Chapter 41 Daily Exposure

"What about you? Do you think it's in vain?" At this moment, a low voice came from my ear.

She raised her head abruptly when she heard the words, and directly met his looking eyes, which were dark and bottomless.

At this moment, she subconsciously answered: "No..."

Yong Qi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to be so forthright and to answer so directly.

Yinyue was also stunned for a moment, the laughing voices of Little Yanzi and others around her were still in her ears, but at this moment she could clearly hear her unusually strong heartbeat.

She blushed slightly, turned and walked to the corridor as if nothing had happened.

Yong Qi hooked the corners of her lips, feeling more and more bright in her heart.

The eight people chatted while admiring the moon in the yard, and continued to talk about the topic of the master punishing corrupt officials during the day. They circled around, perhaps because the moonlight was bleak and cold, gradually leading people to silence.

"I was thinking, how busy Yuelao would be if he took care of the marriages in the world..." Ziwei looked at the moon and said with emotion.

Little Yanzi rubbed her chin and looked at the sky, subconsciously said: "Anyway, I grew up in a temple, I... oops..." In the middle of speaking, Yong Qi pulled it over, and Yin Yue took it, which was handed over to Benjamin. arms.

Banjamin quickly motioned to Little Swallow to look at the sky.

Qing'er looked at them, and then took another look at Yinyue, there was something so obviously wrong, if she didn't notice it, she would be really blind.No wonder she felt something strange along the way. It turned out that the biggest strange thing was not Ziwei's meticulous care of the master, but the contrast between her good sister Yinyue.

Since returning to the palace until today, she has paid more attention to Yinyue's emotional changes, feeling gratified that the iron tree has finally blossomed, but neglecting some of her other changes.

She must have something to hide from herself.

Little Swallow grinned, not knowing what to say.

Benjamin hurriedly said: "I still find it very strange, why is it an old man who is in charge of your marriage? Aren't old men generally confused?"

Erkang took it quickly: "Whether it's Yuelao or Cupid, as long as it's useful, it's good."

"I'm afraid that Yuelao's red line is not held firmly, or the golden arrow is not enough to hit the target." Yinyue left Banjaming Yongqi's side at some point, leaned on the railing beside the steps behind her, and said leisurely.

For some reason, Erkang felt choked.

However, what Yinyue said meant that she was more inclined towards Little Swallow and Benjamin.The temperament of having fun when he has nothing to do is careless, and he didn't understand Benjamin's intentions at all. It is estimated that Yuelao is really old, and Cupid is really too young.

I feel sorry for Benjamin for three seconds.

The people continued to move forward until they arrived at Xiang County. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county, they saw three plainly dressed people waiting at the gate.

"Liu Yixin, the local county magistrate, respectfully welcomes the emperor to come. Long live the emperor." The leader, a middle-aged man in plain clothes, bowed in the direction of the carriage.

Fu Heng and E Min rode in front. Seeing this, Fu Heng said: "Liu Zhixian, how do you know that the emperor is here? Our party did not notify the counties and counties to welcome him."

Liu Yixin raised his head to look at him, and said respectfully: "You are Mrs. Fu, right? Governor Li came to tell you what Mr. Li said, saying that the emperor is going to pass by here, so let me welcome you. I understand that the emperor doesn't want to disturb the people, so I come here. You and your subordinates are all here in plain clothes, and the common people don’t know about it, please rest assured.”

Fu Heng nodded in appreciation.

In the carriage, the master got out of the carriage with the support of Ziwei and Qing'er, and walked slowly.

Immediately, Yinyue and others got off their horses and stood beside the master.

Liu Yixin saw that the emperor saluted again, and the master nodded when he saw that he had come to greet him, and went to his mansion to settle down temporarily.

The government office in Liuzhi County is almost beyond what everyone has seen or imagined.Although it is not dilapidated, it is almost the same. The courtyard is as simple as a farmyard, and the courtroom where you go to work is even more rudimentary. There are water leaks on the roof, and there are basins on the ground to catch water.

Liu Yixin moved ahead of everyone one by one the basins on the ground, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Yinyue looked around, this place is not at all like the state civil servants should be, even modern Chinese officials don't have the living environment like Liuzhi County.

"Be careful!" She walked slowly, only looking at the surrounding environment, only hearing Yong Qi's voice next to her ear, almost at the same time as his words fell, she tripped over the threshold.

Almost fell on the front.

Thanks to Yong Qi who made a hand in addition to making a sound, otherwise landing her face on the ground would have been unavoidable.

"Yinyue, are you hurt?" When the master turned around, he saw that she was supported by one arm by Yongqi, standing upright, worried and a little funny.

Yin Yue quickly shook her head at the master, expressing that she was fine.

Seeing that she was really fine, the master shook his head amusedly, walked to the seat in the courtroom and sat down while shaking his fan.

Water was still dripping on the desk in the courtroom, and when he turned his head, he saw the water falling drop by drop into the water basin on the upper left, which caused a slight splash and made him tremble.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. It just rained yesterday, and the leaks on the roof haven't been repaired in time. You should be damned if you offend the Emperor." Liu Yixin hurriedly moved the water basin down, apologizing to the master.

The master looked at him in plain clothes, and asked gently: "Magistrate Liu, why are there so few people in your yamen, and this official building seems to be in disrepair for a long time... Is this place not good at taxation?"

He went to the case and took an old notebook, and handed it to the master: "Your Majesty, this is the accounting book of Xiang County's tax revenue over the years. It clearly records that Xiang County's annual tax revenue, except for necessary expenses, is turned over to the state treasury." .”

The master flipped through the ledger, looked at a page, and his eyes softened: "Well, the tax revenue in this place is really good. Then why don't you allocate bonuses to repair the official building?"

Liu Yixin bowed his head: "Returning to the emperor, the humble official believes that the government is to serve the people, and it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain. If something breaks occasionally, the humble official can repair it by himself."

"Ah...Liu Zhixian, you still have to go to repair the house yourself?" Little Yanzi was surprised when he heard this.

Liu Yixin smiled embarrassedly, and was about to answer, but a person shouted from outside the door, calling Liu Zhixian's name, with such an aura as if there was some deep hatred.

Yinyue approached the door, and when she heard the sound, she immediately turned to look, and went out one step faster than the master and Liu Zhixian.I happened to see a man holding a folding fan in one hand, striding forward and calling "Liu Yixin" and walked into the yard, but was stopped by officers and soldiers.

"Liu Yixin, come out!" The man was stopped by the officers and soldiers of the government office at the door, pointed at the two of them with a fan, and pushed them arrogantly: "What are you two doing, even this scholar dares to stop you! Get out of the way! "

"Wang Xiucai?" Liu Yixin ran out quickly, and when he saw that it was really Wang Xiucai, his head exploded: "Wang Xiucai, what are you doing? What's the point of yelling?"

When Wang Xiucai saw the person he was looking for came out, he became even more imposing. He pushed away two officers and soldiers and went to Liu Zhixian, pointing at him and questioning: "Liu Yixin, how did you handle the case? My girl stole money and asked him You sentenced her to the whale sentence, why did you let her go so easily!"

Liu Zhixian patiently explained: "Wang Xiucai, a girl who has not left the cabinet, if you sentence her to the whale sentence, it will be a lifetime mark! How do you let her marry in the future? Besides, she stole money to treat her father's illness. But Yuan, I also admitted my mistake, so I have to forgive others."

Wang Xiucai waved his hand: "I don't care. If she stole the money, I will punish her and make an example! How can I bypass it so easily? If other servants follow her example, wouldn't the house be in peace?! If you don't If you are sentenced, I will appeal to the governor, and then you will not be able to escape even sitting down, and you will be punished together!"

Liu Yixin was startled when he heard this: "Wang Xiucai, don't you know that, according to the Qing Dynasty's law, people are not allowed to report to the higher level?"

Wang Xiucai: "Hmph, no matter what the laws of the Qing Dynasty are, my background is very strong, and there are so many friends of mine in the court!"

As soon as he said this, everyone standing behind Liu Yixin and watching the changes opened their eyes wide, thinking that this person can really brag, not to mention his audacity, but Haikou would boast.

Little Swallow immediately lost her temper, stepped forward and said, "Hey, you are still a scholar, why do you talk like farting? If you keep saying 'Liu Yixin', 'Liu Yixin', who would allow you to call Liu Zhixian by his name directly?" ? You are simply bold, arrogant, and unreasonable!"

Yinyue raised her eyebrows, and silently gave Little Yanzi an appreciative look—even though she couldn't see it.

Wang Xiucai blushed from being insulted, pointed at her and stared at her: "Where did you come from, you stinking girl, dare to insult this scholar! I..." Before I finished speaking, I raised my hand and was about to hit Little Swallow.

Yinyue was not far away, and she was about to stop her with a stride, but Liu Yixin took a step ahead.

"Wang Xiucai!" He grabbed Wang Xiucai's arm, threw it aside forcefully, and said angrily, "It's fine if you usually yell at me, but I can't tolerate your nonsense today! You don’t have to kneel down to me, a little seventh-rank magistrate, but I still have other ways to punish you!”

As he said that, he ordered the yamen servant to hold Wang Xiucai, and asked another to go to the main hall to get the ruler.

Wang Xiucai watched him furious and struggling restlessly to no avail.Forced to stretch out one hand, Liu Yixin took the ruler handed over by the yamen servant, and beat it down hard.

Only Wang Xiucai's screams were heard in the yard.

Everyone just felt happy, watching Liu Zhixian beat him a dozen times before giving up.

"Ah... ah..." Wang Xiucai folded her hands and spun around on the spot, her eyes were red, and she didn't know whether she was crying in pain or angry.He pointed at Liu Zhixian with trembling fingers, and gritted his teeth: "Liu Yixin, you hateful dog official, you dare to hit me...I hand over so much money to the emperor every year, and the emperor will look at my face...How dare you hit me? Me! I, I want to sue the emperor to make you die—"

There was a moment of silence.

Liu Yixin: "It's the duty of the people to turn in the national treasury, and it's an act of patriotism. There's nothing to claim credit for! If you continue to swear nonsense, I'll notify the instructor to pick you up as a scholar!"

Wang Xiucai: "How dare you—"

"Hahaha..." The master suddenly laughed out loud, and walked slowly to Liu Zhixian's side.

Liu Yixin bowed immediately when he heard the sound: "Your Majesty, I have alarmed you."

I saw that Wang Xiucai's face changed immediately when he heard him say the emperor, and he didn't dare to scream while covering his hands. He looked at the emperor cautiously, and instantly his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground without raising his head.

"I finally saw a local official who is not afraid of power and dares to do things." Qianlong squinted at Wang Xiucai, walked into him, condescended, and said: "When will I want to look at the face of a villain like you? When did the imperial court have an arrogant and rude talent like you? Ignoring the laws of the Qing Dynasty and beating the royal children, I will take off your hat and remove your fame now!"

"Liu Zhi County!"

Liu magistrate: "The humble job is here!"

"Put him in prison immediately."

"Yes!"

The yamen servants dragged Wang Xiucai out of the official residence, Wang Xiucai regretted that he shouted for forgiveness and forgiveness, but no one paid any attention.
