I am the county magistrate in Daming

"Generally, counties in small places do not have a secondary officer, only a county magistrate. However, Chongming County has a vast land, is adjacent to the sea, has complex personnel, and Taicang Prefecture is inconvenient to manage, so there is an additional secondary officer. There is a county magistrate and A master book."

"So that's the case." Mu Qingtian nodded, "Then, are the county magistrates and masters of the same rank?"

"Yes, they are all below the seventh grade." Zhu Jingshou replied, "In addition, there are officials and teaching officials who are in charge of food, folk customs, military defense and other things in the county. There is no official rank below the officials, but they serve as supervisory assistants. The role of the second official."

"Without grades, how to supervise?" Mu Qingtian was puzzled.

Zhu Jingshou smiled, and said: "If the relationship between Zuo Erguan and the magistrate is good, then there is no need to supervise. If Zuo Erguan refuses to listen to the order of the magistrate, then the magistrate has the right to report to the state government to request the dismissal of Zuo Erguan."

"After all, it's not a high-ranking official, that's all, as long as the county magistrate can find someone to fill in."

Mu Qingtian frowned. Isn't this kind of system forcing everyone to "protect each other" and to please their immediate superiors?

Zhu Jingshou patted Mu Qingtian's head and said, "I know what you're thinking, but the only ones who really have official positions are the chief officer and the assistant second officer. The rest of the officials and teaching positions are basically the same as Bai Ding, although they have grades."

"The chief officer is weak. If there is no supervision, the second officer will commit crimes. If the second officer is gone, he can be picked again. If the county magistrate is gone, it will be troublesome. Let alone the candidates, it will take at least a few months to reappoint time."

Mu Qingtian was able to take office so quickly, all because of him operating behind the scenes, no one dared to block King Qing's way.

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't be wronged."

"I hope." Mu Qingtian said listlessly.

After leaning for a while, Mu Qingtian suddenly remembered the county magistrate who had taken orders from Yao Jingdao and smashed the Fushou Hall, and asked, "Is the second officer who served under Yao Jingdao still there?"

Zhu Jingshou pinched a piece of pastry and brought it to Mu Qingtian's mouth, and said, "Take a bite first, and you won't feel hungry after talking all the way."

Mu Qingtian turned his head to avoid it.

It's a matter of life and death, and it doesn't matter if you are hungry for a while.The identity of the woman who attacked him last time has not yet been ascertained, but it is obvious that she is targeting herself, not King Qing, nor Zhang Fu.Maybe there was Zhang Fu, because Zhang Fu had already died in that scourge, and it was very likely that he killed him to silence him.

Mu Qingtian has no idea who is going to kill him, and Zhu Jingshou is also tight-lipped.

Being an official is really worrying.

"Eat two yuan, and I'll tell you when I eat it."

Mu Qingtian sadly covered his cheeks, and said, "Are you trying to make my tooth hurt again?"

Zhu Jingshou raised his eyebrows, turned his hand back, and opened the pastry to reveal the filling inside, and the carriage was filled with the aroma of pastry.

"If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself." Mu Qingtian was so greedy that his mouth was watering, and he refused to give in.

"Tsk tsk, look at this Liuxin egg yolk, it's the best duck egg in Zhejiang."

grunt.

"Hmm~~ Take a bite, the outer skin is so crispy, but the inner is soft, and there is a layer of sweet glutinous rice sandwiched, which leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth."

Mu Qingtian sucked back the saliva that was about to drip, covered his ears and said, "If you don't listen, don't listen to bastard chanting scriptures."

"What did you call me?" Zhu Jingshou was taken aback for a moment, and was a little annoyed after realizing it.

Mu Qingtian was quick to talk for a while, but it was hard to stop, so he could only lie and say: "What? You heard wrong, I didn't call you."

Zhu Jingshou sneered, pinned Mu Qingtian's arm with his backhand, and pressed him against the car wall.

"The thousand-year-old king and the 8-year-old tortoise, do I have to thank you for wishing me a long life?"

"No, no." Mu Qingtian wanted to cry but felt something pressing against him behind him.

My lord, calm down! !

"Eat or not?" Zhu Jingshou narrowed his eyes, freed up one hand to pick up the pastry and handed it to Mu Qingtian's mouth.

"Don't... eat?" Mu Qingtian still wanted to struggle one last time.

"If you don't eat me, I will kill you now." Zhu Jingshou pressed Mu Qingtian and posted it on the car wall.

strong man!It's in the car!There are so many people around! !

"Then I want to eat custard." Mu Qingtian turned his head and said pitifully.

"Okay." Zhu Jingshou changed his face for a second, let go of Mu Qingtian with a smile, and took a piece of pastry filled with custard yellow from the table and sent it to Mu Qingtian.

When the fragrance ran into his nose, Mu Qingtian's stomach grumbled twice.He rubbed in embarrassment, then sneaked up to look at Zhu Jingshou.

"Eat quickly, I'll make tea for you."

Extremely gentle, where is the momentum just now.

While making tea, he opened his mouth to answer Mu Qingtian's question: "Yao Jingdao's crimes are extremely heinous, and the second official beside him is also guilty of being a minion. Shi Hou's slips have been checked. Except for the master who is a little better, the rest of the people are not clean."

"Now you understand that if the county magistrate breaks the law, the assistant second officer will actually be imprisoned. It is okay to blindly please the county magistrate, but the premise is that their actions will not be discovered. Once the matter is revealed, those who should be dismissed should be dismissed." Those who ransack the house, those who deserve to lose their heads, no one can escape."

"The county magistrate under Yao Jingdao has been dismissed, and the master book is still in the county office for the time being. Wait for you to go and have a look. If you are satisfied, you can stay, and if you are not satisfied, you will also be driven away." He said casually, focused Make tea for Mu Qingtian.

Zhu Jingshou knew that Mu Qingtian's stomach was delicate, so he just stared at him while eating.The carriage was bumpy, and he was afraid that Mu Qingtian would get dizzy while sitting, so he didn't let him eat too much in the morning.Although it's not time for meal now, Mu Qingtian must be hungry.Eat less and eat more, and it will be fine when he arrives in Chongming County. He went to find some cooks to help Mu Qingtian recuperate his body.

"Oh." Mu Qingtian blushed and lowered his head to eat the pastry.

"Look at you, like a child, all the scum fell on you." Zhu Jingshou said fondly and helplessly after finishing the cup and turning sideways.

He put his hand an inch or so below Mu Qingtian's chin, holding the cake crumbs he ate.

"You, how can you pick it up with your hands?" Mu Qingtian quickly put down the pastry, took off the handkerchief and grabbed Zhu Jingshou's hand to wipe it.

As he wiped, his eyes became hotter and hotter, and the tears hung on the eyelashes, which could not be shed.

No one has ever been so kind to him, no one to help him catch the crumbs, no one to remind him to eat on time.

Zhu Jingshou looked distressed, gently hugged him in his arms, and said: "What about this king, when I was young, all I thought about was plotting, thinking about how to make myself and the emperor's brother live a stable life, and never loved anyone."

"It is said that people have seven emotions and six desires. I have tasted everything else, and only this 'love' is left. Qingqing will let me make up for the regrets of more than 20 years."

"En." Mu Qingtian hugged Zhu Jingshou back.

After a while, Zhu Jingshou was the first to let go.He clenched his fists without any trace, smiled and said to Mu Qingtian: "It's too hot in the car, I'll go outside to get some fresh air."

It was indeed too hot in the car, as you can tell from Mu Qingtian's flushed face.

"The inner one." Mu Qingtian grabbed Zhu Jingshou's clothes.

"Do you want me to help you?"

Zhu Jingshou burst into laughter when he heard this, put Mu Qingtian's hand in his palm and slowly kneaded it a few times, then let go.

"If Qingqing is willing, then let's save them together until the wedding night in the bridal chamber."

After speaking, he lifted the curtain of the car and rolled onto the table outside.

"Ah——!!!" He was so happy no matter what he thought, he couldn't help letting go and roaring.

Xiao Qi, who was driving the horse at the front, was shocked, slowed down and came to the side of Zhu Jingshou's carriage, and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Zhu Jingshou laughed twice and said, "It's nothing, the king is happy."

Mu Qingtian in the carriage wanted to bury himself in the cushion after hearing his words.Ahhhhh!What did he say just now, what is "I will help you"! !

Zhu Jingshou glanced at Xiao Qi's horse, and said domineeringly: "Give me the horse, you stay here to protect the princess."

princess? !Xiao Qi subconsciously picked out her ears.

Zhu Jingshou's face turned dark immediately, and he said, "Are your ears blocked? Do you want me to ask Xiao Lu to clean it for you?"

Xiao Qi shook her head like a rattle and kept saying no.Let Xiao Lu do the digging, I'm afraid it won't be "cutting for eternal governance".

Zhu Jingshou said the word "Princess" very softly, only he and Xiao Qi could hear it.

When he arrived in Chongming County, the environment was no better than Zimingli, so he had to ask Xiao San and Xiao Qi to protect Mu Qingtian like he protected him.

Xiao Qi nodded solemnly, her mouth was very strict, and she didn't say a word.He turned over and jumped onto the platform of the carriage, and handed the reins to Zhu Jingshou.

Zhu Jingshou rewarded Xiao Qi with a chestnut.

"I don't know if there is anyone in the car, lighten up!"

Xiao Qi feels wronged, but Xiao Qi doesn't say anything.When the prince has a new love, he forgets about old people like them... Hey, it doesn't seem right to say that.

Zhu Jingshou stepped on the horse lightly, got on the horse, and ran away for a long time.He carefree, he happy!All important matters of the family and the country, and the world, are all left behind at this moment.

Qingqing, the best Qingqing in the world, his Qingqing.

Xiao San rode forward, looked at the prince riding the horse not far away, and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Xiao Qi pretended to be profound.

"The Buddha said, don't say it."

QAQQQ why even you hit me!Are there any colleagues?

Zhu Jingshou didn't dare to run too far, he kept thinking about Mu Qingtian, and returned to the carriage after blowing enough cold wind to calm down.Mu Qingtian was sleeping on all fours, with cake crumbs on the corner of his mouth.

"Slow down, don't rush."

"Yes." Qing Shan reined in the reins.

In the carriage behind, Yao Qin put down the curtain silently and clenched his fists.

Walking and stopping, Mu Qingtian was well taken care of by Zhu Jingshou along the way, except for a little soreness in his limbs, there was no major problem.When entering the city, as soon as Mu Qingtian showed the official certificate, the officials guarding the city welcomed him in, all the way to the county government office in Chongming County.

The chief secretary Cui Han and everyone went to the county government office to welcome Mu Qingtian.

Mu Qingtian lifted his momentum and stepped up the steps of the county government office.

Cui Han bent over to make way for him, with all manners and manners, and his advances and retreats were measured.

[The system has been activated, and the regular task is now released. 】

[Routine task [-]: Contact Li Guang. 】

"grown ups!!"

When he opened his eyes again, Mu Qingtian found himself lying in a strange place.

"My lord, you are awake!" Cuizhu who was changing Mu Qingtian's towel at the side saw that Mu Qingtian woke up, and rushed out to call the doctor.

Mu Qingtian felt a dull pain in his forehead, he grabbed Cuizhu and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Distressed, Cui Zhu helped Mu Qingtian back to bed and lay down, and put a new hot towel on his forehead.

"My lord tripped over the threshold when he entered the county government office and knocked his head."

"Oh." Mu Qingtian lay back.

It's a dream, okay.

[The system reminds me that the time limit for regular missions is three months, please work hard. 】

Mu Qingtian jumped up from the bed, started to put on his shoes tremblingly, and said, "Go back to Zimingli, let's go back to Zimingli now."

"My lord, my lord..." Cuizhu couldn't stop Mu Qingtian, and she didn't know what happened to him suddenly, so she could only go out to find King Qing to have a look.

Zhu Jingshou heard that Mu Qingtian's situation was different, so he rushed in through the door, hugged Mu Qingtian who was still trembling, and comforted him little by little.

"It's okay, Chang'an is here, Chang'an is here."

Cui Zhu retreated to the door and intimately helped them close the door.

Mu Qingtian struggled to prevent Zhu Jingshou from touching him, dodging again and again, as if Zhu Jingshou was a scourge.

Li Guang is the person Zhu Jingshou must get rid of, but the system now asks him to contact Li Guang... A chill runs down his spine, how did he become Li Zheng, and Mu Yushi plays another role in this? What kind of role did you play.The most important thing is whether his father has anything to do with Li Guang! !

He can take the initiative to accept the punishment without doing the task.But Li Guang was already involved in the first routine task, and the subsequent tasks would only make him more and more trapped.If you fail consecutive missions, the punishment in the future may not be as simple as losing your sense of taste.

"Mu Qingtian, look at me!" Zhu Jingshou firmly held down Mu Qingtian's arm, pinched his chin and raised his face, making him look directly at him.

The eyes that used to be full of laughter and agility are now filled with despair and pain.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Mu Qingtian closed his eyes to escape, still struggling.

Zhu Jingshou blamed himself and was confused, blamed himself for not keeping a close eye on Mu Qingtian, causing him to fall on his head; he wondered why Mu Qingtian seemed to have changed after waking up.

Wait, fell on the head?Is it possible...

Zhu Jingshou straightened Mu Qingtian's head, and said in a low voice, "I'm asking you a few questions now, you just need to nod or shake your head, understand?"

Mu Qingtian didn't move.

"This king is asking you something!" Although he didn't want to, Zhu Jingshou still emphasized his tone.

Mu Qingtian shook and nodded slightly.

"You lost your memory before, but now you suddenly remembered something?" Zhu Jingshou asked.

Mu Qingtian hesitated and nodded.

"These things are related to this king, and they are also related to you, so you are hiding from this king?"

Mu Qingtian nodded.

"Selling an official title?"

Mu Qingtian's heart stopped beating.That's right, if Mu Yushi bought his Lizheng identity, everything would make sense.

"Is it related to Li Guang?"

Mu Qingtian trembled even more, bit his lip, and finally nodded.

It's over, it's over.

"Does your head still hurt?" Zhu Jingshou asked softly.

Mu Qing nodded consciously, then looked up at Zhu Jingshou who was smiling all over his face in shock.

"If it still hurts, take a good rest, don't think about what you have or what you don't have."

Mu Qingtian was gently laid down on the bed by him, and the quilt was tucked in, but he was still dazed and his mind was in a mess.

"You already knew?"

Zhu Jingshou smiled and said, "It doesn't count, it's just a guess."

Li Canshi is from Li Guang, and he also knew Yao Jingdao. If he was caught in a chain, he would not be able to escape from Taicangzhou to Zimingli, not to mention that Li Canshi had fled only a few days ago, and Mu Qingtian, an outsider, was appointed as Ziming. The new Lizheng in Li, anyone who thinks about it will think that he is also Li Guang's person.

He also thought so at the beginning, so he didn't like Mu Qingtian everywhere, and wanted to catch him.But after getting along with him, he not only got a better understanding of Mu Qingtian, but also fell in love with him.Realizing that something was wrong, he sent someone to investigate very early on, and finally learned the original appearance of the matter from Yao Jingdao.

Mu Qingtian's father, Mu Yushi, bought a "filial piety" position for his son, and after being manipulated by Taicang Zhouzhou Tong and Yao Jingdao, he finally sent Mu Qingtian to Zimingli to be a Lizheng.

Mu Yushi more or less knew some inside information, but judging from Mu Qingtian's performance, he might have been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end.People who really buy officials intend to enjoy the blessings, and it is good not to squeeze the people, let alone work day and night for Zimingli like Mu Qingtian.In addition, he does not shy away from his illiteracy. He is diligent and studious, and he can read and write in just a few months.

Amnesia... He heard that people who have lost their memory will have a big change in temperament after waking up.

Thinking of this situation, Zhu Jingshou met Cuizhufu Baofuyuan alone again, and asked them if Mu Qingtian was different from before.

"Before?" Cui Zhu was about to say, but found that she couldn't remember anything.She couldn't remember what the young master was like before.As far back as I can remember, the young master has always been like this, he is kind, smart and quick-witted.

"Yes." Fuyuan answered before Cuizhu, "Master was robbed by bandits on the road before he came from Mingli, and he has changed since then."

Fu Yuan's statement confirmed Zhu Jingshou's guess - it seemed that Mu Qingtian was frightened by his people and forgot about the past.Zhu Jingshou felt a little guilty, but more relaxed.Can't remember the past best.

Zhu Jingshou spoke slowly, and Mu Qingtian was also comforted by his gentle tone and warm hands on his face.

"You know that I might be Li Guang's man and a spy, why are you still treating me so well?"

Zhu Jingshou pinched Mu Qingtian's face, and said with a smile: "Who knows? If Li Guang originally planned to follow the 'beauty trick', then he really did the right thing. This king is fascinated by you."

Most importantly, he believed in his own vision, and also believed in Mu Qingtian.Even if her memory recovers one day, Qingqing will not change much, let alone return to Li Guang's side.

"What nonsense." Mu Qingtian wanted to pat Zhu Jingshou's hand, but after touching his warm skin, Mu Qingtian stopped for a while, slowly covered Zhu Jingshou's hand, and rubbed his face against his dry palm.

"I won't hurt you."

"Well, the king knows."

After saying all the words, the big stone in Mu Qingtian's heart fell to the ground.Following Zhu Jingshou's words, he said that although he had recovered his memory, he only remembered part of it, and the rest was still very vague.

After discussing with Zhu Jingshou, he decided not to tear himself apart with Li Guang, and continued to contact Li Guang, getting closer to Li Guang as an undercover agent.

"He's starting to suspect you now. The woman in Zhang's mansion last time is probably his. You have to be careful."

"Ah."

In Shuntian Mansion, in the imperial palace, Zhu Youtang has not gone to court for three days.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li is asking to see you."

Zhu Youtang lay in the smoke, lazily raised his hand, and said, "Xuan."

"Yes."

Now that the prosperous age has come, he is becoming more and more unable to keep up his energy, and he always feels tired all over.

"Your Majesty, Wan'an." Li Guang walked in with small steps, kneeling respectfully and obediently at Zhu Youtang's feet.

"Li Aiqing is free of courtesy." Zhu Youtang cheered up, "I have always felt tired and tired these days. Aiqing came here at this time, but did the heavenly script have instructions?"

A look of panic flashed across Li Guang's face, he quickly knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The golden light suddenly appeared from the north last night, and the book of heaven also felt it, and the golden dragon emerged."

Zhu Youtang was excited, he sat up straight and said: "The golden dragon has been formed, so I am not forever."

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Li Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhu Youtang said, "Since it's a happy event, why doesn't Aiqing raise her head?"

Li Guang's body trembled even more violently, and he dared not say a word.

"Say! I pardon you for not guilty." Zhu Youtang's face darkened, and he slammed the table.

"Yes."

Seeing that Zhu Youtang had taken the bait, Li Guang secretly rejoiced, raised his head, and said with a look of panic: "The heavens feel that the emperor has worked hard to rule and open up a prosperous world, so he sent down the immortal energy to help the golden dragon take shape."

"But... once the Golden Dragon is established, it will return to its position." Li Guangshi closed his eyes and knelt on the ground after finishing saying this.

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty..."

The golden dragon returns to the sky, doesn't it mean that Zhu Youtang's life is not long?

"What nonsense!"

Zhu Youtang was furious, picked up the teacup in hand and threw it on Li Guang's head.

The tea dripped down his face, and the tea leaves stuck to his hair, but Li Guang didn't dare to make any further movements, and just kowtowed to apologize.

After being silent for a stick of incense, Zhu Youtang spoke again.

"Aiqing, get up, I'm excited at the moment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Guang stood up, but still bowed and stood aside.

"The golden dragon is back, is there a way to break it?" He didn't want to die.

Li Guang quickly said: "The heavenly book has instructions, it is not a door to death, I will definitely find a way to crack it after a few days of deduction."

Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing. Come and reward me!"

Li Guangda was overjoyed, he laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared, and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to share the emperor's worries, and he does not ask for rewards."

Zhu Youtang felt a little better after listening to these words, and said: "Those who are capable will work harder, and that's it, don't say any more."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Guang withdrew from the hall, walked not far away, immediately changed his face, raised his hand and slapped the little eunuch beside him.

"Didn't you see that my clothes are wet! Haven't brought a new one yet!"

The young eunuch who was beaten didn't dare to resist, and said with a flattering smile: "This servant deserves to die, this servant will go now."

"Things without eyes." Li Guang snorted, and sat down on another young eunuch.

"My lord, are you sitting comfortably?" The little eunuch endured the pain and lowered his waist as much as possible.

"Not bad." Li Guang didn't even blink his eyes, "Which palace are you from?"

"Return to your lord's words..." Before the little eunuch finished speaking, he heard Li Guang say.

"It's so noisy, how can you serve the emperor and queen, drag it on."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Mu Qingtian (rubbing waist): What did the director do these days, why did he wake up later than me?

Zhu Jingshou (helping to rub his waist): I'm on cp and plague, so ignore her.

Be lazy these days!Old Nine Gates is so pretty! !
