The system always wants to send me to the heroine

Page 234

I just don’t know whether he wants to cultivate me or protect me and doesn’t want me to become like him.

Unfortunately, under the influence of his words and deeds, what I do is not as clear as he thinks.

I have been the county magistrate for two years now, and the people here have long been dissatisfied.

It's a mess.

Also, this body is exactly 18 this year.

In ancient times, women became adults at the age of 15, and there were also female officials in this history.

You must know that the emperor of this dynasty is a empress.

Logically speaking, this is a society where men and women are equal, but my father raised me as his son since I was young.

He said that if the truth ever came to light one day, all he had to do was let his hair down and put on a skirt, and no one would be able to recognize him.

But according to the laws of this dynasty, except for the serious crime of treason, which carries the punishment of extermination of three generations of the whole clan, for other crimes, at most the property will be confiscated, and no one will be implicated.

I'm really too nervous.

Because I was the county magistrate, after receiving the information, all the laws of this dynasty were already stored in my mind.

"Stupid host, you are still dithering. Come on, go home now! (Knocking head)"

Little F? Why did it follow me?

But, but I'm still a little worried about the innocent people I just put in jail.

The original Li Zhi was stupid, but I am not stupid.

"Stupid host, if you don't listen to me, the heroine will be picked up by the hero! (Roaring)"

Chapter 2 Obstacles

When I heard the news about the heroine, I naturally understood its importance. I immediately followed Xiao F's instructions and hurried to the vicinity of the house.

"Is this the heroine?"

What I saw before me was a dirty little girl, about ten years old, lying face down on the aisle in front of my house. Her posture was so ugly.

Xiao F gave an affirmative answer.

I looked up and there wasn't any dangerous tall building nearby that could cause her to fall from the sky.

Yes, if it really falls, with this face-down landing position, I'm afraid this heroine will be dead.

I stretched out my finger and poked the loli on the ground.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

No response at all.

"Don't play with her anymore, the hero Long Aotian's sedan is about to pass by, hurry up and pick her up! (stomping feet)"

The male protagonist is Long Aotian.

If it's not necessary, I really don't want to meet him.

As far as I can remember, Long Aotian's father and my father were officials in the same dynasty and from the same faction. They had a very close relationship and were close friends.

Since I was a child, my father asked me to visit the Long family frequently to deepen our relationship. When I selected the county magistrate, I also took into account the presence of the Long family here.

However, my relationship with Long Aotian is extremely bad. The reason is simple: this guy claims to be a modest and suave gentleman, and he disdains to associate with a fool like me.

This was already the case, and since I took office as the magistrate of Qiyun County, my "good reputation" had spread throughout the county, so he looked down on me even more.

Well, although I kind of dislike this dirty-looking loli, she is the heroine, and the thing that originally belonged to Long Aotian was picked up. Hehe, I am even more happy to make things difficult for him.

Without hesitation, I quickly picked up the loli lying on the ground and slipped into the gate with difficulty.

As soon as the door was closed, Long Aotian's carriage arrived.

Since he was a child, Long Aotian has had an intuition that surpasses ordinary people, especially when it comes to searching for treasures.

He had always had a life of luxury since childhood and he had no shortage of money. This kind of treasure was generally something more valuable to him.

This is the world's guidance given to the sons of the world.

Commonly known as the protagonist's halo, or the golden rule of skills.

It was this strong intuition that made him urge the coachman to speed up and pass by the gate of Li Mansion, which he would usually take a detour to avoid.

However, just now, this feeling disappeared.

Long Aotian frowned.

He guessed that this was a sign that his treasure had been taken away by someone else.

Lifting the carriage curtain, Long Aotian stuck his head out and looked towards the Li Mansion with displeasure.

"That's all. Let's get going."

In the end, disgust dominated his heart, and he angrily closed the curtain and stopped thinking about it.

He was too embarrassed to ask that idiot Li Zhi for things, even though he was confident he could get them.

Not long after he left, five uninvited guests arrived at the Li Mansion.

They were dressed in tight clothes and were very agile. They could climb over walls and onto roofs as if they were walking on flat ground. They were all masters of Qinggong.

Judging from their figures, there were four men and one woman. The four men were standing guard around the Li Mansion, and the woman in the lead went straight into the mansion without making any sound.

In the room, the woman's target was the little loli heroine who had just been placed on the bed.

She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, carefully poured out the pills, and fed them to the heroine.

Not long after, Loli groaned and slowly woke up.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, I deserve death!"

The woman quickly knelt on one knee and saluted with the knife in her arms.

"No need, this is an emergency, so just keep it simple. Where is this?"

Loli's voice was steady and unusually mature.

"Qiyun County, in the residence of County Magistrate Li Zhi."

The half-kneeling woman didn't say a word.

"Li Zhi, um, tell me about him."

After a moment, the petite girl showed a playful smile that was inconsistent with her age.

"It's a little girl dressed as a man. Well, not bad. I will hide in this place for the time being."

~~~~~~~

After settling the heroine, I asked the servants I hired to take good care of her. Seeing that her breathing was stable but she would not wake up for a while, I hurried to the county government office.

I was always thinking about what happened in class.

That was my mistake. Not only did I listen to slander and send someone to prison, but I also had to wait for the money to be sent from the stubborn family. At the same time, I made the farmer who was waiting to sell the painting worry about his sick child.

This is a mistake upon a mistake.

It can be said that what happened in the past was not my fault. After all, I was the one who caused this incident. The more I think about it, the harder it is for me to let it go.

Now, I have received the information and am familiar with the affairs of the county government and the laws of this dynasty.

As a modern person, I am also confident that it would not be difficult for me to re-examine such a case in ancient times with my extraordinary talents and intelligence.

Just as I arrived in front of the hall, I met Captain Zhu from the yamen, and I quickly stopped him.

"Captain Zhu, bring the two people who filed the complaint yesterday to the court. I want to review the case!"

Full of confidence, I stood on tiptoes and waved my fist.

Unexpectedly, Captain Zhu just laughed and spread his hands.

"Master Li, why bother doing this? If you have time, why not go to a brothel to listen to some music or go to the streets to catch crickets?"

Woohoo, what’s going on? Am I like this all the time?

My face turned slightly red, and then I straightened my posture.

"From now on, this county has decided to turn over a new leaf and work hard to govern. Don't laugh at this, Captain Zhu. Bring the man here quickly."

As a result, my stern and serious attitude made Captain Zhu burst out laughing.

Maybe in his eyes, my seriousness is like a kitten baring its teeth at him, without any threat at all.

"Master Li, how about this? I was asked by Master Diao to guard the prisoner. If you want to try him, how about discussing it with Master Diao first?"

Although I was reluctant, I nodded and agreed because I was always easy-going.

After taking two steps, I came to my senses and felt something was wrong.

I want to try a case, why do I need to ask my lawyer for permission? I am a seventh-rank county magistrate.

As for my advisor, he is of low rank and can only be considered as my aide.

Besides, I am no longer the office worker I used to be. There is no need for my boss to tell me to do anything. I will just do it obediently!

I am clearly the leader of these small leaders!

Phew, Captain Zhu kept making excuses, it seemed I couldn't rely on him anymore. I was unwilling to give up, so I went to the prison myself.

The desperate thing was that I couldn't even control the jailer who was guarding the prison door.

According to them, it was Captain Zhu who ordered that even I was not allowed to enter without permission. Not only were they threatened by Captain Zhu, but their entire family depended on this job for their livelihood, and they could not afford to offend Captain Zhu.

I was very depressed at that time.

They are afraid of offending Captain Zhu, but aren't they afraid of offending me? Shouldn't I be the county magistrate of Qiyun County?

Wronged.

But I won’t cry. If a person likes to cry, it’s only because he has someone to act coquettishly and talk to. People who are alone will always be strong.

And I have nothing at this moment.

Perhaps seeing how sad I was, the jailer couldn't help but say something more.

Let me relax, the only way to get benefits is to listen to the master, which is why Captain Zhu is willing to follow him.

Chapter 3 She Believes in Me

I sighed and just smiled bitterly.

I didn’t expect that it would be so difficult just to have the case retried.

The captain of police doesn't listen to me, the bailiffs don't listen to me, and even the jailers and wardens are out of my control.

Gu, I used to be a member of society, so I naturally understand. Even though it is just a small county government, interest groups have already been formed, and people from all parties will naturally do their best to safeguard their own interests.

It would be too difficult to break this balance without external force.

What should I do?

Feeling strangely uncomfortable, I asked Xiao F about it.

Sure enough, there was no answer.

Now this guy is so irresponsible. Unless it’s something important, he won’t care about me at all.

It seems that it is only interested in the heroine's affairs.

Um, heroine?

Woohoo, I don’t have any better solution here anyway, so I might as well go home and see the heroine first.

What else can I do if I don't give up?

It was all in vain, I came with high hopes but left with disappointment.

After a day of running around, I opened the door in a huff. Unexpectedly, a cute little girl with a big smile greeted me.

The heroine has woken up.
