About a quarter of an hour later.

Qi Kun grabbed the horse and stopped in front of a yamen. He looked at the purple wood plaque on the yamen and the closed county yamen gate. His face looked a little bad.

He turned over and dismounted, walked to the steps, and searched in the dim light of the lantern.

No one.

In such a large county government, no one was on duty!

Step by step, step by step.

At this time, the captain Liu Hei and his daughter Liu Jingshuang rode a horse to chase him. He turned over and got off the horse. Seeing Qi Kun's face cold, he looked at the empty county government gate and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

According to the law, there must be someone on duty at the county government gate. One is to guard the gate, the second is to spread the word, the third is to be alert, and the fourth is to receive it immediately when the people report the case.

After all, 22 years ago, the remnants of Da Kun often attacked the county government and killed officials and rebelled in remote places.

But now there is no one!

This can be considered a dereliction of duty! At least you have to hit the top fifty boards!

"Who is the guard at the gate?"

Qi Kun turned around and asked coldly.

"Mr. Hui County Magistrate, the one who will be on the rotation today should be Ling Fang."

Liu Hei bowed his hands, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Sir, there are some urgent matters in Ling Fang's family, or the county magistrate recruited him for something, and suddenly left, so there was no one on duty in the yamen. Please show mercy."

After hearing this, Liu Jingshuang was stunned for a moment.

Ling Fangzhao has some relatives with the county magistrate and has never taken his father seriously. How could his father speak for him?

And, why do you say mercy?

"Don't worry, I am elegant and easy-going, and I won't scold you."

Qi Kun smiled.

Then, he walked to the drum of injustice, grabbed a wooden stick, and knocked it hard on it.

Dong.

The drum shook, and a pile of dust and snowflakes fell.

A huge sound rang in the darkness, breaking the silence and spreading from afar.

In the courtyard house in the distance, a few candles suddenly lit up.

However, there was no movement in the yamen.

Qi Kun narrowed his eyes: "It seems that my official knocked him not loud enough. Where is Liu Jingshuang?"

"Subordinate is here."

Liu Jingshuang immediately jumped out, landed beside Qi Kun, and replied with her hands.

"You come."

Qi Kun gave a light command: "You are in the Gangqi realm, your strength should be very strong and your speed should be very fast, so I will call a general order to tell me."

As he said that, he handed the wooden stick in his hand to Liu Jingshuang.

"This... the subordinate obeys the order."

Liu Jingshuang hesitated for a moment, remembered her father's advice, bowed respectfully, then took the wooden stick, picked up another wooden stick under the drum, and beat it hard at the drum.

Dong! Dongdongdongdong! Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!

A huge shock sounded quickly, and it was extremely harsh in the darkness.

"Which idiot is coming to report the case before dawn, are you looking for death?" An angry curse rang out from the yamen.

Then, it seemed that someone was running towards the yamen in anger.

Then the sound of the door beam being removed, rumbling, and the gate of the yamen was suddenly pulled open. A fat man in pajamas suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted fiercely: "Which idiot raised by donkey is clamoring for justice in the early morning and doesn't want to live? Well? Is it Sister Jingshuang and Captain Liu?"

When he saw Liu Jingshuang beating the drum and Liu Hei with a cold face, he was stunned for a moment.

"Enough."

At this time, Qi Kun said two words lightly.

Liu Jingshuang stopped immediately.

"Are you Ling Fang?"

Qi Kun looked faint and asked condescendingly.

"I am! Who is you, a teenager?"

The fat and strong man asked remarks bluntly.

For some reason, when he saw the handsome man in black robe in front of him, he felt unhappy.

"Ling Fang, don't be rude! This is the new county magistrate, Lord Qi Kunqi!"

Liu Hei walked over and said solemnly.

"Hmm? County Magistrate?"

When the fat and strong man heard this, he was stunned on the spot, and then his face changed drastically.

Before he could meet him, Qi Kun scolded coldly, "Where did you go just now? You were not on duty in front of the yamen? Did Hualiu suffer from illness? Or was your whole family suddenly died overnight and you went home to mourn?"

This sentence shocked the fat and strong man.

It also shocked Liu Hei and Liu Jingshuang.

Liu Jingshuang finally understood what the odor in her father's mouth means.

"Sir, I..."

The fat and strong man was scolded by the head, and his face turned red instantly, as if he wanted to explain a few words.

"Who is the big man? You can't even do this little thing on duty at the yamen, and you still have the face to call me Master. In the future, a thief in the martial arts world will break into the yamen, kill me, and then leave. Do you also need my corpse to get up and make a sound of the injustice and drums to discover it?"

Qi Kun's face was as cold as frost and scolded him without hesitation.

Hearing this, the fat and strong man's face turned redder, his heart was filled with anger, and he held the big knife in his hand tightly, wishing to split Qi Kun in front of him in half with one knife, but he was the first-level official to crush someone to death, not to mention that the person in front of him was his boss, so he could only grit his teeth, endure his anger, and bowed his hands and said, "It's a small mistake! Please punish me!"

"No need, you've been fired. Get out of the county government."

Qi Kun said ruthlessly with a cold face.

"Ah? Why?"

When the fat and strong man heard this, his face suddenly changed.

"Hmph, you have the nerve to ask why?"

Qi Kun snorted coldly and glanced at the shaking sword in his hand: "You saw me, but I held a sharp weapon. It would be good if I didn't treat you the crime of assassinating Shangguan. You still want to ask why? Why didn't you ask when you visited the grave during the Qingming Festival? Oh, maybe your parents don't have IQ, so naturally they can't pass it on to you."

"you!"

The fat and strong man was instantly angry and his face turned purple, gritted his teeth, and his nostrils were squirting thick air, and every fat piece of flesh on his body was trembling.

The hand holding the knife, the veins swelled up.

Liu Jingshuang's beautiful eyes widened and was completely shocked.

Is this the new county magistrate who claims to be elegant and easy-going?

"Ling Fang, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Liu Hei stepped forward, a slight golden light flashed all over his body, and the big sword around his waist pulled out three inches, his eyes sharp, and he shouted sternly.

"Ha, I don't know if he dares."

Qi Kun glanced at the big man, said disdainfully, and turned around and ordered: "Liu Jingshuang, help me get the bag."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked directly into the yamen.

When Liu Jingshuang saw it, she quickly turned around and picked up the two bags on the horse's back.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she smelled a faint smell of blood from the bag.

With a hint of surprise, she followed into the county government, leaving Liu Hei and the fat and strong man to the side and began to whisper.

After entering the yamen, there was a screen wall carved with a kirin monster. It looked a bit old and should have been left by Da Kun of the previous dynasty.

Bypassing the screen wall and through the snow-covered courtyard, I saw the main hall with the door plaque hanging with the 'Mirror hanging high'.

It is also the place where county magistrates are promoted to court and hear major cases.

Qi Kun glanced at the plaque with spider silk, walked into the dusty main hall, came to the iron case of the county magistrate, and gently slid his fingers over it.

Suddenly, the fingers turned black and covered with dust.

"What's going on?"

Qi Kun turned his head and asked.

"The county magistrate has been hanging for more than three months. The servants of the county government have become a little lazy and have not cleaned frequently. I also asked the county magistrate to wait for a moment."
