Master Lin became furious and scolded Jin Daya for five minutes.
The county government prison could not even hold two monks who had their martial arts disabled. Jin Daya would be in trouble.
What I didn't expect was that it was over after Mr. Lin scolded him, and there was no punishment at all.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the county magistrate was really too tolerant of the old man brought from the escort agency.

The Second Hall of the Rongcheng Magistrate’s Yamen (the main office in the Yamen, the second hall is the reception room)
Yesterday, he received a notice from the prefect's Yamen, asking him to report to the prefect's Yamen early the next morning.
This morning, after meeting the magistrate, Wang Lidong was scolded bloody.
Before coming, he knew that nothing good would happen today.
How could a bought county magistrate, whom the magistrate usually avoided, come to discuss matters with me?
And the county magistrate's letter of appointment has not come out so soon.
Sure enough, it's a tooth shop thing.
Several owners behind the tooth shop all used their connections, and then today's drama happened.
Just now, the prefect clearly told Wang Lidong that the Yaxing case must be retried, and the result of the retrial must satisfy the gentry and elders of Linhai County, otherwise he, the county magistrate, would have done his job.
Seeing that Master Zhu, the prefect, finally stopped talking, Wang Lidong put down the tea cup.
Bah bah bah~
Why is this tea made of ground tea leaves? This Master Zhu is too stingy. Although he took away more than 200,000 yuan as a beggar, he is not so stingy.
Since the superior officer is in trouble, as a subordinate, I have to take the initiative to help.
Wang Lidong took out a banknote from his pocket and placed it on the table next to the prefect.
"Master Zhu, I have the honor to see your calligraphy. It is really the reincarnation of Wang Xizhi. If you have extra calligraphy and painting, please give a pair to me. I will be very grateful."
How could Magistrate Zhu not understand what Wang Lidong meant.
When he saw that the denomination of the bank note was five thousand taels, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that the son of a vulgar person could be so knowledgeable.
He originally thought that Wang Lidong was a fool, otherwise he would not have offended several major landowners and gentry in Linhai County within a few days of taking office.
Five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.
But when he thought of the second son of the Linhai Shun family who was working in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the magistrate became a little hesitant.
Among the gentry who asked for help, he didn't pay any attention to the remaining few.
Just a bunch of bumpkins.
The most important one is that there is only one civil servant in the family, and he is almost fifty years old. He has no hope of becoming a Jinshi in this life.
But a Jinshi in his twenties, and a Beijing official who will be promoted to the sixth rank next year, is really too young.
There is a famous saying in official circles: Don't bully the young when you bully the old.
When Wang Lidong saw this, he took out a banknote from his pocket and slapped it in front of the prefect.
When the prefect saw that the denomination of the second bank note was also five thousand taels, his stern face suddenly became amiable.
I thought to myself, the father and son of the Lin family are more powerful than the other, why don't there be more families like this under my rule?
Ten thousand taels, not to mention that this price may offend a small official in the Ministry of Personnel, even if he is forced to fight hard, he will not be vague.
"Nephew Lin, regarding the case file of the tooth shop, I will immediately approve it here and send it to the Inspector's Yamen early tomorrow morning."
Wang Lidong also gave a few compliments at the right time, and after chatting for a few more words, he stood up and left.
Wang Lidong didn't feel sorry at all for the 10,000 taels of silver he gave away.
The money was only temporarily kept by Zhu.
When it's fattened up, you can come over and kill it yourself.

Two months later, the Huashan sect
After seeing off Lin Zhennan and his wife, Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun returned to Zhengqitang.
"Senior brother, why was Shan'er's marriage decided so hastily?"
Ten days ago, Lin Zhennan and his wife visited Huashan School. After the two parties negotiated the Qin Province Branch of Fuwei Escort Agency, they accidentally talked about their respective children.
When Lin Zhennan heard that Yue Buqun's daughter was not married yet, his heart moved.
In line with the idea of making a shot if there are dates but no dates, I opened my mouth to test it out.
Unexpectedly, Master Yue actually showed interest, but seeing Mrs. Yue's face, she didn't seem to agree.
So Lin Zhennan guessed that there must be no hope in this matter.
Today, when Lin Zhennan and his wife came to say goodbye, Yue Buqun suddenly agreed to marry their children.
Ning Zhongze wanted to object on the spot, but he remembered that his senior brother was the leader of a faction, so he endured it.
Seeing that his wife's face was almost covered with frost, Yue Buqun immediately explained:
"Junior Sister, it has been more than twenty years since I took over the Huashan Sect.
Over the past few years, there has never been a day when I wasn't walking on thin ice.
Have you ever thought about it, if Shan'er marries Chong'er, will she be like us and live in fear all day long?"
Ning Zhong immediately recalled the past experiences of the couple.
Over the years, the Huashan Sect has encountered many crises, and the couple almost died several times.
Shan'er is her only daughter, and she really didn't think about this aspect before.
If she waits until she grows old, her daughter will have to face this world of cannibals.
But Shan'er's martial arts... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
After Yue Buqun saw his junior sister's expression, he immediately added fuel to his anger.
"Although the Fuwei Escort Agency is just an escort agency and is not on the stage, it has been passed down for almost a hundred years.
There are branches in ten provinces, and the family is big and powerful. After Shan'er gets married, she will definitely not endure hardships.
Moreover, this guy named Lin Pingzhi is a first-rate master at the age of less than 20, and Chong'er is far inferior to him.
What's more, he has now entered the officialdom and is the magistrate of a county.
After Shan'er became the county magistrate's wife, all the troubles in the world have nothing to do with her anymore."
Ning Zhong knew that whenever they encountered someone from the officialdom, they would take the initiative to retreat three feet away.
Thinking of this, she felt that her senior brother was much more thoughtful than she thought.
"Senior brother, Shan'er and Chong'er...
If Shan'er knew about this, she would definitely not agree.
If Chong'er knows, he will also..."
Yue Buqun said displeasedly:
"The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Our daughter's marriage is naturally ours.
Chong'er is just his senior brother, and the two of them have been just senior siblings since they were young.
Isn’t it enough for me to leave my position as the leader to him?!
When will I, Yue Buqun, have to obtain their consent before marrying my daughter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly rushed in.
"I don't agree. If you want to marry me, marry yourself!"
It was Yue Lingshan who came in. She had just returned from the back mountain when she heard some inexplicable news.
I am engaged. As for who the other party is, the person who sent the message does not know.
She rushed to Zhengqi Hall immediately and happened to hear her parents talking about this matter.
Yue Buqun suddenly became furious and slapped the table hard with his left hand. A palm print clearly appeared on Huanghuali's table.
"Be presumptuous. You don't have to mess around with this matter. You have to get married even if you don't want to."
Seeing that her father was being unreasonable and yelling at her, Yue Lingshan suddenly cried loudly: "Mom, I don't want to marry the little county magistrate. Mom, woo! woo!"
Mrs. Yue hurriedly walked to her daughter and gently held her in her arms, comforting her softly:
"Your father is doing it for your own good and doesn't want you to follow your mother's path.
You are my and your father's only daughter, and we will not harm you.
After you get married, you can stay away from the fighting and killings in the world and be the head mother of the house in peace and contentment."
But Yue Lingshan just kept crying. She didn't listen to what her mother said at all. She just wanted to be with her senior brother.
"I will never marry until I die."
After saying that, he rushed out of the door and ran to his senior brother's residence.
