It was already dusk when the messenger arrived at the county government office.
Xia Shang really went there alone, and he was calm and did not worry or fear.
Xia Shang has lived in Yulin County for many days, and he is no stranger to the county magistrate. He knows that this is an idle official who spends his days in a daze. He cannot be said to be dazed, but his work is extremely unreliable.
He made the government offices very depressed, but no one said anything about him.
Now the county magistrate has been ordered by the prefect to punish Xia Shang.
Xia Shang took the initiative to come to the door to deal with this potential threat.
Now is the time when the beggars are taking a nap after work. The walls of the county government office are full of beggars, exuding a stench. When the wind blows and the sand and rocks are flying, it looks even more depressed.
“Mr.
How do the people know the hardships of the county government's police officers? They usually run here and there to benefit the people, but they are feared and hated by everyone. They do a lot of things, get little in return, and get little from the people.
recognition, let alone the respect of the powerful.
But he had just gained long-lost respect from the young master of the Xia family, so he wanted to return this respect to him in double quantities.
The little guy is always the easiest to be satisfied. As long as you give him a good point, he will give you two points in return.
Therefore, the county magistrate said that Xia Shang would be escorted back to the county government office, but now he was respectfully invited back to the county government office.
Xia Shang followed the crowd to the back door of the county government office, and walked from the backyard to the side hall of the court. On the way, he saw a boy in coarse cloth clothes, about twelve or thirteen years old, who was picking up stones and hitting the dead trees by the courtyard. His face was dusty, he must be a man.
Naughty Lord.
After Wang Baotou introduced him, it turned out that he was the son of the county magistrate.
That kid didn't pay attention to Xia Shang and his group, and quickly passed by him while he was playing.
When we arrived at the side hall, Mr. Liang was waiting. The windows were closed, making it dark and eerie.
Xia Shang was brought in by Wang Captou and two of his men. Master Liang let out a light sigh at first. Seeing the prisoner walking gracefully, it seemed that his style was wrong. But he couldn't say anything, so he raised the corners of his mouth.
He shaved off his beard and sat crookedly on the master's stool. He took out his brush, licked it with his tongue, and then dipped it in some ink: "Is this the young master of the Xia family, Xia Shang?"
"kindness."
"Do you know why I sent you here today?"
"Know."
"Then how much money have you hidden secretly if you don't recruit it from the truth?"
"I never kept a penny to myself."
"Didn't you hide it secretly?" Mr. Liang sneered, "Humph... So where did you get the expenses for the extravagant renovations at home recently?"
"I earned it through my own ability."
"Earn it? How can you earn so much money in such a short period of time?"
"Is it much?" Xia Shang asked back.
Master Liang laughed back: "Isn't it much? The newly built house alone requires at least 300 taels of artificial materials. The furniture and ornaments purchased recently need at least 600 taels. And eating and drinking in Huamanlou requires 20 taels at least.
Three hundred taels, let me ask you, did you earn all this money? How could you do it without hiding the Xia family's previous money?"
"Why make a fuss over a mere thousand taels of silver? Master Liang, you have been living in this county government office for a long time, and you don't know the changes outside the county government office. Xia is not talented. He spent three days in Yangzhou City to make money
Ten thousand taels of gold is now known to everyone in Yangzhou City! What does a mere thousand taels of silver mean? If you don’t believe it, you can go to Yangzhou City and ask about it.”
Master Liang paused: "What a sharp-tongued boy! I don't care what gold and silver you have. No matter how you earn it, it is still ill-gotten wealth. I won't shed tears if I don't see you in the coffin today."
.Wang Captou, give me a good beating first!"
However, Capt. Wang did not move and asked: "Master, it is not appropriate to beat people indiscriminately like this. Besides, the three-day appointment between Mr. Xia and his beloved wife has become a good story and has spread throughout Yangzhou City.
I guess it’s not a lie.”
"Prince!" Mr. Liang slapped the table, "What do you mean?"
"What are you yelling about again?" Xia Shang shouted lowly, "You are a young master with no name. Wang Tou is a ninth-grade official and was appointed by the imperial court. How can it be your turn to yell at Wang Tou? You are like this
Try the case in a normal way, and the world will not be in chaos? Do you want to try the case or beat someone? Is it your intention or the intention of Magistrate Chai? If we really want to open a court to declare the case, we will open the door at noon tomorrow and let Yulin County
All the people in the world will listen to it, and let people all over the world come and discuss it."
Master Liang is also a eloquent person, otherwise he would not be a master. He is usually very eloquent and can talk endlessly about everything, but today he met a very reasonable talker who swallowed everything in just a few words.
In the stomach.
"Don't glare at me. You are not qualified as a master. Please invite Magistrate Chai out and we can talk later."
"Why!"
There was a sigh from outside the side hall, and it was the county magistrate's steward who came in.
He had been listening outside the house.
Not showing up means knowing that the person in the house is a hot potato.
On one side is the prefect, on the other side is General Qin. It is really difficult for him, a small county magistrate, to be caught in the middle.
Originally, I didn't want to come forward. I wanted to rely on Mr. Liang to use a quick trick to clear up Xia Shang's guilt, so that even if someone from the Qin family came forward, they wouldn't dare to go against Dahua Luli.
Unexpectedly, the rumored dandy would leave like this, leaving Mr. Liang speechless with a few words.
When this happens, I can't hide even if I want to.
As soon as Magistrate Chai appeared, the dark side hall seemed crowded. Before he could speak, Xia Shang smiled coldly: "This place is closed for all the bad luck and fresh air. If you haven't opened the skylight yet, why don't you wait until the big day?"
Disaster is coming?"
This Magistrate of Chai County was born second in the rankings, how could he not understand the meaning of Xia Shang's words?
"Open less windows, see less light, open your eyes less, and your heart will be brighter."
"If your heart is bright, you should know that someone has died recently, right?"
"People are dying every day, so what if there are one or two more?"
"It's not just ordinary people who are afraid of death...but depending on God's will, will a disaster be imminent?"
After hearing these words, Magistrate Chai was shocked and felt that this guy really knew something.
"Tell me where the disaster comes from?"
"The people who died recently, not to mention your little county magistrate, even the magistrate can't afford it. The villain admires the adults' state of mind. If such a big shot dies, you still hope to fool him, I'm afraid
Your Excellency has already been ordered for fish meat on the chopping board, and you have been waiting for someone to come and cut it."
Magistrate Chai felt excited all over, thinking to himself that this person was talking about the mysterious adult?
How did he know?
"Quick, quick, quick! Open the skylight, and you all can get out."
This time Magistrate Chai really paid attention. After opening the window and everyone leaving the side hall, he spoke:
"Who are you? How do you know the details here?"
Xia Shang didn't say anything and threw something away.
Magistrate Chai County took it and took a look at the wooden waist badge with the word "一" in the tiger's mouth. His expression suddenly changed and he sat down on the ground.
"Supervisor, supervisor, supervisor... the first master of the Overwatch Council!" (To be continued)
