Chapter 259 Master of Qingshan Town

Ye Hanzhou glanced at the sky, turned to Mingyin and Ye Hanzhou and asked, "We can leave now. Look at the sky, it's still late."

Mingyin did not answer him, but turned to look at Qin Nanling, with a clear inquiry in his eyes.

Qin Nanling touched his chin and pondered, but his eyes fell on a messy restaurant. He thought for a while, and then ordered his subordinates: "You guys come out and go to the restaurant to investigate their losses this time."

"As for orders, go now."

As soon as Qin Nanling finished speaking, a few figures rushed out directly. Without any hesitation, they bowed to Qin Nanling with their fists, their tone full of respect from the heart.

Mingyin, who was beside him, knew that Qin Nanling was doing well, so he didn't feel surprised when he saw this scene. However, Ye Hanzhou next to him opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Obviously he couldn't understand why a big and small yamen captain had such high prestige.

Qin Nanling naturally didn't know what the two were thinking. He hesitated for a moment, then called the few subordinates who left and added: "If the loss is not big, then allocate some from the yamen's funds to compensate them. If the loss is too big, I will take people to Xu's mansion to ask for money next day."

When the few people heard Qin Nanling's first half of the words, they all nodded in agreement, but when they heard that their leader was actually going to take people to Xu's mansion to ask for money, they immediately widened their eyes and looked at each other.

"What's there to be surprised? Even though the Xu Mansion is powerful, it shouldn't have gone to Qingshan Town to cause trouble. Since they have damaged the property of the restaurant, they will naturally have to pay some repair fees."

Qin Nanling looked at the surprised expressions of the few people, waved his hand and spoke indifferently.

When several constables heard this, the look of surprise on their faces gradually faded. Then they nodded solemnly, turned around and walked straight towards the restaurant.

The servants from Yihonglou were already busy cleaning up the end of their lives, but suddenly they saw people from the yamen walking towards them. The few of them were so scared that they put down their work and hid in the restaurant quickly.

Qin Nanling saw this scene from afar, shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "The government has accumulated power for too long. It seems that it will take a long time to make the people truly recognize the government and the brothers in the yamen."

Although Qin Nanling was humble, he still had lofty ambitions. Since he was appreciated by the county magistrate and entrusted with important tasks, he tried to change the atmosphere of over-the-top officials in the yamen, and change the fear that the people of Qingshan Town respected the yamen as gods and were afraid of it.

"Everything cannot be achieved overnight. After all, your time will not last long. There is still time in the future. But I always believe that this town will become better and better with your efforts."

Just as Qin Nanling was stunned, a calm voice came from the side, making his thoughts return to reality.

Qin Nanling smiled slightly, looked at Mingyin and said softly, "Thank you, I hope I can lend you auspicious words."

Mingyin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this time Qin Nanling reached out and patted his shoulder, urging him: "Let's go, don't delay, if you have anything to do, we will talk slowly after we arrive at the yamen later."

Mingyin nodded and had to agree: "You are the host, we are the guests, whatever you say is what you say."

Under Qin Nanling's command, the yamen's constables rode their own horses one after another, arranged in an orderly manner, ready to go.

"Let's go."

Qin Nanling gave an order, then kicked the horse's belly with both feet and walked forward first. As for Ye Hanzhou and Ming Yin, they followed him closely.

Since this place is in a downtown area and there are quite a lot of pedestrians, Qin Nanling deliberately instructed his constables to slow down and not let the horses disturb the pedestrians. In this way, the group lined up into a long line and then slowly moved towards the yamen.

About an hour passed, and the majestic Qingshan Town Yamen appeared in front of everyone. At a hundred meters away from the Yamen, Qin Nanling waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and then he turned over and dismounted and walked towards the Yamen gate.

"Is this the yamen in Qingshan Town? It's built quite grandly."

Ye Hanzhou stopped and stared at the building complex not far away, with a look of marvel on his face.

Mingyin has been here many times, so his expression has not changed much.

Two guards at the gate of the yamen discovered Qin Nanling and his group from afar. They quickly opened the gate and then made an invitation gesture for Qin Nanling.

Qin Nanling turned his head to look at Ming Yin and the others, his eyes stayed on Ye Hanzhou for a moment, and then said softly: "Let's go in. The county master should be waiting for us in the study at this moment."

Mingyin and Ye Hanzhou looked at each other, then nodded one after another, and the three of them walked towards the gate, while the remaining constables walked in in an orderly manner.

Qin Nanling lived in the yamen for quite some time and knew every tree and grass here, so under his leadership, he quickly found the residence of the county magistrate.

"The county master has a bad temper and is very straightforward, but he is not a bad person. When you two talk to him later, try not to go around in circles, and try not to make requests for impure motivation, otherwise he will be expelled from the guest."

Qin Nanling pressed his hand on the vermilion door, but did not push it away, but turned his head and reminded Mingyin and Ye Hanzhou.

Mingyin touched his nose and said impatiently: "Brother Qin, don't worry. We have been in love for so many years. Don't you understand me? I have always liked to go straight. Isn't this the master of Zhenghe County?"

Seeing his swearing look, Qin Nanling stopped saying anything, but turned his gaze to Ye Hanzhou.

Ye Hanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that Qin Nanling's reminder was mainly aimed at him. Although he was a little unhappy, he still agreed readily: "Brother Qin, please rest assured. Although Hanzhou is scheming, it also varies from person to person. He has always been heart-wrenching towards his own people, and he will not have impure motivations."

Qin Nanling saw Ye Hanzhou and directly told his purpose. He did not show any embarrassment on his face. Instead, he looked at the other person deeply, and his deep eyes seemed to reach the depths of his heart.

Mingyin felt the tense atmosphere, and he quickly stepped forward, put his arms around Ye Hanzhou's neck, and said in a deep voice to Qin Nanling: "Brother Qin, don't worry, Hanzhou is a person in my clinic, and the days we spend together are not short."

After looking at Ye Hanzhou who was rolling his eyes at him, Mingyin curled his lips and continued, "Although I can't tell the truth about his origin, I still know his character very well. This guy is indeed good at speaking and has a clever mind, but he is definitely not a scheming guy."

When Qin Nanling saw Ming Yin coming out to guarantee Ye Hanzhou, the serious expression on his face suddenly faded a lot. He gave advice to the two of them again, and then he turned around and slowly pushed open the Zhuhong gate.

"Come with me, the county master should be inside. Let's be gentler and don't quarrel with him."

Qin Nanling whispered a reminder to Mingyin and Ye Hanzhou, and then he took the lead in stepping into the room. Mingyin and the others looked at each other, and then hurriedly walked in.

This is a very exquisite house. Although it is not built large, the owner has fully utilized every inch of the room and placed every object in detail.

When you enter the door, you will see a huge screen. Half of the paintings are embroidered with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, and the other half is written with poems about dragons and phoenixes dancing, which looks unique and elegant.

When Ye Hanzhou's eyes saw the screen, he could not take his gaze away. Ming Yin, who was beside him, curled his lips helplessly, and did not immediately disturb him. Instead, he looked at other corners of the room in a blink of an eye.

"It seems like there is someone there, who will it be."

When his eyes fell into a corner of the room, Mingyin suddenly exclaimed and murmured to himself.

Qin Nanling had already stopped at this time. He did not turn his head to look at Mingyin, but whispered to him, "That is the county master of Qingshan Town. I'll go over and inform him first. You can follow me. Remember not to lose your courtesy later."

After saying that, Qin Nanling slowly walked towards the figure in the darkness. Mingyin pulled Ye Hanzhou, who was ecstatic in front of the screen, and then followed Qin Nanling without leaving.

"Who is here? Is it you in Nanling?"

A slightly older voice suddenly rang in the room. Mingyin paused and quickly looked at the figure ahead. He knew that it was what this person said just now.

Qin Nanling also stopped. He bowed slightly to the figure and replied softly: "Master, it's Nanling that's here. I also brought two friends from the same village here. They seem to want to see you too."

After saying that, Qin Nanling turned his head and looked at Ming Yin and the others, reminding them that it was time for them to appear.

Mingyin nodded, took a few steps, bowed to the figure, and said, "Boy Mingyin, I have met the county master."

Ye Hanzhou also took a step forward and did it as Mingyin did.

After the two of them finished speaking, the dark and narrow room fell into silence again. The figure leaned forward and did not move, like a solidified mud and wood sculpture.
