"What nonsense!"
Before the county magistrate could open his mouth, Captain Ma, who had led the team to demolish the temple, became anxious.
"It was clearly the people who were causing the riot, but how come you made it the fault of the government? Sir, I think she is also an accomplice of Qiu Daxian!"
Bang
The county magistrate slammed the gavel and said coldly, "Captain Ma, I haven't spoken yet, why are you so anxious?"
"I, I am worried that you have been deceived by the demon, so I interrupted you in a hurry. Please calm down, please calm down."
Ma, the head of the police force, was very powerful in front of others, but he was timid in front of the new county magistrate.
The gavel banged and he started stuttering.
.......
Although Tangtang's words were unpleasant to hear, they also gave the county magistrate hope of solving the problem.
He reprimanded Captain Ma for his irresponsible remarks and motioned for the little girl to continue.
"Tangtang thinks we can first deploy water trucks to ensure the villagers have no worries in the short term. Then we can dig canals to solve everyone's difficulties from the root."
After a pause, the little girl thought for a moment and said, "Now no one knows that the bad county magistrate has been transferred. If adults can communicate with the villagers in person, Tangtang believes that the problem can be solved faster."
"Absolutely not! My Lord, you must not put yourself in danger."
"Please think twice, my lord. Let us handle this matter--"
Leave it to you?
When I think about it carefully, I always felt that something was wrong after I took office.
The relationship between the government and the people is so tense, but everyone around is trying to whitewash the situation!
If this little girl hadn't come to me today, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark.
How can I leave this matter to you?
"Miss Tangtang, you lead the way. I will bring enough people to follow you. Yes, bring the waterwheel as well!"
As he spoke, the county magistrate glanced at the constables in the hall, who had different expressions on their faces, and his tone turned stern: "Why, is it that I can't mobilize you or what?"
This was a serious statement, so no one dared to say anything and immediately obeyed the order in unison.
Soon, the gate of the county government office opened.
Li Xingwen and Shan Yunhe, who had been waiting anxiously outside, were surprised to find that the little girl walked out with a swagger, followed by the county magistrate and a large group of constables and yamen runners.
.....
"That dog official has been transferred away. Are you the new county magistrate?"
Hundreds of villagers were nervously confronting the constables and yamen runners. The leading man asked with both anger and a bit of respect.
"Yes, if you have any grievances, please tell me in detail and I will make the decision for you!"
The county magistrate was relieved when he heard the man's words, because this man still had awe in front of him, or in other words, in awe of the government.
It's just that the previous county magistrate went too far, and the well suddenly dried up, which led to the situation today.
"If you have any grievances, please speak up. Since this new adult listens to Tangtang, he will definitely listen to everyone else!"
Encouraged by the little girl, the villagers started talking one after another.
At first the county magistrate just frowned, but later he became more and more frightened the more he listened, and his hands and feet became colder the more he listened.
How big a mess did that bastard leave for himself?
Even if the well had not dried up, this place was only one step away from a civil uprising!
What's even more hateful is...
"He has been oppressing the people for many years, just because he has connections in the court, and the reason for his promotion is actually because he is honest and incorruptible?"
The county magistrate's face turned red, but he knew that he had no way to deal with that guy.
Report to the emperor?
What’s the reason? To exploit the people?
If this is the reason, the senior officials who promoted that person and the senior officials who assessed that person as honest and upright will definitely retaliate with all their strength.
I will definitely not be able to withstand this backlash.
"Oh, I am no longer hot-blooded and will not seek trouble for myself."
but!
The county magistrate's chest heaved, and he pointed at the pale-faced Captain Ma and said, "Well done, Captain Ma, you have done a great job over the years!"
Captain Ma was basically responsible for all the evil deeds that man had done.
If I can’t do anything to him, can I do anything to you?
As the villagers watched with relief, Captain Ma was dismissed from his post on the spot, and with his hands tied behind his back, he was escorted back to the county town by his former colleagues.
"I will give you a chance to redeem yourself from your crimes. Go up the mountain and tear down that obscene temple now. From now on... I will forgive you for your past mistakes!"
The remaining detectives were already trembling with fear, and when they heard the county magistrate's words, they immediately obeyed the order.
"Fellow villagers, you can push these water trucks away. Tomorrow, no, as soon as I return, I will mobilize people to dig canals and divert water."
The county magistrate said in a friendly manner: "Go home, when the water truck runs out, go to the county town to get more water. Haha, of course it's free."
.....
Qiu Daxian felt that the monsters in the past were not smart enough and did not know how to govern officials by the people.
He thought that he could rest assured by forming a so-called mountain patrol army and having the villagers guard day and night.
Having such thoughts can only mean that this loach is young and naive, and has no idea how dangerous the world is.
On one side is the little immortal Qiu, and on the other side is the Great Jin Dynasty that has ruled the world for more than 800 years.
If the local officials were a little more reliable, all the villagers would immediately abandon them.
After all, these villagers are not fanatics. They used to forcefully expel the constables because they had no other way to survive.
Now that the great judge has come and there is a way to survive, it is only natural for them to "rebel".
"Qiu Daxian, right? I told you to deceive the people and gather a crowd to cause chaos!"
"Beat him! Beat him to death!"
Having never expected that he would be abandoned, Qiu Daxian was hit with a short stick in his shock.
Theoretically, this short stick cannot hurt the big monster at all.
But when it fell, it was blessed by a great force from somewhere.
"what--"
Qiu Daxian let out a scream, and his body was shattered.
Chapter 043 The Great Reconciliation of the Century
"Sugar Girl"
Seeing the county magistrate waving at her, the little girl ran over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Thanks to you this time, I am really grateful. It may be a bit vulgar, but it is still the most useful thing in the world today."
After stuffing a few heavy pieces of silver into the little girl's hands, the county magistrate smiled and said, "There is one more thing, please don't hide it from me."
"what's up?"
Tangtang accepted the money without any hesitation. She knew enough words now and was ready to start her own journey after the scholar finished his exam.
There will be many places to spend money in the future, so money is never too little.
"Who taught you those words to me before?" the county magistrate asked curiously.
The little girl was indeed courageous enough to remain calm in front of the county leader.
But she is still young, so it is impossible for her to have such knowledge.
"It's my cousin."
Knew it.
The county magistrate nodded and asked Tangtang if he could introduce him.
"Cousin, come here quickly--"
Hearing the little girl's call, Li Xingwen immediately strode over here. Shan Yunhe beside him hesitated for a moment, but stopped moving forward.
As soon as the county magistrate saw Li Xingwen's attire, he knew that he was a scholar preparing for an imperial examination, and he concluded that his family was not well off.
"Greetings to the County Master, this is your student Li Xingwen."
"Good, good. Mr. Li, you have great insights, and I admire you very much. If you are interested in the future, you can always come to me to seek a position."
This was a way of winning over the person, but when Li Xingwen heard it, he not only did not feel happy, but felt a little uncomfortable.
He was determined to take the imperial examination. Once he passed the county examination, he would immediately be promoted from a scholar to a juren.
The juren already has the qualifications to be an official, and his future achievements may not be inferior to that of the county magistrate.
So when scholars heard about "seeking a job" or something like that, they felt that others were looking down on them.
.........
"Xingwen ah"
The county magistrate changed to a more intimate address: "If you and I had met 20 years ago, I would not have said this. But, today, many things may not be what you imagined."
Although the words were vague, the scholar immediately understood the meaning.
He understood it, but he didn't believe it!
"Xie County respects the good intentions"
Li Xingwen showed the kind of pride that is unique to scholars on his face: "It's just that I also want to benefit the people in the future, so I can only thank you."
"Haha, that's fine. Anyway, my promise remains unchanged. If you change your mind in the future, Xingwen, you can come over anytime."
Young and talented people are always proud, and the county magistrate did not care about Li Xingwen's rejection.
After emphasizing his unchanging promise, he said in a tone of great appreciation: "I have seen countless talented people, but they are often talented but cannot accomplish anything practical. Xingwen, you are different. You have read the principles in the book into your bones, and you are a person who can truly integrate knowledge and action."
The county magistrate's evaluation was very high, but Li Xingwen felt so embarrassed that his face turned red after hearing it.
He moved his lips as if to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
At this time, the villagers who had not yet left were in a commotion.
Looking up, I saw that there were a dozen constables dragging a super big loach down the mountain with great effort.
"Humph, this monster really does a lot of harm to people."
The county magistrate said this coldly, but the people around him seemed to be shocked by the huge size of the loach, and no one responded for a while.
"Tangtang, go back and have a drink of water!"
When someone finally broke the silence, the content seemed to have little to do with Master Qiu.
.........
Tangtang hurriedly ran back to the house where she was staying, went into her and Shan Yunhe's room, and immediately released the relic.
The reason why she was panicking was because she felt the violent emotional fluctuations of Xiaobai and Qingjiao in her body.
Amidst the flashing white and green light, the White Bone Goddess wearing golden and red robes appeared in front of Tangtang, with a dragon hanging on her thigh.
"Stop biting, stop biting, let go."
The little girl patted the dragon's head, and the dragon quietly let go.
【fine......】
Xiaobai's wound healed quickly by itself, but she seemed to be worried.
Well, Qing Jiao is the same.
"What happen to you guys?"
Although not fighting is a good thing, the behavior of the White Bone Goddess and the Green Dragon is a bit too strange.
