Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 121 Token
The county magistrate looked at Zhao Min in the hall, his expression was very ugly, and before Zhao Min could speak after sitting down, the county magistrate couldn't wait to speak.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would call you after investigating the situation, why did you come again today!" The county magistrate's eyes were full of disgust.

This time, Zhao Min didn't even kneel down, and stood directly in the lobby, staring at the county magistrate, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Yesterday, Shiyuan led people to smash up our shop again, and please help me!" The county magistrate immediately went to our store to check and decide for the daughter of the people."

The county magistrate originally wanted to confuse the matter, but seeing Zhao Min's reluctance, he felt very irritable, so he thought of finding another excuse to send her away.

Seeing that Zhao Min has been standing under the hall since he came in, he had a plan in mind, and immediately slapped the table vigorously: "Bold and unreasonable, you don't kneel down when you see this official, and drive her out!" .”

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, two officers and soldiers came forward and stood in front of Zhao Min.

Zhao Min looked at the two people, unceremoniously pushed them away, and stared at the county magistrate in a daze.

"Unexpectedly, the county magistrate would be so perfunctory to the people's request. It is really a collusion between the government and businessmen, and the behavior is outrageous."

Over the years, the people in Liangcheng have seen what the county magistrate has done, but no one has ever dared to tell him so bluntly in front of him.

After hearing what Zhao Min said, the county magistrate's face became even more ugly, and he immediately wanted to punish her.

"Bold and unreasonable, dare to slander the imperial court officials like this, it is really ignorant and vulgar! Come, someone, drag her out to beat the top ten boards."

This is an officer standing in front of Zhao Min looking at her and reminding her in a low voice, "Beg for mercy."

Zhao Min looked at him, grateful for his reminder, but didn't intend to beg for mercy.

For Zhao Min, begging for mercy from the county magistrate is better than suffering from these ten boards.

The county magistrate originally wanted to issue this order to frighten her, waiting for her to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he didn't expect the woman to be so stubborn, so he immediately issued a death order: "Drag her out quickly."

The two officers and soldiers stepped forward and dragged her out, pressed her on a wooden stool, and started beating her.

The officer who reminded Zhao Min just now didn't use too much strength, and the other officer saw that she was a woman, so his subordinates also showed mercy.

But these ten boards still made Zhao Min's ass see blood.

After finishing the top ten boards, the two officers and soldiers drove Zhao Min out of the Yamen.

Zhao Min touched his butt, saw the blood on his hands, knew that the blood had seeped out of his clothes, and immediately limped back to the inn.

Of course, she has gained the attention of countless passers-by on this road, and Zhao Min didn't care about it. Now she doesn't have the heart to care about how others think of herself.

After Zhao Min finally returned to the inn, the shopkeeper saw the injuries on her body and couldn't help exclaiming: "Did you go to the Yamen again!"

Zhao Min nodded, and the waiter gave her a look of resentment: "You say you, why don't you listen to persuasion, look at the injuries on your body."

Zhao Min proved her previous thinking was wrong with practical actions, but now she has a wound on her buttocks, and Tao Zhiyi and shopkeeper Hou are two big men, so she can only go upstairs by herself.

He found some ointment that he had made before, took off his clothes, rubbed it on according to his feeling, and lay down on the bed without moving.

Zhao Min was lying on the bed, thinking wildly, and the movements of his hands were not honest. He groped on the bed, but found a piece of jade pendant under the pillow.

Zhao Min picked it up, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and was stunned for a moment, only then remembered that it was a token given to him by Gu Qi after entering Liangcheng.

Zhao Min held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and a thought came to his mind.

Before that, Zhao Min never thought of asking Gu Qi for help, but in the current situation, he might have to go.

The next morning, Zhao Min endured the pain and found a set of clean clothes. After putting them on, feeling the pain in his buttocks, he limped up from the second floor.

Shopkeeper Hou got up early, saw Zhao Min coming down from the second floor, and looked at her as if facing a formidable enemy: "What are you going out for again?"

Seeing the shopkeeper Hou getting up so early, Zhao Min was quite moved, knowing that he was doing it for his own good, and was afraid that he would stubbornly go to the Yamen again, so he wanted to get up early to watch over him.

Zhao Min patted the jade pendant on his waist, and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I won't go to the yamen today, I'm going to ask a friend for help."

Shopkeeper Hou looked at her suspiciously: "Friend? Where do you have any powerful friends in Liangcheng?"

Zhao Min glanced at her mysteriously, only smiled, and didn't tell him what he thought: "Don't worry, I'm just going to try my luck, I won't go to the Yamen." After saying that, Zhao Min walked out of the inn.

Arriving at the gate of Yan Mansion, Zhao Min looked at the two mighty stone lions in front of the house, and couldn't help sighing, he didn't expect there to be such a luxurious house in this cool city.

Looking at the size of the house, Zhao Min knew that the status of taking care of Qi was unusual, and he was a little apprehensive at the moment, hesitating whether he should go in or not. After all, he and Gu Qi only met once, maybe he was just talking politely at that time.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Min was hesitating at the door, Steward Yan opened the door from the inside and saw a strange girl standing in front of the door, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is there something wrong with the girl?"

After hearing the question, Zhao Min calmed down, walked forward, took out the jade pendant from his arms, and put it in front of Butler Yan: "Excuse me, old man, I want to find your master."

Butler Yan took the jade pendant from Zhao Min's hand, looked at the word "Qi" on the jade pendant, and then looked at the texture of the jade. It seemed to be Gu Qi's token.

Butler Yan returned the jade pendant to Zhao Min after checking it out, "Girl, please come in with me."

Zhao Min followed Steward Yan to the side hall, walking all the way, looking at the scenery in the house, he couldn't help admiring, it was really pleasing to the eye.

"Girl, just wait here."

After steward Yan brought Zhao Min to the side hall, he headed towards Gu Qi's yard.

After Zhao Min saw that Butler Yan had gone out, he looked at the scenery in the side hall and looked at the decorations on the table. Zhao Min stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

She didn't understand these things, but looking at the luster, it was worth a lot, so she didn't dare to move around, for fear of bumping into something, so she sat on the chair and waited obediently.

But as soon as he sat down, Zhao Min screamed in pain and stood up.

Feeling the pain in his butt, Zhao Min patted his head in frustration, his pig brain.
