. I just received a call from the Futai Yamen. I was about to go to the city gate to greet the County Lord, but I didn't expect...!"

The officer looked to be in his forties, but when he saw the young Li Guangdi, he was shouting attentively like a respected county official.

"Yes! Bring these two grandfathers and grandsons into the Yamen and put them in good condition. We can ask questions later after the county has made a good deal with them."

Li Guangdi said in a deep voice.

"Uh...! No!"

The two guards hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly agreed.

"Haha! This Li Guangdi you value so much looks like a stick at first glance.

Expecting these guys to be rehabilitated is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. If you have a little bit of skill, you might be able to get out of the city and stab them, and then bury them in a mass grave.

If you want to ask them for someone, you have a thousand reasons to wait. Even if the grandson runs away on his own, you can't do anything."

Ao Ye mingled among the crowd and had served as a servant in Liaoyang Prefecture, so he naturally knew what was going on here.

"You are really young, and you still need to practice the tricky tricks in the yamen.

But this is already very good. Knowing how to redress the injustice of the people is much better than those bastards who just kicked people out." Li Xiao nodded.

It is normal for young people not to understand the dirty tricks in the yamen.

After all, this little guy has only graduated for one year.

Nowadays, Liaodong employs a large number of young officials, many of whom have junior high school education.

Li Guangdi is an official who passed the exam directly.

His achievements in office made Li Xiao feel very confident, so he was selected to handle the Taining Guard case.

Mr. Ao winked, and naturally someone slipped into the Yamen to protect Mr. Liu, his son, and his grandson.

Li Guangdi didn't know that the most powerful man in the Ming Empire was hiding in the crowd and watching him.

This time was a major overhaul of Liaodong officialdom and a test for Li Guangdi.

Surrounded by servants and entourage, he walked into the government office. As soon as he entered the lobby, the county magistrate walked in with a smile to pay homage to the new Shangguan.

"I see you, your lord." Zhang Xiancheng bowed deeply to Li Guangdi.

Although Zhang Xiancheng is now nearly forty years old, this young man is a county official, so he has to bow his head.

I sighed helplessly in my heart. I thought he would have a chance to compete for the position of county magistrate. But I didn't expect that the superiors actually sent a young boy down.

There is nothing we can do about it. Nowadays, academic qualifications are very important when selecting officials. The old method is no longer popular. Now, to be an official, one must at least graduate from elementary school.

If you don't catch up with the good times, you can only do nothing.

"No courtesy! No courtesy! In the officialdom, you are the senior, and you will have to rely on your senior for many things in the future."

Li Guangdi knew very well how powerful these experienced officials were.

If something happens, he will really stumble behind you, which is enough to make you drink a pot.

"How dare you! How dare you! You are the superior, we are old people, and from now on it will be your young people's world.

At noon, the county colleagues set up a banquet in Qingfeng Tower to welcome the county magistrate, and invited the county magistrate to honor him.

By the way, I also want to get to know my colleagues in the county."

"Lord County Magistrate, let's forget this matter.

The imperial court has repeatedly issued orders not to use official funds for food or drink. If those people from the Supervision Department find out, this will be a crime.

Because Mr. Li took office, it would be bad to involve his colleagues.

Oh, by the way! If you patronize and talk, this is the qualification from Futai Yamen, and this is Li’s official certificate."

"Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes! The county magistrate is right." Zhang Xiancheng was a little surprised by Li Guangdi's response.

I didn't expect that this guy would be difficult to deal with at such a young age.

"I just met someone who was complaining about injustice at the gate of the county government office. This is a new arrival in this county and we need to accept unjust cases according to regulations.

Let’s go to court and ask about the grievances. If the county magistrate has nothing to do, he can also come and help the county deal with it.”

Li Guangdi didn't wait too long. It seemed that he also knew that it would be unreasonable to hand over the grandfather and grandson to the police.

He decided to cut through the mess quickly and burn the new official's first embarrassment before anyone could react.

"Well……!

County Honorable, is this Old Man Liu who just complained at the gate of the county government office?" The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Exactly!" Li Guang nodded.

"Your Excellency, you have just arrived here and you don't know the conditions of the people here yet.

This old Liu Tou is a cunning man who is accustomed to biting and framing others.

The person he sued was the former head of their village and the current head of the township, Wu Dasheng.

How can the villagers really live in harmony? What's more, this old man Liu is a unruly man and has constant disputes with the villagers all day long.

As the village chief, Wu Dasheng naturally has to govern.

Therefore, Wu Dasheng was offended.

Over the years, he often went to the county to complain. Several times, he even went to the Futai Master to complain.

Fortunately, the former county magistrate and Mr. Futai had sharp eyesight and saw through the cunning old Mr. Liu!

Today, he didn't know where he got the news about the Lord's taking office. So, he came to complain again.

Everyone in the county government knows about this matter. You can ask anyone you want!

Lord County Lord, please don’t be fooled by this unruly citizen. That Wu Dasheng is an official and is in the county government office now. You can meet him first."

"Oh! That's right!" Li Guang nodded, but did not say that he wanted to see Wu Dasheng.

"First put this old Mr. Liu in prison. If he is really unruly, he will need to be dealt with severely.

We must not allow this culture of randomly biting and falsely accusing officials to cause trouble here in this county.

Indulging such people will chill the officials who are doing the work."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, the county magistrate is right." Seeing Li Guangdi's understanding, Zhang Xiancheng immediately smiled and nodded.

"What a bastard! He actually put him in jail, and even said he would be punished in a few days." After hearing the news from the county government office, Mr. Ao immediately scolded his mother.

"Haha! Don't worry, just wait and see. I think this guy has something good. Just watch what he does tomorrow."

Li Xiao is not in a hurry!

Ever since he saw the name Li Guangdi, he immediately thought of the glass ball that was rampant in the Kangxi Dynasty.
