Chapter 196: Decent people go through the motions

Li Qingxian said: "What does it mean? There is no evidence, no clues, just let us come. Isn't this nonsense?"

"With the evidence and clues, it's our turn to come here at night? They have already started." Jing Guan asked.

"What you said makes sense. What should we do? There are more than two hundred people, and it is impossible to visit secretly. Now the patrol department is spread out in all directions, and I heard that the criminal department is also moving. The anti-thieves and rebels must have received the news ." Li Qingxian said.

"Indeed."

"What do you usually do when this happens?" Li Qingxian asked.

"Tell the truth?"

"Tell the truth."

"The decent one is to go through the motions, bring the cloth and carry the backpack. The dishonorable one is to make a fuss and scratch the ground. After all, this is Beichang County, and the forces are complicated. No one knows what will happen to them. Which ancestor, so when internal officials come here, they usually choose decent ones."

"Where's the errand?"

"Let us, those of the highest rank seven, catch rebels and rebels. Is this what humans do? I'm not talking about you, Qingxian. Our patrol department's main duty is to investigate. We must first investigate before we can arrest." Jing Guanyu said seriously. .

"You successfully convinced me." Li Qingxian said.

Jing Guandao: "However, the Emperor's birthday is a top priority. Since we can't visit secretly, we should make a louder noise. You can do this."

"What do I know?" Li Qingxian was a little confused.

"We are all our own, stop pretending. No one else knows about you shouting long live on the city wall and then writing a first-class war poem. Who in our inner court doesn't know? Who doesn't... give you a thumbs up to praise your loyalty!" Jing Guan Tao.

"I said it from the bottom of my heart, and you are right to praise me!" Li Qingxian said with a serious face.

Jing Guan smiled and said nothing.

Li Qingxian thought for a while and said: "Then let's make a louder noise and take out the signs of the inner factory, the night guard and the patrol department. However, we can't delay the business and arrange for people to visit at the same time."

"We are all strangers, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to investigate." Jing Guan has rich experience.

"Of course, let the local government officials investigate." Li Qingxian said.

Jing Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "If the rebels and rebellious Nishe Mingshan people really took root in Beichang County, wouldn't you let them investigate their own people?"

"If I could know, who is not one of theirs?" Li Qingxian smiled.

"Even the great fortune-teller will die from exhaustion." Jing Guan said.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Li Qingxian said.

The two got off the tree and led the team into Beichang County.

The Beichang County government office was brightly lit, the torches were beeping and beeping, and a dense crowd of three shifts of government officials lined up from outside the door to the county government lobby.

Sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the lobby of the county government office was a young man in green clothes wearing black wolf patches.

Li Qingxian sat high on the Grand Master's chair, scanning the bottom and sitting beside him.

Yin Shuli, the magistrate of Beichang County, stood on the left side with the county magistrate, chief registrar, county lieutenant and other local officials, while the people brought by Li Qingxian stood on the right side.

Li Qingxian said: "You have also read the letters from Yin Zhixian, Neichang and Night Guard. I know that you can stand firm in Beichang County, and there are people who can reach the sky behind you, but I'm sorry, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest .What do you think, Mr. Jing?"

Jing Guan had a round face and small eyes, smiled kindly, and said: "Everything is subject to Mr. Li's words. What Mr. Li says is the word of the inner factory. Whoever goes against Mr. Li is going against our family. Whoever goes against our family will do it." Just go against the inner factory.”

The officials below were thoughtful.

Li Qingxian said slowly: "I, Li Qingxian, have a straight mind and don't like to beat around the bush. Let's open the skylight and speak openly. The inner factory has just taken power and the patrol department has been established. When people leave the city, the sword is unsheathed and there is no blood, it is shameless to go back." Yes. I don’t expect you to cooperate too much. I just hope that you will take it easy and don’t hit the patrol officer’s knife edge and let me sacrifice the knife. Young people like me just want to see blood and make meritorious deeds. If you don’t believe it, you can compare it with me. Which is faster, the noble people behind you, or my sword."

That Yin Shuli hurriedly bowed and said: "Since your Excellency has said so much, I would be too confused if I still don't know how to show respect. Don't worry, Lord Li. I guarantee that if there is someone who doesn't know how to show respect, I will definitely punish him severely." ! The Emperor’s birthday cannot be disturbed!”

Yin Shuli was a lean middle-aged man in his forties. He squinted and glanced at the Beichang County officials behind him.

All the officials hurriedly bent down to bow and expressed their assurances.

Li Qingxian nodded and said with a smile: "The rebels and rebels are deeply hidden. Yin Zhixian has been an official here for many years, and he has certainly not wasted his time. If Yinzhi County has no clues, we outsiders who have just arrived may not be able to do anything. However, After all, we are on the emperor's mission and eat the emperor's food. There are some things that we know we can't do, but we still have to give it a try. Of course, we cannot destroy the good situation of stability and unity in Beichang County. Therefore, everything in Beichang County continues as usual. The third class of government officials , the standing class remains unchanged, I only take over the arresting class and part of the strong class, I wonder how many soldiers there are in the third class of Beichang County Yamen?"

Yin Shuli felt a chill in his back and said bravely: "Logically speaking, even if Beichang County is a large county, the quota of handymen should not exceed one hundred. However, the situation in Beichang County is complicated and complicated, and requires many People, so there are over a thousand soldiers in three squads."

Li Qingxian and Jing Guan looked at each other. Although they had known that the county staff was bloated, they never imagined that it would reach this point.

Li Qingxian smiled and said: "We are here only for the investigation, and we don't care about other things. How about this, leave the detectives and strong men needed for daily needs, and the rest will be included in my team?"

"I obey your orders!" Yin Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qingxian looked at the sky and said, "It's already late at night, let's get going first. I'd like to ask Magistrate Yin to arrange the rooms so that the brothers can have a good sleep."

"As commanded."

After all the fuss, everyone took a break, and Li Qingxian and a few others stayed at the county government office.

Li Qingxian found Han Anbo, and the two discussed for a long time before they separated.

At dawn, after breakfast, Li Qingxian was discussing with Jing Guan, when Yin Shuli came with the yamen servant, who was holding a large stack of red greeting cards.

Yin Shuli said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Li and Mr. Jing were coming, and the gentry in the county sent letters of greetings one after another, saying that they would take care of the two adults."

Li Qingxian glanced at Jingguan, thought for a while, and said: "I have the emperor's mandate, so it's not a good idea to go. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will dishearten people. Let's just say that my practice of life skills is at a critical juncture. It's inconvenient. We are here to meet guests. Please ask Mr. Jing to go on our behalf. Since we are gentry and not foreign officials, it doesn’t matter."

"That's fine, I'll let you arrange everything," Yin Shu said politely.

When Yin Shuli left, Jing Guan asked, "Are you really not going?"

"I'm not good at socializing, and who knows there are some secrets here that I can't see clearly. What if my late father's enemies pick on me at the banquet? Why don't I refuse them directly? I came to Beichang County and I didn't want to interact with you. If these people are related, they should finish their work and leave early. I am a life magician first, and an official secondly. I didn't think about this in the past, but now I think about it thoroughly." Li Qingxian said.

"Forget it, I will be responsible for welcoming them and sending them there, and you will be responsible for investigating the rebels. However, do we want to go to the mine supervisor and Beichang Guard not far away?"

Li Qingxian said: "The mine supervisor cannot be offended. He is also an internal official. Just go and see him. I will find a gift for you to send to me. As for Beichang Wei, we will not contact you for the time being. When we really need it, we will do business again." Public office, please mobilize people."
