Because the color of the robe is pure black, no blood stains can be seen, but as the Tianji Demon approaches, the smell of blood is ten times stronger than before, but if you look closely, you will find that there is only a little blood on the sleeves.
It's probably the expression of extreme joy after the killing, which gives the illusion of a demon.
Rao Dog Yao has followed Tian Ji Yao for many years. Facing Tian Ji Yao at this time, he had to work hard to suppress his fear so as not to take a step back.
"Are you afraid?" Tianji Yao asked softly, glancing at it.
The dog demon was scared to death, but he still hurriedly replied: "The king is mighty, so the little one is naturally afraid."
This answer unexpectedly made Tianji Demon a little satisfied. It nodded: "Just clean up the garbage inside in a while."
Then, looking at the rising red sun, it raised the corners of its lips and whispered softly: "Now, no monster can oppose me."
Shun'an Prefecture·Prefect's Yamen
"Open the door!"
The yamen servant shouted loudly, and the two red-lacquered and copper-nailed doors opened. The yamen servants filed in. They were all silent and solemn. When they saw Su Ziji arriving, they all bowed down together: "I have seen the great master."
"Get up!" Su Ziji accepted the gift, glanced at it, and wanted to laugh.
The first thing that catches the eye are the three squads of yamen servants, holding water and fire sticks, and the head catchers carrying iron rulers. In addition, there are also the petty officials of each room. This salute and expression, the ancients said it was a bird standing, a fish entering, a heron lying down, and an ape presenting.
, it was really a phenomenon, so I gave a few casual instructions, waited for them to disperse, and went to the small hall to work.
"Sir, the official documents are all ready." As soon as he entered, someone bowed and handed a stack of documents to Su Ziji with a very respectful attitude.
This has become the norm. A country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the same goes for government offices. Although the office in front still maintains the furnishings of Magistrate Qi, the people who come and go are obviously headed by Su Ziji.
Ever since Magistrate Qi fell ill, Su Ziji has taken over the affairs of Shun'an Mansion. In name, he is now the Acting Prime Minister and the second-in-command of Shun'an Mansion. In fact, he has taken over the responsibility of being the top leader. In the entire Shun'an Mansion, he always speaks what he says.
.
"[The Way of Government] Level 5 (4515/5000)"
These days, Su Ziji has gradually understood that level 3 entry level, level 6 professional, level 11 specialization, and level 15 master. For Jinshi, the Four Books and Five Classics require level 15 to pass, but when an official handles political affairs, entry level is enough.
Unless there are any major flaws, it would be hard to find fault with the professionalism.
After Su Ziji came to power, all the affairs of Shun'an Mansion were carried out in an orderly manner, but even so, he did not dare to relax. He kept paying attention to the end of the eradication of locusts and only finished one thing. At this time, the official came over and called softly:
"Master Su!"
"meet?"
In the government office, it is rare for an official to have face in front of Su Ziji and an old man who works with Qi Hongxin.
Because he was in charge of documents and other trivial matters, it would be a bit troublesome to hand it over to someone else. Besides, Su Ziji didn't have to be an emperor and a courtier. As long as it was easy to use and could be used by himself, he had no intention of changing it.
Be your own person in your position.
Moreover, this person followed Qi Hongxin and was Qi Hongxin's usual person. He took the position of Su Ziji and made him responsible for the affairs of the backyard. This was also a way for Su Ziji to show goodwill to Qi Hongxin and the Qi family.
At this time, when he saw the official coming in, he raised his head and asked, "But what about the end of the locust eradication?"
The official smiled and said: "Exactly, almost all the locusts in our Shun'an Prefecture have been wiped out, but there are still some in other counties. Now we mainly focus on guarding against these imported locusts, but the number is also smaller than before.
It’s been reduced a lot.”
"That's good."
Su Ziji nodded, his eyes fell on a stack of manuscripts he was studying with him, and asked: "How is the current situation of Prefect Qi?"
In the past few days, because he had taken over the affairs of the prefect, he was indeed too busy to go and see it in person, but from time to time he would ask someone to send something over. At this time, asking the official was actually just a casual question.
In his opinion, there is not much difference between Qi Hongxin's illness and whether he is suffering from it slowly, asking or not asking.
Since I was not a doctor, I really couldn't save Qi Hongxin's life.
Moreover, given the complexity of the relationship between the two, it was Su Ziji's conscience not to add insult to injury.
"This..." A hint of uneasiness flashed across the official's face, but he quickly covered it up and replied softly: "Master Qi, I sent people from my humble position to visit him several times, but he said he was bedridden all the time.
, it looks like it’s not going well.”
I originally thought that the Prime Minister had not visited me again, and I was afraid that he would not go after hearing this this time.
Unexpectedly, Su Ziji slowly figured it out in the past few days. Now that he had given up his thoughts, he should be treated like an ordinary superior. By chance, he finally finished handling the backlog of official duties and sighed: "In that case, then I should
Went to take a look."
Not noticing the slight change in the official's face, Su Ziji stood up and left.
Although the prefect's yamen and the residence behind are the front and back yards, due to their large area, there is a garden in between. If you don't move around, you really don't know what will happen in the back yard.
Ever since Su Ziji took over the government affairs, people in the backyard only used the back door instead of the front door to avoid bumping into each other.
Su Ziji arrived at the backyard. When the gatekeeper saw that it was Su Ziji and was about to go in to report, Su Ziji stopped him first with a wave of his hand and asked: "How is your family doing?"
"My master has been taking medicine these past few days. It's not bad, but..." The guard timidly looked inside and murmured. Su Ziji followed his gaze and couldn't help but darken his face.
The place was still in good order the last time I came here, but this time I heard a burst of noise before I even walked in.
Someone was angry and said loudly: "Why can't I leave? I have no merit but hard work. What do you know? Get out of my way quickly, or you can't blame me, Fan San, for not remembering the master-servant relationship in the past and attacking you!"
"
"What's going on?" Su Ziji's body went cold, and at the same time an unbelievable thought came to his mind, and he immediately took a few steps quickly.
Then I saw the two people pulling each other.
A man in his forties shook off the boy who was dragging him away and cursed: "You little bastard, if you don't get out of the way, I'm going to beat you up!"
Not to be outdone, the young man angrily said: "Fan San, you can leave if you want, I won't stop you, but why do you still want to take things? The calligraphy and paintings you took were gifts from my father's friends. You must put them down before you can leave!"
"
"Hmph, we abandoned our family and children to follow officials. Who wouldn't expect to get rich? But your father wants to be an upright official and offends others. As a result, we can't even find ways to make money without others giving us face."
"If you don't get some calligraphy and painting, just five taels of silver a month, and my whole family can drink the northwest wind?"
Fan San is really aggrieved. In fact, if the master's family is an upright official, the servants may not be without oil and water. Among other things, people from the prefect's family always have some kindness when they go out. This kind of kindness is rare for officials, but for servants
, that’s not necessarily the case. A little leakage between your fingers will make a mouse’s mouth full of fat.
But Qi Hongxin still offends people everywhere. It would be nice if others don't show off their face. Who will give him face?
