The blessed girl of rebirth comes to the door
Chapter 95 The dilapidated Yamen
Arriving at the county government office, the plaque above was engraved with the four characters "Lingshui County Government Office".
The yamen seems to have experienced the baptism of time. The tall, faded gate and the armored copper ring are dark in color. Although the color is no longer there, it still exudes majesty.
The tiles on the roof are crooked and have a shaky feeling, as if they will fall off when the wind blows. I am really afraid that one day a piece of it will suddenly fall and hit my forehead. It makes me scared to look at it.
There are two thick pillars at the gate. From a distance, you can see many wormholes in the wood. The wood chips piled up on the ground are like small mounds. Although the pillars are worn out, they still show their majesty and power.
There are a pair of domineering and majestic stone lions placed on both sides. They have been exposed to wind and sun all year round and have turned black. The lions bared their teeth and showed a fierce look. Just looking at them makes people feel a little timid.
Wang Ruixue’s eyes were shocked! Why does this county government office look a bit old and almost dilapidated?
She thought about what she saw on Baidu. There is a proverb in China called "Officials don't build offices, and customers don't build shops."
In the fourth year of Yuanyou (1089), Su Shi went to Hangzhou again after fifteen years to serve as the magistrate.
Submitted to the imperial court a "Prayer for the Grant of an Ultimatum to Repair the Houses", "All of them are precious and huge trees, known as majestic. After more than a hundred years, the lawsuit was unable to repair it, and could not bear to demolish it into a hut. It rotted away due to wind and rain. Decayed".
Wei Zhenyu looked at the old and dilapidated Yamen with no emotion in his eyes. There were some things that were beyond his control and he would not interfere in the slightest.
"Da da da da..., the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Wang Ruixue turned around and looked up, just in time to meet Meng Hanlin's eyes. However, Wang Ruixue quickly looked away, as if she had never met before.
Meng Hanlin's pupils trembled when he saw Wang Ruixue! She almost fell off the horse! It was her! That's her!
I didn't pay attention in Huaxi Pavilion today, but I can see it very clearly now.
She actually pretended not to recognize him. Meng Hanlin felt despised by Wang Ruixue, and he felt unhappy.
But who is the young man next to him? Could it be that she is his maid? It must be the maid.
Otherwise, how could she, a country girl, come to the county town? Meng Hanlin was very sure.
Wei Zhenyu saw Meng Hanlin frown slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Meng Hanlin arrived at the gate, turned over and dismounted, looked at Wang Ruixue with contempt in his eyes, and said in a haughty tone: "Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this a country girl from Tianmen Village? I almost didn't recognize her today?"
Wei Zhenyu's eyes were shocked! They know each other!
Wang Ruixue pretended to have just recognized him, with a look of surprise in her eyes and a trace of disgust. She smiled and said in a mocking tone: "Hey, the person wearing this outfit looks like a dog. Who should I think it is? If I hadn't looked at you. It’s so loud that I really can’t recognize it!”
"Pfft," Wei Zhenyu couldn't help laughing, this girl has a poisonous tongue.
"You, you," Meng Hanlin's face was red with anger, and his face was swollen and red, like a crab that had just come out of the pot, steaming.
You couldn't say a word for a long time, and this girl actually called him a dog, and his eyes were ashamed and angry.
He glanced around secretly, but fortunately it was just the three of them, so it wasn't embarrassing.
Wang Ruixue was too lazy to say anything to him and went into the county government office to handle road diversion.
What else does Meng Hanlin want to say?
Wei Zhenyu gave him a cold look, which made his legs tremble in fear.
That look was like an ice pick, filled with deep coldness, as if it could pierce into the bones.
His whole body was tense, and he stood on his head with cold hair. He rubbed his arms unconsciously. He was obviously under the sun, but he felt so cold at this moment. What is the background of this young man?
After completing the route, I returned to the inn and started preparing my things, as I was leaving tomorrow.
Meng Hanlin was in a depressed mood at night. He sat on a stool and turned the tea cup, asking his servants to inquire.
Haven't heard anything yet? He was severely beaten, and when he came back he had a bruised nose, swollen eyes, and two broken ribs.
Thinking of the way that young man looked at him today, the hairs on Meng Hanlin's body instantly stood on end. It was so terrifying.
Meng Zhixian was handling official business in the study, and the yamen servant showed the county magistrate the record of today's registration.
"Sir, this is the number of people registered as road guides today." The officer respectfully presented the information.
After Meng Zhixian wrote the last word, he put down his pen, pinched his eyebrows, and rubbed his temples. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked a little tired and haggard. He had been suffering from insomnia recently and was dizzy.
He took the book, opened it and flipped through it. When he saw the name "Wang Ruixue" of Tianmen Village, Meng Zhixian was shocked! His eyes widened and he couldn't help but become serious.
Seeing that the place of registration was Fu'an City, Magistrate Meng was confused? Traveling far away?
The Yamen servant was shocked! Are your eyes a little nervous and surprised? But what went wrong?
"Where does Miss Wang live now?" Magistrate Meng put down his notebook and asked seriously.
What do you think is the problem? His legs and feet were trembling with fear, and he said tremblingly: "Here, here, Wangyue Inn."
Magistrate Meng nodded and thought for a moment, "Go and invite Miss Wang."
The yamen servant immediately took orders to go to Wangyue Inn.
Wei Zhenyu returned to the inn and immediately asked someone to check. How did Meng Hanlin know Wang Ruixue?
Soon the man in black came to report, "Master, last year Magistrate Meng and his son made an unannounced visit to Tianmen Village.
Pretending to be a businessman, he stayed at Miss Wang's house just to inquire about cassava. Mr. Meng once had an unpleasant experience with Miss Wang.
As for the inside story, no one knew. One servant knew that he was being sold, and he later got sick and died. "
Wei Zhenyu squinted his eyes, with a murderous intent appearing in his eyes, and twisted the white jade finger on his thumb.
Since there is nothing wrong with harming Xueer, if he dares to hurt her, what will happen to the county magistrate's son? He waved his hand and signaled the man in black to retreat.
Wang Ruixue sat in her room and looked at the road guide in her hand. The road guide was a piece of paper on which she registered her name, age, place of origin, appearance, where she wanted to go, what she was carrying, and what she was going to do. Wang Ruixue wrote about a long journey, which was finally stamped by the government.
"Tuk tuk tuk...girl, there is someone looking for you downstairs."
Is Wang Ruixue surprised? Who is looking for her? Put the path in place and walk over to open the door.
The waiter saw Wang Ruixue's eyes looking a little strange and reminded him in a low voice, "Girl, you are from the government."
Wang Ruixue was even more surprised? What did the government want her to do?
Wei Zhenyu came out of the house when he heard the voice, "Government?" He was also a little surprised?
So Wei Zhenyu went down with her.
When the yamen servant saw Wang Ruixue, he hurriedly came over to greet her. His attitude was respectful and his tone was calm, "Miss Wang, please invite me."
"What do you adults want to do with Miss Wang?" Wei Zhenyu frowned, his face wary, his eyes tinged with coldness, and there was an invisible coercion on his body.
do not know why? When the yamen servant saw that Wei Zhenyu was inexplicably scared, he immediately smiled and said, "My lords, we saw Miss Wang's name on the road guide and wanted to meet her when she came to the county."
The county magistrate even sent her a congratulatory gift, and he was a nice person. Wang Ruixue had a good impression of him.
"Thank you, let's go." Wang Ruixue smiled politely at the yamen servant, stepped on the stool and got directly onto the carriage.
Wei Zhenyu also followed. He was worried that Wang Ruixue would go alone.
The officer didn't dare to say anything? This young man is too scary. Despite his gentle appearance, his eyes are too scary.
Arriving at the county government office and entering the inner courtyard, Wang Ruixue saw the inner courtyard of the county government office for the first time. Through the white light of the moonlight, she could roughly see that the environment was good, with rockeries, clear water, and lotus ponds with carps.
Stepping on the bluestone slabs, I walked through the verandah and came to the main hall, which was brightly lit at the moment.
Wang Ruixue sighed in her heart, it's different to have money and light so many candles.
The people were reluctant to light oil lamps and went to bed when it got dark.
