Xiao Qi turned back to the young man and said, "Sir, Miss Li's acting is really good. She changes her face as fast as she can change her facial makeup in Peking Opera."
"Tell me, how can a little girl be so good at this?"
"She can do anything soft or hard on her own. Isn't Magistrate Zhou afraid that he won't be able to defeat her? That would ruin the young master's important matter!"
Xiao Qi was extremely anxious, thinking that no matter how quick-witted County Magistrate Zhou was, he would have no chance of winning when faced with such a naughty little girl.
He's a dignified parent and official, so he won't behave like a little girl.
Compared to Xiao Qi's anxiety, Gu Xuan was as calm as ever.
The young man put his lips to his and chuckled, "A bit clever, but Zhou Bi is not stupid either. If he can't handle a little girl, he won't need to take the position of county magistrate."
In front of the hall, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Bi's forehead, feeling that the little girl was really difficult to deal with.
He was willing to talk and use all kinds of martial arts in turn, but why didn't she listen to his advice?
This made him almost at his wits end.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Little ancestor, please do your best, but don't make any nonsense!"
"I also understand your intention. After all, you just want to be rewarded based on your merits. Tell me, how much money do you need to get over this matter?"
Zhou Bigang had just made such a big deal in front of the noble people and promised to get things done, but the people in the back room were still sitting there, how could he mess up the matter?
At the moment, I just hope that for the sake of money, this little money-lover can relent and spare him this time.
"Sir, if a civilian girl tells you this sincerely, how can she be fooling around?"
But the girl still refused, and her tone was soft and serious, "I am a girl who cannot be promoted to an official or a noble title. But if the adults show me merit, then don't all the adults in the court know that this is the case?
Even your Majesty's princess and princes will know it, and the common people in the world will also know it. Won't that common girl in Kyoto have a name, and from now on she will never be one of those other living beings."
The girl's eyes sparkled, "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, do you think I'm still joking when a citizen girl says this?"
If Li Yan had said these words to him before praying for rain, he would have thought that Li Yan was going crazy.
But now, things are different. Li Yan has achieved something.
As she said, this is a great achievement, and this is not an ordinary great achievement.
In He County, she wants fame and merit, and no one can replace her in the hearts of the people.
Even Zhou Bi himself can't.
As Li Yan said, he went out of his way to demonstrate his merits for her, so Li Yan's request was not considered outlandish.
Zhou Bi was secretly shocked. If Li Yan had had such thoughts for a long time, then this little girl was really too scheming.
Zhou Bi couldn't help but look at the little girl again.
The girl in front of her has clear eyes and is pure and innocent.
Seeing him looking over, the girl actually smiled, pulled her Taoist robe in front of him, and spun around in a circle.
If there were skirt corners on the Taoist robe, she might not have to pull up the skirt skirts and bow to him.
Zhou Bi's blood rushed to his forehead, and he almost fainted from her anger again.
There is no innocence here.
This is clearly a demon who has been cultivating for thousands of years and specializes in causing harm to the world.
She was so angry that he refused to give in.
Zhou Bi pointed at the girl and said, "You came here to file a lawsuit with me and said that for the sake of peace with the people of the county, you voluntarily sacrificed yourself to pray for rain for the people, and did not hesitate to go through fire and water. This is all nonsense. In fact, you had a premeditated plan.
Everything is fine."
"You just want to gain fame and fortune!" Magistrate Zhou's beady eyes suddenly became sharp.
Fortunately, he was moved by her for a while.
Pooh.
I hunt geese all day long, but I don’t want to be pecked in the eye by a goose one day.
"Oh, you can see it." The girl actually laughed at him.
"My lord, you are really naive and don't care about fame and fortune. I am stupid. Just like my lord, if you don't always talk about dedicating yourself to the people of the county and dying for yourself, my lord dare to say that what you have done recently is not for the crown on your head.
Wusha hat?"
The little girl kept talking so loudly that Zhou Bi almost got mad at her to death.
"Let's just say that the seven girls you forcibly detained at that time were all relatives of your political opponents. Naturally, the families of those girls were not good people, but weren't you planning to eliminate dissidents and capture some for the treasury at the same time?
Income?”
"You are trying to capture the minds of those people. I understand that you cannot offer them to the River God. You are just praying for rain and offering sacrifices to the River God to attract the relatives of these people to redeem their lives. Their relatives
They are all evil tyrants who are causing trouble for one party. You can take this opportunity to get a sum of money from them, which can also fill the treasury and help the refugees."
"If no one comes to redeem them, then they have offended the river god. This crime can be big or small. You will also have an excuse to deal with those bullies. Then it is up to you to give them a light sentence and a heavy sentence."
"In both public and private matters, whatever you do is beneficial to you. Therefore, when the daughter of the people asked you to let the seven girls go, you refused in every possible way. Sir, do you think the daughter of the people was wrong?"
After hearing these words, Zhou Bi's heart was shocked.
He looked at the girl with an unpredictable expression, sighed deeply, and then said after a long time, "How do you know these thoughts of my officer?"
Even Wang Fugui, who was next to him, kept his arrangement secret. The little girl analyzed it clearly and logically, just like a roundworm growing in his stomach.
The skin all over Zhou Bi's body was tight.
The girl said calmly, "A civilian girl doesn't need to know what an adult is thinking, a civilian girl only needs to know what the old lady thinks.
"If the old lady knew that you were an unkind official, forcibly recruiting women of the people, and disregarding human lives, she would not be happy to kill you."
Zhou Bi suddenly realized that it was the old lady who had revealed her secret.
If Li Yan had deduced it herself, then she would really be a monster.
"Sir, although I messed up your plan, my prayer for rain has come true!"
The girl blinked and said, "Because of those girls, the county government treasury has a lot of credits, right?"
"Your official position has been saved because of this. It is possible that you will be able to achieve success, and even further, your official career will be prosperous."
While talking, the girl felt aggrieved and said, "Hey, my little girl only has such a small request, and you can't comply with my little girl's request. This is your fault."
Straight bitch, thank you.
Zhou Bi almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and finally realized He Xiucai's mood of wanting to kill someone.
This is not a thousand-year-old fox, this is the ancestor of the thousand-year-old demon fox.
The girl looked tacitly, winking at him and saying, "But it's true that I pray for rain for the people, just like it's true that you pray for the people of He County. Otherwise, we just take it by the way, and the people also do it."
Everyone understands that, my lord, you are a good official, and you are recognized by the people of He County as the Grand Master of Qingtian."
The girl looked as if the villain had succeeded. After beating him, she put a high hat on his head.
