Chapter 203 Magistrate

Pei Ziyun set off.

I went to the pier to abandon my car and boarded the boat, and went straight to the county town where Songyunmen was located along the river. It took some time. When I arrived, I got off the boat and saw that it was almost dusk. I saw that the crowds were flowing on the streets, and I hurriedly used my meals and called the car, and walked all the way in the twilight. When I arrived at the county government, there were relatively few people.

The lights in the alley are continuous, the sound of the restaurant is ethereal, and the cool breeze is refreshing. There is a gate in front of you with gauze lanterns hanging, and the county government will arrive.

He picked up the copper ring on the door and knocked it. After a while, a yamen runner opened the door and said a little impatiently: "Who is it too late."

After glanced at the yamen runner's color changed suddenly and he hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be Duke Jie Yuan. Do you have any urgent matters to see the county magistrate?"

Pei Ziyun heard this and clicked and handed a post on it: "I have to see the county magistrate if I have something to do."

The yamen runner took over the post, and the post was exquisite, and some silver patterns were engraved on the post. This was very formal, saying: "Duke Jie Yuan wait."

The county magistrate looked at the document and pushed it to the side, saying, "Songyunmen reacted very quickly, burial, pension, and construction in an orderly manner."

The master heard the county magistrate say and swallowed: "County Master, then don't care about the affairs of the housekeeper Mi Xing? But how many people died."

"People say it's a plague. What can you do? It's okay to investigate it. But Songyun Gate was enthroned by the imperial court. Should we investigate who is attacking and whether to investigate the unfavorable public security in the county?" The county magistrate rolled his eyes.

The master couldn't help but wipe his sweat. The county magistrate thought the light was dim and asked someone to light two candles behind him. At this moment, a yamen run forward: "Master, Pei Jieyuan is asking for a meeting, and he is here to hand over the post."

"Give the post." The county magistrate said. As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runner held the post in his hands and handed it to the county magistrate.

Looking at this post, the county magistrate hesitated a little: "Will this child see you or not?"=

The copying master on the right side saw the county magistrate like this, and hurriedly said, "Master, although Pei Jieyuan is famous, he is still Jieyuan. But after entering the Taoist sect, he will lose his career. What is the use of the master? There is also someone from Lu Wang in front of him who greeted him. There is a great interest in it. Please think twice."

Hearing the words of this master, the county magistrate was silent for a moment: "What you said."

"Come here, tell Duke Jie Yuan that the county is not in good health today and should not meet guests. Just go back to the post." The county magistrate shouted to the door. The yamen runner received the order to go out and smiled at Pei Ziyun: "Duke Jie Yuan, my grandfather occasionally feels cold today and cannot meet guests. I hope you can forgive me."

Pei Ziyun looked at him and saw that the yamen runner's eyes were dodging, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid I'm here because I've been suffering from this cold disease."

The yamen runner heard Pei Ziyun's words in front of him and smiled: "Where is Duke Jie Yuan's words? The county lord is really sick, so don't make things difficult for the villain."

Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "I won't make things difficult for you, but I still have something here. You hand it over and the county magistrate will see it before deciding whether to see me."

Pei Ziyun took out a wooden box, the yamen runner came forward to take it, and sank a little, and couldn't help but think: "Can you, what kind of treasure is this?"

"My county master, Duke Jie Yuan did not leave. After hearing the words, he asked the villain to hand over another box, saying that the master would change his mind when he saw the box."

The master was in his fifties, dark and thin, and he looked more and more shriveled, and his eyes were loose. When he heard this, he sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost."

The county magistrate glanced at him and said, "You!"

In fact, he understood that his master did not collect money for King Lu, and his representatives would not give money to the minor officials, but the officialdom was concerned about this position. After the master followed him for a long time, even if there was no benefit, he had to stand in King Lu's team.

This is public intention, selfish intention is also a scholar. He did not pass the imperial examination and had to be a master for the rest of his life. Pei Ziyun, who passed the Yuan examination, was not only young, but also regarded his official position as a Taoist. This person disliked Pei Ziyun very much and even gritted his teeth. This is a secret emotion of man.

The county magistrate didn't plan to say it out loud, looked at Muhe and smiled at the master: "What gift did you say Pei Jieyuan have prepared for me?"

He said, "Hand up the box."

The yamen runners offered him the magistrate opened the box and said "Huh" that the box was a token, which seemed to be made of gold.

He picked it up and only glanced at it. His eyelids trembled. The token fell on the table. His body trembled. He looked at the yamen runner and scolded him: "You go out first, wait at the door. I have something to discuss with the master."

The yamen runners left the door and brought them with them. The master was surprised: "County Master?"

The county magistrate calmed down and calmed down: "It's a big trouble. I didn't expect that this man secretly surrendered to the prince and had the token of the prince's mansion in his hand."

"What? Pei Ziyun has a prince's token?" The master looked up and saw the cold golden token with dragon patterns on it and the words "Crown Prince's Mansion". His face turned pale.

The two were stunned and motionless. After a long time, the master patted his legs and said, "Hey, what should I do now? Prince Lu said hello, and the prince has a token again."

After hearing this, the county magistrate sighed: "Let him come in, you can't offend the prince."

The master was a little unwilling and said, "When King Lu said hello, we don't listen, I'm afraid it will inevitably lead to resentment from King Lu."

"There is someone who greets Lu, but now this is the prince's token in person. Can it be compared? The two evils are less serious." The county magistrate's face was clear and extinguished in the candle, and the iron cast was still moving. He pondered for a long time and stood up: "Please go to the side hall to discuss matters."

The yamen runs all the way to the door and laughs: "Duke Jie Yuan invites you in. The master takes some medicine and is much better. He can see Duke Jie Yuan."

The yamen runner led Pei Ziyun into the living room, and the county magistrate came up: "Duke Jie Yuan, I was busy with official duties yesterday, and I felt a little cold, so I delayed a little. Duke Jie Yuan, please forgive me, please sit down and have tea."

Pei Ziyun got into the seat, took a sip of tea, looked at the county master, and smiled: "Looking at the dark circle of the county master, I must be busy with official duties and very tired. Now that it's night, I won't disturb you much."

"You must understand my purpose, I will only say a few points."

"First, Songyun Sect is a sect of Taoism after all. If you don't care about the disaster, you will not be able to protect your official position as soon as I surrender it, right?"

After hearing this, the county magistrate took a breath of air conditioning: "Duke Jie Yuan, it's not that I don't want to rescue me, but I have to inform Shangguan of the mobilization of troops..."

"Mr. County Master, where are you informing me?" Before he finished speaking, Pei Ziyun interrupted coldly.

After hearing this, Chen Mo said for a while: "Hey, Duke Jie Yuan, why bother me? There is Lu in this matter..."

When the county magistrate said that he stopped drinking tea, Pei Ziyun heard it clearly and clicked: "Is there any King Lu involved in it?"

"It was originally the emperor's family matter, and it was reasonable for you to be afraid of getting into the storm." Pei Ziyun said coldly: "You have your difficulties. Before, Songyun Gate was attacked and you did not have reinforcements, so I don't care. But now that I have won, it will be wrong if you don't make a sound!"

"Don't forget, Prince Lu is not the crown prince yet, and the crown prince is the crown prince after all."

"Yes, yes!" The county master wiped his sweat and said, "Duke Jie Yuan knew the hardships of this county, and this county was grateful to you what you wanted to do?"

Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "I don't have many requests. You can send 100 soldiers to garrison at Songyunmen Mountain Gate. It only takes one month. The name can be investigated and suppressed bandits."

"You don't even have to be stationed directly at the mountain gate. Isn't there a town under the mountain gate?"

"In order to arrest the thieves and take the thieves, I sent a patrol to inspect the town's public security. No one can say that this name is wrong!" Pei Ziyun knew the officialdom well. Without the rules of status, it was not enough to have money. With the rules of status, it was a matter of money. He took out a stack of silver notes in his arms and put them on the case, saying, "There will be no less money."

When the county magistrate looked at it, the top one was 100 taels, and the stack looked at it, at least one thousand taels, and the heart was filled with a warmth.

The county master pushed the wooden box: "Duke Jie Yuan, please put it away."

He returned and put the bill in his pocket, with some smiles: "Mr. Jie Yuan is really meant. It is the responsibility of the government to arrest the thieves and take the thieves. Now a thief attacks the town and hurts the people I govern. As the parents of the townsmen in the county, I will send a patrol inspection to wipe out."

After hearing this, Pei Ziyun stood up and bowed: "Thank you sir."

The county magistrate also stood up: "Donald Jie Yuan does not need to be polite, but he still has to invite me to say more and more beautiful words to the prince in front of me."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he shouted again: "Come here, call me Li Bantou."

Later, Li Bantou came over, glanced at Pei Ziyun, was a little curious, and saluted: "I have met the county magistrate."

The county magistrate was angry with some anger: "Li Bantuo, the good thing you did."

Listening to the reprimand, Li Bantuo was confused and quickly said, "I don't know what I know, so please teach me."

The county magistrate said: "Today Pei Jieyuan came to complain, saying that a few days ago a thief set fire at Songyun Gate. You didn't even notice it. It was really a dereliction of duty."

Li Bantou was shocked. Taoist lived in the mountains and encountered bandits and many people solved the problem by themselves. The yamen never asked. Why did the county magistrate suddenly mention it today?

Moreover, although I am a toll-man, I am actually more responsible for the inspection by arresting thieves and taking thieves. I just can't force myself to take it at this time and quickly said: "It's a villain who has dereliction of duty, so please forgive me."

The county magistrate was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Tomorrow, you will join the inspection and go to the town at the foot of Songyun Mountain to catch thieves and take thieves. The limit is for one month, so you must capture the thieves."

As soon as Li Banto said this, he didn't understand anything and quickly said, "I'll do it right away."

When he went out, Yu Yunjun was waiting in the car. Pei Ziyun said to a Taoist: "Don't follow me. Follow this team and the inspector back and ask Elder Zhao to give the team fifty taels and one hundred taels of inspection. As for the transfer fee, we don't care. The county will have its own public expenses."

"Just as long as the banquet is held on the first day and the last day is ready."

Pei Ziyun naturally understands the rules. People who don’t know will say, “The cost of living for this hundred people per month is more than this.”

But that's not the case. Wherever you go, you will be inspected. There is public expense. This is not considered a Songyun Gate. It is not good to give it to it, so it is only given to the officials.

Pei Ziyun said, and the Taoist agreed. When the Taoist retreated, Yu Yunjun understood it and was really impressed. He asked, "The county government has solved it? Where will we go next?"
