Today is County Lieutenant Li's first day in office. Of course, County Magistrate Liu will introduce to him the important officials in the county government. Li Yi and Wang County Prime Minister Zheng greeted him politely and looked familiar.
acknoledged.
As for other petty officials, they need to take the initiative to come forward to receive gifts.
After a solemn introduction, he took him to his usual office and inner house to have a look.
The inner residence is located in the back hall of the county government office and is divided into several separate courtyards, which can be used by the officials' families. However, in the entire county government office, only four people, including Li Yi, have this privilege.
Before he came, County Magistrate Liu had already sent people to clean the place spotlessly.
According to regulations, officials can only bring their families to live in the county government office after serving for three years. However, even without this rule, Ruyi and the others probably would not come. Li Yi doesn't like the atmosphere of the county government office, so it is better to go back to Ruyifang to live here.
The three squads of government officials have already lined up neatly. The county lieutenant is in charge of the security of a county and is also the direct commander of these government officials.
Among them, the officials who stood on both sides of the court to maintain discipline when the county magistrate was trying the case knew Li Yi. Thinking of the scene in the court that day when Li County Lieutenant was interrogating the case, they looked at him with eyes full of reverence.
color.
Some of the police officers had seen him before, but no one expected that this frail scholar they had met several times would actually become their immediate boss in the blink of an eye.
Although I did not witness it with my own eyes, I heard from some people about the trial of County Lieutenant Li that day. At this time, there were more doubts and curiosity in my eyes. However, when facing the County Lieutenant, there was a look of respect on his face.
It still needs to be shown.
As the head of a county, County Magistrate Liu is quite busy with official duties on weekdays, so it is impossible to accompany Li Yi all the time. He briefly took him to get acquainted with the county government. As for the more detailed matters, he left them to a clever person.
Yamen.
"Sir, would you like me to take you around the county government office again?" The government servant looked at Li Yi with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes and said with a smile on his face.
Ever since he saw Lieutenant Li's methods that day, a door to a new world opened for him. He seemed to have an enlightened mind. When assisting the county magistrate in handling the case, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and not only received the approval of Magistrate Liu,
He was awarded several times and promoted to a small leader among the yamen. At this point, the little yamen who spent all day in the yamen disappeared completely and was replaced by a young yamen with feelings and ideals... a young yamen.
"What's your name?" The yamen servant seemed quite smart, so Li Yi asked casually.
"Sir, my subordinate Liu Yishou." The officer said hurriedly.
"Liu Yishou?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Liu Yishou's father would really give his son a name. He waved his hand and said, "No need to go around, take me to the county captain's office."
"My lord please."
Liu Yishou responded and led Li Yi through the Yimen and towards the corridor on one side.
On both sides of the Yimen, there are small rooms separated, which are where officials other than the county magistrate work.
Liu Yishou led Li Yi into one of the check-in rooms, walked into the door, and saw a pretty woman sitting on the main seat. The woman looked up at Li Yi, put down the tea cup in her hand, and said, "I thought you didn't
It will come."
"How dare you disobey the imperial edict when you are just a humble citizen?" Li Yi sat next to her and poured a cup of tea, neither salty nor light.
If it weren't for the princess arresting him, he would still be basking in the sun in the yard of Liuye Village or Ruyifang. He got angry when he saw her, but he couldn't get angry yet, and he felt a little depressed.
When Liu Yishou saw this scene, he wisely withdrew.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. He cannot get involved in the affairs of these two big shots.
Li Mingzhu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "No matter how lazy you were before taking office, now that you have become a county captain, you can no longer be the same as before, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what if my official position is terminated?" Li Yi turned to look at her and asked with some expectancy.
"The duty of a county lieutenant is very important. If he neglects his duties, leading to unstable public security and unjust and false cases, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated and punished, or..." Li Mingzhu looked at him and lightly passed his hand in the air.
Your sister, do you want to play so big?
Li Yi's eyelids jumped, but after thinking about it, what she said did make sense. The county lieutenant is responsible for public security, arresting thieves, and hearing cases. None of it is a trivial matter. If he neglects his duties, the security in the county will be unstable, thieves will be rampant, or
It was a random verdict that led to an unjust death. This is not just a matter of dereliction of duty. It is a matter of disregarding human life. Just dismissal may not be enough. Qing'an Prefecture Prison welcomes you...
He looked up at Li Mingzhu, his eyes extremely complicated.
I thought I was hugging a thigh, but who knew that the thigh dug a big hole for me to jump into. This feeling of suffocation and depression cannot be felt unless I have experienced it myself.
Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Princess is really weird to the extreme. She doesn't wait for you in the palace, and she has to come here to be a head catcher and suffer hardships. She can't live with herself. What's more important is that the emperor actually agreed------
Li Yi extremely doubted whether she, the princess, was his biological child.
"By the way, in the month before you took office, a lot of cases have accumulated and need to be tried as soon as possible." Li Mingzhu put down the tea cup and said.
"Your mother..."
Li Yi was already feeling aggrieved. He had just come to the county government office for a while, and the stool under his butt was not yet warm. There were a lot of trivial things to deal with, and he couldn't help but complain.
Just halfway through the sentence, I realized that the person sitting across from me was a princess. Isn't it the same as cursing the queen? Insulting the queen is a serious crime of disrespect and will cause your head to be lost...
Seeing Li Mingzhu's face turn cold, Li Yi immediately put on a smile on his face, "Is your health okay? Is your majesty's asthma better..."
"According to what you said, after cleaning the palace several times a day and removing all the flowers and plants from the palace, the frequency of my father's asthma attacks has indeed been reduced." Li Mingzhu said with a trace of softness on his face.
Then, she turned to look at Li Yi and said: "I know you don't want to be an official, so why not do this? As long as you fulfill your duties as a county captain within half a year, I can write to the emperor after half a year,
You are allowed to resign."
"Is this true?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and his tone became more serious.
Half a year can be said to be short or long, but there is always hope. Her words just now are like a glimmer of light in the darkness, guiding Li Yi in the direction.
"Seriously." Li Mingzhu nodded. Half a year later was the time limit agreed between her and her father. Half a year was enough to give him a little training.
"High-five!"
Who knows if she just said it casually, and if she goes back on her word later, without any evidence, who will she go to to reason with?
The ancients believed that there is a god standing three feet above your head. High-fiving your hands means that you have made an oath. If you go back on it, you will be punished by God.
Li Mingzhu glanced at him, but finally reached out and touched him.
Snapped!
Li Yi was hit by her palm and was knocked back two steps. His palms were a little numb, and he extremely suspected that she had just used her true energy.
"Okay, the oath has been taken. Can we go handle the case?" Li Mingzhu stood up, glanced at him, and walked out the door.
"Wait a moment."
Before he walked out of the door, Li Yi's voice came from behind.
"What else?" She turned to look at him.
"How about you create another document?"
Li Yi looked at her with a hesitant look on his face. In case she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and it didn't matter whether she swore or not, it would be better to make a written pledge. After making a written pledge, there would be physical evidence when the time came, so she wouldn't be afraid of going back on her word...
