Lin Chenshu sat naturally and as a matter of course. Lu Qi, who followed him, looked at it for a while, but saw that Lin Chenshu had already picked up the book on the table and flipped through it.

What is he looking at?

Lu Qishi walked forward, but saw that Lin Chenshu wasn't really looking at something—the newly promoted sixth-rank official only flipped through the book a few times before putting the book back.

"..." Afterwards, Lu Qi saw Lin Chenshu propping his forehead with his hands, and pretending to sleep with his eyes closed.

With a black crown on top of his head and a red band hanging down his face, he was quiet and quiet. When he got closer, Lu Qi noticed that there was a circle of very light blue shadows under the other's eyelids, as if he had stayed up late.

At this time, people from the government office have already arrived one after another.The first group to arrive was a group of yamen servants that Lin Chenshu had seen before. This group of people stood outside the door of the yamen hall. Seeing someone sitting in the yamen hall, they looked surprised and looked at each other a few times. Go to the hall.

After a while, someone led a group of people over, the leader was wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, and the yamen servant next to him saw the pile of luggage and shouted "County Lieutenant".

The county lieutenant who had just arrived strode into the yamen hall, and was taken aback when he saw the people sitting in the yamen hall.He looked at the new governor, thinking that he should be a senior in his forties, but he didn't expect that the other party looked quite young, only about 20 years old, and his appearance was fair, completely different from what he had imagined. Same.

He paused in his steps, seeing the other party resting with his eyes closed, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have come a little too fast, so he hesitated a little, and chose an inconspicuous place to wait for him.

After another incense stick, people from outside the yamen hall arrived one after another.The county magistrate and the master Bo also came together, and they were slightly taken aback when they saw a young man in red clothes sitting on the seat where the magistrate was originally sitting.

The rumors turned out to be true.The two laughed secretly, tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Lu Qi frowned, and couldn't help looking away at Lin Chenshu's reaction.There were more and more people in this yamen hall, and it became more and more noisy, but Lin Chenshu who was beside him didn't even lift his eyelids, and didn't care about other people's eyes on him at all.

Another quarter of an hour later, Pengzhi County finally arrived late.

He was the last one to arrive at the yamen hall, and when he entered the hall, the people in the county yamen had basically stood up.The head of Pengzhi County was wearing a seventh-rank official uniform. When he saw a young man in a red official uniform sitting on his original seat, his eyes narrowed, but soon a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and said: " Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin? Peng Youchao, the magistrate of Tianlan County, has seen Mr. Inspector."

Among the people present, only Peng Youchao had the highest official position and stood at the front.Behind him followed the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and Zhu Bo, and after the three, there was a yamen servant who was the foreman.

It's just that he usually sits on the chair at the top of the yamen hall, but this time someone else sat on the chair, so he can only stand at the bottom of the hall with the yamen servant

"Yeah." After Lin Chenshu heard the words, he didn't know whether he was woken up or he hadn't slept. He finally opened his eyes and looked down at the people below the yamen hall.

This man can put on a show.Peng Youchao was thinking in his heart, but smiled on his face: "The lower official was busy with business just now, and I lost my way. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Chenshu said.

With that said, he sat up straight.

Peng Youchao secretly examined each other's appearance.

In fact, he didn't expect Lin Chenshu to take office in Tianlan at all today. It was because when the yamen servant notified the governor to investigate the case, he thought he had heard it wrong at first, until he sent someone to secretly investigate for a while to confirm that the other party After looking at his appearance, it was confirmed that the person who came should be Lin Chenshu himself.

When Lin Chenshu first arrived, he summoned people to the Yatang, and his behavior was unexpected.But Peng Youchao thought for a while whether the other party was an official of higher rank than himself, and finally decided to go to the Yamen to test it out.

But now, Lin Chenshu was in front of him, with a pale face, even wearing an official uniform could not hide the sickness on his face, he looked weaker than ordinary men.

"Master Lin came suddenly, what's the reason?" Seeing that the other party was young and looked similar to the rumors, Peng Youchao asked relievedly.

He fully expected that Lin Chenshu would mention Qingshan's case investigation just as the yamen servant had just reported, but he heard Lin Chenshu straight to the point: "In the name of the emperor, I'm investigating the fact that the capital was transported to Saibei three months ago and the military assets were stolen." It has been learned that the case of military assets is related to the bandits in Qingshan. Pengzhi County, you are the magistrate of Tianlan County and the Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses. Now you need to send a group of officers and soldiers to Qingshan to suppress the bandits."

Lin Chenshu spoke resoundingly in the yamen hall, and basically repeated the request Lu Qi made to him to his officials.

Lu Qi glanced at Lin Chenshu a few times, but he didn't expect the other party to act directly and speak more directly.

Peng Youchao didn't expect that Lin Chenshu would abandon the investigation process and directly request to send troops.

Is this a test?

His complexion changed slightly, thinking that if someone knew that something happened to such important supplies as military supplies in his jurisdiction, he might be implicated, so he quickly pretended not to know: "Master Lin, you just said that the batch of military supplies from the emperor Was it stolen in Qingshan? Didn’t it be said earlier that the military assets were stolen near the Saibei Rhone River? How could this happen?”

"Pengzhi County, as the official of Tianlan's parents, actually neglected his duties and didn't know that such a major incident occurred in his jurisdiction." Lin Chenshu didn't explain, but just looked at Peng Youchao and said.

Lin Chenshu spoke coldly, and directly pointed his hat at Pengzhi County. The yamen servants present all raised their heads when they heard the words, and couldn't help looking up at Lin Chenshu a few more times.

The county lieutenant standing behind Peng Youchao also frowned, looking secretly at Lin Chenshu.

Peng Youchao failed to evade, but was held accountable by Lin Chenshu in front of everyone, his face sank, but seeing that Lin Chenshu was still in the government hall, he could only endure it and said: "Master Lin doesn't know something, the size of Daqingshan It's vast and the terrain is complicated. The bandits built their villages according to the terrain, and it's not something I can manage with the strength of Tianlan County. The military assets were robbed in Qingshan, and this is the first time I heard about it. Sir, how did you determine the military assets? The place that was robbed was in my Qingshan Tianlan area?"

Lu Qi also frowned.

It seems that Peng Youchao is determined to separate Qingshan's matter from himself.But Lin Chenshu is a chess piece that the emperor found to put on the bright side, and he actually doesn't know what happened to Qingshan Tianlan.

Shadow was thinking, but he heard the sixth-rank governor in red sitting next to him sneer, he didn't speak in a soft tone like he was talking to himself, and said in a sarcasm: "Pengzhi County, I'm talking about sending soldiers to Qingshan , but you are eager to get rid of yourself and the military resources over and over again, isn't it a bit self-deprecating?"

"..." Peng Youchao shuddered.

Lin Chenshu didn't follow his routine at all.

Under the plaque in the yamen hall, Lin Chenshu still had that delicate face, but at this moment, the man in official uniform had a sneer on his lips, and his eyes were bright, so he didn't have the weak feeling before.

This man is obviously a joke that has been circulated among the officials and gentry circles in the capital, he is the son of a businessman with a stinky suit that makes people look down upon.

Peng Youchao clenched his fists secretly, seeing Lin Chenshu's aggressiveness, he could only swallow his anger for a while and said: "Master Lin, I was just surprised for a moment, and offended you unintentionally, please forgive me."

He found a step for himself, and then Chen Shu said in a calm tone: "Forget it, just send me your troops, and I will personally lead people to encircle and suppress the bandits."

The bandit in Qingshan Tianlan has money dealings with the county government, and this person in front of him is the governor. If he collects relevant evidence during the siege of the bandit, then the entire county government will be in trouble.

The county magistrate and Zhu Bo in the county government were shocked at the same time.Several foremen and yamen servants also looked at each other in blank dismay. Only the county lieutenant looked at the governor sitting in the yamen hall with a slight surprise on his face when he heard the words "encircle and suppress personally".

Can this assassin with thin arms and legs really go to places like Qingshan to fight bandits?

...Judging from his tone, it seems to be okay.

The county captain looked at Lin Chenshu's pale face and thought secretly.Sure enough, Peng Youchao straightened up and replied, "I don't know how many people the governor needs?"

"Five hundred officers and soldiers." Lin Chenshu replied.

"That's fine. In a few days, I will dispatch 500 people to the governor." Peng Zhixian finally did not shirk, and smiled, "The governor must have been tired after traveling all the way from the capital to Tianlan. My lord prepares the room and cleanses you up."

As he spoke, he made a look at Master Bo behind him.

Master Lu understood, and hurriedly came to invite Lin Chenshu with a smile on his face, but saw that Lin Chenshu had already stood up from his chair, and his voice returned to the coldness before: "How many days? All the soldiers and horses in Pengzhi County Why does it take so long for the supervisor to mobilize manpower? This officer wants to send troops to Qingshan today."

Lin Chenshu was at the front of the yamen hall, standing one step above the people in the yamen hall. At this time, he stood up, the sleeves of his official uniform fluttered slightly, and with his tall stature, he looked a bit intimidating.

Lu Zhubo, who was about to step forward, suddenly stopped and did not dare to move.

Peng Youchao also turned around slowly, looking back at Lin Chenshu.

The Qingshan Bandit has an interest in him, so of course he can't let Lin Chenshu find out.Therefore, he had to try his best to delay the time until the person who could restrain Lin Chenshu—the person in the court who actually robbed the military assets came, so that he could be preserved.

As long as those people can be delayed until those people come over, Lin Chenshu's arrogance that is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf will definitely be suppressed.

Perhaps, that adult will not let Lin Chenshu go.

Peng Youchao looked at the young officials on the stage and laughed, but he said kindly on his face, "Lord Lin, to be honest, Master Zhizhou has recently assigned a task. There are not as many officers and soldiers in Lan County as there are 500, and we need to wait for these officers and soldiers to come back for help before we can gather this group of people for you. Master Lin might as well stay in Tianlan County for a few nights, and it will not be too late to send troops."

He looked at Lin Chenshu with a smile, but saw Lin Chenshu's face was cold, and his voice was frosty: "Then what if I have to send troops today?"

"That can't be helped." Peng Youchao said, "These officers and soldiers were ordered by Lord Zhizhou. Lord Zhizhou is of the same rank as him, and he is my direct superior. I can't resist."

As he spoke, he looked at the people standing in the yamen hall, disdainful in his heart, and said helplessly on his face: "Besides, my lord is an inspector, if he directly oversteps his power and takes over the army, I'm afraid the lord Zhizhou will not like it. I know lord is eager to suppress bandits , but the powers of this matter are different, please don’t embarrass me and let you down.”
