In the back hall of the Anxi County Government Office, Magistrate Liu was sitting on the Taishi chair, sipping tea leisurely.
Drinking tea is one of his hobbies. Magistrate Liu does not have many hobbies. One of them is to close the door and act recklessly in the room with his concubine. The next step is drinking tea.
The tea is good tea, and it was given to him by the county magistrate just a few days ago. The county magistrate is also a good tea person. County Magistrate Liu has been thinking about his treasured tea for some time, but the other party has been unwilling to part with it. A few days ago, Zhou Zhou
After the county captain was taken away by people from the government office, the county magistrate seemed to have changed. Not only did he readily serve him good tea, but when he talked to him, his attitude was much more humble than before.
Having been an official for many years, Magistrate Liu certainly knew why the county magistrate had such a change.
A few days ago, Lieutenant Zhou County was found guilty of corruption, perverting the law, accepting bribes, and using public affairs for personal gain... Anyway, there were a lot of charges listed, and he was ordered to be sent back to the government office by the general judge. I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future.
Before, these things were extremely normal to them.
I am afraid that none of the officials of the county government, big or small, can truly be said to be clean-minded and selfless.
Collecting a small amount of money to provide convenience to others are all harmless things. As long as the matter doesn't get serious, even he will turn a blind eye.
Naturally, the county magistrate had done these things before. The problem was that Zhou Xianwei, who was as close as him, was taken away like this. When the county magistrate heard the news, he broke into a cold sweat on the spot.
If traces were found on him, wouldn't he also end up with the same fate as Zhou Xianwei?
After being on tenterhooks for a few days, nothing happened that he was worried about, so he finally felt relieved.
It seems that Zhou County Lieutenant is just unlucky, and it is not that the higher-ups want to thoroughly investigate these officials. However, although he feels a little relieved, his behavior has restrained a lot. He dare not do any small tricks in secret. He has a good relationship with the county magistrate.
If there is any news from above, he will know it immediately.
Of course, Magistrate Liu accepted the offer of favor from the county magistrate. At this moment, he half-squinted his eyes and sipped the fragrant tea. He was still thinking about what he had just said with his concubine. Suddenly, there was a sound coming from outside the door.
There were rapid footsteps, and a yamen servant rushed in furiously.
Magistrate Liu raised his eyebrows. Last time something happened to Lieutenant Zhou, this guy came in like a storm. Looking at his panic this time, could it be that something big happened again?
Not caring about the fact that he didn't knock on the door, he hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"Sir!" The yamen servant gasped and said, "There is someone coming from the front yamen, coming from the capital!"
"Capital!"
Magistrate Liu exclaimed, people from the capital did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked towards the front hall.
A quarter of an hour later, Magistrate Liu changed into his official uniform and followed the two eunuchs who came from the palace to deliver the order and left the Yamen.
The two of them were indeed from the capital, and the imperial edict could not be false.
But he came all the way from the capital to announce the edict just to reward a small county captain. When did the edict become so worthless?
Of course, imperial edicts are not so cheap. Magistrate Liu has only seen them twice in all his years as an official.
You know, when he took office, he only had a letter of appointment in his hand, but now that a county captain under his command can actually be personally sealed by His Majesty, how can he continue to serve under him in the future?
In the past, there was a female catcher with a distinguished status, and the Lord of the Palace personally warned her not to offend. Later, there was a county captain who asked your Majesty to seal her personally. She must be a person with a great background, and I am afraid she cannot afford to offend him. He is still a county magistrate.
What's the point?
"Lead the way to Lijiacun!"
When he was at the Yamen just now, County Magistrate Liu had already investigated the incoming Li County Lieutenant. At this time, he took a group of Yamen servants and led the two people to Lijia Village to announce the decree.
"There's no need to go to Lijia Village!" A light voice came from behind. Magistrate Liu looked back and saw a heroic figure walking out of the county government office.
"male……"
When the two eunuchs who delivered the decree looked back, their expressions suddenly changed, and they were about to kneel down to salute. Li Mingzhu waved to them and said, "If you want to announce the decree, go directly to Ruyifang."
…………
In Ruyifang, Li Yi was lazy and didn't come here again today. Apart from the four girls in the shop, there was only Lao Fang, who was sitting in the corner and was bored and had already started to take a nap.
In intermittent dreams, I followed my uncle to make money and bought a big house. I had people to take care of me for everything I did. After struggling with her for a long time, the evil woman at home finally allowed me to take concubines. I was overjoyed and was about to take those jade courtyards away.
The little red girl welcomes home...
"Who is Li Yi? Your Majesty has a decree, please kneel down and take it quickly!"
Suddenly, a loud roar woke up Lao Fang from his dream, and his body trembled. The big house was gone, the servants and maids were gone, and the little girl was gone...
"Why are you shouting? We are going to a funeral!"
The sweet dream was disturbed, and Lao Fang was immediately furious. He didn't even notice the person coming, so he cursed him.
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
The two white-faced and beardless men's faces darkened, they glared at Lao Fang, and said coldly almost at the same time.
As a eunuch delivering edicts, he was fine in the palace. But when he left the palace, whoever saw them was not respectful and greeted them with smiles. How had he ever been scolded like this?
What did this guy just say?
Going to a funeral?
How dare you describe His Majesty's decree as attending a funeral? You are simply seeking death!
Magistrate Liu, who was following the two of them, also had his eyelids twitching. Where did this second-rate guy come from? Can he say such a bastard thing?
"Why, you still want to take action!"
Lao Fang was still angry at being awakened from his sweet dream. Hearing this, his eyes widened and he took a step forward. A wave of momentum suddenly overwhelmed him.
Is it still reasonable to disturb people’s sweet dreams?
It seems that these two guys called my uncle's name just now. Looking at their posture, are they here to seek revenge?
Thinking of this, the aura exuding from Lao Fang became a little stronger.
The expressions of the two eunuchs changed, and then their expressions turned completely cold, and they shouted loudly: "Get him!"
"He who doesn't know is not guilty, and he who doesn't know is not guilty..." Before the government officials outside the door came in, County Magistrate Liu hurriedly waved his hand, looked at Lao Fang and said: "You are a good guy, these two are the current His Majesty.
Where is Li Yi, the person sent to deliver the order? Call him out quickly to receive the order!"
"Accept the order?"
Lao Fang looked at the man in official robes, and then at the two eunuchs, standing there in a daze, his mind going blank.
Several women were standing next to the counter, looking at them with shock in their eyes.
"Where is your uncle?"
Just when Lao Fang's heart was in turmoil, a familiar voice came to his ears.
"At...at home." Lao Fang swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice.
