Chapter 547: What a big deal

Mrs. Yuan has now somewhat realized the difference between Qi Bao'er and her. She had little knowledge during her lifetime. It would be nonsense to ask her what she discovered. It was just an intuition that this person was not an ordinary person.

He held up the corner of his clothes a little cautiously, with an embarrassed look on his face, and still complained on behalf of the former county magistrate, "My husband doesn't know anyone in the official circles, and I don't know who to ask for help. If I want to report, I am even more uncertain about the person behind the county magistrate.

Who is the person.

Nowadays, they read books every day. At least Si Xian Cheng and the others need a county magistrate to be there, so that my husband and the others will not lose their lives.

When the four-year term is over, if you are lucky enough to be transferred from here, you may still have the opportunity to inform the court about the situation in Baishan County."

If the former county magistrate himself is like this, Qi Baoer can only say that this family is too single and stupid.

How could Si Xian Cheng and the others let the former county magistrate live to the next place of office?

Isn't it because he didn't do very well in the exam?

The 82nd Jinshi was ranked among the hundred, and the 82nd was already at the tail end of the list. With such a ranking, almost no high-ranking officials would like him, and he would not be able to do so.

What kind of support does he have in court?

He was originally from a farmer's background and had nothing to worry about in his family life.

Similarly, such a figureless eighth-grade county magistrate must be caught in large numbers, because if he encounters bandits on the way, or disappears due to an accident or something, how much attention will he attract from above?

To be more precise, none of the news reached the capital.

The couple below, one carrying a hoe and the other carrying a bucket, walked back hand in hand. Qi Baoer's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to withdraw from the spiritual world, and appeared in front of the former county magistrate and the others.

Before the former county magistrate and his wife screamed in surprise, she raised her right hand, and a gold medal was shaking left and right under her hand.

The former county magistrate just couldn't control the matter. As a county magistrate, he knew everything he should know. He recognized the token in front of him at a glance.

He immediately grabbed An and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please see your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."

"I see you, the Imperial Envoy."

Qi Baoer put away the token and raised his hand slightly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Sir." The former county magistrate helped Anshi up, and after standing up, he whispered to Anshi, "Go and make more food."

"Yes, I take my leave." Anshi leaned over and left in small steps.

Seeing this, Qi Bao'er finally realized what Mrs. Yuan said about An's good deeds.

The former county magistrate was not entertaining her, he was obviously letting An's leave out of habit.

I mean, she's scary?

Or···

Qi Bao'er was muttering in his heart, when the former county magistrate knelt down again, "I didn't know that the imperial envoy was coming, but I was disappointed to welcome him from afar. I hope that the imperial envoy will atone for his sins."

There was a set of stone tables and benches not far from the two of them. Qi Baoer walked over and sat down. "I didn't notify anyone about this trip. What's your crime? Get up."

"yes."

I don’t know if he didn’t trust her, or if he just didn’t know how to adapt at all. After getting up, the former county magistrate respectfully walked to Qi Bao’er and stood three meters away from Qi Bao’er, slightly bent over, without taking the initiative to say a word.

, as if waiting for Qi Bao'er to speak first.

Fortunately, Qi Bao'er is not the kind of person who likes to listen to flattery, and is not dissatisfied with his 'dull' look.

"I have lived in the city for a few days, so I don't know the details, but I already know the general situation in Baishan County.

I wonder if the former county magistrate has anything to tell me."

The former county magistrate was silent, thinking in his mind.

He was naturally happy that an imperial envoy came to Baishan County, not for regaining power, but...

It's just that the imperial envoy in front of me is really too young.

This made him unable to believe that the little imperial envoy could fight against those local snakes in Baishan County.

Qi Baoer seemed to be aware of his concerns, and added: "I wonder if the former county magistrate knows that this time I am here. In addition to clearing the officialdom of several southern states, I am also responsible for escorting disaster relief silver and grain.

Now all the disaster relief money and grain have arrived safely, and I have recovered one of the two disaster relief grains that went missing on the road."

The former county magistrate was startled, and then became ecstatic. He knelt down with a bang and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I am guilty."

Qi Baoer did not call him out this time, but asked: "Oh, what crime are you guilty of?"

"Sir, the imperial court sent me to serve as county magistrate. This is because the imperial court can trust me. But in the two years since I came here, I have not been able to get involved in any official affairs."

When he first came here, he was very high-spirited and wanted to make great achievements.

Unexpectedly, someone poured a basin of ice water on his head that day. As a county magistrate, he did not have the right to take the examination papers. He had to agree with the county magistrate.

The first time someone came to complain, he wanted to mention the suspect, but no officer obeyed.

There were so many such things that those people forced him to realize that he was just a puppet magistrate.

The former county magistrate smiled bitterly, "Xiaoguan knows that even if his four-year term is up, he will either continue to be a puppet magistrate here, or die silently somewhere."

The corners of Qi Bao'er's lips curled up slightly, it seemed that this person was not really stupid.

It's no wonder that she is just a child, a strange child, and the other party doesn't really see what her strength is, but she is willing to give it a try.

In fact, failure to fight will lead to a dead end.

"You've been here for more than two years, and you've really been idle for more than two years?"

The former county magistrate was silent again, but he still had worries in his heart.

Qi Baoer did not force him, but waited quietly.

After about ten minutes, the former county magistrate seemed to have figured it out, raised his head, and said in a low voice with a brave face: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, although I have been ignoring everything in the past two years, I have been secretly investigating the department.

The four families of Shang and Zhong were found to have contacts with King Xuan, but there was no evidence from the lower officials."

"King Xuan?" It's King Xuan again.

Having already risked his life, the former county magistrate's belly had grown stronger. He seemed to be no longer afraid of life and death, and no longer feared anything.

He nodded and said, "Those who have lowered their rank have seen King Xuan's men coming in and out of the four mansions many times."

After a pause, he struck another thunderbolt, "Every time the imperial court sends disaster relief money and grain to Baishan County, King Xuan's people will appear in Baishan County at that time. When they leave after that, they always pull several carriages."

Qi Baoer's eyes darkened, this means...

The former county magistrate quietly glanced at Qi Bao'er's expression and saw that her face had darkened, knowing that she understood what he meant.

The hope in my heart became a little bigger. It seemed that although the person in front of me was just a baby, she must have the ability to be appointed as an imperial envoy by the emperor.

Thinking of this, the former county magistrate took a few more cracks, knelt on the ground and begged: "Sir, I know where the Si family has hidden the disaster relief money and food. I just ask you if you can save the life of your wife."

Qi Baoer knocked on the stone table with his fingertips, "Yes, as long as you can really find out the disaster relief money hidden by the Si family, I guarantee that not only your wife's life, but also yours, I will also protect it."

.”

What a big deal.
