"What bad words?" Li Yi looked back at Miss Liu Er and said in surprise: "Ruyi, when did you come here?"
"It's not too early." Miss Liu Er held the sword in both hands and said, "When you tell Xinyi to stay away from me."
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "I'm kidding, how could I say such a thing..."
"Sister Ruyi spanks brother." Yongning looked at him and reminded: "Brother just said that those who spank others are bad people, so sister Ruyi is a bad person..."
"Children, don't listen to other people's words." Li Yi looked at her and said seriously: "Hitting is kissing and scolding, and a family must love each other. If Xinyi disobeys, sister Ruyi will also spank Xinyi.
, that is also love..."
Yongning immediately covered his butt, took a few steps back, looked at Miss Liu Er, and asked: "Then Sister Ruyi spanked her brother because he was disobedient?"
Li Yi thought to himself that children are simple-minded. Miss Liu Er beat him not because he was disobedient, but because of his own actions...
Yongning looked at Ruyi and said pitifully: "Xinyi will be obedient. Sister Ruyi, please don't spank Xinyi, okay?"
"Does beating mean kissing or scolding?" Miss Liu Er held the sword in one hand and held Li Yi's shoulder with the other hand, saying: "Let's go over there and let me love and love you..."
Li Yi wanted to take her hand away, shook his head and said: "No need, I am your brother-in-law, it is not good for others to see..."
No matter how hard he tried, the hand on his shoulder would not move at all. Miss Liu Er smiled and said, "You're welcome, a family should love each other..."
"Spanking means kissing, scolding, and love..." Yongning stood there, watching the two people enter another courtyard, and murmured: "Sister Ruyi spanks her brother, is it because she loves him?"
"Your sister Ruyi spanked your brother, not because she loved your brother, but because your brother loved her..." Lao Fang, who was squatting at the door, shook his head, looked at her and said, "You are still young, these things...
You'll know when you grow up."
While Miss Liu Er was pampering Li Yi in the yard, Governor Shi of Shu had just walked into the Governor's Mansion.
Obviously, when he first arrived in Shuzhou, he encountered bandits and saw the collusion between the Yongzhou County Magistrate and the bandits. His Highness King Jing was really angry and determined to eliminate the banditry in Shuzhou.
It is good that His Highness King Jing has such a thought, but he has been in Shuzhou for many years, and no one knows better than him how serious the banditry in Shuzhou is.
Not to mention that there are so many bandits and horse bandits in Shuzhou. If we want to completely eliminate them, how much manpower and material resources need to be invested, and whether the county governments can allocate them...
Just talking about the collusion between officials and bandits, the government office is a den of thieves and a protective umbrella for some bandits, which has caused great obstacles to this matter.
All the government offices in the seven counties of Shuzhou are more or less involved in this kind of thing. If His Royal Highness King Jing's decree continues, the following people will respond passively for various reasons, just like the many previous bandit suppressions. It is impossible to produce any results.
.
The suppression of the bandits was in vain, His Highness King Jing was disgraced, and he would turn his anger on people like them out of nowhere.
There is currently no governor in Shuzhou. As the chief governor, he is temporarily in charge of all affairs. Naturally, he also wants to move up to the top and secure that position.
If this first thing is done badly and King Jing is dissatisfied, it is obviously not a good thing.
Putting aside whether the suppression of bandits can be successful or not, His Highness has ordered that in five days, all officials of the eighth rank and above from seven counties need to appear at the Yongxian County Government Office. He must handle this matter properly.
As soon as he walked into the government office, he ordered the master who came up to him: "Immediately, ask someone to go to the other six counties to deliver a message and inform officials above the eighth rank that they must appear at the Yongxian county government office within four days. This
This is an order from His Highness King Jing. Anyone who violates it will be severely punished!"
The master immediately paused: "Yes, sir, I will make arrangements right away!"
In addition to Yong County, there are six counties under the jurisdiction of Shuzhou. Due to its remote location, the area of several counties is far larger than that of ordinary counties. However, starting from Yongzhou, riding a fast horse to Ji County, which is the farthest away,
One day is enough.
…
Ji County County Government.
The magistrate of Ji County had just sent away the messenger from Yong County. When he walked back to the county office, his face looked a little ugly.
King Jing has just arrived in Shuzhou for one day and he wants to summon everyone there. What is his intention?
He had just asked the messenger in a roundabout way. This time King Jing summoned officials of the eighth rank and above from seven counties to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits.
If the bandits in Ji County were really wiped out, how could he marry a seventh concubine without his most important source of income?
"Sir, don't worry. When the King of Shu was here, didn't he symbolically suppress bandits a few times? There have been quite a few bandit suppressions over the years..."
Next to him, a man with a goatee said with a smile: "The soldiers will stop them, and the water will cover them. They want to suppress the bandits. All we have to do is cooperate. As for whether they can succeed in suppressing them, it depends on God's will..."
"You don't know..." The county magistrate of Ji County shook his head and said: "This King Jing is not an ordinary person. It's better to be careful. Send someone to tell Liu Huzi and ask him to calm down for me during this time.
It's best to stay in the nest and don't come out, otherwise if something happens, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Okay, I'll inform you right away."
"And..." The magistrate of Ji County thought for a moment and said, "Get ready. I'm going to set off immediately. I'll go to Linxian first. This time I have to discuss it with Huang..."
"I'll send someone to inform Magistrate Huang first..."
"Go ahead."
…
In Ji County, there are more than a dozen thatched huts scattered in a mountain forest somewhere.
At this moment, in an open space in front of the hut, a man with a big beard looked at his subordinates opposite and frowned: "Look at how cowardly you are. Just a few words from outside scared you."
It's like this. How much money has his surname Wei taken from us over the years? If we are doomed, he will also be doomed. Does he dare to suppress us?"
"But brother, I heard that the government is going to take serious action this time..."
"Put your hearts back into my stomach. We and Wei are just grasshoppers on the same boat. Worrying about the government suppressing bandits is better than worrying about when we will encounter those bald heads again..."
When it comes to bald heads, some people's faces immediately start to turn pale.
When it comes to suppressing bandits, they are the ones who should be suppressed the most. They are a group of beasts with no morals and no bottom line!
They had no bottom line and even robbed all their colleagues. Even if they robbed once, they could find them even after moving three times. Each time, they looted the entire village...
It even gives people the feeling that they, the bald pigs and sheep raised in captivity, have to repeat that painful experience every once in a while...
The bearded man thought for a while and said: "No, we have to talk to others about this matter. If the government wants to have fun, then just play with them..."
…
Governor Shi of Shu is quite reliable in his work. The five-day period has come and when Li Yi came to the Yongxian County Office, the seven counties in Shuzhou, except for the magistrate of Yongxian who was still in jail recovering from his injuries, the rest of the counties should have arrived.
There is no shortage of officials.
"See His Highness the King of Shu!"
As he approached the Yamen, the crowd across from him immediately bowed and saluted.
"No courtesy." Li Yi waved his hand and asked, "Do you know why I asked you people to come here today?"
The person at the front nodded, bowed and said: "Back to Your Highness, Zhao Changshi has already told us that His Highness King Jing summoned us here because of the banditry in Shuzhou."
"That's right." Li Yi nodded and said: "Shuzhou is seriously infested with bandits, bandits and bandits are rampant, lawless, and the people are in dire straits. It should be the responsibility of you parents and officials to clean up the banditry and calm down the public order. With the situation in Shuzhou now, you
There is no shirking the responsibility - of course, the king has summoned you here today not to punish you."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present were relieved.
They were really afraid that His Highness King Jing would punish them indiscriminately. After all, there were many people who did this before. Now it seems that His Highness King Jing is worthy of being His Highness King Jing. He is so reasonable and touching.
"I can let things go in the past, but as the father-in-law of Shuzhou, you should also shoulder your due responsibilities with the salary from the court."
Li Yi glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "From today onwards, if the people's property in Shuzhou is robbed, any losses will be compensated by the officials in the area first. After the property is recovered, it will be returned to the officials to make up for it...
"
When many officials heard this sentence, they all stood still.
If the people's property is lost, local officials will advance the payment.
The crimes committed by bandits put officials like them at the receiving end...
