This god is really evil

Chapter 237: Magistrate Li Visits a Brothel

Zhang Jun, who was standing by, came over and said indignantly:
"These superiors from the county city are so arrogant and they beat people at will. I was whipped just because I blocked the way of a general flag master when I was coming down from the city wall."

As he said this, he turned around and saw an obvious whip mark on his left cheek.

Chen Wei and several other constables and yamen runners nearby also complained that they were either driven out of their original yamen or bullied by the dignitaries who came from the county town.

"Mr. County Magistrate, you have to help our brothers! We don't even have a place to stand now. These officials are really... taking us too far!"

Zhao Mengsheng was also filled with indignation at this time.

Originally, there was no county magistrate or other chief officials in Qinghe County during this period. He followed Li Yan to work. He was originally a constable, but he gradually became second only to the emperor and above a thousand people. He was so happy. However, he did not expect that after a few days of such happy days, his prestige was destroyed by the dignitaries from the county government.

"These nobles from the county government even brought their families with them. That's fine. The county magistrate and county lieutenant and others have taken over the top girls and courtesans from the eight brothels in Anding County and placed them in the four major brothels in Qinghe County. They have already started business!"

Zhao Mengsheng's face was full of anger at this time.

He did not consider himself to be an honest official or a good person. He sometimes acted dishonestly and abused his power. However, these superiors from the county government were really too outrageous.

The Thousand Eyes Cult had just withdrawn, the White Lotus Cult had just occupied the county town, and these people were still in the mood to visit prostitutes and have fun! ?
"In addition, the defense and public security patrols in our county city are all done by the brothers in the county government. After the county lieutenant Song Yunxuan came, he directly brought his men to drive all the brothers down from the city. They also took charge of the public security in the city. This is simply... taking over the magpie's nest!"

Zhao Mengsheng was mumbling at this time, his eyes were red, and he clasped his fists towards Li Yan and said:
"Sir, you have to make the decision for your brothers!"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, realizing that Shen Tu Yun was fully prepared to treat Qinghe County as the new county seat. Moreover, these people were used to bullying others in the county seat, so they would naturally not lose their dignity when they came to Qinghe County.

He patted Zhao Mengsheng on the shoulder and said:
"A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, not to mention that he is the superior official of the county city. Brothers, please be patient for a few days. The imperial army will arrive in an instant. After driving away the White Lotus Sect in the county city, these county officials will still go back. Since the government office has been occupied, let the brothers come to my Sitianjian government office to work first."

Zhao Mengsheng understood that what Li Yan said was the truth. He could only sigh, clasped his fists and saluted Li Yan, then went to appease the constables with a few trusted men.

Li Yan immediately said to Zhao Qingshan who came with Zhao Mengsheng and others:

"Qingshan, come with me to go shopping."

Since Shentu Yun and his men wanted to completely sideline him as the county magistrate, making him a figurehead and not letting him interfere in the affairs of the county, he would be happy to have some free time.

Zhao Qingshan said happily:
"Okay! Sir, I will prepare the ceremonial guard for you right away!"

He didn't care about the Shentu County Magistrate or the empty-shell county magistrate. He only knew that Li Yan was the county magistrate now, and he could also be powerful and majestic.

This is much more impressive than the previous show that could only be performed in the Sitianjian!
He now feels more and more that his choice is absolutely right.

My mother was right back then. When you meet a noble person, you must hold on to him tightly and not let him run away.

Big Brother Li is a nostalgic person. Once he has secured his position as county magistrate, even though these poor brothers of his cannot become officials, being a clerk like a bailiff in the yamen will be quite prestigious.

Maybe he could even become the head of a squad of detectives, which would bring honor to the family.

When the time comes, he will go back to his hometown in black clothes, and his stepmother will have to massage his shoulders and legs. Zhao Qingshan and others worked hard for a long time to find Li Yan's supervisor's ceremonial guard, and asked Wang Wenshu to change the words on it to county magistrate. They also called a few constables and yamen runners to carry the sedan chair. The group of people marched in a mighty manner, holding signs that said "Silence" and "Avoid", and headed all the way to several brothels in the city.

Zhao Qingshan, Wang Zhigao and others were following the sedan chair with a haughty look on their faces, and they felt that they had become much taller.

I was full of admiration for Li Yan.

It has to be our Lord Li, who just took the seal and took office as the county magistrate today, and went to visit a brothel on the first day! Do the other superiors have this courage?

After Li Yan and others left, the small courtyard of the Supervisor of the Sitianjian became quiet.

In the yard, Ao Le and Chong Yun were sitting cross-legged in meditation in front of the door, protecting Liu Yunhe.

But after what Liu Yunhe said today, both of them felt a little uneasy.

Ao Le was better, but Chong Yun, who was usually taciturn and only focused on cultivation, was waving the pistol in his hand, and one could see the confusion in his mind.

The martial arts he was practicing was a family inheritance, and he had already entered the early stage of the tendons and bones realm, which made him quite powerful. However, the pistol in his hand slipped out of his hand twice in succession, fell heavily to the ground, and was picked up by him again.

Chongyun grabbed the pistol in his hand, looked at the blade, and murmured:
"Aole, it is said that if you learn both literary and martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor. I used to think so too... I just want to practice martial arts well and become stronger. I don't want to think about other things, as if other things don't exist..."

"But these days, the Yuhua Sui case, the Xueling Sui case, and the Thousand Eyes Sect... I am getting more and more confused... What happened to Master Liu today is even more chilling..."

"Should I really sell my literary and martial arts to the imperial family?"

His father was originally a local military officer of the Great Qi, and left him the family martial arts.

What Chongyun has always wanted to do is to master martial arts and become an official like his father, which would bring honor to the family. But now he is a little confused.

Are your goals correct?
Aole sighed, struggled in his heart, then turned around to look around, then looked at the bedroom behind him, then stood up and walked to Chongyun, patted his shoulder, and said:
"Brother Chongyun, I am also troubled by your confusion... Have you... heard of Xuantian Fuzun?"

At the same time, in the bedroom of the supervisor's courtyard not far away, Liu Yunhe, with a dejected and disheartened look on his face, was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries. All the past events flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.

The teachings of sages that he had learned since childhood were like a whip, constantly torturing his heart.

What a pity... The Confucian saint has passed away. If he were still alive, the world would be a completely different place... Or maybe, the world needs a god who truly treats people as human beings...

Thinking of this, he took out a yellowed old book from his arms.

It was the book of local customs that recorded the miracles of Wuliang Xuantian Fuzun.

The words that Liu Yunhe had highlighted in cinnabar appeared:

Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!
